Being forceful is not sweet, and emotional matters cannot be forced, so Tang Ning stopped trying to persuade Xiao Jue.
He looked at Xiao Jue and changed the subject: "Why did Lu Teng's sister beat you?"
"When I was a kid, I had a fight with Lu Teng. Lu Ya stood up for his brother and beat me every time he saw me." Speaking of this incident, Xiao Jue said with anger and regret on his face, "It's a pity that my sister died early, otherwise
That crazy woman wouldn’t dare to be so presumptuous…”
There is no love without reason in the world, and there is no hatred without reason. Xiao Jue can't stand Lu Teng and opposes him everywhere. It turns out that there is a historical reason.
And his sister is the former queen. If she were still alive, Xiao Jue could indeed walk around the capital.
"Lu Teng's sister beats you every time she sees you?" Tangning looked at him and asked, "You can't even beat a woman?"
"Ha, I'm a man. Can a man hit a woman?" Xiao Jue smiled disdainfully, looked at Tang Ning and said, "You think I'm you, not that I can't fight back, but that I can't beat her at all..."
Tangning looked behind him and waved, "Princess Princess..."
Xiao Jue shuddered and jumped up from where he was. Seeing that there was no one behind him, he was about to speak angrily when he heard footsteps coming from outside the door. He took two steps in three steps and hid in the tank again.
Princess Anyang strode in, looked at Tang Ning and said, "I asked the concierge of the Tang Mansion, and they said Xiao Jue has been here."
Tangning glanced sideways in the direction of the corner, shook her head and said, "I just came back from the Yamen. Maybe he came early..."
Princess Anyang looked at him, then at the corner, and walked over.
"Ah...it hurts!"
After a while, Xiao Jue was dragged out of the tank by her ears. She finally broke free, rubbed her ears, and said angrily: "Men and women do not kiss each other. Can you please stop touching her every time..."
Princess Anyang looked at him and said, "I finally asked Lu Ya to come out. Come with me quickly and don't keep her waiting."
"If you want to go, you can go." Xiao Jue looked firm and said, "If I don't go anyway, that woman will never be able to marry..."
Princess Anyang looked at him and said: "Isn't it because she beat you when you were a child? That's all in the past. You two are not young anymore. She has agreed to see you. You are a grown man, and you still
What are you doing so coquettishly?"
"I won't go!" Xiao Jue's attitude was extremely firm.
"I told her that you asked her out." Princess Anyang looked at him and said, "If you don't go, she might think you lied to her and chase you to the palace tomorrow to settle the score."
Xiao Jue thought about his one hundred men, and then thought about how he was beaten by the woman in front of everyone. He patted the dust on his clothes and said, "Let's go back, but we have agreed in advance that this time I will
I'm going to give you face..."
A man will often be beaten by a woman, either because he can't beat her, or because he likes her, or because he can't beat her but also likes her. There is no such thing as gentlemanly manners, and there is no excuse for not beating a woman. This is just what Xiao Jue gave himself.
Just a fig leaf.
Tang Yaoyao popped up from outside the wall and asked, "We haven't sparred for a long time. Do you want to have a game? I'll give you a hand."
"Do I need you to give up a hand?" Tangning stood up and said disdainfully: "Giving up one hand is nothing. If you have the ability to give up two..."
…
It is said that when a monk strikes the clock for a day, now that Tangning has arrived at the Ministry of War, seeing others busy while she is doing nothing, she feels a little uncomfortable.
He looked at the busy Wu Langzhong, took the initiative to walk over and asked: "Wu Langzhong, is there anything you need my help with?"
Wu Langzhong raised his head, shook his head quickly, and said: "No, no, since Lord Shangshu didn't ask Lord Tang to do anything, Lord Tang might as well read a book first, or take a stroll in the Yamen?"
Tang Ning looked at him. Wu Langzhong seemed to be really afraid of him. He put on a defensive posture when he spoke. After he nodded slightly, he simply walked out of the check-in room and walked around without saying anything more to him.
stand up.
The Ministry of War Yamen is not big. If you look at it, it is not as big as half of the Tang Mansion. Tang Ning walked around in a circle and returned to the Ministry of War. As soon as she stepped into the courtyard, she heard a quarrel coming from the front.
"Several captains, this competition has been going on all the years. You have already drawn lots, what else are you dissatisfied with?"
This weak voice, with a little lack of confidence, sounded like Wu Langzhong's voice.
At this time, in the courtyard of the Department of War, Wu Langzhong was sandwiched between sixteen big men, his face turned pale and he was trembling.
A man wearing armor frowned and said: "The left and right Yulin guards were drawn to the first round, what does this mean?"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone said: "We, the Yulin Guards, are the strongest among the sixteen guards. We are going to fight together in this first battle. Doesn't it mean that we are taking advantage of those losers?"
This man's temper was obviously more violent, and his voice was like a loud bell. Tangning could hear it clearly even while standing at the door.
However, his words were like poking a hornet's nest, and the crowd immediately exploded.
"Shit, the Yulin Guard is the strongest. Have you asked our Yinqi Guard?"
"We Jin Yuwei haven't spoken yet, why do you Yinqi guards interrupt?"
"What else do you Golden Feather Guards do besides patrolling the city? Do you have the nerve to show off here?"
"Habayashi Wei is amazing, how about we compete now?"
…
Tang Ning finally understood why the Sixteenth Guards had a small competition every year and a big competition every four years. It was purely because they didn't want them to be too busy.
In addition to their duties of guarding the capital, the Sixteenth Guards of the Forbidden Army do not have the power to control the armies of various states. What they have to do is to protect the capital and prevent any rebels from attacking here.
However, Chen State has been at peace for many years. Apart from unstable borders, there are no rebel forces within the territory. Even if there were, they would be quickly suppressed by the local government.
In this way, the Sixteenth Guards seemed very leisurely. If they didn't find something to do, they would probably lose even the last bit of their sense of existence.
But if they were allowed to compete, there would be many objections among the Sixteen Guards, mainly regarding the competition system.
Whether it is a small competition every year or a big competition every four years, they are all knockout matches, determined by drawing lots, and one group is eliminated in each game. In this way, it only takes fifteen games to determine the final winner, with a maximum of two games added.
The second and third places are also ranked.
A problem arises. The left and right Habayashi guards are the Emperor's guards. They are the strongest among the sixteen guards and are equally matched. If the two teams faced each other in the first game, they would definitely eliminate one team and compete for the third place.
They are not qualified to compete for third place.
Strong teams don't want to encounter them at the beginning. These people are often in the army and have hot tempers, so there is the current quarrel.
Seeing that the quarrels among the people were getting louder and louder, and several people had already started to take action, Wu Langzhong hurriedly advised: "You captains, if there is anything we can discuss again, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive..."
boom!
Among the random punches, someone accidentally punched Wu Langzhong in the face. Wu Langzhong immediately said "Ouch" and fell to the ground with a nosebleed.
Other officials of the Ministry of War stood in the distance, looking at this scene with a look of humiliation on their faces. Although the Ministry of War also has the word "soldier", most of them are civilian officials. Every time they deal with these ruffians, they always suffer some small losses.
, I have been harboring resentment in my heart for a long time.
The people in the Sixteenth Guards didn't care about Wu Langzhong who fell on the ground, but instead the quarrel became more intense.
"Everyone stop it!"
When the atmosphere in the courtyard was about to reach its peak, a voice came from the direction of the door.

I know it's wrong to break the chapter, so I will continue writing and there will be another update tonight.
