After nightfall, King Shu saw a banquet that he had never heard of or seen in his life.

The banquet was held at the outer hall of Baili New Town, but not only the hall, but the entire Nanyuan around it was a banquet venue.

Because most of the military farm soldiers who traveled in Yuanzhou came to participate, Zhu Li promised Gao Yue that each farmer would give him a regular amount of money and a piece of silk to eat the Hunyang Banquet sold by Dangxiang Fan.

So during the bonfire of Nanyuan, all the lamb was roasted everywhere, and thousands of field soldiers sat on the futon mat, surrounded the wine pavilion of the inn, pulled out the sword and dagger, sang the song, and the sound shook the world.

"Your Highness Shu, Jingyuan is a remote place, where is the beautiful Sizhu Meiji from Chang'an City? I hope Shu will not be surprised at such a banquet." Zhu Li, Gao Yue, and Wei Gao apologized to Shu Wang sitting on the main seat.

"It's okay, it's okay." After all, King Shu knew that as the prince of the imperial palace, he would never show a pampering look when he came to the frontier. Instead, he praised Gao Yue's arrangements. "Today, Xiao Wang finally realized that the majestic appearance of my Tang Rongshi is incomparable to the night banquet in the house of the Ten Kings! Wang Fu, please take out the furnishings I carried with me to enhance the majesty of the Suining Prince's Banquet!"

Meng Yu did not dare to neglect, so he hurriedly ordered to take out the brocade tents, silk blankets and precious utensils in his bag to add to the glow of the banquet. King Shu quickly merged with everyone, holding a large cup to drink, cutting mutton and quash cakes with his sword, singing majestic songs, listening to the soldiers and the neighing and shouting of war horses, watching the angry clouds in the night sky with drunken eyes, excited in the roar of the wind and trembling with cold.

After a while, Gao Yue winked at Ming Huaiyi, who was standing at him.

Soon, King Shu heard a loud noise from the banquet. When he looked at it, he saw a group of Dangxiang soldiers and Han soldiers who were stationed in farms, divided into two groups, pushing and clamoring for something.

"What's the noise?" King Shu asked.

On the steps below the pavilion, Hou Lan, the garrison officer, and Ming Huaiyi, the leader of the foreign soldiers, each represented the representatives and said to King Shu: "Because Dangxiang laughed at my Tang family's soldiers who did not know how to ride, the two sides had a dispute."

Before King Shu could speak, Gao Yue pretended to be angry and said, "Dangxiang Fan'er has been shepherding sheep since she was a child. After her establishment, how can shepherd her horses be compared? You are strictly prohibited from talking about this boring thing, you can withdraw."

Who would have thought that this made King Shu more interested? The young emperor immediately rolled up his narrow sleeves, stood up from the seat, and shouted at Ming Huaiyi: "My Li Tang family comes from the Longxi archery and horse family. Who said he is not familiar with riding skills? I have heard that General Ming is brave enough to be brave tonight while the banquet is in full swing. You and I might as well set up a bargaining chip to compete for the competition!"

As soon as he heard King Shu’s bold words, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and soldiers shouted in unison, “Shu Wangwei! Shu Wangwei!”

Ming Huaiyi took two steps back and waved his hand and said, "Before King Shu comes to the town of Jingyuan, I have inquired and learned that King Shu is young and his official position is only from the first-rank Kaifu Yi and the third rank. I am the fifth-rank general granted by His Majesty. He is a fourth-level general who is higher than you. Even if you compete today, you must give it up."

Everyone laughed loudly during the meal, and King Shu also laughed and said to the people around him, "This General Ming is innocent and cute. Well, it's better than the Qibao Ball!"

"It's not allowed to do it." Meng Yu, Zhu Li, Gao Yue, Weilun and others immediately grabbed Shu Wang who was eager to try it out, and even said that playing polo here was too dangerous.

Of course, Meng Xu and Weilun were sincere, and it is hard to say the remaining few.

But the voices of the soldiers watching were rising and falling.

"Although Xiao Wang had lived in the house of the Ten Kings before, he knew that polo was not only played by us, but also became popular in the military camps in various places. He used this to practice riding skills and battle formations. Even I, a woman from Tang, could hit the ball on a donkey. How could I say it was dangerous! The land in this side is not as good as Chang'an. If Xiao Wang retreated, why should I conquer Jingyuan and gain love from the soldiers in the future?" Shu Wang obviously turned a deaf ear to Meng Yu's advice.

"If His Highness Shu wants to compete, you can choose a gentle one such as a throwing pot..."

"Hey, Emperor Taizong once said that the people of Western Fan often like to play polo, and they asked us to learn about it as well as the children of the Tang Dynasty."

Meng Yu was about to say something, but he saw Gao Yue, the magistrate of Lingtai County, get up with a touching and serious face, "Your Highness Shu, there is a polo stadium here."

"Great, can there be a moon stick and a polo head?"

"Some, some." Zhu Li also said hurriedly.

After all, there are polo outfits in Jingyuan camp.

The Nanyuan Polo Stadium of Baili New City is dozens of feet long and wide, surrounded by low gravel walls on three sides, surrounded by a field. There are many plaques outside the wall. There are no less than a thousand people around the field, and there are torches to cheer and illuminate the ground as bright as daytime.

"Shu Wangwei, Shu Wangwei!"

"Sister is so light and so close!"

Both sides shouted for their favorite side.

King Shu was so excited that he wore a dark-colored narrow coat, deer-skin boots, a tangerine-wood lining on his head, a reins in his left hand, and a crescent-shaped vine-pole stick in his right hand, and a horse straddled on the flying dragon stable. Afterwards, seven Northern Ya Six Army soldiers, the Shence Army's "polo veterans" and three officials in the royal palace were also standing upright.

Ming Huaiyi, opposite, also rode on the horse, holding a moon stick, and did what he said, letting the four kings of Shu, bringing a total of six Dangxiang riding masters standing opposite him.

Gao Yue and Wei Gao each rode a horse, wore light green robes, red lapels, and did not hold horse staff, and were referees on the court.

"Zhu Suining said, "When you are at night, you will get fifty pieces of silk, fifty hu of salt, and twenty hu of tea." Gao Yue stood in the center, stretched his hand high and shouted.

"Long live!" The audience inside and outside the venue were excited.

Zhu Li, who was watching the game in the seat, also laughed and slapped.

Meng Yu next to him frowned and shook his head worriedly.

"Take the ball!" Wei Gao threw a wooden "Seven-Battle Horse Ball" made of wood, empty inside and painted on the outside like a straight line.

The seven-Battle Horse Ball thorn slid up and rolled down again, making it look particularly eye-catching and beautiful under the flames.

"Bang!" King Shu rode his horse like lightning, danced the moon staff in his hand into an arc, and quickly hit the polo, then passed directly over the two Dangxiang people who came to intercept him, and waved another shot. The polo was knocked away again before it landed, and shot straight into Dangxiang's door.

It seems that he is indeed extremely skilled in football.

Next, there were endless calls on the entire polo field. King Shu and Ming Huaiyi and the two sides galloped their horses and fought fiercely. As the saying goes, "The stars are flying down the flower field, and Chu Yue flew to the head of a cane" - In the end, Kuangyan made the four men's Ming Huaiyi's strength not be grasped, and they were suppressed by King Shu and defeated by hatred.

"King Shu is amazing, I'm convinced."

After the game, King Shu, who was sweating profusely, smiled and stroked Ming Huaiyi's back who came to apologize, and returned to the banquet together. He was in a very happy mood. Then he shouted to the cheering soldiers below, "I don't want any reward for the Prince of Suining today, and I will divide it all!"

In the following days, the ambassador Shu Wang, who was the Minister of the Ministry of Education, would come to play polo every few days. Soon, in Jingzhou City, even Zhang Yufei, Liu Guoguang and others often came to compete with Shu Wang, and played Shu Wang with him, "I am happy but not thinking about the capital."

Meng Yu frowned and complained bitterly, and King Shu said politely: "Playing a polo means getting along with the soldiers. Wang Fu should be at ease with the pen in the yamen and do not care about Xiao Wang."
