Not long after lunch, Asahina Taehyung took Yu Qiuping, who was resting, to the arena to warm up, along with ten of Asahina's Keju masters. There was still more than half an hour before the start of the game, but the area around Kemari was already crowded. It seems that for the sake of this game, several circles of seats were temporarily installed around the central Okemari Stadium, which is somewhat similar to the style of the Roman gladiatorial arena. Now the innermost two or three laps are already full. In the very center, there are several private rooms suspended above the ground, which are probably for the samurai.

Outside the stadium, there were many small vendors selling food, and many farmers who came from outside the city to watch the game had not eaten lunch, and were thirsty and hungry, which could be regarded as making them a lot of money.

Yu Qiuhei and Asahina Taiheng and others warmed up on the west side court, and a moment later, Okabe Masana also warmed up with another group of people on the east side court. From time to time, the two sides spoke to each other, and the smell of gunpowder was full. During this period, Asahina Taihyung also deliberately kicked Kemari on the head of Okabe Masatsuna, and the latter, who was annoyed and angry, threw Asahina Taihyung's Kemari out of the court. Asahina Taehyung immediately angrily stepped forward to snatch Okabe Masatsuna's kemari, and the players on both sides immediately surrounded him, seeing that the game was about to turn into a brawl.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the venue, and the crowd was boiling. It turned out that it was Imagawa Yoshimoto's sedan chair that arrived, and several circles of spectators on the periphery hurriedly got up from their seats and kowtowed. Surrounding Imagawa Yoshimoto's sedan chair were nearly a hundred heavily armed flag warriors, each with distinct armor and sufficient clothing to make Yu Qiuping envious.

As early as half a day before the start of the game, there were already many ninjas from the Imagawa family patrolling around the venue. Yu Qiuping also knew that there must be a lot of plainclothes ninjas hidden in these audiences.

It was followed by the Imagawa clan's ox cart, the Se family's ox cart, and the Katsuyama family. Among them, Yu Qiuping also recognized Imagawa Kaede's ox cart at a glance. He sensitively glanced at Okabe Masatsuna opposite, and sure enough, the latter also noticed the ox cart, and was looking over there with straight eyes at the moment, when the curtain of the ox cart was suddenly quietly lifted, and Imagawa Kaede's small face was revealed from it. She looked at Kemari and was surprised and pleasantly surprised to find that Yu Qiuping actually appeared in the first team of Asahina Taehyung, she originally thought that Yu Qiuping was still in the territory. smiled slightly, blinked his eyes, and greeted Yu Qiuping. Okabe Masazuna happened to be in the middle of Yu Qiuhei and Imagawa Kaede, and he mistakenly thought that Imagawa Kaede was greeting him, and hurriedly waved his hand excitedly. Kaede Imagawa frowned, brushing the floor and re-closing the curtain.

By the time the dignitaries were seated, the people who had given way had returned to their places, and the eight rows of seats in the audience were almost full. Imagawa Shinya came to the sidelines, changed into a kemari costume, and sat comfortably in a chair, letting a few servants rub his legs, and by the way, instructing others to bring the lanterns.

When everything was ready to stop, and the time came to the first moment, the players on both sides of the field took their seats. In this match, whoever scores 3 goals first on both sides will be considered to win. If no one scores 3 goals by 8 minutes, the side with the most goals wins.

With Imagawa's order, a kemari was thrown high into the field. Asahina Taihyung and Okabe Masatsuna were unceremonious, and rushed face to face, and the two of them jumped to the top together, but Keju didn't hit anyone, but the two of them hit a person and turned over. Yu Qiuping hurriedly stepped forward to fill in the position, and before the support of the Okabe family arrived, he hooked Keju back with one kick and controlled it at his feet. When the opponent's two wingers pressed forward, Yu Qiuping quickly passed the ball to his own winger, and he retreated to stabilize the defense.

"Here! Pass it to me! As soon as he got up, he shouted excitedly, asking the winger to pass Keju to him immediately. The winger did not dare to disobey his son, so he had to give up the vacant seat and honestly pass Keju to Asahina Taehyung. Asahina Taihyung didn't care about cooperating, and rushed in with Kemari, and immediately encountered a three-person bag, and Kemari was also snatched by Okabe Masatsuna. After Keju was broken, he couldn't get over the face of Hinai Taehyung, refused to return to the defense, and beckoned two wingers to come together to fight back. As a result, the whole formation was messed up, and Masatsuna Okabe found an opportunity to score a goal.

The audience outside the arena remembered the grand cheers, and a lantern was also hung high on the side of Okabe's house. Okabe Masatsuna triumphantly showed off in front of the lady's private room, but Kaede Imagawa deliberately lowered his head not to look at him, but quietly paid attention to Yu Qiuping.

"Damn! I'm so angry! Again! Asahina Taehyung didn't have any remorse at all, but waved his hand vigorously and kicked off from the backcourt, and once again took the ball to the front court alone, he showed good footwork this time, and he connected the two of them like a bamboo, but he was still ruthlessly stealed, and after Kemari passed to the feet of Okabe Massuna, the opponent counterattacked again. Asahina Taehyung didn't care about others, and commanded four people to surround Okabe Masatsuna, and after Okabe Masatsuna picked up the ball and passed it, Yu Qiuhei immediately faced a 1-4 situation. He blocked left and right, and failed to prevent a volley from a striker on the opposing side, and the score became 0:2.

However, after this time, Asahina Taehyung became even more annoyed and angry in the cheers of the audience outside the court, and did not give Yu Qiuping a chance to persuade at all, so he rushed forward with Keju again.

"Asahina, that kid, it's not okay to kick like this." Imagawa Yoshimoto looked at the battle below, "It's only been less than a quarter of an hour, and I've conceded two goals in a row, and the game is coming to an end." ”

"Matsuchiyo was too eager to do it, and he wouldn't cooperate." Sena said with a smile, "I saw Momiji talking to him several times, but he didn't have a chance." ”

"That kid's defense is amazing, but 1 to 4 is really helpless." Imagawa Yoshimoto stroked his palms and laughed, "I'd like to see what he can come up with." ”

In the private room next door, there are the daughters of many samurai elders or the younger sisters who have not left the cabinet. Since this was a formal occasion, except for Kaede Imagawa, everyone had a thick layer of powder on their faces, and their eyebrows were also specially drawn. However, after all, teenage girls can't be idle, and they also start chattering about which player is the most handsome and powerful.

"Masazuna-sama played so well!" One girl exclaimed, "It's already 2:0." ”

"In other words, Taehyung-sama usually shouts about how great he is to bow, but it's nothing more than that." Another girl helped.

"But if you look at the looks...", another girl blatantly said something contrary to female morality because there were no elders nearby, "which one do you think is the most handsome?" ”

"I feel..."The first girl pointed to Yu Qiuping, "The one standing behind Taehyung-sama with oblique bangs is the best-looking." ”

"Huh! I think so too! It's sunny, the facial features are good-looking, and the figure is also very good! Another girl sighed with a smile. The conversation of the companions around him made Imagawa Kaede's cheeks red, and his heart was a little jealous, but a little proud.

"Whose son is he? I've never seen him in Sunpu Castle again. The first girl to speak asked, and she looked around at her companions, but everyone shook their heads.

"I'm like," said the girl, "I saw him once in the castle tower, and he seemed to be with Sena-sama." ”

"The son of the Sena clan?" Another girl took over, "I've seen him, probably not." Lord Shiyi spends all day in the money eye and study, and basically doesn't bow much. ”

"Who is that..."Several girls were worried, and suddenly, the girl had an idea and poked Imagawa Kaede, who had been focusing on the game and not chatting, "Kaede, don't you live in the castle tower?" Who is that boy? ”

"He," Imagawa Kaede blushed and said hesitantly, "I've seen him, but I don't know who it is." It seems to be... That Yuqiu-sama? ”

"Lord Yuqiu? Autumn foliage! It was given the horse seal by the main hall himself! Kaede Imagawa's words immediately caused a sensation around him.

Keep your eyes back on the field.

The Asahina family, who had conceded two goals in a row, had been forced to the edge of the cliff, and Asahina Taehyung was annoyed and angry, and wanted to break into the battle alone again, but was pulled by Yu Qiuping.

"Big brother! You're so prodigal again! We're going to lose! Yu Qiuping didn't want to lose face in front of Imagawa Kaede, and he was a little anxious at the moment, and shouted in a low voice: "Can you not be too lonely!" ”

"! You kid! Asahina Taehyung also shook his hand very dissatisfied, "Lao Tzu can usually play six!" Feel bad today! The next goal will definitely be scored! ”

"Big brother, I can't afford to try!" Yu Qiuping grabbed Asahina Taehyung's hand, "If you lose one more goal, we'll be finished!" In the future, every time the eldest brother kicks the juju, that little eye will come to find trouble, and let the eldest brother give up the venue, what a shame! ”

Asahina Taihyung was choked by Yu Qiuping's words, and he thought that he would not be able to be robbed of the venue by Okabe Masatsuna arrogantly in the future, so he was angry. "Huh!" He scolded in a low voice, "Then what do you say!" Don't you kid have a lot of ideas! ”

"We're on the edge of a cliff now, so let's stop fighting." Yu Qiuping pulled several players around him over to discuss, "We play defensive counterattacks, everyone shrinks in the half court to defend, and when they make mistakes, we will counterattack when we have the opportunity!" ”

"But I can't defend! I've always been an attacker! Asahina Taehyung spread his hands.

"Then I'll take command, and you all listen to me." Yu Qiuping said, "Now we are standing in a semicircle, protecting the eyes of the merry, three people in the outer circle are blocked, two people in the inner circle are filling, and I stay in the innermost to respond." ”

After some whispering, the Asahina family returned to the field, and everyone stood up in line according to Yu Qiuping's request. Yu Qiuping, who kicked off in the backcourt, had no intention of attacking at all, and kicked Keju slowly to the feet of Okabe Masatsuna.

The audience was stunned, and the surrounding spectators and players on the field were all confused.

"I want to attack," Yu Qiuping laughed, made a provocative finger movement at Okabe Masatsuna, and shouted, "Let's attack and see!" ”

Because of the silence in the audience just now, Yu Qiuping's provocation was exceptionally clear. When did Okabe Masatsuna suffer this kind of humiliation, especially Yu Qiuping also went against him three times and twice, and even said a waka in front of Imagawa Kaede that he couldn't do right anyway, old hatred and new hatred, Okabe Masatsuna rushed over directly with the ball like thunder.

Okabe Masazuna rushed, and the surrounding teammates hurriedly followed, and the formation was scattered at once. The fastest Okabe Masazuna immediately faced the dilemma of Asahina Taiheng just now, the three of them sandwiched one person, easily broke the ball, and Asahi Bina Taihyung took advantage of the confusion of the opponent's formation, rushed in with Keju, raised his foot is a volley, and Keju perfectly drilled through the Merry Eye. 1:2。

"Let's attack!" Yu Qiuping pointed to the lantern, laughed, and continued to provoke Okabe Masatsuna. Okabe Masatsuna was annoyed and angry, and he was about to rush up again.

"Young boy, let's take our time." Several surrounding players hurriedly grabbed Okabe Masatsuna, who was angry, "It's just one goal, attack well once, and you will win." ”

It seems that Okabe Masatsuna is a little more persuasive than Asahina Taiheng, and he quickly calms down. However, the counterattack just now scared the Okabe family, and they only dared to let three people attack through the half. The three of them passed the ball frequently and tried to break through, but under the command of Yu Qiuping, the three people on the outside stuck to their positions, and the two people on the inside took turns to change positions, and they never gave the Okabe family a chance to attack. Okabe Masatsuna couldn't bear it, and he wanted to force through the defense with Keju, but Yu Qiuping immediately rushed up to make up for the defense, and it was another 3-on-1, and Okabe Masatsuna's ball was broken again. However, Yu Qiuping saw that the opponent's back row was in a proper position and had no chance to counterattack, so he kicked Keju back to Okabe Masatsuna.

"You kid! What do you mean! Asahina Taehyung couldn't hold his breath at first, and yelled at Yu Qiuping, "Okay, what are you going to do with Keju back to others!" Finally snatched it up! ”

"We don't have a chance to fight back, we have to wait for them to show their flaws." Yuqiu spread his hands, "Give them a chance to attack, and we can defend patiently." ”

"Why don't you attack well!" Asahina Taehyung asked.

"It's too risky, and it's better to defend more defensively, isn't it?" Yu Qiuping muttered, "Hurry up and get your seat, they're going to attack!" ”

This time, Masatsuna Okabe tried to attack again with two people, but he still couldn't break through, he barely shot a long shot, and under the interference of the perimeter defense, he only hit the frame of the Merry Eye, bounced to the ground, and was caught by Yu Qiuhei, and then easily returned it to Massuna Okabe.

"If you want to attack, come and attack." Yu Qiuping smiled evilly again and provoked his fingers, provoking Okabe Masatsuna.

"This kid, that's bad." Imagawa Yoshimoto looked at Yu Qiuping's approach, and was amused in the private room, "I don't want to take the slightest risk of attacking, just waiting for the defensive counterattack to catch the flaws of the Okabe family." ”

At this time, in the next room, the ladies were also confused.

"What do you mean by this Momiji-sama, why did you give Keju to someone else?"

"That's it, they're still behind, why don't they attack?"

Hearing the unclear discussion of the girls around him, Imagawa Kaede was slightly happy. She understood Yu Qiuping's routine, and relied on patient defensive counterattacks to find opportunities. And to provoke Okabe Masatsuna, the purpose is to make him lose his cool and throw more people into the attack, thus exposing his flaws.

"Really, can't you have a fair duel?" Imagawa Kaede complained dissatisfiedly, "I know defense, and in addition to defense, I think about those ghost tricks." ”

After receiving Yu Qiuping's provocation again, Okabe Masatsuna couldn't help it at all, and shouted for everyone to go with him. Although several other people persuaded him that the Okabe family didn't need to be like this, but Okabe Masatsuna didn't pay attention to everyone's suggestions in order to show his face in front of his sweetheart, and rushed up with four people.

This time, the defensive pressure was a bit high. Masatsuna Okabe and another man took the lead off the ball and penetrated behind the defensive line. Woo immediately asked Taehyung Asahina and another defender in the inner circle to block the pass line one-on-one, while the outside trio shrank slightly to focus on the person who controlled Keju on the opposite side. Yu Qiuping himself stayed in front of the merry and was ready to fill in at any time.

The two fullbacks of the Okabe family saw that they couldn't break through, so they ran in both directions to the bottom line, and the two outer circle defenses of the Bina family were forced to move with them, and after the center was exposed, Masatsuna Okabe and another penetrating winger ran in the opposite direction to ask for the ball, and the two markers were caught off guard and had no time to cut off the pass, and were taken by Okabe Masatsuna. Masatsuna Okabe turned around and shook off his defenders. Just as he was about to rush forward, Yu Qiuping immediately caught up to fill the position. Seeing that he couldn't break through immediately, the players who were making up the defense were coming quickly, so he had to pass Kemari to another infiltrating winger. Yu Qiuping guessed his passing route, broke Keju with a sword step, and then immediately quickly rushed forward with the ball to launch a counterattack, rushing to the front court towards Bina Taehyung, and Yu Qiuping kicked a long pass into the frontcourt. Asahina Taehyung also did not stop the ball, a scorpion swung its tail, and in front of the opposing defender, shot the Keju pad into the eye of the merry. The score came to 2:2.

Amid the cheers of the audience, Yu Qiuping quietly pulled Asahina Taehyung over and whispered a few words. The players of the Asahina family shouted in celebration, and the players of the Okabe family looked angry and depressed, and they were counterattacked by the defense twice in a row, and they were not happy no matter what.

The people in the audience cheered for the players on the field, but Kaede Imagawa and Yoshimoto Imagawa invariably noticed the small action of Yu Qiuping pulling Asahina Taehyung.

"I guess you're thinking about some kind of tricks again." The two thought in unison.

Kicking off again, although Masatsuna Okabe was already angry, at this moment, the desire to win also prompted him to make a steady choice. No matter how provocative the Okabe family was, they refused to press on all fronts, but only 3 people went to test the attack. Okabe Masatsuna has already discovered that as long as there is no good opportunity, Yu Qiupei will not risk attacking at all, but will return Keju to him in a humiliating manner.

This time, the Okabe family returned in vain, and Kemari was cut off by Akihei Woo and Taehyung Asahina. But there was no flaw in the position of the three people in the back line of the Okabe family, and Yu Qiuping did not launch a counterattack, but took Keju and walked slowly forward towards Bina Taehyung, and at the same time, he sat in the provocative posture of hooking his fingers, and muttered: "If you want to attack, come and attack and see." "The players on both sides were so tired and out of breath after so much hard work that they seized this opportunity to put their hands on their knees and bend over to catch their breath. Wait for Yu Qiuping to return Keju to Okabe Masatsuna before starting a new round of attacks.

Okabe Masatsuna looked at the provocative eyes of Yuakihei and Asahi Hina, and became angry, and scolded, "You guys are kind of attacking!" Shrinking turtle! ”

Before the words fell, Yu Qiuping, who was about to pass Keju to Okabe Masatsuna, suddenly changed his footsteps, kicked Kemari's right foot and changed direction violently, and Kemari flew diagonally forward. It's too late, it's fast, and Asahina Taehyung, who was still grimacing at Okabe Massuna a second, has suddenly rushed to the backfield of Okabe's house at this moment. The defenders, who were gasping for breath and resting on both sides, were caught off guard, and no one could come up to make up for it, so he padded at Bina Taehyung's chest, pulled his foot and shot angrily, and bowed through the Merry Eye.

The Okabe family, who was waiting for Yu Qiupei to kick Keju to them, was stunned to see Asahina's sneak attack succeed and score a goal with almost no defense.

3:2。 The Asahina family wins. The audience stood up and cheered, and the players of the Asahina family hugged each other on the field to celebrate.

"Yuqiu, this kid!" Yoshimoto Imagawa, who was sitting in the private room, laughed nonstop, "No matter what, the choice is right!" ”

"Really, can't you play in a decent way?" Imagawa Kaede watched Yu Qiuping celebrate excitedly with a headache, "It's another sneak attack!" As he spoke, a smile suddenly crossed the corner of his mouth.
