Heaven's Martial Fate

Chapter 698 Envy and Jealousy
Time passed slowly like water, and it was another year in a blink of an eye.

The Dagan capital is as prosperous as ever, and it seems to be no different from previous years.

Of course, it's not the same as before.

On the streets, there seemed to be a lot more men dressed up and armed than in previous years.

The cow and horse market in the capital has been particularly lively recently.

The price of a good-looking, tall and strong horse has at least doubled compared to previous years.

Not only that, but there seemed to be a lot more horse farms outside the city than before.

Even if the cold wind is still bitter after the new year, it can't stop the enthusiasm of the young people in the capital to gallop around the racecourse.

Of course, the young men who rode the horses were basically the children of honorable families, or the children of generals in the army, or the children of powerful merchants who wanted to cling to them, and basically no children of scholarly families participated in it.

Twenty miles away from the capital, there is a Dazhuangzi covering an area of ​​more than a thousand mu, which belongs to Ningfu.

In the suburbs of Beijing, there is such a big Zhuangzi, and it is also a good place with a green hill and a small river, which shows how prosperous the Ning Mansion was at the time.

At this time, the grain drying field in the center of Dazhuangzi has become a racetrack.

More than a dozen young men in brocade clothes were galloping on the wide grain drying field, yelling how happy they are.

If you are a polo audience with certain experience and vision, you will definitely be able to vaguely see the young men galloping and galloping. It looks chaotic, but in fact it is quite organized.

If there are full-time polo players here, they will definitely see the clue at a glance: a dozen young men are practicing polo tactics!

It's just a pity that although the young boys are enthusiastic, it can be seen that their riding skills are average, and they don't have a polo cue to practice, so the tactical drills are very rough.

But they never get tired of it, even if their heads are steaming white and their faces are sweating profusely, they can't stop them from venting their exuberant energy.

It wasn't until the steed was tired after sitting down that the handsome young man in the lead yelled out, beckoning his companions to stop and rest for a while.

At this time, the boys who had been waiting anxiously for a long time rushed to the young master immediately, as if there were vicious dogs chasing after them, and handed over warm tea courteously while wiping off their sweat with hot towels.

"Let's go, it's windy outside, let's go inside and talk!"

Jia Qiang is high-spirited, and her stature has grown by at least five centimeters compared to last year, giving people a lean look.

Of course, his appearance is more feminine, but it is more refined now.

That's right, it was Jia Qiang who organized a group of acquainted Xungui's children to go to Dazhuangzi to practice riding and polo tactics.

A group of honorable disciples were not polite, and followed Jia Qiang into the house to rest.

"Come here, read the latest issue of "Polo Review"!"

After the servant girl brought tea and snacks, Jia Qiang, who was sitting in the main seat, yelled loudly: "The voice is so loud that everyone can hear it clearly!"

"Brother Qiang has a heart!"

The Xungui disciples who were present were not polite, and after thanking each other, they each found a chair to sit down and rest.

"On February [-]th, in the second round of the Polo League One, the Ningfu Polo Team defeated the Zhenguo Gongfu Polo Team with a score of ten to three. appropriate……"

"Ma Jia, a well-known polo commentator, said frankly that according to the current record, the Ningfu polo team is likely to defend this year's polo first division champion..."

"The Loyalty Prince's Mansion Polo Team has won three games in a row in the Second Division, and the momentum of their rise is quite rapid. Many well-known commentators believe that they are the favorites of the Second Division this year..."

"..."

A servant from the Ning Mansion was holding the latest issue of "Polo Review" and recited the contents in rhythmic rhythm.

The originally noisy room quickly became quiet with the sound of chanting.

All the young men in brocade clothes and fancy clothes listened with great interest, and the expressions on their faces changed with the content of "Polo Review".

The room remained quiet until the Ning mansion boy finished reading a page, and was immediately stopped to read it later, allowing them to discuss and discuss first.

"Those Wangfu polo teams, it seems that they all have the idea of ​​advancing to the top this year, and each of them has been fierce since the start of the league!"

"That's for sure. Last year, the few of them joined forces and lost their lord. If they don't make up for it in time, they won't agree now!"

"Hehe, I heard that in order to strengthen their strength, they invited the masters of the Dragon Forbidden Captain to participate, what a shame!"

"Why do they have rich resources, as long as they are willing to pay enough, they can always invite strong enough players to join them!"

"Huh, it's a pity that even if their polo teams have strengthened their strength, they will have to go through a year of hard work if they want to enter the First Division. Who knows if there will be any problems in the middle?"

"It's true. Last year, the polo team in Duke Li's mansion was so strong at the beginning that it might even be the champion!"

"As a result, due to injuries and problems with the substitutes, the results in the second half of the schedule plummeted. No one knows until the last moment, which polo team will have the last laugh!"

"Having said that, I'm very optimistic about the Ningfu Polo Team. I think they have a great chance of defending their title because of their new momentum!"

"Brother Qiang, Brother Rong almost became the number one star in the polo league now, don't you have anything to say?"

"That's right, it is estimated that the Ningfu polo team has a good chance of defending the title. You must tell us some ways to strengthen the team!"

"If I can be as beautiful as Brother Rong, if I don't go to brothels and Chu halls in the future, it will be so beautiful!"

"..."

It has to be said that the polo league quickly became popular in the entire capital's Xungui circle with its fierce and exciting competitions.

After all, playing polo suits their identities, and it can also exercise their riding skills and their own military strength. It is definitely one of the best game training methods for the noble children.

Not to mention, there are huge stakes involved in every polo match.

As long as you can participate in the official competition, there will be twelve taels of rewards for participating in the competition alone.

If they performed well and could lead the team to victory, it would be very easy and simple to earn hundreds of taels of silver in a game.

For the honorable young men present, hundreds of taels of silver was no small sum, even if they couldn't get it out for a while.

Because Jia Rong, who is the most popular in the polo league, is very envious of the honorable children who aspire to make a splash or make money through the polo league.

At a young age, he became the patriarch of the Jia family in the capital, and at the same time he was the head of the Ning family, the third-rank general Wei Lie of the imperial court, and at this time the most famous star player in the Polo League One, a proper template for a winner in life ...
