Ming Dynasty: I am truly not the Emperor of Longevity

"Pay back money! Pay back money!"

"That's a leopard! Who's ever seen anyone bet on a leopard before!"

After a moment of silence, the surrounding gamblers began to murmur.

"Your gambling den is open for business, can't you afford to lose money?!"

However, unlike the previous two hands, the dealer opposite Ma San Kui stood motionless, showing no intention of paying out any money.

In a Sic Bo game, betting on a triple (three of a kind) yields odds of 150 to 1!

Ma San Kui bet five taels of silver, and the gambling house had to pay out as much as seven hundred and fifty taels!

The combined total of all the money at this gambling table, from the house to the gamblers, doesn't even amount to this much.

Soon, cold sweat began to trickle down the dealer's face.

This person won three consecutive high-odds Sic Bo games. Who would believe that no one cheated?!

If the dealer hadn't shaken the dice cup himself, he wouldn't have believed it either!

The burly man opposite him was clearly a trained fighter; he had no chance of cheating at all, he couldn't even touch the dice cup!

Therefore, the only person who can cheat is oneself.

In the eyes of the gambling den owner, he was probably already seen as a traitor who colluded with outsiders to cheat.

Honestly, I don't know this person at all!

Today is just too weird!

Although that young master only bet on big or small, he was able to guess correctly eight or nine out of ten times. Even though each bet was small, he still won more than a hundred taels of silver after dozens of rounds.

The gamblers around them who followed suit and placed bets also won around a hundred taels of silver.

Although I had hidden a set of mercury-filled dice in the secret compartment, I clearly didn't use them today!

Moreover, even if I use tricks, it's to win money. How could I possibly cheat for the other party?

The gambling den owner might be suspicious of the two hundred taels of silver, but he wouldn't necessarily conclude that he was colluding with outsiders.

The young man seemed to know the gambling den's bottom line, and realizing he had won too much, he worried about how things would end.

After his companion, the burly man in front of him, reminded him, he was asked to take over and play a few rounds.

The dealer had initially breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the other party change players.

Since it wasn't cheating, then that young master's luck must have been exceptionally good.

With a new person in charge, it's time for their luck to change.

As long as I can win back some of it, even if it's just a few dozen taels, I'll consider this hurdle over.

As for whether the casino owner would send someone to cause trouble for the two men after they left, that was none of his business.

The burly man who came on as a substitute no longer bet on over 40% of the odds, but on numbers with pitifully low odds!

I initially thought that the other party was deliberately giving the gambling den a way out, and also giving himself a way out, by voluntarily losing back some of the money he had just won.

Unexpectedly, something even stranger happened.

The opponent bet on 16 points in the first round, and I actually got 16 points!

One time is one thing, you can explain it as luck.

But in the second round, the opponent bet on 14 points again, and 14 points came out.

In the third round, this guy directly bet on the highest odds, the leopard, and three sixes!

I actually got three sixes myself!

Isn't this like seeing a ghost?

Seven hundred and fifty taels!

He didn't have that much money at his own gambling table.

No matter how this matter ends, I'm finished!

. . .

"You traitor!"

The casino owner kicked the dealer hard in the stomach.

"How dare they collude with outsiders to cheat in their own gambling den!"

After saying that, the gambling den owner quickly picked up the three dice with six points facing up from the dice cup, weighed them in his hand, and then slammed them hard onto the gambling table.

This person also had some skill; the dice were smashed to pieces.

"Mercury! There's mercury in these dice!"

A sharp-eyed gambler shouted.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on the gambling table.

From the three shattered dice, a silvery liquid flowed out!

Without a doubt, these are three dice filled with mercury, used for cheating!

"Hmph, daring to cheat in my Yan Jingang's gambling den, you must have a death wish!"

After the casino owner finished speaking, he slapped the dealer hard across the face.

"Let's stall for now. I'll deal with his two accomplices first, then we'll teach him a lesson!"

. . .

After three sixes were drawn, just two or three minutes later, the casino owner surrounded them with seven or eight thugs.

However, to Lu Chen's surprise, the gambling den owner did not directly attack Ma San Kui and himself, but instead waved for his men to subdue the pale-faced croupier.

Then that's what happened.

Lu Chen, who had been secretly using his telekinesis to sense the other party's movements, discovered that the gambling den owner had secretly used some tricks after taking the three dice from the dice cup.

With lightning speed, the three dice were swapped.

In other words, the dice that the casino owner smashed on the gambling table were not the original three!

This guy has some tricks up his sleeve.

Knowing that it's difficult to find evidence of cheating in a Sic Bo game, they decided to strike at the root of the problem!

Regardless of whether the dealer colluded with outsiders to cheat, let's pin this accusation on him first.

In this way, when the gambling den resorted to force against Ma San Kui and himself, no one could say anything against it.

"Brother Ma, our luck is so good today, it's a pity this gambling den isn't on our side!"

Lu Chen glanced at the thugs from the gambling den who had surrounded him, then smiled at Ma San Kui, who was on high alert.

"It seems we'll have to settle this with our own hands."

With Brother Ma's skills, dealing with these people shouldn't be too difficult for him.

"snort!"

Ma San Kui snorted coldly, not turning to look at Lu Chen, but instead pulling a short dagger from his boot, holding it horizontally in front of his chest, and staring at the gambling den owner.

With a fierce battle looming ahead, he no longer had the mind to pay attention to what Lu Chen was saying.

"Whether we two are colluding with this dealer or not, I'm sure you know perfectly well, so there's no need to say more."

I admit defeat today. As long as we leave, all this silver will naturally be left behind.

If he really wanted to fight to the death, Mr. Ma was confident he could drag a few others down with him!

Just then, a thug from the gambling den who was closest to Ma San Kui, perhaps due to nervousness, suddenly stumbled and lunged at Ma San Kui.

Ma San Kui, who was already on high alert, did not hesitate at all. With a flick of his wrist, he plunged the dagger into the other man's throat.

As the dagger was pulled out, blood gushed from the thug's neck, and he collapsed to the ground, clutching his wound.

Once blood is shed and people die, negotiation is naturally out of the question!

A chaotic battle has begun!

. . .

As soon as the battle began, Sun Dexiu, like the other gamblers, quickly fled the area where the two sides were fighting.

However, unlike most gamblers who fled the gambling den, he quietly walked from the outside to Lu Chen's back.

Although he hadn't figured out Lu Chen's true identity yet, he couldn't just watch a member of the royal family get into danger.

If Lu Chen is truly in danger, I will have no choice but to take action, regardless of whether I am hiding or not.

Even if Eunuch Huang finds out in the future, he won't blame me.

However, something unexpected happened to Sun Dexiu!

The burly man next to Lu Chen, who claimed to be surnamed Ma, was surprisingly skilled!

In such a short time, five gambling den thugs had already died by his dagger!

Was my judgment just now wrong?

Is this person really not a top-tier imperial bodyguard who is closely protecting Lu Chen?
