At night, Liangshan has become a world waiting for lights. The arena has long been transformed into a stage. Huge bonfires and lanterns illuminate Liangshan in the dark like daylight. People visit the lantern festival and watch the performances everywhere. Qinbei Pavilion
The biggest stage is the ring. The surrounding area is already filled with banquets and people watching the performance. Naturally, there are also civilians watching on the outermost edge.
Sun Lei was sitting at a big table with Hua Chan and Li Shishi, drinking and watching the show.
On the stage were two teams of Cuju masters specially selected by Sun Lei to perform, and the soundtrack was specially selected for "Chicken You Are So Beautiful". This unprecedented music style is very welcome.
The form of Cuju is played for free and there is no goal. Two teams of twenty Cuju masters take turns performing in the field, using their heads, shoulders, backs, knees, feet and other body parts to tip the ball. Just like modern football, as long as you don't use your hands, you can play Cuju. , any part of the body is fine.
The quality of the performance depends on the difficulty of the movements. A good performance will naturally receive waves of applause.
"The level of this player is really incredible!"
Sun Lei looked at the player who was performing so hard and sighed. The player in front of him could play well with the ball. In future generations, he would probably be far ahead of the national football team.
"Brother, these are just ordinary. The big cities, especially Tokyo, have places that specialize in training players for performances. Gaoqiu has raised dozens of Cuju masters in the house."
Shi Qian said with a smile that he had gained a lot of experience after staying in Tokyo for a few days.
"There are also performances like this in Damingfu, but ball building is more popular."
Yan Qing said with a smile that when building a ball, the two teams are separated. A large goal will be erected in the middle of the court, about three feet high and one foot wide. A net will be made of colorful ribbons, leaving only a square mesh of about one foot, which is called "Wind Liu". "Eye", the two sides kick each other, and the ball lands after passing the "Fengliu Eye" to score.
"Haha, if one day Gaoqiu comes over to play Cuju with us, I'm afraid we won't be able to play!"
Sun Lei said with a smile, "Gao Qiu is a master of Cuju. If he had been born more than a thousand years later, he would still be a soccer champion."
"Haha, don't worry, brother. My little brother is also proficient in the art of Cuju. I will definitely come to help when the time comes."
Yan Qing said with a smile, he was very proficient in these fun techniques.
"Then we'll have to rely more on Xiao Yi!"
Sun Lei said with a smile.
After the Cuju performance on the stage, another Zaju troupe joined in and performed a Zaju. The predecessor of this kind of opera was very popular with the public and was suitable for all ages.
While everyone was watching enthusiastically, a fire suddenly lit up in the north, and a large army of soldiers and horses came over holding torches.
"Brother, there was a great victory in the north. All 10,000 officers and soldiers were repulsed, and more than 3,000 were captured. Duan Chang, the infantry captain, was captured."
Xiao Jiasui smiled and stepped forward, clasping his fists at Sun Lei and laughing. His voice was so loud that everyone around him could hear him clearly.
"good!"
Sun Lei stood up and looked at the people who came back with a smile.
"Thank you for your hard work, brothers, please sit down! Let's have a banquet!"
Sun Lei pointed to the empty tables and chairs in front of him and smiled. Because of the cold weather, the food and drinks were not put out in a hurry.
"Thank you brother!"
Everyone clasped their fists in unison, and the sound shook the whole place, attracting everyone's attention at once.
The banquet was served, the drama continued on the stage, and everyone in Liangshan laughed and encouraged each other to drink. It was very lively.
The civilians watching the theater were also happy to hear the news of the great victory. They had already accepted Liangshan Bo and were unwilling to be ruled by Song Ting. If Liangshan could defeat the invading enemies, they could continue to live in peace.
What was different from the joyful atmosphere was that most of the people in the arena thought that with only an army like Hu Yanzhuo's, Liangshan would be able to defeat it with the help of its well-prepared location, but it would be completely different if there were an army of 10,000 who secretly attacked.
"There is also a sneak attack by the army? It's fake!"
Fang Jie didn't believe it. If there were two armies attacking, how could Sun Lei win so easily and still hold the wedding in a swaggering manner.
"It should be true. There are traces of swords on those armors, and they were freshly scratched."
Du Hui, who had always disliked Liangshan, changed from his normal behavior this time. He was responsible for the creation of Mingjiao armaments and was very sensitive to these things. The armor and stomachs of the leaders of Liangshan were full of scratches from swords, and they were obviously freshly scratched.
"This matter cannot be false. Just now they said that three thousand prisoners were captured, including Taiwei Duan Chang. These things will be revealed tomorrow. If it is false, how will Liangshan deal with it?"
Lou Minzhong was silent for a moment and analyzed. He defeated 10,000 troops and captured 3,000 prisoners, including a lieutenant. It is impossible to fake such a big battle. It was dark today and the news was not revealed. By the time tomorrow morning, there would be a hundred-mile radius. The news spread like wildfire and no one knew about it.
"In other words, Sun Lei can marry his wife as if nothing happened, and then his men will defeat 20,000 soldiers?"
Fang Jie looked at Lou Minzhong and asked. He didn't want to believe all this, because even the Ming Cult didn't dare to say that it could be done easily.
Lou Minzhong was silent. He didn't want to believe it all, but the facts were in front of him and he couldn't believe it. There was a huge wave in his heart. Only at this moment did he realize how terrifying Liangshan was. With this kind of strength, he could say that he was not afraid. The court.
"Protector Fang, I'm afraid we will have to renegotiate our attitude towards Sun Lei when we go back this time."
Lou Minzhong looked at Fang Jie and said.
"what do you mean?"
Fang Jie's expression changed and he looked at Lou Minzhong.
"Liangshan is far more powerful than we expected. Such a powerful force can only be friends but not enemies!"
Lou Minzhong lowered his voice and said to Fang Jie.
"Making friends? He has a grudge against our Ming Cult!"
Fang Jie emphasized.
"It's just a slight misunderstanding. It's not worth mentioning compared to big things. The leader wants to do big things. In the future, he will raise his flag to revolt and sweep the world. Jiangnan's manpower alone is still too weak. If you want to do big things, you need some help. Sun Lei's Liangshan is very good. With the strength Sun Lei showed today, the imperial court will not be able to take down Liangshan even if it raises 100,000 troops! Why not make good friends with such strong reinforcements?"
Lou Minzhong shook his head.
Although Fang Jie was a little unhappy after hearing this, he still listened to some of it.
"This matter still needs to be decided by the leader!"
Fang Jie said these last words, and then drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. His eyes looked at Sun Lei who was drinking and laughing in the distance, his eyes full of unwillingness.
"Protector Deng, what do you think?"
Lou Minzhong looked at Deng Yuanjue. This time, Fang Jie came to Liangshan as the leader and Deng Yuanjue as the assistant. After returning, they still need to explain the situation to Fang La.
"Master Lou Tan said it very well. It is far better to form an alliance with Liangshan than to make an enemy. I will make it clear to the leader when I return to the Poor Monk Conference this time."
Deng Yuanjue nodded and said that the people he knew best about Liangshan were Sun Lei and Lu Zhishen. Lu Zhishen was a straightforward person who could tell what he was thinking at a glance, and he was a person worth making friends with.
But Sun Lei was different. He looked cynical and dissolute, but in fact he was very principled and his ideas were extremely extreme, but also reasonable. He couldn't figure it out. In this case, he certainly didn't want Mingjiao to be an enemy of Liangshan. .
"Then let's do it."
Lou Minzhong breathed a sigh of relief. Now he felt a sense of urgency in his heart. Liangshan's strength was suffocating him. This was also forcing them to develop the Mingjiao. Otherwise, Liangshan might be able to crush the Mingjiao in a few years.
