Chapter 48 Playing Polo

After playing for a while, Li Yuanai found that Li Zhi had almost eaten the crystal dragon and phoenix cake, so he specially left a piece for Xiao Yizi.

"Thank you, Brother Jiu, it's better to be Brother Jiu."

Little Yizi took the pastry and hummed Li Yuanai.

"Xiaojiu, you are really not kind."

Li Yuanai discovered that Li Zhi was honest on the surface, but dark on the inside. He always liked to borrow others to achieve his goals. The key is not to damage his reputation and stay out of the matter.

He grabbed the last little pastry like a baby and stuffed it into his mouth.

Crystal Dragon and Phoenix Cake uses glutinous rice and red dates as raw materials. According to the principle of pastry fermentation, the red dates are wrapped in the glutinous rice ball, stacked them alternately, and steamed until the glutinous rice ball cracks, like a flower-like fruit, and the red dates are exposed.

The glutinous rice and the sweetness of red dates are integrated into one, making the taste and taste particularly good.

Because there are very few seasonings in this era and they are all steamed dishes, they are not suitable for Li Yuanai's taste. On the contrary, various pasta and pastries are genuine and very suitable for their appetite.

Li Yuanai ate with relish and said, "Just to protect her skills, she has to go to the palace more in the future."

Ji Sheng smiled and looked at the three people who were eating with relish and said, "Your Majesty is busy with affairs, and Your Highness King Jin has no playmates. If the King of Shang has free time, he will go to the palace to accompany the two of His Highnesses. This is the only skill he has, and it would be great if the King of Shang doesn't dislike him."

"Don't dislike it, don't dislike it!"

The three of them had lunch, rested for a while, and started the afternoon class again.

Li Yuanai liked the afternoon class very much, and it was the Li family’s ancestral skills of riding and shooting.

Especially after the last attack, Li Yuanai realized the importance of riding and shooting.

If I had reacted quickly enough at that time and rode my horse to avoid it, maybe so many guards would not have been damaged.

If my riding and shooting was as powerful as Li Shimin's early years, why should I be afraid of those sluts?

Therefore, I learned that Li Zhi was learning riding and archery in the afternoon, and he was particularly enthusiastic.

The three of them came to the martial arts performance venue in the backyard together.

The teacher responsible for Li Zhi's cavalry and shooting is called Tong Jian. It seems to be unknown, but he is an old soldier of the Xuanjia Army. He has followed Li Shimin to fight on the battlefield for thirteen years and has experienced many fierce battles. His archery and horse skills are outstanding.

Li Zhi practiced bows and arrows since childhood and had a solid basic skills, while Li Yuanai's riding skills were still good, but he did not even reach the entry level of archery skills.

Tong Jian asked Li Zhi to practice by himself first and began to teach Li Yuanai the introductory skills of bows and arrows.

As for Xiao Yizi riding a small Shu horse in Bashu, she was playing happily.

The Shu horse is a mountain horse, mainly load-weight, so it is short, gentle and steady, and is most suitable for the female family in the palace to ride.

Li Yuanai listened seriously, had excellent eyesight, insight and judgment. He quickly mastered the basic shooting, but the lack of it was his penis.

Li Yuanai's body was hollowed out by the wine and sex, and his strength was very flawed.

After practicing for a while, Li Yuanai stopped to rest due to insufficient arm strength.

Tong Jian also went to give advice to Li Zhi.

Li Zhi had already started riding and shooting training, but he saw him galloping on the horse's back with a bow and archery. His sharp arrows shot towards the targets fifty steps away, with few off-targets and a certain level.

Li Yuanai was a little envious of her.

Li Zhi was also quite proud. As a Li family, how could he lose his skills in riding and shooting?

Li Yuanai couldn't stand the arrogant look of the little brat and turned to Xiao Yizi.

At some point, Xiao Yizi had too many polo sticks on her hands, and she started playing polo with her own entertainment.

Li Yuanai was very entertained and rode over to the horse. He picked up a poke stick on the shelf next to him and said, "Let's play together, little squirt."

Little Shizi was bored at first, but she was unwilling to disturb her brothers' homework. At this moment, she heard her brother Ai coming to accompany her, holding up the polo stick and shouting happily, and daring the polo to Li Yuan'ai.

Li Yuanai was determined to show off his operations, and put on a handsome pose. With a sudden swing of the polo, the polo flew out with a "huh".

Then he drew a slightly arc in the air and drilled into the goal hole thirty steps away.

Little Shizi looked at the goal blankly, suddenly burst into an exclaim, saying, "Brother Ai, Brother Ai..." She clapped hard, and her little hands slapped red, just like a little fan girl who met her idol in later generations.

Li Zhi also looked amazed, but soon hummed in discontent.

Tong Jian looked even more surprised.

There are many statements about the origin of polo. There were records of polo in the Han Dynasty, but it was not popular at that time and was not valued.

Until the Tang Dynasty, the sea embraced all rivers and more perfect polo rules and techniques were introduced from Tubo to the Tang Dynasty.

The people of the Tang Dynasty were strong and everyone was martial. They flocked to polo, which was extremely confrontational, and became popular.

It not only became a sports exercise for the emperors and aristocratic classes to exercise and strengthen their bodies, but also played an important role in foreign cultural exchanges. According to literature records, the adjacent Bohai, Goryeo, Fusang and other countries at that time had descriptions of polo competitions with the Tang Dynasty. Later, the Palace Museum's "Pinqiao Alliance Picture" also specifically depicts the scene of the Tang and Turkic countries playing polo competitions.

Tong Jian is also a good player. Li Yuanai is not as good as many years' level.

In his memory, only Qin Qiong, the most powerful general in the Tang Dynasty, could swing such a exquisite arc ball, and only a good player who controls his strength to the extreme can do it.

Even Yuchi Jingde is much inferior in this regard.

Could it be that this Shang King is hidden?

Not like it!

Li Yuanai didn't understand the rules of polo at all, but she had a lot of fun with Xiao Yizi.

He has a unique advantage in micro-jobs, and his only flaw is that he has riding a little more.

It was so bad that even Tong Jian couldn't stand it. It was really useless to have this ball skill. When Li Zhi was resting, he came here to give Li Yuanai a riding skills and his skills in controlling horses.

Li Zhi was also a young man. Seeing that Li Yuanai and Xiao Yizi had a lot of fun, he also joined in.

Until dusk, Li Shimin was still handling affairs and established a political hall in the future.

Li Yuanai asked Li Zhi to help him convey the news of his recovery to Li Shimin, bid farewell to the tear-eyed little rhino, and left the palace.

Join Luotong outside the palace and return to Da'an Palace.

On the way, Li Yuanai suddenly remembered the mysterious person who saved him that day and asked Luo Tong: "I remember there was someone who rescued him that day. Do you know who he is?"

Luo Tong was arrogant and arrogant. They touched the weapon that day. It was obvious that he suffered a secret loss and kept it in mind. He shook his head and said, "I don't know, I don't know. I should have encountered your highness's frightened horse, so I came over to see the situation. He snatched your highness's horse and will definitely return it next time he meets it."

Li Yuanai smiled and said, "It's okay, he helped us a lot, just say he gave him away. But..." He paused and said, "I'm too far away and look down on him. I'm afraid I won't recognize him even if I encounter it."

Luo Tong replied: "He looks strange and looks a bit like a monkey."
