Fortunate Young Gentleman

Why? "

Xiao Jue looked at Tangning with a look of surprise on his face and asked, "I have also been in the Yulin Guards. The Yulin Guards are definitely not that powerful. Why did we lose the first game on purpose?"

Tang Ning looked at him and asked, "Do you understand showing weakness to the enemy?"

"It's not necessary..." Xiao Jue shook his head and said, "Even the Yulin Guards are no match for them. They can completely crush them all the way. Now is the chance for the Knight Riding Guards to stand up."

Competition is just a way, making money is the purpose. Xiao Jue obviously didn't realize this. Tangning looked at him and said: "Anyway, this is a ploy, so don't worry about it. If you still have something to talk to Lu Ya about, go ahead... "

Xiao Jue thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll come find you in the afternoon."

Originally, she and Xiao Jue made an appointment to discuss tactics in the afternoon, but Xiao Jue never came back, and Tang Ning didn't see him until the next morning.

"Too much!" He limped out of the camp and gritted his teeth: "This crazy woman, I just asked her if she knew any good sisters from the generals..."

"A woman's heart is like a needle in the ocean." Tangning patted his shoulder and comforted him, "Don't worry about Lu Ya, the Knight Rider will be on stage soon..."

Xiaoqi Camp is the venue for this Sixteen Guards Competition. In the next nearly half a month, sixteen teams will compete here for victory.

The first thing to do is the group stage. The sixteen guards are divided into four groups according to the rankings of previous years. The four-to-two group round-robin competition requires six games, four games per day, and six days.

Zuo Xiaoqi Wei is the first match today. Their opponent is Zuo Yu Lin Wei, one of the favorite teams to win the 16th Guard Competition.

The Ministry of War has already announced that the first place team in this competition will each receive a reward of one hundred taels of silver, and the leader will receive a prize of one thousand taels. This is for these people, most of whom are from the poor. For people in the family, it is undoubtedly a huge sum of money, and the enthusiasm for participating in the competition team is far greater than in previous years.

Zuo Yuwei's people haven't arrived yet, but there are already many people in the venue.

Ticket sales for the group stage are not open to the public, but it does not prevent people from the Sixteenth Guards from coming to watch, including some dignitaries in Beijing and the generals' disciples, who can also watch from the sidelines.

Zuo Yuwei is led by Lu Teng. Logically speaking, a captain is not enough to represent Zuo Yuwei in battle. However, the status of the Lu family is not low. The children of the family are all promoted in the army, and there is no shortage of appearances. Chances are, once you have enough qualifications, you can easily move up to the next level.

Xiao Jue stood next to Tang Ning and finally couldn't help but ask, "Is it true that we can't win today?"

Tangning knew that he didn't want to lose to Lu Teng, so she looked at him and asked, "Do you want money or a moment of face?"

Xiao Jue thought about it and felt that money was more important, mainly because he no longer had much face in the capital.

He was silent for a while and couldn't help but said: "Do you think I owed them the Lu family in my previous life? How come they are always against me?"

Thinking of him being ravaged by Lu Ya all day long, and looking at his current state, even Tangning couldn't bear it. She shook her head and said, "Actually, it's not like we can't win today..."

Xiao Jue said happily: "Do you have any idea?"

Tang Ning approached him and whispered a few words, and Xiao Jue's eyes gleamed.

As a friend, Tang Ning sympathized with Xiao Jue's miserable experience and couldn't help but ask, "Have you ever thought about why Lu Ya always likes to beat you up? As long as you mention other girls in front of her, she will beat you up." More ruthless?"

Xiao Jue said with resentment: "Because she is sick!"

Tang Ning said, "We might as well make a bold assumption."

Xiao Jue said: "What are you assuming?"

Tangning continued: "Suppose she beat you just to get your attention, suppose she was jealous of those girls and was rude to you... Wouldn't it be easier to understand?"

Xiao Jue thought for a while and said, "Then she is still sick!"

Tangning followed the temptation and said, "If we assume that she likes you, wouldn't everything be explained?"

Xiao Jue was silent for a long time, looked at him, and said: "Your assumption is too bold..."

As a friend, Tang Ning felt that he had already exhausted his kindness and righteousness. Such a blatant hint..., no, such a blatant explicit statement that if he didn't understand, it would be understandable that the incense of the old Xiao family would be cut off from him.

He glanced at Xiao Jue one last time, waved his hand, and said, "There are still things to do at the Ministry of War, so I'll leave first..."

Xiao Jue stood there with a stunned expression, as if he was thinking about something. After a moment, he shook his head violently and murmured: "Impossible, this must be impossible..."

The venue for the competition was at the Xiaoqi Camp, and the people responsible for the management and refereeing were the Ministry of War.

Tangning walked over and did her usual inspection, and said hello to everyone in the Ministry of War. Not long after, Zuo Yuwei's people arrived.

"Master Tang." Lu Teng came over half an hour before the competition started and took the initiative to say hello to him.

"Sir." Following Lu Teng was Chen Zhou. This time he came back and was promoted. He was in charge of dozens of people and was now Lu Teng's deputy.

Xiao Jue walked over, glanced at Lu Teng, and asked, "What are you doing here? Do you want to bribe the military referee?"

Xiao Jue was naturally hostile to people named Lu. Lu Teng glanced at him, looked behind him and said, "Sister."

"You still want to scare me with Lu Ya?" Xiao Jue sneered and said, "Don't say she's not here, even if she is really here, I..."

Lu Ya came over from behind Xiao Jue and asked, "How are you?"

"I'll find you a good seat." Xiao Jue pointed to a stand in the front and said, "The view there is the best. I'll have someone reserve it for you. In the finals, that's a seat that only princes are qualified to sit in..."

After a long period of torture, there is no doubt that Xiao Jue has evolved a perfect desire to survive. The seat he took Lu Ya to is the best one except for the emperor's seat.

A real man should be able to bend and stretch, and this sentence is well interpreted by Xiao Jue.

"As a man, I won't argue with her." Xiao Jue glanced at the front and said, "Since she is here, let her see how I beat Zuo Yuwei..."

"Haha, beat Zuo Yuwei, when did the Cavalry Guard become so powerful?" Several figures came from the back, and the one in the front looked at Xiao Jue and laughed, "How to win, relying on your mouth, Xiao Jue?"

Xiao Jue frowned and asked, "Ling Feng, you have nothing to do here."

The young man smiled, "Haha, Captain Xiao is so powerful. What else can the Cavalry Guard rely on to beat Zuo Yuwei?"

Xiao Jue looked at him calmly and said, "Say one more word."

The young man folded his arms, "If I say one more word, what can you do to me?"

"You, come here." Xiao Jue waved his hand, and immediately a team of guards came trotting over, stopped and said, "Captain Xiao!"

Xiao Jue looked at the young man and said: "Go ahead."

The young man named Ling Feng looked at the team of guards, then looked at Xiao Jue, then he remembered that this was the Cavalry Battalion, Xiao Jue's territory. He slowly lowered his hands from his chest and whispered, "What a joke, you asked me to say it, I won't say it..."

He looked back and said, "Let's go..."

Tang Ning looked at Xiao Jue and asked, "Do you have a grudge against him?"

"No." Xiao Jue shook his head and said, "He is Ling Yun's younger brother. The people of the Ling family have never been on good terms with us."

Tang Ning knew something about the generals in Beijing. The Xiao family, the Liu family, the Huang family, and the Mu family were all declining nobles. Xiao Jue, Liu Jun, and Mu Yu belonged to one circle, while the prosperous families like the Ling family and the Lu family belonged to another. The actual situation of the circle was even more complicated, but the friction and conflict between circles had always existed, so that every meeting was not harmonious.

In front, someone behind the young man who had just confronted Xiao Jue said, "Master Ling, you don't have to be angry with Xiao Jue..."

"What a joke, would I be angry with him?" Ling Feng sneered, with a sarcastic look on his face, and said, "What Xiao Xiao, he is just relying on the favor of His Majesty. He is not even a man, it is better to be cut off and enter the palace... Ouch!"

As Ling Feng was talking, his feet suddenly tripped, his body leaned forward, and he fell hard to the ground.

"Who is blind..." He got up from the ground in a mess, looking at the figure beside him, and was about to scold, but stopped abruptly.

Lu Ya stood up from her seat, her face as cold as frost, pinching her hands and creaking her joints, and said coldly: "You stepped on my foot, and you dare to scold me..."

Ling Feng's face showed a trace of fear, and he argued: I didn't step on it, I was far away from you!

Lu Ya approached step by step, her voice became colder, "You dare to quibble..."
