Chapter 281
It's a good thing to be in the limelight when you are serious, just look at those candidates and scholars.
Now the most famous scholar in Daqin belongs to Liang Songzi. He has a lot of troubles.
Also, those who went to Shanggu Village to toss flower trees back then are now a little famous. They often toss flower trees by themselves, plant them in their own yards, and invite people to enjoy the flowers.
Those people were lucky enough to get in touch with Liu Yaoqing, but what about the rest of the Great Qin Dynasty?
This Cuju competition is an opportunity.
Gongsun Ban also organized a Cuju team. He employs people of all kinds, regardless of their identities, even if they are slaves for generations, as long as they play Cuju well, they can join the team. future.
A Cuju team has serious players, as well as substitutes, and there are even those who specialize in logistics.
This is the standard from the arena, everyone thinks it is very serious, and they all follow it.
"I applied for a position in the arena, and we are practicing in the arena these days." Gongsun Banru said with a serious face, "Brother Qing will definitely come to see it, and I heard that there will be people from other countries, so everyone can't be ashamed !"
When everyone heard this, they all puffed up their chests, proud of it.
The arena is divided into squares, separated by temporarily moved wooden fences, and there are potted flowers in them, which are very beautiful.
Gongsun Ban brought people into the arena, and everyone had to go through inspection at the gate of the arena. There must be no illegal luggage, and they had to pay to enter.
"There are houses in our small arena. Everyone should follow the agreement in advance. No noise is allowed, otherwise you will lose the qualification if you are kicked out of the arena." Gongsun Ban explained, "We will contract a small canteen for eating and drinking. Don’t worry everyone, just practice hard and don’t lose face.”
Having said that, apart from the serious face of the Cuju team, Gongsun Ban himself did not dare to relax for a moment.
He didn't come early, the main reason was to pull up the team, and he had to practice in private first, so as not to come to the arena, and people from all over the place would watch, and if he made a mistake, wouldn't he be ashamed?
The team next door came early, and the one who started the organization was a young man who brought his subordinates to the arena early, chose the small arena with the best position as a contractor, and led the team to practice Cuju every day.
Some of them are physically strong, but they have never touched Cuju at all. They have to practice from scratch, and they make a lot of jokes. People often come to watch.
"Oh oh oh!"
Cheers came from a distance, it was a player who was good at playing Cuju, and he must have played tricks at this time, making people happy to watch.
Gongsun Ban took a deep breath, thinking that his team also had to work harder.
More and more people came to the arena, and it became more and more lively every day, but Liu Yaoqing was not very busy.
The small dining halls inside are all contracted out one by one. If you don’t want to contract the small dining hall, you can go to the big dining hall to eat. The houses are all exactly the same wooden houses, and the furnishings inside are also the same. You can live as long as you contract.
There is also a shop opened by the yamen, which has more variety of things, as long as you have money, you can eat everything.
When the children were idle, Liu Yaoqing and Brother Zhezi dragged their family and took people to the arena to play.
Before entering the arena, the carriage rattled on the flat concrete road, Liu Doudou lifted the curtain to look out, and said in surprise, "Father, there are so many carriages outside, I haven't seen so many carriages the last time I came here. "
"A lot of teams came to the arena, and everyone came to visit." Liu Yaoqing explained, "We are also visiting, so we can't shout."
"I know, I know." Liu Doudou nodded hastily.
The youngest children are still at home, so it is not suitable for them to go out for a walk. This time, Qin Jingyu, Liu Doudou, Bai Niangxian, and Brother Ning came out with them.
The carriage stopped at the gate for inspection, and brother Zhezi gave money again before letting go.
There is a special place to store the carriage inside, and there are special people to take care of it, so you don't have to worry about losing the carriage.Liu Yaoqing led Liu Doudou and Brother Ning, Brother Zhezi led Qin Jingyu and Bai Niangxian, and went to the stands together.
The stands are high and low, but you can see the people in the arena.
"There are cushions on the stands, not bad." Liu Yaoqing nodded appreciatively.
The cushions are woven from corn husks, which is not as old as before, but it is clean and convenient. Otherwise, if you sit directly on the cement, you will get hot when the sun comes out, and it will be cold when the sun goes down, which will definitely not make you comfortable.
"That's Gongsun Bing." Liu Yaoqing saw at a glance that the closest team was actually a Gongsun Bing team.
At this time, Gongsun Ban was wearing a neat bunt, watching the people in the team practicing Cuju with a serious face, and some people were busy carrying warm water, food, handkerchiefs, etc. They were the logistics people.
Cuju is divided into confrontational competition and trick cuju.
At this time, most of the people were preparing for the competition, and some of them sneaked away to play Cuju tricks.
Flying over the top of the head, you can catch it with your feet without looking back, and some can roll around on their backs without ever falling off.
In the distance, two teams have made an appointment to compete in private, and the most people are watching there.
Some people kept applauding, and the sound came and went.
After a game, the people who had played happily clapped their hands and greeted the people in the stands, and retreated calmly.
"They are all amazing." Liu Yaoqing sighed.
"Since Xiandao started playing Cuju, more and more people have played it. Many people may have never experienced the game, but there are many games with less strict rules in private. Just look at the tricks they play. I must have practiced a lot in normal times." Brother Zhezi said, "Su Qi on our mountain plays very well."
Liu Yaoqing also knew about Su Qi, that kid not only played cuju well, but also played roller skating even better, those tricks Liu Yaoqing had never seen before, like a bird flying in the sky.
But my family is not allowed to participate in the competition, Liu Yaoqing has already said in advance.
Su Qi didn't have time even if she wanted to participate in the competition. Basically, she could only play for a few days when she was back on the mountain to rest from work.
These people came one after another, and the people from the surrounding small countries were not slow.
Needless to say, the vassal state, the emperor has come to the imperial decree, dare not disobey.The other small countries that have not yet belonged to them do not dare to show their temper at this moment. They have long heard that Daqin has changed a lot, and they want to find an opportunity to take a look. This time is the opportunity.
Not only that, but they also sent a whole team in accordance with the rules of the Cuju competition.
The officials of Honglu Temple temporarily moved to the arena, and arranged the envoys of these small countries and others in each arena.
"All expenses for food and clothing are paid by the yamen, and they don't charge money for the small arena, but the things are the most basic. If you want to see more, you have to go to the shop to spend money." Liu Yaoqing said, "First It’s like this, when we do it again next year or the year after, they’re afraid they’ll want to come at their own expense.”
Batur came on behalf of the tribe, followed by a group of warriors from the tribe.
His tribe was the first to enjoy the help of Daqin, relying on the food sent by Liu Yaoqing to survive the winter, no one died of freezing.Now the tribe raises sheep, cows, horses, etc., and the daily output of wool and milk can be exchanged for food, which makes Batur grow a lot taller, and has now become a strong young man.
Even so, he had never seen such a flat and huge arena.
The ground is very smooth, without a single small stone, just like a large flat stone slab laid on the ground. The huge arena can't be seen at a glance, like a huge mountain that is difficult to climb.
"In the first two days, you can look around in the arena. You can leave the arena if you want to, but you have to register at the gate. If you eat, go to the dining hall. You will know after you go there. Also, you can't just go here. Make trouble, or you will be disqualified from the competition."
"Let's go and see the situation first."
No matter how much you say at this time, it is better for Batur to take someone to see for himself.
And because of the arrival of these people, the team that arrived earlier cheered up. On the one hand, it was to set an example for them, and on the other hand, they did not want to lose face.
Playing Cuju is more serious, almost using all the skills.
The men's faces were covered with sweat, but they were all very excited. The brothers were light and running faster, and they were all full of energy at this time.
They jumped, rolled, and chased Cuju; fell down and got up, and continued as long as there was no serious problem; those who were unlucky got injured and were carried down on a stretcher, their bodies hurt, and they had to tell the team that they must win .
They are full of vigor and vitality, like cheerful birds.
Some are tall and run like moving hills on the field, while others are petite and flexible, like slippery monkeys.They fought against each other, seriously expecting the team to win, and after the end, they laughed and laughed, stepped on the flat grass, wiped the stinky sweat on their bodies, and went back to rest.
"Are these the people of Daqin?" Batur was a little shocked.
Ever since he heard the news, he begged his father to choose warriors from the tribe, and for this reason, he also greeted the surrounding tribes and asked them to send some warriors.
The men brought by Batur this time are all tall, strong men who have experienced several life-and-death contests.
At first I thought it was just Cuju, but they are all the most mighty warriors, they will definitely be able to catch them easily, and the first laurels must belong to them!But after watching a game, Batur felt that his thoughts seemed a little naive.
He took the warriors back to the cabin, and everyone got together for a meeting.
"We can't lose." Batur originally wanted to say that we can't lose too badly, but he felt too imposing, so he changed his words.
"Batur, do you think we can win if we fight them directly?" A man said after a moment of silence.
He said fight, not game.
Batur looked serious, "Although they are not as good as those we have seen before, they are not bad. I think... the chances of winning are not great."
They are warriors carefully selected by the tribe, representing the highest combat power of the tribe, and the men on the field come from various backgrounds, but they are all very strong. They can win with all their strength, but Daqin is not only these people, there are many There are many, not to mention there are more powerful existences that have not shown up.
