Bird Soul: Unparalleled National Warriors at the Beginning.

Chapter 684 Solo Mahjong, Harada VS Nan Yan
Originally, Nan Yan was slightly relieved when he heard Sengwo agree to allow him to take the Guanxi Saint away.

The Saint is vital to the Chiba Group today. Even though Kansai is powerful and crushes Kanto, this is also because of the strength of the company, not the Chiba Group.

In order to maintain their reputation as an old Kansai giant, they must take the initiative to seek change.

If this is not done, the vast Guanxi will be handed over to others.

That's why they pinned the future of the group on the saint.

You have to know that Sengwo is now terminally ill, and he knows that he doesn't have much time left, and may only live a little longer than the blind Ichikawa.

After his death, Harada was left alone. If there was no one to succeed him and there were powerful enemies all around, he would be in real trouble.

Therefore.

The Saint is absolutely the key to the group's prosperity.

Nan Yan was also aware of this. He had actually made up his mind that Sengwu would not give in, so the only thing left for him to do next was to rely on the company to put pressure on the group.

But this was not what he wanted. After all, if he did so, even if he rescued the saint, the two families would become complete enemies.

When he heard that Nan Yan was going to take her away, Gong Yongzhao's eyes showed a strange look, but his expression remained unchanged. He just sat there alone like a puppet.

Although she was amazed at Nan Yan's skills, she was quite shocked that a high school student could force one of the underworld bosses to release someone.

But these days, based on her understanding of these two underworld giants.

Things won't be that simple.

as predicted.

"I won't agree!"

Katsumi Harada's roar resounded throughout the venue.

There is no doubt that if this game continues, Nan Yan will definitely fight one against four and knock all the people in Guanxi out. Yu Wushuang's powerful ability to manage points will be fully displayed under this rule.

For other people in Guandong, they don't need to attack at all. They just need to defend with all their strength and wait for Nan Yan's sharp blade to show its power, and then they can win.

Of course he knew he would lose if he continued.

But he would never accept such a humiliating defeat.

"Senior Harada, the Third Master has already agreed to release me, and I have also promised that if I lose to the demon Akagi, I will naturally work for the group. Why are you doing this?"

Nan Yan looked directly at Harada, his aura not inferior to his.

Facing this powerful man in the underworld, who was at the top of the social ladder just one step away from becoming a god or a ghost, Nan Yan knew that he must not retreat even a single step just because of the other party's strong aura.

"Nan Mengyan, this group is not controlled by the Third Master alone."

There was a flash of madness in Katsumi Harada's eyes, and the powerful and domineering murderous aura of the leader of Kansai suddenly erupted at this moment. He looked down on everything with the attitude of a superior.

"You have repeatedly resisted Third Master's kindness, which is really outrageous. I will never let you go today, even if Third Master agrees.

If you didn't have the company behind you and held the same power as me, you wouldn't even be qualified to be on an equal footing with me.

But I can give you a chance to fight me one-on-one, a fair 1v1 contest, and I will set the rules.

If you win, not only will you win the battle for Kanto, you can also take the Saint away. In addition, I, Harada, will become your sworn brother from now on and will never embarrass you again.

But if you lose, then let it be known to the world that the CEO of the company will become a dog of my group from now on!"

The Third Master loved talent too much and was too humble. Even when he got old, he was extremely good to his juniors.

If you are too easy to talk to, some small people will think you are easy to bully.

But he is not Harada.

No matter what, he would not let Nan Yan leave easily this time.

"This……"

Upon hearing this, Jingchuan was the first to disagree, "It's said to be a fair one-on-one contest, but the rules are set by them. If Senior Nan Yan doesn't know the rules, won't he be led by the nose? This is actually unfair!"

And the consequences are too terrible. Once Nan Yan loses, he will have to work like a slave for the group and cannot resist!

"Huh, actually there's nothing wrong with using Harada's rules. If we follow the current rules, no one except Akagi can defeat Nan Yan. Yu Wushuang is too powerful under these rules. Only a fool would fight with Yu Wushuang in Qingtianjing."

Tian analyzed calmly.

He was not here to be a reasonable person, but to tell Igawa not to make a fuss: "For such an important game of mahjong, if the rules are not absolutely fair, even if Harada wins, he will be despised by the world, so the rules should at least be fair on the surface and not deliberately make things difficult for Nan Yan.

Moreover, for mahjong of this level, we will also act as notaries, so Guanxi and his men dare not do anything secretly.

Of course, this is a serious matter, so to be on the safe side we should listen to the rules before making a decision.”

"It doesn't matter."

Harada waved his hand and announced that they would fight again tomorrow.

On the next day, Kanto and Kansai arrived at the appointment. Harada changed the venue, asked his men to set up the props, and also invited some elders from both the black and white families to witness this unprecedented duel.

The notary from the Shichigosanki family began reading out the rules.

There are two stages in a one-on-one Mahjong match:

Phase A: It is the same as ordinary mahjong. You can eat, touch and open gangs. However, after you make a declaration after hearing the cards and inform the other party, you will immediately enter Phase B.

Phase B: This is the biggest change and the essence of single-player mahjong. The person who is not waiting for a card needs to announce what card the other party has. There are two chances. If he guesses the opponent's card correctly the first time, a full slam point will be deducted. If he guesses correctly the second time, it will be considered a lost game.

This means that you must listen to your cards discreetly enough, otherwise the opponent will guess them at once and directly deduct the grand slam.

If the player fails to guess correctly twice, the player who is waiting for the card can draw five cards in a row.

If none of the five cards are successfully drawn, the process of guessing cards will be repeated, and the cycle will continue.

However, if the first card is guessed correctly during the repeated guessing process, no grand slam points will be deducted.

There is also a special rule:
If the party who is waiting for a card succeeds in self-drawing, but the hand is of low order, he can choose to turn the cards upside down and play them out if he fails to win, and continue to pursue a higher order.

However, it is not allowed to vibrate a draw when a draw is announced.

In other words, the river must be a sure win.

Otherwise, if you are waiting for a card, then the river card has no reference value. You can wait for any card and there is no strategy at all.

Of course, if you draw a hand while switching to another hand, you cannot throw away the cards in your hand.

Therefore, the only way to win the game under this rule is to draw five cards in a row.

The time limit is two hours.

When the alarm countdown ends, the next round is ALL last!

The side with the higher score at the end of the last round wins.

"There is no problem with the rules. It seems the group still has to save face."

Jingchuan looked delighted when he heard the rules.

As long as the rules are fair, he believes that Senior Nan Yan will never lose!

However, Tian couldn't help but frown.

This rule is indeed fair, but it is a bit too fair.

It doesn't fit Harada's character at all.

"It's not that simple!"

Harada sneered, "After the last round, Kanto has the points advantage. Even if you win the East-West Deathmatch, I will still be friends with Nan Mengyan, and we will be a family from now on.

but--"

Harada's words sounded like a loud bell, falling heavily.

"If you want to take the Saint away, then Nan Yan must win the points of the dealer's Nine Lotus Treasure Lantern."

Upon hearing this, Jingchuan's face suddenly changed.

The dealer’s Nine Lotus Lantern, isn’t this 48000 points?

It is not easy to get such a high score under the rules that you are not familiar with.

"If in your heart, the Saint is not worthy of a banker's Nine Lotus Treasure Lantern, then I have nothing to say."

Harada Katsumi looked at Nan Yan and roared like a lion: "Nan Mengyan, do you dare to accept it?"

"Interesting rules." Nan Yan nodded with a smile, "I accept it."

In fact, Harada didn't make it too difficult for him, and there was actually some room for maneuver.

As long as he defeats Harada, even if Kanto wins, and the company and the group make peace, he and Harada will become sworn brothers.

Even if the saint is not rescued now, relying on this brotherly relationship, after some negotiations and giving up some benefits, the saint can still be taken away.

These 48000 points can be achieved or not.

The important thing is to defeat Harada.

But for Nan Yan, it would be better to solve the problem in one go.

"Come on, Nan Yan."

Katsumi Harada's eyes were filled with fighting spirit. "After competing with a master of your level, perhaps at some point we can both comprehend the mysteries of ghosts and gods."

Although this game of cards is indeed intended to suppress Nan Yan and prevent him from taking the Saint away, at the same time, the all-out battle between top masters is expected to reveal a glimpse into the mysteries of ghosts and gods.

If he can step into the realm of ghosts and gods, then the saint is indeed not that important.

In the first game, Nan Yan was the banker and had two bamboo cards.

"In this kind of poker game, what matters is the speed of listening to the cards and the concealment of the winning hand. However, if you pursue concealment, it will be difficult to make the cards big, and big cards are very easy to be seen through."

Ikawa analyzed it using his scientific mahjong.

The purpose of concealment is to avoid being guessed at once and losing points for the grand slam.

The speed of listening to cards takes the initiative.

In other mahjong games, even if others are waiting for a card, you can still make a winning hand by using the cards in your pocket to defend in a roundabout way. The first-to-play advantage is huge, but there is still a chance.

But it’s different for two-player mahjong. Once the other player announces that he is waiting for a card, you have no choice but to guess the card.

So speed is also crucial.

But this shouldn't be a big problem for Senior Nan Yan.

Unfortunately, in this first round, it was Harada who took the initiative.

A seven-cable horizontal board announces standing at attention.

At this time, we entered the B stage, and Nan Yan was in charge of guessing the cards.

Igawa looked at Harada's river cards. He had played a pair of 10,000 or 20,000 in the early stage, and directly broke a group of pairs in a game where speed was the key to win, which showed that he had a very good hand from the beginning.

Then there are the 2249 bamboo cards.

You know, the two bamboos are treasure cards. If they were kept in the hand, the number of cards in this deck would not be small at all. However, they were cut out directly, which also shows that the number of cards in Harada's hand was sufficient.

Finally, there is the Riichi declaration card, Shichiso.

At first glance, the part that is waiting for the card is most likely to be a solitaire, but there are other possibilities.

Looking at Harada's hand that was like a mist, and the equally strange river of cards, Nan Yan also held back his cards and thought for a long time.

There were constant permutations and combinations in my mind.

In this kind of game, luck is not that important, strategy is the key.

After all, if you are guessed correctly by the first choice, you will lose the grand slam.

So avoid being picked first at all costs.

In this case, the cards around Qisuo are unlikely.

After pondering for a long time, Nan Yan chose a two-sou card and played it.

The most likely choice is still the Sozo card.

But it is definitely not between four and nine, because Harada must consider that this is his first time playing this rule and he may follow the steps and choose the most likely card with normal thinking.

So Harada must avoid this. Then Ersuo is more likely.

Seeing Nan Yan choose the card Ersuo, the monk Sanwei, who was sitting on the armchair watching the game, couldn't help but nodded.

Very good. Although this kid played this kind of game for the first time, he quickly grasped the key points.

If you choose the cards around Qisuo in your first hand, then you will definitely not hit the target.

But it's a pity.

If it was the usual Harada, these two arrows would probably have hit him directly, but Harada came here today in full condition, and he actually did not underestimate Nan Yan at all, so he treated Nan Yan with the highest standards.

Therefore, this first deck of cards is not so easy to guess.

"Why do we have to guess two for the first card?"

Ikawa was a little confused.

"Well, if it's a normal Mahjong, according to Harada's discard, it can basically be determined to be a peaceful type, so the Qisou is likely to be the last one to wait for the surrounding cards.

The reason why I listened to Ersuo is very simple.

If the cards are [134567sou] or [13334567sou], the probability of multiple sides being guessed is too high, and cutting four sou is also easy to be guessed as a low-digit strip, so seven sou will be cut to stand upright.

So Nan Yan guessed the opponent's card and chose this two-suo as the first card.

But it’s obviously not this one.”

Tian Weiwei explained.

Since it is not the two-sou, Tian guessed that the card he chose is the three-tube.

After all, it is too suspicious that Harada cut two treasure cards into two tubes, so he might have the hand pattern of [one two two two four tubes], cutting two two tubes and one four tube, thus forming a shape of partial listening to three tubes.

This shape is also quite difficult to guess.

Having failed to guess correctly the first time, Nan Yan once again fell into long thought the second time.

There is no doubt that Harada's starting hand is very good, as can be seen from the fact that he broke up a pair of 10,000 or 20,000.

Looking at the 10,000 or 20,000 that Harada Hayami cut out, Nan Yan seemed to be thinking about something.

External cutting?
Originally, Nan Yan had the same idea as Tian.

That's the three barrels.

But this time he changed his mind and sold one coin for thirty thousand.

Seeing this card, Katsumi Harada took a deep breath.

"You are indeed not an ordinary person!"

His hand was spread out.

[One, two, three, four, five, six, nine, nine, one, two, three, one, two, ten thousand]

What shocked everyone was that this deck of cards actually was waiting for thirty thousand!

"I see."

Jingchuan suddenly realized.

Judging from the feeling of the cards, Harada's deck is most likely a peaceful type. Even if it is not a peaceful type, it is a similar peaceful type of card. Whether guessing two sous or three tubes, the idea is correct.

But he never expected that Harada was even more ruthless. His deck of cards even had three colors in a row.

Even if you only listen to 30,000, it’s still hard to guess!

Especially when cutting 10,000 or 20,000 in the early rounds, it gives people the feeling that this set of cards is completely redundant, so people would never think that the game was set up from the beginning by cutting 10,000 or 20,000.

As for the two-barrel treasure cards and the seven ropes that were thrown out later, they were all traps.

It was to make Nan Yan pay more attention to these cards.

But in fact, Harada had already planned everything.

Fortunately, Nan Yan was as clear as a mirror and actually guessed the cards that Harada was waiting for.

"How on earth did you know that?"

Harada couldn't help but ask.

He had already planned for Nan Yan to choose three bamboos and then draw five cards himself.

But I didn't expect that the 30,000 yuan would be found out.

"Because your 10,000 or 20,000 is an external cut."

Nanyan Tantan explained.

"From the moment you cut out two two-tube cards, I judged that your cards should be cards with a certain number of points, otherwise you could have kept these two-tube cards in your hand as a sparrow head.

So your hand either has extra two-tube treasure cards, or red treasure cards, or hand-held cards.

According to the rules, you need to announce that you are holding a hand after you have heard it, so most of the time, as long as you can stand upright, you will definitely do it.

But what's interesting is that if you take back the two two-tube cards, your hand count will definitely be enough, and whether you have riichi or not is actually not that important. On the contrary, can I think that in order to use the two-tube to lay out your position, your hand count will drop, so you must make up for the riichi.

In this way, you can guess that the card you are waiting for is very hidden, but at the same time, in order to make up for the loss of points when cutting the treasure card, a certain hidden hand of the card you are waiting for is fixed.

Overall, it is very likely that the three colors are in the same order. After all, 10,000 or 20,000 is an external cut. If it is a concave mixed full, it must be an internal cut. "

The so-called internal cutting means cutting 20,000 first and then cutting 10,000, and the opposite is external cutting.

To deal with this kind of edge connection, it is generally more reasonable to cut inside.

The outside cut is usually done when making a full-band one or deliberately making a hand to wait for one or nine.

"You're amazing, Nan Yan. You've grasped the essence of this kind of mahjong the first time you play it. You're more than a hundred times stronger than those stupid people!"

Katsumi Harada is never stingy with his praise for the strong.

He was able to understand these unfamiliar rules instantly after just coming into contact with them. He is indeed a genius worthy of the admiration of the Third Master!
But Harada's words also made Igawa feel a little embarrassed.

After all, the "stupid person" he mentioned seemed to be referring to him.

"But even if you understand the essence, you may not be able to defeat me!"

Harada sneered.

After all, Nan Yan didn’t guess correctly on the first card, so for Harada, this round was just a streak.

In the second game that followed, Nan Yan was still the banker.

The treasure card is worth twenty thousand.

In the third round after Nan Yan knocked down the white board, he announced that he was waiting for a card.

Katsumi Harada took a look at Minamihiko's cards.

First, he cut a ten thousand, and then immediately smashed the red five-tube, six-tube, and eight-tube, and finally suddenly lost a lot of sops.

One of the two ropes was cut by hand after knocking down the white board.

Sansuo was also cut by hand.

This is the deck of cards that popped into his mind.

[Two, three, four, five, six, seven, hair, hair, middle, middle], vice dew [white, white, white]

Originally, after Nan Mengyan got the three ropes, he felt that there was hope for the big three yuan, so he cut off the two ropes and prepared to go for the big three yuan or small three yuan.

But after a few rounds, he seemed to realize that he had a set of Fortune or Red Middle in his hand, so he judged that the possibility of a big three was not high, so after drawing the two-suo, he played the three-suo.

That is to say, Nan Yan might hear the fortune or the red.

Although he had a set of reds in his hand and could not complete Nan Yan's big three, the number of small three was not small.

The direction is correct.

Harada's first card was directly taken down to make a fortune.

Nan Yan shook his head, it’s not this one.

Harada pondered for a moment.

If it's not about getting rich, there are many possibilities.

[Two, three, four, five, six, seven, hair, hair, hair], vice dew [white, white, white]

The small three yuan in the single hanging red.

Listen to the mixed color of the Suozi, or a single treasure card.

But suddenly, an inspiration came to Harada's mind.

Good boy, you actually want to take advantage of the situation!

Because there is another possibility with this deck of cards.

[Two, three, four, five, six, hair, hair, hair, middle], vice dew [white, white, white]

Even though this hand of cards is waiting for one, four, seven, and so on, the large number of waiting numbers makes it very easy to guess. However, if Nan Mengyan knew that he had a pair of red centers in his hand, he could reverse the process according to his own thinking, and either block the red centers in the second hand and completely eliminate the possibility of a small triple.

Either it is [two, three, four, five, six, seven, so, flourish, flourish], with the vice-reveal of [white, white, white] plus a single hanging card pattern, and the number is not small. In this way, Harada can easily be misled to guess the possibility of a treasure card or a single hanging and nine so.

But actually.

Nan Mengyan went straight to the next card.

After all, Harada had two red cards in his hand and knew that Nan Yan couldn't make the big three. After Harada blocked the big three, he naturally thought of the possibility that Nan Yan might bet on the small three with only one red card.

Little did he know that with Nan Yan's good luck, the third place was already in his hands.

Then Harada shot out four shots with great confidence!

Nan Yan sighed softly.

When the cards in hand were pushed open, it was [Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Hit, Hit], and the second card was [White, White, White].

Sure enough, this kind of small scam is unlikely to fool a big shot of Harada's level.

Harada couldn't help but snort coldly. This kid is going to heaven after hearing eleven of them!
For Yu Wushuang, if he draws five cards, he will definitely draw himself.

The dealer of a small three-yuan mixed color jumps to the maximum, and 18000 points are directly obtained.

This boy has a really nice idea.

If he hadn't reacted quickly, he would have almost been hit.

After the initial confrontation, both sides were still tied, neither losing nor winning.

However, according to the rules, if the dealer's cards are guessed correctly, resulting in a loss of the game, the dealer's position will change.

So in the third game, the dealer came to Katsumi Harada.

This round of treasure cards is Ba Suo.

Harada quickly knocked down the eight ropes and then went straight to the bar.

After opening the Gang, a Dongfeng card was immediately played to announce that he was waiting for the right hand. The new Gangbao card was turned over, and it turned out to be Basuo.

This is trouble.

Ikawa's palms were sweating from nervousness.

Under this rule, no matter it is an open gang or a concealed gang, a new gangbao indicator card will be turned over after the announcement of the winning hand.

As a result, Harada's hand suddenly increased in number, and it suddenly became a full eight.

And it’s the dealer position.

If the cards are tied, that would be 24000 points!
What's even worse is that there are too few cards in the Harada river, so there are too many cards to guess, and there is also the possibility of breaking the one and nine.

And the threat of uniformity cannot be ruled out.

If you add all the same suits, this deck can be even bigger!
The situation has become disadvantageous.
