Cuju is a full-body exercise, which consumes a lot of physical strength. Moreover, every part of the body needs intense exercise, so it is necessary to wear loose clothes. Moreover, it is necessary to protect the knee and elbow joints, so as to avoid injuring oneself while playing Cuju.
Li An had long invented the Cuju uniform, which was tailor-made for Cuju players. The upper body was a tight-fitting white shirt that was elastic, while the lower body was a pair of loose pants. It was similar to the sportswear of the later generations. Such clothes could very well show off a man's strong figure, giving people a kind of masculine beauty.
When Ang Lee put on the sportswear, his strong chest muscles were all unreservedly displayed. His bare arms are also full of strong muscles. Coupled with his handsome sides, it is simply a rhythm that can charm thousands of girls.
After the sound of the cannon, Ang Lee and the others entered the field from two directions and respectfully waved to the audience on both sides.
"Wow …"
The surrounding crowd immediately burst into enthusiastic applause. Among them, there are men's voices and women's voices. In short, they are very excited, just like fans in the future who saw a star.
"Alang, do your best!"
"Alang is the best, Alang is the most handsome."
"Alang, Alang, Alang, Alang."
Yun 'er and the others are all excitedly cheering for Ang Lee, causing the girls next to them to be dumbfounded. They don't understand why these girls are so excited.
After the sound of the cannon, the game officially began. The Cuju game has begun.
"Pass it over, here."
"Pay attention to the goal."
"Haha! One in. "
"Wow, another one in."
Ang Lee's start is really good. He kicked two Cuju in a row, obtaining a good start to the game. It is a very good start.
The audience is also very satisfied watching and cheered for Ang Lee and the others.
"Alang looks so handsome when he plays Cuju. He is really too handsome."
Yun 'er looked at Ang Lee and said tenderly.
"Yes! This is the first time we have seen Alang play Cuju. He's too handsome. "
The beautiful woman held her chin with both hands and said with intoxication.
"I really want to lie in Alang's arms! Yes, yes. "
The white fox's legs were clamped tightly together, and her expression was one of ecstasy.
"Sister White Fox, you got wet so quickly. I'm so shy!"
Magpie sneered at the side.
White Fox rolled his eyes at Magpie and looked at the group of young ladies beside him. He said, "Look at them. Which one of them doesn't have a crush on Alang? It's a pity that there's only one Alang and they can only take a look at him."
"You're right! I suddenly realized how blessed we are! "
Yun'er said.
"Stop talking. Look, Alang scored another one. Wow … Alang, you can do it. Alang is the best …"
The beauty shouted and then cheered for Ang Lee loudly.
The young ladies at the side did not know who Yun'er and the others were at first. However, they soon found out and cast envious gazes at Yun'er and the others.
After all, Yun 'er and the others were able to get along with Li An every day, and this was something that was truly worthy of envy!
"Sister, I'm also from Chang 'an. I'm drifting overseas with my father. The most handsome one is Assistant Minister Li, right?"
A sweet-looking girl looked at Yun'er and asked.
Yun'er said indifferently, "I'm from Xinluo. You're right. The most handsome one is our Alang, the Assistant Minister Li that you mentioned."
"To be able to serve such a handsome husband every day, I really envy you."
The sweet girl had an envious expression on her face.
Yun'er raised her arrogant beast and said loudly, "Our Alang is not only handsome and suave. He has many powerful aspects. Do you want to know? "
"Sister, tell us quickly!"
The sweet girl's gossipy heart was aroused as she asked curiously.
Yun'er cleared her throat and said, "Our Alang is handsome, has a lot of poetry, has an extraordinary way of talking, is especially smart, and is even more powerful in that aspect."
"Sister, which aspect is he more powerful?"
The sweet girl was still very innocent and did not understand Ang Lee's words.
"It's that aspect!"
Yun'er smiled faintly and did not point it out.
The sweet girl still did not understand and asked again in a low voice, "Sister, what aspect is that?"
Yun'er suddenly realized that she had become bad. The other party was about the same age as her, but she did not even know what that aspect was. Didn't this make her seem less pure?
The older woman beside her quickly pulled the sweet girl to the side and whispered into her ear. Only when the sweet girl's face turned red did she stop explaining.
After that, the sweet girl became much more well-behaved. She did not ask any more questions and only focused on watching the game. However, her expression became more and more ecstatic, as if she was not watching the game, but her future husband.
Ang Lee was more focused on the game and did not pay attention to the audience's reaction. He could only occasionally hear the shouts of Yun'er and the others.
After the game had gone on for a while, Ang Lee's side had scored ten cuju, while Li Feiyu's side had only scored six. It was obvious that Ang Lee's side had a huge advantage. Victory was almost certain.
"Go south. Catch. This Cuju will let you in."
Ang Lee kicked the cuju to Nan Xia, letting him attack.
Nan Xia cooperated and caught the cuju. He charged continuously, dodging the interceptions of many of the opposing team members. With a powerful kick, he kicked the cuju into the bamboo door, once again obtaining another point for Ang Lee's team.
"Feiyu, it looks like our team is definitely going to win this competition! Do you still want to continue? "
Ang Lee said as he ran.
"Big Bro, the spectators have all bought their tickets. Even if we're going to lose, we have to finish the competition. At the very least, we have to satisfy the spectators. We have to let them know that they didn't waste their money."
Li Feiyu said.
Ang Lee laughed and said, "Fei Yu, I didn't expect you to be so dedicated! Then let's continue until it's over. Hahaha! "
The game was already three-quarters done. There was still a quarter of the time left. Everyone could see that the result of the game was already clear. However, for the sake of the integrity of the game, it was better to finish the game.
"It's in."
"It's in again."
"Another one, haha!"
As the game progressed, not only did the gap in the game not shrink, it grew even bigger. It was really surprising. Ang Lee's team scored a few more cuju consecutively, pulling the gap even further. Now, even a fool could see that the game could not be reversed. The final victory would definitely belong to Ang Lee's team.
"Dong dong dong …"
With the sound of the gong, the game officially ended.
There was no doubt that Ang Lee's team had obtained the final victory. Moreover, it was a glorious victory with a relatively large score.
"Wow …"
When the news of Ang Lee's team's victory was announced, the audience was boiling with excitement. It was indescribable with words.
"Alang is the best. Alang is the best …"
"Alang won. I said it before. Alang will definitely win."
"Tonight, I have to reward Alang well. I want …"
"Shameless, haha!"
Yun 'er and the other three were shouting happily, without any restraint that a girl should have.
Of course, Ang Lee was also very happy. After the game ended, he did not change his clothes. He directly wore his game clothes and walked to the front of the audience. There were his subordinates and the audience there.
"Assistant Minister Li."
His subordinates all bowed to Ang Lee.
Ang Lee waved his hand as a response to his subordinates' etiquette. He also asked his subordinates to sit down.
"Alang, you're so good! You scored so many cuju. "
"Alang, White Fox just said that she will properly dress you up tonight. Hahaha!"
Yun 'er joked.
Ang Lee was very happy when he heard this. He hurriedly said, "White Fox, is that true?"
"Alang! When have I not dressed you up? "
White Fox coquettishly said.
"Haha! That's true. I heard all of you cheering for me just now. However, I heard far more than just the few of you. Who else cheered for me? "
Ang Lee said as he looked at the large group of young and beautiful girls nearby. His eyes were shining and he was almost drooling.
Many young and beautiful girls were frightened by Ang Lee's burning gaze. They all lowered their heads and did not dare to speak. They were like children who did something wrong and did not dare to face their parents.
"Ladies, what do you think of my kick?"
Ang Lee asked boldly.
"Good."
The girls were still a little shy. Their voices were very soft, as if they had not eaten.
Ang Lee understood that the girls were shy. Naturally, he would not force them to speak loudly. He smiled and gave them a kiss before sitting down to rest.
Li Feiyu also came over in a very annoying manner, as if he also wanted to come over and feel the fragrance of the girls.
Since he came over, Ang Lee could not chase him away. He could only let Li Feiyu sit down.
"Fei Yu, how much do you know about Cuju?"
Ang Lee asked.
Li Feiyu scratched his head and said, "Big Brother, isn't Cuju just a kick? What's there to know?"
"I'm talking about the history of Cuju. How much do you know?"
Ang Lee continued to ask.
"Isn't Cuju just a round ball? There's a history."
Li Feiyu scratched his head and looked a little cute.
Ang Lee said, "Cuju did not only exist in the Tang Dynasty. It existed more than a thousand years before the Tang Dynasty. Especially during the Han Dynasty, Cuju was very popular. It did not lose to the Tang Dynasty at all. There are many interesting stories about Cuju. You probably don't know about them, right?"
"The story of Cuju seems to be very interesting. Tell me about it! Why are there so many people listening? "
Li Feiyu pointed behind him and said.
Ang Lee looked up. It was great! There were so many young and beautiful girls gathered behind him, listening to his stories.
Ang Lee suddenly gained a lot of motivation. He told them all the stories about Cuju in the Han Dynasty, starting from Liu Bang's father's love of Cuju. He told them about the fanatical fans of the Han Dynasty who lost their lives to play football.
The stories were very interesting. The most important thing was that these stories were not known to the public. They were relatively new stories. Therefore, the girls were very interested and admired Ang Lee even more.
There were even some bold girls who asked Ang Lee some questions. As long as he knew and could answer, Ang Lee would answer seriously. He did not try to fool these girls at all.
After telling the stories of Cuju in the Han Dynasty, the girls were still not satisfied. Therefore, Ang Lee told them the stories of the Tang Dynasty. For example, the Tang Dynasty made some improvements to Cuju, making it easier to play. Of course, Ang Lee also talked about the various improvements he made to Cuju, making it even more popular.
Of course, Ang Lee could not casually talk about the history of Cuju after the Song Dynasty. This was because it was the Tang Dynasty now. The public did not know what the Song Dynasty was, let alone the Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasties.
However, Ang Lee himself had a deep understanding of the history of Cuju in the dynasties after that. For example, why Cuju in the Song Dynasty could prosper, but Cuju in the Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasties directly fell into a halt, or even a complete decline. This was caused by human reasons, not the people's changing interests.
The human reasons that Ang Lee mentioned were naturally the policies of the rulers. Ordinary people could not change the habits of the people.
For example, the Song Dynasty valued literature and despised martial arts. However, the emperor of the Song Dynasty valued Cuju very much and used it as a means of military training. When there was a competition, he would personally watch it.
There was an old saying that if the top was good, the bottom would be even better. Since the emperor valued Cuju very much, the people naturally loved Cuju in order to cater to his interests. What if they were good at Cuju and were valued by the emperor one day? Wouldn't that mean that they would have a meteoric rise?
Furthermore, it was not as if there were no such examples in the Song Dynasty. The reason why Grand Commandant Gao Qiu was able to become a Grand Commandant was not because he had any outstanding ability, but because he was good at Cuju, which made the crown prince very satisfied. When the crown prince ascended the throne, he promoted Gao Qiu, who loved to play football, to the position of Grand Commandant. After that, there were naturally more people who played football in the Song Dynasty. If one day the emperor valued him and made him a Grand Commandant, he would have struck it rich.
The Yuan Dynasty was a dynasty established by the Mongols. They lived on horseback, and due to their survival habits and the estrangement between the races, they were not used to sports like Cuju and would not promote it. Thus, Cuju had no choice but to be transferred from the government to the people, and it gradually dimmed down.
Just think about it, the Mongol nobles were all good at wrestling. If they were to wrestle with other races, they would definitely win. From that, they would be able to establish their prestige and make the other races accept them wholeheartedly.
If they were to compete in Cuju, the Mongol rulers might not be a match for the Southern Song Dynasty. If the Mongol nobles lost in Cuju, they would lose the face of the entire dynasty. This was something that they could not tolerate.
