Under the expectation of everyone in the Spring Breeze Restaurant, the finale of the Xiaoyao Card Contest finally opened, and the four players, including Li Yuntian, sat at the gambling table, and the Kui Yuan of this Xiaoyao Card Contest was about to be born.

"This king is just a contestant now, you don't need to worry about anything, you must do your best." Before the dealer opened the cards, Li Yuntian smiled and said to the three Yun Na who participated in the finals, "This king has decided that Kui Yuan of this competition will be recruited as a staff officer by the king's side, and this king believes that he can assist this king in formulating the most perfect battle plan." ”

With a bang, there was a commotion at the scene, and people were talking in surprise in private, no one would have thought that Li Yuntian would make such an unexpected decision, which was undoubtedly a supreme honor for the people of Qinglong City.

Bai An and Lu Minen and other high-ranking people in Qinglong City also seemed quite surprised, because no one had gotten this talk beforehand, but Li Yuntian had always been unfathomable in doing things, so he naturally had a reason for doing so.

The corners of Lin Xin's mouth showed a subtle smile, and she quietly observed Yun Na, obviously this was a bait thrown by Li Yuntian, laying a trap for Yun Nabu, if Yun Na was really a spy of Beiyuan, then she would definitely jump in.

Yun Na was stunned by this sudden news, and looked at Li Yuntian with a stunned expression, which means that if she wins the championship of the competition, it means that she will join the Xiaowu Army and become the staff officer next to Li Yuntian.

Li Yuntian didn't look at Yun Na, and bowed slightly to the official in charge of the game on the side, and the official rang the gong in his hand, which meant that the final officially began.

With the sound of the gong, the noisy scene suddenly fell silent, and everyone stared at the table in the center of the hall with wide eyes.

In addition to Li Yuntian and Yun Na, the other two finalists were two middle-aged men, one was a jewelry merchant from the Eastern Chagatai Khanate named Anslie, and the other was the owner of a tavern in the ancient city of Dunhuang named Sale.

Although it was the first time for Li Yuntian to meet Anslie and Sale, he could see that these two people were very deep in the city through the previous matches between the two.

Li Yuntian checked the background information of all the contestants who participated in today's competition, Thaler was just the owner of a tavern, while Anslie was different, he was a big merchant in the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, and the jewelry business was very big in the Western Regions.

Li Yuntian was very surprised that Anslie did not flee into the pass to hide like the other rich and powerful magnates of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, but chose to stay in Qinglong City, knowing that he had taken a considerable risk.

In Li Yuntian's opinion, he is very satisfied with the three players in the finals of the Xiaoyao Card Competition, if these three people are not enemies, then they must be very good helpers, and they can be used in the Western Regions in the future.

Perhaps it was Li Yuntian's temporary increase in bounty that impressed Yun Na, Anslie, and Thaler, which made the game fall into a fierce battle at the beginning, and the air was filled with a tense and depressing atmosphere, which made everyone on the scene feel quite excited.

Unlike Yun Na and the others, Li Yuntian's performance was calm, playing cards there slowly and methodically, and he was the most relaxed among the four participants, enjoying the fun of the game.

As time passed, the situation at the poker table gradually became clear, although Yun Na was smart but young after all, she could not maintain a stable state of mind, so in the face of the "old treacherous and cunning" Anslie and Thaler gradually showed a disadvantage, and the chips gradually became the least of the four.

Li Yuntian had the second-fewest chips of the four, with Anslie and Thaler alternating leads, and the two faced each other like two hungry wolves, looking for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to each other.

Because the situation at the poker table was unfavorable to Yun Na, Yun Na's mood became agitated, and Li Yuntian could clearly know from the look on Yun Na's face how much she wanted to win the final victory, but the more she did this, the more she lost, giving Anslie and Thaler a chance to take advantage of.

"All-in!" When the time of the game ended, the last game was still going on, and Saylor, who was behind the chips in his hand, had no choice at this time, and pushed the stacked chips in front of him to the table, looked at Anslie expressionlessly and said, It is imperative to win this game.

In Thaler's view, the second and third places were undoubtedly losers, so he had to win first place in order to gain fame and fortune, so he had to take a gamble now.

As long as Anslie is scared off and wins this game, then he should be able to overtake Ansley in chips and take the initiative for the rest of the time.

"Follow!" Ansley stared at Thaler for a while, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, pushed the chips in front of him forward, and said to Thaler with a smile, "I can tell you that my cards are straights!" ”

"Damn!" Sayler couldn't help but reach out and pat the table, looking very annoyed, his two hole cards and five cards face up The biggest combination was two pairs, which was smaller than Anslie's hand.

"This king also followed." As soon as Saylor's whining fell, Li Yuntian also pushed down the chips in front of him with a bang, and said with a smile, "Things seem to be coincidental, and this king is also a son." ”

Anslie, who was originally proud, was stunned for a moment, never expecting that Li Yuntian would also come to join in the fun, so that things would become complicated, and it was likely to change the situation at the scene.

Yun Na was about to push all the chips in front of her to bet up, and after seeing that Li Yuntian had also joined the battle, she hesitated, and then removed the hand pressed on the chips, she only had one pair of tips, and the winning chance was not big, so she chose to give up after weighing it again and again, and looked at the two hole cards in Li Yuntian's hand with a nervous expression.

Judging from the current situation, Thaler's hand is obviously smaller than that of a straight, and if Li Yuntian and Anslie are both straights, as long as Li Yuntian's hand is greater than Ainslie's hand, then Yunna will win the final victory, because in this way, Yunna will have more chips left in the end than Ansley and Saylor.

"Wow!"

When Li Yuntian and Anslie's two hole cards were opened, the scene suddenly sounded a burst of exclamation, the two of their hole card points turned out to be exactly the same, but Li Yuntian's card color is bigger than Anslie, and he is stronger than Anslie, which is what people usually call the enemy card.

Seeing this, Anslie couldn't help but smile bitterly, and shook his head helplessly, he put all his energy on dealing with Sailer, but unexpectedly, Li Yuntian gave him a fatal blow halfway through, making his previous efforts in vain.

Thaler breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't win the final hand anyway, so as long as he could pull Ansley off the throne of Quanti, it would be his victory.

As for Yun Na, it was hard to imagine for a while that she had turned defeat into victory at the last moment, her cheeks were flushed, and her mind was blank, although her chips were not as good as Li Yuntian, but they were more than Anslie and Saylor, which was enough.

Thaler was the third place in the tournament because he was all-in on the chips, and in the end he had no chips in his hand, and Anslie only had a dozen chips left in his hand, so he won the second place in frustration.

"This is the rank of second lieutenant, and in the future, you will be the trainee staff officer next to this king, and you will be under the jurisdiction of Adjutant Lin." After the competition, Li Yuntian personally presented awards to Yun Na, Anslie and Saylor, Yun Na was the last to receive the award, not only got a rich reward, but Li Yuntian handed a pair of ensign epaulettes to her, and said with a smile, "Of course, fighting is a man's business, you can refuse this errand." ”

"Lord Wang, the little girl is willing to go to the battlefield to defend her family and country!" Yun Na glanced at Lin Xin, who was standing behind Li Yuntian, and replied in a resolute tone, obviously she was arrogant and did not agree with Li Yuntian's words, because there was a female military attache by Li Yuntian's side.

"Take care of the affairs at home, and the barracks will be in three days!" Li Yuntian smiled slightly when he heard this, and then turned around and left, he would not participate in the next celebration, and everyone would definitely feel uncomfortable if he was present.

Yun Na looked at Li Yuntian with a slight frown, she really didn't understand, why Li Yuntian wanted to make a move in the final game, to be honest, Li Yuntian did not intervene in the competition between Anslie and Sailor at all, because the victory or defeat of the game did not mean anything to Li Yuntian.

"Lord Wang, did you help Yun Na?" On the way home, Lin Xin asked Li Yuntian with a smile in the carriage.

"If that's not the case, how can we know if she's a spy of Beiyuan." Li Yuntian smiled slightly when he heard this, took out two free cards from his pocket and shook them at Lin Xin, no one would have thought that the dignified Ming Zhongwu King would come out of the old thousand.

In fact, people who often mingle in casinos know that the gambling game in the casino is cheating, and they all rely on cheating to win the gamblers' gambling money, otherwise if you really want to gamble fairly, I am afraid that the casino will collapse long ago.

"In addition, Anslie and Saler are a little older, and they are not suitable to be advisers by the side of this king, if they have no problems, this king will be of other use." Then, Li Yuntian tore the two free cards in his hand and said to Lin Xin, "Tell me to go down and find out the background of the two." ”

"My subordinates understand." Lin Xin smiled and nodded when she heard this, what she admired most was that Li Yuntian knew people and was good at his duties, and would not be contemptuous and snub because the other party was of a different race, which also made Li Yuntian successfully pacify Jiaozhi, Liaodong and Mongolia, and had a large number of officials who were originally of a foreign race but are now the people of the Ming Dynasty.

The situation in Kansai is also like this, most of the soldiers and military attaches of the Xiaowu Army's Guanxi Qinglong Battalion are from all ethnic groups in Kansai, I am afraid that except for Li Yuntian, no one in the Ming Dynasty can successfully control these aliens in the eyes of the Ming court, and it is the Qinglong City guarded by these aliens that blocks the pace of the Timurid Empire and the Eastern Advance of the Northern Yuan.

Otherwise, once the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan army were all pressed at Jiayu Pass, then even if Zhou Zheng had great ability, he would not be able to stop the attack of a million troops.

Zhou Zheng not only told Li Yuntian about the current bad situation in Jiayuguan with carrier pigeons, but also brought Li Yuntian a bad news, that is, a large number of servant troops appeared outside Jiayuguan and were the main force attacking Jiayuguan, and it seems that many countries in the Western Regions have taken refuge in the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan.

Therefore, it is likely that the enemy's strength in the south of the Yangtze River has reached a million, which makes the situation of the Ming in Kansai even more critical.
