Chapter 72: The Bet

"Who are you? How dare you humiliate our family!" Cui Shenghui's face was very gloomy.

Lin Xuan sneered: "Is this considered humiliating? I'm just telling the truth."

Wang Qingyun said to Cui Shenghui: "Brother Cui, he is Lin Xuan."

Cui Shenghui knew Lin Xuan's identity, and his face became even more gloomy, saying: "So you are Lin Xuan. You don't think that just because you got a county earldom due to good luck, you don't take our family seriously."

They hated Lin Xuan with all their heart. It was Lin Xuan's idea that forced them to provide food to the royal family for disaster relief.

It was just because they heard the ditty adapted from Lin Xuan's poem that they were so angry that they threw things.

Unexpectedly, the person involved would appear in front of them now.

Lin Xuan is not afraid. He has a title now. As long as he does not touch the family's bottom line, the family will most likely plot against him behind his back if they want to deal with him.

Unless absolutely necessary, the family would not send someone to assassinate him for some trivial matter.

The aristocratic family is not stupid. They assassinated a county magistrate in Chang'an. It's strange that Li Shimin let them go.

"You will also use the name of the aristocratic family to make trouble. Your ancestors have been completely embarrassed by you." Lin Xuan said mercilessly.

"Boy, you are looking for death."

"Boy, you are too presumptuous."

Wang Qingyun and others were furious, looking at Lin Xuan with murderous intent in their eyes.

"What, you want to fight?" Cheng Chumo and others quickly stood up.

Seeing Cheng Chumo and the others, Wang Qingyun's momentum weakened. He had no choice but to defeat them.

Even so, Cui Shenghui and the others don't intend to just let it go, otherwise if word spreads, the family will really become a laughing stock.

"Fighting is not for gentlemen, Lin Xuan. I heard that you have outstanding literary talent, and several of the poems you wrote are even sought after and regarded as classics. Do you dare to compete with us?" Cui Shenghui sneered.

"Compared to what?" Lin Xuan asked.

Cui Shenghui said: "Didn't you say that we are not worthy of being called gentlemen? We are better than the six arts of a gentleman."

The six arts of the gentleman: the first is the five rituals, the second is the six joys, the third is the five shootings, the fourth is the five movements, the fifth is the six books, and the sixth is the nine numbers.

Scholars in ancient times were familiar with the Six Arts of a Gentleman to some extent, and children from aristocratic families must learn the Six Arts of a Gentleman from an early age.

Don't think that the children of aristocratic families will only cause trouble. In fact, aristocratic families attach great importance to the learning of their younger generations.

If an aristocratic family was full of wine bags and rice bags, it would be impossible for them to be passed down for hundreds or thousands of years.

Although Lin Xuan wrote two good poems, they still did not take Lin Xuan seriously.

Besides, he only said that he would compete in the Six Arts of the Gentleman, and he didn’t say that he couldn’t find someone else to compete.

Lin Xuan thought about it carefully, and he was very confident in the number of shots on the Junzi Six Arts facade.

Doesn't it mean that horseback riding and archery count? With the bravery of Zhao Yun integrated into him, how can he still be inferior to them in horseback riding and archery?

As for arithmetic, that's no problem. I am a time traveler after all. If I can't arithmetic compared to the ancients, I might as well kill him with a piece of tofu.

If he can win three games, he will be invincible.

"Okay, let's compete. You decide the location and I will decide the time." Lin Xuan nodded and agreed.

"Lin Xuan, why are you comparing yourself to them? Don't agree to them."

Cheng Chumo and the others were a little anxious when they saw Lin Xuan agreed.

Lin Xuan gave them a reassuring look.

Cheng Chumo and the others didn't say anything when they saw this. They felt that since Lin Xuan was so confident, he should be somewhat sure.

Cui Shenghui was very happy when he heard Lin Xuan agreed, but when Lin Xuan said he would set the time, he said a little uneasily: "You shouldn't set the date until a few years later."

"Don't worry, we'll compete on the 20th of this month." Lin Xuan said.

The winter hunt will be held on the 15th, and he needs to prepare in the past few days. The winter hunt lasts for three days, and the 20th is just the right day.

Cui Shenghui was overjoyed, "Okay, it will be the 20th. I will send someone to notify you of the time and place."

"Then let's do it." After Lin Xuan finished speaking, he pulled Cheng Chumo and the others to leave.

"Wait!" Wang Qingyun shouted.

Lin Xuan asked: "Are you afraid?"

Wang Qingyun was furious and said: "You are kidding, how can we be afraid? How can we do it if there is no prize in the competition?"

"You mean you want to bet with me? Are you so confident that you can win?" Lin Xuan sneered.

"Don't worry about whether we can win or not, just tell us whether you dare to bet or not." Wang Qingyun said.

Lin Xuan asked: "What do you want to bet on?"

"If you lose, hand over the formula for the Immortal Drunk." Wang Qingyun said.

Lin Xuan originally thought that he would ask for a guest at Yunlou, but he didn't expect that he would actually have the idea of ​​​​Shenxian Zui.

"Then what if I win?" Lin Xuan asked.

"If you win, I will give you 10,000 yuan, but you have to win." Wang Qingyun said.

"Are you stupid or do you think I'm a fool? You want me to bet you on the formula of Immortal Drunk for ten thousand guan?" Lin Xuan sneered, really thinking he was stupid.

In less than a month, Shenxianzui has made no less than two hundred thousand guan. Although it has to be divided among five families, he has at least tens of thousands of guan. If he wants to gamble with the formula of Shenxianzui for 10,000 guan

, what a beautiful thought.

"Then what do you want?" Wang Qingyun asked.

"Your family bet 100,000 yuan with me, so I agreed. Remember, it's every family." Lin Xuan said.

There are seven families in total with the five surnames and Qiwang, but if you really count, the Cui family of Boling and the Cui family of Qinghe are one family, the Li family of Longxi and the Li family of Zhaojun are also the same family.

But since the Li family in Longxi became the royal family, there are only six families with the five surnames and Qiwang.

Lin Xuan wanted them to bet 600,000 yuan with him.

"this…"

Wang Qingyun couldn't make the decision for the other companies, so he looked at Cui Shenghui and the others with some embarrassment.

"Okay, we bet with you." Cui Shenghui stood up and said.

"Can you make the decision on their behalf?" Lin Xuan looked at Cui Shenghui up and down for a long time and asked.

Cui Shenghui said: "Don't worry, it's only a few hundred thousand dollars. If they don't participate, our Cui family will just take care of it."

Several other people quickly spoke up and said: "Brother Cui can make the decision, we bet with you."

They had long been salivating over the formula for the Immortal Drunk, but it involved three princes and one county prince, so they couldn't get started.

Now that they finally have a chance to get the formula for the Immortal Drunk, how could they let the Cui family have it exclusively?

The Cui family is originally the number one family. If they get the formula for the Immortal Drunk, they will never be able to surpass it.

Although these families are of the same spirit, they are also competing with each other. No one wants to become the first family.

People with the fifth surname and Qi Wang are wealthy and don't pay attention to mere money or anything like that. If they win, they will make huge profits.

As for losing, they never thought about it. Even if it was a book, it was just some money, and they didn't care at all.

"Okay, then I'll bet with you." Lin Xuan nodded.

It’s a game you can’t lose anyway, so why not bet?

Cui Shenghui said with a smile: "Brother Lin, it's so nice. We will send someone to notify you when we arrange the location. We will be waiting for Brother Lin's arrival on the 20th."

Lin Xuan agreed to bet with them, and Cui Shenghui spoke in a more polite tone.
