Chapter 375: Fighting Violence and Protecting the Good

The words "self-satisfied" were written on Prince Duan's chin: "The gambler is here, are you willing to treat the old princess?"

"Ah..." Before Zhou Chang could react, Jiang Meng exclaimed, "Yes, Your Highness Prince Yi, even if Master Xuanyang arrived, I heard that he has never been afraid of the powerful and has even sworn..."

"Brother Jiang, rest assured," Zhou Chang did not allow Jiang Meng to continue to think nonsense, "If the person is willing to come, he will definitely be treated. If he is not willing to be treated, he will definitely not come."

"Your Highness is so sure?" Jiang Meng's already anxious heart became even more worried.

"Snapped……"

Zhou Chang slammed the table and said, "It's settled. The premise is that Taoist Yun Huazi is in Chaotian Temple outside Jindu City today. If he is not here, it doesn't count. If he is here and I invite him to treat the old princess, I win."

Prince Duan was shocked, wondering if he had been fooled again.

"Human lives are at stake. It's not a good idea for Your Highness Prince Yi to bet on the Marquis's family affairs at this time." Duke Gu Yan of Xu looked worried and asked, "Besides, if we can't see him, how can we be sure that he is or is not in Chaotian Temple?"

"If you're worried, you can rush over and confirm it now. Any way is fine." Zhou Chang leaned back in his chair with his arms folded.

"Snapped……"

King Xian also slapped the table and said, "Okay, I'll send someone to keep an eye on it right away."

"That's great. I trust Brother Xian Wang. Brother Xian Wang also wants to bet 10,000 taels? Or you can increase the bet a little more." Zhou Chang's phoenix eyes curved and he smiled like a fox.

"Hmm?" King Xian tilted his head to show that he was not completely stupid yet.

"Brother Prince Duan, you are not going to go back on your word again, are you?" Zhou Chang saw Prince Duan raising his chin out of the corner of his eye, as if he wanted to say something, so he was about to cover his mouth.

Prince Xian shouted to Prince Duan: "Oh, my brother, why are you hesitating? You are a real man. It's just 10,000 taels of silver. We are still brothers this time, so what are you afraid of?"

Most of the people who stayed in the main hall were important officials of the court. Even if Prince Duan wanted to go back on his word, he couldn't because of his face, so he had to nod.

At this moment, the servant brought up the roast chicken.

Zhou Chang rubbed his hands, went up to break the chicken leg, took a big bite, chewed it vigorously, and said incoherently: "It's settled. Thank you two royal brothers for your willingness to give money to me."

So everyone watched Zhou Chang eating and drinking and waited for more than an hour.

When Yun Huazi was invited in, Zhou Chang was eating the second chicken leg of the second roast chicken.

Yuan Huazi was wearing a black and gold Taoist robe with a dark veil, a crescent moon embroidered on the front, and a Tai Chi Liuhe crown on his head. He had an immortal look, white hair and a youthful face. He walked in to be greeted by Jiang Meng.

Zhou Chang spat out the chicken bones, then waved the remaining chicken leg bones at Prince Duan and Prince Xian with a smug smile.

Prince Duan had a sinister look in his eyes and a gloomy face, but he pretended to be calm.

King Xian raised his head to show that it didn't matter.

Duke Gu Yan of Xu State went forward first, incredulous: "Senior Xuan Yang, is it really you?"

Yun Huazi half-lowered his eyes, ignored Duke Xi, and did not answer.

Zhou Chang found it funny in his heart. He could never forget the way he looked when he took off his hat. He threw away the chicken bone in his hand and stepped forward to greet him: "Master, thank you for taking this trip."

Yun Huazi still didn't raise his eyelids, and ignored him. He just turned his head and asked Jiang Meng: "Where is the patient?"

Jiang Meng went out to greet him personally, and he was also anxious: "Yes, my mother is in the back hall, Taoist priest, please come to the back hall."

Yun Huazi raised his foot and walked back.

Zhou Chang did not rush to catch up, but stopped in front of Prince Duan and Prince Xian and said, "Brother Prince Duan, Brother Prince Xian, how is it? I am willing to accept the loss. Now no one owes me 20,000 taels of silver."

"Hmph..." Prince Duan had nothing to say but to snort coldly.

Prince Xian still looked unconcerned: "Twenty thousand taels is twenty thousand taels. Considering your ability, I will send it to your residence tomorrow."

"You actually used me for gambling?" Yuan Huazi, who had already walked out of the main hall, turned back, finally opened his eyes, and glared at Zhou Chang fiercely.

The air suddenly dropped to freezing point.

"Uh..." Zhou Chang secretly blamed himself for being impatient, and could only grin, "I am eliminating violence and protecting the good, no, robbing the rich to help the poor..."

Yuan Huazi's eyes are not big, but they are like two sharp blades that can pierce into people's hearts.

For a moment, Zhou Chang was afraid that he would not treat the old princess because of his momentary frivolity.

After a long while, Yuan Huazi said nothing, turned around, shook off everyone, and went to the back house.

"Huh..." Zhou Chang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Who do you say is 'violent' and who is 'good'?" King Xian's big head blocked the way and asked again.

"I didn't say that, brother Xian Wang," Zhou Chang pushed away his big head that just reached his chest, "I said it before, you are 'rich' and I am 'poor'."

King Xian still refused to give in.

Zhou Chang pointed outside and said, "Oh, Duke Xu and Brother Jiang are all gone. Don't you two brothers want to go and take a look?"

Prince Duan had already followed, so Prince Xian had no choice but to give up.

After most of the people had left, Zhou Chang had not forgotten the skinny monkey. There was still half a roast chicken and a few plates of snacks left on the table.

The skinny monkey naturally understood.

Afterwards, Zhou Chang also went to the back hall with everyone else.

When I returned to the back hall, it was already pitch black.

The lights were on in the inner courtyard and even in the main hall at the back.

The women in the backyard had obviously received the news early, and they crowded half of the room, while the other half, separated by a bamboo curtain, was filled with men.

On both sides of the bamboo curtain, people were crowded under the light and candlelight.

Yun Huazi had apparently entered the inner room and disappeared.

Zhou Chang saw Yuan Qi through the opened bamboo curtain. Although the light was dim and she was behind the beautifully dressed women, Yuan Qi was still the most dazzling one.

He walked over without hesitation: "Did you eat well?"

Yuan Qi glanced at the oil stains on Zhou Chang's mouth that had not been wiped off, gave her a reproachful look, and took out his handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to her.

"What are you doing?" Zhou Chang took the handkerchief but didn't react.

Yuan Qi almost rolled his eyes: "Wipe your mouth, we don't have time to eat, we are all worried about the old princess's condition, and someone asked me if I know Taoist Yun Huazi."

"Oh..." Zhou Chang wiped his mouth with a silk handkerchief and asked, "Then your golden banana leaves can't be distributed?"

"Is this the time to think about this?" Yuan Qi rolled his eyes and pulled the person aside.

Zhou Chang felt wronged: "I'm just asking."

Anyway, she had no intention of “selling goods” with those golden banana leaves.

Yuan Qi sighed softly and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. You don't have to give it to them directly. Whoever came today doesn't have a carriage or a maid."

Zhou Chang secretly gave a thumbs up and couldn't help showing off to Yuan Qi: "I just won another 20,000 taels of silver."

"Your Highness is truly capable. He actually came to attend the birthday banquet." Yuan Qi said this faintly and then looked towards the inner room. It was unclear whether he was praising or insulting someone.

Zhou Chang didn't care. He had gained a lot today and was in a good mood. "Are you tired? Do you want to go back home and rest now?"

"How can we leave at this time? We have to wait until the old princess is safe and sound." Yuan Qi complained.
