I really became a king.

Chapter 569 A Sudden Move
Jiang Yi walked onto the stage in full view of the crowd, and stood there like a green pine tree. He looked around and asked softly:

"Now that I'm on the field, I wonder if I'm qualified to compete for the position of Vanguard Officer?"

This was an idea that came to his mind on a whim, because Jiang Yi suddenly felt that if he could directly control an army, his chances of surviving the expedition would be greater.

No one in the entire parade ground could answer his question except one person, so almost everyone looked at Princess Will, who was wearing a bright red cloak on the podium.

According to ancestral rules, a personal bodyguard like Jiang Yi, who was born in a family, was not qualified to compete for the vanguard officer.

But today, more than one thing has happened that is beyond common sense, and compared to asking Mistress Jiang to accept the challenge of the generals, this request is not excessive.

Princess Will glanced at Madam Jiang who didn't say anything, then looked at Jiang Yi, but didn't speak immediately.

On the contrary, the concubine who had spoken earlier said sharply: "Swords have no eyes, you should think about how to survive this battle."

Jiang Yi stood there straight, feeling a little annoyed.

There were more than a hundred people fighting, and all of them ended in a moment, without even any serious injuries. Why did it become so brutal when he came on the field?

The meaning is obvious. This is like giving orders to certain people, wanting him to die in this arena.

Princess Will glanced at the concubine beside her with an unhappy expression, but the concubine turned her head slightly and pretended not to see it, which was not very respectful.

It can be seen that Princess Will's prestige is not enough to suppress this concubine.

"Yes, as long as you can convince the soldiers, the position of vanguard officer will naturally be yours."

Princess Will's voice was very pleasant, gentle yet noble, and this elegance was extremely pleasing to Jiang Yi's eyes.

Others didn't notice it or know it, but he could see the fleeting ruthlessness in the depths of the other person's eyes.

Jiang Yi bowed and said, "Don't worry, Princess. This battle will satisfy you."

Princess Will glanced at Jiang Yi, smiled and nodded.

The short-bearded old general who was singing the same tune as the concubine sneered with disdain and glanced around the arena.

Several people received this signal, including two of the three men, the quick knife man and the thin but extremely skilled man.

Especially the man who was good at using a sharp knife, he licked the corner of his mouth provocatively when he looked at Jiang Yi, which was tantamount to a declaration of war.

Jiang Yi did not respond, but looked at the 1.5-meter-long sword behind him. Whether in his previous life or this life, his favorite weapon was the sword.

At this time, Princess Will discovered the problem, because Jiang Yi did not have a weapon in his hand. But before she could speak, the Jiang family mistress had already thrown the spear in her hand over.

Jiang Yi raised his hand and took it, bowed to express his gratitude, and then tried the spear.

It was indeed very light. When I applied a little force, the whole gun shook violently, which was not very suitable for me.

Most importantly, he had no idea how to shoot.

He wanted to return it to Madam Jiang, but he didn't want to refuse her kindness, so he could only use it first.

Outside the parade ground, many servants and guards gathered to watch the fun. A guard leader with a limp looked at Jiang Yi on the field and suddenly laughed in a low voice:

"Brothers, are you interested in taking a gamble to see who will be the vanguard officer in the end?"

When they heard about gambling, the eyes of the guards around him lit up.

It's not that they are addicted to gambling, but the leader Mengchang Meng in front of them is a typical "lose every time he gambles", and has never won. Moreover, he has good character, will not default on his debts, and will not use his power to pressure others, and his gambling money is always generous.

This is a great opportunity to make money, don't miss it.

A guard whispered, "I wonder how Chief Meng wants to gamble?"

Meng Chang took out a silver note of 100 taels from his pocket and said with a smile: "I think Jiang Zongguan will definitely be able to seize the position of vanguard officer in the end. I bet on him to win."

Looking at the silver note of one hundred taels, the guards around were a little hesitant, as the amount was too large.

For gatekeepers like them, their monthly salary can only be converted into half a tael of silver. It would take twenty years of not eating or drinking to save up a hundred taels of silver.

The stakes were so high that they dared not to play.

Meng Chang shook the banknote in his hand and said with a smile: "Let's make a simple bet, whether Jiang Zongguan can become the vanguard officer in the end."

These words made several guards' eyes light up. This was simple. Although Chief Steward Jiang had some natural powers, it was unlikely that he could win the position of vanguard officer.

The most important thing is, with the aura of their leader Meng who "always loses in every gamble", they just need to do the opposite.

All of a sudden, the guards around took out gambling money from their pockets. They were all small change, but added up to dozens of taels.

Obviously, they all took out their hidden savings, hoping to get a bigger share of the hundred taels of silver.

Seeing that no one bet on Jiang Yi to win like him, Meng Chang looked a little unhappy, but he was very happy in his heart. He thought to himself: I can finally get rid of the label of "losing every time I gamble", and this time I can win back all the money I lost before.

Others may not know the true strength of Manager Jiang, but he knows it very clearly, otherwise why would he deliberately make friends with him.

Just as he was secretly happy, a hand suddenly stretched out from the side: "Old man will join in the fun, and work with Chief Meng to beat Manager Jiang so that he can have the last laugh." It turned out to be Old Man Jia, who was guarding the stable.

Looking at the extra fifty-liang silver note, the dozen or so servants and guards around him were secretly delighted, but Meng Chang felt bitter.

"Hehe, what's the matter? Chief Meng doesn't welcome an old man like me to join the game?" Old Man Jia tapped his pipe in the corner.

Meng Chang's mouth twitched. He knew that this inconspicuous old servant was also a person with a following. He could not refuse, so he smiled and said, "It's rare that someone agrees with my judgment for the first time. I'm so happy, especially since it's you, Mr. Jia."

Old Uncle Jia puffed at his pipe and nodded with a smile.

As for the guards and servants, they were all rubbing their hands and waiting, waiting to see how the money would be divided later.

As for Jiang Yi, he held the long spear of the Jiang family mistress in his hand, stabbed it on the ground, looked at the leader under the ring, and asked, "Who will go first?"

The tone was so wild that it caused boos from the entire training ground.

Just looking at his thin body, especially his fair complexion, no one thought highly of him.

You know, although the supernatural powers of gods really exist, they also require hard training. Those who are truly skilled in martial arts all have muscular bodies.

The swordsman with the long sword had no intention of going on stage immediately, while the others were eager to try.

But Jiang Yi was not interested in them, and he didn't want to make too many enemies. It was enough to kill one to scare the monkeys.

The knifeman was the best candidate, and there was no psychological pressure in killing someone who had been harboring murderous intentions towards him.
