Yan Teng raised his eyebrows and looked at him amusedly.

"A big bet? General Li, if I remember correctly, you can't even take out a copper coin from your body right now. What are you betting on us for?"

Li Shaoyun gritted his teeth.

"This time, we won't fight alone. We will directly bet on three horses. We will win two out of three games. We will use the three horses that just played. The bet is 10,000 taels. Do you dare to take it?"

Ten thousand taels!

As soon as this number was spoken, not only Yan Teng and others were stunned, but also the children of the aristocratic families who were watching around them took a breath.

"Ten thousand taels of silver, is this Major General Li crazy?"

"Where can he get ten thousand taels of silver? Could it be that he wants to sell the general's mansion?"

Low voices of discussion spread among the crowd, and everyone looked at Li Shaoyun as if they were looking at a madman.

Yan Teng narrowed his eyes slightly and sneered.

"Li Shaoyun, you are just talking nonsense, how can you prove that you have ten thousand taels?"

"If you lose and can't get the money, is it possible that I have to go to the General's Mansion to ask General Li to collect the debt?"

Li Shaoyun's face turned red, he held his neck and shouted:

"You wait here for me, I will go get the money now. If anyone leaves, he will be my grandson!"

After saying that, Li Shaoyun rolled and ran towards the outside of the racecourse, and even almost fell into the open space because he ran too fast.

Not long after, there was a burst of noisy sounds at the entrance of the racecourse, accompanied by a crisp but somewhat shrewd shout.

"Li Shaoyun, you wasteful thing, stop here!"

Everyone followed the sound and saw Li Shaoyun grinning and having his ears pinched, trotting back all the way.

The person who was twisting his ears was actually a tall young girl wearing a red outfit, with a rather heroic appearance but an angry look on her face.

Gu Huai was stunned when he saw this scene.

He had long heard that Li Shaoyun's wife was a well-known shrew in Luo'an City. Could this be that sister-in-law?Yuan Ling, the daughter of Yuan's Trading Company?

"Oh, it hurts. Wife, please be gentle. There are so many people watching. Can you save some face for your husband?"

Li Shaoyun tilted his head and followed the strength of the woman's hand, while begging bitterly. There was no trace of the arrogance he had when he faced Yan Teng on the racecourse.

The disciples of the surrounding aristocratic families also talked in low voices, with expressions on their faces that they were watching a good show.
