Qi Zongxun is known as the first of the four great princes in Winter City. He is indeed personable, gentle and elegant. Although he was obviously irritated, when he saw Lu Ming and his entourage arriving in anger, he still managed to suppress his anger and smiled and shook hands with Lu Ming and others.
Jin Shanlong has a typical appearance from Jinzhou, with single eyelids, small eyes, and a somewhat sinister face.
The people of Haixi and Northern Xinjiang are mortal enemies. The main conflict actually comes from the Jinzhou people and the Qi family of Zhongzhou in Northern Xinjiang who once enslaved them. In order to gain freedom, the people of Jinzhou resisted for more than three hundred years. In the end, they migrated collectively. Went to Haixi.
People in Jinzhou are extremely hostile when they see anyone with the surname Qi, regardless of whether they are from Northern Xinjiang or not.
Not to mention that Qi Zongxun is the rightful owner. The conflict between the two today came from Jin Shanlong's naked provocation.
Lu Ming saw that Saburo Tojo meant to calm things down, and said that everyone should play together. The several projects he proposed were all games where the win or loss was not big, and each other could become partners to cooperate.
"Building golden flowers! Just tying golden flowers! The two of us were tying golden flowers!" Jin Shanlong rolled his eyelids, his face full of defiance.
He was lucky enough to win several games against Qi Zongxun.
Jinhua is one of the most exciting and gambling games, and it can easily turn into a duel between two people.
Tojo Saburo frowned slightly, but said nothing.
Qi Zongxun said calmly: "Yes, Master Jin and I haven't decided the winner yet."
Ren Jichang smiled at this time: "Otherwise, let's just try to win the first prize, which is almost the same as winning the gold medal."
Lu Ming did know that winning the first prize was a popular card gambling method in the Northern Territory, similar to how he filled holes in his previous life.
The general rule is to remove the small cards. For example, if there are four people, leave 10 to a, which is 20 cards, and each person is dealt 5 cards.
The first two are hidden cards that only the player can see, and the last three are cards invented one after another.
From the moment the first up card is dealt, players begin betting, raising, kicking, etc.
Winning or losing depends on the total number of points added up by the five cards. 10 is 10 points, j is 11 points, and so on, but a is 15 points.
Of course, in this world, the names from J to A are different, but the principles are similar, and Lu Ming automatically converted the names into his own understanding.
In addition, when calculating the total points of the cards, if there are three identical cards, 30 points will be added.
If there are four of the same, you win directly.
However, if two players have four identical cards, the total points of the two players will be compared.
The highest total points is not one player, but two players or multiple players are tied, it is called a bad game, there is no winner, and the table stakes automatically enter the next round.
This kind of gameplay is not as deceitful as Zha Jinhua. Everyone has a certain knowledge of the opponent's cards. After all, they can see 3 open cards.
Winning and losing are not as exciting as playing gold.
In addition, the possibility of cheating is also very small, because for example, four players only have 20 cards, and each of them has five cards. If you cheat and change cards, there will inevitably be consequences that the cards you cheated for actually have in other players' hands. When the card is shown, it is revealed.
Although the probability of all four players getting 5 cards is not very high, after all, the flexibility of changing cards is reduced to a minimum.
Over there, following Ren Jichang's suggestion, Tojo Saburo smiled and said, "Okay, let's try to win the first prize."
Qi Zongxun did everything he could, "It depends on what Master Jin wants!"
Jin Shanlong's face was full of dissatisfaction, but for some reason, his expression suddenly changed and he gritted his teeth, "Okay!"
Ren Jichang laughed: "Okay, okay, come on, let's serve it!"
When five people play, they take 9 to a, plus an 8, for a total of 25 cards.
Not long after Lu Ming sat down, Granny Camel Dragon came with a food box and brought some snacks to the master. After that, she went to stand in a row of servants against the wall.
Originally, Lu Ming came here without bringing Tuolong or Big and Small Fruits. When he heard that he was going to the card table, he took the opportunity of going to the bathroom and called Tuolong through the secret method of returning to Montenegro.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the poker game started, it was full of gunpowder, and it was more exciting than playing gold flowers.
From the first round, Qi Zongxun and Jin Shanlong took turns raising, kicking and counterattacking.
Originally, the basic bet was 100, but often after the third round of cards were dealt, the bets on the table would reach tens of thousands.
Lu Ming followed casually, and sometimes a pair came up as a trump card. The opponent's first round of up cards did not include any of his own pairs, and he often gave up and refused to follow.
But Qi Zongxun and Jin Shanlong were fooling around like this, and soon the winnings and losses were hundreds of thousands. Qi Zongxun was more calm, and Jin Shanlong was impatient, so Jin Shanlong lost.
Lu Ming was playing randomly, and this time the hole card came up with two nines.
The order of dealing the third card is Jin Shanlong, Tojo Saburo, Qi Zongxun, Ren Jichang, and Lu Ming.
Jin Shanlong's third card was K. He snorted coldly and threw down a ten thousand yuan chip, "Ten thousand."
Saburo Tojo followed.
Qi Zongxun was Q. He also followed Ten Thousand without any hesitation.
Ren Jichang fell into deep thought.
At this time, a waiter came to Lu Ming with a small box and whispered: "Sir, someone has changed the chips for you."
The waiter opened the small box, which contained ten thousand yuan in chips, about two hundred, with a card on it.
Lu Ming picked it up and read it, but it was an ancient Japanese poem quoted by Saburo Tojo. It probably meant that a confidant is hard to find. At the end, there was a sentence that said that Commissioner Zhang was not passionate about playing, so he gave me chips as a special gift, and he is the same as you. .
Over there, Ren Jichang thought deeply and followed Ten Thousand.
The dealer then dealt Lu Ming a third card, but it was a 9 again.
Lu Ming was startled and turned to look at Tojo Saburo, only to see Tojo Saburo smiling at him.
There is no doubt that Saburo Tojo controlled this game, giving himself chips, and the order of the cards allowed him to win a fortune.
Lu Ming waved his hand and said to the waiter: "I don't need this chip, go and give it back to Mr. Tojo!" He picked up a ten thousand yuan chip from the table and threw it in.
The waiter took the small box and went to Tojo Saburo's place. Tojo Saburo calmly asked the waiter to put the chips on his table.
The croupier was about to deal out the fourth round. Jin Shanlong gritted his teeth and raised his hand: "I'll kick back 100,000!"
After each round of dealing, each player has a chance to kick back.
Tojo Saburo smiled: "Follow me!"
Qi Zongxun frowned, thought for a while, counted ten thousand yuan chips and threw them into the table.
Ren Jichang smiled and pushed the card: "I won't follow!"
Lu Ming threw down the chips, "Follow 100,000."
At the beginning of the fourth round of dealing, Jin Shanlong got another king. That is to say, both of the open cards were kings. He chuckled and said, "Okay, I'm so lucky! He's better than the kid from Beijiang! I'll raise the bet." To five hundred thousand!" He made a provocative gesture to Qi Zongxun, slitting his throat.
Tojo Saburo smiled: "I won't follow!"
Qi Zongxun's fourth card was q again, that is, there were two q's on the open card. He glanced at Jin Shanlong and nodded: "Follow me!"
The croupier used a card holder to bring Lu Ming's fourth card over, and flipped it over again, revealing another 9.
In other words, Lu Ming currently has four 9s.
Lu Ming looked at the two bright cards, then picked up the two hidden cards, looked at them, and said with a smile: "Before I decide whether to follow or not, Marshal Zongxun, let me ask you a question, Miao Baifeng of Anshan The political power or the An Mingyuan political power, which one does the young commander think is the orthodoxy of Anshan?"
Hearing Lu Ming's question, Ren Jichang smiled slightly and looked at Qi Zongxun with interest.
Tojo Saburo was still smiling, but the look in his eyes towards Lu Ming had changed slightly.
Over there, Qi Zongxun hesitated.
In fact, before coming, Qi Huaide must have told his son that he would remain neutral on this matter and would not take a position.
But Qi Zongxun glanced at Jin Shanlong, then smiled and said: "From my personal point of view, of course Chairman Miao Baifeng, who is still maintaining Anshan's dignity in Anshan City, is the orthodox Anshan. An Mingyuan, who has fled to the northwest tribe , how can we represent the people of Anshan?"
Lu Ming laughed happily, "Okay, Marshal Zongxun, based on your words, whatever you lose in today's card game will be mine!"
Qi Zongxun frowned slightly, feeling that he had been underestimated. When he was about to say something, Lu Ming smiled and said: "I'll follow!" and then said: "Kick back a million!"
Jin Shanlong snorted coldly, seemed to glance at Saburo Tojo, then picked up his trump card, looked at it, and sneered: "I'm following!"
Lu Ming nodded inwardly, this was a game, either a game to give him money, or a game to kill him.
It seems that now, it has become a situation that will cost you your life.
Qi Zongxun probably realized something and hesitated a little.
Jin Shanlong sneered and said: "What? Don't you dare? People in Northern Xinjiang are all cowards, and so are those girls. Even if they cry to death, they don't dare to resist!"
A cold light flashed in Qi Zongxun's eyes, but he threw away the card and said, "I won't follow in this round!"
The dealer started the fifth round of dealing cards, and Jin Shanlong's fifth card was a.
He picked up the two trump cards, looked at them, and coughed: "Two million."
The dealer dealt the cards to Lu Ming, and Lu Ming's fifth card was 8.
Lu Ming looked at the chips on the table and said with a smile, "Should we accept checks here?"
In this room, there was a casino manager who was waiting for you. He smiled quickly and said, "Of course we recognize Commissioner Zhang's check."
Lu Ming wrote a check for five million and presented it to the table, "Follow me, I'll kick it to 500 without meeting you!"
Jin Shanlong's eyelids twitched. Obviously, although he was a famous nobleman in the Haixi provincial capital, this level of gambling was completely beyond his control. By the time he called for two million in the last round, he had already reached the extreme limit. Now that he is honest, the arrogant expression on his face is gone, and there are slight beads of sweat on his forehead.
At this time, he picked up the trump card and looked at it again.
Saburo Tojo, who was sitting next to him, had a flash of displeasure in his eyes, and Mrs. Tojo gently put down her tea cup.
"Follow!" Jin Shanlong finally figured it out after confirming his trump card.
If he has four kings and the fifth card is an a, then he will definitely win regardless of the opponent's card.
Because to beat him, you can only compare points with him if there are four of them.
Four aces is impossible. The maximum is four qs plus an a, which is smaller than his points.
Lu Mingming's cards were two 9s and an 8. Even if there were four 9s, the points would be much smaller than his.
Jin Shanlong shouted to follow him, but when he looked at the chips on his table, there were already very few.
Shiro Tojo, who was sitting next to him, smiled slightly at this time and took out his checkbook, "It seems that Commissioner Zhang didn't have all the fun, but Master Jin seems to have no capital. How about this, I will lend money to Master Jin, Master Jin Haixi Yingjie, I There are also some industries in Haixi, and I am not afraid of Mr. Jin defaulting on his debts."
Then he smiled and said, "I guess Commissioner Zhang is going to show his cards to Master Jin." After saying that, he wrote a check for five million and sent it to Jin Shanlong. He smiled at Lu Ming and said, "Commissioner Zhang, the card game is over. We can still talk."
Jin Shanlong delivered the check to the table, and the manager picked it up for review, with a look of embarrassment on his face, "Sanhe Bank... has not started business in Longbei..."
Tojo Shiro frowned and saw a faint look of pleasure on Lu Ming's face over there. It was obvious that the other party did this on purpose.
No wonder he kept following him. He knew clearly that he could win this card game, so he could make him lose. He was a smart man. He wouldn't have known what the secret communication between him and him from the beginning of the card game to now meant. He didn't accept it. Chi Chi used his conversation with Qi Zongxun to express his attitude.
Now, they are just making extra moves, just to make Jin Shanlong have no capital to follow the cards.
But these are all tricks of the wither bug. Saburo Tojo shook his head and took out another checkbook. "A check from the Imperial Bank is fine!" He wrote the amount of 10 million and handed it over.
Jin Shanlong's heart was beating wildly, but he had to give instructions early on. If it came to the final stage of following the cards, he would follow as many chips as he got.
He slapped the check and said, "I'll follow you. I'll kick it to 10 million without meeting you!" As he spoke, he felt his heart beating out of his throat.
Saburo Tojo looked at Lu Ming coldly, and finally lost all the kindness. Obviously, since you don't know how to show appreciation, you are not welcome. He said calmly: "Commissioner Zhang, after the card game is over, we can still talk. "
Lu Ming looked at Jin Shanlong and shook his head helplessly, "I should have kicked tens of millions more, but for an opponent like you, if I tell you how much money I have won from you in the future, why does it feel like bullying a fool? In fact, it's not Wu Guang! Forget it, I’ll meet you!”
He wrote a check worth tens of millions and threw it out, then revealed his trump card, "Four nines and one eight!"
"Fuck you, you're the fool! I won!" Jin Shanlong took out his trump card and slapped it on the table.
"Three kings, one a, and one j, Mr. Zhang wins!" The croupier immediately reported the result.
Jin Shanlong looked down and his face changed drastically. His initial hole cards were a K and a J, but after Mr. Tojo gave a signal midway, he looked at the hole cards and it turned out to be two Ks.
At this time, Mrs. Tojo suddenly let out a loud groan and lay on the table with a pale face. Apparently she fainted from some unknown illness.
Tojo Saburo stared blankly at Jin Shanlong's cards, and for a moment he forgot to care about his wife.
Lu Ming had already said to the manager: "Exchange all your chips for a check issued by your hotel!" He picked up three more ten thousand yuan chips, threw one to the manager, one to the dealer, and the other to the couple. A waiter: "You guys get a share!"
The manager, dealer, and waiters all stared blankly. This card game was so scary that they had never seen it before in the casino.
The tip given by the winner is more than ordinary people can save in a lifetime.
Thank you very much, come and bow to Lu Ming.
Lu Ming had already picked up the stupid Bai Narcissus and shouted to the manager: "Oh, if Marshal Qi loses, just give me the original amount back."
He smiled at Ren Jichang again: "Fourth brother, let's go down and have a cup of tea. I'll wait for the check."
Ren Jichang smiled and said: "Okay, okay!" and led the way.
Looking at his back, Lu Ming was thinking about it. In fact, judging from Tojo Saburo's deployment, it was obvious that he knew in advance that he was going to win the championship, and he was well prepared for all possibilities.
Jin Shanlong and Qi Zongxun met in the casino today. Jin Shanlong's provocation and so on were all arranged in advance.
As for Jin Shanlong, Saburo Tojo can do whatever he wants, but Qi Zongxun came to the casino today, so someone must have deliberately arranged it.
While playing cards, he heard Qi Zongxun accidentally mention that he came to the casino today because the guide who was responsible for serving the mansion where he lived said that the casino here was fun, and he became interested.
And just now, it was Ren Jichang who suggested playing to win the first place.
Ren Laosi, is he colluding with the Japanese?
Otherwise, it would be difficult for Saburo Tojo to plan so seamlessly.
However, although the plan is perfect, if the most basic things are overturned, it will be self-defeating.
Saburo Tojo naturally knew that he had thousands of experts on his side. After all, the Japanese fell into his hands last time.
Tojo Saburo's wife may be a disguised wife, or she may be a real wife, but she is a master in herself, and she probably came here without the intention of competing with those around her.
What's more, Mrs. Tojo's seat is next to Jin Shanlong, and the king who was replaced by Jin Shanlong should have been Tojo Saburo's trump card.
The distance is so close, and from the perspective of Qianmen Technique, the other party will not have any chance to interfere.
But there is no other way. With me here, Granny Tuolong, a gambler, feels like she has divine help, as if she has an aura and a domain.
Grandma Tuolong never had to cheat when she gambled, which would also take away the fun of gambling, but she was very knowledgeable in the skills of thousands of arts.
I don't know how the two of them got into each other's hands, and I don't know how to ask.
It's good to win, more than 10 million, which is less than expected. In fact, Jin Shanlong is sitting at the opponent's table, so he has no interest in continuing to gamble.
Thinking about it, Lu Ming burst into laughter. If this rate continues, the Haixi and Japanese people will not be in trouble, but the powerful people who often deal with him will go bankrupt one by one, right?
