Chapter 125: A Penny (9)
Deng Mian pointed at himself in disbelief, but Chu Zhixia nodded at him affirmatively. Deng Mian has been messing around in the pile since he grew up as a teenager, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, but he is rarely nervous about this small dice cup.
Deng reluctantly took the dice cup from Chu Zhixia's hand, and shook as he listened to his drum-like heartbeat. Everyone at the table except Chu Shixia was looking at him, but Chu Shixia casually tapped his fingers on the table.
Deng Mian only felt that the dice were not dangling in the dice cup, but in his head. His soul and body seemed to be split in two, and his body was still shaking the dice mechanically, but his soul had already jumped onto the roof of the casino and spun and trampled wildly.
Chu Zhixia stared at Bo Tou across the table, with a faint smile on his lips. Botou was confident, but he couldn't help sweating in his palms. Deng Mian shook the dice and slapped it on the table, drawing an end to this whim gamble.
Chu Zhixia suddenly moved, she didn't even stand up, grabbed Deng Mian's hand, and pressed the dice cup heavily on the table. The afterglow of strength passed from the dice cup to Deng Mian's hand, and half of his arm was numb. He turned his head to look at Chu Zhixia blankly, and Chu Zhixia withdrew his hand and made a "please" gesture.
Deng Mian swallowed violently and opened the dice cup.
A three, a four, a one.
Deng Mian's mind was empty all of a sudden, and Bo Tou was relieved, revealing an inevitable smile. Deng Mian panicked and wanted to grab the dragon blood jade ring on the table, but Chu Zhixia took his hand.
"Don't worry, it's still yours." Chu Zhixia said.
As her words fell, the dice on the table parted, and mercury slowly flowed from the cracks.
The old gamblers shouted at once: "He is out of a thousand!" He lost! ”
Dice filled with mercury is a common method in casinos, and it is not clever, but it is better to use. Ordinary people have no chance of touching the dice at all, and after the mercury changes the weight of the dice, the number of points rolled is uncontrollable.
And Chu Zhixia didn't do anything, she just keenly noticed that the weight of the dice was wrong when she took the dice, and then shattered the dice in the last blow.
"According to the rules of the casino, the odds of 1 to 10 are now 1 to 300. The dragon blood jade ring, the water rank jade, the bag full of golden beans, and the money of all the people I dragged and played with on this table, you have to pay me three hundred times. ”
Chu Zhixia took the lead in grabbing the dragon blood jade ring and slapped it in Deng Mian's arms, pressing the table with both hands, and leaning forward slightly. It was an oppressive position, and Botou had vaguely heard from the guy who was ventilating the news that this tricky guest had an unfathomable background, but she was still forced to breathe.
"Why, you don't think you're trying to pay the bills, are you?" Chu Zhixia threw up a golden bean and smiled maliciously, "If you're like this, I'm going to find Yu Linwei to evaluate it." ”
Needless to say, the water rank jade, the dragon blood jade ring is even more priceless. The gambling money on this table was forcibly raised to two or three thousand taels of silver, and according to the odds, Sanfu Casino would pay Chu Shixia at least 600,000 taels of silver! Not to mention that Jiang Changgongzi was using money, even in normal times, he couldn't take out so much silver at once.
Bo Tou thought of Jiang Changgongzi's temper, and was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on his back, and he forced a smile at Chu Zhixia: "The guest is laughing, please follow me to the second floor to talk to the owner in detail." ”
"Let your owner come down and talk to me, otherwise I'll sit here and not leave, and this gamble will be like this." Chu Zhixia pulled out a chair and sat down, like a hooligan, "Don't think about doing a business today." ”
Some people are attracted by the exciting gambling here, and they don't see the excitement, but they take a clean look at the privacy of the casino owner. The clever guest quietly retreated to the exit, only to find that the exit had been blocked by vicious thugs. This murderous posture forced the gamblers' nature of bullying the soft and fearing the hard in their hearts to explode, pushing and shoving to rush out.
Chu Zhi Xia An sat like a mountain, added fuel and vinegar and said: "What are you running, don't run!" I don't know if I thought that the casino owner had been knocked out of the old man and the debt, and he wanted to kill everyone's mouth tonight. ”
Bo Tou's throat choked, and just about to refute, Chu Zhixia smiled again and said, "Young Master Jiang, I'll give you an idea." It's too troublesome to kill so many people one by one, so you just set a fire and burn all the people and physical evidence. ”
These words were like sparks hitting charcoal, and they suddenly knocked the already panicked crowd into a boil. The crowd rushed out regardless of it, and even grabbed the gold, silver, and copper coins on the gambling table and put them in their pockets, picked up the scale pole and smashed the guy's head, and cried wolf howls while smashing.
The two sides were in a scuffle for a while, Deng Mian was almost stumbled by the crazy crowd, and Chu Zhixia grabbed him and jumped onto the gambling table. Deng Mian didn't react, and the next moment he saw a ghostly figure standing where they were sitting. The chair split in half, and the man slowly straightened up, carrying his twin knives.
"The surname is Jiang, did you have the gastrodia stewed pig brain for dinner?" Chu Shixia sneered, "600,000 taels of silver, you will kill the son of Dali Siqing." That pig brain was stewed for you by Chen Boyan himself? ”
Jiang Changgongzi stood in the corridor on the second floor, holding the railing with both hands, and his face turned red because of Chu Zhixia's foul words, "He died here today because of the poor supervision of Sanfu Casino, and the gamblers knocked over the candles under the chaos." But you were the one who brought him to the casino, how could Dali Siqing hate me? ”
Chu Zhixia laughed, "You should be the Dali Siqing and you have a brain?" ”
Deng Mian inexplicably felt a little weird.
"Kill her, don't let either of you go!" Jiang Changgongzi said angrily.
Chu Zhixia grabbed Deng Mian and flew out backwards, she pressed Deng Mian on the wall with her backhand, stepped on the wall with one foot and kicked the chest of the double knifeman who rushed over. The double knifeman was heart-lung convulsed, spit out a mouthful of blood foam uncontrollably, and looked up at Chu Zhixia viciously.
Chu Zhixia pulled out the drinking stream snow and stood in front of Deng Mian, twisted his wrist, and adjusted his breathing.
"I said, don't you know what kind of official Dali Siqing is?" Chu Shixia felt funny, "Don't die?" ”
The double swordsman rushed over without saying a word, his legs were slightly bent, and he burst out with amazing bounce force, and the double knife frame formed a cross volley and slashed down at Chu Zhixia! Chu Zhixia pressed Deng Mian and rolled him under the table, but she didn't have time to dodge the knife - the tip of her sword went down, lightly touched the ground, and at the moment when the blade approached the top of her skull, she rushed forward and crashed into the arms of the double swordsman.
With a knife chopped off by his own weight, if Chu Zhixia was blocked by a horizontal sword, he would be split in half by a sword with a sword. But when the Twin Swordsmen were closest to Chu Zhixia, it was when he approached empty-door, and life and death were only in an instant.
Drinking snow pierced through the twin bladers' abdomen and through his spine. Chu Zhixia couldn't control his strength, and rushed to the side of the gambling table against him. Blood rushed down the wound and hit the ground like a spring, Deng Mian lay under the table, his eyes widened, and he couldn't stop shaking.
The eyes of the double swordsman lit up suddenly, and with a mouthful of blood-soaked white teeth, he pushed his backhand on Chu Zhixia's shoulder. Chu Zhixia subconsciously hid for a moment, and immediately reacted that something was wrong. The double swordsman held the drinking stream snow and pulled the blade out of his body stiffly. He stabbed his backhand into the table, and the blade pierced straight through the table.
Deng Mian only felt that his breathing and heartbeat stopped at that moment, and the bright tip of the knife hung an inch above his eyes, and was strangled by an arrogant force, and he couldn't make any further progress.
Chu Zhixia kicked over the gambling table and lifted the depressed Deng Mian out. Deng Mian turned his head numbly to see that the swordsman who had sacrificed his life to take one of the two of them was dead, and the headless corpse was kneeling in a pool of blood.
"It didn't hurt, did you?" Chu Zhixia stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his eyes.
"Huh? It didn't hurt. Deng Mian stiffly turned his head to look at her.
Chu Zhixia frowned and looked at him, making sure that he didn't even have a hair-like wound on his body, and then he was relieved. On the second floor of the casino, dozens of canisters were smashed down, and the pungent smell spread.
"Really set fire?" Chu Zhixia scolded a dirty word that was so angry that everyone was angry, grabbed Deng Mian and ran to the edge of the casino.
But the casino was too big, and the panicked crowd was desperately squeezing out, and it was not easy for Chu Zhixia to run with Deng Mian. Deng Mian was unwilling, like a good puppet being dragged by her to run, and one of his shoes ran away.
The fire soon burned, and there was a pungent smell and flare everywhere.
Chu Shixia found a window, which had been sealed from the outside. Chu Zhixia chiseled the wooden plank with the drinking stream snow, and finally kicked the window directly and pulled Deng Mian out.
After the two escaped, they kept running and ran to the shore of the Mirror Washing Lake.
In front of the sparkling Xijing Lake, the moonlight spreads on the lake, and the wind ripples, like phosphorus powder flashing on the wings of a butterfly in the sun.
Deng Mian slipped out of Chu Zhixia's hand softly, knelt on the ground and vomited violently. Only then did Chu Zhixia notice that Deng Mian's face was blackened and white by the smoke, and there were a few scattered blood stains, his clothes were disheveled, and he looked like he had fled and returned.
Deng Mian remembered the shape of the blood splashing on the ground, remembered the situation when his head rolled into the crowd and was trampled several times, and his stomach tumbled. He only eased up a little, Chu Zhixia worriedly handed over a wet handkerchief, he smelled the blood on Chu Zhixia's body, and vomited again in disgust.
Chu Zhixia didn't dare to touch him this time, so he took three steps back away from him and put the wet handkerchief on the clean stone at his feet.
"Aren't you alright?" Chu Shixia was a little unbearable, "I'm sorry, I've bothered you this time." I didn't expect him to jump off a wall like this. ”
Deng Mian waved his hand weakly. He suddenly remembered something, and looked at Chu Zhixia in horror, "What about Jiang Qiao?" Did you leave her alone, did you leave her in the casino? ”
Chu Zhixia seemed to have heard some nonsense, "She's behind your back." ”
When Deng Mian turned around, he was frightened.
Jiang Qiao stood silently behind him and raised his hand to take off his hood. The lights on the pavilion in the distance reflected Jiang Qiao's plain face, as pure as a white peony under the moon.
"What's wrong with Deng Gongzi?" Jiang Qiao asked.
"I'm scared." Chu Zhixia shrugged, shook off the blood beads on the sword, and put the sword into the sheath.
Deng Mian felt that something was wrong, "You don't know what happened to us - you're not in Sanfu Casino?" ”
"I'm in another casino."
Jiang Qiao didn't say much, and threw the money bag in his hand into Chu Zhixia's hand. Chu Zhixia raised his hand to take it, first checked it in his hand, and then opened it and took a look. The bags were full of gold, real gold ingots.
Deng Mian was dumbfounded: "Are you going to rob the money?" ”
"If you have more money, you will naturally win more." Jiang Qiao didn't care.
"No, there are no fake in the Jiang family's casino. You can win if they go out of thousands? Deng Mian was even more puzzled.
"Are they the only ones who can give a thousand?" Jiang Qiao asked lightly.
If it was just Jiang Qiao going to the Jiang family's casino alone, winning too much would inevitably attract attention and suspicion, and coupled with Jiang Qiao's special identity, it would inevitably involve a lot of trouble. Therefore, Chu Zhixia took Deng Mian to swagger through the market, locking the attention of Jiang Changgongzi in Sanfu Casino.
When a large amount of money is off the table, the owner naturally can't be the master. However, Jiang Changgongzi was stubborn and self-serving, and regarded Chu Zhixia as a big trouble, and the owner would not dare to report it rashly. Jiang Qiao was able to smoothly get off the table with the money he had won.
"Enough money now?" Chu Zhixia returned the money bag to Jiang Qiao and asked casually.
"That's enough."
Not only is it enough, but it is also smashing a cash cow for Jiang Changgongzi.
Chu Zhixia and Jiang Qiao looked at the blazing Sanfu Casino in the distance and thought in unison.
