The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 196
[Chapter 196 Win the Championship]
The little eunuch who was commenting showed embarrassment on his face, wiped his sweat, and didn’t know what to say.
Fortunately, Emperor Chu did not embarrass him and just focused his attention on the court again.
The right feather forest guard attacked aggressively, while the left feather forest guard had to defend passively.
However, Lin Wei, the right winger, only conducted the ball outside the penalty area and had no intention of scoring in a hurry.
They are now in a leading position and are not in a hurry. What should be anxious is Zuoyu Linwei.
Sure enough, after being dragged in for a stick of incense, Zuoyu Linwei finally couldn’t hold it any longer and began to press forward.
The purpose of the right feather forest guard is obviously to force the left feather forest guard to press forward and find loopholes in their defense.
The members of Zuoyu Linwei also understood their thoughts, but they had to do this.
If players are involved in offense, the intensity of defense will inevitably decrease.
In less than a stick of incense, the players from the right wing Linwei entered the penalty area three times, one of which almost resulted in a goal.
If the goalkeeper of Zuoyu Linwei hadn’t blocked the ball desperately, the score on the field would have been rewritten again.
Of course, being in a highly tense defensive state all the time, the Zuoyu Linwei players will definitely have more defensive loopholes.
As expected, there was another attack, and the winger from the right winger dribbled past and successfully passed the ball.
The center fought for the top and successfully scored the ball!
The score was rewritten 2:0 again.
At this time, only two-thirds of the first half of the game had passed.
Emperor Chu looked at the little eunuch who was explaining, and said calmly: “Is this what you call similar strength?”
When the little eunuch heard this, he complained in his heart.
It turned out that their strength was similar, but who knew that Lin Wei, Youyu, was hiding his strength before, and he hid it so deeply that no one could see any flaws.
He had no choice but to say: “You deserve to die!”
Emperor Chu shook his head and said, “I understand the rules of football. You can go down.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
The little eunuch breathed a sigh of relief. Back away slowly.
Emperor Chu’s eyes looked towards the court again, his eyes shining with light, as if he was thinking about something.
The one-and-a-half-hour match ended quickly, and there was no doubt that Lin Wei, the right winger, won the final victory with great ease.
The score was fixed at 5:0, setting the largest score gap in the Sixteenth Guards Tournament between the pro-army forces.
In fact, in the first half, Lin Wei, the right winger, played quite seriously, but in the second half, he was more playful.
For example, the strong and tall No. 10 center, in the final stage of the game, hit the ball with his head and rushed into the goal of the left feather guard.
With his strong body, iron-like head and superb ball-bobbing skills, he is like no one and no one can stop him.
This goal also penetrated the last psychological defense of Zuoyu Linwei, causing them to almost give up defense.
The pro-military review ended like this, and each of the one hundred and fifty members of the Youyu Lin Guard received a bonus of ten taels of silver.
In addition, there are also compliments from His Majesty the Emperor.
In this era, to be praised by His Majesty the Emperor is undoubtedly an honorable event worth remembering for a lifetime.
Every team member’s face showed pride involuntarily.
Three days later, they will represent the soldiers of Chu State and have three competitions with those guys on the grassland.
So, after a short celebration, they all returned to camp to continue training.
After the competition is over, what follows is the much-anticipated lottery draw.
The winner of the grand prize will receive a lucky gift package worth nearly three thousand taels.
For the royal family members and noble officials, three thousand taels of silver may be nothing.
But for most ordinary people, three thousand taels means food and clothing for the rest of their lives.
Therefore, countless people craned their necks, looked at the lottery location in the school parade ground, and secretly prayed that the lucky winner would be them.
Emperor Chu stood up, looked around, and asked, “Where is Fang Xiu?”
“I’m here.”
As soon as the game ended, Fang Xiu walked to Emperor Chu’s side, 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 are going to give out two big gifts?”
Fang Xiu stepped forward and said: “Back to your majesty, it is indeed like this
. There is a wooden box inside, filled with slips of paper with seat numbers. The person whose seat number is drawn is the winner and will receive a lucky gift package.
Of course, to be fair, I want to do it first. Please verify it with some adults.”
He looked back at the civil and military officials in the field and asked, “Which of you would be willing?”
Ma Wenhua, Minister of War, thought for a while, stepped forward and said, “I will give it a try first. Try.”
He walked down from the viewing platform, walked to the middle of the parade ground, and looked around the box.
Then he put his hand in again, paused for a moment, then stretched out his hand, looked at Emperor Chu, and saluted: “I have checked it, there is nothing abnormal.”
When Fang Xiu heard this, he looked again at where the civil and military officials were sitting, and asked, “Is there any other adults who are willing to step forward for inspection?”
Although the lottery was Fang Xiu’s own doing, there were still many people participating in the review this time. There are foreign envoys, and if something goes wrong, it will be a big loss.
Therefore, some people from the civil and military officials came out one after another, and the officials at the Yushitai examined it carefully.
Everyone was very confident that there was nothing wrong with the lottery box.
Seeing this, Fang Xiu nodded and said, “Since you adults 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 Prince Ning slowly standing up from the side of Emperor Chu and walking in his direction.
Prince Ning walked up to 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: “I also want to join in the fun, Fang Zhonglang will not mind, right?”
Fang Xiu He glanced at him, with a smile on his face, and said: “Your Highness, please.”
Seeing his expression as usual, Prince Ning felt a little unhappy, but did not 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.
Unlike others, he was particularly serious about checking the lottery box. He walked around the box three or four times and looked at it carefully from beginning to end, and then put his hand into the box.
Prince Ning is a careful person. When the civil and military officials inspected the box before, he made it clear that there was nothing wrong with the box.
However, he discovered that after reaching into the box, the expressions of several people, especially the officials at the Yushitai, changed instantly.
Although the change only lasted for a moment and returned to normal, his intuition told him that there was something fishy in this decision!
Maybe
that’s the problem!
