Chapter 341 Bet
Not long after, several people arrived at the hunting ground almost at the same time.
"Brother Li Shang, you're the one who called everyone out to hunt today. Why don't you decide how we're going to play today? We can't just have a casual fight and call it a day, right?"
"That's right! We can't just play casually like this, it has to be a little challenging to be interesting! Don't you agree?"
At this time, Su Jinqi saw the right opportunity and said, "Why don't we compete to see who can hunt the most ferocious prey today? How about it?"
"Brother Ziheng (Su Jinqi's courtesy name is Ziheng), this is too unfair, isn't it? Everyone present here knows that you have been fighting on the battlefield since you were young, so facing ferocious beasts is naturally no problem. We are just a group of well-mannered scholars. If we play according to your rules, we will have already admitted defeat before the game even starts..."
Everyone followed suit and said, "Yes! Who doesn't know how powerful General Su is? We are ashamed of ourselves! How about a different bet?"
"I also agree to change the betting method."
"I also think we should change the way we bet. It wouldn't be worth it if a ferocious beast hurt our lives."
Seeing that Li Shang had remained silent, Su Jinqi couldn't help but feel curious and expectant. He couldn't help but ask softly, "Brother Li Shang, what do you think about this matter? I see that you haven't said anything yet. Do you have a conclusion in your mind? If so, why not speak out and let us take it into consideration. After all, you have more knowledge and experience than us. It's up to you to decide everything!"
Li Shang raised his head slightly, staring at Su Jinqi, his eyes flashing with thought. After a long while, he slowly said: "Everyone is in high spirits today, I think this is a great opportunity. Why don't we agree to meet here at the end of the day, and then whoever has the most prey will win. No matter how big or small the prey is, it can be counted. This way, it can add some fun to the competition and test everyone's strength and luck. What do you think?"
"it is good."
"I agree."
"That's a good idea."
"I agree."
"What about the bet? What is our bet?" someone suddenly asked.
Li Shang narrowed his eyes slightly and responded without any hesitation: "How about we make a bigger bet?"
Su Jinqi looked at Li Shang with curiosity, secretly sighing in her heart that this man was much more courageous than she had imagined, and he seemed to be different from those around him. After thinking for a while, he slowly said: "So, what do you think you can use as a bet, Brother Li Shang?"
After hearing Su Jinqi's question, Li Shang naturally understood that the other party was deliberately making things difficult for him. After all, judging from his clothes, he was obviously the shabbiest among all the people present. It didn't take much thought to know that in terms of financial resources, he was definitely not comparable to others.
"What do you think, General Su?" Li Shang was not afraid at all.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little strange, everyone spoke up to stop it.
"It's just a game. Just have fun. There's no need to be fussy. What do you think? Is it yes or no?" One person spoke, and the others followed suit.
Another person who was on good terms with Li Shang rode up to him and said, "Brother Li Shang, you are usually very steady and don't talk much. Why are you like this today?"
Li Shang understood what he meant, but he felt uncomfortable when he thought of Meng Zhiyuan. But a smile appeared on his face, "Brother Yin, you don't know, I have a problem, I am willing to take everything seriously, I don't like to change my mind."
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Jinqi looked at him quickly, "Brother Li Shang, do you have any intention? Why don't you tell me?"
Li Shang realized that he had said something out of turn and changed the subject, "Then let everyone make suggestions! I will cooperate with everything."
Seeing that Li Shang did not continue talking, Su Jinqi did not pursue the matter further, because this was the first time he and Li Shang had met and they had no enmity between them, so he must be worrying too much.
They were all from wealthy families with good origins and were well aware that Li Shang's family was not well off, so they did not place particularly high stakes in this gambling game, for fear of damaging the harmony between them because of the stakes.
Therefore, everyone present proposed some bets, including extremely valuable ancient books, rare medicinal materials rarely seen in the world, and paintings handed down from famous masters. Finally, after repeated discussions and considerations, everyone unanimously decided to use an ancient medical book that had been lost for a long time as the final chip for this bet.
After hearing the news, Li Shang was secretly delighted. He knew very well that this medical book was a rare treasure that countless doctors dreamed of, and it was of extremely special and important significance to him. At this moment, he had made up his mind that he must win this competition no matter what. Maybe, with this book, he could complete the transaction with Su Qing. Everyone dispersed and went to look for prey.
Time flies, and the end of the hour of Wei is approaching in a flash. Everyone gathers in the hunting ground, each showing off their rich spoils. The dazzling array of prey is dazzling.
After a careful count, an astonishing result emerged: Li Shang actually caught the most prey, becoming the undisputed champion of this competition! Compared with him, Su Jinqi only had one less rabbit. Li Shang won the coveted medical book as he wished, and his joy was beyond words.
"Brother Li Shang, I didn't expect you to be so capable. What a talent you have." Su Jinqi looked unwilling, as if he was not satisfied with the result.
"General Su is not bad either! I just won by luck. I guess General Su let us win."
Su Jinqi laughed when Li Shang gave him a way out. "I will definitely not let you go next time."
Everyone started laughing as well.
After returning to the city, Li Shang did not go home directly, but took the hunted prey to Jishidiang.
Li Yue circled around the prey, "Brother, you didn't kill all the prey in the hunting ground?"
"Everyone, take whatever you like!"
As soon as Li Shang finished speaking, everyone came forward and took what they wanted to eat.
Li Yue saw Li Shang holding a fluffy white rabbit in his arms. She stared at it without blinking, her face full of love: "Brother, I like this little rabbit so much! Can you give it to me?"
Li Shang quickly hid the little rabbit behind him, shook his head and said, "No, Xiaoyue, I can't give you this little rabbit. I have other uses for it."
Li Yue pouted unhappily and said coquettishly, "Brother, why have you suddenly become so stingy? Can't you even touch me?" As she spoke, she reached out to grab the little rabbit in Li Shang's arms.
Seeing this, Li Shang slightly turned his body to avoid Li Yue's hand, but he did not continue to refuse, but acquiesced to her behavior. So Li Yue carefully reached out her hand and gently stroked the soft fur of the little rabbit, with a satisfied smile on her face.
Seeing his sister happy, Li Shang couldn't help but feel doting in his heart. He sighed helplessly and thought to himself: "Well, I'll let you touch me for a while..."
