Chapter 574 The Death of Wang Hao
Polo is undoubtedly the largest collective sport in this era. Its level can even represent the military level of this era to some extent. vital skill.

Therefore, as soon as the polo game, the most popular group sport in today's era, started, it aroused everyone's enthusiasm. Many bosses in Dingxiang who opened betting markets only used an hour after the lottery results came out to sell all The odds for the first game were all set up, and the odds for the first game were only sold for less than half an hour, and they received hundreds of thousands of betting amounts.

Generally speaking, more people who buy the Royal Polo Team win, accounting for [-]%, so the corresponding odds are also lower. However, most people who live in the North, especially the former Turkic people, will bet on the Anbei Army Polo Team In addition to having confidence in their riding skills and ball skills, the odds of up to twice are also the main reason for attracting them to bet.

"Boom, boom, Royals, keep it up, boom, boom, Royals, keep it up..."

"Dong dong dong, Anbei team, give it strength, dong dong dong, Anbei team, give it strength..."

The big drums used for performances on the field were directly controlled by the coaches of the two teams, Dugu Mou and Niu Jinda. Each led a group of subordinates to beat the drums while shouting, and their fans didn't even follow them at all. The citizens of any team shouted excitedly along with the drumbeat. As soon as the game started, the little white ball became everyone's focus, and the intense atmosphere of the game infected everyone.

There are eighteen people in each polo team, but on the playing field, there are only twelve teams for each team, six teams are substitutes, and there is no goalkeeper.

The whole game is divided into two rounds, half an hour each, and the rest time between them is only a quarter of an hour. Therefore, how to use the six substitute players to control the horsepower of the team more reasonably is also an aspect that the coach needs to consider. Running at the fastest speed lasts for about half an hour at most, and the speed will drop. In addition to competing players' ball-handling skills, the polo game is more about horse-handling skills and overall tactics.

Less than 3 minutes into the start of the game, Anbei Army striker Batulu used a direction to intercept the ball under the abdomen, and grabbed the ball from the Royal team center Huang Tao who took the lead in serving. Blocked by the defender, he forced the ball to less than ten meters in front of the goal.

However, when all the members of the Royal Polo Team thought he was about to shoot and surrounded him, he suddenly passed the ball to the pole of Chen Guang, another forward and main attacker of the Anbei Army who was free on the side of the goal. forward.

After Chen Guang received the ball, there was no obstacle in front of him, and he ran all the way to the goal. When the player from the Royal team who blocked Batulu just turned his horse and chased him, it was too late. Chen Guang was in front of the goal. At three meters, he swung the ball and scored his first goal since the start of the game.

"Oh~..."

The cheers were like a tsunami, and they sounded on the field. Just now, Baturu's continuous grabbing and dribbling, ten meters in front of the goal, unexpectedly did not shoot, and chose to pass the ball to his teammates, so that the teammates could more safely guarantee the goal. , It was so exciting and exciting, and made everyone feel a sense of unexpected joy. Soon, Baturu gained a group of fans of his own.

"It was the Anbei team that scored the first goal. Your Majesty, aren't you afraid of losing face?" Heraclius, who was watching the stadium with a telescope, blew the whistle for the goal and the referee asked the players to return to their seats and serve. The translator Chen Jun asked.

"Hehe, on the sports field, it doesn't matter. No matter how much your Majesty wants to save face, he can only tell the players to train and improve their skills off the field. If he loses on the field, all he can do now is grit his teeth."

Following Chen Jun's explanation, Heraclius immediately used binoculars to look towards the edge of the field where Li Shimin was. Sure enough, he saw Li Shimin gnashing his teeth.

However, he was so angry, not because he lost the first goal, but when he was depressed by being robbed of the jackpot, he encountered something that made him even more angry.

"How dare you send people to sneak into the barracks to kill people, do you treat me like nothing?"

Li Shimin's tiger eyes immediately stared in the direction of Sun Xiangfu who was watching the football with his wife and children.

Lieutenant Qianniu continued, "Your Majesty, these people are dead men who have been trained for a long time. When they found that there was no hope of escape, they immediately swung their knives and killed themselves. They were very decisive. I am afraid that they were controlled by some strict organizations. Safety measures must be checked."

Li Shimin nodded sullenly and said, "No matter who is involved, investigate strictly."

"promise."

The captain Qianniuwei, who was wearing blood-stained armor, took the order and stepped back quickly. He also had the identity of a secret guard, and when he exited the arena, he also took a look at Sun Xiangfu's position.

Wang Hao is dead.

Even Sun Xiangfu, the person who wanted him to die the most, was a little surprised. When Wu Yinger came to tell him the news, Sun Xiangfu was still in a daze. The first thing he thought was that Wang Xu had made a move. In this moment when all the eyes are on the sports meeting and the barracks are almost defenseless, it is indeed the best time.

However, Wang Xu's courage was beyond Sun Xiangfu's expectation, and he went directly to the barracks.

"Our people witnessed the whole process?"

"Yes, we have four brothers. We used binoculars to monitor Wang Hao's tent from four angles. We saw with our own eyes more than 80 dead men dressed as delivering fruits and vegetables to the military camp. Before the Qianniuwei brigade came, those people killed all the guards of the two teams of Qianniuwei, and in the process, hacked Wang Hao to death in the tent. Later, they were killed Surrounded by thousands of cattle guards from the brigade, seeing that they could not break out, they all chose to kill themselves with their knives."

Qianniuwei is a team of ten people, and the two teams are twenty people. With their strength and the armored equipment that covers the whole body, it is not easy to kill them quickly. There are more than 80 people, but if it is not for those with super martial arts, it is impossible to do it.

Seeing that there was no hope of escaping, he decisively chose to commit suicide with a knife. This was obviously the style of aristocratic powerful forces training dead soldiers.

After repeatedly confirming that the people in the intelligence team saw Wang Hao being killed with their own eyes, Sun Xiangfu was actually relieved in his heart. Anyway, Wang Hao was already dead, and he had to deal with the consequences of what happened next.

"My lord, the person we are in charge of monitoring has been captured by the secret guards. While they sent their subordinates to inform you of the news, they also sent them a message to you. Your Majesty has a strict order to investigate this case strictly. Please take the initiative to cooperate with the investigation of the secret guards, and report the situation of the organization and personnel of your subordinates like us, after that, the commander of the secret guards will personally go to the other courtyard to interrogate you."

After all, blood was seen in the camp where the emperor stayed, and more than 20 Qianniuwei died. Strictly speaking, this can be regarded as a serious crime of treason. It is unreasonable for Li Shimin not to order a strict investigation.

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu just nodded and said, "I see, you sort out the list of all your subordinates, gather all the people who can gather nearby, and cooperate with the secret guard's investigation. I report."

"promise."

Sun Xiangfu originally wanted Zhang Ke to go to Wang Xu to ask about the specific situation, but found that the secret guards began to disarm them directly on the sports field and controlled them.

"Grandpa, this..."

"They are also ordered to do things, how to cooperate, how to cooperate!"

The people who came to disarm Sun Xiangfu's guards are actually old acquaintances. They once went to Lingnan Xuanjie Captain Liu Shili with Wei Shuxie and Li Gongyan. He has reached the position of guerrilla general, but official position does not mean anything to a person like him.

"I also ask Young Master Sun to go back to the mansion and wait for inquiries after the competition. The officials and others are also ordered to do things."

Liu Shili bowed his hands to Sun Xiangfu.

Sun Xiangfu nodded, and asked again, "General Liu, is it just me who needs to be questioned, or all the courtiers?"

"Uh, this, at present, is that you and the Duke of Dian need to be fully interrogated by secret guards. As for the other ministers, His Majesty has no order."

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu's expression darkened, and Liu Shili didn't dare to say much when he saw this, he gave his subordinates a few words, and then retreated on his own.

"Husband, Your Majesty, does this mean that you don't trust you?" Hongmei asked Sun Xiangfu worriedly, and Chuntao looked at Sun Xiangfu worriedly.

"It's okay, Wang Hao is just a prisoner on death row, His Majesty will not do anything to me for this."

These are two pregnant women. Sun Xiangfu naturally didn't want to make them worry too much. After calming down for a while, he was not in the mood to watch the game anymore. He went back to the house with everyone and watched the so-called commander of secret guards. What exactly did he want to ask himself? .

The situation on Shelong's side was completely different from that on Sun Xiangfu's side. When Liu Shili went to find him, he directly admitted with a laugh that he did it, and he admitted what the emperor wanted to do with it, but called him The secret guard directly gave up his pursuit of him. This is obviously the rhythm of wanting to take the blame for the real murderer. It can be seen how much Shelong hates Wang Hao, but he is definitely not the real murderer. The military camp where the emperor stayed killed more than [-] thousand cattle guards, what kind of consequences would he bear?

After Sun Xiangfu returned to the other courtyard, he stayed in the study and waited for the commander of secret guards to come to the door. However, Qu Tuquan did not wait, but Yu Xiu'er came back first.

Seeing her expression, Sun Xiangfu knew that this test would be difficult. Fortunately, kneeling on the washboard is not a popular item now, otherwise, Sun Xiangfu's knees would probably be broken this time.
