The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 156

[Chapter 156 Bet]

As a result, the team members could only silently endure Fang Xiu’s torture.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day of the pro-military review in two days.

The rules of the pro-army competition are very simple. The sixteen guards are divided into four groups and compete with each other.

Among the four groups, the two with the highest points can advance, and the remaining ones will continue to draw lots to determine the top spot.

This competition system is similar to the cup competitions of many sports in later generations, which greatly ensures the fairness and justice of the competition.

On the first day, the competition was between archers, horses and queues.

There were many people coming to watch, and almost all of those who had grabbed tickets were present, making the entire school parade ground seem very crowded.

Few civil and military officials and foreign envoys were seen.

Generally speaking, His Majesty and Your Majesty will only be present on the last day of the competition, which is the finals where the top spot is determined.

The rest of the time was spent competing among the guards. There was no audience except for the supervision of the generals and the Ministry of War.

Of course, this is just the past

. Since the tickets have been sold, it is naturally impossible for them to watch only one game.

The review ground is surrounded by benches, staggered among them in an orderly manner, to ensure that every spectator can see the full view of the review ground.

In addition, there are special waiters pushing carts and selling various teas and food, but the prices are a bit more expensive than outside.

As the left winger of the right feather forest guard, Fang Xiu cannot be absent.

It’s just that it was too late last night to endorse, and Xiu’er didn’t have the heart to call him out when she saw his tired face.

It wasn’t until noon that I hurried to the school parade ground.

By the time he arrived at the school review ground, Lin Wei, the right winger, and his opponent today, Long Wuwei Zuo, were already on the court, but the game had not officially started yet.

Wu Yi, a captain of Zuolong Wuwei, saw Fang Xiu, walked up to him, looked at him, and asked: “Why did you come here?”

Fang Xiu straightened his clothes and said, “A little It’s delayed.”

Wu Yi looked him up and down and asked, “Did you go to Yirenju last night?”

Fang Xiu looked at him.

“I just guessed.”

Seeing his expression, Wu Yi looked surprised and asked, “Did you guess it right?”

Fang Xiu just looked at Wu Yi and considered whether to give him a slap to wake him up. Xing

Liuzi was walking from the side and asked doubtfully: “What did you guess?”

Wu Yi turned around and explained: “We just made a bet. If Lin Wei, the right winger, wins, he loses me a hundred taels of silver. If Zuo Long Wuwei wins, I will lose him a hundred taels of silver.”

Liu Zizheng glanced at Fang Xiu and said, “If you want to win Zuo Long Wuwei, go back and practice for another four years.”

According to the past. In terms of record, Lin Wei from the right wing and Wu Wei from the left wing have always been neck and neck.

But this is just the final total score.

In terms of queue, Zuo Longwuwei is far ahead, and even Zuoyu Linwei may not be able to match it.

If it weren’t for the fact that the archer and horse were too weak, the top spot in the last review might have been Zuo Longwuwei instead of Zuoyu Linwei!

Wu Yi glanced at him, frowned slightly, but didn’t say anything.

Both are Wu Xun, and the Liu family has always had a very harmonious relationship with the Wu family and the Fang family.

But some time ago, I don’t know what happened. As one of the three princes in the capital, Wei Guogong was faintly leaning towards Prince Ning.

During a banquet in Prince Ning’s mansion, Liu Zizheng stood with Prince Ning.

He spoke like this, presumably because of the banquet in Prince Ning’s mansion, so Fang Xiu provoked Prince Ning.

Fang Xiu was very calm. He looked at Liu Zizheng and asked, “Do you dare to bet?”

Liu Zizheng was slightly startled, then showed a faint look of disdain and asked, “What are you betting on?”

Fang Xiu said, “One. “

Ten thousand taels of silver”

“Ten thousand taels!?”

Wu Yi looked shocked, quietly tugged on Fang Xiu’s clothes, and whispered: “Zuo Longwuwei’s team is always the first, bet 10,000 taels, you Are you crazy?”

“Okay!”

Liu Zizheng was also a little surprised. After coming back to his senses, he looked at him with cold eyes and said, “If Zuo Longwuwei fails to defeat Youyu Linwei, I I’ll lose you 10,000 taels of silver.”

After saying that, he turned his attention to the review field and quietly looked at the soldiers who were preparing.

The games in Group A are over, and next are the two games in Group B.

As time passed and the game was about to begin, except for Wu Yi, the other captains of Zuo Longwuwei all gathered next to Liu Zizheng with quite nervous expressions.

Although they have great confidence in their Zuolong Wuwei, this pro-military review is different from the past.

The tribes in the northern grassland specially sent envoys to participate in the review. This was the first time in the history of the Chu Kingdom.

Therefore, every guard wants to work hard to win the first place and have the opportunity to compete with the envoys of the grassland tribes.

If we can defeat the envoys from the grassland tribes in the presence of His Majesty, the civil and military officials, and the people of the capital, the future will definitely be bright.

In addition, it may not be impossible to be famous in history.

The pro-military review is more than just a ranking competition.

The sixteen guards of the pro-army army have the responsibility of guarding the capital. However, the capital has always been peaceful. Even if it is as fierce as the grassland tribes, it is impossible to approach the capital.

Therefore, there is no need for guards at all. The promotion of the disciples of the generals in the capital must have some outstanding achievements.

In addition to participating in the annual pro-military government review, the only option is to go to the border and make military exploits on the battlefield.

This is such a dangerous thing, and not everyone has this opportunity.

After all, the surrounding countries, except for the grassland tribes, all regard Chu as the supreme kingdom of heaven and pay tribute as vassals. No one dares to change their minds.

In the past two years, the strength of the Chu State has been developing steadily. Even the grassland tribes rarely make provocative moves. It is not easy to achieve military success through battlefield battles.

It has been ten years since Liu Zizheng was promoted from a captain to a general in the right. For a long time, if there is no merit, how can one become Zuo Zhonglang?

As the son of the Duke of Wei, he has never been willing to be a freeloader in the eyes of others, relying on the protection of his ancestors to achieve greatness throughout his life.

What he wants is his own glory and glory!

Therefore, in this pro-military review, Zuo Longwuwei must win!

Especially, in the first battle, Zuo Longwuwei has always been good at forming a formation. No matter what, he cannot lose to Youyu Linwei!

“This place is much more lively than I imagined.”

A familiar voice suddenly came from behind.

Fang Xiu turned around, looked at the figures sitting in the row behind them, and immediately said: “See your Majesty.”

Everyone also reacted and bowed at the same time: “See your Majesty!”

Emperor Chu stood beside Fang Xiu and others. In front of him, he looked at the school parade ground, smiled, and said: “I’m just joining in the fun, you don’t have to be formal.”

Fang Xiu’s expression did not change at all, but he was very disdainful in his heart.

Now that we’re already here, what’s the point of talking about this.

Who can see you without being restrained?

Don’t a lot of old people have some ideas in their hearts?
