"Okay, you kid, why do you use this wine to fool Guo Ye? Didn't you hide a few jars in the cellar? Are you reluctant to take it out or do you drink it yourself? Guo Yan had a fierce face.

Xiang An guarded his ears and shouted "sighs", and hurriedly explained with a bitter face: "The second son spares his life!" How dare I, the day before yesterday, Gongliang ran over and said that he had won, and said that the second son, you had ordered, and if you won Anyifang, you rewarded them with those altars of Balingqing, so I had to let him rob it...... I was wronged! ”

Guo Yang let go as soon as he heard it, and laughed "haha" in his mouth: "Yes, yes! I forgot! I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Haha I punished myself with three cups! ”

When Yang Qing heard the word "win", he felt quite strange and asked:

"Winning? What kind of ball? ”

As soon as Guo Yang heard Yang Qing's inquiry, he immediately became interested, and the excitement in his eyes couldn't be suppressed.

"Yes! Win! Anyi Fang has been pressing our Qinren Fang for several years! I specially invited a few masters in the last two months, and then I took down the stinky boys in Anyifang, grandma's! It's a pleasure! However, that price is also a price, and you can redeem two Qingqi from Xiaoxiao Building! No, three! After that, he gritted his teeth and gritted his mouth.

Yang Qing was confused when he heard it, he still didn't know why, and muttered in his mouth.

"Anyi Fang? Qinren Fang? Laughing Building? Clearing? ”

Guo Yang saw Yang Qing's confused appearance, and said with a smile: "What? Haven't been to Xiaoxiao Building? You don't want to be a chick, do you? Hahaha! Oh yes, you only entered this Chang'an City the day before yesterday, so you shouldn't have been there. Don't worry, my brother will definitely take you to see and learn in the future! ”

Bao'er is bold and generous on weekdays, but after all, she is also an unmarried girl from Yunying, and now she is a little embarrassed when she hears Guo Yan's words, especially when she hears the word "chick", she doesn't know what she thinks, she blushes and lowers her head, and secretly whispers in her heart Guo Yan's meat words regardless of the occasion.

Yang Qing didn't understand it anymore, and when she saw Bao'er's situation, she probably understood, that Xiaoxiao Lou was afraid that it was a brothel, and it might be quite famous in Chang'an City. self-deprecating smile, I really said to Guo Yang, I am really a "chick", but he didn't reject this kind of thing very much, it was also for life, not to mention that this was still in the Tang Dynasty, the prostitute stealing incense, and the matter of supporting the beauty and lying down is not only not an ugly thing now, but also a romantic talk.

However, Yang Qing didn't care about this, he hurriedly grabbed Guo Yang:

"It's not this, I'm asking about winning, what winning?"

"Polo! What else could it be? Guo Yang felt inexplicable, didn't this kid drink high?

"Polo? Your polo team? "Could it be that this person in front of me is still a small open of a club? Yang Qing looked at Guo Yan a little confused.

"Not really, but it's pretty much it. Our Qinrenfang polo team is now in charge of my business. What's wrong with you? ”

"It's nothing, I just didn't expect you to like this."

"That's it! Aside from polo, there aren't many things that make me happy. By the way, Ziyin, you may not know, now most of the Fangs in Chang'an have Fang teams, and when the Fang Tournament is finished in October, the top two will be eligible to go to Hanguang Hall to participate in the Shengshang's special 'Tongle Competition', and play against the team of the Ouchi Imperial Family, which is a great honor! ”

Oh? And this one? Yang Qing is a little **.

"This folk team plays against the Royal team...... I'm afraid it's not much to look at, put on a show, right? ”

"What a show! Last year, the soldiers and ruffians in Anxingfang won the first place, and the royal family could only be relegated to second. Beautiful! Guo Yan looked envious.

"I really dare to ...... the royal family" Yang Qing felt unbelievable.

"The Holy Majesty himself said that he wanted to have fun with the people. If the team wins the first place in the fun competition, the reward will be doubled compared to the royal team, and those who have outstanding performance will be awarded the title on the spot! It's not a fight for your life. ”

"How can you say that Anxingfang is a soldier ruffian? Isn't it a Minfang team, do they use soldiers? ”

"Hehe, everybody says that. The team of Anxingfang is known as Minfang, in fact, it is all the generals of the Duke of Eguo, all of them are good runners who run immediately, and they also ask the lieutenant general to give them some guidance every once in a while, and they do a lot of tricks, so everyone calls them soldiers. Guo Yang looked disdainful when he talked about Anxingfang.

The polo of the Tang Dynasty was greatly influenced by the Tibetans, although there were records of polo as early as the Han Dynasty, but the polo of the Tang Dynasty still basically followed the rules passed from the Tibetans, and was usually divided into double-goal games and single-goal games.

Double-goal (two-team match) is a format in which two goals are played opposite ends of the pitch at the same time, and the players are divided into two teams, and the number of players on each team is often not fixed, usually about 8-10 people. The players of both teams cooperate with each other, riding on horses and swinging their sticks to fight for the ball, passing, dribbling, shooting, and finally hitting the ball into the opponent's goal more times wins. It's very similar to modern football.

Single-goal tournament (individual winning selection) is a multi-game selection match in which an individual winner is competed, or simply an individual winning selection, in which the same group of players (with an irregular number of players) compete in multiple rounds on the court, and a number of winners are selected according to a predetermined number of places. The specific rules are: the same group of players play several games, and the player who can hit the ball into the goal in the first game of scramble will win the first place (called "first chip" in the Tang Dynasty). The first place winner will immediately withdraw from the competition. The rest of the team took a break and continued with the second game. In the second game, the player who hits the ball into the goal wins the second place (called "second chip" in the Tang Dynasty). By analogy, each game is limited to one goal to produce a winner, and the rankings are arranged in order until all the pre-determined winners are determined.

Double-goal matches are more difficult than single-goal matches. Players on the pitch should not only pay attention to the use of individual sports skills, but also pay attention to the tacit cooperation with their teammates in order to maximize the collective level of sports. The single goal game is all about individual batting skills.

Tang Xuanzong loved polo very much, and attached great importance to the role of polo in people's physical and mental exercise. In the sixth year of Tianbao (747 AD), Tang Xuanzong issued an edict to list polo as one of the training subjects of the big ** team. He himself is also a master, in the early years when Li Longji was the king of Linzi, the Tibetan envoys to Tang Zhongzong (that is, Li Longji's father) put forward a request for a friendly game, Zhongzong immediately sent several polo players in the palace (mostly eunuchs and guards) to the field, but unexpectedly lost several games in a row. The Tubo knights are not only more skilled in technology, but also more tough in the style of the game, rampage a few back and forth, the Tang team has fallen off the horse and been injured, and those who are not injured are also afraid, even the horses of the Tubo team have followed the owner's temperament, fierce and abnormal, and even kicked and bitten have not been civilized. Zhongzong was angry when he saw it, doesn't this deceive me Datang no one!? With a wave of my hand, my family members all got on the horse for me to get back on the field! Li Longji, the king of Linzi, and Li Yun, the king of captivity (this name...... ), the horse Yang Shenjiao, cousin Wu Yanxiu and other vigorous horses to fight, Tubo saw that the opponent changed these people, and the arrogance suddenly withered. First, Li Longji and others are really powerful, and secondly, the Tubo people don't dare to make too many mistakes, so Li Longji and others "drive the east and west, the wind returns to the electric surge, and the direction is unstoppable", and finally saved the royal dignity.

In the Tang Dynasty of that year, polo was the national sport, and its popularity was better than that of the first year of the Chinese A, which can be described as crazy for the whole people, and even many deep beauties and ladies in the palace also flocked to it, screaming and screaming hoarsely in the audience, no different from the female fans of later generations who saw Xiaobei.

When it comes to the polo team, this is Guo Yang's rare favorite, and a pride in his heart soars into the sky, and he explains the boss to Yang Qing for a while. Yang Qing listened while quickly thinking about something in his heart......

"Zhong Tao, why don't you take me to see your Qinrenfang team?" Yang Qing smiled slightly.
