Chapter 7 Rare things to live in
Everyone obviously understood the rules and was eager to try them. Li Ye also guessed that it must be a thief or a stone pill.
At this time, two servants brought a table and placed it two meters away. The housekeeper placed three porcelain bottles on the table.
"Just two feet away!"
Qiao Xingzhong stood up and walked down the steps, with a few more ping-pong ball-sized stone balls on his hand.
He smiled at Li Ye and said, "I'll throw stone balls. You will hit the stone balls. Those who smash more porcelain bottles will win. Do you understand?"
Qiao Xingzhong glanced at the young man again and said with a smile: "Wang Shun, you often fight, you should first! Give Brother Li a demonstration."
The young man took off his outer robe and exposed his strong upper body. He moved his muscles and bones, and the muscles on his arms were particularly full and strong.
"Ashun, 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 were very familiar with each other.
The young man picked up the poke and made his posture. Qiao Xingzhong suddenly threw out a Shiba, which looked like playing baseball in later generations. The young man swung his swing and the Shiba flew out, and a porcelain bottle was smashed to pieces.
Everyone cheered, "Good fight!"
Li Ye nodded, he played well and should have made hard work, while Qiao Bin was particularly nervous. Wang Shun was recommended by the royal palace early this morning, and ranked third among the polo players of Sining King. With real skills, Qiao Bin was very worried that Li Ye could not suppress his aura.
"Come again!"
Qiao Xingzhong threw out another stone ball, and the young swing came out. He heard the sound of "Dang!" and hit the bottle, but the bottle did not break, just shook it.
This is a stoneware bottle specially used to practice polo. Although the quality is poor, the wall of the bottle is very thick. It must be hit on the front to crush it. It is easy to slide over the side to hit on the side.
"Wang Shun, this is not a big deal!"
"I know, please manage Qiao and then submit!"
The young man swallowed, kept pinching the club with his hands and shaking his body lightly, and he became a little nervous.
Qiao Xingzhong threw out the third stone ball again. The young man swung his pole and the stone ball was shot straight, which was very powerful. Unfortunately, he almost wiped the porcelain bottle by a little while.
Young suddenly looked depressed and could not hide the disappointment in his eyes.
Several polo players cheered him up, "It's already good to have one out of three, that kid can't hit any of them."
Qiao Xingzhong sighed secretly, feeling a little disappointed. The shooter he was looking for was Qi Yong, the number one in the royal family, who could beat seven out of ten porcelain bottles.
"Brother Li, it's your turn!"
Li Ye nodded, carried his half-old club forward, half-squatted horse stance, his heart was as calm as water, and his mind was clear.
The housekeeper put three porcelain bottles, Qiao Xingzhong shouted loudly and threw out the stone balls, which was much faster than before.
Li Ye was as quiet as a mountain. When Shiwan arrived in front of him, the club swung out like lightning. A crisp sound of hitting the ball was followed by a 'bang!'. The ball was too fast. Before everyone could see Shiwan, the porcelain bottle on the left was smashed to pieces.
"Okay!" Qiao Bin clapped his hands excitedly. He was the only one in the yard. The other polo players had a very unnatural face. This shot was so beautiful that it was impeccable.
"The second one is here!"
Qiao Xingzhong threw Shiwan and shouted in his heart, "Oh no!" He threw it, Shiwan hit Li Ye's body, and he should have moved forward a little, so Li Ye could swing the ball. Now he threw it towards his body, how could he swing the ball?
Qiao Xingzhong was about to say that this shot was not counted, but Li Ye's body rotated 180 degrees and hit Shiwan accurately with one backhand. Shiwan shot away strongly, "Bang!" The second porcelain bottle was smashed to pieces.
"Beautiful!" Everyone couldn't help but cheer. This shot turned around and backhanded shot was indeed very clever, and no one present could do it.
Wang Shun's face was so hot that this guy was indeed better than himself.
Qiao Bin was so excited that he shook his arms with both hands, "Brother Li won when he hit two shots!"
Qiao Xingzhong was stunned. He didn't expect that he would make a mistake in pitching the ball, and the other party could hit the ball. This was the first time he saw him. His son was right. This kid is really clever!
His eyes gradually shone out, and he laughed loudly: "Brother Li, how about we hit a double jump in the third strike?"
Everyone around was in an uproar!
Li Ye bowed slightly and said, "Please explain it to me, what does double jump mean?"
"oh?"
Qiao Xingzhong was even more surprised, "Is this your first time fighting?"
"The first time kid beats me, I don't understand the rules!"
Qiao Xingzhong gave a thumbs up, "It's so amazing for the first time, just like a thousand-tricked ones, with a different talent!"
In fact, he misunderstood. It was the first time to hit a porcelain bottle, but Li Ye started to hit Shimaru at the age of four. It was really a triumphant. Of course, talent is another matter.
Li Ye did not explain deliberately, listened to him telling the rules.
"Double jumps meant that Ishimaru moved, and the porcelain bottle also moved. Do you understand?"
Li Ye nodded, just playing sports targets. He didn't know if he had practiced it, but he had completely mastered that wonderful control and could do anything.
He once again set up his posture, held his breath, his heart was as calm as water, but the corners of his eyes were catching the dynamics of the porcelain bottle, and the third porcelain bottle was held in the butler's hand at this time.
"start!"
Qiao Xingzhong suddenly threw the Shiba out, the position was very straight, and this time it was not biased. At the same time, the butler also threw the porcelain bottle high.
It is more than ten times more difficult to hit Shiba in the exercise to smash the porcelain bottle in the exercise than the static bottle just now. Of course, there are experts who can do it, but none of the hundreds of officials in the Sining Palace can do it.
Li Ye narrowed his eyes. At that moment, a wonderful feeling of control arises from his heart. He swung out, "Bang!" Shiwan flashed a gray shadow in the air. With a "bang!", the porcelain bottle disintegrated in the air and was beaten to pieces.
The yard was cheering, it was so wonderful.
Qiao Xingzhong's eyes shone and his beard stroked and laughed, "This kid is so weird!"
...........
Li Ye was invited into the study room, Qiao Xingzhong waved his hand and smiled, "Please sit down!"
But only a few couches really make Li Ye very angry. He is most afraid of visiting wealthy families. Unlike poor people who sit on stools and long benches, wealthy families have to kneel down. How can his knees stand it?
Qiao Xingzhong saw Li Ye’s embarrassment, laughed and sat cross-legged, "Young Master Li just need it casually!"
Li Ye also sat down cross-legged, which was almost the same.
"That's how it is!"
Qiao Xingzhong told him the reason for playing polo, "Manager Tian Da from the Sining Prince's Mansion has returned to his hometown to retire. I am the second manager. Normally, I should be promoted to the eldest manager.
But! There is also a third supervisor in the palace, whose surname is Hu. His wife was once the princess’ personal maid. After he took the wife’s route, the princess wanted the third supervisor to be the chief supervisor.
The prince didn't want to break the rules, but he didn't want to make the princess unhappy, so he thought of a solution. The prince liked polo the most, so he asked manager Hu San and I to organize a polo team each. Ten days later, the winner was the manager, and the princess agreed.
There is a difficult point here. There are hundreds of servants in the palace. The prince means that if you choose a polo player from servants, you are not allowed to hire foreign players. Brother Li, do you understand?"
Li Ye was sad, "Uncle means that although I won just now, I still can't play this game for you?"
"No! No! Mr. Li misunderstood. I guess the prince's meaning is that he is not allowed to hire professional polo experts outside, but you are not, so there is still a glimmer of hope. I want to ask you to be the backup. Even if you don't have the chance to play, I will still give you twenty coins. If you can play, it will be fifty coins, no matter what the win or loss, what about?"
What else can I do? I still owe Qiao Bin thirty taels of silver!
Li Ye nodded, "Then we will make up for it!"
