Chapter 528: Soldiers Have No Fixed Form

Neither Zhao Dinghai nor Qin Zongyong was in a hurry to lobby.

They watched the game silently, as if the old gods were there, and they seemed to be sure of victory.

But everyone knows that today there must be a winner.

Neither of the parties involved is in a hurry, and there is no need for the others to be anxious.

The five princes on the stage all looked at the game on the field with smiles, and seemed to be immersed in this Cuju exchange competition.

The third prince and the eighth prince seemed to know that this game would be related to their respective fates, and they played harder than the other.

Even the Eighth Prince, who always had a cheerful personality, looked extremely serious at this time.

Even though he is not strong enough, he gives it his all every chance he touches the ball.

Even though he was embarrassed in the physical confrontation, the Eighth Prince gritted his teeth and got up, never lying on the ground for a second longer.

After all, the eighth prince also has blood from his mother and concubine.

Qin Zongyong also felt relieved when he looked at the Eighth Prince who refused to admit defeat easily.

Otherwise, even if the Eighth Prince has the idea of ​​​​reviving, if he is not the material, Hu Guogong will let him accept the reality as soon as possible.

But as the opposing team gradually entered the state, the gap gradually appeared.

The teams of the eldest prince and the third prince scored first and gained the advantage in the second game.

And judging from the situation of the game, the possibility of a comeback on the Eighth Prince's side is not high.

Although the Eighth Prince's strength is a bit of a hindrance, in the twenty-one team, this impact is not big.

The main problem is that the morale of the Eighth Prince and his friends is slowly declining.

Winning the first game didn't give them much of an advantage.

On the contrary, after conceding the first goal in the second game, the team's morale dropped significantly.

Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.

Unless they are crushed by strength, it is impossible for morale to remain high.

On the contrary, teams that suffered setbacks at the beginning will immediately boost their morale as soon as they see the slightest possibility of a comeback.

The overturned team will naturally be under greater pressure.

In this case, if no one can stand up and boost morale again, the result of the second game will no longer be in suspense.

Zhao Dinghai was very satisfied with the situation on the field. He calmly glanced at Qin Zongyong beside him and sneered in his heart when he found that Qin Zongyong could still pretend to be calm.

"No matter how hard the Eighth Prince tries, it's to no avail. I don't know what this guy is thinking about?"

Based on Zhao Dinghai's understanding of Qin Zongyong, he would not do anything meaningless.

But no matter what Zhao Dinghai thinks, except for Qin Zongyong's desire to make his grandson work harder, the Qin family will not get any other benefits from today's Cuju competition.

Qin Zongyong could do this kind of thing of sacrificing his face for his grandson.

But so what?

Qin Zongyong watched the game on the field carefully, but no one except himself knew that the eighth prince was not the only one he paid attention to.

Qin Zongyong's attention was still on Princess Ankang.

"What a strong control!"

Qin Zongyong frowned slightly and carefully observed Princess Ankang's movements.

Princess Ankang becomes stronger when she encounters the strong, and becomes weak when she encounters the weak.

Although the physical confrontation on the court was fierce, Princess Ankang was able to control the situation very well.

With her previous brute force that could knock the third prince away, ordinary soldiers would probably be knocked to the point of vomiting blood, but this did not happen on the field.

On the Cuju field, soldiers face soldiers and generals, and they also have these concerns.

Everyone will take the initiative to meet people of equal strength.

However, the pace of the game is very fast, and sometimes there is no guarantee that they will face the same opponent every time. When the players get excited, their movements will only get bigger and bigger.

Occasionally, if there is an unequal collision, the opponent will immediately make up for it, which can be regarded as some small tacit understanding on the court.

Although it was just a Cuju competition, everyone did not use their real strength and only relied on their physical fitness and skills.

However, due to different realms, the difference in physique is also obvious.

Except for Princess Ankang, everyone else sticks to their positions.

After all, even the strongest young generals, no one is sure of carrying the ball from one end of the field to the other.

But Princess Ankang is an exception.

As her team fell into a disadvantage, Princess Ankang also gradually let go of her hands and feet. Regardless of her position, she took the ball and headed towards the opponent's goal.

If a person can beat one or two opponents, he is considered very good. After all, this is a twenty-one Cuju game, and the players on the field are still very dense.

The pace of the game is fast and extremely fierce. If you don't manage your physical strength well, you won't be able to run at the end, which will directly become a drag on the team.

But Princess Ankang seemed to have endless strength, dribbling the ball and rushing forward. She really had the momentum to kill a god when a god blocks her, and kill a Buddha when a Buddha blocks her.

"Ankang (Her Royal Highness the Princess), no!"

The Eighth Prince, Jiang Ying and other young generals shouted in a hurry, trying to stop Princess Ankang.

Such behavior is very dangerous and may lead to injury.

But Princess Ankang ignored her and just rushed forward.

Li Xuan, who was watching the game, smiled slightly when he saw this scene, but he was not worried at all.

"Hehe, little girl is going to get serious."

Princess Ankang's actions are tantamount to provoking the other party.

"Hmph, you don't overestimate your capabilities!"

Even if she is a royal princess, even if she is a twelve-year-old girl, she cannot be allowed to do so at this time.

Otherwise, if Princess Ankang really breaks through, they will not have to play Cuju in the future.

"I'll do it!"

A female general on the opposite side shouted and went to stop Princess Ankang.

She had been responsible for marking Princess Ankang in the previous warm-up match, and felt that it would not be a problem to stop her.

But when the two approached quickly, seeing that Princess Ankang showed no signs of slowing down, and only slightly lowered her shoulders to protect the ball, the female general could not help but frowned.

This kind of confrontation is the most fierce. The female general wanted to let Princess Ankang suffer less, but she could not hold back in this situation.

The previous warm-up match gave her some understanding of Princess Ankang's physical fitness, so she rushed forward with all her strength without hesitation.

In her opinion, Princess Ankang would at most suffer some hardships, and there would not be much danger.

Bang!

The distance between the two sides was instantly shortened, and the collision of the two figures made a loud noise, which temporarily overwhelmed the cheers on the sidelines.

The female general looked at Princess Ankang who continued to sprint under her feet in disbelief, unable to accept the fact that she was knocked away.

But her body was still like a rag doll, flying to the side of the field, rolling all the way and crashing into the crowd.

The soldiers sitting around the side of the field stopped the female general and helped her stabilize her body.

"Deputy General Zhao, are you still okay?"

The soldiers on the side of the field asked in unison.

This is the rule of Cuju in the army. If someone is knocked out of the field, the soldiers watching the game will ask a question.

If you admit your weakness and pretend to be dead or don't answer, the soldiers will send you off the field for treatment and rest.

Cuju in the army is an extremely barbaric sport. Didn't you see that there was no referee in this game?

If you can't hold on, you can admit your weakness and leave the field at any time. It's okay to be laughed at by the soldiers watching the game. It's also a common thing in the army.

Unless someone is going to die or something big happens, someone will come forward to stop it.

Otherwise, it is not uncommon for people to throw the ball aside and wrestle with their arms wide open while playing Cuju.

"I don't believe it!"

The female general called Deputy General Zhao shook her head, climbed up and returned to the field with an unconvinced look, and went straight to Princess Ankang.

Seeing Deputy General Zhao rejoin the battle, the soldiers watching cheered.

"My God, the girl Hongmei was knocked away."

"This Princess Ankang is born with supernatural power!"

Duke of Chen, Hou Zhongguo, exclaimed.

Hou Zhongguo is also one of the dukes who often stay in the capital. He is an ordinary-looking uncle with a body that is neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin.

Except for the gorgeous armor, there is really nothing special about him.

Compared with the other four dukes who have their own characteristics, Hou Zhongguo looks the most ordinary.

And the Hou family is also like the mediocre appearance of the head of the family. The strength has always been in the middle position and the sense of existence is average.

Hou Zhongguo's exclamation also attracted the approval of others, but Zhao Dinghai's face was not very good.

Zhao Hongmei on the field is the leader of the younger generation of their Zhao family. Now she has the strength of the peak of the sixth rank. After this front-line training, there is a high probability that she will break through to the fifth rank.

But Zhao Hongmei, who has such strength, was knocked away by Princess Ankang, which made Zhao Dinghai's face a little embarrassed.

These dukes have good eyesight, so they can naturally see that Zhao Hongmei did not hold back just now, which further proves how objective Hou Zhongguo's evaluation of "divine power" is.

Zhao Dinghai twisted his beard, calmed down, and then said:

"I heard that Princess Ankang was weak and sick in her early years, and even had the risk of dying young."

"Now it seems that it's all nonsense!"

"I don't know who dared to make up rumors about the royal princess?"

At this time, Guo Xiaolai, the Duke of Wu, said: "Well, what's this?"

"Our old man Su has to "die" two or three times every year."

"The rumors about Princess Ankang are just a small matter."

Duke Jiang Su Dingan is old, and there are rumors that he is dying several times in the capital every year, and there are even some saying that the Su family has already completed the funeral.

Even Su Dingan himself didn't care much about this matter. Even if Guo Xiaolai said so, he just laughed along and didn't take it seriously.

Everyone knows Su Dingan's open-mindedness, so they also laughed.

Zhao Dinghai's words just now showed that he didn't trust His Majesty's intention, so he was interrupted by Guo Xiaolai.

Not all the nobles were optimistic about Emperor Yongyuan.

Zhao Dinghai showed signs of leaning towards others, which made other nobles a little uneasy.

At least now is not the time to discuss this matter. They, the nobles, will do their best to maintain the stability of the Daxing Dynasty and will not become the fuse of the split dynasty.

But such a consensus gradually began to fade among the nobles.

The election of a royal spokesperson this time is also to weaken these unstable influences.

Zhao Dinghai just smiled and didn't say anything more.

But at this time, Qin Zongyong brought the topic back to Princess Ankang.

"As far as I know, it is true that Princess Ankang has been weak and sick since childhood, but this year she received special treatment from Doctor Xue, which has improved."

Qin Zongyong's words suddenly made the generals fall into silence.

"Humph, it's not good early or late, why is it good at this time?"

"I heard that Doctor Xue found a new treatment method and asked His Majesty to try it on Princess Ankang."

"Not only can she cure a stubborn disease that has lasted for so many years in one year, but she is still so strong and healthy. This Princess Ankang is really gifted. I wonder how she compares to Her Highness Yan Zhao?"

"Duke Tan is really joking!"

Zhao Dinghai and Qin Zongyong were talking back and forth, neither of them was willing to give in.

It was just this topic that made the other dukes frown.

Originally, they came here today to listen to the two of them talking about their grandsons, but the third and eighth princes didn't mention it much, but mentioned other people.

After the Chongyang Banquet, many people speculated that Princess Ankang was a hidden chess piece arranged by Emperor Yongyuan, and now because the situation is so tense that she has to be used.

At the moment, Zhao Dinghai and Qin Zongyong are arguing about Princess Ankang and Princess Yan Zhao. Aren't they just standing on the side of Emperor Yongyuan and the Wu family?

Seeing that today's Cuju match was getting more and more off topic, Su Dingan said, relying on his seniority:

"Oh, everyone should concentrate on watching the game, and you are just talking nonsense."

"Old Su is right!"

The other two dukes quickly responded, straightened their sitting postures, and watched the game seriously.

Zhao Dinghai and Qin Zongyong could only stop there.

But Zhao Dinghai couldn't figure out Qin Zongyong's intentions, which made him more and more uneasy.

"What does he mean?"

Before Zhao Dinghai could continue to think, cheers like a tsunami broke out on the field.

"Ankang, Ankang, Ankang..."

When several dukes looked over, they saw Princess Ankang being held high up, accepting everyone's cheers for her. Her little face was as excited as a freshly picked red apple, and it was stained with a little dust, which made her youthful vitality even more evident.

Princess Ankang completed the feat of breaking through the entire field alone and successfully scored a goal to tie the score.

The eldest prince, the third prince and others were full of disbelief.

Jiang Ying and several female generals held up Princess Ankang's two feet and lifted her up high for everyone to admire.

Princess Ankang had long been carried away by the atmosphere on the court. She raised her fists excitedly and imitated Li Xuan's roar, making cute "Awoo Awoo" sounds.

Li Xuan was amused by Princess Ankang and immediately used the skills of Dragon Tiger Wind Howl and Ghost Crying God Howl to boost Princess Ankang's momentum.

"Awoo——"

"Awoo——"

"Awoo——"

Li Xuan's voice gradually overwhelmed the cheers of the crowd and made everyone feel a surge of blood.

Ghost Crying God Howl has the ability to drive emotions. With Li Xuan's current mood, it is easy to add this simple emotion. The difficulty lies in affecting so many people on the scene.

But Li Xuan didn't shout for a few times, and people on the field gradually echoed him.

Originally, Princess Ankang's battle cry made everyone feel cute and interesting, and it had nothing to do with momentum.

But suddenly, Princess Ankang's battle cry was like a tiger coming down from the mountain, making people feel full of fighting spirit, and immediately ignited the emotions of the soldiers.

Emotions spread as fast as thunder.

Soon, there was only a uniform "Awoo" battle cry on the field, resounding throughout the entire advance army camp.

But the soldiers' battle cry was shorter, and the steady rhythm was as exciting as a war drum.

Li Xuan looked at Princess Ankang surrounded by soldiers in the center, and grinned happily in Yu'er's arms.

The five dukes on the stage stared at Li Xuan in unison, unable to hide their shock.

Duke Hu Qin Zongyong clenched his fists silently, took a deep breath and asked everyone:

"I wonder what you think of this Princess Ankang?"

The other four dukes turned their heads to look at Qin Zongyong blankly, wondering if they had heard it wrong.

Qin Zongyong's words were shocking, but he didn't stop there. He continued to point at Princess Ankang and Li Xuan and said:

"Your Highness Princess has such a auspicious beast following her. She really has some of the style of the legendary twin saints who were helped by the red dragon!"

"Qin Zongyong, are you crazy!?"

Zhao Dinghai smashed the chair he was sitting on and stood up in anger.

However, Zhao Dinghai's movements were covered by the roar of the mountains and seas, and except for the people on the stage, not many people noticed it.

"Hey, why are the dukes quarreling?"

Li Xuan, who was laughing happily, caught the movement on the stage and looked over curiously.
