Chapter 52: Seventeen Gold Coins

The second to play was Li Er, and Li Sui gave him the same instructions, except for the third instruction to change the No. 1 bowl and the No. 3 bowl.

As a result, Li Sui accurately guessed the location of the stone.

Soon, one round passed, and all nine people in the camp lost to Li Sui.

Some people didn't believe in this evil and continued to gamble with Li Sui.

Soon, Li Sui earned dozens of taels.

Just as everyone was playing, a soldier walked in.

"Do you have someone named Li Sui here?"

"I am, is there something wrong?" Li asked puzzled.

"General Zhao has an order, let you go over now."

Hearing this, Li Sui's expression suddenly became solemn.

Seeing that Zhao Siyi was looking for someone to summon him, Li Sui didn't dare to slack off.

He greeted the people in the barracks, and then left with the soldiers who had come to summon him.

Tonight's night is excellent, starry, moonlight like water, and streamers flow quietly in the camp.

A breeze blew, the lanterns hanging above the tent swayed gently, and rows of military flags fluttered slowly.

The patrolling soldiers walked back and forth in the camp, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

The soldiers took Li Sui to Zhao Siyi's camp and stopped.

"You wait here, I'll go in and report to the general."

Hearing his words, Li Sui had to wait obediently in place.

"The general let you in." After a while, the soldier came out to deliver a message and let Li go inside.

This is the first time Li Sui has entered Zhao Siyi's tent, and last time he only followed Han Junxiu to the door of the tent and did not enter.

As soon as he entered Zhao Siyi's camp, Li Sui simply looked around and found that the interior layout was completely incomparable with the camp he was staying in.

Zhao Siyi's camp tent is covered with a gold silk carpet on the ground, and the left side of the tent is a couch in front of one side, and the couch is covered with a silk quilt.

On the right side of the tent, there is a private stove and utensils. It is estimated that it was used by his generals for banquets.

In the middle of the tent was a rectangular table and a few rosewood chairs.

On top of the desk are pens, ink, paper, inkstones, and a few rolled drawings, which look like military maps.

At this time, Zhao Siyi was sitting upright at the back of the desk and wiping his sword.

"General Zhao is good." Li Sui knelt on one knee and saluted Zhao Siyi with his fists clenched.

"Li Sui, are you guilty?" Zhao Siyi said coldly, revealing a murderous aura from his words.

"I don't know what is the sin of lowly office?"

"Pinching raw eggs was your idea, but I came back and tried, it is impossible to crush the eggs with manpower, and you are not cheating? Deceive the superiors and the subordinates, and the crime should be punished. ”

At this time, Zhao Siyi said as he slowly walked up to Li Sui.

"Tell me, how the hell did you get it? Did you let Han Junxiu crush the eggs? Zhao Siyi asked.

"I asked Master Han to quietly hide a small pebble in his palm in advance, and as long as he exerted a little force, he could easily crush the egg." Li Sui told the truth.

However, the lowly office does not consider himself guilty. Captain Han and Captain Shi are not comparable, and they will not give up. ”

And the two are evenly matched, and it is difficult to decide the winner for a while. At this time, when the two armies were facing each other, I felt that with this idle time, it was better to train the soldiers. Li Sui said.

"Bold, dying is dying, and you are still talking about it here." As he spoke, Zhao Siyi let out a loud shout and put the sword on Li Sui's neck.

However, Li Sui's expression did not change in any way.

"Hahaha. Don't be afraid of danger, good. Seeing Li Sui like this, Zhao Siyi suddenly laughed and put away his sword.

It turned out that all this was deliberately done by Zhao Siyi.

"Get up. I have a problem here, I wonder if you can help me solve it? If you can untie it, I'm in for a reward. ”

"General, please." At this time, Li Sui stood up and said to Zhao Siyi respectfully.

At this time, Zhao Siyi took out seventeen gold coins from his body and placed them on top of the desk.

"I have seventeen gold coins here, and I now ask you to divide them among three men, and ask for the first one to get one-half, the second one for one-third, and the third for one-ninth." Zhao Siyi said.

"I don't care how you divide it, but the only requirement is that the gold must be intact." At this time, Zhao Siyi added.

After Li Sui pondered for a moment, he said to Zhao Siyi, "Trouble the general to borrow another gold coin." ”

Zhao Siyi didn't talk nonsense after hearing this, and immediately took out a coin from his arms and gave it to Zhao Siyi.

Li Sui took the coin in Zhao Siyi's hand and said, "Now there are a total of eighteen gold coins, and the eighteen are half of nine, so the first person gets nine gold coins." ”

"A third of eighteen is six, so the second man gets six coins."

"Nineteenth of eighteen is two, and all the third should get two gold coins."

"Nine plus six plus two is seventeen, and there is just one more gold coin to return to you, General Zhao." With that, Li Sui handed the gold coin in his hand to Zhao Siyi.

"Hahaha, it's really witty, I won't accept this gold coin, along with the ten-day gold coin on the table, as your reward for solving this problem." Zhao Siyi was amazed by Li Sui's intelligence.

"Okay, it's getting late, you can go back to the camp and rest today."

Hearing that Zhao Siyi had given him an eviction order, Li Sui put away the gold coins, and then left the camp after saying goodbye to Zhao Siyi.

Although Zhao Siyi didn't say anything this time, Li Sui knew that soon, Zhao Siyi would definitely come to him.

Looking at the eighteen gold coins in his arms, Li Sui couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.

I knew that it would be so easy to get eighteen gold coins, and I didn't have to put so much effort into gambling with those people before.

The value of any single gold coin here is far greater than the total value of all the silver taels he had won in his tent tonight.

It seems that there is money to buy Steward Zhang.

Li followed for a while, and a group came in front of him.

Judging by their appearance, they should have returned from bathing by the stream.

Li Sui took a closer look and found that the nine buddies who had gambled with him just now were among them, and Jin Shihou was also among them.

Except for Jin Shihou, the other people who knew Li Sui just said hello casually and left.

After everyone left, Jin Shihou asked Li Sui, "Second brother, what are you doing here?" ”

So Li casually told Jin Shihou everything that happened in Zhao Siyi's tent just now.

"By the way, I just heard from your tent that you gambled with them and won more than fifty taels from them? How do you do that? At this time, Jin Shihou suddenly thought of the conversation by the river just now, and asked Li Sui.
