Don't see Chang'an as a place of happiness, it will make the years easy to be wasted.
——"Farewell to Wei Wan's Capital" Li Qi (Tang Dynasty)
…
In the next few games, Lu Zi and Zheng Lu were eager to regain their decline and placed bets frequently. Bai Fu was not impatient and folded at every turn. This move made Lu Zi and Zheng Lu unable to exert their strength, as if they were hit by a punch.
On the cotton, there is no effort in the air.
However, Bai Fu's hand was also seen by the three of them. As long as Bai Fu followed the bet, there would be a big card. Lu Zi and Zheng Lu played several cards and suffered big losses. When Bai Fu made a decisive bet, they immediately gave up.
It seemed that Bai Fu was following Ji Qianqian's teachings - he would only bet when he had the five highest cards in his hand.
Compared with Jia Chang's several rounds of great success and climax, the scenes of Bai Fu were quite ugly and not exciting at all.
However, this may be a good thing for Bai Fu. Although he doesn't win much, he rarely loses. Coupled with the thousand taels of gold he won from Lu and Zheng, if he persists, he may really be able to compete with the God of Gamblers.
Fight to a draw.
Time passed bit by bit, and Bai Fu still had a lot of chips left on the board, and the balance of victory seemed to be tilting towards Bai Fu again.
Ji Qianqian shook her head secretly. She had done the mental calculation twice and concluded that Bai Fu's chips on the board could not last for an hour. If this continued, Bai Fu would still lose. She could not just abandon her cards to defend, she had to counterattack.
Ji Qianqian secretly sent a signal to Bai Fu, reminding Bai Fu that he must attack.
The subtle expressions of the two people could not escape Gao Zhan's eyes. Ji Qianqian could figure out the cards, how could the God of Gamblers not figure out the cards?!
Gao Zhan could have waited for Bai Fu to fold his cards and survive until the end, and he would have won.
But Bai Fu had previously insinuated that Gao Zhan was a lackey of the royal family. Bai Fu's slander angered the God of Gamblers.
Gao Zhan not only wants to win, but also wants to win beautifully. He wants to win all of Bai Fu's chips, and even win all of Bai Fu's net worth, ruining his reputation! This is the supreme god of gambling!
…
Sure enough, after seeing Ji Qianqian's prompt, Bai Fu started to make a move. Instead of folding the hand, he chose to follow the bet.
God of Gambling Gao Zhan has been waiting for this moment!
In this round, Lu Zi happened to be the banker, and Bai Fu made the first bet.
When the dealer Princess Yanguang dealt three bright cards, Bai Fu bet a hundred taels of gold. When Zheng Lu saw Bai Fu taking the lead, he knew that Bai Fu must have a big card in his hand, so he immediately folded.
Gao Zhan remained expressionless and continued to follow the bet.
Lu Zi was about to fold when he suddenly understood Gao Zhan's eyes and decisively followed the bet.
Seeing that only one person folded, the croupier, Princess Yanguang, dealt out four bright cards. Bai Fu, with a bold attitude, decisively pushed the 500 taels of chips in his hand into the center of the gaming table.
Zheng Lu was so anxious that he secretly winked at Lu Zi and thought to himself: "Brother Lu, why don't you retreat quickly? Bai Fu is a stubborn boy. He must be a big star if he plays like this!"
Gao Zhan remained calm and continued to follow the bet of five hundred gold.
Lu Zi also muttered in confusion, thinking: "Bai Fu has played cards like this before. They were all big cards. Gao Zhan's strategy was to discard his cards. Why didn't he discard his cards in this round?"
After much deliberation, Lu Zi still chose to believe Gao Zhan and pushed the only five hundred taels of gold beside him into the gambling table.
The dealer, Princess Yanguang, saw that no one was discarding her cards, so she started the river card and dealt the fifth bright card.
"Do you want to raise the bet again?" the croupier Princess Yanguang asked the three of them.
Bai Fu shook his head, and the other two also shook their heads.
"Open the cards!" said the croupier, Princess Yanguang.
Lu Zi turned over his hole cards, and found a palace card, a person card, and a unitary copper hammer, which together with the bright card formed a double, double copper hammer, two pairs.
Gao Zhan's hole cards were even smaller, a palace card of plums and a miscellaneous red nine, which together with the bright cards formed two pairs of plums and miscellaneous nines.
Neither Lu Zi nor Gao Zhan were big names. At this moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on Bai Fu, wondering what kind of big name Bai Fu had in his hands.
Bai Fu looked solemn and refused to reveal his trump card. The croupier, Princess Yanguang, snorted and used the pusher to reveal Bai Fu's trump card.
It turned out to be a pair of benches!
Everyone was stunned on the spot, and then burst into laughter.
"How dare a pair of benches shout like this! I just learned some gambling skills like a three-legged cat, and now I dare to imitate someone else's 'stealing chicken'!"
"Forget it about 'stealing the chicken', the key is to 'steal the chicken' in front of the God of Gamblers! It's like using a big knife in front of Guan Gong! Hahaha"
The children of the aristocratic family were so unhappy that they laughed and laughed.
…
Bai Fu remained silent and kept turning a chip between his fingers. The chip was like a living thing, flipping back and forth between his fingers.
King Cheng Li Chu stood in an inconspicuous position, feeling very proud, and said to Princess Qingluan: "Imperial sister, you have seen it. Although this person has high martial arts skills, he is full of gambling, and he will be a bad gambler in the future. Don't worry about it in the future.
Associate with him."
Princess Qingluan glared at Li Chu and said: "There is no shame in losing to the God of Gamblers. Brother Emperor, tell me, is this Gao Zhan the one you brought to deal with Bai Fu?"
Li Chu was so embarrassed that he neither dared to admit nor deny it.
Princess Qingluan said angrily: "Brother, except for the gold and silk that Bai Fu earned for me, I gave all the rest to you. Why are you embarrassing him?"
After that, he left Li Chu angrily and returned to the casino.
Seeing Bai Fu's silent expression, Princess Qingluan felt sad in her heart.
She added a chair and sat next to Bai Fu, handed a painting to Bai Fu, and whispered: "Brother Fu, as long as you take out this painting, even if they win, they will only paint without the black iron sword."
Yes, let’s advance and retreat together!”
Bai Fu turned his head, stared into Qingluan's beautiful eyes, smiled slightly, and said, "Okay!"
At the same time, Gao Zhan also received a secret order from King Cheng Li Chu: "Kill without mercy!"
…
In the next few rounds, Lu Zi and Zheng Lu were very proud and placed bets frequently. However, Bai Fuxiang was like an eggplant, discarding his cards continuously. In this round, the pre-bet amount had been doubled to one hundred and twenty-eight taels.
Gold. Every time Bai Fu discards his cards, the loss is more than a hundred gold.
Gao Zhan did some mental calculations and found that there was only two sticks of incense left, two or three games at most. If Bai Fu continued to fold, he would no longer have enough chips. In addition, Bai Fu would have to take another turn with the banker, and his ante bet would have to be doubled.
It's definitely not enough to bet on. When the time comes, you will win without a fight.
Therefore, Bai Fu will definitely launch an attack, even if the cards in his hand are not big.
…
A chime sounded and the game started again.
In this round, Gao Zhan was the banker, and Lu Zi placed the bet first. At this moment, the front bet amount had been doubled to 256 taels of gold.
The croupier, Princess Yanguang, dealt the two hole cards face down to everyone in turn. Then she started to turn over the cards and dealt out three face up cards. The up cards were the sky card of the palace card, the land card and the ax of the unitary card.
.
Lu Zi secretly looked at the bottom of his cards, and found that they were a tie card from the palace card and an ax from the unitary card. They had formed a pair with the bright card - a double axe.
The cards are pretty good. If one of the next two upturned cards is a tie, it can form two pairs of cards, and the chance of winning is huge.
Lu Zi looked arrogant as he pushed the one hundred taels of gold chips into the card table and placed his bet.
Bai Fu looked at the hole cards without any expression. He also pushed the one hundred taels of gold chips into the poker table and followed the bet.
"That's the signal!"
Gao Zhan had a premonition that Bai Fu was going to attack in this round.
