Chapter 524: Brutal Collision

"Good shot!"

The dying prince sat up in shock on the sidelines, and clapped loudly.

Li Xuan and Yu'er also followed suit to applaud Princess Ankang, clapping non-stop.

But the applause of the three people seemed a little empty in the huge stadium without spectators.

The players on the court and the attendants off the court were all in a daze, and they did not react for a long time.

Even Duke Hu was stunned, looking at Princess Ankang in doubt.

Compared with the previous Chongyang Banquet, he obviously found that Princess Ankang's strength had reached a higher level.

What's more terrifying is that Duke Hu could not feel any martial arts skills from Princess Ankang at all.

"This is called weak and sick since childhood?"

Thinking of other people's comments on Princess Ankang at the last Chongyang Banquet, the veins on Duke Hu's forehead jumped.

Looking at his silly grandson who only knew how to sit on the ground and applaud, Duke Hu was furious.

Duke Hu walked directly behind the Eighth Prince, then hit him hard on the head, and cursed:

"You kid are still addicted to being a spectator, right?"

"Get up and play football!"

The Eighth Prince was hit so hard that tears came out of his eyes.

This was an instinctive reaction under severe pain, and even he couldn't control it.

"Oh——"

The Eighth Prince stretched out the tail tone and got up from the ground reluctantly.

However, when he passed by Duke Hu, his eyes were inevitably full of resentment.

After all, he was kicked so badly on the Cuju field today, all thanks to his grandfather.

"What are you looking at?"

Duke Hu waved his hand, and the Eighth Prince was scared and ran away.

At this time, Princess Ankang found that the whole field was silent after she scored.

Although she was puzzled, she still raised her hands and shouted to her teammates:

"Great~~~"

Princess Ankang's little face was flushed due to the intense exercise, and she was painted with the most natural blush.

Such a delicate little beauty, showing such a lovely posture, how can people not be full of love.

Especially Jiang Ying and others who were hit by this attack, their heartbeats couldn't help but speed up a few points, and their chests were warm, as if they were about to melt.

"Princess, Princess..."

"You are so great!"

Jiang Ying said sincerely, and others nodded one after another.

Princess Ankang thought that her teammates were praising her ball skills, and she showed a proud and cute smile, which made everyone stunned.

Jiang Ying and others passed the crowd and rushed to Princess Ankang to celebrate for her, chattering and asking many things.

"Your Highness is so amazing, do you play Cuju often?"

"Your Highness is so flexible, you must be very good at it?"

"I didn't expect you to be so strong at such a young age, you must have practiced very hard."

"We are also good at Cuju, I wonder if we will have the opportunity to learn from you in private in the future."

The four female generals on the same team surrounded Princess Ankang and asked her all kinds of questions.

If they were not concerned about Princess Ankang's identity, they would have touched Princess Ankang's little face.

The other two young male generals were isolated and could only watch.

The two of them were not idle, they actually analyzed the difficulty of Princess Ankang's ball just now.

They seemed to have some disagreement and started arguing.

"Bullshit, it must be a backspin ball, do you even need to ask?"

"Hongchui Bridge is full of backspin balls, you don't know anything about Cuju."

"You are the one who is talking nonsense, the ball just now was upside down, it must be kicked in the opposite direction."

"You are talking to me about Cuju, can you use your brain first?"

After listening to the two people's argument, Li Xuan felt speechless.

"The focus of men and women is too different..."

At this time, the Eighth Prince saw that the team atmosphere was very good, so he wanted to fish in troubled waters and mix into the celebration team.

The two young generals arguing on the periphery did not notice the Eighth Prince, but when the Eighth Prince wanted to get close to Princess Ankang, he found that he couldn't do it at all.

He found that he couldn't squeeze into the encirclement of the four female generals from anywhere, so he could only nod and cheer on the periphery.

As a result, the Eighth Prince didn't say anything, but he was discovered by Jiang Ying as soon as he spoke.

Jiang Ying saw that the Eighth Prince, who had pretended to be dead for a long time, dared to appear again, and even got close to them, so she immediately wanted to secretly deal with him.

"General sister, please stop bullying my mynah bird, okay?"

"Is he about to be kicked silly?"

"I don't want a silly mynah bird."

Princess Ankang said pitifully.

Seeing Princess Ankang pleading for the Eighth Prince, Jiang Ying and others immediately softened their hearts, and felt that Princess Ankang was sensible and well-behaved, unlike some irresponsible and shameless people.

In the end, Jiang Ying did not make things too difficult for the Eighth Prince for the sake of Princess Ankang.

At least she no longer played dirty tricks like before.

It was impossible to get Jiang Ying to show any good face to the Eighth Prince. Several people collectively treated the Eighth Prince as a transparent person and chose to ignore him.

But even so, it was enough to make the Eighth Prince breathe a sigh of relief, at least he didn't have to look at everyone as enemies as before.

Seeing that Jiang Ying and others had the possibility of working together, Princess Ankang immediately boosted morale and prepared to win today's game first.

No matter what, at least let the Eighth Prince and Jiang Ying get off to a good start or slowly ease their relationship.

Others were naturally aware of Princess Ankang's intentions, but no one blamed her. They even thought that she was considerate and kind, and that she was considerate of her good-for-nothing brother who was holding him back.

But the Eighth Prince didn't care about this. As long as no one kicked him anymore, he would be happy.

"Hey hey hey..."

The Eighth Prince was still happy, but the other side had quietly kicked off the ball.

The ball suddenly hit the arms of the giggling eighth prince.

"The ball is in my court!"

The third prince who kicked the ball shouted viciously.

The Eighth Prince reacted immediately and kicked the ball away.

But no matter how fast he moves, he can't prevent disaster from happening.

The man on the other side had already charged towards the Eighth Prince with a ferocious expression. He looked like he didn't react and bumped into him with his head.

The Eighth Prince turned around and ran away, but someone stronger than him tackled him first.

A group of people rolled into a ball, and finally a group of figures rolled out of the field and went straight to Hu Guogong's feet.

Hu Guogong raised his foot to stop the "ball", looked at the eighth prince whose face was covered with footprints, and clicked his tongue and shook his head.

He then casually pushed the "ball" aside without caring.

The twelve young generals on the field were carefully selected by Duke Hu, who specifically asked them to "take good care" of the eighth prince.

Since the Eighth Prince wants to assume responsibility again, he must gain the trust of these people.

My grandson, Hu Guogong knows it best.

The Eighth Prince does not have the ability to convince people.

In this case, we can only let him taste the pain and integrate into the army in this down-to-earth way.

Otherwise, once the wrong tone is set at the beginning, I am afraid that even with the support of Hu Guogong, the Eighth Prince will not be able to truly win the hearts of the people.

At that time, there will be hidden dangers.

After all, there is still someone in the army who is eyeing the human resources in their hands.

Hu Guogong looked at the third prince who was working in harmony with his teammates.

There is no doubt that the third prince, who has a distinguished family background and has worked in the military for many years, is the biggest threat to the eighth prince.

During the years when the eighth prince was slacking off, the third prince never slacked off for a single day.

Although the third prince has never made many great achievements, his years of hard work have finally paid off.

At least from now on, many people in the army still agree with the third prince.

With Princess Ankang's outstanding performance, she also received intensive attention from the opponent. She was guarded by someone at all times. Sometimes there were even two or three people surrounding her, not giving her a chance to catch the ball.

Although Jiang Ying and the others were not weaker than their opponents, they had no choice but to lack one person to cooperate, so they were inevitably at a disadvantage.

Princess Ankang's previous goals not only relied on her strong own ability, but more importantly, she caught the opponent off guard.

But now that she has been strictly guarded, it is no longer easy to have such a good opportunity.

Gradually, the disadvantage of having fewer players became more and more obvious. In the end, the eldest prince and the third prince found an opportunity and cooperated with their teammates to equalize the score.

"nice shot!"

The ball passed through Fengliu's eye, and the eldest prince and others roared and fist-bumped in celebration with their teammates, with high momentum.

In contrast, Princess Ankang's morale was inevitably hit.

"hateful!"

Jiang Ying cursed.

She wanted to show off in front of Princess Ankang, but the score was equalized instead, which made her very angry.

But no matter how angry Jiang Ying was, it was still difficult to close the gap in strength.

She couldn't help but glance at the eighth prince who was lying at Duke Hu's feet, with a look of disdain on his face.

"If it weren't for that trash..."

"Sister Ying, we did not provide support just now." Someone still said a fair word for the eighth prince.

"Hmph, it's not my fault that he's a waste. He can't even outrun others."

The others fell silent and didn't say anything more.

The sisters who are close to them all know what happened between Jiang Ying and the Eighth Prince, and they can completely understand Jiang Ying's attitude towards the Eighth Prince at this time.

But at this time, when she saw Princess Ankang approaching, Jiang Ying also put away her bad attitude and felt a little guilty.

Princess Ankang was being defended just now, and they all saw it.

Princess Ankang was still not used to this kind of direct confrontation in Cuju competition, and she immediately fell into a disadvantage in several physical confrontations.

The person responsible for guarding Princess Ankang is the only female general on the opposite side. She is very powerful and has obvious fluctuations in true energy.

Princess Ankang can rely on her own strength to fight against the opponent several times, which has made everyone admire her.

"Your Highness, I'm sorry..."

Jiang Ying was trying to take responsibility for their incompetence, but was interrupted by Princess Ankang with a smile:

"Sister General, I have a plan that may work."

"Would you like to give it a try?"

Several young generals looked at each other, but they didn't expect Princess Ankang to be in such a good mood, so they couldn't help but nod in unison.

"If we continue to play like this, I'm afraid we will lose."

"But if we can persist for a while, we may have a chance to win."

"This matter also requires the help of several general sisters and general brothers."

Listening to Princess Ankang talking about her sister and her brother, several people in the team were immediately confused and just nodded their heads.

Next, Princess Ankang asked Jiang Ying for advice on physical confrontation methods, and Jiang Ying was not stingy.

"Your Highness, use your back as a shield and protect it between your opponent and the ball."

"You can also use your hands to keep your balance in the confrontation and resist the opponent's movements."

"As for defense, you have to do the opposite."

"Don't give the opponent a chance to reverse the shield and switch from defense to offense."

"In simple terms, don't give the opponent a chance to turn around and hold the ball."

"As for grabbing the ball, as long as the first kick touches the ball, it's easy to grab!"

Princess Ankang nodded secretly and wrote down these key points.

While Jiang Ying was teaching, she was also a little curious about Princess Ankang's strategy.

As a result, Princess Ankang actually said:

"Everyone, we will defend strictly in the next period of time, and wait until the last opportunity to use surprise troops to lock in the chance of victory!"

Princess Ankang waved her little fist and said it convincingly.

"But where does this surprise troop come from?"

Several young generals looked at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

But at this point, they could only do their best, at least they didn't want to lead Princess Ankang to lose too badly.

"Your Highness, we will form a defensive formation later."

"The formation requires practice and coordination, and it cannot be mastered immediately."

"How about letting Your Highness attract defense outside the formation to relieve our pressure?"

In the end, it was Jiang Ying who helped to perfect Princess Ankang's strategy.

To this, Princess Ankang naturally nodded repeatedly without objection.

The game continued, but the scene became dull.

Just as Jiang Ying said, they tried their best to defend, without even the slightest desire to attack.

There was only one person left to guard Princess Ankang, but the ball didn't come to them at all.

Duke Hu curled his lips, a little disappointed with the situation in front of him.

He looked at the eighth prince who was motionless under his feet and shook his head silently.

In this anxious situation, Princess Ankang smiled and was confident and calm.

The female general on the other side who was responsible for guarding her looked at her a few more times.

In this situation, the eldest prince and the third prince were not in a hurry at all.

As the saying goes, if you defend for a long time, you will lose. There will always be a chance.

Even if Jiang Ying and others were lucky enough to defend until the end, the situation of the game was enough to determine the winner.

Anyway, it was just an exchange match. There was no prize for winning and no punishment for losing.

They just needed to complete the exchange match according to the requirements of the imperial edict.

When everyone accepted such an ugly situation and let time pass by bit by bit, Princess Ankang, who was yawning out of boredom, suddenly pointed outside the court and exclaimed in surprise.

The female general who was guarding Princess Ankang subconsciously glanced in the direction pointed by Princess Ankang.

As a result, when she retracted her gaze, Princess Ankang's figure disappeared.

The female general turned back suddenly, but only saw Princess Ankang's running back.

"Oh no!"

The female general didn't have time to think about it, and jumped up to chase Princess Ankang.

As a result, the female general watched Princess Ankang perform her not-so-subtle Qinggong and run at an astonishing speed.

"What kind of Qinggong is this!?"

The female general was so surprised that she could only shout a warning:

"Be careful!"

The other players who were attacking with all their strength heard the warning and looked back in confusion.

At this time, the third prince happened to be holding the ball.

He heard a strange sound of breaking through the air behind him and was immediately confused.

"This speed can only be achieved by a kicked ball?"

"But the sound seems to be more muffled."

The third prince turned his head slightly and was about to see what was going on. As a result, a strong force suddenly came from behind him, and then he felt his feet began to fly uncontrollably.

As luck would have it, the ball under his feet was as motionless as a rock for some reason, tripping him and causing his body to spin rapidly.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

Everyone was stunned for a moment as they watched the third prince, who was running straight towards Fengliuyan, leaving an afterimage.

They just saw Princess Ankang perform a brutal collision on the third prince, and then the third prince took off.

Princess Ankang, who had dribbled the ball, didn't care where the third prince was going to fly. She turned around and kicked the ball, shouting:

"Shoot out the surprise soldier!"

The third prince and the ball flew out to the left and right, and everyone didn't know which one to look at.

But what puzzled everyone even more was who the surprise soldier in Princess Ankang's mouth was?

After all, everyone in the stadium was crowded in this half of the court.

The eldest prince, who had no interest in the rapidly spinning third prince and only stared at the ball, suddenly reacted and ran after the ball while shouting to his teammates:

"Stop him!"

With the eldest prince's reminder, everyone realized that a figure ran out from the feet of Duke Hu and ran straight to the landing point of the ball.

It was the eighth prince who had resurrected.

The eighth prince gritted his teeth and sprinted, but his strength was not good enough, and the distance between the two sides was rapidly shortened.

At the critical moment, the Eighth Prince threw his body out directly, opened his legs like scissors, and then fiercely cut the ball falling in the air.

"The surprise troops have arrived!"

"Deadly scissor kick!!!"

Bang!

Bang, crackle, ah ah ah...

The Eighth Prince was fatally intercepted, and the muffled sound and screams were endless.

But the Eighth Prince still kicked the ball at the last moment, and let the ball pass through Fengliuyan smoothly.

Of course, the third prince didn't have such a smooth journey.

His head got stuck in another romantic eye, and he swayed in the wind like a sunny doll.

Jiang Ying and others looked at the third prince on their heads, and they were all speechless.

The third prince was much more miserable than the eighth prince with just this one blow, right?

And everyone couldn't believe that it was the lovely Princess Ankang who bumped into the third prince.

Princess Ankang was not aware of the good thing she had done, and even opened her arms happily and cheered:

"Successful operation!"

On the other side, the eighth prince saw that he had kicked the ball in, and he also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alas, I didn't expect to sneak attack twice in a row."

The eldest prince shook his head and sighed, his tone full of helplessness.

The other teammates saw that the eldest prince was still able to maintain his demeanor at this moment, and they couldn't help but admire him.

Although it was the first time to meet this eldest prince, everyone was deeply impressed at this time.

Only the Eighth Prince said to him in displeasure:

"Big brother, can you get off me first?"

The Eighth Prince was speechless about the First Prince who stood on his belly to show his grace.

"Hey, Old Eighth, how did you get under my feet?"

The First Prince was surprised, but he didn't move his feet.

"Can you get off first so we can discuss other issues?"

The Eighth Prince was beaten all day today, but he was not as angry as he was now.

"Why didn't you say it earlier? If you had said it earlier, I would have gotten off earlier!"

The First Prince gestured with his hands, but didn't move his feet.

The Eighth Prince was so angry that his face turned red.

The several young generals standing nearby immediately understood and turned around. They didn't look at the dispute between the two princes, and silently surrounded them, isolating them from the outside world.

But after a while, these young generals ran away in fear.

The eldest prince was quick to sense something was wrong. He looked up and saw Princess Ankang rushing towards him. He immediately jumped three feet away and fled.

"Ugh!"

"Li Xian, you fucking remember this!"

The eighth prince retched, and the next moment he felt his body lighten and was picked up.

"My dear, are they bullying you?"

The little Princess Ankang picked up the eighth prince with one hand, looking like a big sister who was going to stand up for him.

Princess Ankang immediately made a head-butting gesture, and the eldest prince in the distance was so scared that he quickly called out:

"Hey, stop messing around!"

"Duke Hu has announced that the game is over."

As the eldest prince spoke, he walked to Duke Hu's side in two steps.

Duke Hu looked at the eldest prince beside him and asked in confusion:

"Do I have it?"
