my lord is sick

The Juju competition continued on the second day.

Xie Yan was checking his saddle and club. Xiao Chengzhou led the horse and walked over. Seeing that there were black spots under Xie Yan's eyes, he asked concerned: "Did you sleep well?"

"Fortunately..." Xie Yan said a little unnaturally, last night he examined his heart until the early morning, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his feelings for Xiao Chengzhou were really what Xiao Chengzhou said.

Xiao Chengzhou, who successfully brought Xie Yan into the ditch, patted Xie Yan's head, "Don't think so much, let everything come naturally. You're entering the arena, and you can draw lots later."

Xie Yan collected his thoughts and nodded, saying to himself: "I've always been lucky, and I'm sure I won't be as unlucky as Zheng Peng was yesterday!" Being the first one to play, he didn't even have time to observe other opponents.

However, this time Xie Yan's good luck was not reliable. When he unfolded the sign, he was the first one to appear again.

Touching his nose resentfully, Xie Yan rubbed the tag and threw it away angrily, and said in a low voice: "I didn't intend to smoke it, it rolled into my hand by itself."

Zheng Peng and others rolled their eyes back, only Xiao Chengzhou smiled.

Today is the rematch. The five teams that won the preliminary round yesterday plus one team that came out of the loser's bracket later, a total of six teams will compete.The teammates who had no hope of winning at first, after winning a hard game yesterday, are looking forward to the next game. Even though they are the first to play again, they seem to be more excited than yesterday.

Because of the experience of yesterday's game, today's game process is as difficult, but it will not make the teammates as busy as yesterday, and everyone cooperates tacitly. After this game is over, they will feel better than yesterday. The first round was easy.

The teams that can enter the semi-finals are all good. This makes Xie Yan's ragtag team that has won two games in a row even more impressive. It makes those teams that originally laughed at them let go of their contempt and start to observe their performance. Play and fit paths.

Xie Yan and the others will have even more difficult matches ahead.

In the semi-finals that afternoon, Xie Yan and his team faced Song Yichun and King Yu's team in their last match before entering the final.

"Everyone, be careful of their tricks." Xie Yan said to his teammates before the fight started.

Everyone looked very serious, and they had heard that Song Yichun and his team were ruthless, and would often attack the opponent's team members in places where others would not notice. Found out, and they were fighting in the dark, not heavy, just to disturb the other party, there is no way to report it.

"You should also be careful." Xiao Chengzhou said to Xie Yan.

The previous conflict between Song Yichun and Xie Yan, even if it was intentionally created to make an enemy for King Yu, but after years of tit-for-tat confrontation, it is impossible to have no hatred in his heart, and after the imperial court filed a lawsuit, Song Yichun may really hate Xie Yan up.Song Yichun was a narrow-minded person who would take revenge on every one, so it was hard to guarantee that he would not take the opportunity of the competition to take revenge on Xie Yan.

Xie Yan said: "Don't worry, brother Zhou, how can I not understand Song Yichun's character? I won't let him have a chance to hurt me."

After some deployment, everyone entered the arena.

Before the game started, the players from both sides stood in a friendly salute, because Xiao Chengzhou was next to Xie Yan, Song Yichun didn't want to say anything to Xie Yan, and just cast a sullen look over him, as expected, he had bad intentions.

Xie Yan raised his two fingers forward and poked him in the eyes. Before the match started, the two sides were at war with each other, and the smell of gunpowder was strong.

King Yu's team, the players who join him are all young talents who support him, and their strength is much stronger than those in Xie Yan's team. From the very beginning, Xie Yan's team fell straight down.

There were especially many spectators watching this match. Firstly, Xie Yan and his team’s style of facing up to difficulties aroused their interest. Second, it was the tit-for-tat confrontation between King Yu and King Cheng. Anyone with a discerning eye could see the turbulent undercurrent between these two brothers. Well, both King Huizhao and King Duan wanted to see who would win and lose in this match.

Xie Yan and his team were at a disadvantage at first, but after getting familiar with Song Yichun's offensive rhythm, they slowly started to score.When the score was getting closer, Song Yichun and the others finally couldn't sit still, and started to use dirty tricks.

Kicking competition, because it is an immediate competition, is prone to danger, so the rules stipulate that the opponent's personnel cannot cross the opponent's dribbling route on the dribbling route, and can only interfere with the club from the side, and can use horses to ram. But you can't knock the opponent away from the passing line, and the angle of the collision is also specified, and it can't be greater than the specified angle, otherwise it is a foul.And the collision point can only be limited to the buttocks and shoulders of the opponent's mount, contact in other places is considered a foul, and it is not allowed to touch the opponent's player and mount with a stick.

The regulations are written like this, but the field is so big that it is not accurate for the referee to stand on the edge and only judge whether the violation is with the naked eye. It provides a lot of space for those who like to make small moves.

Song Yichun and the others seem to be very proficient in these small moves, and they beat people very well. It won't hurt very much, and even if it hurts, it won't leave marks on their bodies. The team that met them before must have suffered a lot.Xie Yan's teammates didn't understand this, so they kept being beaten unilaterally.

Xie Yan's team called a timeout several times because of this, and some teammates couldn't help but fight back and were warned of a foul by the referee.

The team that suffered from Song Yichun and the others and lost because of it all watched the game with displeasure. A ball won't get applause, but a group of disdainful boos, and some people in the field kept protesting to the referee, pointing out that Song Yichun and his men made fouls but turned a blind eye.

The scene was noisy for a while.

King Yu was very annoyed when he heard this, and had to ask his subordinates to move more slowly.

Xie Yan was still in charge of batting and attacking. He was watched by Song Yichun all over the court, and he suffered from Song Yichun's frustration several times. Later, under Xiao Chengzhou's guidance, he learned better, and from time to time he used inconspicuous tricks to fight back.After Song Yichun was confessed by King Yu, he obviously restrained a lot. Xie Yan saw this, and with Xiao Chengzhou's help, Yin Song Yichun became smoother.

Song Yichun was in pain all over his body from the joint beating of the two, and kept suppressing the anger in his heart. Finally, when Xiao Chengzhou dribbled the ball and was about to shoot, Xie Yan blocked him from close at hand. The club swung towards the back of Xie Yan's head.

Xiao Chengzhou, who was dribbling the ball and looking for a chance to shoot, was always distracted because he was afraid that Xie Yan would suffer. When Song Yichun raised his stick, his eyes turned cold, and he gave up the chance to score. It hit Song Yichun hard.

The ball flew past and hit Song Yichun directly in the face.

"what!"

Song Yichun let out a scream, and fell off the horse on his back. After a while, he sat up with his eyes covered.

Along with this, there were cheers and cheers outside the arena, all applauding for Xiao Chengzhou, even the referee's warning was drowned out.The referee yelled a few times, and finally got a response from Xiao Chengzhou, and then wiped off his sweat.

The game was suspended, Song Yichun was helped up, King Yu was beside him, looked at Xiao Chengzhou who was driving the horse, and said with a half-smile: "Third brother, you are a bit heavy-handed."

Xiao Chengzhou warned King Yu calmly: "I know you want to win this game, but do you think that with your method, even if you win the game, will Father be happy if he finds out?" The corner of his mouth curled up, "Fourth brother, everything should be done in moderation, don't leave an impression of being unscrupulous in Father's heart."

King Yu's expression suddenly became gloomy.

Only then did Xiao Chengzhou shift his gaze to Song Yichun, his eyes seemed to contain ice scum, and he looked down at the other party, "I still have two chances to foul, and if I let this king see you playing tricks, I will let you stand up!" Enter the arena sideways, and exit sideways.”

Xie Yan also learned from other teammates that if Xiao Chengzhou hadn't made a timely shot, Song Yichun might have punched a hole in his head just now. After Xiao Chengzhou finished threatening Song Yichun, he swung his club in a pretentious manner, "Yes, let you go out sideways !"

This is the suppression of status, even in the seemingly fairest arena, facing the coercion of a prince, Song Yichun had no choice but to swallow his anger even if he refused to accept it.Moreover, his use of these small tricks was nothing more than accumulating hatred on King Yu. After a few games, his goal had basically been achieved.

In the second half of the competition, Song Yichun really behaved honestly. The others had King Yu's warning and stopped making small moves. The competition was finally on track.

Song Yichun's eye turned black and blue in a short time, and the constant tears hindered his game, and he did not agree to be replaced, and his ability to perform on the court was directly reduced by more than half.Xie Yan and the others, without the interference of small movements, turned all their anger into desire for victory, and cooperated more tacitly, so the score quickly caught up.

But it was too late, too much time wasted before, and the score could not catch up in the rest of the time. At the end of the game, Xie Yan and his team lost to Yu Wang and his team by six points, and missed the final.

Xie Yan and the others were very depressed, and the audience also felt regretful, especially those who knew why Xie Yan and the others lost, were even more angry.They felt that if they competed in an open and honest manner, they would not necessarily lose like Xie Yan's team, and even if they lost, they would not lose so aggrievedly.

"These despicable villains have nothing to do with all these dirty tricks!"

"Especially that Song Yichun, except for King Yu, everyone else in their team obeys his command."

"Cut~ Song Yichun hasn't listened to King Yu yet."

"That is, without King Yu's order, Song Yichun dared to do this? King Yu has been neglected by the emperor for a long time, and he wants to take advantage of this competition to get the emperor's attention again..."

Listening to these discussions, Xie Yan was very angry.Tomorrow is the final, and it is the only time Emperor Zhao Yuan will be present to watch. If they win, then tomorrow's final team will have them.As the son of Emperor Zhaoyuan, Emperor Zhaoyuan would definitely appreciate Xiao Chengzhou, but this opportunity has now been snatched away by King Yu.

"It's really shameless!" Xie Yan complained for Xiao Chengzhou in a low voice, "The thing about you falling from the horse before must be the fault of King Yu, because you snatched the job that originally belonged to him."

Xie Yan felt that his guess was quite right, and looked at King Yu with a knife swishing in his eyes.

Hearing Xie Yan's guessing in his ear, Xiao Chengzhou's eyes moved slightly, and then he put his arm around Xie Yan's shoulder, "Don't worry, the result is not as good as King Yu thought, you just now Where was the beating? Go back and apply the medicine."

Being hugged by Xiao Chengzhou, Xie Yan's breath was suffocated, he hesitated for two seconds between the choice of breaking free or just like this, and finally chose the latter, but he was probably nervous, he walked smoothly, walking with the same hands and feet, He stammered: "Arm, it doesn't actually hurt..."

"I see you rubbed your waist before, the wound still hurts?"

"It doesn't hurt, it's just that I'm tired after swinging the ball and bending over for too long."

"Really? Let me take a look when you go back."

"No, no need!"

"It's just the lower back, are you still shy?"

"Who is shy!"

"You don't have to be shy, I've changed your medicine before, I've seen it before."

"I said I'm not ashamed anymore!"

"Well, you're not shy."

"...All right, I'm shy."

"Well, I said you were shy."

Zheng Peng watched the two walk away shoulder to shoulder, touched their heads, and looked at Lu Yu and the others: "Are they completely reconciled?"

"Reconcile?" Lu Yu was puzzled, "Hasn't Xie Yan been coerced by King Cheng all the time?"

Wang Ruidao: "But the more I look at Xie Yan's appearance, the less it looks like what you said. Their relationship seems to be really good."

Everyone else nodded in agreement.

The conversation faded away, and everything looked the same as before, but only the two parties knew that something had changed.

The author has something to say:

Song Yichun: Look at this pot, it's big and round.

King Yu: I, Xiao Chengrui, the strongest backer in Daqi.
