After leaving Cen's mansion, the streets of Chang'an City were already drifting, and there were few pedestrians. Li Ke sat in the car and thought about Cen Wenben's three suggestions to him, and made a decision in his heart. He lifted the curtain of the car and saw Chen Qi riding on a tall horse with a serious expression. He looked around with vigilance. He remembered Cen Wenben's evaluation of Chen Qi: "He is determined, steady, and he is born with a talent for guarding." He couldn't help but remember that he had told Chen Qi that he wanted to find a weapon for him. He wondered if there was an armor warehouse. If not, he should use steel for him to build a good hand. He could not treat such a loyal subordinate unfairly.

In the Tang Dynasty, the most famous one was the Tang sword. As a peak of the development of cold weapons in China, the Tang sword was not only accompanied by the establishment, prosperity, honor, disgrace and joy of the Tang Empire, but also successfully influenced the entire Asian cold weapon culture. With the changes in the form of war, the Yi sword and the horizontal sword in the Tang sword developed into later swords. The Yi sword spread east to Goryeo and Japan, and evolved into the cold weapon of the nation, and to the southwest to become the ancestor of Tibetan swords. Mo sword became the Song sword in the later evolution, and several long swords that changed were all passed down from later generations. The birth and development of the Tang sword witnessed the most prosperous empire in Chinese history. Tang swords were the most brilliant and brilliant in cold weapon culture. Only this article recalls that great history.

So, Li Ke was wondering whether to cast a Tang sword for Chen Qi? Should we develop the Tang sword in advance at this time? At that time, each of his Eagle Guards has a Tang sword, and their combat effectiveness will definitely be improved by unknown level.

Thinking of this, the frame returned to the Han Palace. Li Ke got off the car and came to Juyi Hall. After he asked Chen Qi to leave. Under Yang En's leadership, he summoned the six people selected by Chen Qi to Juyi Hall in the afternoon, and then brought the six people with Yang En to Liu Wen's Tianxiang Pavilion in the backyard.

Liu Wen seemed to know that Li Ke was coming tonight. When he and Yang En arrived at Tianxiang Pavilion, he had been waiting for a long time. After Li Ke finished saluting him, he bowed back to the gift and said to Yang En behind Li Ke: "Crazy Yang, I will leave your highness's safety to you."

Yang En didn't care about Liu Wen's name to him: "Don't worry, Liu Laodao, don't worry, without you, I can still protect Your Highness from safety." After saying that, he ignored him.

Li Ke was about to ask Liu Wen what the relationship between the two was, why did Liu Wen call Yang En the crazy Yang, and Yang En call Liu Wen the old Taoist, but Liu Wen snatched him in advance: "I know that your highness will have questions, but I don't want to tell your Highness for the time being. When the time comes, I will definitely report to your Highness truthfully. I forget that your Highness should not ask Yang En again, and I don't have to mention it to others."

Li Ke became more and more curious, but he knew Liu Wen's character. He said so, but he didn't tell him. He could only say respectfully: "Ke, I promised the master."

Li Ke nodded helplessly. Seeing Li Ke agreeing, Liu Wen ignored whether he was happy or not. He looked at the six people behind him and said, "Are these the six people you chose?"

Li Ke said: "These six people are the best among the five hundred people. What does the master think?"

Liu Wen said calmly: "The qualifications are average, but they are enough." After saying that, he looked at the six people carefully.

Li Ke understood Liu Wen's personality and didn't speak much, but he was worthy. So he returned to the study with Yang En. On the way, Li Ke kept asking about Yang En about him and Liu Wen, but in the end he refused to ask. Yang En was surprised that he didn't speak, but just followed Li Ke silently.

Walking into the study, Li Ke said to Yang En: "Old Yang, I will learn how to shoot from you tomorrow!"

Yang En said: "Not only the spear technique, but also the old slaves who ride and archery skills will be handed over to His Highness."

Li Ke was very happy after hearing this. After instructing Yang En to leave, he began to think about Liu Wen and Yang En in the study, but he was unable to do it, so he had to do it and spread the paper and start drawing it on the paper. He wanted to personally design the clothes logos of the Eagle Guards and the Wolf Guards, so that the two guards had their own characteristics and their own souls.

After a while, the two pictures were drawn. The black-clothed Eagle Guard marked a ferocious eagle head, and the black-clothed Wolf Guard marked a ferocious wolf head. Looking at the two sketches, Li Ke was very satisfied.

Then, he continued to write and write on the paper. Since Cen Wenben analyzed the conspiracy behind his assassination last time, he began to think about how to draw out these black hands. And he was so arrogant these days, the person behind the scenes would definitely not know, so what he needs now is to do something that can attract his attention. And this is the funeral football that Li Ke thought of through the most popular polo in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Ke still knew about polo. Once upon a time, polo competition, as a very challenging competitive sport, was loved by ancient gentry and army. Since Emperor Taizong of Tang, polo was soon popularized in major military states across the country in order to practice cavalry equestrians and chopping techniques. Due to the praise of emperors, polo was quickly popular among the people.

During the Tang Dynasty, due to the opening of exchanges, polo gradually spread to all parts of the world. Until 1908, polo was listed as an official Olympic event for the first time. Polo competitions were held as scheduled in 1920, 1924 and 1936 Olympics. However, Li Ke also knew that polo had high requirements for horses. Therefore, although it was very popular among the people, it did not develop very quickly and was not mature enough.

According to records, in the early Tang Dynasty, polo was popular among the ruling class, and people could only imitate donkey ball due to horse restrictions. The famous donkey teams emerged in Laizhou and Yuncheng, Shandong. Later, with the lack of horses caused by the financial collapse of the Tang Dynasty, the nobles had to use their legs to play Cuju as well as the lower-level peddlers.

Cuju existed in the Tang Dynasty. In "Wenxian Tongkao", it says: Cuju cover began in the Tang Dynasty. Two bamboos were planted, several meters high, and the network was on the top of the net. To measure the ball, the ball worker scored the right and the winners were left by the angular victory. Isn't it a change in Cuju? Here is the Cuju kicking method for a single goal - two high poles stand on the court, with rope nets tied in the middle of the high poles. At a height of six or seven meters above the ground, there is a round hole in the center of the net, which is the so-called goal. This kind of single goal kicking method has continued and has been very complete by the Song Dynasty. There are specific descriptions in many documents of the Song Dynasty.

Based on those descriptions, we can roughly understand the gameplay during the Tang Dynasty. The number of players in the game is equal, each led by a ball head and stands across the net. During the game, both sides must kick the ball to the other side through the goal on the net. Of course, before kicking, there must be cooperation and conversion between the companions. There are certain rules in between, and you cannot kick randomly. The final action of kicking towards the goal must be completed by the head of the ball.

This is also the most important kick, just like the last kick on the football field today. This kick must be played high and accurate, allowing the ball to pass through the high goal. Therefore, compared with modern sports such as volleyball, rattan ball, etc., the single goal is much more difficult.

Because of the importance of responsibilities, the ball head naturally becomes the soul of the team, just like the stars on the sports field today. The goal is placed in the center of the stadium, and the two sides face each other across the net, without direct physical confrontation, and the competition is about their own skills and the coordination ability between their companions. Compared with the previous double goal gameplay, the fun is increased, the intensity is fierce, but the confrontation is greatly reduced.

Thinking of the stars, Li Ke couldn't help but miss the five major European leagues in later generations. Although playing polo is a symbol of identity and a game between nobles, football is a real folk entertainment project, which is worthy of his promotion and development into a national movement. Therefore, he wanted to edit a booklet on football venues, forms, rules, etc. as soon as possible to make everyone familiar with it, and then drive such a sport to emerge throughout the Tang Dynasty.

This is not a problem for Li Ke. Li Ke in his previous life was a super fan and he had already been familiar with football. So soon, he wrote a book about modern Cuju in the Tang Dynasty. Looking at the booklet, Li Ke couldn't help but feel excited. He could promote football in the Tang Dynasty more than a thousand years in advance. This is also a great achievement for later generations. Seeing that it was getting late, Li Ke began to meditate for the luck of meditation to keep his physical strength in a better state so that he could learn shooting skills from Yang En in the morning.

The next day, Li Ke started the busiest day of his life. In the morning, he practiced swordsmanship first, and then Yang En learned gunsmanship. In the morning, he had to learn painting with Dong Boren, calligraphy with Chu Suiliang, and scattered bows and horses in the school field in the afternoon. It was not until the evening that Li Ke had time to do his own thing. He could choose to talk about the arrangement of troops with Su Dingfang, or he could choose to discuss classics, history, and collections with Ma Zhou. At night, he read books and compositions alone, and he was lucky enough to meditate until late, which was a busy life that he had never been.

With this arrangement, Li Ke felt that he had almost no free time in a day, but he still took the time to go to the General Manager and asked the General Manager to make ten footballs for him. The General Manager was one of the nine supervisors of the Five Temples of the Tang Dynasty, and the Chief was one supervisor, one from the third rank; two from the Secondary Supervisor, and the Fourth rank. He was in charge of civil craftsmen's affairs, the General Manager, the Left School, Right School, Lieutenant Colonel, Zhen Guan and other offices, and the Baigong. The receptionist was Su Zhi, and he understood what he had done when he saw the drawings in Li Ke's hand.
