Greenery on the back

Chapter 7 2030 World Cup Qualifiers
Wang Lan wiped the sweat from his forehead, recalling the tragic situation of the soldiers carrying the Wei army in his dream, he couldn't help sighing:
"Brothers, you have sacrificed your life for your country and lived and died heroically. What face do I have to live in the body of others!"

Wang Lan thought to himself, in the current era, the Four Books and Five Classics that he had learned before had long been useless, and the "machine guns" and "missiles" described in the encyclopedias were far better than fists and kicks.

Even if he used Yue Feng's body to live a new life, he would still be like a useless person.Since this is the case, it is better to follow the brothers who backed the Wei army.

Thinking of this, Wang Lan secretly made up his mind to die.

When eating breakfast, Yue Feng's mother felt distressed when she saw her son's face was gloomy.She didn't know that the other party was about to commit suicide at this moment, and thought it was just post-traumatic syndrome or something.

Since his head injury, his son seems to be a different person, and he really doesn't know when he will return to normal.

Yue Feng's mother packed up the dishes, carried the satchel on her back, arranged several medicine bottles brought back from the hospital on the dining table, and pressed the note with the instructions on the bottom of the bottle.

When she was alone in the house, Wang Lan began to think about ways to commit suicide.He groped for a long time, finally found a skipping rope in the bedroom, and pulled it hard. The rope was strong and durable, especially suitable for hanging.

Wang Lan looked out of the window again, wondering which crooked-neck tree in the community was the best.

At this moment, the window reflected the medicine bottle on the dining table, and Wang Lan couldn't help but be fascinated by it.

"My body belongs to Yue Feng's young man. His mother is kind and loving. After I die, his mother will never see her living son again. I have to wait for his mother to come back and kowtow for Yue Feng before leaving."

After thinking about it, Wang Lan put down the skipping rope in his hand, "And Tang Chuan, I have to say goodbye to Yue Feng..."

Wang Lan has been sitting at home until the afternoon.When he saw Tang Chuan again, he was carrying a big schoolbag and half a watermelon, opened the door of Yue Feng's house, and trotted in.

Tang Chuan was in a hurry and went straight to the living room, yelling: "Oops! Oops! The match between the Chinese team and the South Korean team!"

He frantically turned on the TV, completely ignoring Wang Lan who was walking over, and pressed the remote control to quickly switch to AV5.

"There is not much time left for the Hua Guo team."

The familiar voice of the CCTV commentator came from the TV, and the screen showed that the game had reached the 75th minute and the score was 0-2.

"Smelly, stinky, stinky!" Tang Chuan was about to throw the remote control to vent his anger when he suddenly remembered that this was not his home.

He turned his head to look at Wang Lan with an indifferent face and said, "You say I'm also cheap, knowing that the national football is playing like shit, yet I have to lick my face to watch the game."

Wang Lan spread his hands, expressing that he didn't quite understand Tang Chuan's words.

Tang Chuan took out a notebook from his schoolbag and began to write on it.Wang Lan turned around and went back to the room to take out a few dictionaries, and sat on the sofa in the living room.

Through encyclopedias and dictionaries, Wang Lang has a certain understanding of the machine "television".Seeing on the screen, two teams were vying for the white ball that was very similar to the Juqiu last night, so he asked Tang Chuan, "What are they doing?"

"Play football!" Tang Chuan pointed at the TV and said, "The one wearing the red jersey is the Hua Guo team, and the white one is the South Korean team. They are playing a match, the 2030 World Cup Asian qualifiers."

"2030?"

"It's the year of AD. You don't even forget how to write the numbers, do you?" Tang Chuan had no choice but to write down the seven Chinese characters "[-] AD".

This year name is quite big, Wang Lan sighed secretly in his heart, he wanted to know how far away it was from his own dynasty, so he wrote down: "How many years ago is the Song Dynasty?"

"Song Dynasty?" Tang Chuan was very surprised why the other party paid so much attention to the affairs of the Song Dynasty. "About 1000 years." Tang Chuan gave an approximate number.

Wang Lan was a little confused. He came to this era inexplicably from 1000 years ago, and he didn't know which god cast the spell.

"It's 2030?"

"No, it's 2028. 2030 is the year of the World Cup. Now it's the qualifiers."

After Tang Chuan finally explained what the World Cup was and what the qualifiers were, he turned his gaze back to the TV screen. A mistake made by the Hua Guo team's defender just now was almost scored by the South Korean team.

"Who are we playing against?"

"South Korea."

"Korea...could it be Goryeo?" Looking at the similar faces of the two contestants, Wang Lan pondered over the word "Han" carefully, guessing that South Korea was the country of Goryeo in Song Dynasty.

"Hmm." Tang Chuan was so focused on watching the game, he didn't write this time, but just nodded.

"Gaoli..." Some memories in Wang Lan's heart began to emerge.

It was the sixth year of Song Gaozong's Shaoxing. Jin Zhigui, the envoy of Goryeo, landed from Mingzhou with his credentials and prepared to meet the emperor.However, the court suspected that he was a spy of the Kingdom of Jin, so he sent someone to reject the mission's request to go to Lin'an.

Wang Lan was also among the officials sent by the imperial court.

There was a member of the Korean mission called Cui Yongjiu, who was about 27 or [-] years old at the time, and he hit it off with Wang Lang at first sight.

The imperial court bestowed some treasures and asked the Korean mission to return on the spot.In the Mingzhou embassy, ​​Cui Longjiu once asked Wang Lan in private: "General Wang, why does His Majesty the Emperor not allow us to have an audience?"

"The officials probably don't trust Korea so much anymore." Wang Lan answered truthfully.

"Korea has always regarded the Kingdom of Jin as an enemy, and it is only because it is so close that it cannot become its vassal. If His Majesty the Emperor doubts Korea, then our plan to attack the Kingdom of Jin from both sides will fail?"

"I have no way of knowing the imperial court's plan." Wang Lan sighed, "However, the Kingdom of Jin has a lot of ambitions, and I am afraid that it will annex Korea sooner or later. After Cui envoy returns to the country, he will have to advise the monarch not to relax his military equipment."

Cui Longjiu looked at Wang Lan, his eyes were slightly red, "How can a small border country resist the army of tigers and wolves! If Jin Guo conquers Korea, I am afraid that we will all become ministers of subjugation."

Wang Lan felt a pain in his heart. After Jingkang, isn't the Great Song Dynasty also on the verge of subjugation?He thought for a moment, then took a ball from the side and asked, "Can envoy Cui know how to kick this ball?"

Cui Yongjiu didn't understand why the other party would ask such a question, so he replied: "This ball is often played in Korea."

"My little brother is not talented, but he is quite good at Cuju. I will teach you how to play Cuju these few days." Wang Lan handed the ball to Cui Longjiu, and said seriously, "Cuju was used for military training in Han Dynasty. It’s just been passed down from generation to generation, but now it has become a game. I accidentally discovered the ancient Cuju training method, which I can teach Brother Cui now.”

Cui Longjiu was overjoyed when he heard that the other party was going to teach him how to train soldiers, and he readily agreed.

In the next few days, Wang Lan and Cui Longjiu practiced playing football together until the time of parting.

"This cuju training can strengthen the soldiers' physique, and secondly, they can be disciplined and skilled in formation. When Cui envoy returns to Koryo, he will have the opportunity to let the soldiers practice it, which will be of great benefit to resisting the Jin Kingdom."

"Thank you, General Wang," Cui Longjiu thanked again and again, "I hope that when we meet again, my younger brother can play this ball with the general!"

However, since then, Wang Lan has never seen Cui Longjiu again.Four years later, he followed Yang Zaixing's Beiwei Army to Xiaoshanghe.

"Defender! The defender steals it!" Tang Chuan's hoarse shout woke up Wang Lan, who was deep in memory.
