White tea legend

Chapter 247 Gambling

In a corner of the earth, dark clouds gathered and the cold wind was howling.

The Third Prince of Long held a dragon whip, which was woven from dragon scales and flashed with cold light. He stood in front of Yao Ziyi's ghost, without a trace of emotion in his eyes. Every time he swung the whip, it was like thunder, and the sharp sound of the whip breaking through the air rang in the air.

With a "snap!" sound, the dragon whip lashed fiercely on Yao Ziyi's transparent body, causing him to twist in pain and scream silently. Although he had no flesh and blood, every whipping made his soul tremble, and he almost dissipated in this dark land.

Yao Ziyi was obviously frightened after being beaten. His face showed an expression of pain and fear, and his eyes were full of panic. His body was shaking slightly, as if he was trying to endure the pain.

"Please, stop hitting me!" Yao Ziyi's voice was choked with sobs, and tears were flashing in his eyes. He stretched out his hand, trying to block the dragon whip that was swinging again.

"I was wrong, I really know I was wrong! Please let me go!" Yao Ziyi's voice became smaller and smaller, and his body began to slowly decline. It was obvious that he could no longer support himself.

On the side, Jin Buhuan was so scared that he turned into a turtle and retracted his head into his shell. His limbs were shaking, and his eyes were tightly closed. He didn't dare to watch Yao Ziyi being beaten. His heart was filled with fear and sympathy, but he was powerless to stop what was happening before his eyes.

The Third Prince Long was finally tired of beating the turtle, so he put away his dragon whip and kicked the golden turtle on the ground.

The kick was so powerful that it kicked the golden turtle far away, through the clouds and time and space, and when it finally landed on the ground, it was already in Chang'an City.

The golden tortoise transformed into a human form, becoming a handsome young man. He stood on the bustling streets of Chang'an City, looking around, full of curiosity about the world.

Ever since Jin Buhuan followed Prince Long San to Chang'an City, he felt that the prosperity and bustle here were extraordinary and could not be compared with Changxi County in southeastern Fujian.

They also opened a store on Zhuque Street, which is in an excellent location, opposite the "Gu Yulin" tea shop.

They hired skilled craftsmen to decorate the store magnificently, and invited a famous chef to open a tavern.

The storefront is a tavern, but there is a lot going on underground, with a large gambling house set up.

Although this casino is located underground, it is magnificently decorated and equipped with all kinds of gambling equipment. The casino has invited experienced dealers from Chang'an City and masters who are proficient in gambling techniques to show off their skills here.

The night in Chang'an City is gentle and deep, as if it can swallow up all secrets.

In this bustling city, the Third Prince Long and Jin Buhuan's gambling house are like a bright pearl hidden underground, attracting nocturnal moths to come and fly into the fire.

Yao Si Niang's two brothers, Yao Ziling and Yao Ziyuan, also failed to resist the temptation. They accidentally stepped into a gambling house and fell into a bottomless abyss, unable to extricate themselves.

Inside the casino, the lights were on and the crowds were bustling. The croupiers' shouts and the gamblers' noises intertwined to form a unique nocturne.

Yao Ziling and Yao Ziyuan shuttled through the crowd, greed flashing in their eyes, and the chips in their hands seemed to be everything to them.

However, good luck does not seem to be with them all the time. As time goes by, they lose more and more, and the gambling debts they owe are like a mountain, which makes them almost breathless.

In desperation, they thought of an extreme solution - stealing money from their sister Yao Si Niang's "Gu Yu Lin" tea shop.

Thanks to the capable management of Yao Si Niang and Zhuo Lao San, "Gu Yu Lin" does a booming business every day and naturally makes a lot of money.

Yao Ziling and Yao Ziyuan carefully designed a false account in an attempt to transfer the tea shop's money into their own hands without anyone noticing.

However, things did not go as they wished. Their plan was soon discovered by Zhuo Laosan and Yunniang. Zhuo Laosan was the owner of the tea shop, upright and loyal to the tea shop; while Yunniang was young but smart and had already become independent under the training of her aunt Yao Si Niang.

They discovered the abnormal behavior of Yao Ziling and Yao Ziyuan and began to investigate secretly.

By chance, they discovered the secret of Yao Ziling and Yao Ziyuan. They were shocked and decided to tell Yao Si Niang about it.

Yao Ziling and Yao Ziyuan would not sit still and wait for death, so there were scenes of kidnapping and selling...

After successfully rescuing Zhuo Lao San and Yun Niang, Yao Si Niang was furious at the actions of her two brothers. She couldn't believe that her brothers would do such a thing.

After a fierce ideological struggle, Yao Si Niang decided to sacrifice her own brothers for the greater good. She went to Jingzhao Prefecture in person and told Pei Zhaoyin everything about her two brothers' actions.

After hearing about this, Pei Zhaoyin immediately sent people to arrest Yao Ziling and Yao Ziyuan.

During the interrogation, Yao Ziling and Yao Ziyuan could not deny their crimes and could only bow their heads and confess. They were imprisoned in the Jingzhao Prefecture, awaiting the punishment of the law.

Prince Long San was actually an evil god. He brought Jingui to Beijing to help Jingui destroy Niangzi Yao Si and Zhuo Lao San, and to help Jingui marry Niangzi Yao Si.

Don't think that the Third Prince Long has any good intentions. He is just purely bored and wants to stir up chaos in the world.

He was driven out of the Dragon Palace by his aunt, the Dragon Girl, because of Bai Cha, and he was holding a grudge against her. Yao Si Niang and Zhuo Lao San were both disciples of Lu Yu and Bai Cha. He could not let them live in peace, and could not let them make their tea business strong and bigger in Chang'an City.

He wants to destroy.

It is much more interesting to plant two bad apples in the "Gu Yulin" tea shop to disturb Miss Yao Si and Zhuo Lao San than to do it yourself.

So, the Third Prince Long went to Youdu and intercepted the soul of Yao Ziyi who was about to be reincarnated. He asked him to send a dream to Zhang, asking Zhang to persuade Madam Yao Si to give up pursuing the responsibility of Yao Ziling and Yao Ziyuan. If the plan failed, the Third Prince Long would not let Yao Ziyi be reincarnated into a good family, and would make him be a cow, a horse, or a pig in his next life.

Zhang's lobbying failed, so the Third Prince Long took out his anger on Yao Ziyi and whipped Yao Ziyi's ghost with a dragon whip. Yao Ziyi was almost scared to death.

When the ghost found Yao Ziyi's soul, his soul was already incomplete and if he was reborn as a human, he would only be a fool.

One day, Zhang saw a beggar on the street, only five or six years old, with a runny nose, a silly smile, and holding a broken bowl to beg, so she threw a few Kaiyuan Tongbao coins to show her magnanimity and benevolence. This is a later story.

Jin Buhuan was standing in front of his own tavern, looking envious at the "Gu Yulin" tea shop across the street.

The person Jin Buhuan envied was Zhuo Laosan.

Inside the "Gu Yu Lin" tea shop, Zhuo Lao San and Yao Si Niangzi were sorting the white tea on the shelves together. Their movements were tacit and coordinated, as if they had practiced it thousands of times.

Zhuo Laosan picked up a box of white tea and gently opened it. A fresh fragrance wafted into his nose. He took a deep breath and a satisfied smile appeared on his face. He carefully took out some tea leaves and put them in his palm to observe them carefully. The tea leaves were as slender and upright as silver needles, emitting a faint luster.

"These white teas are really top-quality teas." Zhuo Laosan exclaimed.

Upon hearing this, Lady Yao Si came over to take a closer look and could not help but exclaim in admiration, "Indeed, these tea leaves are of excellent quality, and the tea brewed from them must be sweet and delicious."

As she spoke, Miss Yao Si picked up a teacup, put it to her nose and sniffed it gently, then said: "This teacup is also a masterpiece of a famous artist, and it goes perfectly with these white teas."

Zhuo Laosan nodded, put the tea leaves into the teacup, then took the hot water from the pot and slowly poured it into the teacup. The tea leaves stretched out in the water like a blooming flower. The hot water and tea leaves blended with each other, exuding a fresh fragrance.

"Come and taste this tea and see how it tastes," invited Zhuo Laosan.

Lady Yao Si smiled slightly, took the teacup, and sipped gently. She closed her eyes and savored the tea aroma in her mouth. After a moment, she opened her eyes and showed a satisfied smile on her face: "This tea tastes really good, refreshing and pleasant, with a long aftertaste."

The two smiled at each other and continued to sort the tea leaves on the shelf. They cooperated very well, as if they had become one. In this small tea shop, they jointly run the business and protect each other's happiness.

When Jin Buhuan was watching that scene, four words popped up in his mind: The husband sings and the wife follows!
At some point, the Third Prince Long appeared behind Jin Buhuan and pulled Jin Buhuan into the restaurant.

At this time, there were no customers in the restaurant, but the underground gambling house was packed with people.

……

The night of Chang'an City gradually deepened, and the stars twinkled, as if adding a bit of mystery and romance to this prosperous capital. However, on this beautiful night, the most lively place in Chang'an City was not the brightly lit restaurant, but the gambling house hidden underground.

Prince Long San pulled Jin Buhuan through a dark corridor and came to the entrance of the gambling house.

Two burly bodyguards stood at the door, looking expressionlessly at everyone who entered the casino. Only those who met the requirements were eligible to enter the casino.

Once you enter the casino, you will be shocked by the scene in front of you. The space here is spacious and luxuriously decorated. The golden lights are reflected on each gambling table, making the whole casino full of a rich atmosphere. The casino is bustling with people of all kinds, some of them are dressed gorgeously, some look excited, and everyone has his or her own purpose and expectation.

In the center of the casino is a huge baccarat table surrounded by gamblers. The dealer, wearing a red uniform, shuffles the cards skillfully, attracting everyone's attention every time he deals the cards. The gamblers stare at the cards in their hands nervously, their heartbeats speeding up, as if the whole world has stopped at this moment.

The dice table not far away was also very lively. A petite woman was concentrating on rolling the dice, her brows were furrowed, her lips were moving slightly, as if she was silently praying for good luck. The gamblers around her were staring at the points on the dice, cheering and sighing one after another.

In addition to these common gambling items, the casino also has some special gambling tables.

The most eye-catching one is a role-playing table. Gamblers can play various roles and decide the winner by rolling the dice. This novel gambling method has attracted the favor of many young gamblers.

In the corner of the casino, there is a quiet area - the VIP room. It provides a private and comfortable environment for those gamblers with distinguished status and strong financial resources. The VIP room is luxuriously and elegantly decorated, and the waiters are respectful and polite, providing personalized services to each VIP.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the casino was lively and the gamblers were becoming more and more excited.

Some people are ecstatic to win huge fortunes, while others are devastated to lose all their savings. Here, the flow of money is as turbulent as the tide, and people's greed and desires are released to the extreme.

However, behind this prosperity, there is also endless darkness and evil. Some people are addicted to gambling in pursuit of excitement; others are in dire straits because of huge gambling debts. The casino has become their life's entirety, and also the beginning of their nightmare.

"I'm in a bad mood, so let's have a gamble here." Prince Long San said to Jin Buhuan.

The Third Prince Long was wearing a long green gown with a jade belt around his waist, looking refined yet gorgeous.

It's a pity that such a beautiful person is an evil spirit.

"Your Highness, how about playing a round with me?"

The Third Prince Long looked up at Jin Buhuan, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he showed a playful smile: "Okay, then please teach me, Boss Jin."

Jin Buhuan walked to the gambling table and sat in the dealer's seat. He picked up a deck of Pai Gow and began to shuffle the cards. Each card was like a spirit tamed by him, dancing on his fingertips.

Prince Long San also sat down and prepared to start the gambling.

The gambling game started, Jin Buhuan and Long San Taizi fought back and forth, enjoying themselves. Jin Buhuan's luck seemed to be particularly good, he could get good cards every time, while Long San Taizi frequently lost. Jin Buhuan won more and more, and his mood became better and better, and the smile on his face was like a blooming flower, becoming more and more brilliant.

As he won more and more cards, Jin Buhuan became extremely excited. He felt as if he was surrounded by a powerful force, and his whole body became light and fluttery, as if he was about to fly. His heartbeat accelerated, his blood boiled, and everything in front of him became blurred.

At this moment, he had a wonderful illusion. He saw that the bet he won was no longer money and treasures, but Lady Yao Si. Lady Yao Si was wearing a red wedding dress, beautiful and charming. She smiled and walked towards Jin Buhuan and stretched out her hand.

Jin Buhuan stared at Miss Yao Si in a daze, his heart filled with excitement and joy. He reached out and held Miss Yao Si's hand tightly, and the two held a grand wedding in their hallucination. They worshiped in the hall, exchanged vows, and became husband and wife.

However, hallucinations are hallucinations after all. When Jin Buhuan woke up, he found himself still sitting at the gambling table, and Yao Si Niangzi was nowhere to be seen. He felt an inexplicable sense of loss in his heart. All this was just his fantasy.

This hallucination made Jin Buhuan miss Yao Si Niang even more deeply and felt heartbroken.
