Chapter 378

Although many times,

there are not many Jianghu people going to the Thousand Gold Terrace to play; most of them are some high-ranking officials or wealthy merchants, or even a prince of a country.

But precisely because of this,

the energy possessed by the Thousand Gold Terrace is far from what the other three major gambling dens can compare to.

And over these years,

several things that happened in the Thousand Gold Terrace, even until now, are still often mentioned.

First is a few years ago,

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

At that time,

the Sixth Prince Xiao Chuhe could be said to be a regular at the Thousand Gold Terrace,

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

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

There is another matter,

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

He once caused a scene at the Thousand Gold Terrace because he lost money, and as a result, he disappeared inexplicably that very night.

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

And when the servant of the Minister's Mansion discovered and opened the carriage curtain with a puzzled look, he 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 is said that inside the carriage at that time, there were bloodstains of this son everywhere.

Many people guessed that the one who cut off the right hand of this Minister's son was precisely Second Master Tu, the boss of the Thousand Gold Terrace.

However,

until now,

this Second Master Tu is still living well in Tianqi City, and under his management, the Thousand Gold Terrace has leaped to become the head of the four major gambling dens in Northern Li.

Anyone who comes to play at the Thousand Gold Terrace,

from the nobles of the Xiao clan down to the wealthy merchants, once they walk into the Thousand Gold Terrace, no one is precious; whoever it is, as long as they lose money, they can only accept their fate!

From this, it can be seen,

how terrifying and mysterious the forces behind the Thousand Gold Terrace are.

Everyone didn't expect,

that this son of the Thousand Gold Terrace would actually come to Xueyue City.

However, soon,

many people began to guess that the reason the other party came to Xueyue City was mostly related to the newly opened gambling den in Xueyue City.

After all, before the gambling den even started business,

Xueyue City had already released word that it wanted to manage the Xueyue City gambling den into the number one gambling den in the world!

Although everyone didn't know if Xueyue City had this ability.

But at least from the current point of view, whether it was the area or the decoration, this gambling den in Xueyue City was indeed the largest and most luxurious.

Especially those exquisite and dazzling glazed lamps, which only this gambling den had.

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

Zhang Haoxuan revealed a trace of mockery in the corner of his eyes, but on the surface, he had a smiling appearance, and even cupped his hands toward the crowd, looking quite cultured.

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

It's just that,

regarding the message that had been spreading recently, and even reached Tianqi City, about creating the number one gambling den in the world, Zhang Haoxuan was somewhat dismissive.

Some things,

are not something that can be done just by thinking.

In the eyes of Tianqi City,

Xueyue City was ultimately just a Jianghu city. Even if the three City Lords of Xueyue City were all powerhouses of the Great Carefree Realm, so what? In the end, they were just some Jianghu people.

As for the recent news about the appearance of a Spirit-Wandering Mystic Realm powerhouse in Xueyue City...

It's not like Tianqi City doesn't have one!

Furthermore,

even if a Spirit-Wandering Mystic Realm powerhouse is powerful, they are just one person; can they resist the million-strong army of the Imperial Court?

That person in Tianqi City had said it himself.

Facing a million-strong army, even a Spirit-Wandering Mystic Realm powerhouse can only choose to flee for their life!

However,

although that is the case,

the Thousand Gold Terrace did not underestimate Xueyue City because of this.

After all, regarding the current struggle for the Crown Prince, although the Sixth Prince didn't seem to have the advantage, the Thousand Gold Terrace, relying on its terrifying (bbee) network of relationships, obviously already knew about it.

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

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

And he had already heard from his father,

because of the case of Prince Langya's rebellion back then, the Second City Lord of Xueyue City, the Xueyue City Sword Immortal, was also involved.

Therefore,

if there were no accidents,

Xueyue City must be supporting the Sixth Prince Xiao Chuhe.

It was precisely because of this,

before Zhang Haoxuan set off, Second Master Tu had already instructed him that it was fine to go to Xueyue City this time, but he absolutely must not have a conflict with Xueyue City, even if Xueyue City said to his face that the Xueyue City gambling den would definitely surpass the Thousand Gold Terrace in the future, it was the same!

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

Because their Thousand Gold Terrace was actually also choosing to support the Sixth Prince Xiao Chuhe.

Therefore, before the struggle for the Crown Prince position ended, the Thousand Gold Terrace absolutely could not tear its face with Xueyue City.

As for after all this ends...

Anyway, everyone is supporting the Sixth Prince, so regarding the matter between their two gambling dens, regardless of whether the Sixth Prince has won the Crown Prince position or not, it would not be easy to intervene in it.

Since that is the case,

how could Xueyue City possibly be an opponent of the Thousand Gold Terrace, which is located in the capital, Tianqi City?

It's just that,

what surprised Zhang Haoxuan a bit was,

he didn't expect that this trip to Xueyue City would actually allow him to meet someone as elegant and spiritual as Little Dragon Maiden.

Seeing that Little Dragon Maiden still didn't pay attention to him,

Zhang Haoxuan could only continue to speak with a smile: "The young lady might not know, if one came to challenge the Ascension Pavilion of Xueyue City some time ago, there was still 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 moving upward continuously as one lantern after another lit up.

By this moment,

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

Think of his identity, Zhang Haoxuan,

let alone these Jianghu people, even the sons and daughters of high-ranking officials and nobles who went to play at the Thousand Gold Terrace, who didn't greet him with a smiling face when they saw him?

However now,

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

However,

this was Xueyue City after all, and Zhang Haoxuan also knew it was a special period, so it was not good to make the relationship between the Thousand Gold Terrace and Xueyue City stiff; so although he was unhappy in his heart, he didn't do anything excessive.

Thinking of this,

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