Chapter 120 Friendship First, Competition Second(1/2)

Zhou Ruhai smiled and said, "You are the junior brother of President Li of the Dungeon Academy and the deputy supervisor of the Dungeon Academy. I have too late to curry favor with you, so how dare you threaten you? It's just that you are short of money. I'll give you a suggestion."

Xiao Jinyan laughed, "It's really an eye-opener to see someone so flattering for the first time." He walked to the door, pushed open the door, and said to Zhou Ruhai: "Master Zhou, please go back."

Zhou Ruhai and the others refused him, smiled and shook their heads, walked out the door, and before leaving, he suddenly said: "If President Li is here, he will definitely agree."

Li Qingcheng looked at Zhou Ruhai's far away back and said, "This person is not simple. His martial arts are at the level of a first-class guest in the Li family."

Zhao Langjiang said: "It's really whimsical that people will let the court go from a fourth-rank official to your house to be a slave."

Xiao Jinyan ignored the two of them and thought about Zhou Ruhai's words. What was strange about a piece of jade bi in Chunfeng Yeyu Tower? His intuition told him that things were not simple, but now that Wang Banxian is not there, Jia Fuzi is not there, and he has no one to consult.

In the following days, everyone practiced polo together. After a few days, they became more and more skillful in cooperation, and they could even hit the ball within three to five strokes without falling.

In the blink of an eye, the Little New Year is coming, and the smell of the New Year in Fuling City begins to be full of red lanterns. People who have worked for a year can finally rest, go to temple fairs, buy New Year's goods, and the annual polo competition.

In the Ming Dynasty, polo was a noble sport, and it was difficult for ordinary people to have the opportunity to see polo competitions, but Fuling was different. It held a competition every year, which attracted almost one-third of the people in the city. This was an annual event in Fuling City and one of the good policies for the prefect Zhou people to enjoy with the people.

On the day of the game, Xiao Jinyan and the other two got up very early, met with the Pei brothers and sisters, and went to the polo court west of the city. The audience was already full of spectators, and some even fought to grab seats, making a lot of noise. On the west side, there were a high platform with VIP seats. Most of the sitting areas were local officials, gentry and nobles with meritorious titles. Among them, there were several chieftains wearing familial costumes. Many chieftains around Fuling, the court also set up chieftains for these surrendered tribes, and the imperial court also set up chieftains to use barbarians to control barbarians. These leaders were also invited to watch the football match as guests. As the organizer of this football match, Pei Chunqiu, who was in the Spring Breeze Night Rain Building, naturally sat on the VIP, and was communicating with the chieftain.

On the side of the polo court, the sound of gongs and drums was shocking. The nervous and rapid drum sound was inspiring, which motivated the mood for the upcoming game.

When everyone arrived at the stadium, some people began to equip saddles. The Pei family tied red silk ribbons on the horse's head. The different teams of Xiaobawang Zhou tied blue ribbons. Both sides entered the stadium and became familiar with the stadium.

Zhao Langjiang had a very high horse-control skills. He rode a black BMW on the court, and his speed was getting faster and faster. He lay on the horse's back. When he turned, he almost hit the ground. He shouted, "Come on the ball!"

Upon hearing this, Pei Renfeng swung the polo in his hand and hit the goal. Zhao Langjiang squeezed his legs and swung the horse's belly towards the incoming ball. The ball entered the net.

When everyone on the stage saw this scene, they stood up to cheer.

Li Qingcheng rode a gray horse with a very strong temperament and had not been tamed yet. In the past few days, he has competed with the fierce horses and was almost knocked off the horse several times, but today the dark horse is surprisingly obedient.

Xiao Jinyan felt strange: "In just three days, you will tame this fierce horse, you really have it."

Li Qingcheng said proudly, "This horse is spiritual and can understand human words. I talked with it for a while yesterday, but today it became honest."

"What is so useful to talk about?"

"I told it that if I don't obey, I will lock it in a stable with Mr. Lu tonight."

"But your gray horse is a male?"

"That's why I'm stuck with Mr. Lu."

Xiao Jinyan nodded as if enlightened. Master Lu kicked his hooves with disdain. Xiao Jinyan said to Master Lu, "Perform well in a while, otherwise I will lock you and Xiao Hui together."

When Mr. Lu heard this, he suddenly became extremely well-behaved.

Zhou Datong's Tai Sui team also entered the field to warm up. When they saw Pei Ruyi, they drove over and said with a little provocation, "Miss Pei, are you here to compete for second place?"

Pei Ruyi raised her head, "Don't be too proud too early, I will beat you to cry and call you mother today."

Zhou Datong saw Xiao Jinyan and the other two, sneered and said to Pei Ruyi: "I heard that you have found three helpers this year, and they are these three guys? Haha, you can't even get the club right, and you still want to beat us? Hello, you three, don't cry if you lose later!" After that, he left.

Zhao Langjiang picked up a stone, bounced it out with his index finger, and hit Zhou Datong's horse's butt. The horse hurt and suddenly raised its front hooves. Zhou Datong was raising his hands high to signal the audience, but he was caught off guard and fell off the horse.

Everyone burst into laughter, Zhou Datong's face turned red, and she returned to the team.

It is noon, and the referee will come on the court to announce the rules of the game.

The game is divided into four sections, each section is one stick of incense time. Within the specified time, the side with the most goals will win.

Suddenly, a rapid drumbeat sound came, and a cheer came from the crowd. Under everyone's eyes, the prefect Zhou Ruhai, wearing a blue dress, rode a horse to the venue.

In the VIP seat, everyone was also talking about it. A county magistrate said: "In the past, the prefect was just a kickoff guest, but this year he actually played in person. He is really a role model for us to have fun with the people."

Another person said: "I have heard that Lord Zhou is a master of polo. Mr. Pei, I'm afraid you may lose again this year."

Pei Chunqiu, who is over 50 years old, smiled slightly, "It's important to participate, as long as it's big."

People have fun, but it doesn’t matter if we win or lose in Yeyu Tower.”

"I'm afraid that Qianjin doesn't think so."

"It's just a child's family spirit. As long as the prefect has fun and the Pei family will pay some money, it will be harmless."

Having said that, Pei Chunqiu felt quite bitter. Over the past few years, the prefect has taken great care of Chunfeng Yeyulou. Not to mention the shameful business underground, even the open business has sent officers and soldiers to patrol every few days, making Yeyulou very passive.

He naturally knew that Zhou Ruhai had a crush on the objects in the Pei Family Ancestral Hall, but this was a treasure passed down from his ancestors. It is said that it was a relic of the immortal family left by Erzhu Tongwei, who had become an immortal in the White Crane Liang. How could it be easily granted to others?

Back then, the ancestors of the Pei family were fishing families in Fuzhou. They made a living by fishing. They saved Erzhu Zhenren in the Yangtze River and later became close friends. After Erzhu Zhenren ascended, they left the jade bi he wore to the Pei family. Three hundred years ago, the jade bi was stolen. Until five years ago, a Taoist who traveled around returned the jade bi to the Pei family and explained the origin of the jade bi. It was the blessing of the treasures of the immortal family that the Spring Breeze Night Rain Tower has been smooth sailing in recent years.

The drum sound suddenly stopped.

Zhou Ruhai stood in the center of the field holding a poke and said nonsense. The general idea is that Fuzhou has good weather this year, with a bumper harvest of food, floods were driven away, public security was good, the sea was peaceful, the rivers were clear, etc. Finally, using this polo game, the city celebrated together, both sides should exert the spirit of competition, show spirit, style, and friendship, and at the same time remind everyone that friendship is the first and the second. Of course, in the end, I can't forget to wish His Majesty the Emperor long live.

Both sides rode their horses to the center of the field and stood there. When everyone saw that there was a donkey in the horse team on Yeyulou, they couldn't help laughing.

Xiao Jinyan didn't care and swung his pole to greet everyone, which attracted a boo.

The players on both sides touched the pokes and greeted each other. When it was Zhao Langjiang and Zhou Datong's turn to touch the pole, a long knife fell on Zhou Datong's body with a click.

"Referee, he has unfinished weapons!"

Zhou Datong disagreed, "As a swordsman who keeps his sword away, it should be normal to carry a knife on his body."

The referee ignored it.

A gong sounded.

Zhou Ruhai kicked off the ball and sent the polo to his son Zhou Datong. Zhou Datong used the ball to grab the ball and ran towards the red goal. Zhao Lanjiang grabbed the horse's belly and crossed a true energy to the dark horse. The dark horse was like a divine help, with its hooves flying. He grabbed Zhou Datong's side and a "harrier turned over" and hit Zhou Datong's club. He followed the trend and hit the polo to Li Qingcheng.

As soon as Li Qingcheng received the ball, Zhou Ruhai had already come to him and hit Huima's butt. Huima was surprised and pulled the back hoof hard. Li Qingcheng was not sure about the strength and the ball was broken.

Xiao Jinyan shouted: "Referee, foul on horseback!"

The referee said: "How is it possible? I didn't see it."

"Why didn't you see such an obvious foul?"

The referee said annoyed, "Are you questioning me? How could Lord Zhou foul? Adults will never foul. The Red Party warned him once and hit the ball quietly!"

Zhou Datong was a little proud, waved the poke stick, hit the ball with a 30-meter-long silence pole, and sent the ball into the entrance.

Dangdangdang!

Three gongs sounded, and the blue side scored one point.

"That's fine?"

Ye Yulou re-activated the ball. Xiao Jinyan said look at me and swung his full force. As a result, he used too much force and passed the ball to the Blue Party. The Blue Party cooperated very well and conducted it in three or two times. Zhou Datong seized the opportunity, got rid of the entanglement of Master Lu, and went straight down the right side. The Blue Party made a long pass and happened to come to Zhou Datong's head. Zhou Datong laughed and raised the club over his head, used a back shot, and hit the polo into the hole.

Everyone cheered.

Pei Ruyi complained, "If you ask you to ride a horse, you have to ride a donkey. This stupid donkey is too slow!"

The two sides were back and forth, and the ball rights were constantly exchanged. However, the Blues had been working together for a long time and always had the advantage. After one stick of incense, the small points led by five to zero.

After the break during the holidays, Pei Ruyi said, "It's not that I don't let Xiao Jinyan play, but his skills are too clumsy. Zhou Datong passed by him as if he was crossing the road in the early morning. Li Shun, you can replace him in the next quarter."

As the captain and commander, Zhao Langjiang did not object. Lord Zhou played one quarter, scored a goal, and no longer played. He returned to the VIP seat to watch the game.

Everyone stood up one after another and said, "Da Zhou is very skilled in the football field, and his sword is not as old as Zidane on the polo field."

Another squid with a big belly said, "What's the big one? Qi Er? Can you compare with Lord Zhou? The butter stick of Lord Zhou scored is simply shocking. Even if Gao Qiu reborn, he would not be able to play such a magical trick!"

At the beginning of the second quarter, Li Shun of Yeyulou replaced Xiao Jinyan and stared at Zhou Datong. He thought that the one-sided game had changed in this quarter. Zhao Langjiang activated the equestrian, cooperated with Li Qingcheng in a small way, and played the Tai Sui team in a row, chasing three goals in succession. Pei Ruyi and Pei Renfeng gradually found the feeling and scored one goal each. Zhou Datong was so angry that he cursed, and both sides ended the second quarter with a 9-7.

During the halftime break, Zhou Datong gathered everyone together, arranged tactics, and signaled the two players to double-team Zhao Langjiang.

The two sides changed sides and fought again. In the third quarter, the situation suddenly changed. The Tai Sui team doubled Zhao Lianjiang. Zhao Lianjiang could not receive the ball. The two guards Zhao Lianjiang kept harassing him and squirting trash words. While the referee was not paying attention, they poked Zhao Lianjiang's dark horse with a polo. Zhao Lianjiang could not bear the disturbance and dodged repeatedly.

Xiao Jinyan saw it on the sidelines and reminded the referee to make a foul. The referee ignored Xiao Jinyan and instead warned him once.

The two Tai Sui team saw that the plan succeeded, but the referee ignored it and became more and more aggressive.

When Zhao Langjiang got rid of the two, he rode his horse to run towards the blue goal, he actually took out the tripping rope and waved it to Zhao Langjiang's dark horse.

Zhao Langjiang was running wildly in front of him, almost 1 zhang to receive the ball. Suddenly, he saw a trippy horse soar coming. He was furious and jumped up from the horse's back, swung out with one shot, overturning the two of them to the ground.

The whistle sounded.

Zhao Langjiang made a malicious foul and was sent off the court!

Zhao Langjiang came forward and wanted to argue with the referee. He was stopped by Li Qingcheng and Pei brothers and sisters. Li Qingcheng said, "The remaining half of the sections are all about me."

The game continued, and the entire polo court became Li Qingcheng's stage. He swung the club to hold the polo, sucked the polo with his internal force, rushed forward, and scored three consecutive goals.

Zhou Datong whistled, and the two of them used their same tricks again and wanted to harass Li Qingcheng. Unexpectedly, Li Qingcheng was prepared for it and moved around between the two, but the two were shaken and could not get close to them at all.

Seeing that the score gradually improved, the Tai Sui team was moving more and more. Anyway, the referee didn't care, and it was almost like taking out a knife to fight.

Li Qingcheng rushed forward, and three horses walked side by side from the backcourt and collided towards Li Qingcheng. If they really hit him, even if Li Qingcheng was fine, the horse would be ruined.

Three zhang, two zhang, one zhang.

When he was about to close and hit him, Li Qingcheng pulled his horse's reins and poured his true energy into the front hoof of the gray horse. He saw the man and the horse jumping up in the air and crossing the heads of the three people. Before he landed, Pei Renfeng made a long pass with a blow, "Brother Li received the ball!"

The polo drew a long arc, crossed the heads of everyone, and came to Li Qingcheng. Li Qingcheng stepped on the stirrups, and the man levered the force to jump into the air again, and pulled the pole with a blow.

Swish!

Scoring the goal.

The equestrian and ball skills shown by Li Qingcheng almost exceeded the limits of the human body, and everyone present was stunned.
