23. Exhibition matches

Thanks to Daji's charter, the scope of our activities has doubled. But he still couldn't reach the core of the palace, and he didn't have the opportunity to see Daji and Su Xiansheng again. Even Mr. Ishiji began to see the dragon all day long.

However, it is still quite nice to walk around the palace garden in the gorgeous new clothes you have just acquired, or to look at the mountains and forests outside the palace and the herds of elk that occasionally come and go in from the pedestal.

It's just that the disdain revealed from time to time in the eyes of those lower-level palace maids and guards makes me feel very unhappy. But it's a relief to think about. Our group of girls from the border pass walked in the palace, and in the eyes of these people, they were originally a group of earth leopards who did not understand the rules. Besides, why bother to be like these people.

The next day, the day before the race, the princes and envoys who lived in the Dune Pavilion came to the palace to meet the queen. Teacher Shi Ji was not there, so we all ran to the palace gate to watch the excitement.

Seeing a group of girls like us gathered here, an enthusiastic young steward took the initiative to introduce us to them one by one. Where does this come from Yanzhou, and where does that one come from Qingzhou. I've never heard of many names. In the end, I only remember that one of them was from Bogu and the other was from Laiyi.

One girl asked, "Isn't Lai always at war with us?" ”

"It's been a long time since I stopped fighting! This time, I sent a few girls to participate in the competition! ”

And that Bo Gu also sent a team to participate in the exhibition match this time.

Soon after, Gu Zhujun's fleet also arrived from Xingyi on the mainland Jersey Coast. The original damaged area of the building ship has been repaired, and even a lot of equipment has been added.

A large group of people walked down from the building boat one after another. We followed the palace steward and continued to listen to him introduce the characters one by one. Except for Gu Zhujun, Princess Mo Fetaling, Su Hou and the Quan Zhong brothers, the rest are basically representatives of the vassal states from Jizhou. Wear a variety of clothes. Coupled with the princes and envoys from Dongyi in front of them, it seems that they have watched a strange national costume show.

After a while, the princes and envoys from all over the country left the palace one after another and returned to the pavilion. Only Guzhujun's father and daughter and Su Hou's family stayed in the palace.

In the afternoon, another boat docked at the Dune Pier under the escort of the warship. This time a lot of girls came down from above. It is said that they are all members of the team who participate in the exhibition match. They did not enter the palace, but went directly to the pavilion.

I asked the steward, "Does every official ship coming from Xingyi need to be escorted by a military ship?" ”

"Yes, miss." The steward replied, "Between the palace of the great king and the old capital on the mainland, there are princes and generals. And the water surface here is thousands of miles around, and there are countless large and small islands. Among them were bandits who hid and robbed passing ships. ”

"Therefore, when the Marquis of Xing was in Japan, he had twelve warships to protect the passing official ships. Later, Marquis Su took the position of Marquis Xing, and increased the number of warships to 20. Not only official ships, but also large merchant ships were also sent to protect them. ”

I looked at the calm waters, and I couldn't imagine that there was such a danger hidden in them.

As I walked back, I caught up with the steward and asked the question that had been hidden in my heart: "Is there a pool for wine in the Dune Palace?" ”

He was stunned for a moment, then replied with a smile: "I haven't heard of this." Then he left.

Could it be that the statement of "wine pond meat forest" is really a rumor?

On match day, the gates of the Inner Palace finally opened. We put our uniforms under our skirts and entered a square in the palace with the teams and VIPs, surrounded by stands and cloisters.

Daji sat on top of the chief. He was draped in a white feather coat, which must have been given by Guzhujun. Inside is still a plain white dress. However, the style is different from the day before yesterday, except for the face and hands, not an inch of skin is exposed.

The second seat sat Gu Zhujun, and next to him was Princess Mo Fetus. On the other side are Su Hou and the son of Xinsheng. In addition, there were three princes and kings and fifteen envoys. The next one is the referee's seat, five women and three men, all of whom are said to be from the court.

Mr. Ishiji did not sit in the VIP seat, but sat under the cloister with us.

A total of seven teams participated in the group exhibition competition. Shi Ji said to me and Xiaoqian, "Do you see the girl in red on the other side?" She is Dou Wan, the granddaughter of General Dou Rong of the Wandering Soul Guan, and she is just fourteen years old this year. She might be your opponent in the match! ”

As we spoke, we saw a young woman beside Dou Wan smiling at Shi Ji. Shi Ji also returned the salute.

"Teacher, who is that?" Xiaoqian asked, "Is it Dou Wan's teacher?" ”

"Yes, she is from the Biyou Outer Courtyard of Jinao Island in the East China Sea, and her name is Zhu Peier. He can also be regarded as the same teacher. ”

"Oh, the rest of ......"

Shi Ji interrupted us, "You don't have to worry about the others. None of your other main opponents will be in today's game. ”

In the next game, the five-person group of the Wandering Spirit Pass was the first to appear. All five girls were wearing tights, Dou Wan was red, and the other girls were black. Dou Wan controls Sanzhu alone. A set of moves down. In addition to the fact that the number of people and the number of magic weapons are not as good as ours, I feel that the overall cooperation is not inferior to ours.

Shi Ji said to us, "Take off your skirts!" Next up is us. ”

The second to appear is a foursome from the ancient kingdom of Tangyi. The girls wore blue dresses and controlled two white silk threads. Although it feels quite ethereal at first, Nagaya is far less easy to manipulate than the colored beads, and there are still some mistakes in the middle.

Next up is our appearance. Our colorful and beautiful gymnastics uniforms alone caused a small commotion at the banquet. Although there was no serious training for two days, the cooperation between the seven of us was quite tacit. The seven-colored beads controlled by Xiao Qian and I shuttled and flew between the seven of us, and it was even more seamless.

We went back to our seats and got our skirts on, and the next group was already on the field.

"Wow, there are so many people!" This group of girls came from the country of Li, that is, the place where Xibo was swept away during the Northern Li Revolution. They were also wearing tights. I counted ten people.

Their magic weapon is five circles of different colors. I can't help but think of the five rings.

"Teacher," one girl asked, "are we the only ones in gymnastics suits that show our legs?" ”

"How so?" Shi Ji replied, "If everyone doesn't wear it, I won't force you to wear it." ”

The fifth to appear was a five-member group from Bogu City. Their appearance was a sight to behold. They all wore long-sleeved, high-leg gymnastics uniforms that changed from pink to dark green. The magic weapon is a bead, a silk, and a circle. Although the total number of magic weapons is less than ours, the performance is no less wonderful than ours.

"Isn't there a coach in Bogu City?" Xiao Qian noticed that after the Bo Gucheng team came on the field, the seats were empty.

Shi Ji replied: "Look at the Laiyi team next to you, they are the same coach as the Bogucheng team. ”

The girls in Laiyi over there were already changing their clothes, and they were dark blue gymnastics suits with gold trim. Behind the girls, a woman in a green coat sat on a mat with a hairstyle she had seen somewhere.

Next up is Ley. Three of the six girls hold colored circles and three hold colored beads. Three balls and three laps? I can't help but think of this project in my memories of my past life. The key is that each of the six people has a magic weapon, and the team cooperation has exceeded our level.

There are already girls among us who are starting to worry. Mr. Ishiji didn't care. "Just do your best, why care about rankings? See their coaches? Shi Ji said, "She is not a Dongyi woman, but from Fuso." In terms of flexible project teaching, I am afraid it is more authentic than being a teacher. ”

The last team came from Kei-eup, near Tang-eup. It is said to be the fief of Prince Minoko. is also a four-person group, and the costumes are similar to Tangyi. The magic weapon is the three beads.

I noticed that the three teams wearing long-sleeved high-leg gymnastics suits included us, Bo Gu and Laiyi, all from Bohai Bay. It's not that we are more open than them in the mainland, but we are by the sea, so it is easier to buy clothes from the East China Sea Dragon Clan trading house.

The group exhibition matches are all over. The referee is counting the final scores. Although Mr. Ishiji told us not to care, we still felt very nervous.

But I seem to understand Ishiji's confidence. The order in which we appear has been carefully arranged. So that we can get a head start on scoring. Although we are confident that we have the quality to win the championship, we cannot say that there is no shady.

After the referee's discussion, the result was reported to Daji. Daji held the jade slip in his hand and announced on the spot: Wandering Soul Pass and Bogu City are tied for third, Laiyi is second, and we are the first.

Our side was elated. The expression on the other side of the Wandering Soul Pass was flat. The girls in Laiyi and Bogu were visibly depressed. However, the woman from Fuso was very personable, and took the initiative to come from the banquet to congratulate Ishiji, and said a lot of words that we didn't understand very well.

At the end of the show, Ishiji left me behind, and when the people were almost gone, he brought me to Daji who was standing at the door.

"Nezha," Daji asked softly, "I heard that you have the ability to foresee?" ”

I was startled and hurriedly denied, "How? ”

"Then how did you know that there was a plan to build a wine pool in the Dune Palace?"

Yes? Construction hasn't started yet.

So I began to say, "Queen, that's right." I forgot who I heard that there was a wine pond and meat forest in the palace of the Great King. I thought it was here. ”

Daji smiled, "Your news is not bad. There is indeed a small wine pond in the Lutai Palace. As for the meat forest, it is because there is a lot of prey stored in the palace, so it needs to be hung on the tree to make dried meat first. The palace people jokingly called it the meat forest. ”

"However, the construction of a wine pond and meat forest in the Dune Palace is a secret in the palace. Don't tell the public about it until it's built! ”

"The courtiers know."

"Nezha, do you like to drink?" Daji asked again.

"After returning to the queen, the courtiers are not allowed to drink alcohol as disciples of the Sanqing Academy."

"Hehe," Daji laughed, "then the vegetarian wine should always be fine!" After you finish the match, this palace invites you to drink wine in Lutai Palace. ”
