The concierge had already tied up the carriage and took several masters to buy things in the city before taking them to the outskirts of the city.
At first, Chu Hanxiu thought that this Cuju competition was very common, just like the modern big guys draw a court and the two sides have a friendly match.
But before he left the city gate, he didn't feel like it. He noticed that many carriages seemed to have the same destination.
There were also some ordinary people in the city who also went out of the city with their friends.
He asked Helianze, who was riding in the same carriage with him: "Aze, is the Cuju competition we are going to watch large-scale?"
Helianze was also confused: "No, I often go there to watch people play Cuju. They are all fun-loving people from Kyoto. There are several groups of people."
But they soon learned that the scale was not small at all.
Seven or eight hundred meters away from the Cuju venue, they saw groups of guards patrolling in an orderly manner, with bright flags flying everywhere, and loud cheers and sounds of frustration kept coming from the front.
Helianze, who had slipped to the side as soon as he got off the carriage, came back and said excitedly: "We came to the right place today!"
"It turns out that the second prince took over the venue here and held a seven-day Cuju competition. All the people who came to participate were the children of Kyoto officials' families. It didn't matter who came to see them. As long as each person paid twenty cents. You can go in and have a look.”
"It must be very crowded in there." The sun was blazing in the sky, and even with Xia Lan holding an umbrella above her head, Chu Hanxiu still felt hot.
Helianze shook his finger: "It must be very hot outside, but -"
He took out his badge from the Marquis of Jingguo Mansion and said, "I heard that as long as people like us show their identity, they can get inside and it won't be so crowded."
"Let's go." He Lianze tossed his belt and led Chu Hanxiu, Helianjing, Helianzheng and Helianru to a guard.
As soon as the guards heard that they were the concubines of the Marquis of Jingguo and Wu'an, their expressions became a little more respectful. They bowed to them in an upright manner, said something to the guards next to them, and took them to the place where the families of powerful officials were obviously staying. Way out.
Chu Hanxiu and the others looked at the respectful look of the guards on them, and suddenly understood that all this was brought about by He Lian Yao.
In the hearts of many common people and people like the guards who are already in the army, Helian Yao is a god.
This is the god who allowed Dai Viet to end the neighboring state capitals that had been invaded by Qi Kingdom and Dong Lai Kingdom in recent decades.
Even as far away as Pingyang County, in the days after Helian Yao fell from his horse, Chu Hanxiu saw many people in the county going to the temple to pray for him and ask Bodhisattva to bless him.
Helianze looked at the guard leading the way and whispered: "I also want to go to the military camp and become a soldier."
He Lianjing said: "Brother, I'm not allowed to be a soldier. If others hear your words, they will laugh at you."
Helianze pursed his lips, "Anyway, I just want to be a soldier, like my eldest brother, beating the heads of the bastards from Qi and Donglai."
Chu Hanxiu looked at Helianze with admiration. He knew he couldn't do anything, but he still had the heart to do it, which was far better than most people.
He said to Helianze: "You are my brother-in-law's younger brother. Your blood is half the same as my brother-in-law's. Maybe you really have some talent for killing enemies in battle."
Helianze's eyes widened because of his words: "Really, Hanxiu, do you really think so?"
Chu Hanxiu nodded: "Yes!"
Helianze smiled so hard that his eyebrows almost flew up: "Good brother, one day, I will definitely let you be mine... mine..."
Good guy, I have thought so far, Chu Hanxiu said very seriously: "I will be your military doctor."
Suddenly, Chu Hanxiu felt that He Lianze reminded him that it had been almost a month since he was reborn. Apart from trying to see if he could cure He Lian Yao, he had forgotten such an important thing as studying medicine.
Although he has healing powers, the fact that his whole family died one after another in troubled times in his previous life told him that it would not work. The recovery speed of powers in Dai Viet is slow. Once an emergency occurs, there is no other means.
Learn some medical skills and combine them with supernatural powers to gain an extra level of protection!
Helianze put his arms around his shoulders, and the two brothers patted him affectionately: "Okay, from now on I will kill those bastards from Qi and Donglai in the front, and you will be a military doctor in the back!"
Apart from them, there were other dignitaries in Kyoto on the road, all young men, women and brothers.
When they reached the front position, they realized that the excitement was getting bigger today.
I saw that the depressions of the two low hills were tamped extremely flat, and tens of meters were dug around to form a wide field, which is as big as three modern football fields.
There is a game going on above. Two teams of young men wearing dark blue and red clothes are running on the field. The person on the red side is carrying the Cuju ball at the moment. Amid the nervous shouts of the crowd, the ball on the red side With a flying kick, the Cuju ball flew toward the romantic eye in the center of the court.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh, in!"
"Another one came in!"
The drums of the red side were so loud that the sound on the sidelines almost lifted people to the sky.
Needless to say, He Lianze, a football fanatic, had his eyes wide open. He Lian Jing, He Lian Zheng, and He Lian Ru were all attracted by the excitement.
Chu Hanxiu pulled them to sit down where the guard pointed them out. With so many people, it was naturally impossible for them to be as spacious as in their respective mansions, which were all benches.
The people standing behind were ordinary people, and the mountains on both sides were also crowded with people.
The brothers quickly sat down, eating melon seeds and drinking cheese, which made the people next to them envious.
It’s not that they don’t have the money, no one who can sit in this position comes from a high-ranking family, but they didn’t expect this. Moreover, they were dressed in complicated clothes for fear of staining their clothes and ruining their makeup.
The Cuju ball on the red side entered Fengliu's eye again, and the dashing young man raised one hand and ran, making the spectators even more enjoyable.
Brothers Chu Hanxiu and Helianze raised the cheese in their hands. You looked at me and I looked at you, and at the same time, you smiled and rolled your eyes.
After less than half an hour, the game ended with the victory of the red side, leaving half an hour before the next game.
He Lianzheng, who had been sitting on the stool for half an hour, his face a little red due to the heat, asked them in a low voice: "I want to go for a while, do you want to go?"
Chu Hanxiu shook his head: "I won't go."
Helianze shook his head: "I won't go either."
But Helianru stood up and said, "Fourth brother, I'll go with you."
He Lianjing didn't mean that, but stood up and went with them. He was the oldest among the people who came, so he had to watch over them.
Chu Hanxiu and Helianze were waiting for them at their seats. They had already planned to go back after watching today's game and eat Saixianlou's signature dish another day.
Helianze tilted his body, bumped Chu Hanxiu's shoulder with his shoulder, and looked at his dazzlingly beautiful face: "Do you still remember the exciting part of the game just now?"
"The red ball head is very good," Chu Hanxiu said with a smile.
Helianze chuckled and danced: "Yes, it was really good to play."
He leaned close to Chu Hanxiu's ear and whispered: "Well, I know him. He is the eldest son of Xing'an Bo. He comes here to play Cuju whenever he has time."
Chu Hanxiu turned to look at him. There were three titles: Duke, Marquis and Earl. It seemed that the Earl was behind the Duke and the Marquis, but there were not many uncles in Kyoto on one hand. Xing'an Bo's eldest son was already He is a real high-ranking person.
If someone mentioned the identity of a young man to him, Chu Hanxiu might think about marriage, but Helianze...
Helianze said with pride: "He is my best brother outside the Hou Mansion. If there weren't so many people now, I would have to take you to see him. Do you know the flesh on his arms? So, big!!!"
Chu Hanxiu: "......"
Very good, brothers are really only bigger than their muscles●ｽv●
Suddenly, just as Chu Hanxiu and Helianze were chatting, waiting for the next game to start, Fule, the boy who was serving Helianru, ran over panting, with an ugly look on his face: "Third Young Master, Second Young Master and Fourth Young Master. The seventh young master was blocked by young master Fang Yuming from Duke Dingguo's residence."
Helianze cursed lowly, stood up and let Fule lead the way.
Chu Hanxiu quickly stopped him and followed him over.
Before they got close to the place where the dispute occurred, the two heard an arrogant voice, "Why, the Jingguo Marquis Mansion is full of wimps, and they don't even dare to participate in a Cuju competition?"
"Oh, yes, I forgot. Aren't they just a bunch of losers? There is no one named Helian in the court now. Tsk, tsk, I really don't know who let you in."
He Lianjing, Helianzheng and Helianru who were stopped by Fang Yuming were all furious at these words.
He Lianzheng had always had a poisonous mouth. He raised the corners of his lips and said, "Young Master Fang has time to find trouble here, so he might as well persuade your elder brother to be more careful. He failed to pass the martial arts examination in three to five years. He is still a scholar in the imperial examination. If you want to If it weren’t for the title of the Crown Prince, we wouldn’t be as good as the majority of people who came here today to watch the excitement.”
"How dare you, bitch!"
"You are quite brave." Helianru showed no mercy.
After realizing that he was called a bitch, Fang Yuming became furious and shouted to the servants around him: "You guys hold him down, I'm going to tear his mouth out!"
"Do you think it's still the same as before? Marquis Wu'an, the loser who fell off his horse and became crippled and can only lie in bed for the rest of his life, can still protect you!"
Not far away, He Lian Yao, who was carried to the toilet by a healthy servant, looked indifferent, listening to his title mixed with words such as waste and disabled.
The healthy servant who was serving him held the sword at his waist: "Master Marquis, I'll go take a look."
He Lian Yao sat back on the large chair and put his hands on his legs.
He had hardly heard these words in the past six months, but he knew that they just couldn't reach his ears.
Behind his back, many of his former political opponents told him thousands of times. After all, in the past, in order to raise enough military pay, he blocked the way of many people and chopped off many people's heads.
He recognized that the voice arguing with someone was that of the fourth younger brother in the family. Just as he was about to nod and ask Jian Pu to go over and take them away, he heard a voice.
"Don't talk about Master Fang, even if Duke Dingguo and his wife are here today, I want to ask, who are you to talk about my elder brother!"
What He Lianze admires the most is his eldest brother. When Fang Yuming talks about his eldest brother, he means stabbing him in the heart with a knife!
He Lianze was usually smiling and laughing, but his carefree face turned cold and solemn, and he looked at Fang Yuming with eyes that seemed to pierce him.
Many people nearby also changed their expressions when Fang Yuming mentioned Marquis Wu'an.
Here are all the young men and women, or the wives and husbands who are already married. No one has secretly thought about Wu Anhou, who is the most powerful in the world.
They all secretly cursed in their hearts.
But now that the justice of Dingguo has been reused by the emperor, and there is no one in the Marquis of Jingguo's mansion who can support the family except Marquis Wu'an, so no one dares to offend Fang Yuming.
Fang Yuming was frightened by He Lianze for a moment, but he knew that his family was now gaining power, and that the Marquis of Jingguo and Marquis of Wu'an were useless. He sarcastically said, "Am I wrong? Without Marquis of Wu'an, you won't even be able to fight." Don’t you even dare to compete in the Cuju competition?”
"Why, are you afraid that if you lose the game, you won't be able to hold your head high?"
"It's just a game, I'll be one-on-one with you!" Helianze stared at him and said every word.
How could Fang Yuming agree to this? Everyone in the Kyoto circle didn't know that Helianze was an excellent kicker of Cuju.
He said: "What's the point of one-on-one? There is a large venue down there. We can play twelve people on one side. Winning or losing won't be exciting."
As soon as he finished speaking, a dozen guys stood behind him, obviously in a group.
Helianze clenched his hands tightly. He could deal with one-on-one, and he could guarantee that he would win.
But there are twelve people in each team...
"Aze, I'm on the same team with you!" A guy wearing a gray robe stood up, "We often play football, you know how good I am at playing, we can't go wrong."
"And me, count me in." A handsome guy with wheat-colored skin stood up.
"Master Helian, I, my brother once worked under Marquis Wu'an. He admired Marquis Wu'an very much," the tall brother said sheepishly, "I admire him very much too. I will still marry Marquis Wu'an when he gets married." I’m crying.”
Many people nearby laughed out loud. These words were so true. Who was the former Marquis Wu An? He was the dream lover of all the boys and girls in Kyoto.
Not to lie, many people present had heart attacks.
After a while, ten young guys stood behind Helianze.
There's still one left to go, but I can't find the right one.
Those who are interested may not know how to play Cuju, or may not be able to play well, for fear of being held back.
Waiting unintentionally to watch the excitement.
Chu Hanxiu licked her lips and patted Helianze: "I'll do it."
In fact, from the moment he appeared, many people were whispering to each other asking who he was.
I have never seen a face like his in Kyoto. His skin is extremely white under the sun, his eyebrows are beautiful and pure, and he outshines all the young men.
The brother who was the first to stand up and join Helianze's team asked Helianze: "Aze, are you a relative?"
"Well, my husband-in-law's brother."
"It's so beautiful. It looks a little delicate. Can you kick it?"
Chu Hanxiu touched his nose: "The kicking is okay."
Helianze was actually worried about whether he could play, but thinking about what they could play, they were pretty good, so just let Chu Hanxiu pass the ball.
So Helianze said: "Okay, then we are a team."
"Finally we have found everyone, let's go down and draw lots." Fang Yuming glanced at Chu Hanxiu who appeared out of thin air.
"Let's go." Helianze led Chu Hanxiu and his gang towards the venue.
The money came with Chu Hanxiu. I didn’t expect things to turn out like this!
Their husband Hou was already gritting his teeth when he asked Young Master Hanxiu to go out. Now Young Master Hanxiu has to compete in Cuju in front of so many people. Just thinking about it gives him a headache.
He wanted to catch Chu Hanxiu, but there were too many people surrounding Chu Hanxiu and He Lianze, and he couldn't get close to him at all!
Helianjing, Helianzheng, Helianru and others were nervous. They didn't expect that this would happen when they went to the toilet. If they lost...
No, they want to win!
News suddenly spread that the brother-in-law of Duke Dingguo was going to play Cuju with He Lianze, the concubine of Marquis Wu'an in the Marquis of Jingguo's mansion.
Everyone's eyes were immediately attracted. The venue was so wide. In addition to the romantic eyes that were used to compete for the powerful children of Kyoto, there were also two standing up romantic eyes.
But the weather was too hot, and neither the girl nor the brother, who relied on their status, had a serious end.
Now I can finally see the end of the noble and beautiful brother in Kyoto, and the people who are resting and waiting for the next show are all in high spirits.
He Lianze and Fang Yuming drew lots. He Lianze got the red draw and Fang Yuming got the blue draw.
According to the rules, the blue team kicks off first.
Fang Yuming felt that even God was helping him today. He smiled proudly: "It seems that God is going to let me win today."
The people on Helianze's side comforted and encouraged each other. Chu Hanxiu stretched out his arm and asked Xia Lan to tie a red strip of cloth with the red side on him, while whispering: "Fang Yuming came prepared, he didn't dare When playing one-on-one, you know you can't beat you, so you want to use others to hold you down and win the game."
"You must be careful later, I'm afraid he will target you."
According to the rules of the Dai Viet Cuju competition, twelve people on a side are divided into ball heads, Xiaoqiu, Zhengzhao, Toujia, left pole net, right pole net, and Sanli.
After the game starts, the ball head throws the ball to Xiaoqiu, and then Xiaoqiu passes the ball to Zhengqiu, Touqiu, Left Pole Net, Right Pole Net, and Sanli. The ball is passed between them, and they cannot When it lands, it cannot be touched by hands. Finally, find the right moment and pass it to the ball head, which shoots into Fengliu's eye.
A game is divided into two parts, with a break in between.
The tall and slender Helianze lowered his head and asked his servants to tie a red strip of cloth representing the red ball head on his high ponytail.
He nodded solemnly: "I will remember it."
"You are small in stature, don't go head-to-head with the people over there, or you might get hurt."
"Yeah, I remember that too."
The drums of both sides sounded, and twenty-four people from both sides stood on the court, all eyes on the ball.
"Boom!!!" The last drum sound fell, and Fang Yuming of the blue team kicked off the ball. The ball flew high and flew in the direction of Feng Liuyan——
