Chapter 412: Competition
The skilful action of this light rider was exchanged for applause, and when he went down, the polo game was about to officially begin. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The two sides of this match are the Royals against the Coral team. Each team of seven people is divided into two games, and it takes a total of one hour except for the rest time.
The emperor was dressed in bright yellow race clothes, got off the high platform, turned over and got on the royal car.
The horse snorted, and immediately galloped forward after the emperor clamped his belly between his legs, the emperor held the reins in his left hand, held the club in his right hand, and his body was slightly ****, galloping towards the players on both sides. When he got closer, he saw that his body was almost oblique to a right angle, and with a force of his hand, with a "bang", the solid ball made of apricot wood flew up, and the players on both sides "roared" and ran towards the ball, and the people in the stands also cheered loudly.
The Emperor kicked off the game, then rode his horse around the field, and then got off his horse and went up to the high platform to continue watching the game.
The long-term nomadic life and grassland environment have formed many characteristic sports of the Hushan ethnic group. Archery, wrestling, horse racing, equestrian, and polo are all popular sports in Hushan.
This competition was opened by the emperor, which showed even more importance to the competition.
The players are like playing chicken blood, driving the horses under the crotch to chase the ball, they are not only excellent in ball skills, but also first-class in equestrian skills. On the pitch, control of the horses is no worse than on the battlefield, so people who can play polo well are so sought after.
Because it was a game watched by the emperor himself, the team was led by people with a head and face. Coral is led by the eldest prince Mu Dan, and the royal team is a young player who is full of curiosity from Lin Yu and Qing'er.
Doro is a very good general, his every action can arouse the admiration and pride of the women of the Doro family, in fact, even if there is no introduction from Concubine Yu, from this posture, Lin Yu should know who this person is.
"How does it look?" Lin Yu leaned slightly to the side, pressed it against Qing'er's ear, and asked in a loud voice.
Startled, Qing'er hurriedly glanced at the women of the Doro family who were only a few feet tall next to her, and seeing that no one noticed this, Fang nodded lightly, "It looks like the ball skills are very good." ”
"Who asked you about your skills!" Lin Yu said with a smile.
"It is said that the quality of the ball is like the character, there are so many rules of polo, he can abide by it well, and it will not be bad if he thinks about it."
I see, then this is a high affirmation. Lin Yu smiled, and continued to look at the field.
The game was not child's play, and the emperor himself watched the game, so the players fought very fiercely from the beginning. In less than half a quarter of time, the horse turned sharply and leaped, almost no worse than the equestrian performance at the beginning of the race, and everyone applauded.
At this time, the ball finally arrived in the royal half between you and me, only to see Mu Dan hanging upside down, and the ball entered the royal goal with a "snap" at a tricky angle, separated by the eight legs of the two horses.
"Oh! Oh! Even the concubines couldn't help but cheer, and the two stands belonging to the men were even more applauded and cheered.
Hu Shan admires people who have real skills. Together with the emperor, he laughed and nodded to Jing Hao, who was sitting next to him, as if it was not them who lost.
If this is in Tianzhe, the minister is the minister, and he can never be higher than the king. Even in such a game, the first ball had to be advanced by the Emperor's team. You can play well, but no matter how good it is, it will be worse than the emperor's people. If nothing else, just one sentence "the supremacy of imperial power" can be explained, this is something that must not be violated, this is the routine!
But this is not the case in Hushan, if you deliberately release water, you will be looked down upon. But if you go all out, even if you lose, no one will look down on you, but will respect you more. The arena is like a battlefield, everyone here is so serious, and of course, this is also the easiest place to sympathize with each other and gain friendship.
In this regard, Lin Yu really admires the people of Hushan.
With the Coral team scoring a point first, the teenager decided to take advantage of the joy of scoring while the opponent was immersed in the joy of scoring and pull one back as soon as possible. So, he hurriedly lined up his troops and commanded his own team.
"I heard earlier that the eldest prince is the soul of Coral polo, and this time I saw it, and it really deserved its name." Concubine Yu exclaimed.
Lin Yu didn't know anything about polo, this was the first time he had seen this, and he didn't even know much about the rules, so in order to avoid saying too much and making too many mistakes, he nodded with a smile and didn't say much.
Qing'er saw Concubine Yu looking at Lin Yu and herself, and knew that Lin Yu didn't understand this, so she said: "The eldest prince has liked these sports since he was a child, and when he played my memory, he was a good player among the children, and his skills in the horse were also high, and he was often appreciated by his father." As Mu Dan's own sister, even if the relationship between the two is not good, Qing'er still praises Mu Dan unabashedly.
Concubine Yu nodded, "It's really a tiger father without a dog." ”
Tuya sat a little farther away from Concubine Yu, but she still heard Concubine Yu's words, so she became more and more happy in her heart, and the smile on her face was even more, and when Mu Dan's cue touched the ball again, she even screamed, and the others were also upside down, and the eyes of the women of the Doro family were full of disgust anyway.
Women are different from men. Men watch the game, expect fairness and justice, pay attention to doing their best, and even if they lose, they are still honored. But women are different, women are short-sighted, whoever I like, he must win, although if the person I support wins, then don't blame me for looking at you unpleasantly.
The ball just now was snatched by Mu Dan from under the cue of Doro, so the women of Doro's family were even more resentful of Mudan, at this time they were worried about Doro's situation, but when they heard someone next to them cheering for each other, how could they not be disgusted?
The women in the stands, except for Lin Yu and the other five or six people who are Coral are Coral and the rest are the concubines brought by the emperor and their relatives, all of whom are fans of the royal team, so naturally they can't see Coral winning. When you shout when you score, everyone will endure it and think it's nothing, but this kung fu to grab the ball is also shouting, which is annoying.
Lin Yu pulled the corners of his mouth helplessly, and said that three women in one play, there are many women, and there are no fewer people who play tricks and exclude. She was already not very interested in the competition, but now she felt more and more bored.
Unlike this one, there are two other stands. Except for the stand where Jing Hao is located, because of the emperor's pressure on the formation, everyone looks quite civilized, and the grandstand composed of ministers and their families, many people have rolled up their arms and sleeves and shouted in support.
