Chapter 7
Everyone obviously understood the rules, and everyone was eager to try it. Li Ye also vaguely guessed that it must be a iron pill or a stone pill.

At this time, two servants brought a table and put it two feet away, and the housekeeper put three porcelain vases on the table.

"Just two feet away!"

Qiao Xingzhong stood up and walked down the steps, holding a few stone pellets the size of ping-pong balls in his hand.

He smiled slightly at Li Ye and said, "I will throw stone pellets, and you will hit the stone pellets. Whoever breaks the most porcelain bottles wins, understand?"

Qiao Xingzhong glanced at the young man again, and said with a smile: "Wang Shun, you often call, you go first! Show Brother Li a demonstration."

The young man took off his coat, revealing his muscular upper body. He moved his muscles and bones, and the muscles on his arms were extraordinarily full and strong.

"Ah Shun, show your true skills!"

Several polo players cheered up the young man. They were all servants of the royal family who practiced martial arts together, and they knew each other very well.

The young man picked up the polo club and made a good posture. Qiao Xingzhong threw a stone pellet suddenly, much like playing baseball in later generations. 'A porcelain vase was smashed to pieces.

Everyone applauded loudly, "Good fight!"

Li Ye also nodded. He played well. He must have worked hard. Qiao Bin was extremely nervous. This Wang Shun was recommended by the palace early this morning. He was ranked third among the polo players of King Si Ning's servant. He has real skills. Qiao Bin Bin was very worried that Li Ye would not be able to suppress his aura.

"Come again!"

Qiao Xingzhong threw another stone pellet, and the young man swung it out, only listening to 'dang! ' With a sound, the bottle was hit, but the bottle was not broken, it just shook for a while.

This is a stoneware bottle specially used for polo practice. Although the quality is poor, the wall of the bottle is very thick. It must be hit on the front to shatter, and it will slide easily when hit on the side.

"Wang Shun, this doesn't count as points!"

"I know, please manage Joe and vote again!"

The young man swallowed a mouthful of saliva, kept pinching the club with his hands, shaking his body slightly, he was a little nervous.

Qiao Xingzhong threw the third stone ball again, the young man swung his club violently, and the stone ball was hit in a straight line, very powerful, but it was a pity that it almost missed the porcelain bottle.

Young's face was filled with frustration, and he couldn't hide the disappointment in his eyes.

Several polo players cheered him up, "One out of three, that's not bad, that kid can't even hit a single one."

Qiao Xingzhong sighed secretly, feeling a little disappointed in his heart. The shooter he was looking for was Qi Yong, who was ranked No. [-] in the Palace, and he could hit seven out of ten with porcelain vases.

"Brother Li, it's your turn!"

Li Ye nodded, and walked forward with his half-worn cue in hand, squatting in a half-squat, with a calm heart and a clear mind.

After the housekeeper put the three porcelain vases away, Qiao Xingzhong yelled and threw the stone pellets at a much faster speed than before.

Li Ye was as still as a mountain, when Shi Wan came to him, he swung the cue like lightning, and there was a crisp sound of hitting the ball, followed by 'bang! With a sound, the speed of the ball was too fast, before everyone saw Shiwan, the porcelain bottle on the far left had been smashed to pieces.

"Okay!" Qiao Bin clapped his hands excitedly. He was the only one in the yard applauding. The faces of the other polo players were very unnatural. This shot was so beautiful and impeccable.

"The second one is coming!"

Qiao Xingzhong threw the stone pill, and he secretly screamed in his heart, 'Oops! 'He missed the shot, and the stone ball hit Li Ye's body. He should move forward a little, so that Li Ye could swing the club. Now that he threw it to the body, how can he swing the club?

Qiao Xingzhong just wanted to say that this shot is not counted, but Li Ye turned his body 180 degrees, shot a backhand, and hit Shiwan accurately, and Shiwan shot powerfully, "Bang! 'The second vase was smashed to pieces.

"Beautiful!" Everyone couldn't help applauding. This turn and backhand shot was really clever, and no one present could do it.

Wang Shun's face was hot, this guy is indeed better than himself.

Qiao Bin raised his arms with excitement, "Two hits, two hits, Brother Li won!"

Qiao Xingzhong was stunned. He didn't expect that the opponent could still hit the ball when he made a mistake in throwing the ball. This was the first time he saw it. His son was right, this kid is really clever!
His eyes gradually lit up, and he laughed loudly: "Brother Li, how about we do a double jump on the third hit?"

Everyone around was in an uproar!
Li Ye leaned slightly and said, "Uncle, please explain, what does double jump mean?"

"Oh?"

Qiao Xingzhong was even more surprised, "Is this your first time?"

"It's my first time playing, I don't know the rules!"

Qiao Xingzhong gave a thumbs up, "It's so good for the first time, it's like a person who has been tempered for thousands of years, what a talent!"

In fact, he misunderstood, it was the first time to play porcelain vases, but Li Ye started playing stone pills at the age of four, and it was really honed. Of course, talent is another matter.

Li Ye didn't try to explain, just listened quietly to him explaining the rules.

"Double jump means that the stone ball moves, and the porcelain bottle also moves. Do you understand?"

Li Ye nodded. He was just shooting a sports target. He didn't know if he had practiced it, but he had completely mastered that wonderful control, and he could hit anything.

He settled his posture again, held his breath, and his heart was still like water, but the corners of his eyes were catching the movement of the porcelain vase, and the third porcelain vase was now held in the hands of the housekeeper.

"start!"

Qiao Xingzhong threw the stone pellets violently, the position was right, and this time it was not biased. At the same time, the butler also threw the porcelain bottle high.

Hitting a moving stone pellet to smash a moving porcelain bottle is more than ten times more difficult than the static bottle just now. Of course, there are masters who can do it, but none of the hundreds of family members in Si Ning Palace can do it.

Li Ye narrowed his eyes, and at that moment, a wonderful feeling of control came from his heart, and he swung out, 'Pa! 'Shiwan flashed a gray shadow in the air,' Bang! ' With a bang, the porcelain bottle disintegrated in the air and was smashed to pieces.

The yard was full of cheers, it was just wonderful.

Qiao Xingzhong's eyes shone brightly, he stroked his beard and laughed, "This kid is a rare commodity!"

Li Ye was invited into the study, Qiao Xingzhong waved his hands and said with a smile: "Please sit down!"

But there were only a few couches, which really gave Li Ye a headache. He was most afraid of going to a rich family as a guest. Unlike the poor people who sat on wooden stools and long benches, the rich people sat on couches and had to sit on their knees. How could his knees suffer? Got it?
Qiao Xingzhong saw Li Ye's embarrassment, he laughed, and sat down cross-legged, "Mr. Li, feel free!"

Li Ye also sat down cross-legged, which was more or less the same.

"That's the way it is!"

Qiao Xingzhong told him the reason for playing polo, "The Tian Da steward of the Si Ning Palace went back to his hometown for retirement, and I am the second steward, so normally I should be promoted to the chief steward.

but!There is also a third steward in the palace, surnamed Hu. His wife used to be the personal maid of the princess. He took the route of his wife, and the princess wanted this third steward Hu to be the chief steward.

The prince didn't want to break the rules, but he didn't want to make the princess unhappy, so he thought of a way. The prince likes polo the most, so he asked me and Mr. Hu San to organize a polo team and compete in ten days. The winner In order to be in charge, the princess also agreed.

There is a difficulty here. There are hundreds of servants in the palace. What the prince means is that the polo players are selected from the servants and no foreign aid is allowed. Brother Li, do you understand? "

Li Ye was sad, "Uncle, what do you mean, even though I won just now, I still can't play this game for you?"

"No! No! Mr. Li has misunderstood. I guess the prince means that professional polo players outside are not allowed to be invited, but you are not, so there is still a glimmer of hope. I want to invite you as an alternate, even if you have no chance to play. , I’ll still give you twenty pennies, if you can play, it’s fifty pennies, no matter you win or lose, how about it?”

What else?I still owe Qiao Bin 30 taels of silver!

Li Ye nodded, "Then we'll make a deal!"

 At first I called him Brother Li, but it felt good, so I changed it to Mr. Li.

  Please vote for it!
