The ball and side selection for the semi-finals were already decided when the four teams advanced.

According to the order of promotion, Princess Ankang won the ball, and the third prince won the right to choose sides.

Therefore, as soon as the game began, Princess Ankang's side launched an attack.

On such a rare stage, Li Xuan chose to give up the first opportunity to perform to Princess Ankang.

After all, this is also Princess Ankang's debut in front of these Daxing nobles, and it is still necessary to leave a deep impression.

Li Xuan took the ball from Zhao Feng first, and then passed it to Yu'er, and then Yu'er passed it to Princess Ankang, who launched the first attack of the game.

Princess Ankang's expression was extremely serious, and with all her strength, she shot the ball straight at the opposite Merry Eye.

This kick caused a commotion in the stands, and no one thought that the nameless Princess Ankang would have such strength.

Of course, there are also a small number of people who are just enjoying the Keju competition, and when they see such a wonderful goal, they immediately applaud and attract some applause.

But compared to the applause, there was more discussion.

"Oh my God, did you see that? That kitten can kick the ju! ”

"That's right, no wonder when Manager Zhao read out the rules before, he said that he could also let the beast tamer participate in the competition, it seems that this cat is the beast tamer."

"But can a domestic cat be trained to this extent? I asked my cat not to poop and pee on my bed, but I can't do it. ”

"It's true that it's just a matter of taming other animals, and it's still very difficult for animals like cats."

"Maybe Princess Ankang has talents around her who are good at taming beasts."

"But to tame a cat is really incomprehensible."

In the eyes of ordinary people, training a cat is more than worth the loss, and the result is half the effort.

Because cats are less obedient and generally have a strong personality, it is difficult to just make cats obedient.

And some people who know about Princess Ankang's situation are even more amazed.

"Didn't you say that the thirteenth princess has been frail and sickly since she was a child, and she has been in a wheelchair all the year round and can't move freely?"

"This, this kick is a lot stronger than the average person right now, right?"

"That's right, that's what I've heard, and I used to say that Princess Ankang was too weak to live to adulthood, but now it seems that this is complete nonsense."

"That kick just now, you can't kick it out without a little cultivation, right?"

"You don't know that, do you?"

"It was true that the Thirteen Princesses were weak in the past, but recently Imperial Doctor Xue found a way to cure it, which makes the Thirteen Princesses so healthy now."

"Ahh Is it the Imperial Physician Xue in the palace? ”

"If it's his old man, it all makes sense."

"Imperial Doctor Xue really deserves the name of a miracle doctor, and he can catch any incurable disease."

“……”

In the stands, many people's topics gradually shifted to Imperial Doctor Xue, and some people even boasted that Imperial Doctor Xue had seen a doctor for himself, which was called a medicine to cure the disease.

But there are also some people who have not turned to Imperial Doctor Xue, because they have little communication with Imperial Doctor Xue, and they can't say anything worth showing off, so they continue to analyze the game carefully.

"I admit that Princess Ankang's strength is very great, and it is even far beyond ordinary people, but His Royal Highness the Third Prince is not something that can be defeated with great strength."

"His Royal Highness the Third Prince, that is a veritable powerhouse who has stepped into the middle and third grades!"

Sure enough, as soon as this person's words fell, Princess Ankang's shot was easily stopped by the third prince, attracting enthusiastic cheers from the stands.

"Good!"

"It is worthy of His Royal Highness the Third Prince!"

"I see the new Daxing God of War rising, and it's really promising."

"This meeting reminds me of the invincible heroism of His Royal Highness the Third Prince in the battlefield, in the encounter in Dazhuzi Village, His Royal Highness the Third Prince led the crowd to defeat the enemy, personally slashed the other party, and greatly boosted the morale of our army!"

"I didn't get to see it with my own eyes, but I remember it vividly."

“……”

It was just a simple defense, which attracted all kinds of exaggerated praise from the stands.

Li Xuan's ears were sharp, and he heard all the nonsense clearly.

"You guys are too much, we're just kicking a bow!"

"What's going on here?"

Li Xuan gasped on the Keju field, and was amazed by Daxing's slapping of horses and whiskers.

But at this time, there are also people in the know who questioned the words of the previous person.

"Didn't you say you just hacked a horse to death?"

Seeing that someone was not interested, someone immediately said angrily:

"Isn't the enemy's horse the enemy?"

There was a small argument in the stands.

"Then you have to call it an enemy horse......

Arguments that have nothing to do with the competition are left aside.

But there are also discerning people who can see that Princess Ankang is not cultivating, at least there is no sign of using the power of qi and blood at the kick just now.

"Didn't you cultivate?"

"But this power is really not small......

"But in the face of the gap in cultivation, I'm afraid it's still difficult to win."

It can be seen that more people did not speak like others, but just analyzed it silently in their hearts.

In the Tai Chi Palace, it is even quieter.

Below Emperor Yongyuan and Empress Wu, there were a number of court bigwigs, all of whom watched the game silently, which became a stark contrast to the excitement in the stands.

It's not that the atmosphere of Tai Chi Palace is solemn, and they are still talking about Keju in a relaxed atmosphere before the game starts.

As soon as the ball kicked off and Princess Ankang shot, these court bigwigs watched the game more seriously than anyone else.

If you look closely, you can also see that they occasionally secretly exchange glances with each other.

In short, the atmosphere of the Taiji Palace has unconsciously dulled, but no one has come forward to mediate the atmosphere.

The third prince stopped Princess Ankang's attack, and after hearing the audience's support for him, he couldn't help but smile slightly, and said secretly in his heart:

"Ankang is not a concern, and so is the palace maid beside him."

"Only the cat is a little hard to say......"

The third prince stopped the ball and passed it.

He was the first to touch the ball, and the next attack could only be handed over to his two close eunuchs.

At the same time as the ball was passed, the third prince gave them a look.

The two close eunuchs immediately understood.

After two passes, the ball was passed to the front, and then the close eunuch launched a shot that did not lose to Princess Ankang.

It's just that the trajectory of this shot is really unremarkable, and it shoots at the goal of Princess Ankang from an almost non-threatening angle.

Li Xuan glanced at it and immediately made a judgment:

"If you don't play tricks, Ankang can barely cope."

"Hmph, deliberately kicked over there, right?"

He couldn't help but sneer, and immediately understood the other party's intentions.

Although the third prince didn't kick the ball directly at the person, it seemed that he was running towards the goal, but the shooting trajectory was too easy to intercept, and the easiest to defend was Princess Ankang, who was closest to him.

This ball almost rubbed Princess Ankang's body past.

The intention of the third prince is obvious, that is, to let Princess Ankang take the initiative to defend this ball.

On the surface, Princess Ankang's strength is the weakest on this side, and she is also one of the most important protagonists of this game.

If Princess Ankang can't continue to compete, the third prince can win the competition justifiably.

At that time, the three princes don't have to suppress cultivation too much, and they can also let Princess Ankang retire from the competition due to physical exhaustion or injury, and it is elegant to win.

Because these balls were not kicked directly at Princess Ankang, but Princess Ankang took the initiative to choose to defend.

"You don't just want to win, you want to win beautifully, don't you?"

"You're underestimating Ankang too much."

Li Xuan instantly saw the other party's intentions, but he didn't move, just turned his head to look at Princess Ankang and cast a trusting gaze.

These people present, whether they know Princess Ankang or don't know Princess Ankang, they all want to get to know the girl in front of them again.

Yu'er also turned her head and looked at Princess Ankang.

But unlike Li Xuan's determined and trusting gaze, Yu'er's eyes had more worry and nervousness.

Although she also knew in her heart that Li Xuan would not let Princess Ankang be in danger, Yu'er's heart was inevitably worried about Princess Ankang.

At this time, An Kanggong took the initiative.

Quiet as a virgin, moving as a rabbit.

Princess Ankang's movement and stillness were switched in the blink of an eye.

Before many people in the stands could see it clearly, Princess Ankang turned around and ran towards her goal.

Then, she turned back to check the trajectory of the ball, and with a light leap, her body was like a light feather freed from the constraints of the earth, and soon rose to a higher position than the ball she had shot.

Princess Ankang opened her arms, as if lying in the quilt, lying comfortably in the air, and gradually turned upside down.

In the Tai Chi Palace, several bigwigs couldn't help but stretch their necks forward, and their brows furrowed.

I don't know if they can't see clearly now, or if they feel dazzled.

Princess Ankang didn't give them much time to react, and the girl's soft figure was like a big bow slowly opening up to the full moon, and the next moment suddenly tensed.

At this moment, the flying ball was naturally delivered to Princess Ankang's feet.

"Bang!"

The ball flew back at a faster speed.

The two close attendants of the third prince were so frightened that they hurried to stop it, but they didn't stop it, forcing the third prince to take action in person, and he was able to stop the ball in front of the goal.

There was silence for a moment, and the audience was in an uproar.

"This, this ......"

"The thirteenth princess is also a master!?"

Originally, everyone was still one-sidedly optimistic about the third prince who cultivated to a higher level, but no one expected that Princess Ankang would be able to make such a powerful counterattack.

Especially the upside-down golden hook that Princess Ankang used in the air before, it was simply beautiful to the extreme, and everyone present who knew Keju clapped their hands and marveled.

At this time, Princess Ankang took half a circle in the air, and her body landed lightly.

"Elegant, so elegant!"

The Eighth Prince shook his head and clapped his hands with emotion.

The other princes also had different expressions.

Except for the five princes and others who were really happy for Princess Ankang, most of the other people's mood was similar to eating flies, except that some people ate smaller flies in their mouths, and some people were bigger.

"Is this called having never practiced martial arts?"

"I used to be half-dead in a wheelchair before, but I showed it to us, right?"

The six princesses were so angry that they slammed the table and scolded.

The eldest prince and the fourth prince reached out and held down the hand of the sixth princess beating the table for the first time, asking her to pay attention to the image.

"Forget it, Sixth Sister."

"Ankang is a good chess player, and I can't complain about her."

The four princes persuaded him.

The Sixth Imperial Maiden was so angry that she gasped, but she was still persuaded by her two elder brothers to calm down.

Other people's moods are probably similar to those of the Six Imperial Maidens.

The atmosphere outside is warm, and the inside of Tai Chi Palace also breaks the dull atmosphere.

Just a few pops, followed by the sound of dishes clattering.

A few noble bigwigs suddenly stood up from their seats uncontrollably and looked at Keju in disbelief.

And one of them reacted the fastest, and immediately turned around and asked Emperor Yongyuan:

"Your Majesty, it seems that Her Royal Highness the Thirteenth Princess has not practiced martial arts yet?"

These are all characters who have entered the Taiji Palace by virtue of their military exploits, either they are killed in the sea of corpses and blood on the battlefield, or they are from the family background, and their own cultivation is also quite good, and they can see at a glance that Princess Ankang does not have the power of qi and blood.

Emperor Yongyuan's face was indifferent, and he replied:

"Ankang has been frail and sickly since he was a child, and he has only recently recovered some health under the conditioning of Imperial Doctor Xue, so naturally he has never practiced martial arts."

The corners of the eyes of the few noble lords who stood up twitched when they heard this, and the others sitting also silently turned their heads to look at Emperor Yongyuan.

"Frail and sickly?"

The big guys felt speechless like never before.

If Princess Ankang, who had made such a perfect volley upside down golden hook before, was considered frail and sickly, I am afraid that there are few healthy people in the world today.

But among the people present, they were all court bosses.

They also know about Princess Ankang's situation.

They naturally connected the situation in front of them with what they had heard before, and got a similar answer, and unconsciously looked at Empress Wu who was sitting beside Emperor Yongyuan.

"Princess Ankang is very talented, and in order to protect herself, she has been dormant and endured for many years."

"But at this time, he showed his talent in public without scruples, maybe a certain time has come."

"The Keju competition of the Chongyang banquet is Your Majesty's intention again......"

Sitting in the Taiji Palace, all of them were the human spirits among the human spirits, and they immediately thought of the key, and their faces were different.

And the noble bigwigs who stood up were even more overjoyed.

They glanced at Empress Wu, Qi Qi snorted coldly in his heart, and the one who asked Emperor Yongyuan first continued:

"I see."

The man nodded, and continued:

"But Your Majesty, since Her Royal Highness the Thirteenth Princess has just recovered her health, the old minister also wants to do his part."

"As we all know, you can't just take medicine to recuperate, but you also need corresponding exercise to recover better."

"Your Majesty, the old minister has a lot of experience in this, why don't I teach Her Royal Highness the Thirteenth Princess a health exercise to help her recover as soon as possible, wouldn't it be beautiful?"

It's a pity that before these words could get a reply from Emperor Yongyuan, they were dismantled on the spot.

"Lao Qin, you said that you have experience in killing and creating karma, so I will admit it."

"When did you learn to take care of yourself?"

"If you put this bully on the ground, do you want to be faced?"

The noble boss known as Lao Qin suddenly turned red, and looked angrily at the people who demolished the stage on the side.
