After an hour, the three of them were full of wine and food. Guan Canghai took out a few taels of silver from his bag and gave it to the restaurant. The shopkeeper expressed his gratitude and sent Guan Canghai and the others off to the restaurant.
The three of them came to the Tianmen Gambling Bureau. Inside, the sun was filled with dust and the smell of alcohol could be smelled. The place was crowded with people and the noise was endless.
After entering the door, Yuerong Hongyan and the two people suddenly felt disgusted in their hearts, thinking: "Maybe there is a place like this among the places where people are drunk and dreaming of life and death.?" Guan Canghai took the two people to a gambling table, Sitting firmly in his seat, he said to the young boss who was playing dice: "I want to see your shopkeeper."
The man smiled disdainfully and said: "How can anyone meet my shopkeeper? If you want to meet, it depends on your gambling skills. If your skills are not even as good as those of a child, please go further away. Don't join in the fun here." Hearing this, the other gamblers started to boo and started laughing. Guan Canghai didn't think so and said seriously: "I'll just make a bet based on your suggestion."
At this time, Yue Rong thought to herself: "Guan Canghai paid for today's wine in advance. It's hard to say how we will live in the future. It's better to take a gamble today to relieve the pain of being short of money in the future."
So Yuerong, who was in a dizzy state after drinking, had already forgotten about his ignorance of gambling skills, and said to Guan Canghai: "Brother, let me do it." Hongyan was shocked when Yuerong learned such a skill. Could it be that she was drunk after drinking? , became reckless. Hongyan wanted to pull Yuerong back, but she didn't expect that he was already sitting in Guan Canghai's seat. Guan Canghai said: "The gambling skills of the people in this gambling game are definitely not comparable to ordinary people, so be more careful." Yuerong said without fear, " Don’t worry, brother.”
The little shopkeeper opposite asked: "I wonder what you want to bet on?" Yuerong simply said: "Whatever you want!" Hongyan heard and secretly said: "What a loud tone, I don't know when I developed these skills." Unconsciously, Hongyan found it funny again. , Shanxiu stared directly at Yuerong, to see how he would end up?
The little shopkeeper smiled slightly and said: "Bet on dice and guess the size. Above ten o'clock is big, and below ten o'clock is small." After that, the man put one foot on the chair and said to Yuerong: "Now let's start. "So he raised the color basin above his head, looked at Yuerong with contempt, then shook the color basin a few times, then put it back on the gambling table, and said to Yuerong: "Whether it's bigger or smaller, place your bets." ?" Yuerong said: "I'm afraid." Yuerong looked at Hongyan, now he was a little awake, and looked at Hongyan with an embarrassed look. Hongyan helplessly took out five taels of gold ingots from the package and handed it to Yuerong.
Yuerong put the ingot of silver ingot on the table and said: "I'll press it big, two and a half." There was a pop, and the onlookers who followed burst into laughter. The little shopkeeper was even more happy. He kept saying: "What a great gesture, today is an eye-opener for me." Yuerong remained silent, with a look of embarrassment on her face. Guan Canghai smiled modestly.
Everyone just watched the little shopkeeper lift the color basin and said with a smile: "One, three, five o'clock, kid, you lose." Yuerong felt a little numb and said, "Come again!" The little shopkeeper said with a bitter smile: "When you lose, we'll settle the score together. Anyway, there are still two and a half left." He said and everyone laughed again. After he finished shaking the color basin, Yue Rong, who didn't understand the changes in the gambling game, chose to play small this time, but the unexpected result was two, four, six, high. In just a moment, Yuerong lost five taels of silver that others looked down upon. Now Yuerong completely woke up and looked at the beauty beside her, feeling at a loss. Hongyan's expression at this time was both bitter and joyful. Very helpless.
At this time, listen to the little shopkeeper of the dice saying: "You have no money, you can just press the big beauty behind you, I will take it here." The beauty heard the red jade noodles being burned, and she drew her sword and was about to draw it. Guan Canghai hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop, patted Yuerong's shoulder again and said: "Let me do it." Yuerong had never set foot in a gambling house, let alone bet against others. After this experience, he was so embarrassed that sweat broke out on his forehead, and he was helpless. He silently returned to Hongyan.
Guan Canghai sat down at the gambling table for the second time, and the shopkeeper said: "Don't tell me you still bet two and a half!" "Ha-ha-ha" was another burst of laughter. However, the laughter did not last as long as the ridicule of Xiao Yuerong. Unknowingly, the laughter stopped. What everyone saw was taking out a huge and dazzling pearl from Guan Canghai's arms. Even laymen knew that it was a priceless treasure. Everyone in the gambling game looked at Guan Canghai quietly, and Yuerong and Hongyan were also in a daze.
Guan Canghai smiled and said: "How much is this worth?" The little shopkeeper simply said: "Whatever you say?" Guan Canghai said: "This thing is worth a lot of money. I will make five thousand taels of silver first. What do you think?" The shopkeeper said hello.
Then he raised the color basin and was about to shake it. Guan Canghai stopped and said, "Wait a minute!" The little shopkeeper asked, "What else can I do?" Guan Canghai said, "This time, I will each shake one to see who gets the higher score." ?” The little shopkeeper said, “So what, how much do you press it?” Guan Canghai calmly placed the bead on the table, but it seemed to be glued to it, motionless. Then Guan Canghai said: "Five thousand taels." As soon as these words came out, the young shopkeeper was stunned and lost all his previous arrogance. Everyone present looked at Guan Canghai blankly, wondering who he was. Is there such a move?
The little shopkeeper nodded in approval and said: "I admire you! I admire you! You are really brave and courageous, but it still depends on how good your gambling skills are." As he said this, the little shopkeeper picked up the color basin and shook it. After shaking for a while, he suddenly put the color basin on the table. When he opened the color basin, everyone focused their eyes on the color basin. They saw that the three dice all had six points, making a total of eighteen points. "Everyone applauded. Yuerong was secretly shocked when he saw it: "I thought to myself, this time it is considered a sure defeat. "The little shopkeeper came over to get the beads even more confidently. Guan Canghai stopped him and said, "I haven't picked one yet. How could I have known that I would lose to you? "
Guan Canghai said as he took the three dice in his hand and flicked them into the basin one by one. The first two dice fell into the basin with six points. The miracle came on the third dice. After twisting and turning on the edge of the basin for a long time, when it slid back to the bottom of the basin, it split into two, with one point and six points facing upwards. In total, the three dices total nineteen points. Yuerong let out a sigh of relief when he saw this. The little shopkeeper was stunned when he saw it, but said: "Okay, he is indeed very skilled." Then he took out a five thousand tael silver note and handed it to Guan Canghai. Guan Canghai placed the silver note next to the big pearl and said, "I'll give you a chance to win money. This time I'll bet 10,000 taels."
The people around him were impressed by Guan Canghai's powerful aura and secretly marveled. The little shopkeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "This time the bet is small, whoever is small wins!" Guan Canghai took the dice and threw it into the basin at will. After a long time of spinning the three dice, there was one It's like jumping over a mountain to one dice on the bottom of the basin, and then another one flips over the previous dice. The three dice are superimposed on one place, and the top dice shows two points. What surprised Yuerong was that the dice that had just been split into two were intact at this moment, and it was impossible to tell which one it was.
Seeing this, the little shopkeeper showed a smile on his face. Two points was obviously not the smallest number. The next step was to see how he stacked the dice into one point. The little shopkeeper also grabbed the dice and threw it into the color basin just like Guan Canghai did. The situation is the same as Guan Canghai, with three dice trying to overlap. The difference is that the top dice is slightly upward. Despite the difference in appearance, I have to admire the little shopkeeper's gambling skills.
However, the smile that was about to appear on the young shopkeeper's face disappeared in an instant. Just when the last die was about to roll to the top and show one point, the die suddenly split into two and rolled down, with one point and six o'clock facing up. . Coincidentally, this dice was the one that Guan Canghai had separated just now, and merged into one in Guan Canghai's hands. This time, the little shopkeeper's victory was ruined at the critical moment.
"Brother, I forgot to change the dice, but it's too late. You lost again this time." Guan Canghai said.
The young shopkeeper looked somewhat regretful and unhappy in his depression, and the onlookers also felt sorry for him. But Yuerong and Hongyan could see that everything was under Guan Canghai's control, and he was confident about everything. Regarding Guan Canghai, there was nothing that Yuerong and Yuerong could not imagine. There was absolutely nothing impossible.
The young shopkeeper reluctantly took out another 10,000 taels of silver notes. Before Guan Canghai could speak, he had already sent someone to invite the boss of Tianmen Gambling.
Not long after, the gambling clerk brought a noble man in rich clothes from the backyard. The man was in his fifties, with a white face and narrow eyes, and a very humble expression. Guan Canghai said as soon as he saw it: "I don't know what's going on with you, why is it so difficult to see you?" The shopkeeper raised his hands and said: "I am in the country of Xingnan. I have been very busy recently. I have indeed failed to meet your high expectations. Please forgive me for being rude. The old shopkeeper then said to Guan Canghai: "I just heard from my subordinates that you won me ten thousand taels of silver in the blink of an eye. I really don't know your name?"
Guan Canghai said: "Guan Canghai is a rude person. I came to visit you now. Please forgive me for disturbing me." Guo Xingnan said with a smile: "Guan Canghai! If the real person lives up to his name." The shopkeeper Xingnan sighed and continued: " My waiter said that Brother Guan is a master at playing dice, and Guo is going to open his eyes today." Guo Xingnan said to the young shopkeeper: "Let me bet on the number of colors and let me see, the smaller one wins." The young shopkeeper obeyed the order. . Guan Canghai just let nature take its course.
He would never dare to use the dice that Guan Canghai had used, so he ordered someone to change the dice. The little shopkeeper picked up the color basin and continued to shake it. This time his superb gambling skills were once again proven. When the color basin was opened, the three dice were stacked vertically, and the top dice was slightly visible. The little shopkeeper looked at Guan Canghai with satisfaction, wondering what kind of amazing skills he would show in front of everyone this time? Guan Canghai was still confident. He grabbed the dice and threw it into the color basin. The three dice kept spinning in the color basin. The onlookers were dazzled. They wondered when it would stop? When Guan Canghai covered the color basin and then opened the lid, something unexpected happened. Of the three dice stacked vertically, the six sides of the top dice were all shiny, with no spots at all. Luo stood on it suddenly. No one knows how the dead dice was formed. Perhaps only Guan Canghai himself knows all this.
Guan Canghai's bet this time was fifteen thousand taels. Guo Xingnan smiled coldly. The young shopkeeper obediently paid Guan Canghai fifteen thousand taels in silver notes. The little shopkeeper's expression looked a little helpless at this time. Guo Xingnan said, "One more bet. The one with the bigger number wins." The shopkeeper obeyed the order and wanted to send someone to change the dice.
"Wait a minute!" Guo Xingnan said: "Guan Zhuang, please come first! I want to feast my eyes first!" Guan Canghai said well, but this time he only deposited five thousand taels of silver notes. Guan Canghai picked up the dice as usual and threw them into the color basin. The three dice fell into the color basin without moving. One dice with no points was removed, and the other two dices had one point each, making a total of two points. . This is obviously not the result Guan Canghai wants. At this time, Guo Xingnan's position had changed subtly. He was already close to the gaming table, and his hands were placed on the gaming table. He looked at Guan Canghai with a sharp look. The little shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief at this time and thought: "You will definitely lose now." Apparently, Guo Xingnan used his internal power to control the dice and secretly helped the little shopkeeper.
Guan Canghai sat on a chair and watched admiringly the little shopkeeper shaking the dice in the color basin, his expression not changing at all. Yuerong on the side couldn't guess how much lower the shopkeeper would pay to lose to Guan Canghai? However, a miracle that Yue Rong could not see happened again. A scene that made the shopkeeper and onlookers dumbfounded happened again. When the color basin was opened, what everyone saw was that the dice with no points stayed alone in the color basin. The other two dices disappeared. No one saw who took the two dice away. What's more, No one saw how invisible he was, and the little shopkeeper felt even more baffled, but the fact was once again before his eyes, and he lost again.
Guo Xingnan scolded: "Trash, the dice can be lost, no wonder you lose miserably." In fact, Guo Xingnan understood that the little shopkeeper was outstanding, and he was not wrong.
Guo Xingnan smiled and said to Guan Canghai: "My friend's skills are indeed extraordinary, which opened Guo's eyes." As he spoke, he handed Guan Canghai a silver note - five thousand taels. Guo Xingnan added: "The worldly gambling methods can't match my friend's unique skills. Playing in the color basin and the gambling table is really wronging my friend. I think throwing the dice on the wall behind each other, the one with the bigger number on the wall will Win. It will also allow all the friends present to see your superb skills." Guan Canghai nodded in response and said: "An extraordinary gambling game must have extraordinary bets." Guoxing Nan asked with a shudder: "Well said, I don't know what my friend is saying. For a bet? "
Guan Canghai smiled heartily and said: "I bet that in the near future, our army will defeat the Khitan troops, and the Liao bandits will push out of the Song Dynasty and return to the north of the Great Wall." After hearing the difference, Guo Xingnan sneered and said: "It is indeed a huge gamble. , I just don’t know whether my friend can win or not." As he said this, Guo Xingnan picked up the ugly, pointless dice in the color basin and said, "It would be better to get two new sets of dice. One pair for each person." As he said this, Guo Xingnan Nan waved a transparent color box in front of him, and three dice were buzzing inside. Then he handed it to Guan Canghai. Guan Canghai casually took the color box and saw that Guo Xingnan had already held a new set of dice in his palm. When he stretched out his palm, he saw three dice flying in a circle on his palm, which looked like a flower.
Guan Canghai also put the dice on his palm to exercise his Qi, but Yuerong saw that the ethereal dice had been in Guan Canghai's hand at some point. With Guan Canghai's Qi, the three dice were not even inches apart. , with its edges and corners facing each other vertically in the palm of the hand, constantly rotating, but its rotation is not very fast, so the moon's appearance can be seen clearly. Guo Xingnan must have dropped the dice when he handed it to Guan Canghai. Yuerong didn't know how Guan Canghai could count the points of two dices and the three dices in Shengguo Xingnan's hand. But although Guan Canghai knew all this, he didn't take it seriously.
In an instant, the dice from the palms of Guo Xingnan and Guan Canghai flew out almost simultaneously. The dice of the two people drew an arc behind each other, heading towards each other. The six dice happened to meet on the left side of Guan Canghai. Guan Canghai's two dotted dice happened to be smashed into pieces by Guo Xingnan's two dice. They collided twice and Guo Xingnan's dice flew quickly. Unabated, a bit of mist carrying Guan Canghai's color was thrown towards the wall behind him like a shooting star. Two dice are firmly mounted on the wall, both at six o'clock.
The dice that had not returned was hit hard by Guan Canghai's pointless dice again. This time Guan Canghai's dice was shattered again, but this impact made Guo Xingnan's dice change its direction. In reverse, the wall behind Guan Canghai flew away in the shape of six points. The moment the dice was embedded in the wall, two more six-point dice suddenly appeared on both sides of the dice, making a total of 18 points. Guo Xingnan could clearly see everything just now, but he couldn't see clearly how two six-point dice appeared on the wall of Guan Canghai.
In the blink of an eye, most of the spectators present saw the result of the game, but Guan Canghai and Guo Xingnan saw the whole process of the game. The process was by no means clear in the eyes of Yuerong and Hongyan, but they, like everyone else, saw the ending of Guan Canghai's miraculous victory again.
Everything was so unbelievable that Yuerong couldn't come back to her senses and fell silent in Guan Canghai's magical performances again and again.
Ha - ha - ha -, "I won. The Song Dynasty will definitely bring the wolf thieves to justice, no matter what tricks the Liao people use." Guan Canghai laughed loudly and said in a domineering tone. Guo Xingnan nodded and smiled, praising Guan Canghai for his excellent gambling skills. Guan Canghai picked up the silver notes and pearls on the table and said to Guo Xingnan: "Today I am very disturbed. I hope that when I visit you tomorrow, I will show off with swords." The people around him didn't understand what Guan Canghai was talking about. Guo Xingnan knew in his heart that he still sent Guan Canghai and the others away respectfully with a smile.
After Guo Xingnan saw Guan Canghai and the others leaving, all the gamblers dispersed. Then he called the little shopkeeper who was playing dice and said: "The person you have been wary of every day has finally arrived today. Quickly ask people to keep an eye on these three people and kill them as soon as there is a chance. After hearing this, the little shopkeeper understood and immediately led People go out.
Not long after the little shopkeeper took the people out, someone came in and reported: Master, there is another person outside who wants to come to the gambling house to gamble, and threatens to gamble with you. Guo Xingnan said: "Ask him to come in and let me see who he is!" Guo Xingnan slowly sat down at the gambling table and waited.
Not long after, a man jumped in from outside, and I saw that this dear man was born with a small body and a big eyes. Thin body and fat clothes. Those surprisingly big eyes looked back and forth in the room...
