Wu Chongxun lost several balls in a row, his brows became more and more frowned, and his face turned red.

The next moment, Wu Yanxiu stopped the ball from the bottom of Wu Chongxun's club, and Wu Chongxun's face was even more unbearable.

At this time, Li Chongjun happened to ride past Wu Chongxun, and Wu Chongxun didn't know whether he wanted to, and hit the leg of Li Chongjun's mount with a swing of his club.

Li Chongjun was caught off guard and rolled off his horse, and if it weren't for his agility, he would have almost been trampled on by a frightened horse.

More than a dozen servants rushed in from all over the field and set up Li Chongjun, but fortunately there was no major problem.

Li Bao'er saw Li Chongjun fall off the horse, and was about to run towards the field in a hurry.

Lu Xiaoxian grabbed her: "You don't want to die!" ”

Li Bao'er glared at Wu Chongxun viciously, eager to eat him.

Wu Yanxiu's face turned blue with anger, and she came over and picked up the cue stick and pointed at Wu Chongxun and shouted: "Secretly making a trick, what kind of manly husband are you!" ”

Wu Chongxun said strongly: "Who made the trick? Polo is dangerous, don't play if you don't dare to play! ”

When Wu Yanxiu heard this, she trembled with anger, and for a while she was furious, and her hand holding the reins clenched into fists.

"Don't dare to play?" Wu Yanxiu stared at Wu Chongxun, "If you have the ability, let's go head-to-head!" ”

After that, Wu Yanxiu proudly waited for Wu Chongxun's answer.

"Heads-up is heads-up!" In front of everyone's eyes, how could Wu Chongxun retreat.

"Good! One goal to decide the winner! Wu Yanxiu said word by word, "If you want to lose, you must apologize to Brother Jun!" ”

Wu Yanxiu stood up for Li Chongjun, which made Li Chongjun very grateful.

"I'm going to win?" Wu Chongxun asked rhetorically.

"If you win, I'll kneel down and kowtow to you!" Wu Yanxiu said without thinking about it.

"Good! Deal! Wu Chongxun turned his horse's head and went to prepare.

Wu Yanxiu patted the oolong colt under the straddle, and the horse followed him as he galloped across the horse farm like a friend.

The oolong pony hissed with its head held high, as if to tell its owner that it had never taken its opponent into account.

Wu Yanxiu and Wu Chongxun were each riding on horses, staring at each other face to face.

Wu Yanxiu pulled the polo under Wu Chongxun's horse, and he did it on purpose, which was equivalent to giving the opponent an advantage in controlling the ball first.

Wu Chongxun was not polite, picked up the polo and rode towards the goal.

Wu Yanxiu caught up with the horse and stretched out the pole to snatch the polo over. Wu Chongxun's polo skills were also quite successful, and he used all his skills to quickly grab Wu Yanxiu's polo again. In this way, the cheers of the onlookers rose higher and higher.

At this time, the ball has been controlled under Wu Chongxun's pole, Wu Yanxiu overtook Wu Chongxun, suddenly pulled back the horse's head, rushed from Wu Chongxun's left side, quickly fell sideways, held the pole in his left hand, pulled the polo from Wu Chongxun's belly, the polo passed through the two horses, and arrived on the right side of Wu Yanxiu, Wu Yanxiu quickly sat upright, changed the rod to the right hand, and then galloped, rushed to the goal with the polo, swung a blow, and the polo shot into the goal impartially.

This kind of trick generally cannot be used in a single fight, because once you miss, the rear becomes an empty goal, and the opponent will drive straight into it and win easily.

Wu Yanxiu used it very skillfully, probed the rod with a short body, and succeeded in one blow, leaving no more chance for Wu Chongxun, obviously ready to use this dangerous move to win.

Everyone watching in the audience opened their mouths wide, and they didn't react for a while.

It was Li Bao'er who reacted first and shouted at Wu Chongxun: "Hurry up and apologize to my third brother!" ”

With so many people staring, Wu Chongxun couldn't play tricks, so he had to hug his fist at Li Chongjun on the horse: "Brother Jun, I'm sorry!" ”

Li Chongjun nodded slightly, and accepted it.

Xue Chongjian stretched out his thumb to Wu Yanxiu: "Back to the golden hook, Yanxiu's trick can be described as a magic ball!" ”

After listening to Xue Chongjian's words, Wu Chongxun broke the club in his hand, threw it to the ground angrily, and rode away.

Didn't you lose a game, as for making such a big fire, everyone looked at each other.

Lu Xiaoxian hurriedly rounded the field and shouted loudly: "Tomorrow morning, when Guirenfang fights, in the afternoon, Shenshixing Jiaofang bows, don't miss the time!" ”

When Lu Xiaoxian spoke, he didn't notice Yang Si hiding in the crowd at all, and the scene that happened just now had already been taken into his eyes.

……

After Yang Si finished speaking cautiously, he waited for Wu Zetian's instructions.

Seeing that Wu Zetian was silent, Shangguan Wan'er suggested in a low voice: "Your Majesty, if you are worried about your safety, how about letting them change to donkey bow or step fighting?" "I love

Riding a horse is fierce and dangerous, you can do not ride a horse and change to ride a donkey, and riding a donkey to play ball is called donkey bow. Although donkeys sometimes have a stubborn temper and do not move despite being scolded, whipped, and kicked, they are ultimately more docile than horses.

What is more gentle than a donkey bow is to step and fight, simply give up the foot strength under the crotch and move your two legs. The palace ladies sometimes play on foot, which has a unique charm compared with riding a horse and playing ball. Since you don't need to ride a horse or donkey, it is much safer to walk on foot.

Wu Zetian shook his head: "This is not a way!" ”

After that, Wu Zetian asked again: "You said that tomorrow they will fight cocks and juju?" ”

"Yes! Your Majesty! Yang Si hurriedly replied, "That's what Gongzi Lu said!" ”

"He really has a lot of tricks!" Wu Zetian snorted coldly, and then instructed Shangguan Wan'er, "You go and arrange it, and notify them to go to the Guozi Academy's Guozijian in a few days, so that the sacrificial wine and the doctors can teach them the Five Classics, so that they can also collect their temperament!" ”

"Yes! Your Majesty! Shangguan Wan'er hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "What about Lu Xiaoxian?" ”

Wu Zetian groaned: "Let him go with him!" For everyone to read! ”

After listening to Wu Zetian's arrangement, Shangguan Wan couldn't help but look sideways.

Guozijian has six schools: Guozixue, Taixue, Four Studies, Law, Calligraphy, and Arithmetic.

The "Tang Liudian" stipulates that the official rank of the parents of the students of Guozixue must be above the third grade. Needless to say, Lu Xiaoxian is just a common man, and of course he is not qualified to study.

Wu Zetian made such an exceptional arrangement, which shows the importance he attaches to Lu Xiaoxian.

……

Cockfighting refers to a traditional entertainment activity formed by two chickens fighting each other by taking advantage of the aggressiveness of the rooster. The wind of cockfighting was formed in the Zhou Dynasty and flourished in Luoyang, the capital of the Han and Wei dynasties.

In Datang, cockfighting is the most popular entertainment. Not only among the common people, but also among the dignitaries, the royal family and nobles are also very popular.

Every Lantern Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Qingming Festival, and Mid-Autumn Festival, cockfighting enthusiasts from all over the world will be organized to participate in cockfighting activities to show that the world is peaceful.

The Tang Empire took Luoyang as its eastern capital, and the wind of cockfighting here was very prosperous, reaching the peak of the history of cockfighting.

During the Spring Festival of the third year of Qianfeng, King Pei Li Xian and King Li Xian fought cocks. As one of the "Four Masters of the Early Tang Dynasty", Wang Bo was Li Xian's attendant, and he wrote "The Chicken of the King of Ying" to crusade against the fighting of the King of England to cheer up King Pei. "The Chicken of the King of Ying" is a classic work of the pun, the article uses sentences neatly, and the words are beautiful, and many allusions are cited, so it is spread all over Luoyang.

After Gaozong read the article, he was furious: "Crooked talent, crooked talent!" The two kings fight cocks, Wang Bo, as a doctor, does not admonish, but makes essays, deliberately fictionalizes, exaggerates the state of affairs, and is a gradual cross-construction. ”

Gaozong believed that Wang Bo's article would lead to conflicts between the kings, so he issued an edict to depose Wang Bo from his official position and expel him from Luoyang.

At this moment, the cockfighting pit in Quy Nhon Fang has been tightly surrounded by everyone.

Cockfighting is held in the 'cockfighting pit', the so-called "cockfighting pit", which is named because the venue of the cockfight is lower than the surrounding ground.

Today's protagonists are Li Chongjun and Wu Chongxun, and under the mediation of Lu Xiaoxian, the two of them are going to have a cockfight.

Wu Chongxun's cockfighting level is well known in Luoyang City, but whenever the cockfighting competition held by the palace is held, Wu Chongxun has taken the lead.

Li Chongjun's preference for cockfighting is no less than Li Xian's, and even surpasses it. In the past, when he was in Fangzhou, there were no conditions, but now it is different, he has to train his fighting many times a day.

Three points for chickens, seven points for feeding.

Li Chongjun also has to give a 'massage' to the fighting at night, rubbing the fighting's chest muscles, thigh muscles, neck muscles, and wings with both hands. According to him, this makes the muscles of the fighting strong and promotes blood circulation and stasis.

Although Li Chongjun has not participated in cockfighting for a long time, he has a great tendency to catch up.

When Li Chongjun took off the chicken cover, a majestic black fighting appeared in front of everyone. This chicken is tall and sturdy, with sparkling eyes, a well-proportioned skeleton, strong muscles, a thick neck and long legs, and a heroic and combative demeanor.

Wu Chongxun is a white fighting in his hand, large and mighty, his front paws are like a sharp sword, his mouth is like a sharp thorn, brave and good at fighting, aggressive, and lethal.

The two fighting cocks were put into the cockfighting pit, and the white fighting cocks looked proud, showing off their might, and were eyeing each other. The appearance of the black fighting also seemed calm, with contempt and disdain, spreading its wings and shaking its legs.

Just as a master must observe each other before a martial arts competition, the two fighting cocks are also "eyeing each other", as if looking for each other's flaws.

At the beginning of the "battle", the two chickens stood up with their feathers erect, their wings flapped sharply, pecked, caught, flapped, or soared into the air to "fight", and everyone was thrilled to watch.

The white cockfights began to gain the upper hand, but the black fightcocks preferred to die and after a few rounds, both sides were exhausted.

The endurance of the black fighting seems to be stronger, and gradually turns defeat into victory, pecking off the feathers of the white fighting, and the white feathers are flying, like snowflakes flying, floating all over the ground.

The white fighting did not admit defeat, flapped its wings and flew to the black male fighting, and the black fighting also jumped up with a stubborn demeanor, facing the opponent in mid-air, fighting each other in the air, like a pair of eagles fighting in the sky, not letting each other go.

The black fighting became more and more courageous, and the white fighting broke his toes and broken arms, crooked his mouth and slanted eyes, drenched in blood, and fled in embarrassment.

In the end, Lee Chongjun's black fighting won the victory, and everyone cheered.

Looking at the smug Li Chongjun, Wu Chongxun showed a cold expression on his face.
