Chapter 423 What's Wrong? (For the Leader "Sour Fish without Vegetables" 10,000 a Day!)

"Brother, now that Laoba doesn't have the help of the sea green, there is nothing to worry about."

"We can wait until the finals to discuss the finals, but you must win this game well."

The fourth prince ordered.

When the eldest prince heard this, he couldn't help but nodded, and then looked in the direction of the eighth prince.

The eighth prince also stood up at this time, looking in the direction of the three elder prince brothers and sisters.

His eyes were full of fighting spirit.

But at this moment, Princess Ankang secretly kicked him under the table.

The eighth prince reacted immediately and looked like he was gritting his teeth while staring at the eldest prince.

Seeing the eighth prince's expression, the three brothers and sisters of the eldest prince didn't take it to heart.

"Don't worry about him, let him be."

After all, the fourth prince destroyed his beloved Hai Dongqing yesterday, and it was right for the eighth prince to hate them.

Therefore, he had no expectations for his grandson for a long time.

The Eighth Prince has also lost a lot of face to Qin Zongyong in the past few years.

"It's Axiang!"

Yesterday, they all saw with their own eyes how badly Axiang was injured.

Zhang Zhixian was full of expectations, but Qin Zongyong didn't care that much and looked like he was lacking in interest.

"Old Qin, the Eighth Prince is here. I see why you, the grandfather, don't care about him?"

Qin Zongyong replied angrily.

The Eighth Prince looked up at the figure hovering in the sky, his eyes turning slightly red.

But after just one night, the sea holly was flying freely in the sky before their eyes.

Moreover, this eighth prince has been Qin Zongyong's heartache for many years. In terms of degree of trouble, he is definitely no better than Zhao Dinghai.

Both of them happened to be the grandfathers of the two princes, but their reactions were very different.

"Eat your food, no one will think you are dumb!"

Not only was he famous inside the palace, but he was also famous outside the palace.

Seeing the two of them bickering, several other noble men also laughed and watched the excitement.

"What Ankang said is true, she didn't lie to me!"

Zhao Dinghai on the side asked knowingly.

As long as the Eighth Prince doesn't implicate himself when he goes out to cause trouble, Qin Zongyong will be thankful.

If we were to talk about who is the most dandy among the royal heirs today, it must be the eighth prince.

Just by hearing this loud cry, the Eighth Prince could conclude that Axiang's current condition was better than ever.

It was so fast that most people could only see an afterimage.

Now that the situation is changing, it is Qin Zongyong's turn to be embarrassed. Zhao Dinghai is naturally fully prepared to watch the show, and has a lot of words brewing in his heart waiting to be sarcastic later.

Everyone else understood what was going on.

In the Tai Chi Palace, a group of big shots also became interested in this second game.

Qin Zongyong's grandson, the eighth prince, has been in trouble for several years.

The eldest prince withdrew his gaze, and then led his two eunuchs to the Cuju field.

Zhao Feng was waiting on the sidelines with a smile, waiting for the Eighth Prince on the other side to come on stage.

The fourth prince said to the other two.

"唳——"

The next moment, a white figure shot out from the roof of Tai Chi Palace and flew high into the blue sky.

"Is the second game between the eldest prince and the eighth prince?"

Many people said this and silently turned their eyes to the two people in the field.

Unlike the excited eighth prince, the other princes and princesses were all shocked.

How can this prevent them from doubting their own eyes.

When the third prince made a fool of himself before, Qin Zongyong often made fun of him.

At this moment, a loud bird song suddenly echoed across the sky.

When he heard this familiar voice, the Eighth Prince was naturally very excited.

One is Qin Zongyong, the Duke of Hu State, and the other is Zhang Zhixian, the minister in charge.

It was because of this that a conflict almost broke out.

"interesting."

Among them, the three eldest prince brothers and sisters especially couldn't believe the scene in front of them.

"It's impossible, it's impossible. Yesterday I clearly..."

The fourth prince murmured to himself, with a confused expression on his face. It was rare for him to lose his composure like this.

"Fourth brother, how could that bird do this?"

The sixth princess was also unable to understand the situation in front of her.

The eldest prince, who was about to compete with the eighth prince, was the calmest.

He looked at Axiang, who was spreading his wings and slowly hovering down in the sky. He just shook his head and smiled, calmly accepting the facts in front of him.

He even breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Axiang!"

"Axiang!"

The Eighth Prince rushed to the Cuju field, shouted to the sky, and stretched out his right arm.

Axiang immediately let out a cheerful chirp, folded his wings, and swooped down. Then, as he approached the Eighth Prince, he spread his wings and slowed down, landing lightly on the Eighth Prince's arm.

The Eighth Prince's arm couldn't help but sink, and he quickly used all his strength to hold it up.

"Axiang, just be okay, just be okay."

The Eighth Prince happily stroked Axiang's wings. Although he noticed that the weight on his arms was different from before, he did not delve too deeply into it at the moment.

After watching Li Xuan's performance in the first game, the audience in the stands were no longer surprised that the Eighth Prince brought a sea turtle onto the field.

And judging from the appearance alone, this Haidongqing looks much more reliable.

"I've heard that the Eighth Prince has a Saker Falcon. Now I see it with my own eyes. It's really handsome."

"This Saker Falcon is really well-raised."

Someone who knows the business commented on Axiang immediately.

Falconry and running dogs are very popular in the aristocratic circles of Daxing, and there are many like-minded people of the Eighth Prince.

After all, hawks and dogs play an important role in hunting.

And hunting is an indispensable sport for the nobles.

"This Saker Falcon is so majestic. I think it must be a rare and exotic animal, right?"

"The previous black cat was so powerful. Isn't this one that can fly even more powerful?"

As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, while experts watch the doorway.

Some people began to speculate whether Axiang would be more powerful than Li Xuan.

But no matter what, their expectations for the game have been raised.

As for the eldest prince, there was not much discussion in the stands.

There were even many people who didn't know him.

After all, in front of the well-known Eighth Prince, the eldest prince's recognition was still a step behind.

When everyone knew the identity of the eldest prince, they all had different expressions.

"He is the eldest prince, he looks very talented, but unfortunately..."

"What nonsense are you talking about? The eldest prince is backed by the Zhang family, so don't talk nonsense."

When talking about the eldest prince, everyone mentioned the family of Concubine Zhang, and the Shangshu Ling Zhang Zhixian, the head of all officials, and Mr. Zhang.

The Zhang family is the family with the deepest foundation in the civil service lineage today, and it has a decisive power in the court.

The children of the Zhang family are all over Daxing, from high-ranking officials to county officials in remote areas, but there are people from his old Zhang family.

However, the Zhang family has always adhered to the system of dividing the family. As long as someone in the family becomes an official, a new family will be divided out based on this person to weaken the connection between each other.

This is also for the Zhang family to protect themselves, and at the same time, it is also for the children of the family to display their ambitions as much as possible.

Otherwise, even if a large family that sticks together has many talents, the court will not dare to recruit them at will, and there are many concerns.

At least, this method of splitting up can alleviate some of these concerns.

Moreover, even if they are separated from the same Zhang family, they will attack each other because of their different political views, without any mercy.

This is also the fundamental reason why the Zhang family has been able to develop to this day and remain strong.

In Taiji Palace, Zhang Zhixian is also looking forward to the performance of the eldest prince.

His grandfather has always been very satisfied with the eldest prince.

However, the eldest prince's luck is always a little worse, so that he lags behind others step by step.

In this regard, although the Shangshu Ling has a lot of feelings, he can't do anything about it.

At this time, all the contestants for the second round of the competition have been in place.

The eighth prince held Axiang with one hand and brought the eunuch Xiaomizi.

The eldest prince brought two elite eunuchs from Qingshu Palace, whose strength was at the peak of the seventh rank and stuck on the rule line.

The two teams stood face to face, full of gunpowder.

The Eighth Prince has not forgotten the revenge of the Fourth Prince.

The Fourth Prince used many tricks yesterday just to make the First Prince win today's game.

The Eighth Prince knew that as long as he defeated the First Prince head-on, all the efforts of the Fourth Prince would be in vain.

This is his best revenge on the Fourth Prince!

The First Prince stood calmly in front of the Eighth Prince, facing his fiery eyes.

"Old Eighth, although I don't know how you cured your bird, you should still let it be careful."

"Since you dare to bring it back to the arena, I think you have made all preparations."

"If the same thing happens again as yesterday, you must control your temper."

"In public, we can't lose the face of the royal family again."

The First Prince said expressionlessly, as if he was telling the Eighth Prince a simple fact in advance.

The Eighth Prince narrowed his eyes and his expression was solemn.

He had naturally considered such things himself.

The eldest prince's cultivation is even stronger than the fourth prince's. He might be able to hurt Axiang like the fourth prince did yesterday.

But the eighth prince wants to take Axiang with him to avenge this grudge.

Zhao Feng, the referee on the sidelines, took a deep look at Axiang and couldn't move his eyes away.

Zhao Feng forced himself to look away, closed his eyes, and exhaled a deep breath.

Then he announced after a whistle:

"The game begins!"

The players on both sides turned around and stood in position, ready to kick off.

The eighth prince stroked Axiang's wings, and then said to it:

"Axiang, you must protect yourself."

The eighth prince just gave a simple instruction and looked into Axiang's eyes.

The long time together has cultivated an extraordinary tacit understanding between them.

Axiang immediately spread his wings, flapped twice, and made a loud cry, full of fighting spirit.

The Eighth Prince smiled, then waved his arm, and Ah Xiang immediately took off into the air, hovering above their heads.

The opening ball was served by the Eighth Prince's team.

After he received the ball from Zhao Feng, he did not make any extra moves, but kicked it far away, drawing a high arc, straight to the opponent's Feng Liuyan.

"Is it the same trick again?"

The eldest prince smiled slightly, but he was not too nervous.

Yesterday, the fourth prince had already demonstrated to him the idea of ​​breaking the game.

All the eldest prince needed to do was to repeat it again.

Axiang's attack from the air is indeed difficult to deal with, but as long as someone is arranged to defend Fengliuyan, it will not be a problem to hold on for a while.

During this period, as long as they can solve Axiang, the biggest threat, their pressure will be reduced sharply.

Although the Eighth Prince's Cuju strength is also a threat, at least it is not as unsolvable as Axiang.

As for the way to deal with Axiang, the eldest prince also has his own plan.

The ball that the fourth prince kicked yesterday was kicked out by imitating the fifth-grade skill Fenglai Leg.

But the eldest prince does not have this ability and cannot hit Axiang hard with one blow, but he has his own way.

At this time, Axiang has already launched an attack.

I saw Axiang's figure flying through the air at a high speed, and he used his claws to accurately hit the ball.

The ball immediately made a whoosh and shot straight to Fengliuyan.

The audience in the stands saw that Axiang's attack was so tricky, and they exclaimed for a while.

"Isn't this too foul?"

"Attack from the air, how to defend?"

Just when everyone was confused, the two eunuchs of the eldest prince had already cooperated, sent a man in front of Feng Liuyan, and stretched out their feet to block Feng Liuyan.

The ball hit the eunuch's feet and bounced straight away.

The audience saw that such a difficult move was needed to defend the attack. Although the eldest prince defended it, they still didn't think highly of them.

"This is too difficult to defend."

"It's okay to do this move a few times, but who can keep it up for the whole game."

"I didn't expect that animal training would have such a big effect on the Cuju field, which added a lot of fun to the game."

Many people have begun to appreciate the charm of Cuju games involving animal training.

Some people have even started to think about it and plan to go back and hold one.

Let's go back to the Cuju field.

Although the eldest prince successfully blocked Axiang's attack, the landing point of the ball was a bit unsatisfactory, and it was about to fly to the eighth prince, allowing the other party to attack again.

At this time, the eldest prince used his Qinggong skills, jumped up directly, stretched out his foot to reach the ball in the air, and performed a difficult overhead kick.

No one expected that the eldest prince's ball skills were also quite good.

The ball flew accurately to the Eighth Prince's Fengliuyan, and the speed was not slow.

But the ball was not as fast as the fastest, and was intercepted by the Eighth Prince, who kicked it back in the air, and flew back to the opposite Fengliuyan with great momentum.

Suddenly, the ball flew back and forth between the two sides' fields, and the speed was so fast that it was dazzling.

Not long after the game started, the eldest prince and the eighth prince actually started a tit-for-tat confrontation.

Even the other four players had no chance to touch the ball, and could only watch the ball shuttle back and forth nervously.

Even Axiang had no room to intervene for a while.

Obviously, the confrontation between the two was full of emotions.

The eldest prince and the eighth prince kept moving their bodies, adjusting their postures, and using difficult and threatening attacks to fight back against each other.

This fierce competition made the audience feel very excited.

In the first game, Princess Ankang's ball skills were a personal performance. The third prince's ball skills were really average, and not long after the game started, the third prince and his men started kicking the ball at people.

If it weren't for Princess Ankang's support, the viewing quality of that game would be extremely poor.

In particular, the third prince was extremely out of control at the end, which made the audience have a worse impression.

It was fun, but the elements of Cuju were too little for a Cuju game.

But now it's different.

The eldest prince and the eighth prince were evenly matched for a while, and both of them had amazing ball skills. It was really a Cuju feast.

Exclamations rang out with each shot.

The atmosphere on the scene gradually became heated as the two people blasted against each other.

But just when everyone was used to the rhythm of the two people's attack, the ball suddenly flew up and headed straight for Axiang.

It turned out that the eldest prince had been preparing for this sneak attack for a long time.

"Axiang, get out of the way!"

The eighth prince shouted hurriedly.

The eighth prince, who had been fighting for a long time, knew best how heavy the eldest prince's foot was.

If Axiang was kicked with his physique, I'm afraid the injury would be more serious than yesterday, and he might even die on the spot.

Li Xuan was lying on the roof of Taiji Palace watching the game. Seeing that the eldest prince also targeted Axiang, he couldn't help but smile slightly. He came down from the roof without even looking at the result, intending to go back to find Princess Ankang.

"Naive!"

"Do you still think Axiang is the Axiang of yesterday?"

Li Xuan curled his lips and smiled, not worrying that Axiang would be injured at all.

And on the Cuju field, Axiang's performance did not disappoint Li Xuan.

Facing the ball, Axiang's eyes suddenly became sharp. After a crisp cry, he began to flap his wings vigorously.

His figure suddenly rose high and he dodged the ball.

The sudden flapping of wings made the eldest prince and the eighth prince on the Cuju field feel a breeze blowing on their faces.

The eldest prince looked solemn, waiting for the result of his sneak attack.

The eighth prince was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth for a while, looking at Axiang in the sky in a strange way.

For Axiang, the eighth prince can be said to be the one who is most familiar with it.

And Axiang's advantage has never been strength, but speed and flying ability.

But now, the power of Axiang flapping his wings made the eighth prince frightened.

In summer, the Eighth Prince always coaxed Axiang to blow air for him, but it was only able to blow some cool breeze, never so powerful.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Axiang not only distanced himself from the ball, but even reduced the speed of the ball.

The ball that was originally shot at Axiang drew a weak arc in the sky, and then fell to the court on the side of the Eighth Prince.

Xiao Mizi watched the show for a long time, and finally got his chance to perform.

He ran to the landing point of the ball in advance, and then passed a very comfortable ball to the Eighth Prince.

"Your Highness, catch it!"

As the eunuch of the Eighth Prince, Xiao Mizi was familiar with his habits when playing Cuju, and gave the Eighth Prince the most suitable angle for exerting force.

"Xiaomizi, good job!"

The Eighth Prince just looked at the trajectory of the ball and praised loudly.

He immediately took three steps forward, and while increasing his speed, he also sent the weight of his entire body out, concentrating on his feet.

The next moment, the ball was sent to the feet of the Eighth Prince as if it had been carefully designed.

Bang——

A dull sound exploded, and the ball drew an upward arc, drawing a rainbow bridge, easily avoiding the eunuch's foot blocking on the opposite side, and passed through the Fengliu Eye cleanly.

This beautiful ball caused an uproar in the audience.

Zhao Feng also blew a whistle and announced the new score.

"One to zero!"

Li Xuan had just returned to the arms of Princess Ankang at this time, and he couldn't help but secretly say "Fuck" when he saw such an amazing kick.

I have to admit that the Eighth Prince's kick was too handsome.

The ball was not only fast and accurate, but also drew an arc that fell at a very fast speed, making it difficult for the opponent to defend.

The opponent's foot almost blocked the Fengliu Eye, but in the end he still couldn't stop the ball, and it rubbed the toes of the eunuch on the opposite side and drilled into the Fengliu Eye.

Although you can jump up and block with your feet when defending Fengliuyan, no one can stay in the air all the time. If the timing is not good, it is useless even if you can jump to the height of Fengliuyan.

This is why the Eighth Prince, who has Axiang's help, has such a big advantage.

Because Axiang can extend the time of staying in the air indefinitely, he has a huge advantage that ordinary people cannot match on both offense and defense.

Obviously, this time the eunuch of the eldest prince misjudged the timing of defense and lost the ball.

But facing the amazing kick of the Eighth Prince, I am afraid that even the eldest prince can't stop it. It's really too tricky. The speed of the ball is too fast, and people don't have enough reaction time.

"This old Eighth Prince's Cuju is really amazing."

"This guy is also very qualified as a dandy."

Li Xuan couldn't help but sigh.

In terms of Cuju and falconry alone, the Eighth Prince did much better than others.

And the bigwigs in Taiji Palace also exclaimed at the Eighth Prince's goal.

After all, when they were young, they also had a hobby of Cuju.

Although they don't play on the field much now, they still watch some games occasionally.

As for the goal that the Eighth Prince just scored, it would be difficult for the famous Cuju players in the capital to play it.

"Wow, the Cuju of His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince is really amazing."

Someone couldn't help but praise.

Others also nodded.

Even Emperor Yongyuan took a closer look at the Eighth Prince.

Qin Zongyong immediately raised his head and chest, hummed happily twice, and nodded in agreement: "The Eighth Prince is indeed extraordinary."

While saying this, Qin Zongyong did not forget to glance at Zhang Zhixian on the opposite side with his little eyes. Seeing that his expression was a little ugly, he became more proud.

Everyone can see that the Eighth Prince has a great advantage because of Axiang.

Although the eldest prince's ball skills are not bad, he can only barely compete with the Eighth Prince at most.

Now that the eldest prince has lost a goal first, the pressure will be even greater, and it will be difficult for him to turn the tables.

"This kid is fooling around every day, but he is not completely useless."

Although Qin Zongyong was dissatisfied with the Eighth Prince's lack of work on weekdays, he was quite satisfied that he could show up at the Chongyang Banquet today, which made him look good.

"It would be great if he had such fighting spirit on weekdays."

Qin Zongyong couldn't help thinking so as he looked at the high-spirited Eighth Prince on the Cuju field.

My grandson usually studies how to eat, drink and have fun, and most of those dandy tricks are just for fun, and he doesn't care about winning or losing at all.

If he is beaten, he laughs.

If he is bullied, he also laughs.

He has no desire to win, which has always been a headache for Qin Zongyong.

He has persuaded him many times, but the Eighth Prince is firm and just wants to eat and wait for death.

But today's game gave Qin Zongyong a glimmer of hope.

"But it's rare for this kid to fight so hard like today."

"Is there any conflict with the eldest prince?"

Qin Zongyong couldn't help but start to pay attention, wanting to figure out what made the eighth prince so motivated, to see if he could use it in the future.

No wonder Qin Zongyong was so concerned, because the eighth prince was too dazzling on the court today.

After the eighth prince scored a goal, he raised his arms and roared loudly, quite domineering.

Axiang fell on his arm, rubbed against the eighth prince intimately, and celebrated together.

"Axiang did a good job!"

Although the eighth prince didn't know why Axiang's strength increased so much overnight, he was still happy for it.

"When you are in danger, flap your wings like you did just now, so they can't hurt you."

The Eighth Prince stroked Axiang's wings and gave instructions excitedly.

He then turned to look at the eldest prince, smiling slightly while his eyes were full of fighting spirit.

The eighth prince didn't just want to win today, but he wanted to win beautifully and make them regret messing with him.

When the outcome was decided, he would appreciate the expressions of the fourth prince on the field.

The Eighth Prince turned around and prepared to continue the game.

Beside the eldest prince, his two eunuchs hurried over to apologize.

"Your Highness, we are incompetent..."

The eldest prince raised his hand to stop their next words.

"I can't blame you for that goal earlier."

"Even I may not be able to stop it."

Seeing that the eldest prince did not express his anger at them, the two eunuchs also showed gratitude.

"Your Highness, what should we do next?"

"If we continue to be so passive defensive, I'm afraid that in the second half..."

Yesterday, the Fourth Prince's game was still fresh in their minds.

If Axiang is allowed to attack from the air, even if they barely defend, their physical strength will be at the bottom in the second half.

Although they can be replaced by other eunuchs from Qingshu Palace at that time, their strength will inevitably be inferior to the two of them, and their chances of winning will only be even lower.

Therefore, while the first half was still on the court, the two eunuchs wanted to find an opportunity to make up for their mistakes and at least produce some results before leaving the field later.

The eldest prince naturally understood these truths, but he didn't take the words of the two eunuchs too seriously.

"You just need to defend well and leave the offense to me."

"Try to defend every ball as much as possible and then give me a comfortable landing spot."

"You don't have to worry about the rest, and no one will blame you later."

For this game, the eldest prince had already made his own plans.

It is impossible to win.

From the beginning, the eldest prince thought about this very clearly.

This was not because he was afraid of the Eighth Prince's strength, but because winning this game would not do him any good.

Even if he advances to the finals, can he beat Princess Ankang?

This is obviously impossible.

From now on, Princess Ankang has long been in an invincible position because she has unconventional help like Li Xuan.

And if he really advances to the finals, will Princess Ankang be lenient to him?

According to the relationship between Jingyang Palace and Qingshu Palace, the eldest prince believed that Princess Ankang would most likely instruct the black cat to kick the shit out of him.

The eldest prince really didn't want to make the same mistakes as the third prince again in public.

At this time, he remembered what the fourth prince said earlier.

"Fourth brother is right, you don't have to win the game."

“Being able to leave a good impression on these people is also a bonus.”

The eldest prince looked around, looking at the audience in the stands, and finally his eyes rested in the direction of Tai Chi Palace.

The eldest prince's calm appearance after losing the ball also made everyone nod.

Inside Tai Chi Palace.

"Be calm in times of crisis, be calm and restrained."

"A good talent is a rare resource."

Beside Zhang Zhixian, an old man in white twirled his beard and praised.

This old man was a court servant and was quite prestigious in the court. The fact that the eldest prince could receive such praise convinced others.

Of course, Qin Zongyong's mood on the opposite side was not much better.

It was his grandson who scored the goal, but the old man praised the eldest prince.

But Shizhong Pei was already old, and Qin Zongyong didn't bother to argue with him. He was really afraid that he would be mad at himself if he didn't catch his breath.

When the time comes, he won't be able to blackmail him to death, Lao Qin.

"Ba Ge's kick is really powerful!"

Princess Ankang's eyes were bright, and she was obviously impressed by the previous kick.

That wasn't enough, the little girl started gesticulating with her feet under the table, imitating the Eighth Prince's movements, as if she wanted to learn this move.

Seeing Princess Ankang studying Cuju so seriously, Li Xuan couldn't help but laugh.

It seems that Princess Ankang had a lot of fun playing Cuju this time, otherwise she would not have studied so seriously.

"It seems that we have to let her have fun playing later, otherwise it will be difficult to encounter such a big game in the future."

Li Xuan thought silently.

The game continues.

The eldest prince, who was one point behind, kicked off.

After being passed several times, the ball began to accelerate again, blurring back and forth between the two sides of the field.

The eighth prince found that the eldest prince was guiding him to fight again, a one-on-one battle between real men.

Naturally, the Eighth Prince was not afraid at all and accepted the invitation.

Even if this was still the eldest prince's plot to sneak attack A Xiang, the eighth prince was not worried at all now.

Through his performance just now, the Eighth Prince has confirmed that Axiang has the ability to deal with sneak attacks.

And although his strength is slightly inferior to that of the eldest prince, the eighth prince also has the advantage of football skills. It's a lot of fun to fight like this. Moreover, they are leading the score at this time, so they are happy to wait until the end of the game.

The eighth prince didn't want to cause any surprises at this time, so he followed the eldest prince's wishes.

Seeing that the game became exciting again, the audience also applauded and cheered, each supporting their favorite player.

The rhythm of the applause gradually caught up with the rhythm of their confrontation, becoming faster and faster, and the atmosphere on the Cuju court was ignited.

But the other players on the court couldn't help but feel bored.

Axiang was hovering in the air, squinting his eyes from time to time, as if he was about to fall asleep.

"Damn Lao Ba, pass the ball to Axiang."

"This ball is not just for you two to play with."

"I gave Axiang a special training yesterday."

Li Xuan saw the situation on the Cuju field and gritted his teeth in anger.

After he healed Axiang's injuries last night, he found that there was still some time before dawn.

Therefore, Li Xuan took Axiang to the yard for some simple special training.

Mainly to teach it how to deal with dangerous attacks.

The flapping wings that Axiang showed before was one of them.

Li Xuan also found out when he was training Axiang that after its body was healed by Yin-Yang Qi, its strength actually increased.

The previous fracture also became stronger, and its physical fitness improved a lot.

Li Xuan realized that in addition to healing injuries, Yin-Yang Qi also has this magical effect.

He originally wanted to experiment to see if there was an upper limit to the special effect of Yin-Yang Qi.

But thinking that Axiang still had a game to participate in today, he could only give up for the time being.

But now Axiang had no chance to show off, which made Li Xuan's special training less effective.

"Damn Old Eight, he only knows how to show off."

Li Xuan cursed secretly, and at the same time felt strange.

Logically speaking, the eldest prince's strategy had almost no chance of winning, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Li Xuan hoped that he could still find an opportunity to sneak attack Axiang like before.

This would give Axiang a chance to show off and use all the tricks he taught him last night.

"Fourth brother, what is the eldest brother doing?"

"If you continue like this, you will lose the game!"

The Sixth Princess said anxiously.

The Fourth Prince saw the eldest prince's intention and could only sigh.

He said before that the premise that the eldest prince could beat the Eighth Prince was that Axiang was not there.

But now Axiang's injury has fully recovered, and his performance is even more impressive than yesterday.

In this case, even if the eldest prince is stronger than the fourth prince, it is difficult to play any role.

The fourth prince felt exhausted when he thought that he had spent so much effort but had done nothing.

"Ankang, did you do it?"

The fourth prince looked at Princess Ankang not far away silently.

If he remembered correctly, it was Princess Ankang who took the injured Axiang away yesterday.

Moreover, according to his informants, the eighth prince was indeed in a low mood and fell asleep drunk last night.

If he guessed correctly, all this was also calculated by Princess Ankang.

"There are people beyond people, and there are heavens beyond heavens."

"I claim to be a master of scheming, but I am not as good as Ankang by one tenth or one twelfth."

The fourth prince felt disappointed.

Being defeated completely in the field he was most proud of was a great blow to him.

The sixth princess saw that the fourth prince's expression was not right, and hurriedly asked with concern:

"Fourth brother, what's wrong with you?"

"Did I ask too many questions and bother you?"

"I'm sorry."

The sixth princess apologized quickly, frowned slightly, and felt uncomfortable.

The eldest prince had little chance of winning on the field, and the fourth prince looked ugly off the field, which made the sixth princess, who could not help at all, feel extremely guilty.

"Sixth sister, it's none of your business."

The fourth prince shook his hand and forced a smile to the sixth princess.

"We lost, lost..."

"I am convinced!"

The fourth prince retracted his gaze and explained to the sixth princess.

"Who? The eighth prince?"

The sixth princess asked blankly.

The fourth prince touched his sister's head and explained patiently:

"Either the eighth prince or anyone else."

"Today we lost, and we can't find any excuses."

The sixth princess' eyes turned red.

Since the fourth prince said so, that's it.

He knew that his brother always had a purpose and never said anything without basis.

It was just that the sixth princess realized that the eldest prince could not win the game, and she couldn't help but feel very uncomfortable.

"But if we don't win again this month, my brother won't have a chance to overtake Ankang..."

"Then..."

Next year, the eldest prince will come of age, and it is inevitable that he will leave the palace and go to a separate residence.

If they can't find a good opportunity to perform before then, their mother may be desperate this time.

After all, Concubine Zhang's hope is all on the eldest prince.

The fourth prince naturally understands what the sixth princess is saying.

But he is helpless about this.

"Since we are here, we should make peace with it."

"We have worked hard and fought hard."

"It's good to have a clear conscience."

"As for the result, there is no need to force it."

For such words, the sixth princess was not convinced.

"But we have worked hard until now, but we can't get a desired result..."

"Sixth sister, this is reality."

The fourth prince smiled helplessly.

"Even if we were born in the royal family, not everything goes as we wish."

"Not to mention, maybe others have worked harder and paid more."

The fourth prince said meaningfully.

At this time, a whistle sounded on the Cuju field, and the first half of the game was over.

The eldest prince brought two equally exhausted eunuchs to the rest area on the sidelines to rest.

"Your Highness, who should be substituted in the second half?"

Beside the eldest prince, a group of eunuchs from the Qingshu Palace who were waiting for orders asked.

"No need to change, just continue to use the two of them."

The eldest prince said firmly while adjusting his breath and resting.

"this……"

The eunuchs who served nearby all looked at each other, thinking they had heard wrongly.

"Your Highness, but, our physical strength has bottomed out..."

The two eunuchs who had managed to survive the first half said bravely.

The eldest prince did not continue to speak, but opened his closed eyes again and glanced at them coldly.

The eunuchs who served nearby immediately lowered their heads in fear and did not dare to say any more words.

"Seize the time to rest."

After uttering the last words, the eldest prince continued to close his eyes and regulate his breathing to regain his strength.

He also knew very well that although they barely maintained the score in the first half, they would definitely not be able to sustain it in the second half.

But if other eunuchs came on stage, the situation could not be changed.

It was impossible to win this game.

In this case, it is better to work hard in other aspects.

Halftime ended quickly.

The second half continues.

Just as the eldest prince had expected, not long after the second half started, they started conceding goals.

The eldest prince and the eighth prince could no longer maintain their attack due to excessive physical exertion, so they began to engage in a normal game.

At this time, Axiang's advantage was revealed. On both offense and defense, he was invincible against his exhausted opponents, and he started to score goals one after another.

The score difference soon widened to double digits and became ten to zero.

Just when everyone began to lament that the eldest prince's defeat was certain, the eldest prince suddenly shouted to his two eunuchs:

"Don't give up the game before it's the last minute."

"No matter what the outcome is, give it your all!"

The two eunuchs were as tired as dogs, but after hearing this, they couldn't help but look at each other and seemed to understand something.

They immediately mustered up their last strength and responded loudly:

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Their fierce fighting spirit immediately moved many viewers.

The fourth prince, who was originally disappointed, was even more enlightened, and he couldn't help praising in his heart:

"Okay, what a big brother!"

In just a short while, the eldest prince shouted slogans. Although the three of them were so tired that their legs were soft and weak, their momentum was not inferior to that of the eighth prince.

This posture left the Eighth Prince speechless for a while.

"Is there something wrong?"

"Why do you get more excited the more you lose?"
