Chapter 217

Although many times,

the martial arts people who went to Qianjintai to play were not many; most were high-ranking officials, wealthy merchants, or even princes of a country.

But precisely because of this,

the energy possessed by Qianjintai was far from what the other three major gambling houses could compare to.

And over these years,

the few events that occurred in Qianjintai, even until now, were still often mentioned.

First was a few years ago,

when the case of Prince Prince Langya's rebellion had not yet happened, and the Sixth Prince Xiao Chuhe had not yet used the pseudonym Xiao Se, hiding his name in Snowfall Villa.

At that time,

the Sixth Prince Xiao Chuhe could be said to be a regular at Qianjintai,

and his most famous deed at Qianjintai was a high-stakes gamble with the Crown Prince of Nanjue, Ao Yu; it was in that instance that Xiao Se won a city of Nanjue from Ao Yu's hands.

And this high-stakes gamble, even until now, was still widely circulated in Tianqi City.

There was another matter,

and that was the son of the current Minister of Revenue.

He once caused a scene at Qianjintai because he lost money, and as a result, he disappeared inexplicably that same night.

Just when many people thought the other party was just venting his unhappiness at some music house, the next morning, a carriage stopped leisurely at the gate of the Minister's mansion.

And when the servants of the Minister's mansion discovered it and opened the carriage curtain with confusion, they found that the person lying inside was actually the son of the mansion.

And at this time, the other party's right hand had already been cut off by someone.

It was heard that at the time, inside the carriage, there was blood from this young master everywhere.

Many people guessed that the one who cut off the right hand of this Minister's son was none other than Second Master Tu, the boss of Qianjintai.

However,

until now,

this Second Master Tu was still living well in Tianqi City, and under his management, Qianjintai had leaped to become the head of the four major gambling houses in Northern Li.

Anyone who came to Qianjintai to play,

from the Xiao family nobles to wealthy merchants, once they walked into Qianjintai, no one was precious; whoever it was, as long as they lost money, they could only accept their fate!

From this, it could be seen,

how terrifying and mysterious the force behind Qianjintai was.

Everyone did not expect,

that this Young Master of Qianjintai would actually come to Snow Moon City.

But soon,

many people began to guess that the reason he came to Snow Moon City was mostly related to the newly opened gambling house in Snow Moon City.

After all, before the gambling house even started business,

Snow Moon City had already put out the word that it wanted to operate the Snow Moon City gambling house as the number one gambling house in the world!

Although everyone didn't know if Snow Moon City had this ability,

but at least from the current perspective, whether it was the area or the decoration, this gambling house in Snow Moon City was indeed the largest and most luxurious.

Especially those exquisite and dazzling glass lamps, which were only found in this one gambling house.

Feeling the worshipful and awe-struck gazes of the crowd,

a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of Zhang Zhang Haoxuan's eyes, but on the surface, he had a smiling appearance, and he even cupped his hands toward the crowd, looking quite refined.

He did indeed want to see what this newly opened gambling house in Snow Moon City looked like when he came this time.

It was just that,

regarding the news that had been spreading recently, and had even reached Tianqi City, about building the number one gambling house in the world, Zhang Zhang Haoxuan was somewhat unimpressed.

Some things,

are not things you can do just because you want to.

In the eyes of Tianqi City,

Snow Moon City was ultimately just a martial arts city; even if the three city lords of Snow Moon City were all powerhouses of the Great Free and Unfettered Realm, so what? In the end, they were just some martial arts people.

As for the recent appearance of a Divine Wandering Mysterious Realm powerhouse in Snow Moon City...

Tianqi City wasn't without them!

What's more,

even if a Divine Wandering Mysterious Realm powerhouse was powerful, they were only one person; could they withstand the million-strong army of the imperial court?

That person in Tianqi City had said it himself.

Facing a million-strong army, even a Divine Wandering Mysterious Realm powerhouse could only choose to flee for their life!

However,

although that was the case,

Qianjintai did not look down on Snow Moon City because of this.

After all, regarding the current struggle for the crown prince, although the Sixth Prince seemed not to have the advantage, Qianjintai, relying on its terrifying connections, had obviously known about it long ago.

Among the three princes, Emperor Mingde actually liked the Sixth Prince Xiao Chuhe the most.

Even during the Prince Prince Langya rebellion case back then, when Xiao Chuhe collided with and pressured Emperor Mingde for Prince Prince Langya, it still did not change Emperor Mingde's attitude toward each prince!

And he had already heard from his father,

because of the Prince Prince Langya rebellion case back then, the Second City Lord of Snow Moon City, the Snow Moon City Sword Immortal, was also involved.

Therefore,

if there were no accidents,

Snow Moon City must be supporting the Sixth Prince Xiao Chuhe.

It was precisely because of this,

before Zhang Zhang Haoxuan set off, Second Master Tu had already instructed him that it was fine to go to Snow Moon City this time, but he absolutely must not have a conflict with Snow Moon City, even if Snow Moon City said to his face that their gambling house would inevitably surpass Qianjintai in the future, it was the same!

Zhang Zhang Haoxuan naturally understood the meaning in his father's words.

Because their Qianjintai was also choosing to support the Sixth Prince Xiao Chuhe.

Therefore, before the struggle for the crown prince position was over, Qianjintai absolutely could not tear its face with Snow Moon City.

As for after all this was over...

Anyway, everyone was supporting the Sixth Prince, so the matter between their two gambling houses, regardless of whether the Sixth Prince won the crown prince position or not, would not be easy to intervene in.

Since that was the case,

how could Snow Moon City possibly be a match for Qianjintai, which was located in the capital, Tianqi City?

It was just that,

what surprised Zhang Zhang Haoxuan somewhat was,

he didn't expect to encounter someone as elegant and spiritual as Little Dragon Maiden on this trip to Snow Moon City.

Seeing that Little Dragon Maiden still ignored him,

Zhang Zhang Haoxuan could only continue to speak with a smile: "Young lady might not know, if you had come to challenge the Heaven-Ascending Pavilion of Snow Moon City some time ago, there would still be a possibility of passing, but now, it is just a waste of time."

However,

no matter how he spoke, Little Dragon Maiden still acted as if she hadn't heard, her gaze just following the lanterns as they lit up one by one, moving upward continuously.

By this moment,

a hint of gloom finally couldn't help but appear on Zhang Zhang Haoxuan's face.

Think of his identity, Zhang Zhang Haoxuan;

not to mention these martial arts people, even the young masters and young ladies of high-ranking officials who went to play at Qianjintai, who didn't greet him with a smiling face when they saw him?

Yet now,

he had lowered his status so much, but the other party still didn't appreciate it.

However,

this was Snow Moon City after all, and Zhang Zhang Haoxuan also knew it was a special period, so it was not good to sour the relationship between Qianjintai and Snow Moon City, so although he was unhappy in his heart, he didn't do anything excessive.

Thinking of this,

Zhang Zhang Haoxuan glanced at the attendant beside him without a trace.
