Fast! Fast! Put out the fire!

27

Fast! Right here! Water!

28

Faster!

29

Faster! Faster!

30

Quickly put out the fire! Quickly come here!

31

Water!

32

Everyone stop!

33

There's another rescuer.

34

Catch them!

35

Take Miss Zhu out first! I will stop them!

36

No, we'll leave together!

37

Kill the Commandery Prince of Dongping first!

38

No, don't go over there.

39

Go!

40

- Chen Yu!

- Come on! Don't you want to live?

41

Hurry!

42

- Faster.

- Let me go!

43

Let's go.

44

Come with me!

45

Let go of me!

46

What are you doing? Don't run!

47

Let go of me!

48

Zhu brat, you like Chen Yu? I will have him die here then.

49

Kill!

50

Kill him!

51

Kill!

52

Faster! Faster!

53

Let go of me!

54

It's been days.

55

The young master still doesn't have any updates. Did anything happen to him?

56

I will go into the desert and look.

57

- You stay here and wait for the message.

- Quickly go!

58

- Stop. What's your purpose for entering?

- Looking for a doctor.

59

Xiao Liu! Xiao Liu!

60

Princess! Princess! Where did you go?

61

- Go save Chen Yu. He is trapped in the bandit's base camp. He is in danger.

- Stop right there!

62

I will ask Magsitrate Du to send troops.

63

Wait!

64

This is the map of the bandit's guarding locations.

65

Look!

66

We can use it to break into the base camp.

67

Take it.

68

What are you doing?!

69

I saved her.

70

If I don't knock her out,

71

she will try to go into the base camp and try to save him.

72

Since you guys know her,

73

then protect her. Here.

74

Princess! Princess!

75

Princess!

76

Stop him!

77

Go after him! Now!

78

Don't let him get away!

79

Go search over there!

80

Faster! Hurry! Let's go!

81

Over there! Faster!

82

Go look over there!

83

You guys come with me.

84

Send a couple people over there.

85

He is not here! Search carefully!

86

He is not here either!

87

I didn't see him here either!

88

Quickly, go over there!

89

Yes!

90

Go look behind there!

91

-

92

This way! This way! Search this way!

93

This way. Search over there!

94

- You guys, go look over there!

- Yes!

95

This commandery prince is so good.

96

We have this many people

97

and he escaped anyways.

98

I do admire him.

99

No matter how good he is,

100

he has to die here.

101

Yes.

102

Master Liu!

103

Main envoy, why did you come here?

104

Master has given orders commanding Big Beard Ma

105

to immediately bring 500 people

106

a gather at Xiaoqiu (Little Hills) Woods.

107

What will they be doing there?

108

The Emperor's people are there.

109

As they say, we train soldiers for a thousand days to use them one day.

110

Villa Master Liu, you've been training them for so long on behalf of Master.

111

It's finally time to use them.

112

The war finally starts.

113

What's wrong?

114

Go.

115

Young Master?

116

Young Master.

117

Did you blow the horn for retreat?

118

Xichu's troops are coming.

119

All of you need to leave immediately and abandon this place.

120

Our watchmen are everywhere in this desert.

121

- Why didn't we receive any messages from them?

- Stupid!

122

Did I come all this way just to lie to you?

123

Zhu brat stole the watchmen's map from Big Beard Ma and handed it to Commandery Prince's people.

124

They've avoided your scouts.

125

Go report to the old man now!

126

Thank you for the information.

127

We will leave right this second.

128

Chief Steward Zhu,

129

you have come here more than once.

130

And you've brought expensive gifts every time you've visited.

131

I understand your desire for saving her,

132

but I've made myself clear that

133

the only possibility for anyone disappearing in the Gobi Desert

134

is being abducted by BIg Beard Ma.

135

I've sent people to exterminate the bandits.

136

Please wait for a couple of days.

137

There should be good news coming.

138

But the bandits....

139

But what?

140

Don't think that I don't know.

141

While talking to me and General Guan,

142

you also sent people to investigate where the bandits were at the same time.

143

You want to pay expensive bail to get Your Lady back.

144

Do you know that you are ruining my extermination plan?

145

I wouldn't dare, Magistrate.

146

Also,

147

now is the key moment in our extermination plan.

148

If you leak out any information,

149

the Zhu Manor will be a suspect for ganging up with the criminals.

150

Ganging up with the criminal

151

is a serious crime that can cost the lives of everyone in your family.

152

I understand.

153

Since you understand, then you may leave.

154

If there are any updates, I will send people to let you know.

155

Thank you, Magistrate.

156

Magistrate!

157

What are you panicking about?

158

Speak!

159

Magistrate,

160

General Guan has obtained the defense map of the bandits.

161

He already took off to exterminate them.

162

What?

163

We are late. They ran off again.

164

- Young Master!

- Commandery Prince!

165

Prince!

166

Sorry for being late.

167

Please forgive me, Your Highness.

168

Go after them right now.

169

They just left.

170

Maybe you can catch them.

171

Go!

172

Thank you, Your Highness. I will go right now.

173

Young Master.

174

- Come with me!

- Yes!

175

Han Ye,

176

how did you find me?

177

Young Master,

178

we saw a man by the city gates who was forcefully taking Princess with him.

179

He knocked out Her Highness and disappeared.

180

The Princess gave us the map for the guards' locations.

181

She said that you were trapped in the bandit's base camp and was in danger.

182

I had General Guan send troops your way immediately.

183

Where is she right now?

184

Xiao Liu went with her to a nearby inn.

185

Good.

186

Let her stay close for now.

187

Send some people to protect her.

188

Don't let her fall into Dongfang Shi's hands.

189

Also,

190

don't tell her that I'm injured,

191

so she won't worry too much.

192

Understood.

193

There was a man here.

194

He said they were going to start a battle with the Emperor in Xiaoqiu Woods.

195

I suspect that

196

they are targeting my teacher this time.

197

Han Ye,

198

send all the guards to Xiaoqiu Woods right now.

199

If you see my teacher,

200

help him

201

at the critical moment.

202

What about you?

203

I'm fine.

204

I will be fine after recuperating for a while.

205

Zhangqing!

206

Han Ye, put down your sword. He is not the enemy.

207

Yes.

208

Get back

209

and drop your weapons!

210

Yes!

211

Are you okay?

212

Young Master!

213

Medical Sage Yi, how is the young master?

214

Don't worry, Commander Han. His Highness's wounds are not deep. He just lost lots of blood.

215

His life is not in danger. He just needs rest.

216

Thank you, Doctor. When will he wake up?

217

I have already used my needles on him. He will be awake within two hours.

218

Thank you, Doctor.

219

As long as His Highness is okay, then it's good.

220

Commander Han, where is Zhu brat? May I see her?

221

Zhu brat?

222

The Princess you were talking about.

223

About that, I can't make decisions without the Prince's order.

224

Forget it. It will take him a while to wake up.

225

It's okay. I will go to the Xiaojin Ku (Gold Cave) to gamble first. I will come back later.

226

Commander Han, the Provincial Magistrate Du of Xichu seeks for an audience.

227

He invites you and the Commandery Prince to recuperate in his manor.

228

Tell the magistrate that all the decisions will be made after His Highness awakes.

229

Princess, you are awake! I just made soup for you. Drink it while it's still hot.

230

Where is Chen Yu?

231

Don't worry, Princess. I just got a message from Commander Han

232

saying that the young master is okay. He is on his way back.

233

It's good that he's fine.

234

I didn't expect you to be alive, Princess.

235

If the Seventh Prince knew, he would be so happy.

236

Right, who was the young lord with you earlier?

237

Even though he knocked you out, I think that he cares about you very much.

238

Is he your lover?

239

He is not! I have no relations with him whatsoever.

240

[Zhu's Silk Store]

241

Chief Steward Shou, is there any news from Miss?

242

I spent so much money, but I didn't get any information.

243

What do we do then?

244

- How much money do we have in the store?

- We have ten thousand taels left.

245

Give me five hundred taels. I need to go to the Xiaojin Ku.

246

I heard that the exterminating troops already took off. If I want more accurate news,

247

I will need to spend more money. Send a message back home.

248

We can't hide it from Grand Master Zhu anymore.

249

Ask Grand Master Zhu to send five hundred thousand taels of silver here to Xichu.

250

Yes.

251

Come! Come!

252

Stick with your bets! Stick with your bets! Open!

253

4-4-6, big!

254

Come! Stick with your bets!

255

Young Master, I've sent out the post for hiring like you asked.

256

Within two days, all the good fighters within the Xichu border will be gathering at Mingyue Villa.

257

What about the remaining forces of Liu Mingyue in Mingyue Villa?

258

They have been informed. They are waiting for your call.

259

Madam Yu, I have another thing for you to do.

260

Speak away.

261

Come! Come!

262

Hurry!

263

I'm betting small!

264

Stick with your bets! 2, 1, small!

265

I won! I won! I said it was small.

266

You were right!

267

That's a lot.

268

Put down your bet!

269

- Stick with your bet!

- So lively.

- Let's play.

270

Make your bet! The more you bet, the more you win!

271

- Quick! Quick! Make your bets.

- Make way.

272

What brought you here, Officer?

273

We just exterminated the bandit's base camp. Our superiors gave us rewards.

274

Since I'm doing nothing, I came here to idle my time away. Come.

275

What did you say? You have exterminated the bandits' base camp?

276

- What? You don't believe me?

- No, of course, I do.

277

You two have worked hard. Here. That's for getting some tea for you.

278

- You guys enjoy! I'm going!

- Don't leave!

279

- Don't go! You were winning!

- Excuse me, My Lord.

280

Madam Yu?

281

My Lord still remembers me.

282

However, I don't remember you.

283

Who doesn't know the owner of the Xiaojin Ku?

284

- I am Sima Shou.

- Lord Sima is good at gambling, which I admire.

285

Could you gamble with me before you leave?

286

Five hundred thousand taels for a bet. What do you say?

287

You really want to bet with me, Madam Yu?

288

It's lonely to be the best. It's rare to run into someone who is as good as you.

289

Of course, I would love to gamble with you. Don't you think the same, My Lord?

290

You are right, Madam Yu.

291

But Madam Yu, I do have an emergency to take care of.

292

How about I will come back when I have more time, Madam Yu?

293

Okay. I will be waiting.

294

Goodbye.

295

Secretary Wang, I heard that the extermination was successful.

296

I wonder if My Lady was rescued or not?

297

We didn't find Miss Zhu in the bandit's base camp.

298

You didn't find her?

299

Young Lord Dongfang?

300

Chief Steward Shou!

301

I can't believe that I ran into you here.

302

Right. It seems that I'm destined

303

- to run into you.

- That's true.

304

But I have important matters to take care of today. I don't have time to catch up with you.

305

- I will buy you drinks some day.

- See you.

306

Wait, Young Lord Dongfang!

307

What's the matter, Chief Steward Shou?

308

Young Lord Dongfang, please excuse me. I want to know

309

if you know where Our Lady is.

310

How could I know where she is? I'm not related to her.

311

Lady Zhu and I got separated in Longhu Mountian.

312

Lady hasn't come back. I thought it must've been Big Beard Ma who abducted her.

313

But the base camp was exterminated today, yet they didn't

314

find lady in the base camp.

315

You've been following us.

316

Have you run into Lady Zhu?

317

Lady Zhu is missing?

318

If she wasn't abducted by Big Beard Ma, could she have had some kind of accident in the desert?

319

Lady Zhu doesn't know how to fight. How could you lose her?

320

Tell me. What should we do?

321

You... You really didn't run into Our Lady?

322

You've been avoiding me. How could I run into her?

323

What should I do?

324

How am I going to face the Grand Master when I get back to the manor?

325

I lost Lady Zhu!

326

You... Why are you laughing? If it wasn't for you,

327

if it wasn't for avoiding you, would she come to Xichu?!

328

If... If we didn't come to Xichu, would she have gone missing?!

329

Don't blame me for it.

330

But if you want to save your lady,

331

I can think about helping you.

332

Really?

333

Even if I'm lying to you,

334

do you still have someone you can trust?

335

Wrong.

336

You just said that

337

you don't know where she is. It's only been a quick second,

338

and you can help me find Our Lady?

339

Don't tell me that you knew where she was to begin with

340

and you messed with me on purpose.

341

I was just joking. Who knew that you were so trusting.

342

It's just that you look so funny when you cry,

343

which put me in a better mood. I will forget about our past grudges.

344

About her... she wasn't abducted by the bandits.

345

A pervert took her.

346

I can go rescue Your Lady.

347

But you will have to write a letter of authorization.

348

Your Lady is avoiding me like avoiding a thief.

349

Even if I saved her, I don't think she would come with me.

350

You are lying to me again, Young Lord Dongfang.

351

If a pervert took away Our Lady, how could you not go save her?

352

- Tell me, do you have Our Lady or not?

- You are overthinking it.

353

Why do I have to go rescue her? She never wanted to marry me.

354

Why do I have to be patient and go rescue her?

355

Why are you willing to help me now then?

356

Because I see her as a business. We are businessmen.

357

If you want me to go save her, you will need to pay me.

358

Okay. As long as you are willing to go save her, money will not be a problem.

359

So straightforward.

360

But I'm not cheap.

361

Just name your price, Young Lord Dongfang.

362

- How much is that?

- One million taels.

363

If you can't afford it, then forget it. She is the lady of the Zhu Manor anyways.

364

The Zhu Manor will try every way to save her.

365

I don't have to go through the trouble and save her.

366

I just don't know if she has been sold to a brothel the past couple days that she was abducted.

367

Wait, Young Lord Dongfang!

368

One million taels and nothing more.

369

But I will have to say this first.

370

I asked for your help because I am desperate.

371

If you break your word and can't save Lady Zhu,

372

don't even mention the one million that you are not going to get,

373

I would even risk my life to kill you.

374

[Zhu Shou]

375

As long as Zhu Zhu comes back unharmed,

376

Zhu Manor promises to pay Dongfang Shi one million taels of silver.

377

Or else, Zhu Shou will chop off a hand.

378

But if Dongfang Shi can't save Zhu Zhu,

379

Dongfang Shi will need to chop off a hand.

380

Zhu Shou, it seems that other than fat, you also have some brain.

381

Now, I will have to go save Zhu Zhu.

382

Are you afraid to stamp your finger print on it?

383

Why not?

384

If you want me to save her, you have to pay half the money first.

385

Don't worry, Young Lord Dongfang. I will send the deposit to your manor tomorrow.

386

Please save Our Lady as soon as you can.

387

You need to pay me first.

388

Since Young Lord Dongfang insists on having the five hundred thousand taels deposit now, please follow me.

389

Zhu brat, you want to pay me back?

390

- No way.

- Princess! Princess!

391

- Where are you going?

- I'm going to House of Zhu's store in Xichu.

392

I haven't talked to them for such a long time. Zhu Shou must be worried sick.

393

How do you have anything to do with the House of Zhu?

394

It's a long story. I will tell you another time.

395

Princess, per the young master's order,

396

you need to rest here. Just leave everything

397

to me.

398

That works, too. Then, you go to House of Zhu's silk store.

399

Tell Zhu Shou that the lady is back and have him come to me.

400

Okay. I will go tell him now.

401

Xiao Liu, why is Liu Qingwu here?!

402

That...

403

Is Zhangqing inside? I want to see him!

404

Miss Liu? What are you doing here?

405

There is only one hotel in this place. I've been waiting for Zhangqing.

406

- I want to see him.

- Miss Liu!

407

Zhangqing!

408

Chen Yu!

409

What's going on?

410

His Highness is out of danger.

411

Also, he has taken some medicines and will be awake soon.

412

- You are not lying to me this time, right?

- I wouldn't dare.

413

She is not my father's daughter, so we are not siblings.

414

Xiao Liu, take Liu Qingwu to the authorities right now.

415

Liu Mingyue is the leader of the bandits. Mingyue Villa must have something to do with the bandits.

416

Have them investigate Mingyue Villa as soon as they can. They must have lots of secrets.

417

Princess, Miss Liu is now the young master's friend.

418

I've already given up my evil ways. I'm Zhangqing's people now.

419

Mingyue Villa is also at Zhangqing's disposal.

420

Liu Mingyue is the one ganging up with the bandits. Not me.

421

Xiao Liu, this woman is not the Seventh Prince's daughter.

422

She is not a princess. She lied to all of you.

423

If I'm not, are you?

424

Miss Zhu, we just met in the desert.

425

You told me that you were the granddaughter of the House of Zhu.

426

You only look like the princess.

427

Today, you pretended to be the princess

428

while Zhangqing is in a coma. What are you up to?

429

I am both the granddaughter of the House of Zhu and the princess.

430

A couple of days ago, it was just inconvenient to tell you the truth.

431

I don't believe you. You are planning on something evil.

432

Miss Liu, what are you doing?

433

You need to lock her up. I'm afraid that she is going to hurt Zhangqing.

434

Miss Liu, don't you worry. His Highness has reiterated that I need to protect the Princess before he lost consciousness.

435

Yes. Yes.

436

Zhangqing must have been bewitched by her. Do not believe her.

437

What a good talker and a liar you are.

438

I think you are trying to kick me out or kill me before Chen Yu wakes up.

439

Let me tell you. I don't die easily.

440

Do you really believe people can easily come back to life?

441

- She is a monster. If you don't kill her now, she will cause more trouble.

- Qingwu...

442

Stop messing around.

443

Young Master.

444

Go back to Mingyue Villa. I've said to you many times back at the hotel

445

that we will stop working together from now on. We will not have any relation in the future.

446

Leave.

447

- Go back to Mingyue Villa!

- Yes!

448

[Hotel]

449

Hua Buqi, I will make you die again.

450

Have you sent people to Xiaoqiu Woods yet?

451

I've sent all the secret guards.

452

Good. You may leave us now.

453

Also, you will only call her MIss Zhu from now on. Don't ever mention the princess matter.

454

Yes!

455

Xiao Liu, don't forget to go to the silk store and inform Zhu Shou.

456

Princess... Don't worry, Miss Zhu. I'm on it.

457

Commander Han, how did the princess turn into Miss Zhu?

458

I know it. The Seventh Prince must've gotten the wrong daughter.

459

- No wonder the young master...

- Shut up.

460

Haven't you caused enough trouble with that mouth of yours?

461

Why aren't you on your way to sending the Princess' message?

462

Lie with me for a while.

463

Why should I lie with you? I'm not Liu Qingwu.

464

You are still jealous?

465

Didn't I just drive her away?

466

Xiao Liu was defending her like that.

467

It seems that you guys had a special relationship before I came.

468

What is it? Did I touch your wound?

469

- Where? Where?

- Right here. Right here.

470

Don't move. Let me hold you for a little longer.

471

- You were pretending.

- That's impossible. It was real.

472

Buqi, you are very pretty today.

473

What a smooth talker.

474

Are you still in pain?

475

[Zhu's Silk Store]

476

Is Zhu Shou here?

477

Young master, Miss Zhu, people from the House of Zhu are here.

478

Come in.

479

Please.

480

Greetings to Your Highness.

481

- Get up.

- Thank you, Your Highness.

482

Where is Zhu Shou?

483

Replying to Lady Zhu, Chief Steward Shou went to the XIaojin Ku.

484

He had to gamble with Madam Yu there today.

485

Gamble?

486

Shouldn't he be looking for me

487

after we got separated? How could he go gamble with someone?

488

I don't know much about it either.

489

This afternoon, Chief Steward Shou came in in a hurry and told me that

490

he needs all the money in the store and another one million taels.

491

We don't have that much money.

492

Manager Shou said that he will think of something.

493

I was worried, so I followed him.

494

He seemed like he wanted to win one million taels from this Madam Yu.

495

One million taels? He must have been tricked.

496

- Xiao Liu, go get the carriage ready. I need to go to the Xiaojin Ku.

- Yes.

497

Please.

498

I will go with you.

499

It's okay. I can go by myself. You can just rest here.

500

I am worried about you going alone. I'm going with you.

501

- But your condition.

- It's okay. I'm fine.

502

Come inside! Come inside! Take care!

503

Customer, take care!

504

Yiliang Gambling House is a business of the House of Dongfang.

505

This Xiaojin Ku feels so similar with Yiliang Gambling House.

506

Don't tell me it has something to do with Dongfang Shi.

507

If that is so, that would be bad. Zhu Shou must have been tricked.

508

Is it your first time here?

509

We are looking for Dongfang Shi. Where is he?

510

So you are here to look for someone.

511

Our gambling house doesn't allow any fights or corrals.

512

We have a rule saying that we reject everyone who is here to look for people.

513

Please excuse us. I cannot look for someone for you.

514

We...

515

Greetings, Commandery Prince!

516

I'm only here to look for someone.

517

You may continue.

518

Get up.

519

I will get Madam Yu to come see Your Highness right now.

520

It's okay. Just take me to her.

521

Yes.

522

Your Highness is so powerful.

523

It seems that it is better to have a prince with me.

524

Lord Sima, I've already passed you by six points.

525

We have one last round. Are we still doing this?

526

Zhu Shou, it seems that you can't give me five hundred thousand taels

527

and you still have to pay the gambling house five hundred thousand taels.

528

Madam Yu, Commandery Prince is looking for a Young Lord Dongfang in our gambling house.

529

Miss, I've finally found you!

530

Where did you go?

531

Are you okay? Are you hurt?

532

I'm okay. But you surely must have been tricked.

533

Me?

534

Zhangqing, I didn't expect you to be able to walk by now.

535

I saw that you were hurt badly. I assumed that you would have to be in bed for a couple of days.

536

Sorry for disappointing you, Young Lord Dongfang.

537

I am indeed a bit disappointed.

538

I've never been played like this ever since I was a kid.

539

You and Miss Zhu are pretty in sync.

540

You two pretended to be meeting for the first time in front of me.

541

And I even believed it?

542

Miss Zhu and I did just meet.

543

It's just that, Miss Zhu really looks like an old friend.

544

So I fell in love at first sight.

545

As for Miss Zhu...

546

I also fell in love at first sight.

547

I understand now.

548

Young Lord Dongfang, so you've seen My Lady beforehand.

549

You also knew that she was with the Commandery Prince.

550

But you lied to me saying that Our Lady was abducted by a pervert.

551

You made me scared and worry so much,

552

so I had to sign that agreement for one million taels.

553

Zhu Shou,

554

you are wrong. You clearly begged me first.

555

Not only that,

556

I think this bet is also arranged by him.

557

When I heard that you were gambling hard in the Xiaojin Ku from the store manager,

558

I didn't get it.

559

Now that I see Dongfang Shi present in this special guest room,

560

I am more convinced that this place and Yiliang Gambling House

561

are both owned by your House of Dongfang, right?

562

Yiliang Gambling House and Xiaojin Ku are both owned by your family?

563

That's right, they are our businesses.

564

Madam Yu,

565

based on this information, you should have gotten orders from Dongfang Shi

566

a long time ago to gamble with me, right?

567

Luring me into this trap, you're hell bent on eating me.

568

The young lord said that

569

Chief Steward Zhu made five hundred thousand taels in the Yiliang Gambling House.

570

The young lord doesn't like when House of Zhu takes money from his business,

571

so I invited Chief Steward Shou to gamble,

572

so we can win some of it back.

573

I'm not gambling with you then!

574

I didn't expect that the distinguished House of Zhu

575

couldn't even lose five hundred thousand taels.

576

But Chief Steward Zhu, the bet has started.

577

If you don't go through with it, you will still have to pay me five hundred thousand taels.

578

You...

579

- Zhu Shou, what agreement did you sign with them?

- I...

580

You didn't save me. This doesn't count.

581

Zhu brat, you are so unappreciative.

582

I risked my life to save you from the bandit's base camp.

583

You forgot about it this fast?

584

Who can prove that you did?

585

Also, why don't you say that

586

I wasn't caught by the bandit in the first place if it wasn't for you.

587

Good. Read this agreement closely.

588

It didn't say that I had to be the one saving you.

589

Even if you don't admit that I saved you,

590

it's enough as long as you escaped from the bandits

591

and come back in one piece.

592

You are shameless.

593

My Lady, I was desperate, that's why I was muddled and got tricked by him.

594

Stop talking.

595

I know that you signed this to save me.

596

But what do you mean by coming back unharmed?

597

Zhu brat, do you have any wounds on you?

598

Nope.

599

Then you are unharmed.

600

But I'm no longer a virgin, does that mean I'm unharmed?

601

Are you okay, Young Lord?

602

Those bandits touched you?

603

Calm down a little.

604

To be honest,

605

before running into you before the desert, I was abducted by the Lotus Robe Knight.

606

He...

607

Miss Zhu, you can't casually say those things.

608

A woman's reputation is the most important.

609

But if you did have something with the Lotus Robe Knight,

610

I'm the Commandery Prince of Dongping after all.

611

I will seek justice for you.

612

How?

613

Zhu brat,

614

do you think I will believe what you said?

615

Madam Yu, get them out of here.

616

Yes, Young Master.

617

Why are you people getting so nervous?

618

I was just asking.

619

What's "unharmed"?

620

I initially was planning to be with the Lotus Robe Knight,

621

but he was messing around out there. I have to think about it.

622

It seems that you did come back unharmed.

623

Zhu Shou, you need to give me back one million taels right now, or you will need to chop off one arm.

624

- I choose to chop off my arm.

- Good.

625

What are you talking about?

626

I will pay for it.

627

Commandery Prince of Dongping is indeed so rich.

628

Even though I don't care about the money,

629

if you want to be the hero,

630

then I will take the money.

631

But don't forget, Zhu Shou, other than the one million taels,

632

you still owe five hundred thousand to the gambling house.

633

What do you mean he owes the gambling house five hundred thousand taels? It's not like he gave up.

634

Zhu Shou, gamble with her.

635

Didn't you say that you can win everyone in the south?

636

I don't believe that she can beat you.

637

This... I...

638

What?

639

Don't tell me you have lost already.

640

Almost.

641

What do you mean almost? Winning is winning. Losing is losing.

642

I was rolling the dice with Madam Yu, with the highest number winning.

643

We did five rounds.

644

But Madam Yu has passed me by six points.

645

Isn't it just rolling the dice? How could you lose?

646

Are you people cheating?

647

We tested the dice together.

648

Xiaojin Ku has been around Xichu for years.

649

If we make our money by cheating,

650

why do we even do the business?

651

You don't know this, but this dice is not a normal dice.

652

Madam Yu and I cracked the dice first,

653

increasing the difficulty, before we started our bet.

654

These past years, I've been working on all kinds of stuff in Zhu Manor,

655

so I haven't been practicing. Hence, I accidentally

656

got passed by six points.

657

So we still have a chance.

658

Still?

659

Madam Yu, our lady said that

660

since we are gambling, let's bet on something big.

661

Or else, it would be too much trouble for us to win five hundred thousand taels from you and then still pay him one million taels.

662

It's too much.

663

How about we just gamble for one million taels?
