In this polo match, a total of fifty-eight teams from various vassal states and local chieftains participated.

After the early competition, only eight teams are left to win. Today's competition is actually the top eight event.

As the host, Ming Dynasty has the right to directly advance to the top eight, so today will be the first time to participate in the battle.

To the north of the imperial garden, on top of the viewing tower, the emperor's throne has been set up.

It is worth noting that there is a phoenix throne next to the throne today, and obviously the queen will be present today.

There are stands on the east and west sides of the imperial garden. Envoys from various countries and senior officials of the imperial court have arrived one after another and taken their seats.

Several polo teams participating in the competition were also led into the stadium by guards and were placed in different positions to wait.

The team led by Zhu Jinghong is located on the east side and north.

The cold wind is biting and snowflakes are already falling in the sky. It is actually more comfortable to move at this time.

After everyone arrived, they waited for nearly twenty minutes before the emperor's guard of honor appeared in the imperial garden.

Everyone at the scene knelt down to welcome the arrival of Zhu Xianming and his wife.

Zhu Yunsheng and several attendants were also following the honor guard at this moment, and finally boarded the viewing tower together.

"Bring two more hand stoves to the queen, and put the screen closer. Today is a north wind... put two more on the north side!"

Zhu Xianming gave very detailed instructions, which shows how much he cares for his wife. In the eyes of Baochai and others, this is no longer strange.

Only the newly arrived Xiangyun was greatly affected by this incident.

She could never imagine that His Majesty, the Supreme Emperor, could be so considerate in private.

After the queen was settled, Zhu Xianming flicked his sleeves and ordered Cheng Ying who was standing aside: "Let them be free from courtesy and live alone!"

"Yes!"

As Cheng Ying conveyed the holy order, everyone at the scene stood up to express gratitude.

The official came out to speak, read out the rules of today's competition, and organized each team to draw lots to prepare for the competition.

"Master Thirteen, the first game... let's face North Korea!"

"North Korea?" Zhu Jinghong was particularly surprised.

North Korea was included in the top eight teams, which really surprised him. After all, this country's strength was average.

"You guys will come up later and try their weight!"

Only ten people were required to play, and their team had twenty people, so Zhu Jinghong made himself a substitute.

The draw ended soon and the polo match officially began.

The first game was between Junggar and South Vietnam. The galloping horses created a lively atmosphere at the scene and shouts came and went.

On the top of the observation tower, Zhu Xianming was talking to the queen and did not pay too much attention to the situation below.

Zhu Yunsheng and the others were standing at the railing, looking down at the situation below with great interest.

"Oops... that's almost it. Why are the South Vietnamese people such trash!" Zhu Yunsheng couldn't help but complain.

"Princess... the Junggar people grew up on horseback, so it's normal for the South Vietnamese people to be a little different!"

This is Xiangyun's analysis. After more than a day of getting along, he and Zhu Yunsheng have become familiar with each other.

"At any rate, we are in the top eight, but the gap is too big!"

After Zhu Yunsheng said this, he heard shouts of exclamation from below. It turned out that the Dzungars scored another goal.

At this moment, Baochai couldn't help but exclaimed: "These Junggar people are really capable!"

At this time, Yang Jingting also said: "I think they are here to be first!"

Looking at his cousin, Zhu Yunsheng said bluntly: "First? With Thirteenth Brother here, how can they get first?"

Obviously, in Zhu Yunsheng's mind, as long as his thirteenth brother is around, he will be invincible.

"The princess is absolutely right. With the Thirteenth Master here...it doesn't matter what Junggar is, it's just a matter of throwing away the armor!" Zhen Qin quickly helped, and firmly established herself as the princess's top dog.

But Baochai didn't say anything. After all, her relationship with Zhu Jinghong was "ambiguous", so it was better not to talk about this topic.

While the girls were talking, the first polo match ended, and Junggar defeated South Vietnam with a score of five to one.

The second and third games followed, and half an hour later the winners were decided, namely the Jurchen Yehe tribe and the Mongolian Sunit tribe.

In the fourth game between the Ming Dynasty and North Korea, there was no doubt that North Korea lost.

Immediately afterwards came the second round of drawing lots, and the result was that Yehe's tribe faced Junggar, and Sunit's tribe faced Ming.

To be honest, Ye He's tribe is really strong, and they did not fall behind at all against the Junggars. They showed their extremely high equestrian skills in the sudden impact.

In the last two quarters of an hour, Ye Hebei lost to Junggar 4 to 5. After the game, both sides felt sympathetic towards each other.

Immediately afterwards, the competition between Daming and Sunite began, but Zhu Jinghong still did not choose to play because he thought others could do it.

But in this game, the two sides fought hard to separate each other. Fortunately, in the end, Daming won 2-1.

Among the Junggar team, Qiqige stood beside Xurigan and said happily: "Brother Xurigan, we are finally going to face Mingting. You must teach them a lesson and regain face for my brother!"<

/p>

"I will do my best!" Xuri Qian looked calm, obviously not underestimating the enemy at all.

The Sunit tribe is very strong, but such a tribe was defeated by the Ming court, which shows the high level of the Ming Dynasty.

The most important thing is that the Thirteenth Master hasn't come on stage yet, which makes Xuri Qian even more worried.

Of course, Xuriqian made the same choice as Zhu Jinghong, and he didn't play in the previous two games.

At this moment, someone from the Junggar team came up and spread the word: "Qi Qiqi, the princess sent someone over and said that she wanted to call you over to talk!"

These words aroused everyone's doubts, secretly thinking that Qiqige had been sent out of the palace, why did the princess still call her there?

Contrary to everyone's doubts, his character is very willing to go.

Because she really wanted to see how the princess would look when Ming was defeated.

"I'll be there right away!"

Since it is about to be a decisive battle, the intermission will be longer.

When Qiqiqi passed numerous inspections and was taken to the viewing tower by the guards, there were still a few minutes before the start of the game.

Although he was unruly and unruly, when he appeared in front of Zhu Yunsheng, he still paid homage according to the etiquette.

"See Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

"Get up!"

Seeing Qi Qige standing up, Zhu Yunsheng tightened his cloak and asked, "How have you been during the past few days since you left the palace?"

Compared with the palace, Qiqige's quality of life has definitely declined, but she prefers the freedom outside the palace.

Qiqige replied: "Thank you very much for your concern, princess. My little girl is living well outside. I also hope that you, princess, will have a happy life!"

Seeing that her expression didn't look like she was lying, Zhu Yunsheng knew that what she said was true.

"I really envy you!"

Qiqige replied: "The princess is well-dressed and well-fed, so why should she envy me?"

Zhu Yunsheng just smiled and did not say more on this topic.

"Come here and see clearly!"

Zhu Yunsheng waved, and without any hesitation, he came to the railing of the viewing tower, where the view was really wide and unobstructed.

"Qiqi Qiqi, in a moment it will be my Ming Dynasty versus your Junggar. Who do you think will win?" Zhu Yunsheng asked calmly.

"Of course..."

After only saying three words, Qi Qige swallowed the words back, just because he wanted to save some face for Da Ming, so he couldn't kill the words first.

So she changed her tone and said with great certainty: "We are determined to win!"

"Really? But I think... you can't win!"

As a princess of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yunsheng certainly did not have to give face to Junggar, so she spoke very directly.

"Princess, my eldest brother Xurigan hasn't come on stage yet, but he is our number one warrior in Junggar. With him on the stage, we will only win faster!" She was full of pride.

Zhu Yunsheng turned around, his smile gradually disappeared and said: "What a coincidence, my thirteenth brother didn't play just now..."
Chapter completed!
