Zongwu: Madam, please respect yourself

Early in the morning, when the sky was still bright, Sun Ran ran over excitedly.

She pulled the sleepy A'Zhu and rushed into Wu Gong's room.

Wu Gong was sitting cross-legged on the bed practicing Qigong.

Since solving the reserved task of the Giant of Corruption, Wu Gong has entered a state of semi-reclusion.

Most of the time every day, the infuriating movement of the Great Zhoutian and the Small Zhoutian is constantly going on.

The time agreed upon by the Finger of Peace is getting closer and closer.

Wu Gong needs to make sufficient preparations, and the most important thing is to improve his own strength.

However, Ping Yizhi has not been here for several days. Wu Gong helped A'Zhu change the medicine these days.

Wu Gong suspected that Ping Yizhi was dead, so he asked Sun Ran to inquire about the news. He was relieved when he found that he was on duty at the Tai Hospital as normal every day.

Ping Yizhi is pretty good against Wu Gong.

Not only did he save A'Zhu, but he also gave him so many poisons and Taiyi Qi-nourishing Technique.

Wu Gong doesn't really like to owe favors.

If conditions permit, it is not impossible to help the other party.

Of course, if the situation becomes more dangerous then.

Wu Gong will not take action.

After all, favor is greater than heaven, and it is not as important as one's own life.

Slowly he opened his eyes.

Unexpectedly, I discovered that Sun Ran's outfit was particularly ordinary today, with light makeup on her face.

Just like an ordinary woman next door.

This was in sharp contrast to her usual gorgeous clothes.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"Today is the Cuju competition!" Sun Ran's face was filled with excitement, "Now that the imperial examination has ended, the Cuju competition that was originally postponed due to the imperial examination is finally about to begin!

This year can be said to be Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, as all states and governments have sent all their elite soldiers and generals here!

The winnings in the first round alone already exceeded 500,000 taels!

Today is the first day of opening. My brother, let’s go together! "

Wu Gong raised his eyebrows.

He has been practicing these days, although his Dantian and meridians are growing at a considerable rate every day, and he is taking in more and more Qi.

But as time goes by, it will inevitably become boring.

To be honest, he also wanted to go out for a walk.

But it's not like it outside.

This is Sun Ran's mansion, no one dares to come here to search.

You know, Qin Hui's adopted son, the guy who wanted to kill Sun Ran with a sword, was also imprisoned for half a year and was not allowed to leave his room.

This is the result of Qin Hui's plea to Queen Wu.

But it's very dangerous outside.

A'Zhu seemed to see Wu Gong's hesitation, rolled his eyes, and suddenly said with a smile: "If you really want to go out, you can actually disguise yourself. Your body looks like an ordinary teenager. I'll make you a little younger and let me be your mother. It shouldn't be a big deal to take you out."

"good idea!"

Before Wu Gong could speak, Sun Ran took the lead and affirmed, "The places we went to by carriage along the way are not accessible to ordinary people, so there shouldn't be any big problems!"

Seeing both of them saying this.

Wu Gong nodded.

He did feel a little bored during this time.

It's good to go out for a walk.

He has been here in Lin'an Mansion for so long, and he hasn't had a good walk around yet.

After all, this was the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty and the most prosperous city in the entire Southern Song Dynasty.

As a person from modern times, Wu Gong wanted to visit no matter what.

Otherwise, I don’t know when the next time will come.

While A'Zhu was disguising Wu Gong, Sun Ran went out to arrange the carriage.

Watching Sun Ran leave.

Wu Gong looked at A'Zhu who was smiling evilly, and posted it angrily: "It is said that women and villains are difficult to raise.

I just don’t know if A’Zhu is a villain or a woman?

You want to be my mother. It seems that the anger from last time has not gone away! "

"Hehe, I'm a little girl."

Wu Gong stretched out his hand and pinched her hard. A'Zhu's face suddenly turned crimson, and she half-smiled: "She's not young, how can she be a little girl?"

"Hmph!" A'Zhu rolled his eyes fiercely and said, "You are a brat, don't you know what I see in you?"

"Who knows? But I'm not little!"

After playing around for a while, A'Zhu's skills were not slow at all.

He quickly completed the disguise for Wu Gong.

Sun Ran has prepared the carriage.

The three of them no longer hesitated and, escorted by a group of guards, headed towards Jishanfang.

Cuju was a popular sport in the Song Dynasty, and was very popular from the royal family to the people.

He wrote: "When you raise your eyes, you will smile cleverly on the swing, and when you touch it, you will be wild and careless in Cuju".

Since fleeing south, there has actually been no Cuju competition for many years.

Therefore, the resumed Cuju competition this time naturally attracted the attention of everyone in Lin'an Prefecture.

However, it is different from folk Cuju.

Ordinary people were not eligible to participate in the Cuju officially held in the Southern Song Dynasty.

The participants were all teams sent by various state governments and royal palaces.

Every candidate who participates must undergo strict identity verification.

After all, many of the people who came to watch were royal relatives and nobles, and their safety was considered.

The identity of the contestants is naturally subject to strict scrutiny.

Of course, ordinary people have no way to participate in it personally.

But you can win a lottery.

Simply put, it is a bet.

It's just for the sake of being more elegant, so it's called a lottery.

The person responsible for management is Qiyunshe.

It's a bit like a football club.

"Qiyun" refers to kicking the ball so high into the sky.

Members of the Qiyun Club are divided into different levels in terms of their skills, with the highest level being called a captain.

In addition, women can also join Qiyun Club and compete in competitions. They can reach the highest level of school captain, but they are just called female school captains.

Members of the Qiyun Society could participate in Cuju competitions at the docks in various regions throughout the Southern Song Dynasty. As long as they had formal status, the local Qiyun Society must entertain them for free.

Sun Ran is also a member of Qiyun Society.

Of course, her rank is very low, far from the level of a female captain.

However, she was a guest of Qiyun Society in Lin'an Prefecture.

The reason is because Queen Wu is also an important member of Qiyun Society in Lin'an Prefecture.

Sometimes I will pretend to play a few games.

Sun Ran is her agent.

Sun Ran arranged for her to participate in the competition every time.

"This first round of competition is in Jishanfang, which has a dedicated school ground and is in the middle of a teahouse.

Guanganchun is my property. I have just sent people there to clear out the guests, and the entire teahouse is already empty.

In addition, the windows have been covered with white gauze, so we don’t have to worry about anyone finding us there! "

Sun Ran's attributes as a rich woman were fully demonstrated at this moment.

Wu Gong still hasn't figured out how much property she has.

All I know is that Sun Ran is one of the richest people in the entire Lin'an Mansion.

She has all kinds of shops, restaurants, teahouses, forging shops, textile shops, and even rice shops, grain shops, and medicine shops.

Of course, according to what she said, most of them were awarded to her by Empress Wu.

She was just helping Queen Wu take care of it.

It took about three quarters of an hour, and they finally arrived at Jishanfang.

In fact, Sun Ran's mansion is not too far away from here.

The reason why it took so long was because the Cuju competition was so popular.

The streets were almost deserted, and everyone crowded around Jishanfang.

Wu Gong finally understood why Sun Ran wanted to lead a team of guards.

It turns out that they were brought not for protection, but to drive away the crowd.

Entered the teahouse.

There was no one in the huge teahouse.

After they all entered the teahouse, the door of the teahouse was closed, and the guards were responsible for guarding them on the first floor.

But Wu Gong and the others climbed to the second floor.

The teahouse is designed with high ceilings. Although it is only on the second floor, it is seven or eight meters above the ground.

Standing at the window and looking out, you feel like you are at the top of the mountain and can see all the small mountains at a glance.

White fine silk cloth covered all the windows on the second floor of the teahouse.

People outside can't see inside through these white fine silk cloths.

But the people inside can see the outside clearly, as if they are wearing a white filter.

In the distance, on a school field separated by a wooden fence, two teams of players were warming up.

In the surrounding teahouses of similar appearance, the windows were also surrounded by white silk cloth.

There were only a few teahouses with dense crowds of people buzzing around.

The crowd downstairs was like sardines packed together.

The constant surge back and forth seems to be moving, but most of the time it is just standing still.

Hundreds of heavily armed soldiers and more than a dozen police officers with knives worked hard to maintain security at the scene.

But with little success.

The crowd was still pushing towards the edge of the school field.

The table is covered with pastries.

Wu Gong looked around and saw that they were all very delicate pastries that he had never seen before. He tried to pick up one or two and taste them.

Sweet and a little panicked.

Immediately not very interested.

"About when will it start?"

“There’s still half an hour left, and the wind is relatively strong during this period.

The Cuju played in the competition is relatively light and will be blown away by the wind.

Therefore, it must be at noon, when the sun is at its strongest and the wind is at its smallest, so that the results of the competition will be fairest. "

"Playing when it's the hottest time?" A'Zhu has never seen a few Cuju games since he was a child, because he spent most of his time in Yanziwu.

Murong Fu disliked this sport.

Therefore, basically no one in Yanziwu knows how to do it.

"They are all used to it, because most of them are at noon, so they also train at noon. Over time, they have become accustomed to the high temperature at noon."

The three of them were chatting when there was a knock on the door.

Sun Ran frowned suddenly.

Looking back, I saw a strange little head rushing in from the outside.

"Auntie, you are indeed here!"

The sound was clear and sweet, but it made Wu Gong suddenly pause and he didn't dare to look back.

Because the owner of this voice is none other than the tenth princess who had a close relationship in the palace - Emperor Changfu.

Sun Ran was obviously in a daze.

She quickly stood up and greeted him.

Seeing that the little girl was wearing casual clothes, she did not salute, but asked: "Your Highness, why are you here? Where is Your Highness the Queen?"

"Next door, my father and mother are here!

The Queen Mother asked me not to come over and disturb you, but I want to play with you! "

Now not only Wu Gong could not sit still, but even A'Zhu raised an eyebrow.
