Li Xian's heart was very confused. Although he seemed to be sitting on the third floor of the attic with a smile on his face, looking calm, in fact, his heart was already in a mess. The cause was naturally the sudden appearance of the Wu brothers. When he thought of his previous life
Li Xian's heart sank deeply because of all the tragedies in which the Wu brothers ran rampant and killed innocent people. He did not want and would never allow such tragic history to happen again.
The prosperous age of Wu Zhou? A joke, these are just fallacies made by ignorant children. As Li Xian, who has the memory of three generations, he knows very well what the so-called prosperous age of Wu Zhou is - when Wu Meiniang was the emperor, she was known as a million soldiers, but she could not be exposed to the outside world.
However, there was no victory in the war. Instead, he created a monster like Jiedushi, which laid a huge root for the Anshi Rebellion in the future. Internally, he ruled brutally, relied on nepotism, abused cruelty, and poisoned the world, not to mention the ordinary people.
There was no sense of security. Even the prime minister of the court was also in danger. The total number of people who died due to the Wu family's rebellion was as high as one million. Almost all the Li family members were slaughtered. The palace was even more chaotic and full of chaos.
, it will make people laugh for eternity. His evil deeds are not even compared to those of Zhou and Jie. It is simply ridiculous that such a virtuous person could be molded into a wise king by some people with ulterior motives in later generations!
The love between mother and son? That is a big joke with no edge. In Empress Wu's heart, except for power, she can give up everything without hesitation, such as killing her son, daughter, grandson, and wife.
When had the word "family affection" been in the hearts of other people? Even if I read through history books, I never saw that the emperor had such a vicious heart. Therefore, since his rebirth, Li Xian did not think that this old rascal was him.
In Li Xian's view, Empress Wu was the most dangerous enemy and an enemy that must be completely eliminated. Now, this enemy has indeed planned to recruit relatives for help. Li Xian cannot let her take it easy.
Once things are done, suppression is inevitable, it's just a question of how to use the means.
"Your Highness, the draw for the match has been decided. Please take a look at it."
Just when Li Xian was in a state of confusion, Gao Miao came up from the stairs with a match list in his hand, walked quietly behind Li Xian, and reported in a low voice.
"Um."
Naturally, Gaozong personally presided over the draw of the matches. After the draw was drawn, in addition to notifying the participating teams, it would only be passed on to the relatives and nobles. This was a common practice. Li Xian didn't care much and was absent-minded.
He made a sound, stretched out his hand, and took the form. He didn't even bother to take a look at it, and casually put it on the table in front of him. At this moment, a gust of wind blew by, and the form was folded.
It floated up while blowing. Li Xianjian flipped his palm quickly and grabbed the lottery form in his hand. He glanced at it unintentionally and saw a team calling themselves "The Tigers of the Feather Forest" on it. He couldn't help but feel something in his heart.
After pondering for a while, he casually gave an order: "Gao Miao, go check and see what extravagant characters there are in this 'Tiger of the Feather Forest'?"
"Yes, slave, I obey."
Although Gao Miao didn't understand why Li Xian would make such a request, he never asked any questions. He respectfully agreed and arranged for manpower to investigate without mentioning it.
"Dong dong dong..."
As soon as Gao Miao left, a drum suddenly sounded loudly on a small high platform on the west side of the polo ground. Immediately, Prince Lu Li Xian, who was wearing a purple jersey, rushed into the stadium at the lead, followed by a platoon of twelve guards of Prince Lu's palace in the same clothes.
Following closely behind in three rows, the thirteen riders circled the field like a whirlwind. The horses were extremely fast, but the formation remained unchanged. As soon as this move was revealed, it immediately won the cheers of the audience. In contrast,
The "Eagle Team" composed of left-back officers who were opponents of King Lu's Mansion seemed much more low-key. Although they also circled the field, they rode their horses slowly and in a regular manner, not as ostentatiously as King Lu's team.
, also won a lot of applause.
"Let's get started!"
Gao Zong, who was sitting high up in a four-story building on the north side, saw that the two teams had formed their formations. He enthusiastically picked up a polo on the table in front of him and threw it downstairs.
When the game kicked off, a whistle-blower rode past, stretched out the club in his hand, and used a "swallow water" to hit the ball that had not yet hit the ground to the center of the court. The two teams of knights were already on standby.
He immediately shouted and launched a charge, rushing towards the center of the field, and the game officially began.
"King Lu, mighty, King Lu, mighty..."
"Good, wonderful, His Highness Prince Lu is mighty..."
"Goal scored, beautiful!"
…
Even though Li Xian was not good at martial arts, his riding and ball skills were quite superb. In addition, the horse under his crotch was so impressive that he had already grabbed the polo that was rolling on the ground with just one charge. He picked the ball again and again.
With one bump, the polo was firmly controlled on the head of the pole, and then the horse flew past several blocks. He went to the meeting alone and broke through the formation of the "Eagle Team" with the power of a single horse.
After hitting the ball, the ball fell into the basket. This wonderful performance immediately made the audience excited, and there was a roar of applause. Even the people who were sitting neatly not far from Li Xian
Xiao Wan'er also waved her little fist excitedly and cheered for Li Xian with a red face.
Lao Liu's football skills are decent, but he just likes to show off a little too much. The court is so noisy, Li Xian is full of himself, but he can't deduce it anymore. Seeing Li Xian showing off his skills like this, he can't help but
He laughed and cursed in his stomach, but he didn't say much. He just rubbed Shangguan Wan'er's little head gently, which immediately earned Shangguan Wan'er's boss a blank look.
"Hahaha……"
Seeing Shangguan Wan'er's angry look, Li Xian couldn't help laughing loudly. He was so angry that Shangguan Wan'er made a small fist gesture at Li Xian in shame, turned around angrily, and gave Li Xian a
The back of the head.
"Wan'er, be good, come on, eat a piece of melon first to moisten your throat, and then you'll be able to cheer with energy, right?"
Li Xian had always doted on the elf-like Shangguan Wan'er. Seeing that she was unhappy, he quickly picked up a piece of watermelon from the table in front of him and coaxed her with a smile.
"I won't eat it."
The little girl pouted angrily and said she didn't want to eat it, but she still stretched out her little hand and took the melon from Li Xian's hand, biting it in small bites, making the food look very angry.
Haha, this little girl! Looking at Shangguan Wan'er's childish little face, Li Xian couldn't help but recall every moment of getting along with Shangguan Wan'er in his previous life. A burst of tenderness rolled through his heart from time to time, and his eyes gradually became blurred.
stand up.
"Your Highness, we have found out. This is the list of all contestants in the 'Tiger of the Feather Forest'."
Time passed quietly in Li Xian's trance. I don't know how long it took, but Gao Miao appeared upstairs again. Seeing that Li Xian seemed to be deep in thought, he couldn't help but hesitate a little. After being stunned for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said,
He walked slowly to Li Xian and reported in a low voice.
"Oh? Okay!"
Hearing the noise, Li Xian woke up from his fugue state, but he did not rush to get the list. Instead, he stretched out his hand to rub his aching eyes before taking the list from Gao Miao's hand.
After going through it quickly, my eyes suddenly froze, because there were four dazzling names at the end of the list - Wu Chengsi, Wu Sansi, Wu Yining, and Wu Yixi!
"What's going on with these four people?"
After all, Li Xian was not an ordinary person. Although his thoughts were chaotic, he quickly regained his composure. He pointed at the names of the four members of the Wu family and asked in a calm tone.
"Replying to Your Highness, this slave was also quite surprised when she got this list, so she sent someone to check it secretly. Only then did she know that these four people were added temporarily. It is said that they were ordered by Gao Hesheng and Eunuch Gao himself." Gao Miao was Li Xian's absolute confidant, so he knew that Li Xian wanted to deal with the disciples of the Wu family. When Li Xian asked, he hurriedly answered.
"Well, I know it, so you can go first."
Li Xian nodded, waved his hand, and said quietly.
"Yes, I will leave this slave."
Now that Li Xian had spoken, Gao Miao did not dare to say any more, so he respectfully agreed and went to the second floor to stay there without mentioning anything.
Whose words did Gao Hesheng pass on? His father? It’s unlikely. It should have been the good deed that the old thief did on her own initiative. In that case, what did the old thief want to do by acting so strangely? Is it possible? Are you planning to let Zhu Wu's disciples make a high-profile appearance? Yes, that's the only possibility! Thinking of this, Li Xian subconsciously reached out and touched the left side of his forehead. Of course, he couldn't touch the imaginary scar - Li Xian was not good at martial arts in his previous life. , but his riding and even ball skills are good, and he likes to play polo, and he plays a game every now and then. Coincidentally, most of the martial arts disciples also like this, and they often compete with the Li brothers on the court. At the beginning, the two sides competed several times, and each had a victory or defeat. As for what happened later, relying on the favor of Empress Wu, the disciples of Zhu Wu were not so disciplined on the court, and they did a lot of things secretly, even if they were as noble as Empress Wu. Li Xiandu was plotted by Zhu Wu's disciples. In the chaos, he was hit hard on the forehead by Zhu Wu's disciples, leaving a terrible scar that was about an inch long. The result of the matter? Hey, Empress Wu just dealt with Zhu Wu's disciples scolded a few words and then the matter was revealed. It was pity that Li Xian was a prince, but there was nothing he could do against Zhu Wu's disciples. Now that he thought about it, Li Xian's eyes instantly became bloodshot. A vague evil spirit quietly arose in the air.
"His Royal Highness Prince Lu wins, oh oh oh, wins, wins!"
Just when Li Xian's teeth were aching, Shangguan Wan'er beside him suddenly jumped up, waved her little hands, and shouted excitedly. The loud voice immediately woke Li Xian up from his memories, and then he realized The first game has ended. After winning, Li Xianzheng galloped around the field with a proud face, frequently waving the polo pole in his hand to greet the audience.
Hey, this guy is really stubborn! Li Xian curled his lips in disdain and looked down upon Li Xian. Just as he was about to reach out for a piece of watermelon to relieve his anger, a thought suddenly came out of his heart. , the outstretched hand suddenly froze in the air...
