The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 304

As he spoke, he launched a flying kick, the ball flying straight into Feng Liu's eye, and Zhu Jinming was knocked down.

The crowd cheered, and soon the rain intensified.

Xu Tian was somewhat worried that if the rain continued like this and the competition continued, the students might be in danger.

Both Fang and Du shared this concern, and at this point the score was already 3-0.

Chu Liuyun was leading by three points when Zhu Jinming suddenly tilted his body and then scored a point with a flying kick with his left foot.

Hongwen Academy erupted in cheers, and Xu Tian was about to stand up and stop the match.

The vice dean of Bailu Academy walked over and said, "Is Master Xu afraid that Bailu Academy will win this football match? Chu Liuyun of Bailu Academy is a football master."

Unexpectedly, no sooner had the vice dean of Bailu Academy finished speaking than Zhu Jinming scored another goal. Chu Liuyun immediately shook the rain off his head and let out a hearty laugh.

"I didn't expect that all the students of your Hongwen Academy are well-rounded in moral character, intelligence, physical fitness, and aesthetics. In that case, I won't hold back."

Zhu Jinming echoed, "Who told you to let me win?" Finally, the two resumed the competition.

By this time, the rain had turned from a drizzle into a downpour, and Zhu Jinming had managed to score two points in a row, tying the game with Chu Liuyun.

Just then, the ball flew over from the eye of the field again, and Zhu Jinming immediately raised his foot, slipped, and kicked the ball out of bounds.

With a single glance from the vice dean of Bailu Academy, the referee on the field immediately announced, "Zhu Jinming of Hongwen Academy has committed a foul."

The students from Bailu Academy immediately scoffed, "Letting you fight with our Chu Liuyun for so long is already letting you win, and you still won't give up! You insist on falling down before you'll end the match."

"Exactly! If Liu Yun hadn't intentionally made him lose, he probably wouldn't have gotten a single point and would have lost long ago."

"Don't say that. Hongwen Academy is quite good. It's raining so hard today, let's find a place to take shelter quickly."

Meanwhile, Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling were invited by the steward to Feixue Pavilion to take shelter from the rain. At this time, all the students in the field had already taken shelter from the rain, but Zhu Jinming was slumped on the martial arts field, motionless. Everyone thought that Zhu Jinming had suffered a blow, but they did not know that he seemed to have broken a bone in his fall.

At this moment, Zhu Jinming was squatting on the field, clutching his stomach, when Xu Tian walked over.

"Zhu Jinming, are you alright?"

Zhu Jinming raised his head, his small face full of pain, and said, "Master Xu, I didn't lose the game on purpose. Just now, I was playing on the field when I suddenly got a stomachache. I stumbled and fell, and it seems like I hurt my left leg."

Xu Tian immediately said, "Quickly call the school doctor over."

Then two students carried Zhu Jinming on a stretcher into the school clinic.

Soon, students from Hongwen Academy gathered at Zhuangyuan Building.

"I never expected that we would lose to Chu Liuyun in this round! We won the last round, then drew in the middle round, and now we've lost again. If we lose two rounds in a row, then the situation for our Hongwen Academy will be very bad."

Seeing everyone's morale waning, Zhang Yunlie and Gu Zhihuai said, "Don't worry, even if we lose this match, we're still here for you."

As they spoke, the two stood up.

"How could such a wonderful Cuju match be without a commentator?"
