Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 402 debut
"Signed box?"

While repeating Ying Baoyue's words, Gui Chen looked around and sighed at the crowds of people around him.

The second round of the primary ceremony crowd battle is the most popular round in the primary ceremony.

Although he had heard about this incident before, when he saw it with his own eyes, Gui Chen was still taken aback by the situation.

Different from the place where everyone trained yesterday, the official second round of the polo match was held at the imperial racecourse of the Nanchu royal family. The biggest difference between this place and the ordinary racecourse is that, apart from the central horse racing field and the vast polo field, the surrounding There are also a large number of stands.

The royal racecourse was originally built for the enjoyment of the royal family and dignitaries, and it is a place that attaches great importance to viewing.As the country with the most powerful inland national power, Nanchu has the largest scale of various stands and pergola outside the royal racecourse of Nanchu.

Stands for watching and appreciating are divided into three, six, and nine grades according to height. The lowest grade is the pergola with the widest area but almost no height, and the highest grade is the high platform with a height of more than ten meters.

Following Gui Chen's gaze, Ying Baoyue also looked towards the high platform, where there were many figures she was familiar with.

Sitting on the high platform at this time were the main examiners and examiners of the primary ceremony. Unlike the first round, this time all the examiners headed by Mr. Mengyang were present.What made it even more face-saving was that Jiang Yuanyuan, the Second Highness of Southern Chu, also came.

Generally speaking, only the last round is required for the royal family to attend according to the usual practice, but Jiang Yuanyuan appeared in the second round for an unprecedented time. At this time, Zheng Laoshen occupied Li Mengyang's position as the chief examiner on the ground. .

Mr. Mengyang temporarily added a chair beside him, and next to him sat the boy.

Of course that person is.

Lord Chunhua of Southern Chu, Ji Jiashu.

The stands were crowded with people, every time it was this time, Ying Baoyue would be surprised by Ji Jiashu's popularity.She deeply suspected that many of the crowds under the high stage were not here to see the polo and their competitors, but to see an examiner above.

after all……

"Mr. Chunhua!"

"Master Ji!"

The cheers and screams of the people pierced my ears, and they were very powerful one after another.Most of these cheers and screams came from the densely packed pergola around the racecourse.

That's right, a pergola.

A little below the high platform is the box for the family and the nobles, and under the box, there are countless sheds densely packed around the entire carriage, and the sheds are full of people who came to watch the polo match early this morning.

Not only Gui Chen, but even Ying Baoyue did not expect so many people to watch the polo match.

The screaming and shouting girls and daughters-in-law who waved the ribbons in their hands abruptly made the preliminary ceremony look like the World Cup Olympic Games.

With the arrival of teams from various countries, the people found their screaming targets.

"Master Ye!"

"Sure enough, Mr. Nan Chuye is the team leader!"

"It's from Southern Chu." Gui Chen and Ying Baoyue arrived earlier, and they were nestled in the corner of the racecourse before.At this moment, seeing a group of young princes approaching on horseback, Gui Chen frowned and said, "I didn't expect Ye Siyuan to be quite popular in Southern Chu."

"It's the Ye family after all," Ying Baoyue said.

It's not normal for Ye Siyuan not to get attention here.

She remembers that the Ye family has been very interested in sports that can show people, and polo is one of the best among these sports.

For the Ye family, polo has a special meaning. Ying Baoyue had heard about it when he was young commander. It is said that the earliest fortune of the Ye family ancestors in Danyang was related to the good polo they played in the military camp. .

Although the Ye family is not famous for fighting wars, they are very famous for playing basketball.

Polo, the Ye family can be regarded as a family tradition.

Ye Siyuan came all the way on horseback, and the people of Southern Chu were all joyful, making Chen Zichu, the stepson of Southern Chu beside him, look like a supporting role.

"Ah, it's Young Master Chen," Gui Chen looked towards the Southern Chu team, "Sure enough, Second Young Master Chen is also there, Xu...huh?"

The Southern Chu team came very neatly, eight people passed by, but Guichen opened his eyes wide.

Simply because he didn't see the person he thought would be there.

"Xu... Mingyue, your senior brother..." Gui stunned Chen looked sideways at Ying Baoyue with a complicated expression, "Why is Mr. Xu Yishan not here?"

Ying Baoyue quietly looked at Nanchu's team of eight. Ye Siyuan and Chen Zichu undoubtedly led the way, and it was understandable that Chen Zihan followed closely behind, but after that, there were unfamiliar faces.

All eight people watched it all, except Xu Yishan.

And looking at Gui Chen's stunned gaze beside her, Ying Baoyue knew what she was thinking.

The second round of the crowd battle is not a competition that everyone can participate in. It is common for them not to be selected, but it would be fine if it were normal.

But the problem is... that is Xu Yishan.

That was not just someone caught on the street, but the master of Shuiyuan who had a brilliant personal record at the Jixia Banquet.His level of strength is even higher than that of Ye Siyuan, but such a person was not selected for the Nanchu polo team?

"Is there something wrong?" Gui Chen asked in amazement, but the next moment Ying Baoyue beside him shook his head, "There is nothing wrong."

She had received news before that Xu Yishan was excluded from Nanchu's polo team.

And the reason is simple.

"Ye Siyuan said that if Xu Yishan joined, he would not participate," Ying Baoyue said indifferently, "The Southern Chu Danyang Ye family cannot tolerate untouchables in their polo team."

"Untouchable..." Gui Chen's eyes widened.

At this time, there were also many whispers among the surrounding people.

"By the way, Xu Yishan isn't in there. After all, he's also a sixth-ranker. Isn't it a pity..."

"It's a pity, what kind of polo does the untouchable know, he probably can't even ride a horse?"

Listening to the discussions of the people around her, Ying Baoyue's eyes turned cold.

Polo is different from Cuju. It has been regarded as an "aristocratic sport" by aristocratic families since ancient times.

In the south where horses are precious, because ordinary people can't afford horses at all, the polo threshold has been raised, and only the so-called "upper circle" can enter.

Under such circumstances, Xu Yishan, who was born as a commoner, would not be recognized even if his rank was high enough.

This is Nam Chu's... Polo.

Before she could think about it, other teams also arrived.

"Northern Wei people!"

"Still as majestic as ever..."

"Even this year, the stepson is too thin and looks like a little boy. But I heard that he was originally?"

The Northern Wei Dynasty and Dongwu passed smoothly, and then the team of the former Qin Dynasty also appeared in front of everyone.

"Qianqin is here!"

"Only six people? No way? Is that rumor true?"

"It's our time, let's go," Ying Baoyue looked at Gui Chen beside him, and got on his horse.

"Yeah," Gui Chen nodded.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the two horses galloped forward to Qin's team side by side.

The girl's black hair fluttered under the blowing of the wind, which shocked everyone's eyes.

"A woman...appeared on the polo field?"

"It's really her?!"

"The former princess of Qin..."

"You're here," Ying Xun looked at Ying Baoyue with a complicated expression, and Huo Zhan beside him was expressionless.

Ying Baoyue nodded.

She could hear the exclamations of other people around her.

"The auspicious time has come, step-son draw lots!"

But the next moment, with the examiner's soft shout, the surroundings were suddenly silent.

Ignoring the other stepson, Ying Xun took a deep breath, leaned over and dismounted, and walked towards the huge lottery box with the other stepson.

"Check out!"

With this sound, all the stepsons got the lottery in their hands.

"Eldest son? Which one did we draw?"

Seeing Ying Xun walking back, everyone waited nervously.

Which country will the former Qin fight against first?
"The draw is..."

Ying Xun slowly unfolded the note in his hand, and then his pupils shrank.

"Eldest son?"

What he actually got was...

Ying Xun closed his eyes.

"Nan Chu."
