The storm is coming and the wind fills the building...

After experiencing a series of events, the situation in Bianliang City suddenly calmed down strangely.

When Zhao Yu met with Zhao Huan and Zhao Kai again, he looked friendly and kind, and had a harmonious situation, as if nothing had happened.

In addition, whether it was Lu Shinang from the Ming Cult, Zhang Shun from the Jiangnan Cao Gang, they all seemed to have disappeared out of thin air and never appeared in the capital again.

After the strange stone became fresh, it was quickly forgotten by people. What people are most concerned about now is undoubtedly the World Football League, which is getting closer and closer.

With the intentional spread of Zhao Yu and Li Yan, all the prefectures received news and sent football teams to participate.

Everyone knows that the football match was secretly manipulated by His Highness Yi and General Manager Li, so the states sent teams to come not only for the game, but also for some political purpose.

Because the football match changed the original game style of Cuju, the first thing that each team started after arriving in Beijing was to various adaptation training.

For a time, all the inns in the capital were full, and the slightly spacious places were also fenced up as temporary training places.

Zhao Yu knew that this was the charm of football. Unfortunately, the grandeur and fine traditions of the ancestors were completely discarded by the unfilial descendants of later generations.

Because the date of the game was getting closer, Lu Junyi finally chose to stay, but he had long felt that His Highness Yi was going for Yan Qing, so when Zhao Yu asked them to stay and help him, he directly gave Yan Qing to Zhao Yu.

Lu Junyi's actions were undoubtedly very wise, because this not only made him generous, but also made him more powerful and beneficial to the prince of the current dynasty with a wealthy family like him.

Who says that a hero does not have the intention to curry favor with the powerful? It’s just that those who are interested do it clearly, while some people hide it better.

Yan Qing was a little unhappy at first. Lu Junyi was half of his master. Although he was already out of the blue now, he was sold into the Lu Mansion since he was a child. In his heart, he had long regarded the Lu Mansion as his own. Now he was suddenly given to the prince by his master, and he was really unable to adapt for a while.

However, everything has a process. Zhao Yu always treats Yan Qing as a brother, calling Brother Yi one by one. Gradually, Yan Qing's psychological balance began to lean towards Zhao Yu.

As the game approaches, the outer hall controlled by Zhao Yu also begins to accept bets.

It is human nature to be gambled. During this period, Zhao Yu's subordinates gradually controlled almost all the casinos in Bianliang in a nearly obvious way, and even those casinos with powerful backers behind them were on the verge of being squeezed out.

Now everyone on the Bianliang Road knows that they would rather offend the government than offend Brother Xu. Without the protection of the Flying Eagle Banner, they would basically not think about anything.

Time flies very quickly, and it is September 15th in a blink of an eye.

Early in the morning, there were already crowds outside the stadium. Although there were many people, there were Kaifeng Prefecture staff and Zhao Yu's subordinates to maintain order, and the audience entering the venue was in order.

The gates and surroundings of the stadium were also covered with red and green to show their festive celebrations. The drum band and firecrackers were ready, just waiting for the start of the competition.

Don’t think that watching football is free, the viewing angles are different, and the entrance fee ranges from ten cents to consistently.

In addition, food and beverages are not allowed in the stadium, because there are some items sold inside, as well as hand-paws, jersey banners, etc. Anyway, as long as you can make money, Zhao Yu is almost unlucky.

Now Zhao Yu feels like he is racing against time, so he must seize every opportunity to make money.

The first game was the most important, with the team composed of palace guards and the team sent by the imperial guards in the capital kicking off.

Because these two teams are recognized as strong teams, they must also make a good start.

In order to create momentum, Zhao Yu and Li Yan invited Emperor Huizong and a number of high-ranking officials to watch the game. Because it was a holiday, many officials who had not received the invitation also brought their families to watch the game.

Emperor Huizong is a typical example of being unemployed and also likes lively. However, this is the first time I have seen such a scene. I was so excited when I saw the ants-like audience in the surrounding audience.

Today, Emperor Huizong did not wear formal clothes, but his clothes were covered by nobles. He came to the stadium like stars holding the moon.

How could Li Yan, Liang Shicheng and others miss such a good opportunity?

What kind of wise rulers in prosperous times, peace in the world, are they so flattering, and they slapped them one by one, and Emperor Huizong was a little dizzy.

But today he was not here to listen to people's praises. He just sat down for a while and couldn't wait to call Zhao Yu over.

"Why haven't it started yet?"

"Return to Father, there will be a prosperous era when there is a wise king. Today, the first day of the competition will start, and the father will personally order it. Only in this way can the competition be blessed with a smooth and prosperous future."

This flattery was not revealed, nor was shameless, and he immediately compared the ministers who had been flattering with gorgeous rhetoric.

Emperor Huizong was indeed very happy and nodded, "Then let's start!"

"My son obeys the order!"

Zhao Yu bowed and saluted, then turned around and made a gesture to Liu Heizi who was waiting on the sidelines.

After Liu Heizi received the instructions, he turned around and waved his hand. Then the gongs and drums were roaring, and the cheers of the audience around him were also rising and rising.

After the drums and firecrackers, the competition officially began with a whistle.

This kind of confrontational game mainly focuses on offense and cooperation. There are twelve players in each team, and there is no need for goalkeepers. The goal is a basketball board with a height of more than meter, with a round hole slightly larger than a football. Such a goal has an extraordinary high requirement for players and can better reflect the player's level.

The game time is one hour, with two incense sticks left and the final winner is to win the goal.

The Palace Guards wore moon white jerseys, and the Imperial Forces wore red jerseys.

The coach of the Palace Guards was the coach of the imperial Cuju of Emperor Huizong. He had excellent skills and was also led by him personally to participate.

The strength of the imperial guards' team should not be underestimated, because their head coach is Gao Qiu. This guy is not very good at being an official, and he is indeed good at playing football. Due to his identity and age, although he cannot get out of the field in person, the team he has produced has no doubt about his skills.

The players all knew that the Emperor and Taiwei Gao were on the school reading stand. In order to compete for their boss's face, the two sides quickly entered the state at the beginning of the game. The red and white jerseys were on the court, echoing each other, which looked very beautiful.

The applause and cheers of the audience in the stands were also rising and falling.

Although Emperor Huizong and ministers on the escort stage had seen Cuju competitions, they never thought that such competition would bring such great fun. After a brief moment of surprise, they also began to cheer for their favorite teams.

Among all, Zhao Yu is the most sober, because he knows that with Gao Qiu's shrewdness, this is destined to be a fair game, but what does it have to do with him? As long as you have money to make money, it's fine.
