After Meng Te was driven away, the room fell silent.
The five men stared at each other, the atmosphere a little awkward.
Long Feicheng suggested, "There's still some time before dawn, why don't we play Dou Dizhu?"
Han San raised his hand, "I second that."
Weng Qianxiang yawned, "I'm too sleepy, I'll go get some rest. You guys go ahead."
Long Feicheng and Han San looked at Yan Shouyi, then at Wei Changqing. Both of them knew Wei Changqing was not to be trifled with, so they turned to Yan Shouyi.
Yan Shouyi shook his head, "Someone has to keep watch. You guys play with Kang Jinlong."
Han San said guiltily, "To be honest, I'm a bit afraid of him."
"I am too," Long Feicheng admitted, never pretending when he could back down.
They both knew Wei Changqing's background. Although they had a good time today, they had been secretly wary of Wei Changqing.
However, they later thought that with Wei Changqing's abilities, if he wanted to kill them, they would have no power to resist.
Thus, they no longer cared.
But the situation was different now. If they were lucky and won against Wei Changqing, what if Wei Changqing, in a fit of rage, silenced them?
Seeing their cowardice, Yan Shouyi proactively asked Wei Changqing, "Kang Jinlong, do you want to play cards?"
Long Feicheng quickly said, "It's alright if Senior wants to rest!"
"Right, right, playing cards isn't a good thing either..."
Wei Changqing said indifferently, "I'll play."
The smiles on Long Feicheng and Han San's faces froze instantly.
My God, he's actually going to play?
Yan Shouyi laughed heartily, pushed the two towards Wei Changqing, and said, "The three of you go play, I'll watch out for you."
The two stood sheepishly in front of Wei Changqing, the atmosphere as awkward as watching an adult film with one's father.
Most of the guests at this small inn liked to play cards, so there were two brand new decks of cards in the room. With no other choice, the two had to brace themselves and play cards with Wei Changqing.
As the three shuffled and drew cards, Long Feicheng silently prayed that he would draw a bad hand, so he could legitimately lose to Wei Changqing and not anger the big shot.
However, after arranging his cards, he was stunned.
The Big and Small Jokers, four 2s, four 1s, and a straight of 78910JQK!
This is truly...
Long Feicheng quietly closed his cards, swallowed, and discreetly observed Wei Changqing's expression.
Wei Changqing's expression was exceptionally grim at this moment.
"It's over, it's over. His hand must be terrible. If I win against him, won't he kill me?"
Long Feicheng's mind raced, and he looked at Han San. As expected, Han San also had a look of fear on his face.
Wei Changqing snorted coldly, "Han San, do you call landlord?"
Han San quickly shook his head, his head bobbing like a rattle drum.
The pressure then shifted to Long Feicheng.
Long Feicheng weakly asked, "Can I... can I call?"
Wei Changqing took a deep breath.
"I I I I won't call!" Long Feicheng shouted.
Wei Changqing lowered his head, glanced at his cards, and sighed, "Forget it, I'll call."
The three bottom cards were 5, 6, and 9. Wei Changqing, with a dark expression, picked them up and threw out the smallest card, a 3, saying, "A 3."
"Can't beat it!" Han San immediately shouted.
Long Feicheng was dumbfounded.
Isn't this too obvious?
Indeed, playing cards is not about cards, but about human relationships!
He looked at Han San, then at his own cards, and said with a wry smile, "A 3 is indeed too big, pass, pass!"
Yan Shouyi, who was watching the show, was laughing so hard he could barely breathe.
Wei Changqing said helplessly, "My soul is constrained by Lin Zitong, so I won't make a move against you. Don't be so wary of me. Just play as you normally would."
This was the first time Wei Changqing had spoken so much. It was likely that Long Feicheng and Han San's bizarre behavior had made him speechless, forcing him to explain.
Long Feicheng asked, "You really won't kill us?"
"No."
"Then shall we play for money this round?"
"Let's play for five yuan."
"Got it!"
Long Feicheng stood up directly, stepped on the table, and shouted, "Four Aces!"
"Can't beat it, right?!"
"Four 2s!"
"Royal flush!"
"My final straight will send you back home!"
"Pay up, pay up, quickly!"
This sequence of moves was executed flawlessly, leaving Wei Changqing and Han San wide-eyed.
Back in Rongcheng, Long Feicheng was the man who could win money back from the young ladies. If nothing else, his luck was truly unmatched.
When Long Feicheng, after his moment of triumph, came back to his senses, he looked at Wei Changqing.
He saw Wei Changqing's face was gloomy, veins bulging on his forehead, and the cards in his hand were twisted and deformed.
"Gulp!"
Long Feicheng swallowed, a bead of cold sweat dripping down his forehead. "Uh... actually, I don't have to play like this..."
Wei Changqing put down his cards and said indifferently, "Again."
"Really, really again?"
"Yes!"
Wei Changqing seemed to be getting into it and immediately shuffled the cards to start the next round.
Seeing that Wei Changqing could take a loss, Long Feicheng and Han San also became bolder.
Then...
"Royal flush!"
"Airplane!"
"Straight!"
"Heh heh, I won again!"
Long Feicheng and Han San's luck was off the charts. In several rounds, Wei Changqing didn't even get a chance to play a card. Wei Changqing seemed to refuse to believe this and was determined to fight them to the death.
Yan Shouyi watched for a while, then returned to the window to keep watch. When he looked back, Wei Changqing already owed the two tens of thousands!
Long Feicheng put his arm around Wei Changqing's shoulder and said, "Old Wei, don't be discouraged. As the saying goes, misfortune in gambling leads to good fortune in love. After tonight's events, we'll treat you to a foot massage!"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Long Feicheng suddenly remembered that the person in front of him was Wei Changqing, and he immediately retracted his hand, saying honestly, "Actually, money is not important, the most important thing is to have fun..."
Wei Changqing sighed and said, "My luck is bad, I admit defeat. I'll give you the money later."
"Ahem, no, no, really no need!" Han San also repeatedly shook his head. Wei Changqing's money was even harder to take than dead men's money!
As the two were politely refusing, Wei Changqing seemed to sense something and said coldly:
"Someone's coming."
"Someone's coming? Who's coming?" Weng Qianxiang, who had been unmoving, suddenly woke up, putting on his pants as he shouted, "This is my old classmate, we're not what you think!"
Yan Shouyi sighed.
What kind of monsters and demons were in this room?
Also, Old Weng, you're not bad-looking, why would you go seeking prostitutes?
However, he didn't have time to criticize them.
When Wei Changqing said someone was coming, he naturally wasn't referring to anyone else but the person they were waiting for tonight.
Yan Shouyi glanced at the time. The clock on the wall had already struck two in the morning.
This was the time of day when the yin energy was at its strongest!
