“How can this small sum be enough?” Tang Yuan practically jumped up, his face crying as he begged. “Brother, Third Young Master, these are not even enough to cover a fraction of it! You are not trying to send me to my death are you? I am begging you, brother!”
“Fatty, didn’t you say earlier that as long as I appear, then your promissory note problem will be settled? We are going to gamble, not going to send them money! Young Master Tang, why do we want to take so much money with us? Wouldn’t it become a burdensome excess baggage? Don’t you have faith in my gambling skill that is unrivalled in the world?” Jun Xie replied.
“Your gambling skill that is unrivalled in the world?” A pair of thin eyes stared stupidly until it became round in surprise. This feat was no easy accomplishment for Tang Yuan’s fat face; it was no doubt a highly difficult manoeuvre. Tang Yuan’s mouth twitched, if it was not for the fact that his heart was currently filled with dread and depression, he would probably laughed out loud. He let out within his heart: Your so-called gambling skill that is unrivalled in the world… I do not seem to recall seeing you win before… Unless you are talking about the number of times you lost, then your claim of being unrivalled in the world might not be too far off.
No matter, as long as you go then everything will work out! As long as I can get back the promissory note, what do I have to fear? Son of a bitch! How did I lose my head to go so far as to pawn off my own wife? This matter is really too strange. Taking less money might be better, at least the losses will be limited!
Jun Xie placed the bills within his clothes, and then commanded two horses to be prepared. Tang Yuan had already become impatient; his pudgy body ‘rolled’ all the way to the door, his small eyes shuttled around everywhere, looking extremely frightened. “Hurry up, Third Young Master, if we are unlucky enough to bump into your grandpa while he is coming back, then it will all be over. You do not know about this, but every time I come visit your house, I have to endure a tremendous amount of pressure, sigh…”
Jun Xie laughed as he jumped atop the horse, looking over he said. “The way I see it, you don’t seem to be that scared today.”
The moment Tang Yuan jumped on top of his designated horse, he weighed down on the healthy horse causing it to neigh aloud. Its four hooves turned soft, almost bending down on to the ground. Putting in more strength, it was finally able to stand up. The horse may be wondering to itself: I have carried no small number of people. Even when carrying generals clad in full armor and weapon in hand, I can still run freely, but why do this person feel so heavy today? One miscalculation and I almost lost my front hoof!
Jun Xie could not restrain himself and laughed out; he then moved his own healthy horse forward. Behind him, eight bodyguards with sturdy bodies, carrying swords on their back followed.
Tang Yuan’s horse too started moving, but with difficulty. It neighed heavily as it caught up to them.
They went out to the Great Dongfeng Street, which was regarded as the most extravagant street in Tianxiang City. The street was bustling with activities and was filled with a steady stream of people; Tang Yuan did not spare any thoughts for the horse and rushed out, taking the lead. He rushed far ahead while constantly looking back, his face filled with worry, apparently fearing that Jun Xie was moving at too slow of a pace.
After turning out of the Great Dongfeng Street, there is a restaurant located not far to the north, known as the Thousand Mile Fragrance Restaurant. The Li Family runs this restaurant; behind the restaurant lies a large unused courtyard, this is the ‘Thousand Gold Hall’ mentioned by Tang Yuan. This secret area is the place for young masters of noble families to spend big money! In there, there are no limits to what they will bet for, as long as one can imagine it, one can bet on it!
Jun Xie was just about to steer his horse forward, when a few people suddenly appeared from the road side. In the lead was a young maiden, she was walking ahead sulkily and angrily shouted: “Stop following me! You’re annoying me to death!” The other person was trying to persuade her non-stop while chasing after her. Following closely behind the both of them, were eight bodyguards. She seemed like the daughter of a wealthy family.
Jun Xie took a brief glance at the young maiden, the young maiden was pouting, but was blessed with good looks. The young maiden who was already in a fit of anger noticed Jun Xie staring at her like that, took a deep breath and started cursing him: “What are you looking at? You lecher!” The young maiden was already feeling highly irritable. Seeing the notorious playboy, Jun Moxie who also happened to be staring at her, she suddenly decided to use him as an outlet for her anger.
