In the middle of the night, Jiang Muyu was awakened by the sound of weapons clashing.

She propped herself up and sat up, opened the curtain and looked out, calling softly, "Yunyan?"

Yun Yan hurried in and said, "Don't worry, madam. It was bandits who came to attack, but they have been dealt with by the people that the prince left nearby."

Jiang Muyu frowned: "Why would bandits suddenly attack here?"

Yun Yan pursed her lips and said, "After all, it is a time of war. The surroundings only look peaceful on the surface. I think the queen has shown off her wealth in the past few days, which is why she was targeted by bandits."

Hearing this, she slapped her forehead and felt annoyed.

People, once they have money, they tend to act arrogantly. What kind of world is this? She actually bought a whole pig and invited so many people to her home for dinner. Isn't that telling everyone that she is a local rich woman? It would be strange if she didn't get targeted!

"Oh - what a bad decision." Jiang Muyu was not even sleepy at all.

She put on her clothes, and when she heard the noise outside had stopped, she opened the gate.

I happened to see two masked men in black throwing a body onto an ox cart. The ox cart was already piled with several corpses, like slaughtered pigs being loaded onto the cart. Blood was all over the ground. The scene was extremely disgusting and shocking.

The two of them were stunned when they saw her and remained silent for a moment. She came to her senses and immediately closed the door again.

Do not look at what is inappropriate. Do not look at what is inappropriate.

She muttered to herself, suppressing the churning in her stomach and returned to the bedroom.

Looking back at the scene just now, she only felt that there was still a lingering smell of blood on her body. She quickly rubbed some perfume on her body, but felt that it was not enough, so she ordered: "Yunyan, prepare water for me to bathe."

…

After finally making it to dawn, Jiang Muyu opened the door and saw that everything outside was normal. The blood on the ground had been cleaned up, without any trace left.

It was as if the scene last night was just a dream she had.

But she knew it was not a dream.

I'm afraid that such things will only happen more and more in the future.

Jiang Muyu asked Yunyan to go to the town to rent a carriage early in the morning. She planned to stay in the city for two days to avoid the limelight.

She and Yunyan dressed up before going out.

It only took half a day to get into the city. It was only afternoon when they arrived in the city. Jiang Muyu had left without eating breakfast and was very hungry, so she just found a restaurant to eat.

While eating, I suddenly heard people at the next table talking about a new casino that had opened nearby. It was under a weapons shop and was very hidden.

Her eyes lit up: "Casino!"

She has been here for such a long time but has never been to a casino. She used to go to casinos in Macau in modern times and could earn some money when she was lucky.

So I thought since I had nothing to do, I might as well go and see what the ancient casinos looked like, and maybe I could take the opportunity to make some money.

Jiang Muyu asked Yun Yan to inquire about the situation in advance. After getting the inside scoop, he was already familiar with the driving when he went there the next day.

There were not many people coming and going in the early morning. She walked into an armory and said, "What a beautiful day!"

Someone immediately came forward to lead the way.

He walked into the back hall of the shop, passed through a corridor, entered a room and came to a door. The man opened the door and heard a commotion and noise from inside. Looking inside, he saw the lights and shadows were intermittent and people were moving around.

Jiang Muyu took out a tael of silver from his sleeves to reward him, then he lifted his skirt and stepped over the threshold.

There was a wooden staircase at my feet, with only seven or eight steps, wide enough for two people to walk side by side.

She walked down slowly, looked around, and saw the man in purple sitting at a card table in the corner.

He had a well-proportioned figure, skin that was unhealthily pale, and long, narrow eyes with eyelids covering most of his pupils, giving people the illusion of being sleepy. He exuded nobility as he lazily leaned in a carved rosewood chair, supporting his head with one hand and holding a few leaf cards in the other.

Two women stood on his left and right, both of them were beauties wearing heavy makeup. One held a plate of grapes, one held wine and a cup, one fanned him, and one was responsible for making him laugh and feeding him.

It really embodies the word "dandy" to the fullest.

She had seen this person before.

Jiang Muyu calmed herself down and walked around the casino. She didn't go near that table. She placed small bets at some nearby tables and won almost every time.

Gambling is a psychological game, in which luck only accounts for 30%. Ancient gambling techniques were not that mature. She could easily understand the mysteries of it with her thinking and culture that was hundreds or thousands of years ahead of her.

Jiang Muyu had just won a game and was about to play a game of odds and evens when he was suddenly blocked by a tall, muscular man with a full beard.

She frowned and said coldly, "What's the point?"

The strong man stared at her face. She had put on makeup, but her delicate features were still hard to conceal, making her look like a pretty boy.

The strong man likes this the most. He smiled and reached out to touch her waist. Jiang Muyu dodged it, but he didn't get annoyed. He smiled and said, "I noticed you just now. You have a sharp eye and are very accurate in betting. You have made a lot in just a short time, right? Do you dare to bet with me?"

"Brother? Are you worthy?"

"You'll know if we're a good match after you take a gamble. I'll make you admit defeat with all your heart."

Jiang Muyu took a step back, Yun Yan stood in front of her, drew out her long sword and pointed it at the man's throat.

The other party was not afraid and said, "It is the casino rules that prohibit the use of force."

Seeing that the casino staff had already gathered around, her eyes flashed, and she signaled Yunyan to put away the sword and asked, "What are you betting on?"

The strong man glanced to the side and pointed at the card table and said, "Let's bet on fish, shrimp and crab."

Jiang Muyu said without hesitation: "Okay."

"Let's do something fun, without gambling."

"Oh?" She raised her eyebrows: "If not money, what to bet on?"

"If I win..." The strong man looked her up and down, with undisguised lust in his eyes, "If I win, you will stay with me for a night and let me play with you."

Jiang Muyu snorted coldly, looked him up and down, and said, "What if you lose?"

"It's up to you."

"Deal!" She curled her lips and said slowly, "If you lose, you will be beaten up by my servants, and then you will be stripped naked and paraded through the streets for two hours with a sign saying "I am an idiot" on it. How about that?"

"You..." The strong man pointed at her angrily.

Jiang Muyu crossed his arms and sneered, "Why? You don't dare? Are you afraid of losing and making a fool of yourself in front of everyone?"

"Why wouldn't I dare? How could I be afraid of a weak scholar like you?"

Having said that, the strong man took the lead and walked towards the card table.

The commotion here had already attracted the attention of people around. Most of the people playing in the casino were playboys, and everyone was always happy to see some noise.

The purple-robed man was no exception. He put down the cards in his hand and looked over. He picked up a grape and put it in his mouth. He narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Interesting."

Jiang Muyu also walked to the card table and stood opposite Zhuanghan.

The dealer at the head of the card table put the dice into the dice cup after showing it to the public, shook it vigorously a few times, then put it on the table and said: "Please place your bets."

Jiang Muyu seemed to think for a moment, then smiled and said to Zhuang Han, "How about you go first?"

Zhuang Han smiled evilly and said, "It doesn't matter whether you place your bet early or late. Are you going to imitate me in placing my bet?"

She shook her head. "I promise it's different from yours."

"Oh, that's what you said." The strong man took out ten taels of silver and put them on the table, saying, "I bet on three colors!"

Everyone sighed!

In Fish, Prawn and Crab Sic Bo, the six sides of the dice correspond to six different patterns and three colors. "Three colors" means that the three dice drawn by the dealer have the same color, which is considered rare.

If the strong man bets correctly, he can get twenty times the loss, that is, ten taels of silver can be turned into two hundred taels of silver.

"Since you bet 10 taels, I'll also bet 10 taels for the sake of fairness." Jiang Muyu smiled faintly, put the silver on the card table, and said slowly: "I bet on the dice, red."

Everyone was shocked! There was a lot of discussion.

If three colors are hard to come by, surrounding dice is even harder to come by. To get the dice to have the same pattern is something you may not be able to do even if you shake them a hundred times.

And she actually bet on a designated dice, which means that the three dice that come out must be of the same pattern and color, which is simply impossible!

If she bets correctly this time, the money can be multiplied 150 times!
