One hundred members of the Blade are training in the back mountain, and they can be called back with a signal flare
As the most elite team among the Zuo Xiaogu, the most rigorous and hardworking team, the strength of the sharp blade is unquestionable. Their individual combat ability can fight against ordinary guards with one or ten
But what they are most powerful is their special combat capabilities. Tang Ning tried to adapt them to various extreme environments. After discussing with Lao Zheng, he conducted various targeted training on them to comprehensively improve their comprehensive strength
Of course, Chen Huang's Shadow Guards should not be underestimated. They are also elites among the imperial guards and have also undergone Gongsun Ying's special training. They cannot be treated as ordinary opponents.
Chen Huang seemed to be very confident in the strength of the Shadow Guard and told Tang Ning specifically that the competition between the two teams should not be limited to the martial arts field like the Sixteen Guards Competition, similar to the performance competition.
What he wanted to see was the actual combat, the real strength of the two teams, and chose the competition venue on the back mountain
The rules of the competition are also very simple. The two teams are divided into two groups, red and blue, fighting for each other's waist cards. The waist cards are eliminated by the winners, and finally the winner is determined based on the total number of waist cards captured by the two teams.
Tang Ning saw Chen Huang's confidence, and he really couldn't bear to remind him that they had been living in the mountains for half a month without carrying water and food. Tang Ning's purpose this time was to train their ability to survive in the wild.
After they came back last night, they had eaten and drunk enough, and were fully prepared for today's competition.
Before the game begins, the two teams must be taken to a specific location in the mountains and wait for the camp to send out a signal bomb
A general from the shadow guard walked up to Gongsun Ying and said: Report to the leader, our people have already gathered together.
Gongsun Ying glanced at him and said: In this competition, you can only win, not lose!
That bowed and clasped his fists and said: Obey the order!
As soon as he finished speaking, another figure ran to Tang Ning. After standing still, he straightened his body and said loudly: Report to the general, the sharp blade should reach 100 people, but in fact, one hundred people should reach 100 people. Please give me instructions!
This unexpected loud voice scared Chen Huang.
His eyes looked at the Captain Sharp Blade, and he felt that the aura of this person seemed to be stronger than that of the Shadow Guard, but when he thought of the Shadow Guard's special ability, he still felt relieved.
With Emperor Chen here, Tang Ning couldn't say anything to them, and looked at Captain Sharp Blade and said: This competition is just a test of your strength by Your Majesty. You don't have to work too hard, just perform normally.
The captain clasped his fists and said: Receive the order!
Tang Ning didn't know if he understood his words, but he thought he had already said it very bluntly.
The two teams have set off, and Chen Huang is sitting firmly in the central barracks, looking very confident
Tang Ning is the opposite of him. He has no confidence, not that he has no confidence in the sharp blade, but that he has no confidence in the shadow guard.
With Emperor Chen's small-mindedness, if the sharp blade really wins, will he praise him or blame him? Tang Ning is really unsure
Emperor Chen looked at him and said: You don’t have to be nervous. Even if the sharp blade loses, I won’t blame you. You can make the Zuo Xiaowei, who is at the end of the Sixteen Guards, jump to the top of the Sixteen Guards, and you will be of great significance.
Tang Ning bowed and said politely: Thank you for your praise, this is all the credit of all the soldiers...
Chen Huang stood up and said: In this competition, I am afraid I will not be able to decide the outcome. I will return to the palace first. Then, you can just send the result.
His Majesty
He sent Emperor Chen out of the cavalry camp and watched the tent go away. Tang Ning's eyes looked at the back mountain and asked: Is the time here?
Xiao Jue nodded and said: It's almost done
Tang Ning looked behind him, and Chen Zhou took out a bamboo tube from his sleeve and lit the lead. A dazzling white light shot straight into the sky, exploding in the sky, making a huge sound.
After a while, a loud noise came from the mountains as a response to the competition
According to Chen Huang's intention, this competition is a practical battle rather than a performance, and time is not limited. It is not easy to eliminate everyone in the Shadow Guard in the deep mountains.
Xiao Jue looked at Tang Ning and asked: What are we doing now? Are we waiting?
You wait here. Tang Ning looked at him and said: The Ministry of Personnel still has something to do. I want to go back to the yamen. If there is anything, just ask me to come to the Ministry of Personnel to notify me.
He took a few steps, thought of something, looked at Xiao Jue, and asked: Which of the officials above the fourth rank in the court are from Jiangnan?
That's too many
Xiao Jue said without thinking: There are many talented men in Jiangnan, and even the students from the capital have been suppressed by them over the years. Over the years, many of the important officials in the court have their hometowns in Jiangnan, such as Prime Minister Feng, Zhang Zhongshuling, Minister of Works, etc....
Jiangnan is a place of tax payment and education. Jiangnan officials' status in the court is unbreakable. Tang Ning has a little clue about these things, but obviously, the real situation is even more serious than he imagined.
Xiao Jue thought about it and said: By the way, when it comes to Jiangnan, the Tang family has the greatest influence in Jiangnan.
Tang Ning looked at him and asked: Isn’t the Tang family a high-ranking village in Gyeonggi?
Xiao Jue shook his head and said: You don’t know that although the Tang family’s roots are in the capital, most of the Tang family’s children are married to women from Jiangnan. The Tang family has a very close relationship with them. Otherwise, who would you think it was to provide such huge financial support to the Tang family and King Duan behind the scenes?
This matter was actually something that Tang Ning had always been puzzled. The many powerful people who King Kang relied on had huge businesses, while the Tang family, which King Duan relied on, rarely got involved in business. Even if Tang Ning wanted to crack down, he could not find a partner. After a long time, it turned out that the source of the Tang family's economy was in Jiangnan...
It seems that the water from the Ministry of Personnel is much deeper than he imagined.
When he returned to the Ministry of Personnel, the back mountain of the Xiaoqi Camp, the Libing and Shadow Guard teams did not act urgently, but discussed the war on the spot.
The camps of the two teams are several miles apart, and they are only temporary camps. After starting the action, they must be abandoned, otherwise they will be waiting for the other party to come and encircle them.
On a certain open space in the mountains and forests, the shadow guard general divided 100 people into ten groups, each with ten people. Then he called the ten captains over and reminded him: The leader said that this battle is only allowed to win but not lose, and we must not lose in the hands of Zuo Xiaowei and others!
Receive the order!
Receive the order!
Receive the order...
Everyone spoke one after another, and the general and everyone were quiet and said: We are Shadow Guards, don’t have to fight them head-on. Whether it is using poison or Gu, just make sure you can win...
A forest several miles away
A young man squatted on a tree, looked at the people below, and said: The general said, those guys would make some people go to the side and cheer me up. If anyone dragged the sword's back, I would take out someone and practice alone for a month...
One person looked up at him and asked: Boss, what did General Tang say to you just now?
The general said, let us perform normally, don’t work too hard... The young man looked at them and said: Although the general said so, this is just a comfort. You all cheer me up and use all your abilities. Remember, this is not an exercise!
