Soon, the croupier put the shuffled cards on the table, ready to deal the cards.
Before he could do anything, An Wujiu asked first, "Who will start with?"
The croupier didn't speak, and stretched out his palm to lead Shen Ti's direction.
"Random?" he asked again.
The croupier nodded, seeing that An Wujiu didn't continue, so he was about to deal the cards, but Amy suddenly jumped out and asked, "Are all these cards for us? You can't even hold the four decks of cards."
The croupier, who had been silent all this time, said, "You can remove some of the cards and change to a different model."
"That's good." Amy happily tapped the tip of her nails on the table, making a crisp sound.
She didn't know what method she used, but she took off the thin blue ribbon that was supposed to be on her forehead, and wrapped it around her neck. Matching it with her elegant dress, she had an extraordinary taste.
For some reason, An Wujiu felt that she was somewhat familiar when he observed this face carefully, as if she was someone he knew, but he couldn't tell who it looked like for a while.
The croupier adopted the guest's feedback, slid his hand parallel to the top of the card pile, and issued an order.
"Remove all 3, 4, 5."
As soon as his words fell, some playing cards floated out of the deck one after another, forming three neat rows in midair, floating above the table.
They are 16 3s, 16 4s, 16 5s, three kinds of digital cards.
After everyone confirmed, these three cards also disappeared.
48 cards were removed, leaving a total of 168 in the deck, two of which were the emperor and guard cards.
An Wujiu did the math, distributed to everyone, and there were three remaining cards. According to the rules, the extra cards would be taken over by the emperor who decided to ascend the throne.
If you get the emperor card when the cards are dealt, but you don't want to become the throne, you can only hand over the emperor card to the next family to see if the next family is willing to become the throne.
According to Zhou Yijue's thinking, he must have wanted to directly issue the emperor card or guard card to Maguire.
Maguire doesn't look like someone who would directly reject the emperor card. According to the rules of this game, the royalists have a slightly lower chance of winning, but they get more rewards.
An old gambling dog like Maguire will definitely want to be the emperor when the winning percentage wants to be.
Of course, there are accidents in everything. It is true that Maguire is a gambler, but he is always cautious, lest others discover his tricks.
So the deep-rooted trait in him is not so much desperate courage as paranoia.
The croupier reshuffled the cards and began to distribute them to everyone. His dealing speed was very fast and accurate. In just a moment, An Wujiu had a neat pile of playing cards in front of An Wujiu's hand. He started to check, and there were no marked kings or kings so far.
An Wujiu turned his cards upside down on the table, raised his eyes, and quietly observed the other people on the field.
Maguire, who was diagonally opposite, held the cards in his hand, fanned them in a row, picked and picked them, drew and inserted them, and adjusted the order. The expression on his face was not very clear, and he couldn't tell whether the cards were good or bad.
An Wujiu thinks this is normal, after all, Maguire is a scammer who hangs around the casino all the year round, so he won't lose face.
But there was one thing that was strange to him, An Wujiu could feel that Maguire's eyes kept looking at him, Shen Ti, and Zhou Yijue.
I don't know if the little drama he arranged has shaken Maguire's heart.
After all, in a casino, there is nothing more torturous than successive layers of psychological hints.
The poker cards were dealt out one by one, Amy was bored, knocked on the cards that had been dealt in her hand, glanced at the other people on the table, and suddenly stood up.
"It's so boring to wait like this, let me liven up the atmosphere for everyone." She smiled at Yan Yan, and walked to Zhou Yijue's side, dragging a long velvet dress.
An Wujiu stared straight at her whereabouts, always feeling that something was going to happen, and saw Amy put one hand on Zhou Yijue's shoulder and bent down.
As soon as he saw him bending over, a hand was in front of him.
An Wujiu turned his face away, Shen Ti again.
"It's not suitable for children." Shen Ti boasted without shame.
"I'm 20 years old." An Wujiu took his hand and held it in his hand.
Diagonally opposite Amy held a 9 of clubs between her two fingers, and snapped her fingers lightly at Zhou Yijue.
In an instant, the 9 of clubs in Amy's hand turned into an A of clubs.
Zhou Yijue looked at it, not surprised, but still smiled, and slowly clapped his hands in response.
"Wonderful, it turns out that Miss Amy is a magician by profession."
"It's just a small trick." Amy smiled back and blew a kiss. She readily accepted Zhou Yijue's compliment, and then dragged a long dress to Maguire's side, leaning over in the same way, but this time, she changed to a small one. magic.
An Wujiu tried to decipher the magic just now, probably because she held two overlapping cards in her hand, her hands were fast and skilled, so she couldn't see the flaw.
Amy snapped her fingers in front of Maguire, and Maguire stared at Amy's chest lewdly. After snapping her fingers, Amy reached out and pulled Maguire's belt down. When she stretched her hand back, a little king appeared in her hand.
Maguire was startled, subconsciously glanced at his deck of cards, checked, "You!"
"That's right, honey, this is yours, and I'll give it back to you." Amy put the little Wang back on Maguire's belt, and smiled and blew him a kiss.
It was Xiao Wang, yes, she did come back.
Maguire still has lingering fears about the magic just now. It’s not that he hasn’t seen thousands of tricks in casinos, but this is the first one to steal a card directly in front of him in the form of so-called magic.
Amy came between An Wujiu and Shen Ti, "You two handsome guys, it's my honor to play this round of gambling with you."
She smiled delicately and softly, and first quickly and skillfully performed a little card-changing magic trick for Shen Ti—taking out a 6 of clubs that belonged to him from the back of Shen Ti's neck.
Shen Ti is not an ordinary person, or not a general appreciation group for magic. He directly pulled Amy's fur sleeve and aimed at the cuff.
"You just hid in here, so many furs are so easy to hide."
"Why do you look like a child?" Amy touched Shen Tie's eyebrows with her fingertips painted with red nail polish, pushed him away, then turned around, leaned sideways on the table, propped her left hand on the table, and pushed him away with her right hand. Using a similar technique, he moved her slender fingers in front of An Wujiu's eyes.
Probably she is used to beauty tricks, that's why the fur draped on her body slipped off her shoulders at just the right time, exposing the smooth and white shoulders, which attracted people's imagination.
But it's a pity that An Wujiu is different from everyone else, he is unmoved, like a beautiful statue.
But his eyes were shining brightly, staring into Amy's eyes.
He was sure that Amy's micro-expression changed just now, it was very inconspicuous, but it was mixed with her various amorous feelings, and it was particularly abrupt in An Wujiu's eyes.
What exactly is she trying to do.
"Your hair is so beautiful." Amy smiled, gently stroked An Wujiu's face with her right hand, then stroked back to the back of his neck, groping through the bundled hair.
"Eh? What is this..." Her tone was pretending to be serious, and she withdrew her hand while speaking, holding a card between her thin white index finger and middle finger. The card was placed horizontally, with the suit facing down.
"The cards are dealt."
The dealer places the last three remaining cards in the middle of the table and looks up.
Amy, who was leaning against the table, also got up in time, smiled, and flicked her wrist gently.
The card flew out and fell into An Wujiu's arms.
Her skill is extremely skilled, even if she throws it like this, the suit side of the playing card is still facing down.
"Don't worry, this will be returned to you."
After finishing speaking, Amy's body left the edge of the table, took a few steps, and returned to An Wujiu's right hand, raised her left leg and put it on the right leg, and leaned back on the soft velvet chair with her legs crossed.
An Wujiu looked at the left hand that had been resting on the table under her fur that had spread out.
As he expected, a card was stuck in the arc of her palm.
Amy also turned her head and winked her left eye playfully at him, "Thank you handsome guy for your cooperation."
An Wujiu had a premonition.
According to the game he set up before, he speculated that if Zhou Yijue really wanted to arrange the three of them into a team, it would mean that Amy and Maguire would become the royal team.
Therefore, after Zhou Yijue confirmed that he accepted the proposal of being a revolutionary party together, An Wujiu was sure that according to Zhou Yijue's method, Amy would definitely have an identity card, but she would not know until she was enthroned whether she was the emperor or a bodyguard.
Showing emotion is one of the worst taboos at the poker table, despite the constant deduction in your head.
Therefore, An Wujiu remained calm, as if he hadn't found anything, and put the card that Amy found in his hair back to the rightmost side of his upside-down card fan.
The heartbeat continued to accelerate.
If he didn't guess wrong, he could omit the little trick he had thought up in advance for the time being. It just so happened that he was not a veteran who was used to doing tricks, so doing it by himself was easy to make mistakes.
While thinking, An Wujiu picked up the card fan again and looked at the suit side.
Just as he expected, Amy really changed a card, which was his 2 of spades.
And what Amy gave him was the little king-guard card with the sun totem painted on it.
From this moment on, An Wujiu's camp irrevocably reversed!
Even though this was what he wanted, it was just one step ahead of time, and it was accomplished beyond his expectations by the hands of others.
But this was beyond An Wujiu's expectations, so he tried to guess Amy's motive for this move.
Why did you give him the guard card
Did she find out about their deal with Zhou Yijue
Or, she found out who the emperor was, and she didn't want to be with the emperor.
While An Wujiu was thinking, he couldn't help moving his fingers on the table, tapping lightly.
None of these reasons are sufficient.
From the point of view alone, the guard card is the clearest and best card to play from the perspective of the audience, because the emperor he needs to protect is a bright card, and if he excludes himself, it will be clear at a glance who is the revolutionary.
This couldn't be related to Zhou Yijue, could it
An Wujiu looked at Zhou Yijue who was diagonally opposite, and met his gaze.
All of this was seen by Maguire.
Maguire failed to catch Amy's skillful card exchange, but he has been in the casino for so many years, and his intuition is very sensitive. He felt that there was something wrong with Amy, but when he saw the eyes of An Wujiu and Zhou Yijue, he felt that more suspicious.
Because just fifteen minutes ago, he finished a game of Russian roulette and was about to go to the Emperor's gaming table. Along the way, he heard several people in the orange team whispering, and he heard only a few words, which were about "there is a problem with the emperor card." .”, “They also lost the emperor card.”
He lit a cigarette and walked towards a place where there were few people. He wanted to smoke a cigarette to ease his overly tense emotions in the gambling game just now. Unexpectedly, beside the marble pillar not far away, two people from the green team also said "Royalist" table matter.
Maguire moved closer to them, and their voices grew more real with each step.
"It's true, I also think there is something wrong with the emperor card."
"Could it be done by the altar?"
"I don't know, God bless, don't let me draw the emperor card again next time."
The person who spoke glanced and happened to see Maguire walking over, and immediately patted the arm of his teammates around him, and left in a hurry.
The backs of the two were still whispering, and Maguire was full of doubts.
Emperor brand...
The croupier spoke again, pulling Maguire's thoughts out of memory.
"Please announce the identity card of the player holding the emperor card."
An Wujiu stared at the people on the table expressionlessly, his eyes finally fixed on Maguire.
As he guessed, Maguire was indeed the arranged emperor.
I saw him draw a card from the end of his card fan, flip it over, and face everyone.
The card in his hand is the king who has drawn the sun mark.
Maguire's face was heavy, he didn't say a word, he held the corner of the emperor card, his eyes fixed on An Wujiu.
An Wujiu wanted to look more relaxed, so he tapped his fingers on the table a few times indifferently, and looked at Zhou Yijue inadvertently.
Zhou Yijue slightly raised his eyebrows, his phoenix eyes were long and narrow, and then raised slightly.
This scene was also seen by Maguire.
Why do you keep tapping your fingers
Is it conveying some information
He lowered his head, tightly clutching the emperor card in his hand, the doubts in his heart became more and more dense, like a thick fog trying to cover his sight.
He thought of Zhou Yijue helping him cheat before.
Since such a person can do such a thing, he must be able to do it a second time.
No, no.
Don't even think about playing tricks in front of him!
"Player Maguire." The croupier reminded him, "May I ask if you choose to ascend the throne, or choose to abdicate?"
He thought, An Wujiu and Zhou Yijue must be in an alliance, and Shen Ti, yes, they are in the same team.
No, he can't simply trap himself in this situation, fall into their trap, and become the dead emperor.
"I give way."
Maguire's chest rose and fell, and he decisively placed the emperor card on the table and moved it forward.
Zhou Yijue frowned.
Why is this happening!
This move disrupted his plan, which was obviously already arranged. Once the Emperor faction wins, they will get more chips. According to Maguire's personality, he will definitely keep it.
Why.
An Wujiu heaved a sigh of relief.
He turned to look at Maguire's next family, Shen Ti.
Shen Ti rested his chin on his left hand, as if he was about to fall asleep, but he keenly sensed that An Wujiu was looking at him, so he also turned his face and smiled at him.
"You still know to take a look at me."
An Wujiu was a little embarrassed for a while, and pursed his lips.
He could even make up the second half of Shen Ti's unfinished sentence in his mind.
[I thought you had forgotten me. ]
Shen Ti didn't finish his sentence in the end, because the croupier had already asked him a question.
"You are the next home of the player Maguire, may I ask if you accept this emperor card and ascend the throne?"
Shen Ti leaned back on the chair, slanted, and lazily raised his eyelids.
"To or not to?"
He sat on the chair and stretched, then looked at An Wujiu, and grabbed his hand.
"You play rock, paper, scissors with me."
An Wujiu was a little puzzled, but he still got used to him and raised his hand.
"rock-paper-scissors."
Shen Ti and An Wujiu had a good understanding, they both got rocks.
Unexpectedly, it was a draw, An Wujiu thought there would be another round, but Shen Ti said directly, "Okay, I want it."
An Wujiu thought, forget it, just get used to it.
"Okay." The croupier handed out the emperor card to Shen Ti, together with the remaining three cards, "Player Shen Ti ascends the throne."
After finishing all this, the croupier straightened up and looked at the five people on the table, "Now, all players, please place your chips. The chips for the royal game must be the same for each player. Please negotiate a chip number."
Soon, a thirty-second countdown appeared on the table.
Shen Ti smiled, resting his chin on his left hand and looking at Zhou Yijue, "Hey, squint your eyes."
"The double chip you mentioned, I don't think it's enough."
Zhou Yijue's face was heavy, staring at the pair of deep green pupils in front of him.
"I want quadruple."
Shen Ti compared a number and raised his eyebrows.
"May I?"

The author has something to say:
Shen Ti: Damn, my wife is still in the same camp as me after going around for a while, it’s still the two of us, there is no light bulb, squint your eyes and you are not angry~
This patriarchal playing card may be played differently in different places, anyway, it originated in Shandong, I may simplify it a little bit, everyone watch it!
