An Zaiyue stood guard at the entrance of the alleyway, while the alleyway behind him was filled with spring light.

The clothes of a dozen girls that were like flowers and jade-like flowers had all been taken off. A faint fragrance lingered in the air, and an indescribable charming atmosphere surrounded them.

An Zeng took out the wine jugs from the blood pearl bracelet and started drinking them one by one. He was thinking about where he should send these girls to.

Since they had been saved, they couldn't just casually throw them away. If they did, it wouldn't be long before they would be taken back one by one.

Just as he was thinking about this, someone tapped on his shoulder from behind: ""Alright, turn around.""

An Zeng turned his head and saw Sang Rou's charming face.

""A heroine.""

An Zeng cried out and then cupped his fist.

As soon as he raised his hand, Sang Rou snatched away the wine jug.

Sang Rou raised her head and gulped a few mouthfuls before patting her chest. ""You scared me to death.""

He pointed at the girls. ""You saved them. Have you thought about where to take them?""

Sang Rou shook her head. ""I've never thought about it …""

""You fool.""

Sang Rou: ""You are!""

After a moment of silence, An Zeng said, ""In a while, you two can go separately. One by one, or together, try to pick up as many people as possible and head into the crowd.""

""Sang Rou, bring them to the Martial Arts Academy. I will arrange for them to go to the Martial Arts Academy to take you away.""

Sang Rou made an ""oh"" sound, then stuffed the wine jug into An Ying's hands. ""About that … thank you.""

She turned away and let out a helpless sigh.

An Xin fought her way back to the Heavenly Enlightenment Sect before arranging for people to go wait at the martial field and bring back those young girls.

For the time being, he had no other choice but to let them stay in the Heavenly Enlightenment Sect and wait for the situation to settle down before sending them out of Fang Shoucheng.

After making the arrangements, An Zhe rushed to the Gathering Merchant House. It was already afternoon, and An Zhe did not even have lunch.

On the way, he bought a few steamed buns, gnawed on them and entered the entrance of the Gathering Shang Manor. The crowd in the hall looked at him as if he were a monster.

Under countless pairs of eyes, An Zeng directly went up to the second floor with a bun stuffed in his mouth.

Pushing open the door to the private room, An Zizai saw Xiao Qizhao practicing his punching routine with Skinny Du …

Looking at the dishes on the table and then at the bun in his hands, An Zhe felt like a monster.

He sat down and asked, ""Lord Fatty, what have you done?""

Du Weisun grinned. ""Xiao Qidao has drank too much …""

An Zeng glared at him, ""He's still a child, how could you let him drink!""

Skinny shook his head. ""I didn't. He wanted to try it himself.""

The average person would only take a sip. This kid would drink half of a cup in a single gulp, and that would be the end of it.

Sing giddy to me, then pull me to play hide-and-seek with him.

""You said that a man as upright as me would be fine at home, but how could I play hide-and-seek with him in a place like this …""

""So you taught him how to fight?""

""Aren't you idling away too?""

An Zou: ""You bullied a child. Is it interesting that you won the fight?""

Du's thin face turned black. ""We lost …""

An Zeng almost spat out the mouthful of food he had just stuffed into his mouth. ""You still have the face to say!""

""Do you know who he is?""

In this world, I only submit to two people. One is you, and the other is Lord Seventh.

He was truly a genius, not only in terms of cultivation, but also in terms of his fists and fists.

""One thing will do, one thing will do, and then I never won.""

Xiao Qi chuckled, ""It's really fun …""

An Zhe picked up Xiao Qidao and placed him on the recliner. ""Sleep!""

Andersen saw the cat, the good man, squatting at the window, staring back, stars in his eyes.

Then, An Zaihai discovered that the expression on the face of the good god was not one of surprise and joy as if he had discovered some treasure. It was instead one of worry.

What is the good lord worried about?

An Zaifeng ate some food like a whirlwind, then he had the servants take away all the food. After sitting down, An Zaiyue asked, ""What happened after I left?""

Skinny Du shook his head. ""They sent out some things from You Country back and forth. However, there's no need for you to take action. Old Man Zhang Yif also stunned the scene.""

Moreover, there were quite a few experts who came today. They were just not familiar with sea goods.

""If it really is a magic item, then even the people of Quiet Nation can't fool people with things like pills.""

""Mhmm,"" An Zaiyue acknowledged, feeling that the good lord was trying to express something in his eyes.

After coming back, he could clearly feel that the Magic Binding Cloth in the Blood Pearl's bracelet was starting to move again.

After waiting for another hour, the main event finally arrived.

The staff cleared a space in the hall and set up chairs and a coffee table.

Not long later, the purple-robed Prince Tan Song walked out of the backyard accompanied by Li Changlu and Zhuang Feifei, and sat in the main hall.

Zhuang Feifei sat down and walked over to An Zaiyue's side to take a look. An Zaiyue nodded, and Zhuang Feifei sat down in the back row.

After a while, there was a sound outside the door. Then, the Minister of Rites and a few other high-ranking officials of the imperial court arrived as well.

However, from the beginning to the end, the red robed Divine Priest of Quiet Nation did not approach the county governor. It seemed that there was some sort of conflict between the two.

The adults all greeted politely. Zhuang Feifei found the time to go up to the second floor, whispering to An Zeng the moment she entered, ""There's a problem.""

""What's wrong?""

Anjou asked.

Zhuang Feifei replied, ""This duke from Nether Kingdom has never even glanced at me.""

Du laughed thin: ""Big sister, you have been dealt a blow.""

Zhuang Feifei: ""Pah … Rumor has it that this prefecture lord is born to be a romantic. Even if he were to rein in his character after he arrives at the Yan Kingdom, his eyes are unable to fool anyone.""

He never looked at me. He never even looked at the pretty girls in my apartment.

And I could see that he wasn't pretending not to look at it, he really wasn't looking at it at all. ""

An Zhe asked, ""Today, this prefecture lord came to the Gathering Shang Manor, and the Protocol Department's Minister of Rites arrived late. He must have gone to prepare for the banquet.""

In other words, this duke will see the empress dowager and Duke Yan tonight. ""

Zhuang Feifei nodded, ""The King of Swallow and the others are too indifferent, so they have not received it personally.""

""Tonight's banquet will be held in Heavenly Temple. It would be a bit unfair if we don't meet again.""

An Xuan said, ""Later, think of a way to bring me down to take a look. Let me see the eyes of that Prefecture Lord.""

Zhuang Feifei said, ""You're a first-rate appraiser. Can you tell any secrets from other people's eyes?""

""If I say yes, do you think I'm exaggerating?""

Zhuang Feifei shook her head, ""Of course not.""

She didn't stay long. She went back to the grown-ups.

Before long, the area below became much quieter.

Six burly men from Nether Kingdom carried a box out from the backyard. The box was extremely heavy.

The good man jumped onto An Zeng's shoulder and stared at the box.

""Good Lord, do you feel something?""

An Chou raised his hand and touched the good lord's head. The good lord rubbed his face and glanced at the young master.

An Ethereal Opening official walked up to the platform and stood beside the huge box, saying, ""This is a gift from my Great Ethereal King to the King of Yan, King Yan's Esteemed Citizen. Therefore, he wanted everyone to see how magical this treasure is.""

There were a total of three treasures in this chest, and they were all rarely seen.

""However … I heard that the Yan Kingdom is full of talented people, so I felt that if I were to take it out just like that, I would underestimate all of you.""

He clapped his hands, and another person came in carrying three large chests, ""How about this, I'll set a topic to make a small game, it's rather simple.""

These boxes are full of stones. As for what kind of stones they are, I don't need you to tell me.

Our game rules are simple, just stone gambling. ""

He changed the subject, ""But there's no point in just playing a small game. We might as well add some stakes on an impromptu basis.""

My Great Quiet is the richest country in the world, so I made a promise on behalf of the king.

No matter how much you bet, we will follow it and increase it by thirty percent.

That is to say, if you all win the bet, not only will you return the bet, we will also add a portion of the reward.

""And this stone belongs to the person who gambled.""

At this, the interest of the dittos was piqued.

Actually, stone gambling was for wealth, but it wasn't usually the kind of wealth that the rich sought, it was to stimulate.

All the people who frequented the market yard were very confident about their ability to bet on stones.

Seeing that everyone was eager to give it a try, the You Kingdom official smiled and said, ""However, if none of you have guessed right, then your bet can only belong to our You Kingdom.

This is you willing to bet I lose the matter, I hope there will not be any unhappy voice later on.

If you have no objections, please invite Mr. Zhang Yifang, the head storekeeper of the Juxi Province, to preside over the event at the same time as me.

""In addition, in order to guarantee fairness, there will be four experts who will appraise treasures.""

He pointed at the four people behind him and said, ""Two are from the Yan Country, two are from the You Country, so it's absolutely fair.""

However, in order to ensure the reasonableness of the transaction, everyone who wanted to participate in the game had to pay a deposit of five thousand taels of silver. This was just a guarantee of reputation.

Of course, if someone breaks the rules, the deposit cannot be refunded. ""

The people below didn't care about the five thousand taels of silver, they all took out their banknotes and handed them over.

There were no less than a hundred people in the hall, and the deposit alone was worth around five to six hundred thousand silver taels.

On the second floor, An Zeng said to Skinny Du, ""This is a type of stone that has slightly changed the rules.""

Normally, the banker would place the stones at the right price. Anyone who wanted to buy the stones would buy them. If they didn't cut out the spirit stones, then they could only blame their bad luck.

""The betting stone has been added to this bet, which means that a huge amount of money will probably appear in a moment.""

Yan people like to gamble, the people of You have a good grasp on their character.

An Zhan said worriedly, ""I'm afraid it's not that simple for these Nether Realm people to come prepared.""

Below, the nobles of the Yan Kingdom were reluctant to part with their military funds. No one would be unwilling to part with their money.

""Yan's passion for gambling is unfathomable. In the end, if the people of You Country end up losing a large amount of wealth, then not only will they lose face, but perhaps the money of this great competition will turn into a long blade and slaughter the soldiers of Yan Country on the battlefield.""

""This group of Nether Nation people are really shameless,"" said Du.

An Zhan shook his head. ""They've captured the character of the Yan people when it comes to gambling.""

As he spoke, the big man opened the few boxes and took out various stones, one by one, and placed them on the table.

The largest piece was more than a meter tall and could not be moved onto the table. It could only be placed on the platform.

The smallest was the size of a fist, but it was impossible to tell whether it was valuable or not from its size.

Not long later, the table was covered in stones, and the people of Yan were all dumbfounded.

These stones were completely different from the ones they were used to seeing.

It was colorful.

Generally speaking, the stone used for gambling was because it was ordinary, so it was hard to choose.

If it really was a glowing stone, then what was there to bet on? One could tell with a glance that there was something good in it.

But the stones, each one of them, seemed to glow, not the kind of reflection that the light of a lamp caught in some paint.

These stones were of all colors, and the radiance emitted from each of them was very real.

Thus, the people below were immediately thrown into chaos. From their point of view, these stones contained spirit stones.

When she saw these stones, even Zhuang Fei Fei Fei's expression changed. She couldn't help but turn her head to look at the second floor, while An Zeng's face also turned solemn.

He was a bit far away, so he couldn't see any clues at the moment.

As for old mister Zhang Yifu who was sitting on the platform, he suddenly stood up with a face full of surprise.

He had not encountered such a situation in his many years of treasure appraisal.

The You Country's official had a complacent look on his face, ""What, no one dares to come up and take a look?""

No one dared to bet first?

This is really too disappointing. If these things were placed in our You Kingdom, even a five-year-old child would be able to easily recognize them.

My country is rich in mineral resources, who does not have a few good stones to play with.

However, I haven't seen you before. Why don't we just drop the bet?

But as I said earlier, I won't back out on the bond.

Everyone, if you want to turn the tables, the only chance is to bet stones.

""But I don't think everyone has the guts to do that.""

Overbearing.
