So Yuan Shu had an idea and realized that his level in this pot throwing game was quite high, so he discussed it with his friend Wei Zhongdao.
That is to compete with Liu Qi in pot throwing. The bet for each game is one thousand taels of silver.
"Highway, can you?"
Liu Boyu's men are quite powerful, and the better the martial arts skills are, the more accurate they will be in shooting this thing.
In response to Wei Zhongdao's worries, Yuan Shu smiled and told the strategy. He would definitely win this time. Not only could he win back the money he lost, but he could also reverse the money.
After hearing Yuan Shu's plan, Wei Zhongdao thought of the money he had lost and clenched his fists.
"Brother Boyu, let's compete in three games. How about one thousand taels of silver per game?"
call……
Hearing that there was a pot-throwing competition, with a stake of three thousand taels of silver, it immediately attracted the attention of the people around him.
This is not a small amount, and it is Yuan Shu, a young talent from Luoyang City.
The other was a Marquis of Renyong who was bestowed upon by officials and was known as a miraculous doctor.
This is a big deal!
"Brother Qiu, if you want to play a few games, that's fine, Zilong..."
Before Liu Qi could finish his words, he was suddenly interrupted by Yuan Shu.
"Brother Boyu, it's not interesting to compete with your subordinates all the time. How about just the two of us playing?"
Yuan Shu's suggestion caused bursts of applause from nearby.
Rather than comparing martial arts, it would be more interesting to compete in the game of pot throwing.
Liu Qi looked calm on his face, looked at the people around him, then suddenly turned around and said.
"But Brother Gu, do you still have any money?"
Hahaha……
This sentence caused everyone to laugh, and the news of the martial arts competition on the training ground had already spread.
Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and Wei Zhongdao each lost one thousand taels of silver.
So Liu Qi's question amused everyone.
Yuan Shu was not embarrassed by the laughter around him, but instead pulled his friend Wei Zhongdao closer.
"Brother Boyu, don't worry about the silver. Brother Zhongdao has already agreed to lend a certain person three thousand taels of silver. This is an IOU."
Yuan Shu shook the document in his hand carelessly.
The other party was obviously prepared, and there was a hint of sarcasm on Liu Qi's lips.
"No, my lord, the pot throwing game seems simple, but it is very difficult..."
Counselor Qian Bojun saw through Yuan Shu's trick at a glance and quickly reminded Liu Qi not to fall into the opponent's trap.
You must know that the protagonist Liu Qi has been busy with all kinds of things in Fancheng. I am afraid he has not played this kind of game for a long time.
As the saying goes, hard work is better than playfulness, and Yuan Shu, the young master of the Yuan Dynasty, must often play this game of throwing pots.
Therefore, Liu Qi's losing hand was too big, and his chance of winning was too slim.
"Brother Boyu, are you scared? If you give in, you can shout in front of everyone..."
Seeing that Liu Qi was silent for a long time after hearing the counselor's words, with a gloomy expression on his face, Yuan Shu secretly suppressed his excitement.
Although Liu Qi has played pot throwing before, his skills must not be very good.
Otherwise, his men wouldn't be so anxious, and they just added fuel to the fire.
At this time, the eyes of everyone around him were focused on Liu Qi.
You must know how can a man say that he is incapable? Even if he loses, he must lose with courage.
At this time, the great scholars Zheng Xuan and Huangpu Song who were on the top floor naturally saw all this.
"The boy from the Yuan family is quite interesting, but I don't know what Marquis Renyong will choose?"
Zheng Xuan stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Disciple Wei Zhongdao is below, so naturally he is facing that way."
Huangpu Song also stroked his beard, but shook his head.
"This boy from the Yuan family is obviously too unkind to do this. He uses his own strengths to attack others' weaknesses and incites the emotions of those around him. It's the behavior of a villain..."
"Yizhen, it's wrong for you to say that. But I feel that the Yuan boy's actions are in line with the art of war..."
"Kangcheng, do you want to compete with me in martial arts?"
Although Huangpu Song was a general, he was also a great Confucian.
As soon as he said these words, Zheng Xuan was so angry that he started to tremble all over. How could he fight Huangpu Song if he didn't have the power to restrain a chicken?
Seeing that there was no result yet, a quarrel was about to start at the top, and the great scholar Cai Yong quickly broke up the fight.
The veiled woman in the private room frowned as she watched the scene happening below.
He couldn't help but secretly shake his head, obviously seeing that his sweetheart Liu Qi was not proficient in pot throwing skills.
But at this time, I was already excited about how to resolve the crisis.
He is a member of the Han clan, and he is a Marquis just given by the emperor. If he just admits defeat, it will become a joke in Luoyang City.
But if you don't admit defeat, you will lose three thousand taels of silver in vain.
That's the bigger joke. If you still try to do it even though you know it's not going to work, it's like trying to take advantage of the chariot and overestimating your own capabilities.
"Brother Boyu, it's better to just admit defeat in this pot throwing game than to lose money."
Cao Cao kindly advised him that it was not worth throwing away three thousand taels of silver just to make a temporary statement.
Yuan Shao believed that he could not lose the battle because he might still be able to win.
The two different viewpoints of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao also represent the personalities of the two people.
Liu Qi was thinking secretly in his heart. Seeing that Yuan Shu was getting impatient, he suddenly waved his folding fan.
"Brother Lu, you can compete in a competition, but I think playing three games is too troublesome. How about deciding the outcome in one game? Three thousand taels of silver per game."
call……
As soon as Renyonghou Liu Qi said these words, everyone around him was stunned.
This is so exciting and crazy.
Three thousand taels of silver were bet in one round, and there was no way to remedy the situation.
Yuan Shu, who was still feeling proud at first, was also stunned. Unexpectedly, Liu Boyu was even more ruthless.
Even Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, who had seen the big scene, were confused.
If you play three games, there is at least a chance of winning, but this time there is no chance of winning or losing.
"Okay, I'll put myself to death and survive. This Renyonghou looks good and has courage."
Huangpu Song upstairs will naturally not really fight with Zheng Xuan. After all, they have been friends for many years.
It was just a joke to cheer up the atmosphere.
The great scholar Zheng Xuan snorted coldly.
It was rare that he didn't refute this time. Liu Qi was a very powerful general.
Three thousand taels of silver is not a small sum. For such a large bet, someone's hands would tremble when they cast the pot.
"Brother Highway, why don't we just forget it."
Wei Zhongdao, the Hedong guard next to him, persuaded in a low voice, saying that three thousand taels of silver was all he brought.
It's okay if you win, but if you lose, how can you marry the goddess Cai Wenji.
The groom couldn't afford the bride price, so he became a joke in Luoyang city.
Of course, Wei Zhongdao was also wishful thinking at this time and did not consider whether Cai Wenji would choose him.
At this time, Yuan Shu was riding a tiger and was unable to get off, so he initiated the initial competition by himself.
You can't say that the stakes are too high. If you don't compete, you will not only lose your own face, but also the Yuan family's face.
Liu Qi couldn't help but smile inwardly when he saw Yuan Shu's embarrassed look.
With that kind of intelligence, he still dares to jump out and challenge himself.
