Su Yu grinned again and hesitated. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

He was always a little apprehensive in his heart, feeling that Mo Lin'er must have some plan, and it was impossible to throw out the thirty gold in vain, but no matter how much he racked his brains, he couldn't figure out where the strange was.

It's nothing to be a dealer, if you do well, not only will you not lose, but you will make more, and this is Mo Lin'er's personal request, how can you miss this opportunity to show your strength in front of beauties?

After thinking for a long time, Su Yu gritted his teeth: "Okay, I'll do the east, but the odds have to be determined after the coins are counted." ”

Mo Lin'er nodded: "That's nature." ”

As soon as everyone saw that the gambling contract was completed, they hurriedly shouted loudly to the stage: "Please wait a while, two of you!" Don't be in a hurry!" For fear that the two people would fight without saying a word to divide the winner and loser, and the gambling contract would not be fulfilled.

Su Qi and Su Tengjiao couldn't laugh or cry when they saw the chaotic gambling below. Looking at Old Lady Su again, she didn't seem to have the intention of stopping it, but looked at it with interest.

"Old lady, this ...... Do you have to wait?" asked the servant beside him.

"Wait, what's the matter? If Lin'er wants to make trouble, let her make trouble at will. Old lady Su stroked her beard and said with a smile.

Seeing that Mrs. Su was indulgent, the two people on the stage were embarrassed to make a move immediately, so they could only stare at each other dryly.

Su Tengjiao couldn't help it first: "Young Master Su Qi, after a while, you will attack me directly, and after I fight with you for a hundred moves, I will restrain you, and you will admit defeat, how about it?"

Su Tengjiao considered that if Su Qi was allowed to admit defeat directly, he would inevitably lose face, so he proposed this more "gentle" way. In Su Tengjiao's opinion, it is already a very remarkable thing to be able to make a hundred moves with him, and Su Qi has a light on his face, so he will naturally admit defeat obediently.

Su Qi couldn't help laughing: "You haven't seen me make a move, so you're sure I'll lose?"

As the two spoke, everyone had already counted the coins. There are cake gold, there are knife coins, roughly converted, the Su family's children bet roughly seventy gold.

There are five kinds of currency in Yan State, one is the copper coin, that is, the most common copper coin, one hundred copper coins for a knife coin; the second is the ordinary knife coin, that is, the general currency minted by the Yan State government; the third is the knife coin minted in the early days of the founding of the country, engraved with "Yan Jianbang's legalization", because it is no longer minted at this time, so the value is higher, one is about three ordinary knife coins; the fourth is the official gold coin, a gold coin is equivalent to one hundred ordinary knife coins, that is, thirty old knife coins; the fifth is cake gold, round like a cake, with inscriptions, equivalent to ten gold coins, which is commonly known as "gold cake". ”。

At this time, the purchasing power of money was still relatively strong, a knife coin could buy more than 100 catties of millet, and the annual income of ordinary farmers was only thirty or fifty gold, which was already a huge number.

What Mo Lin'er took out at this time were three golden cakes. The children took out two gold cakes, twenty gold coins, sixty old sword coins, and one hundred ordinary sword coins. As for the copper coins, everyone is a child of a family, and even if they have them, they can't get their hands on them.

Su Yu counted the number, coughed dryly twice and said: "Miss Lin'er, this betting ratio is about three to seven, you look at the odds, how much should be set?"

Mo Lin'er smiled: "Su Tengjiao has a great chance of winning, everyone knows this, so Su Qi will inevitably have a higher odds, so he will set one to five, how about it?"

Su Yu couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth, and she didn't know the bottom in her heart. If Su Qi loses, everyone pays 70 gold to earn 14 gold, and he can earn the remaining 16 gold as a banker; if Su Qi wins, Mo Lin'er pays 30 gold to earn 150 gold, and everyone's 70 gold is not counted, and he has to post another 80 gold as a banker.

Thinking of this, Su Yu shook her head again and again: "Miss Lin'er, it's a little taller." ”

Mo Lin'er smiled, as if she had expected it a long time ago: "How about paying three for one? ”

When everyone heard this, they also felt that this price was already very fair, and if it was lower, Mo Lin'er would be too much of a loss, and they couldn't help but feel pity for the jade.

"Okay, good, just pay three, no matter how low it is, we are embarrassed to bet again!"

"That is, we can't bully a woman, just pay three for one!"

"Three to one!

Seeing that everyone agreed, Su Yu had to bite the bullet and say, "Okay, one pays three." He roughly estimated that if Su Qi won, he could pay twenty gold, although it was still a lot, but it was much less than the previous eighty gold, thinking of this, he had to grit his teeth and agree.

"Alright, the bet is made, two of you in the ring, please beginβ€”" one of the children shouted.

Su Tengjiao had been waiting impatiently, and when he saw that the matter was finally over, he immediately hugged his fist at Su Qi: "Please." ”

Su returned the salute with a fist, and then slowly drew the iron sword at his waist.

The dark sword body did not have a trace of reflection in the sun, and it looked extremely ordinary and inconspicuous, but in Su Qi's hand, it was like an iron lock across the river, with a slight impeccable meaning.

Su Tengjiao was slightly stunned when he saw Su Qi take out his sword. He thought that Su Qi was just putting on a show, but when he saw Su Qi's posture and expression holding the sword, he realized that he was wrong. This kind of skillful technique, unless it is practiced diligently, it is absolutely impossible to show it in a gesture.

Su Qi held the iron sword, turned sideways slightly, and posed in a standard "straight sword" starting style.

"Straight sword?" Su Tengjiao was slightly stunned. As a martial artist, although he doesn't practice swordsmanship, he is also very familiar with the starting style of this set of swordsmanship, so he can see it at a glance.

Everyone in the audience was also paying attention to the situation on the stage, and when they saw Su Qi posing with his hand, they all talked about it.

"Huh, straight sword, is Su Qi a martial artist?"

"Nonsense, he came to power just now with a sword, didn't you see it?"

"He's a martial artist, and he still needs to climb the ladder to get on stage?

"He shouldn't have had time to learn this set of swordsmanship, right?"

Su Tengjiao was full of suspicion, but when he saw Su Qiyuan's demeanor, he also retracted his contempt slightly. He took a deep breath and slowly pulled out the Wu hook around his waist.

The so-called Wu hook is a special arc-shaped sword. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Wu Wangfu defeated the Yue Kingdom and ordered the Yue State Sword Casting Master to create a unique weapon. Yue Guo is good at forging swords, and most of the famous swords in the Spring and Autumn Period are from the hands of Yue swordsmen, so there are swordsmiths who cast this kind of blade shaped like a crescent moon and dedicated it to Fucha. The husband was overjoyed, so he named it "Wu Hook".

Wu's hook is like a crescent moon, with a double-sided blade, which is still a kind of sword, and it is extremely sharp, especially good at chopping, which can make up for the lack of user strength.

With the demise of the Yue Kingdom, although the casting method of Wu Hook has been handed down, the Wu Hook Sword Method has declined after all, and now only the once famous "Yue Nu Sword" is left in actual combat.

Su Tengjiao deliberately chose Wu Hook as his blade because his strength was less than that of ordinary martial arts cultivation, and practicing Wu Hook could give full play to the flexible characteristics of his body and make up for the disadvantage of lack of strength.

Wu hook in his hand, Su Tengjiao's heart was much more steady, he set up his hand, and said, "Please." ”
