Xiaosheng is not a nerd

Coming to the White Horse Hall, it is a more spacious and magnificent place than the Chang'an Qin Tower.

As soon as he entered the door, eight beautiful maidservants greeted him. Even Xie Fu, who was used to seeing beauties, his eyes lit up. He felt the scenery was pleasing to the eye and his heart jumped. That man doesn't like to see beauties, he is a man, and he is no exception.

But Qin Chucheng didn't even look at him directly, making people suspect that he is an honest gentleman.

Cui Sanfei laughed in a low voice: "Brother, you fell in love so quickly?"

Xie Fu responded with a smile: "There is no beauty in a thousand years, and a beauty is a beauty. How can you not be happy."

This White Horse Clubhouse is really big. It has been walking through the courtyard, but it has not stopped. Passing by some venues, Xie Fu showed curiosity about the layout of the venues, but Cui Sanfei did not introduce them for some reason.

"Sanfei, where is this going?"

"Polo Park."

At this moment, Qin Chucheng turned his head and asked, "Xie Fu, can you play polo?"

"will not."

"This is a relatively popular activity in Chang'an."

"Then I want to see and see."

Not long after, they heard noisy shouts, passed through the round door, and suddenly became enlightened.

It turned out to be a very spacious field. In the middle of the field, there were two teams of red and black. They rode horses and held clubs, and rode their horses to snatch round polo balls on the grass.

Cui Sanfei introduced: "As long as one of the red and black teams hits the polo into the opponent's goal, it will count as a goal. The first goal is the winner, and there will be special rewards."

Xie Fu smiled, thinking that this activity is good. First, it can strengthen the muscles and bones, and second, it can bring out the spirit of martial arts.If there is a war, it is not enough to rely solely on those literary scholars who can recite poems and compose Fu.

Just at this moment, the horse reined in and stopped quickly, and the man on the horse waved the polo on the ground with a stick, and the polo shot into the ball frame with an arrow.

All of a sudden, the applause outside the arena was deafening.

Xie Fu followed the prestige, and then realized that there are buildings outside the court, which enclose the court in a continuous circle. There are two floors. The lower floor is used as various functional rooms. Dozens of pavilions.

There are quite a few people standing on the fence outside the pavilion, admiring the polo match below the stadium. There are men and women, and they can tell from the service that they are either rich or noble.

Xie Fu smiled and said, "I really know how to have fun." Compared with Jiangnan, which only has fun such as reciting poems and prose, drinking and listening to music, the polo match is really eye-catching.

Cui Sanfei couldn't help sneering: "What is this?"

Xie Fu was curious: "Could it be that there are more fun things to do."

"Yes, but you must not be able to see it, big brother."

Xie Fu smiled and said, "I'm not obsessed with the past, it's human nature to seek pleasure."

Cui Sanfei changed the topic: "His Royal Highness is also a polo master, he can hit the ball hundreds of times in a row without stopping."

Xie Fu asked: "I have a doubt, if there are martial arts masters involved, will the polo match still go on?"

Even the best golf skills are vulnerable to martial arts. Martial arts masters can even control the polo out of thin air. How can this polo be played.

Cui Sanfei smiled: "Since it's a competition, there are rules, one of which is that you can't use your true energy. This is a foul."

Xie Fu smiled and said, "That's about the same."

Cui Sanfei said again: "Even if you want to use your true energy, you can't?"

Xie Fu was puzzled: "Why?"

"There are mortal stones under the grass. As long as you step on this field, you will be a mortal. You can only win with horse skills. This is also to prevent people from cheating."

"I see."

Looking at such a spacious venue, Xie Fu couldn't imagine how many mortal stones would be used for such a spacious venue.As far as he knows, the mortal stone is produced in Tianshuidiwan, and it is not a rare thing in Tianshuidiwan, but this thing is extremely heavy, several times heavier than copper. It reaches a thousand kilograms and is extremely difficult to transport.

Moreover, the mortal stone exists in the form of a whole rock boulder in Tianshui Diwan, which is extremely hard and difficult to cut.

So the Mortal Stone has become a rarity in other places.

While talking to Cui Sanfei, he had already gone up to the second floor and sat down in an attic.

The attic is very spacious and well-equipped with everything, there is a book table for writing and ink, there are famous calligraphy and painting inscriptions hanging on the wall for appreciation and comment, and there is a couch for sleeping in spring...

Qin Chuchen bowed beforehand: "Thank you, Master, please."

As the crown prince, Qin Chucheng himself is a courtier in front of him. Xie Fu still understands this etiquette: "Your Highness, please."

Qin Chucheng sat down in front of Fang's long case first. This long case could accommodate nearly ten people sitting around it, so it seemed a bit empty with three people sitting there.

Qin Chucheng glanced at Cui Sanfei, and Cui Sanfei waved his hand.

Qin Chucheng smiled and said, "Those three must be arranged by you."

In front of the long case is a folding door. At this moment, the folding door is fully opened, and the line of sight is open. You can watch the polo match off the field while sitting. It makes people feel very comfortable under the spring breeze.

In the fierce polo match off the field, the neighing of people and horses made people excited.

After a while, wine and meat dishes were served, and the three chatted about polo while eating and drinking.

Cui Sanfei introduced to Xie Fu: "Polo is a very popular activity in Chang'an. Every prince and noble has his own team. The black team is Prince Yan's team, and the red team is Xiao Guogong's team."

This King Yan should be Qin Chucheng's uncle, and generally those who can stay in Chang'an are Xiaoyao Kings who have no real power.

As for this Xiao Guogong, he should be the descendant of the eleven meritorious officials who founded the dynasty back then. Those eleven heroes were either made county kings or dukes. , that is to say, there is a prince and aristocrat on his head, which has been hereditary so far, and has no actual power for a long time.

"These two study polo every day, and their team is considered the top in Chang'an."

While I was talking, I saw two horses colliding with each other on the field. The two horses fell hard on their backs, and the two colliding horses also fell to the ground. Although they had neck protectors, the necks of the two horses were broken by the collision. Neighing and whining, the two who had lost their steeds stood up quickly, and everyone cheered for their teams.

One yelled, "Come on!"

One yelled, "Stop it, get the ball back!"

The game scene is not without intensity.

--oops!

--it is good!

Amidst the sighs and applause, the ball was scored.

"The black team has a two-to-one lead over the red team by one goal."

After scoring a goal, they took a break and dragged the dead and injured horses away from the field. After making some adjustments to the personnel, they entered the field to continue the game.

Cui Sanfei explained the polo rules to Xie Fu: "Whoever scores three goals first is the winner. The black team only needs to score one more goal to win."

Xie Fu said: "It's really fierce. After a polo match, many horses will be killed or injured."

Cui Sanfei said indifferently: "Don't say it's a horse, it's common for people to die for victory."

Xie Fu nodded. Being brave and aggressive was inevitable. He learned from some books that some traditional competitions in the Western Region were even more bloody.

This is also the reason why the Central Plains has not been able to completely conquer these barbarians in the Western Regions despite its rich culture for thousands of years.

Since the Emperor Qin's family worshiped Hu Shangwu, the soldiers of Daguan Kingdom can compete with the barbarians of the Western Regions because of their ruthlessness.
