My younger sister insisted on marrying me and made me the Marquis' wife.

Chapter 414: A Step Ahead

Fear and terror were like real substance, weighing heavily on the hearts of the people of Daxing.

Daxing Juju is usually played in a wide, flat grassland or wilderness that can accommodate thousands of people, with walls on three or four sides and stands on high places.

However, the martial arts training ground of the Imperial College was not so large, and the high stands were only open during routine military exercises, so the spectators stood around the martial arts training ground.

If Gu Baozhu could not control her frightened horse and ran into the crowd, the consequences would be disastrous.

At this moment, Gu Baozhu on the field could only hear the neighing of frightened horses, and her eyes were already blurred by a blur of afterimages. She clamped her legs tightly together, her boots stepped on the stirrups, and one hand was still holding the batting stick without letting go.

“…hurry…throw it away…”

There was someone shouting in the stadium, but the shouting seemed to be blown away by the wind and left no shadow in her ears.

But there was only one voice she heard, and it was very clear.

That was the sound of the polo ball breaking through the air.

Several Yelu women not far away were too frightened to come closer, but at this moment, Gu Baozhu loosened the stirrups, then loosened her legs, jumped up, kicked the tip of her boot on the horse's belly on one side, and used the force to jump to the side a few points. The crescent-shaped end of the bat she raised high hit the hollow polo ball.

The polo ball, as big as a small fist, made a clear hitting sound.

The sound of the impact can be heard from far away because of the hollow space in the middle.

Onlookers: "..."

Everyone on the field shouted: "Why are you still paying attention to this at this time?"

Amid the shouts, the brave ball whizzed through the Yelu people's goal.

However, no one had time to applaud.

Few people even paid attention to where the ball went.

Looking at this scene, Qin Yuan’s heart was about to jump out.

now.

She deeply felt the strength deep in the Gu family's character.

That kind of stubbornness that never gives up.

"Orb!"

A relieved smile appeared on Gu Jinghui's face. He stretched out his arms and suddenly jumped off the horse.

At the same time, Gu Baozhu's boot tip once again took advantage of the horse's spine and jumped to the outside, kicking the frightened horse to the other side.

Landing at this time is undoubtedly dangerous, but it is also her best choice.

Gu Baozhu was undoubtedly very lucky.

Before he even landed on the ground, he was caught by Gu Jinghui who had rushed into the arena, and quickly flew several feet away from the frightened horse.

"Third Brother!"

Gu Baozhu's veil had fallen off, and her hair was wet with sweat, sticking to her cheeks.

Only at this moment did she realize her fear, tears burst out without warning, and her voice became hoarse and trembling.

Gu Jinghui had no time to comfort her. He threw his arms violently, and Gu Baozhu flew out of the field like a kite.

And he rose and fell again like a great bird, clamping a tight grip on the frightened horse.

After getting rid of Gu Baozhu, the horse jumped and rolled on the ground like crazy, but because of Gu Jinghui's sudden rein, it lost its strength, but its hooves still kicked stubbornly.

Slowly his pedaling force became weaker and weaker, until he was finally pressed to the ground, his head drooping with foam at the mouth, his nostrils flared as he gasped weakly.

Everything happened at lightning speed.

Everyone held their breath in fear and froze their bodies, as if they had been hit by a acupuncture point, unable to move.

Qin Heng suddenly shouted: "Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law is mighty! Marquis Dingbei is mighty!"

The boy's clear voice broke the momentary silence.

The students woke up as if from a dream and raised their arms and shouted.

"Marquis Dingbei is mighty!"

The guards of the Dingbei Marquis's mansion shouted loudly: "The Dingbei Marquis is mighty!"

Master Gu Liu cried and laughed: "Third brother is mighty! Marquis Dingbei is mighty!" Qin Yuan couldn't help but raise her fist and whispered: "The Marquis is mighty!"

At this moment, her heart and eyes were all on the handsome and agile Lord Gu.

The Yelu clan members were as quiet as chickens.

Gu Jinghui raised his hand to signal, and the sound came from his dantian like a morning bell, low but loud enough for everyone to hear.

"Where's the referee? Daxing has already got the chips."

"Yes, I am very happy."

The young ladies in Daxing cheered and hit the polo sticks against each other, making a "bang bang" sound.

"Where's the referee? Put up the flag quickly." People outside the field also joined in the shouting.

The referee standing on the flagpole seemed to have just remembered and put an embroidered flag on the flagpole on the Daxing side. After ringing the gong three times, he announced: "The home team scored a point."

"Daxing is mighty! We have gained a point."

There was jubilation inside and outside the stadium.

No other ball can make people's hearts race like this.

"Where's the pearl?"

Qin Yuan asked anxiously.

Gu Liuye said, "Don't worry, Third Sister-in-law. There are guards over there too. They should have caught him. Third Brother used his strength skillfully. Baozhu also practices martial arts. She can use the force to stand steadily and won't get hurt."

Qin Yuan was relieved and asked again, "It's getting dark now and we can't even see the ball clearly. Do we still want to compete? If Baozhu doesn't want to compete, we are short of people here."

She didn't support continuing the competition.

The Yelu team is much stronger than the Daxing team in terms of physique. The advantage of the Daxing team lies in the flexibility of their skills. If the Yelu people's malicious encirclement and attack are not restricted, the Daxing team will not only gain no benefits, but may also suffer injuries.

Master Gu Liu said, "I'm afraid we'll have to light the lights and fight at night."

Lord Gu on the field waved his arms and said, "It's getting dark, why not suspend the game."

A male voice with a strong foreign accent outside the field shouted: "Why not light a torch and fight again? Are you women from Daxing scared?"

Lord Gu looked carefully and saw that the other party was looking at him provocatively.

"Yelü Guzha."

Lord Gu couldn't help but feel a little itchy at the root of his right tooth.

He had long wanted to deal with the other party.

I believe the other party also has the same intention.

Yelu Guzha raised his strong arm and waved a piece of paper in his hand.

"It's written in black and white, but it's a life and death agreement. If you don't fight now, you will have to admit that those poems defending the ring are bullshit! They are all sissy moaning without any reason! They are far inferior to the folk songs of our Yelu people."

"Yeah, it's all bullshit. We at Firefly can make better folk songs. They're much better than your sissy ones."

"If you admit defeat, there's no need to fight. Just admit defeat."

The men of the Yelu clan followed suit and started to make a fuss.

Although the students of Daxing were angry, they could do nothing but boo.

Qin Siyuan, who was standing next to Yelu Guzha, looked indignant, but he was not very good at riding a horse, and was even less good at playing polo, so he could only worry.

The Yelu woman on the field whistled and asked mockingly, "Are you still going to fight?"

Their words were very blunt, yet somehow more provocative.

The Daxing team, which had originally intended to withdraw, was aroused to fight again.

"Yes, light the torch and fight again."

“Never give up until you win.”

"We don't believe we can't beat them. If one of us dies, they will have to follow suit."

Gu Baozhu changed her horse and entered the arena, shouting loudly: "Sisters, we will never admit defeat."
