Chapter 150 As long as you can win, no matter how you win, watching a polo game under the hot sun, in a sense, it's not a bad thing. However, in addition to high-ranking officials and eunuchs, even noble ladies who can participate in this kind of occasion have to look at their family background, so this rare intermission gives people the opportunity to talk to each other and make friends.

However, in addition to the most popular topics of the past few days, at this moment, an amazing news spread among the crowd at the fastest speed - in the second half, Peiwang Li Xian will play with Qu Tushenruo's women's army!

Datang loves polo up and down, so it is not uncommon for the prince to play in person, so after a moment of consternation, the audience was suddenly excited to the extreme, especially the ladies who accounted for half of the total number were even more encouraged, and they all grabbed all the good seats in the front, and even some good people made bets - the result can be imagined, all of them bet on Li Xian to win, and no one was willing to bet on Li Xian to lose. Li Jingye, Cheng Bohu and others, who fanned the flames, went around in circles, all of them were dejected.

"Stupid, if you want to start a gambling game, don't choose this time!"

Li Xian, who was already depressed, couldn't help but scold, how could he not know that this was an opportunity to make money, the question is, at the moment, there are almost all the people of the Tang Dynasty, who would bet on him to lose the game? Fortunately, this gambling game can't be opened, otherwise, looking at the menacing appearance of Tubo, maybe you will lose even your pants by then!

Since there was no preparation in advance, Li Xianshao had no choice but to let people go to the Wude Hall to get a full set of outfits. His companions are certainly very reliable, whether it is Qu Tu Shenruo, Li Yanniang, Yin Xiuning or Su, all of them are well-known polo masters in Chang'an City, and they are women who do not let their eyebrows, but to what extent they can play depends on his performance.

As the saying goes, how much water a barrel can hold depends on the shortest piece. Although he doesn't want to admit it, at the moment, he is the shortest plank!

"Xian'er!"

"Rokuro!"

Feeling someone patting him on the shoulder, when he looked back, Li Xian was stunned. On the left is Helan Yan, on the right is Qu Tu Shenruo, unlike the little girl's worried face, the eldest sister is still smiling, as if it is not her who will end up.

"The soldiers are coming to block the water and cover the earth, what is there to worry about!" Qu Tushenruo generously dragged Li Xian up, pointed to Qin Ling, who was leading the horse over there, and said with a smile, "Do you dare to bet with me, I bet that guy is definitely not as good as you!" ”

This eldest sister is so sure?

Li Xian opened his mouth to answer, but Helan Yan on the side immediately showed a look of surprise and joy: "Sister Shenruo, do you mean it really?" ”

"Helan, you can rest assured, when did I ever speak?" Qu Tushenruo winked at Li Xian with a smile, and his expression revealed an indescribable confidence, "Speaking of which, I would like to thank you Liulang, if it weren't for your departure this time, maybe our sisters would have lost!" The Tubo people who came back this time are much stronger than last time! ”

Although he didn't understand Qu Tushenruo's meaning the most, Li Xian now only chose to believe in this eldest sister. Soon, Ah Luo rushed from the Wude Palace, and personally changed Li Xian into a full set of clothes, and he never separated from the word "victory" between his words. Not only her, but also the other four palace people who came with her were all full of confidence.

"Is it all right when I show up?"

Standing on the sidelines, Li Xian couldn't help but look left and right for a while, and before he could finish the field, the cheers of the mountains and tsunamis suddenly sounded in his ears, and he could even hear Cheng Bohu's loud voice and his younger brother Li Xian's loud shouting. As for the group of aristocratic girls and noblewomen who were gathered at the front, with flowers and branches shining in their eyes, it became the most beautiful scenery in the audience.

In such shouts and cheers, even if there were still some worries in his heart before, at this moment, Li Xian's heart only had the pride of victory. The fence gate on the side of the field quickly opened, and he was waiting for Qu Tushenruo to appear, but unexpectedly, the four women around him suddenly rode their horses to the side and took a step, and their eyes were all focused on him.

"Sister Shen Ruo......"

"What the hell, hurry up and take us on the field!" Qu Tushen saw Li Xian thrown in a daze, so he simply stepped forward and pushed him, "The person leading the team today is you, not me, don't forget!" ”

Chasing Feng under him suddenly spread his hooves and rushed into the field, and by the time Li Xian reacted, he had already reached the center of the polo field. Hearing a rapid sound of horses' hooves behind him, and the Tubo people on the opposite side had not yet appeared, he simply tightened the reins, and his legs slammed into the horse's belly, and the chasing wind under him immediately let out a long neigh, and he actually kicked up his two front legs and turned around, just facing the emperor and queen in the stands.

With a smile and a fist on the horse's back, Li Xian saw Qu Tushenruo and the other four women rushing over like a gust of wind, and then went around him in a big circle, and then he could stop. At this time, there was a great cheer in the stands, and it was not until the momentum passed that the five people from the Tubo side appeared one after another, and naturally there was no sensation just now.

Although Qu Tushen swears by it

It's not good to play polo, but when you see the other party sitting on the horse angrily, you look like a master. When he raised his bow staff to greet each other, he heard Qin Ling smile heartily: "His Royal Highness King Pei, there is an old saying called Banmen get an axe, although my strength is not good, I have to ask for advice!" ”

Li Xian almost didn't burst out with a sentence of friendship first and competition second, and immediately covered the past with a long smile. It was easy to look forward to the sound of the gong at the beginning of the game, and he received Qu Tushenruo's eye signal, and immediately stepped forward to swing his staff to hit the ball. At this moment, the effect of playing polo with Qu Tushenruo and others in the past came out, as long as he looked at and gestured, he could cooperate seamlessly with the four women, and there was a hearty taste when playing.

Since polo relies on teams, although the two teams have played each other for several rounds, Li Xian has never faced Qinling head-on. However, the pressure of others put him under a lot of pressure, and the ball in his hand was almost intercepted several times. At this time, seeing that Qu Tushenruo was still chasing the ball in the air regardless of the two of them, and then found that there was no one around him, he immediately drove all the distracting thoughts out of his mind and struggled towards the direction of the opponent's goal.

Just as the chasing wind under him gradually let go of his speed, a black shadow suddenly burst out of the diagonal and forced up like a maggot with a bone. While he was distracted from the four girls in the scuffle, he took the time to look to the side, and it was Qinling with a solemn face - looking at this guy's biting posture, where does he look like a person who is not good at playing polo?

"Rokuro, quick!"

Hearing Qu Tu Shenruo's loud shout, Li Xian didn't care about complaining about the nonsense of this eldest sister, and he actually stiffly raised the horse's speed by one percent, aiming at the landing point of the bow ball and rushing away. Just as he rushed to the front and stretched out his rod to pluck the ball, the other stick reached for the ball at the same time, and it was possible that the speed could touch the ball one step earlier than him.

"Damn it!"

Li Xian couldn't hold back the anger in his heart anymore, and scolded hatefully. However, what stunned him was that the stick that was inserted horizontally swept past the polo ball, and it was a fraction of a second. Surprised and delighted, he didn't care about anything else, and after the rod flicked the ball and rolled forward, he immediately caught up with another staff. With the sound of the whirring wind, the bow ball went into the hole. Immediately afterward, the audience burst into loud cheers.

"Rokuro, well done!"

Li Xian, who came back to his senses, was naturally praised by Qu Tu Shenruo and others, and what he wanted to figure out most now was whether that Qinling was deliberately releasing water just now, or did he really not grasp the direction? It's just that he can't be allowed to think too much, and soon it will be his turn to kick off again, and he has to devote himself to it.

And this time, it was him and Qin Ling again, he just made a passing posture with a false shot, and Qin Ling seemed to be stunned, and actually let him go.

The next time Qinling still failed in the scramble......

The next time it was Qin Ling who wasted the great opportunity created by his teammates......

When the gong and drum at the end of the game finally sounded, the score on the field was fixed at 7-4 - in the entire second half, the Tubo Polo team only scored one goal, while Li Xian and others scored three goals, so the victory or defeat was immediate. Although there was nothing wrong with this victory, Li Xian, who was cheering around the stadium to accept people's cheers, always felt panicked in his heart, and he couldn't be happy.

After getting off the horse and changing clothes, before he had time to catch his breath, Wang Fu ran over by the way, and reported with a smile on his face that the emperor had an invitation. He had expected this, so he hurriedly followed the other party to the main stand, but at this time, he saw that Qin Ling was already sitting on the side, and only then did he stand up and salute when he saw him coming.

"Although His Royal Highness King Pei is young, this polo is really good, and the ministers are really ashamed! To tell the truth, among the five sons of the father, the foreign minister's polo play was the worst, but when he saw His Royal Highness playing today, he was embarrassed for a while, and the result was indeed a big defeat. ”

Seeing Qin Ling making a regretful statement there, Li Xian became more and more unclear about whether what this person said was true or false, so he hurriedly humbled a few words, and by the way, he gave all the credit to Qu Tu Shenruo and others. And Li Zhi and Empress Wu were also very satisfied with the competition just now, and finally ordered all the contestants to reward ten horses of colorful silk and 100 pieces of silver.

This little bit of color is just a drop in the bucket for the Tang Dynasty, but it is a great honor for a group of Tubo people, and they all came up to thank them immediately. When Qin Ling left with everyone, Empress Wu personally poured a glass of wine in the luminous glass with a smile, and motioned to the waiter next to him to add ice cubes, and then handed it to Li Xian.

And Li Zhi also nodded appreciatively at the right time: "Anyway, Xian'er has grown my Tang prestige this time!" Drink the cup of your mother, and I will be rewarded when I turn back! ”

Hearing that there was another reward, Li Xian immediately threw his stomach full of thoughts aside, raised his head and drank it all. It doesn't matter if Qin Ling is playing tricks or something else, he wins anyway, and that's it!
