Chapter Forty-Nine: The Game Begins

The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings...

After a series of events, the situation in Bianliang City suddenly calmed down eerily.

When Zhao Yu met Zhao Huan and Zhao Kai again, they were brothers, friends and brothers, and they were in a harmonious situation, as if nothing had happened.

In addition, whether it is Lu Shisang of the Ming Sect, or Zhang Shun and others of the Jiangnan Cao Gang, they all seem to have disappeared out of thin air and have never appeared in the capital again.

And that strange stone was quickly forgotten by people after a while of freshness, and it is undoubtedly the World Football League that people are paying most attention to now is getting closer and closer.

Under the intentional spread of Zhao Yu and Li Yan, all state capitals received the news and sent football teams to participate.

Everyone knows that the ball game was secretly manipulated by His Royal Highness King Yi and General Manager Li, so the state capitals sent teams not only for the game, but even with some kind of political purpose.

Because the game changed the original way of playing Keju, after each team arrived in Beijing, the first thing to start was various adaptation training.

For a while, all the inns in the capital were full, not to mention, and the slightly more spacious places were also fenced off as temporary training places.

Zhao Yu knows that this is the charm of football, but unfortunately, the majesty and fine traditions of the ancestors have been lost by those unscrupulous descendants of later generations.

Because the date of the ball game was getting closer and closer, Lu Junyi finally chose to stay, but he had already felt that His Royal Highness King Chuyi was going to Yan Qing, so when Zhao Yu proposed to let the two of them stay and help, he directly gave Yan Qing to Zhao Yu.

Lu Junyi's move is undoubtedly very wise, because this not only shows that he is generous, but also with a rich and noble family like him, it is definitely beneficial and harmless to marry a prince.

Who said that a good man doesn't have the heart to tie up with the powerful? It's just that some people do it obviously, and some people hide it better.

Yan Qing began to be a little unhappy, Lu Junyi is half of his master, although he is now out of the blue, but he has been sold into the Lu Mansion since he was a child, and he has long regarded the Lu Mansion as his own home in his heart, and now he was suddenly given to the prince by the master, and he really couldn't adapt to it for a while.

However, there is a process for everything, Zhao Yu always treats Yan Qing as a brother, and a little Brother Yi screams, and slowly, the balance of Yan Qing's psychology also begins to favor Zhao Yu's side.

The game is getting closer, and the peripheral halls controlled by Zhao Yu have also begun to accept bets.

Good gambling is human nature, during this time, Zhao Yu's subordinates gradually controlled almost all the casinos in Bianliang in an almost open way, even those casinos with powerful backers behind them, are also on the verge of being crushed.

Now everyone on Bianliang Road knows that they would rather offend the government than offend Brother Yan, and without the protection of the Flying Eagle Banner, basically don't want to do anything.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was September 15th.

Early in the morning, there was already a sea of people outside the stadium, but although there were many people, there were Kaifeng Mansion officials and Zhao Yu's subordinates to maintain order, and the audience who entered the stadium was also orderly.

The stadium gates and all around the stadium are also clad in red and green to celebrate the occasion, and the drum band and firecrackers are ready to wait for the start of the game to be announced.

Don't think that watching the game is free, the viewing angle is different, and the entrance fee varies from ten to the same.

In addition, it is not allowed to bring food and drink in the stadium, because there are those sold inside, as well as hand rackets, jersey banners, etc., anyway, as long as there are things that can make money, Zhao Yu is almost not a fall.

Now Zhao Yu has a feeling of racing against time, so he must seize every opportunity to make money.

The first match was the most important, with a team composed of palace guards and a team sent by the forbidden army of the capital to play.

Because these two teams are recognized as strong teams, it is up to them to make a good start.

In order to create momentum, Zhao Yu and Li Yan invited Emperor Huizong and a number of high-ranking officials and dignitaries to watch the game.

Emperor Huizong is typical of not doing his job, and he likes to be lively the most, but this is the first time he has seen a scene like this, and he can't help but be excited when he looks at the ant-like audience in the audience around him.

Today, Emperor Huizong did not wear formal clothes, but he was dressed in brocade and gorgeous clothes, and surrounded by nobles, came to the arena like the stars holding the moon.

Such a good opportunity, how could Li Yan, Liang Shicheng and others miss it?

What is the prosperity of the Ming Jun, the world is so peaceful, and so on, one after another, Emperor Huizong was a little stunned.

But today he didn't come to listen to the praise, and he just sat down for a while, and he couldn't wait to call Zhao Yu over.

"Why don't you start yet?"

"Back to my father, there is a prosperous world, today is the first day of the competition, when the father personally ordered to start, so as to bless the game smoothly and prosperously"

This sycophant was patted without any traces, and he was extremely shameless, and immediately compared the ministers who were touted with flowery rhetoric just now.

Emperor Huizong was really happy, nodded and said, "Then let's start!" ”

"Sons obey orders!"

Zhao Yu bowed and saluted, then turned around and made a gesture to Liu Heizi, who was waiting on the sidelines.

After Liu Heizi got the instructions, he turned around and waved his hand, and then there was a noise of gongs and drums, firecrackers, and the cheers of the surrounding audience were also higher and higher.

After the drums and firecrackers, with a whistle, the game officially began.

This kind of confrontational game, mainly based on offense and cooperation, each team of twelve players, no goalkeeper, the goal is a foot high basketball board like something, on the top of a slightly larger than the football round hole, such a goal for the player requirements are not generally high, but also more reflective of the level of the player.

The game time is one hour, divided into upper and lower courts, and the halftime is two pillars of incense time, with goal difference as the final winner.

The palace guards wore moon-white jerseys, and the Praetorian team wore red jerseys.

The head of the palace guard team is the head of Emperor Huizong's imperial juju, and his ball skills are very superb, and he personally led the team to participate in the competition.

The strength of the forbidden army team should not be underestimated, because their head coach is Gao Yu, this buddy is not at a good level as an official, and the ball is really good, due to his identity and age, although he can't play in person, but the team that came out of him in person, his skills are beyond doubt.

The players all know that the emperor and Gao Taiwei are on the school review stand, in order to fight for their boss's face, at the beginning of the game, the two sides quickly entered the state, and the red and white jerseys came and went on the field, echoing each other, and it was very good-looking.

The applause and cheers of the audience in the stands were also higher and higher.

Emperor Huizong and the ministers on the review stand, although they had all seen the Keju competition, never thought that this kind of competition would bring people so much fun, and after a short period of stunned, they also began to cheer for their favorite teams.

Among all of them, only Zhao Yu was the most sober, because he knew that with Gao Yu's shrewdness, this was not destined to be a fair game, but what did this have to do with him? As long as there is money to be made, it will be fine.

And Zhao Yu knows very well that today's real drama is not here...
