() Xue Ke went to find the Shi girl again, and the Shi girl readily agreed, I heard that there was still one missing, and the Shi girl pulled one of her brothers again, but there were five people. A few people agreed to get together every other day to practice.

Sure enough, on the first day of practice, Ren Yao brought a special mask, as Xue Ke requested, it looked very scary, and the expression was frightened or frightened, depending on the situation. Xue Ke was overjoyed and picked an angry blue-faced Bluetooth mask. Ren Yao picked a laughing mask and looked at the intersection intently.

Half a moment later, a Tsing Yi carriage slowly drove up. Ren Yao felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, and took the mask to meet the carriage. Xian Gu put on a mask and walked out of the carriage, she was wearing a very sassy today, a green coat with narrow sleeves, a white armor on the outside, a pair of sheepskin boots on the soles of her feet, a small maid on the side led a good black covered snow horse, Shi Jia Liulang looked at the horse intently, guessing the identity of this girl.

Xue Ke said with a smile: "Everyone is here, let's try it!" ”

Several people turned over and got on their horses, and they were not tidy for a while. Ren Yao whispered to the fairy girl: "I'm right next to you, you don't have to be afraid!" The fairy girl glanced at him. Miss Shi kicked off, Xian Gu slightly waisted, hit the pole, and the ball passed steadily to Xue Ke. Xue Ke cheered and rode his horse to catch up.

Ren Yao was pleasantly surprised, he never expected that Xian Gu was actually a good polo player, and he didn't know Tai Tai even when he had eyes, so he hurriedly rode his horse to his place, and couldn't help but look back at Xian Gu, and felt that she was so alive for the first time.

At halftime, several people were sweating on their foreheads, so they rode to the sidelines to rest. Several people sympathized with each other, but they praised each other first, and then compared, and their confidence soared, and they felt that winning the championship was not a problem.

After practicing for half a while, Ren Yao said: "It's really fun today, why don't I do it, let's go have a drink?" ”

The fairy girl shook her head and said, "Let's go, I won't go, I'm a little tired, see you next time." ”

Although Ren Yao was a little disappointed, today was already a rare surprise, so he said, "Then I'll send you back first!" ”

The girl of the Shi family and Shi Liulang also got up to say goodbye, and said, "It's been out for most of the day today, and we'll go back first, and we'll meet again next time!" ”

Xue Ke also felt tired, thinking about going back to take a shower, and everyone dispersed. In the afternoon, Ren Yao sent someone to send a booklet, "Twenty Styles of Polo Secret Skills", saying that Xian Gu found it out for everyone's reference. Xue Ke only then knew that polo was prevalent in the court of the previous dynasty, and there were not a few concubines and princesses in the palace who were good at this skill, Xue Ke sighed that he was too lucky, and he also slightly understood that the reason why the fairy aunt agreed to her to participate in polo was that there was also a reason for the itching of skills. was able to indirectly help Ren Yao because of this matter, but Xue Ke eliminated a lot of the frustration that Ah Que couldn't join the team.

Mrs. Xue looked at her daughter sometimes proud, sometimes full of ambition, couldn't help laughing, and asked Ren Yao about the size of a few people, thinking about customizing a set of riding clothes for them. Xue Fu was even more boiling for the competition of his eldest girl, and everyone thought of various methods, including adding food to the horse, changing the horseshoe, and even Aunt Fang, who had a big belly and couldn't walk, was also helping to pick patterns for the embroidery on the saddle.

Xue Ke was busy practicing and competing every day, but he didn't go to see Ah Que for a while. As soon as the practice was over that day, she saw Ah Que's carriage waiting for her on the side of the road. Xue Ke was overjoyed in his heart, and rode over: "Ah Que! ”

Sure enough, the carriage curtain opened, revealing Ah Que's gentle face: "How sweaty!" This day is a bit poisonous, you practice a little earlier or later, against the big sun, beware of the heat. Xue Ke took the handkerchief handed by Ah Que to wipe his sweat, and said nonchalantly: "It's fun to play on the sun!" There is dew in the morning, and the run is not cool! ”

Ah Que looked at her dotingly: "Don't be angry with me, right?" ”

Xue Ke pouted: "Why aren't you angry!" It's just that I don't want to care! Besides, it's your regret that you don't come, and we won't have your share in winning the championship then!"

Ah Que was also envious of their practice, and nodded: "Yes, yes, of course it's my regret!" As long as you're not angry! I've got a good thing for you, come and see! ”

Ah Que waved his hand, and the long man beside him handed over a long box, Xue Ke opened it, but it was a polo stick, Xue Ke checked it with his hand, and felt quite comfortable.

"I looked at your hitting and power point, and it was not suitable for that kind of particularly light polo stick, so I ordered this one for you, which is slightly heavier than the one you originally used, but the shot is more stable, you can try this next time."

Xue Ke smiled sideways: "When did you secretly come to see me practice?" Do you want to spy on the military so that you can report to your cousin? ”

Ah Que had that ironic sense of powerlessness again, and he didn't know how to answer. Xue Ke bit his lip and said, "For your sake, forget it this time, next time you don't help me, I really don't pay attention to you!" ”

Ah Que hurriedly assured that there would be no next time. Xue Ke said excitedly again: "You said I won, how should I humiliate that prince?" ”

"Can you count it on my face? The third prince didn't provoke you after all, did he? Ah Que persuaded bitterly.

"Humph! I just want everyone to know that I, Xue Ke, the Xue family will not rush to cling to the three princes! There are always some people who hate it very much! And your mother, she's showing you a girl! ”

Ah Que listened to her talk in detail, and only then did she understand the source of her anger in the past few days, and hurriedly clarified: "Don't worry, that Miss Cheng is not for me to see!" Thinking of Xue Ke because he was jealous, because he wanted to leave others alone, my heart was sweet again. He told Xue Ke about the information about other polo teams that Xue Ke might encounter, including which teams had which hitters, which ones cooperated well, and which ones had loopholes.

Xue Ke was also amazed that Ah Que could inquire so carefully, she had a strong nature, since she boasted about Haikou, she couldn't break the sand before facing the three princes, so she wrote them down carefully one by one.

Just after the Duanyang Festival, the weather is hot day by day. This year's capital has been lit up by the polo club, all kinds of gossip is flying all over the sky, including a certain team invited a polo master to guide, which two teams are arguing about the color of their clothes, etc., the major gambling houses have opened the polo club's winning and losing handicap, so that this year's Hundred Flowers Club and so on are somewhat overshadowed, and in contrast, the polo club's viewing seats can be said to be hard to find, the price of the black market is also higher and higher, I heard that the seats in the front row have been fried to a sky-high price, enough for an ordinary family to eat and drink for three years.

The starting lineup of each team has been inquired, and the only mystery is Xue Ke's team, because they all wore masks in the later training, and the names reported sounded perfunctory, but the rules of the game did not limit the identity, so everyone was curious, and the team still successfully passed the pre-game registration and inspection.

On the opening day of the game, sure enough, the capital was boiling, the weather was also fun, the sun was like fire, a team of flags were flying, the young men and women on the horse were flamboyant, the drums of the racecourse and the shouts on both sides reflected the crystal sweat of the opponent, and they were interesting.

Under the shade of the trees on the side, the colorful canopies of each family are set up, and in it sit the young ladies and ladies of each family wearing veils. Most of the young men are in the stadium, and the sand raised by the polo can be scraped directly on the face, which is more direct and exciting to watch.

After three rounds of elimination, several teams stood out. Xue Ke couldn't help but sigh that Ah Que's intelligence was accurate, and sure enough, the two teams that were not obvious before the game entered the next round of the game, and Xue Ke and them also entered the next round as they wished.

Xue Ke and the others didn't have a game today, but a few people were quietly watching the two teams off the field in the Xue family's color shed. As if he was deliberately playing in the ring with Xue Ke and them, from the first game, the team also wore masks, Xue Ke was naturally dissatisfied, but I heard that in addition to the three princes, the seven princes in the palace and a young Hanlin bachelor who was newly sealed last year also served as the rear striker in the team, so this team has undoubtedly become the most sensational team in the entire polo game and the team that attracts the most beautiful eyes. However, those sons and brothers are about the same size, and they are wearing masks, Xue Ke listened to the people next to him guess for a long time, and he didn't know which one was the third prince. The team was indeed good, with several batsmen being accurate and ruthless, cheering every time they hit a ball.

As long as the fairy girl is not on the court, she has a fairy aura, except for Xue Ke and a few others, it is difficult to imagine her heroic appearance on the field. The fairy girl picked up a cup of tea and took a sip gently, and the grandmother on the side took her own enamel pot and added tea. Immortal Gu said lightly to Xue Ke on the side: "This team is indeed not to be underestimated. ”

Xue Ke snorted, and Ren Yao continued: "Although the left rear hitter is young, he has a good sense of hitting the ball, he runs fast, and he returns to defense in time, but the control of equestrianism is a little rusty, and the strength is also a little thinner, let's let the Shi brothers match, the Shi brothers have great strength and can suppress his skills." ”

Immortal Gu smiled slightly: "That's exactly the truth. One force will drop ten. ”

Xue Ke volunteered: "I'm looking at the main hitter." ”

The girl of the Shi family frowned and said, "Why don't you let Brother Ren go?" I think he is very ruthless, you are safe in the second setter. ”

Xue Ke said with a smile: "Ren Yao, forget it, let him stay next to the fairy girl, otherwise he will also be out of place." ”

Ren Yao's face turned red, he didn't know why, the more he came into contact with the fairy girl, the more he thought that he was approaching a whirlpool and was deeply attracted to it. What comforted him was that the fairy girl was also becoming more and more popular in front of him, once he hit a wrong ball, the fairy girl rarely blackened her face, and his heart was simply happy.

The day of May 15 finally came, and the Xue Mansion was boiling in the morning, although Mrs. Xue promised to take a few more people to the stadium, but in the end the location was limited, Aunt Fang was persuaded for a long time, before dispelling the idea of going to the scene with a big belly to cheer and shout, each person who was selected had an expression of honor, wearing new clothes and waving ribbons specially made by Mrs. Xue, with a new face, high momentum, and a bit of the style of going to the battlefield.

When Xue Ke was waiting for the scene, he saw his own unified support, which was funny and moving. Ren Yao's side is even more exaggerated, he was originally the young leader of the dark gang, and the momentum made by the people below is even greater.

The Shi family is very simple, and the seven elder brothers in the family came over, standing like a hill, lined up with serious expressions. The fairy girl sat quietly on the horse, even with a hideous mask, she also had a noble and inviolable aura on her body, although the people on the side were curious, but no one dared to come forward to talk.

Xue Ke looked at each other, although it was not as exaggerated as them, but it was probably because of the two princes, many people in ordinary clothes were wearing ordinary clothes in the field, but at first glance, they were people from the Imperial Forest Army, their faces were different from the relaxation and excitement of the spectators, with a sense of vigilance.

But the team's real fanatical fans are every lady on the field. can make these daughters who don't go out of the boudoir on weekdays come to the polo field with a mixed crowd under the scorching sun, of course, it is the aura of the two princes. Although they are reserved, they are not merciless in their spending.

The polo club has promised to donate 20% of the ticket cost to the affected provinces this year, and then set up a donation box on the side, and those who support a certain team can donate in the name of that team, and the donation list is far ahead of the three princes and their team, and the amount of each donation is clearly written on the list.

As the first and auxiliary prime minister, the Yang family naturally topped the donation list.

Yang Siniang was also on the field. She sat in the best position of the color shed with a good demeanor, covering half of her face with a fan in her hand, of course she knew that countless princes and princes on the field were secretly looking at her, so she became more and more dignified, just smiled slightly, and several ladies sat around her.

"Sister Yang's dress today is really beautiful!"

"Yes! Just now, the third prince seemed to take a look at this side! ”

"Really! It is normal for the third prince to look at it, whose son does not secretly look at the sister of the Yang family. ”

Several girls laughed in a low voice, which attracted the sons next to them to sneak a glance. I saw them smiling like flowers, and I was even more itchy.

Yang Siniang gently reminded: "Sisters, whisper." "But in my heart I was proud.

With the sound of the gong opener, the two teams rode their horses to the field. The field suddenly fell silent, and the polo field of thousands of people suddenly held their breath as they watched two teams wearing masks face each other. A ball was tied to the middle with a rope, and the well-suited referee pulled it hard, and the polo fell from the colored rope, and both teams made a sound of riding horses and rushed from their respective directions to the middle of the court.

Xian Gu took the lead, the first to touch the ball, Ren Yao was protecting the left and right, the ball was transmitted between the two, Xue Ke had already ridden to the front, Xian Gu saw the right time to pass the ball, Xue Ke did not turn the horse's head, heard the wind and fell backwards and raised the polo stick, but there was a person on the opposite side of the face, there was no posture of retracting the horse, Xue Ke had to clamp his legs, his hand pulled the reins slightly sideways, and the person opposite laughed heartily: "Thank you!" Then he pulled the reins slightly.

It's just that the two of them are entangled, and one person next to them has already caught the ball and attacked Xue Ke and them. Fortunately, the Shi brothers on Xue Ke's side stopped him, and when the two were glued together, Ren Yao inserted an oblique and passed it to the fairy girl, who saw that Xue Ke in front of him was being stared at, although it was far away from the front court, but it was a hard hit, and the ball flew directly to the front court, although it did not enter the hole, but it caused a riot in the opponent.

After most of the game, the score was 3-3, and the audience was already boiling. Beads of sweat were on everyone's foreheads, and the competitive spirit of the opponents and young people made the eyes of both sides look at each other seriously and hot. Each ball could seal the win, and the battle intensified.
