    The theft of the pocket watch did not affect Wang Weiyi's mood.

    What he needs is a layer of protective color. Now that he recognizes Farouk I, what does it matter if he is missing a pocket watch?  Even Wang Weiyi, the Maserati sports car, has already given it away.

    At the dinner, Wang Weiyi met Queen Farida, the wife of Faruk I.

    When he saw this queen who was born in a noble family, these words immediately came to Wang Weiyi¡¯s mind:

    Cleopatra.

    Yes, Cleopatra!

    No matter in any aspect, appearance or figure, Farida looks like a famous figure in history, but no one knows what kind of Cleopatra she looks like.

    Although no one knows what Cleopatra looks like, this is the first impression Farida gives people

    But Farouk I didn¡¯t seem to notice that his wife was the most knowledgeable person at the banquet, as if the king had no relationship with his wife.

    He showed off his knowledge to his ministers and guests, what he had seen and heard in Britain, and boasted about the number of sexual relationships he had in Britain.

    The ministers all felt embarrassed, but Queen Farida seemed to have become accustomed to her husband's attitude. She just lowered her head and tasted the food silently. Occasionally she would raise her head, but she would always find the British man.  "Baron Andrew" stared at him there, blushed, and quickly lowered his head, but after a while, he still couldn't help but raise his head.

    This damn baron is so bold. Doesn¡¯t he know his identity?  Queen Farida thought to herself.

    But when I think about it more carefully, that baron is so young and handsome, but he is much better than the fat husband next to me. How could I have such an idea? It¡¯s really terrible.

    Farouk I was not aware of all this at all. After he finished recounting his romantic affairs, he suddenly asked: "Mr. Baron, what about you? Do you have any stories worth telling?"

    "Ah, Your Majesty, my experience is nothing compared to yours." Wang Weiyi said humbly: "I have only been to a few places, and this is my first time in Cairo. If I have to tell you a story,  , let me think about it, I have been to China, and I think maybe everyone here knows that China has a civilization as old as Egypt."

    The topic quickly started on the history aspect, but it was obvious that Farouk I was not interested in these things at all.  In his opinion, instead of talking about these ancient things, it is more interesting to discuss women.

    If the other party was not British, he would have told them to shut up long ago

    When their discussion about history finally came to a pause, King Farouk I immediately intervened: "My friends, the dinner is almost over. I think why don't we come for some entertainment? For example, playing cards.  How about it?"

    Wang Weiyi was about to refuse, but found Mr. Roliman quietly nodding towards him.  Maybe if you want to have smooth travel in Cairo, in addition to being British, you also have to be favored by the king.

    Wang Weiyi never thought that he would actually bet with the Egyptian king and ministers in the palace in Cairo.

    They play "stud", a five-card game with a maximum bet of one thousand pounds. Not everyone can afford it.

    Wang Weiyi, Roliman, and Farouk I, the two ministers all joined the game. What surprised Wang Weiyi the most was that Farida also sat at the gambling table after Egypt.

    ¡°Hell, a woman, a queen actually likes gambling?  Maybe life in the palace is too boring.

    After a few games, the winning or losing was not very big. As the game progressed, even the calm Mr. Roliman was fully involved in it, and the money on the gambling table gradually increased.

    Wang Weiyi got a hand of cards that were not very good. The hole card was a black heart 3 and the face card was a Q. He didn¡¯t care too much. He picked up a pound and threw it out: "Ten pounds."

    "Aha, Mr. Baron, it seems that your cards are not good." Farouk I sat at the gambling table, no different from any gambler: "I will give you a hundred pounds more."

    His face card is an Ace of Diamonds.

    ¡°Probably because everyone¡¯s cards were bad, no one followed, and Queen Farida was the first to fold the cards.

    Wang Weiyi didn¡¯t care about the money and followed one by one. When the last card was dealt, Wang Weiyi had a pair of queens.

    "One thousand pounds, Mr. Baron, are you interested in following me?" The face cards are a pair of 10s, an A and a King's Farooq.? said provocatively.

    "I'll follow." Wang Weiyi added a thousand pounds calmly.

    "Look, look what I have!" Faruk I suddenly became excited and showed his trump card, which was another A.

    Two pairs!

    Wang Weiyi shrugged and closed all the cards: "Your Majesty the King, you are lucky, you won."

    "Aha, Mr. Baron, with all due respect, your card skills are not very good." Faruk I received all the money in front of him with great interest.

    Wang Weiyi admitted that without Xiao Ling¡¯s help, his poker skills would indeed be terrible.

    When a new round of cards was dealt, perhaps God had arranged it. Wang Weiyi¡¯s hole card was still the black heart 3, but the face card was a red heart 3.

    A pair of 3, looks good.

    And Queen Farida seems to have a good hand, with the face card being a 9.

    The cards were followed one by one, and by this time the money in the bet was already stacked very high.

    Wang Weiyi's luck seemed to have improved, and he got a 3 and a 6 again.

    The others had already dropped out, leaving only Queen Farida with a pair of nines and a three.

    "One thousand pounds." Queen Farida silently threw out a large amount of money.

    "I'll follow." Wang Weiyi said calmly.

    This little money is nothing in his eyes, he can afford to lose.

    But Queen Farida lost a lot before. You know, Farooq I would not give some of his money to his wife. The queen's money was all royal subsidies, and she couldn't afford to lose.

    The last card was dealt, and Wang Weiyi got a 6 of diamonds!  Now, his face cards are a pair of 3s and a pair of 6s.

    Queen Farida received an Ace.

    "One thousand pounds." Queen Farida was a little excited.

    "I'll follow." Wang Weiyi still had the same unfazed expression.

    Just as she was about to open the cards, Queen Farida suddenly asked: "Mr. Baron, can you still raise the bet?"

    It seems that her trump card may be another 9. Wang Weiyi smiled lightly and said: "Queen, it's just for entertainment, don't take it so seriously."

    Queen Farida stared at the opponent and asked the same thing: "Mr. Baron, can you still raise the bet?"

    Wang Weiyi shrugged indifferently: "As you wish, Queen."

    Queen Farida took off a necklace from her neck and placed it on the gambling table: "Mr. Baron, my mother gave this to me. Is it worth ten thousand pounds?"

    Wang Weiyi took a look. A nice necklace, especially the gemstone inlaid on the pendant, is even more valuable. It is worth about fifteen thousand to twenty thousand pounds.

    "This necklace is good, definitely more than 10,000 pounds." Wang Weiyi said matter-of-factly: "I can treat it as 20,000 pounds, queen. Ah, I don't have that much cash with me. I wonder if you can take this?"

    He took out a diamond from his pocket and slowly placed it on the gambling table

    Everyone¡¯s attention was attracted by this diamond. They had never seen such a huge and perfect diamond.  Farouk I even showed a greedy expression in his eyes.  Why didn't I steal this diamond during the day?

    "Its value is far more than twenty thousand pounds." Queen Farida said in surprise.

    "It doesn't matter, just treat it as 20,000 pounds." Wang Weiyi still smiled calmly.

    Queen Farida gritted her teeth and unfolded her trump card. As expected by Wang Weiyi, there were three 9s!

    Queen Farida showed a winner's smile: "Mr. Baron, I still have a 3 here. Do you have three 3s?"

    Wang Weiyi smiled and slowly unfolded his trump card: "Queen, your luck doesn't look very good today. Fullhouse!"

    Fullhouse!

    Everyone¡¯s eyes widened!

    Three 3s, a pair of 6s¡ªfullhouse!

    Queen Farida was completely stunned. She sat there in silence without saying a word.

    God, the other party really caught fullhouse!

    Wang Weiyi felt that he was lucky today, and he made a complete comeback in the last round.  At this time, Farouk I smiled and said: "Ah ha, our queen is unlucky. Look, gentlemen, it is too late now, let them end this gamble happily."

    Wang Weiyi collected what he won and stood up. He didn¡¯t trust Farouk I¡¯s people to collect it for him. God knows what they would take away.

    Looking at FaroWhen Wang Weiyi wanted to hug him, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty the King, I don't need a second pocket watch."

    King Faruk laughed "haha": "Mr. Baron, you are really humorous. I hope to see you again soon."

    "Thank you, Your Majesty the King, I hope so too."

    When Wang Weiyi left, he took a special look at Queen Farida. He found that Queen Farida was sitting there dumbfounded without saying a word.

    Wang Weiyi is a little strange. If it¡¯s just a gemstone necklace, why would a queen care so much about it?

    But today¡¯s harvest is still good. It¡¯s not about the amount of money I won, but the fact that I successfully got close to the King of Egypt. This will be of great help to my trip to Egypt.

    Of course, I also recognized the beautiful Queen Farida of Egypt.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
