Cannon Fodder [Quick Transmigration]

"My lord, what are you looking for?" Yan Shu saw Wu Bai looking around, so he asked.

"I'm watching who seems to be the number one this time." Wu Bai replied casually.

"Can you tell?" Yan Shu was full of curiosity.

"Others may not be able to see it, but your son, I can definitely see it." Wu Bai said firmly.

"Pfft—" A laugh came from behind the three of them.

Wu Bai turned around and looked, when he saw the person he was thinking of, he was happy.

"Master, do you think I'm joking?" Wu Bai walked towards him and asked with a smile.

"That's not true, I just think the young master's words are more interesting." Xiao Zimo replied with cupped hands.

"Then I said that when the list comes out, the first name is the young master, but the young master still thinks my words are funny?" Wu Bai said with a smile.

"Hahaha, you are joking, my son, He Dehe can be elected as the number one." Xiao Zimo said modestly.

"Okay, let's wait and see." Wu Bai said confidently.

Seeing Wu Bai's determination, Xiao Zimo wanted to believe his words, but he knew rationally that this was impossible. There were still a few seniors in the academy who did their homework much better than him, and they were often praised by their masters. But I just got the teacher's mediocre qualifications.

Yan Shu looked at Xiao Zimo's clothes, and saw that the other was shabby, he said to Wu Bai in a low voice: "My lord, did you read it wrong, no matter how you look at it, this one can't be the first name, right?"

Wu Bai knocked him on the head and reprimanded lightly: "You must not respect Luo Yi first and then respect others."

Then he apologized to Xiao Zimo: "I'm sorry, the boy is innocent and offended this young master."

Xiao Zimo waved his hand, and said lightly: "It's okay, most people in the world are swayed by appearances, and it's rare to meet someone as clear-minded as the young master. Xiao Zimo, haven't you asked the young master's name yet?"

"Under Wu Bai." Wu Bai held his hand in return.

The two were talking, when suddenly the surrounding crowd surged up, pushing them together unconsciously, Wu Bai almost fell to the ground, but fortunately Xiao Zimo supported him.

"Perhaps everyone is so excited because the list is released." Xiao Zimo said.

Looking at the crowd in front of him, Wu Bai sighed and said: "It seems that we can't squeeze in at all, why don't we go to the side and wait, anyway, I already know your ranking."

Xiao Zimo looked at his slightly thin body, worried that the other party would be squeezed to the ground by the crowd again, so he agreed and protected him and walked towards the place where the crowd was sparse.

Yanshu and Yanqi looked at each other in the crowd, and they squeezed into the crowd again, they wanted to see if the young master had been picked.

"The two bookboys beside you seem to have squeezed in." Xiao Zimo said, looking at the crowd.

"Well, since they squeezed in, let's go to the teahouse and have a cup of tea, and wait for them to report." Wu Bai pointed to the teahouse on the right.

Xiao Zimo saw the crowd surging, but he couldn't squeeze in for a while, so he nodded and agreed.

The two didn't go upstairs, but drank tea in the lobby, where there were quite a lot of candidates like them.

Xiao Er enthusiastically brought teapots for them and poured tea for them, and Wu Bai took advantage of the opportunity to hand over the money for the tea to Xiao Er.

"Let Mr. Wu spend money." Xiao Zimo said.

"It's a blessing for me to get to know Mr. Xiao today. I invite you to have a cup of tea. I hope you don't refuse." Wu Bai said generously.

"Hahaha, it is my honor to know such a humorous person as Mr. Wu." Xiao Zimo said frankly.

In the teahouse, many students were discussing the county examination this time, and some people took the initiative to join Wu Bai and the others at their table, and said acquaintedly: "Presumably the two of you are also students who participated in the county examination this time?"

Wu Bai and Xiao Zimo nodded and said, "Exactly."

"We are having an Yaga, do you want to participate?" The man continued to ask.

"What is Ya Gambling?" Wu Bai asked curiously.

"The shopkeeper of the teahouse bet on who will be the number one player at the opening of the market. This is an elegant bet. Do you want to bet as well?" the other party asked.

"Oh? So who are currently on the board?" Wu Bai continued to ask.

"There are Chang Liang, Shi Jin, and Xie Ning. They are the students who are most likely to win the first place this time." The other party replied.

"Then I won't bet. No one I want to bet is on it." Wu Bai sighed helplessly.

Xu Shi saw that Wu Bai was wearing expensive clothes, so the shopkeeper of this teahouse walked up to Wu Bai in person, and said with a smile on his face, "I don't know who this young master wants to bet on? I am the shopkeeper of this teahouse. people to add."

"Then what are you doing?" Wu Bai asked.

The shopkeeper of the tea house hesitated for a moment, and quickly asked: "Then who is the young master wanting to bet?"

"The person I want to bet on is Xiao Zimo." Wu Bai said with a full face, as if the Xiao Zimo he was talking about was himself.

Surprise flashed in Xiao Zimo's eyes, he didn't expect Wu Bai to say his name.

All the students in the teahouse also heard Wu Bai's words, and they discussed it one after another.

"Who is this Xiao Zimo? Have you heard of it?"

"I haven't, I don't know."

"I seem to have heard of it. It seems that he is a student accepted by Mr. Li."

"Oh? Then how is his studies?"

"It doesn't seem to be noticeable. Master Li rarely mentions it outside. He mentions the one named Xie Ning more."

"So that's the case, then it's not very good."

Hearing these discussions, the shopkeeper of the tea house knew Xiao Zimo's level in his heart. He looked at Wu Bai with a smile, and replied: "As long as this young master really bets, then I will take what you said about Xiao Zimo." The ratio is mentioned as one to fifty."

Wu Bai tilted his head to look at him, and said in surprise, "What you said is true, if I bet 100 taels, would you give me 5000 taels?"

"If you bet 100 taels, sir, I will naturally give you 5000 taels, but the premise is that the Xiao Zimo you mentioned must win the first place, otherwise let alone 5000 taels, I will not refund the 100 taels you have." The shopkeeper squinted and smiled like an old fox.

"I don't believe you would be so straightforward, why don't you make a certificate?" Wu Bai hesitated.

"This old man has been running a teahouse here for many years, does your lord think that this old man will be greedy for your 100 taels of silver?" the shopkeeper of the teahouse said with his hands tied.

"100 taels is not enough. What I'm worried about is that you'll renege if you lose." Wu Bai had an expression that the other party would be reckless if they lost.

The shopkeeper of the tea house was irritated by his attitude, and with so many people around him watching, he also wanted to save face, lest others say that he, the banker, couldn't afford to lose.

As soon as he got excited, he said, "Xiao Er, bring a pen and paper."

Soon the waiter in the store brought a pen and paper, and the shopkeeper wrote two guarantee letters and signed his name.

Seeing how straightforward he was, Wu Bai took the pen and paper to sign his name, and put one of them in his arms.

The shopkeeper of the teahouse put away another letter of guarantee, and said to Wu Bai, "I don't know how much you want to bet, my lord?"

Wu Bai took out 100 taels of silver notes from his purse, then looked at Xiao Zimo, and asked, "Sir, do you want to make a bet?"

Xiao Zimo didn't expect that Wu Bai really planned to bet on him, but the other party supported him so much, and he couldn't refuse, so he took out a tael of silver from his purse and handed it to Wu Bai, saying: "I can only take out There are so many, I hope you will not blame me."

"It's okay, one tael of silver is one thousand wen, and you can buy a lot of things. You are already very generous," Wu Bai said in relief.

As soon as these words came out, some people in the restaurant couldn't help laughing out loud.

Wu Bai ignored their laughter, and handed the banknote and the one or two taels of silver to the shopkeeper with his usual face, and said: "These are all bets on Xiao Zimo."

Seeing that he finally handed over the banknote to himself, the teahouse shopkeeper immediately dissipated the anger caused by Wu Bai just now, and he happily put away the banknote.

He has been in a teahouse for many years and has been in the manor for many years, and he has a clear understanding of the situation of these students. Generally, the rate of students who are easy to get the first place in the exam will not be too high, and he will also fix the number of students at the same time. More than three, in this way, even if a certain student wins the first place, he can also take this opportunity to earn a lot of money every time.

From his point of view, Wu Bai's silver ticket is a waste of money. How can someone who few students know about win the first place?

"Is there anyone else who wants to bet? Like this young man, you can also name the student you want to bet on, and I can add his name here." The shopkeeper smiled complacently.

"Hahaha, the shopkeeper was joking, the students we want to bet have already been written."

"Yes, I don't know why the people who read the list are so slow, they haven't come yet?"

As soon as the words were finished, a bookboy came in. Seeing Wu Bai here, the other party's eyes lit up, Dudu ran over and said with a smile: "Master, that's great, you won!"

In an instant, the teahouse was silent, and the face of the shopkeeper was even more livid.

Finally, someone asked, "May I ask if your young master's name is Xiao Zimo?"

"No, my son's name is..."

"Yanshu!" Wu Bai interrupted the other party, then stood up and said to the students around him: "Sorry, I scared you."

That's what he said, but there was no apology on his face.

However, the shopkeeper of the tea house didn't care about him. He was now very glad that the other party was not Xiao Zimo. He wiped off the sweat on his forehead, and then asked Yanshu: "Then, have you seen who the first name is?"

Yan Shu was full of confusion, shook his head and said: "No, I just stared at my young master."

"My lord, you are the tenth..." Yan Shu looked at Wu Bai again and said excitedly.

Wu Bai quickly patted him on the head, and said: "Okay Yanshu, it doesn't matter what I rank in, we can talk about it when we go back, what matters now is who ranks first!"

Although Yanshu's words were interrupted, everyone in the teahouse already understood that Wu Bai was not the first name, and their restless hearts were suppressed again.

At this time, the waiter from the teahouse shop who went to see the list ran in and announced, "This time the first name is a student named Xiao Zimo."

Suddenly, the teahouse was silent again, followed by a loud retort.

"Impossible, where did Xiao Zimo come from?"

"That's right, a person who has never heard of it has become the first name, it must be using improper means."

"I'm going to the county government office to ask the adults to take out the other party's test papers to show justice. Who else among you is willing to go with me?"

"I do, I'm going, otherwise it would be too unfair to us."

The crowd in the teahouse was furious, and Yanshu's small voice of doubt was completely drowned out.

"I didn't expect you to be able to tell who is the number one."

Wu Bai looked at Xiao Zimo, surprised at him, and somehow he suddenly became the number one in the county test.

Soon, all the students in the teahouse ran away, leaving only Wu Bai and the teahouse shopkeeper and others staring at each other.

"Treasurer, where's the money?" Wu Bai raised his eyebrows at the shopkeeper.
