I am Changsheng in Daqin

Chapter 17
Jiang Ye and Qiao Heifeng made a bet a month ago.

Both sides have arrived, and they only need to wait for the referee to be in place before the battle can begin.

At this time, a young boy shouted: "Mr. Wu is here."

Li Qing followed the sound and saw a carriage driving in the distance, accompanied by two entourages.

The person in the car was Wu Wei, a famous general in Hanzhong County.

Because this man lost an arm in a battle and was defeated repeatedly, he retired from the army and returned to his fields.

He is a gambler by nature and upright.

Wherever there are competitions, gambling or games, you will always see him.

Knowing the bet between Master Jiang and Heifeng Village, Wu Wei naturally would not miss the excitement.

He volunteered and was willing to be the referee for both sides.

Although Wu Wei is unemployed, his reputation is still there, and his words still carry weight in front of Master Jiang and Heifengzhai.

Wu Wei got off the car.

After some pleasantries with both parties, we officially got to the point.

This duel will be conducted in three ways: Wen, Wu, and Ability.

Wen: Both sides have a problem, two out of three rounds win.

Wu: Each side sends two representatives. They can fight in single combat or melee. There are no restrictions on tactics. Life and death are determined by fate.

Ability: Each side sends one person to hide an object in the forest. It is limited to two hours. Whichever side finds it first will win.

If both parties are unable to achieve the goal within the time limit, they will choose one of the civil and military forces by drawing lots, and then compete again.

"This time, the winner will get a thousand taels of gold and silver and a mansion; the loser will not only lose his property, but also have his arms amputated.

"I am willing to admit defeat in my bet. No matter which side loses, I will never retaliate against the other side. Heaven and earth will be my witness, and I will be my guide."

Wu Wei finished reading out the rules of the bet, and the competition officially began.

"Both sides will have one question each, and two out of three games will be the best. Which of you will ask first, and who will answer first?" Wu Wei said.

The second master of Heifeng Village said loudly: "I'll ask first."

At this time, Mr. Jiang whispered to Li Qing: "I heard that the second master had served as a counselor to Shangyong County magistrate before entering Heifeng Village. He is knowledgeable about astronomy and geography. You must be very alert."

'If he was really that powerful, how could he have entered a village and become a bandit? He must be a person who has lived in vain. '

Li Qing had a look of disdain on his face and didn't take the other party seriously at all.

The second master of Heifeng Village drove his horse forward and asked, "Who will you send to answer the questions?"

During the essay fight, Mr. Jiang was teased in the street by the second boss, which left a shadow on his heart.

Now that Li Qing is helping out, his confidence has improved a bit.

"Let one of my little followers play with you first."

When Mr. Jiang said this, his heart was still beating, but his face was calm and calm.

Li Qing raised his hand and signaled, and Master Jiang's attendant quickly brought him a chair.

Li Qing sat down, leaned back, crossed his legs that he didn't recognize, and said slowly: "Grandpa, although I can't read a few big characters, it's okay to accompany you for a game."

The second boss was immediately offended: "Jiang, you are making a fool of yourself by asking an illiterate little beggar to compete with me!"

Mr. Jiang was originally unsure, but seeing Li Qing's arrogant demeanor, he felt a little more confident: "It's a mule or a horse, it has to be taken out for a walk."

"Let me compete with a young beggar named Jiang. You really think highly of me!"

The second master looked down upon Li Qing, originally he just thought he was a three-year-old child and only wanted to make fun of him.

Seeing Master Jiang's attitude, I decided to give him a wink to kill their spirit.

"Kid, if you lose, call your mother and ask her to breastfeed you in front of all the brothers in Black Wind Village."

Before the second master finished speaking, all the brothers behind him burst into laughter.

Li Qing smiled calmly: "What if you lose?"

"Me?" the second master said arrogantly: "If I lose, I will worship you as my master on the spot and kneel three times and kowtow nine times."

Li Qing's lips curled up slightly: "Is this true?"

"The dignified second master of Black Wind Village is very consistent in what he says, and Mr. Wu is also there to testify." The second master spoke loudly and forcefully, and seemed sure to win.

"In that case, let's stop talking nonsense and come up with the questions." Li Qing waved his hand and said.

The second master looked sideways at Li Qing and sneered: "Little Guitou, uncle, I want you to know what self-knowledge means and what it means to retreat when faced with difficulties.

"Listen carefully, it is said that chickens and rabbits have 88 heads and 240 four legs. How many of each are there?"

Li Qing sneered and said to himself: "Oh no, this is a fourth-grade elementary school question. Is this old BK playing house with me?" '

Master Jiang touched Li Qing with his elbow and whispered: "Brother, don't be stunned, answer the question quickly."

Li Qing glared at Master Jiang: "How can you kill a chicken with a butcher's knife? Don't tell me, you don't know such a simple question?"

Mr. Jiang said with a bitter face: "My family was poor when I was a child, so how could I afford to be literate?"

Li Qing finally understood why Master Jiang was so obedient to him, even though he was illiterate!

"Second Master, please prick up your ears." Li Qing replied, "There are 34 rabbits and 54 chickens."

The second master was shocked and said to himself: "I have been thinking about a difficult problem for several days, but he answered it fluently in just a moment!" '

Qiao Heifeng saw the shocked look on the second master's face and asked, "Second brother, please tell me something. Could it be that he got the answer right?"

The second master was too shocked to speak. He only nodded slightly and kept making gurgling sounds from his throat.

Wu Wei announced that in the first round, Mr. Jiang won.

"Brother, I love you to death!" Master Jiang hugged Li Qing and kissed him hard on the forehead.

Li Qing rolled up his sleeves and wiped his forehead frantically - "This smell is so damn creepy!" '

"Now it's our turn to ask questions."

Master Jiang shouted loudly, and then whispered to Li Qing: "Brother, it's up to you."

Li Qing frowned, raised the question to his heart, and said loudly:

"Listen carefully, there are 99 numbers from two to one hundred, and I will choose any two among them.

"Tell Zhang San the sum of two numbers, and tell Li Si the product of two numbers.

"Of course, Li Si doesn't know what the sum is, and Zhang San doesn't know what the product is.

"On the second day, Zhang San and Li Si met by chance on the street. Zhang San said arrogantly: 'Although I don't know what these two numbers are, I am sure that you don't know either.'

"John Doe fired back: 'I didn't know, but I know now.'

"Zhang San hesitated for a moment and said: 'Now I also know what these two numbers are.

"May I ask the second master, what are these two numbers?"

The second master looked confused and speechless.

Qiao Heifeng and the Third Master made Monk Zhang Er even more confused.

For a moment, the three of them could only stare at each other, without any ideas in their minds.

Time passed slowly, and Wu Wei began to urge.

The cold wind was blowing in the woods, but the second master was sweating.

Seeing this, Li Qing felt happy: "This cheating question has tortured people for thousands of years. Guiguzi, you are so fucking talented!" '

Master Jiang admired Li Qing so much that he asked in a low voice: "Brother Li Qing, what are these two numbers?"

Li Qingpi smiled: "The secret must not be leaked."

After a quarter of an hour, the second master chose to give up.

Two out of three games, a literary fight, and Mr. Jiang's side wins.

Li Qing leaned against the backrest again, with a smile on his face: "Second Master, you don't need me to remind you what to do next, right?"

Mr. Jiang laughed loudly: "The second master of Heifeng Village, if he talks like farting, then he will be laughing at you!"

The second master frowned and looked at Qiao Heifeng for help.

Qiao Heifeng helplessly avoided the eyes of the second master.

"You kid pretended to be a pig and ate the tiger. I accept your defeat, but I won't accept it!"

After the second master finished speaking, he jumped off his horse and came to Li Qing.

"The master is above, and the apprentice will worship."

Before he finished speaking, he started to perform a grand ceremony of kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times.

Li Qing raised his index finger, shook it, and corrected: "Not a disciple, but a disciple."
