Chapter 404: Cat Shooting
The other two matches of the second round were also quickly decided.
And the three little ones warmed up for a long time in front of everyone's eyes on the field, and finally became familiar with the tension of this game.
"Whew, it looks like it's about to be our turn."
Princess Ankang saw that the other two sides of the court were clearing, ready for a new round of competition.
"Your Highness, we have Ah Xuan here, as long as we work hard, we will definitely win!"
Yu'er encouraged.
Princess Ankang also nodded with a smile.
These two girls both put the victory and defeat on themselves, Li Xuan shook his head helplessly, and pretended to sigh:
"It wasn't my intention to abuse vegetables, but the reality forced me too much."
It's just that Li Xuan also knows the truth that the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.
Especially since he heard many people muttering below in the audience before, how to deal with the Eighth Prince.
The Eighth Prince had previously won a high-profile game with the help of Ah Xiang.
But this also pushed him to the cusp.
As long as you want to win the final victory, you must overcome this hurdle.
Especially the third prince, who didn't deal with the eighth prince, had already begun to use his crooked brains, but Li Xuan unexpectedly heard a few words.
Even in the noisy court, Li Xuan, with his outstanding hearing, can clearly capture almost everyone's conversations, and screen them one by one to get important information in the conversation.
"It looks like we'll have to win later, and we'll have to keep a low profile."
Li Xuan rolled his eyes and showed a malicious smile.
It won't be difficult for him to win this Keju match.
Even with Ah Xiang's help, Li Xuan has the confidence that he can easily deal with it.
If you want to win in a low-key way, you have to pay attention to some details.
Just when Li Xuan was thinking about what to do, the contestants in the third round had already begun to play one after another.
The six princesses took two eunuchs who were not weak in breath, and they came on the scene arrogantly and stood opposite the three small ones.
"This big girl is so arrogant."
The corners of Li Xuan's eyes twitched, and he couldn't stand the arrogant attitude of the six princesses.
The Six Imperial Maidens had never been bargained for in their hands, and they didn't know what she was arrogant about.
Li Xuan involuntarily turned his gaze to the heavy chest of the six princesses.
"Is it true that there is no brain?"
"It seems that there is a limit to what can be provided for after all."
"Can you only take care of one side?"
Just when Li Xuan was seriously thinking about the mystery of the human body, the game had already begun.
Princess Ankang and the Six Imperial Maidens walked to the center of the venue and made a simple side selection under the referee of the eunuch in flowery clothes.
The first team that did not pick a side could choose to tee off first.
Princess Ankang successfully chose a side, directly choosing the half of the field where they were warming up earlier.
After all, I've been familiar with it for a while, and I have to get used to it when I switch to the other side.
Although the two teams will switch sides once in the second half, Princess Ankang still feels that the game needs to start well.
And the six princesses, who failed to choose sides, snorted coldly.
In her opinion, no matter which side Princess Ankang chooses, it can't change the outcome of the game.
At this point, Li Xuan also agrees with the views of the six princesses.
But the six princesses are just unhappy, Princess Ankang can still win a small amount of her even in such a simple side selection.
Seeing that after she failed to win Princess Ankang in the autumn hunting competition last time, she already had an obsession in her heart that she must win Princess Ankang once.
The three little ones naturally couldn't understand the thoughts of the six princesses, but they just felt that this woman was inexplicable.
"Hmph, let me tee off, you made the most wrong decision!"
The six princesses stood still holding the ball, intending to wait for the referee to blow the whistle, so they kicked the ball into the goal, making the two people on the opposite side regret it.
Off the field, the eldest prince and the fourth prince looked at the arena and looked very calm.
"Fourth brother, it shouldn't be a problem for the sixth sister to win Ankang, right?"
"After all, it is a real competition strength, and Ankang no longer has room for tricks."
"I haven't heard of Ankang playing Keju before, and I'm afraid I've been practicing two feet temporarily in the past few days."
The eldest prince has already seen a thing or two from Princess Ankang's warm-up action before.
Although the movements are standard, the feeling of unfamiliarity still can't be concealed.
After all, there is such a thing as ball skills that takes time to accumulate.
"I hope so."
For the words of the eldest prince, the fourth prince just responded like this.
"Oh, fourth brother, do you think there will be any accidents?"
The eldest prince frowned, he knew that his brother's instincts had always been accurate.
"Ankang has won so far, which time is not surprising?"
The fourth prince shook his head, and the eldest prince was speechless when he said this.
Before the start of the competition in the Imperial Garden, who would have expected that this princess who lived in the cold palace and had the lowest sense of presence would perform so dazzlingly.
"And I'm getting more and more incomprehensible."
"I don't even know when she started to become so inscrutable."
The four princes stared at Princess Ankang on the field and said sincerely.
He claimed to know everything about the situation in the palace, but he only missed Princess Ankang.
Regarding the changes of Princess Ankang during this period of time, the four princes can be said to be the most deeply touched.
He couldn't tell when Princess Ankang began to hibernate now, and which of her previous performances in front of him were true and which were false.
It's really Princess Ankang who has changed too much during this time.
The four princes racked their brains and couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation.
And the explanation that made him feel reasonable made him feel too frightened.
There are such means in the palace, and they are willing to support Princess Ankang, the four princes can only think of their father.
But if everything is arranged by Emperor Yongyuan......
Even the four princes didn't dare to think about this conjecture.
At this time, a whistle sounded on the field, interrupting the thoughts of the four princes.
On the field, the six princesses holding the ball did not pass much, and when they were about to swing a slender and tight jade leg backwards, they were directly placed on their heads, and a perfect standing horse came.
Immediately after that, the six princesses let go of the ball in their hands, and at the same time, the jade legs swung forward and swept towards the ball.
Although her Keju strength is average, she has the foundation of an eight-rank martial artist, and she is very skilled in controlling her body.
With a simple action, with the help of his own weight, he exerted his maximum strength and slammed his foot on the ball.
The figure of the six princesses jumped forward slightly due to the violent movements, and the ball in the twisted shape of the kick shot towards the goal as fast as thunder.
It is also a loss that the ball used in the game is strong, otherwise if it was replaced by an ordinary ball, it would have been kicked by the Six Princesses a long time ago.
"Meow, come up so ruthless?"
Li Xuan yawned and calmly looked at the ball.
He didn't want to be like the Eighth Prince, kicking people to zero eggs and collapsing to the point of abandoning the game at halftime.
Li Xuan thought about controlling the points, so that everyone else could concentrate their firepower on the head of the Eighth Prince, so that they could advance in a low-key manner and save some effort.
"Forget it, since you're so serious."
"This point, I conced."
Li Xuan looked lazy, and there was no fighting spirit in his eyes, so he almost lay on the field, scratching his bell as an audience.
But just as Li Xuan was waiting for the Sixth Imperial Daughter to score the first point, a figure suddenly flew up in the air, showing exactly the same trick as the previous Eighth Emperor.
Barb Interception!
With a loud bang, the ball made contact with the figure, and suddenly changed direction and flew into the air.
"Yikes!"
At the same time, a scream sounded, and Princess Ankang, who blocked the ball, was kicked by the ball and spun her body at great speed, and she lost control of her body.
When she touched the ball before, she barely hooked it with her toes, but the force on the ball actually brought her body up and down, which showed how great the force was.
"Your Highness, I'll pick you up!"
As she spoke, Yu'er took out the ribbon from her sleeve, wanting to catch Princess Ankang's body.
Although the two teams cannot have physical contact with each other, they can be with each other.
Otherwise, the previous Eighth Prince would not have been able to step on his close eunuch Xiao Zi to borrow strength.
"Leave me alone!"
"Catch the ball first!"
Princess Ankang's body swirled, and she was still only caring about the ball.
She had finally learned the moves of the Eighth Emperor Prince, and received the full blow of the Sixth Imperial Princess, so naturally she didn't want to fall short.
After intercepting the ball, if the player of the same team does not pass it and let the ball land, the ball must be returned to the opponent.
Yu'er was naturally more worried about Princess Ankang's safety, but with Princess Ankang's order, she was not easy to disobey.
Just when Yu'er was in a dilemma, Princess Ankang suddenly exerted force in the direction of her body's rotation, rolled up and shrunk herself into a ball.
Princess Ankang's body spun faster and faster, but she slowly took back control of her body.
Seeing this scene, Yu'er no longer hesitated, and immediately gave up her plan to catch Princess Ankang, sprinted to the landing point of the ball, and made a sliding tackle.
At the moment before the ball hit the ground, Yu'er narrowly let the ball take off again.
At the same time, Princess Ankang tossed in the air for an unknown number of degrees, and finally landed steadily, without even a trace of stumbling.
She is like a gymnast, with her arms straight forward, controlling her balance, and her knees slightly bent to defuse the impact of landing.
"Full marks!"
Li Xuan slapped the ground with his tail excitedly, if he didn't have a scoreboard in his hand, he would have given Princess Ankang ten points.
Princess Ankang and Yu'er both gave full marks in the first confrontation.
Then the two girls looked at the ball that was floating again, and shouted in tacit understanding:
"Ah Xuan, it's your turn!"
Li Xuanyan stood up, infected by their blood, and suddenly had high morale.
"I was going to install it, but it doesn't seem to work."
Li Xuan smiled helplessly, but his smile was full of doting.
"In that case, then you're welcome!"
Li Xuan's two hind legs supporting the ground suddenly lifted one.
The strong and powerful hind legs pointed high into the sky, which was exactly the same as the movements of the previous six princesses.
"What!?"
"They actually let a cat shoot?"
The six princesses felt humiliated and furious.
But her shot was stopped by Princess Ankang before, which was enough to make her angry.
Now seeing Li Xuan imitating her own movements and raising her foot to shoot at the goal makes her feel more ridiculous.
"It must have been taught by Ankang to deliberately let this cat humiliate me."
The Sixth Imperial Maiden didn't take Li Xuan's shot to heart, in her opinion, it was amazing enough for a cat to imitate her movements.
As for how powerful the shot could be, she didn't think about it at all.
Seeing that the master was angry, the two eunuchs behind the six princesses silently stepped forward a few steps, intending to help the six princesses organize the next attack after getting the ball.
They were the same, and they didn't feel any threat to the kitten who had just stood up and just passed their knees.
Most of the people present had this idea, and no one had any expectations for Li Xuan's attack, but they were just magically watching that this little black cat was able to imitate the movements of the Six Imperial Maidens, which was novel enough for them.
But the eight princes in the audience looked at it extremely seriously, and they didn't dare to blink their eyes.
In the previous contacts, he was faintly aware of Li Xuan's specialness, but he has not been able to confirm it in person.
If the Eighth Prince didn't have Ah Xiang's reaction as a reference, I am afraid it would be difficult to detect.
But after several times, after finding that Ah Xiang was extremely uncomfortable in front of Li Xuan, he began to pay attention to the little black cat raised by Princess Ankang.
And now, it seems, he has an answer.
In the corner of the Imperial Garden, Mr. Shang and Zhao Feng were watching the game here.
Seeing Li Xuan raise his feet so seriously, Mr. Shang couldn't help but elbow his own righteous son.
"Go, don't let Ah Xuan make trouble."
Although Zhao Feng walked out, he muttered in his mouth: "Not really, right?" ”
But for his godfather's words, he is used to obeying his words, although he says so on his lips, he is not slow at all at his feet.
Mr. Shang shook his head silently, but he didn't explain too much.
Just when everyone reacted, the ball had slowly fallen in front of Li Xuan.
Li Xuan watched the ball fall from his eyes, and his raised hind legs also learned to sweep forward fiercely from the six princesses.
At this moment, the six princesses and her two close attendants and eunuchs who were facing this ball suddenly stiffened, and felt that their heartbeats were leaking.
By the time their hearts were backbeating, the ball was gone.
Li Xuan's hind legs also stretched straight forward, and the cat's paws pointed directly at the merry eyes on the opposite side.
The Sixth Empress seemed to see a strange smile on the cat's face, and when she was in shock, she found that a few strands of her hair were falling to the ground, and the roots were neatly broken.
"It's ......"
"My hair?"
The six princesses looked at the hair on the ground, subconsciously touched their sideburns, and noticed that the hair that was originally tightly tied up was a little messy for some reason.
Bang!
There was a muffled sound.
The eyes of the crowd were drawn to it.
After the merry eyes of the six princesses, Zhao Feng's figure fell from the air, clutching the remains of the ball in his hand.
If he hadn't stopped the ball just now, he might have shot somewhere in the palace.
"The score is valid and the game continues."
Zhao Feng said coldly, glaring at Li Xuan secretly.
In an instant, there was an uproar on the court.
"What the fuck is a little kitten!?"
In the stands, Li Xiong was the first to shout, and on the spot, he was grabbed by the mother concubine next to him and made him close his mouth again.
Li Xiong's mother held her forehead with one hand, buried her head deeply in her lap, and her free hand firmly grabbed the mouth of her bear child, pulling him like a mouth that had just fallen ashore.
The bear child seems to have been used to it for a long time, and he obediently shut up and did not resist.
It's just that the eyes are staring at the little kitten on the field, full of curiosity.
And the eldest prince and the fourth prince looked at each other silently and murmured:
"Exotic beasts!?"
