"Is the guard Bai Daxia's apprentice?" Since he couldn't find it, he asked clearly.

"Of course not. I only have one disciple. Does it make her exhausted to keep her fighting?" Bai Yitang nodded at the guards in the field and said, "Nuo, these are all guards, everyone can rest assured to compete, there is no need to do so. You're welcome, take away the winning book of war, and take away the money you bet."

   Everyone's eyes became hot, which was equivalent to a battle for nothing.

   But there are also more rational shouts: "You only get a war book once you win, isn't it too little? Hero Bai should bet on one set!"

   "Yes, yes, you should bet a set!"

   Bai Yitang sneered, "Okay, but if you want to challenge yourself, you have to spend 10,000 taels of silver."

  The scene immediately fell silent, and everyone stared at Baiyi with wide-eyed eyes.

   Bai Yitang sneered: "Why, is it too expensive?"

He shook the military book in his hand and said: "The military book is like a secret book, it is not easy to spread, don't believe you go to the major bookstores to check, how many military books can you find? These military books are treasured by the Zhang family, and they are the same as the secret books of the martial arts school. , you asked Shaolin Temple to take out the Book of Changes, King Kong Fist, etc. to fight, do you still think one hundred taels are expensive?"

  The knights were silent.

  Bai Yitang snorted coldly: "If you love it or not, if you don't want it, I'll pull it back to the emperor and let him keep it as a collection."

   All the knights are in a hurry, and they can't even touch it if they give it to the emperor.

   Someone shouted: "Bai Daxia, we are willing to fight, one hundred taels at a time, if we win, we will take away a military book!"

   "Yes, yes, yes, we are also willing to fight!"

Everyone talked about it. Although it was more than 100 taels, they could still get it. If they wanted to play a few more times, it would be a big deal to borrow some from a friend. But if it cost 10,000 taels, they couldn't get it. , at least not now.

"Since everyone agrees, then we will set up a fight outside the city in the afternoon. If you want to fight, just go to find it outside the city." Bai Yitang swept over the crowd and said with a smile: "Of course, if someone wants to fight without fighting, they will get a fight. It's not impossible to have a set of weapons, but it's just the price..."

  Bai Yitang laughed. Although he didn't finish his words, his meaning was clearly expressed.

   When everyone saw Bai Yitang, they waved their hands to let them move freely, and immediately widened their eyes. Is this the end?

   They paid a tael to enter the door just to hear this?

Everyone was so angry that they almost vomited blood, but Bai Yitang ignored everyone, and instead beckoned the head of the guard to ask him to find Sun Zhifu in Kaifeng, and hurriedly went outside the city to set up a ring, "We will guard for two days, after two days whether there is a fight or not. We're all leaving."

   He didn't notify his apprentice when he came out this time, he just wanted to surprise her. He stayed here for too long, and even if the apprentice was busy, he would hear the news, so he should hurry to Runing to find the apprentice.

   took over the apprentice and went back to the sect. Although he didn’t plan to let Baolu be a thief, Ling Tianmen still had to pass it on.

   Their sect's Qinggong and Nei Gong Xinfa are first-class and good, and this must be passed on, otherwise it will really be a shame for the teacher.

After explaining to the captain of the guard, when he looked back and saw that everyone was motionless, looking at him with angry or ignorant eyes, he blocked the book in his hand to the side, blocking most of his eyes, and chatted with Zheng Da Zheng Er in the air. "Zheng filial sons, it's impossible to win the fight with the martial arts of your brothers. How about you, are you going to fight or buy a set from me privately?"

   Zheng Da glanced at the books on the table, and asked lightly, "Listen to this, you have many sets of military books, isn't this the original book copied by the Zhang family?"

"Of course not. The origin is in the capital. Do you want it? The price is not low. There are many handwritten orphans in it. I heard that a single copy is worth a thousand gold. Are you willing to spend a thousand gold to buy a handwritten orphan?" Bai Yitang said. He raised the calligraphy in his hand and said, "I have printed several copies of those military books, whether they are printed or hand-copied, and they are combined into several sets. The price is cheaper. I can buy it for money or exchange it for an item of the same value."

"Of course, you can do business without capital like me, as long as you have the ability to steal things out of my hands, otherwise," Bai Yitang sneered, "I am from Jianghu, although I joined the imperial court, but Jianghu The matter is still in the rivers and lakes, everything follows the rules of the rivers and lakes, and when the time comes, the martial arts will be chopped off, and everyone should not say that I am vicious."

  Everyone was speechless, who would dare to steal Bai Yitang's head?

   This is the first person in the world of stealing.

Satisfied, Bai Yitang got up and went back to the house. A "bang" broke out upstairs and downstairs in an instant. Everyone whispered and discussed each other. Kaifeng didn't ask for favors, but it still has to spend a lot of money, which is really worth the loss.

   Now that Bai Yitang has the support of the imperial court, unless they want to rebel, it is impossible to force him to hand over the address and military book of the Lingtianmen treasure house as planned.

   They can only follow Bai Yitang's wishes. If they want a military book, they can either buy it with money or go fight.

   But there is so much money to beat, let alone buy it with money.

   As Bai Yitang said, a military book is like a martial arts secret book, and it is invaluable, but it cannot be measured by money.

   And this kind of military book has always been in the hands of those Sehun and aristocratic families, and it is rarely seen outside.

   If they really want to go from the martial arts to the court and let the whole family move forward, they must pay the corresponding price.

   Those who have long been confused by the great grand plan deliberately spread by Zhengjiabao have long been excited to get the money, ready to show their skills in the arena, and after winning the book of war, they will start to learn the art of war, make achievements on the battlefield, and honor the prime minister.

   And a sensible person is thinking about how likely he is to learn the book of war after he has taken it, and whether he can use it freely after learning it.

   Not all borders have wars, and if there are wars, he may not be able to win, and if he wins the military merits, it may not belong to him...

   Hesitating, hesitating, undecided, he had to discuss with everyone, so the inn became more lively.

   If you talk, you will be thirsty, and if you are thirsty, you need to drink tea, and most men prefer to drink, and when they drink, they need to eat food. Of course, we idiots prefer meat.

   So the voices calling for Xiao Er came one after another, the one who asked for tea, the other who ordered wine, and it was very lively.

When someone ordered, everyone could smell the deliciousness of the food, so more and more people ordered, and there were not enough ingredients in the kitchen. A little beggar pushed a cart, and a total of five carts were pushed to the back of the inn. There were vegetables, pork, mutton, and even chicken, duck, and fish on it.

The shopkeeper, who was in a hurry, was about to open the back door to find someone for help. As soon as he opened the back door, he saw the items on the five scooters. It was a treasure. He didn't mind that it was brought by beggars. The beggar, who came to weigh and settle the bill, bowed and smiled and said, "The shopkeeper, we still have a lot of vegetables there, do you still want them?"

   "If you want it, you can quickly bring it. I want as much as you bring."

   "And a few catties of tea and a few barrels of rice wine..."

   "All, all," the shopkeeper nodded again and again: "Hurry up and deliver it, the others can wait for a while, this wine can be faster."

   Xiao Qi'er answered happily, and retreated with the big guy pushing the scooter.

Sun Zhifu did not understand how the imperial court would get involved in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, but the captain of the guard had a written order, and he did not dare to ask more questions even if he was puzzled. In addition, the fight was outside the city and would not affect the people in the city, so he was even more concerned. Don't mind.

   allocated a team of yamen and a team of craftsmen, and it took only half a day to set up the arena, on a large flat field by the river outside the city.

There are wild grasses, green grass in spring, and wild flowers in summer. It is very beautiful. It is one of the best places for outings for gentlemen and ladies and wives in the city. Now there are three big arenas side by side. Row of grass for everyone to stand or sit.

The little beggars got the news early, and they asked people to build a thatched shed around the grass. There were a few long tables and long chairs in the shed. The first and first thick bowls were placed in buckets, and the stove was burning. With hot water, just wait for the water to boil, grab a large amount of rough tea and throw it down, and it will be a pot of tea after the fragrance is boiled.

Pour it into a teapot and walk around the field with it. A bowl of tea is worth a penny, a pot can hold 20 bowls, and a pot has six pots. Except for the tea, which is bought, pots, pots, thick bowls, tables and chairs are all available. It was rented for a few cents.

   A pot of tea will pay off.

   A group of little beggars, the oldest is no more than fourteen, the youngest walks swayingly, both men and women, but everyone's clothes are tattered but clean, and their faces, necks and hands are clean.

  Jianghu people are not strict about the details. Seeing that they are a group of little beggars selling tea, they do not look down on them, but they take care of them more.

   When you ask for a bowl of tea, most of them will throw away a handful of copper coins. The less is four or five cents, and the more is ten cents. They are almost dead.

  More and more people came to the arena to watch. Although it was winter, the sun was warm in the afternoon. After exercising, everyone wanted to drink tea.

   The little beggar who was beckoned by Bai Yitang yesterday saw that the business of the tea shed was so good, and rushed to Bai Yitang with a tear.

   Little beggar banged his head three times to Bai Yitang and shouted, "Little thank you for your life, and thank you for your guidance."

"This is your cleverness, don't thank me." Bai Yitang looked at him, stepped forward and stroked his head: "There may be many people in this world who will fail you, but as long as you work hard, life will always reward you. ."

   Bai Yitang patted his head: "Go, your brothers and sisters are still waiting for you."

   The little beggar kowtowed twice to Bai Yitang before getting up and running towards the tea shed.

   They can make a lot of money today. The vegetables, vegetables, tea, wine and meat for the inn are all the capital of Bai Yitang, and they can divide 30%, but the tea shed here is all theirs, no matter how much they make.

   After making money, they can buy cloth and cotton, and then go into the mountains to chop more firewood, and they will be able to get through this winter. Maybe they can all survive this winter and won’t starve to death.
