Chapter 50 Seventeen Gold Coins

Seeing Zhao Siyi looking for someone to summon him, Li Sui didn't dare to neglect.

He greeted everyone in the barracks, and then left with the soldiers who came to summon him.

Tonight's night is wonderful, with stars, moonlight like water, streamers flowing quietly in the camp.

A gust of wind blew by, and the lanterns hanging on the tents swayed gently, and rows of military flags fluttered slowly.

The patrolling soldiers walked back and forth within the camp, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

The soldiers brought Li Sui to Zhao Siyi's camp and stopped.

"Wait here, I'll go in and report to the general."

After hearing what he said, Li Sui could only obediently wait where he was.

"The general let you in." After a while, the soldier came out and sent a message to let Li Sui in.

This is the first time Li Sui entered Zhao Siyi's tent. Last time, he just followed Han Junxiu to the entrance of the tent, but did not go in.

As soon as he entered Zhao Siyi's tent, Li Sui looked around briefly, and found that the interior layout was completely incomparable with the tent he stayed in.

The floor of Zhao Siyi's camp was covered with gold silk carpets, and on the left side of the tent was a couch, which was covered with silk quilts.

On the right side of the tent, there is a private stove and tableware.It is estimated that it was used by him to entertain his generals.

In the middle of the tent, there is a rectangular table and several rosewood chairs.

There are pens, ink, paper and inkstones on the case table, as well as several rolled drawings, which seem to be military maps.

At this time, Zhao Siyi was sitting at the back of the table and wiping his sword.

"Hello, General Zhao." Li Sui knelt on one knee and saluted Zhao Siyi with his fists cupped.

"Li Sui, are you convicted?" Zhao Siyi said coldly, revealing a murderous look from his words.

"I don't know what is the crime of being humble?"

"Kneading raw eggs is your idea, but I tried it when I came back. It is impossible to crush eggs with human power. Aren't you cheating? You should be punished for cheating."

At this time, Zhao Siyi walked slowly to Li Sui while talking.

"Tell me, how did you do it? Did Han Junxiu crush the egg?" Zhao Siyi asked.

"I asked Mr. Han to quietly hide a small stone in his palm in advance. With a little effort, the egg can be easily crushed."Li Sui told the truth.

"However, the humble official doesn't think he's guilty. Mr. Han and Mr. Shi won't let it go if they don't compete with each other."

"The two are evenly matched, and it is difficult to decide the winner at once. At this time, when the two armies are facing each other, I think it is better to train the soldiers if I have this leisure time." Li Sui said.

"Bold, you're still talking nonsense when you're about to die." Zhao Siyi shouted loudly and put the sword on Li Sui's neck.

But Li Sui's expression didn't change at all.

"Hahaha. Don't be afraid in the face of danger, good." Seeing Li Sui like this, Zhao Siyi suddenly laughed and put away his sword.

It turned out that Zhao Siyi did all this on purpose.

"Get up. I have a difficult problem here. I wonder if you can help me solve it? If you can solve it, I will reward you a lot."

"General, please speak." At this time, Li Sui stood up and said to Zhao Siyi respectfully.

At this time, Zhao Siyi took out seventeen gold coins from his body, and placed them on the table.

"I have seventeen gold coins here. Now I ask you to distribute these gold coins among three people. The first person gets one-half, the second person one-third, and the third person one-ninth." Zhao Siyi said.

"I don't care how you divide it, but the only requirement is that the gold coins must be intact." At this time, Zhao Siyi added.

After pondering for a while, Li Sui said to Zhao Siyi, "General, please borrow another gold coin."

Zhao Siyi didn't talk nonsense after listening, and immediately took out another coin from his pocket and gave it to Zhao Siyi.

Li Sui took the coin from Zhao Siyi's hand and said, "Now there are eighteen gold coins in total, one-half of eighteen is nine, so the first person gets nine gold coins."

"One-third of eighteen is six, so the second person gets six coins."

"One-ninth of eighteen is two, and all thirds shall be divided into two gold pieces."

"Nine plus six plus two is seventeen. I just have one more gold coin to return to you, General Zhao." As he spoke, Li Sui handed the gold coin in his hand to Zhao Siyi.

"Hahaha, you are really clever. I will not accept this gold coin. Together with the ten gold coins on the table, it will be your reward for solving this problem." Zhao Siyi admired Li Sui's intelligence.

"Okay, it's getting late, you should go back to your tent to rest today."

Hearing that Zhao Siyi ordered him to chase away guests, Li Sui put away the gold coins, bid farewell to Zhao Siyi, and left the camp.

Although Zhao Siyi didn't say anything this time, Li Sui knew that Zhao Siyi would definitely come to him again soon.

Looking at the eighteen gold coins in his arms, Li Sui couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.

If I knew it was so easy to get eighteen gold coins, I wouldn't have spent so much effort to gamble with those people before.

The value of any gold coin here far exceeds the total value of all the silver taels I won in the camp tonight.

It seems that now there is money to buy Guanshi Zhang.

Li Sui walked for a while, and a group of people came to meet him.

Judging from their appearance, they should have returned from bathing by the stream.

Li Sui took a closer look and found that the nine buddies who had bet with him just now were among them, and Jin Shihou was also among them.

Except for Jin Shihou, the others who knew Li Sui just said hello casually and left.

After everyone left, Jin Shihou asked Li Sui, "Second Brother, what are you doing?"

So Li casually told Jin Shihou everything that happened in Zhao Siyi's camp just now.

"By the way, I just heard from your camp that you gambled with them and won more than 50 taels from them? How did you do it?" At this moment, Jin Shihou suddenly thought of the conversation at the riverside just now, and asked Li Sui.

"That. I learned that from a master juggler. In fact, I don't know what's going on. I only know that there is a formula. If you follow that formula, you will be safe."

"First, from left to right, you have to put three bowls marked with one, two, and three. You ask a person to randomly put things in one bowl, and then ask him to switch the positions of the other two bowls."

"If the positions of the No. [-] and No. [-] bowls are changed at this time, then the item must be in the leftmost bowl."

"If you switch the positions of the No. [-] bowl and the No. [-] bowl at this time, then the last thing must be in the rightmost bowl."

"If you change bowl number one and bowl number three, the last item must be in the middle bowl."

Although just listening to Li Sui's words, Jin Shihou still felt a little foggy, but at the moment he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.

Why is there not much age difference between the two people? Why have I never seen these weird things that Li Sui said before?
It seems that the past 20 years have really been in vain.
