"Is the person guarding the ring the apprentice of Bai Daxia?" If you can't find it, then ask clearly.

"Of course not. I only have one disciple. Wouldn't it make her exhausted to have her guard the ring?" Bai Yitang nodded to the guards in the arena, and said, "No, these are the guards. Everyone, don't worry about competing. You're welcome, take away the winning strategy, and take away the money you bet on."

Everyone's eyes became hot, this is equivalent to fighting a game for nothing.

But there were also more rational ones who shouted: "You only get one book of war for one victory, isn't it too little? Hero Bai should bet on one set!"

"Yes, yes, you should bet on one set!"

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

The scene fell silent immediately, and everyone glared at Bai Yitang with wide eyes.

Bai Yitang sneered: "What, you think it's expensive?"

He shook the military book in his hand and said: "The military book is like a secret book, it is not easy to pass it on to the outside world, if you don't believe me, go to the major bookstores to check, how many military books can you find? And these military books are treasured by the Zhang family, which are the same as the secret books of the martial arts sect , you let Shaolin Temple take out the Book of Changes, Vajra Fist, etc., do you think one hundred taels is expensive?"

All the knights were silent.

Bai Yitang snorted coldly and said: "Whether you want to be beaten or not, if you don't want to be beaten, I will drag it back to the emperor and let him keep it as a collection."

The knights were in a hurry, and they couldn't touch it even more if it was given to the emperor.

At that moment someone shouted: "Hero Bai, we are willing to fight, one hundred taels each time, and if we win, we will take away a book of war!"

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

Everyone talked about it, although one hundred taels is a lot, they can still afford it. If they want to make more calls, the big deal is to borrow some from their friends, but if it costs 10,000 taels, they can’t afford it. , at least not now.

"Since everyone agrees, we will set up a competition outside the city in the afternoon. Those who want to participate in the competition can just look outside the city." Bai Yitang swept the crowd and said with a smile: "Of course, if anyone wants to get a competition without fighting It's not impossible to set up a military book, but the price..."

Bai Yitang chuckled, although he didn't finish his sentence, he expressed his meaning very clearly.

Seeing that Bai Yitang waved his hand to let them move freely, everyone's eyes widened immediately. Is this the end?

They spent a tael of silver to enter the door just to hear this passage?

Everyone was so angry that they almost vomited blood, but Bai Yitang ignored everyone. Instead, he beckoned to the chief guard and asked him to find Sun Zhifu in Kaifeng, and hurried to set up a ring outside the city, "We will guard for two days. Let's go now."

He didn't inform his apprentice when he came out this time, he just wanted to give her a surprise, he stayed here for too long, no matter how busy the apprentice was, he would hear the news, so he should hurry to Ru Ning to find his apprentice.

He took over his disciples and returned to the sect. Although he didn't intend to let Baolu be a thief, Ling Tianmen still had to pass it on.

Their sect's lightness kung fu and inner kung fu mentality are first-class, and this must be passed on, otherwise they will really be sorry for the master.

Confess to the chief guard, and when he turned around and saw that everyone was still, looking at him with angry or ignorant eyes, he turned the book in his hand to the side, blocking most of his gaze, and chatted with Zheng Da and Zheng Er from the air, "Zheng Daxiao, it is impossible for you two brothers to compete on stage with your martial arts skills. How about it, are you going to compete, or are you going to buy a set with me privately?"

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

"Of course not. I'm originally from the capital. Do you want it? The price is not low. There are many hand-copied copies in it. I heard that a single copy is worth thousands of gold. Are you willing to spend thousands of dollars to buy a single hand-copied copy?" Bai Yitang raised his eyebrows. Liao Yang said with the book in his hand: "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. If you don't want to fight, you can come to find them I buy it, either for money or for something of equal value."

"Of course, if you want to do business without capital like me, as long as you have the ability to steal things from me, otherwise," Bai Yitang sneered, "I am from the Jianghu. It's still the Jianghu, everything follows the rules of the Jianghu, when the time comes to cut hands and useless martial arts, everyone don't say that I am vicious."

Everyone was speechless, who would dare to steal from Bai Yitang?

This is the number one thief in the world.

Satisfied, Bai Yitang got up and went back to the room. There was an instant "bang" from upstairs and downstairs. Everyone whispered to each other and discussed with each other. Kaifeng did not seek favor, but had to spend so much money, which is really not worth the candle.

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

They can only follow Bai Yitang's wishes, if they want military books, they can either buy it with money or go to fight.

But there is so much money for fighting, let alone buying it with money.

As Bai Yitang said, a military book is like a martial arts cheat book, which is priceless and cannot be measured by money.

And this kind of art of war has always been in the hands of those Shixun and the aristocratic family, and it is rarely seen outside.

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

People who have already been confused by Zheng Jiabao's great grand plans have long been excited to get money, ready to show their skills in the arena, and after winning the art of war, they will start to learn the art of war so that they can make achievements on the battlefield and become princes and worship ministers.

A rational person is thinking about how likely he is to be able to learn the art of war after he has won it, and whether he can use it freely after he has learned it.

There are not all wars at the frontier, and he may not necessarily be able to win if there is a war, and the military exploits that win may not necessarily belong to him...

Hesitating, hesitating, he couldn't make up his mind, so he had to discuss with everyone, so the inn became more lively.

Talking will make you thirsty, and you will drink tea when you are thirsty, and most men prefer to drink alcohol, and you will have food and drinks when drinking, of course, we rough people prefer meat.

As a result, the voices of Xiao Er came one after another, one asked for tea, the other ordered wine, it was very lively.

When someone orders food, everyone can smell the deliciousness of the food, so more and more people order food, and the ingredients in the kitchen are not enough. Seeing this, the little beggars who have been lurking around the inn screamed, three or four 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 them.

The shopkeeper, who was running around in a hurry, was about to open the back door to find someone to help. As soon as he opened the back door, he saw the things on the five scooters, and they were like treasures immediately. When they came to weigh the bill, the leading beggar bowed and said with a smile, "Shopkeeper, we still have a lot of vegetables in our place. Do you want any more?"

"If you want it, hurry up and get it, I want as much as you get it."

"There are a few catties of tea and a few barrels of rice wine..."

"I want it all, I want it all," the shopkeeper nodded repeatedly and said, "Hurry up and get it here, you can wait for the rest, this wine will be available sooner."

The little beggar responded happily, and retreated with the big guy pushing the cart.

Sun Zhifu didn't understand how the imperial court would get involved in Jianghu affairs, but the head of the guard had an order, so he didn't dare to ask more questions even if he didn't understand. In addition, the fight was outside the city and would not affect the people in the city, so he even more so. I don't mind anymore.

Allocating a team of yamen servants and a team of craftsmen, it only took half a day to set up the arena, which is on a large flat ground by the river outside the city.

Weeds grow there, the grass is green in spring, and wild flowers are clustered in summer. It is very beautiful. It is one of the best places for gentry, girls and wives to go outing in the city. Now there are three big arenas built side by side. Rows of grass for everyone to stand or sit on.

The little beggars got the news early, and asked people to build a thatched shed around the lawn early on. In the shed, several long tables and benches were placed. The thick bowls were placed in buckets, and the stove was burning. With hot water, just wait for the water to boil, grab a lot of rough tea and throw it down, and it will be a pot of tea when the aroma comes out.

Pour it into a teapot and walk around the place with it. A bowl of tea costs a penny, a pot can hold 20 bowls, and a pot has six pots. Except for the tea leaves that are bought, the pots, pots, thick bowls, tables and chairs are all It was rented for a few pennies.

A pot of tea can pay back.

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

People in the Jianghu are informal, seeing that they are a group of beggars selling tea, they don't look down on them, on the contrary they take good care of them.

When ordering a bowl of tea, most of them will throw down a handful of copper coins, ranging from four or five cash to ten copper coins, which is almost dead.

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

The little beggar who was waved by Bai Yitang yesterday saw that the business in the tea shed was so good, she rushed towards Bai Yitang with tears in her eyes, the round-faced little guard was about to stop him but Bai Yitang waved to stop him.

The little beggar kowtowed three times to Bai Yitang, and shouted: "Little one, thank you for your life, and thank you for your kindness."

"It's because you are smart, don't thank me." Bai Yitang looked at him, stepped forward and stroked his head and said, "There may be many people in this world who will betray 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 gave Bai Yitang two more kowtows, then got up and ran towards the tea shed.

They have made a lot of money today, the vegetables, tea, wine and meat given to the inn are all Bai Yitang's capital, they can share 30%, but the tea sheds here are all theirs, no matter how much they earn, it is theirs.

If they make money, they can buy cloth and cotton, and then go to the mountains to chop more firewood, and they will be able to survive this winter. Maybe they will all survive this winter and will not die of cold and starvation again.
