The Emperor is Above

Chapter 75 Can I sell tickets?
"Good job, Zi Che Zhong Xing, run fast with the ball——"

"Go ahead and stop this savage Zi Che Zhong Xing—"

"Xilulu——"

"Haha, the ball goes in, another three points, Zi Che Sima is awesome!"

There was an uproar in the camp of the Left Division, with enthusiastic cheers and sharp whistles coming one after another.

The huge Zuoshi training ground had a baking pan-shaped field painted on the ground with white lime, and two teams of eleven people each were competing fiercely in the field.

Zi Che Zhongxing was wearing a full set of leather armor and a helmet and visor. His face, hands, elbows, hips, waist, hips, knees, legs, ankles and other key parts were further protected, making him look even more sturdy and majestic.

Hearing the cheers from his comrades around him, he made a winning gesture and soon led his teammates to attack again.

With his vigorous charge, the opponent's player, who was also a seventh-rank lower-armor soldier, was actually knocked several feet away. The opponent had to ask the referee for a substitute.

There were as many as five to six thousand soldiers of the Left Division watching around the venue. All of the soldiers of the Left Division who stayed behind in the capital were present. Even the captain of the Royal Guard Battalion Zhu Cheng and the captain of the Rear Battalion Luo Tao were watching with great interest.

As the coach, Ran You, with a dark complexion, stood excitedly on the sidelines, cheering loudly for Zi Che Zhongxing and other players on the field. Both teams had thirty or forty substitute players ready to go on the field at any time.

Qing Yi, together with the people from Huaiqiuli, Tun Shigu, Gongsun Wu, and Jiang Ji, all sat in the best seats, which was a courtesy for inventors.

"Wow, brother, you always have good ideas. You can do so many things with a ball!" Tu Shigu was so excited watching the game that he couldn't stop praising Qing Yi's intelligence.

"That's all thanks to Brother Shigu's great craftsmanship!"

Qing Yi responded with a smile, looking like he had everything under control, but in fact he almost made a fool of himself before.

He had planned to make the most familiar football to let the soldiers of Zuo Division vent their excess energy, but he forgot that this magical world is not short of strongmen.

Even the soldier who served as a squad leader in the left division was at least a ninth-grade strongman, with a physical strength of over a thousand pounds, and could tear a carefully sewn football to pieces with one kick.

If it was a team leader of rank eight strength, Sima of rank seven would kick with thousands of pounds of strength, and it would be useless even if it was made of the finest exotic animal leather.

After Che Zhongxing broke more than a dozen balls in a row, Qing Yi had to give up the idea of ​​developing football and had to choose the more confrontational sport of rugby.

Even so, there were regulations on the strength of the rugby players. Only seventh-rank soldiers were allowed to participate, and those above sixth rank were strictly prohibited.

When Qing Yi gave Ran You a football made of exotic animal leather, explained the rules of the game clearly, and drew a playing field, the soldiers of the Zuo Division, who had lost their life goals and were lost, soon fell into collective madness.

In just two days, rugby became popular throughout the entire Zuo Division Camp, and even received strong support and promotion from Zhu Cheng, the captain of the Zuo Division's personal guard camp.

Gongsun Wu, who had recovered from his injuries, also laughed and said, "This football is indeed a good thing to kill the soldiers' extra energy. It will probably spread throughout the capital in a few days. Look, the Eagle Guards are crowded on the corner tower over there to watch the game."

Following Gongsun Wu's finger, Qing Yi saw that the huge corner tower of the Flying Eagle Camp not far away was densely packed with hundreds of Flying Eagle Guards, who were nervously watching the fierce competition in the Left Division Camp and arguing fiercely about something. There were originally hundreds of huge falcons perched on the corner tower, but now they were all squeezed under the corner tower by the Flying Eagle Guards.

The remaining dozen or so falcon leaders were now pitifully squeezed to the corner of the corner tower, looking weak, pitiful and helpless.

Soon Qing Yi discovered that not only were the Flying Eagle Guards crowded on the corner tower to watch the game, but even the walls of the Right Division camp next door were also covered with Right Division soldiers watching the game.

Looking closely at the area around the Zuo Division's camp, every commanding point, including the high walls, roofs, and treetops, was filled with crowds of spectators.

These spectators included not only men, teenagers and children, but also many young women.

Some people forgot they were on the tree when they saw the exciting part and couldn't help clapping and cheering. As a result, they fell from the treetop in the blink of an eye, causing exclamations from those around them.

When Qing Yi discovered that the hundreds of feet high upper city wall was now filled with people watching the game, he couldn't help but mutter in a low voice: "Could it be that the Spring Ploughing Set didn't attract the king, but this unintentional move was more effective?"

At this moment, Gongsun Wu gently poked Qing Yi and hurriedly reminded him, "Shang Shuyi, Zhu Chengdu is here to see you!"

Qing Yi came back to his senses and turned his head, and saw that the captain of the Left Division's personal guard camp, Zhu Cheng, pushed away Tu Shigu, sat down and laughed softly:
"Brother Qing Yi, no wonder Ran You keeps praising you for your cleverness and ideas. This rugby match is really great. Our Zuo Shi is going to shine.

It not only allows the soldiers to train while having fun, but also allows them to vent their excess energy without causing the chaos of previous group fights. However, they did not expect that it would attract so much attention.

Just now, the right division's vanguard commander Luqiu Junming, the central army commander Gui Yan, as well as the central division's central army commander Mu Cangwu and the rear camp commander Bai Ze all sent people to ask, hoping that their soldiers could also learn it.

But I noticed that besides the Third Division, there were also many people watching from the Upper City. I guess the Royal Guards will send people over soon. Do you have any good ideas?"

Qing Yi said with a smile: "Both captains are thoughtful elders, and I believe they have their own mature ideas about this. I will simply make some additional suggestions.

Next, the captain can send people to teach rugby to the Central Division, the Right Division, the City Guards, and the Palace Guards, and then discuss with them to organize a league among the Three Divisions, the City Guards, and the Palace Guards..."

Zhu Cheng listened very carefully. He did not look down on Qing Yi at all because of his young age or low rank. After hearing the last part, he simply took out chalk and wrote down everything on a piece of wooden board.

"Okay, okay, if this league can be successful, you, brother Qing Yi, will be the main contributor!" Zhu Cheng patted Qing Yi's shoulder excitedly.

Tu Shigu stood aside with envy. He blinked his eyes and suggested, "If it's good, we can sell tickets. There will definitely be many people in the capital who are willing to pay to watch it."

Zhu Cheng's eyes now brightened even more. Rugby games can not only train soldiers, but also kill their energy and anger. If they can also generate income, it will be a great achievement in front of Lord Xing.

He didn't bother to say anything more, he put away the wooden board covered with words and left in a hurry. Qing Yi saw him say something to Luo Tao, the captain of the rear camp, and soon the two left together.

In less than an hour, hundreds of soldiers from the Right Division, Central Division, City Guards, and Night Guards, led by their respective captains, came to the Left Division camp to watch the game up close, as the first group of players to learn rugby.

Naturally, these people were received by the soldiers of the Zuo Division. However, when Qing Yi saw that the Flying Eagle Guards of the nearby Flying Eagle Camp also appeared in the Zuo Division’s camp, he couldn't stop smiling.
