Although the previous football match was very lively, the college had not yet had a holiday at that time. Even if the students were excited and wanted to share it with outsiders, they could not leave the college!
But now that we are on vacation, why don’t the students just go out when they want?
Therefore, the football invented by Li Zexuan and the two small-scale football matches recently organized by Yanhuang Academy were spread in a short period of time!
But what made Li Er helpless was that when Wei Zheng learned that he had gone to Yanhuang Academy to play football with the students, he went to the palace to spray him. It is said that after Wei Zheng left after spraying, the cup in Ganlu Palace was , several vases were broken!
In order to let more people understand the new sport of football, Li Zexuan first wrote an article on the headline of "Datang Daily" specifically introducing the rules of football. In order to facilitate understanding, he also included a simple schematic diagram. Then he took advantage of the students' holiday and deliberately opened the academy for one day, allowing outsiders to come in and watch the football match. As for the people playing on the court, they were all students with good skills.
"Hey~! This Yanhuang Academy is so impressive~!"
"Isn't that right? It is said that Marquis Yong'an spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on this academy~!"
"Hi~! So much money?"
"Hey! Stop making such a fuss! We're here to watch the football match today. It's not too late to go to the academy after the match!"
At noon that day, people who had read the news in the newspaper came one after another. Men, women, old and young, there were thousands of people in total, and there was a steady stream of people coming from behind to watch the fun. The sound was loud and the event was unprecedented!
Without exception, those who came to Yanhuang Academy were first shocked by the magnificent architecture of the academy. Then, under the guidance of the academy's guards, they came to the academy's playground, where the players were doing warm-up exercises.
"Is this football? Doesn't it look similar to the football we used to play?"
"What do you know? If you look carefully, you can see that this football is more elastic! Didn't you see that kid flying so high with just a light kick?"
"Oh~! It's true that you said that, Shouye~! This football is fun! Hey, will I ask my servants to buy one too?"
"Buy~? Where do you want to buy it?"
"Of course it's Qiqi Pavilion? Since this football was made by Yong'an Hou, it must be bought at Qiqu Pavilion!"
"Tch! How long has it been since you, kid, went out? Who told you that Qiqi Pavilion has footballs for sale?"
Today, the Yanhuang Academy is officially open to the public for the first time. There are many princes and nobles coming here, and Xiao Shouye, the eldest grandson of the current prime minister Xiao Yu, is also here!
This guy was newly married and has been having a lot of trouble lately. He heard that there was a lot of excitement at Yanhuang Academy. How could he remain indifferent?
"Well, I haven't paid much attention to these things lately, what's the matter? Suye, you mean to say that Qiquge doesn't sell this thing? How is that possible?"
Another man said in disbelief.
Xiao Shouye curled his lips and said, "How is it impossible? These footballs are so rare! Currently, they are only available in the academy. It is said that His Majesty personally went to Li Zexuan yesterday and asked for fifty footballs from the army. He said they were This will be implemented in the military from now on!"
"Is there going to be a football in the army? Hey, that's great. I'll ask my dad to get one for me later!"
"Lingwu, you better stop thinking about this. There are only fifty footballs in total, but they have to be distributed to hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Sixteenth Guards. It is not enough to begin with. If you continue to use your brain, you will definitely give it to your father. Cause trouble!”
When Xiao Shouye heard this, his face straightened and he warned.
It turns out that the young man next to him is Chai Lingwu, his father is General Chai Shao of Youwei, and his mother is Princess Pingyang. She is a relative of the emperor and has a prominent family background!
However, this boy is obviously not a peaceful master, otherwise he would not have rebelled against Princess Gaoyang, Fang Yiai and others in the fourth year of Yonghui, and ended up dead without any body parts. These can also be seen from what he just said. You can hear it.
"Hey, Shouye, are you too timid? At worst, I can just return it when I'm done playing, right? How could Your Majesty do anything to my father because of a football?"
Chai Lingwu smiled disdainfully and said.
Xiao Shouye shook his head and gave no further advice.
It just so happened that at this time, the football game also started. Although everyone who came to watch the excitement today had read the introduction to the rules of football matches in newspapers, this was their first time seeing a real football match! This feeling is still different.
"Beep~!"
As the headmaster of Yanhuang Academy, Li Zexuan naturally cannot act as a referee again and again. Today's referee is a bearded guest. As the only martial arts instructor (physical education teacher) of Yanhuang Academy, of course he has to do this kind of thing! The bearded guest blew a bamboo whistle, and the game officially began!
"Bang!"
Tiedan kicked off, Wang Meng dribbled the ball deep, and the opponent's players immediately came up to grab the ball. A fierce competition officially kicked off!
There are no prominent students like Li Tai, Li Chengqian, and Li Ke on the field today. They are basically all ordinary students. After all, with so many outsiders present today, Li Chengqian and the others would lose their status by playing football in person!
It was the first time for those who came to watch today to see this novel way of playing football. They felt uncomfortable at first, but after a while, they couldn't help but cheer loudly.
"Okay~! This pass is so damn beautiful!"
"Wow! This is so awesome! Who is this student?"
"The ball went in~! Awesome! That kid is so powerful, he can kick it in from such a distance!"
"Amazing! Isn't this pass so accurate? It passed half the court and it was still delivered to the feet of my teammates! Are all the students from Yanhuang Academy so good at football?"
"The ball has been scored again! What? It was actually blocked by the goalkeeper? Damn! I thought it was scored!"
"Haha! By the way, this style of kicking is more interesting than the one we used to play!"
"Of course! Damn, I want to go up and play a game too!"
"Oh! If I had known, I would have been admitted to Yanhuang Academy!"
"Go! Look what you said, you just passed the exam, but can you pass it?"
Cheers and yells filled the stadium, and Yunshan, which was originally relatively quiet, suddenly became a sea of joy!
As soon as they saw the lunch hour, no one wanted to leave to eat, as if they had forgotten about it. It was not until four quarters of noon, when the game officially ended, that the spectators felt hungry in their bellies, and they reluctantly left. The group traveled together and went down the mountain to eat!
Along the way, they naturally and inevitably talked about the football match just now. As they spoke, everyone was beaming and excited!
This is not over yet. After these people go back to promote it, this football match will set off a wave of football fanaticism among the people of Chang'an!
