After Yi Tian returned to the White Horse Gang's Four Seas Gambling Den, he didn't do much. Even if the sky fell, there would be someone tall to hold it up. The most important thing for him now was to practice and protect himself.
When he was free, he would sit in his room and carefully study the Tiger Fist manual. At night, he would circulate his Qi and strive to reach Houtian Realm Level Five within a year.
Little Fatty Wang Bao ate his fill and slept his fill. He didn't pay much attention to his practice. After a few days, his waist grew, but his skills didn't.
However, every time he saw Yi Tian, he didn't have the same vigor as before. In the past, he was bullying others, but now he was being bullied.
Wang Bao often asked about Yi Tian's challenge. Every time he heard it, he would grumble.
No matter what, his gambling skills weren't below Yi Tian's. Why didn't he get involved in the gang's matters? He even fantasized that if he did, he would wipe out the bankers.
Yi Tian listened and sneered in his heart. If it weren't for your father, you would probably still be digging for food in the mud.
If Little Fatty really went to challenge the place, he would probably wet his pants before he even entered the door. Fighting on the edge of a knife still required courage.
As the days passed, people seemed to have forgotten about the conflict between the two gangs. The county town was still peaceful. Yi Tian didn't pay attention to the outside world. Every night, he would circulate his Qi three times. Slowly, he felt that his energy center was starting to feel something. After all, it was a low-level martial art, so it was still slow to cultivate.
During the day, he constantly familiarized himself with the moves in the martial arts arena. As his Qi strength increased, his moves also became more vigorous.
When he was training alone, he could force Little Fatty Wang Bao to take a few steps back with the same moves, fist against fist, palm against palm. He was about to reach Houtian Realm Level Four.
It was Instructor Wang Er who told Wang Bao that the Four Seas Escort Agency had recently received an escort. The owner specifically asked for the White Horse Gang's leader, Wang Gui, and the second-in-command, Ren Binghai.
Before Wang Gui left, he instructed Wang Er to keep an eye on Little Fatty. Although Wang Er was Wang Gui's brother, he was proficient in wine, women, avarice, and temper.
He didn't even pay attention to imparting his skills. After watching Wang Bao practice and praising him, he went to rest.
Yi Tian still followed the same old routine step by step, circulating his Qi three times a day. After he finished work at night, he heard Wang Bao calling him at the door. Wang Er went to the brothel today, and there was no one watching him at night. He came to ask Yi Tian to go to the casino.
Every night, the most bustling place in River Wan County was the East City. Most of the high officials and nobles lived here, so there was usually no curfew at night.
The Four Seas Casino was located in the center of the East City, and business was booming at night.
Those who could not be seen during the day would definitely come here at night for a small gathering or go to Li Manxiang, which was right across the street, to look for girls. It was the real money-squandering nest of Hewan County.
Usually, whenever Ren Kui was resting, he would ask Yi Tian to take charge of the casino. Therefore, Yi Tian was very familiar with the gamblers at night.
It just so happened that Ren Kui was overseeing the gambling house today. He was afraid that the two masters were not around, so he needed someone to oversee the gambling house.
Little Fatty Wang Bao walked into the front yard of the casino and greeted Ren Kui. Then, he went up to the second floor with Yi Tian. As he walked, he looked around and asked Yi Tian if the casino had this many customers every day.
Yi Tian was usually overseeing the casino. After Wang Bao asked, he realized that there seemed to be more people than usual today. He had some doubts in his heart, but he could not say anything.
Standing on the second floor of the gambling house, one could see the entire gambling house. Although the gambling house was full of people, there weren't many people who were actually placing big bets.
Those who came were all old gamblers. They did not have much money in their pockets and wanted to try their luck. They would sit for a few hours and only place a few bets.
Wang Bao felt bored and wanted to go back to eat supper. However, Yi Tian pulled him back and pointed at the middle-aged scholar sitting below. "I know this person. He's an expert."
Wang Bao turned around and looked at the confused Yi Tian. Looking at the confused Wang Bao, Wang Bao explained what he had seen a few days ago when he came back from Bei City.
Wang Bao was elated. After being bored for so long, he finally had some fun. He did not come in vain today.
Yi Tian's face darkened. It was obvious that this person was invited by the Green Bamboo Sect to help. No wonder it was so peaceful recently.
It turned out that he waited for the two masters to leave before coming. The timing was really good. There must be something wrong with this escort.
In Yi Tian's eyes, there were five people in the lobby who were suspicious. There was Tong Sha, who was sitting in the front, and the three gamblers behind him.
It seemed that the three of them were also gambling, but they were standing in a position to protect Tong Sha's back. If someone wanted to get close to Tong Sha, they would have to go through one of them.
There was also a bearded man wearing a bamboo hat. He seemed to be gambling at the side, but he only bet one tael each round. He did not care about winning or losing, but his eyes would occasionally glance at the four people.
Every time Tong Sha placed a bet, the surrounding gamblers would swarm to the banker. When the banker opened his cup, it would cause a wave of sighs.
The gamblers who got their money laughed loudly. Only Tong Sha minded his own business and drank his tea as if it was only natural.
This scene was very similar to when Yi Tian went to challenge the gambling house. However, Tong Sha was calm and composed, which Yi Tian could not compare to.
After ten rounds in a row, the banker's hands were so weak that he could not open his cup.
The situation at the gambling table had already been reported to Second Gear Leader Ren Kui. Seeing that his own work was on the verge of collapse, the manager had to come out and mediate.
Ren Kui counted the banknotes on the table and told his subordinates to pay up. Then he walked over to Tong Sha and lowered his head to say a few words.
Finally, Tong Sha said loudly, "I've long heard that the Four Seas Casino opened its doors to do business. Why is it that after a customer wins, they chase people away?"
When the surrounding gamblers heard this, they all nodded. There was no reason for the casino to chase people away. Ren Kui listened with an unnatural expression. Although he wanted to settle the matter peacefully, the other party was so aggressive that he could no longer back down.
Today, the two gang leaders were not here. That woman Tu Jiaojiao also did not care about the gambling house. He could not weaken the reputation of the White Horse Gang and the Four Seas Casino.
Ren Kui then instructed the waiter. Someone ran out to rearrange the gambling table. Ren Kui stood behind the table and was about to shake his cup.
Ren Kui also knew the consequences. However, if he said that he did not want to gamble after setting up the table, then the Four Seas Casino would not be able to continue operating.
The other party wanted to be a fierce dragon that did not cross the river. Here, a strong dragon could not suppress a local snake. He had to properly weigh his own weight.
Gambling was all about momentum. Even if you lose, you can't lose. If you lose momentum first, you will lose three points later on.
Others were very confident in Ren Kui. Who told him to be the number one in the Four Seas Casino? Yi Tian watched from the second floor and muttered in his heart. He had seen Tong Sha's methods. He should be on par with Ren Kui when it came to shaking dice. Presumably, he would not be too bad when it came to listening to dice.
He did not know if Ren Kui had any way to beat him.
Wang Bao thoughtlessly called out, "Quickly look. It's starting. There's a good show to watch." Yi Tian looked at Wang Bao. You coward, you don't even know the consequences of gambling. Sometimes ignorance is bliss.
Downstairs, Ren Kui rolled up his sleeves. After standing firm, his right hand stroked the dice cup. Suddenly, like a whale swallowing a dragon, he flipped the cup three times in the air. His left hand supported the bottom of the cup and gently placed it down.
Tong Sha casually placed two thousand taels of silver on top of the large characters. With the sound of a bet, the dice cup opened and a row of four, five, six, and three dice were seen.
"Compensate him," Ren Kui said with an expressionless face.
Ren Kui shook the dice four times, but Tong Sha was able to guess all of them. The surrounding gamblers were in awe. Getting it right once was not strange, but getting it right five times in a row was enough to show that this person was very strong. Yi Tian looked at the small mountain of silver on the table and shook his head. How was this gambling? This was clearly giving away money.
In less than ten rounds, the entire Four Seas Casino would be given to this Tong Sha. Ren Kui, as the banker, should also understand this. He should take measures for the next round.
Sure enough, Ren Kui was laughing and joking on the surface, but in his heart, he knew that things were not good. If he lost this round, he did not know if the silver in the treasury would be enough.
Although there was still money in the bank, it could only be taken out by the two Clan Leaders.
The two hundred thousand taels of silver in the casino's treasury was the limit of what he could use.
On the sixth round, Ren Kui skillfully made a secret move. On the surface, he looked like he was following the rules by rolling three, four, five, and twelve. His hands were filled with hidden strength. The moment he put down the dice cup, he suddenly exerted strength and broke a die. Although the sound was very soft, Yi Tian could still feel that something was different. If it was under normal circumstances, Yi Tian would not have noticed that Ren Kui exerted strength like this.
However, after five rounds, Ren Kui's breathing was obviously heavy. His inner breath was unstable, and the burden on his heart was too heavy. Being eager to win was a taboo.
Yi Tian, who was on the second floor, shook his head at Wang Bao, indicating that he had lost this round. The little fatty did not believe it.
Tong Sha, who was sitting at the gambling table downstairs, also had a serious expression. This time, he was not as decisive as before.
After looking at the banker, he thought for a moment and bet all the silver on small characters. Finally, he smiled strangely and said, "Master Ren's method is good. Unfortunately, your hand strength is a bit too strong. Be careful next time." After he finished speaking, he sat down like an old monk and closed his eyes to rest. He did not care whether the dice cup was open or not. Perhaps in his eyes, Ren Kui was no longer worthy of being his opponent.
Ren Kui sighed and opened the dice cup with trembling hands. He saw a three and a four, and some powder from the dice.
At this moment, Ren Kui seemed to have aged ten years. The confidence on his face in the past was gone, and there was only endless loneliness.
The accountant brought up all the money in the gambling house's treasury and, according to Tong Sha's bet, counted the silver notes and gave them to him.
Yi Tian saw that he could not count on Ren Kui. In his current state, even a third-rate gambler could beat him. The little fatty, Wang Bao, looked at Yi Tian with a strange expression and said, "You're good. I just guessed that three, four, and fifty-two are big."
"That's because your hearing is not good enough. You definitely didn't guess the last question correctly last time," Yi Tian replied with a shrug. "This Tong Sha is not simple. Normal methods cannot beat him. Master Ren was crushed by his own pressure. If it was under normal circumstances, the two of them would be evenly matched. Gambling is a matter of seeing who can't withstand the pressure first. "
The gambling downstairs was not over yet. Ren Kui asked for a break of fifteen minutes, and his opponent readily agreed.
He also asked the waiter to serve wine and dishes. After this meal, he would be the boss of the Four Seas Gambling House. Tong Sha ate with relish.
Upstairs, Wang Bao saw this and became anxious. Seeing Yi Tian staring at the dice cup in a daze, he hurriedly pushed him.
He heard Yi Tian say something. After a few times, Yi Tian suddenly stood up and ran downstairs to pick up another dice cup. He then started to play around with it.
After half an hour, Yi Tian took a new dice cup and replaced the original one on the gambling table with dice. After that, he whispered something in Ren Kui's ear, then he stood aside and waited.
Ren Kui also had doubts in his heart. Seeing that the incense was about to burn out, he had no choice but to get up and go forward.
If he did not gamble, the Four Seas Gambling House would be closed today. If he continued to gamble, there was still a glimmer of hope.
Tong Sha was also full. After eating, he wiped his mouth and angrily said, "Let's start, Master Ren. This is the last time I call you Master Ren. If you don't play, you're a bastard."
Ren Kui suppressed his anger and stood up again. He organized his thoughts and looked at the expectant faces of the people around him.
Following that, she stretched out her palms again and again, using the soft strength of her soft hands, she shook the dice cup until it made clinking sounds.
His right hand clasped and his left hand pushed, and the dice cup landed on the table. Ren Kui's right hand pressed on the lid of the cup, waiting for his opponent to place his bet.
The three people beside him excitedly urged Tong Sha to place his bet, but Tong Sha's face was full of doubt and he was unwilling to place his bet. Yi Tian fanned the flames and said, "Whoever says he's not going to bet is a bastard."
Tong Sha rolled his eyes at Yi Tian and thought for a while with a little melancholy. He was at a loss on the two words "Big" and "Small". In the end, he gritted his teeth and pressed his hand on "Small" and said to open the cup.
Ren Kui opened the dice cup. There were three dice lying clearly in the cup. Four, five, and sixty-five "Big". After saying that, he was relieved.
Tong Sha was like a deflated ball. He sat down and muttered, "Impossible, impossible. I didn't hear it wrong. How could it be" Big "?"
The whole hall was in chaos. The gamblers were pointing and talking. Some sensible people even ran up to congratulate Ren Kui.
Tong Sha's face was red. He turned his head and the three bodyguards followed him out of the Four Seas Gambling House.
Ren Kui looked at Yi Tian with a face full of smiles. After making a face, the two of them quickly returned to the inner hall. Yi Tian did not hide it from Ren Kui. He only said that he would understand after taking a look at the dice cup.
Ren Kui took the dice cup and looked at it carefully. It was no different from the ones he usually used.
Seeing that he was puzzled, Yi Tian had to explain, "Ordinary dice cups are made of wood. When shaking the dice, the gamblers will judge the points according to the sound of the dice and the dice hitting the cup. The sound of each dice is different. Tong Sha should be an expert, but he didn't expect that I put a thin layer of cotton cloth at the bottom of the dice cup. When the dice hit the cotton cloth, the sound is relatively soft. It is inevitable that he couldn't hear it. "
Ren Kui, who was suddenly enlightened, came back to his senses. He looked at Yi Tian in a different way.
The two people in the room were talking when the door was opened. The bearded man with a bamboo hat came in.
After seeing him take off his bamboo hat, Ren Kui blushed and said, "Big Brother."
It was the first time that Yi Tian saw the director of the Second Gang, Binghai. He was very different from Ren Liang. He really didn't know that a big and rough man would have a fair and clean son.
Ren Binghai was in charge of escorting. After many years, he had a murderous aura. With the scar on his face, he looked like he was not to be trifled with.
But wasn't he escorting with the gang leader, Wang Gui? Why was he here?
