Farming game: raise cubs with equipment

Chapter 763 Competition
The corners of Yun Yiyi's lips curled slightly, and she returned him a calm smile.

The queen has seen Bingxi many times, so she is naturally not surprised. She turned her eyes randomly and happened to see this scene.

She subconsciously looked at the emperor.

The emperor seemed to be aware of it and turned his head, just in time to meet the eyes of the empress. When the eyes met, the emperor spoke first: "The empress is not feeling well?"

The queen shook her head slightly: "The concubine is fine."

After finishing speaking, her gaze turned to Yingtai.

The first game started was cuju on ice, Yun Yiyi took a closer look, isn't this modern football?
The two teams stood apart, and following the emperor's order, the chief eunuch stepped up, stretched out his foot and kicked, and the ball rolled down to the middle of the two teams, which was also a signal for the official start of the game.

A member of the red team was the first to react and rushed up. He was skating on his skates, as if he was not running on the ice, and his movements were neat.

Not to be outdone, the blue team greeted people with skates and rushed up.

The members of the red team who grabbed the ball quickly stretched out their hands and wanted to pass it to their own team members, but the members of the blue team slipped through a gap in the middle, jumped suddenly, and snatched the ball in mid-air.

Before he could be happy for a moment, people from the red team surrounded him, and he hurriedly passed the ball to his team members.

Probably because of the long-term cooperation, the team members have a special tacit understanding.

Yun Yiyi was stunned for a moment, these people's hands and feet are too flexible, they can do it so easily on the ice.

This cuju on ice feels like a combination of basketball and football. It is thrown with hands and kicked with feet. There are not many rules. As long as you can score the ball into the opponent's goal, you will win.

"What do Madam Yan think of this ice cuju?" The queen turned her face to the side and asked with a smile.

Yun Yiyi said calmly, "I think it's very special."

The queen said: "Madam Yan hasn't seen the most exciting part yet..."

As soon as the voice fell, Yun Yiyi saw that the actions of the two teams became more intense. The red team had already snatched the ball, made a fake move, and threw the ball high, as if playing back in slow motion. A blue team The people of the red team flew over to snatch it, but were dragged away by the people of the red team.

Before the end of the hour, the ball went into the goal of the blue team, and the first Cuju match was won by the red team.

The emperor commended and rewarded the victors, and then ordered the next game to proceed.

Afterwards, people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs brought feather arrows with red and blue flags tied at the end and distributed them to the red and blue teams. Two shooting targets were hung at the goal of the ice rink. The shape can't stop, shoot with feather arrows in hand, after an hour, count the arrows shot, and the team with more arrows will win.

The red and blue teams slid along an S-shaped arc, and a member of the blue team bowed back and shot an arrow first, hitting the bull's-eye, winning applause from the audience, and even the emperor beamed.

To him, the better they performed, the more it showed that the Great Zhou was strong and talented people came out in large numbers.

The members of the red team did not dare to show weakness. They used their housekeeping skills. Some moved gracefully and posed with a full posture. , people have to be amazed.

The red and blue clothes are intertwined, like a flying scroll, adding a touch of color to the ice rink.

The members of the red team exhausted too much in the previous round, and gradually began to decline. The members of the blue team performed some difficult acrobatic moves one after another, and they were able to hit the target every time they shot, which aroused applause from the crowd.

An hour later, the blue team won without exception, and the emperor laughed and rewarded them.

Soon it was the last game, called throwing pots.

The last game is very important. If you win, you will be rewarded. The two teams are obviously more cautious than the last game. They each won a game. This last game is the time to decide the outcome.

The emperor sat in the middle and touched his chin: "Which team do you think will win this time?"

"I don't know, the old minister, but now the red and blue teams are evenly matched." Zuo Xiang was more conservative.

The right minister looked at the emperor flatteringly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the old minister thought it was the red team. They were particularly eye-catching when they played Cuju."

"Where's Yan Aiqing?" The emperor didn't answer, but looked at Yan Qinghe.

This provoked the Prime Minister to goug out Yan Qinghe again.

Yan Qinghe was not surprised when he was picked, and his expression was still calm: "Wei Chen thought it was the blue team. Although the two teams were exhausted on the field, the red team was obviously weak. In the throwing pot, I believe the blue team can also make a big splash."

The emperor waved his hands and laughed loudly: "Then I'll see if what Yan Aiqing said is right."

Jug is a throwing game. As the name suggests, arrows are thrown into the pot. Whoever has more arrows of the color in the pot wins.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs quickly cleaned up the ice rink for the competition, and then rearranged ten jugs, and then distributed arrows to the two teams according to the arrows of different colors of red and blue.

The rules of throwing the pot are also very simple. If you hit the arrow, you win, but you must throw the whole arrow in. You can't just touch the side or only throw half of it, it doesn't count.

After a break at halftime, the court musicians played 26 pieces slowly to cheer up the guards.

The red and blue teams entered the arena on skates, and each carried a quiver on their backs. This time, they did not need to throw pots during the skating process, but stopped outside a line and threw pots at fixed points.

According to the custom, the emperor casts the first arrow first.

Under the eyes of everyone, the emperor walked out of the line with a smile, took a feather arrow handed over by the chief eunuch, took a breath, and threw the arrow in his hand into the ninth pot, winning the cheers of all the ministers .

"I haven't voted for a long time, but my hands are sore." The emperor laughed.

The chief eunuch hurriedly stepped forward to rub the emperor's wrist: "Your Majesty, you must not hurt your hand."

The emperor's eyes were astonishingly bright: "Don't worry, I know it well."

After the emperor had cast, the two teams began to stand outside the line, and each cast once. The farther the cast, the better.

Each pot is neither far nor close, but there is still a long distance from the first pot to the tenth pot. The emperor can hit the ninth pot at a time, and it is difficult to hit it without years of experience and skills. of.

After punching, the red team throws first.

After the pot throwing officially started, Yun Yiyi found that the surrounding area was extremely quiet, and even the queen who wanted to say a few words to her at the beginning was silent.

She was slightly puzzled, but when she saw that everyone was serious and respectful, she kept her mouth tightly shut and quietly watched the people throwing pots.

The red team will throw the eighth pot at the beginning, and then the blue team will also throw the eighth pot.

In fact, this is a custom. Since the emperor can only throw to the eighth pot, the person who throws the pot cannot go beyond.

It's not good to spread the word, you can't say that you are more powerful than the emperor.

These are all well-known traditions. In order to get a high score, I kept throwing at the eighth pot. Several times, I almost got close to the ninth pot. The person who threw the pot was scared enough, his face was pale, and he was sweating profusely. Luckily, he just brushed past the edge, and the throwing pot failed, and the man patted his chest and left the stage with a happy face.

Why didn't the emperor see the carefulness of these people? On the one hand, he was secretly complacent, and on the other hand, he felt that this approach was too secular.

It wasn't until the last member of the blue team hit the ninth pot without flickering his eyes or shaking his hands, that the emperor's frowning brows relaxed a little. It seemed that there were also warriors in Dazhou.

When everyone saw him hit the ninth pot, they all looked at him with pity, and the man stepped back without haste.

When the last hour comes, start counting the number of arrows in each team.

"Report to Your Majesty, the blue team won." The chief eunuch accepted the note from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and said respectfully.

The emperor spread his hand, and the chief eunuch handed over the notebook clearly.

The emperor squinted his eyes and smiled suddenly.

It turned out that the arrows of the red and blue teams were equal. If it wasn't for the blue team's last arrow, they probably wouldn't have won.

"What's your name?" The emperor looked at the person who had just thrown the ninth pot.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the villain's name is Yang Kuan." The man knelt down.

The emperor put down the notebook and said with a smile: "You are very good, come to my side as a bodyguard in the future."

Yang Kuan was overjoyed, and quickly thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your love."

The emperor smiled without saying a word, and raised his hand to let him go down to receive the reward.

Naturally, this kind of change was beyond the expectation of the pot-thrower. This person offended the emperor, but he could still get a reward. They couldn't help but sigh, if they also went to throw the ninth pot, maybe they would be appreciated by the emperor.

However, only one of these people, Yang Kuan, dared to vote, and the others were just thinking about it. If they really wanted to do it, they might retreat.

The emperor looked at Yan Qinghe leisurely: "Yan Aiqing, it's as expected, what reward do you want?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I don't need anything. If you must reward me, please reward my wife."

Yan Qinghe knew very well that his position was considered high now, if he was promoted too quickly, it would cause jealousy among the officials, so it would be better to ask Yun Yiyi for a reward.

The emperor looked at Yun Yiyi: "Mrs. Yan, why don't I promote you as the second-rank Mrs. Haoming?"

"Then I would like to thank Your Majesty, I am deeply honored." Yun Yiyi did not refuse, but knelt down to salute.

Instead of shyly rejecting it, it is better to accept it openly.

Yun Yiyi's expression is very calm, the emperor wants to reward, can he stop it?

Seeing how flattering she was, the emperor smiled: "I'm tired, so let's stop here for Bingxi."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Yun Yiyi knelt down and her knees hurt a little, the emperor's team had just finished, she quickly helped the servant girl to stand up, this is really an evil old system.

After Yan Qinghe bid farewell to his colleagues, he walked up to Yun Yiyi and asked with a smile, "Is Bingxi lively today?"

Yun Yiyi nodded: "Although the process is complicated, it's quite interesting, but why didn't anyone speak when throwing the pot?"

"When throwing the pot, there is a restraint of respect that is close to courtesy, so everyone is silent."

"I see."
