Du Shiyi is not clairvoyant, of course, he doesn't know that the princes of the Li family are slandering him behind his back, however, when he heard the drum that indicated the opening, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, and he had a toothache for a while.

Fortunately, he didn't play to lose face to know Lu Dao, he has been busy as an official all these years, and he has to do his best because of the many celebrities who come and go, and he has to do his best to practice martial arts because it is related to the problem of longevity and longevity, and he does not dare to be sloppy, but the polo that needs too many people to accompany him really doesn't have so much effort. On the contrary, when Zhang Xing was in Daizhou, he was often invited to the army by Duan Guangzhen, who was good friends with him, and it was often a polo tournament that required dozens of people

Although the struggle on the field was fierce, Du Shiyi watched and realized that under the seemingly hot competition, the Polo Team of the Tubo people did not seem to be doing its best. Especially whenever there is a fierce collision with Li Qia, the king of light, and Li Qing, the king of longevity, they will immediately restrain the horses, obviously, competing with the princes, even if it is a team from a foreign land, it is not without concerns. It must be known that he used to watch several polo matches presided over by Duan Guangzhen in the Daizhou Army, and it was common for a person to turn on his back on his horse, and bleeding and being injured was commonplace. After a game, everyone often hangs the lottery, and no one is spared.

And the pressure on Jiang Du and Dou Yi is much greater, but Cui Jianxuan is the foreign official, and the two of them still have Yu shares in the annual Tang polo tournament now, even if they will not compete with Li Qing for dominance, it is still common for them to come to see if they have nothing to do, so no one in this Tubo team knows them. Between the flying of the bow stick, the two of them quickly lost their faces, but they had long been accustomed to this kind of fight, but they were familiar with it with ease, even if a bow stick was wiped at a distance of not more than an inch from Jiang Du's face, Jiang Du did not change color, and his face became more excited.

As for Zhang Xing, who was originally an unknown person and was received in front of the Son of Heaven, he was naturally the real target of the Tubo people. Rushing with his horse and swinging his staff, he had to watch out for such a sudden attack at all times, and he couldn't fit in for a while, so he was lackluster after the opening. However, he was the one who had really fought in a big battle after all, and he seized the opportunity after a few times. During a scramble, he saw that Li Qia, the king of light, was in a vacancy, and immediately swung out without hesitation, and the Tubo golfer who was one step behind was a millimeter behind, and he missed a thousand miles, and a stick actually hit him directly in front of the door.

Although not many people can see this blow clearly, Li Longji, as a top master who has been undefeated in the polo field for nearly 30 years, and has been paying attention to Zhang Xing's performance, naturally sees it in his eyes. He grabbed the handrail all of a sudden, leaned forward slightly, and his face showed a sense of anger. And Du Shiyi focused most of his energy on Zhang Xing, and couldn't help but gasp for a while, and he didn't exclaim in surprise.

At such a critical juncture, Zhang Xing's years of training in bow and horse martial arts finally showed results. He was originally from leaning down to hit the ball to standing up, but the whole person fell off the horse's back, and then stepped on it, and the whole person moved quickly under the horse's belly, and actually jumped on the horse's back again from the other side. As for the Tibetan golfer who played instead of playing, he did not have any softness, and after sitting firmly, his feet clamped the horse's belly, and he hit it like an arrow off the string.

From the beginning to the present, he has almost been pressed and beaten, and even the best temper has long since worn off. What's more, he has never been a good stubble, seeing that the other party can't avoid it, he actually plans to fight to the death after putting his heart sideways, he smiled, with the reins and legs in his hands, the whole person is almost all lying on horseback, and he is actually a foot away from the side, and he deliberately chose a pair of ring iron leggings He deliberately rubbed his calf against the other party's calf.

"Ahh

This scream was almost at the same time as the moment when Li Qia, the king of light, swung his club and scored. Although many of the princes and kings cheered for Li Qiajin's first place in the audience, the scream obviously attracted more people's attention. Seeing that the people who had just gathered together to grab the ball were scattered, a Tibetan golfer couldn't stabilize his body and fell off the horse, and there was a lot of discussion for a while. However, it was almost common for people to leave the game due to injuries during polo matches, and several Tibetans who were watching the game from the sidelines hurriedly stepped forward to help the injured players up. When someone saw the red blood stain on his calf, they all looked at each other.

That big black man is so cruel, is he really a scholar?

And Concubine Wu Hui saw that the Zhang Xing brought by Du Shiyi today turned out to be the first prize won by Li Qia, the king of the light, and her face couldn't help but change. However, about the first opponent was sent off the field, Zhang Xing then let go of his hand, or assisted, or attracted attention and then passed, and the whole audience saw him galloping, not giving an inch in all kinds of fierce scrambles, and after a while, he was already covered with dust. When he took the lead in winning the fifth prize, he couldn't see any true colors on his clothes and face at all, and there was even a deep abrasion on his eyebrows that showed blood marks.

"These five chips can be won, it is all the work of your hard work" Li Longji was very happy, and after summoning all the people who ended up today, he ordered the palace people to send a glass of wine to each person, and then took one in his hand, with a high-spirited smile on his face, "Wine rewards warriors, and then I have to take a good look at your skills"

Even if it is Jiang Du and Dou Yi, there are two princes present today, and the two of them, who like other signs very much in the past, have all shrunk their heads, and Li Qia and Li Qing are swinging in front of each other, of course, it is also necessary to send a good ball. Of course, that Zhang Xing seems to be very interested in the scramble of the fire, and can often intercept the ball in the fiercest scramble, as for who to pass it to, it all depends on the position. Both of them have also received corresponding passes, but since the two have no intention of fighting, they have passed it to Li Qia and Li Qing brothers. So, at this time, he was reprimanded by Li Longji as if he hated iron and steel.

"There are no kings on the polo field, if you are sure of winning, just go forward and swing the ball, don't play tricks on me"

At this moment, he is not at the court meeting, but he is facing the children of Guijie who are his nephews and nephews, so Li Longji did not keep talking about his identity. After teaching Dou Yi and Jiang Du's grinding workers, he mentioned Li Qia and Li Qing as a passerby. After the four of them were retired, he looked at Zhang Xing and suddenly asked, "Zhang Qing thinks, who will win or lose today?" ”

This question even Concubine Wu Hui looked sideways. Although Zhang Xing was unexpected, after thinking about it carefully, he still shook his head honestly and said: "Before the end, the minister does not dare to talk about victory or defeat lightly." However, these Tibetan handball skills are exquisite, but their equestrian skills are slightly inferior, and it seems that they are probably not riding familiar horses. ”

"Oh, just now when I saw you dodging the cane that struck at the door, you flipped off the horse's back like a juggler, and then up the other, could it be that you are riding on a familiar horse?"

Li Longji asked, and Du Shiyi on the side replied on his behalf: "Your Majesty said this, and the minister answered it on behalf of Qijun. Entering the palace today, the minister brought in two of his own mounts on the grounds that his equestrian skills were not proficient. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was surprised. Some of the stables in the palace are horses, the children of the nobles who come to participate in the polo match, and some are given to bring their mounts back after a game, and few people directly bring their own mounts in. Concubine Wu Hui couldn't help but smile and said, "Du Zhongshu is really ingenious. ”

"No wonder you can do it like an arm." Li Longji suddenly realized, but he was not unhappy about such a small cheating, and at this time, Du Shiyi had to add another sentence.

Therefore, the ride of the Wonder Horse is a mount that he has been familiar with since the beginning of Daizhou. In the past, he was invited by Duan Guangzhen, the envoy of the Daizhou Army, to participate in a polo match with two teams of 100 people, so his chaotic kung fu was first-class. ”

100-person polo match

Li Longji has also heard of this kind of thing. Among the many border armies of the Tang Dynasty, there are often polo matches as a daily training project for cavalry, and some of them even lost their troops because of such polo matches, so they were impeached for the imperial history. Du Shiyi actually approved the implementation of such training by the soldiers and horses he promoted in Daizhou, which shows that he is quite responsible. He hit the handrail at the next moment, and happily ordered: "Since the time and place are on your side, Zhang Qing will let go and fight next, I will wait to see your good results."

Although Du Shiyi had instructed not to say goodbye to Li Qia and Li Qing's brothers, since the Son of Heaven opened his mouth, Zhang Xing did not give the opportunity to others every time. After getting off the field again, he took advantage of the chaotic battle in the first place to send the ball low into the door frame with a pluck, and hit a high throw when he was at the bottom of the game, and there was a thunderous sound around him for a while, and even Li Longji stood up happily.

However, after all, the Tubo people were just the mounts that they were not used to at first, and they were angry, so they didn't care that Li Qia and Li Qing were princes, and gradually caught up with the score. And Li Qing's physical strength is not good after all, and he only has the share of dust in the field after the worst, and even Li Qia finally said that the gong was over the game, and after winning the game with an easy lead, the whole person almost fell on horseback. Although Jiang Du and Dou Yi were tired enough, they still had the strength to fight with each other, and then the two rode to Zhang Xing's side.

"Du Jiu is really too good to say to you, so that the opportunity for the saint to remember a person is just like that." Jiang Du looked at Zhang Xing for a while, and then said with a smile, "However, you are really unstoppable in this forward and backward block, if there is a shortage of people when I play polo next time, you have to come and help me."

"What Jiang Si said is what I want to say." Dou Yi also nodded, and then lowered his voice and said, "However, how did you calculate that you were able to make the King of Light and the King of Shou equal?" ”
