Chapter 21
Up ahead, the lieutenant is greeting them as they enter, and Rong Xiangmian doesn’t have time to ask in detail before entering the polo field.
Seeing King Yu and Rong Xiangshi steering their horses side by side to enter, the entire crowd is confused, “Who is actually on a team with whom?”
Then, as they watched King Yu steer his horse to the side of the Third Maiden, and Rong Xiangmi to the side of the Second Highness, they only felt that the relationship was too confusing to rationalize.
“What a great show!” The Empress was on the stage, just marveling at her own masterpiece, when a shout came from below the steps: His Majesty has arrived!
The entire audience immediately knelt down on the ground, holding their breath and gathering their concentration, and Rong Xiang saw them also immediately dismount and salute.
When his majesty was carried up to the moon stage and took his seat, only then did all the people follow the word of mouth, exempting themselves from salute and leveling up.
His Majesty saw Yü Wang in the arena at a glance, and the Empress immediately said, “Yü Wang came down to help the Rong family’s third girl compete for the prize.”
The emperor did not react, only saying, “It’s easy to steal half a day’s leisure, you guys don’t need to be restrained, compare how you should.”
A gong sounded and the competition began.
Zhang Shu took the lead, aiming to win, the crowd because she is the empress’s favorite niece, than the princess is not too much, is a tacit understanding not to fight hard, first let her score a goal.
She immediately sensed that something was wrong and shouted, “What are you doing? The Queen’s reward, dare to be so slack!”
With these words, the crowd was no longer polite.
Thus, Zhang Shu began to feel the reality of the beating.
When she passes the ball to her brother, King Yu leaps from nowhere on his horse, stops not even for a moment, and intercepts her ball in the air, intercepting the ball and bringing it to strike the ball for a goal, the whole thing flows smoothly and wins applause all over the court.
When she ran all the way hard, Rong Xiangmian all the way to follow but not grab the ball, specifically waiting for her to enter the ball, waiting on the side, the ball like will listen to her words, not only did not enter, but also obediently bounced to Rong Xiangmian’s cue below, she gently hit, picked a cheap, Zhang Shu angry a half dead.
During a time when she and her brother were cooperating to protect the ball, Zhang Shu deliberately forced Rong Xiangmian towards the edge of the field so that she had no way to touch the ball at all, who knew that she yo-yoed on the horse and switched the cue stick to her left hand, her body dipped to the left, and struck vigorously, sending the ball to King Qing’s hands, who scored as he wished.
“Ugh, why are you still opening the bow with both hands!” Zhang Shu shouted with a frown.
King Qing laughed, “It’s not like there’s a rule in the Kingdom Dynasty that you can’t play with two hands. Could it be that when you go into battle, you still ask your enemy to only kill with one hand?”
Zhang Shu was unconvinced and continued to scramble desperately, but unfortunately, he never scored another goal after that.
This game was the most intense, among the participants, there were good players in the army, there were regulars in the polo field, there was King Yu, there was Rong Xiangmian, all of them were better than her, moving like the wind like electricity, striking the ball accurately and swiftly, telling her and her brother to confuse their brains in the field, not knowing how to deal with it at all.
What’s worse, Rong Xiangmian and King Qing had played polo together many times before, and their coordination was still very good. Rong Xiangmian can use her left hand, as long as she gets the ball, Qing Wang will be with her left, right, front and back to protect the ball in the center, the back of a pass, the front of the convenience of the receiver, the back of the vertical horse forward, all the way to the goal, the bystanders can not insert into it.
Later still, King Yu came up with a method, and after discussing with Rong Xiangzhi to receive the ball, he hit King Qing’s horse with the back half of his body sideways, which is permitted in the game and will not lead to the suspension of the horse.
That horse was hit and immediately skewed towards Rong Xiangshi’s side, giving up the path of the ball, and King Yu saw the right time to intercept the ball with a long reach, and a strike, far and accurate, sent the ball to Rong Xiangshi’s hand, where she immediately hit it into the net.
The whole stadium screamed. Rong Xiangzhi raises her club upwards by the goal, her face complacent, looking towards Rong Xiangshi, saying: compared to King Yu, your little ball skills are simply not enough to look at.
Unfortunately, Rong Xiangshi didn’t understand her meaning at all, watching the ball go in, without saying a word, he turned around and turned away, conferring with Second Highness, “If this method is cracked by King Yup, other people will follow suit, we have to change the method!”
“Good!”
The more Zhang Shu fought, the more frustrated she became in her heart, knowing that it was difficult for her to beat the experts. She began not to fight for the ball, but to observe the opportunities on the court.
Slowly, she realizes that Rong Xiangzhi is partnering with Yu Wang for the first time, and can’t keep up with Yu Wang’s rhythm, and that with strong opponents on the court, she loses a few balls that were easily passed to her if she didn’t set up a good strategy beforehand, which makes Zhang Shu’s mind a little bit more balanced, and she knows that she and her brother aren’t the only ones who can’t keep up with each other on the court.
After discovering this, Zhang Shu began to specialize in looking for Rong Xiangzhi’s trouble, Rong Xiangzhi a ball, Zhang Shu will go over to scramble, one after another, the two people are anxious.
During one of the fights, the two horses came together and tumbled to the ground with their horses.
Behind them, Rong Xiang Xiang and Yu Wang were too close, and it was too late to stop their horses.
Seeing that the horse’s hooves were about to trample on their favorite child, the Empress and Liu’s voice exclaimed at the same time on the moon stage.
The hearts of the onlookers all forgot to jump, only to see Rong Xiangmian and Yu Wang driving side by side, controlling the horses underneath them to leap up, the steeds primed, both of them narrowly flying across from the fallen horses and people.
Zhang Shu subconsciously clutched her head, turning only to see four hooves and a horse’s belly flying past her face with a gust of wind, and she immediately lay backward on the ground.
With a thud, Zhang Shu came back to her senses and saw several deep hoof prints half a foot in front of her. She stayed for a moment before turning her head to see Rong Xiangzhi’s bloodless face, just as scared out of her mind as she was.
“Good!” This thrilling moment, a shocking reversal, made the whole room boil, the Empress and Liu covered their hearts and returned a life.
Rong Xiangmian is not, as soon as the horse’s hooves hit the ground, she lets the horse slowly stop and turns around to see if she has stepped on anyone. Yuhang is calm, in place, let the horse turn around and run back, first dismounted to check whether the two girls are well.
Rong Xiangzhi subconsciously reaches out to Yü Wang, wanting him to pull her up. Zhou Xian Yang ready to reach out that moment, suddenly remembered the Lantern Festival, Rong Xiang Mi fell in a ditch, refused to let him hold hands, must be a lot of rules in the capital, the public is even more so, rash action on the woman’s reputation is not good, so he said: “Your fourth sister over.”
