Today is an unforgettable day for polo fans. Several large polo fields in Chang'an will hold the last day of group matches to determine the semi-finals list.
Among the most watched games, one is Gao Lishi's Tianpeng Polo Team versus the Xiaoqiwei Polo Team, competing for the first place in the group. Regardless of whether they win or lose, the two teams are ranked first and second in the first group. Just watch.
Who has a higher ranking?
However, the Knight Rider Polo Team ranked second last year and was also ranked second in the strength list, while the Tianpeng team made it into the top ten last year, but failed to make the top five. It ranked eighth in the strength list.
Of course, eighth place and second place cannot be compared, but the Tianpeng team defeated the Knight Guards three years ago, so it is difficult to predict today's outcome.
Around the stadium, 20,000 fans shouted in unison and the drums beat loudly.
In the stadium, horses were galloping and polo balls were flying like shadows. The two teams were fighting fiercely. The Knight Riders currently led 7 to 4.
Although Gao Lishi has all the power in the government and is recognized as the second most powerful person in the government, he is very concerned about face and does not allow others to fake losses to his team.
As a eunuch, Gao Lishi doesn't have many hobbies, polo is one of them. His biggest goal is to enter the ring competition and challenge last year's Tiankui Longwu Army. This is also his dream.
It would be best if he could win the first prize. Even if he could not win the first prize, he could still get the title of Tiangui, and he would be very satisfied.
After passing five levels and killing six generals, the first place in the polo league is called Tiangui. If the attack is successful and defeats last year's Tiankui Longwu army, it will be called a double champion, combining Tiankui and Tiangui.
Gao Lishi looked at the game on the court indifferently, while Prime Minister Li Linfu sat next to him.
The two of them were watching the game and chatting.
"Who is Aweng optimistic about in the second group?"
"The situation in the second group is very obvious. Fan Yang's army must be in first place. An Lushan is still somewhat capable. Qianniu Guards is a little behind. After all, they have no actual combat basis and can only be ranked second."
"What about the third group?" Li Linfu focused on the third group.
"The Hexi Army must be first, but I can't tell if it is second. We have to watch the game in the afternoon."
"It is said that the Yang family polo team is very popular for qualifying, and the gambling house has already accounted for 70% of the winning chances."
Gao Lishi sneered and said: "Yang Guozhong is too stupid. He can't even see such an obvious plan to defeat his troops. The Yang team is probably going to be in trouble this time."
"What Aweng means is that the flying shark's injury is fake?"
Gao Lishi's eyelids were slightly closed and he said calmly: "Isn't the tragic victory against the Jiannan army not obvious enough?"
At this time, on the court, the Falcon shot a long shot from a hundred paces away, but the ball did not hit the hole and bounced out. It was grabbed by the Cavalry Guards' interceptor and passed out.
Gao Lishi shook his head and said with some dissatisfaction: "This falcon still doesn't have enough firepower. It can obviously shoot the sixty-step line, but it insists on showing off its skills and shoots the hundred-step line, and the result..."
"We are both rookies, and when we shoot at the 100-step line, Fei Shark seems to be better!"
"Hmph! Not only is he stronger, he is simply too much stronger. In the first game against the Yang family, he turned the tide and made a comeback in a desperate situation. This is the first time I have seen such a young master. King Si Ning is so lucky."
Li Linfu's heart is as bright as a mirror, and Gao Lishi is extremely attracted to Fei Shark.
At this time, a eunuch came quickly and whispered a few words in Gao Lishi's ear.
Gao Lishi laughed and said, "The morning match of the third group is over. The Yang family polo team lost to the Hexi Army 3 to 8. Li Xiangguo, let's go and watch the afternoon match. It will definitely be exciting."
Li Linfu smiled and said: "If Mr. Gao is interested, a certain family will accompany you!"

Li Ye arrived at the Polo Grounds in Tai Chi Palace by carriage. This is also the venue for the polo test finals. It is said that this is also the venue for the last arena match in the Polo League.
Li Ye couldn't figure out why the match between Ningwang Polo Team and Zuojian Guards Polo Team was arranged here?
"There is no conspiracy, don't overthink it!"
Leng Yue, who was sitting next to him, explained: "All the venues were determined by drawing lots. In front of all the team leaders, the Polo Department officials drew lots. The last game of the third group was drawn here. No one was there at that time.
Do you know who will play against whom in the last match of the third group?"
"In that case, why didn't the Yang family apply for the afternoon competition?" Li Ye asked.
"It's not up to the Yang family. The three groups are scheduled to be formed by the Hexi Army. They must have a game on the last day. They chose the morning. The entire plan was reported to the emperor. The emperor had already signed and approved it, and the Polo Department did not dare to change it."
Li Ye smiled and said: "So the Yang family can only compete in the morning!"
"That's right! Yang Xuan approached the Polo Department and wanted to change it to the afternoon, but he was rejected. This is God's will!"
Speaking of this, Leng Yue looked at Li Ye and said slowly: "This is the first time in eight years that the Ningwang Polo Team is so close to qualifying. Whether they can realize God's will or not, I'm counting on you today!"
"Is there any explanation for my injury?" Li Ye suddenly asked.
Leng Yue nodded, "Hitting your arm is like hitting the prince in the face. The two people who did it have been found in Xianyang County."
Of course Li Ye would not be stupid enough to take advantage of Yang Guozhong. That would happen in Maweipo seven years later.
"So it's not God's will. It's up to me to work hard!"
Li Ye laughed, opened the door and got out of the carriage, pulled off the splints and suspenders, turned over and put on Mo Jin, held the polo club in one hand and the reins in the other, and ran towards the polo ground.
Leng Yue looked at his back and said to herself with a smile: "This brat, why do I always think he is in his twenties?"

The polo drums were beating like thunder, flags were fluttering, and excited shouts resounded throughout the venue.
This is when the fans of Ningwang team discovered that Fei Shark was on the stage, and they were so excited that they shouted and beat the gongs and drums desperately.
Yang Xuan was looking for the nine-headed bird, but did not find him on the scene. At this time, a polo player from the Ningwang team ran into the field. Yang Xuan thought it was the nine-headed bird, but when he saw clearly that the person running in turned out to be a nine-headed bird.
When the shark flew, he was immediately shocked.
Watching Fei Shark swinging the polo club in full swing, he didn't even look injured at all.
Yang Xuan's mind changed and he immediately understood that he had been deceived.
He felt panicked and glanced at his father uneasily. Unexpectedly, his father Yang Guozhong was staring at him fiercely, his eyes were as fierce as a wolf, as if to say, 'I'll deal with you when I get back!'
Yang Xuan's face turned pale in an instant. They should have made a deal with the Hexi army, but it was too late now.
Next to him, Yang Hui understood Yang Xuan's mood at this time very well. He was secretly proud. He had been removed from the team leader qualification because he lost to the King Ning Polo Team, and was demoted to a manager, responsible for logistics arrangements, and had no role in decision-making.
He did.
Now Yang Xuan also made a big mistake and was successfully deceived by Team Ning. Of course Yang Hui was gloating about his misfortune, but he still had to say a few words to comfort him hypocritically.
"Don't worry, eldest son. The Zuojian Guards Polo Team is ranked tenth in the strength list, and Prince Ning's Polo Team is ranked fifteenth. There is a huge gap between the two. No matter how powerful the conspiracy is, it cannot compare to the strength."
Yang Xuan sighed and said: "I hope so!"
In the VIP seat of the grandstand, Gao Lishi has arrived, and Li Linfu sits next to him. This makes Yang Guozhong feel very uncomfortable, but he can't help it. Although the Yang family is very favored, Yang Guozhong's current official position does not qualify him to sit next to Gao Lishi.
.
Gao Lishi looked at Li Ye who was running in, and said with a proud smile: "Li Xiangguo, I am not wrong!"
Li Linfu gave a thumbs up and praised sincerely: "Gao Weng's eyes are like a torch, nothing can be hidden from Gao Wen's eyes!"
Gao Lishi chuckled, and his eyes fell on Fei Shark again. He looked at the young man with soaring energy, and his whole body seemed to contain huge power.
Gao Lishi couldn't help but sigh softly, "It's great to be young!"
Li Linfu realized Gao Lishi's heartfelt love for this flying shark. He could not hear such comments from Gao Lishi from the equally young Falcon.
At this moment, Li Linfu finally made up his mind.
