Chapter 404 My Big Bird Is Invincible!
"Tsk~"
The Eighth Prince saw the two eunuchs on the opposite side mumbling something and started to perform juggling, and smiled disdainfully.
"Nonsense!"
He naturally knew what the other party was planning.
After all, the Eighth Prince was much more familiar with A Xiang than they were.
It was nothing more than planning to use A Xiang's weakness of small strength to break their defense.
But since the Eighth Prince dared to use A Xiang as his trump card, he naturally would not have considered these weaknesses that might be targeted.
"Xiao Mizi!"
The Eighth Prince called out.
"Come on!"
On the court, the Eighth Prince's attendant responded happily, then stood on horseback and put his hands on his waist.
The Eighth Prince did not waste a moment, and immediately kicked Xiao Mizi's body, and the whole person soared into the sky, then turned around and used a crescent-shaped scimitar kick to hit the flying ball.
With such skills, it can be seen that the Eighth Prince is also a Cuju master.
The ball was kicked high into the opposite field by him, and it drew a long arc upwards.
Even with the Eighth Prince's skills, there was no way to accurately aim at the goal in the previous situation, and he could only clear the siege.
But even so, this kick shocked everyone in the stands.
"This old Eighth..."
"As long as it is related to toys, there is nothing he can't do."
The eldest prince shook his head and sighed, and was also amazed by the Eighth Prince's kick.
Relying on the opponent's shooting trajectory to intercept the ball in the middle, this is not something that ordinary people can do.
This is not just a matter of strength, but also requires considerable experience.
The goal of Cuju is set in the air, with only a narrow eye.
In such a large stadium, it is not easy to quickly determine the trajectory of the ball.
"It seems that this is the talent of the Eighth Prince."
The Fourth Prince could not help but say on the side.
The Sixth Princess curled her lips and said unconvincedly: "It's just a broken Cuju."
At the same time, the two eunuchs of Xiaodouding were shocked to see that their combined skills could not achieve success.
"Not good!"
They saw the ball flying higher and higher, and their hearts were alarmed.
They had suffered a loss before, so they naturally knew that Axiang would take this opportunity to launch another attack.
Therefore, the two of them followed suit and tried to block the Eighth Prince by using the force to jump into the air.
But the Eighth Prince deliberately kicked the ball into the sky, and the trajectory of the ball was completely different from their previous shots, just running high.
Although the two eunuchs of Xiaodouding were also warriors, they were not immortals who could fly in the clouds, and even if they used the force to jump high, there was a limit.
Moreover, because their strength was not as good as that of the Eighth Prince, and their tacit understanding was not as good, the height they jumped was not even as high as that of the Eighth Prince.
It was simply a foolish dream to want to touch the flying ball at this level.
The Eighth Prince had expected this situation long ago, and with a confident smile on his face, he adjusted his body and landed.
Xiao Mizi came to the feet of the Eighth Prince tacitly, raised his hands and gently pushed upwards to relieve the Eighth Prince's force, and rolled on the ground at the right time, letting the Eighth Prince fall, and taking advantage of this to relieve the impact of the Eighth Prince.
The cooperation of the two eunuchs on the opposite side was much worse.
Because the eunuch who jumped up was not high enough, he could only watch the ball pass over him, and then A Xiangfei jumped into Fengliu's eyes, scoring another point.
The eunuch who jumped up was only concerned with jumping up, and when the upward momentum disappeared, he began to panic.
Even a martial artist with cultivation could not stand his own confusion.
He danced in the air, lost control of his body for a moment, and began to fall freely.
"Lift up, lift up!"
The eunuchs below shouted anxiously, reminding the eunuchs who fell to the ground to perform Qinggong and stabilize their bodies.
But people were in a panic and their reactions were slow. Even if someone reminded them below, they could not react. They just looked at the ground getting closer and closer, and kept getting anxious.
"Ah, stay away from me!"
The little bean shouted in panic, looking at the living people falling from the top of his head, hiding everywhere.
But no matter how the little bean hid, he felt that the person above his head was hitting him.
He ran three steps to the left, and then retreated two steps, and found that he could not escape, and he was so anxious that his face was broken.
"Your Highness, be careful!"
The eunuch who stayed on the ground shouted, looked at his companions who fell, gritted his teeth, and immediately jumped into the air and kicked.
"Ah——"
Accompanied by a long scream, the eunuch in the sky was kicked away by his companion, flew out of the field, and crashed directly into the flowery eunuch who was in charge of the refereeing on the sidelines.
The flowery eunuch turned his body to the side with an expressionless face, dodged the person coming, and then coldly took out a yellow card.
"Malicious attack on the referee, yellow card warning."
"Three warnings, immediate defeat."
The little boy was so frightened that he was held by another eunuch and had no time to react and protest.
The eunuch had a guilty conscience and naturally did not dare to say anything to the eunuch in flowery clothes.
The field was surrounded by stands, where the nobles of the palace sat. Only the referee's side was safer, and he had deliberately kicked there before.
The eighth prince saw that they not only scored another point, but the opponent was also so flustered, and he laughed and said:
"My trick is not something that everyone can learn."
The eunuch who was kicked away groaned and climbed up from the ground, limping when he walked, obviously he was seriously injured.
"You, are you okay?"
The eunuch who kicked the man away hurried over to support him.
The two looked at each other in silence, and for a moment they didn't know what to say.
After a while of silence, the person who was kicked was the first to say: "I'm glad that your highness is fine."
But Xiaodouding was not happy, and ran over and scolded loudly:
"Is this what you call a 'chance to win'?"
"Whose chance is it?"
Xiaodouding was furious, and his face turned red with anger.
These two people almost killed him on the field with their actions. How could Xiaodouding not be angry?
The two eunuchs looked bitter, and could only continue to coax the young master.
As for this game...
Alas, let's not talk about it.
Just like that, the game continued.
In the following time, Xiaodouding's team was brutally abused by the eighth prince. In the first half alone, they were kicked 26 to 0.
In the end, Xiaodouding couldn't stand it anymore, and gave up before the start of the second half.
Therefore, the eighth prince became the first winner in the second round.
After watching this game, the others also looked solemn.
It was because Axiang was too powerful. The Eighth Prince only needed to kick the ball into the sky, and Axiang would do the rest.
Seeing that Axiang's attacks were so accurate every time, he obviously worked hard and trained for a long time.
"Old Eight's Saker Falcon is really well trained."
This time, even the eldest prince couldn't help but show envy.
For those who like to tame animals, having such a tacit partner is simply a dream come true.
"Big brother, fourth brother."
"How should we deal with Old Eight's bird?"
"If you can't think of a way, let him win this time."
The Sixth Princess saw that the Eighth Prince won so easily, and she couldn't help but say anxiously.
"The advantage of high altitude is indeed difficult, but it is not unsolvable. After all, the goal is there, and the Fengliu Eye is so small, so you can send someone to guard the goal."
The Fourth Prince analyzed calmly.
"But in this case, won't there be one less person on offense?"
"That bird can also defend well, so the stalemate will at most be a draw."
The Sixth Princess felt that according to the Fourth Prince's personality, it was impossible that this was the only way to deal with it.
As expected, the Fourth Prince smiled slightly and talked to them about other things.
"Do you still remember the rules of the game?"
The First Prince and the Sixth Princess both showed a thoughtful look, not knowing which rule the Fourth Prince was talking about.
And the Fourth Prince did not keep it a secret, and then said:
"One of the rules of the game does not allow players from both sides to have direct contact."
"This should be to prevent the Cuju game from turning into a fighting game."
"But people cannot have direct contact, but the ball can have contact with people."
"There is nothing wrong with their solution just now. Although the Eighth Prince's Saker Falcon is agile and has the advantage of flying, it is light and has little power."
"As long as there is a fatal shot, it can be completely solved."
The Fourth Prince narrowed his eyes, and a cold light flashed across his eyes that was hard to ignore.
The eldest prince and the sixth princess looked thoughtful when they heard this.
The sixth princess thought about it and sighed:
"Alas, I'm afraid that Lao Ba won't give us this opportunity."
"If he flies into the air to intercept the attack like before, then there is no way to deal with the bird, right?"
The fourth prince did not feel the slightest impatience with his sister's question, and continued to explain slowly:
"If he can intercept it, then let him intercept it."
"Ah?"
The sixth princess did not expect the fourth prince to give such an answer, and thought she had heard it wrong.
"No matter who receives the ball, we succeeded."
"Even if Lao Ba has good ball skills and can perform several difficult interceptions, sooner or later he will not be able to hold on."
"It's better if he can't receive it, just get a point directly."
"Sixth sister, I have studied today's schedule before. You and I will play against Lao Ba before the semi-finals today."
"It would be best if we can beat him, but even if we lose, we must exhaust him as much as possible and prevent him from reaching the semi-finals."
"The rest, my brother will take care of it."
After hearing these words, the Sixth Princess blinked her eyes and fluttered her beautiful eyes. It took her a long time to react.
But she didn't want to show that she was late to the party, so she just nodded slightly and sat aside quietly, looking like she was watching the game seriously.
After seeing her sister's reaction, the First Prince and the Fourth Prince smiled at each other, but they tacitly didn't expose her.
I'm afraid the Sixth Princess still needs to digest it before she can understand what the Fourth Prince said.
"I didn't expect that the Eighth Prince would give us such a headache one day."
The First Prince and the Fourth Prince lowered their voices and continued the conversation.
"The Eighth Prince was not bad, but he just didn't want to work hard."
The Fourth Prince smiled slightly and said to the Eighth Prince who was proud of his fate.
"I'm afraid that the incident with his mother back then left a deep impact on him." The First Prince also sighed.
He found that none of his brothers and sisters were happy.
Only the little ones were still at the age of being carefree, but they could not enjoy such a time for many years.
Born in the royal family, they always mature too quickly.
One day, the lively and cheerful brothers and sisters suddenly looked like little adults, and lost their innocence.
This kind of maturity usually comes suddenly.
"I think Concubine Qin Shu also left something for the eighth prince at the end, otherwise he would not have been making trouble until now."
"The idea of becoming a free and easy prince is almost written on his forehead."
The fourth prince shook his head, and seemed to disagree with the eighth prince's approach.
"Isn't the name of his courtyard written on the surface?"
"Thanks to this, at least those young brothers and sisters have lived happily in the past few years."
"When we were that age, there was no smile on our faces."
The eldest prince looked at the little ones nearby, and there was a trace of envy in his eyes.
As a result, the fourth prince snorted coldly when he heard this: "Old Eighth entrusted his fate to others and relied on the kindness of others. This is cruel to himself."
"How foolish!"
The eldest prince looked at the fourth prince in surprise. It was rare to see him so excited.
At this time, the sixth princess, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly pointed to the field.
"Look, Ankang is coming up."
The eldest prince and the fourth prince ended their chat and looked at the field together.
The team of Jingyang Palace wore neat uniforms and stepped into the Cuju field to warm up.
At this time, the other two games of the second round had not yet ended.
But because the eighth prince won in advance, a field was vacated.
Princess Ankang felt a little nervous and wanted to go up to adapt to the field.
Li Xuan and Yu'er naturally had no objection.
After getting the consent of the referee on the sidelines, the three little ones came to the vacant Cuju field and started to move around.
Seeing the three little ones were so leisurely as if they were on a spring outing, the Sixth Princess warmed up in front of everyone and couldn't help but grit her teeth and said:
"You're so conspicuous, wait and see how I'll deal with you later!"
Since the last time the Sixth Princess failed to defeat Princess Ankang, which led to the loss of the three siblings, she has been blaming herself.
Especially when the Sixth Princess was knocked unconscious by Princess Ankang, she couldn't remember the details of the time, but only remembered that the scene was very tense.
She, a dignified eighth-grade warrior, couldn't defeat Princess Ankang, who had no cultivation.
The Sixth Princess has always been ashamed of this matter, and even though her two brothers comforted her many times, they couldn't let her let it go.
Princess Ankang didn't know what the Sixth Princess was thinking, and she started practicing passing the ball with Yu'er.
There was a cat in the team of Jingyang Palace, and many people in the audience cast curious eyes.
After all, the Eighth Prince, who was the only one to bring a trained animal to the field before, had already taught everyone a good lesson.
Therefore, everyone wanted to see what kind of killer move Princess Ankang, who won the animal taming competition, could use.
But Princess Ankang's black cat looked ordinary. Except for its shiny fur and the fact that it looked well-fed, there was nothing special about it.
Especially since the cat was now yawning lazily with its mouth wide open.
"Ah Xuan, catch the ball."
Princess Ankang suddenly passed the ball to Li Xuan, but the ball hit Li Xuan's head hard, causing him to stagger and even his half-yawn was knocked back.
The people who were secretly observing Li Xuan were stunned and couldn't help muttering in their hearts:
"That's it?"
They didn't realize that the ball that hit Li Xuan's head flew accurately to Yu'er's feet.
