When we arrived at the cabin door, Qi Lan whispered behind me:
"Xiao Liuye, come on!"
I nodded slightly and entered the cabin.
Because it was the first time for some people to board a gambling boat, Su Mei took these people to visit upstairs and downstairs.
And I followed suit.
Zou Xiaoxian's ship is indeed well prepared.
Life-saving equipment, inflatable kayaks, etc. are all available.
After watching for a while, everyone returned to the hall.
Everyone knows that this gamble will begin here.
After everyone sat down, Zou Xiaoxian stood in the middle of the hall.
Looking at everyone, she said:
"Everyone, I won't beat around the bush. On the surface, today's bet was made by me, Zou Tiansheng, for Mr. Chu Liu. But in fact, everyone knows it. After Zou Tiansheng took over the Zou family, he took my previous place.
He took them all back. His purpose is very simple. He must hold the Zou family’s situation in his hands. So, he came after me in this round..."
Everyone also knows that Zou Xiaoxian is telling the truth.
Zou Tiansheng on the side did not deny it. He sat on the chair next to him and closed his eyes to rest.
"Since there is no way to avoid this game, I have no choice but to face it. I am telling you this just to ask you to bear witness to me. If we are lucky enough to win this game, Zou Tiansheng will not be able to harass us again in the future.
Boat gambling. Zou Tiansheng, my request is not too much, right?"
Only then did Zou Tiansheng open his eyes.
He regained his smiling expression and nodded slightly.
"Okay, let's talk about the bets and set the rules!"
As soon as Zou Xiaoxian finished speaking, Zhuo Yi pointed at Zou Tiansheng behind him and slowly walked out.
The last time I was in Tianjin, I saw Zhuo Yizhi once when Zou Tiansheng opened his shop.
He is in his fifties, of medium build, and of average appearance.
But he has a unique, calm and calm temperament.
If you have this kind of quality, you can know it without looking at his technique.
This kind of person must be a master among thousands of sects.
"Mr. Chu, we said goodbye in Jinmen and met again in Habei!"
Zhuo Yizhi was very polite and showed no trace of pride.
But I know very well that the more such an opponent is, the more cautious one must be.
And I nodded politely and said hello.
"What to play?"
Zhuo pointed his finger and asked.
"Mr. Zhuo is a senior, I will listen to you..."
My words sounded polite.
But hidden in this politeness is a sense of confidence.
This actually surprised Zhuo Yizhi.
Looking at me, he smiled and said:
"Then let's decide the outcome in one round. Let's roll the dice. Six dice. The one with the smaller number wins!"
dice?
This is somewhat beyond my expectation.
According to the information I got, Zhuo Yizhi is good at soft cards.
Unexpectedly, he actually said he wanted to bet on dice.
"If it's a draw, we'll switch to poker in the second game. We'll talk about the specific gameplay after the draw. Mr. Chu, is that okay?"
Zhuo Yi pointed his finger and added.
"Okay, can I give you a thousand dollars?"
I asked.
Zhuo Yi pointed out a smile and said slowly:
"Thousands of gates and thousands of games are played with thousands of tricks. You and I each rely on our own abilities. If we don't show our dirty tricks, we will win. If we call it open, we will lose..."
I nodded and asked again:
"Okay, let's open the bets. What's the bet?"
Zhuo pointed his finger and looked back at Zou Tiansheng, saying:
"I'm just a craftsman. As for betting, you have to discuss it with the big boss..."
Zou Tiansheng stood up with a smile.
He slowly walked up to me, looked up and down, and said:
"Normally speaking, we can make a big deal of 30 to 20 million. But you are just a little pimp on the sixth day of the month, let alone spend so much money. I guess you have never seen so much money. On the sixth day of the month,
Am I right?"
What Zou Tiansheng said is really right.
I have never seen so much money.
"How about this, if you lose, I'll take one of your palms. What do you think?"
Zou Tiansheng stared at my hand with a smile.
"Am I going to win?"
I asked rhetorically.
"That's easier. If you win, Mr. Zhuo will give you a hand!"
I suddenly realized that Zou Tiansheng was indeed despicable.
He started this game.
But now, he bets with me with his one-fingered hand.
Of course I don't agree with this.
"No, Mr. Zhuo is just betting on your behalf. I don't want anything from him. If I win, your hand will stay. If you don't dare to gamble, don't talk nonsense with me anymore. You can get off the boat now!"
Zou Tiansheng was slightly stunned, and he couldn't help but look at Zhuo Yizhi.
Zou Tiansheng is still very cautious.
There was even the slightest possibility of losing, and he didn't want to bet his own hand.
Zhuo Yizhi smiled calmly and said confidently:
"Big boss, you can rest assured that I will not lose!"
"Mr. Zhuo is so confident?"
I asked.
"Confidence comes from strength. I can tell you clearly that I have never lost in my thirty years of debut!"
Zhuo Yi pointed out the words and fell silent.
Everyone onlookers couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.
Especially the people on my side looked at me worriedly.
I don’t know whether what Zhuo Yizhi said is true or false.
But I know one thing, he is engaging in psychological warfare.
He used this psychological advantage to create pressure on me.
Especially when gambling on dice, psychological factors are extremely important.
The techniques may be similar, but if your mental quality is a little worse, you won't be able to get the points you want.
I sneered, turned to look at Zou Tiansheng, and said:
"Since Mr. Zhuo is so confident, let's increase the bet. The loser will not only lose one of his hands, but also swim ashore from the middle of the river. Zou Tiansheng, do you dare to take it?"
Although the river had opened at this time, the ice in the river was beginning to melt and the water was biting.
I had to swim ashore even though I had a broken arm.
The final result can only be to be buried in the river and feed the fish in the water.
Zou Tiansheng obviously didn't expect that I would raise the bet.
He looked at Zhuo Yizhi again.
Zhuo pointed his finger at him and nodded.
Zou Tiansheng gritted his teeth and said fiercely:
"Okay, I'll take it!"
"Then let's get started!"
While talking, the dealer and staff on the ship quickly set up a gaming table.
Two black dice cups and twelve dice have been placed on the table.
Because it had been agreed before that this gambling game would be hosted by Li Zizi and Wang Chonggui.
Leaning on crutches, Li Laizi walked to the gaming table.
He raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation.
"Boy, let's check the dice and the dice cup!"
We both picked up the dice and the dice cup and examined them in our hands.
Then Li Laizi asked again:
"Are you two rolling the dice at the same time, or in sequence?"
"at the same time!"
Zhuo Yi pointed his finger and replied.
"Okay, there's no problem with the gambling equipment, let's start now!"
As soon as Li Zizi finished speaking.
Zhuo picked up the dice cup with one finger and was about to collect the dice.
I suddenly raised my hand and said:
"Wait a moment!"
Several people were stunned, and everyone couldn't help but look at me.
"What's wrong?"
Li Zizi asked me with some dissatisfaction.
I looked back at Zou Xiaoxian and said:
"Ask the waiter to bring me a towel to dry off. My hands are a little slippery today..."
As soon as I finished speaking.
Behind him, Zou Tiansheng laughed and laughed.
"Hey, aren't you the Thousand Kings of Habei on the sixth day of the lunar month? Why are your palms so nervous that they are sweating?"
I didn't take Zou Tiansheng's cynicism seriously.
He took the towel and started to wipe his hands bit by bit.
My hands are indeed sweaty.
Although I have never seen Zhuo Yizhi's technique.
But just by his calm demeanor, I can feel it.
He should be the most difficult opponent I have encountered in a long time.
