After lunch, everyone led their horses back to persuade Shanfang, but Li Zhen took out a silver medal and handed it to Di Yan, and said with a smile: "This silver medal is for you, with which you can enter our Internal Security Department." ”

Di Yan glanced at the silver medal, and pouted slightly, "What do you want me to do, I don't want it!"

Li Zhen smiled and grabbed her hand and stuffed the silver medal into her hand, "I hired you to be our scout, deliver the news for us, and give you a reward of thirty yuan." ”

Di Yan glanced at him, "It's only thirty yuan to want this girl to run errands for you, it's too little, at least one hundred yuan." ”

"That's a hundred yuan!" Li Zhen said with a grin.

"That's pretty much it!" Di Yan finally accepted the silver medal, and said, "Now you send this girl home first, and when I am in a good mood one day, I will come over and earn your hundred yuan." ”

"Willing to serve Miss Di!"

Li Zhen said to everyone, and then accompanied Di Yan to Anyefang

After two days of fierce competition, the first round of the polo field knockout tournament finally ended, sixty-four teams were eliminated in half, and thirty-two winners entered the second round of knockout as they wished, for the first round of the game, the people of Luoyang did not have too many comments, after all, the number of thirty-two teams is too much, dazzling, making it impossible to make accurate predictions, many senior fans are even more reluctant to comment lightly, lest their comments be wrong, ruining their hard-won reputation.

The second knockout round was officially held three days later, and it only took one day to complete the match, and in the second round of the draw, the internal defense team faced Youzhou, who finished ninth in last year's tournament.

The Youzhou team is also a strong army polo team, under the command of the Youzhou Governor's Office, most of their polo players are Liaodong cavalry who can fight well, and they all have a high level of riding and archery, just like the Youzhou polo team does not know about the internal guard polo team, Li Zhen also knows nothing about this team.

In the second round of the game, Wu Zetian, the son of the Tang Dynasty, finally appeared, she appeared in the game scene of the Fangzhou team and the Ganzhou team, as we all know, the Fangzhou team is the team of Li Xian, the king of Luling, four of the five main polo players are the Li royal family, and the other is Wei Bo, the nephew of Li Xian's wife Wei, so it is also known as the royal team.

The Fangzhou polo team is last year's eighth-placed Liangzhou team, which is very strong and is one of the favourites to win the championship, especially with three Qiangdihu people in the team, their riding skills are particularly elusive, in last year's tournament, they defeated the equally strong Longyou Polo team with a score of 4-1 to reach the quarterfinals.

The polo game was fiercely played in the hoarse shouts of the spectators, the horses galloped on the court, the polo flew fast, and the two teams played inseparably.

Wu Zetian was expressionless, staring coldly at the polo game on the field, Gao Yanfu stood aside, carefully explaining to Wu Zetian the shape on the field, although there were attacks again and again on the field, but Wu Zetian was always unmoved.

Gao Yanfu was keenly aware that the saint hadn't watched the polo game at all, but he didn't know what she was thinking, Gao Yanfu closed his mouth in time and stopped making unnecessary explanations.

At this time, Wu Zetian turned around and asked Shangguan Wan'er with a smile, "Is the internal guard team also playing?"

Shangguan Wan'er was standing next to Wu Zetian, but she knew Wu Zetian's mind better than Gao Yanfu, she knew why Shengshang came to see the game of the Fangzhou team, and she also understood what Shengshang was thinking, but she didn't interrupt Shengshang's train of thought, just stood quietly aside.

Seeing that the saint asked herself, Shangguan Wan'er hurriedly bowed and said, "Back to Your Majesty, they are playing a polo game in the Thousand Cavalry Camp!"

Wu Zetian smiled and said, "Let's go and take a look!"

Gao Yanfu hurriedly said to the guards: "Swing, the saint is going to the Thousand Cavalry Camp Polo Field!"

Wu Zetian boarded the dragon chariot, and hundreds of guards guarded left and right, together with more than 100 eunuchs and palace maids, surrounded Wu Zetian's dragon chariot and headed towards the Qianqi camp polo field.

At this time, there was also a sea of people outside the stadium of the Thousand Cavalry Camp, nearly 50,000 people gathered around the stadium to watch the game, the shouts were undulating like waves, the drums shook the earth, the two polo teams played inextricably on the court, and the scores were always glued together.

When the Youzhou team won the first place, less than half a cup of tea, Li Zhen returned a goal, the current score between the two sides is 3-3, and there is only a quarter of an hour left before the end of the whole game, which makes tens of thousands of spectators crazy, and everyone mentions their throats.

Di Yan accompanied her grandmother to sit in the stands, she covered her face with her hands, and when the Youzhou team attacked with the ball, she was so nervous that she didn't dare to look at it anymore.

Although Mrs. Di was a big fan of the Taiyuan team, the Taiyuan team disappointed her, being eliminated by the Ganzhou team in the first round, and she is now a fan of the internal guard, holding a small red flag in her hand to cheer for the internal guard's game.

At this time, the spectators in the stands flashed to both sides, a team of guards appeared, opening up an open space, and then a hundred guards escorted the empress Wu Zetian in regular clothes appeared, followed by dozens of palace maids and eunuchs on both sides, their arrival almost occupied most of the stands, and the spectators in the original stands had to be forced to leave.

Mrs. Di's grandfather and grandson sat on the side, fortunately escaped the clearance, they were still sitting in the stands, Mrs. Di glanced at Wu Zetian with some disgust, continued to watch the game, and ignored her at all.

Wu Zetian smiled and asked, "What's the score now?"

Du Jingjian, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, hurriedly reported: "Your Majesty, now the score of the two teams is a 3-3 draw, and the game is over in a quarter of an hour. ”

"Oh-" Wu Zetian let out a long sigh and asked with interest, "What if the game is over or there is a draw?"

"If it's still a draw, the Wensai will be played, that is, the individual shot will decide the winner, and we will solve the problem, and each side will send three people out to shoot, and the winner of the Wensai will win the game. ”

"It's quite interesting, if there is such a Wensai, I would like to see it. ”

Speaking of this, Wu Zetian suddenly saw Old Madam Di, she was slightly stunned, and asked with a curious smile: "Is such an old woman also coming to see the game?"

Du Jingjian bowed down and reported: "Qi Yu Xià, that is the mother of Yuan Di Xiangguo, a well-known horse fan. ”

"It turned out to be her!" Wu Zetian said with a smile: "No wonder I feel a little familiar, Du Shilang, can you invite Old Madam Di to come over and see you?"

Du Jingjian rushed over, and Shangguan Wan'er whispered to Wu Zetian again: "Your Majesty, next to me is Di Xiangguo's youngest daughter, who has a very close relationship with Li Zhen." ”

Wu Zetian heard her use the word 'intimacy', and couldn't help but look at her strangely, she realized something, and smiled: "A young man like Li Zhen, which girl doesn't like him, it's understandable." ”

After a while, Mrs. Di was invited to Wu Zetian, although Mrs. Di was very disdainful of Wu Zetian's non-compliance with the etiquette law, but she had a good order, and at the same time, in order for her son to return to Beijing as soon as possible, she still showed the courtesy that a courtier should have, she knelt down and kowtowed with the support of her granddaughter, "Courtiers see my emperor's majesty!"

Wu Zetian hurriedly said: "Old lady, please get up quickly and sit down!"

A palace maid placed an embroidered pier next to her, Di Yan helped her grandmother sit down, and Wu Zetian said with a smile: "If I remember correctly, the old lady has been seventy-five years old this year!"

Old Madam Di was surprised by Wu Zetian's memory, and hurriedly bowed and said, "The old lady is indeed seventy-five today. ”

"It's not easy!" Wu Zetian sighed and said: "Seventy-five years old is still so healthy, crowded in the crowd to watch a polo game, it is admirable, I don't have such a good body." ”

"His Majesty is a dragon body, he has a lot of opportunities, and he works hard for state affairs, unlike the old woman's simple requirements, there is food to eat, there are polo games to watch, and I am satisfied when I can hear the news of my son's health. ”

Wu Zetian heard the slight dissatisfaction in Mrs. Di's words, she pretended not to understand, turned her eyes to Di Yan again, and smiled at her: "I remember that your father asked me for leave back then, saying that he was happy to have a daughter and wanted to rush home to celebrate, but I didn't expect to grow into a big girl in this moment, and she was so beautiful and beautiful, time flies so fast!"

She asked again, "Miss Di should be fifteen years old this year!"

Di Yan curtsied, "Back to Your Majesty, the little girl is fifteen years old this year." ”

Wu Zetian smiled slightly: "It's fifteen, and it's almost the age to talk about marriage, I don't know if I can marry someone, or if I have someone I like?"

Di Yan's face suddenly turned red, and she didn't know how to answer for a while, and the old lady Di next to her smiled: "The old lady and granddaughter are both staunch supporters of Commander Li, and they come to see him play every time, hoping that his team can win." ”

Wu Zetian laughed, "It turns out that Miss Di likes Commander Li, he is very good, upright and promising, brave, and talented, but as far as I know, there are many little girls who like him, and Miss Di has to work hard!"

Di Yan glanced at Shangguan Wan'er, and plucked up the courage to say: "Thank you for your concern, but Di Yan and Commander Li are just ordinary friends, far from what Your Majesty said."

"Ah Yan!" Old Madam Di reminded her, "You can't be so rude when talking to Your Majesty. ”

Wu Zetian smiled and waved his hand, "It's okay, I also came over from the little girl, I can completely understand, Miss Di and Ling Zun are really similar!"

Wu Zetian looked at Di Yan and sighed softly.

At this time, the spectators on both sides suddenly shouted like a tsunami, the game was about to end, but at this time the situation on the field began to take a turn, only to see Li Zhen single-handedly break through the interception of the two rear troops, and galloped towards the hole a hundred steps away, and the polo jumped in front of him, extremely fast.

The two rear soldiers of the Youzhou team were shocked and desperately chased after Li Zhen, but Li Zhen's famous horse red smoke and snow under his crotch were running like lightning, and the degree was getting faster and faster, and the distance between the two rear soldiers behind him gradually widened, and there were still about forty-five steps from the hole, and the polo stopped and lay quietly on the ground.

I saw Li Zhen's war horse rushing like a cloud, Li Zhen deviated from the saddle sideways, swung his cane and shot hard, the stick hit the polo on the ground, and the polo rose into the air, like a meteor flying across the night sky, shooting straight into the hole, and the polo entered the hole.

The surroundings of the stadium suddenly boiled, countless people raised and shouted, ecstatic, although the internal defense team was participating in the game for the first time, it belonged to the team in the capital, so the vast majority of the audience supported the internal defense team, and their hearts were biased towards it.

The inner defenders took the lead at the last minute and the crowd was furious, while the Youzhou team was so frustrated that many polo players threw their sticks to the ground in pain.

There is less than half a cup of tea left, and there is only one round of attack and defense at most, Li Zhen shouted in a hoarse voice: "All retreat, retreat to the rear camp defense!"

At the critical moment, all five polo players withdrew to their back camp, regardless of blocking the crazy attack of the Youzhou team, Zhang Li's horse and another opponent's horse collided violently, the war horse was seriously injured, and both polo players fell to the ground.

Li Zhen yelled at Jiuzhi, "Leave him alone, prevent your right attack!"

Jiuzhi transferred the horse back, just as the polo flew past him, seeing that the opponent was about to shoot, Jiuzhi flew over, regardless of the qiē first swing the stick, hit the polo, the polo was knocked out of the court, fell into the crowd, Jiuzhi also lost his balance and fell from the horse, but his staff sabotaged the last attack of the Youzhou team.

'When!' the gong sounded for the whole game.

Li Zhen jumped off his horse and flew on Jiuzhi, laughing wildly with excitement, and all his teammates rushed up and pressed on them, celebrating their victory in the second game.

At this moment, Di Yan and her grandmother also forgot about the female emperor behind them, they were so excited that they raised their fists together and shouted, "We won!"
