"Brother Tuesday, will you go to the masquerade party at Roar Bar tomorrow?"
"Of course you go, aren't you talking nonsense?"
"Then what are you going to pretend to be?"
"This---hehe, let's talk about it then."
.......
Then the date of the masquerade ball got closer and closer, and the young men in the capital began to become impetuous. They were looking forward to it, but they were also worried, fearing that they would not be able to dress up well and win the applause of everyone, so now they can be seen everywhere
The young men gathered together in twos and threes to discuss the masquerade.
Li Qi, the organizer of this masquerade party, is now one of the top two. His purpose of holding this masquerade party is to reform, but Bai Qiannuo's words made him feel that this matter is not that easy.
, he is still not absolutely sure to convince Gao Qiu, but the masquerade is coming, and he has no choice but to bite the bullet and try his luck.
That afternoon, Li Qi and Ma Qiao came to Taiwei's Mansion carrying two baggage and some cakes. The doorman didn't recognize Li Qi, and seeing that Li Qi was dressed in ordinary clothes, he thought he was a servant of that noble family.
, asked: "Which mansion are you from?"
Which mansion? Hey, you are not very old, but you speak in a leadership style. Li Qi chuckled and said, "My Excellency, Li Qi, the guards and deputy commanders all said that they came here to visit the Taiwei today."
"Li---Li Qi, Li Qi from Zuixianju?" the doorman said in surprise.
Li Qi smiled and said: "Exactly."
"Please wait a moment."
The doorman immediately changed his expression and ran in quickly after speaking.
After a while, the dean of Taiwei's Mansion followed the porter out. The dean had taken people to Zuixianju to bring back Gao Yanei who was unconscious after drinking. He also recognized Li Qi, held his hands and smiled.
He said: "Deputy Commander Li, the Taiwei has invited me."
Li Qi returned the gift with his hand and said politely: "I'd like to introduce you to you."
The court master led Li Qi to the back courtyard. Suddenly he heard a burst of cheers and looked up. He saw twenty or thirty people standing in a large open space not far in front, and a group of people were playing Cuju in the middle of the open space.
, Gao Qiu was also among them, but he was wearing a soft gauze Tang scarf and a dark red robe. The front was tied up and tucked beside the gauze. He looked extremely handsome. Not only that, but Gao Yanei's fellow was also there.
, what is rare is that he finally did not wear a red flower today. He looked much more normal. In addition, there were some maids and idle men standing on the sidelines cheering and cheering, which was very lively.
Li Qi didn't dare to disturb them, so he stood quietly behind everyone and watched with great interest. Although Cuju was the most popular sport in the Northern Song Dynasty, he had been in the Northern Song Dynasty for so long that he had never really watched it seriously.
Others are playing Cuju. Gao Qiu is a big star in the Cuju world in the Northern Song Dynasty. It is really a blessing to be able to watch him play Cuju for free. Besides, there is Gao Yanei as a foil.
Suddenly I heard someone shouting: "Captain."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man kicked the ball towards Gao Qiu very elegantly with a move called Feng Zhi He. As soon as Gao Qiu bent down, he actually caught the ball with his shoulders. Li Qi was stunned for a moment and thought to himself.
.I’m afraid Argentina’s Messi doesn’t have this ability.
I also saw Gao Qiu arching his shoulders, and the ball flew high. When the ball fell, he raised his feet and caught it steadily. This was amazing. The little ball seemed to have a spirit under Gao Qiu's feet.
, like a butterfly piercing flowers, his feet are constantly rising and falling, and those who look at it are dazzled.
Japan. This guy is so crazy. No wonder Song Huizong loved him so much. He really has two brushes.
Li Qi couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Gao Qiu.
It was too late, but it was fast. Two men suddenly rushed up to grab the ball. Gao Qiu calmly hooked his toes and the ball passed over one person's head. He followed the trend and reincarnated, and then came a kidnapping meteor, shouting
: "Kang'er, catch it." The ball flew towards Gao Yanei quickly.
“Good kind.”
Gao Yanei raised his eyebrows, jumped up high, and struck the bow out with his head with a Buddha-headed bead. However, he saw the bow flying over everyone's heads and flying toward Li Qi outside the field with lightning speed.
Everyone present was stunned.
Damn it! How dare you, a high-ranking official, to plot against me? Do you think I don’t know how to play ball?
Li Qi was enjoying watching this when he suddenly saw the ball flying towards him. He immediately took two steps back, opened his hands, and used the Great Shift. He heard a bang. Everyone took a closer look and saw Li Qi holding his hands tightly.
He grabbed Ju tightly, with a proud smile on his face, humming, it seems that I do have the potential to be a goalkeeper. However, before he could become proud, countless disdainful glances were cast around him.
Seeing that Li Qi actually had a hand to catch it, Gao Yanei rolled his eyes, walked over, and said angrily: "Li Qi, Ju, that's not how you kick."
Sweating! What a familiar line! You must have come from time travel too.
Li Qi subconsciously said: "Then how to kick?"
This question made Gao Yanei a little confused, and he hummed: "It's not kicking with your hands anyway." He said that he picked up the handkerchief handed by the maid next to him and wiped his face, then picked up a glass of juice and took a sip, without any quality.
He burped, causing Gao Qiu, who had just walked over, to roll his eyes.
"I'm going to see you, Taiwei." Li Qi saluted.
Gao Qiu wiped his face with the handkerchief handed to him by his maid, and said with a smile: "Li Qi, how long have you been here?"
"Just arrived a while ago."
Gao Qiu glanced at Li Qi suspiciously and said, "You don't know how to play Cuju?"
Li Qi said sarcastically: "No."
Gao Yanei laughed and said: "Li Qi, you also have a day. I will definitely tell Xiaojiu and the others later."
Sweating! It seems that I am already an all-round nanny in their hearts.
Li Qi was very worried about Gao Yanei's IQ, and said with a smile: "I have promoted you too much, and I still have a lot to learn from the captain."
Gao Yanei tilted his head and said hehe: "Li Qi, you don't need to flatter my father like this. Besides, there are many people who flatter my father. Why don't you flatter me, hehe."
Day. This is your territory, I---I tolerate it.
Li Qi gritted his teeth and wished he could stuff the ball in his hand into this guy's mouth.
Gao Qiu glared at his son and said in a deep voice: "Kang'er, can you say a few words less?"
"Speak less, speak less."
Gao Qiu sighed helplessly. When Li Qi saw him, he expressed his sympathy for Gao Qiu's experience and secretly thought, if I had such a son, I would probably be so angry that I would bleed from all my holes.
Gao Qiu stopped looking at Gao Yanei. He smiled at Li Qi and said, "Li Qi, this is not a government office. You don't need to be humble here. How could a person who doesn't know how to play Cuju come up with such a good idea as a professional league?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Qiu suddenly raised his leg and kicked the ball in Li Qi's hand. The speed was so fast that it was jaw-dropping. Even Li Qi himself did not react, but Gao Qiu seemed to have miscalculated Li Qi's ability to catch the ball.
With such force, the ball flew to the side after flying out of Li Qi's hand.
Suddenly, a figure flashed out from behind Li Qi, and he rescued Ju with a move called Fish Picking on Dry Land, followed by a powerful version of Kidnapping Meteor.
With a cry, the ball turned into a meteor and shot directly towards the dragon gate standing diagonally above.
Hollow entry.
The scene suddenly became silent. After a while, bursts of cheers erupted. At the same time, everyone also focused on the unattractive man next to Li Qi.
This person was Ma Qiao. He had just seen that everyone despised Li Qi for not knowing how to play Cuju. Naturally, he was embarrassed and felt unhappy for a long time. It happened that Gao Qiu kicked Ju in front of him, so he didn't think too much. Following the trend.
It was just a kick, which was bound to earn some face for Li Qi. The only regret in his heart was that Lu Meimei was not there.
"Okay, good game."
Gao Qiu shouted, he just wanted to test Li Qi. He didn't expect to meet such a comfortable person, so he asked Li Qi: "Who is this?"
This guy really loves to show off. Li Qi obviously didn't understand Ma Qiao's good intentions and replied: "This is the subordinate's follower, Ma Qiao." As he spoke, he glanced at Ma Qiao and saw Ma Qiao still standing sideways and raising his head.
The posture of the deputy chief immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and he said hurriedly: "Maqiao, I haven't seen the Taiwei yet."
Only then did Ma Qiao react. He hurriedly bowed his hands and said, "Ma Qiao has seen the Taiwei."
Gao Qiu didn't seem to be displeased by Ma Qiao's rudeness, and he said: "Okay, okay, Brother Ma has good footwork. I wonder how many years you have been playing?"
Ma Qiao was stunned for a moment and said truthfully: "Actually, I only kick occasionally."
"Not bad."
Gao Qiu nodded with a smile, turned to Li Qi and said: "Li Qi, you have such a talented person, and you said you don't know how to play Cuju, so show me your skills and open my eyes."
Sweating! He can still ride a horse, and I can't ride either. Are these two things related? Li Qi is now riding a tiger and it's hard to get off. If it's football, he can still weigh it twice, but this time, he is really helpless and squeezed.
Squeezing away tears, he said: "Lieutenant, Xiaguan's family was poor when he was a child, and he had nothing to do except play in the mud. When he grows up---"
Where did this kid go? Gao Qiu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, raised his hand and said: "Forget it, forget it, I believe you." After a pause, he said again: "What do you want to see me for today?
"
"Dad, his little assistant always tells you that he will come to you for something. I think he must be here to play with me."
Gao Yanei suddenly came over and asked Li Qi: "Li Qi, am I right?"
This guy really can't speak. If he hadn't been a captain, he would have been beaten to death. Li Qi squeezed out a smile and said: "That's it, Yanei, your clothes for the masquerade party tomorrow are ready.
Got---."
When Gao Yanei heard this, his eyes lit up. Before Li Qi could finish his words, he said, "Really, bring it to me and have a look."
Li Qi winked at Ma Qiao, who immediately handed him the package in his right hand. Gao Yanei took the package and said, "Dad, I'll be back as soon as I go." After saying that, he walked away and walked quickly toward him.
He ran inside the house.
Gao Qiu shook his head, glanced at Li Qi meaningfully and said, "Isn't that why you came here?"
As a seasoned veteran, I could see at a glance that it was just a pretense.
Li Qi smiled coquettishly, but didn't know how to speak. Just when he was distressed, his eyes suddenly fell on Gao Qiu's belt. An idea flashed in his mind, and he made a plan. Hehe said: "Taiwei, although I don't know how to play Cuju
, but when I heard that the Taiwei was going to hold a Cuju competition, I thought that I had to do something. After thinking about it day and night, I finally figured out something that could push Cuju to a new level."
Gao Qiu had seen Li Qi's inventions before. When he heard what he said, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and said, "What a good thing it is? Come and show it to me." His expression was exactly the same as that of Gao Yanei just now.
It looked like he was really his own child. Li Qi smiled slightly, took another baggage from Ma Qiao, handed it over, and said, "This is a set of special clothes specially invented by the official for Cuju players."
"Special clothing?"
Gao Qiu was stunned for a moment, took a bundle, and sat on the chair next to him. He opened it and took out a blue dress with a round collar, long sleeves, no buttons, and no ties. It was narrower than today's clothes.
Much smaller.
Nowadays, most of the people present are good Cuju players. When they heard that the clothes were related to Cuju, they all gathered around. Seeing how weird the clothes were, they all whispered.
Gao Qiu picked up the clothes with both hands and looked at them for a long time. He didn't see any clues. He picked up the blue pants and looked at them again. The style was also very strange. As for what it had to do with Cuju, he really couldn't tell.
He couldn't help but ask: "Li Qi, you mean these strange costumes are helpful for Cuju?"
"Exactly."
Li Qi nodded, pointed his hand to the side of the person's abdomen, and said: "Taiwei, when you usually play Cuju, you must first tie up the sleeves, and secondly tie the front into the belt. The process is quite cumbersome, and today's trousers
The crotch of your pants is relatively large, so that when you lift your legs, you will encounter some obstacles. Actually, this does not matter much to some enthusiasts. But Taiwei is the leader in our Song Dynasty Cuju world, and his skills have been sublimated.
Only those who pursue perfection like Taiwei can reach such a state of uninhabited land. However, accidents are inevitable when playing Cuju. Especially when masters compete with each other, even a small accident will cause everything to happen.
A slight difference is a thousand miles wrong.”
Gao Qiu nodded frequently after hearing this. It was obvious that Li Qi's words were very useful to him. He smiled and said: "Although you don't understand Cuju, your insights are indeed to the point. Sometimes a small mistake can ruin a good match."
I've encountered it many times in competitions, but then again, won't accidents happen if you put on your strange costumes?"
"of course not."
Li Qi shook his head and said: "Captain, it is impossible to completely eliminate accidents. All we can do is to minimize the number of accidents as much as possible. I am not bragging, Li Qi, as long as the Commander wears my clothes
Playing Cuju with clothes is like adding more power to a tiger, and keeping it well can bring the Taiwei's skills to the fullest. Taiwei, maybe you don't believe it now, but I, Li Qi, dare to vouch for the personality of others. Taiwei only needs to try it once, and he will be able to do it.
Experience the beauty of it,"
"really?"
"Absolutely true."
Gao Qiu took a breath and saw that Li Qi was so sure. He pondered for a moment and said, "Is this what you brought here?"
Li Qi knew that Gao Qiu wanted to find someone to try it first, but unfortunately he only prepared one set. He nodded and said: "Well, this set was also rushed out overnight. As soon as I got it, I brought it to the Taiwei.
"
"You are interested."
"It should, it should." Li Qi said sincerely, feeling secretly happy that something was going on.
Gao Qiu glanced at that set of clothes and was indeed a little moved. He originally wanted to find someone to try it on first, but if it was just like this set, if it was as Li Qi said, wouldn't he have to wear it with someone else?
This was something he would never allow to happen. After some inner struggle, he finally decided to try it for himself. He stood up and said, "Li Qi, if these clothes are as good as you said, I will definitely reward you heavily."
"
Finally he took the bait. Li Qi smiled and said: "Please don't worry, Taiwei. Li Qi will never dare to deceive the Taiwei."
Gao Qiu nodded and said, "You guys wait here for a moment." As he said that, he took the clothes and went into the house.
After waiting for a while, Ma Qiao suddenly asked in a low voice: "Huh? Why hasn't Gao Yanei come out yet?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "That boy must have gone to find his woman at this time. It will probably take a while before he comes out."
Ma Qiao nodded and said, "It makes sense. If I were to wear new clothes, I would go to my junior sister first."
"Please, will you die if you don't mention your junior sister for a day?"
Ma Qiao shook his head and hummed: "Of course I will."
Li Qi was completely speechless.
After a while, I suddenly heard an excited shout from behind, "Kick the ball quickly." As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Gao Qiu running over wearing Li Qi's new clothes.
An idle man immediately kicked the ball over, and Gao Qiu stopped the ball with his chest. His whole body seemed to be glowing with a second spring, full of strength, turning, creeping, riding, kicking and twisting, bringing his superb football skills to the extreme.
, it is unreasonable to play alone.
"Wow! He's so handsome." Li Qi exclaimed in a very nymphomaniacal manner, but in his mind, he thought, does it look like a good fit? However, he really looks like a walk-on.
Ma Qiaotou shrank and said, "You are so hypocritical."
"Then why don't you join me in being hypocritical? This matter will affect my future destiny. Just think of the Taiwei as your junior sister now." Li Qi rolled his eyes at him and whispered.
Ma Qiao's eyes widened, he snorted angrily and said, "Don't even think about it."
"Brother Ma."
Over there, Gao Qiu became more and more excited as he kicked. He suddenly raised his leg and kicked the ball towards Ma Qiao. Then he ran towards the gantry. Ma Qiu immediately understood, jumped up, and made a mandarin duck in the air.
Kick the ball back to Gao Qiu.
"good."
Gao Qiu shouted excitedly and shot the ball into the goal with a head-on turn.
"good."
"The lieutenant shoots well."
Everyone applauded and cheered. Except for Li Qi, everyone in the audience applauded from the bottom of their hearts. This shows that Gao Qiu's skills are really impressive.
"Ha ha."
Gao Qiu laughed a few times and twisted a few times. He strode towards Li Qi and kept saying, "Yes, these clothes are really good, haha."
Needless to say, times are progressing. I will give you clothes from nine hundred years ago. Regardless of whether they look good or not, they will definitely be much more comfortable than the clothes today. Li Qi was secretly proud and complimented: "
Congratulations to Taiwei for taking another step forward in his golf skills."
"Haha. It's all thanks to you, baby."
Gao Qiu laughed excitedly and said, Cuju is his favorite, and his current status is all due to Cuju, so he naturally has special feelings for Cuju. He praised: "It's strange to say, I put it on myself
After wearing this set of clothes, my whole body felt much lighter. When I was playing Cuju, I felt as if I was one with the ball. It was so comfortable. And this clothes is also convenient to wear, which is good. It's really good, Li Qi, you
What a talent. I didn’t believe you wrong.”
"No, no, the captain has given me a reward." Li Qi smiled modestly.
Gao Qiu showed off a few poses again and jumped a few times. The longer he wore them, the more comfortable he felt.
Brother Qiu, show off to your heart's content, today you are the Beckham of the Northern Song Dynasty. When Li Qi saw Gao Qiu so excited, he knew that his job was almost done.
The idle men on the side were also very envious. They also saw Gao Qiu so excited, so of course they wanted to try it too.
"By the way, Li Qi, is this all you have now?" Gao Qiu suddenly stopped and asked.
Li Qi nodded and said: "Because I don't know if the captain will like it, so I only made one set of this style."
"Oh? So, have you done anything else?"
"Yes, I also helped Yanei, Xiaojiu and the others make a few sets for them to attend the masquerade party tomorrow. In addition, I also made one myself." Li Qi said with a smile.
"Masquerade?"
Gao Qiu narrowed his eyes and suddenly whispered: "The emperor seems to know about this."
"Well, the emperor also mentioned this matter to Xiaguan when he came to the palace last time."
Gao Qiu nodded, frowned, and sighed: "It's a pity that you only made one set, otherwise--"
Li Qi was ecstatic in his heart, Brother Qiu, you are so cooperative. He whispered: "Lieutenant, why don't you dedicate these clothes to the emperor?"
Gao Qiu nodded and said: "Yes, the emperor also likes Cuju, and now he also likes the badminton you invented. If I can present this dress to the emperor, the emperor will definitely like it. Long Yan is very happy, and he will naturally reward you."
That is indispensable for your benefit. Li Qi smiled and said: "Thank you, Taiwei, for your advice. I know what to do."
"Smart." Gao Qiu smiled.
It's time. Li Qi frowned and looked like he was thinking.
Gao Qiu also came up and asked: "What? What are you thinking about?"
Li Qi pretended to hesitate for a while and then said: "Taiwei, I suddenly want to do something. I wonder if it is feasible?"
"Please tell me first."
"yes."
Li Qi cupped his fists and said sternly: "Lieutenant, my Majesty is just thinking that these clothes are suitable for Cuju, and they seem to be good for marching and fighting."
Gao Qiu's eyes lit up, he frowned and said, "Keep talking."
Li Qidao: "Lieutenant, this clothes is simple in design, easy to put on and take off, and it is convenient and fast to move when wearing it. If this can be popularized in the army, it can greatly improve the combat capabilities of our army."
Gao Qiu nodded and was silent. After a long while, he said carefully: "What you said is very reasonable, but now the household is empty, and most of the money is used in the northern war. If we change the uniforms of all the Forbidden Army,
This is not a small amount of money, and although your method sounds feasible, it is still unclear whether it will work. If it does not work, the responsibility is not small. I think this matter needs to be considered in the long term."
Are you still planning a long-term plan? Brother Qiu, I don’t have time. Li Qi was very anxious, but what Gao Qiu said made some sense. He pondered for a moment and said: "Taiwei, do you think this will work? I will personally contribute a sum of money from the lower official, and we will
You can first select a camp for testing. If it works, we will gradually popularize it. If it doesn't work, it won't cost much money."
Gao Qiu thought for a while, looked around and said, "Let's go inside and talk."
Yes! God is helping me. I love Cuju so much.
Li Qi was secretly happy. As soon as he turned around, he suddenly saw Gao Yanei running over excitedly. He was dressed in black clothes and black trousers, with a white undershirt underneath. The whole body was modeled after the characters in "Shanghai Beach" who held
A thug who will die as soon as the ax appears.
"Ya Nei, this dress suits you perfectly." Li Qi said sincerely.
