Chapter 335 Betting on Life
There are also people upstairs who are not afraid of trouble: "Stop talking nonsense, if you don't watch it, we will watch it."
"It's, it's..."
"Every time you see it, it's one less time."
"Don't waste time, start now."
……
Peng Liang was even more dissatisfied with being besieged, and pointed to the sky and said: "Who are you all? Why are you joining in the commotion? If you have the guts, just hand over the silver."
"Ping pong pong..." Peng Liang's friends at the table also started banging on the table to support Peng Liang.
Peng Liang patted his chest and glanced up: "Come down if you have the guts. My father is the Minister of War. I want to see who is making the noise tonight."
"Come down, come down..." Those bad friends are not afraid of trouble.
There was immediate silence above.
Amidst the noise, Liu E walked onto the stage again, wearing a long dress made of silver moon-like gauze.
The surrounding area suddenly became quiet.
Peng Liang's drunken eyes widened again, his eyes were fixed, he took out a handful of silver from his inner pocket, threw it out, and climbed onto the stage: "This is the deposit, I, I, want to deposit..."
"Manager..." Liu E dodged to the side and asked Manager Zhang for help.
Manager Zhang obviously did not dare to offend Peng Liang, so he could only pretend to stop him, but of course he could not stop him.
Peng Liang climbed onto the stage again and stumbled towards Liu E: "You are destined to be mine tonight..."
Liu E dodged repeatedly, her voice soft but firm: "Master Peng, you should go back and sit down. Liu E is selling her art but not her body."
"You won't sell it? Why not? It's only a matter of time..." Peng Liang grabbed left and right, and took out a handful of silver bills from his pocket and threw them over, "It's just that the silver is not enough. Tell me, how much do you want? Are these enough?"
"No, I don't want the silver..." Liu E's body was light and she dodged left and right like a frightened butterfly.
"Don't want it? Hehe, fine..." Peng Liang chased for a long time without catching anyone, and lost his patience. He straightened up and looked up at the two hanging silver-green silk ribbons, "No one has ever refused the money I give out. As long as you can live up to your name, and be a flying flower fairy who can fly down from the roof, you can still take these banknotes."
Liu E paused for a moment, but without much hesitation, she proposed her own conditions: "Okay, if that's the case, I don't want Master Peng's money. If I can complete the performance from the top of the beam and land, Master Peng will never mention buying me again from now on. How about that?"
Beam top?
Zhou Chang looked up.
Is this a gamble with your life?
Yaoyuefang has one underground floor and three above-ground floors.
Although it only has three floors, it has a square pointed roof, which is equivalent to the height of a fourth floor.
If a person falls from this height, he will either die or be disabled.
Although Peng Liang was a little drunk, he was not confused. He looked up at the beams on the roof and said, "Hey, Ayako still has to go up. If you can perform at the highest place and fly down after that, I will keep my word."
"How can this be done? If Ayako's hair is any shorter, it will affect the performance. Jumping from such a height could be fatal." However, Manager Zhang refused to do it. He might not be worried about Liu E, but the main reason was that if she really fell to her death, wouldn't it be the loss of a cash cow?
Liu E had already made up her mind: "Master Peng, do you mean what you said?"
"Hmph, let it be." Peng Liang glanced at the banknotes thrown on the stage, then glanced at Zhang Da, the shopkeeper, "She is willing, so why do you worry? These banknotes are enough to give her a rich funeral."
Manager Zhang shook his head and was about to go and persuade Liu E again.
Liu E, on the contrary, became even more resolute: "Don't persuade me, Master Shopkeeper. I am willing to take a gamble, but if I fall to my death, I will have to trouble you to carry me to the mass grave. If I am disabled, Master Shopkeeper, please give me a way out."
When these words were spoken, everyone in the room was shocked.
"Why is it so? How bad is Peng Liang?" Zhou Chang also shook his head.
Handan hugged her arm and said, "Your Highness, haven't you heard? Everyone in Jindu City knows that the son of the Minister of War is notorious for his playboy status. Not only is he famous for his lust, but he also has some perverted methods that can kill and maim countless people."
"What?" Zhou Chang was surprised. He couldn't help but look at Peng Liang, who looked like a real monkey. "Is there no one to take care of him like this?"
Yanyan sighed, "I heard that he already has a wife at home. He married his mother's cousin from her uncle's family, Xiao Jiang. Therefore, he is a henpecked husband like his father, but he dares to do so because he has his mother's protection. Although he dares not do anything in front of his mother and Xiao Jiang, the girls he bought were sent to an unknown place outside the city, and then they disappeared."
Zhou Chang couldn't do anything about this kind of pervert, so he could only worry about Liu E: "Does Liu E have the ability to jump from such a high place?"
Looking down, it is more than ten meters. If someone falls down, he will be disabled if not die.
Yanyan pursed her lips tightly and grabbed Zhou Chang's other arm. "I don't know. Miss Liu has never performed like this before. Although the last scene of 'Flying Fairy' requires a high altitude, it still depends on Lingzi to slide down."
While the three were talking, the two silver-green silk ribbons had been lifted off the ground, rising higher and higher.
Zhou Chang hesitated as to whether or not he should intervene, but Prince Yi really shouldn't get involved in this mess.
What's more, she came here today to rescue Yuan Qi and Wen Fei. Since she didn't encounter anyone, she could just relax and relax. Why would she cause trouble again?
According to factional divisions, the Peng faction, the Minister of War, should be closest to Xian Wang Feng Zheng, but is Xian Wang, that big-headed man, easy to mess with?
While I was thinking about it, "Boom, boom, boom..." the four drums sounded again.
Perhaps because of people who had heard the news or had rushed over temporarily, the lobby on the first floor had become crowded, and the corridors on the second and third floors were also filled with people.
Peng Liang had already returned to his seat, and was shouting to his friends: "Higher, not enough, higher..."
Zhou Chang couldn't help but wonder: "At such a high altitude, Lingqi has already reached the height of the second floor, how will Liu'e get up there?"
"Your Highness, look over there..." Handan pointed towards the opposite side through the window.
Zhou Chang looked for Liu E again, but she had disappeared, so he looked in the direction Handan had pointed.
At this moment, Lingqi's height rose to almost the same level as her eye level.
Zhou Chang raised his head to look at the beams, and in the blink of an eye he saw a silver figure flying out from the fence in the middle of the third floor and grabbing two pieces of silk.
"what……"
This caused a burst of exclamations from below.
Liu'e actually jumped directly into the air from the fence on the third floor, grabbing Lingqi with both arms.
It was three stories high, and even in the acrobatic performances I had seen before, there were always safety measures underneath, and the stage below was made of wooden boards, with nothing else.
Zhou Chang couldn't help but think of the night when she had just traveled through time. She had been in the same cabin with Liu E and Yang Jiao, and they had encountered that bear man at the same time.
At that time, Liu E was so weak that she almost got suffocated to death after struggling so hard.
Later, when I arrived at Yaoyuefang, I'm afraid life was not easy.
