Chapter 50: There is a traitor in the Cuju competition!

Late at night, in the dense forest on the back mountain of Longchang Academy, the moonlight sprinkled dappled on the bluestone.

Behind the rockery, two dark shadows were talking in low voices, their voices were extremely low, as if they were afraid to disturb the tranquility of the night.

"How's the progress?" The man's deep voice was particularly clear in the silence, with a hint of urgency in his tone.

"I could never get close to the top floor of Wanjuan Tower. Ouyang Ye's defenses were too tight." The female voice answered, with a hint of helplessness and frustration in her voice.

The man rebuked dissatisfiedly: "We don't have much time. The leader didn't send us here to travel."

"Speaking of sightseeing, it seems that you are more interested in it, right? I have never forgotten my mission."

"Alright, alright, I won't talk to you about this. Let me handle the things outside the academy, and you continue to think of ways to sneak in.

If someone gets in the way, you know what to do.”

The two men whispered a few more words, and suddenly, a bluish-white corner of clothes flashed from the other side of the rockery.

"who!?"

The two of them quickly chased after him, only to see a figure running away in a panic.

"Didn't you say this place is safe and no one would come here?!" the man asked, obviously angry.

He didn't even see what the man looked like. If the conversation just now was leaked...

"I know her." The woman's voice suddenly turned cold, "Leave it to me."

The man snorted coldly, raised his hand to put on his black hood, leaped up, and climbed over the wall of the academy.

His figure was exposed in the moonlight, and an extremely straight hooked nose was revealed in the shadow of the hood.

…

When the day of the competition arrived at Longchang Academy, the students, who had been preparing for a long time, were all in high spirits.

In order to eat Yuxiang Pavilion's ice plum cheese without queuing, they all fought hard this time.

The three events of Cuju, Chicken Fighting and Hundred Rope Jumping were held in order.

First came Cuju.

The ball used for Daliang Cuju is solid, wrapped with twelve pieces of leather that are tightly stitched together with no visible threads or corners.

The weight of the ball should be "exactly 14 taels" and the size of the ball should be "very round".

There are twelve people in a team. There are two goals on the left and right sides of the Cuju field. The rules are similar to modern football. The first player to kick the ball into the opponent's goal gets one point.

Liang Zhou, Zhou Da, Xu Shiming and Gu Chaoyang were in the same team, along with eight teammates they had found.

Xiang Wenyuan signed up for both Cuju and Baisuo Jumping, and was now in the team opposite Liang Zhou and his team.

In the same team with Xiang Wenyuan was Chen Ziming, who won second place in the poetry competition that day.

There were many female students gathered outside the Cuju field, some of whom were blushing as they talked about the contestants.

"Look, that's Senior Brother Ziming!"

"Wow, Senior Brother Ziming is not only good at studying, but I didn't expect he can also play Cuju!"

"Ahhh, he seems to be looking towards me!"

"Don't you think Senior Brother Liang Zhou is also very handsome?"

“Tsk, Senior Brother Liang Zhou looks like a spoiled kid, I don’t think he can handle such an intense competition.

I prefer the senior brother Gu next to him, he looks very heroic and extraordinary at first glance! "

"Senior Brother Ziming will definitely win! As long as you support Senior Brother Ziming, we will be good friends!"

"Humph, Senior Brother Gu will definitely win!"

The Cuju game began. The two teams on the field were wearing clothes of different colors and the players were running quickly on the field.

The students who were watching the game also started to cheer for their favorite teams, and the place was bustling with noise for a while.

Zhu Lan and others naturally came to watch the battle.

Someone on the field caught the ball and passed it to Xiang Wenyuan.

Xiang Wenyuan ran over and raised his foot to catch the ball, when suddenly a lightning-fast figure flashed past his eyes.

The opponent, Gu Chaoyang, intercepted the ball with his chest, then made a feint and passed the ball directly to Liang Zhou!

Xiang Wenyuan fell hard and almost landed on his face.

Qiao Youyou held onto the fence of the Cuju field, laughing so hard that she couldn't straighten her back.

"Hahahaha - with this level of skill, you dare to sign up for both Cuju and rope skipping at the same time!

How many dishes are there? They just floated away like that?"

Generally speaking, each person can only sign up for one sport.

Especially for a game like Cuju that consumes a lot of physical energy, it is difficult for ordinary people to finish a game and still have enough energy to participate in the next game.

Xiang Wenyuan chose to sign up for both Cuju and Baisuo Jumping.

I also heard that he was often absent from the Cuju team's practice, and spent most of his time practicing skipping the hundred-rope dance.

Because Zhu Qingyan was there too.

Qiao Youyou continued to mock mercilessly: "I heard before that he didn't even practice Cuju, so I thought he was some hidden master.

That’s it? That’s it? It really makes me laugh to death!”

While Qiao Youyou was saying these words, Xiang Wenyuan tripped over his left foot and fell several times in succession.

Even though he made a lot of mistakes, for some reason, the people on his team kept passing the ball to him.

At this time, the ball was at Chen Ziming's feet. After receiving the ball, Chen Ziming glanced at Xiang Wenyuan.

When Xiang Wenyuan saw Zhu Qingyan looking over here, he immediately became excited and waved to Chen Ziming, asking him to pass the ball over.

Chen Ziming looked at the opponent's goal not far away, and then looked at Xiang Wenyuan, who was both inexperienced and playful.

In the end, he chose to ignore him and kicked the ball towards Liang Zhou's goal.

Liang Zhou and his team had already discovered the opponent's team's trick. Xiang Wenyuan used money or threats to make the players keep passing the ball to him.

Therefore, Liang Zhou and others unanimously chose Xiang Wenyuan as the main target of interception.

The main reason is that his ball is so easy to steal.

Don’t miss the opportunity that is given to you for free.

But Chen Ziming's kick caught them off guard, and they were distracted, allowing the other team to score a point!

Chen Ziming's kick was really cool, and countless girls screamed immediately.

Even Zhu Qingyan couldn't help but shout out: "Brother Ziming, well done!"

Chen Ziming smiled at Zhu Qingyan from afar, when he was suddenly knocked down by someone, who turned out to be Xiang Wenyuan from the same team.

Xiang Wenyuan glared at him unhappily and as a warning.

Although Chen Ziming scored one point, the score gap was too big due to Xiang Wenyuan's mistake before.

If the game continues in this situation, Xiang Wenyuan's team will definitely lose.

There were only two quarters of an hour left, so everyone took a short break.

Xiang Wenyuan called away three boys from Liang Zhou's team, and they did not come back until the second half of the game started.

One of Liang Zhou's teammates was going to pass the ball to Gu Chaoyang, but made a "mistake" and kicked it to Xiang Wenyuan.

Xiang Wenyuan used his not-so-great football skills to pass the ball to his nearby teammates. The player on Liang Zhou's side who was responsible for intercepting the ball seemed to be a beat slow and failed to block the ball.

Xiang Wenyuan's teammate received the ball and kicked it into Liang Zhou's goal!

Xiang Wenyuan had a triumphant smile on his face, and Liang Zhou, Gu Chaoyang and others immediately understood what was going on.

This guy actually bribed even the players on their side!
