Flowers in full bloom

Chapter 428 Competition

When Sun Xiangming raised his gun to block, he had already retracted his spear, moved down slightly, and stabbed Sun Xiangming in the middle. Sun Xiangming had no time to withdraw the gun in his hand, and for a moment, he looked a little embarrassed.

However, Bai Yunhe did not give the opponent a chance. He raised the spear in his hand forward again. The spear was like a gust of wind and rain, and the tail of the spear swept across Sun Xiangming's right waist.

The gesture slightly reversed, and the tip of the gun had accurately hit Sun Xiangming's left chest. The target was hit at its most vulnerable part, and every inch was fatal. A bright black spot on Sun Xiangming's red shirt foreshadowed his failure.

Thunderous applause rang out on the field. Just like that, Dingxi Marquis Mansion won the competition with a best-of-three result.

Hua Lei was also dumbfounded. The martial arts scenes that she had only seen on the Internet before appeared so realistically before her eyes, which made her excited and terrified at the same time.

Oh my god, if I was shot by anyone on the field, would I still be alive? It was too scary. However, it was also really exciting, these people were so amazing.

Bai Yunhe, who had already dismounted, glanced at the stands of the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion. The girl's radiant eyes pleased him, and he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

The competitions in the morning were all over, and there was an hour left for rest and to fill their stomachs. Everyone on the field looked for places to eat lunch. Outside the training ground, Hualei's small food trucks had already occupied various key points.

In order to facilitate the sale of set meals, Hua Lei specially spent a very cheap price to ask Liang Xiangyi to buy several pieces of linen that were severely broken and had them made into cloth bags.

Then, we put all the sets of meals that the customers needed into a cloth bag, and also considerately put in a pair of simple bamboo chopsticks, and gave them to the customers who purchased them.

This makes it very convenient, so the contestants who are reluctant to go to the restaurant line up to buy the food. After buying it, they just sit on the oilcloth next to the small food cart and start eating.

Every time it was lunchtime, there was always a long line in front of Hualei's food truck, and the oilcloth was filled with people eating heartily.

There were also people from the same hometown who bought different kinds of lunchboxes and ate together on the oilcloth. When business was good at noon, the oilcloth was full of people.

Therefore, Hualei temporarily used the oilcloth on the boat to deal with the emergency. When there was no room on the oilcloth, the guests could only find a place to sit on the ground.

Although within a few days, some small vendors imitating the Hua Lei's food truck appeared around, but, on the one hand, their products might not be complete enough, and second, the taste might not be as good as that of the Hua Ji food truck, so there were still many customers patronizing the Hua Ji food truck.

The Huaji restaurant car has both vegetarian and non-vegetarian food, as well as wine and meat. There are many choices and the food is very satisfying. Moreover, after eating, even if you lie on the oilcloth for a while, the owner never gives you a bad look, which can be said to be very kind.

Of course, Hualei, Zhenzhu, Madam Pei, and several women from the Marquis's residence had booked a restaurant nearby in advance. When the time came, they went to the restaurant to have lunch, and then went to the guest room to rest for a while before returning to the training ground to watch the competition in the afternoon.

Old Marquis Pei usually eats lunch with his old friends, so he rarely comes to eat lunch with Hualei Zhenzhu and the others.

Rong Jin, Rong Jue and Xiao Yuan would come over if there was enough time. If not, they could only buy a meal package from the Hualei food truck and take it away to save time.

After finishing lunch in the restaurant and resting for a while in the guest room, Madam Pei and Hualei Zhenzhu returned to the stands of the parade ground together.

There were two polo matches in the afternoon. Rong Jin and Rong Yu would both participate. Rong Jue and Xiao Yuan were too young to participate. However, they had already occupied good positions on the field early.

At the beginning of the 4th hour of Wei, the first polo match was about to begin. Hua Lei saw that Rong Jin, Rong Yu, Bai Yunhe, and Sun Xiangming were all in the competing team.

All the participants in the polo competition wore dark narrow-sleeved robes, knee-high leather boots with upturned tips, and a fu hat on their heads. They all held a crescent-shaped polo stick several feet long.

Before the game starts, you will be divided into groups. Draw lots from a staff member standing at the side of the field. The team with red words on the note you draw is the red team, and the team with blue words on the note is the blue team.

After a cup of tea, the grouping was completed and each team member tied a cloth tape of the corresponding color on his or her arm.

"Oh, the eldest and second brothers are both in the red team, so I don't have to worry about which team to cheer for." Zhenzhu saw Rong Jin and Rong Yu on the field, both with red ribbons tied around their arms, and said to Hualei with a smile. Hualei nodded in agreement.

There were a total of twenty-four people participating in the competition, with twelve people in each team, which seemed to be one more person than in the football competition in the previous life. There were also forwards, defenders, goalkeepers, etc., which was very similar to the previous life.

However, the field seemed to be larger than a football field. Hualei estimated that it was about 220 meters long and 70 to 80 meters wide. There was a corresponding goal on each side. The winner of a polo match was determined by the number of times the ball hit the opponent's goal.

Of course, today's polo is different from the football in the past. Today's polo is made of thick wool rope wrapped into a ball, and then sewn with sheepskin on the outside to form a round ball with a diameter of about half a foot.

A quarter of an hour later, the competition officially began and all participants sat on their horses and took their positions.

With a loud command, the game officially began. The riders of the two teams quickly rode their horses and galloped towards the polo ball in the air. With a slight "puff", Sun Xiangming of the blue team got the ball first, and the polo ball drew a beautiful arc in the air and went straight to the backcourt of the red team.

However, Rong Yu from the red team had already stared at the polo ball in mid-air. Without waiting for the polo ball to get close to the goal area, he rode his horse forward and gently swung the stick in his hand, and the polo ball immediately changed direction.

However, perhaps due to lack of strength or too low an angle, the polo ball began to curve downward after passing its own center field. Rong Jin in the front field saw this, lightly kicked the horse's belly, turned nimbly, swung the stick, and hit the polo ball hard. The polo ball took advantage of the momentum and flew towards the blue team's midfield area.

Bai Yunhe, who had a blue ribbon tied around his arm, and several other players around him had already been waiting there. Before the polo ball fell, Bai Yunhe hit it upwards and the polo ball changed direction again.

A member of the blue team in the front field hit the polo ball with a stick just in time when it was falling, and the polo ball headed towards the red team's backfield.

For a moment, under the confrontation between the two teams, the polo ball ran towards the blue team's goal and then went directly to the red team's backcourt.
