After Xiao Dao and Tang Tian swept away a table of dishes in the room, they went out like a hall. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info never thought that the thug Wang Ren had been guarding the small courtyard, and when he saw the two of them coming out, he immediately greeted him with a smile.
"This boy, is the food still delicious?" asked Wang Ren.
"Yes, yes, those dishes are well made and very delicious. Tang Tian said.
"That's good, do you want to go inside and play two games?" Wang Ren asked.
"Well, that's what I mean, and I'm going to let you lead the way. Tang Tian said.
"Don't dare, don't dare, haven't you asked this son's noble surname yet?" Wang Ren asked.
"My son-in-law's surname is Meng, and he is going to buy a batch of tea in the Jiangnan area. This kind of thing is usually introduced by the subordinate to appear to have an identity, and the knife immediately replied first.
"Oh, what layer is Meng Gongzi going to play on?" Wang Ren asked.
"Let's just walk around here and try our hand style. Tang Tian said.
Tang Tian took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels and handed it to Wang Rendao: "Go and exchange some chips for me." ā
Wang Ren obediently took the silver ticket and immediately ran to exchange it, and came back after a while.
"Alright, you'd better go ahead of your business first, and don't follow us. If necessary, my son-in-law will come to you again. Xiaodao felt that Wang Ren had been following him and was in the way, and was ready to send him away.
"Yes, yes, the little one is standing aside, calling me at any time if necessary. After Wang Ren finished speaking, he smiled and walked away.
Knife and Tang Tian began to walk around the hall, looking east and west.
"What now?" Tang Tian asked.
"He was testing us just now, to see how much strength we have, instead of letting him see, it is better to win a few hands here, let him watch the real money, and naturally he will come and invite us up again in a while. Knife said.
"Well, yes, that's what I thought. Tang Tian said.
"I think all you want is to play a few games. Knife said.
"Don't talk nonsense, then what can you do to make a steady profit? Seriously, if you lose, I'm afraid you will be swept out of the house, let alone go upstairs. Tang Tian said.
"If you want to say that gambling skills may not work, but I've been listening well, so let's go play big and small. Knife said.
"Really?" Tang Tian was skeptical.
The two came to the big and small gambling board, this gambling plate is very simple, a big, a small, if you meet a leopard this is the dealer to eat, this simple decoration is the most crowded place in the field.
Tang Tian asked, "Big or small." ā
"Let's see. The knife said as he looked at the people inside.
"Try it first, you see that Wang Ren has been staring at us. Tang Tian said.
Seeing that the dealer had already begun to shake the dice, Tang Tian was a little undecided, and a stack of chips was playing back and forth in his hand. The dealer "bang", has already deducted the box, shouted: "There is a bet!"
The man beside them, dressed in ordinary cloth and looking like a scholar but covered with grease, seemed to have been here for several hours, and his hair, which had been tied up neatly, was messy because of the constant scratching of his hands, and he looked like an unlucky man. I saw his eyes wandering, looking at the big and small plates, and then looking around, and finally slapped the small chips in his hand, and shouted: "Small! I don't believe you can open five big in a row." ā
The gambler next to his shabby scholar didn't seem to be much better than him, and he also shouted: "Xiao, I don't believe it anymore." "With this circle of gamblers betting one by one, it is obvious that the board is much more small than large.
Tang Tian looked at this plate and was about to press it on the small top, but the knife immediately reached out to stop it, and whispered, "What are you going to do?"
"You didn't hear them say it's five big, it's going to be small. Tang Tian also said softly, so he pressed it into the small plate.
The dealer swept across the room and shouted, "Okay, buy and leave." As soon as his right hand held the treasure box, the knife's ears suddenly moved, and he heard a slight tremor in the treasure box, and immediately shouted: "Slow!" randomly grabbed the remaining chips in Tang Tian's hand and threw them into the big plate. Tang Tian was stunned for a while, and asked quietly, "What are you doing here?" ā
The knife patted Tang Tian on the back with one hand, and said softly, "It's right to believe me." ā
"Okay, open!" the dealer shouted, opened the treasure box, and the three dice were five five three.
"Five-five-three, thirteen o'clock old! Eat small and lose big!" the dealer shouted again.
This round of gamblers lamented again, and one of them said to his partner on the side: "Look at your daughter, this is five big in a row, and she has won five in a row. Many gamblers looked in the direction of the woman.
After the knife took the winning chips, he also followed the gamblers to look at the woman.
She was wearing a pale green brocade robe, a wisp of green silk on her chest, the beautiful lines of her neck and collarbones were clearly visible, her skin was delicate and smooth, and her eyes were clear and translucent.
The knife handed the chips into Tang Tian's hand, pressed it hard, and whispered: "You just follow that person to place a bet, it must be right." ā
Tang Tian originally followed the woman to bet suspiciously, she bet on the big Tang Tian to bet big, and he bet on the small Tang Tian to bet on the small.
After a few more, the one hundred taels in Tang Tian's hand had become one thousand taels, and Tang Tian was already happy, but the woman had always been calm and tireless.
At this time, one of the gamblers with a beard on his face couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, slapped the gambling table hard, glared at the woman and shouted: "Ge Laozi, you stinky girl, why do you press anything, Lao Tzu can't hit no matter how you press, you must have used the evil law and let that person give you a pendulum." ā
As soon as the bearded man said this, the table instantly quieted down, causing the dealer to be a little unhappy, and said loudly: "I said this brother, you are unlucky and blame others, if you can't afford to lose and leave early, don't disturb the interest of others here." ā
"I can't afford to lose? Lao Tzu has a lot of money and nowhere to spend, you have a ghost, out of a thousand, I just can't see you here. The bearded man roared.
The dealer glanced to the side, and the four thugs were slowly approaching.
"Look at your appearance, evil form, such an unbearable person, naturally it is bad luck, I just don't want to go down with you. The woman's face did not change, and she said slowly.
"What an arrogant mother-in-law, see if I don't teach you a lesson. As he spoke, the bearded man stretched out his right hand to grab the woman.
A phantom of the knife had already reached the big man's side, and as soon as his right hand was stretched, he squeezed the big man's wrist in his hand.
The big man raised his eyebrows and glared angrily, and shouted: "Where did you come from, you are so blind, dare to stand in my way." With that, he clenched his left hand into a fist and swung it towards the knife's cheek.
The knife pulled the big man's right hand with all his might. The bearded man's punch was on his own hand. The big man in pain groaned. The knife pushed again, and the big man fell backwards, and suddenly as if he had tripped something, his butt fell backwards and fell heavily to the ground. The knife looked to the side, and it turned out that Tang Tian had already walked behind the big man at some point, stretched out a leg, and mixed it on his ankle.
At this time, the four thugs stepped forward together, grabbed the big man's limbs, and carried him out forcefully.
The knife turned around at this moment, looking at the woman closely, his eyes were bright, the powder was blowing, and a faint smile was on his mouth.
At this moment, Tang Tian stepped forward, saw the demeanor of the knife, hurriedly waved his hand, cut off the knife's gaze from it, and politely arched his hand: "The girl is frightened." ā
"It doesn't matter. The woman didn't look at Tang Tian either, but still looked at the knife and said.
