Zongwu: Madam, please respect yourself.

"I'll go see you, just wait here.

Don't worry, they often sneak out alone, it's almost normal. "

"Do you need us to go to the ceremony?"

"It's not necessary. They didn't make a big fanfare, which means it was a private visit incognito. Going there would disturb their interest.

It will start soon, and I may not be able to come back for a while.

If you want to win a lottery, just shout outside and someone will come in and record it. "

Sun Ran didn't have too many surprises.

She took Di Ji to the next room.

When they heard the sound of the door opening, the two people who were drinking tea and eating snacks immediately turned their heads.

"Daughter of the common people, I have met the emperor and the queen..."

When Empress Wu saw it was Sun Ran, she immediately looked at the tenth princess: "Youer, didn't I tell you not to disturb my aunt?"

Sun Ran smiled and said, "What's wrong, you're not allowed to come? Then I'll go, so I won't disturb your family's fun."

"Anyway, I'm very happy that you came.

Master Jiu, what do you think? "

Zhao Gou held a dozen rice papers in his hand, which were densely packed with outstanding teams from recent Cuju competitions.

He is also a senior gambler. Although he does not play well, he enjoys it.

Zhao Gou was the ninth eldest son, so when he went out, Empress Wu usually called him Jiu Ye.

“Now that you’re here, let’s sit down and watch together!

By the way, who will win between these two teams today? "

"Of course, they are from Jiankang Mansion!" Sun Ran was full of confidence. She hugged the tenth princess, and stars seemed to be twinkling in her eyes: "This time the people who came to Jian'an Mansion were from the military, and the ones opposite here were from Fujian. , they all just come from the world, and have never registered or competed in the Qiyun Society of Lin'an Prefecture, they are all stragglers..."

……

The game started.

Wu Gong stood at the edge of the window.

It was really novel at first.

But when I looked at him, I felt that he wasn't that good-looking.

After all, the venue was small, looked particularly awkward, and was not as good-looking as later generations of football.

More importantly, the gap between the two teams is too big.

The team with purple satin on their arms kept scoring goals.

The team with blue satin tied on their arms had no power to fight back.

I took a look at the list I got and saw that it was a team from Fujian.

Wu Gong asked A'Zhu with some confusion: "How do you know they will win?"

“It’s simple, they have evil spirits in them.

Although the team in Jiankang Mansion has a military aura, they should be soldiers with a sergeant background.

But maybe I haven’t seen much blood, and there is no evil spirit on my body.

As for these people from Fujian, although they seemed to be free and unorganized, they all had a sinister aura about them.

But it was hidden very well before.

If I hadn't learned to identify evil spirits before, I would have hardly noticed it. "

The highest level of the art of disguise is thousands of people with thousands of faces.

When they were young, the previous head of the Murong family wanted to train them.

Not only did he take them to meet all kinds of people, but they also spent a lot of time with them day and night, in order to learn their aura so that they could disguise themselves and disguise themselves.

"Evil spirit?" Wu Gong raised his eyebrows: "Why do these people have evil spirits?

If they are not sergeants, who do you think they will be? "

A'Zhu stared there carefully for a while.

He hesitated a little.

Finally, he said: "It's a bit like sailors. Their skin is dark, but the skin below the neck has obvious color differences.

Moreover, the skin is rough and has pits and pits, which are traces of sea salt corrosion. Only sailors who have been at sea all year round will have such conspicuous traces on their bodies. "

"pirate?"

Wu Gong almost blurted out.

A'Zhu nodded.

“Piracy has been rampant in the coastal areas of Fujian since ancient times.

However, since Wu Guogong took control of the coastal areas of Fujian, Shuhai cleared the border and killed seven or eight pirate leaders in a row.

The problem of piracy in the coastal areas of Fujian has been effectively alleviated.

However, according to rumors, those pirates were just recruited.

Now it has become Wu Guogong's own maritime fleet, escorting overseas merchant ships to Fujian and Guangdong for trade.

Through maritime trade, Wu Guogong's wealth became increasingly rich. "

"Raising tigers is a source of trouble! No wonder we have to attack Duke Wu first."

Wu Gong muttered and suddenly looked downstairs again.

Under the teahouses in the distance, there were inexplicably many young and strong men.

All of them were hunky-backed and full of evil spirits.

They were whispering to each other and looking at the teahouses covered by white satin.

It seems that he is looking for some target.

Wu Gong immediately took a step back.

Although this white silk cloth can block the sight from outside to inside.

But if you look carefully, you can still see the shadow from the outside.

"A'Zhu, have you seen those people?"

Wu Gong stretched out his hand and pointed towards those people.

A'Zhu frowned and said, "They are looking for people. What they are looking for should be dignitaries in various teahouses.

However, they are not sure where the person is. "

A'Zhu made a very professional judgment: "They have weapons on their bodies, hidden in their clothes and pants, and they are either preparing to assassinate or kidnap!"

Wu Gong nodded: "I don't know, which unlucky guy are they targeting?

Couldn't it be His Majesty the Emperor next door? "

Wu Gong used a joking tone, but then he stopped laughing.

Because those people seemed to have received some order.

They quickly gathered towards Guang Anchun.

At the same time, Empress Wu, who had been laughing at Sun Ran with the emperor next door, and who had misjudged people, suddenly stood up.

She felt full of murderous intent, gathering here.

He quickly walked to the window.

Looking at the crowd coming from below.

A bright smile appeared on Queen Wu's lips: "Master Jiu, it's getting late, and there's nothing interesting to watch in this scene, so why don't we leave first!"

Zhao Gou was stunned and subconsciously wanted to refuse.

After all, a crushing Cuju like this is not so easy to see.

Most of the time, Cuju is more like a literati's game of tea, and both sides are extremely elegant.

It's like dancing.

Ordinary people don't see it a few times a year, so they naturally find it novel.

But if you see someone like him every day, you will feel very bored.

But when I saw Queen Wu's serious face.

Then I knew something was wrong.

No longer hesitate.

"Ran'er, you also come with us."
