Report

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, who were also in disguise, appeared together.

Originally, the two of them had wanted to carefully study the specific tactical arrangements and then send them to various parts of the battlefield.

Later, they felt that there was no need. The leading generals of various places had already learned very well. In addition, their weapons were advanced. Even if they hesitated at the moment of attack, they could still send back information in time through telegrams.

At that time, they would analyze the specific problems. Even if they came up with a good idea now and sent it over, what if the actual situation they encountered was different? What should they do?

This was what it meant when the general said that some orders from the emperor were not obeyed. If the general at the front needed to consult with the Ministry of War behind to use any formation, then what was the point of fighting?

In Wang Juan's opinion, not to mention the tactical arrangements of various places, even strategic adjustments had to be consulted with the commanding general at the front. You wanted him to complete the strategic objective and pass through in a short time, but in front of him was a snowy mountain. How could he pass through? There was no time at all.

This was because the enemy did not have telegrams at the moment. Otherwise, they would need to use electronic silence. The commanding general was very important.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan considered this situation and decided to temporarily let the commanders of various divisions act freely. They just needed to set the strategic objective into a large framework.

The two of them had nothing to do, so they came over to see what their younger brother and sister were doing.

Before they entered, they already knew what their younger brother Xiao Qiang was doing. It was not a calculation of a gambling game at all. Instead, it was a big gamble. They used their imposing manner to make the banker not dare to cheat, and they used enough money to balance out the small difference in probability.

In the end, they would win four copper coins. Unless they bet a lot at the beginning, they would only win more.

Xiao Qiang's method unconsciously displayed the basic rules of capital operation. The more money there was, the easier it was to make money.

The bad thing was that although this way of development was stable, the speed of making money was slow.

The fastest and best method was to have the sum of expenses and income be zero in a cycle. In other words, there was no profit or loss. The money was always invested as quickly as possible after the profit.

Wang Juan felt that this method was the best theory of capital operation in a situation where the risk was relatively high.

But Zhang Xiaobao felt that it was best to always put the company in a negative capital operation situation. After overdrawing all the resources the company had, part of the risks or benefits would be transferred to credit institutions.

In Wang Juan's eyes, doing so was the behavior of a lunatic. As long as there was the slightest mistake, the capital chain would immediately be cut off. Not only would all the previous income not be returned, but the operator would also owe a large amount of debt.

However, Zhang Xiaobao believed that this was the most stable way of development. This was because when operating at a deficit, many credit institutions were tied together, and they could even rope in the political system to participate. Even if there was a little risk, there would be people who would be anxious and help to find a way to solve it. As a result, they had unknowingly overestimated the assets of their own companies.

In other words, the local political and credit institutions clearly knew that their own companies were not worth so much money, but in order to recover their investment, they had to continue to increase the amount of loans and preferential policies for their own companies. Otherwise, everyone would be doomed.

Therefore, according to Zhang Xiaobao's actual standard, he shouldn't have only earned this little bit of money after so many years. He should have more because Wang Juan didn't allow him to do so. Wang Juan absolutely believed that if she let go of the restrictions, Zhang Xiaobao would play even crazier, and no one would be able to stop him.

Since he could not gamble with the economic system of the whole society, Zhang Xiaobao wanted to participate in the small gambling game when he saw it. He had not played for a long time, and his hands were itching.

As the main participant of the game, Liu Feng did not know how terrible his opponent was, mainly because he did not know who his opponent was.

After seeing a bigger pearl and knowing that his opponent was noble and had a lot of money, he thought that his opportunity to make a fortune had come.

He had a unique skill of playing dice, at least that was what he thought. He was not a native of Yizhou City, but a person from a nearby village, very far away. When he was at home, he won some money because no one had money. Even if he wanted to win tens of thousands of strings of coins, the total bet of others could not reach that amount.

Later, when he was about to make a fortune, he was exposed. He actually used mercury dice. After paying the money, he was even poorer. Therefore, people were not willing to marry their daughters to him, because they thought that one was poor, and the other was not good quality.

His bad quality showed that he was active and opportunistic. Later, he found a way to make a fortune. Now, he planned to make more money and make a name for himself. He wanted to go back and show off to those who had looked down on him before.

Many people knew that mercury dice could be used to cheat, but not everyone could do it. It required skills and a long time of practice.

Mercury was flowing. When it was put in the dice, its weight would be different. Almost no one could tell that it was the effect of the Earth's gravity.

The trick to playing mercury dice was to control the strength and get used to it. It was like chopsticks. When you threw chopsticks with uniform weight, it was different to make them spin once or twice. It was easy to make them spin once. After using chopsticks for a long time, they had developed a habit of strength. It was not difficult to make them spin once, but it was very difficult to make them spin three times.

However, it was relatively easy to change to chopsticks with a heavy end and a light end. It could be done with practice.

The mercury dice followed the same principle. The moment the dice was thrown, due to the fluidity of mercury, it would cause the dice to receive an uneven force. If one grasped this degree well, the dice would be able to produce the desired number under certain circumstances.

Liu Feng had three sets of dice in his hand, each with three pieces. The inside of each set was mercury. The color of the outside was different from the material, so it was easy to confuse.

If he played with the dealers in the gambling house, he would not dare to change the dice. If he was caught, his hands would be chopped off.

Right now, he was bullying outsiders. Outsiders were not people who came from the outside, but people who were amateurs.

Liu Feng thought that since the children were from rich families, it was impossible for them to be good at gambling, unless they started their business by gambling. However, from what he saw, it was obviously not the case.

He decided to cheat them. He would win the big pearl and more money. After that, he would return to his village and teach all the people who had looked down on him a lesson.

Xiao Bei and the other nine children did not consider what dice Liu Feng would use or how to play. In their opinion, as long as their brother made a move, there was no possibility of losing. Their brother was a god-like existence. As long as they were by their brother's side, even if the sky collapsed, there would be a piece of sky that would continue to float above, because their brother was standing below.

Many children were like them, worshipping their parents. Boys generally thought that they should be like their father, and then find a woman who was similar to their mother to marry. Girls were the opposite. It wasn't incest. People who thought like that were too filthy. It was a very normal family habit.

Sadly, many boys and girls grew up and received a better education with the help of their parents. Then, they turned around and looked down on their parents.

Under natural development, this was not wrong. Old wolves would eventually be replaced by strong wolves.

Human development could not be like this. This was the reason why wolves could only be kept in zoos.

Human parents always hoped that their children would be better than them. However, many people who did not have children always felt that their parents were holding them back, causing their development to be slower than others. Then, they felt that their parents were very stupid. They did not know how to do this, they did not know that. They taught them many times, but they could not remember.

Of course, if such people met Xiao Bei, Xiao Bei would scold them to death. How many times do you need to teach them? Do you know how hard it is to teach children? I tell stories to Pan Er and the others over and over again, but in the blink of an eye, they forget. What did I say?

It was also because they had taught younger children that Xiao Bei and the others were more sensible than many older people. Even now, they still worshipped their brother and sister and swore to learn well. In the future, they would not need their brother and sister to worry about them. They would be able to support the entire family.

Xiao Bei and the others worshipped Zhang Xiaobao. In the entire hall, other than the Zhang Family and the Wang Family, only the Zhuang Family knew about it. No one else thought about it.

The Zhuang Family was very excited. When he saw the legendary figure, he was even more excited that he was able to guess who the nine little guys were.

He really wanted to leave, find the boss, and tell him to increase the security of the gambling house. It would be best if he could 'persuade' everyone else to leave. He could not let them make any mistakes, even if they were disturbed.

However, he did not dare. He understood human nature very well. If the other party did not have fun in the gambling house today, the gambling house's consequences would be very tragic.

"Let's play dice. Big brother wants to gamble with him." Xiao Bei turned his head and said to the Zhuang Family in front of him.

"I'll try first. I've never seen big brother play dice before. Let big brother see how to play." Xiao Qiang took out a few copper coins and signaled for the Zhuang Family to roll the dice. At the same time, he also prepared his own dice.

The Zhuang Family was about to cry. He secretly cursed, "Little guy, you're too much of a bully. My dice is not the same as yours. Can't your big brother deal with me?"

Although he thought this in his heart, he had no choice but to roll the dice. The crashing sound stopped when the dice cup fell. The Zhuang Family raised his head and looked at Zhang Xiaobao expectantly.

Zhang Xiaobao and Weiwei smiled and said to their younger brother, Xiao Qiang, "Just play three rounds, okay? People with pearls don't need other people's help. "

"Okay." Xiao Qiang happily agreed. He was about to throw out the dice in his hand. He wanted to bet three copper coins. It was not that he couldn't take out more money, he just wanted to play.

However, Zhang Xiaobao picked up the dice in Xiao Qiang's hand and casually threw it. It was a two, small.

The Zhuang Family was stunned. Then, he let out a sigh of relief and said, "Place your bets." He opened the dice cup. The three dice inside were one, three, four, and four.

"One, three, four. Eat big and pay small." He gave the three copper coins to Xiao Qiang.

Then, the dice cup fell steadily. Zhang Xiaobao threw the dice. It was a five. The Zhuang Family opened the dice cup: "Four, four, six. Eat small and pay big."

For the third time, Zhang Xiaobao waited for the Zhuang Family to finish rolling the dice. He threw a one. The Zhuang Family opened the dice cup: "Three, three, two. Eat big and pay small."

After shouting and giving the money to Xiao Qiang, his eyes were full of shock. He already knew that Xiao Bao could hear the sound of the dice in his dice cup. This was definitely not a fluke. After three rounds, he did not believe that Xiao Bao was lucky.

Then, he looked at Liu Feng with a pitiful expression. He said in his heart, "You are dead meat. You could have chosen anyone, but you chose Xiao Bao."

Wang Juan's beautiful eyes were also shining. She had never seen Zhang Xiaobao play dice. The information she collected before also did not mention it. But after thinking about it, she felt that it was normal. Zhang Xiaobao first learned his skills in prison. There were many gambling gods who broke their arms, legs, or eyes. Plus, Zhang Xiaobao was smart and hardworking. She believed that it would not be difficult for him to learn a few skills.

"How come I have never heard that you are good at gambling before?" Wang Juan touched Zhang Xiaobao. She moved her lips.

Zhang Xiaobao also moved his lips: "Because you did not send the Meteor Squad to deal with me. I have always been gambling in private."

"If I had known, I would have sent the Meteor Squad to deal with you." Wang Juan 'said'.

Zhang Xiaobao chose to be silent. The Meteor Squad he had at that time was many times stronger than the Meteor Squad that had just been formed not long ago. If they were to fight, it would be the worst case scenario. Although the Meteor Squad was strong in the world, the Meteor Squad was not the only strong organization. There were other ruthless people and mercenaries.

"What's the point of watching a little kid play? Little brother, let's compete. "Liu Feng felt the pressure. He had won three times in a row. Was it true ability or good luck?

Zhang Xiaobao was indeed not 20 years old. Moreover, he was different from other people who looked mature at a young age. He had always looked very youthful, even his eyes. If there was no special description, he would be a gigolo who lived off women.

However, in reality, this gigolo only freeloaded on a certain country. When he was full, that country would collapse.

He was very handsome, especially his hands. They were slender and fairer than a woman's hands. In Wang Juan's eyes, his hands were red and stained with blood. If she had to find a dignified saying, according to Zhang Xiaobao's words, "Buddha is merciful, but there are still 18 arhats." After killing people, they would turn back and be saved. After killing people, they would put down the butcher's knife and become Buddha immediately.

Even if he was kicked to hell by thousands of creatures, he still dared to make friends with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. I'm doing this for you. I'm afraid you'll be lonely.

Zhang Xiaobao showed his hands and said to Liu Feng, "How do you want to bet?"

"You and I will throw dice in a bowl. Whoever gets the most points wins. It's a best of three." Liu Feng suggested.

"Okay. Someone, bring the bowl and dice." Zhang Xiaobao followed the suggestion.

The dice and bowl were brought over. The people around consciously took two steps back, looking forward to today's game.

Zhang Xiaobao slowly rolled up his sleeves, revealing his forearms. He asked Liu Feng, "Who's going first?"

Liu Feng grabbed three dice and was about to throw when Zhang Xiaobao stopped him. "Roll up your sleeves. To be honest, you need to be topless to play dice. It's not elegant. You should at least roll up your sleeves, right?"

Wang Juan smiled at the side. She knew that Zhang Xiaobao wanted to win with skills and not tricks. It was impossible for him to not show his arms. His wide sleeves were enough to hide a set of mahjong tiles, let alone dice.

Many people who practiced close-range magic usually rolled up their sleeves to give others the impression that they were not cheating. However, they would always roll up their sleeves. Hence, the rolled up sleeves would become something to store props, and they could store a lot of things inside.

Therefore, when she saw the magician touching the sleeves, she was not interested in watching. What she admired was the kind of magic that was purely technical. The magician knew that the magician's magic was fake, but because the magician's hand movements were too fast, it was faster than the human eye could react, thus achieving the goal of deception. This was real skill.

As for the magician who specialized in playing with props, it was better to look at the people in the national spy organization who were involved in the production of spy materials. Seeing their ideas and the process of production was truly amazing. However, they could not show their talents on the screen.

"My … my arms are afraid of the wind. I'm afraid that the wind will blow my arms." Liu Feng obviously did not want to cancel out the function of the dice.

"I'll ask someone to close the door," Zhang Xiaobao said.

"I mean, it's not okay to show your arms." Liu Feng continued to find excuses.

Zhang Xiaobao nodded with understanding. "Oh! I see. Then, let's use a dice cup and bet on the size of the dice roll. What do you think? "

Zhang Xiaobao's suggestion was very fair. One was to see the skill of the dice roll, and the other was to see the skill of the listening. It could also be said that it was a game of luck.

Liu Feng didn't want to believe that the person who gambled with him had such good skills. Although he had won three rounds in a row with the dice, it could be attributed to good luck.

After belittling his opponent infinitely in his heart, Liu Feng still shook his head. "It's better to do it in the bowl. Others can see it clearly."

Zhang Xiaobao smiled and did not correct him. What did he say? Could it be that others could not see the dice roll?

Instead, he said okay and reached out to pick up three dice. Without any movement, a small knife appeared in his hand. The knife was thin and narrow, and the handle was very short. It did not have a sheath. The knife was two inches long, and the handle was more than half an inch. It was very strange.

"What knife?" The people around saw Zhang Xiaobao's knife and were puzzled.

Wang Juan narrowed her eyes. This kind of knife did not follow the principle of weight distribution of objects flying in the air, but Zhang Xiaobao had a special skill. When the knife flew up, it was 100% accurate within 20 meters. Even if the opponent had a gun, he was not afraid of within 20 meters.

Of course, he would not be crazy enough to use a knife to hit the opponent's bullet. That would be a story, or it would be an accident. He would make a dodging action that the opponent could not aim at and shoot the knife to achieve his goal.

No matter how unusual it was, Zhang Xiaobao was now doing something normal with the knife. He was drawing lines on the three dice in front of him. The dice were provided by the casino, and it was free, unlike the cockroaches that had to be bought.

After drawing a cross next to each of the dice, Zhang Xiaobao threw the dice into the bowl with satisfaction. He smiled at Liu Feng and said, "You can use the dice to throw into the bowl. I've made a mark in case you think I'm cheating."

Liu Feng's hands, which were hidden in his sleeves, were tightly clenched into fists. He did not expect the opponent to be so experienced. He hesitated and said without any embarrassment, "It's better to use the color cup. When I see the lines on the dice, I always feel uncomfortable. There are flaws."

"Oh! Okay, I'll listen to you. Who's going first? "Zhang Xiaobao was still very easy-going and easy-going.

Xiaobei's eyes were smiling like peaches. She admired her brother's confidence. If it was not for Xiaoyuan's photographic memory, she probably would not be able to find a husband in the future. She would always unconsciously compare others with her brother. Whether it was her big brother's ability or Xiaohai's arithmetic skills, they were deeply imprinted in her heart.

In fact, Xiaoyuan was the most powerful among them. In another ten years, he could transform into an encyclopedia at any time. He was even better than Zhang Song in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

"I'll go first." Liu Feng did not have time to pay attention to the confidence in the eyes of Xiaobei and the other children. He reached out and picked up the color cup, swinging it left and right in front of him. He put the dice into the cup and shook it. After a few breaths, he threw it on the short table in front of him and looked at Zhang Xiaobao.

Zhang Xiaobao was stunned. He took a deep breath and said slowly, "You … you just dropped a dice. How … how do we calculate this?"
