Chapter 348
In fact, Mu Mingtang was also shocked. She knew that there was no one who could equal Xie Xuanchen's martial abilities in a solo match. However, the problem was that polo was a team battle. No matter how outstanding Xie Xuanchen's individual ability was, he probably wouldn't be able to save his entire team alone.
Mu Mingtang finally understood that it wasn't a matter of saving the team alone, it was a matter of being powerful enough. After all, Xie Xuanchen who didn't need a team and didn't need to cooperate with others was capable enough to defeat the enemy team through his sole abilities.
Even though that statement was true, they couldn't say things like that directly. Instead, they have to be low-key and restrained. Mu Mingtang glanced at the servant girl before she said, "Don't speak disrespectfully; the Prince has his own plans to carry out."
Mu Mingtang basically only implied that Xie Xuanchen had his own methods of doing things, but she didn't deny what the maid said. So, she also felt that Ye Luyan and the others were going to be beaten by Xie Xuanchen?
Xiao Siyi's facial expressions were distorted when she heard that as she glared at Mu Mingtang, enraged. Then, she continued to cheer Ye Luyan on vigorously.
However, no matter how painstakingly Xiao Siyi yelled, it just became a jumbled mess of noise for the players.
Ye Luyan was very angry when he heard Xie Xuanchen's words. Them getting 0 points? Tsk, what a boastful mouth he had.
The Beirong soldiers were trained in martial arts in their culture and they always liked to claim that they were unrivalled when it came to horseback. Hence, how could they bear the humiliation of being beaten in the very thing they professed to be good in by a handsome young man of the Hans? The faces of the burly and muscular men of the Beirong team weren't very happy. Ye Luyan didn't say a word against Xie Xuanchen's provocation, but declared, "It's just one game, so it's too early to decide whether to win or lose. Come again!"
The people of Beirong felt that Xie Xuanchen was deliberately provoking their team, but Xie Xuanchen was truly making a sincere suggestion. Ye Luyan refused to listen, so he had no choice but nodded and acquiesced, "All right."
If you're not satisfied with this result, let's go again.
The game of polo was limited by time, so the team with the most goals within the timeframe of a stick of incense wins. Xie Xuanji wanted to show his eagerness and capabilities from the very beginning of the battle. If he could defeat the Beirong people in the arena and allow the Emperor to bask in pride. With His mAjesty's mood heightened, the arrangements made for Xie Xanji some time ago could be withdrawn.
Thanks to Jiang Mingwei's actions, Xie Xuanji was left idle for 3 entire months. Seeing the opportunity, the other Princes had used that amount of time to cooperate and gained a good number of benefits for themselves.
