Big Joe, Little Joe loves me

Chapter 186 Da Yuan Casino
After leaving Bu Zhai, Liu Gan took Mi Zhen into the carriage.

Liu Gan's original intention was to let Mi Zhen stay here and wait, but Mi Zhen was unwilling.

Going to the casino to snatch people is such an interesting thing, how can you just miss it?
Under Mi Zhen's softness and toughness, Liu Gan reluctantly took her with him.

Therefore, Wei Jing led the way on horseback, followed by Liu Gan's carriage, followed by twenty Wushuang guards.

The twenty unparalleled guards have become Liu Gan's standard protection lineup when going out. This is only the strength that can be seen on the surface. There are also people hiding around secretly, guarding Liu Gan's life safety anytime and anywhere.

A casino, at most, is just some local snakes and the like.

It stands to reason that there is no need for Liu Gan to go out in person at all, and it would be difficult for the other party to let him go if he just sent someone to show off his strength.

The reason why Liu Gan came in person was mainly because he wanted to see the big environment of ancient casinos.

"You wait outside."

After arriving at the Dayuan Casino, Liu Gan ordered the Wushuang guards to wait outside the door, while he led Mi Zhen into the casino.

At this moment, Liu Gan was dressed in brocade clothes, and he looked very noble, and he was accompanied by a beautiful woman. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that Liu Gan must be either rich or expensive.

Such a person is rich!

A young boy in green clothes had sharp eyes and quick feet. As soon as Liu Gan entered the door, the young boy in green clothes greeted him and said with a smile, "My lord, what do you want to play?"

Liu Gan casually glanced at the young man in Tsing Yi, and saw that this man was about fourteen or fifteen years old, with a childish look on his face. It was a pity that this man was working in a casino at such a young age.

Liu Gan asked casually, "What fun do you guys have here?"

The young man in Tsing Yi smiled and said: "Look at this gentleman's face, it's a bit strange, is it the first time you come here? You came to the right place, I'm not bragging, the whole Shucheng, inside and outside, only counts our casino It has the largest scale and the largest flow of people, and we have all the gambling methods and gameplays that are popular in the market!"

The boy in Tsing Yi continued to explain, and Liu Gan listened with great interest.

At this time throughout Yangzhou, the most popular game on the market is "cockfighting and running dogs, Liubo Cuju".

It is obviously easy to understand what "fighting cocks and running dogs" is, it is nothing more than fighting cocks and letting go of dogs.

"Liubo Cuju" is a bit more sophisticated.

"Cuju" is playing football, which is easy to understand, and there are many people who play football and participate in gambling in later generations.

The so-called "Liu Bo" is more complicated. It is a complete set of Liu Bo chess consisting of chess boards, chess pieces, and chopsticks (called dice in later generations). Each player has six chess pieces, so it is called "Liu Bo".

In addition, there is "Bochou", which is used to record the winning and losing situation of the bettors.

There are two main methods of playing chess in Liubo, "big game" and "small game". Six chess pieces are arranged on the curved path, one of which represents "Xiao", five are called "San", with "Xiao" as the largest, and six "Chopsticks".

When playing chess, the two sides first take turns throwing, and then move according to the number of "chopsticks" thrown.The larger the number, the more moves are taken.

When Liubo is playing chess, the two sides have to force each other, and the "Xiao" can eat the opponent's "San" as soon as he gets the stool. "Xiao", the outcome of the battle against Bo is determined by killing "Xiao".

There is a saying in "Han Feizi" that "the one who wins is the most expensive owl, and the winner must kill the owl", which is similar to that in chess, killing the general and seizing the commander is the victory.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the shape of Liubo was innovated, and the small Bo of "Erqiong" (the same function as chopsticks) appeared.

This kind of game is that one side holds six white pieces, and the other side holds six black pieces. In addition, each side has a round piece called "fish". For "water", "fish" is placed in "water".The number of moves is determined by the number of throwing belts. Whichever chess piece reaches the specified position first can be erected, which is called "arrogant chess".

Then this "Pride Chess" can enter the "water" and eat the opponent's "fish", which is called "leading fish".Every time you catch a fish, you can get two winning chips. If you can catch the fish three times first, you will get six winning chips, that is, you will win.

Under the explanation of the young man in Tsing Yi, Liu Gan carefully watched the Liubo chess played by others, and found that this kind of game is not too difficult.

At least, Liu Gan understood it after watching it for a while.

"It's quite interesting, do you want to play a game?"

Liu Gan cast his eyes on Mi Zhen's face and asked with a smile.

Mi Zhen shook her head again and again, and said, "Forget it, I'll just take a look."

Mi Zhen also wanted to play in her heart, but she is penniless now, what can she use to play with others?
Liu Gan observed Mi Zhen's thoughts carefully, and said with a smile: "Don't just watch, what's the point of that, let's do it, the win is yours, and the loss is mine."

Mi Zhen thought to herself, is there such a good thing?

Seeing that Liu Gan didn't seem to be joking, Mi Zhen immediately smiled and found an empty seat to sit down. Just now she was watching other people's enthusiasm for playing, and she was already eager to try it.

As soon as Mi Zhen took her seat, the gambler on the opposite side asked, "How big is the game?"

Mi Zhen said quickly, "How big is the minimum game?"

Hearing this, the gambler immediately looked contemptuous, and was about to say a few words of ridicule when he heard the man next to Mi Zhen speak.

"It's boring to play small ones. If you want to play, you can play big ones. What you want to play is heartbeat." Liu Gan said lightly.

"Oh, what a big tone, playing big, I, Yan, have never been afraid of anyone." The gambler surnamed Yan glanced at Liu Gan, and snorted coldly: "One tael of gold is a round, dare you come? "

A tael of gold!
As soon as this statement came out, many gamblers around looked sideways, and many people began to gather around here, and the table was packed with people in no time.

In fact, the gambler surnamed Yan had noticed Liu Gan and Mi Zhen a long time ago, and when he saw them coming, he looked around and asked this and that to the boy, so he knew that they were probably newbies.

Novices playing Liubo can only learn Liubo quickly if they spend more money on tuition.

The gambler surnamed Yan is very happy to be their teacher and teach them a good lesson.

"A tael of gold, that's fine, but I'm in a hurry to go out today, and I don't have any money with me."

Liu Gan said in one sentence, the gambler surnamed Yan almost couldn't help scolding, what do you bet if you don't have money?
Until Liu Gan took out a jade pendant and threw it in the hands of the gambler surnamed Yan, the jade pendant was smooth and round in the hand, and the color was crystal clear, icy and jade-like.

This is a top-quality gem!
"Estimate the price of this piece of jade, and let it be as much as you say it is worth." Liu Gan said lightly.

"This..." The gambler surnamed Yan hesitated. He is also a person who understands jade. As soon as he got this jade, he knew that this piece of jade was priceless.

What is priceless?
Can an object comparable to the value of a city be measured by money?
If he really wanted to bid, the gambler surnamed Yan was sure that he would not be able to afford it even if he went bankrupt. He rolled his eyes, and without speaking, he directly extended five fingers to Liu Gan.
