Wei Jian really had nothing to do, so he ran over to ask a nonsense question, and after saying that, he stood behind Emperor Chen again.
Tang Ning's eyes returned to the field. The battle between the Xiaoqi Guards and the Yinqi Guards was still tense. In this moment, both sides had eliminated more than thirty people each.
This scene also greatly exceeded the expectations of everyone watching the battle.
"It's strange that the Xiaoqi Guards can actually compete with the Yinqi Guards. Could it be that they were hiding their clumsiness before..."
"It's impossible. They almost lost the last match against Dongmenwei. They must have performed exceptionally well this time."
"What's going on with the Yinqi Guards? They can't even beat the Cavalry Guards. I bet on them to win!"
…
The Xiaoqi Guards and the Yinqi Guards went back and forth, fighting inextricably, which affected the hearts of everyone in the stadium. Finally, with the sound of three gongs, a captain of the Xiaoqi Guards waved the Yinqi Guards' flag in his hand, and Group A
The last competition finally came to an end.
Although the battle was tense, Yinqi Guards ultimately lost to the Knight Cavalry Guards, and all 100 people on the field were eliminated. However, the Knight Cavalry Guards also paid a heavy price, and in the end, less than five people remained on the field.
Wu Langzhong cleared his throat, stepped forward, and loudly said: "In this battle, Zuo Xiaowei wins!"
The round-robin match of Group A is now completely over. Zuo Xiaowei won three out of three games and qualified first in the group. Zuo Yuwei also qualified after two wins and one loss.
As for the Dongmen Guards and Yinqi Guards, they were unfortunately eliminated and stopped in the top 16.
This result actually exceeded everyone's expectations. As a dark horse, Xiaoqiwei eliminated Yinqiwei, who was even more powerful, and advanced strongly. It shocked everyone's eyes and made many people...
Lost money.
Lu Teng obviously couldn't accept this result, but he finally walked up to Xiao Jue and reluctantly called "brother-in-law."
"Not bad." Chen Huang looked at Tang Ning, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "I'm looking forward to seeing what you can do with the Cavalry Guard..."
After watching the game, Emperor Chen did not stay any longer and returned to the palace accompanied by everyone.
Before Wei Jian left, he glanced at him one more time, his eyes meaningful.
"Brother Tangning."
Tangning was about to go back when she suddenly heard a familiar voice.
Fang Xinyue ran over from the side, looked at him and said, "I'll go back with you. Is the little lady at home?"
"I don't know either. You should go to the Tang Mansion and have a look." The old beggar would take her out from time to time. Tangning didn't go back last night, so she really didn't know if she was there. She shook her head and said, "Why are you here?"
"
She looked behind her and said, "Dad said there is a lot of fun here, so bring me here to have a look."
Fang Xinyue was followed by Fang Zhe. He looked at a box made of bricks on the front table and asked, "What is this?"
Tangning said casually: "Lottery box."
The Sixteenth Guard Competition was not only held once, for the sake of convenience, he had a lottery box built with bricks and placed it in the most conspicuous place where everyone could see it, lest anyone say that they were operating in secret.
Fang Zhe asked again: "Is this used to select the so-called koi?"
Tangning nodded.
Fang Zhe looked at him and asked, "What do you think..."
"No." Tangning refused without thinking.
Although Fang Zhe is Fang Xiaopang and his father, don't let him keep it secret. This is a matter of principle. Is he such an unprincipled person?
Fang Zhe shook his head and asked: "Do you think... is it appropriate that this gift does not win His Majesty?"
"Why don't they fit in..."
Tangning spoke without hesitation. Halfway through her words, she suddenly thought of something and her eyes widened.
At this moment, he thought of Wei Jian's glance before he left, and understood the deep meaning of his eyes.
This is not a fucking fair lottery at all!
If there is only one koi this time, it can only be Chen Huang!
This is not a question of money, but of attitude - in front of Emperor Chen, in front of all the court officials, all the dignitaries in the capital, in front of representatives from all walks of life in the capital, tell them that others are the chosen ones.
Son of Destiny...
If this is true, Tang Ning feels that he will only be a Zhonglang General in this life. No, it is very likely that he will not even be a Zhonglang General.
Son of Heaven, Son of Heaven, in the land of Chen State, only Emperor Chen is the son of God. Anyone who dares to recognize God as his father will not end well.
"Damn feudal society!" Tangning gritted her teeth secretly, her heart bleeding.
"Don't let Xiaoyue play too late, let her come back early." Fang Zhe glanced at him, put his hands behind his back, and turned to leave.
When Tangning and Fang Xiaoyue returned home, they were still feeling heavy.
The overwhelming advertisements have continued, and the koi must be smoked, otherwise the popularity that has been accumulated so hard will be destroyed in one day, and it cannot be secretly given to Chen Huang, otherwise even a fool will know what is going on.
What's going on, someone will stab them in the back.
For the current plan, he could only increase the reward, draw two koi fish, and give out an identical gift package. He lost ten thousand taels of silver all at once, which made even him feel distressed.
Moreover, he has not yet decided how to tell Tang Yaoyao about this matter.
Before that, I still have something to tell Lao Zheng.
Lao Zheng obviously had past events that he didn't want to mention. No matter how stupid Tangning was, she wouldn't really believe that he was a pig-killer in the army.
Chen Huang has a suspicious personality, and he already had doubts about Lao Zheng's help in training soldiers. Since Lao Zheng didn't want to mention the past, in order not to cause any trouble, Tang Ning took everything on herself.
Unexpectedly, this package actually brought out a lieutenant general.
After warning Lao Zheng, he climbed over the wall and went to Tang Yaoyao's courtyard.
"Where did you go last night?" Tang Yaoyao stood in the yard, looked at him and asked, "I went to the Ministry of War to look for you yesterday, and they said you left before curfew!"
Tangning stepped forward and said, "Don't rush this matter now, I have something important to tell you."
"What's up?"
This scene seemed familiar, and Tang Yaoyao's expression suddenly became wary.
As if she had thought of something, she approached Tang Ning, smelled her, her face changed drastically, and said, "Why do you smell like that vixen named Su? Are you with her?"
"What?" Tangning looked at her in surprise and said, "Where are you thinking? I want to say that the gift list we are giving out for drawing koi this time will probably have to add another gift..."
Tang Yaoyao looked at him and asked suspiciously: "Is this the case?"
Tangning nodded and said, "That's it."
"You and Su Hujing are not together?"
"Why did you want to go here?"
Tang Yaoyao breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand and said, "Just add more, it's no big deal..."
Tangning was stunned and said, "This is ten thousand taels of silver..."
Tang Yaoyao walked towards the room and waved: "Isn't it just ten thousand taels? I agree..."
Today, Fairy Tang was so generous and reasonable without asking why, Tang Ning couldn't believe it.
But as long as she doesn't care about it... No, even if she doesn't care about it, Tang Ning still has to care about it. Is it so easy to take advantage of him?
Not only was he taking advantage, it was basically a free prostitution.
Considering that the other party was the emperor, Tang Ning decided to write down the account first and collect some interest from his daughter before he thought of ways to recover the losses.
…
After the group matches ended yesterday, the top eight rosters for the 16th Guards have been released.
Zuo Yulinwei and Zuo Jinyuwei successfully advanced to the finals as expected. What was surprising was the intrusion of Zuo Xiaowei, who became the most eye-catching presence among the top eight.
The reason for this attention is that this is the first time in the past ten years that Zuo Xiaowei has entered the top 16 ranks.
If this news only caused a small stir in the capital, then when Tang and Tang suddenly announced that two koi would be drawn in this final, people in the capital who had already bought tickets for the final were once again excited.
Already.
This means that the probability of winning them has doubled, which for some people means that the possibility of having enough food and clothing for the rest of their lives has doubled.
This temporary increase in sales undoubtedly made Tang and Tang's businesses become conscientious merchants in the hearts of the people. Within half a day, the customer flow of the two major stores in central Beijing increased dramatically.
In a certain hall of the palace, Emperor Chen put down today's newspaper and said: "He actually planned to draw two koi carps. He is really generous. If I arrange for him to work in the household department in the future, I will have to remind him from time to time that money cannot be spent like this...
"
Wei Jian smiled and said: "Master Tang is a truly wise man. I believe he must have his own intentions for doing this..."
