"Bandit Fight? Cousin, how do we fight this? "
Back at the Yunshan Villa, Ye Fashan was looking at Li Zexuan's wooden planks that were thicker than paper. He frowned and asked.
"Hehe! Everything has its own rules. Of course, Bandit Fight has its own rules! Wait a moment, Fashan. I'll tell you the rules after I've finished cutting 54 wooden planks! "
Li Zexuan replied as he showed off his sword skills.
The piece of yellowish-white wood plank was like a piece of tofu in his hands. He could easily cut it and shape it as he wished. There were already four or five wooden planks on the ground that were exactly the same size and thickness!
Seeing that Li Zexuan was keeping him in suspense, Ye Fashan pursed his lips speechlessly.
About half an hour later, the number of yellowish-white wooden planks on the ground increased. Ye Fashan suddenly thought of something and asked, "Cousin, are you trying to copy the Leaf Trick onto the wooden planks?"
Li Zexuan could not help but be stunned. Leaf Trick? What was that? He had never heard of it in his previous life. There was no such thing in this body's memory either!
(Well, he could not be blamed. His previous life had gone to Dragon Tiger Mountain to learn martial arts when he was very young. He might be familiar with Taoist classics, but he knew very little about Confucian classics.)
"Fashan, what is Leaf Trick?"
Li Zexuan could not figure it out after thinking for a while, so he asked.
"Uh! Cousin, you don't know about Leaf Trick? "
This time, it was Ye Fashan's turn to be stunned. In his impression, his cousin was the kind of person who knew everything from astronomy to geography. How could he not know about Leaf Trick?
Being stared at by his' little cousin 'like this, Li Zexuan's old face reddened, and he became somewhat angry out of humiliation. "As the saying goes, a wise man's thousand considerations are bound to make a mistake. It's normal that your cousin doesn't know some things! Fashan, hurry up and tell me! "
Ye Fashan thought to himself, "A wise man is bound to make a mistake. That's not the right way to say it."
Although he thought this way, his original intention was not to embarrass Li Zexuan, so he explained, "Legend has it that during the war between Chu and Han at the end of the Qin Dynasty, Great General Han Xin invented a card game to alleviate the soldiers' homesickness. The planks were only the size of leaves, so it was called Leaf Trick.
The Leaf Trick is very simple. The players draw the cards from the back, flip them, and use the big ones to control the small ones. When a card has not been played, it will be kept as a hidden card, and no one will be able to see it. When a leaf is played, it will be placed on its back, and the fighters will be able to deduce the cards that have not been played from the revealed cards.
When Li Zexuan heard this, he was very surprised. This was because the way the Leaf Trick was played was very similar to modern poker! He had thought he Fashan, he had underestimated the wisdom of the ancients! He was sure that the Western Poker had borrowed the Leaf Trick from China's Ancient Poker!
In fact, it was indeed so. The Western Poker had the shadow of the Leaf Trick in its playstyle and form. According to the speculations of many scholars, Poker was evolved from the Leaf Trick!
Speaking of the Leaf Trick, there was one person who had to be mentioned – the Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty. She was a real master of the Leaf Trick. She had written volumes such as "The Little Leaf Trick", "The Little Leaf Trick", and "The Little Leaf Trick". Unfortunately, all of them had been lost.
The Leaf Trick was really popular during the Song Dynasty. From the literati to the nobles to the commoners, everyone loved the game! During the early Tang Dynasty, the Leaf Trick was not popular!
"Hey! I didn't know you were so knowledgeable at such a young age! "
Li Zexuan joked with a smile.
In fact, he was thinking that Ye Fashan was a good seedling. He was proficient in literature, science, arithmetic, and astronomy. If he came to Yanhuang College to further his studies, he would definitely become a representative of the next generation of engineers! It was a pity that this little cousin was determined to travel the world and save the world!
"Compared to cousin, I'm still far behind!"
Ye Fashan said modestly.
Li Zexuan smiled but did not say anything. He continued to cut the wooden cards at the dock!
After another quarter of an hour, the fifty-four wooden tablets were all peeled. Li Zexuan rubbed the edges of the wooden tablets on the sand until they were smooth and did not cut people. He then asked Xiao He and Xiao Xi to bring over a brush, ink, and cinnabar. He then wrote patterns and numbers on each tablet. After everything was done, he let out a long sigh of relief. Coincidentally, Han Yuxi came back from outside. He quickly called out, "Wife! Come, come, come! We're short of one person. Let's fight the bandits! "
"Fight the bandits? Husband, where are the bandits in our house? "
Han Yuxi looked around and asked curiously.
"Haha! These bandits are not the bandits! Wife, come here! Today, I'll teach you how to fight the bandits. I guarantee that you'll want to play again after one round! "
Li Zexuan burst into laughter.
Han Yuxi walked over doubtfully. Li Zexuan called Ye Fashan over and pointed at the numbers on the wooden sign. "Wife, Fashan, look. There are numbers on every card. Three is the smallest. The order is … … … … … … …"
In just half an hour, Han Yuxi and Ye Fashan understood the rules of Fight the Landlord, uh, no, Fight the Bandits. Li Zexuan adjusted the wooden cards in his hand and said with a smile, "Okay! You know the basic rules. As the saying goes, standing on the shore can't learn how to swim. Let's play first. You'll fully understand after you experience it! "
"Yes, yes!"
Han Yuxi nodded. She was eager to try. She felt that Fight the Bandits seemed to be more interesting than Ye's play!
Ye Fashan pursed his lips. He did not show any excitement, nor did he refuse.
The three of them took the cards in order. They were Ye Fashan's landlord (bandits). Ye Fashan looked at the cards in his hand and frowned. "No!"
An ace was the biggest. Why should he call?
Li Zexuan was Ye Fashan's landlord. At this time, he was beaming with joy. "Hehe! Call the Bandits! "
After that, he reached for the cards in his hand. It was a seven and a pair of Kings.
"Haha! Super double! "
Li Zexuan laughed proudly.
"Cousin, what do you mean by super double?"
Ye Fashan was puzzled. When they were talking about the rules, they did not mention this!
Li Zexuan explained, "Uh, for example, if a game is one copper coin, if I super double, it will be four copper coins. If I win, each of you will give me four copper coins. If I lose, I will give each of you four copper coins. If there is a bomb in the middle, it will be a bomb. On top of that, it will be doubled. Do you understand?"
"Oh!"
The two of them nodded. Li Zexuan asked, "Are you two going to double?"
"No!"
Facing such an aggressive Li Zexuan, the two of them shook their heads.
"Three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine!"
Li Zexuan threw out a straight. He secretly thought that the seven in his hand was very important!
Han Yuxi, "… No!"
Ye Fashan, "Five, six, seven, eight, nine!"
"Hey! Not bad! Bomb! (Four Kings) "
"No!"
"No!"
"Three with a pair!"
"Three with two with a pair of four!"
"Pass!"
"King bomb, one with three! Haha, a total of sixteen times. Come, come, come, sixteen copper coins each! "
