Chapter 68: Betting to Win (Happy Chinese New Year to Friends)

It's been the New Year, I've been busy these days, and I've updated a little less, so please understand. I wish my friends a happy Spring Festival, all the best, and a happy family.

********************************************************************

"All brothers go!" Xu Qilin bowed his hand and smiled, "It's not only a witness, but also a happy drink, why not?" ”

"It's delicious and delicious, and you can watch the excitement, it's a fool not to go." Yu Chihuan said loudly: "I will definitely go and cheer for Brother Xu." ”

"Go together, go together." Cheng Chubi grinned and smiled even more happily, "I have long smelled that the dishes of the drunken Xiaolou are delicious, and this time I want to have a good meal." ”

"Be sure to go, be sure to go."

"Who can not go to this good thing?"

A group of Xiao Zhengtai's ordinary days have also passed enough, and when they have some excitement, they are immediately excited, talking nonsense, and then they each say goodbye and go home.

"Brother Xu, if you don't get this hundred yuan money-" Liu Hongye was a little worried about Xu Qilin's family background, and expressed it euphemistically.

Xu Qilin laughed, shook his hand and said, "Brother Liu's kindness is in my heart." Rest assured, money is not an issue. ”

Yu Chihuan frowned and said, "This guy looks very confident, could it be that his martial arts have risen greatly during this time, and he has learned some secret skills?" ”

Xu Qilin was also a little worried in his heart, but he just felt that with his own strength, he was probably not very sure.

What's more, Lao Tzu has a "soul detention order", and these days he has experimented almost the same, so he will have a "ghost upper body" and beat your out.

"Winning or losing is a common thing." Liu Hongye saw that Xu Qilin didn't answer, so he comforted: "Everyone has also competed in martial arts before, and if they lose, they are not still on duty, they still laugh together." ”

Xu Qilin smiled and said, "Brother Liu is right. When I think about the rules, I will ask Brother Liu to arrive early tomorrow, and I also want to ask Brother Liu to be the referee! ”

Liu Hongye smiled and said, "Then I'll arrive at the hour, so I'll familiarize myself with the rules first." With that, he took his leave and rode away.

Wei Chihuan accompanied Xu Qilin and said, "I will practice more today, and I will be more sure tomorrow." If you don't let you fall, it will have some impact on Brother Xu's combat power. ”

Xu Qilin shook his head and said, "Just practice simply today, don't take too long." I had to write the rules as well as set up the venue. Resting before the battle is also the way to win. ”

"It's fine." Yu Chihuan nodded, turned over his horse, and said, "I'll be here tomorrow." Let's go, practice with you for a while, and you will have a good rest. ”

Xu Qilin turned over and got on the horse, walked with Wei Chihuan, talked as he walked, and went back to the house to practice together.

…………….

Because the Song Dynasty was a mobile and open commercial society, the city's entertainment and culture were more prosperous.

The gradual expansion of the citizen class has promoted people's urgent demand for cultural and recreational life. Compared with the peasants, the burghers have more leisure time after all, and the gathering function of the crowd has also increased, and the colorful "Vasher Performing Arts" has also come into being.

What is "Vasher"? It is a large-scale comprehensive amusement venue, also known as "tile" and "tile". There is a place for performing various operas, acrobatics, and talking in the "Vashe", which is called Goolan.

In the Tang Dynasty, a variety of folk arts were not concentrated in fixed places, let alone a cultural industry. Xu Qilin bought land next to the drunken building, and the "Goolan Tile House" built can be described as an exclusive innovative operation.

Yesterday afternoon, Xu Qilin went to Zuixiao Building, found Boss Xu, and arranged it in the unfinished "Goolan Tile House", and gave the craftsman a holiday this morning.

Early in the morning, after Xu Qilin had eaten, he took a few family members to Zuixiao Lou and waited for the arrival of others.

Liu Hongye was very punctual, but Wei Chihuan came earlier than him. The two of them were led by the subordinates who were guarding the restaurant, and they were amazed at this martial arts competition.

This jousting arena is part of the Vasher fence and is mainly used for sumo wrestling performances. Originally, there was a rope around it, and it was built by Xu Qilin to imitate the boxing fighting ring of later generations.

Now, the rope fence has been removed for the time being, and it is a square platform with a length and width of six meters and a height of half a meter. The platform is covered with a floor and a straw mat around it to prevent injuries from falling.

Xu Qilin handed the rules to Liu Hongye and Wei Chihuan, and then pointed to the platform for a brief explanation, "When you compete, you are on this stage, and if you fall down, you will lose; If you are knocked down on the stage, you have to suspend the game, and Brother Liu counts it, and if you can't stand up after ten breaths, you will lose ......"

In order to ensure a greater chance of winning, Xu Qilin also formulated a three-round system, that is, a best-of-three system, with each game limited to half a pillar of incense. He did a rough calculation, about five or six minutes.

Liu Hongye has read the rules and thinks that it is not complicated, but it is also quite fair. Pausing after being knocked down is beneficial to Xue Zonggui, who is afraid of falling, and he will probably not object.

"Brother Xu is sure?" Liu Hongye is still more concerned about the outcome and said: "If you feel that the outcome is unpredictable, it is better to say that you want to hold it and let Xue Zonggui retreat knowing the difficulty, which is reasonable." ”

Yu Chihuan smiled: "Brother Liu, don't worry. If Qi Lin uses the 'Ah Da' magic skill, Xue Zonggui will definitely not be an opponent. ”

"Ah Da Shen Gong?" Liu Hongye was very surprised, and asked suspiciously: "What kind of kung fu is that, I have never heard of it!" ”

Xu Qilin hurriedly said: "Don't listen to his nonsense, what 'Ah Da' magic skill is an ordinary martial art, but it is just called more weird." ”

Liu Hongye didn't believe it, smiled and said, "You have to see and know when you compete." I've heard that samurai roar when they fight, but I've never seen it. ”

Yu Chihuan seemed to have heard the most ridiculous thing, he laughed, and glanced at Xu Qilin a little weirdly.

Xu Qilin could only roll his eyes, this can blame me, if you want to play the skill of summoning the soul, you must empty part of your thinking and control, and I can't help myself!

Liu Hongye found a chair and sat down, and began to familiarize himself with the rules seriously. Yu Chihuan couldn't stay idle, jumped into the ring and punched and kicked.

Xu Qilin simply did the activity, and felt that there was no hindrance in all parts of his body, so he sat in the chair and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Time flies not fast, from time to time there are thousands of cattle ready to come, the cold noise is over, so I inquire about the rules of the competition. Then sit down to eat fruit, drink drinks, and giggle and chat.

"Today, a certain family brought silver cakes, brothers, can you bet with me?" After Cheng Laosan sat down for a while, he took out two silver cakes and slapped them on the table, glaring around with big eyes, and the monkey's anxious look was fully revealed.

I'll go, and there's still an opening bet on the money?

Xu Qilin was a little stunned, he didn't expect Cheng Chubi to have this hobby, but he was a gambler.

Seeing that no one responded, Cheng Laosan was a little anxious and shouted: "No matter how much, bet just to have fun." ”

"Cheng Laosan, who do you bet on to win?" Yu Chihuan stepped out of the ring and asked loudly: "You have to have both families to play if you have a bet!" ”
