The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 167

[Chapter 167 Disheartened]

Wu Yi focused all his attention on the court. He couldn’t help but tremble with nervousness, and muttered: “Go in one more, score one more!”

The game came to an end, and there was less than a stick of incense left. At this time, the physical strength of the members of both teams has reached its limit.

Neither pressing nor passing was as powerful as it was at the beginning.

Because the score was tied, the fans of the ‘Shenwu’ team who had been cheering began to become nervous.

In the Sixteenth Guards Competition, football is different from other sports. In addition to victory or defeat, there is another possibility, which is a draw.

The winner gets three points, the loser gets zero points, and in a tie, each side gets one point.

Under this rule, both sides must strive to win.

Therefore, even in the final stage of the game, the members of the ‘Shenwu’ team were still trying their best to fight.

The fans also cheered for their home team like crazy.

Unfortunately,

the time for burning incense has passed, and the score on the court is still 1:1.

Just when all the fans were desperate and thought that no more goals would be scored, the situation on the field suddenly changed.

A member of the ‘Shenwu’ team made a mistake when passing the ball in the backcourt, and the ball was successfully intercepted by a member of the ‘His Majesty’s Yingming Shenwu’ team.

The No. 11 player who successfully intercepted the ball did not pause at all and rushed straight into the penalty area with the ball.

Three or four defenders tried to stop him, but they were all left behind due to lack of energy.

When the fans outside the field saw this scene, they all stood up and held their breath, not daring to make the slightest sound.

Suddenly, the entire school parade ground became much quieter.

“Shoot!”

shouted angrily, and saw player No. 11 making a shot.

The goalkeeper of the ‘Shenwu’ team hurriedly got into a defensive position, staring intently at player No. 11.

At this moment, something unexpected happened suddenly.

Player No. 11 did not choose to hit the goal. Instead, when he was about to touch the football, he paused for a moment and passed the ball to his teammate No. 7.

Player No. 7 meets the ball and shoots directly.

The goalkeeper never expected that No. 11 would choose to pass the ball at the last moment. He had no time to react and could only watch the football rush into the net.

In the final stage of the game, the score on the field was changed again, ‘Shenwu’ team 1:2 ‘His Majesty’s Yingming Shenwu Team’, a decisive victory!

There was silence in the entire school grounds for several seconds.

All the spectators seemed to be in disbelief and stared blankly at the members of the ‘His Majesty’s Yingming Shenwu’ team celebrating wildly.

After a while, someone finally realized that the ‘His Majesty’s Yingming Shenwu’ team had won!

Then, a burst of shouts instantly flooded the entire school parade ground.

Cheers and curses came and went.

Of course, there were more scolds than cheers.

On the side, Wu Yi looked in disbelief, staring blankly in the direction of the court, speechless for a while.

The whole person seemed to be stunned.

When Fang Xiu saw this scene, he couldn’t bear it. He stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and persuaded him: “It’s just a thousand taels of silver. You have to believe that you will come back after you have spent a thousand taels of silver.”

It’s okay not to persuade him. With such advice, Wu Yi completely collapsed.

The man who had always been strong-willed had tears in his eyes. He choked up at first, then cried loudly, shouting: “My money!”

One second he made a net profit of one thousand taels, and the next second he lost all his capital. His life was full of ups and downs. , nothing more than this.

The same thing happened not only to Wu Yi.

Suddenly, the entire school parade hall was filled with wailing.

Some fans who were carried away by anger rushed into the field and yelled at the players and referees of both teams, but were driven out by the pro-military guards.

Some people who bought Youyu Lin Weisheng cried with joy and knelt on the ground and kept kissing the ground.

All kinds of things in the world are presented one after another on this small football field.

I don’t know how long it took, the players had already left the field for a long time, but most of the fans were still unwilling to leave.

They remained in their seats, staring blankly at the empty school parade grounds, motionless, as if they were lifeless sculptures.

Wu Yi is one of them.

Fang Xiu wanted to persuade him again, but he could see that his face was ashen. After thinking about it, he gave up and just told the servants of the Anqing Hou Mansion to take good care of him.

Although the Anqing Hou Mansion is not short of this thousand taels of silver, the silver only belongs to the Anqing Hou, and there is not much for Wu Yi to freely use.

What’s more, after Anqing Hou left the capital to recuperate, the house’s expenses were recorded one by one by the stewards.

It is already extremely difficult to ‘steal’ some money from time to time like before.

For Wu Yi, this thousand taels of silver was most likely his last savings. If it was squandered in just one stick of incense, no one would feel good.

Looking at the dumbfounded Wu Yi, Fang Xiu couldn’t help but sigh, and sat with him for a while before walking out of the parade ground.

As soon as he walked out of the school review ground, Fang Xiu looked at Zhao Yan beside him and asked, “Do you have a place to stay this time?”

Zhao Yi nodded.

“Then shall I take you back?”

Fang Xiu looked at Zhao Yan and asked.

Zhao Yan thought for a moment and said, “Forget it.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a smile on Fang Xiu’s face, waved to her and said, “Okay, goodbye.”

In the blink of an eye, Fang Xiu was nowhere to be seen.

Zhao Yan was so angry that she stayed where she was and stamped her feet.

“Your Highness”

At this time, a wrinkled old woman appeared in front of Zhao Yi and bowed.

When Zhao Yan saw her, she immediately became well-behaved and no longer looked like an unruly princess.

The old woman was dressed in common clothes. Although she was old, she did not stagger when she walked. Compared with her peers, she looked very energetic and had a special temperament.

She walked up to Zhao Yan with an indifferent expression and said in a calm tone: “Your Highness, it’s time to go back to the palace.”

Zhao Yan nodded and walked towards the palace without much communication with her.

The distance between the parade ground and the palace was not far. The two of them walked and arrived in just one stick of incense.

Walking into the palace, Zhao Yan wanted to go back to her own palace, but when she passed by the Yangxin Hall, she suddenly remembered something and stopped.

Looking in the direction of Yangxin Hall, his brows furrowed slightly, seeming a little embarrassed.

After a while, she seemed to have made up her mind, and instead of going back to her palace, she walked straight towards the Yangxin Hall.

Outside the Yangxin Hall, the eunuch on guard saw someone coming and wanted to stop him, but saw clearly that it was Zhao Yan, thought about it, and stopped.

Princess Anle has always been favored by His Majesty and has a special status in the palace. Apart from the Queen Mother, she is one of the only people who does not need to notify the emperor in advance.

Zhao Yan walked into Nuan Pavilion without any obstruction. As soon as she saw Emperor Chu, she put on a pitiful look. After calling out

“Father,”

full of grievances, Zhao Yan looked at Emperor Chu with tearful eyes. The tears in her eyes kept rolling, as if they were about to fall in the next second.
