"What about this?" After being squeezed by Wu Xiangjun, Roger suddenly felt a dull face. He reached out to take off a jade pendant from his waist and shook it at Wu Xiangjun.

"A gentleman's words!" Wu Xiangjun knew that Roger's jade pendant was worth at least 100 taels of silver, so she smiled and nodded, stretching out her right palm at him.

"High horse and whip!" Roger reached out and clenched Wu Xiangjun with the void, and the two of them officially made the bet.

"Sister, don't cry if you lose later!" Then, Roger showed a smug smile on his face, and he whistled at Wu Xiangjun with a smile, and started chatting and laughing with the people at his deskmate, looking confident.

"Brother Menghua, if I win, we will be half of the money each." While Roger was talking to the people at the deskmate, Wu Xiangjun whispered to Tan Zong. If it weren't for Tan Zong's words, Bass and Nail were half-hearted, she wouldn't dare to bet with Roger.

Seeing this, Tan Zong couldn't help but shake his head. These noble children were really generous in taking action. They threw out a few hundred taels of silver without even blinking.

At this moment, more than a dozen soldiers carried several stone locks into the field. The stone locks were commonly used in the Dashun army to train their strength. They were divided into five types: twenty kilograms, thirty kilograms, fifty kilograms, eighty kilograms and one hundred kilograms. When Bass and Nail will add this kind of stone lock to the stone lion respectively, so that the person with the heaviest weight can be lifted, and then the final victory will be won.

Not only were there stone locks, but the soldiers also brought iron weights ranging from half a pound to ten pounds. If Bass and Nail couldn't decide the winner on large weights, they would have to compete with these small weights.

Looking at the row of weights siding on the ground from high to low, Tan Zong couldn't help but frowned slightly. He didn't expect that the competition would be so detailed, even these small weights were all calculated. This situation was like a weightlifting competition in later generations. In the final showdown, the weight was increased by pound by pound until the champion was born.

Although Bass and Nail's strengths are very similar, they are always different. If the two of them distinguish between the two on these small weights, then Wu Xiangjun will lose.

Moreover, even if both Bass and Nail lift the same weight, according to the rules of later weightlifting competitions, the person with the light weight among the two will win, and the probability of Bass and Nail weighing is slim, which means that even if the two lift the same weight, they will decide the winner.

Although Wu Xiangjun wanted to make a bet with Roger herself, judging from the fact that she gave Tan Zong a share of money, Tan Zong felt that she was influenced by herself.

Just as Tan Zong was frowning and pondering, the scene in the field made his face look depressed. He was really afraid of anything he was afraid of. Two soldiers carried a scale used by live pigs in the market to the edge of the pile of small scales and placed the scale on the ground. It seemed that they were going to wait for Bass and Nail to tie and weigh the two.

"Sister Yiting, what do they do with scales?" At this time, Wu Xiangjun looked at the scales on the ground and asked Qin Yiting curiously, she didn't know what to do with scales.

"Dude Menghua, do you know what they are going to do?" Qin Yiting didn't know either. She shook her head slightly at Wu Xiangjun, and looked at Tan Zong with a smile.

"Sister, this scale is used to weigh the two barbarians. If they are tied, then the light-weight person will win." Without waiting for Tan Zong to speak, a man sitting on the other table smiled and said to Qin Yiting, "Miss Xiangjun's bet will definitely lose."

"Second brother, since you know, why did you watch Xiangjun and Mr. Luo just now?" Qin Yiting's eyes showed a look of surprise and said to the man with a delicate voice.

"Did you ask me just now?" The man spread his hands to Qin Yiting, looking innocent.

"Brother Biwu is so bad that he knows to bully me." After hearing this, Wu Xiangjun couldn't help but be stunned. She never thought that there was such a statement here. If this happens, wouldn't she be determined. So she stomped her feet, raised her mouth and said to the man dissatisfied.

"Or why I'll talk to Roger, let's forget about your bet." The man who spoke was Qin Yiting's second brother Qin Biwu. When Qin Biwu heard this, he smiled and said to Wu Xiangjun.

"Hmph, I won't escape at the last minute. Isn't it just learning to bark? What's so great about it?" Wu Xiangjun raised her chin and said in a sweet voice when she heard this.

"You guys say, will our sister Xiangjun learn to bark at dogs later have a different flavor?" The man sitting next to Qin Biwu glanced at Wu Xiangjun and said to the people present with a teasing look.

When the other two people heard this, they burst into laughter and looked at Wu Xiangjun with interest.

"You really hate it!" Wu Xiangjun's cheeks suddenly turned red. After stomping her feet, she turned her head and ignored Qin Biwu and others.

"Brother, no wonder that the little marquis dared to bet with Miss Xiangjun. It turned out that he had known this rule for a long time. Miss Xiangjun was defeated before the battle. This was too unfair." Qiao Yu was a woman after all. Seeing that Wu Xiangjun was "bullied" by Roger, she suddenly felt uneasy for her. So she looked at Wu Xiangjun who was sitting there sulking, then came to Tan Zong and whispered.

"Nine out of ten gamblings are cheating, this is not a big deal." Tan Zong shook his head slightly. Although he was also very angry, there was no good idea.

"Brother, why don't you help her? You can't let the little marquis just pretend Miss Xiangjun." Qiao Yu smiled slightly and said to Tan Zong.

"I'll help her?" Tan Zong was stunned for a moment and looked at Qiao Yu in surprise. The two barbarians were as strong as bears. How could he be their opponent?

"Brother, how can you know if you don't try it?" Qiao Yu smiled and nodded, lowered her voice and said, "In my opinion, although those two savages are a bit brute force, they are not the big brother's opponents."

"Really?" Tan Zong's eyes showed a look of surprise when he heard this. He knew that Qiao Yu would not lie to him.

"Brother's power and speed are amazing. I have never seen it or heard of it. I should be able to deal with the two barbarians." Qiao Yu smiled slightly and said to Tan Zong in a low voice. Perhaps Tan Zong did not realize that he was able to escape danger through several blood battles with the power and speed of superman, and his power and speed are still increasing. If paired with the Tang sword that cuts iron like mud, then even the unfathomable Uncle Fu, if he does not use some cleverness, it will be difficult to conflict with him head-on.

Tan Zong never thought that he could get such a high evaluation from Qiao Yu. In his opinion, Qiao Yu is an absolute master. Killing is as easy as taking things out of his bag. Therefore, he likes to bring Qiao Yu around. With Qiao Yu here, not only those who attempt to be unfavorable to him will be afraid, but Qiao Yu will also keenly detect the enemy hidden in the dark, take the initiative and catch the enemy off guard.

After Qiao Yu said this, Tan Zong couldn't help but feel a urge to try, wanting to come on stage to see if he is really as powerful as Qiao Yu said, and can also help Wu Xiangjun to rescue the situation.

Before Tan Zong could make up his mind, a burst of cheers rang around him. When he looked up, he saw Bass steadily lifting the stone lion over his head. Two 20-pound stone locks were tied to the stone lion with a thick hemp rope, and one was hung on each side of the stone lion.

Afterwards, Nail also firmly raised the stone lion with two stone locks tied to it, and there was another burst of applause at the scene. Such a even-match competition is really interesting, with lots of suspense and brilliant.

Next, Bass and Nail began to gradually increase the weight of the stone lock hanging on the stone lion, which detonated the atmosphere at the scene. Whenever the two successfully lifted the stone lion, everyone around would give warm applause.

Tan Zong also watched the competition between Bass and Nail with great enthusiasm. This kind of scene of fighting is really nervous and exciting. It has to be said that it is really hard to find people like Bass and Nail who have such great strength and are evenly matched.

Inadvertently, Tan Zong's eyes fell on Zhao Yuzhao who was sitting in the center of the north. Zhao Yuzhao also wore a mask on his face and was chatting and laughing with a man on the table on the left.

Zhao Yuzhao had a table on each side. Unlike others, these two tables were just two people sitting on the front, and there was no one on the side, which indicates the transcendent identity of the person sitting on these two tables.

Judging from the man's clothes, Tan Zong knew that he was the young master of the Duke of Wei's mansion he met in Kunning Palace. He just followed Zhao Yuzhao when he entered the bonfire party.

"Who is that Li Shaoqing?" After seeing the young master of the Duke of Wei's Mansion, Tan Zong suddenly remembered something, frowned slightly, looked up and glanced at the men in the first row of seats in the north. He wanted to know who Li Shaoqing was here and why the guys behind him said that he had snatched Li Shaoqing's childhood sweetheart female companion.

"Miss Yiting, which young master is Li Shaoqing?" I couldn't help but feel curiosity in my heart. Tan Zong turned his head and looked at Qin Yiting who was watching Bass and Nail in the field with great interest, and asked quietly.

"Dude Menghua doesn't know about Mr. Li?" Qin Yiting looked at Tan Zong in surprise when she heard this, looking quite surprised.

"I am from Jiangnan. I am a newcomer and I am not very clear about the people and things in the capital." Tan Zong smiled slightly and replied calmly. From Qin Yiting's reaction, he found that Li Shaoqing seemed to be of a big background.

Qin Yiting realized what she had done before when she heard this, so she smiled at Tan Zong and was about to tell Tan Zong about Li Shaoqing's identity, but suddenly a sigh of disappointment sounded around her.
