Chapter 923.
The night covered the earth and the moon shone on the tall building.
The Spring Moon Building that stood on the banks of the Chunan River was undoubtedly one of the landmarks of Linjiang City.
Totaling as many as eight floors, the building far exceeded the height of the city wall, and one could easily overlook the entire city while standing in the building.
It was said that a total of nine hundred and ninety-nine seven-colored glazed lamps were hung on this pagoda-shaped tower, and whenever night fell, all the glazed lamps were lit up in turn, their light illuminating the surrounding three squares and four streets.
It could be seen from dozens of miles away!
Having come to the Linjiang tenure for some time now, Wang Dust had of course seen the landscape of Spring Moon Tower.
But the first time he climbed this prestigious tower, the feeling was exceptionally different.
It was truly worthy of being the Linjiang City’s premier gold selling grotto!
The Spring Moon Mansion was a combination of a restaurant, a gin hall, and a gambling house, and not only was the d茅cor inside extremely luxurious, but it also had all sorts of entertainment programs, and even the most common maids were all very pretty.
Of course, the spending here is also top notch!
Despite this, the Spring Moon Restaurant was still full of luxurious customers night after night, with singing and dancing feasts until dawn.
Originally, in a place like the Spring Moon Restaurant, it would be almost impossible to have a free room without a prior engagement.
However, Old Qiu’s contacts in the city were very wide, and without the need for Wang Duan’s intervention, he directly found someone to charter the seventh floor of the Spring Moon Building.
The five Little Flags including Wang Duan, plus the thirty or so Blood Clothes Guards who had been invited, could be considered to be all in one place, encompassing most of the Linjiang Guards’ strength.
There were three big and four small tables on this floor, and the delicacies of the sea were served in turn, allowing the Blood Guards to feast and eat with great joy.
The strength of the weakest blood guards also have the strength of high-ranking warriors, third-ranking martial arts masters several, open to eat the amount of food is undoubtedly amazing.
Those accompanying Ji Maidens obviously had not seen so many big-bellied men who ate so indiscriminately, pouring wine until their hands were sore.
“Senior brother ……”
Old Qiu quietly pulled over Wang Chen and whispered, “This meal is not cheap, have you brought enough silver? I still have a few silver tickets here, you take them first.”
With the face of his Blood Clothes Guard’s Little Flag, the most he could do at Spring Moon House was to offer a discount, wanting free hospitality was categorically impossible.
Neither could Chief Flag Pang Tai.
This was because there was only one Spring Moon Building in Linjiang City, but there were hundreds of Spring Moon Buildings in the entire Great Liang, with very strong backgrounds.
“Don’t worry.”
Wang Dust laughed, “Eating and drinking is not a problem.”
He was not a fool, nor was he an ingrate, and had already inquired about the prices of the food and drinks earlier.
The consumption in this Spring Moon Building was high, but the main place to spend money was in the gambling house, on top of those clear herdsmen and red concubines, the price of the wine and food was not particularly expensive, and it was good value for money.
Old Qiu knows that Wang Duan has a family background, nodded and put down his heart.
Seeing the wine after three rounds, the table cups and plates in disarray, a group of blood-clothed guards all ate a round stomach and red face, Wang Dust instructed the maid to remove the remnants of the table, served to sober up the tea soup.
He clapped his hands, and a maid appeared with a silver tray.
In the tray were piles of chips.
Wang Chen got up and cupped his fists and said, “Brothers, we are in a hurry tonight, so please forgive us for any poor hospitality, and these chips will be given to you as a pastime.”
There is food, drink and play!
The openness of Wang Chen’s actions left those who were jealous speechless, and immediately someone said, “Ling is too polite, in the future, if you have any orders, just open your mouth, I’ll die without saying a word!”
“Yes, yes, yes, Team Leader Ling is magnificent!”
“I don’t think so!”
“Thank you, Team Leader!”
The Blood Clothes Guards returned the salute one after another, saying all sorts of beautiful things under their breath, and everyone had an excellent atmosphere of joy.
Many people had already realized that, despite Wang Chen’s young age, he was able to be promoted to the rank of Junior Flag, and I’m afraid that he relied on more than just the merits of killing the leader of the pagan cult.
This newly promoted Junior Flag’s way of dealing with people was not at all like a sixteen year old teenager.
As for a character like Wang Chen, as long as he doesn’t die in the middle of the journey, he definitely has a bright future ahead of him!
With the exception of a very few narrow-minded people, most of the Blood Clothes Guards were convinced by Wang Chuan’s atmosphere and did not dare to have the slightest bit of underestimation towards him.
They were also willing to make a good relationship with Wang Chen.
Soon, only Wang Chuan and the other four small flags remained in the large hall.
As we were all of the same rank, we didn’t have so many scruples in communicating with each other and talked freely about everything.
Wang Dust listened more and talked less, but also gained a lot of insight.
At this time, a team of female concubines appeared on the stage, singing and dancing to the accompaniment of musicians.
One of the leading dancers has a long figure, picturesque eyes and outstanding temperament, with bare feet and silver bells on her wrists, the bells ringing between the jumps, revealing a thrilling charm.
Everyone’s attention, coincidentally focused on her body.
For a moment, they forgot to talk.
“My lord, please drink tea.”
The female concubine who was snuggled at Wang Chen’s side had an affectionate brow and lifted the teapot to pour a cup of fragrant tea for Wang Chen.
“Uh-huh.”
Wang Chen picked up the cup of tea and was about to take a sip, but before his lips touched the rim of the cup, he suddenly felt something was very wrong!
There was no reason for it, it was completely intuitive.
And what made him feel strange was precisely the tea in this cup!
Wang Chen frowned and put down the teacup.
He twisted his head to look at the female concubine sitting next to him, a hint of coldness in his eyes.
This delicate female Ji blinked her eyes with an innocent and naive look, “My lord ……”
Before her words fell, Wang Chen glimpsed a flash of coldness suddenly coming from the corner of his eyes!
The hairs of sweat on his entire body stood up in unison!
While sitting on Wang Chen’s left and right, Old Qiu and the others could see clearly that the leading dancer was stretching her long sleeves, her body was graceful and her footsteps were light, and she swiftly approached Wang Chen, suddenly stretching out her slender hand towards the latter.
In her hand, she was holding a cold dagger!
As soon as she struck, the dancer’s speed steeply accelerated, and a stern killing aura instantly filled the hall.
Just in the nick of time, the female concubine sitting beside Wang Chuan followed suit, holding a silver slit in her left hand under the table, ruthlessly stabbing at Wang Chuan’s lower abdomen and dantian!
In an instant, Wang Chuan was faced with a double assassination!
But Wang Chen’s reaction was extremely fast, even though the crisis came extremely suddenly, he didn’t mess up, the right hand that had just put down the tea cup was violently lifted, instantly lifting up the table in front of him.
The flying board was just enough to block the dagger stabbing at him, and the hot water teapot on top of it smashed towards the dancer.
At the same time, Wang Chen’s left hand explored downwards and accurately grabbed the wrist of the female dancer beside him.
Ka-ching!
The latter’s wrist bone was crushed hard by Wang Chen.
He swept backward violently, and sounds of collision, shattering, screams, and exclamations followed in unison!
“There’s an assassin!”
Bang!
The dancing girl broke through the case and rushed towards Wang Dust, only to see a body crashing towards her head.
It was the female concubine beside Wang Chuan!
Wang Chuan grabbed the female concubine’s hand and swung her as a weapon at the dancing girl.
The latter was caught off guard and was immediately smashed, her delicate body flying backwards like a kite with broken strings.
“Bold!”
It was only at this time that Old Qiu and the others reacted, storming out to counterattack and support.
