Spring and Autumn I Am King

Remember [ ] in a second to provide you with wonderful novel reading.

"Prince, listen!"

There was still a long way to go, and Zhai Li, the envoy of Zhongshan who was stationed in Zhao State, said excitedly to Prince Xian Yuyan, "Listen to this voice."

Xian Yuyan was the eldest son of the monarch of Zhongshan. As a descendant of Bai Di, he was tall and handsome. Because the Zhongshan Kingdom is now following the Zhao Kingdom and is fully Huaxia, it has already changed the robes of the Di people. The clothing is right-handed, dark clothes with wide sleeves, jade on the waist, swords hanging, a pair of Xia gentlemen. .

This is just a wild field on the outskirts of Yecheng, but the crowd is still surging, shoulder to shoulder, these Yecheng people flock to one place, that is, the building in front of it.

Xian Yuyan came to Yecheng for the first time. He rode his horse and tried to get closer to Zhai Li, and asked softly, "Doctor, what are you doing?"

Zhai Li smiled mysteriously: "I'll find out when I go over and take a look."

The two of them rode their horses forward under the guidance of Zhi Jinwu. During the period, Xian Yuyan carefully distinguished them. At the end of the crowd, there were violent roars, the screams of horses, and...

"It's cheers!" They finally squeezed out of the crowd and entered the closely guarded perimeter of the Zhao army. In front of them was a row of brightly colored tents, with guards and attendants taking care of the horses. When they passed through the row of tents, they saw a circle of short walls, and most people stopped there.

The two dismounted and entered the wall, but they saw a wide open space, more than a thousand paces in size, surrounded by low walls and wooden stands on three sides. The audience sitting on the stands were all nobles from Ye City. There are hundreds or thousands of people. At this moment, the field is dusty, and a game has just ended. After everyone applauds, there is a lot of discussion, and they reminisce about the excitement just now.

"Prince, this is the juju field, and the people sitting in the center are Zhao Hou and his wives."

Xian Yuyan looked around, but saw a monarch wearing a uniform with narrow sleeves, surrounded by the stars of the Zhao State's meritorious nobles and envoys from various countries in the best position of the stand.

"This is the uncle of the Central Plains, the Zhao Hou who made Zhongshan Kingdom bow his head and call himself a vassal?" Looking at the blurred figure, Xian Yuyan felt an inexplicable fear, but this time Zhao Hou did not kill the Quartet with an axe and a tomahawk, but Chatting and laughing with several noble ladies around him, they were the wives of Zhao Hou. I heard that all of them were beautiful, but it was a pity that they were too far away, and Xian Yuyan had no chance to see the beauty.

What's more, he came here today to see another beautiful woman.

Although Zhongshan is a small barbarian state, it is also ranked among the princes. The Prince of Zhongshan is a respectable guest. Under the guidance of Yousi, Xian Yuyan and Zhai Li were directed to a good location, only a short distance from Zhao Hou. There is still a long distance to the throne, after Qin, Song and other countries. This distance also means that Zhongshan is in an embarrassing position that is neither high nor low in the new Chinese order led by Zhao State, which is what Zhongshan State wants to change by asking the prince to come to Yecheng.

On the table in the stand, there are already food such as almond cheese, jujube noodle cake, and carved chicken with patterns and patterns made by the chef of Changle Palace. The taste is so good that Prince Zhongshan can't speak. It is modeled after Zhao Guo's customs, but the eating habits and so on cannot be changed overnight.

After sitting down, Zhai Li gave Xian Yuyan, who was new to the scene, still confused, and popularized the meaning of "juju".

"This Juju is the most popular game in Yecheng in recent years..." Zhai Li said with a smile: "It is also commonly known as polo..."

...

Playing polo can be regarded as Zhao Guoxungui's favorite sport. The reason why it was created and popular in advance is due to Zhao Wuxi's vigorous advocacy.

In order to prevent the second generation of military aristocrats from becoming unfamiliar with the skills of their ancestors, Zhao Wuxi not only set up ranches in various places to raise horses, but also tried to promote polo.

During the war, the treasury was short of money, so Zhao Wuxi could only discuss with the Yulin guards in the palace, and the intensity was not high.

It was not until after the defeat of Qi last year that in order to celebrate the victory, Zhao Wuxi opened up a very large juju field on the outskirts of Yecheng. After the Huangchi meeting, four polo teams were specially formed: Daijun Riders, Shangjun Riders, Yecheng Children Riders, and Yulin Riders. Every festival, the four teams take turns to compete.

This kind of intense and explosive movement suddenly detonated the entire Ye City, and the nobles all followed it, and it was beautiful to gallop on horseback. The court has also greatly enjoyed the style of riding a horse alone. Except for major events, driving is still used. In general, riding alone is used. Even high-ranking officials such as Xiangbang also travel on horseback, and even women riding on horses is no longer taboo.

So far, horseback riding and polo have become symbols of the upper-class aristocracy in Zhao State. They are games to show off their riding skills and exercise their martial spirit. They are also a way to become famous among the meritorious children.

And every big game, the batting field will be packed like it is today.

The battle just now was just a snack before the dinner. At this moment, with Zhao Hou nodding, drums were suddenly beating in the field. Accompanied by the sound of the drums, the five-member polo team composed of Yulin guards rode from the entrance. run out.

The horses participating in the polo competition are all well-trained horses, and these Yulin guards are all black horses. They wear hats with hats, narrow-sleeved black robes, white belts around their waists, and black riding boots.

Looking at the outfits of those racers, Xian Yuyan had mixed feelings in his heart. Zhongshan State was vigorously abolishing Di Fu and imitating Chinese clothes. However, in Zhao State, on formal occasions, nobles still wore dark clothes and wide sleeves. However, on weekdays, However, his clothing tends to be closer to Bei Di: more convenient narrow sleeves are quietly fashionable, in order to facilitate riding, trousers and boots have become the common attire of Zhao people. Hard to tell clearly.

But one thing is constant, all clothing is right.

Just when Xian Yuyan was distracted, the five riders had circled around the arena, enjoying the applause of the nobles of Zhao State. Zhai Li, who was next to him, introduced to him that because he practiced with Zhao Wuxi early in the palace, the polo team composed of Yulin guards was often invincible and often the best.

However, today there is a new team that has just been established and wants to challenge Yulin...

Accompanied by louder cheers than before, the second polo team appeared...

The dust was flying at the entrance, and what caught Xian Yuyan's eyes were all-colored five-colored horses and dancing golden furs.

Compared to the chill and monotony of Yu Linqi just now, this team is simply gorgeous. The horse's face is covered with an elaborate bridle, either gold and yellow, or silver and white, the sun is shining, and the horse's mane is decorated with red or green, colorful...

As for the rider on the horse, Xian Yuyan was even more surprised.

Although the dress is no different from that of men, he wears a brocade jacket with narrow sleeves, breeches for easy exercise, a soft towel on his head, and black boots on his feet. However, even if Xian Yu's eyes are clumsy, he can still see that the one on the saddle is a willow waist of the same color, and the four of them have fair skin above their necks, with crooked heads and crooked eyebrows...

"This is... a woman!?" Xian Yuyan turned his head to look at Zhai Li, feeling unbelievable. In Zhongshan, the customs are open, and it is common for women to lead the house. However, he heard that the ritual system of the Central Plains is different from that of Beidi, and it is more strict with women. Strict, but what he saw and heard today was completely different from what he heard!

Is it false etiquette that Zhongshan State has followed?

However, Zhai Li was not surprised. He stroked his beard and said, "In Zhao Kingdom, it is common for women from noble families to travel on horses, or to strike a ball."

"Besides, this is the reason why Zhao Hou and his wife also came to the juju field to hold a ball game at this time."

"I'm coming!"

Right at this moment, the cheers in the arena grew a little louder, making people's eardrums tremble.

Xian Yuyan looked at the surrounding disciples of the Zhao State who suddenly cheered like crazy~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Young Master Qin who was sitting in front of him stood up even more excitedly.

He didn't know why, but Zhai Li said loudly in his ear: "Prince, look at the field, look at the field!"

Xian Yuyan quickly fixed his eyes, but saw a white horse slowly walking out from the entrance.

The white horse is like snow, and on the saddle, a tall girl enters everyone's field of vision. The splendid robe with tight and narrow sleeves sets off her exquisite curves. Behind her is a purple mink fur cloak. The leather crown is tied, and it looks very capable. She was so far apart that she couldn't see her face clearly, but the long legs on the horse were stepping on the stirrups, and the movements were powerful, showing vigor.

In the cheers of the crowd, Xian Yuyan could only ask loudly, "Who is this?"

Infected by this atmosphere, Zhai Li was also a little excited. He pointed to the girl rider and said, "This is the younger sister of Zhao Hou, the daughter of Zhao Guogong, who is called the good master! The good master can draw bows and arrows, so that he can move horses and strikes. Today The matter is that Zhao Hou organized an exception in order to celebrate the good master and the scorpion!"
