I am a prince in Zhutian Films

Chapter 182 Thousand Gold Platform

Apocalypse City.

Jixia Academy.

Lei Mengsha taught Baili Dongjun a set of basic Leimen internal breathing skills and then returned to his house.

As soon as I entered the yard, I saw my daughter waving a wooden sword. Her movements seemed casual, but they contained some exquisite sword moves.

Perhaps because he had never formally learned swordsmanship, his posture was not standard, but his sword moves had obviously become a system.

Of course, this is not important. What is important is that the swordsmanship my daughter uses is not the same as Jian Xinzhong's, and it is obviously much more sophisticated than Jian Xinzhong's.

So the question is, where did my daughter's sword skills come from?
Just when Lei Mengsha was puzzled, a voice sounded behind him.

"When did you come back?"

Lei Mengsha, who was squatting on the ground, stood up suddenly, showing a bright smile, turned around and replied: "Madam, I just returned to Tianqi today and sent Baili Dongjun to the academy. I came back without stopping."

"is it?"

Lei Mengsha was frightened instantly, and knelt down without hesitation, and confessed honestly: "I came back three days ago, but I swear, I didn't go out to mess around, I have been teaching Baili Dongjun Kung Fu in the school."

Li Xinyue hummed without saying anything, then turned to look at her daughter who was practicing sword skills seriously in the courtyard.

Lei Mengsha breathed a sigh of relief, got up from the ground, and asked in confusion: "The swordsmanship our daughter practices is not the swordsmanship of Jianxin Tomb, right? Madam, have you found a master for her?"

Li Xinyue nodded, then shook her head: "It is indeed not Jian Xinzhong's swordsmanship. I did not find a master for her. It was your friend who passed it on to her. In addition to the swordsmanship secrets, there is also a sword that is higher in rank than my Heart Sword. The sword is called Frost."

"What? The grade is actually higher than the Heart Sword?!" Lei Mengsha was shocked. The Heart Sword was ranked fourth on the sword list, and its grade was higher than that of the Heart Sword, which was only ranked among the top three swords on the famous sword list. But he clearly remembered that there was no sword called Frost among the top three swords on the famous sword list.

As if she had guessed Lei Mengsha's thoughts, Li Xinyue shook her head and said, "It's not a famous sword in the famous sword manual. Also, the Frost Sky Sword Technique that your friend taught his daughter is not simple either. You should be able to see that it is much more sophisticated than my Heart Sword Technique. It's called Frost Sky Sword Technique, and it's a sword technique I've never heard of before."

"Wait a minute, how come I didn't know I had such a wealthy friend." Lei Mengsha was a little confused.

"Isn't the young master of the Yuelu Chu family your friend?"

Without waiting for Lei Mengsha to speak, Li Xinyue sighed again: "The one who made the move was using a peerless sword and superb swordsmanship. The Yuelu Chu family is indeed very rich, and the young master of the Chu family is no ordinary person!"

"Are you saying that it was Chu Zhao who gave Han Yi the swordsmanship and the famous sword?!" Lei Mengsha's face was full of surprise.

"Your friend, you don't know?"

"I really do not know."

Lei Mengsha smiled bitterly, and then said: "I'll go ask him."

"Well, invite him to your home and thank him."

So, Lei Mengsha had just returned home and hadn't even sat down yet before he went out again.

Apocalypse City is not small, and it is not easy to find someone.

However, Chu Zhao's appearance was so outstanding, and he was also very famous. As soon as he entered Tianqi City, he caused a big fuss in Diaolou Cottage, attracting attention from all sides. Naturally, the inn he stayed in was no secret.

Unfortunately, when Lei Mengsha arrived at the inn, Chu Zhao had already left.

He did not go directly to Qianjintai to find his sister Chu Ai. Instead, he first went to Yuelu City's property in Tianqi City, mobilized all the funds and exchanged them for silver bills, and then went to Qianjintai with a huge sum of one million.

As for why we need to mobilize funds?

This brings us to the market opened by Qianjintai.

As the largest gambling house in the world... or more precisely, in Apocalypse City, Qianjintai would definitely not miss the opportunity to make money and gain fame through the school entrance examination.

When Chu Zhao just entered Tianqi City, Qianjintai opened a betting platform for who would be able to be admitted to the academy and become a disciple of Mr. Li this year.

Among them is Chu Zhao's odds. Unfortunately, because of what happened in Diao Lou Xiao Zhu a few days ago, almost everyone knows that he is valued by Mr. Li in the academy, so his odds are very low.

Of course, on the other hand, his odds were also very high, but it was a pity that he could not bet on himself. More importantly, even if he bet against himself, he would not be as good as Baili Dongjun.

From the initial ratio of one to one, it has now developed to one to ten.

This is simply money you picked up for nothing. Don’t take it for nothing.

In Qianjintai, the graceful Mr. Tu sat in a private room on the second floor, waving a small folding fan, looking at the nearly crazy gamblers downstairs, and said with a smile: "Is the young man brought back by the young master from the school really so eye-opening?"

"Yes, it is said that even the disciples from the outer courtyard can be teased at will." The servant next to him replied.

Uncle Tu nodded: "So why would you choose such a person, young master?"

The attendant hesitated: "Hide your strength?"

Uncle Tu smiled and asked, "Where's the Second Master?"

"Go...listen to some music." The servant looked embarrassed.

"What a waste."

Uncle Tu shook his head and waved his folding fan leisurely: "Try to find out where the young man brought by the young master is..."

Before he uttered the word "Li", Uncle Tu, who had been leisurely strolling, suddenly stood up.

The servant followed Master Tu's gaze and saw a handsome young man slowly walking in.

The attendant's heart trembled, and he couldn't help but mutter, "What happened to this evil star?"

That’s right, in the eyes of all kinds of people in Tianqi City, Chu Zhao is an absolute evil star, a star that can easily take people’s lives.

After all, the tragic scene of Teacher Xie in Diaolou Xiaozhu a few days ago is still vivid in our minds. If it weren't for Mr. Li from the school who took action, I'm afraid the person would have been buried long ago.

The key is that he is very powerful and is said to be a master of the Free and Easy Heaven Realm.

Not easy to mess with!

What the attendants knew, Uncle Tu naturally knew as well.

Uncle Tu walked downstairs quickly, smiling from a distance, and said with a fist: "Young Master Chu, I have heard of you for a long time!"

"Uncle Tu, you are polite."

Uncle Tu waved his hands hurriedly and said, "Young Master Chu, you are so embarrassed. What master? It's all because of the brothers who are flattering me. Young Master Chu, please don't ridicule me. I wonder what Young Master Chu is here for today?"

"Of course we come to Qianjintai to gamble."

Chu Zhao took out the banknote and handed it to Uncle Tu, saying with a smile: "I heard that Uncle Tu has opened a betting market for the school exam. I'll place a bet and play a few games at the same time."

"Young Master Chu, we don't allow people to detain ourselves here." Uncle Tu smiled bitterly.

As the head of Qianjintai, although he had inherited the family business not long ago and was not very old, his eyes were extraordinary. He could not only judge people but also money. He could tell at a glance how much money Chu Zhao had in his hand. They were all silver notes with the largest denomination of ten thousand taels, which was about one million.

However, now everyone knows that Mr. Li from the school is eager to accept Chu Zhao as his disciple. If Chu Zhao bets that he cannot become Mr. Li's disciple, the loss of Qianjintai will be great.

Chu Zhao nodded and smiled, "I asked about it before I came here, so Uncle Tu doesn't have to worry. I'm not betting on myself, I'm betting on the young master's choice. I bet that he can become Mr. Li's disciple."

No one knows Baili Dongjun’s name yet, so we will temporarily use the five words chosen by the young master as a substitute.

Mr. Tu was stunned, took the banknote and handed it to the attendant beside him, then lowered his voice and said, "Young Master Chu, can we move over and have a chat?"

Chu Zhao nodded: "Lead the way."

"Young Master Chu, please!"

"please."

Following Uncle Tu to the private room on the second floor, after a round of polite exchanges, the two sides began to address each other as Brother Chu and Brother Tu.

Seeing that the relationship was almost established, Uncle Tu went straight to the point and said, "Brother Chu, do you know anything about the person that the young master brought back?"

"Yes, I can tell you, but I have a condition."

Uncle Tu poured a glass of wine for Chu Zhao: "Brother Chu, please speak."

"I plan to open a gambling house in Yuelu City. I heard that there is a good gambling house named Chu Yan in your Qianjintai. I wonder if Brother Tu would like to give him up?"

I thought Chu Zhao would propose some unacceptable conditions, but he just wanted a Nang family?!

As for Chu Yan, he also knew it.

She is a girl from a ordinary family. The only thing worth praising about her is that she is good at gambling and is also well-known in their Qianjintai.

But it's just good. Qianjin Taichung is much better at gambling than her.

Uncle Tu asked in a daze, "That's it?" "The man Xiao Ruofeng brought back is also a big shot in Beili. It's not difficult to check his identity. It won't take long for Brother Tu to find out. I think it's not a loss to exchange his identity for a talent."

"I agreed."

Chu Zhao laughed: "Brother Tu, you are so straightforward. That person is called Baili Dongjun."

"The young master of the Zhenxi Marquis's Mansion?!" Uncle Tu said in astonishment.

Chu Zhao nodded: "I think Brother Tu also knows why Baili Dongjun came to Tianqi. He will definitely enter the school."

Uncle Tu nodded in agreement, and then changed the subject: "However, even if Young Master Baili can enter the school, he may not be able to become Mr. Li's disciple."

Chu Zhao shook his head: "Mr. Li will accept him as his disciple, otherwise I wouldn't dare to place a heavy bet on him."

"Will Brother Chu take Mr. Li as his master?" Uncle Tu asked curiously.

"will not."

Perhaps he didn't expect that there would be people in the world who were unwilling to take Mr. Li as their master. Uncle Tu was stunned for a moment: "Brother Chu, tell me the truth, you really won't take Mr. Li as your master?"

"will not!"

Uncle Tu smiled and said, "Brother Chu is also a straightforward person. All your expenses at Qianjintai today will be charged to me."

"Thank you very much, brother."

"You and I are brothers, there's no need to be polite."

Uncle Tu laughed and waved his hand, shouting to the outside: "Xiao Jiu, take Young Master Chu to Hongyun Pavilion and tell Chu Yan that she will belong to my brother Chu from now on."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the private room was pushed open from the outside.

A handsome young man, dressed casually, stood at the door and bowed, saying, "Young Master Chu, please follow me."

"Excuse me!"

There is a gambling house downstairs in Qianjintai, and some elegant rooms upstairs. However, the sounds coming from some of the rooms... are not very elegant.

"Pandering in broad daylight, you beast!"

Chu Zhao cursed inwardly, he suddenly missed Yue Yao.

Following the young man named Xiaojiu, we walked through the corridor on the second floor and went downstairs to a unique attic with three big words written on the doorplate - Hongyun Pavilion.

"Young Master Chu, please come in!" Xiao Jiu stepped forward and pushed open the door.

There were only two people in the room, two women.

A woman was standing with her back to the door, drinking from a wine gourd. She was wearing a white robe with the word "赌" (gamble) written in a flamboyant style, which was very eye-catching.

The other one was facing the door, wearing a plain skirt, with an ordinary appearance, and was shaking the dice cup with his hand raised.

Hearing the door open, she looked up, and was stunned at first sight. The dice cup in her hand fell to the ground, and the dice rolled all over the table.

Seeing this, the woman with the word "gamble" on her back turned around and showed a look of surprise on her face: "Mr. Chu?!"

Chu Zhao smiled faintly: "Miss Yin."

"I didn't expect to meet you here. We are destined to meet each other."

Yin Luoxia smiled a little embarrassedly, her face felt a little hot, and she felt a little nervous at the same time.

——Damn it, how come we met at the Qianjintai gambling table? He wouldn’t think I’m a gambler, would he? I’m still drinking, damn it, damn it…

Chu Zhao naturally didn't know what Yin Luoxia was thinking, and because Yin Luoxia had drunk alcohol, he didn't notice that she was blushing, so he smiled naturally and said, "It's quite predestined."

It didn't look like she was disgusted with him. Yin Luoxia smiled and asked, "Why are you here, Mr. Chu?"

"I'm here to pick someone up."

"Pick someone up?"

Chu Zhao nodded, looked at the ordinary-looking woman, and said with a smile: "I'm here to pick her up."

The young man named Xiao Jiu took over the conversation and said, "Chu Yan, you will belong to Young Master Chu from now on."

Chu Yan… No, it should be Chu Ying, who also came back to his senses at this time, and asked in confusion: "Brother Xiaojiu, why did I follow him?"

"This is Uncle Tu's order."

Chu Yi nodded: "What about my indenture?"

"Someone will bring it over later."

"And monthly salary."

"Send them together."

"Then I have no problem."

Xiao Jiu nodded, looked at Chu Zhao, and said respectfully: "Young Master Chu, do you want to play a few rounds here, or go somewhere else to have fun?"

"Let's play here for a few rounds. When you guys send me the indenture, I'll go play somewhere else."

"Then please wait for a moment, Young Master Chu."

Xiao Jiu saluted, stood up and ordered: "Chu Yan, take good care of Young Master Chu."

"Don't worry, Brother Xiaojiu, I will definitely take care of my future young master."

Chu Zhao: "..."

Walking to the gambling table and sitting down, picking up the dice and dice cup on the table, Chu Zhao asked Yin Luoxia next to him.

"Play two?"

"You like gambling too?" Yin Luoxia was delighted.

Chu Zhao shook his head and smiled, "I can't say I like it. I just have nothing to do, so I just play a few rounds. I don't gamble."

"Then play two rounds."

Gambling is harmful to people. Chu Zhao has never participated in gambling in his past or present life.

On the other hand, Yin Luoxia, the daughter of gambling king Yin Shunshui, naturally has excellent gambling skills.

As expected, Chu Zhao lost badly, losing nine games in a row.

When the system skill "Nine Out of Ten Gambling Losses" was about to be triggered, Xiaojiu came back with the indenture and monthly salary.

Besides him, there was another person dressed as a guard.

"Mr. Chu, my master wants to see you."

The guard's attitude was very arrogant, but Chu Zhao smiled: "Do you want to die?"

Before he finished speaking, the people present saw a flash before their eyes and Chu Zhao had already flashed in front of the guard. With lightning speed, he grabbed the guard's neck with one hand and lifted him up like a chick.

Feeling the threat of death, the guard was horrified and opened his mouth to beg for mercy, but Chu Zhao increased his force, making all his words stuck in his throat, his face flushed red.

No one expected that Chu Zhao would actually take action directly. Everyone present was dumbfounded. By the time they reacted, the guards in Chu Zhao's hands had turned pale and their eyes were bloodshot.

Xiao Jiu hurriedly said: "Master Chu, can you please give us Qianjintai some face? If he dies, we will be in big trouble."

"Give Brother Tu some face today."

Chu Zhao threw the man in his hand away like a rag and said, "The life and death of a dog can cause trouble for Qianjintai. His master's identity must be not simple, right?"

"Thank you, Young Master Chu." Xiao Jiu bowed and thanked him, then replied, "He is the personal guard of His Royal Highness Prince Qing."

Xiao Xie?

Chu Zhao was stunned: "I don't know Xiao Xie at all, what does he want from me?"

"This... villain doesn't know."

"Lead the way. I'm going to meet His Royal Highness the Green King."
