Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 403 Desperate
The primary ceremony is countless fights.

There will be a total of three rounds in the second round of the polo match, with the six countries playing against each other until the last one is reached.

At this time, the first round of matching has been completed through the drawing of lots.

Outside the crowd watching by the racecourse, on a locust tree on the hilltop a hundred miles away from the racecourse, there was a pair of eyes quietly watching all this.

Li Ji stood alone on a tree on the top of the mountain, quietly watching the distance.He closed his eyes and looked at the racecourse in the distance which became noisy due to the result of the lottery.

Even if you are lucky, you never stand behind that girl.

After seeing the results of the lottery, only this sentence came to his mind.

In the first-level grand polo match, the results of the first round of draw were Southern Chu vs. Former Qin, Northern Wei vs. Hou Liao, and Soochow vs. Zhongtang.

The result of this lottery is also very spiritual.

Ying Baoyue leaned against the fence, quietly looking around at the other practitioners of the former Qin Dynasty who seemed to have been slapped in the head when they heard the result of the lottery.

Historically, the strongest players in polo are Northern Wei and Hou Liao, followed by Southern Chu.This time, the two powerhouses digested internally in the first round, which is considered a good thing, but among the remaining three countries, being drawn to Nanchu is considered the worst case of lottery.

Although Southern Chu is not a nation on horseback, but the national power and the realm of practitioners are placed there, and the local warriors are high-spirited. When the examiner announced that the former Qin had drawn Zhongnan Chu, there was a deafening mountain shout in the outer shed. The sound of Southern Chu's victory scared the low-level practitioners in the former Qin team.

The comparison has not yet started, and the momentum has already been overwhelmed.

But Ying Baoyue was not worried about this, she was more worried about what Nan Chu would do during the competition.Ying Baoyue looked at Ye Siyuan, who was surrounded by other players in the Nanchu horse team not far away. She had seen a lot of things that shouldn't have happened when she was investigating the information on the practitioners who would participate in the polo match in Nanchu.

And most of those things were related to Ye Siyuan and Nanchu Ye's family.

"Okay, since we want to win, no matter which country we are in, we have to meet." Ying Xun firmly grasped the paper lottery in his palm, glanced at his dignified companions around him, took a deep breath, and said, "Get ready!" Let’s get on the court, everyone just come at the usual practice time.”

"According to the time of practice?" However, at this moment, a practitioner smiled mockingly, and the next moment his cold eyes drifted to Ying Baoyue, "The people I usually practice with are not here, and there are people here who have never practiced at all." people at!"

Everyone knows who this sentence is aimed at.

Ying Xun's eyes froze, but when all the eyes around him looked over, his heart was in a mess and he didn't know what to say.

"Okay, we're about to play, what's the use of saying this?" Ying Xun suppressed the irritability in his heart and said loudly, "Don't say anything, get ready to play!"

"Change horses!"

Accompanied by the sound of chain railings being opened, under the guidance of the examiner, the Imperial Army of Southern Chu pulled out their war horses.In order to avoid the impact of horses on the results, all the horses rode are horses provided by the racecourse.

Amidst the neighing of the horses, everyone put on their horses and galloped towards the field.

Nanchu's imperial racecourse can accommodate three polo matches at the same time. When six teams lined up on the field at the same time, the entire racecourse was completely boiled.

"It's about to start!"

"Ouch, I don't know which side to look at for three games in a row!"

"Of course it's about the Northern Wei Dynasty and Hou Liao! People in the Northern Wei Dynasty don't mention anything else, polo is a must. If you miss this time, you won't be able to watch it!"

"Northern Wei is wonderful, but if Southern Chu doesn't look at you, aren't you from Southern Chu?"

"That's what I said, but it's not that there is no suspense between Nanchu and Qianqin!"

"How could the former Qin win the Southern Chu?"

How did the former Qin win the Southern Chu?
In the arbor, people were jostling and discussing, and amidst these discussions, the bell rang for the official start of the polo match.

"Boom!"

"kick off!"

Accompanied by the examiner's shout, there was the sound of swords being drawn in unison from the racetrack, and in the shadow of the sword, a wooden ball the size of a black melon was thrown into the sky.

And this ball is a polo.

Because the polo game of the elementary ceremony uses a sword instead of a stick, and other weapons are allowed. With the "stick" so lethal, the polo naturally cannot be the common Cuju or ordinary wooden ball.

The polo in the elementary ceremony is made of iron wood, a specialty of Nanchu, which is extremely hard and relatively heavy. To play such a ball requires extremely high skill and strength.

Under the improvement of Emperor Taizu and Da Siming, the rules of the polo game are not much different from modern football. The biggest difference is that the polo field is square.

In this competition, the east and south gates belong to the former Qin Dynasty, and the west and north gates belong to the Southern Chu Dynasty.

There will be a practitioner in front of each gate of the house to stay nearby to guard the goal, and the actual number of people competing for the ball in the center of the court is only six people per team.

For these 12, the initial challenge is to see where they can grab the first ball thrown into the sky.

The party that grabs the ball can start first.

The moment the examiner tossed it up, twelve pairs of eyes were fixed on the black ball. Everyone was on a horse, so they couldn't jump up at this time. The next thing to compare was the courage to charge.

"Bang"!
When the black ball fell, the young men and horses that had been in formation collided into a ball, huge dust rose from the ground, and more than a dozen horses neighed violently!

"here we go!"

"Who got it?!"

"Master Ye?"

In front of the huge dust, the surrounding audience stared wide-eyed and searched desperately.

"Three people fell off the horse!" The senior practitioner who was in charge of observing the movement in the distance reported.

During the collision just now, three people fell from their horses and screamed in that cloud of dust. The next moment a tall practitioner emerged from the dust. People looked expectantly at Ye Siyuan in the crowd, but the next moment they found that Ye Siyuan was holding a long bag in his hand. Jian's eyes were angry and gloomy.

"Stop her!"

Stop who?
Amidst Ye Siyuan's shouts, people suddenly noticed that something was wrong in the dust.

That is, what the examiner reported just now was that three people had fallen off their horses, but now after the dust and mist dissipated, it could be seen that there were four horses with no one on their backs.

What about people?

But at this moment, there seemed to be something shaking on the side of the fourth horse.

"Someone!"

Someone in the crowd screamed, and at this moment, the fourth horse with no one on its back suddenly rushed out of the dust, and not far from the horse's feet, the black wooden ball was rolling.

And a rusty long sword was exposed beside the ball. Against this long sword, people found a slender figure hanging from the side of the horse.

"What? Qianqin snatched it?!

"That woman..."

Looking at the back of the one who was rushing forward, Ji Jiashu in the stands smiled slightly, but the next moment he suddenly shrank his pupils, staring at the field, staring at the person next to the girl.

Just after Ying Baoyue rushed out with the ball, two tall and thick practitioners surrounded her from both sides, and at the moment of the siege, the two big men forced the army horse to bow its head with their swords, and bumped into the girl body.
