Chapter 1318: Chapter 1117: Rolling the Dice_1 Chapter 1318: Chapter 1117: Rolling the Dice_1 Qiao Xiaomai didn’t know the answer, she focused her mind and followed Shopkeeper Hong into the Gambling House.
There was a clerk standing at the entrance of the Gambling House, who quickly came forward to greet them when he saw them enter, “Gentlemen, what would you like to play?”
“I’m looking for Lord Tong Sanlang.” Shopkeeper Hong said.
“This way, please.” The clerk hurriedly led Shopkeeper Hong and his group upstairs.
As they walked, Shopkeeper Hong asked, “What’s the situation now? Is the Prime Minister here?”
“The Prime Minister is here, Lord Tong has played all sorts of games already, he’s currently shaking the dice.” the clerk replied.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai couldn’t help but ask, “So, has he won or lost?”
“He won a bit earlier, but now I don’t know.”
“Won a bit?”
“Won about several hundred thousand taels of silver, he was just taking a break, don’t know if he has started again.” The clerk said.
The figure of several hundred thousand taels made Qiao Xiaomai unconsciously raise an eyebrow. Yang Ye also couldn’t help but click his tongue, “Not bad luck.”
“I heard when you first gamble, luck is usually not bad.” Qiao Xiaomai said.
Yang Ye nodded noncommittally, “Then we’ll wait for the dice shake.”
The second floor was for Private Rooms, and the clerk led Qiao Xiaomai and her companions to the door of the largest Private Room, saying respectfully, “Boss, Shopkeeper Hong from the Extreme Flavor Residence is here.”
“Come in.” A hoarse voice came from inside.
Hearing this, the clerk pushed open the door to the Private Room and gestured, “Please come in.”
Shopkeeper Hong quickly stepped aside to indicate for Yang Ye to enter first.
Yang Ye wrapped an arm around Yang Zheng’s shoulder and upon getting a clear view of the people inside the Private Room, he let out a sound of acknowledgment and said with a smile, “Quite a crowd we have here.”
Not only was Yu Ang there, but Yu Ang’s grandson, Yu Zizhou, was also there, as well as Wu Yuanxian’s son, Wu Yancai, and several other young masters–all were scions of Aristocratic Families without any proper occupation to their names, easily more than a dozen in number.
The people inside quickly recognized him and Yang Zheng and hurriedly stood up to pay their respects, “We greet Your Highness Prince Wei, we greet Prince Zheng.”
“Rise.” Yang Ye scanned the room, his gaze landing on Wu Yancai, “Master Wu came in person?”
Wu Yancai quickly responded, “Yes, I wasn’t aware Your Highness and Prince Zheng would honor us with your presence, please forgive my lack of proper welcome.”
Laughing at his response, Yang Ye’s phoenix eyes bent into a pleasant shape, “Of course, a big deal involving millions of taels of silver requires personal attention. I’ve heard from the clerk that Sanlang has already won several hundred thousand taels?”
“Yes.” Wu Yancai answered.
“So, are you taking a break right now?” Yang Ye said, his gaze shifting to Tong Sanlang.
“About to start.” Tong Sanlang spoke up.
“Then begin, win more. Miss Qiao is personally here for the gambling debt of ten million, even if she were the reincarnation of the Wealth God, she couldn’t produce that amount.” Yang Ye motioned for Qiao Xiaomai to step forward.
Qiao Xiaomai’s face was stoic as she looked at Tong Sanlang, not saying a word.
Tong Sanlang was clearly exhausted from not sleeping for two days, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked somewhat worn out, but his spirit was still good.
Looking down slightly, she saw a teacup being held by Tong Sanlang. Walking over, she picked up the teacup.
The cup was half-filled with clear water. In front of everyone, she replaced the tea with Spiritual Spring water, a small action that went unnoticed by all, “Drink up.” She held the teacup to Tong Sanlang’s mouth.
Tong Sanlang pursed his lips, took the cup, and drank it all.
The cooling and sweet taste of the Spiritual Spring water relieved some of his fatigue instantly, he set down the teacup with a somewhat guilty gesture pointing to a chair beside him, “Take a seat and rest.”
“No need, how is the game?” Qiao Xiaomai asked.
“Guessing big and small.”
“Who’s shaking the dice?” Qiao Xiaomai asked.
“Naturally, it’s the Gambling House’s people shaking.”
Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiaomai let out a long “Oh,” then said, “Then let’s begin.”
