170th: Polo Match

VIP area.

Not bad!

The angle of view is good, and it is shaded, and there are not many people below, so it is good to sit here and watch the game.

The course is huge, and Shuai said the course is 300 yards long and 160 yards wide. Li Chengqian pondered for a moment, this polo field is equivalent to the size of nine football fields, and there is a goal on each side.

Around the stadium can be said to be full of absence, there are well-dressed people and ordinary ones. There were not only men but also women, and everyone had excitement on their faces and seemed to be looking forward to the next polo match.

There were two pairs of horses on the polo field, one in red and the other in yellow, both tall and tall.

As for Li Chengqian, a rookie in polo, he doesn't know which red team is and which yellow team is. But don't worry, there's a veteran polo fan next to you. Soon he learned from his mouth that the red team was called the Teller team, also known as the military god team, and it was from the mansion of Li Jing, the prince of Jingwu of the country. Well, hearing this, Li Chengqian also followed the other fans to shout a few words of cheer for the military god team, after all, the military god Li Jing gave him a good impression, and he should be cheered. And the yellow team is called the Duobao team, and the general of the Shangzhu State is on the mansion of Qin Qiong!

"What?" Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment and asked.

Shuai Guo said to him again: "Qin Qiong, the general of Shangzhu State, you see, the yellow-clothed leader is the grandson of General Qin, Qin Huaidao!" ”

Ah, Qin Qiong, this is not only a god-level figure, but also Li Chengqian's idol, I didn't expect to see the super idol team today, that kind of mood is no longer something that can be said clearly by any words and voice!

"Team Duobao, you are the best!" Li Chengqian tore his throat and shouted!

"Big brother......" Shuai Guo looked at him a little depressed, "Which team do you support?" ”

"Both teams are supportive!" Li Chengqian said meaninglessly. Anyway, I don't know what the style of the two teams is, and it's the idols behind the team who support it, not the team. "And which team are you rooting for?"

The team that Shuai Guo supports, that is the style and spirit of the team that really likes!

"I'm rooting for Team Duobao!" He said it with pride! He's a standard fan!

"Good!" Li Chengqian boasted to his younger brother.

As they spoke, the players on the pitch had already finished their warm-ups, or rather, the horses under them had slipped around twice to warm up, each holding a long polo stick in his hand and waving it on the field. At this point, they were assigned to their respective venues, and the game began.

There was something like a ball in the middle of the field, and people from both teams rushed up to try desperately to get the ball into the opponent's goal.

The whole stadium is like a battlefield, the players are strong and powerful, using superb equestrian skills, holding polo sticks like sabers, and snatching balls that are filled with hair like human heads!

In the opening minute, Li Chengqian said: "This movement is too barbaric! …… I like it! ”

Shuai Guo smiled knowingly, he is basically a rookie who likes the process of polo, no need to comment much. He clapped his hands on the field and shouted, "Hurry, hurry up!" ”

saw that the two players on the field were in the process of grabbing the ball, and the yellow team suddenly pulled the horse's head and collided with the players of the red team. If they collide during a high-speed run, the legs of the two players will be crushed in the middle of the horse's belly. At that moment, everyone's hearts couldn't help but rise, and they saw that the two horses on the field were immediately touched, and there was no danger, although the angle problem could not see whether they had collided, but the two players did not scream, nor did they fall off the horse, thinking that the two horse control masters pulled the horse at the last moment!

Because of such a thrilling one, the speed of the red team was slightly paused, but the yellow team was unintentional, the horse grabbed the front, and the ball arrived at the yellow team's horse, and passed back! Scored!

Li Chengqian and Shuai Guo both shouted and cheered loudly for the first goal of the opening game of the yellow team!

The surrounding audience was not inferior to Li Chengqian's two brothers, and they did not hesitate to shout their own shouts, and for a while the field entered a state of fanaticism!

After a long cheer, the second round of confrontation began on the field. At this time, Shuai Guo waved to his follower and said, "Go, buy Duobao team twice!" ”

Li Chengqian tilted his head and asked, "What to buy?" ”

"Bet on winning or losing!" Shuai Guo said.

Hearing this, it turns out that this polo also has an opening bet. Li Chengqian inquired carefully, the odds of the Duobao team are 1 to 1.6, and the Teller team is 1 to 2.

Seeing Li Chengqian's eagerness to try, Shuai Guo smiled and said, "Big brother is also playing? ”

"Good!" Li Chengqian responded.

"Which team?"

"Two runs!" He and Shuai Guo looked at each other, "Jia Duobao!" ”

The handsome pot slapped his palm, and the two brothers were like-minded!

He shouted to his henchmen, "The JDB team has two runs. ”

The follower took the order and left.

At this time, the score on the field changed, and the Teller team scored a goal for the Duobao team without losing anyone. 1 to 1.

The Teller fans on the field cheered loudly, and the momentum was no worse than that of the Duobao team just now!

The game continues, you score a goal for me, I score a goal for you, the pace is very fast, and it is as exciting to watch as the blue ball. Li Chengqian also saw the situation of the two teams. The red team Teller team is very brave and has high combat effectiveness, and the yellow team Duobao team dares to fight and has a very high fighting spirit. The word dare to fight and dare to fight, perhaps at best, Li Chengqian actually felt that the yellow team was a little abnormal, just like terrorists facing the police, barefoot people are not afraid to wear shoes.

On the field, the action of the Duobao team is relatively hot, and the danger is very great, and many times the players of the Duobao team are holding the spirit of dying together. Just like now, the players of the two teams grabbed the ball face to face, and the Duobao team suddenly increased the speed of the horse and rushed straight over, if it wasn't for the players of the Teller team to get out of the way, I was afraid that the two horses' heads would collide together!

"What's wrong with this Duobao team?" Li Chengqian looked at the handsome pot in puzzlement, although the handsome pot at this time, although he was still shouting loudly, it gave people a sad feeling!

He turned his head, sighed, and said, "I'm afraid this year is the last time for the Duobao team!" ”

"Huh? Why? Li Chengqian asked gossipingly.

Shuai Guo leaned over, lowered his voice and said, "This is complicated, the Qin family is no longer capable of raising a polo team!" ……”

In his words, this polo team costs money to raise, and it costs a lot of money! The aristocracy disdained commerce, so it was not enough to rely on the nobles' fiefdoms and the symbolic subsidies of the imperial court, so where did the money come from?

It turned out that the aristocracy disdained business, but that didn't mean they didn't get involved in business. In order to get political help or protection, many merchants or consortia will choose the aristocracy as their protective umbrella. Just like the underworld, if you want to protect, of course, you have to pay protection money. Shuai Guo doesn't like the title of this protection fee, because he has already left the palace to open the mansion, and there are one or two small merchants under the mansion, so it is said to be an honorarium. So the money for this polo team is taken out of this protection fee.

Among this nobleman, the protection money received was also different. The larger the real power, the larger the family, the more protection fees it will receive, and the less powerful it will be. Like the handsome Wu Wangfu, there is no money to support a polo team.

The Qin Mansion is the founding father, needless to say in terms of power, there are naturally a lot of merchants attached to it. But in the vague words of the handsome pot, it seems that the Qin Mansion has not been as good as before in recent years, although the merchants dare not pay half a cent less, and they do not dare to leave the Qin Mansion immediately, but the Qin Mansion can't protect them much, so naturally they can't charge more money, so the Qin Mansion has slowly weakened, and it has reached the point where it can't raise a polo team!

Hearing this, Li Chengqian felt uncomfortable in his heart!

Heroes Twilight!
