In April of the sixth year of Tonghe, a Keju tournament will be held in Nanjing, which will be an unprecedented event, and it will also be a selection tournament to represent the Khitan country on the tour abroad. As early as the beginning of the year, all agencies across the country began to prepare, and after layers of competition, outstanding personnel were selected to form a capable team, which will compete with the official Keju team on April Ding You, and finally determine the personnel who will go abroad to compete.

On the day of the competition, the whole city was in a sensation, thousands of people were empty, men, women and children all walked out of their homes and came to the bow field, vying to see the demeanor of the competition players. Those who could not enter the arena also waited outside the arena, or climbed a tall tree and looked into the arena.

Colorful sheds were erected early in the stadium, and colorful flags were planted around the arena to wave in the wind. The war drums were beating, the horns were screaming, and an inspiring sound reverberated over Nanjing.

Xiao Sui led the harem concubines to sit on the VIP seat very early, the emperor sat next to Xiao Sui, the queen, the imperial concubine also came, everyone laughed and talked, and looked forward to the start of the game.

The wait was long, and the stadium was filled with restless crowds, all talking about the game with great interest and guessing the outcome.

Yelu Longxu was not in a high mood at first, silent, and looked very lost, and he regretted that he could not participate in this competition.

When this game was first brewed, Yelu Longxu was overjoyed and eager to try, but was doused by Xiao Xuan with a scoop of cold water, "What is the emperor doing in the competition?" Do you still want to compete abroad? ”

Yelu Longxu naturally had nothing to say, but he was unhappy in his heart, but as soon as he entered the arena, his whole body was activated, talking highly, analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of the two teams, and predicting who would win and who would lose.

His prediction was different from that of the Imperial Princess, and he predicted that the official team would win because of their physical strength and good horses, which was the basis for winning the race. However, the imperial concubine thinks that the folk team has good skills, high tactics, and after layers of selection, it will inevitably win the game.

The two of them are at one end, and no one can convince anyone. Yelu Longxu was anxious and said, "Why don't we make a bet." ”

The imperial concubine said: "Wow, what does the emperor want to bet on?" ”

Yelu Longxu said: "What does the imperial concubine want to bet on? ”

Hu Yan was about to speak, Xiao Xuan said, "What did you say? What does it look like? How can the emperor bet with others to win or lose, and compete for high and low? ”

Jerodun stopped talking.

Hu Yin said: "The emperor is reckless, it's the fault of the concubines, okay, no matter who wins this game, the concubines will give the emperor a hundred good horses, do you think it's okay?" Emperor. ”

Yelu Longxu said happily: "It's still the imperial concubine who is generous, I thank you." ”

Xiao Sui said: "Since I was a child, you have spoiled him. ”

Hu Yin said: "The emperor is the emperor of the whole Khitan, and the whole Khitan people favor the emperor, how can the concubines not favor the emperor?" ”

Yelu Longxu said: "I know that the imperial concubine loves me, and I will not forget your kindness to me." ”

Hu Yin said: "What does the family say about this? Look at them all in. ”

Yelu Longxu looked back and stood up.

Xiao Sui said, "Your Majesty, you should sit down." ”

Yelu Longxu's face turned red, sat down, pointed to the person entering the arena and said: "Queen Mother, you see, Yelu has entered the arena obliquely, his spirit is very good, and the horse is also very good, with his head raised and tail, very imposing." Behind Yelu was Han Derang, oh, he was in good spirits, his armor was very bright, and the silver light was shining. ”

Xiao Xuan's eyes had already been fixed on Han Derang, and as soon as he appeared, her gaze was straightened. Although, a little far away, I couldn't see his face clearly, but judging from the demeanor of him riding into the field, he seemed full of energy and radiant. He swung the bow pole with crisp force, and there was an aura that swept through thousands of armies. When he hit the first ball, Xiao Sui couldn't help but cheer, happy like a little girl.

At the beginning of the game, the two teams were entangled and fought fiercely. The civilian team led by Huli played a very clever match with skillful skills, and went down first, giving the official team a dismount. The official team immediately counterattacked, pressed on it vigorously, and fought very fiercely. The private team is skillful and skillful in dealing with the official team. The official team couldn't attack for a long time, and they were impatient, and the formation was a little chaotic.

Fortunately, the official team had Yelu Xianzhen and Han Derang to suppress the position, and the two cooperated tacitly, you went back and forth, interspersed back and forth, and finally broke the defense line of the folk team and pulled back a game.

As time passed, as Yelu Longxu said, the physical strength of the civilian team gradually ran out, and the official team took advantage of the situation to attack and scored two more goals.

The official team's goal immediately attracted the cheers of the whole audience, and the shouts vibrated the people outside the field, they all looked up, but they couldn't see anything, so some people wanted to climb the tree, but the tree was already full of people, like a corn cob full of grains, where could they have a place?

They had to look up and ask, "What?" Scored? Did you score? "The mood is more anxious than the player.

The man in the tree then took the commentator: "Yes, the official team scored two goals in a row, and the goal just scored was so beautiful that it was impossible to guard against." ”

Another man in the tree said, "yes, who can defend against this kind of ball!" ”

Another person said: "The key is that the ball is passed cleverly and trickily, who would have thought that the ball would come from there?" ”

"Yes, it's a stroke of genius."

The people in the tree talk to me, it's like a small discussion there. The people on the ground were eager to tear down the wall and go in to watch the battle, but looking at the guards with three steps, one post and ten steps and one sentry, they had to stop their drums, dispel their thoughts, and raise their heads and ask, "How are you now?" How about now? Who scored more goals? ”

The man in the tree said: "The official team is temporarily ahead, but they have fought back." The technique of this Huli room is really good, it was killed from the sandwich of three people, good, good, steady, oops! It's a shame, it's just a little bit short. ”

The man under the tree anxiously asked, "What?" Missed? ”

"But it's not, it's just a little bit, don't you think it's a pity?" Listening to the tone, he wanted to dig the hole a little bigger.

Another person on the tree said: "Don't be sorry, look at the comeback of the Huli room, this time it is the ball passed by Miriji, the Huli room has flashed several people in a row, good." ”

Another person on the tree said: "It is indeed the ball passed by Mirigi, this Mirigi seems to be out of shape, he was almost not seen in the first half, but fortunately he has now regained his confidence, and the ball just now is in place." This time, the official team will have to pay attention. ”

"Who said no, you see, Miriji passed another good ball, Hulimu is so comfortable with the ball, look, he passed, good! I played the ball and scored. Ouch. The man was so cheerful that he didn't pay attention to falling from the tree. The crowd burst into laughter.

At this time, the pot had exploded in the field, and the sound of drums and shouts was earth-shattering, making people think that thousands of troops were fighting desperately. The players are red-eyed, and the audience is also red-eyed, you quarrel with me, and don't give in to each other for the sake of your favorite team. Soldiers and generals quarrel, commoners and nobles quarrel, wives and husbands turn against each other, fathers and sons confront each other, and brothers fight each other. There is no distinction between dignity and inferiority, friendship is forgotten, and everyone is red-faced, as if they want to eat people. The sound of cheering was higher and higher, one after another, and everyone forgot their identities, shouted loudly, and was hoarse. The demeanor also changed rapidly, a moment of joy, in the blink of an eye, grief-stricken; For a while, he clapped his hands and applauded, and in the blink of an eye, he sighed; I was full of confidence just now, but before I finished a sentence, I became discouraged, like a deflated ball, thinking that I had reached the end of my life.

The battle on the field has become white-hot, and the two teams that kill red eyes, if you don't let me and I won't let you, they will do their best to attack and kill. The folk team once had the upper hand with its skillful skills, especially after Mirigi recovered his form, and cooperated very well with Hulimu, hitting a few beautiful wonderful goals, which overwhelmed the official team and conceded a few goals.

However, with their physical superiority and strict and tenacious style, the official team overwhelmed the civilian team, leaving them with no strength to fight against the official team. Even so, the official team still had no way to take the civilian team, and it couldn't be attacked for a long time, and gradually, both sides were a little impatient, and there were frequent rough actions on the field.

At this time, the spectators held their breath and did not dare to come out, and the audience was silent, as if a whirlwind had just blown away, sweeping away all the spectators. There was an occasional exclamation on the field, followed by the beating of drums, as if the drummer had forgotten his duty and needed to be reminded of his duties before he could fulfill his obligations.

Suddenly, someone stood up and shouted, "Not good. ”

The people who climbed the trees also exclaimed, "Something is going to happen." ”

The people of the earth asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The man in the tree said, "It's not a game, so where can the club be played like that?" ”

"Yes, it seems that they are all red-eyed, and if they continue like this, something will happen sooner or later."

Everyone's eyes were glued to the field, holding their breath. I saw Miriji dribbling up, Yelu intercepted the horse diagonally, Miriji made an oblique pass, the ball spared the head of Han Derang's horse that caught up, and flew to the Huli room, Han Derang hurriedly stretched out the club to make a return to the dragon to explore the sea, and fished the ball back alive. Huli Pegasus rushed over and crashed headlong into Han Derang, Han Derang turned over and fell off the horse, the polo bone swirled around Han Derang's head, and Hu Lirang swung down.

Suddenly, all I heard was a "dog minion." "The club in Huli was knocked out of the way by the club that Jerod threw at him. Then, as soon as the shadow moved, Huli had been dismounted by Jerod.

Everyone in the audience stood up. Xiao Xuan's face turned pale with fright, his mouth was open, his eyes were wide open, and his body was straight, as if he had frozen all of a sudden. After a while, suddenly, I heard her shouting: "Kill him, hack him to death." ”

In a few moments, the huli room turned into a mass of meat sauce, and a thick stream of blood filled the bow field.
