Chapter 400 The Second Prince

The soldier was breathing heavily, his neck was red, and his veins were pulsing.

Looking around the world, who would dare to speak to their Marquis like this!

Lu Mingfei didn't feel offended. He could see that the Dragon King in front of him had no other intentions. He simply thought he was good-looking, that's all.

Come to think of it, this is a person who has the ultimate pursuit of beauty, even to the point of being almost perverted.

"That, that, I'll tell you."

The Dragon King put on an innocent expression like a child.

He leaned forward, supported his chin with both hands, blinked his beautiful eyelashes, and looked at Lu Mingfei with his bright eyes.

"How do you usually take care of yourself?"

"Whose pearl powder did you use?"

"The cherry blossom mud I have here is pretty good, but it's a little troublesome. But if it's for you, it looks so good. I can smooth it out a little if you want."

The Dragon King kept talking and had endless things to say.

Lu Mingfei banged the folding fan.

"I never maintain it."

The Dragon King seemed to be choked.

He frowned at first, then curled his lips, and then he was still angry and couldn't hold it back. He pulled up his hair randomly with both hands, and didn't stop until his beautiful long hair was messed up and out of sight.

The soldiers were a little startled by the Dragon King's sudden move.

Lu Mingfei was indifferent and kept shaking his folding fan.

"call."

The Dragon King blew weakly. ,

He slumped down, like flowing mercury.

"It doesn't make sense! It doesn't make sense! It doesn't make sense!"

He pounded the table.

"Why do people like you exist?"

"You've taken advantage of everything good!"

"How can we people survive?"

Although the Dragon King sighed here, it did not affect his gambling at all. Seeing that the chips on Lao Liu's side were getting smaller and smaller, the Qianmen Commandery of Great Zhou had never encountered such a thing. He could not see the opposite side at all. What method did the dragon king use? He just felt as if he had hit a towering mountain, unattainable and reaching into the sky. No matter how ambitious he was, he made up his mind to conquer it, but in the end it was all in vain.

This was the first time that in the field of gambling, a feeling called despair arose in the hearts of the leaders of Qianmen.

Especially here, the Dragon King is still pulling Lu Mingfei to ask questions.

He was curious about everything about Dazhou.

The scenery of the south of the Yangtze River is full of warblers flying and grass growing, the mighty Yangtze River, and turbulent waves.

However, compared to the bloody battlefield, the Dragon King seemed to prefer listening to Lu Mingfei's stories about graceful Jiangnan. Holding an oil-paper umbrella, he walked on the stone road with blooming lilacs. The Dragon King's eyes were full of yearning, and he murmured He said, "That's great, that's great." ,

Lu Mingfei couldn't help but think again.

Is this really a man?

This is the final round.

The Dragon King lazily shook the dice and pressed the dice cup on the table nonchalantly. He did not open it first, but turned to look at Lu Mingfei.

"You're almost losing."

Lao Liu looked depressed and lowered his head to Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need to take it to heart.

"Um."

He said to the Dragon King.

"Almost lost, what next?"

"The Lord Marquis has come to my Paradise Forest. He must have something he wants to know."

"Tell me something."

"After all, Mr. Marquis, you are so good-looking. If it is not priceless news, I can make the decision and give it to Mr. Hou."

"Is there such a good thing?"

"That's natural."

The Dragon King nodded seriously.

"After all, good-looking people deserve preferential treatment from this world."

He said so seriously.

"Is not it?"

Lu Mingfei thought for a moment and nodded.

"Right."

He then talked about finding the second prince.

"Second Prince?"

Dragon King asked curiously.

"Why did the Marquis want him?"

"To be honest, my wife is..."

As he listened, the Dragon King's expression gradually changed.

He dropped his cynical smile.

Set your sights on distant places.

"That's right."

he said.

"Eriyi..."

Lu Mingfei frowned slightly. He felt that there seemed to be something abnormal about the other person at this moment.

But what's unusual?

"Boy!"

Lao Liu said rudely.

He was already blinded by the loss.

This constant frustration is overwhelming.

Lao Liu stared at the Dragon King.

"Don't be irritated!"

"Can't it be opened after all?"

The Dragon King came to his senses.

He glanced at Lao Liu and smiled.

Hao turned over his hand and put away the dice cup.

"not open."

Dragon King Guan didn't care about Lao Liu, who was obviously irritated.

He waved to Lu Mingfei.

"Master Hou, let's play a few games."

"If you win."

"I'll tell you where the second prince is."

"only……"

The Dragon King turned his eyes and smiled.

"If you lose, I will borrow the Marquis's mask to play with."

Lu Mingfei's movement of gently shaking the folding fan hesitated slightly.

No one in the world knows that the mask of the Champion Marquis cannot be touched. Except for the Champion Marquis' wife, everyone who has touched the bronze mask is dead.

The Dragon King in front of me is really bold.

"What, Lord Marquis?"

"Don't you dare?"

The Dragon King smiled.

There seems to be a scale invisibly. On this side of the scale is the bronze mask, which is the well-known champion Taboo. On the other side of the scale is the second prince, which is also the key to whether Eri Yi can survive.

Lu Mingfei smiled.

He took out the bronze mask and placed it on the gaming table.

"Follow me."

Lao Liu and the soldiers sat together nervously.

The girl played with the chips and raised her head from time to time, looking confused.

"Do you think the general can win?"

The sixth child opened his mouth.

"Definitely, definitely can win!"

He shut his mouth.

Lao Liu helplessly glanced at the soldier beside him who was talking to himself and answering questions.

You said it yourself and why are you asking me?

To be honest, this was the first time he had seen a soldier so nervous.

I was restless and my palms were sweating.

It seems that the champion prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty has a very high status in the eyes of his soldiers.

However, the question of the personal soldiers echoed in Lao Liu's mind again.

Can the champion win?

Lao Liu couldn't give an accurate answer to this.

From the bottom of his heart, he was not optimistic that the champion would win.

No one knows better than him how terrifying the Dragon King opposite is.

Gambling Immortal? In the past, he only felt arrogant, but now it is different. After fighting in person, Lao Liu felt that this Dragon King was really low-key.

How can a mere immortal describe his gambling skills?

He is already... a god.

Thinking of this, Lao Liu felt a little relieved.

After all, no matter how powerful he is, he is only a mortal. Isn't it normal for a mortal to lose to a god? What's unacceptable?

Therefore, no matter who it is, against the Dragon King, Lao Liu's judgment is that he will definitely lose.

Except...Champion Hou.

Although it only took three days for the champion to get started, his learning speed was unprecedented in Lao Liu's life. Obviously, this was not what a mortal should be like.

Coupled with the glorious record of the former champion Hou on the battlefield, it is obviously not something that mere mortals can do.

The Dragon King and the Champion Hou, a person who transcends mortals versus a person who is also beyond mortals. If there is anyone in the world who can win the Dragon King, the only candidate that Lao Liu can think of is the Champion Hou.

Unfortunately, the time was too short.

Lao Liu shook his head sadly.

If the champion is given another month, no, half a month, to give him more time to familiarize himself with gambling techniques and techniques, Lao Liu believes that the champion will definitely be on an equal footing with the Dragon King, and the result of the match between the two will be between equals.

But now...

I really can’t tell.

If I have to give a probability, if the champion wins in the end, it will be about one step... no, half a percent.

Don't be dissatisfied with the low probability. Think about who the person opposite is, a half-percent winning rate is already very high.

At least he, Lao Liu, didn't even have a half-percent winning rate.

In fact, Lao Liu couldn't even think of a way for him to defeat the Dragon King.

It was completely impossible for him.

If the winning rate is half, if the champion wants to win, he probably can only place his hope on a miracle.

But if there is a miracle...it is not impossible.

"Master Hou, what time do you think it is here?"

"Five o'clock."

"Oh, so confident."

The Dragon King raised his eyebrows.

"As expected of the Marquis."

"But what a shame."

"Have you forgotten, Lord Marquis, that we are playing with six dice?"

Lao Liu and the soldiers also frowned deeply.

They couldn't understand what their adults were doing.

The dice are clearly six, but why are they said to be five?

Even if each dice happens to be one, that's still six. Where did the other one go?

Lu Mingfei was not impatient, and slowly shook his folding fan.

"When I say five o'clock, it's five o'clock."

"It's up to you."

The Dragon King's behavior was a little weird.

He did not open the dice cup immediately.

Instead, he confirmed with Lu Mingfei.

"Master Hou, do you really not want to think about it anymore?"

"If you lose, I'll just play with the mask. Madam Marquis..."

Lu Mingfei placed the folding fan on the dice cup.

The Dragon King was stunned for a moment.

He seemed to have discovered something, but he couldn't believe it, and his expression was complicated for a moment.

"Open it."

Lu Mingfei put away the folding fan.

The Dragon King seemed to have finally figured it out.

He took a deep look at Lu Mingfei, remained silent, and lifted the dice cup.

The soldiers and Lao Liu stretched their necks and looked over there.

Although they had already concluded that there were six dice in total, the Marquis said that the number was five. Unless one of the dice was captured by the champion Hou, who was so powerful, there would be no way the situation would be five.

But...what if?

What if someone really commits suicide because of the dice?

To be honest, even they themselves felt that their idea was really stupid.

But the next scene clearly told them.

No, you are not stupid, not at all.

This world is stupid.

In the opened dice cup, there was a single red dot.

A little, a little, a little, a little, a little...

etc!

Lao Liu and his soldiers blinked, blinked, and then blinked in disbelief.

Five o'clock?

Five o'clock!

It's really...five o'clock!

It's not that they're dazzled.

That's five o'clock.

Five one-point dice!

Is this... is it true that Dice took a picture of the champion and committed suicide?

Of course, it is impossible for a dice to kill itself, so there is only one possibility left to make it disappear.

A picture suddenly flashed through Lao Liu's mind.

The champion held a folding fan and placed it on the dice cup.

This is the action!

He can be sure that this is the action!

The Dragon King's silent face suddenly smiled.

He clapped softly.

"Very beautiful."

"It's so beautiful."

He didn't dwell on the missing die.

This makes no sense.

And it’s too ugly, isn’t it?

To the Dragon King, ugly things don't need to exist.

It was agreed from the beginning that this was a gambling competition, and he had to admit defeat. As a man who bears the name of Dragon King, he still had this kind of courage.

After all, isn't the so-called gambling technique just about how to deceive people more skillfully?

"Next game."

Lu Mingfei signaled that he could continue.

The Dragon King was indifferent.

Instead, he looked puzzled.

"Next game?"

"What's next?"

The Dragon King used his white jade-like fingers to comb his hair, from the top of his head all the way down, smoothing it down to the end.

The lamp stand shaped like a beauty holding a heart shines brightly.

It reflects him who is half bright and half dark.

The Dragon King turned his head to look at Lu Mingfei, his distant eyes blooming like a spring flower in the next moment.

"You have already won, Lord Marquis."

"Won?"

Lu Mingfei was puzzled. According to the rules on the second floor of Paradise Forest, wouldn't both parties have ten million taels of silver each, and whoever loses everything to the other party first would win?

This is just one game, how can you say you won?

The Dragon King nodded affirmatively.

He seemed to see Lu Mingfei's doubts.

Long Ang smiled brightly.

"Behave."

he said.

In a nonchalant tone.

"It's been changed."

"just now."

Lu Mingfei banged the folding fan.

"Oh, changed?"

"Exactly."

Dragon King Yingying bowed.

"What the Marquis needs is for the Second Prince Fusang, right?"

"What a coincidence."

"Now these two princes are temporarily staying in my Paradise Forest."

"Please wait a moment, Lord Marquis."

"I will bring the second prince here to see you."

Lu Mingfei nodded.

"Thank you."

The Dragon King smiled at the two soldiers, Lao Liu, and pushed the door open.

Lu Mingfei was the only one left in the room.

The private soldier carefully checked the surroundings to make sure there were no spies, and moved closer to Lu Mingfei.

"General, there may be something fishy about this person."

"I know."

There are many weird things about the Dragon King. Not to mention, Lu Mingfei's trip was to find out the whereabouts of the second prince. Unexpectedly, the second prince happened to be temporarily staying in Paradise Forest. How to explain this?

To say it was a coincidence would be too much.

Another point is that the Dragon King suddenly changed the rules.

It was originally worth tens of millions of taels of silver, but how could it be decided by one round?

Lu Mingfei had a vague feeling, as if the Dragon King was deliberately trying to help him win.

How weird.

Lao Liu didn't care about these twists and turns. His mind was filled with Lu Mingfei's song just now. He rubbed his hands and smiled flatteringly. He came forward. The Marquis was longer than the Marquis, and he wanted to serve tea and beat his shoulders. , eagerly thinking that the Marquis could pass it on to him.

The soldiers made fun of him, but Lao Liu spoke plausibly, saying that a master is a teacher, and that learning from a champion was a blessing he had gained in three lifetimes, and that no one else could envy him.

Lu Mingfei waved his folding fan horizontally to stop them.

"This is the method."

Lao Liu instantly switched to a flattering smile.

"I can teach you."

"It's just that you probably won't be able to use it."

Lao Liu pursed his lips. Lu Mingfei couldn't tell. Even though he didn't say anything, he was definitely muttering in his heart. He probably thought that Lu Mingfei was hiding something, and maybe he was still resentful.

Lu Mingfei didn't say anything at all. He placed his folding fan on the corner of the table. Wood chips fell down silently.

Both of Lao Liu's soldiers looked straight in the eyes.

He stuttered when he spoke.

"Hou... Lord Hou, you..."

Lu Mingfei smiled slightly.

"It's just a lot of strength, don't think too much about it."

The expressions on the faces of Lao Liu and the soldiers are really hard to describe. How powerful are they? Do you call this strong strength? Mr. Hou, we are not as powerful as you, but we are not stupid either! There is really no need to play tricks on people like this.

At this time, the door opened.

Several people heard the noise and looked back.

I thought this must be the Dragon King returning.

But this glance surprised all three of them.

There was indeed a person standing at the door.

He was dressed in a Confucian scholar's robe, with his long hair neatly tied up in a crown. He looked upright, not to mention handsome, and his feeling should be that of a well-behaved person.

Yes, well-behaved. When I saw him for the first time, this word jumped into my mind, well-behaved.

Like his younger brother who has followed his family since he was a benefactor. A group of children were discussing doing bad things, but he timidly said nothing. A group of children went to steal watermelons, but he stood far away and showed off, without needing too much care. , even if you just give him a piece of candy, he will be secretly happy for a long time, and he will treasure it like a treasure for many years.

He is such a well-behaved child.

There is somehow a shadow of the Dragon King between his eyebrows and eyes.

But at this time, he and the previous Dragon King were clearly two different people.

No matter who comes, they will always insist that they are two types of people.

A fairyland is like cherry blossoms falling under the moon.

One is as gentle as the white chrysanthemum blooming by the roadside.

How come the two completely different temperaments are so similar in appearance.

The soldiers and Lao Liu blinked and looked toward the door unwillingly, as if expecting someone else behind this person, such as the Dragon King.

But alas, their hopes were dashed.

He was indeed the only one at the door.

The visitor closed the door politely and sat down in front of Lu Mingfei.

"I have seen the angels of heaven."

A series of movements and expressions adhered to the etiquette. Even the most demanding person would not be able to find any faults in him.

Lu Mingfei looked at him with interest.

He tapped the folding fan lightly on his palm. After a long time, Lu Mingfei smiled sarcastically.

"Should I call you Dragon King, or His Highness the Second Prince?"

This sentence caused the expressions of several people in the room to change drastically.

The only two people who were calm were Lu Mingfei himself and the second prince, or rather, the previous Dragon King.

The soldiers and Lao Liu never expected that the previously demonic Dragon King and the current obedient young man were actually the same person.

Wait, who did the Marquis say he was?

Second prince!

The target of their trip, the Second Prince Fuso, was actually in front of them from the beginning.

Also.

The second prince who left the royal family ten years ago and lived among the people was actually the gambling immortal of Paradise Forest!

The relationship here is so complicated, they just feel like it's a mess in front of them and they can't figure it out.

"At this moment, I am a girl from the source."

"The Dragon King is Kazama Ruri."

"Please forgive me, Lord Marquis."

The second prince Fuso lowered his head politely.

Lu Mingfei was thoughtful.

From the lofty Second Prince of Fuso to the current Dragon King of Paradise Forest, his identity has changed so much that the experience of the man in front of him must have been full of ups and downs.

Somehow, a sentence suddenly appeared in his mind.

Those unknown past events are things you can never forget no matter how hard you forget them.

He seemed to be vaguely remembering something, but even with a barrier, he couldn't see clearly.

Frowning, he hit his head twice with a folding fan. The soldier asked him concernedly how he was doing. Lu Mingfei shook his head and said it was okay.

The previous touch was just fleeting, and soon Lu Mingfei put it behind him and stopped thinking about it.

"It doesn't matter if it's Yuan Zongnu or Kazama Ruri."

He said to the young man.

"You are both Eri's brother, right?"

The second prince did not hesitate at all.

"Exactly."

"Well."

Lu Mingfei nodded.

"You also know about Eriyi's situation. I hope you can help her. Even if you don't want to, it's okay. Even if you are my wife's brother, now it is related to my life. I will tell you the truth, whether to help or not. It’s not up to you.”

The second prince smiled bitterly.

"As expected of the Marquis, he is really as domineering as the rumors say."

Lu Mingfei didn't answer. He was as domineering as ever. Many people said that the current champion was almost crazy because of his wife. He never argued. After all, in Lu Mingfei's view, there was nothing wrong with his words. He was indeed crazy. Lu Mingfei also knew what kind of virtue he had now, but it didn't matter. Since he was just for Hui Liyi, it didn't matter how crazy he was.

The key to saving the lady's life lies in the second prince in front of him. Even if he is Hui Liyi's brother, once he says he is unwilling, Lu Mingfei still has to forcefully take him back to the Great Zhou Dynasty to complete Hui Liyi's bloodline. , to protect the life of the lady.

The second prince did not immediately answer whether he was willing or not.

But he brought up a seemingly unrelated matter.

"When the Marquis wanted to find me, he must have read the records of the past. Bai Xiaosheng is no stranger to this person."

"Well, it was he who said Eriyi was a goddess, and he was the one who said it" Eriyi has incomplete blood.

The second prince's wry smile became even thicker.

He took a deep breath.

"Using another person's divine blood to complete Eriyi's bloodline is the only way to save her."

"only……"

He shook his head.

Lu Mingfei frowned slightly.

Uneasiness rose in his heart.

What is this second prince doing?

He vaguely felt that he would soon hear some very bad news from the second prince.

really……

"The Marquis should be surprised, why I am Fengjian Liuli at one moment, and Yuan Zhennu at the other."

"This matter must start from the day I left Wang Gong."

"That day, I met again...Bai Xiaosheng."

The second prince was silent for a long time, and then he seemed to have mustered up the courage, slowly raised his head, and looked at Lu Mingfei.

"Master Hou, I'm extremely sorry."

"I really want to help you, and I also really want to save Eri."

He held the corner of his clothes tightly.

The clear eyes were full of pain.

Lu Mingfei suddenly realized that the second prince in front of him had such white skin.

White to the point of transparency.

Like cicada wings that can be pierced with a poke, or foam in the sun.

An unpleasant thought suddenly appeared in Lu Mingfei's heart, and soon it took root and sprouted like a seed, growing wildly like a weed, trying to fill up all his thoughts.

Yuan Zhennu lowered her head and looked at her thin palm.

He smiled slightly.

"But it's a pity."

"I can't do it anymore..."

…………

Late night, Beijing.

A carriage stopped at the door of the Champion House.

This street is full of dignitaries and dignitaries. At this point, few people are still wandering outside.

The coachman was a man with sharp eyes, and the fierce aura of rolling in the battlefield came to his face. If there was someone knowledgeable here, it would not be difficult to tell that the man in front of him must be a veteran of many battles.

After confirming that no one was around, the coachman opened the curtain.

A strong herbal smell.

"Sir, we are here."

"Um."

Several figures took advantage of the night to enter the Champion House.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk."

Lu Mingfei opened the door, put him in, and immediately turned around to close the door.

They waited for a while to let the cold air dissipate from their bodies, and then walked in more lightly.

"Madam, madam."

Eriki's eyelashes trembled slightly, was it a dream? How come she seemed to hear her husband's voice?

"Madam, madam..."

Eriki slowly opened her eyes, and everything she saw gradually became clearer, and then she was stunned for a moment, and a look of excitement passed over her.

What I saw was actually my husband's face.

Their hands were clasped together.

Lu Mingfei trembled slightly.

There was still a gentle smile on his face, but only Lu Mingfei knew how painful and uncomfortable he felt in his heart.

Madam, she...has lost her balance again.
