Fortunate Young Gentleman

The Text of Ruyi Xiaolangjun Chapter 548: Jiangnan Changes It has been two days since Shadow Guard and Sharp Blade entered the mountain. Before the victory or defeat is decided, no news will be released.

After such a long time, there is still no news, which makes Tang Ning start to have a bad feeling.

After all, Shadow Guard is the elite of Yulin Guard, and they are also equipped with poison. If Sharp Blade fights them face to face, although he can still win, it will not be easy.

If Sharp Blade regards them as real enemies, he will do his best to win at the lowest cost, using camouflage, terrain, and even traps to eliminate the enemies one by one.

After all, the purpose of Sharp Blade's existence is not to train a hundred invincible generals. On the real battlefield, a hundred people can play a small role. Their training direction is more inclined to a kind of "cunning way".

From the perspective of time, it is very likely that they will choose the latter method.

When Tang Ning re-entered Zuo Xiaowei, the atmosphere in the camp was obviously different. Everyone had a smile on their face and the atmosphere was jubilant.

Xiao Jue saw him, strode over and said, "You came just in time. I was just about to have someone inform you that the Shadow Guards and the Blade have come out of the mountain. The winner has been decided."

Tang Ning asked, "Who won?"

"Of course we won!" Xiao Jue said as a matter of course, "All 100 Shadow Guards have been captured alive. We only lost five people, and they were caught off guard by their poison. I thought your majesty's guards were so powerful, but it turns out they are just like this..."

Captain Blade came over, walked in front of Tang Ning, stood still, and said loudly, "General, the mission has been completed. Please give your instructions!"

Sure enough, it was just as he expected, but facing them, he couldn't blame or complain.

Tang Ning waved his hand with a bit of exhaustion and said, "Everyone has worked hard. Let's take a day off today and continue training tomorrow."

Winning is winning, and it's so easy to win. Will he tell Emperor Chen that your guards are all a bunch of scumbags? It's better to disband them early...

He looked at Chen Zhou and said, "Prepare the horses and go to the palace."

The training of sharp blades is very hard. It is rare to have a day of rest. With this day of free time, everyone's spirits are quite uplifted.

But there are exceptions.

The five people who were accidentally poisoned by the shadow guards and had their badges taken away stood in the martial arts field in shame, lowered their heads, and had no face to look at everyone again.

The sharp blade captain named Liu Tong looked at them and said, "Don't rest today. As a member of the sharp blade, you were tricked by the shadow guards. Do you still have the face to rest?"

The five people were punished to continue training in the martial arts field. A team leader looked at Liu Tong and asked in confusion, "Boss, although we won this time, General Tang doesn't seem very happy..."

Liu Tong glanced at him and asked, "Can General Tang be happy with these five unpromising guys? If I were General Tang, I wouldn't be happy either!"

...

Tang Ning stood at the door of the imperial study, and an eunuch went in to inform Emperor Chen.

Emperor Chen said two days ago that as long as the two teams were determined, the results would be sent immediately, so he did not delay and prepared his horse to enter the palace as soon as possible.

After a while, the eunuch came in and said, "Sir Tang, the emperor wants you to come in."

Emperor Chen was reviewing memorials. When Tang Ning walked in, he looked up and asked, "How is it? Is my shadow guard better, or is your sharp blade better?"

Tang Ning bowed and said, "Your Majesty, you are wrong. Whether it is the shadow guard or the sharp blade, they are all your soldiers. I am just training them for your majesty."

Emperor Chen nodded and said, "There is some truth in what you said."

Tang Ning corrected him, "It is not a little truth. This is That's the fact. "

Emperor Chen seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly put down the memorial, raised his head, looked at him and asked: "Did the Shadow Guard lose?"

"Your Majesty is wise." Tang Ning nodded and said: "In this competition, the Shadow Guard is slightly better."

Emperor Chen thought for a while and asked: "Slightly better, how much is this?"

Tang Ning handed over a memorial and said: "The detailed battle situation is in this memorial."

Wei Jian walked down, took the memorial and handed it over. After Emperor Chen opened it and looked at it, his face was a little unnatural.

Li Jian captured all 100 Shadow Guards at the cost of five people. Isn't this a slap in his face?

The emperor's personal guards, also his most proud guards, are so vulnerable. Even if it is as Tang Ning said just now, whether it is Shadow Guards or Li Jian, they all belong to him, but Shadow Guards are on duty in the palace, so he naturally prefers Shadow Guards in his heart.

Tang Ning looked up at Emperor Chen and said, "If your majesty has no other instructions, I will take my leave first."

Emperor Chen must be unhappy now. If he stayed here any longer, he would be suspected of watching the fun.

Thinking of the boast he made in front of Tang Ning yesterday, Emperor Chen also felt a little embarrassed. He waved his hand and said, "You go down first."

After Tang Ning left, Emperor Chen's face darkened and he said, "Call Gongsun Ying over!"

Gongsun Ying had not yet learned the outcome of the Shadow Guard and the Blade, but when he walked into the hall and saw Emperor Chen's face, he probably guessed what was going on. His face changed slightly, and he knelt down on the ground and said, "Your Majesty."

Emperor Chen threw the letter in front of her and said, "Take a look for yourself."

Gongsun Ying opened the letter, looked at it, and his face turned even paler. He gritted his teeth and explained, "Your Majesty, the Shadow Guards have only been trained for a short time. When they really learn the witchcraft, no one will be their opponent. Your Majesty has also seen with your own eyes that the current Yulin Guards are no match for the Shadow Guards..."

Emperor Chen knew that the Shadow Guards were stronger than the Yulin Guards, but he didn't expect that the gap between them and the people trained by Tang Ning was so big.

He summoned Gongsun Ying because he was full of anger and couldn't vent it. This person still had some effect on him.

He calmed down a little and just sat down when a young eunuch came in, walked quickly to the front, put a secret letter on the table, and said, "Your Majesty, urgent report from the secret agent in Jiangnan."

Emperor Chen raised his eyebrows: "Jiangnan?"

His secret agents were spread all over the states and prefectures. They were very hidden on weekdays. If there was nothing important, they would not report to the capital, let alone an urgent report.

Jiangnan is the place where the court relies on for taxation. Once there is a change, it will have a huge impact on the court. He tore open the secret letter and stood up suddenly after reading the contents above. His face became completely gloomy.

When he heard "Jiangnan", Gongsun Ying raised his head, and saw Chen Huang's expression change again. He seemed to have thought of something, clenched his fists, and a trace of anxiety appeared in his eyes.

...

After Tang Ning left the palace, he went straight home.

Chen Huang, who was good at face, didn't want to see the competition. He wanted to see the strength of the shadow guards. If he had known that the guys of Li Jian were stubborn, he would have made it clearer at the beginning.

Even if Li Jian still won in the end, everyone pretended to be a little more like a match, making it look like they were evenly matched, so that the result was not so different, and Chen Huang felt better.

When he felt bad, he would find ways to make others feel bad.

Tang Ning was well aware of Emperor Chen's love of face and pettiness, but he was not sure if he was so petty that he would give him a hard time just because he lost a game.

In the backyard of the Tang family, Zhao Man saw that he looked worried, sat down near him, and asked, "What's wrong? Is the work of the Ministry of Personnel difficult?"

Tang Ning shook his head and said, "It's not the Ministry of Personnel, it's your father..."

Zhao Man blinked and asked in surprise, "What's wrong with father?"

Tang Ning told Zhao Man the result of the competition between Shadow Guard and Blade. She smiled, leaned her head on Tang Ning's shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, although father is indeed a little stingy, he is not stingy to this extent..."

"Son-in-law, son-in-law..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qing'er ran in from outside in a panic and said, "Son-in-law, someone came from the palace and said that the emperor wants you to enter the palace immediately..."

Rong Xiaorong said

Thank you "Chen Chunmu Shen", "Zizhu Ziyin Zixiaoyao" and Xue'er for the reward...
