The second half began. When Black Spear came on the stage, it caused a sensation in the audience. He is one of the eight second-level players and has a special appearance. Almost all fans know him. Black Spear came out.

In the first half, many fans were still congratulating themselves on the upset victory of the Hexi Military Team, but as soon as Black Spear came on the stage, they regretted it too late.

The most powerful skill of Black Spear is long-range shooting. The long-range shot from a distance of 150 steps is always on target. Also, because of his size and strength, no one dares to collide with him. Furthermore, Black Spear's detail processing is extremely exquisite. As long as He gets started and basically scores.

But Black Spear also has weaknesses, that is, it is not flexible enough and fast, so someone needs to feed him the ball accurately. This is what Gao Lishi means when he asks Li Ye to focus on threading the needle.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, the Hexi Army Polo Team grabbed the kick-off and passed it far to the shooter Desert. Desert volleyed in the air. The Bucks had quick eyes and quick hands and intercepted the polo halfway. The polo bounced high and was covered by a silver knife. The shot was passed to Li Ye who was one hundred and eighty steps away.

After Li Ye got the ball, he was not in a hurry to pass the ball. Instead, he took the ball and sprinted 150 steps away. A golfer couldn't stop him. If he didn't stop him, Li Ye would definitely be 150 steps away. Shoot, hit every time.

Helpless, the other passer could only rush forward to double-team. Li Ye wanted to turn him over. His horse paused for a moment and passed a long pass from behind the opponent, accurately passing the ball. Black Spear.

Black Spear took his time and made a 150-step long shot. The polo went into the hole and the Tianpeng Polo team opened the scoring in the second half, 8-7.

Immediately afterwards, a direct pass from Hexi Army was intercepted by Yin Dao. Instead of passing the ball, he dribbled the ball forward. The leader of Hexi Army was so anxious that he shouted from the sidelines: "Stop him!"

The passer defending Li Ye had to rush forward to intercept. Silver Blade seized the opportunity and passed an overhead ball, hitting the opponent behind. The polo fell next to Li Ye. Another passer was defending Black Spear. .

The leader of the Hexi Army squatted down with his head in his hands and wailed, "It's over!"

The polo bounced on the ground, and Li Ye rushed over on horseback, volleyed in the air, and hit the hole accurately in one hundred and twenty steps.

It can be said that the appearance of Black Spear completely disrupted the deployment of the Hexi Army. The Tianpeng Polo Team actually had three shooters.

Both members of the Hexi Army Polo Team had a hard time double-teaming Li Ye. At most, they blocked his shooting route, but they couldn't stop his pass like a thread.

Now there is another second-level player who is famous for his long shots, and there is also an iron horse who is very active in the frontcourt. The pressure on the two interceptors Yin Dao and Bucks has been greatly reduced, and they step forward from time to time to assist, leaving the Hexi Army Polo Team with loopholes. There were a lot of attempts, and the position was chaotic. In just one stick of incense, the opponent fired three goals in a row, leading ten to seven.

The Hexi Army polo team was beaten by the opponent and was unable to counterattack. At this time, everyone on the field could see that the Hexi Army's defeat was certain.

Just as the polo match was in full swing, a group of Sogdian merchants came outside the west gate of Chang'an, leading more than a hundred camels loaded with goods.

The caravan slowly walked into Chang'an City. This scene could not be more common in Chang'an. Sogdian merchants and Anxi Hu merchants were active on the Silk Road. Dozens of camel caravans arrived in Chang'an every day.

When this camel caravan entered Chang'an City, no one paid any attention to them.

But there is something special about this camel team, that is, their number is slightly larger. Generally, there are only ten Sogdian merchants at most for a hundred camels, but this camel team has twenty people.

Ten of them were tall and strong, and looked like warriors rather than businessmen.

The leader of this warrior is a young man of about twenty years old. He is tall and has strong eyes. He wears a Sogdian pointed hat and a Persian scimitar at his waist.

"Uncle, we have something to do first. We will come back to the inn to find you!"

The young leader said goodbye to an old Sogdian businessman, waved his hand, and hurried away with nine of his men.

The old Sogdian businessman watched them go away. He was really worried. If the dignified prince brought people to Chang'an secretly, something big would happen. Hey, don't implicate yourself!

The young leader and his men came to Xuandu Temple. After making inquiries, they ran directly to the Sanqing Hall where the temple owner was.

The polo match in the morning was over. The Tianpeng Polo Team played well in the second half and beat the Hexi Army Polo Team 12-7, while the Fan Yangjun Polo Team defeated the Longyou Army 8-6.

Every game in the top five is extremely important. Judging from today's performance, the Longyou Army and the Hexi Army did not perform very well. Especially the main shooter Sirius of the Longyou Army retired this year, making their strength more obvious than last year. reduce.

If nothing else happens, Tianpeng Polo Team and Fan Yangjun Polo Team will still compete for the second qualifying spot this year. Once the two teams tie, then the goal difference will be calculated.

Therefore, after the first game, Tianpeng Polo Team won by five goals, and Fan Yangjun Polo Team only won by two goals, giving Gao Lishi the confidence to reach the final.

In order to boost morale, Gao Lishi specially spent 5,000 crowns and gave heavy rewards to seven players. Li Ye received a reward of 1,500 crowns. Including his appearance fee, after two games, he had already received 6,000 crowns. Income from the ball.

Although Black Spear only played half a game, he still received an income of one thousand guan.

Although Gao Lishi spends tens of thousands of dollars on the polo team every year, which is unimaginable for ordinary people, this amount of money is nothing compared to his income. His annual income from shops and manors reaches tens of thousands. As much as ten thousand yuan, in addition to the emperor's reward and the filial piety of officials from various places, the annual income is no less than one million yuan.

Gao Lishi was in high spirits today. Hearing that Li Ye wanted to change his weapon, he immediately agreed and asked Feng Quanong to take Li Ye to his collection building to choose one.

Feng Qunong opened the door and smiled: "I guessed last year that Mr. Li would come to me to exchange weapons!"

"How could Uncle Feng guess it?" Li Ye asked with a smile.

"Last year, the young master chose Dao Shan. Dao Shan is also called Xiaomo Dao. It is very easy to chop melons and vegetables. However, it is obviously very heavy, but it cannot take advantage of its weight. It is not as good as a three-pointed two-edged knife that weighs 20 to 30 kilograms. What's the difference? This is its biggest shortcoming. It's neither better nor worse, so among the weapons, it ranks the lowest. It can only be considered an entry-level weapon and is relatively unpopular."

Li Ye nodded and sighed: "Uncle Feng is right. I understand it deeply. I met a fierce general named Xue Lun in Shuofang. He used a mountain cleaver that weighed the same as my sword. I didn't know how to use it." I dare to fight him head-on, not because I don’t have enough strength, but because I am worried that my weapon will not be able to withstand it and will break.”

The two came to the spear weapon rack. Feng Quanong pointed to a row of spears and said, "The most famous of the spear weapons is the armor-piercing spear. It is also a combination of slashing and stabbing, but its broad surface and full weight can be used with hammers." , axes and other heavy weapons to compete.”

Li Ye spotted one of the gilded armor-breaking spears at a glance, which was exactly the same as Li Shimin's armor-piercing spear.

"good eyesight!"

Feng Quanong gave a thumbs up and praised: "This is the cold moon stem of the famous Sui Dynasty general Zhang Xutuo. Later Emperor Taizong gave it to Su Dingfang and renamed it Po Hu stem. This was a birthday gift from your grandfather in the first year of Tianbao. , it seems that it has recognized its owner."

Li Ye was overjoyed. He picked up the armor-breaking spear and tried it. It was one foot and eight inches long and weighed about sixty kilograms. He used just the right technique to make it one piece of fine steel. The spear head in front was shaped like a flame and was as long as one foot. The shakuhachi-cun, the blade and the edge are repeatedly forged using the steel clamping method, making them extremely hard and sharp.

Li Ye immediately liked it so much that he couldn't put it down, "Okay! That's it."

At this moment, a servant came over in a panic and said, "Master Li, Aweng asked you to go to Xuandu Temple as soon as possible. It seems like something big happened there."
