Qian Da looked at the middle-aged woman in front of him who was wearing a patch and had a dark yellow complexion, thinking that he had misheard:

"You... What are you talking about, auntie? You want to apply for a pitcher guard, hey no, do you know what a pitcher is? ”

It's really not that he looks down on people, even if the woman in front of him is dressed shabby, her eyebrows and eyes are low, and she is obviously an ordinary woman who hasn't experienced any big scenes.

And throwing pots has always been a trick played by the upper-class nobles, and ordinary people don't have the time to learn.

Gu Danxue clenched her fists, "I... I would really throw pots. ”

Qian Da had a headache, and felt that this woman was afraid that she was crazy about money. Wang Er, another guy on the side, sneered disdainfully,

"Okay, you said you could throw a pot, right? See the broken dog basin in front of you? ”

As he spoke, he picked up a thumb-thick branch: "Come, you take this branch, stand here and throw it into the broken pot, you have to have the right head to throw it in, and the young master will have your surname ...... today."

He smiled maliciously, clearly with a hint of teasing.

However, before he could finish speaking, his smile froze at the corners of his mouth. I saw Gu Danxue solemnly take the branch, lift it, and throw it lightly in the direction of the broken pot, and with a click, the branch fell steadily into the pot.

After doing all this, she turned her head to look at Wang Er, and said seriously: "You can't have my surname, my father won't agree!" ”

Wang Er: "......" Who wants to have your surname! Can't you hear hurtful words?

……

In short, in the end, Qian Da led Gu Danxue to Fa Cai Ju.

Fa Cai Ju is the largest casino in the west of the city, and Gu Danxue was led to meet a steward here. After the steward saw her pitching skills, he was obviously surprised, but his brows were slightly relaxed.

After explaining the rules to her. Glancing at her figure and dressing, after thinking about it, she summoned a maid to take her down to change her clothes.

When she came out again, she was a short, emaciated man.

She touched her face, and was very glad that the disguise Cui Lingling made for her was real enough. She followed the steward through the noisy antechamber and through the doors,

As the largest casino in the west of the city, it is naturally impossible to limit the things that can be played to traditional gambling methods such as rolling dice and dice.

Behind the casino, there are halls, boxing rings, the kind that kills, the Colosseum, and even human-animal fights. Other than that, of course. In order to cater to the children of some powerful officials and eunuchs, it is natural to get some elegant gameplay, such as throwing pots.

When Gu Danxue came to the venue, there were already many people standing there, and from time to time there were men's congratulatory voices.

Where had she seen such a scene, she hesitated to go in, and even had some urge to escape. In the end, he followed the steward in.

Guan pointed at Gu Danxue. Introduced to everyone on the field, this is the new guard.

In order to let the guests understand the level of the guard, the steward routinely asked Gu Danxue to compete with a burly man on the side.

In such a big field, it is naturally impossible to have only one guard, but Li Er, who broke his hand before, is more famous.

A few guests subconsciously glanced at Gu Danxue, and when they saw her shrinking eyes, they retracted their gaze without disappointment, and even some gentlemen directly laughed and said that there was no one in Fa Caiju!

The steward's face did not change in the slightest, and the two began to compete.

Gu Danxue clenched the arrow nervously, and her hand trembled uncontrollably.

Something that can be easily done in private, but in front of so many people, I feel that my hands and feet are trembling.

I can't help but wonder, what if she loses?

She knew that someone in the shadows must follow her, if she just turned around and left. Will the princess and others be disappointed? And my father, my father will definitely dislike him even more......

Thinking of this, her hand holding the sword envoy suddenly became firm. She silently comforted herself in her heart, she was not even afraid of death, what was there to be afraid of these people?

Pitching pots was first a kind of drinking and banquet etiquette for scholars, and later with the changes of the times, it slowly evolved into an entertainment project in the upper circles. The gameplay also increases the difficulty by shifting a single arrow into the spout in the corresponding position. From just throwing it, to later adding to this layer there are beginning, even in the middle, through the ear, scattered arrows, full pot, and Xiao arrows.

She stared at the ear-piercing pot on the opposite shelf, only to hear a click, and the arrow fell steadily into the spout, followed by the strong man on the side.

There was a burst of cheers around, and the two sides were tied, but Gu Danxue was a little dissatisfied.

Immediately afterwards, the next arrow, the arrow thrown by Gu Danxue fell into the pot ear, that is, the piercing ear, this sword was obviously more difficult than just now.

However, then, with a series of cheers, the strong man on his side also threw his ears, which means that the two are tied again.

Gu Danxue frowned, according to the rules that the steward had just told her, there were a total of four people in charge of throwing pots and guarding. Guests can choose one person to compete with at will.

Naturally, it costs money, and before that, the four guards will have a competition, and if they win, the price of each game is two taels of silver, and the rest are one tael.

She quickly calculated in her heart that if she won, she would earn five taels per game, deducting three taels of the casino commission, which means that if she wants to earn a full hundred taels, she only needs to win fifty games.

She immediately stopped hesitating, and picked up the remaining two arrows at the same time. He took a few steps back, and before everyone could react, only two crisp sounds were heard. It turned out to be two arrows thrown at the same time, and it was the most difficult arrow in the pitcher.

There was silence for a moment, and then there was a thunderous cheer.

Gu Danxue stood in the crowd, although she still lowered her eyebrows and didn't dare to look at people, there was an indescribable excitement in her heart, a strange excitement of being recognized.

The strong man on the side clenched his fists, and his eyes crossed the gloom.

After a while, a man in brocade with a fan threw five taels of silver into the plate in front of her.

Since it is in a casino, it is impossible to escape a gambling word. According to the rules, each person can hold eight arrows in a pot throwing game.

As long as the guest can win five times in a row, then he will receive ten times the amount of silver he had been given, that is, fifty taels.

But there is basically no bad money for those who can come here. They just go for the thrill of winning.

The two began to compete, involving their own interests, and Gu Danxue was still a little nervous.

But I thought of the dark night, the woman curled up and lying in the cold corner, and her hand holding the arrow became firm again.

Not surprisingly, the man in brocade didn't win. He threw the arrow at the ground. Angrily cursed.

Just when Gu Danxue was nervous, the other party threw another piece of silver, gritted his teeth and said, "Come again."

Next, the number of people who threw silver to compete with Gu Danxue gradually increased. Let everyone see what it means to be "undefeated"

As there was more and more silver on the plate, Gu Danxue went through the initial excitement. The arm gradually became sore. She had to change her hands.

But because of her "repeated victories", the atmosphere on the field was high at this time.

The news here spread to other venues, and many people had an attitude of luck or not admitting defeat, in short, more and more people were looking for Gu Danxue to compete.

Gu Danxue felt that her hands were about to be wasted, which reminded her of the time when she first practiced pitching, but at that time she was just practicing in private, and she could rest when she was tired. But now she can't stop.

In fact, Gu Danxue is too honest, if someone else is a big person, he can use the excuse of wanting to go to the toilet or the side to ease up.

The strong man who had competed with Gu Danxue before sneered. Where did this come from?

In their line of work, they deal with gamblers all year round, and the consideration is always how to get the most money out of the pockets of customers.

Often after one or several games, he always loses a few times, so that the guest feels that as long as he is given another chance, he will definitely win. is not like Gu Danxue, who really compares with others.

And those who can come here are not bad for money, as long as they say some good things and make the guests happy, the reward will definitely be much more profitable than such a tiring and tiring work.

He just watched with cold eyes, waiting to see when Gu Danxue couldn't hold on and made a joke.

Gu Danxue really couldn't hold on, she felt that her hands were trembling, and because of this, she rarely missed her head twice in a row, which made the people who were waiting to compete with her more and more excited.

But looking at the small piles of silver on the plate, she seemed to have strength again.

She said silently in her heart: There are still twenty more times, as long as I hold on. I will earn a hundred taels of silver. can redeem the flamboyant woman.

From this point, it can be seen that she is actually a tendon character, and if she recognizes someone or something, she will go all the way to the dark.

During this period, she couldn't think of and wouldn't consider taking shortcuts.

Nineteen more ...... Fifteen ...... Ten ......

She gritted her teeth like this, obviously her shoulders were almost unconscious, but she overdrew her limit again and again.

Finally, five times...... Twice...... Once......

Under the brawny man's disbelieving gaze, she threw away the last arrow in her hand. Exhaled slowly.

At this time, because of her strong record, basically no one on the field dared to come forward to challenge.
