"However, whether or not your wine is better than the tribute wine, it will be judged by the people present. If more than half of them think it is better than the tribute wine, it will be considered your win!”
Seeing that he was full of confidence, Li Er, who was afraid of being tricked, quickly added a few words.
There was no other way. This kid was full of tricks. He had to be on guard!
When the time came, it was clearly a low-quality wine. If he insisted that it was a good wine, it would be easy to argue!
Therefore, he had to state his conditions in advance so that this kid wouldn't pester him when he lost!
Of the seven people present, he and Zhangsun Wuji would never help this kid!
As for Yuchi Gong, Cheng Yaojin, Cheng Chumo, and Cheng Chubi, although they were all simple-minded, they were straightforward and didn't dare to cover up for this kid!
As for his daughter…
Sigh!
A grown woman could not be kept. He no longer had any hope!
However, her words alone could not help this kid much!
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Seeing Li Er helping him, Zhangsun Wuji was quite touched!
Fortunately, His Majesty was wise and formulated the rules for the selection of the good and bad in advance. Otherwise, with this kid's sharp teeth, wouldn't he be able to turn black into white? Why didn't he say that the inferior was good?
Now, the quality of the wine was up to everyone present. This kid's words did not count!
In other words, even if the wine that this kid took out was slightly better than the tribute wine, he still wouldn't win!
As long as His Majesty said that the two were similar, how could the others dare to disagree?
Moreover, how could there be a wine better than tribute wine in the world?
The best wine in the world came from Chang 'an, and the best wine in Chang' an was from Cui Family!
Especially the tribute wine that Cui Clan brewed for the royal family alone, which was the best in the world. It was hard to find a good wine that could match it!
In other words, as long as the two wines were similar, he would be able to win!
However, would this kid agree? After all, everyone present was the emperor's courtiers. If they were not fully confident, this was almost a gamble that they would lose!
"This…!"
As expected, what he was afraid of came true. After hearing that everyone would be the judge, this kid immediately hesitated. It was obvious that he was afraid of gambling.
If he didn't agree, at most, he would be punished for deceiving the emperor and insulting the important officials. At most, he would be punished and would still be attached to the horse in the future!
However, if he lost the bet, not only could he be punished for both crimes, but he could also be deprived of the right to ride a horse. It could be said to be killing two birds with one stone.
"Could it be that you're lying to the emperor and can't bring out the so-called good wine?”
Zhangsun Wuji said provocatively.
If this kid shook his head and objected, it would ruin his good plan!
"Alright…!"
However, his goading seemed to be effective. Li Xuan hesitated for a moment before finally agreeing " reluctantly ". Only then did Zhangsun Wuji relax.
"By the way, do you guys want to bet? I'm the banker…?"
However, what puzzled him was that after this kid agreed, he did not go to get the wine. Instead, he set up a gambling table?
How much of a heart did he have to be so calm?
"I bet ten strings on you, brother!”
"I'll bet ten strings on you too!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chubi walked over. They each took out ten strings of money and handed them to him.
"Brother, we can only support you this much!”
After the two of them approached, they whispered into Li Xuan's ear.
They were purely impressed by Li Xuan's courage. Despite knowing that they had lost to him, they still offered him ten strings of money as a disguised form of support!
Zhangsun Wuji and the others did not dare to curse, but they still had the courage to show their support to the person who scolded them!
Zhangsun Wuji was exasperated, and the emperor was gnashing his teeth. This was simply a hero, a role model for the younger generation!
"Can't you change the bet?"
However, to their surprise, they were kind enough to take the initiative to send money to show their support. However, this kid seemed to be ungrateful and actually asked if they could change the bet?
Did I hear wrongly?
The two of them scratched their heads, their faces full of suspicion.
"Forget it, go to the side…"
Seeing that the two of them were silent, Li Xuan turned his gaze to Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong." Dukes, are you interested in taking a gamble? If you bet on it, I'll pay double…!”
"Good! I'll bet…!"
Cheng Yaojin, who had always liked to gamble, suddenly became interested. He took out his pocket and was about to bet on Zhangsun Wuji.
However, when he saw the copper pot on the table, he stopped in his tracks!
If he won, Li Xuan would have to compensate him quite a bit. If this kid bore a grudge, it would be difficult for him to eat hotpot again in the future!
"Forget it, if nephew can take out some good wine and let me have a taste, I won't bet!”
Old Cheng waved his hand and finally gave up on the idea of betting.
"Duke of E, do you want to bet? If you bet on it, you'll have to pay double!"
Li Xuan's gaze landed on Yuchi Gong again, thinking to himself that it was best to scam him as much as possible!
