【Chapter 25: The Wind Blows】(1)
When Li Bao'er heard this, she immediately turned her head to look for it, but she didn't find anything, so she couldn't help frowning and pouting, and snorted lightly. Seeing her mother looking at her with a faint face, she was busy with her face and stood up obediently.
Princess Taiping glanced at Shangguan Wan'er beside her first, lowered her head and leaned over to say something, causing Shangguan Wan'er, who had been silent, to shake her head and laugh, and sighed leisurely: "Who do you say she is hiding?" ”
Regarding what Xiao Jiangyuan did today, Shangguan Wan'er didn't quite understand it. This is very different from what she knows about Xiao Jiangyuan, and when she heard Princess Taiping say this, she was a little surprised. Xiao Jiangyuan looks like this, isn't he just hiding? Is she hiding from a saint? It seems that it is not, otherwise she would not have interfered in the polo field at all, giving the saint a chance to notice her. So among all these people, who else can she hide, and why?
Seeing Shangguan Wan'er in deep thought, Princess Taiping took her arm, leaned into her ear and whispered: "One person is hiding from another, there are only three reasons, either power, this is definitely wrong, or money, this is even more impossible, then only love is left - is she hiding from Bao'er?" ”
"Impossible!" Shangguan Wan'er blurted out.
"How could it not be? Although Xiao Jiangyuan is an internal servant, she is also half a man, and she knows better than anyone how she has been treated in the past few years. ”
Shangguan Wan'er immediately remained silent when she realized that she had lost her words, and when she saw that Li Xian had led everyone to sit down, she sighed busily: "What does this matter have to do with you and me, this bow is what you should pay attention to now." ”
"Got it." Princess Taiping chuckled, and pulled Shangguan Wan'er into her place together.
Li Dan followed behind his sister and paused when he passed by the five sons standing aside. He first glanced at Li Longji lightly, and said in a deep voice: "Don't think I don't know what you did. ”
It seems that Aya knew that Fang Cai's tune was changed by herself. Li Longji's face did not change, and even if he wanted to take a long time, he was lightly reprimanded by Li Dan: "Okay, you suddenly salute like this, and in the eyes of Fannu, I don't know what you will say." ”
Li Longji immediately returned to his original position and stood up, bowing his head slightly: "It's San Lang's, I hope Aya forgives." ”
Li Dan turned his eyes to look at the other four sons and said, "After that, no matter what happens, if you dare to come forward rashly, you don't have to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion in the future." ”
As soon as he heard this, even Li Longye, who was the most favored on weekdays, couldn't help but be a lot more honest. Li Longji watched Li Dan leave his seat, his eyes were deep, and he was silent for a long time, until his shoulder was patted by his eldest brother, and he smiled as if nothing happened: "Let's go, we should also take a seat." ”
After everyone sat down, Li Xianfang said, "Let's start." ”
In the tactful and melodious music, two teams of Datang and Tubo entered at the same time from both sides of the venue. Ten Tibetans, all dressed in dark red tight-fitting brocade robes, held unadorned and only painted red painted moon scepters, and rode horses they had brought from Tibet under their crotch. These horses are smaller, but they are strong and agile, making them the perfect companion for polo.
"It's been a long journey, but I still transported these horses together...... Princess Taiping sneered, "It seems that this polo match was premeditated." ”
"So what?" Shangguan Wan'er looked light-hearted, "Those who should win will always win." ”
Princess Taiping held her cheeks and frowned: "You are so indifferent to the victory or defeat of my Datang?" ”
Shangguan Wan'er's eyes rippled slightly, and she lowered her eyes and smiled: "Where can I care about this?" ”
"Since it is the people of the Tang Dynasty, it is a matter of national honor, and everyone should be concerned."
The people should care about the country, but how can the country really care about the people? In times of internal turmoil, everyone has their own camp, and who can control whom? Now in the face of foreign countries, they have exposed the past enmity and enmity together, and they are united with the outside world. Shangguan Wan'er sighed secretly in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face: "The princess is right." ”
"Xiao Jiangyuan really deserves to be brought out by you. Sometimes, the two of you really look alike, especially now that you don't eat oil and salt, which looks the most hateful. Princess Taiping snorted lightly, and then raised her eyes to look at the ten people in Datang.
They were the top ten of the royal polo team that Li Xian had personally trained, and they were all dressed in dark green lapel-neck tight-fitting robes, with their heads tied and their foreheads tied with jade, holding delicate moon scepters wrapped in animal skins, long boots, and riding tall and mighty Turkic horses. Not only are they very good-looking, but they are also very sassy, and now they are young, how majestic and graceful!
Not to mention Li Xian, who personally selected them, it was the other people of the Tang Dynasty, and they were also very satisfied with it, and they felt that it was only a matter of time before they won all three games - but they were wrong.
A drum beat and the game began.
At first, the Tibetan golfers just ran back and forth, not grabbing the ball, not intercepting the ball, let alone scoring goals, like trembling toddlers. But when Datang entered the three standards, they were like a different person, not only did they become faster, but the accuracy of the moon staff was also much higher. The players of Datang were unexpected, and Tubo's overtake came too quickly, and when they reacted to their underestimation of the enemy, Tubo had already entered the five standards.
Ten bids are a win, and one game is over. The Datang players immediately sorted out their minds and planned to overtake them again, but somehow, what they wanted to do and what they wanted to do seemed to be expected by the Tubo players in advance. They were overstretched for a while, and when they saw that Tubo had entered the ninth standard, they were anxious, and they left all their usual directors behind.
The first game ended with the victory or defeat of the ten bids of Tubo and the three bids of Datang in the strategizing of Tubo and the chaos of Datang.
After a quarter of an hour's rest, the second game began. After Li Xian's teaching, the players of Datang have only improved slightly, but they are still suppressed by Tubo everywhere, and they can't use any ability, and everyone outside the field is anxious and angry.
"What the hell are they doing?!" If Li Xian hadn't been sitting not far away, Li Longye would have lowered his voice and shouted directly.
Li Longfan tightened his eyebrows: "They play well on weekdays, but when we play against them, don't we also lose quite badly?" ”
"That's the third brother didn't play!" Li Longye immediately retorted, only to realize that there was something wrong with what he said now, and he couldn't help but sigh irritably, "Then they are not bad, why do they look like an embroidered pillow today?" ”
Li Chengyi only frowned and didn't speak, and Li Chengqi's gentle smile had long since disappeared, but Li Longji looked at the field steadily, looking thoughtful.
Li Chengqi didn't turn his head to look at the appearance of the third brother, but said, "San Lang, what do you see?" ”
The other three brothers immediately turned their heads to look at Li Longji, and when they saw him, they were amazed and said: "I can't imagine that these slaves are usually straightforward and rough-minded, but when they get to the polo field, they all become Zhuge Kongming." I think they have been specially trained, they have already seen through my Datang's tactics and mastered all the opportunities, our Datang players are known to themselves, but they don't know their opponents at all, how can they not be defeated? ”
Li Longye hurriedly said: "There is no turnaround? ”
"Unless it's replaced."
"In the saint's polo team, ten of them are the best, who else can they be replaced?"
"If you can't change it, then there's no way. They have won too much in the past, and they have never met a real master, and today's setback, their confidence has been crushed, and they are young and anxious, and they can't be slowed down if they don't spend a while. But why did the Tibetan golfers wait for them? Naturally, it is necessary to strike while the iron is hot, and hold this victory tightly in your hands. As soon as Li Longji's words fell, he felt that his arm was mentioned, and when he turned his head and saw Xue Chongjian's face angry, he couldn't help but chuckle lightly, "Why should my cousin be like this...... Why are you pulling me out?! ”
There was no suspense about the outcome on the field, and everyone's attention was drawn by the sound of this head. I saw the second son of Princess Taiping of Zhenguo dragging the third son of King Anguo, and walked straight to the drum on the right side of the Lin De Hall before stopping, the third son of King Xiang looked apprehensive and dazed, and the second son of the princess directly handed over the two drumsticks, and gave an order: "Knock!" ”
Others may not know, but a few acquaintances know that Li Longji plays the drum very well, and he also knows a lot about polo, and now he is playing the drum in order to boost morale, and he is the most suitable candidate for the leader.
When Li Longji was dragged over, he glanced sideways at his father not far away, and his heart was full of reluctance, which showed that not only Xue Chongjian and himself here, but also Li Shouli, the king of Yong, Li Yong, and Yang Shen, the concubine of the horse...... Even Li Chongmao, the king of Wen, came over with puffed cheeks.
Li Longji glanced at them solemnly, suddenly smiled, and took the drumstick. He stared at the field, and when Tubo was about to intercept Datang's ball again, he raised his right hand, falling and rising, with a bang, for a long time.
This sound is actually different from all the drums just now!
