The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 716

If he doesn't accept the challenge, wouldn't that diminish his own prestige?

So whatever it is, he has to agree.

"Alright! I'll play a game with you."

Upon hearing that Li Er had agreed to his request, Tuge was overjoyed.

He went directly to his subordinates and took out all the props.

"How about we use 30 taels of gold as the stake for the first round?"

Li Er and his men swallowed so much of his gold in one go.

Now they're just asking them to come up with 30 taels.

It's nothing to their current national treasury.

But now, the ministers were not happy.

However, no one dared to say anything.

If they were to actually stop this bet, it would undoubtedly make their emperor look down on the neighboring country.

So they had no choice but to swallow their anger and suffer in silence.

Despite the huge stakes, they dared not utter a single word of objection.

Tuge took advantage of this, which is why he chose Li Er as the only suitable candidate for this bet.

In the very first match, Li Er suffered a crushing defeat.

In the next three matches, his points were lower than Tug's.

By the end, her eyes were completely red.

You should know that the more you lose, the less composed you become.

Finally, they watched as their gold and treasures were brought out, one by one.

With the national treasury on the verge of being emptied, Xu Tian stared intently at Tuge.

They discovered that Tug had cheated.

A slight upturn of his lips revealed a hint of disdain.

Then he whispered a few words in the emperor's ear.

The emperor suddenly understood.

Nod.

"I'm feeling a bit unwell. Let my adopted son, Xu Tian, ​​handle this round!"

Tug heard that the emperor dared not continue gambling with him.

Although he didn't dare say it out loud.

Just think about it in your mind.

But seeing Xu Tian come up next, he couldn't help but feel even happier.

If Xu Tian gambled with him, wouldn't the result be the same?

The palace maid took out the cards, and Xu Tian glanced at Tuge.

"General please!"

Tug met Xu Tian's eyes and couldn't help but frown.

He always felt that Xu Tian's sudden appearance seemed a bit strange.

He was very confident in his own skills.

They believed that even their emperor wasn't very good at this kind of card game, so Xu Tian naturally wouldn't be either.

Until, the palace maid brought out the chess and card games.

Tug was instantly dumbfounded.

He got the highest score.

Moreover, every single card he played was a sure win, yet he never expected that Xu Tian would actually win.

Xu Tian tapped lightly on the table with one hand, his eyes glancing at Tu Ge across from him from time to time.

His eyes seemed to be saying to Tug, "I'm just giving him a taste of his own medicine."

The last sentence ends because Tug has run out of chips.

"General, you have lost."

Xu Tian looked at Tu Ge with an arrogant expression.

He was no longer the spirited and arrogant man he once was.

All we can see now is a stray dog.

After Xu Tian took to the field, the neighboring country was completely drained of its resources in less than three rounds.

Tug could only kneel down and beg for mercy.

Xu Tian said, "According to the general's initial plan, our game is not over yet."
