Because of the need to show his face in front of the Beirong people, this year's dragon boat race was extremely fierce. After the dragon boat, a special flower boat came over, and people leaped, swinged, or danced on the water, each movement was more difficult than the other, and it was dazzling.

There were constant cheers from both sides of the strait. It was a very lively occasion, but Mu Mingtang never entered.

It's not that the water show is not exciting enough, but Mu Mingtang feels that these acrobatics have reached their peak. What really complicates her mood is those in power in the stands.

It is not wrong for the people to indulge in entertainment and indulge in enjoyment, but the people in power are also like this, it is difficult for people to praise it.

Jinmingchi was originally a military position for naval exercises. Now the emperor takes the lead in watching dragon boats and water shows at Jinmingchi. He also opened Jinmingchi to openly promote fun.

These performances were dazzling and consumed an unknown amount of manpower and material resources. At the same time, Xixia was ambitious, Beirong was actively expanding, and the activities of the Jurchens in the northeast became increasingly close. Only the Ye Dynasty has continuously reduced its armaments and suppressed military commanders for several years. The Zhezi that conquered Youyun Sixteen States was also kept indefinitely.

Mu Mingtang couldn't help but sighed in his heart.

I hope that Bei Rong’s intention to discuss peace is true, or anyhow, that it can make the Ye Dynasty peaceful for a few more years.

When she experienced the horrible life, she knew that there was a safe roof, and she didn't have to worry about how precious tomorrow was before going to bed every night. She really didn't want Ye Dynasty to go out of war again.

After the dragon boat bidding and the water play show ended, the emperor's intention was still unfulfilled, and he changed places to continue playing. In the Beirongduo Gobi grassland, the endless water patterns of the Ye Dynasty are rarely seen. Yeluyan was also aroused and proposed to play polo.

After hearing what Yeluyan said, the emperor was stunned. It's not difficult to play polo. There is a polo court in the palace, and it is the people who play polo.

Yeluyan proposed to play polo, and Ye dynasty would inevitably have someone to accompany Yeluyan. Ye dynasty is the host, and the ratio of winning or losing must be well grasped. Guests should not be allowed to play and lose repeatedly. They should not have the demeanor of a big country, but too much will not work.

The emperor even felt that his worries were completely groundless, and he was afraid that he could not win at all.

Polo is an immediate sport, which is the strength of Beirong people. Now that the peace talks have entered a stalemate, if it is exposed at this time that the Ye dynasty is not as powerful as Bei Rong, it may be very detrimental to the subsequent peace talks.

The emperor pondered for a moment and smiled: "It's rare for Hachioji to have this kind of Yaxing. Since Hachioji likes it, there is nothing wrong with me as a host. But. How do Hachioji plan to play?"

After the emperor finished speaking, Mu Mingtang felt Yeluyan looked in their direction, and suddenly said: "I have heard of the name of King Qiyang in Beirong for a long time. Today, I am willing to fight."

The audience was quiet after the speech, and then, everyone's eyes looked at Xie Xuanchen.

Unlike everyone else, Xie Xuanchen didn't seem surprised when he heard his own name. But his expression was still very calm, he glanced at Yeluyan casually, and said lightly, "No."

Xie Xuanchen's attitude annoyed Yeluyan, Yeluyan's face sank, and he asked, "Why?"

The emperor frowned slightly. He gave Xie Xuanchen a faint glance, but Xie Xuanchen refused, and the emperor immediately answered, "Unfortunately, since King An is unwilling, then let it go. The Eighth Prince might as well find someone else."

Yeluyan is proficient in Han and is exposed to Han culture, but after all, he is a Khitan. Yeluyan was also a prince in Beirong. Although he was not the most influential among the brothers, there was no reason to be slapped in the face again and again. Xie Xuanchen made repeated provocations several times, and Yeluyan was also provoked. He asked, "Wang An is unwilling. This king naturally has no reason to force it. But why is King An avoiding and not fighting? Why is he afraid of losing?"

"Lose?" Xie Xuanchen didn't intend to respond. Hearing Yeluyan said he was afraid of losing, he smiled lightly. When turning to Yeluyan, his eyes were full of cold disdain, "I Xie Xuanchen is not afraid of the word. You are too weak to be my opponent."

Mu Mingtang took a sigh of relief when she heard it. She maintained the cool and calm personality, but under her wide sleeves she was desperately pulling Xie Xuanchen's sleeves.

It's almost done, pretend not to be too much.

Mu Mingtang couldn't listen to the Khitan people admiring martial arts, let alone the group of Beirong people. Yeluyan was furious when he heard this, stood up with a bang, and said loudly: "There is a saying among the Han people, telling you to say nothing. Don’t try to amplify the words. We are really capable. We See you soon."

Xie Xuanchen also smiled and nodded, and said, "Okay. Since you have to humiliate yourself, I will stay with you to the end."

As Xie Xuanchen and Yeluyan both stood up, the atmosphere in the court suddenly changed, as if there were tiny electric sparks bursting in the air. The Beirong people were stirred up by this atmosphere one by one, and stood up frightened: "Hachioji, I'm here to play."

"I am going too!"

The Bei Rong people were all enthusiastic, and the emperor frowned slightly invisibly.

In fact, he didn't really want Xie Xuanchen to have too much presence, especially in such diplomatic occasions. Xie Xuanchen has appeared too frequently recently.

I only blame Xie Xuanchen for being so famous. He has been hiding in the snow for two years, and he still has an obsession with outsiders.

The emperor sighed inwardly, but the overall situation was the most important. Seeing that the people of Bei Rong were sturdy and powerful, they were all powerful and powerful. If Xie Xuanchen lost, the emperor's face would not be easy. For the sake of the overall situation, the emperor could only temporarily put aside his and Xie Xuanchen's differences in position, at least, first pass this close.

The emperor said: "King An and Hachioji are young and energetic, and they can learn from each other, just to promote the understanding between our two countries. I love seeing you young people who are full of vigor and vitality, so I will refer back to the two of you. The five of Hachioji It's all here, Wang An, who do you like to play with you?"

Everyone here understands that there is no selfishness in front of the overall situation. The next polo match is about the face of the country. No matter what personal grievances have been before, they must push it now. No matter who Xie Xuanchen chooses, the chosen person must assist him with all his strength.

There is no need to worry that teammates will not do their best. In contrast, I am afraid that teammates will not be selected at all.

Many of the people on the scene knew about themselves. They looked at the Khitan side with a powerful kong and martial arts, and their arms were able to race horses. Then they looked at the Qingyishui scholars and scholars on the side of Ye Chao, Qi Qi was embarrassed.

Xie Xuanchen didn't bother to look at it, and said directly: "Whatever you want. It doesn't make a difference anyway."

People in Ye Dynasty were a little sad when they heard it, and the emperor looked around and felt that no one had a choice. For the first time, he regretted that there were no generals in the central government. Otherwise, he wouldn't even have five people.

Xie Xuanji had just been silent. At this moment, he stepped forward and said, "Father, my son is willing to help the second brother."

Xie Xuanji took the initiative to ask for a fight, and many people cast admiring eyes on Xie Xuanji. Jiang Mingwei standing beside Xie Xuanji also felt proud.

Although Jiang Mingwei does not remember the story of playing polo with the Beirong people in the original book, Xie Xuanji is the male lead, and the male lead personally plays the horse, so how can he not be a big show.

Jiang Mingwei seems to have realized that the story of the Lantern Festival fire fighting is inexplicable, so Xie Xuanji will win glory for the country next, and then it is logical to participate in the negotiation and signing of the agreement?

The more Jiang Mingwei thought about it, the more he felt that it was the truth. After she learned that it was the plot, she was immediately relieved. At this moment, facing the gaze cast by everyone, Jiang Mingwei felt very proud of being in it.

This is her husband, the unique hero. When they envy her in the future, there will be others.

After Xie Xuanji took the initiative to stand up, several people responded one after another. They can’t be blamed for not being active. It’s that this kind of thing is too risky. It’s easy to say if you win everything. If you lose and lose face to the court, what should you do?

After all, there are many civil servants in this room, even if they are honorable, they have been pampered for a long time and gradually become blessed. They usually have fun with officials and lords who are also inactive, and go to play with the burly and majestic Beirong people who have grown up on horseback. Aren't they insulting themselves?

The emperor also felt embarrassed. Xie Xuanchen said casually, but they couldn't really choose casually. The emperor and several princes chose to choose, and finally gathered five people with the most balanced strength that they believed to be.

The Bei Rong people had been ready for a long time. Seeing that the Han people had to wait so long to form a team, they booed frequently. In the end, Prime Minister Song carefully gathered people together, and Xie Xuanchen didn't even look at it, so he turned and left.

The two sides arrived on the court for the first time. The emperor was afraid that it would be too ugly to lose. He deliberately prepared his words in advance: "You young people learn from each other. This is a good thing, but the game is just a pastime. Don't hurt our two countries for the regional game. Be kind."

Therefore, winning is honor, and losing is for the harmony of the two countries, and it is the tolerance of the big country.

The men went to the polo field to prepare. The eunuchs had already prepared the canopy and the throne, waiting for the emperor to move and watch the polo on the outside table.

The emperor was first, and the queen followed. After these two left, Lin Linluo left the other female relatives. Mu Mingtang is in the highest seat, and when he goes out, he is the farthest away.

When she walked over, the stands were already full of people, and the places with a slightly better angle of view were crowded with ladies and ladies and their maids. Among them, the most spacious place, the place closest to the racecourse, has long been occupied.

Xiao Siyi, who had had a relationship before, was standing there, ignoring the gazes of people around her, shouting to Yeluyan. Because Xie Xuanji was also on the court, Jiang Mingwei insisted on enduring the embarrassment and stood over.

Jiang Mingwei is here, and the other people in the Jin Palace are also around. This includes the celebrity a few days ago, the glamorous and bold Princess Tayan Wanyanduo.

Wanyan Duo is still dressed as a foreign race, but her hair is already curled up. This is the same outside the Central Plains Pass. Girls have their hair down, and only women can put up their long braids and make some complicated and gorgeous buns.

People on the periphery noticed that Mu Mingtang was coming, and they stepped aside: "Princess An."

Everyone bowed their heads to salute her. The call Xie Xuanchen said not long ago was still in his ears, but now no one wants to bump up without eye-catching, specifically to touch that evil star.

The signal spread more and more widely like water waves. The people inside noticed movement behind them, and when they turned their heads to see that it was Mu Mingtang, they immediately understood and followed suit. Mu Mingtang walked unimpeded to the innermost level, Jiang Mingwei and Xiao Siyi stood side by side in front of the fence, the front court was loud, and Xiao Siyi kept making noise, Jiang Mingwei did not hear the movement behind him.

Mu Mingtang then smiled and reminded: "Princess Jin."

Jiang Mingwei turned her head when she heard the voice, and was stunned when she saw Mu Mingtang. She didn't seem to understand why, and when she saw Mu Mingtang's familiar and undue smile, Jiang Mingwei realized later and knew that Mu Mingtang was asking her to give up her position.

Jiang Mingwei immediately started a wildfire in his heart. Should Mu Mingtang act this way? It is said that one-third of the room for being a person is for others as well as for himself, but Mu Mingtang no, he must be killed, disgusting people must be disgusting to the extreme.

Jiang Mingwei kept cursing in her heart, but in front of everyone, there was the emperor and the queen not far away. Jiang Mingwei could not "disrespect brother and sister" in public, and could only endure suffocation, stepped back and said: "It was my negligence. , I didn’t notice that the sister-in-law is coming. The second brother is about to play, and the sister-in-law, please stand in front.

Mu Mingtang was very satisfied, and said with a smile: "Wang Jin is also on the court, and Princess Jin has already stood up, but now you give me the position, isn't it a bad idea?"

If you don’t know well, then you still ask? Jiang Mingwei is very angry, but she can't destroy herself, so she can only continue to lower her eyebrows and say, "It doesn't matter, I can see it. The growth is orderly, I should give way to my sister-in-law."

"This is really embarrassing." Mu Mingtang said as he stepped forward. After walking in front of Jiang Mingwei, she raised her chin slightly, arrogant, as she deserved.

Even Xiao Siyi looked at Mu Mingtang, and she recognized who it was at a glance, the wife of the **** of killing Xie Xuanchen, and the concubine of An Palace. When Xie Xuanchen and the Queen Mother of Ye Dynasty clashed, Yeluyan and others were paying attention to the meaning behind this representation, while Xiao Siyi's attention was on some small details.

Xiao Siyi remembered it clearly. At that time, many people wanted to persuade Xie Xuanchen but didn't dare. So many people were helpless against Xie Xuanchen, but Mu Mingtang was able to hold Xie Xuanchen's hand grandiosely and motioned him to stop talking.

And Xie Xuanchen actually stopped talking.

Men are good-looking. The more some people persuade him, the more he will be able to do it. When his wife persuades him, he feels that his wife has made him ashamed. Anyway, the men Xiao Siyi knew, including her family elders, were like this.

But Xie Xuanchen was in the crowd, because Mu Mingtang could not say a word, neither caring about his face, nor irritating Mu Mingtang. This is really very rare in Xiao Siyi's cognition.

Xiao Siyi's aunt was the queen mother, living in a different place, Xiao Siyi couldn't imagine how anyone would dare to confront the queen mother, and then this person did not have any punishment, instead the queen mother avoided seeing her. What is even more surprising is that this man is obedient to his wife.

Xiao Siyi couldn't figure it out, but the two things she couldn't understand were all related to the woman in front of her. Xiao Siyi took a quick look at Mu Mingtang again and gave way to the left. In this way, the middle position belongs to Mu Mingtang.

In the eyes of those behind, it was Mu Mingtang approaching and yelling softly, Princess Jin respectfully stepped aside. But Bei Rong's lawless, domineering and rude prospective princess and niece of the queen mother, after seeing it, gave way to Mu Mingtang.

Everyone couldn't help but tsk in their hearts. They watched Mu Mingtang pass the crowd all the way to the front. The sun shone on her, and her silver-purple dress became more radiant and shining. And Mu Mingtang stood at the forefront with hands clasped, with a flat shoulder and a long neck. Everyone formed a semicircle behind her, as if everyone in the world gave her way as it should be. She would be Should be in the first place.

At this moment, the men have already tied their sleeves, picked up their horses, and are ready to play.

Xie Xuanchen casually weighed the weight of Yanyue Rod, walked to the horse, and turned on the horse.

Xie Xuanchen has long and straight legs, as well as his wide shoulders and slender waist. His limbs are slender. The way he mounts is that men look good at them and attract a lot of attention.

Someone tried to discuss with Xie Xuanchen: "His Royal Highness An, how do we cooperate in a while?"

Xie Xuanchen sat on the horse, his eyes suddenly raised. Obviously it was a familiar movement like walking and sleeping, but now, he felt a little nostalgic.

He couldn't help touching the horse's mane, feeling a long-lost feeling of blood surging.

A long absence.

He is back.

Xie Xuanchen was acquainted with the speed and strength of the horse, and heard someone talking in his ears. He didn't even bother to see who it was, so he said, "No need."

The person was rejected, and his tone immediately weakened. He obviously wanted to help, but now his tone became very humble: "...The minister means, how do you plan to fight, so we can help."

"It's all said no." Xie Xuanchen was annoyed by the question, and finally glanced at his teammates for the first straight eye, "I'll be enough by myself, you just need to live."

Although the others understood that Xie Xuanchen was just talking casually, they couldn't help but fought a cold war in their hearts. It's enough to live... Don't they just play polo?

What is this big killer going to do?

After Xie Xuanchen finished speaking, he took the lead and walked into the field first. Yeluyan was originally discussing tactics, and when he noticed Xie Xuanchen's movements, Yeluyan didn't want to be outdone, and immediately stepped up to push forward.

With the movements of the two parties, the people in the stands also cheered up. The huge venue was crowded but quiet, and even Xiao Siyi stopped making noises, holding hands tightly and waiting for the opening.

Soon, the **** next to the emperor came out to say something and announced the start of the game.

The moment the announcement was made, Yeluyan's horse moved, and at this time, the eunuch's voice fell.

Xiao Siyi screamed fiercely, yelling Yeluyan's name in Khitan. Yeluyan is fast, but Xie Xuanchen is faster. He just gently shook Yanyue's club and shook the opponent's mouth numb. He couldn't hold the club. Before the passer could react, the polo was in Xie Xuanchen's hands.

Seeing the bad situation, Yeluyan knew that he still underestimated Xie Xuanchen's power. They were riding horses since they were young, and driving horses was almost like physical instinct. Soon, the Beirong people lined up in a row, blocking Xie Xuanchen's pass from all angles.

At this time, the other four people from the Ye Dynasty, Xie Xuanchen's "teammates", did not even rush over on horseback.

Xie Xuanchen also didn't care about no one to answer him. He reined his horse, pedaling his hooves back and forth, as if looking for an angle. Yeluyan winked at the others, indicating that they must be optimistic about Xie Xuanchen and not let him break through.

It's a pity that Xie Xuanchen never thought of breaking through from the beginning.

Without warning, he slammed the club, and the polo shot out like a shooting star, traversing the jumbled legs of the court, crossing half of the court, and directly into the hole.

After the polo was thrown into the net, it drove the board to make a buzzing vibration. Xie Xuanchen straightened up and looked at everyone on the court who was shocked and unable to keep up with the progress. He turned the cue half a circle in his palm, and asked seriously: "Are you really going to fight anymore? It involves diplomatic relations between the two countries." , You got a zero in the end, how ugly."

The author has something to say: Yeluyan: I feel offended.

Mu Mingtang: Speak well, don't pretend to be forced.
