"Zhu Yuancun, you traitor! Get off your horse quickly! Don't mess around!"
Zhu Yuancheng knocked Alekhon to the ground in full view of the crowd, and swaggered to steal his horse. This sudden move happened at lightning speed.
Unexpectedly, the first person to be excited was not the person who was knocked off his horse, but King Yan.
Zhu Sijia also didn't expect that her younger brother was so wild.
You must know that Alekhon is already past his prime, and the people of Northern Liang have much rougher bodies and frames than the people of Qin, not to mention a practitioner like Alekhon who has been fighting on horseback with swords, guns, and horses all year round. No one is a problem.
Where did Zhu Yuancun get so much strength to beat people down directly?
Alehong was slapped in the face by a frail young man in public. He stood up angrily, grabbed his companion's polo pole and prepared to stab Zhu Yuancun, but the other contestants swarmed up and tied his limbs tightly:
"General Alhon! Calm down!"
Zhu Yuancun rode forward on his horse, bypassing numerous obstacles, and scored the first goal using a tactic that caught the opponent off guard. It took only a moment to complete the entire action.
How could he calm down?
The entire field was filled with thunderous cheers from Da Qin people.
Zhu Sijia was worried, and she wanted to stand up and walk to the fence to stop Zhu Yuancun several times, but Yan Xiu stopped her: "Don't get too close."
"Your Majesty, it is my concubine who is incompetent and failed to discipline her younger brother." Zhu Sijia lowered her head and said sincerely, "If Your Majesty wants to punish me, please punish me!"
Yan Xiu smiled without knowing why: "Condemned? I never thought that my brother-in-law would have such magical power and win my heart."
At first, he didn't really trust Zhu Sijia, his younger brother.
But at this moment, Zhu Yuancun's style impressed him.
This is the character and fighting spirit that a man of Da Qin should have.
The focus of the entire event was naturally Zhu Yuancun and Ren Huai, two young men who had not yet reached the championship.
One of the two acts boldly and decisively, has the courage to charge head-on against the enemy, and uses psychological tactics to eliminate crisis after crisis from the enemy in a surprising and winning way; the other has elegant movement and superb skills, and can still survive in the chaos of the enemy being outnumbered. Like a fish in water, he was at ease and scored one goal after another.
The rules of this polo match are different from those in the past. The loser will be eliminated immediately, and the team that scores more goals within the specified time wins.
The hourglass on the table had not yet run out, and only Zhu Yuancun and Ren Huai were left on the field, proudly sitting on the horse with their backs straightened, enjoying the gazes from all directions.
The main players of the hungry Da Qin team had just arrived belatedly. When they rushed to the scene, they were all stunned when they saw this scene.
This polo match was one of the most exciting ever played.
Zhu Sijia herself was confused.
This was completely different from the so-called "narrow victory" in the previous life. Even without Yan Xiu personally taking action, Zhu Yuancun and Ren Huai teamed up to defeat their opponent.
It's nothing short of a miracle.
After Zhu Yuancun jumped off his horse, he immediately ran to the position in front of Zhu Sijia to show off to her. At this moment, Alekhon pulled out the long knife at his waist and walked towards Zhu Yuancun with murderous intent.
"Yuan Cun be careful!"
"I wish you, sir, to watch your back!"
When everyone thought that Alekhon was going to openly stab Zhu Yuancun, he swung the long knife towards his beloved horse, aimed at the neck and chopped off the horse's head in one fell swoop!
A complete incision, the knife is a good knife, and the person who uses the knife is also very skilled in martial arts.
A fine Northern Liang thousand-mile horse died tragically in the hands of its owner. This horrific scene made the noble ladies of the Qin Dynasty, who had lived in luxury and had no knowledge of the world, so frightened that they sobbed softly.
Alehong never showed a trace of pity in his eyes. He glanced at Zhu Yuancun fiercely, turned around and walked back to the Beiliang camp.
Yan Xiu ignored Alhom's farce. He was overjoyed and walked to the fence to award the reward himself:
"I wish the eldest son and the young master Ren have made such great achievements for our great Qin Dynasty, and they deserve to be remembered in history forever. I appoint Ren Huai as the captain of the Yue Cavalry School, and the title of Chiayi Bo, with five hundred households in the city, and a reward of ten thousand taels of gold; I appoint Zhu Yuancun He was appointed as the captain of the Yue Cavalry School and was granted the title of Wuxing Bo. He was given the title of five hundred households in the city and was rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold."
Yueqi Xiaowei was a sixth-grade official and was in charge of the imperial guards in the palace, which meant that Ren and Huai were directly used by Yan Xiu.
Moreover, the position of Yueqi Xiaowei in this dynasty is not a casual official, but an official position with real power. Although the rank is not too high, many people who have served in the military have spent their whole lives struggling to get this position.
This is a great reward for the two teenagers who have not yet reached the age of crown. The official system of Da Qin has strict requirements. Anyone who wants to embark on an official career, no matter what position, must pass the age of crown before taking office. .
But Yan Xiu's unusual letter today was just because the two of them played polo well, and they directly broke the official rules that had been handed down for more than a hundred years.
No one dared to have any opinions on Ren Huai's reward, but Zhu Yuancun was the eldest son of Prince Yan. Although Prince Yan had never asked him to be crowned the crown prince, everyone believed that he was the crown prince.
Now that Yan Xiu has awarded him another title, things may change in Prince Yan's palace.
At the same time as Yan Xiu's decree came down, King Yan knelt on his knees and said, "I'm scared, but I ask Your Majesty to take back my order! The dog is young and it's really not appropriate to entrust him with such a heavy responsibility."
The second person with real power in the field of generals cannot appear in Prince Yan's palace.
There cannot be a person who is contrary to the interests of Prince Yan's palace and the entire family group.
Yan Xiu was in a good mood today and was too lazy to argue with him. He sat down calmly and said quietly: "Father-in-law, do you think my reward is biased? Or do you think I am short-sighted and ignorant of talent?"
King Yan raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his face: "I don't dare... I just promised Quanzi that when he gets the crown, he will ask your majesty to make him the crown prince, but your majesty now makes him uncle. This - —”
Yan Xiu interrupted him: "That is your own family matter in Prince Yan's Mansion and has nothing to do with me."
Empress Dowager Zhang advised Yan Xiu on the side: "Your Majesty must think twice before acting. You should consult with the ministers before issuing an imperial edict. You must not make decisions on your own, lest you chill the hearts of loyal ministers."
"Oh? Really?" Yan Xiu raised his eyebrows and asked loudly, "Dear ladies, do you have any opinions?"
The ministers looked at each other in disbelief, and no one dared to say anything.
On the one hand, he was afraid of offending Prince Yan's palace. On the other hand, if Zhu Yuancun's reward was revoked, it would also implicate Ren Huai and offend the upstart Ren family.
What's more important is that all the officials of the Great Qin Dynasty were almost killed by Yan Xiu. The seventy-year-old veteran tried to persuade Yan Xiu not to go on a Western expedition. Instead, his whole family ended up in exile.
No one dares to offend these three great Buddhas.
Yan Xiu stood up and chuckled at Queen Mother Zhang: "Has the Queen Mother heard everything? I wish you beauty, accompany me back to the camp."
Inside the Beiliang camp.
Alehong grabbed the collar of Prime Minister Zhang and wanted to cut him into pieces: "What's going on? Didn't you say that this polo match can ensure that we are foolproof!"
