The teams led by Chen Chen and Pan Wen had already completed their first warm-up match. In the end, the two teams tied 2-2. Although there was no clear winner, both teams performed perfectly.
, the leaders of other teams and even the emperor Zhao Zhen who were watching the game were also very excited.
After the game, Chen Chen and Pan Wen had completely different ideas about the next arrangements. Pan Wen advocated relaxing and told his team members that he would treat them later and let them go to Fan Lou for a big meal and then go back.
Have a good sleep and don't think about anything today. After all, the game is over. Let's talk about the rest after today.
On Chen Chen's side, although the game is over, it can be seen that Chen Chen is still under a lot of psychological pressure. His plan is to find all the team members to hold a meeting to discuss the problems that have arisen in this warm-up match and what will happen next.
He wanted to put forward his own opinions on the Huangtian team in the official match. Chen Chen naturally did this because he did not want the grassroots team to become a first-round team. Although he led the grassroots team today to give people a bright feeling in this warm-up match,
But he also knew that the more tactics he used in this game, the easier it would be for others to see through him, and he would make corresponding adjustments to his team, especially the opponent Huangtian Team in the first round.
That was the royal team, and more than half of the people were members of the previous royal Cuju team. Chen Chen, who was at the same time as them, was very clear about the strength of the two team twins, Wang Da and Wang Yi. According to the current situation
The strength of the grassroots team may not necessarily defeat the Huangtian team when the time comes.
However, Chen Chen's idea of leaving the team members to study tactics in the inn was rejected by Pan Wen, Lu Yao, and Zhe Kexing. All three of them thought that the game was over, even if
We need to study tactics to fight against the Huangtian team. There is still some time before the official game. We should not rush to this night. Among the three people, Lu Yao's words are the most convincing. Since he has said so, Chen Chen is not good either.
Without further ado, he agreed to Pan Wen's suggestion that his team members also go to Fan Lou for dinner.
Then, Chen Chen walked to his team members and announced that this should be great news for them. When the members of the grassroots team heard Chen Chen's next arrangement, they were all very surprised. How can I say it?
These people can be regarded as people who have been with Chen Chen day and night for more than ten days, and they have some understanding of the captain. If the grassroots team wins today's warm-up match, maybe I can rest tonight. Now it is a tie.
And it was only at the last moment of the game that Chen Chen's long shot equalized the game. The players all thought that Chen Chen was somewhat dissatisfied with their performance in this game. At this time, Chen Chen
When I found them, I guess they were talking about returning to the inn later to study tactics.
Unexpectedly, what Chen Chen brought was the news that they should go to Fanlou to have a dinner with the members of the Fanlou team. He also said that they would be given a holiday today and would talk about the game tomorrow.
This made the team members extremely happy. Lu Yang looked at Chen Chen and knew that this was probably Lu Yao's idea, and he was very grateful to Lu Yao.
Back to Lu Yao, the team members went to Fan Lou for a dinner, what about the four of them? Pan Wen suggested that he follow the team members to Fan Lou in a while, and then arrange a separate place for the four of them.
In the private room, now that the warm-up match is over, Chen Chen and Pan Wen can finally relax before the official match. There is no pressure anymore. It seems that Pan Wen wants to have a good drink today.
But Lu Yao proposed that the party should be held in his own restaurant.
When Pan Wen heard this, he said: "Do you think it will be very crowded if the members of both teams pass by at once? Don't worry, the private rooms in Fan Tower are very powerful. No sound will be transmitted outside when you sit inside."
come over."
Lu Yao smiled and said, "I know what you said is true, but I still want to go to Jiuzhongxian and we can get together."
"Why is this?" Zhe Kexing on the side was also a little confused. Lu Yao took a look and knew that Zhe Kexing must have been eating in the palace every day for more than ten days, and the food must not be to Zhe Kexing's appetite, so
When Pan Wen said he was going to Fan Lou for dinner, Lu Yao clearly saw Zhe Kexing's eyes light up, so it was not difficult to understand why he would ask this question now.
So Lu Yao said patiently: "I'm not belittling your Fan Lou's dishes. Tell me, is it my food that tastes better, or your Fan Lou's food that tastes better?"
Pan Wen said without thinking: "Needless to say, my father spent a lot of money to buy all the recipes in Fanlou from you. Of course you make them delicious..."
Halfway through the words, Pan Wen also reacted and said: "So, what you mean is, go to Jiuzhongxian and then cook it yourself?"
Lu Yao didn't answer, just smiled and nodded.
Pan Wen and Zhe Kexing both looked at each other. They had almost forgotten the last time they ate food cooked by Lu Yao. After all, in the past nearly half a month, Lu Yao started to
During the retreat, even when Pan Wen and Chen Chen met Lu Yao, they only ordered the chefs from Fanlou to prepare the dishes. Later, after three days of imperial examination, Lu Yao could not even cook.
However, even if they haven't cooked for half a month, Zhe Kexing and Pan Wen have no doubts about Lu Yao's cooking ability. This can be perfectly reflected from the fact that Fan Lou has changed Lu Yao's menu and the seats are packed.
It's not easy to eat Lu Yao's cooking. Not only do you have to choose the right time, but you also have to look at Lu Yao's mood. There was a time when Lu Yao was very tired of cooking. He always felt that he couldn't eat much by himself.
, and then a group of people have to ask him to cook and feed their stomachs every day, which is really not cost-effective.
But today, after watching the warm-up match, Lu Yao decided to cook in person to reward Pan Wen, Chen Chen and Zheke. The two brothers' warm-up match today can be said to have given him enough
In the past, neither the ministers of the court nor the people in the city had anything to do with Pan Wen and Chen Chen.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
There has always been private discussion about what kind of status a person can become the leader of the team. Although Lu Yao never cared about this, he still felt a little bored hearing this kind of voice. In today's warm-up match, Pan Wenhe
It can be said that Chen Chen gave those people a loud slap in the face with his actual actions. After this game, no one will doubt Pan Wen and Chen Chen's ability in new Cuju. Although Lu Yao believes in these two
A friend attached great importance to this game, but after he personally watched this warm-up match from the sidelines, the excitement completely exceeded Lu Yao's imagination. For a moment, he felt that he was watching
The final of the modern World Cup.
The same is true for Zhe Kexing. As a soldier, Lu Yao actually didn't notice that Zhe Kexing was also very eloquent. Today, when he was asked to serve as a commentator, Lu Yao actually didn't have much hope that he could be in the commentary process.
Zhong Kexing said something more. Unexpectedly, Zhe Kexing not only gave perfect answers to the professional questions raised by Su Shi and Su Che, but also perfectly avoided when Su Shi intentionally or unintentionally threw some pitfalls. It turned out that
My sworn brother is a person with such high emotional intelligence.
Based on these points, Lu Yao felt that even if it was a reward or if he wanted to express his gratitude to them, it was necessary for him to treat them to a meal. Since it was him who wanted to treat them, he must have cooked the meal himself.
These are what these people are looking forward to the most.
Zhe Kexing and Pan Wen immediately changed their tune when they heard Lu Yao said that he wanted to cook in person. Pan Wen directly expressed his agreement with Lu Yao's statement and went to Jiuzhongxian for a party. He also felt that Fan Lou was a little noisy.
As for Zhe Kexing, he symbolically walked to Chen Chen, who was already chatting with his team members, and explained the situation to him. Chen Chen then walked over and expressed his agreement. For Chen Chen, Lu Yao's cooking
It can be said to be the most delicious. He was a coach and a player today. Under the double pressure, his physical strength was exhausted very quickly. He himself also felt a little hungry. It was time to replenish his physical fitness according to the requirements. Originally, he thought
He said that he was going to Fanlou with the team members, but he heard that Lu Yao was going to cook in person, so he definitely couldn't miss this opportunity.
So, the four of them decided on the arrangements for a while.
At this time, Zhao Zhen seemed to have listened to Wang Da and Wang Yi's report on their analysis of the warm-up match. What's interesting is that, at some point, Zhao Zhen used the words Su Shi and Su Che used when commenting on the game.
He took the loudspeaker, the iron horn, into his hand, and said to everyone through the loudspeaker: "All the players from both sides participating in the game, as well as all the dear friends watching the game on the sidelines, you have worked hard today."
When everyone present heard Zhao Zhen's voice coming from the loudspeaker, they immediately looked this way and began to salute.
"No need to be formal, just keep your body straight," Zhao Zhen said. "I watched this warm-up match today, and I just feel excited. I have to say that Pan Wen and Chen Chen, the two leaders of the team, are prepared for this game."
It takes a lot to make this game such a wonderful event. I would like to express my gratitude to you here."
Chen Chen and Pan Wen listened and bowed respectfully towards Zhao Zhen.
Although Zhao Zhen was far away from these two people, he still nodded slightly in response to them, and then continued: "Actually, there have been two major events for me recently. The first is the imperial examination that was just held a few days ago.
Exam. And the second thing is this new Cuju competition."
All the members of these eight teams have not participated in the imperial examination. After all, their status is generally relatively low, and their education level does not support signing up for the imperial examination. However, in fact, they still yearn for the imperial examination in their hearts.
, even Chen Chen is no exception.
However, Zhao Zhen's current speech clearly puts them in the same important position as the imperial examination, indicating that the emperor attaches great importance to these team members. This is the art of Zhao Zhen's speaking. The team members present heard
The emperor attaches great importance to himself and is very happy in his heart. Basically, everyone will secretly swear at this time to perform well in the official competition.
"Before today's warm-up match started, I actually had some concerns." Zhao Zhen continued with a loudspeaker, "Because I heard from Lu Qing's family about this match before, and it was nominally organized by me.
In this competition, Lu Yao is actually responsible for everything. I believe in Lu Yao's ability very much, but before coming here today, I also thought about whether this warm-up match would not reach my heart.
expectations, or, in order to satisfy my curiosity, the two teams agreed to have a designed exhibition match."
When Zhao Zhen came to the training ground today, the Fanlou team and the Grassroots team were on the training ground. Each team chose a half-court for pre-match training. At that time, Zhao Zhen thought that the two teams had agreed on what to do today.
Such a performance.
"However, after watching today's warm-up match, I feel that my decision to hold this new Cuju competition could not be more correct." Zhao Zhen continued, "Many of you have never seen it.
The previous performance of the Royal Cuju Team, I can tell you now, the performance of the original Royal Cuju Team was relatively beautiful, but you don’t have to feel sorry, because today’s warm-up match is better than the Royal Cuju Team that I have seen before
The exhibition game is ten times better."
Hearing the emperor admitting himself, the members of the Fanlou team and the Grassroots team were very happy and proud.
Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "Of course, the beauty of the game is inseparable from the efforts of every team member. In addition, I also want to thank the three people on the referee team, namely Bao Zheng, Zhan Zhao and Gongsun Ce, and
The trio of commentators, the two Su brothers and Katsuyuki Zhejiang, all added a lot of fun to this warm-up match."
As soon as these words came out, Zhan Zhao felt a little unhappy. After all, he was the chief referee and Bao Zheng was the side referee. However, the emperor must have said that he was used to naming the trio in Kaifeng Mansion, so he put Bao Zheng's name in it.
Being in the first place, that's why Zhan Zhao felt unhappy.
"Especially Katsuyuki Ozuki. He just guided the training of eight teams for more than ten days. Today he became a commentator again. He did an excellent job in the tasks assigned to him."
After hearing what Zhao Zhen said, Lu Yao immediately winked at Zhe Kexing. The meaning of Zhao Zhen's words was clear.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
It couldn't be in vain. Now the war in Xixia is tense, and Zhe Kexing is a soldier. This time in the new Cuju competition, Zhe Kexing shines both as an instructor and commentator. Soon, the court will welcome employees.
At this time, if you want to quell the Xixia War, it is completely impossible to rely solely on those scholars who were selected with excellent scores in the imperial examinations. Excellent troops, generals, and soldiers are all must have. After all, judging from the current situation
Come on, a war between the Song Dynasty and Xixia is bound to happen.
There are very few people around Zhao Zhen who he truly trusts now. He knows very well that Fan Zhongyan will definitely be given military power when the time comes. This will cause Fan Zhongyan to promote some military talents when he leads troops to fight. However,
It should be noted that these talents do not belong to the royal family. Like the members of the Goshawks, they are more focused on their military commanders than on the emperor.
Zhao Zhen has been cultivating his own power during this period. Lu Yao is actually within the scope of his consideration. And because of Lu Yao's relationship, the people around Lu Yao are naturally included in Zhao Zhen's investigation.
among.
Through this new Cuju competition, Lu Yao actually intended to push Zhe Kexing up and give him more opportunities to express and show himself. In this way, he would naturally attract Zhao Zhen's attention. But the Xixia War
Lu Yao did not expect this, but it is also a good thing from another perspective. It means that because of the existence of this war, Zhe Katsuyuki can join the political stage earlier and become Lu Yao's right-hand man.
Therefore, Lu Yao's wink to Zhe Kexing was naturally to tell Zhe Kexing to keep working hard, and there will definitely be more opportunities in the future. And Zhe Kexing is not a fool, and he, who has a very high emotional intelligence, also heard that Zhao Zhen
What he meant by these words was that Zhe Kexing said loudly: "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty. I will definitely work harder in the future!"
When Zhe Kexing said this, his voice was so loud that Zhao Zhen couldn't help but hear it.
"Thank you for your hard work, Aiqing. Next, I hope that the two teams in tomorrow's warm-up match will also be ready to play a beautiful warm-up match. I don't know how Han Qing's family and Cao Qing's family are preparing to do.
."
After Zhao Zhen said this, he looked at Han Yonghe and Cao Yi beside him.
Of course, he didn't really want Han Yonghe and Cao Yi to answer this question. In fact, Zhao Zhen had heard Tang Long and Wang Da say it many times about the strength gap between the upper and lower halves, and now he asked this question.
Let me mention Cao Yi and Han Yonghe. The intensity of today's warm-up match has been mentioned here. Tomorrow will be the match day for their two teams. They should be aware of whether they are playing well or not, although they will definitely not be able to achieve it.
Given the intensity of today's warm-up match, it would be unjustifiable if the game was uneventful and ugly.
Cao Yi and Han Yonghe, who have been in official circles for a long time, saw the look in Zhao Zhen's eyes and understood what he meant. In fact, Han Yonghe was not too panicked. After all, during the training process, the Wenyuan team was doing
Although the measures Lu Yao quietly took later made the Wenyuan team's current position very embarrassing, it should be said that the replacement of these three players still gave Han Yonghe reassurance.
After all, the three of them are still very strong. If we look at the quality of the players alone, the Wenyuan team will definitely be stronger than the Lions. Don't look at the two live treasures of the Lions, one fat and one thin. Now their body shape has begun to change.
There have been changes, but in terms of experience, the Lions have not had much contact with the common people in Cuju, but the Wenyuan team has three masters on the team.
Han Yonghe thought so in his heart, and couldn't help but look at Cao Yi. In Han Yonghe's opinion, this old guy must be very frightened by the emperor's words. Unexpectedly, Cao Yi didn't show any concern at all.
The reason for the panic is very simple, that is, the Lions, like the grassroots teams, also have a master tactician, that is Cao You. He knows very well the gap in players' physical fitness and how to use tactics to make up for it. This is also the case in today's game.
Go to what Chen Chen did.
Therefore, tomorrow's warm-up match may not be as exciting as today, but the intrigue between these two old guys is still worth looking forward to.
After Zhao Zhen mentioned the Cao family and the Han family, he then told all the leaders present what Lu Yao had just told him about the formal competition process and the final schedule.
It seems that none of these leaders have any objections. In fact, it is very necessary to give each team a certain amount of time to go to the real competition venue to familiarize themselves and warm up before the official competition. Even if Lu Yao does not bring it up.
, experienced people like Cao You and Wang Da will also ask Zhao Zhen for instructions on this matter. Now, Zhao Zhen is said to have completely finalized this matter, which also means that the official competition may be better than
It was expected to take longer.
Zhao Zhen saw that everyone had no objections. He had been standing in this training ground for an hour. The warm-up match was over. From the mental state alone, Zhao Zhen could also see the fatigue of the two team members, so he did not continue.
If you don't say anything more, just tell everyone to leave the palace on their own. Tomorrow we will come to the training ground at the same time for the second warm-up match. The distance will be the same as today.
After saying this, Zhao Zhen thought about returning to the palace first, and the other spectators there also began to leave the training ground one after another.
Lu Yao whispered a few words to Zhe Kexing. Zhe Kexing was confused for a moment, then immediately realized and hurried to where Zhao Zhen was.
"What did you say to him?" Pan Wen and Chen Chen asked, somewhat confused.
"I asked him to find the emperor and talk about tomorrow's warm-up match. He should prepare benches for each team, including tables and chairs for the commentators, so that the emperor would feel that he is a careful person."
Pan Wen and Chen Chen realized that Lu Yao was giving Zhe Kexing a chance to perform. Seeing that Zhe Kexing would not be back for a while, the two of them walked to their respective teams and asked their team members to assemble and leave the palace together.
When they arrived at Fan Tower, Pan Wen told Li Hao that he should tell the shopkeeper of Fan Tower about his treat. Li Hao had been to Fan Tower with Pan Wen several times before, and his words were trustworthy.
In this way, the members of the two teams left the training ground closely behind the leaders of the other teams.
