Chapter 590: Li Zhi's Arrangement
It's early spring, and it's warm and cold, if it's in the city. Just looking at a certain peach tree can not show anything, you can only feel that the branches are new, but once you go out of the city and see a large forest, then the breath of spring will come to your face.
Wang Ping'an rode on a horse, pointed at the trees outside the city with a horsewhip, and said with a smile: "It's only been two or three days, why are these trees green so quickly, they are already full of tender green!" ”
Qiu Renjie said: "Actually, when the eldest brother came back from the Lishan Palace, he was already like this, how long has it been spring." It's just that maybe the eldest brother had something in his heart at that time and didn't want to enjoy the scenery, but now he is in a good mood, and the scenery will naturally come into his eyes! ”
Wang Ping'an hummed and said, "Maybe!" When he returned to Chang'an, he did have something in his heart, and now although there are still a lot of things, they have all been straightened out, and his mood has naturally changed.
After going out of the city gate, and not far away, he saw a few horsemen running behind them, and immediately the knights were brightly dressed and running very fast, and when they came to the back of their convoy, the knights shouted: "Borrow, borrow" Beware of Ma Lie, I have crashed into you! ”
Wang Ping'an's guards were used to being uncles, and they were willing to give way to people easily, and when they looked back, they saw that these knights seemed to be the sons and daughters of which family, and they were very young, so they didn't care much, and they still stood in the way and didn't give way.
Several knights rushed to the front and saw such a long convoy, and the guards were all officers of the guard, all of them were ranked, not ordinary soldiers, they had to hold back their anger, knowing that they could not afford to offend, so they had to bypass the avenue and pass through the woods!
The Wang family's convoy walked for a while, and the sound of horses' hooves came again, and this time there were dozens of people rushing in, all of whom were wearing the same style of stand-up collar Hu clothes, each with two horses, riding one, and pulling one.
Far away, the knight who was running to the front shouted: "Ah, hey, old and young masters in front, let go, let go!" While shouting, he raised the horsewhip in his hand and snapped twice.
This time, the people of the guard regiment are no longer putting up a fight, they know these people who come from behind, and they are all comrades of the left guard. Ouyang Li stopped his mount and shouted, "Isn't this General White Tiger Bai, you don't recommend it today?"
The group of people who came were all Zuo Wuwei's generals, but they didn't wear armor, and the leading captain was named Baihu. When Wang Ping'an first opened the medicinal food workshop, he had been there and took away the prescription of the anti-inflammatory potion, which was considered an acquaintance.
Seeing that it was Ouyang Li, the white tiger immediately raised his arm and signaled the team to stop, while he stepped forward, gave a military salute, and said with a smile: "Isn't this Brother Ouyang, I haven't seen you for a few days, what are you going to do?"
The two of them were both officials in Zuo Wuwei, and at the beginning, Bai Hu's position was higher than Ouyang Li's, and now Ouyang Li's official rank is much higher than Bai Hu's.
Ouyang Li returned the salute and said with a smile: "I accompanied my master to the polo club, what about you, with so many horses, you should also go there, right?" ”
Baihu nodded and said: "That's natural, today is not only to play polo, but also to race, I am going to participate in horse racing, playing ball, I am not allowed to participate."
Ouyang Liha sighed and said, "No, looking at your equestrian skills, you should be playing well, why don't you be allowed to participate?"
Baihu laughed and said with a smile: "Of course I'm not bad at playing polo, but I can only play with the people of Weifu, today's polo will be seen by the emperor and Gongfeng's mother, how can the soldiers of Weifu play, when the bones are broken and tendons are broken, and one head is blood, how boring it is, I can't let the ladies watch this."
Wang Ping'an heard them talking in front, grabbed a white dragon horse, walked over, and asked, "Why, is it so dangerous to play polo, and you have to break your head and bleed?" ”
As soon as the white tiger saw him, he hurriedly dismounted, and the soldiers and generals of Zuo Wuwei also dismounted. Wang Ping'an hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite, our own brothers, we don't need to kneel around."
General Bai, you just said that playing is dangerous? ”
The white tiger still got off the horse, saluted Wang Ping'an, and then got on the horse again, he said: "If you go back to the prince, of course it is dangerous for the last generals to play polo, but today's game will not, either the janissaries will play, or the palace maids will play, the game is warm, how can it be dangerous!" ”
Wang Ping'an sighed, listening to what he meant, today's polo club is at best a friendly match, and it is a performance. He was a little trembling in his heart, he didn't know what Li Zhi would arrange, estimating his level, even if he fought with the palace maids, he was afraid that he would have to be beaten to the ground!
Bai Hu Qi said, "The prince has never seen a bow before, and he has never played polo?" ”
Wang Ping'an frowned and said, "I've seen it, but I haven't seen an injured one."
The white tiger asked again: "Is the prince going to end today?" Then you have to be careful and don't let the ball hit you if you don't hit it. Also, it's better to tie yourself to your horse and don't fall off, that's a terrible thing! He saw that Wang Ping'an's equestrian skills were average, and it was no problem to run around on horseback, but if he wanted to ride a horse and fight indiscriminately, it would be enough, he could only be beaten by others!
Wang Ping'an sighed and thought: "Today is the day of my marriage, and it is inevitable to show my demeanor and play in a small field." But I'm even seven handsome... I don't know the rules, how do you play this ball? Or if I don't play, just let the ball hit me? After a few dozen hits, I want to be able to bear it, isn't that another way to show your demeanor, the thick skin is better than the armor! ”
The white tiger didn't say much, he bowed his hand to Wang Ping'an, took his subordinates, pulled their horses, and rushed forward again.
Ouyang Li saw that the master's face was unhappy, and he hurriedly said: "Although the master can rest assured, his subordinates will not let the ball hit you, I will prepare the golden melon seeds, as long as the ball flies towards you, I will hit the golden melon seeds and knock the ball away, at most, you can't hit the ball, and there will be no danger!" ”
Wang Ping'an shook his head and said, "This, let's talk about it then!" ”
The convoy continued to move forward, and along the way, there were constantly horse teams rushing from behind, many of whom Wang Ping'an knew, all of them were princes and nobles, all of whom went to participate in the polo club.
When he arrived at the polo field, Wang Ping'an looked around, only to see that there were thousands of people on the sidelines, and there were countless horses, and many knights were showing their equestrian skills, doing all kinds of difficult actions in the field, including many Hu people.
The royal convoy has a large number of people, and it is estimated that in addition to the convoy of the emperor and the various guards, it is the largest convoy belonging to him, which is more than the people led by the crown prince Li Zhi.
Li Zhi arrived one step ahead of him, and when he saw Wang Ping'an coming, he rode over and said, "No disease, why did you bring so many people here, how many teams are there here?" ”
Wang Ping'an looked back and saw that his parents had already gotten out of the car, and he said: "If you go back to Your Highness, you will not form a few teams, but serve the attendants of your father and mother." ”
Li Zhi sighed and looked at the Wang couple, Wang Youcai and Yang came over and gave Li Zhi a salute. Li Zhi was quite polite, and he showed full respect for Wang Ping'an, the parents of his first confidant. The better he is to his confidant's family, the harder his henchman will work for himself, he understands this truth.
Without waiting for Wang Youcai and Yang to kneel, as soon as they lifted their clothes, Li Zhi jumped off the horse, walked a few steps to him, and said with a smile: "No courtesy, no courtesy." This is not in the palace, the two old men don't have to be restrained, just casual! ”
Wang Youcai and the Yang family are overjoyed, this is the prince? Oh, he's good to us, it's for the sake of his son's face, our son really has face in front of the prince!
After saying a few kind words, Li Zhi pulled Wang Ping'an aside and said: "Things are arranged for you, you don't have to play polo, you only need to participate in a horse race, you should be fine in horse racing, right?" ”
Wang Ping'an nodded and said: "This is not a question, the minister from Chang'an to the willow, thousands of miles away, if you want to talk about the equestrian skills, there is no, but if you want to say that the horse gallops, then how fast the horse can run, how fast the minister can make it run!" ”
Li Zhi glanced at Bai Longma and said with a smile: "I just think your horse is good, that's why I arranged it like this." Rest assured, you'll be number one. When you snatch the lamb, you give it to your parents, and then your father asks your parents to come forward and praise them for raising a good son, and the lamb will be presented to your father by your parents as a dowry, and that's all right. ”
Wang Ping'an was happy, it turned out to be arranged like this, it was simple, if you want to say that riding a horse is faster, his ability is not about inside and outside, tens of thousands of miles of running down, if you want to say that it is faster than running, he really doesn't accept anyone!
Li Zhi said again: "At that time, my father will take out a handkerchief or something, which is embroidered by my little sister herself, and give it to your parents, so that they can go back and wipe your sweat, and this family matter will be decided." ”
Wang Ping'an smiled: "This is decided?" It's easy, too! ”
Li Zhi waved his hand and said: "You hurry up and take a look at your horse, don't make a mistake when you play, if you can't run fast if your hooves are injured, then even if the people behind you want you, you can't let it." ”
Wang Ping'an hurriedly agreed, ran back, and asked Ouyang Li to check on the white dragon horse, while Li Zhi went to talk to someone else again.
At this time, more and more people gathered around the polo field, almost all the princes and nobles arrived, Wang Ping'an could only go over to greet one by one, like the eldest grandson Wuji and Ma Zhou and others, he could not slack off, and he was too busy to take care of seeing the white dragon horse.
Li Ke also brought people to the sidelines, he saw Wang Ping'an, who was busy, and said angrily: "This kid, he doesn't know how to lift, he laughs at this king in person, he doesn't end today, if he ends, you have to give him some color to see, which of you is up?" He only thought that his "clever plan" was seen through by Wang Ping'an, but he didn't want him to send someone to Wang Ping'an's house to be a spy.
There are a lot of "capable people" around him, all of whom call themselves murderers, listening to the prince's questioning, several big men stood up together, and said: "The prince's villains form a team, and when the king is safe, the villains will step forward and abolish him, do you want him to break his arm or leg?" ”
