Chapter 100: Cocoon
"I just removed the iron plate, right?"
When asked these words to the old croupier, the corners of Lu Ping's mouth were filled with a sly smile.
Afterwards, he glanced at Tao Shiqian who cast his sights, but quickly turned his head back.
"Uh...oh! Yes, take it away."
What made Tao Shiqian almost vomiting blood was that the old croupier nodded slightly after a daze, confirming Lu Ping'an's statement.
In an instant, Tao Shiqian was struck by lightning.
How could this happen, how did the other party know that there is a steel plate hidden in the shackles?
Why would my old subordinate for many years help an outsider and betray him?
Tao Shiqian's mind was suddenly filled with countless questions, and he could no longer remain calm.
You know, although he is the son of the Patriarch of the Baishi clan, his cultivation is only the sixth layer of the martial art realm.
In the absence of a partition metal plate, once the axe falls, he must break free from the shackles immediately, without hesitation in the slightest, otherwise his life will be in danger.
"Damn it! You **** old thing..."
Tao Shiqian stared bitterly at the old croupier standing in front of Lu Ping'an, wishing to cramp him.
At this time, the gambling game had begun, and dozens of senior guests from the Golden Goutai were onlookers, and they could not stop it.
If a call is made, it is equivalent to admitting that Tao has a problem.
According to the conventions and regulations of gambling shops, in this case, the person who is sentenced to lose will be himself.
Riding a tiger, Tao Shiqian finally realized the meaning of these four words firsthand at this moment.
Creak!
Hearing the sound of the golden silk rope being cut, Tao Shiqian suddenly felt excited, confirming that the giant axe had not fallen, and then dropped his shoulders relaxedly, completely different from what he had just now.
"Miss Jiang, it's your turn."
On the other side, Lu Pingan, who had just cut the fifth gold wire rope, winked towards Jiang Yuebai.
Jiang Yuebai had also heard the conversation between Lu Pingan and the old dealer just now, and noticed Lu Pingan's wink, she subconsciously moved her eyes away, just to see Tao Shiqian's ugly face and panting.
The intelligent Jiang Yuebai thought a little, and soon guessed Tao Shiqian's tricks.
Although there are still many questions in her heart at this time, she still cooperated with Lu Ping, and while cutting the gold wire rope, she smiled triumphantly and said, "Hey, how about a bet between the two of us? If I were the first, you The treasure you choose belongs to me. If you win, you can also take my blood dragon pill."
"Hey, I can't compare, I just want my share."
...
"Master Tao Shi, you take it."
Seeing Lu Pingan and Jiang Yuebai talking and laughing, the old dealer's heart was puzzled, but he didn't notice Tao Shiqian's eyes staring at him.
In fact, the conversation he had just spoken with Lu Ping'an was completely unconscious, and there was no memory at all.
"Fortunately, the state of this old thing is not high, otherwise the current situation will not be achieved."
Lu Pingan, who was secretly observing on the side, thought to himself.
It turned out that the reason why the old croupier cooperated with him just now was because of the slight illusion technique applied by the Gu Mei pupils.
As for the metal plate hidden in the shackles above, he also discovered it by accident.
When he saw the hanging axe at that time, Lu Pingan planned to use the magnetic force generated by the magnetic field constructed by Tian Lei Suo to delay the tendency of the axe to fall.
So when he watched the inspection in front of the guillotine, he quietly condensed several small thunder-attribute aura rings in his palm, intending to test whether the axe contains iron.
As a result, he was hitting straight, and he actually felt the magnetic force in the shackle plate under the guillotine.
The presence of magnetism means the presence of iron, and a metal structure with a blocking effect is embedded above the shackles. Isn't it the original intention of the guillotine?
At the beginning, Lu Pingan was still a little confused.
But after Tao Shiqian introduced the rules, he guessed the opponent's conspiracy and quickly conceived the strategy in his mind.
At this moment, everything is proceeding according to his plan.
"Oh, good luck with the shopkeeper, this is more than one third, right?"
Seeing Tao Shiqian cut the seventh golden wire rope, the axe still did not fall, Lu Ping'an deliberately booed aside.
Right now, the roles of several people in the gambling game were completely exchanged, and Lu Ping'an, who was in the away game, became the one who put psychological pressure on the other side.
Although Tao Shiqian had exhausted all his organs, he eventually became a cocoon.
In this way, as the gambling proceeded, there were only eight golden ropes left on the court.
The right to cut the rope came to Tao Shiqian again.
"Master Tao Shi, don't be nervous, isn't there that one here."
Seeing Tao Shiqian's ugly expression, the unknowing old dealer was surprised and puzzled. He thought that the latter had forgotten that there were mechanisms in the shackles, so he whispered to remind him while he was passing the knife.
"Ok?"
Hearing this, Tao Shiqian couldn't help but was stunned, and asked what was going on. Is this guy trying to kill himself?
and many more! Could it be that a certain brother of yours secretly planned all this?
who is it? Who is going to replace his family position...
If one imagines it suspiciously, it is endless.
For a while, Tao Shiqian's heart touched his throat, he wished to stop the gambling immediately and summon a guard to protect himself.
After thinking about it, the cutter in Tao Shiqian's hand cut the thirteenth golden wire rope.
This time, he was impartial and chose the one hanging the axe.
call!
Losing the fixation of the rope, the heavy axe fell straight down, whizzing into the wind, and frightening.
"Ah! Be careful!"
Lu Pingan seized the opportunity and shouted loudly, shaking his wrists at the same time, causing the chains connected to the shackles to collide and break free.
On the other side, Tao Shiqian was wandering outside the sky, speculating and analyzing the man behind the scenes that set the scene to harm him.
When Lu Pingan called out, he suddenly recovered, in a panic, subconsciously broke the shackles and retreated.
Huh!
In a panic, Tao Shiqian's feet were unstable, and he sat down on the ground with a "plop".
At the same time, the axe fell heavily on the upper end of the shackles. After breaking the wooden structure, it was blocked by the metal plate.
"Oh my God! Doesn't this mean the Tao Shi shopkeeper loses?"
"Um...according to the rules, it seems so."
"Strange, how did that axe get stuck?"
...
The gamblers who watched the excitement saw it, whispered one after another, and had a lively discussion.
The treasurer of Golden Hook Table was defeated in the gambling, which is absolutely shocking news.
In the middle of the hall, I was stunned for a long time before Tao Shiqian realized that he had been tricked.
He rushed to the old croupier, grabbed the latter's little hair, and asked hysterically: "This...what the **** is going on?!"
If it hadn't been for the old croupier to respond to Lu Ping's words, the current situation would never have happened.
"Master Tao Shi, the old servant reminded you just now! Besides, the iron plate hidden in the shackles was not designed by you?"
The old croupier was so frustrated that he wanted to cry without tears.
"Hey, Tao Shiqian, you don't have a good brain, so don't rely on others there."
At this time, Lu Ping'an, who was still in the shackles, interrupted impatiently, "Little master's neck is sore, hurry up and announce the result."
"This……"
Upon hearing this, Tao Shiqian suddenly showed a dead family expression.
To be precise, his mood at this time was even worse than the actual death of his family.
Although the loss of losing two treasures is not a big deal for Golden Hook Terrace.
But his unbeaten gambling golden body was broken, which will have a huge impact on his reputation in the family.
And what is even more unacceptable is that the person who defeated himself taunted himself before.
This is simply a shame.
"Take them to get things."
After a moment of tangling, Tao Shiqian loosened the old dealer's hair, his voice weak.
There is no way. As the saying goes, he is willing to gamble and accept defeat. If he refuses to admit his failure, he will only fall behind, which will have a negative impact on the business of Jin Goutai.
"Hehe, thank you so much."
Lu Pingan laughed softly, and after breaking the locks, and Jiang Yuebai, who had won together, went downstairs with the old croupier.
"Hey, brother Xian, how did you see it?"
Tian He, who could hardly believe what was happening in front of him, chased after them and asked excitedly...
In this way, Jiang Yuebai and Lu Ping'an took the ten blood dragon pills they needed and a hundred high-grade spiritual stones of the mysterious stage in the treasure house of Jingoutai.
The whole process went smoothly, and the people at Jingoutai did not make things difficult.
After taking the things, the three of them stopped staying and left the Golden Hook Terrace immediately...
In the lobby on the top floor, the gamblers watching the excitement have already left. Tao Shiqian moved a wooden chair and sat in a daze in front of the guillotine. A group of subordinates gathered around, not daring to speak.
At this time, Tao Shiqian's younger brother Tao Shihe came to report from the clan.
Hearing the news of Tao Shiqian's defeat, he immediately went to the top floor. After asking the whole story from the former's mouth, he immediately ordered the old croupier to take the bad things into custody.
"Brother, the guest has already arrived, let's deal with this guy later."
Tao Shihe solemnly asked for instructions.
"Well, I got it."
Tao Shiqian took a deep breath, forcibly cheered up, raised his head and asked, "Which one from the Jiang family is here?"
"It's the third elder Jiang Hongtao, he seems to have been seriously injured."
Tao Shihe replied.
