The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

Chapter 133
The jade saddle and the golden network pass through the Danchi, and the bones are magnificent and the hair is also strange.

There are so many thousand-mile horses in the world, but Lao Fei Yuyuan has never galloped.

How can we let the salt cart weigh too much? Bole can't bear to see it.

If this horse has a long-distance ambition, it can still reach the end of the world by chasing the wind.

……

Gao Lishi walked up to Li Xuexuan, smiled and said, "Miss Li, come to Chang'an, can you get used to food and accommodation?"

Li Xuexuan smiled and said, "Thank you sir for your concern, everything else is fine, but we Shu people are not happy with spicy food, and we don't enjoy eating enough."

Gao Lishi laughed loudly when he heard the words, and said: "The same is true for the imperial concubine, she will always be accompanied by chili peppers." Turning his head to the eunuch, he said: "Go back and tell the imperial dining room, let them send some Sichuan cuisine chefs to the west Inner Garden is in charge."

The attendant eunuch hurriedly agreed.

Gao Lishi looked kindly, and said, "Miss Li, you are this year's No. [-] champion in martial arts, and everyone is looking at you. The Holy Majesty also pays special attention to you. If you need anything, just tell me." After finishing speaking, he laughed and reprimanded Captain Huben Ji Guangchen: "General Ji, Zhuangyuanlang, you have to take care of me. If something goes wrong, the miscellaneous family will not spare you!"

Captain Huben Ji Guangchen smiled and said: "My lord, if you say this, you will have the courage to ignore it! Besides, this girl Li is very skilled in martial arts, she is young, and her future is limitless. If she is not sure, it will be me Lao Ji's immediate boss, I have to confess her now!"

This Huben Captain Ji Guangchen looks rough, but his mind turns extremely fast.Interlude in the sidelines, the words are humorous, making all the female generals tremble.Let the atmosphere in the venue be extraordinarily warm and joyful.

Hearing this, Gao Lishi smiled and glanced at Ji Guangchen with deep meaning.

Yang Yichan watched Gao Lishi favor Li Xuexuan, and felt envious.While envious, Yongwang Li Lin walked up to Yichan, smiled brightly, and asked, "Are you Yang Yichan?"

This question came suddenly, Yang Yichan didn't dare to look directly at King Yong, feeling like a deer bumped her heart.

Yong Wang Li Lin smiled and said: "I heard from the captain of the army that you are very good at polo, do you want to show us your skills today?"

Hearing this, Gao Lishi became interested, walked over from Li Xuexuan, and said with a smile: "Oh, this is great. You are all masters of martial arts. When you play ball, the way you play the ball must be different. Don't worry. It is very stylish! As the saying goes: 'A performer who shoots a bow is better than the skill of using soldiers. The martial arts are preserved, and righteousness cannot be let go'. If the Holy One knows, he will be more pleased."

Yongwang Li Lin smiled and said: "Your old lady thinks highly of them. Although they are very skilled in martial arts, they haven't played polo for a long time after all. How can they fall into your old eyes?"

Gao Lishi waved his hands and said with a smile: "Your Highness, don't be humble. During the days of the martial arts, I accompanied the Holy Master to watch the battle every day. These young men are all possessing unique skills and superb kung fu. As the saying goes, since ancient times, heroes have produced young men. I am optimistic about them!"

Seeing that Gao Lishi was very interested in this topic, Li Lin, the king of Yong, thought about it and said, "Ah Weng, why don't we have a competition today? Let's be on the same team, and they are on the same team?"

Gao Lishi waved his folding fan and praised: "That's a good idea! But, let's not be on the same team, otherwise they won't be able to let go and give up the ball all the time, and we won't be able to enjoy our game!"

Li Chu, the king of Guangping, came forward and said with a smile, "I'm on the same team as Ah Weng. Last time Ah Weng's team played against Fan Yangjun, I put Bao on the side of Anlu Mountain, and I lost a lot in the end. A penny!"

After listening to Gao Lishi, he laughed loudly, patted Li Chu's head and said, "That's because the imperial concubine put money from my private house on my team that day, and he dared not let the empress lose money! Hahaha"

The three chatted happily, and the two sides began to change their outfits and prepare for the competition.

Polo is a compulsory subject for this batch of martial arts, coupled with the integration of riding teaching into competitive games, it quickly became popular among the team.As soon as they heard that there was going to be a competition, the female generals were all gearing up.

Seeing everyone's high spirits, Gao Lishi said with a smile: "Today's game, I will give a lottery. The winning team will be rewarded with 1000 taels of silver. Each rider will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver!"

Everyone in the field heard the words and screamed and cheered!
Gao Lishi was very satisfied, and said to Yong Wang Li Lin: "Your Highness, you should also bleed some blood. If our team loses, we won't return empty-handed! Otherwise, the miscellaneous family will be hated to death by them! Hehe"

Yongwang Li Lin laughed and said: "Ah Weng is a rich man, we can't compare, so let's just have fun. The losing team will be rewarded with 500 taels of silver, and the riders will be rewarded with 50 taels of silver each!"

As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under a great reward.The atmosphere on the court was high, and everyone was eager to try.

……

The players who plan to play first run in and warm up, in groups of four, pass the control frequently, feel the strength of the pass, and get familiar with each other's horse speed.

In the first round, the palace team started with four riders: Gao Lishi, Li Xuexuan, Guangping Wang Li Chu and imperial guard Liu Tingyan.The Huben Army sent Yongwang Li Lin, Yang Yichan, Hu Shan'er, and Zhong Yaya to fight.

With the sound of a drum, the game officially began.

Gao Lishi kicked off the ball in the backcourt and waved to let his teammates press on.Then, with the help of the horse, he swung his right hand, and the red polo drew an arc and flew to the middle circle.After Liu Tingyan scrambled for the ball, he tapped back lightly.Li Xuexuan, who followed, immediately distributed the ball to the front right.

Guangping Wang Li Chu is a well-known fast horse. He poked the ball forward, then relied on the speed of the horse to overtake the defender Zhong Yaya, and then made a quick pass!
The outward-spinning polo slid against the turf and slid in front of the goal. Hu Shaner arched in front of the goal, but failed to grab a point to intercept.Li Xuexuan slammed the horse and rushed to the back, and shot the ball into the net under the exclamation of everyone.

The ball is in!
The palace team took the lead and boosted their morale.

……

The Huben army was not to be outdone, and immediately pulled back:
Hu Shan'er blocked the pass from Guangping Wang Li Chu, and then passed it to Zhong Yaya.Zhong Yaya handed the ball to Yongwang Li Lin, and ran forward by herself.Liu Tingyan was afraid of Zhong Yaya's speed, so he followed.

A gap appears.Yongwang Li Lin has a wide field of vision, exerts strength with his wrist, suddenly swings his staff, and pushes the polo straight ahead!
Just like a Pao Ding, he is as straight as a chopper!
The cooperation between Yang Yichan and Yongwang Li Lin was still a little rusty, and he started chasing the ball after Li Lin passed the ball.Yang Yichan clamped the horse's belly, galloping like lightning, speeding up instantly!The speed was astonishing, and Gao Lishi was thrown away in just two steps.

Li Chu, the king of Guangping, was terrified, and immediately rushed to Yang Yichan to intercept him.

Yang Yichan glanced at Li Chu out of the corner of her eye, and lightly touched the horse's left ear, causing the horse's head to sink to the left in a "gale wind".Guangping Wang Li Chu thought that Yang Yichan was going to break through to the left, so he hurriedly rode his horse across and intercepted it to the left.

False move!

Yang Yichan's movement to the left was just a feint. In fact, when her center of gravity moved to the left, she made a hook with her right hand and lifted the polo to the right.Immediately, stepping on the stirrup with his right foot, "Gaofeng" moved to the right extremely quickly, and Guangping Wang Li Chu flew into the air!

The goal is open!

"Feng" took two big steps, caught up with the ball, and Yang Yichan easily swept the ball into the empty goal!

When the polo hit the net, Yongwang Li Lin rode his horse to the bottom line and celebrated with Yang Yichan!

The score is equalized!

Yang Yichan used the "Yulong Jue" to unite horse and man, and her superb equestrian skills made her stand out on the field. "Guangfeng" is elusive, always one step ahead, appearing in the gap of the opponent's defense, capturing the opportunity to shoot.Yang Yichan's shooting skills are superb, and he is especially accurate within thirty steps. He often staged wonderful scenes of piercing through Yang with a hundred steps and entering a hole with one stick.
