Fortunate Young Gentleman

Chapter 450 of the main text volume of Ruyi Little Man: "A friend of yours?" Lu Ya looked at Xiao Jue, narrowed her eyes, and asked, "She clearly likes someone, but she always bullies him?"

Xiao Jue looked at her face. Based on his many years of experience in being beaten, whenever she narrowed her eyes, folded her fingers inward, and pressed her toes slightly, it meant that she was about to take action.

His lips trembled: "Actually, you also know my friend..."

Lu Ya suddenly smiled and asked, "Could this friend you are talking about be..."

"That's right." Xiao Jue nodded and said, "She is Miss Tang."

He looked at Lu Ya, sighed, and said, "You said Miss Tang clearly likes Tang Ning and yet she always bullies him. Isn't this a disease?"

One of Lu Ya's legs relaxed, her fingers no longer closed together, and she said, "One is happy to bully, and the other is happy to be bullied. There is no need for outsiders to comment."

"That's right, Tang Ning often said that hitting means kissing and scolding means loving. Otherwise, why would Miss Tang bully him instead of bullying others..." Xiao Jue shook his head and said, "Sit here for a while, I will help my father find it." Find chess pieces.”

In the study, Mr. Xiao was sipping tea leisurely. When he saw Xiao Jue coming in, he put down the teacup heavily and asked, "What did you come in for?"

Xiao Jue explained: "If I stay outside for a little longer, she will fight with me."

Mr. Xiao said: "If you could stay a little longer every time, I would have a grandson now."

Xiao Jue said in surprise: "Dad, you are in good health, why are you so anxious to hold your grandson?"

Mr. Xiao sighed and said, "I am in good health, are you in good health?"

Xiao Jue looked at him and said, "Dad, don't look down on me. I'll be fine a long time ago."

"Okay?" Mr. Xiao became energetic and said, "Take off your pants and let me take a look!"

Xiao Jue was startled, and subconsciously covered a certain spot. Although he had recovered, he still couldn't do such a thing as taking off his pants in front of others.

Even if this person is his father.

Seeing that he refused to cooperate, Mr. Xiao looked outside and said, "Here comes someone!"

When Xiao Jue heard this, he didn't care about covering up and ran outside.

Seeing him running past, Lu Ya stood up and quickly chased after him, saying: "Where are you going? Wait for me..."

Mr. Xiao stood up from his chair, his expression looking quite excited.

After a while, he walked out of the study, looked at a servant in the yard, and said, "Xiao Fu, come here!"

Xiao Fu immediately ran over and bowed: "What are your orders, Master?"

Mr. Xiao looked at him and said, "Tomorrow morning, get up earlier and go to the young master's room to have a look..."

…

Today is the first day of the Sixteenth Guards Competition. Each of the four groups A, B, C and D played a match. According to the arrangements of the Ministry of War, the first match was for the strongest team in each group to face the weakest one. Team, the result is naturally no suspense.

The Right Feather Guard defeated the Right Xiaowei, and the left and right Golden Feather Guards also defeated their respective opponents to prepare for the next game. Only the Left Feather Guard made no mistakes.

Zuo Yuwei, who was regarded as the strongest among the sixteen guards, lost to Zuo Xiaowei, who was at the bottom of the sixteen guards. It can be said that it shocked the jaws of countless people in the capital.

It wasn't until they found out the details of today's competition that everyone's doubts were solved.

Zuo Xiaowei, who was not strong enough, actually took advantage of the chaos and pretended to be Zuo Yuwei on the court, stealing their flag by surprise. This led to Zuo Yuwei's defeat not long after the start.

It is said that the captains of Zuo Yuwei jointly protested to the Ministry of War. Under pressure, the Ministry of War ordered that in future competitions, they were not allowed to impersonate their opponents, otherwise it would be considered a violation.

The dates for the Sixteenth Guards Competition have long been posted on the door of the military department, and the major casinos couldn't even wait for the group stage to end, so they offered various handicaps.

"It's his grandma's fault. Zuo Yuwei actually lost to Xiaoqiwei. Please pay for my money!"

"I want to report it. They must have faked the match. Those bastards like Zuo Yuwei won't all buy it and lose..."

"You didn't read the tactical analysis at the entrance of Tangrenzhai. In this competition, the Cavalry Guards used tricks. Next time, they won't be so lucky."

"Yes, the Cavalry Guard is the bottom among the four guards in Group A. Even if you win one game by chance and lose the next two, it's still useless..."

…

The biggest news in the capital today is naturally that Zuo Xiaowei defeated Zuo Yuwei in the big competition. Xiaoqi Wei defeated Yulin Wei. It sounds like a fantasy, but it did happen, and it made many people People lose money.

In the palace, Emperor Chen held a battle report in his hand and said in surprise: "Zuo Yuwei actually lost?"

Wei Jian said: "Back to Your Majesty, I heard that Zuo Xiaowei sent out a surprise force. Taking advantage of the chaos, he pretended to be Zuo Yuwei, went around to the rear, stole their commander's flag, and according to the previous rules of Dabi, lost the commander." Qi, even if he lost, Zuo Yuwei had a quarrel with the Ministry of War because of this..."

Chen Huangdao: "If you lose, you lose. Today, the Cavalry Guards can pretend to be Yulin Guards, and tomorrow the enemy's spies can also pretend to be. The imperial court does not raise these forbidden troops to participate in competitions every year..."

In the palace, Ling Yun knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Majesty, I am guilty!"

Chen Huang waved his hand and said: "Okay, didn't your Yulin Guards lose to the Xiaoqi Guards this time? It's not like Xiao Jue came up with this method. Tangning must be behind it. He is full of tricks." Bad... strange move."

Chen Huang thought of something and asked again: "I heard that he also helped train the Cavalry Guard?"

Wei Jian said: "He is a guard beside him. According to General Chen Zhonglang of the Cavalry Guard, he seems to know some military tactics."

Emperor Chen asked: "Is there anything wrong with this person?"

Wei Jian said: "The secret agents have already investigated. This person's surname is Zheng. He is a butcher. He has been selling meat in Lingzhou for more than ten years. He started a family in Lingzhou in his early years. His wife died a few years ago. This year, he came to the capital to treat his daughter. It seems that he knows Lord Tang. Later, I don't know how he became a guard of the Tang family... He should be innocent."

"A butcher who knows how to train soldiers is also a talent." The Secret Agent Department did not find any suspicious points in the investigation. Emperor Chen said casually and did not ask any more questions.

He paused, and then said: "I heard that he also made something... what carp?"

Wei Jian said: "Your Majesty, it's a koi. On the last day of the competition, they will draw one person from all the spectators on the scene and give him many gifts, calling him a "koi". This gift list is very heavy, worth at least ten thousand taels of silver. If an ordinary family wins, it will be enough to live a worry-free life..."

"Ten thousand taels..." Emperor Chen shook his head, his tone slightly complicated, and said: "Add the reward silver for the winner of the Sixteen Guards, that's twenty thousand taels. He is more generous than me..."

Tang Ning felt that he had a great advantage, that is, generosity.

The koi gift list in the final of the Sixteen Guards Competition was very generous and had long been spread throughout the capital. These days, people have come to Tang Yaoyao one after another, wanting to increase the gift list. Tang Ning just collected a suitable sponsorship fee from them and allowed the gifts from their stores to appear on the gift list.

In addition to being generous, he is also very fair.

Just now, he had righteously rejected Xiao Jue's request to designate him as the lucky fish. This time, the lottery was supervised by the Ministry of War, and he didn't intend to do anything fake. The store's turnover has soared in the past few days, and with the sponsorship fees from those merchants, not counting the ticket sales, their investment has been recovered, so there is no need to do anything shady.

At the Xiao family, on the dinner table, Xiao Jue was still upset about Tang Ning's rejection of his proposal just now. When he looked up, he saw Xiao Gongye looking at him and asked in surprise, "Dad, why are you looking at me?"

"It's okay." Xiao Gongye waved his hand and said, "Go back and rest early if you're full."

Xiao Jue didn't eat enough, but he felt very sleepy. He put down his bowl and chopsticks halfway through his meal and went back to his room to rest.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw his quilt being lifted up, and Xiao Fu was standing by his bed, looking at a certain part of his body with a gleam in his eyes.

Xiao Jue stood up suddenly, subconsciously reaching out to cover that part, and shouted: "What do you want to do!"

Xiao Fu ran out of the room quickly, shouting: "Master, the young master is up, the young master is up!"
