Qian Qiao said these words gently and deftly, but there were gasps of air around her.
Before picking up the gambling cup, she directly stated her choice. This was no less than throwing down the sword that could cut gold and jade before the duel.
At the same time, people around him remembered the second meaning of this bet.
Qian Qiao now has a total of one hundred and thirty-three chips in his hand, which is an astonishing sum of money anywhere. But if he starts with these one hundred and thirty-three chips and bets on the Unparalleled Leopard, then If it succeeds, if it is doubled one hundred and eighty times, it may be enough to buy the entire Ruyi Gambling House.
All casinos are trying their best to avoid this terrible change, but today, this terrible future is really clearly in front of them.
Not to mention the extremely low probability of the Unparalleled Leopard, with the amazing luck shown by the talented girl just now, the possibility of winning eighteen games in a row is infinitely lower than that of the Unparalleled Leopard.
Besides--didn't you just shake out an unparalleled leopard?
Even if there is another one, it is not too surprising.
Even so, this girl didn't care at all about the possibility of being tricked by the casino, and revealed her bet before rolling the dice.
It was as if a peerless swordsman, after defeating seemingly invincible enemies one after another, did not adjust his breath or heal his wounds. He looked directly at the master who had never defeated him with wounds all over his body, and calmly asked for advice.
Before that, he even dropped the sword in his hand.
Half of the gambling tables in the dice hall have been incorporated into this increasingly terrifying gambling game, but no one dares to place a bet on all the gambling tables.
This is no longer a situation where they can mix things up. Anyone with a clear head will understand.
Similarly, Deacon Zhu did not dare to grab the mahogany gambling cup that he was so familiar with, because the price he had to bear was beyond his limit.
He didn't have the power yet to put the fate of the entire casino on his own roll.
However, the man who had not spoken for a long time finally spoke.
The young mercenary, who was originally in a daze, smiled slightly and helped the girl on his body. He looked at the red-clothed deacon with a somewhat incomprehensible look and said lightly: "You can't decide, then let those who can decide." People come out."
The moment he saw the other party's eyes, Deacon Zhu understood who was the real manipulator in this huge gamble.
Qian Qiao sat obediently in his arms. In this series of miracles, she had completely believed in the man under her. Even if it brought great danger to her, she didn't know if the man would help her. She was free from the consequences of this incident.
But for her personally, she was satisfied.
She had given her best on the stage, which lasted only half an hour, and achieved the best result she could.
Never give in, never be proud, never fear, never be greedy.
Her life was destined to be bleak, but this man guided her to ignite her own greatest value, just like extremely gorgeous fireworks that bloomed to the extreme at that moment.
So she didn't care whether she was going to burn out and die in the next moment.
Her life withered long before fate fell to her.
But at this time, Qian Qiao heard the gentle male voice slowly sound again.
"In this bet, Ruyifang will admit defeat."
A wheelchair was slowly rolled out from the depths of the hall, and the man was rocking the wheelchair alone and slowly rowed over. There was a faint smile on his clean face, but when he saw the depths, there was a sense of chilling coming towards him. .
"We will compensate the guest ten times the chips, and today's gambling ends here."
Qian Qiao looked at the quiet figure. Even she couldn't ignore the other party's pressure. She nodded heavily on Qi Xia's lap, almost horizontally: "Qian Qiao pays homage to the boss."
The red-clothed deacon had never thought that the boss, who had always been handicapped, would actually come forward in person, and he couldn't help but panic. However, he immediately knelt down on one knee to the man and said respectfully: "I wish you to meet the boss."
Qi Xia looked intently at the man who appeared in a wheelchair. At that moment, she understood that he was the most important goal of her trip.
What should a gambling house owner look like?
A lean and shrewd senior gambler?
A bloated and wealthy plutocrat?
Or maybe a hidden master whose eyes are like swords and whose dazzling brilliance is intimidating?
But the oncoming master of Ruyi Square did not conform to everyone's potential speculation.
To use Qi Xia's most intuitive description, he was like a huge walrus, swimming slowly and gracefully towards him in his own kingdom.
He looked like an ordinary middle-aged man, with a slightly chubby figure, a clean face without too many wrinkles, long blond hair shawl, and gentle and indifferent eyes. The first time he looked at him, there was no one. One would associate him with the owner of the largest casino in Yanshi City, not to mention that he obviously has a disability in both legs.
Qi Xia took another look at his hands. Excellent gamblers have beautiful hands, but Qi Xia has never seen such beautiful hands. Such slender and graceful jade-like hands can appear on the most beautiful women. It doesn't feel out of place, but appearing on this ordinary middle-aged man makes people sincerely afraid.
"Girl Qianqiao, come down."
The owner of Ruyi Square said calmly: "You helped this customer win eighteen games in a row today. I'm afraid there is no such amazing record in the entire continent. After today, your commission will increase significantly."
Deacon Zhu looked at the leader in surprise, then looked at Qian Qiao eagerly, and whispered: "Thank you soon, the leader."
These subordinates who are used to their own boss naturally understand their boss's temperament. He may seem gentle, but when he is angry, there are only three people in Yanshi City who dare to stand under his anger. But there is one thing about this boss that is the best.
He doesn't like to speak ironically.
What happened to Qian Qiao today, at a big scale, was a betrayal of the casino, but at a small scale, it was just his unparalleled luck. After all, none of the gambling money he won was his.
The difference between big and small lies only in the owner's thoughts.
Since the boss did not hold Qian Qiao responsible today and took the initiative to mention the other party's remuneration, the pressure from the casino itself was gone. This was the biggest factor why he and Liu He repeatedly persuaded Qian Qiao to stop.
But the blond girl still did not repent. She lowered her head and said quietly but firmly: "The guest's gambling game is not over yet, so please forgive me, Master."
At this time, Qi Xia smiled slightly. He shook his head, stretched out his hand to rub the girl's soft short hair, and then looked at the ordinary but graceful boss.
"Master Wushuangbo, I accept your proposal."
Then, Qi Xia said the following words without hesitation.
"But before I leave, I want to gamble with you alone for two rounds."
Wushuangbozhu, Nanxia gently called out the other party's name.
Unparalleled boss.
Anyone who has a little knowledge of the gambling industry will have heard of the name of Master Wushuang.
Because his status in the gambling world is like the Three Saints to the powerful people in the mainland, and the Three Emperors to the mortals throughout their lives.
He may not be the most skilled and powerful person in history, but he is definitely the most respected and feared being in the world today.
Just because of him, undefeated.
There is no undefeated person in the casino, and the owner of Wushuangbang cannot guarantee that he can win every game.
Yet he remained undefeated.
There is no guarantee that every gambling game will be undefeated, but ensuring that the gambling battles composed of gambling games are undefeated can be called undefeated.
But - the casino is the most unreasonable place in the world. You can win ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine times, but sometimes, if you lose just once, you will fall into an abyss of eternal destruction.
Just like Qian Qiao's originally respectable father.
However, this unreasonable leader made sense in this unreasonable place.
What makes him powerful is that he has an extremely sensitive sense of risk. He will always withdraw his bets at the most dangerous times and place the final chips at the most appropriate time.
Therefore, such a person, even if he loses ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine times, only needs to win once to become the final winner.
However, the latter is tens of millions of times more difficult than the former.
Thirty-seven years ago, this boss, accompanied by his servant, pushed a wheelchair to Lanlan Holy City, and then calmly gambled there for three days and three nights.
Then he lost for three days and three nights.
When everyone thought that this young man with a lot of money and the reputation as the number one man in the northern gambling world was just a liar in name only, on that misty morning three days and three nights later, he won the entire three streets under his feet.
Those are three streets in Lanlan City. Each street is enough to replace a big city on this continent.
From that day on, no one dared to do anything related to gambling with him, and he never gambled with anyone even once.
However, at this moment, Qi Xia said that she wanted to bet with the other party for two games.
Master Wushuangbo didn't seem surprised by Nanxia's request. He just smiled and replied: "That's very good."
…
…
Master Wushuang had bet against someone for the first time after thirty-seven years of silence. If word spread, it would definitely be a once-in-a-century event in the gambling industry, but in fact, only two and a half people were lucky enough to watch this gambling game.
Qian Qiao supported the drunken senior Zhou Yan and followed Qi Xia through the hall that was crowded with people. In the backyard of the casino, they crossed an artificial stream and entered the Nuan Pavilion on a small lake covered with thin ice. .
Qian Qiao ignored Qi Xia's invitation and stood alone in a cloak in the cold winter night. Only the drunken Zhou Yan accompanied Qi Xia to the interior of Nuan Pavilion.
So when Senior Zhou Yan arrived at the place, he immediately found a comfortable position and covered his head to sleep. At the same time, Master Wushuangbo slowly turned the three vermilion walnuts in his hand and said with a smile.
"A casino is a vulgar thing. People who come and go are wealthy, and there is no poverty or weakness."
"But gambling is not like that. Gambling is magic, and magic is the way of heaven."
"Casinos are about making money, and making money is what people want."
"Using the way of heaven to seek human desires is the so-called unity of heaven and man."
There is a coffee table, several warm chairs, and a couch. Zhou Xing is on the couch, and various gambling games are displayed on it.
Qi Xia sat on the warm chair, leisurely pulled out a deck of Pai Gow from the coffee table, and cut it skillfully: "Master, you are a giant in the gambling industry. Don't tell me that if you don't have these, just bet on Pai Gow. What do you think? "
"As you please." The master of Wushuangfang smiled lightly, then stretched out his almost perfect hand to twist three dices, rotated his fingertips slightly and threw them out in the gambling cup. Three ivory dices dripped. It collided and rolled in the black jade gambling cup. When it stopped, there were three bright red six points.
"I threw the leopard you were talking about for you." The leader of Wushuangbo was not proud of his amazing hand at all, he just said plainly.
"Otherwise, how could I dare to bet my own coffin book?" Qi Xia said with a smile, then neatly stacked the shuffled dominoes on the table, and separated out the cards according to the number of points thrown.
Pai Gow, also known as dominoes, is one of the oldest gambling tools. It was created along with dice with the birth of numbers. The materials were originally taken from animal bones.
Nowadays, Pai Gow is no longer made of animal bones. For example, the dominoes in Qi Xia's hands are made of white rhinoceros horns, which are more precious than ivory. Each dollar is equal to ten times the weight of gold.
The dominoes they used were based on white rhinoceros horn, and the lead color was mixed with pigments mixed with pigeon blood. The numbers on the dominoes ranged from one to nine, with nine levels in total, and then the four directions of southeast, northwest, and each level were painted in the four colors of green, white, red, and black. It is a universal thirty-six dominoes.
However, with the development of dominoes, three star tiles were created. As a symbol of Hoshino Migaki, these three star tiles can be combined with any card color to form a hand that can be combined.
On top of the three star cards, there is a trump card, which is like a leopard in rolling dice. Once it appears, it will take everything.
However, the last four cards often only appear in entertainment play. For the sake of fairness, these four cards will be removed in real gambling, and only the initial thirty-six cards will participate in the combination of the deck.
Master Wushuangbo took the card that Nanxia gave him, and without even looking at it, he turned over the white rhinoceros horn domino.
The color was as red as pigeon blood, and Wushuang Bangzhu directly opened the largest red nine.
There are many ways to play Pai Gow, but since they didn't explain it, they naturally played it according to the most common way.
Each person has two cards, one in the light and one in the dark. The size comparison depends on the card type.
If there is no pair, compare the points, not the points you want to add, but the points that will overflow when full.
For example, if you have an eight-nine card, according to the rule of overflow, if the overflow is eighty-nine plus seventeen points, the remaining seven points will be the points in your hand.
But if they are paired, then only the size of the pair is compared.
Nine is naturally the greatest pair, and you are the most noble.
Qi Xia looked at the cards turned over by Master Wushuangbo and shook her head, but did not turn over the cards in her hand.
"Although gambling is vulgar, it's really boring if you don't gamble. What can you tell me, boss?"
Master Wushuang laughed, nodded in agreement, and then picked up the fried sunflower seeds on the coffee table. With a flick of his hand, thirteen black melon seeds fell in front of Qi Xia.
"You won me thirteen hundred gold, so this melon seed is worth a hundred gold?"
Qi Xia looked at the whole plate of melon seeds on the owner's side: "Master, this is unfair."
"This." Master Wushuangfang smiled slightly: "This is the wealth comparison between you and me."
"Okay, okay." Qi Xia shook her head, reached out and grabbed a sunflower seed worth a hundred gold, and gently knocked it into her mouth: "Such a luxurious thing is really rare."
Master Wushuang watched Qi Xia swallow the melon seed, but did not stop him at all.
The other party can use this melon seed to withdraw a hundred golden leaf grass from the casino when leaving. This huge sum of money is enough to buy three medium-sized grocery stores in Yanshi City - including the house deed, land deed and an entire house. goods.
But if Qi Xia swallows it, it means that he really loses the income of one hundred golden leaves.
Qi Xia agreed with this rule, but he still ate the melon seed casually.
After eating it, Qi Xia smiled and turned over the cards in her hand.
"There's nothing surprising about a hundred gold melon seeds."
The card in his hand was a dark one.
The smallest and weakest hand.
"Do you want to meet?" Wushuangbozhu meaningfully took out a melon seed from his plate and placed it between the two of them: "I think we need to wait a little longer."
Qi Xia looked down at the twelve melon seeds he had left, which meant he could place twelve bets.
Alternatively, ask six questions.
"Master, don't you wonder how I can do what is in the hall?"
Master Wushuang shook his head.
"Not curious."
Another melon seed was placed on the table.
Qi Xia couldn't help but smile in distress, and then looked at the plain face of Master Wushuang.
The second melon seed was put on.
"Is it because the owner and I are the same person?"
Master Wushuang suffocated slightly. Even he did not expect that someone could openly tell his biggest secret.
In other words, the most terrible secret belonging to two people.
But he finally shook his head slightly.
"The master of Qixia Pavilion is a more powerful person than me."
The third melon seed was put on the table.
Qi Xia shook her head, somewhat troubled by her opponent's sharpness.
"The eyes that can predict one's own death are not as useful as the owner's eyes."
Master Wushuangbo did not smile.
The fourth melon seed was gently placed on it.
"Being able to see the final entangled trajectory of the threads of fate is always luckier than the struggling insects and ants."
Qi Xia was moved by these words, and the movements of her hands slowed down, but only for a moment.
"Drunk people are happier than sober people."
Master Wushuang shook his head again.
The fifth melon seed was placed on one end of the scale.
"He who knows he is awake will never get drunk."
Qi Xia finally showed a helpless smile.
"As expected of the boss."
Master Wushuang was not proud of his words, but quietly turned over the second domino in his hand.
The gambling fight is mutual.
He gave Qi Xia thirteen melon seeds. However, in every round of betting, as long as there were extra chips in his hand, he would have to follow the bet every round as long as he did not stop.
Qi Xia swallowed a melon seed, and then the two parties exchanged twelve sentences.
The last sentence was swallowed by Qi Xia, so there was no more continuation on the field at this time.
In front of the Master Wushuang, the black Nine and the Red Nine will complement each other.
That is the Supreme.
No matter how clever and hidden their previous conversation was, it was confusing.
But one thing will not change, and that is the Double Nine Supreme that Master Wushuang opened.
There is no bigger deck in Pai Gow.
But the red-haired boy looked at the red and black Shuangjiu seriously and shook his head slightly.
"I won."
He said calmly.
Lu Wushuang did not refute, but just watched his movements quietly.
Qi Xia's hand has already been placed on the white rhinoceros horn domino, she smiled slightly and gently opened it.
Lu Wushuang naturally saw the contents of the folded card, and he couldn't help but laugh.
He was such an ordinary middle-aged man, but now his mouth was exaggeratedly enlarged. His movements were extremely heroic, but no sound came out of his wide-open throat.
He was obviously laughing loudly, but you could only tell this, but when you closed your eyes, it seemed like nothing happened.
Qi Xia was not surprised. He knew the identity of the Wushuangbo master before he came, but it was only at this moment that the Wushuangbo master understood his identity.
The cover card he turned over had only a white tower on it.
A huge white tower standing in the lake.
The ace cards in each Pai Gow picture are different. There are kings, gods, or stars and suns, and they are all innumerable.
But there is only one trump card in this deck of Pai Gow, which is the Tower in the Lake.
Qi Xia has many unknown secrets, and even Aoxue Hua Mo Xiaojing, who is also a member of the Big Three, does not know much about his details.
But one of his secrets is always the most important.
That is - he is a prophet.
A prophet is different from a prophet.
He has a keener insight into the future than others, and can even "see" the fuzzy future sometimes. Therefore, during Operation Flame City, he single-handedly invited Carotes and Ling Yi, two elders who are not elders, to be better than others. The existence of the elders came to help him hold down the enemy in secret.
But he didn't know where these dangers came from and how they unfolded.
Therefore, he is not a saint and cannot escape from the turbulent flow of fate. He is alone and can only drift with the current in this turbid river. But what is different from others is that he has a pair of eyes that can see farther.
Just like he did in that near-miraculous gamble before.
He just "looked at" the points in the future gambling cup and told Qian Qiao about the number, making Qian Qiao an invincible queen. This was more terrifying than any cheating method.
Because the only way you can crack him is to escape the fate he sees.
This is probably something only a saint can do.
Therefore, when Lu Wushuang appeared, he could only choose to terminate the bet, and then use a leopard to deal with the future he saw at the beginning of Pai Gow.
Otherwise, no matter how hard the people in the casino try, Qi Xia doesn't have to do anything and just wait and see how fate puts an impossible leopard in front of everyone.
Originally, nothing would have happened, because Qi Xia had no motive to come to Yanshi, until - he clearly saw his own death in his dream.
He himself was involved in the death vortex of fate and fell into his own death prophecy. This was the last thing that every foreseer - or magician - wanted to see.
To this end, he went to find the Lord of Xicheng, the man who truly knew almost everything.
Then Yi Lanshan asked him to come here to find this person.
This person has similar abilities to him.
Yes, the reason why Lu Wushuang is undefeated in the casino is because he has a prophetic eye.
What happened next was an unexpected encounter.
Qi Xia followed the caravan to Yanshi and got drunk as a mercenary while visiting the most famous casino in Yanshi.
Qianqiao was outside of his plan, but the girl impressed him at that moment, so he decided to give her a new future.
To a fortune teller like him, this kind of gift is like a randomly tossed coin - except that he understands what it means to the person who catches the coin.
To put it simply, everything he is doing now is to avoid his own death and meet this person who can enlighten him.
But this meeting was not as easy as imagined.
Walking in the outside world with his identity is like a burning torch in the darkness, and it is difficult for others to ignore his position and purpose. However, there are too many important people in this world who are interested in him, so he can only disguise himself, wrapped in layers of masks and slowly let others judge what his true intentions are.
When everything he wanted to hide was revealed, he lost the value of walking in this world.
"I never thought that the Master of Qixia Pavilion would have such a close relationship with the Mountain Master." Lu Wushuang finally stopped laughing and said slowly.
He is one of the top figures in the West City and is responsible for the intelligence affairs of the entire Stur Empire. However, there are only three people who are qualified to contact him, including his peers and subordinates.
Now there is finally one more.
Still holding the token he placed in the hands of the mountain owner.
"The Fei Xin Gym Leaders of all generations have had a good relationship with the Mountain Master." Qi Xia Youyou said: "But there is really no one like me."
Don't look at the fact that Fei Xin Gym's usual disregard for those beasts is due to their lack of moral integrity. In fact, the serious fighting power of those dead nerds is definitely not inferior to that of any of the three major clubs. It's just that they usually focus on strange things. Something strange has happened.
As the leader of the Feixin Gym, Qi Xia is absolutely qualified to maintain his independence and has a bright future. He has no reason to give up so many things to seek this level of trust from the mountain master.
"Everything that seems unreasonable has its own reason in the end." Qi Xia smiled and then said this sentence softly.
Lu Wushuang exhaled slowly: "I am qualified to believe in the mountain master's trust in you."
The previous words were the conversations he had with Qi Xia when he knew one thing but not the other. It was really worth a hundred pieces of gold.
But now, Lu Wushuang smiled slightly.
"Since you have already decided, why do you still come to ask me?"
Qi Xia gently pressed the picture of the Tower in the Lake on the table and smiled silently: "It's a matter of life and death, so you have to confirm it before you accept it."
Lu Wushuang couldn't help but nodded - this man's character was indeed as close to perfect as the legend said.
So he asked: "You still have half a quarter of an hour of safe time here. Is there anything else you want to know?"
There is still half an hour left - no matter what the situation, the safe handover time in Xicheng is always controlled within half an hour, so at this time, Qi Xia actually does not have much time to stay.
Hearing this, Qi Xia couldn't help but nodded heavily and smiled: "I really have a request."
"explain."
"That kid outside is a pretty good prospect, isn't it? Boss, are you interested in accepting a closed disciple?"
Lu Wushuang frowned: "Why?"
From his limited understanding of Qi Xia, he knew that the power possessed by the other party was not inferior to any force in the world. To him, Qian Qiao's level of beauty was not worth mentioning.
But at this moment, he would actually promise himself such a favor for such an insignificant girl.
Qi Xia stretched out on the soft chair and gently patted Senior Zhou Yan who was sleeping like a dead pig.
Senior Zhou Yan has been in a drunken semi-conscious state. Every word of the conversation between Qi Xia and Lu Wushuang just now is valuable information, but Qi Xia has no scruples in letting this good-for-nothing senior stay by her side. ——Even in a coma.
Qi Xia stretched out her lazy waist, feeling that the hard work of this day and night was finally worth it, and then she nodded and smiled.
"She won't make you regret it."
"besides."
"I like her eyes."
