Fortunately, Lao Li was placed in Group C and did not face Gao Sheng directly in the knockout round.

Cheng Chubi also registered his name, and used some black-box operations to be divided into Group B.

After noon, the knockout round officially began.

More than 300 nobles, clan relatives, eunuchs, and foreign envoys in Chang'an City entered according to their own groups.

At this time, Li Jingye hurriedly came to the venue of Group A, found Gao Sheng, and said to him: "Third brother, let me tell you that Li Zhen, the king of Yue, also came to participate in the competition, and he was divided into Group D." ”

Gao Sheng's eyebrows raised, and then he nodded, indicating that he knew.

Then I looked at the place where Li Jingye pointed and saw a scribe about thirty years old, with a delicate appearance, and Li Zhi looked a little similar.

The children of all the families watching the scene around were all staring at Li Zhen, the king of Yue, with a nervous face, for fear that Li Zhen would come to make trouble.

It seems that these gentlemen also have some scruples about Li Zhen, and it is inconvenient to step forward to catch people before they get the approval of Cheng Chubi and Li Jingye.

"Third brother, don't let his appearance deceive, this Yue King Li Zhen is not only good at literature and history, but also good at martial arts, good at riding and shooting, quite the style of the first emperor."

Li Jingye lowered his voice and introduced, and in his words, he seemed to admire Li Zhen, the king of Yue.

It's no wonder that Li Jingye and Li Zhen can be said to have the same smell, both of them rose up to resist Wu Zetian's rule after Gaozong's death, and they both have the genes of rebellion in their bodies, so they naturally have some eyes on each other.

If it weren't for the different camps at the moment, I'm afraid it would not be possible for these two people to get a base.

Cheng Chubi didn't let Li Zhen, the king of Yue, dare to go out, and also accepted Li Zhen's registration, which made Gao Gao take a look.

The visitor is a guest, and before the skin is torn, everything is business as usual, which is the best result.

Do business, why do you have to live or die?

In fact, Cheng Chubi accepted Li Zhen to participate in the mahjong game of the hero mahjong hall, and it was Li Zhen who said something that Cheng Chubi had to accept.

"Don't you dare to accept my registration, are you afraid that King Yue will win you and make you lose face in front of the Chang'an clan relatives and nobles?"

Both big and small Cheng are temperamental and can't stand the excitement of outsiders, Cheng Chubi was so angry that he screamed, and immediately asked people to collect Li Zhen's registration fee, and wanted to meet Li Zhen on the mahjong table.

Who is the hero and who is the bear, only by comparing can we know.

Cheng Chubi played mahjong with the emperor Li Zhi for the first time in the Gao family, and just learned the rules, he showed an amazing talent for rubbing mahjong.

If he wins, Gao Sheng looks down on Cheng Chubi and loses to the emperor's son Li Zhi, Li Zhi does not suspect that Cheng Chubi is releasing water, and there is knowledge in this.

can lose wantonly, with this means, there is no big problem in winning.

Therefore, Cheng Chubi also participated in the mahjong competition, and he also had to compete with Li Zhen, the king of Yue, and Gao Sheng was not worried about his hemp level at all.

Mahjong gambling equipment has just become popular in Chang'an, where can the level of Yue Wang Li Zhen's rubbing hemp be high?

Of course, all this is his speculation, and some mahjong geniuses are out of common sense.

However, he spent a lot of time on mahjong in his previous life, business relationships, and studied mahjong routines.

The group knockout match is very boring, those nobles, clansmen, officials and foreign envoys, the level of mahjong is about the same as that of a newborn, sometimes there are many people who are wrong and miss the public.

Therefore, Gao Sheng advanced all the way, and many times he had to personally guide these opponents how to play mahjong, which was annoying.

Oh, these opponents are all well-known figures in Chang'an City, either the prince, the prince, or the prince, or the ruler of the court.

It's not nice to say, a rural Tuxian man, in the eyes of these people, it's not a fart.

Even if an envoy from a foreign country comes, he doesn't dare to offend, and if it doesn't work, it's an international dispute.

What hurt him the most was the envoy of the Wa Kingdom, a middle-aged man, who had a small handful of iconic mustaches on the top of the person, and his long hair was divided into several strips, and he pulled his hair in a bun, and when he saw this little devil, he wanted to vomit.

This little devil is still a royal prince of the Wa Kingdom, and ordinary nobles and clan relatives are polite to him.

is such a little devil, after knowing his identity as a man in Xiahe County, he was actually polite to him, an existence that was not a fart in the eyes of Chang'an Xungui and Zongqin, and did his best to stammer.

What's the situation?

This little devil is the ambassador of the Japanese State to the Tang Dynasty, called Ji Shi Changdan, and he is very envious of his mahjong level, and he is invited to sit in the Tang Embassy of the Japanese State when he is free, and if it is convenient, teach him how to rub hemp.

Gao Sheng looked at Ji Shi Changdan so "studious", and he said a few words, but he was muttering in his heart, and the little devil was uneasy and kind.

Ten years later, in the third year of Longshuo, the ambitious little devil thought that he had learned a lot of skills from Datang, and finally raised the butcher's knife to the sect leader Datang, but he was taught a lesson, and he was honest for hundreds of years.

Historically, the little devil has never stopped, always thinking about encroaching on the land of China.

Gao Sheng has a good impression of Ji Shi Chang Danmei, he is diligent and flattering on the surface, and his back is the national nature of the Japanese country, and there is no exception for a little devil.

He didn't believe that Ji Shi Changdan invited him, so he simply drank tea and talked about some mahjong skills.

In the knockout round, Gao Sheng came out of mahjong and rules by himself, and there was no suspense in qualifying.

Cheng Chubi and Lao Li entered the semifinals without any suspense, and the only thing that surprised him was that Li Zhen, the king of Yue, also qualified.

At halftime, Lao Li looked for him with a nervous face, and said: "Third brother, there is a middle-aged scribe in Group D, and the level of hemp rubbing is definitely not below me, this time the second place is afraid of panicking." ”

"A middle-aged scribe?" Gao Sheng was slightly stunned and said.

Lao Li hurriedly raised his hand and pointed to him.

Gao Sheng followed Lao Li's guidance and fixed his eyes, isn't this Li Zhen, the king of Yue?

Knowing that Lao Li and the jailers were in urgent need of money, Gao Sheng smiled and said: "Lao Li, as long as you reach the finals, if nothing happens, the third brother will definitely let you win the first place." ”

"First place?" Lao Li almost fainted.

First place, the bonus is ten times, the third brother is really interesting.

It's just that how did Gao Sheng make him the first place? Lao Li was very puzzled.

It seems that I have to take advantage of the break of the game to discuss with Lao Li and Cheng Chubi, make a game, three to one, even if Li Zhen has the ability to reach the sky, plus the luck of the collapse, it is impossible not to die.

According to the level of opponents encountered in the knockout round, Gao Sheng believes that the top 16 can enter the top four, and it is not surprising that only him, Cheng Chubi, Lao Li and Yue Wang Li Zhen are the only ones.

Since it has been determined that Li Zhen, the king of Yue, is not weak in rubbing hemp, it can be determined that his purpose is not weak.

Obviously, when his mahjong parlor opened, he did not greet the guests in the mahjong parlor, but Li Zhen came to the hero mahjong parlor to participate in the mahjong competition, making it clear that he was here to kick the gym......
