The Queen's Engineering Army

Chapter 97
"Since it's a gamble, I'll take it no matter how much it is. I still have to persuade you to think about it before buying. Captain Li is a big favorite." Wei Qi smiled wryly.

There is still a trace of pity in her heart, and she doesn't want Li Sanni to lose everything.

"Hua Rong's odds are [-] to [-], while Li Jinlong's odds are [-] to [-]. If you want to bet, bet big." Li Sanni didn't care.

"Okay, Xiaoqiang give the sign to Battalion Commander Li." Wei Qi nodded, and in that case, he ordered the younger brother in charge of the gambling table.

If you want to play, I'll play with you.

Su Lin actually wanted to play, but everything in the village belonged to her, and it would be too unkind to compete with them.

Su Lin would like to see who is more powerful, the rare general Hua Rong or the strongest recruited militiaman Li Jinlong.

Silly girl said that the recruited militia may also have hidden powerful generals. After all, the famous generals in history have also caught up with the historical trend.

Times create heroes, how many generals emerged during the Three Kingdoms period?
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were not many famous generals for hundreds of years. Could it be that famous generals appeared together?
There is a good foundation, but there may not be a stage for development.

With no choice but to cultivate, Li Jinlong may become a famous player with rare quality or above.

The game started.

Both set off with arrow baskets on their backs, each followed by ten others.

One is responsible for supervision, lest anyone cheat.

The second is to be able to carry back the prey they captured and then record it.

creak, creak.

Li Jinlong stepped on the snow wearing brown moccasin boots. The leather boots were a bit worn out, and there was nothing he could do. Unless they were allocated by the village, they could only be purchased with work points.

He also likes to drink, and basically most of the work points he earns are exchanged for alcohol.

Fortunately, the rabbit fur coat on my body is also allocated, otherwise the winter will be difficult.

He was searching for prey in the woods. The ground was covered with snow, and there was no trace of green in the forest. It was not easy to find prey in such bad weather.

This game not only tested the archery skills of both sides, but also tested patience and luck.

No matter how good your hunting skills are, if you are unlucky and don't meet your prey, you will still lose.

Like a patient hunter, Li Jinlong lay motionless in the snow. The white rabbit fur coat on his body gave him the best cover.

rustle.

A pheasant came from a distance, as if looking for food in the snow, and did not notice Li Jinlong not far away.

Quietly set up the bow and arrow, the movement is so skillful, breathing smoothly without making any sound.

There was only a whoosh, and the bow and arrow shot out, directly hitting the pheasant, and died after plopping twice in the snow.

"Captain Li is still great. I bought him [-] work points."

"Me too, brothers are waiting for Captain Li to bring you good news."

The militiamen behind came laughingly when they saw the prey was shot. Their task was to record and pick up the prey.

Li Jinlong did not speak, but a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he was sure to win this competition.

As time progressed, the results of the two battles spread to the village.

"Li Jinlong captured two pheasants and a hare."

"Hua Rong caught a pheasant."

The militiamen who followed brought back the prey the two of them had captured for statistics.

From the current point of view, Li Jinlong is temporarily in the lead.

"Li Battalion Commander, that little boy surnamed Hua can't win. If you don't want to gamble now, I can return half of your work points." Wei Qi chuckled.

Even his father couldn't regret it when he was at the gambling table. Giving half of Li Sanni's money back was Wei Qi's greatest mercy.

"Darkness is the end time, and it's only been a third of the time. It's too early to draw conclusions." Li Sanni gave him an angry look.

"Woman, I really don't cry when I see the coffin." Wei Qi sighed and shook his head slightly.

Su Lin was the least nervous.

No matter who wins or loses, they are all her subordinates. If Li Jinlong wins, there may be more surprises.

The game continues.

The militiamen who followed ran back and forth, bringing back the prey one by one and placing them in the open space.

It was obvious that Li Jinlong had more prey. If this continues, Huarong's hope is very slim.

This is a test of luck, but having said that, luck is also a kind of strength. On the battlefield, swords and guns have no eyes.

This method of competition is still very fair.

It was getting dark and Li Jinlong had an absolute lead.

Wei Qi was grinning from ear to ear. If Li Jinlong wins, if he pays out Li Sanni's money, there will still be a lot left over. This time it will definitely be a big profit.

Su Lin was wrapped in a rabbit fur coat and walked back and forth. Even though he was dressed so warmly, he still felt the biting cold wind constantly attacking him.

"The outcome will be decided soon." Su Lin muttered to himself, looking at the spoils in the open space.

"Haha, I won."

Many militiamen began to celebrate. It was getting dark and Li Jinlong's prey was far ahead.

"Look, they're back." Someone suddenly shouted.

I saw Hua Rong and Li Jinlong appearing in two directions at the entrance of the village, followed by several militiamen carrying the prey.

"Lord."

"Lord."

After Hua Rong and Li Jinlong entered the village, they saluted Su Lin.

"Well, let's see the result." Su Lin nodded.

Originally, Li Jinlong was much ahead, but in the end he followed Huarong as a militiaman and brought back a big wild boar. Now the outcome is hard to say.

"Weigh it."

Su Lin looked at the two piles of prey, and it was difficult to judge who would win and who would lose, since they were all similar in appearance.

"Here."

The villagers began to calculate the weight. This era has a special weighing method, which is quite accurate although it is more complicated.

After a long time of calculation, everyone else should wait patiently. The final result affects the winning or losing of their bets.

Some people gambled their work points for several months and waited with bated breath for the final result.

"Return to my lord, the result is out." Ma Huateng stepped forward and cupped his hands. He is the person in charge of the calculation and weighing.

"Say."

Su Lin said lightly, without extra words.

"Li Jinlong captured 785 catties of prey, and Hua Rong captured 787 catties of prey." Ma Huateng said slowly.

"What? Just two catties short?"

Hearing this result, the villagers exploded, and Captain Li actually lost, and he lost by such a small gap.

Many hearts are bleeding, and all work points are gone.

"Haha, I'm sure you're right to hear what my lord said."

Li Sannier is probably the happiest now.

The [-] work points were one to three, and they won [-] work points directly, winning all the work points of those people.

"Why, how could this be?" Wei Qi was dumbfounded.

Who would have thought that Hua Rong, who just arrived, was even stronger than Li Jinlong, the best martial artist in Dahan Village.

This time I lost all my money.

"I'm willing to bow down to you." Li Jinlong said in admiration to Hua Rong.

He is also a person who can afford to take things up and let them go. No matter how small the difference is, if he loses, he loses.

At the same time, I also admire Huarong very much. He has a well-matched opponent, and he will not be lonely in the village in the future.

"Where is it, it's just a fluke."

Hua Rong himself was a very low-key person and quickly smiled.

"Since I lost, I am willing to give up the position of team leader to someone more capable."

Li Jinlong lost this competition and was too embarrassed to stay in the position of leader, so he took advantage of the opportunity to give way.

"Don't dare to take it."

Hua Rong quickly waved his hands, newcomer, how could he assume such a high position as soon as he came up.

Being a deputy leader is no longer low.

"Okay, don't fight anymore. The official position is not determined by martial arts, but by your contribution to the village. Of course, martial arts is also a kind of assessment. Li Jinlong's contribution to the village is obvious to all. There's nothing wrong with it." Su Lin spoke earnestly.

"Here."

Li Jinlong quickly handed over his hand, feeling very relieved when his master said this.
