Not to mention Hou Hongchang, even Han Yue didn't know that Chu Ci could play cards. Judging from his smooth and exquisite shuffling movements, he actually played very professionally.
There were four people at the gambling table, Chu Ci, Hou Yu, Hou Hongchang and Cheng Xurong. Hou Yu was basically an accompaniment, he was just curious that someone like Chu Ci could gamble, and wanted to play with him personally.
After shuffling the cards up and down, Chu Ci handed out the cards. Hou Yu, Hou Hongchang and Cheng Xurong each cut the cards once, and then dealt the cards. First of all, each person can take a face-down hole card. The size of this hole card is the key to winning or not.
Hou Yu was an accompanist. Although Hou Hongchang often went to the gambling table, he never studied the gambling skills carefully. Only Cheng Xurong lived in Fengchenli. She was the most proficient in things like ball, cards, and mahjong, and she had the sensitivity of a professional gambler. When she saw Chu Ci's way of shuffling the cards, she felt something was wrong.
Can the average player shuffle cards to the level of a casino dealer? Can ordinary players know fifty-two cards without interruption when shuffling the cards
This young engineer surnamed Chu must be very familiar with gaming tables and poker! His level of playing cards is definitely not an ordinary person!
Chu Ci saw that the cards she had shuffled were completely switched by the other three, and the expression on her face remained unchanged. After getting the hole card, he only glanced at it, then pressed it to his hand, and never turned it over again.
Pei Zhi dealt the cards for them. On the second card, Chu Ci had an A, Hou Yu had a 5, Hou Hongchang had a 10, and Cheng Xurong had a K.
The expression on Cheng Xurong's delicately made-up face changed, and he said with a smile, "Gong Chu is really lucky."
Chu Ci glanced at her, without saying a word, and threw out 100,000 chips.
Cheng Xurong called 100,000, and Hou Hongchang also called 100,000. Hou Yu saw that his hand was too low and it was almost impossible to make a straight, so he just laughed and folded.
When it comes to the second card, Chu Ci, who has the most points, is the first to get the card. This time he didn't seem to be so lucky, he only got a 3, Cheng Xurong a 9, and Hou Hongchang a 10.
This time, Hou Hongchang was the biggest. He already had two public 10s in his hand, plus the hole card 10, a total of three cards, whether it was a full house or three of a kind, it was not small. Chu Ci’s three of hearts is too small, Cheng Xurong has the possibility of a straight - but there are four 10s on the table, and he has already got three. If Cheng Xurong wants to win, he must get the fourth Zhang, otherwise her hand of loose cards will be completely useless.
How can there be such a coincidence in the world that a 10 is waiting for her to get it!
Hou Hongchang smugly added up to 500,000 chips, Cheng Xurong looked at the hole cards again, hesitated for a moment and followed; Chu Ci remained calm and said, "Follow."
Hou Hongchang glanced at Chu Ci's three of hearts again, and said with a smile, "Second Brother Han, don't feel bad for you later. After all, it's your baby, and I think it's worth spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy a beauty to smile. You Say?"
Han Yue looked at the cards and felt that it was unlikely that Chu Ci would win, "That would have to be a real smile.
Chu Ci stared at the table quietly, her eyelashes drooped down, forming a sparse and dense arc-shaped shadow, and she couldn't see his expression clearly.
"Sincerity is as good as gold and stone, Han Er, you can't keep whipping others, you have to give some candy when the time is right, and coax more." Pei Zhi said as he dealt the third community card, and saw that Chu Ci was a red Peach 2, Hou Hongchang is a 3, Cheng Xurong is a J.
Cheng Xurong smiled slightly. So far she has a 9, a J, a K, plus a Q in her hole card, and she is only 10 away from making a huge straight. Although Hou Hongchang has already got two common 10s, she is not worried at all.
As long as it's a card she cuts, she doesn't worry about losing at all—unless she deliberately wants to lose.
She has peace of mind for winning Hou Hongchang's money, and there is nothing wrong with winning Han Ershao's money, so when she cut the cards just now, she calculated the position of the cards. If there is no accident, she can definitely hit a diamond on the last card ten!
—Cheng Xurong has opened this hotel for eight years. As a well-known woman in the local area, she is quite proficient in mahjong, poker, billiards, and horse betting, which are crucial in the Fengyue industry. It can be said that since her debut to the present, no game has really exceeded her control.
As long as she plays a little bit, it doesn't matter how she wins or how much she wins, and how she loses or how much she loses is up to her wish, keeping the guests happy and coming back next time.
Although she was a little sorry for Hou Hongchang, she didn't want to let go of this lucrative gamble. After all, it was an honor to take money from Han Ershao's pocket, and there were not many opportunities.
If this one is calculated well, it won't be a problem to win millions.
Cheng Xurong's seductive red lips smiled slightly: "I'll follow."
She glanced at the audience, and there was no lack of contempt in her eyes. Who knew that the excitement in his heart hadn't passed yet, so he just heard Chu Ci say indifferently: "I'll follow too."
Cheng Xurong raised her eyebrows slightly - you follow? You have an A, a 3, and a 2. What confidence do you have to call this kind of card
That's right, looking at Er Shao Han's energy, he seems to take this person seriously. It is not uncommon for these princelings who hold real power to spend tens of millions of dollars for Bomei people. Presumably this young engineer also knows very well that the more he spends, the more Han Yue feels. He is precious.
Hou Hongchang followed without any objection, and Pei Zhi then dealt the last draw. Chu Ci got a 5 of Hearts, Hou Hongchang got a 3 of Diamonds, Cheng Xurong glanced after taking the cards, his whole body was shocked instantly, and he froze!
—That was not a ten of diamonds she had cut, but a two of diamonds!
how is this possible! The ten of diamonds that I saw with my own eyes, I have played the card cutting technique for more than ten years, and I rarely make mistakes!
How could he miss it? !
Cheng Xurong couldn't believe his eyes!
Without even raising his eyes, Chu Ci calmly combined the four community cards and said, "I have all of them."
... He dared to take all of them? !
Cheng Xurong tremblingly looked at Chu Ci, only to see this young man's plain water-like eyes swept over her face with a light sweep, so fast that she almost thought it was an illusion.
That's right, I really missed it—Cheng Xurong leaned back in the chair, thinking out of strength.
There is a saying in the casino that novices are afraid of skilled hands, skilled hands are afraid of masters, masters are afraid of thousands of hands, thousands of hands are afraid of missing hands, and those who miss are afraid of losing their hands. The technique she used to cut the cards just now is one of the tricks.
Hou Hongchang is a master at playing cards, but ordinary masters can't handle Qianshou who is skilled, unless this Qianshou suddenly misses inexplicably like her at the moment.
Although it was not necessary to chop her hands, this tragic failure still shocked her greatly. When she spoke again, her voice revealed a weakness: "... I discard the cards."
Chu Ci's face sank like water, as if her discarding cards was expected, and she wasn't surprised at all. Hou Hongchang's expression brightened, and he said loudly, "I'll follow! All of you!"
I don't know why a very strong thought suddenly flashed in Cheng Xurong's mind: Hou Hongchang can't follow! If you follow, you will lose! That engineer is definitely not stealing chickens, he really has a good card in his hand!
This idea is not so much the result of analysis, but rather a woman's sixth sense. It came so strongly that Cheng Xurong sat there blankly, opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word. come out.
Hou Hongchang shouted excitedly: "I will definitely win this stud game! Three of a kind! Three tens!" As he spoke, he turned over his hole cards, and it turned out to be a ten of hearts.
Chu Ci raised his head and stared at Hou Hongchang, a cold smile gradually appeared on his face. Immediately afterwards, he slowly pulled out the hole card that he had been pressing in his palm, and gently placed it on the table.
—It was a four of hearts.
Together with his four community cards, Heart A, One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Hearts Straight Flush!
Asian Sohari, the only second straight that is smaller than a Royal Flush!
The smile on Hou Hongchang's face seemed to be petrified all of a sudden, he sat there blankly with his mouth wide open.
"Can I take these chips?" Chu Ci asked softly.
Hou Hongchang was stiff for a while, then reluctantly nodded.
Chu Ci smiled, but there was no sign of a smile. He lightly threw the cards to the bottom of the pool, pushed the chips to Han Yue, and said without looking back, "I'll pay you back one hundred thousand, and the rest is mine."
Han Yue remained silent, his face uncertain.
Cheng Xurong looked at Chu Ci's calm profile, and suddenly a terrible thought arose in his heart. She stood up suddenly, pressed Chu Ci's right hand across the table, and said with a smile: "Chu Gong won a big game today, do you want to thank me as the host?"
When she said this, she quickly touched Chu Ci's five fingertips with her fingers, which instantly confirmed her guess and made her expression change.
Chu Ci didn't move and let her touch her, and when she let go, he said calmly, "It's just a small win. Mr. Hou has always been bold in his actions, so he probably wouldn't take a small win or loss seriously."
Only then did Hou Hongchang come to his senses, and sighed with a complex expression: "Money is small money. The key is that I haven't lost so badly for a long time. I really can't see that Chu Gong is a stud master. I must ask you for advice in the future." Ask for advice!"
Chu Ci said indifferently: "It's not worth asking for advice, it's just good luck."
Pei Zhi and others hurriedly ordered the waiter to come in and put away the card table, and at the same time said some interesting words to arouse the atmosphere, so that Hou Hongchang would not be reconciled to losing and would take the opportunity to make trouble again. Everyone was sensible and didn't mention playing cards anymore, and the atmosphere of laughing and laughing in the box quickly resumed.
Chu Ci sat far away on the sofa beside Han Yue, drinking water alone with his head down. After all, Hou Hongchang lost a round and was in a bad mood. While drinking, he messed around with Cheng Xurong and other women.
Cheng Xurong touched the two fingers of Chu Ci's right hand unconsciously rubbing together just now, and recalled the touch of his fingertips and even the side of his palm. That is definitely not smooth and delicate skin, but with extremely small and numerous old wounds, which have been healed for many years, but faint vertical and horizontal scars can still be felt.
It was a pair of hands specially trained in a certain aspect.
Cheng Xurong stared at Chu Ci without saying a word, suddenly Chu Ci raised his eyes as if feeling something, looked back, and smiled at her across the crowd.
He raised his hand, poked it in from the cuff of his right hand, and then slowly pulled out a hidden poker card, and turned it over to Cheng Xurong.
Cheng Xurong's mind went blank for an instant.
Even from such a long distance, she can clearly recognize that it is a ten of diamonds.
At that time, after she finished cutting the cards, she handed the deck of cards directly to Chu Ci, and Chu Ci handed it over to Pei Zhi, who dealt the cards, under the watchful eyes of everyone. In just one second, Chu Ci had already swapped the ten of the diamonds, the real card was hidden in the cuff, and the fake card slipped from the cuff and inserted into the pile of cards.
No wonder she didn't get the winning ten in the end!
She didn't miss it! It's just that the ten was no longer in the deck at the beginning of the game!
Chu Ci smiled and lowered her gaze, only to see a slight shake of the palm, and the Ten of Squares disappeared without a trace sticking to the cuff.
Cheng Xurong gritted her teeth, her face had become extremely ugly. She used to think that her gambling skills were not only unrivaled in the world, but she could also be regarded as dominating one side; who knew that after seeing this young engineer today, she knew what the truly exquisite thousand skills are.
Some people who have practiced the thousand skills to the extreme start playing with thin blades between their fingers, and then increase the number of blades one by one after they are familiar with it. It is said that some people can play with dozens of sharp blades with both hands at the same time, but their fingers are extremely flexible and will not be scratched by the sharp blades at all.
These are all thousands of skills practiced at the cost of ten fingers and heart and blood. Playing cards is easy. Fifty-two poker cards are integrated with his flesh and blood. Whoever plays cards with him is a dead man. .
Such people are generally very good at playing with knives, especially those who use small knives. Cheng Xurong had indeed heard of this kind of stunt among the people, but she always thought it was too magical, just a rumor.
——It wasn't until today that she saw with her own eyes what the real thousand arts were and what the real gambling was.
