Tang Ning was discussing tactics with Xiao Jue for a while when she suddenly heard screams not far away.
They both turned their heads at the same time and saw Lu Ya beating the young man named Ling Feng. The people behind the young man retreated and no one dared to stop him.
Xiao Jue was stunned for a moment, then strode over and said, "What are you doing? This is the Xiaoqi camp, don't make trouble..."
He kicked the young man who was already lying on the ground several times, stood aside and looked at Lu Ya, and said, "Stop it quickly..."
Lu Ya said: "He stepped on my shoe."
Xiao Jue nodded and said: "Then we really should fight..."
"Stop!" A shout suddenly came from beside Lu Ya, and the next moment, Lu Ya's wrist was held by someone.
Xiao Jue took a step forward, opened Ling Yun's hand, stood in front of Lu Ya, and said, "What are you doing?"
Lu Ya looked up at his back with a slightly startled expression.
Ling Yun helped Ling Feng, who had a bruised nose and face, up, looked at Lu Ya, and asked, "I wonder if he has offended Miss Lu in some way?"
Xiao Jue looked at him and said: "This is not your Yulin Guard. You stepped on someone's foot and didn't even apologize..."
Ling Yun looked at Lu Ya and said, "Let me say sorry to Miss Lu on her behalf."
After saying that, he helped Ling Feng walk away.
Both have the same surname: Ling, but the attitude of General Zuo Yuwei is completely different from Ling Feng.
Lu Ya looked up at Xiao Jue and said, "You..."
"No need to thank me." Xiao Jue waved his hand and said: "This is the Cavalry Guard, and it is my responsibility to maintain the order of the competition."
"I couldn't beat Ling Yun, but you saved me." Lu Ya looked at him and said, "After today's competition, I'll treat you to dinner."
"Today?" Xiao Jue shook his head and said, "No, today I want to be with Tang Ning..."
"I have something to do." Tangning looked at him, waved her hand and said, "You and Miss Lu can go have dinner..."
On the other side, Ling Yun looked at Ling Feng, who had a bruised nose and face, and asked, "Why did you provoke that person from the Lu family?"
"Me, provoke her?"
The expression on Ling Feng's face was extremely angry, and he said angrily: "When did I provoke her? I just said that Xiao Jue was not a man, and she tripped me, and even hit me after tripping me. What does my scolding Xiao Jue have to do with her?
"
Ling Yun thought for a while and said, "Maybe you have offended her in some way, but no matter what, you should stay away from her."
Although the Ling family is not afraid of the Lu family, they are not willing to easily offend the Minister of War, let alone the only daughter of the Minister of War.
Ling Feng wiped the corner of his mouth, glanced in that direction, and could only secretly think that he was unlucky.
No one among the generals dared to mess with that lawless and crazy woman of the Lu family. He only hoped that she would get married as soon as possible and stop causing harm to others in Kyoto.
Preparations for the competition have been completed, and both teams are warming up in their respective camps.
Ling Yun is General Zuoyu Linwei, so he will be here today. The two generals from the Xiaoqi camp are not in the capital. For the time being, General Chen Zhonglang will make the decision.
"Lu Ya wants to treat me to dinner again today." Xiao Jue looked at Tang Ning, finally seeming to realize something, and said in disbelief: "Do you think she really has something wrong with me?"
Tangning looked at him and asked, "How about you go and ask?"
"How can I ask such a question?" Xiao Jue retracted his head and said, "What if she hits me again?"
He glanced at Lu Ya secretly and murmured: "How could she like me? She's not blind..."
In the eyes of the women in the capital, there is no big difference between Xiao Jue and Wei Jian. Perhaps the fact that he is handsomer than Wei Jian is a characteristic.
Under such circumstances, if you can still like him for so many years, what is it if it's not true love?
Xiao Jue sat on the sidelines and began to doubt himself. After a gong sounded, the two teams entered the field from both sides.
Wu Langzhong first read out the rules in front of the two teams. Even though no one liked hearing these, in order to reduce unnecessary disputes, these rules must be stated at the front.
First, the weapons used by both teams are made of wood. Even so, they are not allowed to attack people's heads, vagina and other vital parts.
Secondly, if the weapons are stained with white powder and white marks appear on the body, they will be eliminated, and someone from the Ministry of War will be on hand to remind them to prevent cheating.
Third, the Zuo Xiaoqiu Guard's head is covered with white cloth, and the Zuo Yulin Guard's head is wrapped with red cloth to distinguish between friend and foe. If the commander's flag is taken away, or all team members are eliminated, it is considered a failure.
These are the three main rules. After Wu Langzhong read them out, he retreated to the sidelines and sounded the second gong, officially starting the competition.
The Zuo Yuwei commanded by Lu Teng was the first in the last competition, while the Zuo Xiaoqiu Wei was the second to last. There was a gap of thirteen guards in the middle. Logically speaking, it should be a crushing situation.
But after the gong sounded and the competition began, Zuo Yuwei's advantage was not as obvious as everyone expected.
On the contrary, their formation was disrupted from the beginning.
Nie Qian, a doctor in the Ministry of War, was beside Tang Ning. Looking at the chaos on the field, he asked in surprise: "What kind of play is this?"
When two armies confront each other, they usually have formations. According to the characteristics of the enemy and their own advantages, they form square formations, circular formations, cone formations or wild goose formations to face the enemy. However, the Cavalry Guards are in a mess without any formation.
It can be said that they are just rushing forward.
Although this style of play makes the Habayashi Guards' formation somewhat chaotic, rushing into the Habayashi Guards formation, even if it disrupts their formation, is a suicidal act.
Even Lu Ya could see that something was wrong with the situation on the field, looked at Xiao Jue, and asked: "What's going on with your Cavalry Guards?"
Their position has one of the best views on the field. Many people are standing here to watch. Ling Feng, who had been beaten severely by Lu Ya just now, stood next to Ling Yun. He became more courageous and looked at Lu Teng.
He said disdainfully: "Is this still a Cavalry Guard? What's the difference between fighting with gangsters on the street?"
Xiao Jue glanced at him and said, "How about a bet?"
Ling Feng was stunned and asked, "What are you betting on?"
Xiao Jue said: "If the Yulin Guards win, I lose ten thousand taels to you. If the Xiaoqi Guards win, you give me ten thousand taels. Do you dare to bet?"
"I..." Ling Feng opened his mouth and quickly closed it.
Although he said that he did not think there was a possibility for the Valiant Cavalry Guard to win, ten thousand taels was not a small amount, and he would not show off his talents for a while. If the Valiant Cavalry Guard really won and lost to Xiao Jue's ten thousand taels, wouldn't he
Will he be beaten to death by his father?
"Don't you dare?" Xiao Jue looked at him and said, "If you don't dare, just bet a thousand taels. Do you dare to take a thousand taels?"
With so many people here watching, Xiao Jue has already said this. If he refuses to agree, it seems that he is afraid of him, and it also seems that he has no confidence in Yu Linwei, not to mention that one thousand taels is not too much, Ling Feng sees
Looking at him, he said: "Okay, I'll bet with you."
Xiao Jue took out a few banknotes from his arms and said, "This is one thousand taels."
Ling Feng looked at him, shook his head and said, "I didn't bring that much."
"It doesn't matter, just make a written statement." Xiao Jue pointed to the side and said, "There is paper and pen here."
Ling Feng looked at him and felt that something was wrong. He glanced below and saw that the Yulin Guards still had an obvious advantage. There were obviously more people wearing red cloth than white ones on the field. Only then did he make up his mind and write down the letter.
"Are you crazy?" Lu Ya looked at Xiao Jue and frowned: "Do you have too much money and no place to spend it?"
The Qiaoqi Guards faced off against the Yulin Guards. It was a losing battle. It could be seen from their chaotic fighting style. In other words, Xiao Jue's thousand taels were simply given to others with his own hands.
Xiao Jue looked at her and asked, "Do you also want to gamble?"
Lu Ya looked at him, clenched her fists angrily, and said, "Okay, just bet."
As soon as she finished speaking, three gongs suddenly sounded in her ears. One gong meant the start of the competition, and three gongs meant the end.
In other words, the competition on the field has already decided the winner.
Lu Ya looked slightly startled. Even if the Yulin Guards were powerful, it would not be possible for them to eliminate all the Knight Riding Guards so quickly.
"Won?" Ling Feng was immediately overjoyed and looked forward, only to find that the atmosphere on the field was a bit strange.
Not only on the court, but also on the sidelines, the faces of those watching were particularly strange.
Wu Langzhong stood there in shock for a long time before he came back to his senses, took two steps forward, and said at the top of his lungs: "In the first game, Zuo Xiao and Wei win!"
The smile on Ling Feng's face froze and he said in disbelief: "How is this possible?"
Wu Langzhong turned around and explained: "Several people from Zuo Xiaowei took advantage of the chaos and replaced the white cloth on their heads with red cloth. They went around to the back of the Yulin Guard camp, attacked the people guarding the flag, and took down the Yulin Guard commander's flag.
…”
Ling Feng stood there stunned: "Shuai, Shuai Qi..."
Xiao Jue took the note from Ling Feng and said: "The most important thing in using troops is to win by surprise. There is a saying in the art of war: good soldiers should go first, surprise soldiers should come after. Either first or last, the one who defeats the enemy..."
After saying that, he looked at Lu Ya and said, "Don't forget, you still owe me one thousand taels, please deliver it to my house before dark..."
