Chapter 215: Gu Tingye and Yang Wenyuan's counterattack without martial ethics
At the polo field.
Minglan, Yu Yanran and others gathered together.
Seeing that their brothers were about to show their skills in polo, the young girls were also excited as they rarely saw such a scene. However, they were embarrassed to make loud noises in public, so they gathered together to discuss actively.
Yang Rujin was the first to speak. Her pretty face was slightly flushed with excitement as she spoke:
"Who do you think will win?"
"Of course it's my brother-in-law's team!"
Rulan naturally sided with her brother and was the first to respond:
"I heard that my brother-in-law is very good at playing polo. The young master is also from a noble family, so he must be not much different."
Rulan knew that her second brother Changbai was an average polo player, and might be better than her, so she simply skipped it.
Molan subconsciously wanted to refute, but then she realized that Qi Heng was in the same team with Yang Wenyuan, so she swallowed her words and nodded:
"It's rare for Fifth Sister to say something sensible."
"Where's Minglan?"
"I think so too." Minglan has always been one to follow the crowd.
Seeing that everyone had the same opinion, Yang Rujin couldn't help but feel a little discouraged, and asked Yu Yanran again:
"Sister Yanran, what do you think?"
Yu Yanran remembered that Gu Tingye had insisted on competing with Minglan, and considering his reputation, she nodded.
"It should be the team led by Brother Yang and the young master that won."
Seeing that she couldn't cheer him up, Yang Rujin pursed her lips helplessly.
What's so good about talking about this consensus? It would only be interesting if there was a little confrontation.
Thinking of this, Yang Rujin rolled his eyes and said with a smile:
"Since you all chose my cousin, I will choose Second Brother Gu!"
Yang Rujin continued:
"But Madam Wu always prepares some prizes for fun, why don't we add some too?"
"Okay, okay." Rulan also likes to be lively, and she nodded her head immediately.
"Then it's settled."
Yang Rujin rubbed her snow-white chin with her hand for a while, and seemed to have thought of a good idea. Her eyes lit up and she immediately suggested:
"Why don't we use ourselves as the bet?"
"Ah? By ourselves?" The girls all looked at Yang Ruijin. They didn't expect that Yang Ruijin would play such a big game!
"Oh, no no~"
Seeing that the sisters had misunderstood, Yang Rujin quickly waved her hands and explained:
"I was thinking about playing polo! I think none of us have played polo together before, so why not use this as a prize? Whoever wins can order the loser to play polo."
"No, how can this be done?"
Most of the people present know some polo skills.
Even Rulan, who was usually too lazy to move, had practiced a few times at the Yang family horse farm accompanied by Yang Ruijin and Minglan.
The only exception is Molan. She has an average relationship with the others, and has no one to accompany her. In addition, she looks down on this kind of sweaty and vulgar sport, so she has only ridden a horse a few times so far.
If you can't even ride a horse properly, how dare you play polo? That would be simply embarrassing, so you shouldn't do this.
He dissuaded:
"Polo is a sport for men. Let's just sit down and watch. How about..."
"Why don't we go get some tea?"
Molan thought this was a good idea and continued:
"Young Master and his men must have been thirsty and tired when they came off the stage. They would be very happy if they could get some tea to fill their stomachs!"
"If you don't know, then don't know. What do you mean by men's stuff?"
Rulan was originally a little worried that her skills were not good enough and she would make a fool of herself if she went on stage, but now that Molan was the first to take action, she reflexively said:
"If Fourth Sister doesn't know how, you can just go to the girls and order tea and arrange flowers yourself."
When saying this, Rulan's tone was extremely proud, but Molan's next sentence made Rulan dumbfounded.
"Thank you very much for your understanding, Fifth Sister." Molan replied immediately.
There was no man present here, or even with Qi Heng by her side, Molan didn't mind at all that Rulan had the upper hand in the words.
After saying this, Molan took the opportunity to bow slightly to Yang Ruijin and Yu Yanran, apologized, and then walked back leisurely.
"you……"
Seeing that Molan did not respond at all and instead used her words to withdraw, Rulan's eyes widened and she was dumbfounded.
"Shouldn't you be arguing with me? Why did you just run away?"
This was the first time Rulan tried to provoke someone in public, but she didn't expect Molan to respond like this. She couldn't help feeling a little frustrated.
Could it be that what I said was wrong?
Rulan's little brain was a little confused.
"That's fine." Looking at Molan's departing back, Yang Ruijin nodded indifferently.
She has always looked down on Molan's shy and pretentious behavior. I, the only legitimate daughter of the Yang family in the contemporary era, don't put on airs or pretend to be noble. Why should you, a concubine's daughter of a fifth-rank official, pretend to be so?
Did he eat too much, or did he try to be so elegant that he even fooled himself?
So Yang Ruijin looked down on Molan from the bottom of her heart.
Normally, he treated Molan equally, but it was only for the sake of Yang Wenyuan and Hualan's face, and also because of the sympathy of a superior to a inferior.
If this were the case in another place, she would definitely let Molan see what kind of majesty the daughter of a noble family has.
But it’s better to leave.
With four people left, we can definitely form a polo team.
On the polo field.
At this moment, Gu Tingye was full of pride and confidence. Especially when he was sharp-eyed, he spotted Yu Yanran watching him from the sidelines, and the heroic spirit in his heart suddenly burst out to its peak!
"Dong Huan, Yuan Ruo, since Yan Ran is here today, don't blame me for being merciless!"
Qi Heng also saw Minglan, the apple of his eye, watching from the side.
The four eyes suddenly met in the air.
Although it was fleeting, it still made Qi Heng's heart tremble. The light in his eyes suddenly rose and his spirits soared!
'Minglan, I won't lose this time!'
Seeing Gu Tingye and Qi Heng's high morale, Yang Wenyuan was pleased and nodded secretly.
That's it.
Without the collision of passion, how can there be a wonderful game and a wonderful performance?
The grandma-like walking style of play used by the men’s football team is not advisable!
Especially when he noticed that Rong Feiyan and Princess Jiacheng were also looking over here in the distance, Yang Wenyuan was even more satisfied.
Open up and fight!
In the center of the court, three people were arranged in a triangle shape on each side. Yang Wenyuan and Gu Tingye came to the front of the team, with their polo clubs pressed against the horses' bellies.
"Are you ready?" Gu Tingye asked.
Yang Wenyuan looked back, nodded to Qi Heng and Chang Bai, and replied:
"Okay, let's tee off."
"Row!"
Gu Tingye was also unambiguous.
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly lowered his body and swung the polo stick in his hand, leaving a shadow along the grass.
"Oh!"
A low, muffled collision sound was heard, and the polo ball immediately rushed quickly behind everyone.
Gu Tingye suddenly laughed out loud, and immediately galloped on his horse, passing Yang Wenyuan head-on. While Changbai and Qi Heng were still not able to react, he rushed past everyone.
"Oh my god, you are cheating!" Seeing that Gu Tingye had already passed the three of them, and they hadn't even turned their horses around, it was too late to catch up with him. Yang Wenyuan, who stayed where he was, immediately cursed at Gu Tingye's back.
Yang Wenyuan said that Gu Tingye should kick off the game, but the polo field is so big, we should at least wait until everyone is ready before we can start playing, right?
But Gu Tingye suddenly rushed over from the side, no, he squeezed over, which made Yang Wenyuan curse in his heart.
You bastard, you have absolutely no moral principles!
"Gu Tingye's team gets a point!"
As the person calling out the names on the sidelines finished speaking, a red flag was erected on the side of the polo field close to Gu Tingye.
"Haha, I asked you if you were ready, and you said you were ready."
Gu Tingye, who had easily scored the ball, rode back with a smug look on his face:
"This is called all is fair in war!"
Okay, okay, you want to play word games with me?
Yang Wenyuan didn't say much. He glared at Gu Tingye hatefully, then turned around and let Changbai kick off the game.
Just now, several people also discussed the tactics. Changbai is not good at polo, so Yang Wenyuan gave him the main task of defense. When attacking, he only needs to follow and shout from the side.
As for Qi Heng, Yang Wenyuan had already arranged for him to play the leading role.
Changbai returned to the starting point and officially teed off.
The polo ball rolled and was the first to land at Qi Heng's feet.
Seeing this, Chang Feng was the first to step forward to fight.
Qi Heng was not in a hurry to move forward. He slowly started to move forward. When Chang Feng got close, he used his stick to hit the polo ball below back to the feet of Chang Bai who had followed closely.
As soon as the polo ball was thrown, Yang Wenyuan and Qi Heng immediately rode their horses forward.
Seeing that something was not right, Gu Tingye asked He Hongwen to step forward and press the situation together with Chang Feng.
Gu Tingye knew Changbai best. His polo skills were average. When he was attacked by two people, he must have panicked and hit the ball randomly.
Because they were far away from Qi Heng, and Qi Heng had to take Chang Bai's skills into consideration, the polo ball did not fly over, but rolled on the grass for a while, and finally stopped under Chang Bai's horse.
At this time, Chang Feng had already approached on horseback, and He Hongwen was only a few steps away from the two horses.
At this moment, Changbai was remembering Yang Wenyuan's instructions just now.
"Once you get the ball, you just need to hold it forward. Yuan Ruo and I will go to their goal. When the opponent approaches, or one of us is about to surpass Gu Tingye, you just need to shoot and hit the ball to me."
The advantage of being a rookie is that he obeys orders.
Changbai remembered Yang Wenyuan's instructions at this moment.
Although Yang Wenyuan and Qi Heng had not yet surpassed Gu Tingye, seeing Chang Feng getting closer and closer, Chang Bai no longer hesitated.
He leaned forward on the horse's back, scooped the ground with the polo stick, and lifted the polo ball up.
After the polo ball leaps into the air along with the polo pole, swing the polo pole upward with your right hand, and at the same time, pull your right hand back to accumulate strength. Wait until the polo ball falls freely to the appropriate position, and then swing the polo pole upward with all your strength.
"Oh!"
After a dull thud, the polo ball flew quickly over the heads of Chang Feng and He Hongwen and headed towards the direction where Yang Wenyuan was galloping.
The moment Yang Wenyuan started, Gu Tingye guessed Yang Wenyuan's plan, especially when he saw Changbai pushing the polo ball forward slowly, and immediately rode his horse towards Yang Wenyuan.
He understands Yang Wenyuan's skills.
If the ball was stopped in the air, it would definitely be passed to Yang Wenyuan instead of Qi Heng.
Knowing Yang Wenyuan's plan, Gu Tingye immediately moved closer, trying to create chaos.
At the same time, the moment the ball was thrown, He Hongwen and Chang Feng immediately turned their horses around. He Hongwen was closer, so he ran towards Yang Wenyuan, while Chang Feng rushed towards Qi Heng who was already close to the goal.
Predicting the flight trajectory of the polo in the air, Yang Wenyuan began to slow down his horse and reached the landing point one step ahead of Gu Tingye.
As the polo ball was approaching, Gu Tingye also rode over.
As soon as he arrived, Gu Tingye immediately stretched out his polo stick to block the polo ball's predetermined trajectory, and Yang Wenyuan also pretended to fight for it.
The two polo sticks began to wrestle secretly in the air.
However, when the polo ball reached the polo pole, Yang Wenyuan quietly pushed the polo pole forward, and the polo pole slid smoothly along Gu Tingye's pole and finally stopped in the middle.
This is like hitting the snake at its most vulnerable part.
Yang Wenyuan pressed hard against the middle of the polo stick, and no matter how strong Gu Tingye was, he couldn't lift the stick.
In this way, even if he blocked the polo ball, as long as Yang Wenyuan moved the polo stick down again, the polo ball on his stick would also be caught by Yang Wenyuan.
This would probably only serve as an excuse for Yang Wenyuan.
Naturally, Gu Tingye was unwilling to surrender, so he immediately dropped the polo stick in his hand to the ground.
"If you want me to catch the ball and then take it away, then don't even bother with it! Fight for it on the ground!"
"Oh!"
Everything did not develop as Gu Tingye expected.
He was just about to lower the polo club in his hand when he saw Yang Wenyuan lightly spurring his horse past him and going ahead.
Correspondingly, the golf club in Yang Wenyuan's hand, with the front end curved like a crescent moon, circled along his polo club and successfully hooked his pole firmly like a hook, making it impossible for him to press the golf club in his hand down. He was forced to be pulled by Yang Wenyuan and could not move.
As a result, the polo ball smoothly followed the predetermined trajectory and landed steadily on Gu Tingye's polo stick.
Yang Wenyuan hooked Gu Tingye's polo stick upwards again. After a slight sound, the flying polo ball followed the arc of the top of the stick and bounced towards Yang Wenyuan.
Yang Wenyuan released his restraints on Gu Tingye in time and quickly took back the polo pole. When the polo ball fell to the ground, he leaned down and gently scooped it up, then relied on inertia to lift the polo ball onto his polo pole.
It was too late for Gu Tingye to turn his horse around, and he could only sigh as he watched Yang Wenyuan's back gradually disappear into the distance.
"Interesting! I haven't used it for such a long time, but I can still use it so smoothly."
The interest in Gu Tingye's eyes became even stronger.
Even though he had some thoughts of showing off in front of Yu Yanran at the beginning, now that he was shown off by Yang Wenyuan, the man's desire to win immediately surged up.
