The penalty shootout between the Luoyang garrison and the slender man and the team made Luoyang's Keju lovers silent in tension and fierceness for a long time. They began to speculate if the final in a week would bring them new excitement and were looking forward to the winner-winning match. The icing on the cake was that, according to reliable sources, His Majesty the Pope would be present at the arena on the day of the final to be presented with trophies to the top three teams that won the championship.

In the anticipation and discussion of Keju fans, the time of a week is fleeting. Chung Yeung Festival Sunday.

Before dawn, the people of the imperial capital were busy, dressed up in festive costumes and had a little breakfast, and hurried to the nearest church in the city. In order to ensure that the people can watch the wonderful Keju events without delaying their participation in religious activities, under the benefit of Luan Yi, the worship activities of all churches in Luoyang City have been advanced to Yinshi for nearly three months. After listening to the scriptures, praying and singing hymns, the people hastily ate some communion in the church, and hurried to the Imperial Arena.

The magnificent Imperial Arena was filled with people who came to watch the game, and there was a crowd waving flags and shouting, "The Slender Brothers, the pride of the common people." "The Royal Keju Troop, the pride of the Empire!"

The shouts were so loud that they drowned out the cries of the vendors who did business in the arena.

On this day, Luan Yi sat in the VIP seat in the arena early in the morning with several civil and military officers from the DPRK and China, under the heavy escort, and waved to the people around him with a smile on his face; While frowning, he listened carefully to Xun Yu's description of this year's harvest to him. However, although Xun Yu had turned his voice to the maximum, Luan Yi still didn't understand what he was saying after listening to it for a long time, so he waved his hand, "Forget it!" Let's talk about it after the game! ”

"What did you say?" Xun Yu asked with a loud voice.

"I said don't talk about business yet, it's important to watch the game." Luan Yi also shouted at the top of his voice, but after shouting, he found that Xun Yu was at a loss, obviously not hearing anything. He used a folding fan as a pen and wrote down what he was going to say on the ground.

Xun Yu was relieved, nodded, and didn't say anything more.

Moving his eyes to the side, Luan Yi saw that Luan Ping was looking forward to today's game, he knocked Luan Ping's forearm with a folding fan, and wrote on the ground: "Who does Ping'er think can win?" ”

Luan Ping also wrote with a folding fan, "The child thinks that Brother Dianman will be able to win the championship in one fell swoop." After writing, I put on a confident look.

Luan Yi shook his head and wrote, "This kid has to fall a lot today." ”

"Why?"

"You'll know when you watch the game."

The two of them played with a pen chat, which seemed to be exchanging ideas, but in fact, Luan Yi was still indirectly testing Luan Ping's calligraphy attainments. "Ping'er's handwriting has to be practiced again."

"The child has been copying his father's handwriting, but he can't find the way."

"Fighting for my father since childhood, it is inevitable that the words will be integrated into the solemn atmosphere of the battlefield. You were born in a time of relative peace, and you can't learn without going to the battlefield. Why don't you try to copy Akihime's, her handwriting is more suitable for you than mine. ”

"Zhide Niangniang's words are too beautiful. Will the child learn her words too femininely? ”

Luan Yi nodded, "That's right!" Then copy Zhuge Kongming, his words are both masculine and gentle, heroic and introverted, more suitable for you. If you copy to a certain extent and write a lot, you will have your own perception and be able to forge your own style. ”

"The boy wrote it down."

The father and son were chatting happily, but they heard a tsunami of applause in the arena - it turned out that the starting five members of the Slender Man Team and the Imperial Royal Team appeared on the stage.

After the players entered, under the guidance of the referee, they took the lead in front of Luan Yi's VIP area and stood in a row, knocked on the right heel with his left foot, and raised his right hand high to salute, "Meet His Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live." ”

Luan Yi got up and raised his right hand in a chic manner, "May you present a wonderful game for the people of the empire." ”

"The last general/grass people obey."

Luan Yi nodded with a smile, "Spread my will, and the audience will stand up." The national flag was raised and the national anthem was played. ”

The heralds in each area of the venue immediately saw the flag in the direction of the VIP area raised, and according to the prior deployment, they carried loudspeakers and ran around their respective areas to proclaim, "Silence, silence." Your Majesty has an order, all of them stand up, raise the national flag, and play the national anthem. ”

After half a pillar of incense, the bustling Imperial Arena was silent. During this period, the military band also entered the stadium from the passage of the arena, and on the side of the stadium, the iron pole that the people had not known what to do was lined up in an array, and four papal guards wearing bright armor and carrying the national flag appeared under the iron rod.

"Play the national anthem!" The melodious imperial national anthem - "Sing a Heavenly Song" was resounded in the military band, and the choir of the Imperial Tianmen Cathedral sang neatly in the VIP seat, and Luan Yi, civil and military officials, and the imperial pope's personal guards in the VIP seat sang along at the same time, "The river of life, the river of joy, slowly flows into my heart." The river of life, the river of joy, flows slowly into my heart. I'm going to sing that song, sing a heavenly song. The clouds of heaven and the sorrow of the heart were all sprinkled. I'm going to sing that song, sing a heavenly song. The clouds of heaven and the sorrow of the heart were all sprinkled. ”

The people in the arena heard the singing of the VIP area and sang loudly, and 20,000 people sang in unison. Rao is Luan Yi, who has seen a bigger scene, can't help but be enthusiastic, let alone those ordinary people. Before the game began, people were already enthusiastic, with love for the Holy Yuan Era, loyalty to the empire, full of tears as they watched the blood red cross flag rise, and in a trance they felt more and more that their future life would be like this flag, and the sesame seeds would bloom higher and better.

After the two national anthems, the blood red cross flag was raised to the top, and the military music came to an abrupt end. Through the excited expressions of the people, Luan Yi saw that the first flag-raising ceremony of today's empire was very successful, which greatly enhanced the audience's sense of national belonging and honor. He figured out that in the future, there should be more group observation flag-raising ceremonies, not only to raise the national flag before the opening of the large-scale Keju event, but also to raise the national flag in a vacant lot in the park on the north side of the Grand Theater, where the national flag should be raised every morning to attract the people of the empire to come to watch, so as to truly implant the concept of the country deep in the hearts of the people.

"Yes, that's it!" After thinking about this, the Imperial Royal Keju Team and the Slender Man Keju Team had already set up a position on the field in the middle of the arena.

The Imperial Royal Keju team adopts the usual "two-one-one" formation, with two defenders in the center and pawning themselves in front; The slender man also used the formation they are most familiar with, "three zero one" is a striker in the middle of the three back three, in fact, it looks like there is a striker, in fact, this striker has stayed in his own half most of the past games, and will charge forward at the last moment. Therefore, this time, the slender man team is still in an iron bucket formation.

With the sound of a gong in the first half, the Imperial Royal Keju team kicked off first. Noriman's teammate Kwon Seung dialed the rattan ball to Noriman's feet, but Noriman didn't pass the ball and rushed forward with the ball.

Seeing that the striker who looked to be no more than seventeen or eighteen years old rushed towards him, he suddenly turned around and protected the rattan ball with the blocked comer, and pulled the penalty kick back on his toes, and came to the ball and shook the striker over.

This wonderful move drew a cheer from the stands.

Dian Man flashed a person, facing the other two slender men who were facing the oncoming man, he was not afraid, he threw the rattan ball away with a drop on his toes, and pushed the rattan ball behind the opponent with a head goal, and then staggered the two defenders with his strong flesh, rushed through the gap between the two, and took a step closer to the goal.

However, just when he thought he was about to face the goal, something unexpected happened to him - three players from the Slender Men appeared in front of him. Of the three, there were two faces he was particularly familiar with, one was the first young striker he bypassed, and the other was a tall, muscular defender with a strong physique, and behind him was a man with a disgraced face, apparently fresh from the ground.

"So fast!" Dian Man was shocked, he wanted to break through but was already under siege, he was physically strong, and his skills were pure and there was no way out. He glanced at his teammates on the pitch standing in unguarded positions, and wanted to pass the ball to for a moment and didn't know who to pass it to. Give Kwon Seung? No, his footwork is too stinky, even if it is passed to him, he may not be able to break the door and give it to the other two? They are not as good as Kwon Seung......

Just when Dianman was stunned, the young striker of the slender man team stepped out and took the opportunity to kick the rattan ball under Dianman's feet out of the boundary.

After losing the ball, Dian Man was very unconvinced, he spat a mouthful of phlegm on the ground, and said secretly: Isn't the soil bun just running fast! Next time, Lao Tzu's ball will never let you rob it easily.

After receiving the boundary ball from Kwon Seung, Dianman once again dribbled and ran on the court. Trying to break through the layers of defense of the slender team to the opponent's goal, or even take the ball directly to the goal.

However, the physical reserves and tenacity of the slender team far exceeded his expectations, and every time he broke through one or two people with the ball, four slender team members would surround him like a vicious wolf, making him unable to advance or retreat.

In the field, Quan Sheng and his teammates of the Imperial Royal Keju team saw that Dianman was spinning around with the ball like a headless fly but never being able to kill the opponent's penalty area, and they were anxious like ants on a hot pot, "Captain Dian, I'm empty here, pass the ball to me!" ”

There was no response, let alone passing, "I don't believe it...... Ay! ”

The next second the ball was lost, and Gollum rolled out of the sideline.

So the first half of the entire final almost became a full performance, and the game cycled back and forth between his passing and being broken.
