I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

Sitting in the middle basin next to the pot vibrator, after checking the dice, he shouted loudly:

"shake!"

Hearing a "snap", the pot shakes neatly, throws three dice made of antlers into the barnacle wrapped with a layer of stickers, and then shakes them from side to side with skillful movements.

The gamblers, like carnivorous animals that are extremely hungry and have seen their prey, stared at the shaking barnacles in Hu Shaker's hands with their bloodshot eyes.

Their fiery gaze was about to burn a hole in the barnacles in Hu Zhen's hands.

Very few gamblers put their hands over their ears to hear the dice in the barnacle.

Only Ogata and Mamiya looked casual, as if they didn't care what the dice inside the barnacle was now.

Finally, with a "boom", the pot vibrated and the barnacle containing the dice fell to the ground.

Let go of the hand holding the barnacle, Hu Zhen spread his hands, made a "please" movement and said loudly:

"Please!"

The gamblers pulled out their money one after another, throwing paper on "odd" or "even".

After sitting down on the futon, Mamiya crossed his hands and tucked into Haori's sleeves.

After starting to bet money, Mamiya turned his head towards Ogata's direction, and whispered in a volume that only he and Ogata could hear clearly:

"Ogata-kun, do you think it's single or double."

"How do I know whether it's odd or even?" Ogata said angrily, "If I had the ability to know the number of dice, I would have made a fortune from gambling."

"The dice in the jug are now double."

"How do you know?" Ogata cast a puzzled look at Jiangong.

"intuition."

After saying that, Mamiya stretched out the right hand that had been stuck into Haori's left sleeve since just now.

When his right hand stretched out from Haori's left sleeve, he held two things and two pieces of gold in his right palm.

Without hesitation, Mamiya threw the two pieces of gold in front of him on the paper with "Double" written on it.

Immediately after the two big judgments landed, there was a gasping sound of "hissing" in the gambling hall.

The rest of the gamblers could only take out some copper coins, and very few people took out silver.

The two big judgments of Jiangong are particularly eye-catching in this gambling hall.

"Open!" Zhongbain shouted angrily.

After Zhongpen's voice fell, Hu Zhen lifted the barnacle to reveal the appearance of 3 dice under the barnacle.

4, 4, 614 points, double.

The gamblers who bet their money on the "single" just now wailed.

Gamblers who bet their money on "double" cheered.

"It seems that my luck today is not bad."

Mamiya said softly to Ogata while gathering back the money he won just now.

……

……

Mamiya and Ogata participated in 4 games in one go.

Ogata couldn't figure out whether Mamiya was purely lucky, or had the ability to hear the number of dice inside the barnacle.

They won all the 4 games they participated in.

In an instant, the two of them won a lot of money.

Gambling is the whole process in which Gamiya is involved.

And Ogata basically watched Mamiya gamble with his arms folded the whole time.

While watching Mamiya gamble, Ogata was also silently observing the guarding of the gambling house.

According to Ogata's observation, there are 4 guards in this gambling house.

The 4 guards stood at the 4 corners of the casino.

These 4 guards were still in a daze with boredom.

Or watch the gamblers gamble there with interest.

It is worth mentioning that the four guards all wear swords and wakizashi around their waists.

It must be a ronin hired by the Negishi family.

Now this world is full of vagrants who have no fixed place to live and have no food to eat.

As long as you can pay a considerable commission, there are quite a few ronin who are willing to be your thugs.

It's a pity that no matter how Ogata looked at it, he couldn't find someone who looked like a big shot in this gambling hall.

The staff of this casino seems to be only Hu Zhen, Zhong Pen, and these 4 guards.

Soon, a new round of gambling began again.

After Zhongpen inspected the dice, Hu Zhen took the dice from Zhongpen's hand.

But this time, a weird smile flashed across Hu Zhen's face.

Chapter 132

Huzhen uses the index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger of the right hand to hold the three dice, and the left hand to hold the barnacle.

After showing the 4 dice held by the four fingers of his right hand to all the gamblers, Hu Zhen threw the 3 dice held by the fingers of his right hand into the barnacle as usual.

After shaking the barnacle containing the dice violently for a while, he buckled it to the ground.

However—just when the barnacle was about to be pinned to the ground, Kettle shook his little finger that was pressed on the bottom edge of the barnacle to hook it in. The movement was extremely slight and agile, and no one noticed his little movement. .

"Please."

The gamblers threw their money on paper that said "odd" or "double".

"Jamiya." Seeing that Jiangong hadn't put the money away, Ogata turned his head and asked, "This time bet on 'single' or 'double'."

"I won't gamble this time." However, Mamiya gave an answer that made Ogata feel a little puzzled, "This time the gamble is not interesting."

After saying the words without beginning and end, which made Ogata hear in a cloud, Mamiya only had an intriguing smile on his face, and his hands were still crossed into Haori's sleeves, and he didn't care at all. It means to deposit money.

Hu Zhen lifted the barnacles off the ground.

"One, three, five! Single!" Hu Zhen shouted.

There was a strange sound of wailing and cheering again in the casino.

Looking at the three dice lying quietly on the ground, the intriguing look on the smile on Jian Gong's face became more intense.

"Bastard!"

At this moment, a gambler shouted.

"Why do I always lose today! There must be something wrong with your dice!"

Hu Zhen seemed to be used to this kind of scene, he only silently made a "please" motion to the three dice on the ground, and then said softly:

"If you don't trust me, you can check these dice yourself."

Seeing what Hu Zhen said, the gambler immediately walked over respectfully, picked up the three dice and examined them carefully.

The gamblers sitting next to this gambler also stood up and checked the dice with him.

However—no matter how many times they checked, there was nothing wrong with the dice.

So, they could only return the dice to Hu Zhen unwillingly.

Hu Zhen handed the dice to Zhongpen for a routine inspection.

After the inspection of the middle basin, a new round of gambling began.

Karakala...

The sound of the dice being shaken in the barnacles was mixed with the sound of the gamblers' concentrating and holding their breath.

After the dice were shaken, Hu Zhen knocked the barnacle to the ground.

When the barnacle was about to hit the ground, Hu Zhen, like before, reached into the barnacle with the little finger of his right hand pinched at the bottom of the barnacle, and hooked it slightly with a small and quick movement.

at this time.

Just when Hu Zhen's right little finger hadn't had time to withdraw from the pot——

Click.

The light of the knife and the sound of closing the knife appeared almost at the same time.

"Ah ah ah ah ah--!"

The moment the light of the knife and the sound of closing the knife disappeared, the scream of the pot vibrating sounded.

The tail finger of Hu Zhen's right hand was dripping with blood, and the barnacles and dice in his right hand... no, to be precise, the barnacles that had been cut in half, and the dice fell to the ground.

The barnacles are split vertically in two.

After the barnacle that had been cut in half and the dice inside the barnacle fell to the ground, all the gamblers present stared wide-eyed in astonishment.

The reason why their eyes are round is not because the barnacles were cut in half by unknown people.

It's because - there are a total of 6 dice that fell to the ground.

"Your tricks are quite sophisticated."

Holding the scabbard with his left hand and pressing the handle of the knife with his right hand, Mamiya, who was still maintaining the posture of retracting the knife, said softly to Hu Zhen, who was still screaming with his right hand in front of him.

"Before buckling the barnacle to the ground, quietly replace the dice in the barnacle with the dice that had already been prepared, so as to manipulate the game."

"You are one of the most powerful tricksters I have ever seen. You can replace the dice in the barnacle with only one right little finger."

At this time, Ogata was looking at Mamiya next to him with astonished eyes.

--So fast!

Ogata exclaimed in his heart.

The other gamblers may not have seen clearly what happened just now, but Ogata, who was sitting next to Gamiya and also a samurai, knew exactly what happened just now.

Just as he folded his hands in boredom and waited for Hu Zhen to knock the barnacle to the ground, he noticed that the palace beside him moved from the corner of his eye.

Originally, Gamiya put his hands crossed into the haori sleeves, and stretched out his hands from between the two sleeves.

Holding the scabbard with the left hand, holding the knife with the right hand.

Pulling the knife out of its sheath, the unsheathed blade swept across the barnacle in Hu Zhen's hand vertically from bottom to bottom, and then Jiangong put the knife back into the sheath.

This series of actions by Mamiya was so fast that Ogata felt unbelievable.

The light of the knife and the sound of drawing the knife back into its sheath appeared almost at the same time.

And what made Ogata feel unbelievable the most - when Gamiya drew his sword, there was no sound.

After Jian Gong exposed Hu Zhen's cheating behavior, the emotions of the gamblers gradually changed from stunned to furious.

"Stinky boy! How dare you play tricks on me!"

A gambler closest to Hu Zhen stood up, spread his legs, grabbed Hu Zhen's shoulder with his left hand, and raised his right hand into a fist.

The rest of the gamblers also surrounded Hu Zhen from all directions.

The gamblers looked like a pack of wild wolves about to share their prey.

However—their fists hadn't hit Hu Zhen's body, a few sounds of drawing knives and shouting angrily overwhelmed the roars of the gamblers:

"I see who dares to be presumptuous here!"

"Let go of the kettle vibration!"

"Get out of here! Otherwise, I'll kill someone!"

……

The owners of these angry shouts were naturally the four guards in the casino.

The four guards were now drawing their knives, glaring at the gamblers who were surrounding Huzhen.
