Chapter 162: You Want A Punch? (VI)

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Jiang Pengji imdiately shut up when she was yelled at. She watched coldly as ng Liang continued to seek death. Who dared to go against him in ng County?

Even gambling dens in ng County were the sa. The bosses would try to appease him and he would always win quite a bit of money when he went. Because of that, ng Liang thought of himself as a god of gambling––but he was now at an impasse. They were in Hejian County, not ng County. There was no one around to appease him.

Nongqin hugged the money closer to her. When she heard the amount, she paled.

“Langjun, this...” If they continued losing, she would not be able to leave with her Langjun.

“Don’t worry; this is a sham.” Jiang Pengji snorted. How would she not know what the gambling den is planning? Or rather, that was what she had planned.

ng Liang lost while she won, and what was the inevitable connection?

ng Liang was the ngs’ son. He always had the best, whether it ca to food or clothes. His mother was ng Zhan’s favorite concubine, and also the one who controlled the household. Naturally, he could have whatever he wanted. His monthly allowance had so much excess that it was frightening.

His bets were always at least in the hundreds, and sotis, they would even hit the thousands.

No one dared to win against him. Even if they did, ng Liang would bring his retainers with him to their house. He brought disasters with him wherever he went.

For the current round, he had bet a thousand fine silver. Jiang Pengji gave a cold smile when the dealer smiled like a cat caught the canary.

“This Langjun here has accumulated a few thousand taels of debt. We are a small shop. If you can’t pay after you’re done, won’t we be losing out?” The dealer was putting on an act. He was trying to make it seem like he wanted ng Liang to stop betting, but he was actually firing him up to play more.

ng Liang smiled slyly. The dealer didn’t think he could afford it? What a laugh! How could they not know who he was?

“What are you blabbering about? Bet or no bet? Don’t be snobbish. You think I’ll try to take advantage of you over this bit of money?” ng Liang smacked the table in annoyance. If it were not for his expensive clothes and handso looks, he would have looked like a city hooligan.

The dealer did not even get angry with what ng Liang had said. Instead, he smiled.

“Of course I can tell that your upbringing is different from ours. However, how would we know if you can produce real gold and silver? You’ve been flapping your gums and we have not seen any silver from you. If you do win, we will be the ones giving you real silver.”

ng Liang was furious. If he were still in ng County, nobody would dare to treat him like that.

Even though he was angry, ng Liang truly did not have any fine silver on him. When he thought of that, he was even more infuriated.

When the dealer saw that ng Liang could not produce any money, he gave a cold sigh.

“If you don’t have any money, then don’t co in here pretending you are rich. This is a gambling shop, not a charity hall. You have to pay your debts with money, as is the principles of heaven and earth. Scram. If you have no money, just say so. Don’t give any fibs!”

After saying that, a few strong n in coarse hemp clothes surrounded ng Liang. At that mont, ng Liang was choking with rage from the dealer’s words.

When he had lost continually, he had to put a lid on his emotions. Then the dealer provoked him with his words and obviously scorned him. How could a spoiled brat like ng Liang withstand such a thing?

In the past, he could kill the peasants who dared to go against him.

ng Liang was not known for being patient or tolerant.

At that mont, Jiang Pengji figured that enough was enough and had stepped forward to try and stop him. In actual fact, she was fanning the flas. She appeared to be very troubled and charitable when she said, “Cousin, don’t fuss over the details with the common folk. Xi still has so taels...”

ng Liang’s eyes were bloodshot with anger. He glared at her as though he was looking at his enemy. He lifted a hand and pushed her away. “Do you know who am I? Peasants! If you dare touch , then try it!”

ng Liang was no longer able to remain logical from the provocations he was receiving on all sides.

When the dealer heard his prideful words, he gave a cold sigh and ridiculed him. “I don’t care if your mother is a dragon or a tiger. Since you’re here, you better obey our rules! You can’t even bring out the money and you dare to create a scene!”

ng Liang looked at the n closing in on him and yelled, “Get lost peasants! I am a descendant of General ng! You dare touch ?” ng Liang’s face was flushed with anger when he slapped a guard’s hand away. “ng Zhan is my father!”

Got it! Jiang Pengji watched the scene unfold with a smile. ng Liang had said the most important words.

“Who the hell is ng Zhan? I have not heard of him!” The dealer laughed while he pointed at ng Liang. “You brat, you still dare to say you’re General ng’s descendant? You can’t even afford your own bets and you claim to be his descendant? Grab him!”

Nongqin turned pale imdiately as the strong n moved towards her and her Langjun.

Crash!

Before Nongqin could regain her senses, the man reaching towards her flew away with a strong hit. He crashed into the next table and the silver taels clattered to the floor.

Everyone froze. What... just... happened?

Jiang Pengji quickly drew her leg back and smirked. “Don’t bully my page boy. He’s still young.”

She had kicked the man. It had happened so fast that no one could react.

“What are you standing around for? Let’s go!” Jiang Pengji pulled a long fan from her sleeve and hit another man’s face, drawing blood.

ng Liang quickly regained himself, but he did not want to leave just like that.

“If you peasants dare make a move, I’ll send the ng army for your hides!”

The people were dumbfounded by Jiang Pengji’s actions but ng Liang, the ignorant fool, worsened things with his provocations. None of the n cared if the three of them were nobility or not––they were now out for their blood.

Jiang Pengji was skilled, and even with Nongqin hindered her movents, she could still take the n out easily.

Due to her attire, however, she could not use much of her legs to fight and had to rely on her arms.

Would anyone be able to stand up against her? Soone who had undergone special training? If things did not go her way, she could easily dislocate the other’s joints.

When the gamblers on the first floor noticed the disturbance, they quickly grabbed the taels off the table and made their leave in the midst of the confusion.

Other gamblers thought the sa and within a second, the whole place turned chaotic.

Jiang Pengji went to protect Nongqin; she did not really care about ng Liang.

ng Liang ca to his senses from the chaotic scene before him. His cheeks turned pale and he looked battered and exhausted. What made him uneasy was, when he was about to leave the place, Jiang Pengji’s voice sounded in his ears.
