Silver Moon Halberd

The figure turned around when he heard the words, also showing shock, and rushed up to meet him.

When he approached, Ye Zhenge saw him from head to toe, smiled gratifiedly, turned to Xi Xiu and said, "This is Shen Chuxing, the righteous brother I mentioned to you. Chuxing, his name is Xi Xiu, and I have a special relationship with him." Grace of salvation."

It's cold and dark here, it's really not a good place to talk about the old and the new, Shen Chuxing and Xi Xiu didn't have much to say, they bowed their hands to each other as a greeting.

Ye Zhenge looked towards the front door, frowned slightly, then stretched his eyebrows again after watching for a while, and said in a relaxed tone: "Let's find a place to rest first."

Going back along the same road and stepping into an inn, Ye Zhenge asked for a pot of tea and ordered a few light dishes.

While the candles were brightly lit, Xi Xiu carefully looked at the person at the same table—a round face as big as a palm, who looked like a teenager, but had a youthful figure, making it unpredictable.

Looking around the table, Shen Chuxing resentfully put down his chopsticks, raised his eyes and happened to meet Xi Xiu, and couldn't help grinning, revealing two dimples: "You only look at me, is the food not to your taste?"

His appearance already made Xi Xiu unhappy, but when he looked at his foolish appearance, all the emotions in his heart came to the surface.Xi Xiu twitched the corners of her mouth, smiling half-smile, which made her pale skin even more chilly.

Ye Zhenge seemed to be ignorant, first filled up the Xixiu teacup, then pushed the dishes a little far away to Shen Chuxing, and then opened his lips and said: "I knew I would come later, I would make you hungry twice."

"Master, you worry too much. I can't finish it every day behind closed doors." Shen Chuxing picked up the chopsticks in a lack of interest, and tasted the cold shredded bamboo shoots.

Ye Zhenge asked: "He doesn't even sell your face?"

"When will he recognize people when he only recognizes money? I have the guts to hang myself in front of Wuyoufang, but his rules can be broken at will..." As he spoke, Shen Chu rolled his eyes, and Shen Chuxing said happily, "A dead horse is a living horse doctor. Tonight I will try it with a rope!"

"Forget it, thank you, Mr. Ye, the beauty who collected the corpse." After taking some broken silver and putting it on the table, Ye Zhenge got up and left his seat, motioning for Xi Xiu to go with him.

Before stepping out of the inn, Xi Xiu said, "You said he was your brother-in-law, but why did he call you young master?"

Ye Zhenge explained with a smile: "Shen Chuxing was adopted by his father, so he naturally became my brother-in-law. As for the habit of addressing, which is hard to change for a while, there is no difference in respect between me and him."

Nodding with half understanding, Xi Xiu said, "Where are we going now?"

"Go to a lively place to gain knowledge." There were few people in the market, so Ye Zhenge generously took his hand.

He knocked on the door with his fingers, and after repeating "Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom" three times, one person poked his head out.Ye Zhenge did as the Romans did, and handed the money bag to the other party. The man weighed it and stepped sideways out of the way, saying respectfully, "Please."

As the name suggests, Wuyoufang is the largest underground gambling house in Jinyuan. It has entered and exited all kinds of religions and streams. There are not only rich and powerful people wearing gold belts, but also no shortage of peddlers and pawns. The threshold is only the same: three taels of capital.And this is enough for ordinary people to eat for half a year.

Guided by a man, through the arch, a large house soon appeared in front of him, lit by fire as bright as day.Looking in from the open doors and windows, there are crowds of people in one place.The sound of resentment, lamentation, surprise, and the rolling of dice mixed with "crash" can be heard endlessly, which is even more noisy than the downtown area.

Although Xi Xiu is gradually getting used to the noise around him, he has a keen sense of hearing, and any feeling will be fed back at a normal number of times.

Ye Zhenge raised his fan and tapped his chest lightly at the right time, he realized what he meant and tried to calm down.

The two wandered aimlessly, watched the dice roll for a while, then walked around more than a dozen gaming tables, and finally stopped in a corner.

"This is 'Pai Gow'," the folding fan covered his mouth and nose, and approached Xi Xiu, Ye Zhenge whispered into his ear, "32 cards, numbered two to twelve, eleven of them are the same pair, called For the pair of cards, the remaining ten cards have different patterns, which are called martial arts cards."

Two finger-wide long black stripes, printed with different numbers of red or white dots, so dozens of dots are crowded under a pair of wandering palms, making people dazzled.But Xi Xiu has excellent eyesight, and with a little reminder, she can tell the difference.

Looking at the poker table, Ye Zhenge succinctly explained the size of a single card and how to combine it to determine the winner or loser. However, the gameplay is complex and changeable, and it is difficult for beginners to master it overnight.

"Unlucky!" One person put down his cards, flung his sleeves and left with a grunt.

Taking his place, Ye Zhenge sat down at the table with a smile on his face.

Four people place bets in turn, and the dealer rolls dice.Shuffle cards, stack tricks, draw cards, four cards in one hand, and start a new game.

The same number of points and different patterns have different sizes. The white six points of the long card are greater than the red six points of the martial arts card.If the dealer places an order, the natural card has the highest twelve points, and the martial card has the smallest three points.If the dealer is right, there are Shuangtian, Shuangland, and no pair cards, and the two cards are added together to get the unit, but it is nine points that are the largest and zero points that are the smallest.

Card luck is of course the key, but collocation and timing of moves can often reverse the outcome, and each hand needs to be greater than the dealer to be considered a winner.

Cards are like people, there are those who show their sharpness and make decisive decisions, and those who hide their strength and hide their swords while smiling.However, Ye Zhenge is neither.

The old man was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, and pointed at him with trembling fingertips: "Do you understand the rules?! No one dismantled the double sky, mixed it into two pairs of sky bars!"

Ye Zhenge respectfully said: "I am deeply ashamed for my poor card skills, but I don't know what is wrong with the rules of Wuyoufang?"

The veteran was dumbfounded when asked.Those who come here want to get rich for entertainment, who doesn't want to have a gambling addiction?No lose no win what excitement!But to take a step back, Ye Zhenge admitted that his skills are not as good as others, and there is indeed no rule in Wuyoufang that no beginners are allowed to bet... The more he thinks about it, the more he feels strange. He has played Pai Gow for half his life, and he has never met anyone who played 22 in one breath. A draw!

I'm really angry just looking at it!

The old man left with a sullen face, the other man lost interest, waved his hand and retreated, leaving only Ye Zhenge and the person opposite at the table.

The man had been silent since the beginning of the game. At this moment, he smiled silently, scratched his ears, and gave his eyes to the guy who was guarding the door.The clerk instructed to come to Ye Zhenge's side, bowed his waist, and said respectfully: "Guests please."

There is a peaceful world behind the house, the winding corridors, the red candles flickering, the evening wind blows the fragrance of flowers all over the garden, and blows the petals of begonias to the corridors.

One piece danced in front of Xi Xiu's eyes, it was truly beautiful, Xi Xiu took it into his palm, and gently blew it aside, the pink and white petals brushed over Ye Zhenge's face.Ye Zhenge turned his head and looked, there was a man of ice and snow in the snow-like flower dance, but contrary to the cold appearance was the attachment that couldn't be hidden in his eyes...

When they were wandering, they had already reached the end of the corridor, and the clerk walked away without saying a word. At the same time, a strong fragrance hit the two of them directly!

Waking up suddenly, Ye Zhenge protected Xi Xiu, and waved a fan to disperse the fragrance.

"Young Master Ye taught me how to be a soldier." With the soft and melodious voice, the door of the bamboo building slowly opened.

"Ha, in order to see him, Ye has to go through five stages and kill six generals!" With his hands behind his back, Ye Zhenge strode forward.

The light gauze inside the building is graceful, surrounded by faint smoke, just like a fairyland, behind a bead curtain is a faintly exquisite figure.He was reclining on the couch, and raised his wrist slightly, signaling for the visitor to take a seat: "Long time no see, why is Young Master Ye so downcast? My family still remembers that you can't wear silk and white jade, and even spring tea only likes the ones picked on the Qingming day. .”

There are only two dice cups on the long table in front of the bead curtain, Ye Zhenge smiled clearly: "I am mediocre and have no time to warm up, how can I live like a fairy like Miss Ruan Dai."

"Don't the gods have any worries?" Ruan Dai said quietly with her fingertips wrapped around a strand of hair on her chest, "Every time it rains in the valley, my family will cook a pot of Junshan silver needles to watch the begonias bloom and thank you, and replace the old tea with new tea. "

"There is no worry in the world. Waiting is a day, and letting go is also a day."

"Heh..." Yuzu stepped on the lichen, Ruan Dai lifted the curtain and walked towards Xi Xiu, seeming to inadvertently cast a glance at Xi Xiu, a simple glance made the young man's cheeks flush.

Ye Zhenge shook his folding fan lightly and said, "Are you satisfied?"

"This young man is much more interesting than you." With a sweet smile, Ruan Dai sat down gracefully, her body full of fragrance, intoxicating.

Without answering this question, Ye Zhenge cut to the chase and said, "Why doesn't he show up?"

"If you want to see him, you have to follow the rules. It's only because the surname Shen loses every bet. I don't have a relationship if I don't have a chance."

"Press the trivial matters for now, I have something important to talk to him about."

Looking at a bamboo flute hanging on the wall, Ruan Dai said affectionately: "The annoying girl who leans on Cui Pavilion has extraordinary dancing skills, rich and refined scholars, knight-errants and celebrities all bow down under her skirt, but there are also rumors that her piano skills are the She is unparalleled in the world, but those who are lucky enough to listen to it are rare, because she only sings with one person. Although the sound of the piano is far away, the sound of the flute is close in front of you. I wonder if my family can enjoy it?"

Ye Zhenge replied with a smile: "It's up to you."

"Deserving it so happily, is it overconfidence or underestimation of the enemy?"

"Wouldn't it be disappointing for a girl to be timid?"

Looking directly at Ye Zhenge with her beautiful eyes, her smile disappeared slightly, Ruan Dai's eyes showed a hint of arrogance: "Please."

Betting on big and small is a common way of playing in gambling houses, but what Ruan Dai wants to compete with Ye Zhenge is to listen to the dice.Each has a pair of cups, three dice, roll the dice at the same time, leave the hand, guess the number of points in the opponent's cup, all right and all wrong calculations, the first to win three is the winner.

There are dozens of gambling houses in Jinyuan, and many connoisseurs have gone into the workshops to investigate, but lost their helmets and armor, and fled in despair.Because of this, Ruan Dai amazed everyone and became famous far and wide. She was given the nickname "Jade Hand Fragrant Begonia", and she was equally famous for her skill and perverse personality. Information.

Rolling dice and listening to dice requires years of hard work and talent.With two cups and six dice, it is simply impossible for ordinary people to make judgments amidst the irregular and miscellaneous sounds.

After a quarter of an hour, five rounds have passed, and the two are evenly divided.

Ye Zhenge's forehead was sweating unknowingly. He seldom went all out in the past, but how can there be a difference in a master's move?

With slender arms and five fingers, Ruan Dai shakes the dice cup, with 36 sides, 48 ​​corners, and 72 edges, all the changes are in the ear.

As the dice cup fell back to the table, both of them concentrated and held their breath.
