    Chapter 75 Hand Magic

    Soon, the dealer puts the shuffled pile on the table, ready to deal.

    Before he started, An Wu Jiu asked, "Who should start?"

    The dealer didn't speak, and stretched out his palm to lead Shen Ti's direction.

    "Random?" he asked again.

    The dealer nodded, seeing that An Wujiu did not continue, so he was about to deal the cards, but Amy suddenly jumped out and asked, "Are all these for us? Four decks of cards, I can't even hold them."

    The dealer who has been silent for a long time said, "You can remove some of the cards and change the mode."

    "That's good." Amy happily tapped the tip of her fingernail on the table, making a crisp sound.

    She didn't know what method she used, but she took off the blue thin belt that should have been on her forehead, wrapped it around her neck, and matched it with her elegant dress with extraordinary taste.

    I don't know why, looking at this face carefully, An Wu Jiu actually felt that she was somewhat familiar, as if she was someone she knew, but she couldn't tell who she looked like.

    The croupier took the feedback from the guests, slid his hand parallel to the top of the deck, and issued an order.

    "Remove all 3, 4, 5."

    As soon as he finished speaking, some playing cards floated out of the deck one after another, forming three neat rows in mid-air, suspended above the table.

    There are 16 3s, 16 4s, 16 5s, and three numbers.

    After everyone confirmed, these three cards also disappeared.

    After removing 48 cards, there are a total of 168 left in the deck, two of which are Emperor and Guard cards.

    An Wujiu did the math and divided it into everyone's hands, there were still three cards left, according to the rules, the emperor who decided to ascend the throne would take over the extra cards.

    If you get the emperor card when the cards are dealt, but do not want to be enthroned, you can only hand over the emperor card to the next family to see if the next family is willing to ascend the throne.

    According to Zhou Yijue's idea, he must have wanted to give Maguire the emperor card or the guard card directly.

    Maguire doesn't look like someone who would directly reject the Emperor's card. According to the rules of the game, the royalists have a slightly smaller chance of winning, but they get more and more rewards.

    Maguire, an old gambling dog, will definitely want to be emperor when he wants to win.

    Of course, everything has an accident. Maguire is right to bet on dogs, but an old man like him is always cautious, for fear that others will discover his thousand skills.

    So his deeply ingrained trait was not so much the courage to gamble, but more of a paranoia.

    The croupier shuffled the cards again and started to deal them to everyone, and he dealt the cards very quickly and accurately. In just a moment, An Wu Jiu had a small pile of neat playing cards in front of his hand, he started to check, so far there is no big king who has marked it.

    An Wu Jiu put his cards upside down on the table, raised his eyes and observed the others on the field calmly.

    Maguire, who is diagonally opposite, held the cards in his hand, arranged them into a row of fans, picked them, drew and inserted cards, and adjusted the order. The expression on his face was not very clear, and he could not tell whether the cards were good or bad.

    An Wu Jiu thinks this is normal, after all, Maguire is an old man who has been in the casino all the year round, so he will not lose face.

    But there was one thing that was strange to him, An Wujiu could feel that Maguire's eyes were constantly looking at himself, 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 tormenting than layers of psychological cues.

    The cards were dealt out one by one, and Amy was bored, tapped the cards that had been dealt in her hand, glanced at the other people on the table, and suddenly stood up.

    "It's boring to wait like this, let me liven up the atmosphere for everyone." She smiled Yan Yan, dragging her velvet dress to Zhou Yijue's side.

    An Wu Jiu 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 leaned down.

    As soon as he saw the bend, a hand stood in front of him.

    An Wu Jiu turned his face, Shen Ti again.

    "Not suitable for children." Shen Ti said boldly.

    "I'm 20 years old." An Wu Jiu took his hand and held it.

    Amy, who was diagonally opposite, held a 9 of plum blossoms between her fingers, and snapped her fingers lightly at Zhou Yijue.

    In just an instant, the club 9 in Amy's hand turned into a club A.

    Zhou Yijue looked at it, not too surprised, but still smiled slightly, applauded slowly, and responded.

    "Wonderful, it turns out that Miss Amy's profession is a magician."

    "It's just a little trick." Amy smiled and blew a kiss back, happily accepted Zhou Yijue's compliment, then dragged her long skirt to Maguire's side, and leaned over likewise, but this time, she changed a small one. magic.

    An Wujiu tried to decipher that magic trick just now, afraid that it wasn't because she was holding two overlapping cards in her hand, her hands were fast and skilled, so she couldn't see any flaws.

    Amy's hand snapped his fingers in front of Maguire's eyes, and Maguire stared at Amy's chest. When she stretched out her hand, a small king appeared in her hand.

    Maguire was startled, glanced at his deck subconsciously, checked, "You!"

    "That's right, my dear, it's yours, and I'll give it back to you." Amy put this little king back on Maguire's belt and blew him a kiss with a smile.

    It was this little king, yes, she did come back.

    Maguire still has lingering fears about the magic trick just now. It's not that he has never seen a thousand tricks in a casino, but this is the first one to steal cards directly in front of him, in the form of so-called magic.

    Amy came between An Wujiu and Shen Ti, "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 small card-changing trick for Shen Ti - taking out a 6 of clubs that belonged to him from the back of Shen Ti's neck.

    Shen Ti was not an ordinary person, or a general admirer of magic. He directly pulled Amy's fur sleeve and aimed at the cuff.

    "You hid in here just now, so many hairy hairs are so easy to hide."

    "Why are you like a child." Amy touched Shen Ti's eyebrows with her fingertips painted with red nail polish, pushed him away, then turned around, leaned on the side of the table, supported her left hand on the table, and pushed her right hand against the table. Using a similar technique, she moved her slender fingers in front of An Wujiu's eyes.

    Probably she is used to beauty tricks, so the fur on her body will slide down her shoulders at just the right time, revealing her smooth and white shoulders, which is thought-provoking.

    But unfortunately, An Wujiu is different from everyone, he is unmoved, like a beautiful statue.

    But his eyes were like torches, staring at Amy's.

    He was sure that Amy's micro-expression had changed a little bit just now, it was not obvious, but it was mixed in with her amorous feelings, which was especially abrupt in An Wu Jiu's eyes.

    What exactly does she want to do.

    "Your hair is so beautiful." Amy smiled, her right hand gently stroked the side of An Wu Jiao's face, and then stroked back to the back of his neck, groping through the bundled strands of hair.

    "Eh? What's this..." Her tone was pretending to be serious, and she retracted her hand while speaking, holding a card between her thin white index finger and middle finger, the card was sideways, and the suit was face down.

    "The cards are dealt."

    The dealer places the last remaining three cards in the middle of the table and looks up.

    Amy, who was leaning against the table, also got up at the right time, smiled, and shook her wrist gently.

    The card flew out and fell into An Wu Jiu's arms.

    She was so skilled that even if she threw it out like this, the suit side of the card was still facing down.

    "Don't worry, this will be returned to you."

    After finishing speaking, Amy moved away from the edge of the table, took a few steps, returned to An Wujiu's right hand, raised her left leg and placed it on top of her right, and leaned back on the velvet chair with her legs crossed.

    An Wu Jiu looked at the left hand that had been pressing on the table under the fur that was scattered.

    As he expected, a card was stuck in the arc of her palm.

    Amy also turned her head and winked her left eye at him playfully, "Thank you handsome for your cooperation."

    An Wujiu had a hunch.

    According to the game he laid before, he speculated that if Zhou Yijue really wanted to arrange the three of them into a team, it would be unexpected that Amy and Maguire would become the royal group.

    Therefore, after Zhou Yijue confirmed that he accepted the proposal of becoming a revolutionary party together, An Wujiu was sure that according to Zhou Yijue's method, Amy would definitely have an identity card on her body, but whether it was an emperor or a guard, she would not know until she ascended the throne.

    The most taboo thing at the poker table, despite the constant deductions in your head, is showing your emotions.

    So An Wu Jiu remained calm, as if he didn't find anything, put the card that Amy found between his hair back to the far right side of his upside-down card fan.

    The heartbeat kept accelerating.

    If he didn't guess wrong, he could omit the tricks he thought up in advance. It just so happened that he was not an old hand who was used to making thousands of dollars, and it was easy to make mistakes by doing it himself.

    While thinking, An Wujiu picked up the card fan again and checked the suit.

    Just as he expected, Amy really changed a card, which was his 2 of spades.

    And what Amyce gave him was the little king with the sun totem painted on it—the guard card.

    From this moment on, An Wujiu's camp was irreversibly reversed!

    Although it was what he hoped, it was only one step ahead, by the hands of others, and it was completed beyond his expectations.

    But this is beyond An Wu's expectations, so he tries to guess Amy's motives.

    Why give him the guard card?

    Did she discover their deal with Zhou Yijue?

    Or, she found out who was the emperor and didn't want to be with the emperor.

    An Wu Jiu thought, his fingers moved on the table and tapped lightly.

    None of these reasons are sufficient.

    From the perspective alone, the guard card is the most sober and best card to play in the audience, because the emperor he needs to protect is a clear card, excluding himself, it is clear at a glance who is a revolutionary.

    This can't be related to Zhou Yijue, can it?

    An Wu Jiu looked at Zhou Yijue, who was diagonally opposite, and looked at him.

    All this was seen by Maguire.

    Maguire was not able to capture Amy's skillful change of cards, but he has been in the casino for so many years, and his intuition is very sensitive. more suspicious.

    Because just fifteen minutes ago, he finished a game of Russian roulette and was about to go to the royal table. On the way, he heard a few people in the orange group whispering, and he heard only a few words. It was about "There is a problem with the emperor's card." .", "They drew the emperor card and lost."

    He lit a cigarette and walked towards the place where there were few people. He wanted to smoke a cigarette to slow down the tension in the gambling game. He didn't expect that next to the marble pillar not far away, the two green team members were also talking. Things on the "Royalty" table.

    Maguire moved closer to them, and with each step, their voices became real.

    "It's true, I also think there is something wrong with that emperor card."

    "Could it be from the altar?"

    "I don't know, God bless, don't let me draw the emperor card next time."

    The man who was speaking glanced at him and happened to see Maguire walking over, and immediately patted the arm of his teammate and left in a hurry.

    The backs of the two are still whispering, and Maguire is full of doubts.

    Emperor card...

    The dealer spoke again, pulling Maguire's thoughts out of his memory.

    "Please publicize the identity card of the player holding the emperor card."

    An Wu Jiu was expressionless, staring at the people on the table, 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, turn it over, and face the crowd.

    The card in his hand is the king who has drawn the sun mark.

    Maguire's face was heavy and he didn't say a word, he held the corner of the Emperor's card and stared at An Wujiu.

    An Wu Jiu wanted to look relaxed, so he tapped his fingers on the table indifferently, and looked at Zhou Yijue inadvertently.

    Zhou Yijue raised her eyebrows slightly, her phoenix eyes were long and narrow, and she followed up slightly.

    This scene was also seen by Maguire.

    Why do you keep tapping your fingers?

    Is it sending a message?

    He bowed his head and tightly grasped the Emperor's card in his hand. The doubts in his heart became stronger and stronger, like a thick fog trying to obstruct his vision.

    He thought of Zhou Yijue's cheating for him before.

    Since such a person can do such a thing, he must be able to do it a second time.

    No, you can't.

    Don't even think about doing shit in front of him!

    "Player Maguire." The dealer reminded him, "Do you choose to ascend the throne or give way?"

    He thought, An Wujiu and Zhou Yijue must be allied, and Shen Ti, yes, they are in the same group.

    No, he can't simply trap himself in this game, fall into their trap, and be the dead emperor.

    "I give way."

    Maguire's chest wobbled, decisively placed the Emperor's card on the table, and moved forward.

    Zhou Yijue frowned.

    Why is this!

    This move disrupted his plan, which had already been arranged. Once the Emperor's faction won, he would get more chips. According to Maguire's personality, he would definitely keep it.

    why.

    An Wu Jiu was a little relieved.

    He turned to look at Maguire's next home, Shen Ti.

    Shen Ti rested his cheek with his left hand, as if he was about to fall asleep, but he felt An Wujiu was looking at him very keenly, so he also turned his face and smiled at him.

    "You know how to look at me."

    An Wu Jiu felt a little embarrassed and pursed his lips.

    He could even make up the second half of Shen Ti's unfinished sentences in his mind.

    [I thought you had forgotten me. ]

    Shen Ti didn't finish speaking in the end, because the dealer had already asked him questions.

    "You are the next home of player Maguire, do you accept this emperor card and ascend the throne?"

    Shen Ti leaned back on the chair, slanted, and raised his eyelids lazily.

    "To or not to?"

    He sat on the chair and stretched a lot, then looked at An Wujiu and grabbed one of his hands.

    "You play rock-paper-scissors with me."

    An Wu Jiu is a little inexplicable, but he is still used to him and raises his hand.

    "rock-paper-scissors."

    Shen Ti and An Wu Jiu were in a good mood, and they both came out of a stone.

    Unexpectedly, it was a draw, An Wujiu thought that he would do it again, but Shen Ti said directly, "Okay, I want it."

    An Wu Jiu thought to himself, forget it, just get used to it.

    "Okay." The dealer gave the emperor card to Shen Ti, along with the remaining three cards, "Player Shen Ti ascends the throne."

    After doing all this, the croupier straightened up and looked at the five people on the table, "Now, please put up your chips. The chips in the royal game must be the same for everyone. Please discuss a chip number."

    Soon, a thirty-second countdown appeared on the table.

    Shen Ti smiled and looked at Zhou Yijue with his left hand on his cheek, "Hey, squinting."

    "I don't think the double chips you mentioned are 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.

    "is it okay?"

    The author has something to say:

    Shen Ti: Damn, go around, my wife is still in the same camp with me, it's still us, there is no light bulb, you are not angry with squinting~

    This royal poker may be played differently in different places. Anyway, it originated in Shandong. I may have simplified it a little bit. Let’s watch it!
