Chapter 80: Casino Killing
The game continued, and my copper went from four to eight and from eight to sixteen.
An hour later, when I threw the copper into the little print on the table again, I had won the dealer forty-six times.
The copper is still the same copper, but the number it represents is horribly large, because I bet the whole number on each time.
The pride on Lu Xiaohouye's face had disappeared when he opened the twenty-smallest, and the smile on his face when he opened the thirty-fourth was gone.
He seemed to be on the verge of crying as he stared at the copper I had thrown at the little print, and his hand, which had always been as steady as a stone, shook like chaff.
The people who acted as spectators around them had already consciously closed their mouths and stopped shouting loudly to cheer for Lu Xiaohouye, because they were worried that they would make a noise and affect the ideas in the dice cup, causing Lu Xiaohouye to lose another game and be implicated, and no one could afford the consequences, even if they were bankrupt.
Lu Xiaohouye's hand pressed on the dice cup and seemed to freeze, because he knew that the ideas in the dice cup were still small, he didn't use any techniques, and all the people sitting there were people with status, and he really couldn't do a thousand such actions that lost his identity, which was really an insult to his identity.
Today's dice are really evil, and he actually shook out forty-eight small ones one after another, and each one of them made me bet.
With his family's assets, he couldn't afford to lose an astronomical amount of bets, so he wanted to keep betting, and as long as he could win the last game, all the lost bets would be won back.
This is the gambler's gambling psychology, they always fantasize that their next hand will run from time to time to get a good deck of cards, only one will be the previous output to win back all the back, but this psychology just buries the family and happiness of countless people, because they will always lose the last steel jump on their body before leaving the casino and returning to reality to face the cruel life.
I sat in my seat and looked at Lu Xiaohou with a smile on my face, and did not urge him to open the dice cup.
"I lost" After a while, Lu Xiao Houye gave up opening the dice cup, he stared at my eyes and said lightly, "Come on, calculate how much money he won today for His Royal Highness the Prince, calculate it clearly, and send it to the Houfu account room, so that Master Liu can raise money and send it to the palace."
"Master Lu, you really don't plan to continue?"
Lu Xiaohouye's wise move surprised me slightly, he did not rush to turn over the book like ordinary gamblers and chose to continue gambling, which shows that this person has self-control beyond ordinary people.
A man like him never takes money very seriously, because what he desires in his heart is more important than money, and that is power, supreme power.
Drunk and lying on the knees of a beauty, waking up to take charge of the world is the most wonderful dream in every man's heart, this kind of dream is a poison that pierces the intestines for ordinary men, but it is not untouchable for characters like Lu Xiaohouye, who are already at the top of the pyramid.
At this delicate moment, perhaps he only needs to blow lightly, and the war-torn edifice of the Qingfeng Dynasty will collapse, and he will stand on the ruins of the Qingfeng Dynasty and establish his own dynasty.
"Do you know, my Royal Highness the Prince," Lu Xiaohou said to me, "although you beat me today, the final winner of this gamble is always the banker."
"Master Lu," I replied to him lightly, "I don't know if you believe it or not? If this gamble continues, you will lose, and you won't even have a pair of underpants left! Do you think that by gathering the power in the hands of this group of wastes in the hall, you can do something beyond your strength, and let yourself go further on the road to heaven? Are you not afraid that you will take a road to the Yellow Springs that leads to hell?"
"I heard that your parents and two brothers and sisters have died in the council hall," the thin monkey son of the Chen Yushi family suddenly interjected and said, "Isn't His Royal Highness the prince worried about dying in the capital by accident?
"Oh, you are gathered here today because you are worried that I will die unexpectedly, and the Liu family will have no more blood to inherit the throne, so you are starting to prepare to choose a new heir to the throne?"
"No, His Royal Highness the Prince has misunderstood" The fat man who had asked Chen Gongzi to give way before walked behind me with a smile and said, "Chen Yuling means that His Royal Highness must take care of his body, you are already the only heir to the throne of the Qingfeng Dynasty, and the big guy still wants to rely on you to live a stable life for a few years."
The fat man who had walked behind me raised his right hand affectionately and gently patted me on the shoulder twice, his palm was thick and fat because of his fatness, and each finger was as thick and ugly as a sausage.
Four rings encrusted with gems on four fingers look like a nouveau riche stupid.
"How could this prince misunderstand everyone's kindness?" I didn't pay any attention to the fat man's overtures" Brother Ling Hu is really worried, I don't know if Ling Zun's body is well?
"Thanks to His Highness," the fat man knelt down almost gratefully when he saw that I attached so much importance to his father's role in the court, "Our father and son dare to disobey?"
The people around the hall all closed their mouths and stopped making a sound after the fat man walked out, and even Lu Xiaohouye, who was sitting opposite, remained silent, and they watched me and the fat man stage a good show of getting along with the prince as if they were watching a play.
"Brother Linghu, come, get up and sit next to me," I smiled and pulled up the fat man who was about to kneel on the ground and said to him, "It's rare to have such a good chat with my brother today, we might as well follow the example of the sages and talk about it at night."
"When、Of course it's no problem" The fat man's head began to sweat, I don't know if he was overexcited or nervous, in short, the fat all over his body was shaking involuntarily, and the words in his mouth were a little incoherent.
"What's the matter?Brother Linghu?" I asked him with concern, "Is it because you're not feeling well?" or are you wondering why the Wuyun grass toxin you injected into my body hasn't taken effect on time to poison me?"
"What is Your Highness talking about?" the fat man looked up in confusion and asked, "What is the Wuyun Grass Toxin?"
"Oh, Brother Linghu doesn't know what I'm talking about?" I kept a smile on my face and said, "Then I should have misunderstood Brother Linghu again, I'm really sorry, I'm sorry!"
I said sorry words, but I took the fat man's hand and was about to overlap his palms together to show my intimacy.
His right hand, with its four rings, slowly pressed against the back of his own left hand.
Linghu struggled to break free of my hand with all his strength, but no matter how much he gathered strength, he couldn't shake my steady palm.
The two fat palms quickly overlapped under my grasp, and Linghu's face finally changed.
