Chapter 97: Using the Few to Bully the Many (asking for monthly ticket)
The tone of the "young man" was extremely calm, and what he said was not a request for discussion, but an announcement.
He announced that he would replace Qiao Yubai, who played as a forward.
Out of a spirit of cooperation, the "boy" gave a simple explanation: "Time is running out, and there is no time to reorganize the formation. This is the last quarter, you just need to hold your positions and continue the previous play style. Each of you ensure your own safety, and leave the rest to me."
This tone of voice stunned Cui Lang and the other two. The young man surnamed Hu widened his eyes and said, "But...but why haven't I seen you before?"
It was noisy all around and no one could hear their conversation.
"You are not from our school, are you?" the young man surnamed Hu asked quickly, "Where are our people?"
"From now on, I am yours—" Chang Suining gave them a look that said "keep quiet" and took Qiao Yubai's staff: "Follow me, and win this match first."
Looking at the back of the man who had turned and walked towards the horse, Cui Lang opened his mouth: "Yes, how can it be Chang..."
Xi Zhiyuan asked in a low voice: "Does Cui Liulang recognize this person?"
Cui Lang nodded with a changing expression: "I recognize you!"
He didn't recognize it at first glance, he just thought the boy was good-looking and familiar, until the other party spoke a few words, he recognized that it was the Chang family's wife! But how could the Chang family's wife play for their people... Isn't this reckless? He himself was reckless enough on weekdays, so he was very tolerant of reckless things, but at this moment he still felt that the Chang family's wife's behavior was very reckless!
The young man surnamed Hu asked hurriedly: "Is this man good at fighting?"
The tone sounds strange.
But they are all substitutes anyway. Since Cui Liulang recognizes them, it’s fine as long as they play well!
Cui Lang was stumped for a moment.
Did you fight well?
He didn't know much about playing football, but he was undoubtedly very good at hitting people...
First it was Yingguogong's son Mingjin, and then it was his eldest brother! So he answered truthfully: "I only know that she is good at beating people..."
"?" The young man surnamed Hu had a complicated expression on his face: "But this is Jiju."
"How can this be called playing football?" Xi Zhiyuan followed them and glanced in the direction of Chang Miao and the others: "Aren't they always beating people up?"
Cui Lang agreed when he heard this. Seeing that Chang Miao and the other three had already mounted their horses, he didn't care about much else for the moment: "Let's go, let's go. We'll try our best to save the situation!"
The most important thing is that he really lacks the courage to expose the other party... Madam Chang dared to beat up her elder brother, so how could she beat him? "Okay..." The young man surnamed Hu had no choice but to nod and follow.
In this last quarter, I was prepared to lose anyway.
Chang Suining has already jumped onto the horse.
Under the awning, Wei Shuyi, who had switched seats with others and sat next to Cui Jing, leaned slightly closer to Cui Jing, smiled and waved his folding fan, saying: "It seems that General Cui will lose the bet this time."
Cui Jing had said before that the blue team would win, so he casually suggested making a bet, and he bet on the yellow team.
"I never agreed to bet with you." Cui Jing looked at the two teams of students who were already ready on the field and said, "Besides, the blue team may not lose."
His eyes swept across the crowd, finally landing on the figure leading the blue team.
The afternoon sun was glaring, and the slightly thin "young man" sitting on the horse made it difficult to see his face clearly, but just the back of his head with a ponytail was enough for Cui Jing to recognize who he was.
Wei Shuyi casually followed his gaze, but the next moment he narrowed his eyes and stared for a moment, his eyes showing surprise: "That is..."
Cui Jing: "Substitute."
Wei Shuyi was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing: "Where did you find this substitute? It's really unexpected."
Yuan Xiang, who was standing next to Cui Jing, didn't see the man's appearance clearly. He was a little worried at the moment: "He looks thin and weak, maybe he can't stand a fight."
Thinking of the terrible experience he had in the water that day, Cui Jing looked at Chang Miao and nodded.
On the field, neither side moved. After a moment of hesitation, Chang Miao's team started laughing.
"Is this the guy who was so scared that he almost peed his pants?"
"...Letting a substitute play the forward position, isn't that crazy?"
"How can you talk like that? This is just a broken jar!"
Several people burst into laughter.
Chang Miao looked at the thin young man in the lead and said jokingly, "Newcomer, since you have the courage to take the vanguard position, why don't you show us your skills?"
Chang Suining sat upright on his horse and nodded calmly, "Okay, come on."
This reaction was beyond Chang Miao's expectations, and a sneer flashed in his eyes when he heard it.
Here comes someone who is so ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth.
If he really has extraordinary abilities, why would he be a substitute? He waved to the three people behind him and said, "Okay, stop talking nonsense and get down to business!"
He wants to show this newcomer some color first!
As the drums sounded, the hollowed-out painted beads were thrown high into the air, shining brightly in the afternoon sunlight.
Everyone urged their horses, raising dust, and ran off with clubs to grab the ball.
Under the awning on the women's side, there were a few empty seats closest to the front.
Qiao Yubai went to the medical clinic, Wang followed him, and Qiao Yumian also went.
Duan Shi had not seen Chang Suining, so she just thought that she had gone with them. She looked at the four people from Team Yellow and felt more and more annoyed. She frowned and shook her head and said, "These young students have lost their dignity in order to win."
This behavior is not only bad, it is also incredibly stupid.
If you use such despicable means again and again in front of everyone, it won’t be glorious even if you win.
Seeing that Mrs. Chang's face was filled with pride and could no longer be concealed, Duan sneered in her heart - the second wife raised by a small family to the Chang family had a vision as narrow as a sesame seed.
In fact, the Chang family itself has no background to speak of.
It's just that a daughter of the Chang family married into the Ming family, and the Ming family sent a daughter to the palace many years ago and was named a talented person. Later, that talented person gradually became the Queen of Ming, and finally became the current saint -
Therefore, as the maiden family of Lady Chang, the wife of Duke Ying, the Chang family also rose in status.
As the small, broken boat became taller, the insignificant people on board began to lose track of their own weight.
The reason why the saint attached great importance to the Guozijian match was, after all, to test the qualifications of the students, not to let them mess around and hurt others.
Do you really think that if you win the football match, you will be praised and recognized by the saints and win face for yourself? Winning also depends on how you win.
If these stupid and bad guys really win this time, the one who will feel the most unlucky, apart from the students of the blue team, should be Your Highness -
Duan looked at the long box placed in front of Ming Luo and couldn't help but sigh: "If His Highness is still alive, I'm afraid he would rather break this cane with his own hands, burn it, and throw it into the cesspool..."
As soon as she finished speaking, a hand grabbed her arm and shook it twice.
Duan turned and looked at her daughter beside her.
"Mother, something doesn't seem right..." Wei Miaoqing murmured.
Duan: "What's wrong?"
"Mother... look at that substitute..." Wei Miaoqing trembled and pointed a finger at the field: "Does he look familiar?"
Today, she should be the person who cares most about Chang Suining in the world——
While others were busy with the competition, she was staring at Chang Suining.
While others were concerned about the injury of the young master of the Qiao family, she was staring at Chang Suining.
Therefore, from the moment Chang Suining left his seat to help Qiao Yubai straighten his bones and then left the arena, his every move was watched closely by her!
But she still couldn't believe the fact that Chang Suining replaced the blue team student.
The people in the yellow team were no different from mad dogs chasing and biting people. Even the seven-foot-tall men couldn't handle them, so why was she, a little girl, running there? Wasn't she afraid of getting beaten?
What should I do if my face is injured? Wei Miaoqing looked at the girl on the field with great nervousness - someone was so ignorant of the kindness of the Goddess Nuwa! Recognizing that the substitute on the field was Chang Suining, and Chang Miao had already ridden his horse towards her, Duan couldn't help but exclaimed: "Oh my God!"
His hand trembled, and with a "pop" sound, the teacup in Duan's hand fell and shattered.
The women in the family didn't bother to pay attention to the broken teacup.
Cui Lang on the field anxiously reminded: "Get out of the way!"
The next moment, the two horses collided and neighed.
After hitting the opponent, Chang Miao raised his club and chased the ball without stopping for a moment, with only a hint of a triumphant smile on his face.
The young man surnamed Hu was anxious and helpless: "He must be stupid, why didn't he hide?"
He just stood there stupidly waiting for someone to bump into him!
Fortunately, nothing serious happened! Seeing that Chang Suining's horse was knocked back a few steps, but he was fine, Cui Lang breathed a sigh of relief and rode over to Chang Suining and said urgently: "Let me lead the way!"
Next time she bumps into him, she may not be so lucky! Chang Suining, who never relied on luck, tightened the reins and did not turn to look at him: "What kind of vanguard are you playing——"
Cui Lang: “?”
What are you talking about!
"I was just testing whether it would hurt someone if his horse hit him." After Chang Suining finished speaking, he squeezed the horse's belly, picked up the ball stick in his hand, and galloped forward.
Cui Lang: “?!”
Of course it hurts when a horse hits someone, so what's the point of trying it!
Xi Zhiyuan, who also heard this, showed an indescribable look - is this unknown substitute really okay? On the other side, the young man named Hu who was guarding the goal suddenly exclaimed: "What is he going to do!"
Cui Lang and the other man looked over and saw Chang Suining riding his horse towards Chang Miao and snatching the ball away single-handedly!
Seeing this scene, Duan was immediately frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.
Chang Miao was about to score a goal when he suddenly felt a strong wind coming from behind him. Before he could react, he was knocked to the side by a sudden force, and both he and his horse almost fell over! Chang Suining swung the club with one hand and hit the ball.
"call out--"
The ball, which seemed to have no direction carefully located, flew through the air at an extremely fast speed and into the goal faster than anyone could see.
"The blue team gets a flag!"
The referee's voice made everyone come back to their senses slowly - the substitute's collision and stealing of the ball and then scoring the goal only took a split second! There was no time for people to think and react on the field.
"...I think he is really brave!" Chang Miao, who had just been bumped into, was furious. Just as he calmed down, he saw that the colorful ball that had just been thrown into the air was snatched away by the substitute boy before it even reached the hands of another person.
The ball had been hit away by the opponent, and then was infinitely magnified in his pupils and quickly approached.
“Bang!”
The ball came straight at him and hit his right shoulder hard. The huge impact force made him scream in pain and his body leaned back uncontrollably.
"Changjilangjun!"
“Miao’er!” Mrs. Chang, one of the female relatives, was so frightened that her face turned pale. She stood up and said in a trembling voice, “How can you play ball like this!”
Mrs. Lu looked at her in surprise - how strange it was, how come she suddenly learned to speak?
"Your son played like this in the last game. I've already said it's not a foul. It's just a bump between kids. Madam, there's no need to make a fuss." The speaker was the stepmother of the young man surnamed Hu. She had always been on good terms with the wife of the chief priest, Wang.
Mrs. Chang's expression changed when she heard this. Seeing her husband in the opposite shed looking at her with a frown, she had no choice but to sit back.
After that, she dared not take her eyes off her son for even a moment.
But it's better to leave -
"The blue team got two flags!"
As another colorful flag was inserted above the blue team's goal, Cui Lang and his team finally realized the reality - their "substitution" was not based on luck! For a moment, their morale was greatly boosted.
Cui Lang hit the ball in the direction of Chang Suining: "...Go ahead!"
Chang Suining swings——
“Bang!”
The ball hit Chang Miao hard in the chest, causing him to scream.
Among the female family members, Mrs. Chang also screamed and trembled.
Cui Lang swallowed in amazement.
He finally understood...
One ball for the goal, one ball for Chang Miao!
Mrs. Chang treated Chang Miao and the goal very equally! —— Who else could have received this blessing but Chang Miao! As Chang Miao suffered a setback, the four members of the yellow team were shocked and angry. Seeing that the blue team had scored two goals while they had not yet scored, they began to attack the unexpected substitute boy at Chang Miao's beating and signal.
Cui Lang and his men hurried forward, cursing, "What kind of skill is it to use your numbers to bully the few?"
etc……
Looking at the student from the yellow team who was knocked off the horse, Cui Lang pulled the reins of his horse.
"thump!"
The young man fell in front of Cui Langma, grimacing in pain.
The next moment, another person fell to the ground from his horse, holding his bleeding nose.
Cui Lang stared at the scene in a daze.
It is common to see the majority bullying the minority...
This was the first time he had seen a minority bullying a majority.
When Chang Suining swept the ball with the staff in his hand, he also "incidentally" knocked down another student from the yellow team.
The folk rumors are true, the former crown prince loved playing cuckoo.
But what she liked most was not playing qiu with her father, the emperor, but playing qiu with the soldiers in the military camp.
The purpose of playing Ju in military camps is to enhance the coordination and understanding among soldiers, making it easier for them to fight side by side.
But this is not a military camp.
She alone is enough to beat up a few children who are not presentable.
Seeing Chang Miao driving his horse towards her with red eyes, Chang Suining took the time to look at the water clock and frowned quickly.
"..." Cui Jing inexplicably sensed a trace of regret between her brows, as if she was saying - how annoying, she could only beat him for half a minute, there wasn't much time left.
"Yuan Xiang..." Wei Shuyi turned his head to Yuan Xiang and said, "You really got it right. You really can't stand a beating."
Yuan Xiang: “……!”
Cui Jing looked at the girl on horseback swinging her stick.
The fighting methods used on the battlefield, if applied to the football field, would be like a giant bullying a young child - naturally the child cannot withstand a beating.
If Chang Miao and his men’s fighting style was ferocious, then hers was brutal.
If you are not careful, someone may die.
But she was always careful.
Even the location where the ball landed on Chang Miao was very accurate every time.
But Chang Miao obviously didn't realize this, and he didn't know whether to live or die.
On the court, Chang Miao, feeling greatly humiliated, gnashed his teeth and approached Chang Suining.
The first day of my determination to update early ended in failure...! I recommend my best sister Thorn Song's book "Song Tan Chronicles" which is a relaxing and joyful book!! Has everyone read it? (How about going to her to collect some monthly tickets and secretly giving them to me?)
