Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 394 Gale
"A woman actually ran to the polo field? Did she come to the wrong place?"

"Isn't this the last practitioner in the first round?"

The teenagers laughed.

Under the scorching summer sun, the teenagers on the largest horse farm in Nanchu had arrogant gazes, sitting on tall horses condescendingly laughing softly at the slender girl standing outside the fence of the horse farm.

Amidst their jeers, two teams just started a battle not far away. The ground trembled and there was a roar, the horseshoes neighed, and the dust was flying on the horse field. The teenagers had to become aggressive.

Horseshoes neighed, flesh and blood collided.

Amidst the sound of broken bones, the faces of some ladies who were sitting on the stands not far away, who wanted to have a glimpse of the demeanor of the young practitioners in this elementary ceremony, suddenly turned pale.

"This……"

"Why is this polo so..."

"This is too barbaric..."

The noble ladies who were watching spoke in astonishment.

Looking at the pale faces of the female relatives in the distance, some thin teenagers showed timidity, but there were also many people whose faces were blood red and excited, watching the dusty horse farm excitedly.

The real polo, or the polo that practitioners participate in, is completely different from the pictures of those gentlemen and ladies riding horses, swinging clubs, playing and laughing leisurely in the imagination of those noble ladies.

Polo is a very intense and dangerous sport.

After all, even if people collide with each other after running at high speed, it will hurt their muscles and bones, let alone a fierce horse whose impact force is many times greater.

Since the birth of polo, many people have been disabled or even killed because of playing polo.

But this intense danger has also brought unprecedented excitement to the polo game.

And this excitement and gore is often too much for ordinary people.

Standing behind Ying Baoyue, it was the first time for Gui Chen to see sixteen horses galloping together at high speed. Looking at the force that would crush him if he couldn't dodge, he couldn't help but want to step back. step.

"Is it exciting?"

At this moment, a sneer suddenly sounded beside Ying Baoyue.

A young man came riding a big black-headed horse, looking at Ying Baoyue and Guichen through the wooden fence with a half-smile.This man had a black cloth belt tied on his arm that represented the former Qin Dynasty. He was Gui Chen's acquaintance, Huo Zhan, the eldest son of the former Qin Huo family.

Gui Chen looked up at Huo Zhan who was riding a horse with a proud expression on his face, and didn't answer his words, but clenched his fists at his side.

However, facing Gui Chen's silence, Huo Zhan didn't care, and smiled contemptuously.

"Polo is the best way to show blood," Huo Zhan glanced over Ying Baoyue's white face, pointedly looked at the screaming female relatives under the arbor not far away, and said with a half-smile, "But this It might be too exciting for the female relatives."

Combined with the way he looks at Ying Baoyue, the meaning of these words is obvious.

The other teenagers who laughed loudly before also gathered together again, looking at Ying Baoyue standing outside the fence, their eyes flashed with guard, and then turned into deeper sarcasm.

Although the Qingshan Racecourse is large, there is only one field that allows sixteen horses to run at the same time, and each country takes turns to use it.Even if it is a racecourse, according to the strength of the team, it is divided into three or six or nine grades.Powerful countries like the Southern Chu and Northern Wei are naturally at the front, while the former Qin is weak, of course it is at the back.

At this time, Southern Chu is being used on the field, and the people from the former Qin Dynasty can only run around the periphery. Most of the people who gathered when they saw Ying Baoyue appeared were from the former Qin Dynasty, and the free practitioners from other countries rode horses on the side. Watch the fun.

"As expected of the former Qin Dynasty who is number one among all the players," practitioners from other countries laughed sarcastically, "Won't even the second round be prepared to let women play?"

"No way? No matter how bad the former Qin Dynasty was, it wouldn't be so miserable, right?"

There was a lot of discussion among the people, and the practitioners of the former Qin Dynasty became more and more annoyed when they were ridiculed collectively.Huo Zhan watched more and more people gathered, and squinted his eyes at Ying Baoyue, "His Royal Highness doesn't look very well."

After speaking, he glanced at the other pale-faced female relatives under the peripheral pergola, for fear that others would not know.

"I am..."

Ying Baoyue looked at the smug expression of the young man on the horse as if he had caught someone else's hand, and wanted to say that her...was actually caused by staying up late.

Rather than being frightened by seeing the fierce collision of polo as Huo Zhan imagined...

"What?" Seeing Ying Baoyue's hesitation to speak, Huo Zhan felt a little uncomfortable in his heart and was about to taunt a few more words, but at this moment, the sound of beating a horse came from not far away, and Ying Baoyue looked up. To Ying Xun who came in a hurry.

"Why are you here?" Ying Xun's horse stopped in front of the wooden fence, looking at the girl in front of him with a complicated expression.

Facing the incomprehensible results of the first round that day, he rushed back to Ye's house impulsively, but no matter how hard he asked, no one answered his question directly, so he had to concentrate on preparing for the second round.

Only this time.

"What are you doing here?" Ying Xun rode on the horse, watching the girl under the horse frowned slightly.

He didn't expect that he would meet her again by the railing of the racecourse so soon, but every yard counts. Although such an accident happened to the woman in the first round, there are rules for the second round.

That doesn't mean he's doing favoritism for her. .

"I'm here..." Ying Baoyue raised her head, she didn't look at the laughing and cursing eyes around her, but just smiled at Ying Xun.

"I'll get the quota for playing tomorrow."

Ying Xun was stunned, and the voices of other practitioners who had been arguing before were also paused for an instant.

"Dian... Mingyue." Ying Xun found that he had never called this woman's name before, but it was weird to call her later name and cousin's title directly. Thinking of the names of people around her before, he simply called her like that.

"I didn't give you a place to play."

He can't give it either.

Ying Xun came to his senses, looked at Ying Baoyue and said, "The quota for playing has already been set, don't..."

"Don't covet things that don't belong to you at all!" Huo Zhan's voice hit his head and face before that. To the big joke.

"Playing? Dian... What does this woman think of a polo game? Poetry or outing?"

"We've practiced, so we just change it?"

"Haven't woken up from the dream? Where did the wind come from?"

The cynicism from former Qin practitioners around was indeed harsh, but Ying Xun was not incomprehensible.

It's just that this woman is too unreasonable.

"Mingyue," Ying Xun was a little worried that this woman would threaten her with merit, so she insisted on joining the polo team.He frowned and looked at Ying Baoyue and said, "The quota for Qianqin to play has been determined a long time ago, and it is the best choice for us to get the highest score for Qianqin."

"No matter what, it's impossible to make a replacement." Ying Xun said.

"No, it's possible." Ying Baoyue looked at him and said quietly.

Ying Xun frowned deeper, and the expressions of the other people around him became more and more strange.

"What did this woman say? Want to take our place? Do you think she can do that with just one word?"

"Is she worthy? She doesn't even look at herself. I've worked so hard to get to this position, but she actually..."

Before the people around completely erupted, Ying Xun looked at Ying Baoyue with a complicated expression and said with a heavier voice.

"Even if you are a princess, you are not qualified to force someone to give way."

"I don't push people." However, Ying Baoyue shook his head, looked around, and said lightly, "It's not to grab someone's seat."

"Cheating ghosts? How could she bully others..."

"What on earth can this man do?"

"By the way, will she know how to ride a horse?"

Can't ride a horse...

However, at this moment, the neighing of horses sounded in everyone's ears.Ying Xun opened his eyes wide, watching Gui Chen handing the stiff rope to the girl beside him.

A violent gust of wind blew up from the racecourse, bringing up large areas of loess.

"The princess can't force people," Ying Baoyue looked at Ying Xun and said, "So I'm not here to snatch, but to snatch."

Ying Xun was taken aback when he heard this.

"There was an unwritten tradition in the former Qin military camp," Ying Baoyue looked into Ying Xun's eyes and said calmly, "Those who are not worthy of virtue can be replaced by challenges."

Ying Xun's pupils shrank. He had indeed heard of this rule.

"Sorry, time is running out, only this method can be used."

At this time, accompanied by the neighing of the horse, the girl got on the horse and drew her sword out of its sheath.

Seeing the tip of her sword pointing faintly here, Huo Zhan was taken aback for a moment, and his back suddenly felt a little chilly.

"People from the former Qin Dynasty! The racecourse is usable!"

The shouts of Nanchu people came from a distance.

"That's just right." Ying Baoyue said with a smile.

"What's good?" Ying Xun's voice was a little dry, and he suddenly felt that this woman was different from that day in Tianmu Mountain.

From the moment I got on the horse, everything seemed to be different.

"As for whether I can be the best choice for the former Qin Dynasty to obtain the highest grades, I would like to bet on the loser." She looked at the nearby practitioners, "I will see the truth soon."

In the strong wind, Ying Baoyue opened her arms, looked at Ying Xun and smiled.

"let's start.
