The next morning, everyone got up early and prepared to participate in today's exhibition match.

According to the original plan, the competition was to be held in the evening, but Lu Yuelan was a loser. Yesterday, he temporarily changed it to be held at noon today. They were well prepared and caught the Chamber of Commerce off guard.

The Chamber of Commerce didn't dare to bargain with the Yamen. With Lu Yuelan's temper, it would be even more troublesome if the three-part talk went wrong and they were asked to come to the shore to compare.

Whether you are watching the competition on the shore or in the water, it is better during the day, because you can see more clearly than at night with a light on.

Early this morning, the area around the stadium was already crowded with people, and it was hard to get a ticket for the spectator seats on the boat. Even the window seats in nearby restaurants were sold out.

Fortunately, the participating teams can drive a boat over, and the coaches and guidance are all on the boat, and they are also on the boat during halftime.

Baijiazhuang's boat was big enough, including family members and onlookers...all carried to the side of the stadium on Jinghu Lake, where the angle to watch the game was excellent.

The Qinglong Team also has a huge boat with an all-black hull, which is in sharp contrast to the white boat in Baijiazhuang.

Everything was ready, and everyone held a "pre-war meeting" before leaving.

Previously, Zhao Pu arranged for Dong Qianyi to lead a spies to carefully investigate the Qinglong Team... The result was as Zhao Zhen speculated, the financial backer of the Qinglong Team was indeed Cao Ji Gambling House in Kaifeng City.

Moreover, the Qinglong team is actually divided into several teams. There are twelve official players in groups of three. There are four teams in total. Although they are collectively called Qinglong, there are actually three teams: White Tiger, Suzaku and Xuanwu.

The three members of each team are divided into gold, silver and bronze.

The Blue Dragon team has gold armor, silver armor and bronze armor.

The White Tigers have golden claws, silver claws and bronze claws.

The Suzaku team has gold wings, silver wings, and bronze wings.

The members of the Xuanwu team are Jin Tuo, Yin Tuo and Tong Tuo.

These team members are all born in Jianghu, selected from thousands of times, and compete for the top position. They have rich experience in playing football and have a tacit understanding. Moreover, these teams often work together to play match-fixing. The players have no principles and do everything according to orders. They are used by the Cao family to bribe

Officials and tools for making money.

Dong Qianyi also gave Zhao Zhen a list of the games that these teams have participated in over the years, both openly and secretly, as well as the officials from the DPRK and China who have made a lot of gold and silver by buying the games of these teams. A rough count of hundreds

, all over the government and other places.

The Lao Cao family used these teams to win over local officials and annex the gambling house businesses in various places, gradually becoming today's gambling house Cao's for almost ten years.

Zhao Zhen looked at the files that Qian Yi handed to him and snorted, "Old Cao really can't tell. He is usually very cautious when asking him questions, but he turns out to be so capable behind his back.

Why didn't he pay so much attention when he was running the military department?"

After Zhao Zhen finished speaking, he nuzzled his lips to Bao Zheng and signaled - Ai Qing, accept the order.

Mr. Bao took these files with both hands and listened to Zhao Zhen's instructions.

Zhao Zhen is also simple. He stretches out a finger and lightly scratches his neck, which means - don't let anyone go!

Master Bao accepted the order and went back to discuss with the Grand Master what to do with the Cao family.

Zhao Pu and others feel a little sorry for Lao Cao and the hundreds of officials involved in the case. This is the rhythm of uprooting them. I bet the emperor ran away from the imperial city to do something big, so he should simply replace a new group of people and go back.

…

The team that came to participate in the exhibition match today is the Zhengqinglong team, which means that the participating team members are gold armor, silver armor and bronze armor.

These three are the most famous trio in the black football game. They are ruthless and have a very dirty playing style. According to the investigation, in the games played by the Blue Dragon Team, seven players died accidentally and even more were injured.

Everyone looked at the bad records of this team and couldn't help but shake their heads - this is really a black sheep!

Zhao Zhen also did the same thing to Zhan Bailin and Bao Zheng as he did to Bao Zheng, which means - this is also done in one pot! Eliminate harm for the people!

…

Kaifeng Mansion is responsible for things above water, and Shuiyue Palace and Fang Jingxiao are responsible for things underwater.

Early this morning, the number of birds near Jinghu Lake was several times that of usual. Schools of fish were all circling around the Spirit Butterfly Palace. There was a separate boat in the Yamen, with Fang Jingxiao and Lu Yuelan sitting in charge. On the boat were Shuiyue Palace and Xiankong Island.

and navy men.

In addition, Ouyang Shaozheng also brought two ships to dock in the distance, and a large number of imperial guards were scattered among the spectators. These people were to protect the emperor.

Everything was ready and time was almost up. A group of people appeared at the side of the arena on Jinghu Lake.

In the cabin, Zhao Pu worked out tactics with Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang and Lin Yehuo. On the deck, Zhao Zhen waited for a group of children to have fun.

At the stern of the boat, the Demon King, the soy sauce team and several old men and women from the Demon Palace were drinking tea and sunbathing.

Tianzun has been very good since last night and has been studying the cocoon. He didn't even reply when Yin Hou said something to him, which made Yin Hou a little uncomfortable.

Even the fifth master felt that something was missing. Why was his master so dumb?

However, Yin Hou and the Demon King both told Tianzun not to wave the cocoon in front of Yutang's eyes before the game was over, as it would not be good if it would affect his game later.

After Baijiazhuang's boat was in position, it stopped on the left side of the arena.

And facing them was the Blue Dragon Team's ship.

There are two large two-story boats at the front and back of the stadium, both of which have been transformed into stands. Those who bought tickets boarded the boats early and excitedly waited for the game to start.

On the Qinglong team's side, there were many people gathered on the deck. As expected of professional football players, there was a small stadium on the deck of the ship. Two teams were practicing, one team wearing black and the other team wearing white. Apart from these people

The team uniforms also all wear soft armor, divided into three colors: gold, silver, and copper. This is probably how they distinguish between gold and silver armor.

Zou Liang and Long Qiaoguang observed for a while beside the boat. The two generals frowned - if you want to play football, you need to wear soft armor to protect against swords. What's the point?

"Are you afraid of accidentally injuring your own people if you use too many concealed weapons?" Mr. Guang was studying when he heard someone say from behind, "There is something hidden in that soft armor."

When the two generals turned around, they saw Fang Jingxiao standing behind them.

The black official robe that Fang Jingxiao wore today looked quite serious, but with two little fat birds standing on a leather cushion on her shoulders, it didn't look so serious.

Coal briquettes and snowballs also fell from the bow of the ship. On the highest mast, there were several huge falcons that I had never seen before, which looked quite majestic.

"That kind of soft armor, with willow leaves hidden between the armor pieces, can be used as a hidden weapon." Fang Jingxiao said.

The two generals were unhappy after hearing this, "Is this so mean?"

Fang Jingxiao nodded and nodded, taking out a jar from her sleeve, opening it, pinching out two dried worms and feeding them to the glutinous rice balls and black rice balls on her shoulders.

Just when Zhan Zhao and the others came out of the cabin, Long Qiaoguang and Zou Liang quickly asked him to cover the jar in his hand and hide it. After a while, Bai Yutang saw it, and even his clothes and the boat were burned.

Fang Jingxiao put the jar away in a funny way, and the two little fat birds on her shoulders had already flown to Zhan Zhao and the others, chirping.

Long Qiaoguang told the three people what Fang Jingxiao said. Zhan Zhao was quite puzzled and asked Fang Jingxiao how he knew.

Fang Jingxiao pointed to a majestic eagle standing on the mast, "Monitor the whole process."

Master Wu and Zhao Pu looked at the eagle with envy. This is what a "pet" should look like. They took a look at Xiao Wu who was rolling all over the floor with the children on the deck, and he was still in the water.

Yao Yao learned the swimming style from the swan and swam around the side of the boat... The fifth master couldn't help but reflect for a moment. He didn't know if he raised it the wrong way. Look at his eagle, it looks like an eagle!

Looking at my dragons and tigers... I feel like they have all become cats.

"What about the situation underwater?" Bai Yutang asked Fang Jingxiao.

"As soon as the Blue Dragon Team arrived, they already sent people into the water. There are frogmen wearing shark skins over there. They are still waiting in the water on the side of the boat. As for whether these people are going to the Spiritual Butterfly Palace or they are going to compete later.

If they are going to use evil tactics to deal with you, then we have to wait until the time comes.

Zhao Pu frowned when he heard this, "There are not enough black tricks from above, but there are also underwater ones?"

Fang Jingxiao spread her hands and said maybe.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang noticed that he seemed to be in a good mood today, so they curiously asked him if he had discovered anything.

Fang Jingxiao nodded, "Axi told me this morning that something good will happen."

"Who is Ah Xi?" Everyone was wondering. Is this person's word accurate?

Fang Jingxiao smiled slightly, "The big magpie on the tree in the Yamen."

Everyone was a little speechless.

Fang Jingxiao pointed to the Plum Blossom Arena not far away, "I've told you everything about flying in the sky and swimming in the water. It will be up to you three to perform. There are many people today, so don't lose."

Zhan Bailin, the three of them closed their eyes and twisted their faces - how is that possible!

After a little preparation, the time came. The drums on the referee's boat on one side of the field were beating loudly, and the crowd watching the game also became noisy.

With the sound of a gong.

Players from both sides jumped onto the plum blossom pile.

As soon as the players from both sides appeared, the crowd immediately became excited.

Lu Yuelan, as a guest invited by the Chamber of Commerce, announced the start of the game between the Suiran team and the Qinglong team.

Everyone looked towards the court, and there were young men in their twenties standing on both sides of the net.

The Blue Dragon team wore soft armor. Although it was gold, silver, and bronze, there was not much difference. It looked like a very neat team.

Among the three team members, Jin Jia has a strong body, is very tall, has dark skin, has a square face and squinty eyes, and looks a bit ferocious.

Xingjia is short in stature, has gray skin, and is slightly hunched over. He looks quite inconspicuous.

The man in bronze armor has thick eyebrows and a broad mouth, and his body is bigger than Zhong Lu of the He League team. He is like a mountain. When he got on the plum blossom pile, the pontoon bridge was dented.

Comparing the casual team on this side of the net, the three Zhan Bailin are all very similar in height and shape. The three of them wear ordinary casual clothes, red, white and blue.

From time to time, there were screams from the crowd watching the game, all praising the handsome team. These three stood on the plum blossom pile, who was watching the game?!
