The attention of Jiang Li and the others was all attracted to the people around Wei Lan.
Because it's so, so ugly...
Not only was his entire face black, his hair was also messy, his clothes were covered in large grease stains, and there were several large, hideous moles on his face. His eyebrows were thick and black, and no one knew what was applied on his eyes, which were red and swollen, making him feel physically uncomfortable.
After seeing their reactions, Wei Lan, Zhou Jiyu and others smiled with satisfaction.
"Guess."
Wei Lan looked at them mysteriously.
Si Yao racked her brains but could not figure out when this ugly guy appeared in Kyoto.
Su Luoluo and Yuan Qing looked at each other and shook their heads.
Jiang Lin and Jiang Yi wanted to say something but stopped themselves. Forget it. The more you say, the more mistakes you will make.
Jiang Li's mouth twitched, and she recognized the person in front of her at a glance.
"Ah Heng, who are you trying to scare to death by dressing like this?"
Xiao Heng was delighted. She didn't expect that she could still recognize him even in this state.
"Xiao, Xiao Heng? The ugly... person in front of me is Xiao Heng?"
Si Yao screamed and her eyes almost popped out of her head.
Jiang Yi took a few big steps to Xiao Heng, and looked from head to toe, "Ah Heng, what are you doing?"
"Hasn't Brother Jiang heard? Princess Changning is here to marry. I already have someone I like, so I won't marry anyone else. Look, I'm dressed like this to avoid unnecessary trouble."
"In my life, I will only marry someone I love."
When he said this, his eyes vaguely glanced at Jiang Li in front of him.
A soft light flashed across his red and swollen eyes.
Jiang Yi coughed twice, "Then there's no need for you to look like this, right? The way you're dressed now is simply... hard to describe."
"Second Brother Jiang, you don't know that Brother Xiao is doing this to prevent his sweetheart from misunderstanding. Brother Xiao said that he only loves her in this life and only wants to marry her."
"Brother Xiao's sincerity is truly witnessed by heaven and earth!"
"It's a pity that my sweetheart doesn't know and still..."
Xiao Heng elbowed Zhou Ziyu, who almost let the cat out of the bag, groaned and shut his mouth obediently.
Jiang Yi came forward and immediately started gossiping, "Who is Ah Heng's sweetheart?"
"Ahem, Second Brother Jiang, I'll tell you when the time is right. It's getting late, let's go over there quickly."
When the few people arrived at the Cuju field, all the officials and princes had already arrived. Soon the emperor, empress and several concubines also arrived.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Long live ...
"Everyone, please stand up."
After the emperor sat on the dragon throne, he raised his sleeves and everyone stood up and took their seats. At this time, envoys from the Kingdom of Jialan walked in, led by Princess Changning.
"The envoy of Jialan State Changning meets the Emperor and Empress of Chu."
"Princess and envoy, there is no need to be polite. Come, please take a seat."
The leading envoy bowed and praised the entire Chu State without any expression.
Everyone likes to hear good things about themselves, and the Emperor of Chu is no exception. The messenger's words made the Emperor of Chu very pleased.
"I have long heard that Princess Changning of Jialan is heroic and as brave as any man. Seeing her today, I can see that she is indeed extraordinary. Since the princess likes the customs of our Chu country, I will have someone accompany her to stroll around Kyoto one day. The gates of Chu are always open to the princess. She can come whenever she wants."
Just as the Emperor of Chu said, the Princess of Jialan was heroic and straightforward. She never beat around the bush. Before the envoys proposed that the two countries should have an eternal friendship, she spoke first.
"Thank you, Emperor Chu. Changning has long admired the customs and people of Chu, and also admires the men of Chu. This time I came here to choose a man of Chu as my husband, so that the two countries can become friends. I hope the Emperor of Chu will make it happen!"
“Hahahahahaha!”
Chu Dilang laughed out loud, and the others followed suit.
"Okay! Since the princess is willing to stay in Chu and marry a man from Chu, I will make the decision for her today. Whoever the princess likes, I will arrange a marriage for you two. How about that?"
"Thank you, Emperor Chu!" Princess Changning bowed and continued, "Changning has another request. I want to participate in the Cuju competition with everyone today. I hope the Emperor Chu will agree."
The Chu Emperor waved his hand and said, "Yes!"
After expressing her gratitude, Princess Changning stood up and went into the Cuju field with Jiang Li and the others.
On the table next to it was a bamboo tube filled with bamboo sticks painted in different colors.
Jiang Li and Si Yao took a bamboo stick from the bamboo tube one by one. When Si Yao saw the same color at the bottom, she grabbed Jiang Li's hand in surprise.
"That's great, Ali, we both drew red! I knew we were so close that we would be on the same team!"
Her words floated into the ears of Xiao Heng, who had been leaning over to look at this side. After the people in front had drawn lots one after another, it was soon Xiao Heng and Zhou Ziyu's turn.
Zhou Ziyu took out a bamboo stick from the bamboo tube, the bottom of which was painted red. Xiao Heng took out one right after him, the bottom of which was blue. The two of them quickly switched and turned calmly to go to their own teams.
The two teams stood opposite each other with the Cuju placed between them.
After everyone stood in their positions, the guards struck the gongs and drums, and the people standing in the front immediately rushed to grab the Cuju in front, but it was finally snatched away by Jiang Li.
The Cuju game started and the scene was extremely exciting.
After Jiang Li grabbed the Cuju, she passed it to other teammates, one after another, and finally it reached Xiao Heng. Xiao Heng kicked the Cuju and ran towards the opponent's goal. With the obstruction of Zhou Ziyu and others, he made a feint and then turned around to kick the Cuju into the opponent's goal.
"good!"
The red team scored a point, and the blue team was not to be outdone. They kicked the Cuju towards the red team's goal. When they were about to score, Jiang Li and Xiao Heng looked at each other and cooperated with each other tacitly.
Xiao Heng bent one leg and made a horse stance. Jiang Li stepped on his leg, used the force to get to the front of the goal, and kicked the flying Cuju back! "Ali, great!"
Si Yao turned around and gave Jiang Li a thumbs up, then continued to hold her position.
As time passed, the red and blue teams were evenly matched and it was unclear who was better. The situation became more and more intense, and even the braziers on the shelves were knocked to the ground!
The Red Team is currently leading the Blue Team by two points. Seeing that two-thirds of the timing incense in front has burned out, the Blue Team launched an offensive and fought more and more fiercely.
When the Cuju was passed to Jiang Li's feet, she seized the opportunity, flexibly shuttled among the crowd, and finally successfully kicked the Cuju into the opponent's goal, widening the score between them and the blue team again.
The blue team adjusted their strategy and ran towards the red team's goal while kicking the ball. Seeing that the ball was about to be kicked into the goal, Jiang Li was about to step forward to stop it, but she was tripped by someone and fell forward uncontrollably. In front of her fell the brazier that she had not yet cleaned up...
"Ali!"
There will be another one later, I will write it after dinner. Today I must write about them expressing their feelings! Let the babies enjoy it!
