Jun You Ji Fou

The afterglow of the setting sun is swallowed by the high and steep peaks and cliffs, and the night covers the world, and the bright moon shines brightly, reflecting a rustling bamboo forest on the outskirts of Chang'an.Bamboo shadows are indistinct, in a quiet and strange place, there are faint voices broken in the wind.

"Master Su, I suddenly feel that you are not here to investigate the casino."

"how you said that?"

"Look at the situation where no one is around, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a night-run tryst. You might as well be honest. Could it be that you have already been tempted and plan to do something to me?"

"……what can I do?"

Chu Mingyun closed his clothes, held the sandalwood fan in his hand, stared at Su Shiyu's back with a half-smile, and said, "It's natural that we can do more, why don't we discuss it carefully. I can teach you about this body. How to take off the clothes faster, you can also tell me which one you like..."

"Lord Chu," Su Shiyu suddenly turned his head, and Chu Mingyun paused as he approached.

"To be honest," Su Shiyu looked at him, he was slightly taken aback, and replied, "Huh?"

"Su can't remember the last time he was able to communicate with you normally."

"..."

Su Shiyu turned his head and looked at the old wooden coffin half buried in the soil in front of him. He pressed it up with one hand, and with a heavy force, he slowly pushed the coffin lid away. The hoarse friction sound was particularly creepy in the silence.Chu Mingyun frowned, stepped forward and looked at it.

There was no corpse in that coffin, not even a coffin bottom. Instead, there was a path of stone steps leading down gloomyly, as if going to the Underworld.The coffin is just a cover, and this is the entrance of the gambling house.

Chu Mingyun didn't hide his disgust and said: "It's not bad enough to enter this kind of place? Who would still be interested in gambling?"

"The noble people will naturally have other ways to enter, but we only bought a few gamblers, so we have to ask Mr. Chu to be wronged." Su Shiyu said, "It is precisely because of this that the governor of Jingzhao government has not seized this place for so long. The gambling house, otherwise, I am afraid that the government here has not been able to enter, and the other side has already escaped cleanly."

Chu Mingyun snorted inexplicably.

Su Shiyu turned off the fire, and was about to enter when he suddenly thought of something, "This road should be extremely dark, Master Chu will feel unwell?"

"What can I do if I feel unwell, are you going to drag me away?"

Chu Mingyun answered casually, but Su Shiyu stretched out his hand and lightly grasped his wrist.The moonlight was shining, and the bamboo shadows were mottled. Su Shiyu looked back and smiled at him, "Then let's go."

He couldn't answer for a while.

They stepped into the coffin and walked slowly down the stone steps. As expected, there was no light on the road, and their vision was filled with thick, indissoluble blackness.As they continued to move forward, the surrounding became more and more gloomy and cold, and the chill was sticking to the skin, as if it was about to seep into the skin. Chu Mingyun only felt that there was still a little warmth in his whole body, only the wrists, and the thin warmth coming through the sleeves. The warmth of a human palm.

No one spoke, only the sound of footsteps stepping on the stone steps.

I don't know how long I walked, but I just felt that the stone steps turned from bottom to top, and the road ahead seemed to be bright, and after walking dozens of steps, it suddenly became clear.

This place seems to be in the valley, the towering pavilions in front of you, with painted beams and carved eaves, are full of lights, as bright as day.

The servants in front of the Zhumen were all wearing masks. As soon as they saw Chu Mingyun and Su Shiyu approaching, someone trotted up to greet them, and handed over two white masks graciously, "You two, welcome to the Bliss Building! I wish you both Get promoted and get rich!"

The two people who could only usurp the throne if they were promoted again suddenly understood, no wonder the entrance looked like that, and only after entering the coffin can they enter bliss.

Chu Mingyun looked down at the exquisitely crafted mask in his hand, "What are you doing wearing this?"

"Not all the people who come here want to be known. Wearing a mask makes you feel more at ease." The servant said respectfully.

The mask was lowered to the forehead, covering most of the face, only the lower jaw was exposed.Chu Mingyun and Su Shiyu looked at each other, smiled in a low voice, and pushed the door open.

The rich aroma of wine mixed with the aroma of powder floated in the entire hall, the sound of money and silver colliding was crisp, and the voice of the singing girl was mixed in the din of shouting and cursing.As far as the eye could see, all the gambling tables were crowded with people, and the glamorous gambling prostitutes shuttled among them, and the atmosphere was lively.

"Huh?" Seeing what Su Shiyu opened his mouth, Chu Mingyun stretched out his hand to pull him closer to his ear: "What did you just say?"

Su Shiyu hesitated for a moment, but did not push him away, and said: "There is nothing to be seen in this game, we must find a way to meet the owner of the gambling shop."

"Master Su seems to have already made up his mind?"

"The reason why this place is attractive is that there is no taboo to gamble, and there is a more important point," Su Shiyu said, "Those gamblers say that there is a rule here, the person who wins the most in the field can go upstairs to gamble with the owner." With one hand, the winner can make a wish at will, and they will surely fulfill it."

"Arbitrarily mention it?" Chu Mingyun laughed mockingly.

Such arrogant words, I am afraid that even the current Holy Majesty would not speak easily.

Su Shiyu nodded, "That's why I think this place is weird, and it doesn't seem like a place to simply make money." After speaking, he looked at Chu Mingyun.

The two of them were a little too close, and they looked directly into each other's eyes.Chu Mingyun's eyes were bright, he was slightly stunned, and unconsciously backed away a little, creating a distance.

Chu Mingyun caught his gaze and seemed to understand why Su Shiyu said he wanted to ask him for help, so he asked, "You know how to gamble?"

"Of course it doesn't make sense," Su Shiyu smiled, "If you bet on big bets, you can still give it a try, but the most played gambling tables in this hall are Pai Gow, so I can't do anything about it."

Chu Mingyun smiled: "Coincidentally, I don't know how to gamble."

Su Shiyu turned his head and looked straight at Chu Mingyun, and he could clearly feel his deep surprise through the mask.

"..." Chu Mingyun looked at him, "Am I so like an ignorant, extravagant and lustful person?"

Su Shiyu silently withdrew his gaze and smiled, "How could that be?"

Chu Mingyun raised his brows and said coolly: "I am also a soldier, and the military discipline is strict in the army. No matter what kind of person I am, I always have to lead by example in this respect."

"...I'm sorry." Su Shiyu paused, and rarely hesitated, "Since this is the case, do you want to go back and make a long-term plan?"

"It's all here." Chu Mingyun looked at the biggest gambling table in the center of the hall. There was a crowd of people there, and a hill of chips could be vaguely seen on the table. Serve with tea.Among them was a young man in purple shirt who was particularly conspicuous. He was covered in a dazzling array of exquisite accessories. He was shaking a golden lacquer fan with jade bones in his hand and threw two black dominoes. The frivolity in his gestures could be seen from a distance of several feet. It's a pie, and it's so ostentatious.

Chu Mingyun looked carefully for a moment, then suddenly said: "...Why does that dude look familiar?"

Su Shiyu followed his line of sight to look over, thought for a moment and said: "This body... should be Xu Tong, the only son of Xu Yin, the Minister of the Ministry of War of the Chu Party."

Some dude's clothes are always more recognizable than their faces. After all, masks can't stop the majestic prodigal spirit.

But Chu Mingyun didn't care about this, "Why did you specifically call it the Chu Party?"

"It's just to make it easier for Master Chu to remember this person." Su Shiyu said plainly.

Chu Mingyun didn't care about him, stared at the gambling table for a while, then smiled, "If this gambling house is really weird, then I have a way to try, but I don't know if Mr. Su will be wronged and cooperate. one time?"

"But it doesn't matter."

Chu Mingyun leaned into his ear and whispered a few words, Su Shiyu's eyes moved slightly, and then he smiled lightly: "It's not difficult."

"Don't regret it."

"Then please trouble Master Chu." Su Shiyu glanced around, and the two of them stood and talked for a long time. Although the position was not conspicuous, they always attracted some probing eyes.He took a step back and raised his voice slightly, "Don't worry, my lord, I will naturally not tell others that you have been here."

Chu Mingyun glanced at him with a smile, "It's not in vain to hurt you." He stepped up and walked to the gambling table in the center.

Here Xu Tong happened to win, and the servant behind him hurriedly brought over a lot of chips from Canjin. He was triumphant, and those who lost were not only not annoyed, but flattered them:

"Master Xu is really lucky today!"

"It's not just today, what time in these days is it not a winning streak? Let me see, it won't be long before I will be invited to a game with this master."

"That's up to you to say? Young Master Xu, have you made up your mind to make a wish? If you get promoted and get rich, don't forget our brothers..."

Xu Tong waved his hand, "Just have fun, what wish do you want? What's the point of being promoted and getting rich? Even now, I have seen the emperor's pleasure expenses a few times, but this is nothing compared to us being carefree."

Chu Mingyun couldn't hold back a sneer.

It happened that no one had answered Xu Tong's words at this time, and after a little silence, Chu Mingyun's sneer became very clear.

Xu Tong frowned, and immediately looked over in displeasure, and the others also turned their attention to him.
