Back to Tang Dynasty to be Emperor

On the edge of the Wei River the next day, it was a little more lively than yesterday.The novelty and splendor of yesterday's opening match was well-known in Chang'an City. Therefore, early in the morning, many people flocked to the venue, and some of them carried stools in case they stood on them to watch when they couldn't see them.Su Dingfang and Dugu Mou each came down earlier with their hands. Although the first day of the competition went smoothly, they did not dare to be careless at all. As long as the competition is not over, they must guarantee their safety to the end.It wasn't too late for Li Ke to come, Ma Zhou, Liu Rengui, Ye Xi and others came with him.Li Ke sat down at the VIP table, looking at the crowd on the third floor and the third floor, he felt a sense of pride spontaneously.

However, what surprised him was that Wu Juran didn't come.Could it be that something happened?Li Ke felt impossible.Maybe, the samurai didn't want her out.Li Ke thought so.

According to the order, in the second game, the two teams in the second group will decide the outcome. In this group, Chai Zhewei's team and Li Zongshao's team met.Therefore, Chai Zhewei and Li Zongshao first told their players some game precautions outside the court, and then came to the VIP table.Cheng Huailiang and Yu Chijun's teams came late because there was no game.

Li Ke looked at Chai Zhewei and Li Zongshao, and said: "Fourth brother and fifth brother, today we will see your two teams." Chai Zhewei said worriedly: "My team is incomparable with the third brother's, and I am afraid it will not be as good as yesterday. *." Li Zongshao also said: "Yes! My team is not as good as the fourth brother's."

Li Ke said with a smile: "You two virtuous brothers don't have to worry, as long as you try your best, there will be no bad games." Chai Zhewei and Li Zongshao felt that what Li Ke said made sense, so they each called their followers and told them to tell their team Captain, you must do your best to treat the game.

Before the start of the game, Ma Zhou asked Su Dingfang and others to silence the noise of the audience.Then he walked up to the commentary stand and shouted: "Everyone, be quiet. Regarding yesterday's game, there are two things that I need to explain to you." The audience all looked at him and listened attentively.Ma Zhou raised his voice and said: "The first thing is that some people commented that it would be unfair for teams to compete in two groups. If two strong teams meet, one of them will be eliminated. What I want to tell you is that this is just a practice match. , a method adopted temporarily. For the future Chang'an City Games, the Cuju Division has a set of fair and reasonable competition procedures. As for how to implement the procedures, we have specially published a book about the new Cuju kicking method, which contains detailed instructions. Explain, this is also the second thing I want to say, that is, we will give this book to everyone for free, as long as anyone who comes to the game on the day of the finals, everyone has a chance to get this book." Just as Ma Zhou finished speaking, the audience There was a moment of cheering.

At that time, the game officially started. Chai Zhewei's team was obviously stronger. They played offensive games as soon as they entered the field. Li Zongshao's team could only retreat in an all-round way. With momentum, you can only be beaten passively.Less than a moment after the kick-off, a striker named Tengchong from the Chaifu team shot through the goal of the Lifu team with a powerful and heavy volley.The Chaifu team became more and more courageous as they fought, and scored three goals in a row.

In the second half, the Li Fu team started to counterattack. After several hard-fought fights, they finally broke through the five-finger barrier of the Chai Fu team's goalkeeper. The defensive line caused confusion, and the captain of the Chaifu team quickly adjusted his tactics, replacing the No. [-] forward with a center forward, occupying a favorable position in the midfield, and his defense and defense were in an orderly manner.Shortly before the end of the game, the Chaifu team broke out again, and Tengchong took advantage of a corner kick to score another goal.

The referee rang the bell and the score was fixed at five to one.The disparity in the score is more like a suspense, which makes the audience addicted to the eyes.

In the third game in the afternoon, it was the turn of the two teams from the third group to play. The two teams were from Cheng Huailiang's Cheng Mansion and Yuchi Jun's Yuchi Mansion.Compared with the morning, the number of spectators only increased. Some people even went up to the trees and watched the game from a high position.Although the strength of the two teams is relatively weak, as players, as long as they are on the court, they can't help but have the fighting spirit.

Due to the lack of defensive experience of the two teams, the gates of both sides were breached one after another, and the tired goalkeeper was in a hurry, wishing to have more hands.As a result, on the court, players scored goals from time to time. During the whole game, both sides came and went, staged a goal battle. In the end, Cheng Huailiang's Chengfu team was superior and narrowly defeated Wei Chigong by [-]-[-] goals. team.

The audience was dumbfounded. The frequent goals were like pebbles thrown into the water. Among them, there was a wave of unrest and another wave, cheers, applause, and one wave was higher than the other.Li Ke smiled. It seemed that God was helping him. He was kicked so happily in a game that he had no idea about. An unexpected surprise hit his heart, and Li Ke secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

At the end of the game, Ma Zhou stepped down from the commentary platform. Liu Rengui had gathered the captains of the three winning teams in the middle of the field. He said: "One of these three bamboo sticks is long and the other is short. Whoever draws the long one will advance directly to the team."

After hearing this, the three captains hesitated for a moment, then stretched out their hands to draw bamboo sticks, their expressions slightly nervous.Ye Xi waited for the other two to finish smoking, and took the remaining one in his hand, but it was the longest one, Ye Xi was slightly happy in his heart.This means that the Dinghan team not only advances directly, but also can recharge their batteries because of a bye.It also means that one of the two teams of Chai Zhewei and Cheng Huailiang will be eliminated.

Sitting on the VIP table, Chai Zhewei and others congratulated Li Ke one after another.Li Ke said politely: "Thanks to the acceptance of all brothers, you have worked hard these two days." Chai Zhewei said to Cheng Huailiang: "Second brother, I don't know who in our two teams can learn from the third brother?" Cheng Huailiang said: "Tomorrow I will know after the game." Chai Zhewei was not reconciled, and asked Li Ke again: "Third brother, which team do you want to meet with my second brother's team?" Li Ke was slightly startled, and then joked: "You two teams The teams are so brave, I can't deal with any of them." Hearing this, everyone couldn't help laughing.

Where there is Cuju, there must be fans.After three cuju games, there was a cuju craze in Chang'an City.On the street or in the empty field, there are people playing cuju from time to time. Among them, there are men, women, and some children, in groups of three, or in groups of two, playing with gusto.In order to get closer to the competition, some people began to inquire about the source of the new Cuju ball, wanting to find another one to satisfy their curiosity, and also to play the new Cuju ball well.

Li Ke seized this opportunity in time, just as the craftsmen sent by Su Zhi had already taught several servants in his mansion how to make new balls. Ye Xi's parents, the families of the wolf and eagle guards in the mansion, together with the servants, made balls for sale every day.Everyone's parents were very moved to have a livelihood to maintain their lives. They worked hard, and Li Ke paid them generously.

Since the start of Juqiu Workshop, the business has been booming.Li Ke specially arranged for a trusted aide to be in charge of managing Cuju Fang's accounts and income.Furthermore, Li Ke thought of ball uniforms and sneakers. He can develop products by himself, and he certainly doesn’t have to worry about sales. He decided to start these things after the rehearsal game.
