Xinghua Village tavern, located on Jade Bridge Street to the west of the city, was a street full of taverns that was especially lively at night.
Unlike the world-famous Rouge Alley of Capital City, it wasn't people seeking romantic encounters and pleasures who gathered here, but rather those who truly loved to drink, with a majority of all sorts of characters, including many heavy drinkers.
Yan Qing and Qin Huan took their seats and ordered some wine and dishes. Then they began to drink leisurely amidst the bustle.
Qin Huan tentatively asked Yan Qing, "Brother Yan, there are rumors outside that you won one million five hundred thousand taels of silver at Bafang Gambling House, is there any truth to this?"
"Hmm, it's true."
Qin Huan expressed his admiration, "Brother Yan, you are really incredible. Could you teach me how to place secret bets?"
Yan Qing looked at him, "First off, you need to have the capital."
Qin Huan: "..."
Sorry to have bothered, he didn't have the capital.
