Chapter 49: The Tenth Day Arrives
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
The entire Liangzhou Garrison was eagerly awaiting this lively gambling event. The majority of people were betting on Wang Ba to win, while a small group stood with He Yan. Occasionally, as they walked by, you could hear supporters of He Yan engaged in debates with those on the other side: “What’s He Yan up to? To knowingly do the impossible is the mark of a great man!”
Unintentionally overhearing this, He Yan thought, “…”
However, no matter what they say, the bets reveal people’s true intentions. The total bet on He Yan’s victory consists of only three pieces of dry bread, Xiao Mai, Shitou, and Hong Shan each contributing one piece.
Apart from them, what surprised He Yan was an unknown person who placed a bet of ten pieces of beef jerky on him.
“Who’s the big spender?” Xiao Mai pondered. “To bet so much on Brother Ah He, they must be really wealthy.”
“Not only wealthy, but also insightful,” He Yan thought. Finally, someone clever had emerged in the camp.
Hong Shan glanced at He Yan. “It’s a shame their brain is messed up.”
“Big Brother Shan, you can’t say that. This person must really admire Brother Ah He and is secretly supporting him. If I had that much beef jerky, I would also place a bet on Brother Ah He.”
“Okay, a little gambling can lift spirits, but don’t take it too seriously.” He Yan took a sip of water from a canteen and stood up. “I’m heading to the training ground now to stretch my muscles.”
Shitou asked her, “Are you really going to do this?” His eyes were filled with doubt.
“I’ve said it before, I’ve always had good luck,” He Yan smiled.
When she arrived at the training ground, she noticed that quite a few people had already gathered around Instructor Liang. Upon seeing He Yan, someone shouted excitedly, “He Yan is here!” In an instant, a large crowd rushed over.
“Where is the person? Where is the person?”
“He actually didn’t run away, he really came!”
“Quick, have you all prepared the dry bread?”
He Yan: “…”
This star-studded treatment was somewhat unusual for her. Instructor Liang looked on coldly. While private gambling was strictly prohibited in the camp, they were using dry bread, and given the circumstances, the Head Instructor didn’t seem inclined to intervene. As for Liang Ping, he didn’t say much either. Moreover, he was also caught up in the excitement and wanted to see the outcome.
After all, people inherently had a gambling streak to some extent.
Just as He Yan was about to walk over, she noticed a youth in licorice yellow attire standing beside Liang Ping. The youth had rosy lips, pearly white teeth, and a radiant appearance, looking quite familiar. He Yan felt like she had seen him somewhere before and looked at him.
When the youth saw her gaze, he flashed a big smile and approached her enthusiastically. “So, you’re He Yan!”
Was this person here to see her as well? However, judging by the youth’s attire, he didn’t seem like a new recruit in the camp, nor did he appear to be an instructor. He was different from the distinguished young men of noble families in the capital.
“I’ve heard about you for a while. I really admire you! I want to be sworn brothers with you. From now on, we’ll be brothers, how about it?” he said.
