Konoha Hypocrite Uchiha Tonan

Cumin, also known as cumin and fennel, is known as the king of condiments.

Using it to cook beef and mutton can remove the fishy smell and make the meat more delicious.

Tang Ning has long missed the familiar smell of barbecue. Unfortunately, this kind of thing is mainly distributed in Central Asia and is not available in Chen and Chu. Businessmen in the Western Regions sell it as spices. Tang Ning told them that the next time they come to Beijing , you can bring more, and he will charge you as much as you bring.

"It turns out those beauties from the Western Regions are from the Xiaowan Kingdom..." Xiao Jue took a big mouthful of skewers without wiping the traces on the corners of his mouth and said, "I have long heard that Xiaowan is rich in beauties. I guess they must be the original people of Xiaowan. Women from other places should not be so beautiful."

The old beggar and Old Zheng were drinking and making skewers, praising the taste of cumin. With the speed of the three of them, Tang Ning was a little overwhelmed.

Tangning focused on the barbecue and asked casually, "What aboriginal people?"

"Don't you know?" Xiao Jue looked at him and explained: "Xiaowan was originally a small country in the Western Regions, with a population of only a few thousand, and because Xiaowan was rich in beauties, it was often plundered by other countries. Since more than ten years ago, At the beginning, Xiaowan slowly rose up, gradually annexing the surrounding small countries, and now it has more than [-] troops, making it one of the largest countries in the Western Region. The original people of Xiaowan refer to the original citizens of Xiaowan."

Tang Ning only knew that the Western Region was very large. The real territory was larger than either of the two countries, Chen and Chu. However, the Western Region was not a unified country like these two countries. There were thirty to fifty countries in the Western Region, each with a large population. One hundred thousand, maybe only a few thousand or even a few hundred, but he didn't know the specific country.

The people of the Chen State knew very little about the Western Regions. This was because the Western Regions posed no threat to the Chen State. Those small countries were in charge of their own affairs and had trade relations with the Chen State. They were not as brutal and violent as the Sushen people on the grasslands.

"Young man Xiao is right..." The old beggar took a sip of his wine and said thoughtfully: "Xiaowan's beauty is beautiful, with a high nose and big eyes... but her skin is too rough, and she is not as good as a Han woman. Shui Ling..."

Xiao Jue and the old beggar couldn't stop discussing beauties. Tangning roasted the meat and sent it to the women in the room.

Because he and Xiao Jue had something to ask Princess Anyang, she was specially invited here tonight.

Halfway through the meal, Xiao Jue mysteriously pulled Princess Anyang aside and whispered a few words to her.

"Prince Dian..." Princess Anyang looked at him and said in surprise: "Why don't you buy it yourself?"

Xiao Jue waved his hand and said, "Don't ask. In a word, will you help me with this or not?"

Princess Anyang looked at him and asked, "Did Prince Dian provoke you?"

"The person who provoked me is not the Prince of Dian, but I think he is quite distasteful..." Xiao Jue said: "You help me place the bet, and then you and I will be together, how about it?"

Princess Anyang thought for a while and said, "I'm two and you're eight."

Xiao Jue nodded without hesitation: "Deal!"

……

After the group stage, the eight teams that advanced took a few days of rest and started the next round of competition today.

In this round of four games, one guard will be eliminated in each game. The first game is the competition between the left Xiaoqi guard and the right Yinqi guard.

According to the odds offered by Jingzhong Casino, everyone generally believed that the Xiaoqi Guards were extremely likely to lose. They fought hard to defeat the Zuo Yinqi Guards. They would stop when facing the superior You Yinqi Guards. .

The later the game, the more spectators there are on the sidelines. The dignitaries in the capital and the children of major families also frequently appear on the court.

"His Royal Highness."

The appearance of Prince Dian's son caused the young people in a certain VIP position to stand up one after another.

The Crown Prince of Dian said politely and sat at the front.

The view here is wide, the location is very close to the high platform in the middle, and the tickets are correspondingly higher, but for the prince of Dian and the surrounding dignitaries or officials, it is nothing.

Ling Feng and Tang Zhao sat on the side of Prince Dian, turned to look at him, and asked: "Your Highness is also interested in this competition?"

Prince Dian said: "Let me see if what you said that day is true. If someone really manipulates the game secretly, Yushitai will not sit idly by and watch."

The Prince of Dian looked forward. The reason why he came here was actually because the outcome of this competition was closely related to him.

In the major casinos in the capital, the bookmaker can calculate the odds to become invincible, and then make profits by pumping money. As the heir apparent, it is naturally impossible for him to do these things. He only needs to simply control the odds. Obtaining huge benefits, of course, is actually a kind of gambling. It is good to win the bet, but if the bet loses, he will also suffer huge losses.

He glanced at Tang Zhao one last time and asked, "Are you sure Xiao Jue will let Xiaoqi Wei lose on purpose?"

Everyone around Tang Zhao also looked at him, because this was directly related to their net worth.

Tang Zhao said solemnly: "What I heard with my own ears, can it be wrong?"

After the gong sounded, the competition officially began.

Those who can break out of the group stage are the best in each group. A strong showdown is naturally much more exciting than a one-sided crushing.

In the surrounding auditorium, there were many generals from various guards and officials from the DPRK and China. They were looking at the field and talking about it.

"Is this still the Zuo Xiaowei we know?"

"What exactly have they gone through, and how can they make such a big improvement in such a short period of time?"

"I heard that these heroic cavalry guards were trained with the help of Tang Langzhong of the Ministry of War. His Majesty even promised that if Zuo Xiaowei can win the first place in the Sixteenth Guards this time, he will be appointed as the Zuo Xiaowei Zhonglang General. Even if this If he wins the battle, he will be appointed as a general..."

"Isn't this partiality from the Ministry of War..."

"Hey, it's just training, and it doesn't violate the rules. If the other guards can invite him, they can do it. What I'm curious about is, how can he, the top pick, know how to train soldiers..."

The Knight Riders are notoriously weak, but their performance on the field in recent days has refreshed everyone's understanding of them.

There were many envoys from small countries in the Western Regions on the sidelines, and they all looked shocked as they watched the contest on the field.

However, in the eyes of some people, this wonderful duel is not the same thing.

Ling Feng looked at Zuo Xiaowei, who was fighting with You Yinqi Guard and was not losing at all. He looked at Tang Zhao and said in surprise: "Didn't you say Xiaoqiwei would admit defeat?"

Tang Zhao looked at the field, his heart already panicking, but he still managed to calm down and said: "It would be too obvious to admit defeat directly, I should have acted first..."

After a cup of tea, the Crown Prince of Dian looked at Zuo Xiaowei, who had already attacked You Yinqi's commander, and asked, "Is this also staged?"

Tang Zhao's face turned pale, but at this moment, he felt a line of sight cast on him.

He turned his head and saw Xiao Jue standing not far away, looking at him with a half-smile.

This look contained too many meanings.

Tang Zhao finally realized something, couldn't help but shuddered, and stood up suddenly.

Ling Feng looked at him and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Tang Zhao looked at Ling Feng, and then at the people who, under his instigation, bet all their wealth on the Cavalry Guard, and their faces became even paler.

"You guys watch first, I'm going to go to the latrine..." He glanced at everyone in fear, dropped a word, and hurried away.

"Didn't he just go there?" Ling Feng said in surprise, and was suddenly startled by someone standing up suddenly beside him.

"What's wrong?" Ling Feng looked at him, and just as he spoke, three gongs sounded in his ears.

He looked towards the field, where Wu Langzhong from the Ministry of War was announcing Zuo Xiaowei's victory at the top of his voice.

Ling Feng's body trembled, his face full of disbelief. Beside him, the Prince of Dian's face turned pale, and the rest of the people also had disbelief on their faces.

They had all won by buying the Knight Cavalry Guard before, but with Tang Zhao's encouragement, they changed their minds and added more money...

I thought I would make a big profit, but now I have lost everything.

"Tang Zhao!"

Everyone trembled, gritted their teeth, and spoke with resentment.

Outside the field, Tang Zhao, who was leaving the field in a hurry, paused, his body trembled, and the next moment he ran wildly outside the Xiaoqi camp.
