Chapter 40: Chaos in the Army, Gang of Bold and Reckless Ones

"Good!"

There was a huge cheer from the stands.

Many people stood up and applauded Lu Fan frantically.

On the other side is Cao Ning.

is recognized as the top three players in strength, but they are still defeated by Lu Fan.

How strong is Lu Fan?

From not being favored at the beginning, it has been a miracle to the present.

Many people have watched Lu Fan grow up step by step.

Lu Fan's victory also gave them a great sense of satisfaction.

It seems that they are standing on the stage at this moment, and they can empathize with Lu Fan's joy and excitement.

"Lu Fansheng!"

As the referee made a loud announcement, the stands erupted in cheers again.

"Good!"

"Win!"

"Great!"

"Lu Fan!"

In the cheers of everyone, Lu Fan walked off the competition platform.

Several players were looking at him, with respect, admiration, and hostility in their eyes.

"The next group of contestants, Ye Wuchen and Xu Xin, invite the two players to the stage."

As soon as the referee's words fell, the two players stood on the competition platform.

The game started quickly.

Lu Fan stood under the stage, observing Ye Wuchen's every move.

This person is indeed extremely strong, and any move has great power.

After more than two dozen moves, he has the upper hand.

And then keep expanding the advantages.

In less than fifty moves, he had won easily.

"Good!"

The stands erupted in cheers again.

"The next group of players, please."

Four games in a row.

It only took one morning for the semi-finals to be decided.

Lu Fan, Ye Wuchen, Qin Yu, Meng Ran.

Immediately after that, the draw was drawn to determine the opponent for the next round.

Lu Fan fought against Qin Yu.

Ye Wuchen fought against Meng Ran.

As soon as this result came out, many people sweated for Lu Fan.

After all, Qin Yu is recognized as the strongest player.

Although Lu Fan is also very strong, he is still a little worse than Qin Yu.

It's too hard to get past this.

It seems that Lu Fan can only stop here, and it is impossible to enter the top two.

I can only try my best to fight for third place.

That's what a lot of people think in their hearts.

Lu Fan felt that it didn't matter.

Since his goal is to be number one, he has to step over any opponent.

It's the same for early and late crosses.

……

……

The next day at noon.

Barracks quarters.

Lu Fan and Su Mu sat down to eat together.

"You know what? When I was practicing the exercises today, I encountered some problems, so I went to the commander for advice. ”

Su Mu looked a little excited, "Others are really good!" He explained to me very patiently and made me pause. ”

"Really?"

Lu Fan was a little surprised, "Is he really that good?" ”

"Of course."

Su Mu nodded, "The Commander still asked about you, he even knew that the two of us used to be in the same Shili. ”

"Oh?"

Lu Fan was slightly stunned, and subconsciously asked, "What do you say?" ”

"Of course I'm complimenting you."

Su Mu smiled: "Otherwise, what else can you say?" ”

"Okay."

Lu Fan has never been with Li Yongtai alone, and he doesn't know what kind of person this person is.

"When the commander saw that I praised you very much, he asked me, what is your shortcoming?"

Su Mu took a few mouthfuls of food, and then said, "I'll reply to him and say that you have no shortcomings." ”

"How could there be no shortcomings?" he said.

"Even the most perfect people in the world have shortcomings, how can you be an exception?"

"I said you're an exception."

"At least I can't find fault with you."

"You are smart, hardworking, gifted, and not lacking in perseverance and patience."

"And composed, calm, and measured."

"What's even more rare is that you are humble and low-key."

"Even the appearance, figure, and temperament are extraordinary."

"In my heart, you're just a perfect person."

Speaking of this, Su Mu raised his head and glanced at Lu Fan, and said with a smile: "In front of the commander, that's what I said, how about it?" Interesting enough, right? ”

"You're praising too much."

Lu Fan himself was embarrassed, and glanced at Su Mu, "It made the commander smile." ”

"No, it won't."

Su Mu smiled and said, "The commander listened very happily and praised me for having vision and knowing people." ”

"He couldn't figure out what to laugh about."

Lu Fan sighed softly.

"By the way, there's one more thing I want to tell you."

Su Mu glanced at no one around him, and whispered, "I've been gambling crazy outside recently." ”

"A lot of casinos have set up special betting games for this ranking tournament, which is tempting to bet."

"It's said that those casinos are making a lot of money."

Su Mu reminded: "You are in the game, you have to be careful." ”

"Huh?"

Lu Fan was a little surprised, he knew that behind those casinos, various gangs were manipulating.

But I didn't expect that these gangs would be so bold and reckless that they would even bet on the games in the barracks?

And make a profit from it?

Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?

Thinking of this, Lu Fan asked, "Are they too arrogant?" The commander doesn't care? Let them be so arrogant? ”

"You're still too naΓ―ve."

Su Mu sighed: "The darkness of this world is far beyond your imagination. ”

"The high-level in the army has a very good relationship with several major gangs."

"You think the casino will take it all after it makes money?"

"They will take out a part of it and honor the high-level of the Zhennan Army in order to dredge up the relationship."

"Some high-ranking officials can even get a share of the casino directly."

"Do you think they'll take care of it?"

Speaking of this, Su Mu looked a little helpless, "Doesn't this mean that you have cut off your financial route?" ”

"That's right."

Lu Fan couldn't have imagined that the inside of the Zhennan Army would be like this.

Corruption is inherent, and everything is only for profit.

Officials protect each other, and there is no military discipline.

Up and down, only know how to enjoy.

Is there still combat effectiveness in such an army?

When there is an invasion of foreign enemies one day in the future, will this border pass be able to be defended?

This is the case with the Zhennan Army, but what about the other border armies?

What about the Imperial Guards guarding the capital?

In a prosperous place like the capital, wouldn't it be easier to lose yourself?

It is no wonder that the Great Zhou Dynasty is declining day by day, from small to large, and the armies in other places must not be much better.

Wasn't the Emperor of the Great Zhou aware of this situation?

Why don't you do something about it?

Is it a faint king? Yongjun? Or is it forbearance?

Wrong!

Lu Fan's heart suddenly moved, and he thought of a possibility, could the creation of Long Yingwei have something to do with it?

If so, the mission that Long Yingwei will take on in the future is not ordinary.

"Well, that's not something we should be thinking about."

Su Mu shook his head, "You now know why those gangs are so rampant, right?" That's because they are hard enough in the background and strong enough, and even they themselves are a money-making tool for some high-ranking officials. ”

"Well, let's not talk about it."

Lu Fan didn't want to continue the topic anymore, and urged: "Let's eat quickly." ”

"Okay."

The two stopped talking, quickly finished their meal, and left the room.

On the way, the two met Qin Yu.

They passed by, but they didn't speak.

Lu Fan had heard some things about Qin Yu and knew that this person was very arrogant, and he had always been alone and had no friends.

And that Ye Wuchen is the same, they all like to be alone.

"Lu Fan!"

Yang Cheng ran from afar and beckoned to Lu Fan, "The commander has something to do with you, go quickly." ”
