The scheduled match date arrived as scheduled.

Zhao Yuanshu had an embarrassing scene on his side, none of the friends who played with him on weekdays dared to come over to play polo with him today.

Because everyone knows that the emperor is angry with others because of Yuanshu's partial problem.

No one dared to play with him at this juncture.

Zheng Guogong wisely decided: Draw lots to decide to assign a strength from Li Qi's group to Yuan Shu to avoid being too unfair to him.

He looked at Ji An: "Do something to separate Li Qi!" ”

Ji An frowned, and whispered in his ear: "Grandpa, I thought about it for a long time last night, I can't let Li Lin and the Nine Emperor Princes be in a group!" ”

"Why?" Zheng Guogong was surprised.

Zheng Guogong wanted to let the two of them cultivate a relationship together.

Ji An didn't think so: "Grandpa, you think, after the two of them are in a group, they will definitely attack at two ends, and there is no intersection at all!" Instead, let the two of them oppose each other before they can get in touch! ”

As soon as Ji An said this, Zheng Guogong suddenly realized, oops, this grandson is so witty!

"That's it!"

When the four of them opened the drawing slip.

Li Qi and Zhao Zhen smiled awkwardly, and they actually let Li Lin and Yuan Shu be in a group.

Zhao Zhen glanced at Zhao Yuanshu and Li Lin.

"How do I feel unfair, a minor, a woman. It doesn't look like a serious game by any means. Zhao Zhen said.

Yuan Shu was disgusted by Zhao Zhen's eyes: "Zhao Zhen, don't underestimate people!" ”

Zhao Zhen raised the pole in his hand, "Respect, I'm your uncle." ”

"There are no uncles and nephews here, only opponents." Yuanshu's tone was cold.

The discord between the uncle and nephew is not a matter of one or two days.

Li Lin had already ridden to Yuanshu's side.

It can be seen that Li Lin is not unfamiliar with polo.

"The team is all divided, let's start!" Li Lin was tired of the verbosity between men.

Li Qi moved his bones, "Okay, there is no intimacy on the field, don't blame us for losing." ”

The game begins.

Zheng Guogong's eyes kept rolling on Li Lin and Zhao Zhen.

He watched his teammates pass the ball to Zhao Zhen, Zhao Zhen rode his horse to pick it up, and Li Lin on the opposite side was ready to defend.

Just as the two were about to make contact, Yuanshu's pole suddenly appeared and intercepted Zhao Zhen's ball.

Zheng Guogong pounded the table in disappointment.

Li Qi and Zhao Zhen worked well together, Zhao Zhen attacked, and Li Qi assisted in passing.

But whenever Zhao Zhen was about to face to face with Li Lin, Yuan Shu suddenly came out to interrupt.

After a few rounds, the two teams were tied, but Zhao Zhen and Li Lin did not have the slightest contact.

Ji'an was also stunned.

Zheng Guogong hates that iron does not become steel,

"Eh, I didn't expect Yuanshu's big bulb, he is not a fuel-efficient lamp."

Many people don't know that Yuanshu is the best at volleying when playing polo.

Zheng Guogong was indignant and shouted on the side: "Li Qi, you stupid. Don't you say you're good on weekdays? Hurry up. ”

Li Qi heard his grandfather scolding him, and glanced at his grandfather confused: "What's the matter with me?" ”

Then he hit a ball with a pole and at the same time rode his horse to block the nearest Li Lin.

Zhao Zhen rushed to the opposite side to catch the ball very tacitly.

Yuan Shu saw that they were in trouble, and also rode over, but the distance was too far to stop, and in a hurry, he threw the pole in his hand, and the pole collided with the ball, bouncing back the ball that was about to arrive at the place.

This time it was so wonderful that everyone secretly applauded.

Only Zheng Guogong blew up.

"You ......"

He pointed at Yuan Shu and stood up angrily: "You have violated the rules, out!" ”

Yuan Shu, who was high-fived Li Lin over there and celebrated, looked dazed: "Why?"

"Your pole is out of your hand, violation." Zheng Guogong said.

"How can there be such a rule?"

Yuan Shu felt inexplicable.

"I'm the referee, and if I say you're violating, you're violating." Zheng Guogong said unreasonably.

"Grandpa, this is not a violation." Li Lin also felt that his grandfather was a little strange.

"It's common sense to play a polo rod without leaving your hand, if you throw the rod out, it's a violation, out, change the substitute!"

Everyone thinks he's a bit unreasonable, this is obviously an old man who doesn't understand, and he is a referee here for some reason.

Zheng Guogong saw that as long as Yuan Shu was on the field, it was impossible for Li Lin and Zhao Zhen to come into contact head-on.

Be cheeky and let him out.

Yuan Shu got off the horse: "Out of the game, out of the game."

While walking out of the field, he glanced at Zheng Guogong with cold eyes.

Looking at his eyes, the elderly Zheng Guogong had a thrill.

This kid is notoriously vengeful, he offended the emperor and grandson in order to create opportunities for Li Lin and Zhao Zhen, this sacrifice is too great, they must be together......

Li Lin patted Yuanshu on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I won't lose." ”

At this time, Yuanshu was already sweating, went to drink water, and sat on the steps to watch the game.

Judging from the current situation, Li Lin still has a great possibility of winning.

To tell the truth, Li Lin's proficiency in polo exceeded all of their expectations.

Zheng Guogong didn't know where to find a replacement, he was obviously a second-rate person who was not good, and he was ugly and had no eyes.

Li Qi and Zhao Zhen glanced at each other,

If it was the combination of Yuanshu Minor and Li Lin Girl just now, although it seems unequal, these two are both powerful, and the game is no problem.

But now this candidate is mediocre, and it seems that he is not even very skilled in horseback riding, and Li Lin is left alone to support him.

Zhao Zhen and Li Qi lost interest all of a sudden.

Li Qi whispered to Zhao Zhen: "Give her a ball for them to win, let's go to the bar." ”

"Good!" Zhao Zhen comprehended.

With Zheng Guogong as the referee, he really can't be happy.

He raised his arm and pretended to be very serious and gave Li Lin a ball.

Whether it is for the people who play or the people who watch, everyone who knows a little bit knows that this is a send-off ball!

However, when it was delivered to Li Lin, Li Lin stopped.

At that moment, she saw the jade pendant on Zhao Zhen's waist after raising the pole.

It was a blue-green cylindrical coiled dragon jade pendant.

At this time, he noticed that Zhao Zhen was wearing a lake-blue gold-patterned robe today, and the jade pendant on his waist shook in the wind.

Daoist Lan's words suddenly sounded in Li Lin's ears:

"If you see a man wearing a blue embroidered gold robe with a dragon pillar jade pendant hanging from his waist, it is your future husband..."

Li Lin was stunned, originally thinking that this was nonsense.

How could such a coincidence be possible in the world?

At first, I didn't believe the Taoist priest's words, but at this moment, I suddenly messed up, and the pole slipped from my hand.

Li Qi and Zhao Zhen looked incredulous.

Such a good ball, I didn't catch it, and I dropped the pole in my hand.

Yuan Shu in the audience suddenly stood up: "Sister! ”

As a result of the game, Li Qi and Zhao Zhen's team won.

The winning side was confused.

"What just happened?" Zhao Zhen thought he was dreaming.

The other party didn't catch this ball?

Zheng Guogong was more satisfied with this result, because he clearly saw that Li Lin looked at Zhao Zhen with a meaningful look in his eyes, and his heart was overjoyed.

Li Lin's gaze was still on the jade pendant on Zhao Zhen's waist, and the words of the Taoist priest circulated in her mind over and over again.

"Sister, how can you lose?" Yuanshu roared and pulled Li Lin back to his senses.

"I'm sorry...... My hands slipped. Li Lin was a little apologetic.

"Slippery hands?"

For such a ridiculous reason, Yuan Shu heard it for the first time, and she looked at the expressions of Li Qi and Zhao Zhen on the side.

For a moment, his expression turned cold.

"You're clearly releasing water and deliberately letting them win!"

Yuan Shu felt that he seemed to have been tricked by these people.

From the very beginning, they were in a group, and they still had a decent game against them.

He sneered and turned to leave

Even Li Qi felt a little embarrassed, and said to Li Lin: "You don't have to do this, it doesn't matter if we win or lose." ”

Li Lin knew that he had been misunderstood by them, and explained, "I really didn't mean to. ”

Zhao Zhen had a smile on his face, he had always liked to see Yuan Shu angry, and felt that Li Lin did a good job this time.

Li Lin didn't dare to look at his eyes.

Turning his head to look at Yuanshu's puffing back, he chased after him.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." Li Lin said.

"I've lost everything, I'm sorry, is it useful?" Yuanshu was impatient.

"We'll come back next time, not this time." Li Lin felt really guilty in his heart.

Yuanshu stopped, the anger on his face gone.

"Sister, I'm not angry because I won or lost in the end, I deliberately lost when I could have won, the game was originally a two-way competition, if I got involved in a private relationship, what's the point?"

Seeing that Yuan Shu had such an age-defying dedication to the game, Li Lin was speechless.

Yuan Shu's heart is extremely hot.

Originally, yesterday, after Li Lin told him about the war he had experienced, Yuan Shu had completely ignored the matter of teasing him at the banquet before.

He felt that such a woman, only a few years older than him, had already stepped on the battlefield, without the slightest delicate artificiality, and was even stronger than many men, and he even secretly admired her.

However, the result of today's last game swept away his favor for her.

"I'll take you home." Li Lin's tone was full of weakness.

Yuan Shu was indifferent: "No, I'm not a child." ”

evening

Li Lin walked alone on the way back.

In my mind, I still have the scene of Zhao Zhen swinging and playing.

Is Zhao Zhen really his future husband?

But she obviously didn't have any feelings for him, could it be a joke from God?

Or is Lan Daoshi talking nonsense, Zhao Zhen is just a coincidence......

The more he thought about it, the more confused his brain became, Li Lin reached out and patted his head.

And Yuanshu, who returned to the house, sat on the steps depressedly.

At this time, his father, King Rong, was fiddling with flowers and plants.

King Rong was one of the few sons of the emperor who had a good temper.

He was the emperor's second son and was much older than Zhao Zhen.

Since the death of the emperor's eldest son many years ago, he has become the emperor's eldest son, but King Rong has a quiet personality and a disability in his right leg, so he has been living a relatively comfortable life.

He also calmly handled the struggle for power between the DPRK and China.

He is a kind father, especially for Yuanshu, the only son, full of doting.

King Rong knew that the game was lost when he looked at his face.

None of the subordinates on the side dared to talk to him, and they bowed over to pack their things.

"Son, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers. You can't win every time, you have to give someone a chance. ”

Yuanshu's mother died in childbirth during the separation, and his father was the most responsible of all the princes.

King Rong is like an enlightened friend, smiling and enlightening Yuanshu.

In the past, it was very rare for Yuan Shu to lose in various martial arts competitions, and at present, only Lao Jiu Zhao Zhen could suppress him.

Yuanshu didn't want to speak, he was already a little impatient, and said to the attendant: "Go and prepare hot water, I want to take a bath." ”

The attendants retreated cautiously, they all knew that the temper of the emperor's eldest grandson was moody.

"yes, I'll win next time." King Rong said.

Yuanshu sat there with his lips closed and didn't say a word, thinking of the last ball and feeling angry.

Hot water is available.

Yuan Shu took off the white robe on his body, revealing the blue golden dragon pattern shirt he wore inside.

This was the only one he wore when he went out this morning, but his father said it was too cold and forced him to add one.

He took out a cylindrical disc dragon jade pendant from the inside of his waist and placed it on the table, which was given to him by the emperor many years ago.

In the whole world, only he and his uncle Zhao Zhen have such jade pendants.
