An Xin saw Ye Yanci from Dongli Kingdom and Xi Munan from Nanzhao come out after drawing the lots. They were the kind of team that could calmly accept whatever lot they drew.

Because both countries sent a team to participate in the Cuju competition, except for the byes, the other teams were almost the same.

An Xin glanced at the first team in Bei Ming and saw that the lot they drew was two.

Then another team from their country also walked over and took out a cigarette. The leaders of the two teams looked at each other, their faces as black as coal.

Needless to say, we got one of our own.

Fu Shiliang, the leader of the Bei Ming team, who had a fight with An Xin's team because they looked down on and laughed at the fact that there was a woman in An Xin's team, looked at An Xin and his team with malicious eyes.

I secretly cursed them for also drawing a team from their own country.

Of the twenty-one teams, nineteen lots have been drawn, and the by-lots without numbers written on them have not been drawn.

At this time, everyone's eyes were on An Xin and Xiao Wenrou on the field, thinking that the two women who had just drawn lots were embarrassed to squeeze with a group of men, so they ended up at the end.

However, when they learned that they were all from Daqian, they were curious why Daqian sent two women as team leaders this time.

But this is not what they should care about. At this time, they just want to see who will have better luck, draw a bye, and advance directly to the next round.

"You draw first." In order to show her humility and politeness in front of everyone, Xiao Wenrou asked An Xin to draw first.

An Xin had no intention of performing truth, goodness and beauty for everyone to see. He strode over without any pretense, took out a cigarette, handed it to the palace servant and read it out.

"Captain An's lottery ticket has no words on it, so it's a bye." He then held up the lottery ticket to show everyone, to demonstrate fairness.

Xi Munan and Ye Yanci, who were standing together, said, "Sure enough, there is no number on the sign that corresponds to his team. It's a bye."

Seeing that his teacher actually got a bye, Shan Yongzhen started to become superstitious. He stuck his butt out and bowed to the surroundings. It was eye-catching to everyone.

"That's enough." Feng Yuxiu couldn't bear to watch it any longer and hissed, "That's enough. Stop disturbing the rest of the masters."

Xiao Wenrou looked at the bye that An Xin drew and felt extremely regretful. If she had known earlier, she would not have pretended to be generous.

Who would want to go through the hardship of competing with other teams if they can advance to the next round?

Xiao Wenrou gritted her teeth, forced a smile, walked over and drew the last lot in the bamboo tube, which corresponded to a team called Dian.

Fortunately, she was drawn to play against a team from a small country. Xiao Wenrou thought that with the modern football techniques she had practiced with her team, they would definitely win the game easily.

After all the lots were drawn, the teams from each country were paired up.

Because the monarch of Nanyu really liked watching Cuju games, two Cuju fields were built here.

There are two games in the morning and two games in the afternoon every day, and four teams can complete the competition in one day.

In this way, except for An Xin and his team who had a bye, the twenty teams would finish the competition in just five days.

The ten winning teams will enter the next round of draw, and because of the two-on-two competition, there will be one extra team.

In the next few days, An Xin picked a few teams that interested him and went to watch their games.

On this day it was the turn of their Daqian Kingdom's neighbor Dongli Kingdom and the Western Jin Kingdom, which was affiliated with the Beiming Kingdom, to compete. As international friendly neighbors, An Xin felt that he had to bring a group of cheerleaders to show his support.

So this scene appeared in the stands.

The team led by the soldier Ye Yanci is very fierce. Regardless of whether their Cuju skills are good or not, their attitude towards bumping into people is serious.

The Western Jin Dynasty was not a good group either. They pulled people's clothes, tripped people up, and turned a deaf ear to the four or five referees shouting fouls on the field.

After a game, the arrogant team met the cheating team, and in the end, with the referee's favor, the arrogant team won.

It was the Western Jin Dynasty's team that annoyed the referee on the field.

This game also made An Xin realize that there were no rules in the ancient Cuju game, and it was all based on the strength of the body.

Apart from not being able to grab people with your hands, which will cause the referee on the field to call a foul, it seems that no referee will care as long as you don't do anything else that is too excessive.

After watching each game, Xiao Wenrou was stunned.

"!!?" What's going on? There's no technical content at all.

She had been practicing football skills and tactics for a long time, but it seemed that they were not the key to winning the game of Cuju here.

In this dynasty, the game of Cuju relied on brute force to push the opponent away, make a path, and then kick the ball into the opponent's goal to score.

The Cuju game here broadened the horizons of these two people with modern souls.

But no matter what, Xiao Wenrou originally chose those rich young men who were among the best at playing Cuju in the Daqian Imperial City.

In a match between them and the Yunnan team, they finally won.

An Xin also went to watch that game. Xiao Wenrou led the team on the field. At the beginning, she was able to cooperate with her players skillfully and move the ball forward.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

However, she was intercepted by the opposing player and used his strong body. After bumping into him several times without any care, she saw someone rushing towards her and was so scared that she dropped the ball and dodged.

There were many scenes like this, which made Si Han and Xiao Wenjin so angry that they almost started cursing without caring about their image.

It's okay if you say you don't dare to collide with others, then just don't control the ball and want to show how heroic you are when you kick the ball into the goal.

Have you ever thought about how embarrassed you were when you dropped the ball? Fortunately, the Dian people are not good at playing Cuju, otherwise Xiao Wenrou wanted to perform but was afraid of being hit, and it would be uncertain who would win or lose in this game.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

Ten teams stood out from the twenty teams.

The Beiming Kingdom can congratulate themselves for successfully killing their own team.

Every time I see An Xin and his group of people who were left out, I feel so angry.

After the first round of competition, the presiding official announced a one-day break and the draw would be held the next day.

The ten winning teams all looked at An Xin and his team at the same time, thinking of letting them go first in the next round of drawing lots.

There were eleven lots, and it couldn't be such a coincidence that she drew the bye lot this time.

In this way, will their team have a chance to draw a bye?

An Xin said as long as you are happy.

It’s not that An Xin looks down on them, it’s just that most of these people’s good luck has been absorbed by Xiao Wenrou. It would be strange if they could draw a bye to advance without having to play.

After a day's rest, there is a new round of blind draws the next day, which depends entirely on luck.

Originally, everyone wanted to let An Xin draw the lot first. I don’t know what those idiots and brain-sick guys in Bei Ming are doing.

An Xin was forced to the last place, but those teams couldn't make it too obvious, so he had to draw first.

In the end, An Xin and Xiao Wenrou were left behind again.

This time, Xiao Wenrou did not pretend to be virtuous and generous. She walked over first and grabbed a stick.

Maybe because she felt uneasy, she let go of the lot. As everyone waited with bated breath, she drew another lot.
