Chapter 227 Refreshing the Heat (10)

The "good place" that the woman said was an unusual place.

Ban Xiyu and Lou Xiyue paid attention to the direction, unexpectedly, after leaving the wing room, the woman led them through a corridor in the backyard, and then walked into a passage leading to the ground.

Although the underground passage is a little dark, it is not narrow or gloomy.It is due to the fact that this is the way to the underground darkroom, so the air is slightly humid.

The woman spoke out to remind them to pay attention to their feet, and then lit a lantern to illuminate the way ahead.

At the same time, Ban Xiyu and Lou Xiyue, who were following behind, felt even more suspicious - what kind of business was hidden in this inn to build such a dark room underground?

And as they gradually deepened, the sound from the depths of the passage became more and more obvious.Lou Xiyue listened carefully, and could hear shouts and cheers from afar.

The sound was even louder and louder than the market, even a little too loud.

Lou Xiyue carefully discerned for a while, and vaguely felt that the movement there was a bit like a casino.At first, she thought that she had made a mistake, but when she saw the real scene at the end of the passage, she realized that she was still naive.

Ban Xiyu's pace slowed down.She looked forward from the door in front of her, and saw an extremely spacious basement in front of her.

The room was loud and noisy, and in the center was a sunken pit surrounded by a fence.Outside the fence, there are countless spectators sitting around.

They looked at the fenced pit with excitement, shouting excitedly, "Go up, go up!", "Hit the left, go to the left!", "Good job! We're going to win, we're going to win!"...

The position they were standing in was not good. From her and Lou Xiyue's perspective, they couldn't see the whole picture of the pit.But from the few words of the spectators, it can be vaguely discerned that some kind of gladiatorial fight with special significance is probably going on in the pit.

Ban Xiyu had some vague guesses in her heart, but she still asked, "What's going on inside?"

Hearing this, the woman smiled mysteriously, and said: "This is the ingenious 'fun' of our 'Xunle Inn'!" She pointed to the front, and at the same time led people in, saying:

"The two guest officers must also know that in a small place like our Xunjiang Town, it is really not easy to find decent new fun."

At this time, Lou Xiyue came closer.Her eyesight was excellent, and when she looked from a distance, she could see two adult men beating each other in the sunken pit.

They played without any rules, relying entirely on brute force to fight recklessly.And she also heard the voices of spectators talking not far away:

"Ha, this kick is good, it hits the nail on the head! Tsk tsk tsk, yes, yes, it seems that I have a good eye tonight, and I can earn back the money I gave out with interest!"

Another person said unwillingly: "You are so proud! Now that the victory is not decided, it is still too early to judge the result! The No. 16 Wujin I bought is a potential stock. He is best at counterattacks and wins in one fell swoop. You wait Come on, don’t cry when you lose later!”

"Who is crying father and mother?! I think you should take it easy, but don't lose so much that you don't even have a pair of pants left."

……

Lou Xiyue understood and understood.She turned her head to look at the woman leading the way, and said, "Because there is no way to solicit customers, why did you set up this underground 'casino' with people as bait?"

The woman said "Ouch" and said: "That's not what I said. Although our inn has set up such a place, the spectators participating in the game and the people who will compete in the next game are all voluntary. .”

The woman took them to visit the scene: "Look at them, which one is not happy and full of interest?
"One of them spent money to buy an exciting performance of life-and-death struggle; the other party paid for his labor. Although he was beaten, he also received a generous amount of silver as a reward."

As she said that, the woman spread her hands and said, "Look, this is a good deal that you like and I want. We are just a helper in the middle. To be precise, we have done a good deed. Is not it?"

This self-excusing sophistry was so high-sounding that Lou Xiyue secretly sneered in her heart, but on the surface she did not reveal anything.She smiled and said:
"Hearing your explanation, I think it makes a lot of sense."

The woman covered her mouth and smiled: "Hey, as long as the guest officer is satisfied, what we can do is to make all the guests who watch the wrestling feel at home. This is also the purpose that our Xunle Inn has always regarded as the standard."

Ban Xiyu also smiled and said, "I see, it seems that you all have good intentions."

There was a touch of sarcasm in her tone, but the woman didn't hear it, but asked: "Are the two guests interested? You can play a game with a small stake first to see if it suits your taste, and then change to a big game." Just bet."

Ban Xiyu nodded and said: "We understand what you mean. But we want to take a look around first, and don't rush to make a decision—by the way, let's take a look around, is it okay?"

The woman said: "Of course there is no problem, please feel free to both of you. If you need anything, you can find me."

"Okay, thank you."

"Oh, you're welcome. If you have something to tell me, I'll leave now."

After the woman finished speaking, she immediately turned her head to greet other guests.

Lou Xiyue and Ban Xiyu watched each other walk away until they disappeared, and then went to a quieter corner together.

"Do you believe what she said?" Lou Xiyue asked: "In your opinion, this place is really just a wrestling casino?"

There was suspicion in her tone.As Lou Xiyue said, she turned her gaze to the noisy crowd not far ahead.

Ban Xiyu analyzed: "Of course I don't believe it. If there was nothing wrong with this casino, they wouldn't have built it underground, hidden in such a hidden place, and would have to spend a lot of money to get in.

"The entry requirements are so high, it would be strange to say that there is no ghost at all."

Lou Xiyue said: "Anyway, we have already arrived here, I would like to see what kind of mystery is hidden here—" In the slightly dark corner, her eyes were surprisingly bright:

"Tonight, let's catch the ghosts here!——"

Fu Guan and Wen Jisheng walked back along the way they came, and when they returned to Liuyun Tower, it was already past the originally agreed time.

Hearing Jisheng counting the sounds of shifting outside, he couldn't help asking in confusion: "Why is Miss Ban and Xiyue still not back at this time? We agreed to go out for an hour, what time is this!"

It stands to reason that Xunjiang Town is such a big place, and the water dragon dance has already ended.After watching the excitement and talking about their hearts, they should come back.

But at this moment, there were no signs of them inside or outside Liuyun Building.

Fu Guan also sensed that something was wrong: "Maybe they have already returned to the post house first - I ordered someone to ask for news..."

But a quarter of an hour later, there was a message from Xuan Miao: "Report to the lord, Wangfei, no, Miss Lou and Miss Ban are not in the post house. The guard reported that they never went back after they left the post house!"

Hearing this news, no matter how stupid Wen Jisheng was, he knew something was wrong.He couldn't sit still immediately, stood up and walked out: "Everyone is lost, why are we still sitting here waiting? Find someone!"

Fu Guan didn't have another word, so he could give orders: "Send people to find him quickly!"

Xuan Miao took the order: "Yes!"
