Chapter 11 Casino (Part 2)
Behind the gambling tables, there is a table in charge, and there are men patrolling the surroundings from time to time. These men are dressed in black, and although they do not carry weapons openly, everyone knows that they are guarding the place.
Zhang Xuanning walked around aimlessly, and occasionally went up to join in the fun. There were many women here, all prostitutes, who sat around the gamblers, making coquettish noises and even touching them directly.
"It's almost done." Zhang Xuanning thought. Gui Xiliang was with him. Although he was a small gangster, he had never seen such a scene before. He looked around excitedly from time to time.
"Boss, that's really good ."
"Well, it's true. Real gambling without any fakery is the signature of the casino, but you see, there are also very good food and women here, look." Zhang Xuanning pointed to the compartment outside the hall. The door was open, but the aroma came out, and from time to time there was a woman's laughter: "The enjoyment of life is nothing more than eating, drinking and gambling, and it's all here."
"Boss, when our territory is big enough, we can open a few gambling dens and learn from you!" Gui Xiliang said excitedly, "Then we will have a lot of money."
Although I have never seen such a large casino, I have seen small ones. Of course, I know that nine out of ten people lose in gambling. If you run a casino, you will always win and never lose. After all the gambling, the ones who lose in the end are the customers.
Seeing several groups of his own people taking turns walking around the casino, Zhang Xuanning smiled and said, "We'll talk about this later. Let's go. We've seen enough. Let's go back."
After leaving the house, Zhang Xuanning said, "Let's go to the casino restaurant to buy some cooked food and pack it up for home. We brought some dry food but no food. We need to rest for a night and start the movement at the end of the night!"
"Okay, boss, I'll do it right away." Gui Xiliang was born a gangster, so he was of course familiar with this set of things. Not long after, he came back with two big bags of things.
The old man's home was a small courtyard with two rooms inside and outside. More than forty people filled the ground. However, after a month of military training, some results were seen, at least there was no noise.
"Is everyone here? Have you all been to the casino?"
"Everyone is here and has seen it." The group leaders responded.
"Well, let me tell you the situation. We have already mobilized the power at the government level. The Yamaguchi County government will not intervene directly. Of course, the pressure on the Haisha Gang is also very high. It is difficult for our various halls and even the headquarters to transfer a large number of personnel." Zhang Xuanning said simply.
"Master, why can't you transfer some personnel? With the strength of our headquarters and other halls, it shouldn't be difficult to wipe out the Qingyi Gang, right?" The speaker was Kou Zhong.
"If this happens, it will lead to a big fight between the two major gangs." Zhang Xuanning said, "No one dares to take such a result lightly, so this time, it will be a local fight between the Qingyi Gang and Yan Shudukou."
"I've already told Uncle Yan that my mission is to take down two subordinates of the Qingyi Gang. Of course, it depends on the situation. If I can accomplish one, it will be enough. If I can really accomplish two , it will be very remarkable. After all, we have only been in business for a short time, and they are veterans anyway."
"Master Xiang, please tell us how we should fight!" Xing Rong was the most resourceful of all the people. He stepped forward and asked, but in fact, he had already discussed this with him and had thought it over. It was just that he wanted to give the eldest brother a chance to show his wisdom and bravery in front of everyone.
This made Zhang Xuanning very satisfied. He nodded and smiled, then spoke with a serious face.
"... Let's take a rest first. We will start the fight between Yinshi and Maoshi. Once we start, we will rush straight to the casino and kill them all. Kill everyone in the casino as soon as possible. These are the core of Majiaji's military force. Once they die, the group will collapse. Even if Majiaji gathers another group of people, it will be in the future and will not be able to catch up with this battle." Zhang Xuanning said, "But don't forget, this is Majiaji's hometown after all. Once we are done, we must retreat quickly before dawn and cannot react in time. Once we are alone and surrounded, it will be a dead end. Do you understand now?"
"Master Xiang's plan is truly thorough and ruthless!"
"Yes, it's clean and neat, and it hits the mark." There was a clamor from the audience, and everyone expressed their agreement.
"Okay, everyone, eat now, and then go to sleep. Leave a few people to keep watch, and once the time comes, we'll take action!" After a moment of silence, Zhang Xuanning felt that it was about time, so he said so.
Watching each group spread out some clothes, blankets, and quilts on the ground to sleep for a while, he whispered, "Gao Zhandao, go and comfort these guys, there are some who are really going to the battlefield for the first time."
Gao Zhandao took a look and found that although half of the teenagers were talking and laughing, they were very nervous when you looked closely, and some of them even had shaking hands.
This is no wonder. Except for a few people who followed Zhang Xuanning to kill Boss Yan, the others were actually killing people in battle for the first time. Their nervousness is understandable. Besides, even if they killed Boss Yan before, it was in Yangzhou City. Now this is the enemy's territory, and the nature is completely different. Gao Zhandao nodded and said he would go down immediately.
He was a low-ranking officer and certainly knew how to comfort people. Therefore, it didn't take long for the tension of many people to ease off. After dinner, everyone lay down and were not allowed to talk to each other. Zhang Xuanning also closed his eyes and began to regulate his breathing.
No matter how difficult the time is, it will always pass. Although most people can't sleep and toss and turn, it finally arrives after the Yin hour.
"Okay, get up, put on your clothes, eat some dry food, and if you need to go to the bathroom, go quickly. Then prepare your weapons and tighten your shoes. Forget it, you and the old man, go out and see what the situation is?" Zhang Xuanning said.
"Yes, Master." Suan Si Cao pulled the old man out of the door. The poor old man hadn't slept all night and was old, so he was almost shaky. But at this time, the old man had no choice. The arrow was on the string and had to be shot. Even if the old man regretted it now, there was nothing he could do.
Although a few people were so nervous that they couldn't eat, they finally forced themselves to eat. After finishing the dry food and drinking water, everyone checked their weapons, especially bows and arrows. Gao Zhandao personally checked them one by one.
"Master, it's very peaceful outside. Most people are asleep. The village guards have also left. The gamblers have been up all night and are almost asleep too. Now is the right time." Not long after, Suan Si Cao and the old man came back.
"Go, kill the guards living at the door, and open the door, but don't open it directly. Ask a few brothers to wait there. Once something happens, open the door and be ready to respond." Zhang Xuanning said, "Also, old man, if you want to survive, get out immediately when we start."
"I'm almost done living and don't want to go out." The old man refused with red eyes.
"Okay, as you wish."
At this time, everything was ready, and everyone was staring at Zhang Xuan Ning. Zhang Xuan Ning raised his true energy, glanced at everyone, then opened the door and went out. The brothers behind him followed him silently.
At this time, it was the darkest time before dawn. Under the faint moonlight and stars, it seemed that the whole world had become unreal. Only the footsteps of more than forty people could be heard on the quiet street.
Zhang Xuanning smiled unconsciously.
For the first time, he deeply understood that he had finally bid farewell to his mediocre life and could let go and do what he liked.
Countless people can only live in reality, but only a few live in dreams, and only a very few can work hard to turn their dreams into reality.
Coming from reality and returning to reality, coming to this world is just like coming to the world of his dreams. Although this world is not in his control, it also makes him feel that he has no regrets in this life.
Turning his gaze to the opposite side, outside the huge gate of the casino, it was already as lively as the night. The lights inside and outside the gate were dim, and only one or two figures were doing something.
Zhang Xuanning uttered an order: "Kill, kill anyone you see, don't let anyone go."
The younger brothers who followed him all drew their weapons and rushed forward fiercely. Suddenly, the tranquility before dawn was broken.
Zhang Xuan concentrated his mind, calm as water, without any fear, as if he had become one with the surroundings. The killing intent was as sharp as a knife, so refreshing that it was truly a rare pleasure in life.
In an instant, he knew that his martial arts skills had been consolidated.
