Everyone present was restrained.
Peace has been peaceful for a long time, and people seem to have forgotten that this Nine-Five Lord who rules the world was once a famous archer and cavalry master in the Tang Dynasty when he was young.
During the two palace coups of Tang Long and Xiantian, he personally led his soldiers to fight in battle, and this was how we achieved today's peaceful and prosperous age.
"Sage, the son of a rich man will not sit in the hall."
Without waiting for Gao Lishi to dissuade him, a heavily armored general immediately prostrated himself on the ground, "You Tubo, why don't you ask the saint to take action? I will lead the imperial army to fight."
Juju is a very luxurious sport that only nobles can afford. King Yong and his cavalry are the leaders, but if you really want to talk about it, these people are not the first echelon of the Tang Dynasty.
The Longwu Army only selected the sons of heroes of the Tang and Yuan Dynasties to protect the emperor, and the requirements were extremely strict: they had to try the bow and horse six times, lift the pass five times, and walk thirty steps with six husks of rice on their backs.
Among the regular events they practice is kickball, so they can be regarded as a national team.
While talking, Tubo scored another goal.
At this moment, Yong Wang was complaining in his heart. The Tubo people were stronger than before. The team was fighting left and right, constantly looking for opportunities, but the situation was getting worse and worse.
I have no face to see the elders of Chang'an...
Suddenly, an uproar sounded in the ears of Yong Wang Li Lin. He had no time to react before he felt the world spinning.
It turned out that two Tubo people, one on the left and one on the right, bumped into the royal horse under Yong Wang's seat. With a neigh, the horse fell down, and Yong Wang was thrown out.
Fortunately, the cavalry under his command rushed over immediately and protected him firmly, otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous.
At this moment, Li Lin didn't seem to be in any serious condition, but her face was gloomy, she seemed to be walking with a limp, and her right leg was slightly injured.
"Why is Your Highness so careless? You are distracted at such a moment. If we, the Tibetan warriors, had not reined in their horses in time, there would have been one more ghost in the Lantern Festival."
When the two armies are fighting, the envoy will not be killed.
Coupled with the strong national power of Tubo, the Tang army did not dare to start a war lightly. Therefore, these envoys dared to provoke wantonly.
The most important thing is that if King Yong hadn't been distracted before the battle, the collision might not have been successful.
"Don't try to persuade me anymore, I will go on the field in person and fight for my wife."
Ever since Yang Taizhen entered the palace, the emperor had been addicted to drinking and having fun. Longwuwei General Chen Xuanli didn't say it, but in his heart he regarded him as an old man who was old and frail.
Because of this, he hurriedly knelt down to persuade him and promised in front of the king that he would not hesitate to ask the Tibetan envoys to come and see him.
Unfortunately, the inherent fierceness in Li Longji's bones destined Chen Xuanli's advice not only to be ineffective, but to be counterproductive.
"I am willing to follow Sanlang into battle."
There is no one in the world who knows the emperor better than Gao Lishi. He knows that it is useless to talk more at this moment.
However, the saint who once compared himself to Emperor Taizong and fought for the fate of the Tang Dynasty actually did such ridiculous things just to please a woman.
However, Yang Taizhen was snatched from his son by the emperor, so it is not unusual to do anything for her.
Riding on the red dust concubine smiled, no one knew it was lychee.
At this moment, Lu Li finally knew that what Du Mu said was true. After all, Li Longji could do such a thing now, let alone send a plate of lychees to his beloved concubine using the elite cavalry who conveyed urgent military information?
Subconsciously, he looked at Yang Yuhuan, wanting to see how this "beautiful woman and a troublemaker" would react.
Unfortunately, a word came that disrupted the plan: "Ai Qing, are you willing to die with me?"
When a person loses his former vigor, he becomes sluggish, but the appearance of Yang Yuhuan rekindled Li Longji's fighting spirit, but he didn't use it in the right place.
Lu Li looked away, cupped his hands and said, "I wish to go."
"In that case, Aiqing, please come with me to prepare." Li Longji said with confidence, "Ask King Yong and his cavalry to come down."
Beside him, Taizhen was smiling, as if waiting for her sweetheart to return in triumph.
Qian Rui prided herself on having read countless people, but she was good at dancing, but now she couldn't figure out whether the beautiful Kun Dao in front of her really fell in love with the emperor, who was in his sixties.
"Sanlang." Yang Taizhen called softly.
Li Longji immediately looked back.
Lu Li even had a premonition that the Emperor had actually been waiting for this scene to happen. The choice he made was not only because he could not recognize the reality, but Yingwu Xiaoyong was obsessed with the past and couldn't extricate himself. He also wanted to hear Yang Taizhen call him "Sanlang".
To be disrespectful, Li Longji was similar to the wandering kids Lu Li had met on the street before. They made loud noises and fought with others, hoping to attract attention by showing off their personal strength.
"I am waiting for your triumphant return, and we will go to Qujiang to enjoy the scenery together."
"I will live up to my wife's trust."
After the words fell, the two of them looked at each other with affection.
Lu Li had mixed feelings in his heart. This dog food was so spread... it really made people speechless.
If he had a choice, he would not work hard and let Li Longji recognize the reality.
At this time, Huangfuhong interrupted the Emperor and Yang Taizhen: "Sage, we also want to go up."
What good can a group of young men do?
Chen Xuanli had a headache. Only twelve people could play in this competition. The emperor and Gao Lishi were both old and could not play any role. If he brought a few more teenagers...
Thinking of this, General Long Wuwei couldn't help but shudder.
Fortunately, Li Longji didn't act foolishly at the critical moment. He first praised Huangfuhong and his team for their young talents, and then said that when they grow up, they will open up new territories for themselves.
The implication is that he declined.
Then he stopped talking nonsense and took everyone down below to change clothes and prepare to play.
Black futou, red battle clothes, crescent-shaped staff, and a layer of leopard skin wrapped on top, it looks majestic.
The moment he got on the royal horse, Chen Xuanli became extremely serious. In his opinion, Gao Lishi and the saint together could barely resist one Forbidden Army guard, which was equivalent to one less person on his side before the fight.
As for Lu Li, as a young nobleman, he should be good at equestrian skills.
It can only be said that he has blind eyes and cannot see Taishan.
Although the Tubo people were strong, they had no power to resist Lu Li who was ready to fight.
Lu Li swung the club, tested the weight, and got on the horse led by the servant. He thought to himself: If Li Longji can help him, then he should try his best to hand over the ball. In order to make his beloved concubine happy, Lu Li also It's really not easy.
Inside the venue.
The Tubo envoy became more and more proud: "Your Highness, can you still fight? If you don't surrender, it will be over as soon as possible. We are eager to go to the street to see the flower boats, and take a few more glances at the beautiful scenery of Chang'an before leaving."
King Yong, who suffered a leg injury, looked at him angrily.
However, when he thought that his side had no strength to fight anymore, Li Lin became dejected again.
The same goes for the spectators in the stands.
After all, the soldiers displayed their power on the frontier, but King Yong, who represented the dignity of the royal family, was beaten by a group of Tubo barbarians at his own doorstep, leaving him unable to resist, and his face was really tarnished.
At this time, a cavalry team rushed into the stadium, and its momentum was far superior to that of Yong Wangfu’s team——
Not only are the equipment more gorgeous, but so are the mounts. The horse manes are all braided into a three-flower shape, and the pony tails are tightly braided to avoid entanglement in close collisions.
What is professionalism?
The next moment, people immediately regained their hope and shouted again.
King Yong looked back and saw Li Longji coming on horseback at a glance - his white hair covered with black gauze and his figure was particularly tall and straight.
If it weren't for his biological father, who he knew even when he turned into ashes, Li Lin would even feel that he had seen the wrong person.
In the blink of an eye, the cavalry composed of the Forbidden Army arrived in the center of the field. Li Longji suddenly raised his club and shouted: "I fight for my wife!"
"Wow!"
There was an uproar immediately.
This battle is about the dignity of the country, but this man is talking arrogantly, saying that he will fight for his wife, isn't he afraid of being punished by the government?
Only the distinguished guest sitting on the high platform knew that that person was the emperor of the day.
Out of curiosity, Qian Rui secretly looked at Yang Taizhen, and saw a blush on her face, her head lowered shyly, but everyone could see that this noble concubine who was loved by thousands of people was very happy.
Miss Qian Rui felt envious and sighed secretly: "When can I meet my beloved? I don't ask for this, as long as I have one out of ten."
On the other side, King Yong was about to salute when he was driven away by the saint with a wave of his hand. He was the majestic emperor and was not prepared to reveal his identity until he completely defeated the Tubo people. Everyone called him:
Saburo.
"Who are you?"
Mu Chi was the leader of the Tibetan delegation. He looked at the cavalry that suddenly rushed out and said in a bad tone: "I am competing with the Tang Dynasty on behalf of Chi Dezuzan to compete with the Tang Dynasty. If you interrupt suddenly, aren't you afraid that Tian Khan will blame me?"
Since Taizong Li Shimin, the emperors of the Li and Tang dynasties have been called Tian Khan by foreigners.
Khan refers to the rulers of all ethnic groups in the northwest, and Tian Khan means the ruler common to all people in the world.
This is a recognition of the strength of the Tang Dynasty. Even though Mu Chi came from Tubo and the relationship between the two countries was very tense, when talking about Li Longji in public, he would respectfully call him Tian Khan.
After hearing this, Chen Xuanli replied on his behalf: "We are Longwu Guard officers."
Long Wuwei?
Mu Chi was stunned, his tone softened a lot, and he asked: "Is this the will of the Khan of Heaven?"
"That's right."
"In that case, let's continue."
Mu Chi was helpless. He did not expect that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty would pay attention to a shooting competition during the Shangyuan Festival.
However, the situation is not bad, after all, we have now won four chips and have the advantage.
The sixth tom sounds!
The sound is so exciting that it makes you feel like you are on the battlefield.
Infinite pride surged in Li Longji's heart, and he took the lead and rushed to the opposite side.
Almost at the same time, Gao Lishi and Chen Xuanli followed and protected the emperor.
Frankly speaking, the pressure on the two of them was great. If the saint accidentally bumped into each other, they would be blamed for their death.
Lu Li's task is very easy. To be precise, in his eyes, the task is very easy:
Just lead the other eight Forbidden Guards and pass the solid wooden ball to Li Longji.
Feeding the ball is an art.
Not only must the person receiving the ball score, but we must also give him a sense of accomplishment——
The victory in this battle depends entirely on me.
That is, don’t overwhelm the guest.
As a senior actor, Lu Li said, I am very good at it.
I saw a young Long Wuwei player get the ball, and Lu Li immediately shouted: "Pass!"
The young general hesitated for a moment and chose to trust.
boom!
The force of this stick was very clever, neither heavy nor light, and it landed just in front of Lu Li. It can only be said that it is worthy of being a national team, and there are no white-collar workers who are paid by the court.
Almost at the same time, two Tibetan riders rushed over, forming a double-team on the left and right.
Seeing this, Lu Li immediately raised the ball and volleyed it.
In order to avoid shocking the world, the solid ball only flew forward fifty steps, and landed just under the horse of another Imperial Guard knight.
"Good accuracy."
"Good strength!"
The stands erupted in cheers.
The new team took the initiative to attack as soon as they came on the field, sweeping away the previous decline.
And Miss Qian Rui couldn't help but stand up and cheer for Lu Li who was "fighting" on the field.
"The morale of the Longwu Guards is high. We must find a way to knock down their arrogance." Mu Chi shouted.
Then, he quickly led the two knights to chase the ball.
The course is a full two thousand paces long, and there is a lot of room for maneuver. This results in a small advantage but does not mean victory.
The wooden ball changed hands several times.
The twenty-four cavalry galloped like flying, among which Li Longji and Lu Li were the most eye-catching. The former drove straight in, like an arrow leaving the string, while the latter seemed to be everywhere. As long as the Tang army was at a slight disadvantage, he would appear and snatch away the wooden ball with one shot. .
Gradually, the short gate gets closer and closer.
General Chen Xuanli felt his temples pounding. Long Wuwei's first goal was not easy to miss.
Thinking of this, he kept gesturing to Lu Li with his eyes to pass it over until...
"Lu Qing, give me the ball!"
Li Longji shouted, because this is the moment he has been waiting for, to be the center of attention.
Hearing this, Lu Li withdrew his peripheral vision, and his batting movements were decisive and extremely neat.
Your Majesty, I did my best!
Don't let me down!
There is no mistake in the landing position, only twenty steps away from the short goal of the Tubo side.
The whole world had stopped in Li Longji's eyes. He seemed to have returned to his boyhood, defeating the Tibetan envoys and winning glory for his father and the Tang Dynasty.
In fact, everything around was silent, and everyone was waiting for the final result, including Yang Taizhen.
Snapped!
There was a crisp sound.
The strength of this staff was almost perfect, not to mention the timing, Lu Li grasped it very well.
In this way, the solid wooden ball is thrown in the air in a beautiful arc and hits the ball straight.
Silence fell.
After a while, the whole place was in an uproar.
"The Tang Dynasty is mighty!"
"Congratulations to the Tang Dynasty!"
"color!"
The shouts are endless.
Huangfuhong and other young men jumped with excitement. This was a goal that washed away the shame. It was played by the emperor himself, which was of great significance.
"Sanlang is mighty! His grace is still the same as before!" Gao Lishi rushed over to compliment him.
Unfortunately, the saint just nodded, and then raised his eyes to the high platform. He saw Yang Taizhen wearing Kun Dao robe, and shouted: "Fight for my wife!"
The two were far apart and it was impossible to hear what the other was saying, but Yang Yuhuan understood in his heart and immediately smiled.
Looking back and smiling, the sixth palace has no color.
At this moment, a Longwu Army guard secretly guarding the high platform murmured: "In order to please the imperial concubine, it is worth killing a hundred thousand people in battle..."
Boom! Boom!
At this time, the sound of drums sounded.
At the end of the sixth round, Datang caught up and the two sides took a break and prepared to fight again.
Li Longji first galloped around the stadium, showing off his martial arts, and then came to Lu Li, his face glowing with excitement, and said:
"In this battle, Ai Qing deserves the first victory!"
