At the Ningwangfu Polo Ground, the team members were practicing shooting. One by one, they stepped forward to shoot the ball at the 100-step line. The team leader Wang Su had a gloomy face and said nothing.
Everyone could see that he was extremely stressed, his eyes were bloodshot, and he probably didn't sleep well for several nights.
Fei Shark still did not participate in the training. The team members all knew that he was coming. He was picked up by the palace's carriage in the morning and sent back by the palace's carriage in the afternoon.
Although Fei Shark's injury was not mentioned by anyone, the news spread among the players.
While resting, the nine-headed bird sat next to the stag and asked in a low voice: "I heard you saw it?"
Buck sighed and said: "The imperial doctor is changing his medicine very carefully and tying it with a splint. There is also a medicine boy who is carefully holding Fei Shark's arm. It must be broken."
Nine-Headed Bird nodded. His arm had been broken before. He was very familiar with the scene described by Buck. Flying Shark's arm was definitely broken.

At noon, in a restaurant in Dongshi, Yang Xuan personally filled a glass of wine for Jiutouniao and said with a smile: "Those who know the current affairs are heroes. Both the Jiannan Army Polo Team and the Zuojianmen Polo Team are willing to serve the Yang family."
To pave the way, think about why? You can’t play polo all your life!”
"Train him well..."
"Gao Lian is the one to blame!"
Before Nine-Headed Bird could finish speaking, Yang Xuan interrupted him displeased, "His son does not abide by official ethics. He has been greedy for corruption as soon as he became a county captain. Even gods can't protect him."
The nine-headed bird did not dare to say anything, and Yang Xuan laughed again: "If I remember correctly, your annual income is 600 yuan!"
"Yes! I get fifty guan every month. If you add the bounty, I can get about 1,000 guan every year."
"Bounty aside, every family will have one. The reward from the Yang family will not be lower than that of King Si Ning. You are a good passer. If you are willing to join the Yang family polo team, I will give you eighty thousand dollars a month."
,How about it?"
Nine-headed Bird felt excited. Eighty guan per month would be close to a thousand guan a year. This was not counting the bounty. There was still a future. How could he not agree to such a good opportunity?
The Nine-Headed Bird quickly leaned forward and said, "I am very willing to serve the Yang family!"
A trace of pride flashed in Yang Xuan's eyes. He drank a glass of wine and asked lightly: "I heard that Flying Shark was injured?"
Jiutouniao was a little surprised. Could it be that the Yang family did not cause the flying shark's fracture?
He didn't have time to think too much and said quickly: "He is indeed injured!"
"is it serious?"
"It's broken. The imperial doctor changed his dressing today. I saw it with my own eyes. The medicine boy held his arm very carefully. The imperial doctor changed his dressing and tied a splint."
"Oh I got it."
Yang Xuan narrowed his eyes and said: "No wonder he didn't participate in the match with the Hexi Army Polo Team. We thought the Ningwang Team was preserving its strength!"
"Wang Su doesn't save his strength. He always puts out the strongest lineup. This is his consistent style."
"Flying Shark has a fracture, does Wang Su know?"
"You should know that his eyes have been bloodshot these past few days. He was probably so anxious that he couldn't sleep all night. During training this morning, he had a terrible temper and scolded everyone. We all felt that he couldn't hold it any longer.
He actually wants us to practice shooting from the 100-step line, does he think everyone is a flying shark?"
Yang Xuan nodded, "I understand. After the game ends tomorrow, I will arrange for someone to come to you and talk about the signing."
Jiu TouNiao burst into tears of gratitude and repeatedly expressed his willingness to serve the Yang family to the death, but he did not notice the cold light in the corner of Yang Xuan's eyes.

In the study room of Prince Si Ning's Mansion, Leng Yue reported to Li Linhui: "As expected by the prince, the Nine-Headed Bird just went to see Yang Xuan. Yang Xuan should have confirmed the situation of the flying shark with the Nine-Headed Bird."
"Does he know?"
"He knows. The Buck told him this morning. I asked the Buck specifically."
Li Lin sneered, "He and Gao Lian are really close friends! They both believe in the Yang family. They have suffered a big loss and haven't woken up yet. Tell him after the game tomorrow that he won't have to come the day after tomorrow."
"Your Majesty, if this happens, we will lose two people."
Li Lin pondered for a moment and said: "Go back and invite Triangle Snake back, and say that I wrongly blamed him. You asked him to come to the palace to recuperate, and I will give him an increase in salary."
"I'll leave my humble job tomorrow!"
"Also, tell Wang Su that I think it is more appropriate for the Black Panthers to be the team. The Nine-Headed Birds will not play tomorrow and will make an announcement tomorrow."
"I understand this, I will definitely not leak it in advance!"
Leng Yue bowed and left in a hurry. Li Lin sneered and said to herself: "Yang Guozhong, I'm afraid I will disappoint you tomorrow."

Yang Guozhong has been waiting for news about his eldest son Yang Xuan. He has never made up his mind whether to go to An Sishun. On the one hand, his clan sister Yang Yupei put great pressure on him. On the other hand, he is suspicious by nature. Is Fei Shark really real?
Injured, if the opponent uses a bitter trick, he will be in trouble.
Yang Guozhong was pacing back and forth in the lobby with his hands behind his hands, feeling upset for a while. At this time, Yang Xuan came back in a hurry, "Father, the child is back."
Yang Guozhong hurriedly greeted him and said, "What did the Polo Department say?"
Yang Xuan said helplessly: "The Polo Administration said that the entire competition plan has been approved by the emperor. They have no power to change it, so they can only apologize!"
Yang Guozhong wanted to reverse the order of tomorrow's game and change it to the Ning Wang team playing against the Zuojian Gate Guard team in the morning. If the Ning Wang team won in the morning, he would immediately visit An Sishun at noon.
Unexpectedly, the Polo Administration refused to change. Yang Guozhong actually knew that if the process was changed, it would definitely arouse public outrage. The emperor's approval was probably an excuse. The Polo Administration could not afford to offend other teams.
Helpless, Yang Guozhong had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, "Have you found the nine-headed bird?"
"The child has been found and the exact information has been obtained!"
Yang Xuan repeated the words of the Nine-Headed Bird to his father. Yang Guozhong paid special attention to the details. The team leader Wang Su's eyes were red and he was very anxious. This can't be faked.
It seemed that Fei Shark's arm was definitely broken, and Yang Guozhong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Yang Xuan smiled again and said: "Tomorrow the Nine-Headed Bird will take up Fei Shark's position. With the Nine-Headed Bird secretly helping him, Team Ning will not be able to win no matter what. Father, don't worry."
Yang Guozhong nodded, "That's fine, it's just a polo match. An Sishun is too greedy!"

In the afternoon, Li Ye took a carriage to Chang'anfang. Instead of taking the palace's carriage, he hired a car to go home. His home was no longer in Yonghefang.
Chang'anfang is just south of Yonghefang. Yesterday, Pei Sanniang bought a yard here with 300 guan.
Pei Sanniang learned how her son was injured from a patient's mouth. She was really worried. Although her son had strong muscles and bones, it did not mean he was invulnerable. If the other party stabbed him directly with a knife, he would be completely ruined.
She immediately decided to change her residence and moved from Yonghefang to Chang'anfang in the south.
Chang'anfang is also a slum, but it is not as famous as Yonghefang, but the level of poverty is only worse. Pei Sanniang often comes here to treat the poor, and she is very familiar with it.
Moreover, there is a small river between Chang'an Square and Yonghe Square, connected by a wooden bridge. The wall of the square collapsed more than ten years ago, and the government has never cared about it. People come and go between the two squares day and night.
There is no such thing as closing the door.
The yard Pei Sanniang bought is close to the city wall. It can be said that the city wall is part of the yard. It covers an area of one acre and has five or six rooms. The yard is very large and has a very tall pear tree.
The price of the yard is indeed very cheap, only 300 guan, which is probably the cheapest yard in Chang'an. Although Zhang Ping's family only sold it for 200 guan, his family only had three-thirds of the land.
Cunning Rabbit Three Cave, this is the reason why Pei Sanniang bought this yard. She bought it under the name of Aunt Mu. Even if someone is interested in checking, they will not know who Mu Chunshui is?
To be cautious, Pei Sanniang even dismissed Xiaocui, so that no one would know that they had moved to Chang'anfang.
Of course, except for Pei Min. In Pei Sanniang's words, Pei Min's nose is smarter than Xiao Hei's.
At dusk, Li Ye returned to his new home in Chang'anfang. This was his first time visiting his new home.
