The happy life of a prodigal

The Emperor Chu stood up, with a strange expression on his face, and said, "However, it is indeed beyond my expectation that the Youyu Linwei won in this way..."

He raised his eyes, glanced in Fang Xiu's direction, and said nothing more.

These few words of Emperor Chu have put an end to the result of the competition. The civil and military officials will not object, and the people in the capital will not object if they win money.

Whoever wins after losing money can find a reason to want to rematch, there is no need to pay attention to them.

The first match was over, and after a short break, the second match was about to begin soon.

After the last competition, Yubayashi's overall points are very close to Zuobayashi.

As long as he wins this game, he can easily surpass Zuo Yubayashi and become the champion of the Sixteen Guards Competition!

Therefore, this game determines the final result of the [-]th Guards Tournament, both the Left Habayashi and the Right Habayashi must win!

"If you ask me, the winner this time must be Zuo Yulin Wei!

Although You Habayashi has never lost, every game is a fluke victory in the final stage, against the stronger Zuo Habayashi... hang! "

"At the beginning, Youlong Wuwei, who was recognized as the strongest, lost to Youbainwei. Don't underestimate any team that entered the finals. I think that with the strength of the two teams, it is possible for either team to win."

"Hey, when You Yu Linwei played against You Long Wuwei, I was there off the field and I could see it clearly. If You Yu Linwei hadn't been opportunistic and used loopholes in the rules to catch You Long Wuwei by surprise, how could he have won? Right Dragon Wuwei!"

"Don't make noise, the game is about to start!"

In just one month, football has swept the entire capital, from the royal relatives to the common people, everyone knows about it, and even has the tendency to spread outside the capital.

Therefore, the referee of this football game did not read the rules again like General Tian An did in the previous game, but emphasized a new rule... offside!

The referee stood in the middle of the review field, facing the direction of Emperor Chu, and said loudly: "Offside, as the name suggests, means that when the offensive player takes the ball, in the opponent's half, the receiving player is closer to the goal than the No.2 defensive player from the bottom. .

Moreover, at the same time, if the ball is closer than the goal, the resulting goal will be called offside and the goal will be invalid.

Other than that, corner kicks, throw-ins, half-court kicks, goal kicks are not offside..."

The offside rule is a rule negotiated by the referee team after the match between Youhabayashi and Youlongwuwei, the purpose is to prevent similar situations from happening.

Regular football watchers are already familiar with the new rules, so they don't have much reaction.

A gong sounded, and the game proceeded as scheduled.

The first kick-off is the right Habayashi Wei.

Chu Huangduan sat upright, with a pair of eyes looking at the reviewing field with interest.

It was the first time for him to watch a football match. During this period of time, he heard that the sport of football was sought after by countless people.

Some people are even willing to sell their property in exchange for a ticket in order to watch a football match, which can be described as crazy.

Therefore, he was very curious, what is the charm of this football.

Next to him, there is a little eunuch who specializes in explaining.

The little eunuch knew a lot about football games, so Liu Cheng pulled him over to be the exclusive commentary for Emperor Chu.

Standing so close to the emperor, the little eunuch looked very nervous and kept wiping his sweat.

It wasn't until the start of the game that he calmed down, as if immersed in football, he forgot his identity and status from the outside world.

"Your Majesty, the wonderful thing about a football game is its uncertainty. Until the last moment of the game, no one knows what the final result will be.

Generally speaking, the closer the strength is, the more variable the game will be..."

The little eunuch lowered his head, looked at the field, and kept explaining to Emperor Chu: "In this match, the strengths of the two sides are extremely close, so..."

Before he could finish his sentence, suddenly, Yubayashi's striker lobbed a shot, and the football drew a beautiful arc in mid-air and went straight to the goal.

The goalkeeper of Zuo Habayashiwei obviously didn't expect that the opponent's player would dare to take a shot in the middle of the field, and he didn't react for a while.

By the time he reacted, it was too late to make a save, so he could only watch the football hit the net, beating his chest and stamping his feet in regret.

Only 1 minute into the game, Youhabayashi scored a goal!

The score... 1:0.

When Emperor Chu saw this scene, he had a strange expression on his face. He glanced at the little eunuch who was explaining and saw that his expression was even more surprised than his own.

The little eunuch was also stunned by this earth-shattering shot, and it took him a while to come back to his senses, and hurriedly said: "Youyu Linwei scored a goal at the beginning, which is a great advantage for them.

As long as they can maintain this score until the end of the game, the final victory must belong to them.

Therefore, the servant guesses that the attack of Youba Linwei will tend to be conservative, and their focus will definitely be on defense, and it is even very likely that in the second half, more defensive players will be replaced..."

Before he finished speaking, the situation in the review field changed again.

Yubayashi's players did not tend to defend after scoring a goal, as he said.

On the contrary, after scoring a goal, their offense became more ferocious.

Even the players who had organized the conduction in the midfield rushed into the opponent's penalty area.

However, the players of Zuo Habayashi Wei had nothing to do with them, because the cooperation of the opponent's players was too skillful.

Whether it is a short pass in a small area or a large-scale transfer, the footwork is controlled very delicately, with almost no loopholes.

In addition, every player's foot skills are also extremely good, far exceeding the level shown in the previous games!

The audience on the field was also shocked by the scene in front of them.

It was originally thought that the skills of Youlong Wuwei players have reached the point of perfection, and it is difficult for anyone to surpass them.

It can be seen that after seeing the strength of the Youba Linwei players, they realized...it turns out that football can still be played like this.

It is no exaggeration to say that under the feet of these people, football seems to come alive.

The Emperor Chu looked at the review field, with an even weirder expression on his face, and asked, "The strength of the left and right Habayashi guards are really similar?"

Chapter 196 Winning the Championship

The little eunuch who was explaining showed embarrassment on his face, wiped off his sweat, and didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, Emperor Chu didn't make things difficult for him, but just refocused on the court.

Right Habayashi defended aggressively, while Left Habayashi had to defend passively.

But You Yulin Wei only conducts outside the penalty area, and has no intention of rushing to break the goal.

They are in the leading position now, and they are not in a hurry. The one who should be in a hurry is Zuoba Linwei.

Sure enough, after being involved for a long time, Zuo Yulin Wei finally couldn't bear it anymore and began to press forward.

The purpose of the right-handed forest guard is obviously to force the left-handed forest guard to press forward, so as to find loopholes in their defense.

The Zuo Yu Linwei's team members also understood their thoughts, but they had to do so.

With players involved in offense, the intensity of defense is bound to drop.

In less than a stick of incense time, Youba Linwei's players entered the penalty area three times, one of which almost scored a goal.

If it weren't for the left Habayashi's goalkeeper desperately blocking the ball, the score on the field would have to be rewritten again.

Of course, being in a highly tense defensive state, Zuo Habayashi's players will definitely have more defensive loopholes.

As expected, there was another attack, and the winger of Yubayashi Wei dribbled the ball and successfully crossed.

The center fights for the top and successfully scores the ball!

The score was rewritten again... 2:0.

At this point, only two-thirds of the first half of the game had passed.

The Emperor Chu looked at the little eunuch who was explaining, and said indifferently: "Is this what you said is similar in strength?"

Hearing this, the little eunuch complained incessantly.

It turned out that their strengths were similar, but who knew that You Yu Linwei was hiding his strength before, and he hid it so deeply that no one could see his flaws.

In desperation, he only changed into one sentence: "Slaves deserve to die!"

Emperor Chu shook his head and said, "I understand the rules of football pretty well, so go down."

"Yes, Your Majesty..."

The little eunuch breathed a sigh of relief and stepped back slowly.

Chu Huang looked at the court again, with a light shining in his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

The one-and-a-half-hour game ended quickly, and there was no doubt that Youba Linwei won the final victory with ease.

The score was fixed at 5:0, setting the largest score gap in the pro-army sixteen guards competition.

In fact, in the first half, Linwei Youba played fairly seriously, but in the second half, he was playing more.

For example, that is the strong and tall No. [-] center forward. In the final stage of the game, he abruptly bumped the ball with his head and rushed into the left Habayashi's goal.

His strong body, iron-like head and superb ball juggling skills make him feel like no one is in the land, and no one can stop him.

This goal also penetrated Zuo Habayashi's last psychological defense, making them almost give up defense.

The pro-military review ended like this, and each of the 150 members of Youba Linwei received a bonus of ten taels of silver.

In addition, there are praises from His Majesty the Emperor.

In this era, being able to be praised by His Majesty the Emperor is undoubtedly a glorious thing that is worth remembering for a lifetime.

Every member of the team couldn't help showing pride on their faces.

Three days later, they will represent the soldiers of Chu State and have three competitions with those guys in the grassland.

Therefore, after a short celebration, they all returned to the camp to continue training.

The competition is over, and the next step is the much-anticipated lucky draw.

Those who win the grand prize can get a lucky gift bag with a total value of nearly 3000 taels.

For the relatives of the emperor and the noble officials, 3000 taels of silver may not be a big deal.

But for most ordinary people, 3000 taels means that they will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.

Therefore, countless people stretched their necks, looked at the location of the lottery in the review hall, and secretly prayed that the lucky one would be themselves.

Chu Huang stood up, looked around, and asked, "Where's Fang Xiu?"

"The minister is here."

Just after the game ended, Fang Xiu walked to the side of Emperor Chu, waiting for his summons.

Emperor Chu looked at Fang Xiu, with a smile on his face, and asked, "I heard that after the competition is over, you will give two big gifts?"

Fang Xiu stepped forward and said: "Return to Your Majesty, it is true...

There is a wooden box in the review field, which is filled with paper slips with seat numbers written on it. The person who is drawn with the seat number is the winner and can get a lucky gift bag.

Of course, in order to show justice, I would like to ask a few adults to verify it first. "

He looked back at the civil and military officials in the arena, and asked, "Which adult is willing?"

Minister of the Ministry of War Ma Wenhua thought for a while, stepped forward, and said, "I will try it first."

He walked down the viewing platform, walked to the middle of the review field, and looked around the boxes.

Then he stretched his hand in again, paused for a moment, then stretched out his hand, looked at Emperor Chu, saluted and said: "I have checked it, and there is nothing abnormal."

Hearing this, Fang Xiu looked again at the seat where the civil and military officials were sitting, and asked, "I wonder if there is any adult who is willing to come forward to inspect?"

Although the lottery drawing was done by Fang Xiu himself, foreign envoys also participated in the review this time. If something goes wrong, Da Chu will lose face.

Therefore, some of the civil and military officials came out one after another, and the officials of Yushitai inspected them carefully.

Everyone is very confident that there is nothing wrong with the lottery box.

Seeing this, Fang Xiu nodded and said, "Since your lords have no objections, then..."

"Wait a minute..."

Before Fang Xiu finished speaking, he heard a voice not far away.

Turning his head to look, he saw King Ning standing up slowly from the side of Emperor Chu and walking in his direction.

King Ning walked in front of him, with a smile on his face, as if he had forgotten the previous grievances between the two, and said in a very polite tone: "This king also wants to join in the fun, Fang Zhonglang will not mind?"

Fang Xiu glanced at him, with a smile on his face, and said, "Please, Your Highness."

Seeing that his expression was normal, King Ning felt a little upset, but he didn't show it. He just nodded and walked towards the lottery box.

When he turned around, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by a gloomy look.
