The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1356

Chapter 1356: 658 Complete Victory (Two More Chapters)_3

The fourth match began, and the competing parties were Songshan Academy and Zilin Academy.

These were two academies with formidable cuju strengths, almost evenly matched, playing with a lot of technical content.

There wasn’t the kind of scene that would make jaws drop; it followed the usual conventions, with both sides making minor infractions and suffering a few penalties.

The expressions of the spectators were a bit confused.

It was amazing, but there was something off—what was going on exactly?

In the stand opposite, the Duke looked as if he had just endured a terrible ordeal and was finally relieved.

Miao Ruoxin found it strange. If the horse made him uncomfortable, why not just stop looking? Yet he kept watching intently.

Although that horse was indeed quite eye-catching.

Now, the Duke’s gaze remained fixed not on the cuju field below but... the stand opposite?

Opposite were the teachers and students of Pingyang Academy and Tianqiong Academy.

Who was the Duke looking at?

Mu Qingchen?

A minor incident occurred during the seventh section of the fourth match when a cuju player from Songshan Academy claimed to have been hit on the back of the hand by the opponent’s stick, which the other side denied. The referee ultimately judged the cuju player from Zizhu Academy to be at fault.

Songshan Academy scored on the penalty shot, and the teams were now tied, thirteen to thirteen.

The final rest period.

"Who do you think will win?" Mu Chuan asked.

Yuan Xiao said, "Zizhu Academy, I guess. Their offensive is more aggressive."

Zhao Wei said, "But they keep fouling. That’s the third penalty they’ve had."

Gu Yan spoke up, "Songshan Academy lied."

Yuan Xiao and Zhao Wei were both startled. "Really?"

No sooner had they spoken than a herdsboy who had gone to the attic for water hurriedly came up, "Not good! Songshan Academy and Zizhu Academy have started fighting!"

Conflicts during matches weren’t really uncommon throughout history, and since everyone was just sitting around, they might as well go to the attic to see for themselves.

It was by coincidence that the herdsboy was there and was able to promptly bring back the news, as the rest of the people near the stand were still unaware of the situation.

The teacher from Pingyang Academy was puzzled—why had everyone gone?

Chancellor Cen, Xiao Jingkong, Gu Yan, Su Xue, and Mu Chuan were left here.

Mu Chuan was tasked with keeping an eye on Su Xue and Xiao Jingkong.

When the group reached the attic, the two sides were fighting fiercely, and the guards couldn’t even intervene.

Just when everyone thought the matter was over, the fierce fighting had caused repeated impacts on one of the walls in the back hall, and the wall, unable to bear the strain, finally collapsed with a bang! _{freewēbnoveℓ.com}
