Being a tour guide for historical celebrities, the motherland is amazed again

Chapter 26: Li Yian, the Gambling Saint of the Song Dynasty

"Hey, Xiaoyu, is this your friend? Come to your rescue." The yellow-haired girl looked at Li Qingzhao and said, "You don't look very old, do you? Can you drink?"

The black-haired girl named Xiaoyu opened her eyes wide, looking at Li Qingzhao in surprise and gratitude, unable to believe that a stranger would come to stand up for her.

Su Jiahe quickly jumped off the high stool, walked over and grabbed Li Qingzhao.

"Miss Li, they are just playing games, don't bother me."

Although she is a chivalrous woman, she is only a girl in her teens after all. What if she suffers a loss?

Li Qingzhao ignored Su Jiahe and instead picked up Xiaoyu's wine glass and drank the remaining wine.

The people at the table witnessed Li Qingzhao's actions. They were stunned at first, and then they started to boo.

"This girl is so refreshing!"

"How much can a beautiful woman drink?"

"Sit down and play together."

……

Only Xiaoyu stood up and repeatedly persuaded Li Qingzhao to leave.

"Little sister, don't worry about me. I'll be leaving soon. You're too young to drink."

"Don't worry, Sister Xiaoyu. I'll be here to play for you from now on. I'll make sure you don't have to drink another glass of wine."

After hearing Li Qingzhao's words, everyone burst into laughter.

"My little beauty, you are bragging about this to the sky." A boy in black curled his lips in disdain.

"I think this girl is quite confident. How about letting us see for ourselves?"

As the yellow-haired girl spoke, she moved inward to make room for Li Qingzhao.

Seeing this, Su Jiahe quickly stood in front of Li Qingzhao.

"Miss Li, you've never played this game before. What if you lose too much and get them drunk?"

"Sister Su, don't worry. I just saw what they played. It's very simple." Li Qingzhao said in a low voice.

Seeing Li Qingzhao's confident look, Su Jiahe knew that he couldn't persuade her, so he had to let her go "to the battle" while he sat aside, always on guard against her drinking too much.

"Sister, let me tell you the rules first," said the yellow-haired girl

"There are seven dice. For example, after I roll them, I say 'three fives,' and you can continue to say 'four fives' or 'three sixes.' In short, one number must increase."

"If you don't want to add, take the dice cup away. If there are three or more fives or sixes in it, I win. If not, I lose."

"This game is called 'bragging', you know?"

"I know, let's start." Li Qingzhao was calm and composed.

"Little sister, I was confused just now. Can you really do it?" Xiaoyu asked worriedly.

Li Qingzhao nodded and gave the other person an affirmative look.

"Okay, let me roll the dice in the first round." The yellow-haired girl handed the dice cup to Li Qingzhao.

Li Qingzhao grabbed the seven dice on the table, placed them in the dice cup, and then, with a flick of her wrist, waved them rapidly in the air. The seven dice clashed back and forth against the dice cup, creating a lively rhythm.

"Oh, look at this beauty, she's an old hand." The young man was slightly surprised.

About ten seconds later, the dice cup slammed onto the table with a "bang".

"Sister, please guess first." Li Qingzhao glanced at the yellow-haired girl beside her.

Sure enough, after one circle, the boy in black was shocked.

Li Qingzhao discovered that this group of people were really "bragging", not considering probability or strategy, relying entirely on luck, and could only rely on their numbers to bully newcomers.

The drinking table games in the Song Dynasty were much more complicated than this. If I could do it easily, dealing with these people would be a piece of cake.

Sure enough, after more than ten rounds, everyone except Li Qingzhao drank several glasses of wine.

The look in Su Jiahe's eyes when he looked at Li Qingzhao gradually changed from worry to pride, as if he saw his own sister winning a fight outside.

"Sister, you are a master. We can't drink anymore. Please go." The yellow-haired girl was convinced.

“Alright, I’ll take my leave.” But just as Li Qingzhao was about to get up and leave, she was suddenly stopped by the boy in black.

"Wait, I want to compete with you again."

"Can you still drink?" The blond girl glanced at him.

"Let's not play bragging anymore, let's just play the simplest one, comparing size."

The boy knew that the "bragging" game required certain skills, and since he couldn't beat the other person, he decided to just rely on luck. Maybe he could win a few games and save face.

"Okay, I'll stay with you until the end." Li Qingzhao sat back down confidently.

But Su Jiahe on the side became worried again.

"Miss Li, forget it. It's purely a matter of luck. Are you sure you can win?"

Li Qingzhao didn't say anything, but gave Su Jiahe a look, as if to say, "Don't worry, just wait and see."

Each of them took six dice, put them in the dice cup, shook it for a while, and opened the cards at the same time.

Li Qingzhao opened three sixes, a five, a four and a two, a total of 29 points. The boy in black only opened 22 points and had to accept the penalty.

"Again! I don't believe it."

The two played against each other for several more rounds. Li Qingzhao always got several fives or sixes, while the boy in black got points randomly distributed.

"You are cheating!" the boy suddenly pointed at Li Qingzhao and said.

Hearing him say this, Su Jiahe immediately retorted.

"The dice are all on your table, how can we cheat? Be willing to accept the loss, don't cheat just because you can't win."

Li Qingzhao, however, remained calm and composed, suggesting, "Since you think I'm cheating, how about we mix the dice together and divide them again?"

"Row!"

The two men redistributed the dice, but the boy in black still lost three times in a row.

At this moment, everyone at the table, including Su Jiahe, looked at Li Qingzhao with surprise.

How come she is always so lucky? Could it be that she is possessed by the legendary European Emperor?

The boy in black touched his belly which was bulging with beer, and he was in a difficult situation.

Let's end it here. I've lost face and won't be able to hold my head up among girls anymore.

Go on, I can’t drink anymore.

After thinking it over, I decided to change my proposal.

"Beauty, you've won the comparison of size so many times, how about we compare size next?"

The boy thought that his luck might be bad today, as the numbers were all small. He thought that he might as well just bet on a small number, perhaps he would surprise the bettor with a win.

"Since you are the host, I will follow your wishes."

The two men shook the dice cup again at the same time. This time, the boy in black shook it for a long time, holding the dice cup in one hand and holding the other hand to his chest in a prayer gesture, pretending to inject divine power.

Li Qingzhao changed her technique and stopped asking for the dice randomly. Instead, she gently rotated her wrist, and only a "rustling" sound of friction came out of the dice cup.

It was time to draw the dice again. The boy took the dice cup, counted them, and smiled triumphantly.

"This time my luck has turned, it's only 13 o'clock."

The probability of 13 on six dice is already very small.

Li Qingzhao raised the corner of her mouth slightly and took away the dice cup as if nothing had happened.

"what?"

"Wow--"

"No!"

Everyone was stunned.
