40 Chapter 40

The whole Guan Po field was boiling.

"Boss Zhu? Who is Boss Zhu? ”

"I've never heard of a member surnamed Zhu in the capital who is so generous......"

"Maybe it's from outside the country!"

"Yes! It's rare to have such a good thing, I'll add two more bets and bet on the prince of Qin to ......"

After a while, the sign standing in the field was replaced. Li Chengan stepped on his feet and looked at it, and saw that the odds of one to ten were replaced by one to two.

Shangjing is really a good place full of gold, and there are many gentry who spend a lot of money on polo. Seeing that there was such a wronged boss rushing to send money out, everyone around him hurriedly added their bets.

"Why are you stunned, why don't you go quickly?" Li Chengan turned around and kicked the guard.

The guards were in quick succession, carrying a pile of their purses, and squeezed into the crowd.

And in the polo field in the distance of Qujiang Pond, you can't hear the excitement on the field. Yan Ting brought the flowing fire over for Fang Linyuan, Fang Linyuan held the saddle with one hand, turned over and jumped on the horse.

Yan Ting handed him the polo club with both hands.

Fang Linyuan took the cue. The slender gold-clad ebony cue is not as long as his gun, and it is also fluttering in his hand.

He rubbed the club back and forth in the palm of his hand, adjusted a more comfortable grip posture, and was about to turn around when he raised his eyes and saw Wang Chang not far away.

He was holding the club, making a few exaggerated strokes back and forth, and showed a provocative smile towards Fang Linyuan. And the third prince, Zhao Jin, was also standing on the edge of the court, looking at him with a smile.

Although he stared at Fang Linyuan, when he raised his voice to speak, his words were directed at Wang Chang: "The queen mother specially rewarded a set of white jade and gold saddles given by the emperor as a color head, Wang Shizi, this prince heard that your horse was taken away, and he specially added a good horse, which is just right for that saddle!" ”

Wang Chang immediately laughed and responded: "Then I will thank the third prince for giving him the horse!" ”

I really didn't leave myself a way out.

The corners of Fang Linyuan's mouth moved slightly, and the reins were pulled, and his gaze didn't even stay on them.

As soon as he turned his horse, he heard the respectful voice of Yan Ting behind him: "Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

Fang Linyuan turned around and saw Zhao Puzheng coming down. He carried the hem of his skirt and the soft embroidered shoes with beads and stepped straight into the pasture. Women's embroidered shoes have always been low and soft, and just a few steps away, the splendid embroidery on the side of the shoes was stained with dust.

Fang Linyuan hurriedly led the horse forward a few steps and stopped in front of him: "What's wrong?" The yard is dirty, beware of clothes. ”

saw Zhao Pu humming calmly, raised his head and looked at him: "I haven't played ball, why bother to take his stubble?" ”

Fang Linyuan smiled and said indifferently: "Try it." ”

I saw Zhao Pu's eyebrows drooping slightly, and he groaned for a moment, as if a cold undercurrent had flowed through his eyes.

Then, I saw him raise his eyes again, and a pair of deep and quiet eyes were so quiet in the noisy horse farm that it seemed as if the sky and the earth had lost color.

"It's just a joke." I only heard Zhao Pu say this. "Don't worry, he won't be arrogant for a few days."

——

Fang Linyuan didn't understand what Zhao Pu was going to do, but there was a lot of meaning in his words, there were many people here, and he didn't dare to ask more.

At this moment, the waiting gong sounded.

"Let's go back." Fang Linyuan said hello to Zhao Pu, and then rode back to the center of the field.

Polo is simple, but it is just two teams with a club, whoever hits the ball into the opponent's goal first is considered a chip, and the first to get the required number of chips is considered to win the game.

Fang Linyuan has not been interested in this kind of project since he was a child.

He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he is good at equestrianism, and he stands out among the children of that family. But at that time, he was only about ten years old, and he couldn't make a polo team among his peers, so he finally played together, and those children couldn't afford to lose, so they cried and wiped their tears after playing for a while.

Fang Linyuan felt bored.

With one hand, he took the reins and stopped in the middle of the court. Wang Chang opposite him rode a black horse with shiny coat, which was not the same as the one he rode in the last game.

The aristocratic children of bells, drums, jade, and jade halls and golden horses all have to change a horse for a ball game when they come out to play.

Fang Linyuan's gaze fell lightly on Wang Chang's face.

Jiaogui is dead, but his flowing fire can follow him on the grassland day and night for thousands of miles, how can these Jingzhong gentlemen compare.

Wang Chang only thought that his eyes were provocative, and glared back without showing weakness.

At that moment, the gong sounded.

I saw that Wang Chang was attacking fiercely, and immediately raised the pole and rushed to the ball in the middle. He looked like he was going to win quickly, and when he was a few steps away from the ball, the club was raised high.

Fang Linyuan also picked up the club with one hand and headed towards Wang Chang.

He really doesn't know how to play polo, and his direction, accuracy and strength are certainly not as skilled as the disciples of the family who have played ball since childhood.

But he played the best with his guns, and even Naren Timur was afraid of it. Among the ten thousand armies, as long as he can see where the enemy's head is, he will hit it with one shot, and he will never miss it.

At the moment when Wang Chang was about to touch the ball, Fang Linyuan slammed his horse in front of him, and the flowing fire then raised his hooves sideways, blocking the bright sun in front of him in an instant.

Under the shadow of one person and one horse, Wang Chang didn't even see the shadow of Fang Linyuan's cue clearly.

The ball disappeared from his sight.

——

Wang Chang was still looking for the ball, and Fang Linyuan had already followed the direction in which the ball flew away.

He has good eyes, and the eagles hovering in the sky can pierce both eyes with an arrow, and after being shot, not only can they eat meat, but the intact eagle feathers can also be tied together with wooden sticks when the mountains and rivers are exhausted and used as arrows.

The ball flew past his eyes in almost slow motion. It's just that the strength is a little bigger, and the direction is not well grasped, and it flies diagonally in the direction of Wang Chang's goal.

Fang Linyuan hurriedly rode his horse to follow, and just as it was about to fly out of the boundary of the court, he stopped it with a shot.

Before Wang Chang could find the ball, he had already made up another shot accurately before the ball landed.

This time the force was not so great, but the direction was crooked, and it went in the opposite direction.

Fang Linyuan was a little annoyed for a while.

This club is light and fluttery, and it's really not easy to use. If you make a 120-pound club, you won't let his head float back and forth.

He was on top of the ball for a moment, and he rushed forward and swung it in the direction of the goal.

This time it was in the right direction, but the goal was so narrow that it was about to hit the red paint frame.

Fang Linyuan immediately galloped away, saw the direction, and made another shot towards the goal.

The wooden ball flew straight into Wang Chang's goal.

"The ball has gone into the hole, and An Pinghou has won the first prize!"

A gong sounded and almost woke up all the spectators around, including Wang Chang.

——

The powerful princes present, the common people and businessmen of Qujiangchi, and the famous prostitutes and scholars who have always been romantic, no one has ever seen such a polo game.

A ball was hit on a rampage and whirring, like arrows scurrying all over the field.

But the one who played the ball was as strong as an arrow in the wind, chasing the ball rampage, and rushed around the court, not letting his opponent touch the ball.

What kind of competition you come and go, but it is like a one-sided slaughter. Standing in the middle of the field, running two steps to the east and two steps to the west, the prince of Qin Guo looked a little pitiful, just looking at his figure, he could see that he was stunned, like the remnants of the army on the battlefield who survived the catastrophe.

After a moment of silence, there was a burst of amazement and applause around the stadium and the entire Qujiang Pond.

The sound of gongs and drums was almost suppressed, except for Wang Chang, whose face immediately became ugly, the expressions of everyone around him were surprised and excited.

Only Fang Linyuan, who walked back with a club, looked a little annoyed.

This polo is too difficult, and the ball made of wood is slippery and doesn't leave your hands, as if you can't hit it in the right direction.

This time, when he looked at Wang Chang, his expression was a little more different.

Being able to play polo well is barely a skill.

It's just that Wang Chang didn't look at him, but returned to his place with an ugly expression, his brows sinking like a black cloud pressing on the pair of eyes.

The gong sounded again.

This time, Fang Linyuan wanted to see how Wang Chang played.

He was not in such a hurry this time, and after hitting the ball far away at the beginning, he rode his horse to follow Wang Chang and observe his action and direction of hitting the ball.

Wang Chang seemed surprised that he could touch the ball.

The moment the cue touched the ball, his whole body tensed, and he seemed to be more serious than ever. He guarded Fang Linyuan sideways while skillfully dribbling the ball forward.

There are indeed two things.

Fang Linyuan followed and watched, and the movements of the horse showed a little leisure.

Seeing that he was approaching the goal with the ball, Fang Linyuan followed unhurriedly, followed two more steps, and hit the ball away again.

He knew since he was a child that if he wanted to learn to fight, he first had to learn to watch others fight.

I saw Wang Chang chasing the ball again, spinning his horse very skillfully, turning quickly when he stopped the ball, and came towards the goal with the ball.

He was a little more cautious this time.

But this time, just when he was about to score again, Fang Linyuan rode up, swung lightly, and knocked the ball away again.

His strength was not so great, Wang Chang didn't chase far back, so he made a clever stop and hit the ball towards the goal again.

Fang Linyuan also probably learned.

He rode up, swung his club, and followed his moves.

This time, he learned seventy or eighty percent, and his accuracy was much better. The ball came back the way under his control, and it was back under Wang Chang's club.

Wang Chang's eyes widened.

Again and again, this time, even if he was a fool, he saw it, Fang Linyuan was strolling around, obviously insulting him like walking a dog!

Wang Chang glared at Fang Linyuan: "What are you doing!" ”

In front of everyone's eyes, Fang Linyuan also realized that his move was not appropriate.

However, he succeeded in stealing the teacher, and he should pay some tuition. He was very generous, put the club on the horse's back, and said to Wang Chang: "You play, this time I won't move." ”

Who has ever seen such a scene!

Everyone around was stunned, and Wang Chang on the field didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, and after hesitating for a moment, he tentatively swung out his club.

The ball went straight into the goal.

The gongs and drums sounded, and a banner representing Decai was also planted on the high platform on Wang Chang's side.

He looked at Fang Linyuan.

&n

bsp; But when he swung the club, Fang Linyuan was already sideways to the club, turned around on horseback, and walked back slowly towards the center.

He didn't look at Wang Chang's ball at all.

One to one, Wang Chang felt an unprecedented insult in Fang Linyuan's back.

Wang Chang gritted his teeth and squeezed the pole in his hand.

In the third game, Fang Linyuan didn't have to steal the teacher, and he didn't have any plans to let Wang Chang go again.

As soon as the gong sounded, he rode straight away, and with a wave of the club, before Wang Chang could react, the ball had already flown straight towards his goal.

The racecourse is huge, and this shot alone can't hit the goal. Wang Chang clearly still had a chance, and was riding his horse to catch up, but he saw that Fang Linyuan had already flown forward like an arrow from the string, and according to the skills he had just learned, he made up for it again.

This time, he rode into the dust, and before Wang Chang could catch up with him, the wooden ball had already flown straight into the doorway, and when no one reacted, Fang Linyuan won the second prize.

——

Who has ever seen such a genius!

Li Chengan and others cheered in front of the gate of the closing field, and they were the few happy ones among the bettors.

"You are the Marquis of Anping?" Someone next to him asked.

I saw Li Chengan turn around and show off his empty hands and waist: "All in bet." ”

"How can the little boy be so bold!" Someone sighed. "Didn't An Pinghou grow up in the border pass, how can he play polo?"

Lee Seung-an held his head high.

"He is the general of His Majesty's own title, and Timur is so afraid that he wants to salute!" Li Chengan said. "Little pony, what's it to him?"

When everyone around them heard this, they all nodded thoughtfully.

"Yes, it's also ...... me who waits for the eyes of the rats."

Some people also said sourly: "It's not over yet, what's the hurry?" Didn't Wang Shizi also score a goal just now? ”

The sixteen guards on the side laughed when they heard this.

"Which ball? Which ball are you talking about? But was Wang Shizi played three laps like a dog by our general, and rewarded him with the ball? ”

The man's face was ugly, and he muttered in a low voice, "I bet a hundred taels...... It's all in. ”

"There will be a next time, bet on our general, and let you earn it back." Sixteen guards laughed.

At this moment, there was an exclamation from the surroundings: "What is Wang Shizi doing!" ”

Li Chengan and others looked up one after another.

I saw that on the polo field in the distance, after the gong was struck, Fang Linyuan, who was dressed in red, galloped towards the ball again. And Wang Chang didn't know what was wrong, when he came to the ball, he turned the club, obliquely to the ground, wiped the ground all the way, and stopped in front of Fang Linyuan's horse.

The people around him exclaimed: "He is going to trip An Pinghou's horse!" ”

The horse was full of galloping speed, and the horse could not stop immediately when it ran, not to mention that the two of them were walking in the opposite direction, and the collision was only an instant.

The two of them are so close that if they have that club, the opponent's horse will hit his club ten out of ten!

At such a high speed, even if the horse does not trip, the person on the horse will fall because of it. Falling from a horse at such a speed, breaking hands and legs are common, and even your life will not be saved!

"He's crazy!" Lou Shuo next to him exclaimed briefly.

However, before his "ready" words fell, in the eyes of everyone, the fiery red figure lifted the reins with one hand, and the horse's hooves followed.

The next moment, the horse's hoof fell, and a hoof broke the club that was in front of him.

Under the tremendous force, Wang Chang on the horse was immediately dragged off the horse, and he was about to be swept into the chaotic hooves of the two horses.

But seeing Fang Linyuan release the reins with one hand, he lifted the other hand cue as if he was carrying a chicken, and the other hand club waved, a neat arc, as if the wind could be heard from such a distance.

The next moment, amid the exclamations, everyone's eyes reflected such an unprecedented scene.

The red-clothed general carried Wang Chang with one hand, so that he could hang in the air, not caught in the horse's hooves. The well-trained steed only followed the inertia and rushed forward a few steps before coming to a steady stop.

And the moment the horse's hooves stopped, the smooth wooden ball crossed a beautiful arc, crossed half the court, and landed steadily into the red lacquered goal.

Even the brocade waiter who struck the gong on the field forgot to report the number under this scene.

——

Fang Linyuan threw Wang Chang to the ground and shook his wrist that was numb.

"Horses can kill people, you know?" He lowered his eyes to Wang Chang on the ground.

Wang Chang was already frightened stupid, and he fell back to the ground at this moment, and his legs were too weak to stand up, and he fell to the ground suddenly, his eyes trembling slightly.

Naturally, he didn't expect to be dragged off the horse, or even expected to be dragged off the horse.

"If you trip me today, my life will be gone, and your arm will be broken here." Fang Linyuan didn't raise his eyes, as he spoke, he raised his hand and threw the club to the Yan Pavilion not far away, and jumped off the horse.

"I ...... I ......" Wang Chang was already trembling and speechless.

Fang Linyuan held the flowing fire with one hand, and when he passed by him, he leaned down and patted his spine that was shaking like a sieve.

"The bones of your arms are connected here, and if you don't dodge in a hurry, this place will be torn apart by inertia." He said. "There is a complete skin on the outside, but there is no corpse on the inside."

Wang Chang raised his head tremblingly, but still did not speak.

Fang Linyuan didn't bother to talk to him.

"The next time you're on the street, think about the consequences." He straightened up and led the horse away.

“…… Quiet...... Anping Hou got three chips first, win! ”

In the fierce wind, the attendant in the stands came back to his senses and struck the gong in his hand vigorously.

——

Wang Chang was so frightened that he couldn't even come out of the racecourse by himself, so he taught a few attendants to help him down.

The whole horse farm was boiling. The praise, the frightened, and the envious admiration almost submerged the entire Qujiang Pond.

The queen on the high platform showed a happy look on her face, and in addition to the colorful head, she also rewarded Fang Linyuan with a number of pearls and jade treasures. Many powerful officials took advantage of Fang Linyuan's seat to take advantage of Fang Linyuan's seat and stepped forward to celebrate with their wine glasses, but a few adult princes and princesses did not look good on their faces.

This is Zhao Pu's husband, and his glory is also Zhao Pu's glory.

Li Zhe's gaze drifted towards Fang Linyuan, and before he could stay, he felt the sharp gaze coming from his side.

He froze and looked sideways.

I saw Zhao Pei sitting there beside him, smiling gently and gently, and asked softly and peacefully, "Does the husband also want to toast?" ”

Li Zhe paused slightly, and the hand caged in his sleeve squeezed slightly.

"It's just that General Fang Cai relieved the siege for me, so I guess I need to say thank you." Li Zhe said softly.

Zhao Pei laughed lightly.

"The Fifth Emperor Sister has always disliked excitement, so don't go to the icing on the cake." She said softly, raising her hand to clamp a chopsticks and fish belly on Li Zhe's plate.

Under the cover of the position of the two, she was still smiling, but the tone that fell on Li Zhe's ear became cold.

"Husband has this leisure, it is better to go back and practice equestrian diligently." She smiled softly on her face, and her gaze fell on the side of Li Zhe's face, but it was cold and disgusted.

"Don't be regarded as a waste by others and lose the face of your concubine."

——

Fang Linyuan sat down at Zhao Pu's table, and his dishes, chopsticks, and cups had already been arranged. He was a little thirsty, and now he felt tired, and reached out and picked up the wine on the table.

was held down by Zhao Pu's wrist.

Fang Linyuan turned his head for some reason, and saw Zhao Pu sitting there looking at him, his eyebrows twisted slightly, and the unhappy look was on his face.

"What's wrong?" Fang Linyuan followed his gaze and saw that it was the hand on his left.

The snow-white silk yarn in the palm of his hand was slightly soaked with blood, and if Zhao Pu hadn't stared at it, he wouldn't have noticed.

This was the hand that picked up Wang Chang just now, and the force of the rapid fall caused his wound to tear open, but the situation was urgent, and he didn't notice the pain at all.

Fang Linyuan shook his wrist indifferently.

It is a trivial matter for the wound to collapse, but if Wang Chang really lost his life on the court, it would be endless trouble.

But he didn't shake his hand twice, and he was caught by Zhao Pu.

It was like a bird jumping on a branch that suddenly crashed into a net.

Fang Linyuan stopped his movements, seeing that Zhao Pu was pinching his wrist and pulled his hand in front of him.

I saw Zhao Xuan drooping his eyes and not speaking, only quietly moving his hand and reopening his silk yarn.

"Just go back and wrap it up again." Fang Linyuan said. "Just a little blood, it's out of the way."

Zhao Pu in front of him didn't speak.

Somehow, Fang Linyuan intuitively felt that the air pressure on Zhao Pu's body was a little low, as if he was not very happy. The silk Su who was accompanying him also put the medicine substitute Zhao Pu he was carrying in his hand silently, and he didn't make a sound.

Fang Linyuan blinked.

He was injured, why was Zhao Pu angry?

He stepped forward to peek at Zhao Pu, but before he could see Zhao Pu's expression, he saw Zhao Pu raise his eyelashes and directly grabbed him.

He only looked at him quietly, and the emotions in his eyes were cold and complicated, startling Fang Linyuan.

This little injury, it's not that serious, is it?

Zhao Pu may have something hidden.

Fang Linyuan blinked, smiled in an active manner, and comforted Zhao Pu: "Little injury, it's okay." And guess what I just saw? ”

Zhao Pu only looked at him and didn't speak.

Fang Linyuan asked and answered himself, and took advantage of the close position of the two of them, lowered his voice and smiled: "Wang Chang fell from his horse just now, he seemed to be so frightened that he lost his soul, and there was a wet piece under his pants, and many people saw it." ”

Speaking of this, Fang Linyuan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Just this little bit of courage, and still show off his might. Do you think he's going to change his pants now? Lose such a big face, and come to the palace banquet in the future, I'm afraid I don't want to pretend to be sick and avoid it, right? ”

Zhao Xuan still only looked at him like this, his eyes were frighteningly cold, but he didn't seem to be aiming at him.

Fang Linyuan laughed a few times, and gradually smiled in Zhao Pu's gaze.

Isn't that funny?

Zhao Pu is really a stone.

Fang Linyuan was silently scolding, but when he saw Zhao Xuan's lips move, his words were even colder than his eyes.

"I should have killed him when he spoke to you in the street." ,
