Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress-Chapter 205: Going to the Casino (2)_1

"Hey, he fainted. Just because he lost a damn sword? Is it really that serious?"

"Why wouldn’t it be? They say that sword was passed down from Zhang Biaotou’s ancestors. It can cut through copper and iron without blunting, it’s sharp enough to slice through hair, and you won’t even see any blood when killing. Now that’s a rare treasure in this world. Losing it for no reason, how could Zhang Biaotou not be furious?"

"In my opinion, Zhang Biaotou is quite absurd. If it’s an ancestral treasure, why would he gamble it away? Besides, he’s an armed escort for a living. He lost his sword, who would hire him now?"

Upon hearing this discussion, someone in the know immediately chimed in: "Zhang Biaotou was forced to do so out of desperation. I heard that he took on a job last month to escort a shipment of ginseng for some Liaodan people. But on the way, they were intercepted by some mountain thieves. Just like that, forty to fifty thousand taels worth of ginseng was lost, and he alone had to cover the loss!"

"Although Wei Yuan Escort Agency is well-known in our Qingyun Town, they can’t possibly afford to lose forty to fifty thousand taels. I’ve heard that the Liaodan People sued him at the County Government Office. The Magistrate Li demanded Zhang Biaotou to pay the compensation before the end of the year, otherwise he and his fellow escorts are going to jail for robbery!"

"Oh, so that’s why. No wonder he gambled his ancestral treasure. But it’s such a pity, he’s really down on his luck. Loses the cargo he’s supposed to escort, and then loses the ancestral treasure sword, tsk tsk..."

Cai Wei stood quietly to the side, listening to the gambler’s gossip. She couldn’t help but look at the sword in the Second Master Lü’s hand.

The sword in his hand was dazzling and cold, strikingly impressive. It looked like spring ice from jade pond from afar, and like snow from the celestial terrace up close. The intricate patterns and the prodigious aura truly made it an unparalleled treasure!

Second Master Lü, having won this treasure, was grinning from ear to ear, squinting happily. Holding the sword, he awkwardly tried to show off some martial arts moves, looking as clumsy as a pregnant black bear. Egotistically anticipating the audience’s reaction, he was caught off guard when he noticed a tender and beautiful girl in the crowd.

The girl was only thirteen or fourteen years old, with a loose pendant cloud bun, wearing a light pink beizi embroidered with red chrysanthemums. Her face was cold but incredibly beautiful. Even if all the beauties in the casino were combined, they wouldn’t match even a tiny fraction of this young beauty.

Second Master Lü was stunned. He stood rooted to the spot, sword still held aloft, gazing at the young beauty, infatuation clear on his round face.

Cai Wei’s gaze observed the Second Master Lü’s infatuated expression then flit over to the shining blue sword. Suddenly, a notion emerged in her mind and she went and sat opposite to the Second Master Lü.

"Hehe, young beauty..."

When the Second Master Lü saw the maiden come and sit in front of him, he mistook it as the beauty being interested in him, which tickled him pink.

Looking at his obscene expression, Cai Wei rolled her eyes and said coldly, "Young Master, I want to gamble with you." freēwēbnovel.com

"Hehe, good, good, young beauty, what do you want to gamble? I will accompany you."

Second Master Lü eagerly agreed. Seeing the young beauty taking the initiative to engage him made him think he had a chance and he quickly consented.

Cai Wei pointed to the sword in his hand and asked, "we’re gambling on this sword. How much did Zhang Biaotou wager for it?"

Second Master Lü replied: "Three thousand... ah no... no, no money, no money, hehe..."

Cai Wei raised an eyebrow: "No money?"

Second Master Lü giggled: "That’s right, beauty, if you want the sword, we’ll gamble with different stakes. How about it?"
