The highly anticipated four-four matchup chart has finally been released. Qianqi Camp team vs. Liang Wang Wuzheng team, and the inner guard team vs. Taipingfu team. For a time, men, women, young and old in Luoyang City were discussing the upcoming four-four matches. Various analyses and speculations were prevalent in the market, and the weaknesses and advantages of each team were clearly analyzed by folk polo fans.

The Qianqi Camp team is recognized as the strongest team. They have strong overall strength. The main player Dou Xianyun is even known as the number one polo master in the Tang Dynasty. He is also experienced, has stable performance, and has strong strength to win the championship.

Taiping Mansion is ranked second. This team has several top polo experts in the Tang Dynasty, such as the prince consort Yang Shenjiao, nicknamed "King Kong, Wang Dali, nicknamed "Long Kuishou, Zheng Tai, etc.

Secondly, this team has rich experience in the game, and Princess Taiping has devoted herself to the team at all costs. After winning every game, the polo players can receive huge rewards, which makes them highly motivated during the game and can fully display their strength.

If anyone can win the championship from the Qianqi Camp team, it must be the Taipingfu team, which is also recognized by polo fans.

The third place is the Liang Wang Wu General Team. Last year's Polo Competition, Liang Wang Wu General Team lost to Qianqi Camp team and failed to enter the finals. They ranked fourth in the end, but Xue Huaiyi's monk team ranked fifth last year, and Xue Huaiyi's polo team was annexed by Wu Sansi. Last year's fourth and fifth were combined into one, with top experts such as Wu Chonglie, Wu Yanxiu, and Helanshen. Think about it, their strength is terrible. It is precisely for this reason that Liang Wang Wu General Team was listed as one of the favorite teams to win the championship.

The inner guards among the four teams are the most mysterious. They were only a few months old and they broke through the pass and entered the top four. Although there was a lucky component, they defeated the third-place Ganzhou team last year and entered the top four, which also shows that they have a certain strength.

The biggest highlight of the inner guard team is that Li Zhen, the No. 1 pick in this year's Martial Arts and Casual Shooting Championship, defeated Dou Xianyun in the Horse and Casual Shooting Championship. Some fans have counted their four goals in this competition, of which Li Zhen won more than half.

But except for Li Zhen, the other polo players were not favored. Chang Kuan and Sun Zhi were reserve rookies of the Yulin Army and Qianniu Guard respectively. Although Li Linfu was a royal family, he was not famous in the royal family. Jiu Zhi and Yao Xi were from Shazhou, but they could not even choose Shazhou polo teams, which belonged to the weak brigade. Although Zhang Li was the main player of the Shazhou polo team last year, he was injured and could no longer participate in the competition.

As for Xiao Ye, Zhang Ran, Zhong Shuner and others, they are just ordinary inner guard soldiers, with mediocre skills and no excellence.

Judging from the overall strength, the senior polo fans in Luoyang are indeed not optimistic about the inner guard. They lack experience and do not cooperate well enough. Even if they have a certain strength, they can only be considered a second-rate team at best, and even worse than the Ganzhou team they defeated.

It is precisely because the inner guard team is not favored that most polo fans believe that the final of this year will be held between Qianqi Camp and Taipingfu, just like last year.

At night, torches were raised on the polo court in Taiping Mansion, and the horses were galloping, and the sound of a ball stick hitting the ball was constantly heard. More than a dozen polo players were training to shoot at night. Although the game was not held at night, shooting at night was of great benefit to improving the polo players' eyesight. Many top polo players trained at night.

Princess Taiping sat in the high stands and looked at the training of the polo player from afar. It was March and the weather was no longer cold, but tonight the sky drizzled drizzle drizzle made the night feel a little cooler. Princess Taiping was wrapped in a white fox cloak, and a maid squatted behind her to hold up a Jinluo umbrella.

"Madam, it's cold at night, go back to the house."

He spoke with Gao Jian. He stood behind Princess Taiping and accompanied her. Gao Jian ranked third in the imperial examination this year. He hoped to be awarded the magistrate of the foreign county like Cao Wen, but Princess Taiping refused to let him leave Beijing and instead appointed him as the chief clerk of the prince Zhan. This is also a free position, with the purpose of giving him time to be with him.

Although Princess Taiping was addicted to Zhang Changzong and neglected Gao Jian, Gao Jian was still very important to her. She was her confidant military advisor and gave her advice. Although Gao Jian also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of passing the imperial examination to get rid of the ambiguous relationship with Princess Taiping, he could not lose this backing backer, so although he was very dissatisfied with his current official position, he could not do anything about it.

Princess Taiping didn't mean to go back to the room. She asked lightly: "Do you think that woman will be in the inner and outer offices now?"

One sentence revealed her inner thoughts. This game is no longer a simple polo game, but a contest between her and Shangguan Wan'er. Since God has let her team be separated from Shangguan Wan'er's team, since I hope she can use this game to teach her a lesson 丨Shangguan Wan'er's arrogance.

At least Princess Taiping has such an idea, so she attaches great importance to this game and is bound to win this game. Gao Jian is certainly aware of Princess Taiping's thoughts. He bowed slightly and said, "As far as I know, establishing an inner guard polo team is the meaning of the emperor. The emperor hopes that Shangguan Wan'er——"

"Don't mention the name of that woman in front of me." Princess Taiping interrupted Gao Jian's words unhappily.

"It's a humble position to know the mistake." Gao Jian hurriedly bowed and admitted his mistake.

"Continue talking"

Gao Jian said slowly again: "However, she set up a polo team, which is actually a hint from the emperor that the woman can open a house independently. However, judging from her name to the inner guard polo team, she has politely rejected the emperor's suggestion, so she will not show that she cares too much about this team, and she should not be in the inner guard outside the office."

Princess Taiping looked back at Gao Jian and said dissatisfiedly: "What you mean is that even if you defeat this team, it will have no meaning to her. Is that true?"

Gao Jian sighed in his heart. Princess Taiping's grudge against Shangguan Wan'er was too deep, and she was thinking about suppressing the other party all the time.

She clearly stated it very clearly that the emperor planned to let Shangguan Wan'er open a house, but she turned a blind eye to such an important message and was still concerned about the victory or defeat of polo. It seemed that she had really been blinded by hatred, which would put her in a situation where she was not worth the loss.

But Gao Jian also knew that unless Princess Taiping gained power from the emperor, her resentment towards Shangguan Wan'er would only deepen. But if he did not persuade Princess Taiping, who could persuade her?

Gao Jian lowered his eyes and said, "That woman should be busy with the government now and has no time to care about polo."

Princess Taiping suddenly stood up, and the maid who was squatting behind her and holding an umbrella was caught off guard. She was knocked down by Princess Taiping's body and rolled down the wooden ladder. Princess Taiping understood another meaning of Gao Jian. The woman was busy with government affairs and playing with power, while she, Li Lingyue, could only sit here and care about the polo game. This was undoubtedly ridiculing her to do nothing and hurt Princess Taiping's sensitive self-esteem.

She glared at Gao Jian and said, "You are too presumptuous."

"It's not that he is arrogant, but that His Highness the Princess is too concerned about polo."

Princess Taiping was furious and waved her hand heavily, slapped Gao Jian in the face, "Get out of here."

Gao Jian looked at her resentfully, turned around and hurried away, leaving the princess's mansion without looking back, and went back to the East Palace office directly.

Princess Taiping was so angry that her whole body was trembling, and her chest was fluctuating violently. At this time, Zhang Changzong heard Princess Taiping's roar, and rushed over and immediately bowed and smiled, "Why is Your Highness the Princess angry?"

Zhang Changzong's bright smile like a lotus slightly soothes the anger in Princess Taiping's heart. She snorted heavily and asked, "How confident are you to defeat the inner guard the day after tomorrow?"

"Reporting to His Highness the Princess, with the strength of our team, it should be no big problem to defeat the Inner Guard Polo team, but in order to be foolproof, I suggest we should take action."

“Have some action taken?”

Princess Taiping sneered: "Is it worth spending time dealing with such a weak brigade?"

Zhang Changzong chuckled softly: "If you don't beat them, how can you vent the princess's hatred?"

Princess Taiping slowly clenched her silver teeth. Liulang was right. If she didn't beat Shangguan Wan'er's team, how could she vent her hatred.

"What do you think?"

Zhang Changzong bent down and whispered to her a few words. Princess Taiping immediately shook her head and said, "The political consequences of not taking action are too serious. I can't afford it. I can't use this method."

Zhang Changzong's eyes turned, "Then... Beizhi has another idea."

Zhang Changzong said a few more words, but Princess Taiping still didn't agree with it. This was clearly a bad idea and could not be put forward at all. She was a dignified princess, and doing so would be a shame for her.

But she didn't want to repeatedly scatter Zhang Changzong's interest, so she had to force herself to nod, "This plan is acceptable, just do your best to train, I'll arrange someone else.

The semi-finals are not as tight as before, and are held on the third day after the draw, giving the four teams enough rest time.

Since the inner and outer guards and the outer office covers only eight acres and there is no training ground in the mansion, Li Zhen and his teammates can only go to a polo stadium near Gong'anfang for training. In order to protect the polo team, Li Zhen transferred another hundred inner guards to patrol the stadium, and did not allow idle people to approach the stadium to prevent anyone from plotting against the team.

The food required by the team and the inner guards were also ordered from the big restaurants, and they were sent directly to the training grounds and were distributed to the players for dinner after inspection.

At noon, the inner guard polo team and the usual training, today is their last day of training, and tomorrow morning they will compete with the Taipingfu team at the Right Guard Stadium.

During these three days, they concentrated on training their cooperation with each other, including the meaning of some special gestures. Only through a lot of high-intensity training can they gradually make up for their weakness of insufficient cooperation.

Li Zhen and his teammates were very clear that the analysis was not wrong. Their strength was the weakest among the four teams. Unless they performed above the level, they could barely fight to the death with Princess Taiping's team, otherwise they would definitely lose.

In order to perform at a higher level, they must use training to adjust their state so that they can reach their best in the game tomorrow.

At this time, Li Zhen got off the field and sat on the wooden railing next to him. Zhang Li walked over. His arms were covered with plywood and hung around his neck with gauze.

Zhang Li sat down next to Li Zhen. The two of them watched the training of their teammates on the court. Zhang Li asked in a low laugh: "How sure is the leader of the game tomorrow?"

"I can't explain it clearly, either"

Li Zhen smiled and shook his head, "But I personally feel that Princess Taiping absorbed Wu Chengsi's polo team, which may not be a good thing."
