Chapter 21: Finals!
Fang Yiai and the three brothers Cheng were scratching their heads, preparing to set up a domineering team name and witness their sweeps and win the leader.
Lin Xiu taught Sun Tu's rules and techniques on Cuju.
Lin Xiu spoke very quickly. Sun Tu listened carefully and could keep up with Lin Xiu's speech speed. When asked him, he could still repeat it in the same way.
Even some footing techniques, such as dribbling, hooking, trolling, and stepping, can be mastered by these exquisite skills from previous lives, after he practiced them three times.
This made Lin Xiu secretly happy. Could it be that he discovered the treasured man himself?
"Do you have the ability to remember everything you see?" Lin Xiu asked.
Sun Tu nodded with a smile and said, "Anyway, I have always remembered the books I have read since I was a child."
"Have you read the Book of Rites?" Lin Xiu asked.
Sun Tu nodded.
Lin Xiu said: "Remember the "Confucian Xing" chapter!"
"Duke Ai of Lu asked Confucius: The Master's clothes, the Confucian clothes were with Confucius, and Confucius replied... "Sun Tu did not hesitate at all, and recited them directly.
Lin Xiu listened carefully and nodded from time to time.
After a while, Sun Tu recited the full text and asked, "Brother Lin, can I recite it correctly?"
"I have never read "The Confucian Xing" and I don't know if you memorize it correctly, but judging from your confidence, I believe it must be right!" Lin Xiu said with a smile.
Sun Tu:...
It looks very reasonable!
After Lin Xiu and Sun Tu finished exchanging skills, Fang Yiai and his team names have not yet been confirmed.
"Brother Xiu, which one do you think is better, Shenwu Team or the Yinghao Team?" Fang Yiai and Cheng Chuliang asked.
Lin Xiu looked speechless and said bluntly: "It doesn't sound nice! It's better to call the Shengtang Team!"
"This is great! If you can flatter a saint, just call it this name!" Qin Huai praised.
Others nodded and praised, what other names are better than flattering the saints?
......
Fang Yiai and the three brothers Cheng went to sign up, and the others continued to train.
In the next few days, the Cuju venue in Chang'an City was full of people, waiting to show their might.
Finally, the East Palace finalized eight teams.
The knockout round is the first to select the semi-finals.
The first opponent of Lin Xiu and others was a team composed of several young masters from the Nanya Generals. It can be said that they encountered a strong enemy in the first game. Fortunately, Lin Xiu and his team won the game with their superb skills.
Especially Lin Xiu, with her handsome appearance and superb football skills, she won the MVP of the game. Many young ladies who watched were asking who Lin Xiu was. After all, wearing a Taoist robe is unprecedented in the game.
Unfortunately... these little ladies don't know the signature process, which makes Lin Xiu happy for nothing.
Next is the semi-finals.
Lin Xiu and others encountered a strong team again, and they were teams formed by the imperial guards in the palace.
It can basically be concluded that someone in the Eastern Palace operated behind closed doors, deliberately allowing the Shengtang team to fight against teams with high levels.
Fortunately, the Shengtang team lived up to expectations, defeated the opponent and got the ticket to the finals.
The opponent who competes with the Shengtang team is Changsun Chong's team and Chang'an team.
The members of Changsun Chong's team are: Hou Wenxiu, Changsun Chong, Du He, Helan Chushi, Chai Lingwu, and three men they didn't know.
Helan Chushi was Hou Junji's son-in-law, while Chai Lingwu was the second son of Qiao Duke Chai Shao.
The final will be held in three days.
Since the saints will visit this final, this final has attracted much attention. The gambling house in Chang'an City has also set up a special gambling game. Moreover, the gambling game is not a question of winning or losing, but a bet against what to bet.
All gambling shops are preparing to take this opportunity to make a good deal.
Time soon came to final day.
For team spirit, Lin Xiu had to take off his Taoist robe and put on a white warrior uniform.
Not to mention, Li Dejian's eyes were very good. The selected samurai uniforms were perfectly presented Lin Xiu's handsome appearance. Coupled with the rough three brothers of Cheng, he looked like Pan An.
The facts once again prove that if you are not handsome, you will become handsome if you find an ugly person as a foil, and handsome people will naturally be more handsome.
After arriving at Cuju venue, Lin Xiu and others chatted in the room and prepared to enter.
At this time, the audience came out one after another. Because His Majesty was here, the audiences who could come to watch were all official backgrounds.
In the middle of the audience, a special high platform was built where His Majesty was sitting in person. The seats on both sides were the positions of the Empress, Princess, Princess, and Princess.
As the drums rang out, the audience quickly stopped the sound, and then they were silent.
Then, the inner official sang: "The saint is here!"
Just saw Li Shimin and Empress Changsun Wugui slowly walked over in the aisle in the distance, with several empresses beside him, followed by Crown Prince Li Chengqian, King Wu Li Ke, King Wei Li Tai, King Jin Li Zhi, Princess Changle and Princess Gaoyang.
Walking up to the platform, Li Shimin took his seat, everyone greeted him in unison: "Long live the saint!"
Li Shimin smiled and said, "Today I am having fun with the people and enjoying the Cuju competition together. You are exempt from gifts and no restrictions."
The audience then stood up, sat down honestly, and began to whisper, which was very lively.
Li Shimin looked at Changsun Wugui beside him and said with concern: "What do you think of your health?"
Changsun Wugui said gently: "I am fine. Today is the sunshine and the spring breeze is warm. I just take this opportunity to relax. Today I think the saint is very happy!"
"Is that so? Maybe I'm working hard all day long and I'm rarely relaxing today. You know, I was also a master of Cuju when I was young!" Li Shimin explained.
After a pause, Li Shimin pointed to the important officials on both sides and smiled: "Look at them, they followed me to fight south and north, but now they are old. Next is the future of the children. I also want to see if these children's performance has been eroded by a comfortable life and lost the blood of their fathers."
After saying that, Li Shimin glanced at his sons and sighed slightly.
Whether it is the crown prince Li Chengqian, the king of Wu Li Ke, the king of Wei Li Tai, and the king of Jin Li Zhi, neither is the majestic martial arts of Li Shimin. As the saying goes, the son inherits his father's business, Li Shimin also hopes that his son can fight the world like himself, and can get off the horse and get off the horse and take the pen to Anguo.
How could Changsun Wugui not know Li Shimin’s thoughts? He comforted him: “Isn’t the sage and the lords fighting for the past few years just to see the health and stability of their descendants in the future?”
"Haha, it's still Guanyin maid who understands me." Li Shimin said with a smile.
When Li Chengqian saw Li Shimin's face, he was secretly happy. It seemed that he had taken on this job well.
So Li Chengqian glanced at King Wei Li Tai and asked, "I heard that King Wei is proficient in Cuju, but I thought I would go on stage in person?"
Among the princes, Li Shimin's favorite prince was Li Tai. Li Tai was indeed excellent. He was talented and intelligent since childhood. He was favored by Li Shimin and allowed him to be "unofficial" and could stay in the capital. He also did a few beautiful things, such as editing "Guodizhi" and writing good calligraphy, etc., which can be said to be the most favored kings.
So Li Chengqian regarded this younger brother as his opponent and was worried that his position as the crown prince would be taken away by him, so every time the two communicated, they were sharp.
Faced with Li Chengqian's sarcastic aura, the King of Wei smiled and said, "I heard that the Crown Prince is responsible for this game, so I naturally cannot participate. If I win, wouldn't it mean that the Crown Prince is committing favoritism and fraud?"
"Is that true? You just believe that you can win? I don't think so!" Li Chengqian said sarcastically.
King Li Tai of Wei raised his lips and smiled and said, "In fact, winning or losing is not important, enjoying the process is important. Sweating on the court is very comfortable. Oh, by the way, my brother forgot, Your Highness can't kick him!"
ko!
Just talking about sharp teeth and sharp mouths, Li Chengqian is indeed not Li Tai's opponent.
