The 16th Guards Competition was the second round of the eight-to-four competition. As soon as Tangning arrived at the Xiaoqi Camp, she heard about the fight between Xiao Jue and Ling Feng and others yesterday.
It is said that Ling Feng invited more than a dozen familiar disciples of the generals yesterday, some of whom were particularly good at their skills. However, although their formation was strong, they were defeated and fled in the end.
Xiao Jue only invited one person, Ling Feng's father.
According to insiders, when General Ling beat Ling Feng yesterday, the rest of the people first retreated dozens of steps. After seeing the scene of General Ling beating Ling Feng, they fled in all directions. In this fight, Xiao Jue relaxed
The victory was achieved.
No one knows what happened after that. They only heard that Ling Feng was imprisoned for a month and he might not be released until the next year.
When Tangning heard the news, she almost didn't react.
He didn't understand until this moment that what Xiao Jue meant by outwitness was actually calling the parents in a fight. With his seniority, all the current backbone members of the general family, except Lu Ding, had to give him face.
However, this method is effective, but it is a bit too shameless. I don’t know who he learned it from. He can do things like calling his parents in a fight. He is the only one among the disciples of the generals.
As the saying goes, those who are close to vermillion are red and those who are close to ink are black, but Tang Ning also believes that one can emerge from the mud without staining. Although Xiao Jue is shameless and shameless, as his friend, he will not be affected by him.
There was nothing unexpected about the next three games.
In the first two games, both Right Yuwei and Zuo Jinyuwei easily defeated their opponents. The only interesting match was the match between Right Jinyuwei and Zuo Yuwei.
According to the rules set by the Ministry of War, in the competition, we will try our best to avoid strong encounters. However, Zuo Yuwei ranks second in points in Group A. Strictly speaking, he is a "weak team", and he is ranked second in Group D.
A golden feather guard on the right confronts him, it's natural.
The result of this competition was that the left feather guard defeated the right golden feather guard and won this crucial victory.
Since then, the top four of the Sixteen Guards Competition have been announced.
The left and right Feather Guards both persisted until the end, the left and right Golden Feather Guards were eliminated, and the Right Golden Feather Guards were eliminated, replaced by the Zuo Xiao Cavalry Guards.
In the next semi-finals, Zuo Xiaowei's opponent was Youyu Linwei, and only one team was left among Zuo Jinyuwei and Zuoyu Linwei.
According to inertial thinking, Zuo Xiaowei will naturally not be the opponent of You Yuwei, but along the way, they have created too many miracles, and no one can guarantee whether there will be a next time.
Even the powerful right feather guard immediately conducted a three-day closed special training after the last round of competition, and it was obvious that he had regarded Zuo Xiaowei as his real opponent.
Zuo Xiaowei is also determined to win the next game. The hundred people participating in the competition were led by a captain for special training in the mountains. This is their chance to turn around, and it is also an opportunity to wash away the shame of being at the bottom of the Sixteenth Guards ranking.
It's already the middle of the twelfth lunar month, and the atmosphere of the New Year has begun to start outside. Xiaoru and Xiaoyi have also begun to prepare for the New Year's goods. Tangning has been busy with the Sixteenth Guards Competition. Regarding the New Year's Day, for the time being,
Don't feel anything yet.
All the women in the family had gone out, and he was sitting in the pavilion in the yard, feeling a little unmotivated. He always felt that something was missing around him after returning to Beijing this time.
After thinking about it carefully, I realized that something was really missing. Those who used to cause trouble for him seemed to have stopped.
"Do you think those people in the Tang family are fools?" Xiao Jue sat opposite him, glanced at him, and said, "They are disgraced and embarrassed every time they go against you. They are always the unlucky ones.
Unless they are really stupid, they will cause trouble for you again and again."
Xiao Jue paused and then said: "What's more, you are now a popular person in His Majesty's eyes. Not to mention the Six-Ministry Tour, first you were sent as an envoy to Chu State, and now you are asked to prepare for the Sixteenth Guards Competition. Even pigs can't see it.
Your Majesty is deliberately cultivating you, and they will not easily provoke you."
What Xiao Jue said actually makes some sense. When he first arrived in the capital, he would encounter trouble even if he went out to eat. As he stayed in the capital for a longer period of time and his official position rose one after another, these small troubles gradually disappeared.
However, this does not rule out the possibility that some people are accumulating strength and want to take advantage of one day when he is not paying attention to use a big move to hit him in one hit and catch him off guard.
The best defense is actually offense. It is not easy to overthrow a deeply entrenched family. Unless the Tang family really made Huang Chen intolerable, he would not watch himself do that. Tangning originally
There is still a breakthrough, but now even Tang Zhao, the stupid fish, has escaped. For a while, he has no good solution.
Tang family.
At the dinner, the atmosphere became dull as usual.
Of course this is partly due to the Tang family's tutoring, but more importantly, Tang Zhao offended a small number of the generals in the capital, which made the Tang family quite embarrassed in this matter. Even if they were surrounded by people acting wildly at the door,
I can only swallow this breath.
The generals have always been a good friend of the Tang family and King Duan. Although they dare not let them take refuge, it is beneficial and harmless to establish some superficial connections.
There are many powerful people standing behind King Kang, and his relationship with certain generals is naturally better than that of King Duan. Over the years, the Tang family has made many efforts, but has not closed this gap, and now it has offended so many people at once...
Tang Qi looked at an empty seat opposite and said gloomily: "This traitor!"
Tang Jing sat below, raised his head, and said, "This matter cannot be entirely blamed on him. He was probably set up by Tang Ning and Xiao Jue together. After this incident, Ling Feng and the Prince of Dian will probably also bear their grudges."
Up."
Tang Qi frowned at the mention of that name.
Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that Tang Ning was no longer the same Tang Ning who had just arrived in Beijing. He was now a doctor in the Ministry of War and a favorite minister of the emperor. The Tang family had missed the best opportunity.
The thorn that was just stuck in the flesh has now penetrated deep into the bone marrow.
"I heard that on the last day of the Sixteenth Guards Competition, he will select two people to give out two big gifts in front of everyone..." Tang Jing thought for a moment and said, "If only at that time..."
Tang Huai glanced at him and said, "You don't need to do anything."
Tang Jing originally wanted to do something about the lottery, so that Tang Ning's reputation would be discredited in public. Unexpectedly, before she expressed her thoughts, her father rejected her. She couldn't help but ask, "Why?"
Tang Huai did not look at him again and said calmly: "Put away all these thoughts from now on. Dr. Zuo Zhong of Tobe is about to retire. You should strive for this position."
Tang Jing looked at him, nodded and said, "I understand."
After the dinner, Tang Jing walked into the courtyard with a displeased look on his face, and a voice came from behind him.
"Are you wondering why your father doesn't let you worry about these things?"
"Second uncle." Tang Jing looked back at Tang Qi and said, "I don't understand. This is obviously a good opportunity..."
Tang Qi raised his hand and pressed it down, indicating that he didn't need to say anything anymore, and then said: "This is the difference between you and Tang Ning. When will you figure out why he changed the chosen one from one to two?
I won’t ask this question anymore.”
Tang Qi stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "The water in the capital is very deep. You are still young. It doesn't matter if you don't understand some things. You will understand them later. Now you just need to do your job well in the household department."
.”
Seeing Tang Qi leaving with his hands behind his back, Tang Jing looked suspicious and murmured: "What do you mean..."
Prince Dian's Mansion.
The Crown Prince of Dian walked into a room somewhere and asked: "Have you figured it out clearly?"
A scribe stood up and said: "Hui Shizi, let's make it clear. We have lost at least two hundred thousand taels this time..."
"Two hundred thousand taels..." The Crown Prince of Dian swayed, closed his eyes, clenched his fists, and gritted his teeth, "Tang Ning, Xiao Jue..."
After a long time, he opened his eyes and asked: "In the last competition of the Sixteenth Guards, are they going to select two people and give them two big gifts?"
The scribe nodded and said, "Hui Shizi, everyone in the capital knows about this matter."
The Crown Prince of Dian continued: "It is said that most of these gifts were given by the Tang people. If I remember correctly, the person behind the Tang people is Tang Ning, right?"
The scribe nodded again and said, "Yes."
"Guess, will he do anything here?" The Crown Prince of Dian narrowed his eyes and murmured: "His Majesty will also go there at that time. If he does anything in front of His Majesty, will he be considered a deceitful king?"
