Chapter 419: Pure Heart

Frightened by Lord Gu's reputation, no one dared to look anymore and just pricked up their ears to listen to the conversation between him and his wife.

Qin Yuan secretly glared at Lord Gu and said, "My husband is wise and brave. He saved my seventh sister, which is amazing. Later, he found the weakness of the Yelu people and changed the rules to be invincible. It's even more amazing. I think he deserves the title of both wise and brave."

If someone else said this, Gu Jinghui would not take it seriously at all, but when these words came out of Qin Yuan's mouth, Lord Gu felt a little flattered.

"Am I so good in your heart?"

"It's not just in my heart. Everyone can see the goodness of my husband. Otherwise, why would so many people cheer for the Marquis?"

Qin Heng couldn't help but shiver.

My sister and brother-in-law gave me goosebumps all over my body.

Mr. Gu Liu lowered his head, held the horse's bridle and said nothing.

Qin Siyuan said, "Lord Gu and Miss Seven are both very brave, skilled and courageous. I really admire them."

"Yes, yes," Qin Heng immediately approached and said, "Brother-in-law, can you teach me martial arts, or horsemanship? The leap you made just now was so beautiful that it is hard to describe in words."

Lord Gu laughed and said, "Learning martial arts is not as easy as you think. It is as hard as studying. If you neglect your studies, your father-in-law will make things difficult for me. I haven't finished reading the book your father-in-law gave me."

Only read a few pages actually.

Lord Gu glanced at Qin Yuan guiltily.

Qin Yuan smiled and lowered her eyes without saying a word.

Lord Gu said happily, "When you have nothing to do, come to the mansion to find me to ride horses. If I'm not here, you can go find Baozhu, Kang Ge'er, or Fu Ge'er."

Qin Heng sighed: "Even if I don't practice martial arts, my studies won't improve."

Lord Gu pretended not to hear and turned to the guards beside him and said, "I will take sixteen people to the field later. If you are good at playing polo, please report your names."

The guards were all eager to try.

During the dispute, Brigadier General Jin came over with a group of men.

"My Lord, General, My Lord, please look at me, Old Jin!"

Lord Gu looked in the direction of the voice and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Admiral Jin said, "The news that the Marquis played ball in the Imperial Academy has already spread. The Marquis doesn't know that there is a business in the capital now, called telling news."

"Many storytellers search for interesting anecdotes to tell people and make a living. They are afraid of missing out on timely information, so they pay some idle beggars to collect information. Therefore, not long after the Marquis came here, we all knew about it."

He patted his chest and continued, "I have changed my clothes and called my brothers to come."

"Yes, brothers are all here. The Marquis is going to play, don't forget us. We usually play polo in the barracks. Are you afraid that you can't beat these defeated generals?"

The soldiers brought by Brigadier General Jin were all excited and asked to fight.

The bloodiness and toughness in them are incomparable to those of the guards in the marquis's mansion.

That was gained through repeated fighting on the battlefield.

Qin Heng stared at it without blinking, not knowing what he was thinking.

Lord Gu said with a smile, "With you here, do I need to go far away? You go first, if you leave halfway and there are not enough people, the guards from the Marquis' Mansion can make up for it."

Lieutenant General Jin glanced at the guards of the Marquis' Mansion with pride and said with a smile, "We will try not to let them go on stage. Haha."

The beard on his face was shaking with laughter.

Everyone laughed along.

On the field.

Three gongs sounded. The women's polo match began.

Everyone looked towards the arena in fear.

Admiral Jin suddenly sighed, "Oh my goodness, this stadium is so small, and the goal is too simple. Will more than 30 people be able to fit on the field later?"

The area they have at the barracks is much larger than this.

The goal is ten feet high and one horse wide.

The goal is ornately designed with intricate lotus carvings.

The venue of the Imperial College's Martial Arts Hall was much smaller, and the goal was also very simple, with no carvings. It only had huabiao-style decorations on both sides, painted with vermilion.

Due to frequent use, a lot of paint has fallen off and it is very mottled.

Mr. Gu Liu wanted to speak, but he didn't interact with these people on a daily basis, so after thinking for a while, he didn't open his mouth.

Qin Heng, however, was young and curious about the soldiers, so he immediately responded, "He can run away. This goal is small and not placed close together."

Before Lieutenant General Jin could say anything, Qin Heng continued, "My brother-in-law said that if we can't decide the winner with the Yelu clan, we'll have an extra game. I think it would be better to have an extra game with three or four teams, so that the venue can be reduced by half."

Admiral Jin thought about it and said, "Okay, I think so."

Qin Heng was very happy to hear this, and he felt that this big, dark and strong man was quite good. He looked a thousand times better than Yelu Guzha, who was also dark and strong.

On the field, the competition between Gu Baozhu and others and the Yelu team was still in a stalemate.

The women of Daxing were weak and their reactions when running and chasing were not as good as those of the Yelu women.

But the new rules restricted the women of the Yelu family.

Neither side scored any more goals until the agreed time ended.

The referee rang the gong, announcing the end of the game, and as of now, Daxing was one point behind.

Gu Baozhu threw the club on the ground in frustration and shouted, "We at Daxing will never lose."

Hong Baojin whistled and shouted, "We, the Yelu clan, will never lose."

The two men glared at each other with hatred, and the horses under their crotches were also breathing hot air, as if they were about to fight.

Master Gu Liu was very angry: "What are you doing, Baozhu? Why don't you get off the field quickly? Do you want the referee to judge you for being impolite?"

Qin Siyuan smiled and said, "Seventh Miss is also innocent, that's why she is like this."

Master Gu Liu said meaningfully, "If she knew you praised her like this, I wonder how happy she would be."

Qin Yuan immediately said, "My Lord, you should quickly count your men and replace Sister Baozhu. If things continue like this, it won't be good."

Master Gu Liu immediately said, "Yes, Third Brother, don't let her make a fuss."

Gu Baozhu hasn't married yet. If her reputation is ruined, she will have to find a husband at home.

Lord Gu glanced at them calmly and shouted to the field, "Ladies on the field, please leave immediately. The next round of competition is about to begin."

Hearing her third brother calling people, Gu Baozhu turned her horse around angrily, leaned over to pick up the golf club, and led the ladies out of the venue to change clothes.

After a while, both teams were ready.

Lord Gu led everyone into the venue, followed by Yelu Guzha and the warriors of his tribe.

The men on both sides were tall and strong. The Yelu clan members were brave and valiant, while the soldiers from Daxing were full of murderous intent.

They just stood there, doing nothing, and it was already so tense that it made people breathless.

Qin Heng couldn't help but whispered: "Brother-in-law, you must let me win. I have bet all my money on the Daxing team."
