Today is an ordinary day.

However, it is not so ordinary compared to the past.

Yesterday, the people from the Northern Region set up a challenge in Zhengyang Street Square and won against dozens of people in a row. They were still shouting until evening.

After this incident, many people were unable to get a good night's sleep.

This was not only because the ministers were angry that their dignity had been challenged, but also because someone had secretly entered the residence at night and conveyed His Majesty's message.

"We can't let the Northern People keep winning; we must at least dampen their arrogance!"

However, people didn't move early in the morning; they were waiting.

But when someone on stage started shouting more and more wildly, and even directly belittled Daqing, these people could no longer sit still.

If we keep watching, it won't just be a matter of losing face; the emperor's wrath will also follow.

Then, something interesting happened.

Prime Minister Cui Renshi and the six ministers rushed to Zhengyang Street, each bringing with them their best guards.

These people came from all directions.

Tang Huan, who was still sitting at the breakfast stall, noticed the people who suddenly appeared and recognized a few familiar faces among them.

He grabbed Li Da Kui, who was about to step onto the ring, and laughed, "Looks like we don't need you to make a move for now."

Li Daikui glanced at the guards the adults had brought and said, "These little guys are so weak, we don't even know if they can win. If we can't even beat them, then it will be even more embarrassing."

Seeing this, Xue'e chuckled and said, "You, a mountain bandit, feel ashamed?"

Li Daikui said awkwardly, "That was due to the hardships of life in the past. I'm a good person, and I also have the guidance of my elders over the years..."

"No need for so much explanation, just sit down and take a look patiently."

They sat down to watch the show patiently, while below the arena, ministers gathered with their respective servants.

Neither of them spoke, but both could see the seriousness in the other's eyes.

The middle-aged man carrying the gong on the platform recognized the group and was immediately startled. He bowed tremblingly and said, "Greetings, esteemed sirs..."

"Damn it, you should be chopped up and fed to the dogs! You're siding with outsiders! Daqing doesn't have people like you!" Redding cursed angrily.

The man looked somewhat helpless, lowered his head, and did not answer.

He had done something undignified, and even if the ministers weren't in front of him, he couldn't refute them.

With so many people suddenly appearing, A-Da naturally noticed them.

Similarly, he sensed that these people were of high status and noticed the guards among them.

Who's next to go on stage?

Ah Da spoke calmly, glancing at them with a disdainful look.

Redding, his face dark, said to the young man beside him, "Lei Bao, go up and teach him a lesson!"

Raised and adopted by Redding from a young age, Lei Bao learned various self-defense martial arts, and when it came to skills, no one in the Lei family could match him.

Moreover, Lei Bao was somewhat frustrated because he hadn't accomplished anything in his previous attempt to monitor Tang Huan.

He had hoped to gain favor with his adoptive father, but in the end, it all came to nothing.

When Lei Bao heard yesterday that someone had set up a challenge on Zhengyang Street and defeated dozens of people, he guessed that it might be time for him to make his move.

Sure enough, he was summoned by his adoptive father last night and ordered to conserve his energy and prepare to compete against Ah Da in the arena today.

Lei Bao slowly walked towards the arena, several meters away from A Da, his expression equally disdainful.

"After today, get out of the capital."

Lei Bao not only wants to win, but to win spectacularly.

He needed to gain his adoptive father's favor through this incident. As an adopted son, he could never compare to Lei Yan, and he had to strive to demonstrate his worth.

Without saying much, Lei Bao adopted a proper martial arts stance.

A Da, sitting opposite him, didn't move an inch, only turning his head slightly and glancing at Lei Bao when Lei Bao went on stage.

The next moment, Lei Bao suddenly made his move.

He was very fast, and he was almost in front of Ah Da in the blink of an eye.

Similarly, Ah Da moved.

He threw his fist once again, just like every time before.

"How long do you think that kid from the Lei family can hold out?" Li Daikui asked curiously.

"It's hard to say. He looks like he's been training for a few years, so he might be a bit better than the previous ones," Tang Huan gave an uncertain answer.

Liu Yi hesitated on the side. Although he had talked a lot with Lord Tang that morning and even had a few drinks together, he was still a little timid in front of them.

However, thinking about what had happened in the past two days, Liu Yi also felt a surge of anger, after all, the people from the Northern Region had done those things not far away.

As a native of Daqing, Liu Yi was also a target of ridicule.

"Poet Immortal, do you think we can win this time?"

Tang Huan didn't turn around, but continued to watch the arena with a smile. He sighed, "I'm not sure how long he can last, but I can say for sure whether he can win."

"What does Your Excellency think?"

"We are bound to lose."

"Brother Tang, do you think Lei Bao will lose?" Amidst laughter, Cui Yuanzhao sat down next to Tang Huan, while Wang Jingze and Lei Yan also moved closer.

The latter looked gloomy, seemingly extremely dissatisfied with Tang Huan's statement that his own people would lose.

"Yuan Zhao, you've come to watch the fun too?"

Cui Yuanzhao waved his hand, "Don't mention it. When the news reached the manor, my father was so angry that I didn't dare to say a word. I saw him leave with his men in a menacing manner."

"Why do you think Lei Bao will lose? In the past ten years or so, the Lei family has found him the best instructor. He can hold his own even when competing with top military experts, and he has few rivals in the capital." Lei Yan and Tang Huan already had a grudge, and now he was displeased by Tang Huan's words, so he immediately spoke up.

"Can't you tell?" Tang Huan chuckled.

Lei Yan glared at Tang Huan with uncontrollable rage.

"Let alone that Lei Bao, in my opinion, all the servants and guards brought by the ministers will lose. If they could gang up on Ah Da, they might have a chance to win."

Cui Yuanzhao was stunned for a moment, "You mean they will all lose?"

Although he wasn't very confident about the guard he brought, Cui Yuanzhao never imagined that everyone would lose.

After all, these ministers held high positions and wielded great power; anyone who could be invited to their residences for protection was certainly not weak.

If we can't even beat these people, then who can beat Ah Da?

Wang Jingze also frowned. He didn't speak, but he didn't doubt Tang Huan's words.

While the group was talking, Ah Da and Lei Bao had already exchanged several blows on the field.

Lei Bao truly lived up to the Lei family's hard work in nurturing him for over a decade. He did hold his own against A Da for a while, showing no signs of defeat within a dozen or so rounds.

And this is already the best person to date.

That's why Reading is proud at this moment.

He was waiting for Lei Bao to defeat A Da so he could gain merit from His Majesty.

To his disappointment, after another exchange of blows, Ah Da staggered back several steps, then suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood with a loud "whoosh".

The smile that had just appeared on Reading's face vanished instantly.
