Chapter 20: We are all people who like to use our brains and are flexible
"Sun Tu?"
Fang Yiai and others frowned when they heard Lin Xiu's recommendation.
There are many powerful and noble children in Chang'an City, each with its own circle.
For example, the descendants of the Guogong were in a circle, with the three brothers Cheng Chuliang, Li Dejian, Qin Huaidao and others. The top civil officials were in a circle, such as Changsun Chong and Du He. There were other circles, and the family backgrounds of members in the circle were divided into different levels.
Like the descendants of Sun Fujia, the minister of Dali Temple, can only be regarded as second-rate children.
So Fang Yiai and the others are not familiar with him.
"Since it was recommended by Brother Lin, it is inevitable that the skills are so sophisticated. I ordered someone to invite you!" Cheng Chuliang shouted immediately.
Qin Huaidao and Li Dejian nodded one after another.
However, when Sun Tu was invited, everyone looked at each other.
This thin guy really knows how to play Cuju?
Sun Tu entered the house and quickly bowed and said, "In the next Sun Tu, I have met Mr. Fang, Mr. Qin, Mr. Li, and the three Mr. Cheng."
Although she is thin, she speaks neither humble nor arrogantly, and she is full of energy, which is a kind of arrogance.
Lin Xiu touched his nose and said that he had just a temporary idea. Because he had no success in visiting Dali Temple last night, he almost died there, so Lin Xiu felt that he could take the opportunity to make friends with the son of Dali Temple Minister.
It was said that Sun Fujia, the minister of Dali Temple, was born as the top scholar, with a height of eight feet and a firm face. He was one of the top representatives among the poor officials of the Tang Dynasty.
So Lin Xiu guessed that Sun Fujia's son was similar to his father.
Who knew that when we met, we had made a mistake.
However, everyone quickly reacted and regained their calmness. Fang Yiai smiled and said, "Brother Sun is not a gift. I'm asking for something this time!"
"Please say bluntly, I will never refuse!" Sun Tu was quite excited. After all, the circle he was in is second-rate and rarely contacted these real powerful children. If he could enter their circle, it would be very helpful to him.
Fang Yiai asked, "Brother Sun can do Cuju? I'm sure Brother Sun, my brother Xiu recommended you and said that you have superb skills in Cuju. We just happened to be in a team to participate in Cuju competition, and there is still one person missing. If you have good skills, I will invite you to participate!"
"Uh..." Sun Tu scratched his cheek and said embarrassedly: "To be honest, I rarely play Cuju! But I have a strong learning ability. Give me some time and I will be able to master it!"
Although Sun Tu said it was swearing, Fang Yiai and others looked at each other and had never played Cuju before. This was not OK.
But this person was recommended by Lin Xiu after all. Although Lin Xiu's status among the seven people is the lowest and the son of the Duke, he impressed others with Lin Xiu's superb skills, profound martial arts, free and easy temperament, and handsome appearance.
So everyone looked at Lin Xiu.
Lin Xiu took everyone directly to the yard, took out a Cuju and threw it to Sun Tu, and said, "Give you five chances, hit the wine pot five feet away with Cuju! If you hit it, you are one of us!"
As he said that, he asked the servant to place a wine pot not far away.
Sun Tu took Cuju and smiled and said, "No need to do five times, three times are enough!"
After saying that, Sun Tu put Cuju on the ground and kicked it hard.
Cuju flew up and down, and it flew only four feet away, and then rolled to the wine pot.
Fang Yiai saw this scene and covered her eyes with her hands.
Sun Tu took Cuju back and kicked it again. This time the intensity increased, and Cuju flew over the wine pot.
The third time, Sun Tu did not act immediately, but set up Cuju, squatted down, raised his left hand and raised his thumb, as if measuring something. Then, he shook his legs, as if looking for the strength of his feet.
And he also weighed Cuju, as if he was measuring the weight of Cuju.
"Brother Xiu, is this guy OK? If it really doesn't work, I called Yuchi Baolin. Although that guy was a little reckless, his skills were nothing to say!" Cheng Chuliang asked.
Yuchi Baolin is the son of Yuchi Jingde, Duke of E, and the son of a Duke.
But Lin Xiu squinted his eyes and stared at Sun Tu, and replied: "He is measuring the data! It's interesting!"
"Measurement data? What does it mean?" Cheng Chuliang said in surprise.
Lin Xiu explained: "I basically hit the range of the bow and arrow. What's the reason? It's just because I'm excellent? It's not all, but because I'm shooting arrows. The parabolic trajectory of the arrow is affected by wind speed, humidity, the tensile strength of the bow string, the angle and force of the launch, etc. As long as I calculate it in my mind, it's very simple to hit it."
"Although I don't understand what you mean, it seems to be very powerful. What do you mean is that Sun Tu is also like this?" Cheng Chuliang asked.
Lin Xiu nodded and smiled, "Such people like to use their brains and are flexible, and they are very happy to get along with him. So you might as well see his last kick."
Cheng Chuliang agreed very much: "Yes, we all like to use our brains and be flexible, so we can get together!"
Lin Xiu:??
Look, Fang Yiai is playing boxing with Cheng Chusi... Well, playing boxing is also a kind of brain-using activity.
At this time, Sun Tu stood up and said to everyone: "I'm ready!"
Lin Xiu signaled him to start.
Sun Tu directly kicked Cuju, and Cuju flew up and hit the wine pot.
Although he hit the target, Fang Yiai, Qin Huaidao and others still felt that it was inappropriate. After all, hitting a fixed target is nothing. Cuju focuses on strength, speed, agility, etc., and it is all-round. Sun Tu is so thin, he may be bullied on the field.
Lin Xiu understood the concerns of the few people, so he threw Cuju to Sun Tu again and said with a smile: "Come again!"
Sun Tu felt warm in his heart. He understood Lin Xiu's meaning. When the two met for the first time, he actually understood himself so well and his abilities.
So, Sun Tu continued to start.
Kicked!
Been hit again!
Kick the wine pot again!
...
After playing ten times, every goal hits the target.
This time, even Fang Yiai and others looked at each other with admiration.
Lin Xiu smiled and said, "Everyone, although Sun Tu is a little thinner, it may have unexpected effects when he comes on the court. His thinness is deceptive and will reduce the opponent's defense. As long as he gets Cuju, I believe he can throw Cuju into the opponent's goal! What do you think?"
Several people nodded.
"I have no objection!" Fang Yiai expressed his opinion.
The three Cheng brothers also nodded in agreement.
Qin Huaidao and Li Dejian believed in Lin Xiu's judgment, so they formally invited Sun Tu to join the team.
This is also equivalent to joining their circle.
Sun Tu is very grateful, and he promises that he won’t drag him down.
Next, there is normal training, as well as on-field cooperation and tactics.
Although it is Cuju, it is no different from the battlefield. It requires tactics to cooperate. Good tactics can be used to crush the opponent. It is clear at a glance which one is higher and which one is lower.
So Cuju is different from gambling, Cuju is a competitive one.
