36 If you don’t win, you’re not Huo Qubing
◎Huo Qubing: I won.◎
Seeing that he smiled in the same way as when he usually plotted against others, Liu Che couldn't help but feel a little sad. Ah Yan, this seedling was not straight to begin with, and now it has grown crooked!
Later, Huo Yan learned Liu Che's skill of playing the pig and eating the tiger to calculate others without any instruction. He ruthlessly slaughtered other people's wallets in the name of Liu Che, and even evolved into a little white cat with a pure appearance and a treacherous and cunning heart. Every time Liu Che saw him, he was not only sad, but also had a stomachache.
Of course, this all happened not long ago, and now Huo Yan still cherishes his old uncle very much.
After all, now that Liu Che shows up, everyone knows who is behind his toy house.
Uncle, it’s very useful.
"Uncle, I'll give you the blast furnace masonry and the harness templates you requested, and even the money I paid you for this time. I'm also going to start a bet on the Battle of Mayi, and we must win."
Huo Yan was held in Liu Che's arms, and together they watched Wei Qing in red on the polo field, who was like a flame, passing across the field. The polo ball seemed to have eyes in his hand, and it rushed into Feng Liu's eyes. He suddenly laughed softly.
A very pure look, a heart that longs for victory, a dream of being invincible.
They are all the same.
Liu Che reached out and gently stroked his shoulder-length hair. "Ayan, you will win."
Huo Yan silently rolled his eyes and said, "If you don't win, you make me pay you, and I'll eat you!"
Liu Che laughed heartily and praised, "Ayan has a really big appetite."
Huo Yan also frowned and watched the battlefield with him.
On the polo field.
With little incense left and the score tied, the ball was once again placed in the center.
This will be the final deciding game.
The blue team threw the ball first, and it had already landed in the red team's defensive zone. Unexpectedly, a rider from the red team rushed out from the side and hit the polo ball with a swing of his pole, changing its direction.
Huo Yan involuntarily straightened up and held his breath.
The young man in red deftly controlled his horse's direction, his legs tightly clamped around its belly. Like a ball of lightning and fire, he swept through the vast world of red dust and charged into the crowd surrounding him. His horse seemed to understand his thoughts, nimbly weaving between the other horses.
He spotted an opening and gently flicked the polo ball with his club, sending it careening toward him. He then raised his club high and, with all his might, slammed it toward the blue team's goal. Seeing this, the blue team's players hurriedly spurred their horses toward the goal, clubs raised high, attempting to intercept the ball, but failed.
The polo ball hit the blue team's romantic eye.
The incense just burned out and the game ended. Everyone present cheered for the game and the young man.
The young man took off his mask, and his smile remained bright and clear amid the cheers. It was none other than Wei Qing.
Huo Yan smiled and clapped, asking the manager to quickly display the posters.
Then the colorful silk on the wall near the horse farm was pulled open, and cartoon images of all the members of the red team playing polo appeared in a circle around the horse farm. The largest one in the middle was today's Wei Qing. In the painting, Wei Qing was wearing a red robe stained by sunlight, wearing black cloud-climbing boots, riding a horse and holding a pole, like a god of war, romantic and unrestrained.
Everyone exclaimed in amazement. The sunlight was made of gold powder, and judging from the touch of this large piece of paper, it was unknown how much it was worth. The painter was extremely skilled, and it would probably cost a hundred gold coins to hire him. It was truly a very generous undertaking.
Li Yannian started playing again, this time playing a lively and unrestrained tune, which made people feel that the young man was very proud.
Wei Qing couldn't help but laugh again.
[It’s this golden glitter!]
[My uncle is the best looking.]
[It’s worth the hair we lost!]
[Dongfang Shuo went crazy with all the changes.]
[Yanzi's love is the biggest, brightest and most shining!]
[I can't imagine the jealous look on Zhuzhu's face when Qubing comes out.]
[Ayan's peripherals are all about his uncle and Bingbing.]
[Love is a bit blatant.]
[Handmade SSR, hahaha!]
…
It was also the first time that Liu Che saw the large scroll that was taller than both of them. He couldn't help but grumble, "If you let me die, I will be on it!"
Huo Yan, who doted on his uncle excessively, ignored him and ran out to start arranging people to put in the gambling money from the previous period.
Some people win and some people lose.
The winners want to continue gambling, and the losers also want to continue gambling.
Therefore, the stakes this time are very high.
But the remaining two games seemed to be just like that, very stable. The dealer took more and more, and they lost a lot.
Until Huo Qubing appeared, Huo Yan not only arranged for people to sprinkle gold paper and flower petals on it, but also laid a red carpet along the way, and had Sun Wukong accompany him, and even asked Li Yannian to play the Water Dragon Song, and all the original colorful flags were immediately replaced with red flags.
The maids standing on both sides also began to come over holding signs as they had rehearsed, and the steward began to introduce them in a loud voice.
This is an even grander display than if the emperor had arrived.
Unfortunately, no matter how big the show was, it couldn't change the fact that their oldest was only thirteen years old, while their opponents were all fifteen-year-olds. No one dared to vote for them except their families.
Even if the bets that Princess Pingyang and Marquis Pingyang made for Cao Xiang were included, the odds were almost as high as one to one thousand. If they won, they would make a huge profit, but this had nothing to do with the people on the polo field.
This was the first time in Cao Xiang's life that he and his companions were the center of public attention. It was also the first time that they knew how to write about partiality. The steward introduced Huo Qubing in dozens of lines, and when it came to the others, it only took a dozen lines in total. Well, comparing yourself with others is really frustrating.
Liu Che, who was riding a white horse next to the horse farm, blushed with anger.
"Huo Xiaoyan, where are my red carpet, flower petals, and golden brocade?"
Huo Yan acted as if he didn't hear anything. He rode his pony and followed him, showing the reward to everyone.
After Liu Che threw the ball, Huo Yan shouted, "To encourage the sport of polo, the winner of this youth tournament will not only receive a thousand gold coins, but also receive lifetime access to the Toy House. The best performer will receive the honorary title of Toy House Polo Junior and related peripherals."
He winked at Huo Qubing, cheered everyone on, and then rode away with Liu Che.
The others didn't react much, but Sima Qian blushed.
Ayan is really enthusiastic.
I don’t know whether Huo Yanre was enthusiastic or not, but Liu Che was very popular after he got off the horse.
"You little bastard, where's mine?"
Huo Yan followed behind, maintaining a fake smile, "You're not a contestant, don't take up competition resources."
Liu Che was so angry that he wanted to bite his pretty face.
"Do you have any problem with me?"
Huo Yan spread his hands, "If you think so, there's nothing I can do."
Liu Che went berserk and rubbed him hard.
"When I return, you must prepare it for me!"
Huo Yan was being rubbed, but he was still smiling.
“No money!”
Wei Zifu was still a little worried, not knowing what the two of them were talking about, and was afraid that he would offend Emperor Wu of Han.
Wei Qing didn't care and laughed openly.
Suddenly, Liu Che smiled and said, "Little Ayan, if you have no money, come to Weiyang Palace to accompany me."
Huo Yan stopped smiling, completely stopped smiling.
Who wants to be confined to Weiyang Palace?
Even the dogs don't go.
He slammed the table and stood up, shouting, "Yes, uncle, how could it be possible that you don't have it! You are my dearest and most beloved uncle!"
Only then did Liu Che hum a satisfied smile.
Unexpectedly, he added, "You have to pay more. I'll give you 80%."
Liu Che's face twisted for a moment, and he smiled ferociously.
"If you don't go to Weiyang Palace today, I will take your surname!"
Huo Yan curled his lips, "Then I won't go. I'll just take your last name! I've long since stopped wanting to have the same last name as my brother, Huo."
Liu Che was completely distorted.
"Get out of here, you rebellious son!"
Huo Yan said "oh" without taking a nap. He ran into Sang Hongyang's tent with a bright smile on his face. Taking advantage of his small size, he ate and took everything.
When Sang Hongyang's father saw him, his face smiled as bright as a chrysanthemum. He wiped his sweat and coaxed him to eat snacks. The father and son were so loving and filial that Liu Che was so angry that he threw the cup and cursed at Wei Qing.
"Look at this rebellious son! He doesn't take me seriously at all! I just said a few words to him and he ran away, and even found himself another father to piss me off!"
Wei Qing laughed so hard that he fell backwards.
Wei Zifu couldn't help but cover her face and laugh.
When they laughed, Liu Che became even angrier.
"It's all because of you two spoiling him to no end!"
Wei Zifu and Wei Qing looked at each other, and a rare glimpse of speechlessness appeared on each other's faces.
You are saying that Your Majesty dotes on them less, but normally, you dote on them the most and give them everything they want. Aren't you the one who does?
Although they were secretly complaining about this, they still tried to appease Liu Che.
"Your Majesty, it's this brat's fault. I will definitely beat him up when I get back!"
Wei Qing said as sincerely as possible.
Liu Che raised his eyebrows and raised his voice.
"Why did you beat him? You just made me angry! It's just a small matter, why beat a child? Wei Qing, let me tell you, can Qubing and Ayan be beaten out? What if they get hurt?"
"I know you feel sorry for me, but you can't hit the child. Ah Yan is still young!"
Wei Qing twitched his lips and said, "If Your Majesty doesn't allow the fight, then I'll put him under house arrest!"
Liu Che then nodded slightly and reminded, "Don't lock him up for too long."
Wei Qing rubbed his face and then held back his laughter and responded to him.
Wei Zifu could no longer hold it in and turned her face away to smile. In order to prevent Liu Che from noticing, she quickly changed the subject and asked him to watch the disease-curing competition.
Although Huo Qubing was young, he was a good polo player. On the polo field, wearing a black robe and soft armor, he passed three people in a row, swung the club at the ball, and hit Fengliu's eye. He rode his horse back and forth, bright and proud like a little sun!
Liu Che and the others couldn't help but laugh.
Look, my little pride.
Huo Yan was standing under Sang Hongyang's tent, waving the small red flags he had distributed. Seeing Huo Qubing win, he jumped up excitedly, waving the flags with both hands and shouting at the top of his lungs, "Qubing is the best! Qubing is the best!"
His voice echoed in the racecourse, and the people around him were infected by his inexplicable enthusiasm and looked at him sideways.
On the polo field.
Huo Qubing scored another goal, but the opponent organized the attack more actively and changed their tactics. A rider carried the ball in front to attract Huo Qubing, while his teammates quietly outflanked from the flank.
Huo Yan stood up and looked worriedly at the surrounded Huo Qubing.
Huo Qubing blew the whistle, and without any hesitation, he swung the ball directly to Su Wu. Su Wu quickly rushed towards the goal, with Cao Xiang and others flanking him.
The enemy troops surrounding Huo Qubing hurried back to defend, quickly adjusting their formation to form a tight defensive line. The horses jostled each other, and they used their clubs to fight for control of the polo ball.
In this tense confrontation, everyone is constantly looking for opportunities to break through.
Suddenly, an opponent rider pulled the reins hard, and his horse jumped high. At the moment the horse jumped in the air, he hit the ball to the weakest point of Huo Qubing's defense.
The ball flew over Sima Qian's head and into Fengliu's eyes, and the whole audience held their breath.
The ball had a strong momentum and was carried by the wind towards Huo Qubing and the others.
Lost, Huo Yan thought.
Until a pony rushed into his sight, he saw his brother spurred the horse towards the landing point of the ball without hesitation, and blocked the ball with the club at the moment when the ball was about to hit the ground.
The polo ball bounced again and hit Fengliu in the eye.
Everyone cheered.
Huo Yan was slightly startled, his eyes fell on his trembling right hand, his eyes were slightly red, but a smile appeared on his face.
"Brother! You win!"
When the incense burns out, a whistle sounds.
The poster of Huo Qubing and his group unfolds from the top. Huo Qubing, standing in the center alongside Wei Qing, wears a high ponytail, his hair slightly curled in front of his forehead. His forehead is fair, and as he looks upward, his almond-shaped eyes are radiant. He is dressed in a dark, tight-sleeved shorts and leans against the side of his horse, looking energetic and full of vigor.
The painter was particularly fond of him, and his painting style was not freehand, but meticulous, even depicting each strand of his hair in detail. It was as if he wanted to pour out all his love to depict his proud, bright and youthful spirit at this moment.
He is as bright as the sun!
Huo Qubing smiled proudly, and amid the cheers of the crowd, he smiled at Huo Yan and pointed at himself.
“I win!”
He wants to win! If he doesn't try his best to win, he is not Huo Qubing!
