Some of the onlookers knew these gangsters, and they whispered: "They are all Sun Erhu's subordinates, so it's better to provoke them less." ”

Liu Xiu didn't know who Sun Erhu was in people's mouths, so he asked an elderly man next to him: "May I ask the old man, who is Sun Erhu?" ”

The old man looked at Liu Xiu strangely, saw that he looked dignified, and the clothes on his body were not bad, and said, "The young man is from out of town, right?" Sun Erhu is a well-known big man in this area, he opened a gambling house, and he is making money every day, it is said that Sun Erhu and the county lieutenant are still friends of life and death. ”

Liu Xiu first sighed and asked, "Where is Sun Erhu's gambling house?" ”

The old man pointed forward and said, "It's just ahead, less than half a mile." ”

"Thank you, old man."

"Young people still don't go, if you enter the gambling house, you will lose all the gold and silver at home." The old man sighed as he shook his head.

Liu Xiu owed the old man, didn't say anything more, pulled Luo You on the other side, and the two withdrew from the crowd.

Luo You said indignantly: "Childe, those people are too much, beat people to death!" This...... Will it cause death? ”

Liu Xiu smiled and said, "Don't worry, they will be measured." The people in the gambling hall want money and don't want their lives, and if they beat people to death, it will not be good for them, but will cause a lot of trouble. After a pause, Liu Xiu shrugged his shoulders and said: "But any poor person, there must be something hateful about him, don't look at him being beaten very badly by others now, but once he has money again, he will still go to the gambling house to fight his luck." "As long as you get addicted to gambling, it's too difficult to quit again.

The two of them walked forward as they spoke. After walking out for about half a mile, Liu Xiu saw a gambling house on the side of the road.

The casino has a large board of cards, more than twice as many as the average shop, and business is booming, with a constant stream of people coming in and out.

Liu Xiu raised his eyes and looked at it, shook his head at Luo Youyi, and said, "Let's go!" Go in and take a look! ”

Luo You was very excited, and happily followed Liu Xiu and entered the gambling hall with him.

The façade of the gambling hall is large, and the space inside is larger, but the huge gambling hall is almost overcrowded, and there is almost nothing else to see everywhere you look, all of them are small heads, which can really be described as crowded.

Liu Xiu pulled Luo You, and it took a lot of effort to squeeze into the crowd. In the casino, there are bets on everything, some bet on dice, some bet on six games, and even bet on chess and Go.

This gambling hall is very close to Taixue, and a considerable number of gamblers are students, in the face of these high-achieving students, the gambling hall has specially set up elegant gambling games such as betting on chess and Go.

Liubo was a very popular gambling at that time, two people played against each other, each with six sons (five soldiers, one general; The soldier is called scattered, and the general is called the owl), and the dice are thrown to decide who will go first and how many steps to take. Whoever eats the opponent's general (枭) first wins.

Liu Xiu took Luo You and walked around the casino first. Luo You hadn't been exposed to these, he felt very fresh, his eyes were almost exhausted, Liu Xiu walked to the place where he gambled on chess, and stopped.

There are two types of chess, one is a two-player game, and the other is to solve the endgame. The two played against each other, with a game of 300 yuan, a game of 500 yuan, and a game of 1,000 yuan.

Liu Xiu stood aside and watched for a while, feeling that the chess players invited by the casino were indeed very powerful, the chess strength was very high, and the chess players in the casino moved extremely fast, and they did not give the other party time to think at all, which gave people a strong sense of oppression psychologically.

Liu Xiu is also very proficient in chess, but in the face of these casino invited chess players, he is not sure of winning. He turned to the endgame.

The palace has a lot of books, including many ancient chess scores, and Liu Xiu's endgame attainments are very deep.

Looking at the endgame on the chessboard, he basically understood everything.

He walked to a plate of endgames, touched his body, as if he didn't have any money, Luo You walked over, took out a money bag, took out a turtle coin from it, handed it to Liu Xiu, and asked in a low voice, "Does Childe also want to gamble?" ”

Liu Xiu smiled and said, "Since we are here, we don't come in vain." As he spoke, he slapped the turtle coin next to the chessboard, and immediately a chess player came over, knelt down opposite Liu Xiu, waved his hand to Liu Xiu, and said, "Childe, please go first." ”

Looking at the chess player opposite, he is not very old, about thirty years old. Liu Xiu nodded to the other party, and then looked down at the endgame on the chessboard, he first picked up the car, and when he saw that the other party squinted his eyes slightly, he put the car down, picked up the cannon instead, and took a step forward, general.

The origin of Xiangqi can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the cannon in Xiangqi is not a cannon in the modern sense, but a stone cannon, that is, a trebuchet.

When the casino chess player saw Liu Xiu pick up the car first, he thought that he had met a layman, so he naturally felt contempt, but when he saw Liu Xiu put the car down and went to the gun instead, he realized that he had met an insider this time.

His face became solemn, and he responded cautiously.

Liu Xiu has seen a lot of ancient scores, but he doesn't remember it very solidly, but the other party's micro-expression provided him with clues, and he went right at the beginning, and the following is basically a routine, and he won this endgame like a cloud.

The casino rule is to buy one and pay one. In just such a while, Liu Xiu won 300 yuan. He took the two turtle coins and walked over to the next endgame. Without the slightest hesitation, he staked both turtle coins.

He was still playing against the same player, whose face was much more solemn, staring intently at the board. Liu Xiu repeated his old tricks, picked up a chess piece, put it down, picked up another chess piece, put it down again, and repeated it several times.

The chess player on the opposite side looked impatient and was about to speak, when Liu Xiu decisively made a move. The opponent's open mouth immediately closed, lowered his head, and slowly picked up the chess piece and took a move.

Next, Liu Xiu's chess speed became faster and faster, without giving the opponent any chance, and won the endgame of this game in one go.

After winning two endgames in a row, the turtle coins in Liu Xiu's hand also increased to four, that is, 1,200 coins. He got up and walked to the third endgame, and the old god sat down on the ground, still pressing the turtle coins in his hand.

The chess player opposite frowned, and slowly sat down opposite Liu Xiu, while looking at Liu Xiu carefully from one glance at the next. This time, Liu Xiu did not make any more temptations, and made a quick and decisive move.

After only taking the first three steps, beads of sweat oozed from the forehead of the opposite player. It didn't take two minutes for Liu Xiu to win the third set of the endgame.

Luo You, who was standing behind him, was full of excitement, and couldn't help but clap his hands and applaud: "Childe has won!" Childe has won again! With Luo You's cheers, many gamblers around came over, stretched their necks one by one, and looked curiously.

The four turtle coins turned into turtle coins, Liu Xiu had no intention of stopping, and continued to walk to the next endgame and sit down on his knees. Looking at his posture, it seems that he wants to finish the endgame of this row.

The opposite player sat down on his knees at the end of the fourth game, and as he played, his forehead was no longer oozing beads of sweat, but dripping downwards.

In the back and forth between the two sides, the fourth set ended with Liu Xiu's victory. At this time, not only Luo Youhuan shouted hello, but also the surrounding gamblers cheered together.

Many gamblers have lost in these endgames, and now seeing someone who can solve the endgame in a row, their hearts seem to be like a bad breath.

Liu Xiu took a breath and went down to the endgame of the first set, and at this time, Liu Xiu's bet had reached as many as sixty-four turtle coins, that is, 19,200 yuan.

The endgame has nothing to do with chess power, it is completely a routine, as long as you understand its routine, even people who can't play chess can crack it step by step.

When Liu Xiu successfully won the first endgame, the opposite chess player was already sitting on the ground as if he was weak, with sweat on his head and body, and the clothes behind him were soaked with sweat.

This time, Liu Xiu didn't win a small amount of money, but a full 19,200 yuan.

There are more than 100 turtle coins, Liu Xiu can't hold them, so he can only hold them in a tray. When he put all the turtle coins in the tray and was about to take the tray away, the chess player on the opposite side pressed the tray down.

Liu Xiule looked at each other and asked with a smile: "Sir, you can't afford to lose?" ”

The old chess player on the opposite side blushed, and Zhengse said: "This son, how about we play a game?" ”

Breaking the endgame is not showing chess strength, and this chess player is also very unwilling to lose.

Liu Xiu thought for a moment and asked, "What about the bet?" ”

The opposite player patted the board and said, "All of them!" ”

Liu Xiu touched his chin, pondered for a moment, and said, "Okay! I'll play a game with you! ”

A game with a stake of up to 30,400 dollars made the onlookers can't help but let out an exclamation. Liu Xiu and the chess players sat on both sides of the chessboard and laid out their own chess.

Since this gamble was proposed by the opposite chess player, the man also politely asked Liu Xiu to go first. Liu Xiu was not polite, the cannon was flattened five, and the head cannon was the first cannon, and the opposite chess player responded with two horses and three horses.

The speed of the chess on both sides is very fast, and the continuous shots are snapping, the horses are jumping, the cars are attacking and bombarding, you come and go, and the fight is inseparable.

Liu Xiu's early layout is average, but the level of the mid-term game and the late endgame is extremely high.

At the beginning of this chess game, the casino chess players had a clear advantage, with an advantage of two more pawns. You must know that in the master duel, the advantage of the two pawns is not small.

But in the middle stage, Liu Xiu simply reversed the disadvantage, and in the later endgame, Liu Xiu began to exert his strength, and the other party gradually became difficult to parry, at this time, the advantages and disadvantages of the two sides have been completely reversed.

In the end, Liu Xiu defeated the opponent with one more horse and one pawn.

After this chess game, the casino chess player sat on the collapse as if he had collapsed, looking at the chessboard, stunned and unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

The surrounding gamblers cheered and applauded like a tsunami. Luo You was even more excited, both eyes were shining, and his admiration for Liu Xiu was beyond words.

She really didn't know that Liu Xiuxiang's chess strength was so powerful. In the past, she often saw Liu Xiu and Deng Yu playing Go, and it was the first time she saw Liu Xiu playing chess.

At this time, a casino chess player in his early fifties came over, patted the young chess player on the shoulder, and motioned him to get out of the way, and then he knelt down opposite Liu Xiu and said with an expressionless face: "This son, how about I play a game with you?" ”

Liu Xiu stretched his muscles and said, "I'm sorry, I'm tired." As he spoke, he put more than two hundred and fifty turtle coins into two trays, then stood up, stretched, and turned to walk away.

The elderly chess player asked in a weird way, "Childe doesn't dare to gamble with me?" ”

Regarding his clamour, Liu Xiu didn't take it to heart at all, but asked happily: "Sir, would you like to bet a game of Go with me?" ”

The elderly chess player frowned, stared at Liu Xiu for a long time, and said, "If Childe wants to play Go, I can find someone to play with Childe." ”

"Okay!"

"What's the stake?"

"Old rules, all of these!" As he spoke, Liu Xiu pouted at the two trays.

"Good! We're sure of it! "The turtle coins in Liu Xiu's hand are two hundred and fifty-six, and the total is seventy-six thousand hundred coins. This money is enough to buy a big house in Luoyang City, where every inch of land is valuable.

The casino lost so much money to Liu Xiu, and how could he let him leave like this, of course, he had to find ways to win the money back.
