He didn't need to, and ran towards the goal with the ball alone.

The three black-clothed military attachés stopped Li Yao at the same time, and in the chaos, the wooden ball was knocked out, and it flew to the viewing platform in the north like a streamer.

Li Yao rushed out of the three-person encirclement, clutching his stick to chase the wooden ball.

Cao Xun and Cao Shao chased after each other from the left and right, and the three fast horses marched in unison.

Li Yao glanced at Cao Shao coldly.

That was Cao Shao's former brother-in-law, and he felt guilty, plus he saw the cloud beads in the pavilion in front of him, Cao Shao couldn't help but be distracted, and was thrown down by the other two horses in a blink of an eye.

When he was three feet away from Qingfeng Pavilion, Cao Xun's staff first touched the wooden ball, and then Li Yao's staff hit his cane, causing the wooden ball to continue to fly forward, and after landing on the ground, it rolled forward for some distance, and was finally blocked by the wall under Qingfeng Pavilion.

Cao Xun and Li Yao continued to ride forward.

The horse's hooves slammed into the ground powerfully, shaking up pieces of floating soil, seeing the two horses getting closer and closer without the slightest intention of slowing down and turning around, Sun Yurong screamed and covered his face, not daring to look at the tragic situation of the horse hitting the wall.

Yunzhu became the only lady in Qingfeng Pavilion who dared to continue to witness this scene.

She couldn't see through Cao Xun, but she knew her brother's recklessness, she didn't want her brother to fight hard for a polo game, when the two were only a horse body away from the stone brick wall and no one showed signs of reining in the horse, Yunzhu grabbed the guardrail and shouted: "Brother! ”

The eager voice of his sister made Li Yao subconsciously turn the horse's head.

Yunzhu's hanging heart was half relieved, and at this moment, Cao Xun's horse had already reached directly below her.

Yun Zhu lowered his head and saw Cao Xun's staff stretched forward and accurately passed the hard wooden ball to Cao Shao's side, and at the same time, Cao Xun grabbed the reins with his left hand and pulled back, and his black fur majestic horse neighed and raised half of his body, and his raised front hooves were almost level with the ground.

Cao Xun clamped his legs tightly around the horse's belly, and raised his horse's front hooves high to keep it in the air for a few breaths, he raised his head and looked at Yunzhu, who was lying on the guardrail of the pavilion and his face was pale from excessive tension.

is so thrilling, but he smiled lightly, because his facial features were too handsome, and he even had a bit of a spirit that did not match his stable bearing.

Without waiting for Yunzhu to come back to his senses, the horse's front hooves landed, Cao Xun took a few steps back, and smiled at Li Yao, who stopped not far away: "Accept." ”

Li Yao looked helplessly at his sister in the pavilion.

Yunzhu preemptively: "I'm not worried about my brother yet. ”

Li Yao glanced at the stone wall a few steps away, and accepted his sister's explanation, but his sister is also concerned about it, like Cao Xun, no one cares!

The author has something to say:

Li Yao: Sure enough, the ginger is still old and spicy, I'll take it!

Uncle Great Country: ......

Chapter 10: A good one wants to get away with it

The polo match is played in six rounds, each of which lasts a quarter of an hour, with a break after the first three rounds.

Yunzhu was relieved to find that his brother had not been fighting to the end, and after being surrounded by Cao Xun's team again in the second game, his brother learned his lesson and began to pay attention to cooperating with his teammates.

It's just that this temporary cooperation can't be compared with the tacit understanding of the Cao team, and Li Yao's red team still lost in the third game.

Seeing that the twenty heroic men went to rest in the cross-courtyard on the side of the polo field, the ladies in the four pavilions also began to discuss the performance of Cao Xun and others with relish.

Sun Yurong comforted Yunzhu: "Your brother is still very powerful, and almost all the points won by the red team were won by him." ”

Li Yao is like a tiger, and Cao Xun's black team is a pack of wolves, although the wolves have scored more points by numbers, they can't successfully stop Li Yao every time.

Li Yao's power is known to the whole city, maybe someone dares to ridicule him in front of Li Yong, and if he is replaced by Li Yao, even a drunk bastard will not dare to touch Li Yao's moldy head.

Of course, Yunzhu knew how powerful her brother was, and she was curious about who would win if her brother and Cao Xun fought alone.

In this polo match, Yun Zhu can see clearly on the stage, and Cao Xun is more like a coach on the battlefield, who can formulate tactics and command every subordinate with ease. Under Cao Xun's tactics, Cao Shao and the nine have a chance to score, and even more points than Cao Xun, which shows that Cao Xun is different from his brother, as long as the black team wins, he doesn't care about the personal limelight at all.

Some voices could be heard in the distance:

"Even if the red team wins the next three games, this time it will only be a draw with the black team."

"It's impossible, the black team is so good, maybe the red team can't win a game."

"So if there is a father, there must be a son, Ning Guogong defeated the battle, and Li Shizi doesn't seem to be good."

The last sentence sounded quite harsh, and Yun Zhu looked at it coldly.

The lady who opened her mouth sat in the corner of the Guihe Pavilion, probably deliberately trying to stab Yunzhu, and when she spoke, a pair of eyes secretly looked over, and she happened to be caught by Yunzhu.

Yunzhu didn't recognize each other.

Forsythia leaned into her ear and reminded in a low voice: "Jiang Ling, her father is Tobe Langzhong, her brother drank too much in the restaurant last year, and after he came out, he was molesting the folk girl on the street, and he was bumped into by the prince and kicked out. Master Jiang knew that he was at a loss and didn't say anything, but this Jiang Ling hated us. ”

Yunzhu nodded.

Hubu Langzhong is the official position of the fifth grade, and it is very good that a Jinshi can slowly get to this position, but there are more than forty Langzhong in the six departments of the capital, at least in Yunzhu's opinion, one Langzhong is not a big official. And these noble ladies have their own circles, and Jiang Ling is difficult to insert and attract them to remember her as a person.

Yunzhu was about to teach this Jiang Ling a lesson, and in the Crane Pavilion, Gu Min opened his mouth coldly: "The battlefield situation is ever-changing, the right time, place and people are indispensable, Ning Guogong lost last time, and he may not win next time, no matter how loyal and good the Ningguo Mansion is, it will not be my turn to wait for the boudoir woman to speak wildly, and Li Shizi is the commander of the imperial guards appointed by the emperor, you can't ridicule him, do you think you know people better than the emperor?" ”

Gu Min's reprimand was very severe, and the ladies and maids in a circle near the Guihe Pavilion all quieted down, looked at Gu Min, and then looked at Jiang Ling, who was reprimanded.

Jiang Ling's little face was red and white.

She couldn't think clearly, the ladies of the Xungui family always laughed at them for being constrained in etiquette, why did Gu Min, as a leader in the circle of civil officials and ladies, defend Li Yunzhu?

Sun Yurong also jumped up, pointed at Jiang Ling across the pavilion and said with a smile: "Compared to now, Li Shizi's personal score is the highest, so it is not good in your eyes, is it only your brother's drunken and flirtatious people who are called heroes?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the ladies present were all surprised, most of them heard about Jiang Ling's brother's ugly thing for the first time.

Jiang Ling was so ashamed that he didn't have the face to stay, lifted his skirt and ran away in embarrassment.

Sun Yurong snorted at her back.

Yunzhu: "...... You're too vulgar too. ”

Sun Yurong: "...... I'm not angry with you yet. ”

Yunzhu: "Then there is no need to be so ugly, there is no appearance of a noble lady in the Guogong Mansion at all." ”

Sun Yurong stared at Yunzhu, remembering for a long time, and suddenly found one thing, although Yunzhu was pampered, she really didn't show any ugliness!

Yunzhu smiled, picked up the tea bowl, and saluted Gu Min in the Guihe Pavilion: "People in the world mostly judge heroes by success or failure, Miss Gu has a broad mind, and Yunzhu admires it." ”

Gu Min: "I don't dare to be, I'm just a quick talker." ”

The two of them each took a sip of tea, and then continued to stay in their respective circles, and did not interact with each other more.

At this time, Ma Gonggong, who was in charge of the polo field, came, followed by two little eunuchs holding trays, and on top of the trays were silk threads.

All the ladies looked at him curiously.

Ma Gonggong said with a smile: "The emperor and Niangniang are also quite interested in today's event, but unfortunately they don't have time to come and watch it in person, so I ask you girls to help select the top three with the most outstanding skills in this game, so that they can enter the palace after the game." ”

Sun Yurong said curiously: "How to choose?" ”

Ma Gonggong pointed to the red silk on the tray: "At the end of the competition, the tired girls moved to the stargazing tower and gave the silk to the leader in their minds." ”

Suddenly, a lady blushed nervously.

Ma Gonggong: "This is an elegant matter, the girls don't need to worry too much, just watch the game carefully and select fairly." ”

I thought in my heart, in order to let Uncle Daguo solve the marriage matter as soon as possible, the emperor really took great pains!

.

With Emperor Yuanqing's arrangement, the ladies no longer only focus on the scores of the red and black teams, but pay more attention to their personal performance.

As for whether someone will pay more attention to face and family background than ball skills when they send the tapestry later, only they know.

At the end of the last three games, the red team led by Li Yao only won one game.

However, Li Yao was convinced, his grandfather always said that he was brave and unstrategic, he didn't believe it before, after all, he won countless polo matches on his own, and today he was defeated by Cao Xun, Li Yao understood the importance of tactics.

"If Grandpa Guo has Yaxing, let's have another game next month?"

Riding on the horse, Li Yao said to Cao Xun with unfinished thoughts.

Cao Xun smiled: "If you have free time, you can't do it." ”

Li Yao got his promise, turned the horse's head and was about to leave.

One of the red team reminded: "The prince forgot, the emperor told us to go to the stargazing tower to be selected." ”

When the surrounding military attaches heard this, they laughed high and low, and their eyes fell on Cao Xun in unison.

Cao Xun looked helpless.

Li Yao really forgot what Father-in-law Ma said when he was resting before, and while slandering the emperor for having nothing to do, he teased Cao Xun: "Grandpa Guo should set the marriage as soon as possible, and it will save us time and effort to be a green leaf for you." ”

Cao Xun glanced at the other military attaches who saw the jokes, including the subordinates of the black team: "The emperor's good intentions are not just for me. ”

Looking at the dense colorful figures on the pavilion, there are fifty or sixty ladies, and the twenty single military attaches present, maybe someone can really harvest a good fate today.

Led by Cao Xun and Li Yao, the twenty young military attachés who were still fiercely fighting for the ball on the court just now rode horses and went to the stargazing tower with laughter.

The ladies were still waiting in place, and before inviting them over, Ma Gonggong prepared twenty wet wipes and asked Cao Xun and others to wipe their hands and faces.

Li Yao said impatiently: "This is also what the emperor asked you to arrange?" ”

Ma Gonggong smiled and said: "The slave maid's own idea, all of you are handsome and good-looking, why bother to let the dust damage the heroic appearance." ”

Li Yao didn't have the intention of getting married at all, so he wiped his face with a towel.

This dishonest cooperation, Ma Gonggong turned to Dingguo Gong Cao Xun, and saw that the grandfather of the country wiped it gently, and his demeanor was actually better than the little uncle next to him, so he was sure that the emperor's good intentions today will definitely come true, after all, the marriageable ladies in the capital are basically here today, and the grandfather will definitely be able to look at a beauty, and a character like the grandfather of the country, where will the beauty object?

As for Li Shizi, it doesn't matter if he wipes his face or not.

The little eunuchs took away the twenty soiled towels, and Ma Gonggong went to invite the ladies who had been prepared a long time ago.

For the sake of fairness, the ladies of the civil and military officials' families were lined up in two rows, and each time two ladies were selected in the stargazing tower.

Yun Zhu and Gu Min were in the first place.

Yun Zhu only held a red silk in his hand, Gu Min held a red silk in one hand, and a fan in the other hand to half-cover his face, dignified and gentle, natural and natural.

As soon as the second daughter entered the stargazing building, the young military attachés in the building all looked over, because Gu Min blocked his face, and the people who looked at Yunzhu became the majority.

At that moment, the men's breathing seemed to stop.

Li Yao looked left and right, and snorted: "It's in vain, none of the people present are worthy of my sister." ”

If a girl is praised by her brother so highly, she will inevitably blush, Yunzhu just smiled and walked straight to the middle.

Li Yao, Cao Xun, and Cao Shao are all here.
