The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

Xiao Temo applauded and laughed, and the soldiers of the Liao Kingdom behind him also shouted repeatedly, but on the Song side, everyone was dejected and frightened, and there was no sound. 78

Su Jin frowned and said, "Take it to him for treatment, and give him more money."

Fu Bi's face was pale, and he leaned over in a low voice and said, "My dear brother, I'm afraid this is not my opponent, the difference is too great."

Su Jin's expression was not good, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Damn, I have never experienced such a useless attitude. I have to fight even if I am not an opponent. If I lose a battle, I will not lose my temper."

Fu Bi was helpless, it was too late to stop him at this moment, and he secretly regretted why he didn't reject Xiao Temo's proposal as soon as possible. He blamed himself for trusting Su Jin too much and always thought that everything could be settled in his hands; In the face of the gap in strength, no strategy will work.

Xiao Temo rewarded Xiao Shihu with a bowl of strong wine, Xiao Shihu drank it up, knelt down on one knee to salute, and left the stage.

Xiao Temo looked at Su Jin triumphantly and said, "Little baby, how are you? Is my Daliao warrior doing well? This envoy advises you to admit defeat, at least it won't hurt anyone; all the ten tigers under my tent have their monuments opened." With the strength of the crushed stones, your entourage just now must lie down for at least three months before he can move; this is still wearing armor, if it is an ordinary unprotected person, this kick would kill his life."

The frost on Su Jin's face receded, a smile hung on his lips, and he said loudly: "Master Xiao, there is only one fight in ten games. It's too early to say whether he will win or lose. I'm still looking forward to the next match with peace of mind."

Xiao Temo laughed loudly and said: "Little baby, you won't cry when you see the coffin. Since you refuse to admit defeat, let's continue the competition; but I feel that this kind of competition is really boring, and it ends with one kick, which is meaningless." It can be said; how about if we add some prizes?"

Su Jin cursed secretly, but refused to admit defeat, and said with a smile: "What kind of prize is there?"

Xiao Temo said: "Let's raise some bets. You and I each pay 100 taels of silver in each game. If you win, you will take all of it. If you lose, you will get nothing. This way, it will be a bit interesting."

The soldiers on Da Song's side were in an uproar, cursing one after another: "The dog thief knows that we are invincible, but adds this condition. Isn't this clearly bullying people?"

Su Jin groaned and frowned, obviously unwilling.

Xiao Temo laughed and said: "Why? Don't you dare? The little baby refuses to admit defeat, which means that he has the confidence to win us. Wouldn't it be better to win some prizes with you?"

Su Jin got up slowly, turned around and glanced at the followers behind him with sharp eyes, and all the followers fell silent where they looked. They clearly saw two fires burning in Su Jin's eyes, which was a kind of fire that was on the verge of breaking out. Point the raging fire.

Su Jin turned around, with a smile returning to his face, cupped his hands and said: "Master Xiao, your proposal is very good, and it's okay to add some prizes. It's just..."

Xiao Temo laughed and said, "Does the little boy think that 100 taels is too much? Or maybe 50 taels will do, any less will be boring."

Su Jin smiled and said, "Where did you come from? I thought the lottery was too small, and I really wasn't interested."

Xiao Temo said hesitantly: "Why are you so arrogant? 100 taels is too little? Then how much do you want to bet?"

Su Jin said: "Let's do this, if we lose in the first round, I will give you 100 taels of silver; if we lose again, I will give you 200 taels of silver, and if we lose in the third round, I will give you [-] taels of silver. Do you dare to bet twice as much as in the previous round?"

Xiao Temo blinked his eyes and said, "Why are you playing so many tricks? If you don't like our 1000 taels a round, you can do it yourself, but playing these fancy tricks for nothing, you can't even count."

Su Jin laughed and said: "It's easy to calculate, as long as you are not an idiot, you can calculate it clearly, do you dare?"

Xiao Temo pointed to his nose and said, "Do you dare to ask this envoy? This envoy is still worried that you don't have so much money to be a lottery."

Su Jin waved his hand and said: "It's true that I don't have so much on me. I ordered someone to go back and fetch it. It will be there immediately, and it will be in a while."

Xiao Temo patted his thigh and said: "Okay, the little baby is refreshing, I like it very much, so I will wait for a while, I will give you half an hour, after the hour, you will be considered as losers."

Su Jin smiled and said: "Why do you need half an hour, one stick of incense is enough time."

Su Jin stretched out his hand to summon Chao Chao and said, "Go back and ask someone to fetch 10 taels of silver."

Wang Chao blinked and said, "10 taels of silver? That's too small to handle."

Su Jin winked slightly and said: "If you can't hold it, won't someone carry it? It won't be time for a stick of incense, and your leg will be broken."

Su Jin bit the word "calling people" very hard, and Wang Chao understood it all at once, and his heart was as bright as a mirror.

"Yes, yes, the younger one is just to ask someone to carry it." Chao Chao also bit the word "caller" very hard, indicating that he understood what Su Jin meant.

Su Jin patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go, don't keep the noble envoy of Liao waiting."

Wang Chao promised, turned around and ran out. This time, the Liao soldiers at the door did not stop him, but he was very happy in his heart. Lord Song didn't accept the limelight, and he made it clear that he would lose ten games in a row, but he wanted to show face; needless to say, today Xiao The envoy of the Lord is about to make a lot of money, and his followers will also get a piece of the pie. Can't you be happy in your heart?When the dynasty went out, these Liao soldiers could not wait to bow and greet each other: "You go and come back quickly."

Fu Bi rubbed his hands with a sad face and said, "My dear brother, it's not right, it's not right."

Su Jin smiled and said: "Don't panic, brother rich. If you lose, it will be my own money. I will never ask the court for it."

Fu Bi said: "It's not about money, which song are you singing about?"

Su Jin smiled and said, "Brother Fu just sits and watches the theater, but my younger brother's brain is not confused, just watch and you'll understand."

Fu Bi shook his head and said nothing, he had no choice but to let Su Jin toss.

On which side Liu Liufu was also worried and asked Xiao Temo: "Master Xiao, this kid seems to be confident, can't he be cheating?"

Xiao Te finally rolled his eyes at him and said: "Cheating? This is just trying to make a fat face. He wants to deliberately increase the bargaining chip, making us feel that he has a chance of winning, and then retreats; how could I fall for him?" when."

Liu Liufu suddenly said: "So that's the case, the chief envoy is clever. But where do we get so much money for the lottery? We didn't bring much money with us."

Xiao Temo spat: "Look at you like that, it's really embarrassing, we won't lose, so what if we are penniless?"

Liu Liufu suddenly realized again, shrank his head back, turned his triangular eyes and remained silent.

Before it was time to stick an incense stick, there was a commotion outside, everyone turned their heads to look, and saw four men dressed as servants outside the wall carrying two large boxes and walking over.

Wang Chao took a few steps forward and cupped his hands and said, "Return to Deputy Ambassador Su, the money is here."

Su Jin looked at Wang Chao and said, "Is that enough?"

Wang Chao narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Don't worry, when has the villain ever made a mistake in his work?"

Su Jin smiled and said: "It's been hard work, I carried it to the field and opened it."

Wang Chao commanded four servants to carry two large boxes to the open space, unlock the locks and lift them open. Suddenly, the audience gasped loudly, and the eyes of all the Liao people began to glow green.

The two boxes are full of sealed silver ingots, each of which is 50 taels of crescent ingots, full of color, shining with white brilliance, making people dizzy.

"Master Xiao, this is 10 taels of silver, which is enough."

"Enough is enough." Xiao Te finally smiled, his eyes fixed on the white silver, as if all the silver was his own.

"Then let's start?" Su Jin smiled.

"Start, start, Nine Tigers will help me win all the silver." Xiao Temo said anxiously.

Su Jin laughed loudly, got up and took three ingots of silver and sent them to Xiao Temo's case to set them up, and said with a smile: "Master Xiao, you won the last round. The 150 taels of lunch is a meeting gift."

Xiao Temo laughed loudly and said: "The little baby is very good, very reasonable."

Su Jin smiled and said: "I'll keep my words in mind, I won't pay back if I lose, and you are not allowed to pay back if you lose."

Xiao Temo said angrily: "I am willing to bet and admit defeat, how can I renege on my debt?"

Su Jin said loudly: "Let's swear, the one who loses is the bastard tortoise."

Xiao Te rolled Su Jin's eyes at the end and said: "Little baby is so untrustworthy. Well, well, it's up to you, if I lose, I'll be a tortoise king, okay? It's more than a bastard, this time You are satisfied, don't waste time, hurry up and compete to be serious."

Su Jin laughed loudly and said, "Master Xiao is impatient. How much money do you have that you can't afford to lose? Are you in such a hurry? Let's get started, the show is about to begin!"

Su Jin turned around and returned to his seat, glanced at the teams that were about to enter the stage, felt reassured, sat down on his seat and said, "Next one, enter the stage."
