Chapter 278: Royal Savory
Chapter 278 Royal Sa Zilu
Less than a quarter of an hour before the game, the stadium with 3,000 people was almost full, which was an unexpected surprise.
The Yuchi brothers took turns to show off their skills, and the field was filled with cheers. The bets of the Yuchi family increased greatly, and their popularity exploded.
Cheng Chumo was not to be outdone, and immediately used his own trump card. He actually brought out a group of charming and enchanting prostitutes to perform dances on the stage. These women were all dressed in cool clothes and good-looking. The audience on the field shouted that they earned it.
Qin Lang didn't expect Lao Cheng to know that the cheerleading team was coming.
Shangguanyi said it was indecent, but in the end he also watched it intently.
Ah Huang, Qin Yong and his group also came. They were sitting in Qin Lang's box. As the management team of the Qin family's polo team, Ah Huang said immediately, "Damn, this trick is powerful. Next time our family plays , but also get a group of women to help out."
As the coach of the Qin family team, Qin Yong, the sledgehammer, was a little disdainful, "Polo is about skill, and our Qin family team is absolutely No. 1 in Chang'an, so we don't need those crooked ways."
And the silver-faced Wei Tuo, the captain of the team, also deeply agrees, "Our Qin team can easily throw them a few blocks away."
As for Qin Lang, the head coach of the Qin family's team, he was quite happy with the confidence of the key members of the team, but he still persuaded them not to underestimate the enemy.
"Today, you all have to carefully observe the tactics of these two teams. As the saying goes, you can win a hundred battles by knowing the enemy."
More and more spectators are entering the arena. Because of the advance publicity, free admission, and free snacks and syrup, people who are free are willing to come and watch the excitement. As a result, before the start of the game, the arena is already full up.
"Quickly stop letting people in, send people to maintain order, and don't cause a stampede. If it is full, don't let it in again."
"But everyone came here to watch the game, so let's just squeeze together."
"Squeeze a fart, how about some good or bad? Send someone at the door to apologize to those who are late, and give them some free snacks and water to calm everyone's emotions."
Amidst bursts of drumming, the two teams played.
All of them are tall and powerful, and the players of the two families are actually the generals of the two families. They are all cavalrymen, and they are naturally good at playing polo. They are good at riding and shooting, and they are also good at playing polo. Quite tough.
Today, the horse spears in their hands were replaced with crescent sticks.
The target of the competition was also replaced by a small polo.
Although it was only a preliminaries, the Yuchi brothers and the Cheng brothers led the team personally, so the morale of both sides was extremely high.
Cheng Chumo's family, from horse racing to jerseys, is all in a uniform fiery red, and everyone has big numbers on the front and back of their jerseys.
Cheng Dalang patted the rattan armor on his chest and shouted at his players, "Fuck them to death, we are the best."
Cheng Erlang immediately awarded a heavy reward.
"Scoring a goal, reward ten puns, pass the ball to match the goal, five puns. If you beat Lao Hei's family, everyone will reward you five guans."
This is the first official match, even if it is the preliminaries, it has to be a good start. The money does not belong to the Cheng brothers, but to them from the old Cheng.
The Yuchi family over there is also mobilizing.
These guys are yelling on the field, but they are full of morale.
In a box on the sidelines, the emperor Li Shimin wore a white robe with a black headband, and sat there very leisurely drinking buttermilk. Beside him were Empress Changsun and Prince Chengqian. In addition, Changsun Wuji and his wife were also sitting in the box with their children. .
"Prime Minister, these young people are very motivated to play polo. It looks a bit like the pre-war mobilization when we were fighting." Li Shimin said with a smile.
"Your Majesty does not know that although the teams of Yuchi's family and Cheng's family are led by the sons of the two families, most of the players are generals from the two families. There will be no less than dozens of battles." Changsun Wuji said.
"Who do you think can win?" the emperor asked again.
"It's hard to say. Both of them are goalkeepers. Judging from their momentum, they are both bound to win. I'm afraid that today's game will be very lively and exciting."
Li Shimin called the **** Wang Lin and asked how he would place the bet.
"I bet ten taels of gold, and I bet on Jingde's family victory."
"Why does Your Majesty think that Yuchi's family can win?"
"Jingde's riding and shooting ability is better than that of Yaojin." Li Shimin gave the reason.
Although both of them were the commanders of his Xuanjiaqi, Li Shimin still prefers Yuchi Jingde.
Empress Changsun asked, "This polo league was created by Saburo, too, and he also started betting and guessing games. I really like to play around."
On the contrary, Li Shimin distinguished for Qin Lang, "It's not nonsense, it's quite lively to have a polo league, and the children of Xunqi's family can use it to strengthen riding and shooting, and the common people can also watch the excitement. As for the guessing and betting, but It's just entertainment."
The eldest grandson smiled, knowing that it must be because the proceeds from the quiz will be taxed to the court, so the emperor will tolerate and support it.
"Where is Brother Sanlang, call him to watch a game."
Li Lizhi immediately shouted that she didn't want to play with her cousin Changsun Chong and the others, thinking they were too naive, and Saburo would be better.
At this time, a bell rang on the field.
Qin Lang appeared on the sidelines of the arena, he waved the red flag, and the match began.
In today's game, Qin Lang personally acted as the chief referee.
Li Shimin's eyes were sharp, and he saw Qin Lang immediately, "This guy actually came here to be an arbitrator."
As soon as the game started, the competition between the two sides was extremely fierce.
Cheng Chumo and his brothers had already formulated a full-attack style of play, but they also played the same way when they met Yuchi's team, so both sides were on the offensive.
Fighting is very fierce.
As soon as the game started, a center forward from the Cheng family was shot off the horse by Yuchi Baoqi.
Qin Lang immediately blew the whistle, and gave Bao Qi a yellow card. That shot was too obvious, so it was not aimed at the ball. The ball was not there, and Bao Qi was still swinging behind. The team is all wearing rattan armor and rattan helmets, which can directly maim people.
Bao Qi was still a little unconvinced, and actually yelled at Qin Lang.
"Warning once, if you do this again, it will be a second yellow card, which will automatically become a red card, and you will stop the game for one game."
Yuchi Baolin came over and slapped his younger brother on the head, "Don't hurry up and apologize to the referee."
Bao Qi was still pouting, "It's not fair."
Cheng Chu laughed loudly, mocking Bao Qi with awkward gestures.
As a result, Qin Lang directly took out another yellow card from his pocket, but this time it was for Cheng Chumo.
"Yellow card warning! Do not make provocative and insulting actions to other players!"
Cheng Chumo was taken aback, and immediately became honest.
The game continues.
This time, there was no obvious beating action.
But the fighting was still very fierce. This time Cheng Chumo directly knocked down a member of Yuchi's family from his horse while scrambling for the ball, bleeding all over his head.
The team member got up and got on the horse again, and the game continued.
Both sides come and go, and the movements are getting bigger and bigger.
Several players were battered and bloody, but they were all very tenacious not to end the game and make substitutions.
Under the full offensive tactic, both sides scored a lot of goals, chasing after each other, the statistics are equal, and it is difficult to separate.
The audience on the field watched mesmerized, this game is too good to watch.
Every time a goal is scored, they cheer loudly.
The gong sounds, and there is a break in the first quarter.
Maikos came on stage, and they performed on donkeys, which was also very interesting.
"Another dime!"
The happy audience on the field had already run out of free snacks and sweet syrup, so the voices asking for wine kept coming and going.
"kebabs, fresh and delicious kebabs!"
"Tea eggs, tea eggs."
"Herbal tea, water wine, buttermilk!"
······
The stadium took the opportunity to send many people carrying baskets of drinks, drinks and snacks to sell on the field.
Enjoyed audiences paid for it one after another. Although the price was more expensive than outside, but at this time, the atmosphere of the scene was particularly stimulating to everyone's senses, and it was much more enjoyable to pay.
Measure a quarter-hour break, then continue.
The game restarted, and the competition became even more intense.
"nice shot!"
Li Shimin, who is good at playing polo, was very excited when he saw it. He stood up and applauded a beautiful interception goal.
the other side.
Cheng Yaojin in the private room specially invited his lover Qinghe Cui Shi to watch the game today. Whenever the Cheng family scored a goal, Lao Cheng would be proud and show off to Cui Shi.
Cui Shi covered her mouth and smiled lightly. This Qinghe Cui Shi's eldest daughter is also a well-known wealthy woman in Chang'an. After her husband died, she brought back her own dowry, and the husband's family's property was also divided.
"How can my curly-haired lion beast be compared to that old black?" Old Cheng said proudly.
Mrs. Cui poured a glass of wine for Lao Cheng, and Mrs. Cheng drank it all in one gulp, feeling extremely comfortable. As expected of the wine poured by a beauty, she was so excited that she couldn't help reaching out to touch Mrs. Cui's little hand. If he didn't open it, he let him hold it, and Lao Cheng's face flushed with excitement.
The VIP boxes on both sides of the stadium are also located today. In each box, all the prime ministers and princes brought their families to watch the game. They liked the fierce competition on the field.
"This game is even more exciting and lively than His Majesty's Forbidden Army polo match in Qujiang Furong Garden a few days ago."
While presiding over the referee, Qin Lang also asked about the sale of drinks and snacks on the court from time to time, and asked about the amount of bets. Generally speaking, today's game really didn't work out.
The Qin family's advertisement is also very eye-catching.
The manager of the stadium told Qin Lang that the game was not over yet, and some people had already started asking how to advertise like the Qin family.
And Li Shimin was negotiating with Empress Zhangsun, asking the empress to give him a sum of money from the inner treasury, and he also wanted to form a royal polo team. He even plans to personally serve as the team's head coach.
"Your Majesty, the concubine can draw a sum of money from the internal treasury to build the Royal Saluzi Polo Team, but your majesty must not spend too much time on it, let alone be the coach in person. If your majesty agrees, the concubine will agree Pull out the money."
Li Shimin had no choice but to say, "Okay, when the Saluzi team plays, it's okay for me to come and watch the game in person, right?"
