"Hit the white ball with a cue stick and then use it to hit the other suited balls, and whoever hits all eight balls of his own first wins!" Li You stood in the middle of the hall and introduced the young people to the gameplay of this new game. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Yes, he found the best craftsmen in Beijing to create a billiard table, handmade cues made of fine hardwood, ivory polished billiards, which can be called the ultimate luxury, and for him to spend so much effort is just to recover a trace of the memory of his past life; It's really a game that hasn't been seen in a long time, he looked at everyone, "Who is going to play with me first?" ”

"This game looks like a lot of fun, so I'll do it first." Qian Hua took the other club in a hurry, and Li You blew the ball away with a snap and started the crushing journey.

Today's attendees are some young people, is at the age of fun, billiards in the future generations can prevail its own charm, these people played a few hands were attracted by it, one by one scrambling to play, even the Taiping county lord also played a game with Li You, after the defeat, he simply drove him off the stage to play with Wang Ji himself.

And Li You had to open the market on the side, which was a slight recovery of the cost of making a table; Looking at Zhou Nan's eagerness to try, I knew that she was also interested in this game, so how could she not give her a table? So take this opportunity to make more money.

Gradually, this new game spread from the Earl's Court, and the children of the official eunuchs in Beijing found new fun, and the shops that made the table also made enough money, and the order to book the table from them was directly lined up three months later, and the price of ivory in Beijing rose again and again, so Li You, who had hoarded a lot in advance, made a lot of money.

Of course, his original intention was not to make money, but to curry favor with Zhou Nan, and since then, the two have taken similar opportunities to meet more and more frequently; During this time, Tiger Fu has not released new tasks, and his recent days have been extremely leisurely.

He had a relaxed life here, but Yang Deming received bad news there, the family who rushed to Mobei to inquire about the news had returned, and the news that Yuan Zhang had become the national teacher of Tang Kuo's department also reached his ears.

"Actually succumbing to the barbarians? Still reused by this? This Yuan Zhang is really unexpected. Yang Deming sighed lightly, at this time, he didn't think that Yuan Zhang could bring him much trouble, could he still lead those barbarians from Tang Kuo's department to fight in the capital? At most, it's just to create some small troubles at the border, and their Yang family doesn't have military generals, so why worry about this?

Therefore, Yang Deming put this matter aside for the time being, and rethought the changes in the court, recently His Majesty has insisted more and more on calling King Zhao the imperial examination, and the alliance between the family and the Hanmen family gradually cracked, although the British Gongqiu Yuande did not make any big moves on the surface, but secretly did not contact everywhere; The situation is chaotic and complicated, and it is really unpredictable.

Fortunately, their Yang family has already opened up a relationship with Wei Shiliang, the favored eunuch in the palace, with the support of the ministers of the family outside, the trust of the queen mother inside, and Wei Shiliang's ventilation report, the Yang family can sit back and relax for the time being.

And on the grassland, the national teacher Yuan Zhang also began his own reform with the support of Arubu, after a conspiracy, assassination, massacre, and suppression, those tribal leaders in the past either succumbed or died, and the power of the Tang Kuo Department was concentrated in the hands of Arubu, and the property of those tribal nobles in the past was distributed to the young warriors in the tribe, and Arubu's prestige reached its peak for a while.

"Khan, now that the power of the Tang Kuo Department has been concentrated in your hands, neither the nobles nor the shamans are able to compete with you, and now there are a few months of rectification, we can train these warriors and prepare to attack Great Wei." In the king's tent, Yuan Zhangzhi said proudly, this feeling of being able to display his talent to the fullest is really good.

"In previous years, even if there were merchants who came to the grassland, they brought the most silk, spirits and other things that the nobles enjoyed, and the wealth of our Tang Kuobu was taken away by the Great Wei in this way, the nobles were drunk and dreamed of death, and the warriors couldn't even fill their stomachs; And now, what we exchange for horses is the armor on our bodies, the swords and guns in our hands, with these things, the wealth of Dawei can be at our disposal, all thanks to Mr. Yuan. Arub said sincerely.

He realized very early on that kind of loose tribal alliance would never be able to compete with the Great Wei, but although he was the khan of the Tang Kuo tribe, it was difficult for him to change the traditions of these grasslands; But with Yuan Zhang's help, he made all kinds of good promises to the middle level of other tribes or coercion, or inducement, so as to win them to his side, with the support of these people, he was able to use all kinds of means to clean up the nobles who hindered him from unifying the Tang Kuo Tribe, and it was only now that he really grasped the supreme power of the Tang Kuo Tribe.

There were hundreds of thousands of warriors who dared to fight, and with such a strong strength, he could finally try to fight with Great Wei.

"Now that the armor is not ready, it will be a few more months before it can be done. When the autumn is high and cool, the grass grows and the horses are fat, the weapons brought by those Great Wei merchants will be enough for us. Yuan Zhang said slowly.

"But if we buy so many weapons, won't Dawei be suspicious?" Arub asked.

Yuan Zhang sneered and shook his head, "Behind those Great Wei merchants are either noble families or important ministers of the imperial court, these people only care about their own interests first, so will they care about the life and death of the people?" Even if they really know that we are going to enter the customs, they will not break the cooperation, because even if they don't sell, there are other people waiting to make our money; In addition, the gold and silver treasures we looted after entering the customs will have to be exchanged for food and weapons through them, so they will not let go of such a good opportunity. ”

Yuan Zhang had listened to Mr. Longxi talk a lot about these things, and he didn't believe it at first, but when he saw the unscrupulous measures of those merchants in Guihua City, he knew that this matter was not a lie.

A few months later, when the autumn wind dyed the grassland gold, more than 100,000 troops, led by Arubu and Yuan Zhang, slowly marched towards the mouth of the Great Wei Slaughtering Tiger, which was closest to Mobei, and at this time the generals at the border pass of the Great Wei did not know that the catastrophe was coming.

The well-informed merchants in the Naturalization City not far away, although they had already vaguely noticed the news that Tang Kuo's troops were about to join the Kou, they were not worried at all, because as Yuan Zhang said, they were still counting on buying the stolen goods to make another amount of money.
