Finally, Yue Fei was nurtured into a famous anti-Jin hero of the Southern Song and became his successor.

Unfortunately, Zhao Gou, this odd teammate, only knew how to indulge in pleasure, and Zong Ze, having been coldly treated for a long time, succumbed to illness, with a poisonous sore growing on his back.

On July 29, 1128, the last day of Zong Ze's life.

Lying on his deathbed, Zong Ze spoke not a word about family matters; his words were all about his unending obsession with the Northern Expedition.

He called out three times, "Cross the river! Cross the river! Cross the river!" and then passed away, at the age of 70.

Just like a supernova that cannot completely illuminate the night.

Although Zong Ze exploded with the brightest light of his life, he still could not change the declining fate of the nation.

All he could do was to use his heart's blood to make that humiliated history a little less dark.....

Thinking of this.

Xu Yun's chest heaved heavily a few times, and after forcing himself to calm down, he said to Zong Ze:

"Mr. Rulin, this junior's name is Wang Lin, courtesy name Xiaochun, a guest at Duke Zhao's Mansion, and I've heard the master mention your great name."

"Duke Zhao?"

Zong Ze stroked his beard, recalling briefly, and said:

"Could it be the Crown Prince's Grand Protector, Su Song, Su Zirong?"

Xu Yun nodded:

"Indeed."

Only then did Zong Ze show enlightenment, feeling somewhat emotional, he said:

"So, it's Mr. Zirong's guest. Back then, I had several encounters with Mr. Zirong, and I didn't expect that after years, Mr. Zirong still remembers me, this Door God."

Then Xu Yun thought for a bit and asked:

"I once heard the master mention that Mr. Rulin seemed to be serving in an official capacity in another region. May I ask why you are in the capital today?"

Hearing this, Zong Ze shook his head with a gloomy expression, not saying a word.

What Xu Yun did not know.

More than two years ago, Zong Ze had served as the County Magistrate of Quzhou Longyou, with remarkable achievements, and by the rules, he should have been promoted one rank.

However, he had offended Wu Chuhou before, so in the end, he was only transferred back to the capital, receiving a lateral transfer to Lai Province Jiaoshui, continuing as a County Magistrate.

And it is precisely because of this.

He came to Ju City today to watch the soccer match, originally thinking to relax, but did not expect to witness a defeat.

And just at this moment as Xu Yun and Zong Ze were chatting.

A burst of angry shouts sounded again from the surrounding stands.

Xu Yun followed suit and looked towards the field.

As expected.

3-0, the score obtained through high pressing.

Seeing this situation.

Feeling hopeless, Zhang San finally couldn't hold back.

He clenched his ticket tightly, leaned forward passionately, charged his right hand to make a fist, and shouted along with the surrounding crowd:

"Damn it, refund!"

......

"Damn those sly Capital Army, they play terribly!"

By the fence outside Ju City.

Zhang San kicked a stone aside, full of resentment, following beside Xu Yun, muttering endlessly:

"Conceding six goals, it's shameless, I reckon even the girls in the brothels are better than them!"

Not long ago.

After letting in the third goal, the Capital Forbidden Army team completely lost their fighting spirit.

In the remaining time, they were seized upon by the Western Army, who scored another three goals through Ball Head.

This supposedly strong duel between the armies ended with a 6-0 score.

In fact, Zhang San's frustration was not purely because he lost six cents.

As a substitute level servant at the Su Mansion, that was at most just a night snack for him.

He engaged in some bets before the match purely for more fun, to make the process a bit more thrilling.

But to have multiple goals conceded on their home ground was very displeasing to Zhang San.

Given today's performance, when next year's various Cuju competitions come around, the Capital Forbidden Army team will likely end up at the bottom again.

Compared to Zhang San beside him, Xu Yun's mood was not so complicated and appeared indifferent.

Firstly, he had no emotional attachment to the Capital Forbidden Army team, and secondly, because he was more focused on Zong Ze...
