Chapter 380: Strangers in Jinguangcheng

"Jin Guangcheng! I'm here! I hope you don't let me down!"
With a full moon in the sky, a young man in his early twenties, dressed in a strong suit, with a long bow slung across his shoulder, stood on the top of the mountain and stared at the brightly lit Jinguang City.
Jinguang City was the place where the Carlo Empire was rich in gold mines and the economic lifeline of the Carlo Empire. The lord of Jin Guangcheng is Zhao Shouquan, and Zhao Tianlong is in his own family. If it is to be discussed, he is Zhao Tianlong's uncle in generation, but he is a few years younger than Zhao Tianlong.
The reason why Zhao Shouquan became the lord of Jinguangcheng, the lifeblood of the empire, was mainly because he was weak in character, had no desire for power, and was loyal and honest. As a whole, Mr. Haohao, Zhao Tianlong was very relieved to give Jinguangcheng to him.
However, it was precisely because of Zhao Shouquan's character that he, as the lord of the city, was emptied a little bit. Finally, the actual controller of Jinguangcheng became the deputy city lord Hou Guangzu.
In fact, there is another person in Jinguangcheng's deputy city lord, but he was eventually eliminated from his position because of the crimes committed by his family's children. In the end, the entire family members were sent out of Jinguangcheng, and the family property was confiscated. The rest of the people fled, and they will never step into Jinguangcheng.
In this way, only Hou Guangzu was left among the two deputy city lord. The appointment of the deputy city lord was requested by Zhao Shouquan. But for unknown reasons, Zhao Shouquan never seemed to have any plans to appoint another deputy city lord.
It is precisely because there is no one to pin Hou Guangzu, that Hou Guangzu will become more and more arrogant. There are not only high-level fighters, but also many powerful magicians, who are in the limelight in Jinguang City. People in Jin Guangcheng may not know the city lord Zhao Shouquan, but they will never know the deputy city lord Hou Guangzu.
However, Hou Guangzu is still very smooth in his work, at least he has never been domineering and respectful when facing Zhao Shouquan. Treating subordinates is also a little bit cold and warm, caring more. To the city guards of Jinguangcheng, it is even more responsive, but there is absolutely no ambiguity as long as it can be done.
Jinguang City is famous for its gold mines. There are many mines nearby, so miners are naturally indispensable. Although this is a gold-producing city, the life of the local miners is very hard, a hard day of work, that is, it can solve the food and clothing of the family's three meals a day.
Even so, many locals are vying to work in the mines because they can secretly bring out some gold mines. As long as there are some benefits to those who are checked frequently, and the entrainment is not very obvious, those people will open their eyes and close their eyes.
There may not be many gold mines entrained at one time, but it can't stand up over time. And there are special people who will collect these gold mines secretly. The better the quality, the higher the price. Therefore, the miners often carry high-quality gold mines.
In fact, most of the miners are prisoners in Jinguang City or nearby cities. Their treatment is very poor and they have to be labored with heavy shackles. Many prisoners may be sent to work in the mine just because of petty theft, and many of them never come back.
Some powerful warriors and magicians will be brought into slave collars. The slave collars will not affect the strength of the user, and will make the user obedient and dare not resist any resistance at all, otherwise it will be regarded as the slave collar. Users can easily dispose of them from far away.
There is no curfew in Jinguangcheng, and the gate is still open at night. Although it is almost midnight, the city of Jinguang is still brightly lit, and the road is full of people.
No matter what business the street vendors do, they are all in order, without any sense of chaos.
Some men with strong physiques and fierce faces were smiling and chatting together, drinking wine and eating stir-fries and barbecues. If you just see this scene, no one will think there is something wrong here, everything is harmonious.
When a young man in a strong costume walked to a booth and sat down, the surrounding atmosphere became more subtle. The people who were still eating and laughing just now looked at him vigilantly.
The young man frowned and ignored them, but he was already secretly wary. He doesn't want to take the initiative to cause trouble, but if others take the initiative to find trouble, he will not keep his hands.
"Little brother, it looks very face-to-face! It's the first time to come to Jinguangcheng? What are you doing here? There is gold everywhere here!" A burly man walked over with a huge wooden wine glass in his hand. , Sat down beside the young man.
The young man frowned, and did not stubbornly. The brawny man was full of alcohol, making him frowned in dissatisfaction.
The brawny man didn't seem to find the young people disgusted at all. After looking around, he whispered mysteriously, "Little brother, do you want to make a fortune? Follow your brother and promise to make you big money!"
The young man looked at the brawny man in shabby clothes and sneered in his heart. Even if you want to cheat money, you must dress appropriately! I am almost dressed as a beggar, and then I tell others that I can make a fortune by following myself, is it impossible to go begging along the street?
"Little brother, don't look at the shabby I am wearing now. It's because I have spent all my money on the blade. As long as you mix with me, you are guaranteed to be up and down." The strong man belched his wine and patted his chest.
"Sorry, I'm not interested." The young man stopped paying attention to the brawny man after he said it.
The brawny man chattered again, but when he found that the young man was not only indifferent to his words, but also ignored him at all, the brawny man's heart became futile and he slapped the table and stood up suddenly.
"You kid toasting and not eating fine wine?" The strong man stared at the young man viciously, in a posture that he would fight if he didn't agree with him.
"Yeah! This is not the king of gambling! Why are you so angry? What are you doing?" A joking voice came over.
The brawny man's face that had been distorted because of anger suddenly stretched out, smiling like a chrysanthemum in full bloom.
"Ah! This is not Master Xiao! Why are you so free today?"
"King of gambling, you better give me peace! If you are not honest, be careful. I will send you to the mine to play for two days. There is a shortage of people in the mine these days!" Mr. Xiao walked to the bet staggeringly. Next to Wang, the whip in his hand touched the shoulder of the gambling king and snorted coldly.
"Master Xiao, you have a large number of adults, so don't think about me a little bit about this kind of good thing! You don't know! The last time I went to the mine for a day, I almost threw away two hundred catties!" The gambling king nodded and laughed.
"Well..." Master Xiao put his hands on his chest, looking very embarrassed.
"Master Xiao, don't worry, I am today, no, I'll see you in a while! I've been reciting a bit recently, and I'm thinking of a way now!" The gambling king said with a smile.
"Hmph, you can figure it out by yourself! Who is this person? Why do you look so face-to-face?" Master Xiao glanced at the young man and asked in confusion.
"I do not……"
"I am the uncle of the gambling king." The gambling king was about to say that he didn't know him, but the young man snatched his head and looked at Lord Xiao with a smile. Glanced.
"Guru." The gambling king couldn't help swallowing his saliva. From the outside, he knew that the money bag was definitely not a small amount, and it was all gold and silver coins.
"Uncle?" Master Xiao frowned, looking at the gambling king with questioning.
"Uh...yes, yes! Don't look at my age, but I am young at home, he is my distant cousin. We haven't seen it for a long time, and he happened to come over to see me recently." Hurriedly defended.
"Tell you...Uncle, there are those precautions in Jinguangcheng. If something goes wrong, I will take your skin off!" Although Lord Xiao was talking to the gambling king, he did not look at him at all, but stared at him. The eyes of young people.
"Master Xiao, don't worry, I will definitely not let my uncle do anything good." The gambling king said sincerely.
"Better not! Don't forget what you said!" Master Xiao looked at the young man, then looked at the gambling king, and walked away.
"You are crazy! Why do you say it's my uncle!" After seeing Master Xiao disappear, the King of Gamblers let out a sigh of relief. Then he looked at the young man with a grim look, lowered his voice and snarled.
"Because I don't want you to make money too easy." The young man patted his pocket on his waist and said with a sneer.
"Uh... how much are you going to give me?" Hearing the crash of the coins in the purse, the gambler immediately showed a flattering smile.
"I ask you to answer, if I am satisfied, your benefits will naturally be indispensable." The young man took out a gold coin and shook it in front of the gambling king.
"You are asking the right person. There is nothing I don't know about Jinguangcheng. From the private life of the nobles to the little widow stealing man, I can tell you everything you want to know." After the gambling king saw the gold coin, The eyes are shining, and the mouth is full of stars.
"I'm not interested in those, tell me why you are called the king of gambling." The young man grinned, wishing to give the king of gambling a mouth.
"This..." The gambling king rubbed his hands, he was a little embarrassed.
"Huh! If you don't want to say it, then forget it." The youth naturally dismissed the name of the king of gambling, this was just an appetizer. With a cold snort, he flipped his hand to collect the gold coin.
"Don't... don't! Actually nothing. My surname is Wang. I am born to gamble, but I always lose, so everyone asks me to make fun of me." The gambling king sighed, and it was considered a risk.
The youth shrugged his shoulders and threw a silver coin over.
"Isn't it a gold coin!" The gambling king mumbled a little dissatisfied after receiving the silver coin.
"Get me back if you don't want it." The young man's voice was a little cold.
"Yes, yes!" The gambling king hurriedly took the silver coin into his arms.
