Chapter 55
When Li Huier and Yu Youniang saw Li Jing galloping and colliding with each other, the soldiers around the surroundings screamed in unison, cheering for their supporters. Seeing Li Jing hurt Feng Liang's white war horse with a spear, Feng Liang fell off the horse in a mess, Yu Youniang covered her eyes like a frightened little girl. However, Li Huier thought she was very brave and she had seen many competitions, and she felt that as a golden branch and jade leaf, she should show the royal style and always maintain a calm manner.
"Yongsanlang" Li Jing had a brilliant record and knocked down the arrogant Feng Liang in just one round. This resulted in countless people shouting and cheering. Feng Liang usually relied on his nephew of the Changshi and his direct descendant of the Feng family in Bohai, and was used to being arrogant and domineering in Penglai City. The people in the city usually dared not speak out. At this time, when they saw him beaten so embarrassingly by Li Jing, they were all excited and cheered for him.
Feng Liang's request for another battle caused a booing from the onlookers!
Li Huier was in the crowd, and her voice was much louder than many people next to her. Yu Youniang had no choice but to reach out to cover her mouth and calm her down. Yu Youniang waited for Li Huier, and looked at Li Jing, who was on the horse, looking down at Feng Liang in a look down manner. She was as if she was possessed. This was the first time she had seen such a passionate cavalry battle, so flying and excited. The senior brother who was once ridiculed as a bucket of rice was so cold and flying on the horse, and she swept his opponent down in just one round. She felt that she should cheer for Li Jing as excited as Li Huier, but her chest was fluctuating violently, and her heart was beating violently, but the enthusiasm in her heart could not be released.
Several soldiers from the left Yidu walked into the scene and carefully checked Feng Liang's blood-stained war horse, shook his head at Feng Liang. The war horse was blinded by Li Jing, and then broke its front legs, which was destroyed. Feng Liang ignored his beloved horse. He was like a madman who was occupied by anger, staring at Li Jing with his eyes tightly, shouting that he wanted to have another fair duel with Li Jing.
"This game cannot be counted. I can give you this horse spear, but you have to compete with me and have a real battle!"
Li Jing chuckled and ignored Feng Liang. This battle was an accident. The reason he agreed was just to slapped Feng Liang's arrogance before. Now that he defeated Feng Liang and won another horse spear, why should he compete with Feng Liang again? He stimulated Feng Liang, a playboy, and slapped his aura, so that he could understand that he was not a person who was angry, but to show his posture and strength. But everything was appropriate, and exceeding this limit was not a good thing.
"Feng Wulang, it's just a battle, why bother to worry? Could it be that Feng Wulang can't afford to lose even in a battle, or do you want to bear this horse spear? If so, I can return the horse spear to you, just pretend that it has never happened." Li Jing pretended to return the horse spear to Feng Liang.
"It's just a horse spear. Although it's worth some money, I don't care about this thing at all. If you are willing to compete with me again, I'm willing to take out another horse spear. No, take out two more horse spears to compete with you. If you can be upright, it's not like you just now, those two horse spears will belong to you." Seeing that Li Jing refused to agree, Feng Liang quickly proposed a more tempting condition. "Of course, if you are afraid of losing, I can promise you. Even if you lose, the horse spear will belong to you. I won't take it back. If you are a man, I will compete with me again."
Li Jing was a little surprised but not moved when he heard that Feng Liang was willing to take out two more horse spears to fight. Winning Feng Liang once made him feel a little hysterical. If he won him again, he wouldn't be crazy. Although two horse spears were valuable, they were not worth it. Now, he really turned against Feng Liang.
Li Jing didn't take two horse spears in his eyes, but when others heard this, they were amazed at it. Even two ordinary horse spears could be worth hundreds of gold, and seven or eight hundred stags of money was equivalent to the property of a small landlord and rich man in the countryside.
"New Book of Tang: Food and Message" records: The Tang Dynasty's regulations on mediocre was that "those who do not work are three feet of silk every day." "Tongdian" also says: "If all craftsmen do not work, they will collect mediocre. In the land of silk, there are three feet of cloth, seven inches and five cents of cloth." The meaning of these two passages is that when an ordinary citizen was paid for the labor force, they used money to collect three feet of silk every day. Three feet of silk every day, which is basically the wages that the people of the Tang Dynasty could earn in a day.
How much is three-foot silk? A piece of silk is worth 800 yuan. If you count, one foot of silk is worth 20 yuan, and three-foot silk is 60 yuan. It can be said that the standard wage for ordinary people in the Tang Dynasty to work hard was 60 yuan per day, 1,800 yuan per month, and 21,600 yuan a year. In fact, this is just a calculation. In fact, it is impossible for ordinary people to really earn 60 yuan every day.
A family of five people will have to pay 200 coins for rice. Even if the family only eats 2 liters of rice a day, it will cost 40 cents. If you still have to buy some salt, for example, it will be a one-fold. According to the "New Book of Tang Dynasty: Food and Memorandum Journal", "Salt is a hundred cents per bucket of salt." Another monday is to add two taxes, clothes, shoes and other expenses, if the family does not have other labor income, even if they spend 60 cents a day, they will barely make a living.
800,000 yuan can only be earned if an ordinary person does not eat or drink for 13,333 days. This is a huge fortune, and it can make people feel moved when they hear it.
Not only were the ordinary people tempted, but Lin Wei was also moved by the coach of the referee. Lin Wei was able to seize the spear with empty hands, because he was also a master of horse spear. As a master of horse spear, Lin Wei, who was once an officer of the Shence Army, also had a horse spear. However, after offending his boss and something happened, he sold his family property and even sold his and Lin Wu's war horses and horse spears. In the end, he ended the matter and came to Dengzhou. A master of horse spears had no horse spears, which made Lin Wei's brothers very helpless.
Now, with two horse spears in front of him, how could he not be moved? He wanted to go up and face the battle, but he also knew that Feng Liang would definitely not fight him. He had previously grabbed Feng Liang's spear with empty hands, and as long as Feng Liang had some brains, he knew that he could not beat Lin Wei.
He looked at Li Jing, and finally couldn't help but walk to Li Jing and whispered: "Sanlang, these are two horse spears, how about you fight him again?"
Li Jing looked at Lin Wei, and saw that his eyes were always staring at the horse spear that he had just obtained, and then he understood a little. He didn't want to fight Feng Liang because he was unwilling to break up with the Feng family. But now Lin Wei said that he was unwilling to refuse directly. Both Lin Wei and his brothers have real skills, and their relationship is pretty good now. Li Jing has been trying to find a way to win over these two brothers. If he could use two horse spears to get close to the two brothers, the deal would be impossible to tell whether it was a profit or a loss.
Li Jing was hesitating, but suddenly saw Princess Xihe and Junior Sister Yu coming over.
"Feng Wulang is so proud. He can only use two horse spears at one move. We can't help but want to mix up such a lively scene. I have an idea. Since the competition just now is so exciting, why not have another one? Today I will open a handicap to help everyone have fun. Li Sanlang plays Feng Wulang, Li Sanlang will pay one thirty, and Feng Wulang will pay one thirty. Anyone who is interested can place a bet. I will accept it all." Li Huier seemed a little afraid that the scene was not lively enough. She actually opened the handicap in public and wanted to bet on the banker. However, the odds of this were surprising. Li Jing lost thirty, but Feng Liang was accompanying thirty. Everyone knew Li Jing's performance just now. The winning rate was very high, but if Li Jing won, he would only pay one thirty. Feng Liang was obviously at a disadvantage, but the odds were as high as one thirty.
The market and odds opened, which attracted hundreds of people watching more enthusiastic. One penalty was thirty, and one string of money was bet on Feng Liang. If you win, it would be 3,000 yuan.
At that moment, countless people came to bet, most of them were going for Feng Liang's good odds. On the contrary, not many people bet on Li Jing's side. Li Huier did not expect that it would be so enthusiastic. She immediately called the follower and the coachman to go to the market and start the market.
The warm scene over there made Li Jing feel a little amused. Before he agreed to fight Feng Liang again, the princess and the others had already started a bet. However, Feng Liang was even more angry, with a black face. He paid thirty, which was just slapping him in the face. But he also knew the origin of Princess Xihe and Yu Youniang. He was unwilling to mess with these two people, so he could only hold his breath in his heart.
Seeing that only Xiao Shitou begged him to win, Li Jing smiled and said, "Beat me, Yin Feng 150 taels!"
Holding the pen to register, Li Huier, who was very busy, immediately registered with a smile: "Li Sanlang begs himself to win, one hundred and fifty taels, one for thirty."
If you pay one for thirty, even if Li Jing wins, you can only win five taels of silver. Although the odds are a bit tricky, since you are being stolen by this group of people, Li Jing simply sacrifices his life. He bets himself with one hundred and fifty taels, and actually knows that since he can't have both fish and bear's paw, he doesn't have to worry about Feng Liang. He bets himself with so much money, and he is confident that Feng Liang will be angry and will also bet himself with money. What he wants is this effect. This time, he must let Feng Liang get blood out once, so that he knows that the world is high and the earth is thick. Although the Feng family is strong, Li Jing also has a backer. Tolerance is not Li Jing's style, and he will never be ruthless when it is time to take action.
