Chapter 205: Getting back together
Di Yan never imagined that Li Zhen would run towards him in front of everyone's eyes, so ecstatic, so disregardful, the joy on his face, as if they had just defeated not the weak Xiangguo team, but the strong Qianqi battalion.
Di Yan took two steps back, her face suddenly turned red, she lowered her head in a panic, secretly hating why she was instigated by her grandmother to watch this game, she thought that she would secretly watch a game, and then sneak away, he couldn't show up, I didn't think he actually saw it, it was really strange!
Di Yan forgot about it, there are really few old ladies who are obsessed with polo like her grandmother, and of course they are very conspicuous when they stand on the side of the court.
Di Yan was flustered, like holding her grandmother's hand, but she grabbed a vacancy, and when she turned around, she saw that her grandmother had already gotten into the carriage, and was leaning out of the window to smile and wave to her, "Ah Yan, it doesn't matter if you come back later!"
Di Yan stomped her foot in a hurry, "Grandmother, why are you—"
Li Zhen seized the opportunity, turned over and stepped forward immediately, "I implore Miss Di to comment on the shortcomings of our game!"
The people around have dispersed, leaving very quickly, and there will be a wonderful game in the Qianqiying Polo Stadium after a while, by the Liang Wang team against the Fangzhou team, which is actually the Luling King team, which is also a very exciting game, and this side will be a game between two weak teams, the Zhaozhou team against the Jinzhou team, which really can't arouse everyone's interest.
Di Yan didn't disperse with everyone, nor did she leave angrily, although she was angry with Li Zhen, but she also knew in her heart that with the status of Guan Wan'er and her age, she couldn't really commit to marrying Li Zhen, if she gave up Li Zhen just like that, she would only be cheap Wang whispered in vain.
So angry is angry, she didn't go to extremes, as for her watching polo with her grandmother today, she actually had a little intention of giving up the Cold War.
Although he didn't turn around and leave, his face was a little unbearable, Di Yan said coldly: "I don't know what polo is, don't ask me." ”
Li Zhen touched a nail and said again: "I won by luck today, I got a little carried away, can you allow me to put a glass of wine and make amends to Miss Di!"
Di Yan wanted to ridicule him a few more words, but when he glanced at him, he saw that he was pious, and his heart softened again, but his face was still cold: "If you make amends, you will be forgiven, I can't afford it, but you still owe me a few favors, you should pay them back to me, you say! Where are you going to repay my favors?"
The implication was that he agreed to go with him for a glass of wine, Li Zhen was suddenly overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Let's go to the Left Bank Wine Shop!"
Without waiting for Di Yan to answer, Jiu Zhixing rushed over and said, "Lao Li, everyone asks where to drink the celebration wine!"
Li Zhen glared at him fiercely, what a brainless guy, what are you doing here at this time?
Jiu Zhi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly saw Di Yan, he scratched his head embarrassedly and smiled: "Why don't Miss Di go to the celebration bar with us!"
Li Zhen's heart moved, this is not bad, if Di Yan is willing to drink celebration wine together, this can avoid a lot of embarrassment, he looked at Di Yan tentatively, to see if she is willing to go with her, if not, he will invite her alone.
Di Yan smiled happily: "Since the old fat invited me to drink, how can I not give this face? No problem, I'll just go with you." ”
Di Yan readily agreed to Jiuzhi's invitation, which Li Zhen didn't expect, but he could also understand that if Di Yan readily agreed to his invitation, where would her face go?
The celebration banquet is still placed in the Mingli wine shop next to the North Market, perhaps because of the polo tournament in the past two days, the business of the wine shop is surprisingly hot, and the thirty private rooms are all full, only to see that the bartenders are so busy that their feet do not touch the ground, and the shopkeeper runs over and shouts: "Is there any orchid to accompany the wine?" ”
Li Linfu grabbed him, "Shopkeeper, our side-"
The sweaty shopkeeper was still standing at the door with a group of guests, and they were all wearing polo samurai uniforms, obviously the team that had just finished the game, he said with a bitter face: "I'm really sorry, the shop is full, there are no empty rooms." ”
Everyone looked at each other and rushed over, but there was no place to eat, Li Zhen frowned and said, "Do you want to go to another house to see?"
The shopkeeper smiled bitterly and said, "I advise you to go to the South City to try it, anyway, the North City is all full." ”
At this time, a group of people walked out of the corridor, and it seemed that they had just finished eating, Li Linfu hurriedly said: "There must be a vacant room, the shopkeeper will help us take a look." ”
"Wait a minute, everybody, I'll take a look. ”
The shopkeeper rushed away, sweating profusely for a moment, "You're really lucky, there's a wine house vacant, please come with me." ”
Everyone sat down in the spacious wine room, which was large enough to accommodate twenty or thirty people to drink and eat together, and the team led by Li Zhen consisted of more than ten people, not only the players, but also the retinue and grooms, who were called together to celebrate the victory of the first game.
Although Di Yan seemed to have accepted Jiuzhi's invitation to come here to drink and celebrate with them, when the seats were finally arranged, everyone consciously gave up the seats next to Li Zhen, and Di Yan hesitated for a long time, and finally sat down.
"I tell you that I won't talk to you today. Di Yan bit her lip and glared at him fiercely.
"We don't talk, we just drink!"
Li Zhen poured her a glass of wine with a smile, and when he saw that everyone had wine in their glasses, he picked up his wine glass and stood up, and everyone also stood up, Di Yan glared at him, and had to stand up with him.
"Today we were lucky, of course we played very well, we beat our first opponent, we finished in the top 32, we are one step closer to our lowest goal, for today's victory, and for our next victory, we drank this cup!"
Li Zhen raised the wine glass high and drank it all, and everyone shouted, "Cheers!" Everyone raised their wine glasses and drank all the wine in the glass.
Everyone sat down, and the shopkeeper personally brought them barbecue and dozens of side dishes with a few bartenders, and the shopkeeper asked with a smile, "May I ask which team are you?"
"We're an inside-back polo team!" said Jiuzhi.
"It turned out to be the internal defense polo team, it seems that you won today, I heard other guests talking about you, saying that you will be the most unexpected team this year, I wish you the final championship!"
Li Zhen smiled and raised his wine glass, "Thank you for the kind words of the shopkeeper!"
The shopkeeper retreated, and everyone raised their chopsticks to cut the meat and began to eat it, at this time, Jiu Zhi's mouth was stuffed with meat, and he asked vaguely: "Lao Li, when will we draw lots in the next round?"
The first round won't end until tomorrow afternoon. ”
"Lao Li, who do you want to be next?" Di Yan asked after taking a sip of wine.
Li Zhen was immediately flattered, he didn't expect Di Yan to take the initiative to talk to him, this question seemed to be not only interesting to Di Yan, everyone put down their chopsticks, Li Zhen thought about it and smiled: "I have specially analyzed the teams participating in this polo tournament before, and they can be divided into three camps, such as the Thousand Cavalry Battalion Team, the Taiping Mansion Team, the Liangwang Military General Team, the Yulin Army, the Ganzhou Team, etc., they belong to the first camp, and finally they compete for the crown."
The rest of the teams are divided into the second and third camps, the third camp is like the state teams and the Xiangwang team, the strength is weaker, it is estimated that the first round will be eliminated, so from the second round of the game, they are all strong rivals, if we are lucky, we can meet a team in the second camp, there is hope to win again.
But we have to be prepared for the best chance that we will meet one of last year's top 10 teams, which is the first camp. ”
Everyone was silent, Li Zhen was right, in the second round of the competition, I am afraid they will encounter a real rival.
At this time, Di Yan smiled and said: "My grandmother said that you have great potential, today's table is no less than the tenth Youzhou team last year, and your real strength is incomprehensible, my grandmother said that your final result will definitely surprise many people, and she will support you all the way." ”
Di Yan's words made everyone grateful, Li Zhen raised his glass and smiled: "For the encouragement that Old Madam Di gave us, we made this toast!"
Everyone drank the wine in the cup together, and then the door was pushed open, and two people walked in from the outside, one in front was about fifty years old, medium in stature, with tiger eyes and square face, it was Zhang Li's father Zhang Ting, the deputy military envoy of Shazhou, and the one behind was Li Pan.
Zhang Ting smiled when he entered the door: "I'm late!"
Everyone stood up, Li Zhen greeted him, bowed and saluted, "Uncle Zhang, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
Zhang Ting smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "You have always surprised me, but it is reasonable, I believe you will continue to surprise me." ”
"Uncle Shi, please sit down!"
Li Zhen introduced Zhang Ting and Li Pan behind to everyone, and everyone knew that this middle-aged man turned out to be Zhang Li's father, and the young man was actually Li Zhen's brother, and everyone stepped forward to salute.
At this time, Di Yan pulled Li Zhen aside and asked in a low voice, "Didn't you say that there are only two sisters and brothers, why did a clan brother pop up?"
Li Zhen smiled bitterly and said: "I actually have a family, but I have a contradiction, if it weren't for the fear that the Dunhuang Li family would be pulled over by Lai Junchen, I wouldn't ignore this clan brother, it's hard to say, I'll go back and tell you in detail." ”
"Go!" Di Yan gave him a blank look, "I'm just asking casually, who rarely listens to your explanation?"
At this time, Di Yan saw that everyone was sitting down, so she hurriedly pulled Li Zhen by the hand, and the two of them also sat down.
"Uncle Shi, what is the result of the game between you and the Taiping Mansion team?" As soon as he sat down, Li Zhen asked eagerly, his hometown is in Dunhuang, and of course he cares about the results of the Shazhou team.
Zhang Ting smiled bitterly and said, "Do you still need to ask? We lost two goals and lost to them. ”
Zhang Ting seemed reluctant to say more, but Li Pan said angrily: "There are arrogant scoundrels in the Taiping Mansion, they hid a hidden blade in the game, and injured our two horses. ”
Everyone was in an uproar, it was unbelievable that such a thing happened in a polo tournament, Zhang Ting sighed and said: " In fact, this kind of thing happened last year, you don't know, last year when Xue Huaiyi's polo team played against the Lingzhou team, seeing that he couldn't win in the end, he used a dark arrow to injure the main general of the Lingzhou team, which turned defeat into victory, and the strong Suzhou team, on the eve of the Taipingfu team, had collective diarrhea, and had to withdraw from the game, the Taipingfu team won without a fight, and thus entered the top ten, everyone understands this matter, but what can be said?"
At this time, Li Zhen took a sip of wine and said slowly to everyone: "Although the polo tournament is an entertainment competition, there is a deep political competition behind it, so it is normal for these situations to occur.
Everyone should remember one point, the stadium is like a war, all kinds of deceit, tricks and plots will appear, although we do not plot against others, we must also prevent being plotted by others, so after eating this celebration banquet today, we will honestly stay in the office of the Internal Security Department, and no one is allowed to go out at will. ”
