  Chen Yuan glanced at those guards and found that their attention was already focused on Tang Niang's hands.

  Yelü Lühong's eyebrows furrowed together, the sweat smell in the room was extremely thick, which made Yelü Lühong, a girl, somewhat uncomfortable.

  In a cramped room, the air was filled with the shouting of men. When the colored porcelain and ceramic bowls collided, the entire room suddenly fell silent, with only heavy breathing audible.

  The women of Liao were not as bound by etiquette as those of the Song Dynasty, and gambling was also a fashion among the Khitans, including Emperor Xingzong who often set up gambling dens within the palace.

  However, in the casinos opened by Liao Xingzong, most of the gamblers paid attention to some etiquette, where did this group of gamblers get their high emotions?

  The two siblings were infected with this strong emotion, and it was quite novel. The four eyes were wide open, looking forward.

  The guards saw that the princess and the young prince were both interested in this, so they immediately squeezed open a position to let them go in and see clearly.

  Chen Yuan still stood at the edge, unmoving. He also liked to gamble, but Chen Yuan always distinguished between occasions and people when it came to gambling. In a place like this, where there were many tricks up their sleeves, one could only lose, not win.

  "Xiao Shuaiwei, aren't you bringing your two hands today?" The hall attendant's eyes landed on the one surnamed Xiao and immediately greeted him warmly, making it clear to anyone listening that this person was a regular at the casino.

  Xiao Shiwei was quite embarrassed, even though his hands and heart were itching to death, but he still forcefully restrained himself.

  The princess turned her head and looked at him: "Do you often come here to practice martial arts?"

  Xiao Shuaiwei was speechless for a moment, unable to find the right words. However, Yelü Lüjing didn't say anything else either, just humming and then saying: "If you want to play, let's play, I'll see how bold you are on an ordinary day."

  Xiao Shuaiwei still hesitated, then Ye Lü Hongji smiled and said: "Play two rounds and let me see."

  This sentence is like a timely rain for the surname Xiao, and he immediately took out a large sum of money from his arms: "Buy big!"

  "Three, five, six, fourteen points high!" After the dealer opened the dice, Xiao Shuai's whole person excitedly jumped up, and with this, the money in his arms was doubled.

  Taoist priest hehe smiled: "Xiao Shuaiwei is in good spirits tonight, will you go find that little Taohong again?"

  Xiao Shuai Wei's mouth twitched: "Shut up, you stinky brat! What nonsense are you spouting? You're still so arrogant!"

  Yelü Hongji gradually became itchy too. Gambling is like that, especially for Yelü Hongji who had never been in contact with a gambling den before, and he felt an irrepressible curiosity impulse.

  After a while, the excited or disappointed expressions of the people around him finally made Yelü Hongji unable to bear it anymore. At first, he instructed the surnamed Xiao guard to buy big or small, but later feeling not enough, he himself took out a small piece of gold and exchanged it for copper coins, which he placed on the table to gamble with.

  However, in a short while, Yelü Hongji also won a little, and his mood became more indulged in gambling. The four guards also forgot their duties and even forgot Yelü Hongji's identity, squeezing together to place bets.

  Among the crowd's noisy shouting, Chen Yuan stood at the door, but was thinking of his own thoughts.

  Now, everything is going smoothly, and I have a better chance to get in touch with the core of Liaoning people. Those Party members also have inexplicable troubles. What should be done next?

  The court of the Liao State will certainly be very lively, Chen Yuandu can guess that after Song Qi returns, he will hand over the national letter to Emperor Xingzong of Liao, and those Khitan ministers who advocate for war against the Tanguts will seize this opportunity. There are also some middle-of-the-road Khitans who were originally wavering, but because of this incident, they will turn to support the camp that attacks Li Yuanyuan.

  But what was really on Liao Xingzong's mind? That is the key of keys.

  Must get a clear understanding of the situation on the imperial court of Liao, understand what each and every one of those big shots with speaking power are thinking in their hearts, only then can we make the Party items lose and Song Qi also lose!

  Chen Yuan knew that his biggest disadvantage now was that he couldn't openly and honestly do some work, couldn't let anyone know his intentions, because he had to conceal his identity.

  Similarly, his greatest advantage also lies here. Neither the Tanguts nor the Khitans, or even Song Qi, knew that this game was already being played by four people.

  It's a good idea to visit Yelü Niegulu, who is now very proud of himself and his stance is also against Li Yuanhao. If used well, this person will be very useful.

  Although it is very dangerous to plot with a tiger for its skin, if you succeed, it will be the most valuable tiger skin!

  Yelü Lüjing didn't bet either. He turned around to see Chen Yuanzheng standing at the door, and immediately walked over: "Don't like betting?"

  Chen Yuanshao said: "There is no man who doesn't like to gamble, it's just that I don't like to gamble here."

  Yelü Lügui also smiled and looked at Yelü Hongji, who was shouting loudly in front of him. He felt that his younger brother seemed to have changed into a different person and had become somewhat unfamiliar.

  The air at the door was indeed better than inside, and Yelü Chucai let out a long sigh after speaking: "Chen Shimei, can you tell me if it's because I forced him to come and be the East Palace reader?"

  Chen Yuan nodded readily: "Yes, I was just planning to do some business, but unexpectedly received the princess's mistaken love."

  "Can't you be a bit more honest? Tell me what you like, what you want? I'll definitely help make it happen. Then, with a clear conscience, I'll accompany Hongji to read books and wait for the Ninth Prince to become the Crown Prince, he will also reuse you."

  Chen Yuanshao smiled slightly: "Princess, I think honesty is based on the foundation that both parties are very familiar with each other. Are we not still strangers to each other?"

  Yelü Lüjing's eyes stared at him: "No one has ever dared to speak to me like this, do you know what will happen to those who go against my intentions?"

  Chen Yuan smiled wryly: "Didn't I come?"

  Yelü Lüjing said: "The person has arrived, but his heart hasn't!"

  Chen Yuan suddenly felt a bit annoyed: "The princess's request is too much, isn't it? What if I tell my heart that it has arrived now?"

  Yelü Lüjing took a step forward in front of Chen Yuan, and Chen Yuan thought to himself: "Is it time for him to say something to soften me up and win me over?"

  As expected, Yelü Lüjing said in a soft voice: "I know that some people resent me now, Chen Shimei. Give me some time, I want to make it clear that I can give the best, and I believe that your heart will come too."

  Chen Yuanshen thought to herself, "It seems I've been right again. It looks like this princess won't be able to marry Li Yuanhao as a virgin after all."

  He smiled as he looked at Yelü Lüzhen's face, full of wild temptation. Her head was below his nose, and her figure was also good. If she could wear a pair of high-heeled boots to make her reach his eyebrows, it would be perfect harmony.

  Just as Yelü Lüzhen was thinking of how to make Chen Yuan devote himself to her, Chen Yuan was thinking of how to deceive the princess into dedicating herself to him when a sudden noise came from inside.

  Two men turned their heads and saw that Yelü Hongji was shouting loudly at this time: "I clearly spent 500 coins to buy a big one, why did I only get 400 back?"

  The gambler smiled and said: "Sorry, young master, our rules are to look at the money and compensate for the money. The five hundred coins have only four hundred pressed inside this line, and one hundred is outside, which has not entered the line, we will treat it as if you didn't press, sorry!"

  Yelü Lüjing saw Yelü Hongji arguing with someone, and was about to rush over when Chen Yuan grabbed her: "What are you doing? With Xiao Hu's guards protecting the four of them, do you think he'll be at a disadvantage?"

  Yelü Lüji stopped in her tracks, but suddenly felt something was off. She looked down to see Chen Yuan still holding her hand and immediately became annoyed: "Let go of my hand!"

  Chen Yuan smiled wryly and released his own demonic claws, with both of them standing at the door watching.

  Yelü Hongji didn't listen to the explanation of that Tang dynasty servant: "Then the bet I lost earlier also had several tens of coins outside, why did you pull it all in?"

  This phenomenon is often encountered in casinos, and most gamblers who encounter such situations will choose to remain silent. However, Yelawolf doesn't care about these things, nor does he understand them.

  The shopkeeper's face suddenly turned ugly: "This young master, you said I just took tens of dollars from you, do you have any evidence?"

  Yelü Hongji was furious, where could he find evidence now? He grabbed the collar of a guard beside him: "Tell me, did he just pull out money from outside?"

  To be honest, the guard didn't see anything at all. But Yelü Hongji said pull it, so they pulled it.

  As soon as the dealer saw several bodyguards speaking for the young man, he immediately understood that this kid must have a strong backing. However, there are rules in the casino. If someone has a big backer, the casino can give them money, but absolutely not at the gaming table. The money put on the gaming table and taken by the dealer is gone forever, even if the emperor himself came!

  The doorman didn't want to offend the man for a hundred coins, so he made eye contact with several strong men watching the scene. Immediately, one of them squeezed into the crowd and patted Yelü Hongji's shoulder: "Sir, how about this? We'll go aside and clear things up, don't delay the fun of other gentlemen. I will naturally give an explanation, our casino has never cheated customers."

  The four Xiao guards understood that the casino meant to let Yelü Hongji leave the table and go to the side where people would give him money. Would the casino admit its mistake and pay compensation at the gambling table? That was simply impossible.

  Several people also advised Yelü Hongji to come down and talk again, but Yelü Hongji didn't understand the meaning of the gambling house. He sat on the bench with a plop, and said only one sentence: "No way! Come up with another 100 coins immediately!"

  Are the people in the casino easily intimidated? The man, seeing that softness doesn't work, immediately said: "Young master, are you determined to break our casino's rules?"

  At this time, many people in the casino gathered around, and as soon as the gamblers saw that the situation was unfavorable, they immediately dispersed. The four bodyguards looked at Yelü Dashi with their eyes, asking for instructions on what to do next.

  Yelü Lüzhen's eyebrows furrowed slightly, his tone somewhat unpleasant: "Good-for-nothing, for a hundred coins you can also invite trouble!"

  Just as she was about to step forward, Chen Yuan stretched out his hand to stop her: "Princess, please forgive me for being presumptuous. This matter is not worth the prince's attention, but does he need to bother with etiquette in such a small gambling den? You've always said that the prince lacks decisiveness, now that he has made up his mind and wants to retrieve the hundred coins that belong to him, are you going to go forward and take him away or help him get back the money?"
