Chapter 139: Carrying the ball into the opponent, Tokyo Snow
"This"

"Can it be done?"

"Of course, go ahead and do it."

Yang Chang spoke with certainty, but he was not completely sure in his heart, after all, this routine came from the Internet.

As the task executors, Le He and Yan Qing naturally trusted Yang Chang who was in charge. Only Dai Zongren had a serious look on his face.

He thought for a while and murmured, "Before we set out, Brother Gongming told us to listen to Brother Yang's instructions, but your plan just now is really bold. I'm worried that if it's discovered, it will offend the two of them. Then we will have nowhere to go."

"how could be?"

Yang Chang smiled faintly and added: "Does Dean Dai think that Su Yuanjing will confront Li Shishi? Or do you think that Su Yuanjing will confront the emperor? Even Gao Qiu died in Liangshan, who are we afraid of offending now? If you want to do big things, don't be timid. As long as you firmly believe that the other party can do it, they will not be able to see through it."

"OK then."

"There is no time to lose. We will start the action tomorrow. Dean Dai and Brother Le will go see General Su, and Brother Xiaoyi will go find Master Li."

"No. What about you, brother?"

"Yeah, Brother Yang isn't going?"

Yan Qing looked at Yang Chang in surprise, while Dai Zong and Le He also looked confused.

"I will naturally stay at the inn and look for other ways. You have to believe in yourself."

"All right."

Song Jiang asked Yang Chang to be in charge of this trip. After hearing the reason, the three men stopped asking questions, thinking that Yang Chang really had other ways. In fact, this guy was just slacking off and doing personal things.

The next morning, Yang Chang followed the three people and went to the street to inquire about the news.

He went to Pan Jinlian's villa, but unfortunately no one answered the door when he knocked, and no one came back after waiting for an hour, so he had to return to the Panlou Street Inn in disappointment.

When I entered the room, I saw Yan Qing had returned and looked at me with a look of wanting to say something but stopping himself.

"what happened?"

"I have already called Li Xingshou my elder sister. She wants me to move into her home, so I came back to ask for your permission."

"Hey, I thought something was wrong, isn't this a good thing?"

"But it's a brothel after all, I'm afraid it's not convenient for me to stay there."

Seeing Yan Qing's embarrassment, Yang Chang guessed that Li Shishi had some thoughts, so he patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "Li Xing Shou treats Xiao Yi brother as his own, maybe he can help introduce you to the emperor. If you can get an imperial edict from the emperor, it will be worth it even if you suffer a big loss. If Liangshan is recruited later, Xiao Yi brother will be the first to contribute."

"But.Okay."

Yan Qing agreed after a little hesitation, and then curiously asked: "Brother went out this morning, did you find another opportunity?"

"Forget it. I wandered around blindly and didn't know where to start."

"There are many brothels and theaters around here. In addition, there is a new house built in the south of Panlou Street and the southeast of Jieshen Lane. It is said that it is the residence of the ninth prince of the government, Prince Kang. Prince Kang will move in soon. Brother, you can try your luck there."

"Kang Wang?"

"Yes, it's Zhao Gou, the former Prince of Guangping. He was newly conferred the title last month."

“Oh, I see.”

Yang Chang nodded as he listened.

Yang Chang was too disdainful to seek help from the famous "Wanyan Ninth Sister", and it was a taboo for vassal kings to interfere in government affairs, so Zhao Gou was unlikely to help.

However, one should be able to inquire about royal affairs in the brothels around the palace, so Yang Chang still planned to make a trip. After seeing Gao Qiu's miserable condition in Liangshan, he made up his mind to take the princess away to avoid the recurrence of the Jingkang tragedy.

After helping Yan Qing pack his luggage, Yang Chang told him to take more gold and silver to bribe the brothel owner, and followed him out of the inn.

Walking along Jieshen Lane to the end, there is a lively place in the southeast direction. It is the largest Sangjia Tavern in Bianliang, which has more than 50 brothels of various sizes.

The brothels were not just for listening to music, but also included all kinds of entertainment, including storytelling, singing and dancing, acrobatics, sumo wrestling and even Cuju performances.

Yang Chang was there in person and was dazzled by what he saw, as if he had returned to the future.

"Tang Mazi Cuju Teahouse? This one is quite interesting."

Yang Chang talked to himself and walked in involuntarily.

Unlike other teahouses, you have to pay for tea when entering this teahouse, and the price is ten times higher than that of ordinary teahouses because you can watch the game while sipping tea.

Yang Chang had plenty of money for food and drink, so he found a seat by the side.

There were already people warming up on the court downstairs. They were wearing uniform white clothes and were practicing juggling and shooting.

Of course, the goal Yang Chang saw at this time was very different from the one in the future, and it could be said to be much more difficult.

There were two wooden poles three feet high, two feet and eight inches apart. The net was nine feet and five inches wide, with a net about three feet in diameter on it, called the Fengliuyan. A goal did not count if it hit the goal post, only a goal into the eye counted as a score.

In order to obtain intelligence, Yang Chang gave an extra fifty coins as a tip.

The tea doctor took the money and smiled happily. He introduced the guests with a smile: "You are indeed an extraordinary guest. You have come here specially to support Qiyun Society, right? They will first perform a 'white fight' performance, and then there will be a 'black fight' competition when the opponent comes."

"Hmm? What do you mean by white vs. black?"

Seeing Yang Chang's confused face, Dr. Cha was stunned with empty eyes, and then explained: "Sir, do you want to test me? White play means using the head, shoulders, back, knees, legs, feet and other parts to bounce the ball and prevent it from falling to the ground. It is said that General Gao is particularly good at this, of course he is no longer here. Black play means confrontation and cooperation, kicking the opponent's eyes with your feet."

“Teachable.”

Yang Chang suddenly understood and asked again: "I heard that Prince Kang's Palace is nearby, so you can see it often?"

"Huh? You are really well-informed. I guess you are a loyal spectator of Qiyun Society. Today, someone is congratulating the completion of Prince Kang's residence and inviting Qiyun Society to compete with another team. I heard that Prince Kang will also come to watch the game later. The view from your position is amazing."

The tea doctor was very excited when he heard this. Yang Chang thought to himself, why are you so stupid?

He took the opportunity to ask, "Young man, you have guests every day, so you should be more informed than me. I heard that King Kang is not even fifteen yet, but he will get married next year when he moves to the mansion. Does that mean the princess will also get married at the age of fifteen?"

"Hmm? Not necessarily? Most are fifteen or sixteen years old, but there is an exception. Princess Maode is nineteen years old and still unmarried. I heard that because she missed her deceased mother, she has seen through the world and become a nun to practice Taoism."

"See through the world? Become a monk?"

Yang Chang was stunned after hearing this. He thought to himself, no matter how you look at that girl, she doesn't seem to have the mindset of becoming a nun. Could it be because she detoxified herself? Or was she punished by the emperor?
If he suffered because of me, then my buddy would be saved even more.

"Sir, do you not believe me? Actually, I have only heard about it, so how can I know the specific reason?"

"Young man, do you know where this princess became a nun?"

"Ok?"

Tea Master was stunned by the question, swallowed his saliva and replied: "Unmarried princesses naturally live in the imperial palace. Why do you keep testing me?"

"Hehe, sorry for taking up my time."

Yang Chang took out dozens of copper coins and gave them to the tea doctor from Dihua in front of him. The other party was naturally very happy.

On the way to pour tea and leave, this guy looked back at Yang Chang a few times, thinking that the ideas of rich people are really strange. They take the initiative to spend money to deliberately ask outsiders for advice? Fortunately, I have something in my head.

Upon hearing that Zhao Fujin was in the imperial palace, Yang Chang instantly pinched his chin and frowned, thinking that it would be too difficult to kidnap him now, and now he was planning to recruit him. It seemed that he could only wait until he was recruited, and then use his new identity to sneak in?

Just as he lowered his head in thought, cheers suddenly came from the surroundings.

When Yang Chang heard the voice, he looked around and found that the second floor of the teahouse was already full of people.

In addition to the players brought by Qiyun Society, their opponents today have also arrived at the stadium downstairs, and sixteen people from each side are warming up.

Yang Chang didn't understand, but didn't leave.

Nothing to do today, so I went to watch a football game.

After a while, both sides completed their preparations, the referee rang the gong to signal the start, and the spectators cheered loudly.

The team uniforms on the field are one white and one green. The green team on the left kicks off the ball, and the players from both teams move to their positions.

Although Yang Chang didn't understand the ancient rules, he could see that the green team had better physical fitness, while the white team was not as strong but had better skills.

The two sides fought back and forth fiercely, and there was no goal for a long time.

The tea master came to refill the tea and took the initiative to introduce them to Yang Chang: "Sir, do you feel unfamiliar with them? I just found out that those green-clothed soldiers are not from the capital. They are soldiers from the Western Army. No wonder they work so well together."

"What about the White Team?"

Yang Chang was puzzled when he heard this, wondering if the army also played Cuju. He didn't know that ancient Cuju actually originated from the military camp and was also a means of military training.

When Dr. Tea heard this, he smiled and replied, "Sir, you are testing me again. Who among the people in the capital doesn't know 'Tokyo Snow'?"

"Tokyo snow? So you wear white? What about red?"

"The red ones are from Tokyo Hot, they are the women's Cuju team. I heard that they are all beautiful. You must have seen them, but I am not lucky enough to see them. Both teams are made up of children of officials."

“I’ve actually seen it.”

Dr. Tea was used to Chief Yang's "pretentiousness", and he had a lot of expressions when introducing him, but Mr. Yang really had no idea, and was shocked to hear the team name.

What a 'Tokyo Fever'! Are the Beijing dignitaries so good at naming things?
Yang Chang picked up the hot tea and took a sip. Suddenly he heard the spectators around him sighing in unison. He saw the player of the green team fell to the ground with his legs hugged. The referee raised the flag and suspended the game.

It turned out that Zheng Xie had missed the goal several times. When he was scrambling for the ball, he jumped too high in a hurry, but when he landed, he lost his balance and sprained his ankle. It seemed that he could not continue. "If you have fewer people, we will go next."

"No need, we still have someone, Hu Cheng!"

"Ah? I can't."

"If you don't know, then learn!"

The green team was just making a substitution due to injury, and the referee raised the flag for the game to continue. Yang Chang was watching nonchalantly at first, but suddenly he was startled and sat up straight.

Hu Cheng? My brother-in-law?
Since he had only met him twice and couldn't see clearly from his high vantage point, Yang Chang was unable to confirm for the moment.

But the Hu surname itself is not a big surname, so it is very likely that he is Hu Sanniang’s brother.

Yang Chang had been inquiring about the whereabouts of the Hu family, but he did not expect to get an unexpected reward while watching a ball game in a brothel.

The original center back of the green team left the field, and the center back was replaced by the assistant center back, and the original free man was replaced by the assistant center back. Although the positions were not adjusted much, there were still problems with coordination. (The head of the ball is the captain, the free man is the midfielder, the center back is the striker, the assistant center back is the winger, and the free man is the center back or the libero)

Hu Cheng, who came on as a substitute, immediately became the biggest loophole in the team. 'Tokyo Snow' quickly took the initiative and scored three goals in less than a minute.

Yang Chang was watching anxiously from upstairs, and when he went downstairs, he saw that it was indeed Hu Cheng. He had learned Gao Qiu's unique Cuju skills, so naturally he wanted to help his brother-in-law.

He walked around to the back of Hu Cheng and called out softly, waving: "Master Hu, Master Hu?"

"It's you!"

The moment Hu Cheng saw Yang Chang, he suddenly forgot he was in the competition and ran out in a fit of excitement.

"You've lost weight."

"Thank you so much for that year!"

When Yang Chang saw Hu Cheng, he didn't know what to say for a moment, so he greeted him like a friend. Hu Cheng was very excited and held his hand and didn't want to let go.

This absurd scene made the ball head, who was standing on the ball position, furious. He ran and pointed at Hu Cheng and cursed: "Hu Cheng, are you fucking crazy? Who told you to run to the sidelines without permission? Do you still have any rules?"

"My team leader"

"Don't be angry, brother. I'm Hu Cheng's friend. I know how to play Cuju a little bit, but he really can't do it at all. Why don't I play for him for a while?"

"Ok?"

At the moment when the ball head was stunned, he heard the audience shouting nearby.

It turned out that the White Team had scored another goal. At this time, the game time was already halfway through, but the score had widened to five to zero, and the Green Team was basically doomed to defeat.

The ball leader didn't want to lose too badly, so he looked at Yang Chang for confirmation.

"Can you really play Cuju?"

“A little bit, a little bit”

"Change."

"it is good."

Yang Chang and Hu Cheng changed their clothes and went on the court, becoming substitutes in the middle of the Green Team's scattered players. The ball boss didn't have much hope for him and just let him stay in the midfield and backcourt to defend.

Team Bai just found a breakthrough from Hu Cheng, so when it came to Yang Chang, they naturally had to follow suit.

Tokyo Xue's cross-ball passed the ball horizontally, and Zuo Ganwang passed it forward to the deputy guard. The deputy guard adjusted the cross-ball and kicked it behind Yang Chang. Zheng Jia, who came over, kicked it in the air and hit the edge of Feng Liuyan, almost going in again, which scared the green team members out of their wits. (Zuo Ganwang is a left-wing player, who can be a forward or a defender)

The head of the green team shook his head after seeing this, thinking that you guys only know a little bit, it seems the score will get wider.

Considering that they could no longer beat the White Team, the Green Team intended to pass the ball to the backcourt. Not wanting the score to continue to widen, the White Team had no choice but to change its formation and advance to the frontcourt to fight for the ball.

Yang Changgang was also confused when he came off the field. After all, it was his first time playing Cuju and he didn't understand the rules, let alone cooperating with a group of strangers.

But fortunately, he had the skills, and after the ball was passed several times in the backcourt, it finally came to Yang Chang's feet for the first time.

The fellow pretended to turn around and fired back, but he flew up half a foot high.

Just when the Green Team's ball header was speechless, Yang Chang suddenly jumped up and triggered his special skill [Overhead Hook], kicking the ball at an incredible speed, flying into Fengliu's eye behind the White Team.

In an instant, the whole place was in an uproar.

"The ball is kicked so fast, it goes over in a flash, who can stop it?"

"The key is his position, how much strength is needed to kick the ball in."

"Don't forget, that's a hook shot."

“Best of the day!”

There was endless praise from outside the field, and the green team inside the field also found their morale. They were amazed at how powerful this foreign player was, and they all wanted to feed him the ball.

The White team was stunned by this goal, but they immediately started to counterattack.

After several passes, the opponent came to the midfield. The opponent might want to regain ground on Yang Chang, so the organizer deliberately kicked the ball over Yang Chang's head, intending to let the header catch it and pass it again. (The header is a center forward who is good at heading the ball)
But such a provocation was undoubtedly a waste of time for Yang Chang.

The guy decisively turned around and leaned back, and once again hooked the ball into Fengliu's eye, bringing the score to five to two.

This strike once again aroused the enthusiasm of the audience, and the cheers continued for a long time.

When the White Team saw how powerful Yang Chang was, they immediately sent people to defend him and deliberately avoided him when attacking.

However, the Green Team saw hope of victory. They used their physical advantage to rush forward to fight for the ball, and then passed it back to Yang Chang for a shot. In less than a minute, they equalized the score.

No matter where Yang Chang is, he can score with a hook as long as he receives the ball. The key is that he now has the [Iron Wall], and with the [Power of a Tiger], his impact is amazing, and no matter how many people there are, they can't stop him.

With only one stick of incense left in the game, the green team had already overtaken by two goals.

The White Team are all children of officials in the capital, how can they compete with the soldiers in terms of physical strength? And there are "monsters" among them.

At the critical moment, referee Qiyunshe raised the flag to call a timeout, and the white team replaced five players at the same time.

I saw a dashing young man, who looked only fourteen or fifteen years old, who took over the original ball head position. The other four players on the field were all tall and mighty, stronger than anyone on the green team. It was obviously a targeted substitution.

After the timeout, the white team passed the ball to the young man, who dribbled past the opponent with extraordinary skills.

Among the four people who came on the field at the same time, one of them came to guard Yang Chang first. This person took the initiative to wrestle with Yang Chang in close combat, but meeting Yang Chang was like meeting a wall, so he signaled his companions to attack from both sides.

Unfortunately, two people couldn't defend it, so four strong men had to help defend.

It would be easy for Yang Chang to squeeze through, but he also had the body movement [Centipede Step], and his positioning and dribbling were the best on the field, so he still couldn't be stopped from scoring.

Seeing how powerful Yang Chang was, the Green Team all attacked around him and soon narrowed the gap to 5 to 10, which was a very rare high score in the Cuju competition organized by Qiyun Society for many years.

Just before the end of the game, Yang Chang had already gotten rid of the four burly men and was about to lock the goal count to thirteen, but the young man's head suddenly flashed out from the side, and he wanted to use his body to block the opponent's movement.

This is what is called a mantis trying to stop a chariot. Although Yang Chang does not look that strong, his core can be described as terrifying.

At this moment, he looked like a cheetah with the core of an elephant, and the boy was like an underage fox.

As soon as their bodies touched, the young man was knocked several feet away.

"master!"

"Master!"

"You are courting death, you bastard!"

Yang Chang had just finished scoring a goal when he turned around and saw three of the four sturdy men running wildly and rushing towards him viciously.

"Oh no, they are going to cause trouble, everyone help!"

"it is good!"

Even though they had just met, and even though they knew that the White Team consisted of children of government officials, these dozen or so soldiers were all brave men, and how could they bear to watch their 'hero' being bullied? They swarmed forward, led by the head football player.

Seeing that the situation was out of control, several referees rang the gong in an attempt to control it.

However, the conflict was difficult to resolve, but things did not develop in a bad direction.

Because Yang Chang defeated three people in the blink of an eye, two of them fell to the ground covering their injured parts, and the other one held his dislocated right arm and ran towards the young man in fear, while the soldiers of the green team stood still with their eyes wide open.

One person was knocked down with one punch, and one of them was spitting blood. Who is this person?
Yang Chang was very excited. [Iron Wall] not only provided him with defense, but also made his bare hands more lethal. His body would no longer be hurt by [Power of a Tiger].

It is obvious that the young man is not simple.

Yang Chang didn't want to cause trouble, so while everyone was shocked, he quickly took off his green team uniform, handed it to Hu Cheng, whispered a few words, and then disappeared into the crowd.

Near the white team's goal, the boy who was knocked away slowly stood up.

"Your Highness, we brothers are incompetent, but that guy is really powerful. We will call someone over right away."

"Ahem, I just saw it. Don't make trouble. This guy is an expert in Cuju and has amazing martial arts. Go and bring him back to me. Don't be rude!"

"Yes!"

PS: It’s the last day of the month. Thank you all for your support of monthly tickets. I will add another chapter.
