Chapter 34 Final Examination for Membership ([-])

Before dawn the next day, the old horse's body was dragged away by an ox cart. Li Ye persuaded his mother to spend five guan to bury the old horse outside the city so that it would not be eaten by others.

Li Ye changed into a blue samurai uniform and black leather boots. This samurai uniform is actually a long gown, but it is slightly narrowed at the waist, which fits the body better. The sides are slit, and the leather belts on the sides make him look energetic. Wearing a sword is very Has the temperament of a martial artist.

Li Ye hung a short sword on his waist and held an iron and wood club in his hand. Pei Sanniang and Aunt Mu kept sending him to the door. Zhang Xiaopang had been waiting for a long time with Pei Min's white horse.

"Little Fatty, ride a donkey!"

Pei Sanniang hurriedly led the big green donkey out, "It's in the Tai Chi Palace! It's too far to go."

Li Ye also laughed and said, "There should be a place to store donkeys over there!"

Zhang Xiaopang agreed, got on the donkey, and the two of them walked towards Tai Chi Palace one after the other.

． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．
Zuowei Dapo Stadium is located in the imperial city of Taiji Palace. Taiji Palace was the imperial palace in the early Tang Dynasty and was built in the Sui Dynasty. Since Emperor Li Longji moved to Daming Palace, Taiji Palace has been neglected.

All the old maids, eunuchs and concubines lived in the palace city of Taiji Palace, and the part of the imperial city was originally the imperial court office, but now the important imperial court office has been moved to Daming Palace.

There are only some external offices left in the imperial city of Taiji Palace, such as Honglu Temple, Guozijian, etc., as well as functional departments such as Guanglu Temple and Shaofu Temple.

Most of the army's official offices are also concentrated in the imperial city, the famous Twelve Guards' official offices, etc., and some garrison camps are also located in the imperial city.

There are many people coming in and out of the Tai Chi Palace Imperial City, and the guard soldiers are not so strict. They just need to look at the entrance and exit signs to let them go.

A lot of people came to watch the final match of the polo club today. Because it is a knockout match, it is relatively confrontational and very interesting. In addition, you can gamble money, which attracts many polo fans to watch the match. You can enter the imperial city with a ticket.

Li Ye came neither too early nor too late. Many polo players who participated in the final test came one after another outside the palace gate, and almost everyone brought a caddy with them.

"Lao Li, there is a shed over there for storing livestock!"

Zhang Xiaopang found a large shed on the far side, which seemed to be a special place to store the strength of his feet. Many people riding horses and donkeys passed by.

"I'm going to save the donkey!"

Li Ye took out his money bag and gave it to him, Zhang Xiaopang was not polite, took the money bag and urged the donkey to pass.

At this time, there was a golfer by the left door, who saw Li Ye from a distance, turned around and ran into the imperial city.

"Leader!"

Panting, the golfer found Yang Hui and said, "I saw that flying shark, here he is, riding a white horse!"

"what?"

Yang Hui's eyes widened, and he asked again: "Is it his old horse? Did you take the club?"

"It's not that shabby old horse, it's a nice white horse, and he has clubs!"

The little flying dragon next to him said: "He has a good relationship with the chief steward of Prince Ning's mansion, he should be able to borrow a horse."

Yang Hui snorted heavily, "Okay! I'll go find someone."

Yang Hui turned around and went to the temporary government office in the polo field.

Yang Hui blocked Chen Tai, the official of the polo department, at the entrance of the big tent, "Chen Shucheng, I should have no problem with what I told you last time!"

Chen Tai sighed and said, "How do you do this under the watchful eyes of everyone?"

"Isn't the final qualification review not enough?"

"I've checked his qualifications carefully. There is no problem. King Si Ning will guarantee him. Leader Yang, why don't you go talk to Prince Si Ning and ask him to withdraw the guarantee?"

Yang Hui's complexion suddenly turned ugly, he understood what Chen Tai meant, it was obvious that King Si Ning had more face than himself.

Yang Hui sneered and said, "Chen Shucheng, please clarify one issue. I personally have no grievances with Feisha. Why should I bother him? I'm actually just running errands. Do you understand?"

Yang Hui implying that this is the trouble the Yang family is looking for Fei Sha, he snorted, "I've said everything I need to say, you can figure it out yourself!"

Yang Hui walked away, Chen Tai fell into a predicament, with Yang Guozhong on one side and King Si Ning on the other, what should we do?
He found a confidant to discuss countermeasures, and the confidant smiled and said: "Actually, the weight of the Yang family is more important. After all, that young man is not someone of King Si Ning, so I suggest that the Yang family be more biased, but not too much. King Ning."

"Nonsense! Of course I know, the key is how to grasp this speed?"

The confidants whispered: "We can use reasonable rules to eliminate that boy, so and so!"

The subordinate's method is good, since it is within the scope of the rules, King Si Ning has nothing to say, and at the same time, he can give the Yang family an explanation.

Chen Tai nodded again and again, "That's the only way!"

． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．
The Zuowei Polo Field, also known as the Big Polo Field, is the largest polo field in Chang'an and even in the world. Every year, the finals of the polo league are held here, and even the emperor Li Longji and the imperial concubine will also attend the game.

Stands are built around with wood and slate, which can accommodate up to [-] spectators to watch the game. Today is the final test match for membership of the polo club. Although it is not as exciting as a polo game, it is the off season and there is really no ball to watch , and the ticket price is not expensive, you can buy a ticket for [-] cents. The final test still attracted many polo fans to watch the game, and the stadium was almost full.

In fact, there is another interesting thing here, which is gambling.

People in the Tang Dynasty love to gamble, from the emperor to the ordinary people, they are very keen on gambling, but small gambles are enjoyable, but big gambles will destroy the family and the country. The imperial court regulated gambling in "Tang Laws", Gambling has a certain degree, small gambling is allowed, but excessive gambling is illegal.

With legal norms, small gambling games will be set up in various places and activities, and polo is closely related to gambling, and it is an official gambling game.

Today's final exam also has a gamble. There are two types of gambles. The first is the whole game. For example, [-] polo players will participate in the final exam, and only [-] will be admitted in the end. You can bet on who will be admitted.

But this kind of gamble is a small gamble, which is not interesting. It is stipulated that each person can only spend a maximum of [-] yuan to buy ten gambling tickets. If you happen to bet on an unpopular bet, you may make a small profit.

Another kind of bet is to bet on the first place in the group. For example, I bet on who is in the first group. I am optimistic about this person. He will definitely win the No. 1 in the group. Fifty guan will be gone, and those who are bet will get it.

This is exciting gambling. After the lottery is over, the names of each group will be listed, and then everyone bets.

This time Li Ye was No. 170. He and Xiaopang each spent the same amount of money to buy the Flying Shark No. 170 to pass the exam.

Li Ye gave 50 taels of silver to Qiao Bin, which was used to bet on the top spot in the group stage, and of course he was also betting on himself.

Zhang Xiaopang sat in the shed and showed Li Ye the horse and club, and Li Ye went to draw lots.

Ten tents were set up on the side of the stadium, and they looked for the corresponding tent according to their own numbers. Li Ye was the sixth tent, and there was a long queue outside, and only one person could enter each time to draw lots.

When it was Li Ye's turn, he opened the curtain and walked into the tent. There was a table in the tent, and two examiners with expressionless faces were sitting in front of the table.

An examiner took his number and looked at it, pointing to a black jar next to it, "Only one can be drawn!"

Li Ye reached in and took out a folded piece of card paper, opened it, and the third group was written on it.

Another examiner registered his examination number and group, Li Ye turned and went out, but Li Ye didn't know that as soon as he went out, the two examiners quickly changed a black jar.

． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．
What followed was a long wait, because statistics were needed, and then bets were accepted. The bets were still in the ten large tents just now, and there was a long queue outside, all of them were spectators, and everyone came to place with copper coins or silver. Note.

A big sign was erected on it, and the candidates for each group were written on it.

Li Ye and Ma Jinsong sat on the bench in front of the shed to be painted, that is, their faces were painted with oil paint, and a painter painted delicate patterns on their faces.

Ma Jinsong said with a smile: "Today, two young masters also took the exam, one is Feilong's apprentice Falcon, and the other is Liefeng's apprentice Suzaku."

Feilong and Liefeng are super masters who play with the emperor in the palace. Of course they have their own apprentices.

Li Ye smiled and said, "The two of them should recommend it directly! Still need an exam?"

"It may be that their master is more proud and disdains to recommend it!"

Li Ye asked again: "Which group did they draw?"

"I don't know Suzaku, I only know that Falcon is the third group!"

Li Ye was startled, "Is he also in the third group?"

Ma Jinsong was taken aback, "Could it be that Brother Xian is also in the third group?"

Li Ye nodded, "It's still a coincidence!"

Li Ye had a bad feeling in his heart. With the bet with Yang Hui, all the bad luck he encountered today would have the shadow of conspiracy.

"No way Suzaku is also the third group?"

　Hei Can's method is like this, because he knows his test number in advance, so he knows which big account he will draw.Only one person can enter the big tent at a time, so as to prevent people nearby from finding out.

　　There are two black pots, one black pot contains all the third group, and the other black pot is the normal draw.

　　One of the examiners knew Li Ye, and when Li Ye was the next one, they changed the pot when Li Ye entered the account, so Li Ye must be drawn into the third group.

　　The other two, Falcon and Suzaku Ye, did the same trick, allowing them to be drawn into the third group.

　　In this way, Li Ye can be eliminated within the rules.
