Chapter 536 The game begins

Back at the mansion, William called, "How is it?" Did they choose their horses? ”

"I chose well, King's vision of choosing a horse is still good, he chose a bantam horse, my lord, the person who will choose this ** is likely to be not weak in riding."

"What's the use of not being weak in riding?" "You just have to make sure the horse doesn't make any unusual appearance for him to see before he comes on the field." ”

The next morning, William's phone rang, "Lord Duke, this time it's bad. ”

"What's wrong? What's wrong? "Since the game was held at his house, William hadn't gotten up yet," he said. ”

"King has just arrived, and instead of using last night's bantam, he has replaced it with another bantam, which may have been seen by him."

When William heard this, he was furious, "What did you do, didn't I say it?" Can't let him see before he plays, how did you get the drug?! ”

Just then, he heard what seemed to be the door opening on the other end of the phone, "Your Royal Highness the King, Prince." Hearing this, he hurriedly pinched the phone, his internal lines were discovered, and he was still uncomfortable on the phone? Immediately, he made another call, "Today's plan has changed, if there is no accident, someone should fall off the horse." ”

"Falling from a horse?!" The voice on the other side was surprised, "Even if you are fully equipped, you may cause casualties." ”

"It's hard to say if something unexpected happens, and it's just bad luck to have something like that in a game." With that, he hung up the phone.

When the time was almost up, the prince and king's car arrived, and three polo players were brought with them, the prince was still too young to play on his own, and then they were surprised to find that in addition to William, there were four more polo players. The traitor was discovered by the king, of course the duke did not know, when someone was staring at the king, he would definitely be aware of it, and when the time came, he would know who drugged the horse. However, according to the rules among the nobles, if the prince catches the traitor, the matter is already over, and the matter of the traitor does not need to be announced.

"Why, Your Excellency Duke, aren't you playing either?" The prince asked.

"Oh, of course," said the Duke, "I am the Duke of the British Empire, and I cannot compete with a commoner. According to aristocratic tradition, the status of the competitive people must be equal, theoretically, we polo players have noble status, and it is not suitable to play with the king, but the king is a guest after all, and the hospitality of the British Empire still respects the guest. ”

Hearing this, King smiled and said, "In this way, if it makes it so difficult for the nobles, this game can also be canceled, anyway, it is just for entertainment, and it is not an official game." ”

"Of course not," said the Duke, who had arranged it for so long, how could he let the king block it with a light word, "This is what Her Majesty the Queen meant, not only to compare, but also to record it." ”

"In that case, what are you waiting for, let's get ready to start, right?" King said, he was a little impatient, over there, the concert still continued, and it was not good that he, the head of the group, did not appear.

"Then begin," said the Duke, "I will judge with His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"Huh?" The prince spoke suddenly, "Is this the beginning?" This was a surprise to me. ”

"Accident?" The Duke wondered, "Does His Royal Highness the Prince still have any doubts?" ”

"In my impression, there must be bets on the Duke's polo match, why, not today?"

Duke William has bets on every polo match, but today's opponent is King, and he intends to let King fall on the field, and then the polo game will inevitably be terminated. In his subconscious, of course, there was no need to bet on the unending polo match, and he couldn't help but be a little nervous when the prince asked him this.

"Bets? Oh, I actually forgot to bet on this, yes, it should be a bet, so what to bet on? He didn't think about it at all, "Otherwise, I'll bet on my mansion, anyway, I have two, even if I lose, it's nothing." As for king, right? Let's bet Lee Hyo-ri to accompany me to dinner, and Kim Yoon-hee to accompany Yamaguchi Bo to dinner. This was the Duke's pretense of generosity, and in his eyes, the gap between the two bets could not be calculated, and the King would gladly agree.

"Oh, of course this can't be done," King flatly refused, "Lee Hyo-ri and Kim Yoon-hee are just members of my group, and I have no right to decide on their private activities, so please ask Your Excellency the Duke to change your request." ”

"What?! None of this? The Duke felt a little unable to contain his anger, although he didn't think that this bet would take effect in the end, but it also represented his face, his mansion was not as good as those two women to eat together? Tens of thousands of times more valuable than those two women themselves, right?!

"yes, that won't work, if I have to bet, I'll change it to another one - what about the shares of the Tren Company in my hand? There are about 20 million shares, which is equivalent to approximately 1% of the total share capital. ”

The muscles in the duke's face twitched, this thing was the most exciting thing for him, you know, this thing itself is worth hundreds of millions of euros, but this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is to be eligible to join the board of directors with a 3% stake, and it is quite important to be able to be on that board as a person who depends on the Tren family for survival. Over the years, the duke's idea has only managed to get 1% of the equity, if he has this 1%, it will be one step closer to his dream, so the duke nodded subconsciously.

"Then it will be as agreed," said the prince, "and now the game begins," he said, stretching out his hand and inviting the Duke to sit down, and the two of them were to act as referees.

But the duke, though he agreed, was on pins and needles, and he very much wanted his players to abandon their plans and win a good battle and win the shares. However, it seemed to be late by this time, and the king had already put on his gear, mounted his horse, and was ready to fight.

The ball was placed in the middle of the field, the distance between the two horse teams was equal, and the prince gave the order, and the game officially began.

Prince William is an extremely intelligent person in the British royal family, and he already knows from the duke's unusual behavior that the other party intends to play tricks in the ball game, and the conversation just now can be regarded as a reminder to the king. And King, of course, knows better, if the Duke doesn't plan to use special means, he doesn't have to use the trick of "Fake Transmission of the Holy Decree", he must be determined to win, so King's spirit on the player is even greater than the ball, Rao is so, he gave everyone a surprise at the beginning.

First of all, let's talk about the choice of horse type for both sides, and in general polo matches, the horse chosen should be a bantam. One is that the bantam is short and easier to hit the ball, and on the other hand, the bantam is less explosive, but it has enough stamina. Different from horse racing, in a polo match, the speed of the horses can not be even, and the physical consumption is very large, in this game, the prince team, including the king, all chose bantam horses, but the Duke's team, which did not plan to wait until the end of the game, used all the tall horses, and they played just auxiliary activities.

At the beginning of the game, the explosiveness of riding a tall horse is strong, and the chance of touching the ball first must be higher than that of a bantam horse, but after the referee gave the order on the spot, it was not the players of the Duke's team on the opposite side who took the lead, but the king on this side, and his horse was very fast.

"How is this possible?" The duke said with a gloomy face, "Your Royal Highness, that horse can't be a medicine, right?" ”

"You can check when this game is over," said the prince, "but I would like to remind you of your Excellency, when the king came to my house yesterday, told me a common sense, that is, the game of polo was first invented by the Mongols, and I think you know the relationship between the Mongols and China." ”

The duke's complexion changed, which was equivalent to telling him that King would play polo, which might be very good, which was beyond his expectations, but then he was relieved that today's so-called polo game was not a game, at this time the king had reached the edge of the ball, and the opposite side was only three steps away, everyone raised the stick together, but the goal was different.

(Furious at Hiroshi Yamaguchi's tragedy, Duke William decided to take a shot at King on the court, but he was hesitant about the content of their bet.) Once the game begins, King takes the lead and targets the polo in the middle of the court, but the Dukes' players target him. )
