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

Chapter 421 Beauty Contest
The Yelu people cheered.

There is nothing more satisfying than seeing your opponent make a mistake and helping your side out.

This kind of mistake can easily make the opponent lose confidence in continuing the fight.

But, unexpectedly, the middle-aged man smiled shyly, turned around, and hit the ball again.

This blow was more powerful than the previous one.

Before the goalkeeper of the Yelu team could react, the ball went straight into the hole.

"Xiao Tao, good job!"

Brigadier General Jin shouted with joy and waved his hands as if he was about to dance on horseback.

All the Yelu people were stunned.

Yelu Guzha was the first to react. He shouted out a series of difficult-to-understand words fiercely, which sounded like a curse or a scolding.

Qin Yuan smiled and said, "This move is really amazing. This return shot is so good."

Qin Heng said happily: "If we continue to play like this, there will be no need for an extra game. I am so lucky and happy."

Qin Siyuan was impressed: "It is really a red mane and a golden hair like a wind-blown horse, and a yellow hair like a lightning purple horse. The stars are falling in the flower field, and the new moon is flying over the painted staff. I can imagine how courageous the Marquis was when he was recruiting troops to fight in the northern frontier."

Master Gu Liu said, "My third brother practiced martial arts since he was young, and was determined to defend his country. He could squat before he was even as tall as a table leg, and he went to the northern camp to learn the art of war from my father. When the mansion was about to collapse, my third brother went to the northern camp alone, and swore a solemn oath that he would not return until Yelu was defeated. He did everything he could."

Qin Siyuan said: "No wonder you admire your third brother so much."

“I can’t admire you enough.”

In the stands, the emperor didn't blink, and Princess Fuyun and others all had their eyes fixed on Marquis Gu.

The King of Jin suddenly asked, "Why didn't Lord Gu ride his black horse Kicking Snow today?"

King Qishan said: "If he rides, I wonder how much Yelu Guzha will lose?"

King Qi said: "I guess by the end of this game, Yelu Guzha will lose at least eight points."

The emperor's interest was also piqued, and he stared at the field through a telescope and said, "I guess more than ten chips."

Lao Wang laughed and said, "Yelü Guzha's team is also full of strong men, how could they lose so miserably?"

The prince said quietly, "When I was young, I saw Dingbei Hou lead his team to compete with the palace polo team. He won dozens of times in a row. Not only in Jiju, but also in Cuju, few people can beat him."

After this was said, everyone fell silent again.

The look of disgust and disdain in the King of Qi's eyes grew even stronger.

On the court, Lord Gu, Lieutenant General Jin, and Xiao Tao were all closely watched, fearing that they would steal the ball again. However, there were only so many people, and the firepower was concentrated on these three people, so the others got more opportunities.

In less than an incense stick of time, he made another five gains.

There was constant cheering from the audience.

The Yelu people were like ducks with their mouths tied, sitting quietly in the corner.

The morale of the Yelu team was also low. Even Yelu Guzha had lost his ruthlessness. He was left with only a lot of resentment and was tiredly dealing with the goal after goal from Lord Gu and others.

"Daxing team wins."

"Daxing team, another win."

"Daxing team wins again."

My hands are numb from beating the gong.

For the Yelu team, half an hour seemed extremely long, and they were eager to end this one-sidedly suppressed game as soon as possible.

But for the Daxing team, half an hour was too short.

When the gong sounded, Yelu Guzha breathed a sigh of relief, but Brigadier General Jin sighed, "We haven't had everyone's turn yet." Such a competition would be so prestigious if it were spread out in the future, and if one could hit the ball, one could brag to his children and grandchildren for many years.

Gu Jinghui said: "If we win, everyone wins."

"Right!" Admiral Jin quickly understood and said with a smile, "It's not good to hit them too hard. We won anyway."

Amidst the roaring cheers, the two teams formed two rows each.

Gu Jinghui said to Yelu Guzha, “Thank you for letting me.”

Yelu Guzha forced a smile and said, "Marquis Dingbei is an excellent ball player and has a good command of his subordinates. I am simply not as good as him. I accept the defeat sincerely."

Gu Jinghui dismounted and led everyone to the stands. After bowing to the emperor, he said, “Your Majesty, we are very fortunate to have fulfilled your orders.”

The emperor laughed and said, "Yes, Marquis Dingbei is indeed a loyal minister to me. He played the ball very well. In the future, you must come to the palace more often to play Cuju with me and the crown prince."

Gu Jinghui immediately said, "I obey your command."

The emperor comforted Yelu Guzha with a few more words and did not mention matters such as life and death.

But Yelu Guzha was already worried.

The old king said, "Your Majesty, the robes are ready. Do you want to reward them now?"

The emperor smiled and said, "Of course I will give the reward now. I will personally give the reward to these brave men in the army."

Brigadier General Jin and the others were so excited that their faces flushed and they didn't know how to move their hands and feet.

The emperor walked up to them, ordered Gu Jinghui to stand up, personally spread out the dragon robe and put it on him, and then ordered the eunuch to present the jade belt.

Gu Jinghui knelt down again to express his gratitude.

When Brigadier General Jin and others arrived, the Emperor ordered the Crown Prince to help give them rewards.

The prince looked pale and frail, but he spoke very kindly. When he presented them with the Qilin costumes, he also said a few more words about their excellent ball skills.

Admiral Jin and others felt that it would be better if the prince was not so sick.

After receiving the reward, everyone dressed in brocade clothes, mounted their horses and slowly walked along the edge of the martial arts training ground for the onlookers to watch.

There was a thunderous roar of praise.

The emperor, who was watching from the top, could not help but sigh, "Marquis Dingbei, wearing a dragon robe, is like a pine tree with auspicious auras. He is a handsome man."

The prince said, "I feel that he is still far inferior to my father. When my father was young, he was also a handsome man, with a majestic figure and extraordinary elegance. How could he be as handsome as him?"

The emperor laughed and said, "I am the king, why would I compare my beauty with that of my subjects? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at if you tell others about it?"

Having said that, he seemed very happy.

Everyone said, "Your Highness, what the Crown Prince said is true. The Emperor's heroic demeanor is indeed beyond the reach of Lord Gu."

After Lord Gu and others had walked around the venue.

The Ninth Princess stepped out and said to the Emperor, "Father, I heard that before Lord Gu and his companions competed, the noble ladies also fought hard with the concubines of Yelu the hostage. Why not reward them with some silk and satin to show your great favor?"

The emperor nodded and said, "Very good."

He also asked Lao Wang to lead the women's team to come for an audience.

When Gu Baozhu and others heard the news, they hurriedly rode their horses into the arena in a line. The emperor met them one by one, said some words of praise, and asked the Ninth Princess and Princess Fuyun to give each of them a jade ruyi and a piece of fine silk on his behalf.

The prince said, "As expected, a tiger father will have a dog daughter. The seventh young lady of Dingbei Marquis's mansion is so brave at such a young age."

The emperor nodded.

Prince Jin suddenly said, "I heard that Marquis Dingbei's wife was also present. Why didn't the emperor order Marquis Dingbei to bring his wife to see us? It's said outside that Marquis Dingbei's wife is the daughter of the chief priest, she is kind-hearted, can make perfume, and is very good at managing the household. She is deeply loved and respected by Marquis Dingbei."
