Book 26 Chapter 11 – Wind and Clouds[1] in the Casino

At the corner of the last hall, Liu An said with a laugh to Kou Zhong, “Xiaoren was right! These four fat sheep are all fro to?”

Kou Zhong was greatly astonished Just now Liu An pointed four men to hiui who disguised himself as a fat sheep But the other three were really out-of-town fat sheep; he could not help feeling at a loss If he did not choose Lai Chaogui, wouldn’t Liu An’s cheating sche only had one ga style, which was Tian Jiu

Tian Jiu and Pai Jiu were both using the same dominoes, but they were played differently

To meet should be held in this thirty-table hall This moment every table was surrounded by more than a hundred people, so it was very noisy

Liu An leaned close to Kou Zhong’s ear again and said, “Perhaps we’d better divide these four men into four doors, in succession Daye can then take two doors”

Kou Zhong’s had an idea, he said, “Let’s take the two doors at the back!” Lai Chaogui was not in one of those doors; he wanted to see how Liu An would react

Unexpectedly Liu An shouted an acclalibly said, “Daye really has ability; you are able to see the two doors at the back are not as good as the sheep at the front two doors; certainly you have original insight The fat sheep at the two front doors, the one wearing blue gown surna appearance Naturally it cannot escape Daye’s discerning eye”

Kou Zhong was angry but was a skill, he also had enough to show off On the surface it looked like you are the onehis glib tongue doing the selection for you But the fisher pretended to be unsure, “Of course,” he said

By lucky coincidence, thisthe hall, so he busily waving his hand to greet hi hi table to make a bet

Surprised, Liu An asked, “Is that Daye’s friend?”

Lowering his voice, Kou Zhong replied, “Speaking about fat sheep, that guy is really a big fat sheep He owns xi, as well as abundant family property He may lose one, two thousand taels of silver, and his countenance won’t change a bit”

Liu An’s pair of mousy eyes iether to your heart’s content?”

Shaking his head, Kou Zhong said, “There are a lot of choices to place a bet in here, plus he knew thatto bet against us?”

Liu An roused his tongue like a reed [idioht now the casino is too crowded, you can only place a bet on other people’s cards; how can it co on your own cards?”

Frowning, Kou Zhong said, “Didn’t we already find our fat sheep?”

Liu An said, “Two fat sheep are naturally better than one Let us decide on soo separately tolost three ti chips More and athered around the table, they all placed their bet on Hu Xiaoxian’s cards Even the gaainst her were now placing their bets on the face-off between Xu Ziling and Hu Xiaoxian

For Xu Ziling, whether it was a win or a loss, everything was extremely important; but for Hu Xiaoxian, at aze of Hu Xiaoxian’s black, fluid beautiful eyes, which were as cal felt like he wanted to bore a hole on the ground and hide in it Without any better option he pretended to look down to shuffle the cards, not daring to look at her Inwardly he cursed Lei Jiuzhi, who had gone without any trace

Pai Jiu card game used the dots of two dice to make up thirty-two cards, twenty-one styles of cards, nine types of odd nueneral, the ga the roll of the dice to determine the number of dots, each draas six cards, the banker drew an extra card and took the lead to play his cards, and then the other players play their cards in succession, whether to et rid of their cards The cards in their hands could be composed of two suits plus one barbarian suit [not sure: 夷牌 (yi pai)], which could be pushed forward to triu bet was calculated according to the suit’s ratio and the yi pai’s points [Note: the ‘cards’ here refer to do was about to roll the dice and deal the cards when a clear, sweet, gentle and beautiful voice rang out, “Hold on!”

Stunned, everybody looked up A thousand-tender, a hundred-char who-knohat kind of shenfa already squeezed through the crowd and took position at the very front, in a graceful and touching posture sat down on the seat between Hu Xiaoxian and Xu Ziling With a hint of se of the excitement”

Everybody could only stare blankly at her, bedazzled by her beauty, ot to protest that with this interference, the game was delayed

Beauty like Hu Xiaoxian was already rare in the world, and yet this newcomer beauty was at least half a notch above her

Shockingly, she was Wan Yaonu’s shi+’er

In that instant, Xu Ziling suddenly calht and clear as the htest bit by distracting thoughts

Hu Xiaoxian was also curiously sizing up this beautiful and alluring addition to their gaaze Laughing cala’er perfor her shoulders, indicating that she did not mind “Please do as you wish!+” she spoke indifferently

Xu Ziling reached out to shuffle the tiles

For some unknown reason, the crowd felt their heart suddenly tensed up; nobody made any noise, they all held their breath to watch with full attention

Bai Qing’er’s eyes were fixed on Xu Ziling’s sparkling and translucent like jade slender pal to pry into the depth of Xu Ziling’s foundation froht to shuffle the tiles

After repeated ‘Click! Clack!’ noise, Xu Ziling piled up the tiles neatly

It was because now he had a powerful enemy nearby that he was finally able to control his -tile skill that Lei Jiuzhi taught hi to tiles rubbing against tiles he was able to remember several cards Naturally it would be ideal if he could remember all 32 cards, but it was simply impossible

Lei Jiuzhi was only able to re’s limit, yet it was extremely useful already

For the first tirave expression; obviously it was because of Xu Ziling’s technique and his ‘listening to the tiles’ skill

Everybody started to place their bets This aspect was taken care of by the casino personnel, calculation and co care all by itself, so Xu Ziling did not have to worry about it

Xu Ziling smiled, handed the dice to Hu Xiaoxian, and said calmly and indifferently, “How about Xiaojie [Miss] roll the dice for this round?”

Hu Xiaoxian was startled, but then she took the dice and threw the unstable situation

Xu Ziling looked at Bai Qing’er; the divine light in his eyes suddenly flared out

Bai Qing’er was caught off-guard by his gaze, her fragrant heart shi+vered slightly

Xu Ziling sent out his true qi fro of the table and traveled toward the dice still rolling on the table Not only thisthat Lei Jiuzhi could accomplish, the fact is that not many people in the world could do this

Due to the subtle relationshi+p between Xu Ziling, Hu Xiaoxian and Bai Qing’er, this corner of the hall was enveloped in extraordinary atmosphere; it was tense like the bow that has been pulled taut, full of accu turned his gaze toward the dice, the dice have stopped rolling; all three of them showed three dots, for a total of nine points

Gasps of surprise rippled a the spectators

Hu Xiaoxian suddenly said, “I have not asked for Sire’s honorable surna Chenchun,” Xu Ziling casually replied And then, turning toward the stall officer representing the casino, he said, “Please deal the cards”

It was only thiswas adumb; busily he dealt the tiles for the three

The crowd craned their necks, watching attentively in full concentration Although all around them the noise shook the hall, in this corner the crow and peacock ’s self-confidence and composure in the face of the enemy has been fully restored When each of them has received two cards, he suddenly called for a halt and said, “What do you say we bet on big or small, with the card as the tie-breaker?”

Hu Xiaoxian did not even cast a glance with the corner of her eye toward the cards on the table; her pretty eyebrows slightly knitted, she looked at Xu Ziling For the first tieous position

This kind of ga’s new creation Turned out Pai Jiu hastwo cards becoroup, after the roll of the dice, the number of dots indicate the points that one earned, which then extended with the spread-out tiles to determine the winner This was coa did was very rare; however, it increased the excitehted
