Volume 2: Yongzhou Mansion Chapter 40: A Little Trial

Lu Cheng has a habit before doing big things.

This habit cannot be said to be very good, but it is definitely not a bad habit. Before doing anything big, he would go to the casino to try his luck.

Although this was to a certain extent just to satisfy his gambling addiction, it always prepared him for the next action.

After all, a prodigal son who threw away 50 million taels of silver in three days really needed some luck.

He didn't even bother to go to the most exclusive casino in Yongzhou Prefecture. Lu Cheng knew it well and gambled a little beforehand just for fun.

If you bet big money, you can't win without trading.

Lu Cheng was walking on Yongzhoufu Street and randomly walked into a small casino.

It was a small casino with maybe a few dozen people playing in the lobby. The atmosphere here was the kind of atmosphere Lu Cheng liked.

The people who play in this casino are all small business owners. Those who play mahjong drink cheap tea, and those who shake sieve cups have clear wine in their bowls.

In front of a stage with many onlookers, Lao Lu stopped.

This gameplay is rare, but it looks quite interesting.

It seems that this is a unique way of playing cards in Yongzhou Prefecture.

There are fifty cards, one gold card, four purple cards, fifteen blue cards, and the rest are white cards.

The fifty cards are spread out on the table, and the betting parties draw three cards.

White is the smallest, blue is second, and purple is the highest.

As long as you draw the gold medal, you will win.

The gambler who has a winning streak on the table right now is a girl named Azhen. She is young and extremely lucky.

Ten sets were played this morning, and this girl reportedly won gold medals in three sets!

This morning alone, this girl has already won nearly one thousand taels of silver.

In a small casino of this level, a thousand taels of silver is already a very high gambling stake. This girl can win a thousand taels in one morning, which shows that she is really lucky.

"Come on, let's give it a try, Master Lu, and see who has better luck!"

Lu Cheng rolled up his sleeves, sat directly on one side of the table, and looked at Azhen across the table.

Azhen glanced at Lu Cheng and rubbed her temples.

"Uncle, have you never played before?"

"It's your first time to play, are there any rules?"

"You have to shuffle the cards first! Also, where are your chips? I can't just stay here and have fun with you!"

Lu Cheng smiled. This girl is not old and her tone is not small. Do you really think that we, Master Lu Cheng, are here to see the fun?

After saying that, Lu Cheng passed his hand across the table, took all the cards directly into his hand, and stacked them into a pile, shuffling the cards very skillfully.

These fifty cards seemed to have some kind of magic power in the hands of Master Lu Cheng, and not a single card was scattered on the table.

Bang! Lu Cheng slapped the shuffled cards on the table, and the onlookers shouted "Hello".

"What's so good? Didn't you know that the gambling parties can't touch the cards except turning over the cards?"

"There are still these rules! Then who shuffles the cards?"

Azhen raised her chin and looked in the direction of her eyes. She saw a big man with a black face.

Although the big man's skin is not white, he gives off a simple and honest feeling. At first glance, he is a guy from this casino.

"Hey, brother, come here and give you a card."

With that said, Lu Cheng handed over the game of cards to this guy.

"Guo Xu, deal the cards to us better, don't affect my card drawing!"

"Su hi, Su hi! Su Ka is not listed all the way to Aka!"

When the guy was shuffling the cards, he said a string of words that Lu Cheng couldn't understand. Lu Cheng looked confused, which made Azhen laugh.

"What a big fuss, Guo Xu is the most slippery shuffler in this place, he needs to recite a few spells to make him stand out!"

After the performance of shuffling cards, Guo Xu laid out fifty cards, and the gambling game was about to begin.

"I'll give you a hundred taels first. Does this uncle dare to take the bigger one?"

"It's only one hundred taels, I'll follow you!"

Lu Cheng was quite generous, but he was indeed generous enough. After all, he donated 20 million taels of silver to the women's liberation movement.

One hundred taels, he didn't care much.

The two people put the banknotes on the table, and then started to turn over the cards!

The dealer comes first, so naturally Azhen turns over first.

Turn it over lightly, Chapter

One card reveals the true face.

"Purple card!"

"Zhen is so lucky!"

"I turned purple when I came up. It's so exciting."

Guo Xu almost admired Azhen's luck in the flop, but Lu Cheng shook his head.

"You're making such a fuss when turning over purple. Look at you, Master Lu, turning over gold with just one hand!"

As a result, Lu Cheng turned it over, and sure enough, he turned it over - a white ordinary card!

"This is fucking unreasonable!"

"In the first round, Azhen won. This old man, if you hesitate, you will lose. If you are decisive, you will be in vain. You have to think clearly."

The first flop of the second round was still played by Azhen.

This time, Azhen turned over the blue card.

"Hey, girl! Your luck is about to run out! Look at my gold medal, Lao Lu!"

With that said, Master Lu Cheng flipped the cards again decisively, but the result was still nothing!

But it was slightly better than the white ordinary card, and a blue card was revealed.

Second round, draw.

"Uncle, you can only draw in this third round. I think you can't beat me."

Seeing Lu Cheng's luck, Azhen smiled.

Although this uncle seems very happy to pay for money, he is too hot-tempered and not calm enough. It is difficult for such a person to win at the gambling table.

In the third round, Azhen took the lead. This time Azhen was lucky again and turned out the purple card!

There were fifty cards, a total of four purple cards, and A-Zhen turned out two purple cards by herself!

I have to say that this girl's good luck is outrageous and completely unreasonable.

"This girl didn't use her true energy or magic. Could it be that she is really lucky?"

Lao Lu was a little hesitant, but after thinking about it, there was no need to hesitate. It was just a hundred taels, just for fun.

So, Lao Lu grabbed it casually and seriously struck a handsome pose.

"It can't be gold!"

"Probably not. If this were gold, my name would be written backwards!"

"How can this guy catch gold when his hands are so smelly?"

Lu Zhenren raised the corners of his mouth and gradually showed the cards in his hand.

Something unexpected happened to everyone. The cards in Master Lu Cheng's hand turned out to be ordinary white cards!

"Hi! I was a little nervous."

"That's right, how can anyone be more powerful than Azhen in this scene?"

"Okay, okay, uncle, these one hundred taels are mine."

Azhen smiled and accepted Lu Cheng's banknote. Lu Cheng thought about it and said.

"Let's compete again. How about I pay a thousand taels this time?"

Lu Cheng directly offered to bid one thousand taels, which really made the surrounding audience take a breath of air.

"Uncle, there's nothing wrong with you. I only have one thousand one hundred taels. We're just here to have fun. There's no need to be so serious."

"No, no, no, if you win, I will give you these one thousand taels. If I win, these one thousand taels will still be yours. I just need you to do me a favor."

When Azhen heard Lu Cheng's words, she was immediately confused.

"Help me engrave a number on this thing."

Lu Cheng took out a peach charm from his pocket. This peach charm had a meaning.

When he was in the Western Regions, Lu Cheng met a man who called himself the God of Gamblers in a casino.

He said that every time before he gambled, he would ask his very lucky wife to write a number on her white gloves for him.

When he made a last-ditch gamble, this number was his belief number!

Once, the wife of the God of Gamblers was seriously ill and did not write numbers on his gloves.

In the gambling game that day, the God of Gamblers suffered his first defeat in more than ten years.

He had one of his fingers cut off.

Lu Cheng has been traveling around the world for so many years, and he firmly believes that some things have what he calls fate.

I walked to this casino today and gambled with this lucky girl. Maybe it was fate!

"Okay, I'll take this round!"

After saying that, Lu Cheng directly took out a one thousand tael silver note, and A Zhen also sat across from the gambling table.

After Guo Xu shuffled the cards, Lu Cheng took over as the banker this time.

Fifty cards were placed neatly on the table. Lu Cheng closed his eyes, and there was no

Use any ounce of vitality.

I just touched a card based on my feeling.

It's him.

Lu Cheng turned over the card.

The bright golden card declares this victory.

"Can you get the gold medal when you come up?"

"Did this suddenly break out!"

"Be good! This is so exciting!"

Guo Xu looked at Azhen with a somewhat surprised expression. At this time, she no longer needed to turn over cards.

"I'm willing to admit defeat. I'll bring you the peach charm."

Lu Cheng handed the peach charm to Azhen. Without hesitation, Azhen carved a "nine" with the knife that Lu Cheng handed over.

"You're an uncle, you smell like drunk, so I'll give you this number."

"No more fun, no more fun, my mother told me to go home for dinner."

Azhen did not accept Lu Cheng's thousand taels of silver notes and ran out of the casino in a hurry.

Lao Lu put the Taofu into his pocket and was about to leave the casino.

"Hey, this gentleman, your one thousand taels!"

"Oh, I gave it to you. You did a good job shuffling the cards."

Guo Xu suddenly felt very surprised, and his voice trembled a little.

"This... is too exciting!"

Unlike Lao Lu who was having fun in the casino, today Lin Ruo took Yang Ming and Hu Yue straight to Songhe Tower.

Although a bad-mannered Mr. Donkey has been following them these past few days, Lin Ruoke is extremely good at hacking through the walls of her own home.

Therefore, when Mr. Lu was unprepared, Lin Ruo took Yang Ming and Hu Yue and escaped directly over the wall.

Originally, the three of them wanted to call Mo Lin, but this technical geek actually didn't go out for two days in a row to tinker with his crappy mechanisms.

Just don't call him, just pack it up for him and be done with it.

Songhe Tower is located to the east of Yongzhou Prefecture, not far from the most prosperous North Street. As one of the eight chefs in the Yun Duan Empire, Zuo Gongquan, the Beigan Chao King, is naturally very famous.

He opened the Songhe Tower directly next to the Prefect's Mansion.

Most of the reason why Lin Ruo could often come to Songhe Tower to eat when he was a child was because his grandfather and second grandfather both had VIP rooms here.

The decoration of Songhe Tower is extremely luxurious, with a four-story layout, the lobby and private rooms are all very gorgeously decorated, and there are also theatrical performances by famous actors in the lobby, it is not a luxury!

"Deluxe room on the third floor! Three distinguished guests!"

Lin Ruo directly took out the VIP voucher of the Lin family - a rosewood sign with the signature of the Speculator King. When the waiter saw the sign, he directly welcomed the three people to the third floor!

The third floor is the VIP deluxe room specially designed to entertain dignitaries. This place is not accessible to ordinary people!

First of all, your family must be rich, and secondly, your family must be well-connected.

If the little bosses who manage various departments in the prefect's mansion have a family background of more than 1,000 yuan, they can come here to experience a sense of luxury.

If you are just rich and don't have any connections, and you don't have any official position in the prefect's mansion, then that's a shame. You can just sit on the second floor and try it out.

"The third floor is the deluxe room, what about the fourth floor?"

"Next time you ask Lao Lu to take you here, you can go up to the fourth floor."

Lin Ruo's explanation is very simple. On the fourth floor, it is naturally not only a symbol of status, but also a symbol of strength!

Anyone who can eat on the fourth floor has only one requirement, regardless of the department you work in or how much money you have at home.

That is, the realm of transformation into gods.

There are many people from the realm of transformation who have eaten at Songhe Tower. Lin Ruo's grandfather Lin Luan is a frequent visitor, and one of the three great generals of Zhongzhou Mu was lucky enough to visit once.

It is said that one of the hermit elders at the castle tower had a very good personal relationship with Zuo Gongquan, and he secretly came to the fourth floor to eat several times.

As for the tallest person on the fourth floor, it was the Zongjia who paid a private visit incognito thirty years ago!

Thirty years ago, when Zongjia came to Yongzhou Prefecture for a private visit incognito, the speculation king Zuo Gongquan was only in his thirties, and he was a young man with excellent cooking skills.

He was already one of the eight chef kings at that time, and the Zong family gave him the title of King of Cooking.

Originally there was only Zuo Gongquan of Yongzhou Prefecture, one of the eight chef kings.

Now, it is called the speculation king Zuo Gongquan.

It is enough to show how essential Master Zuo Gongquan’s speculation skills are.
