"Ding Dong, dear host, now release a difficult task - 'Be the champion'."

"Task Requirements: Win the first place in the 'Spring Examination' on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month."

"Mission Reward: Capture Xiao Huang's 20000 Life Points at once."

What woke up Xiao Jie early this morning was not a dream, but a system prompt.

But after listening to the task released by the system, Xiao Jie just wanted to scold him for being a fool, what kind of difficult task is this, it is simply impossible.

Because the annual "spring test" in Daning is not about horse riding and wrestling, but about polo.

Polo is the number one sport in Daning. In the heyday of Daning, it has reached the point of fanaticism. From the emperors and generals to the traffickers and pawns, everyone is obsessed with this sport. The financial requirements are extremely high, and many people will never have the opportunity to play a real polo game in their entire lives, but this does not affect them becoming avid fans of the sport.

Fans of the army, especially polo. After all, the first day polo was born, it was called "military drama". It is a training program and entertainment item for many local troops. High-level polo players come from the army, especially the Liangzhou Army and Youzhou Army who are proficient in riding and shooting, and they are even more talented.

Xiao Yan, the founding emperor of Daning, was a well-known polo player, and it was he who decided to hold a polo tournament called "Spring Trial" outside Luoyang every year on the [-]th day of the first lunar month. , the four armies of Liangzhou Army, Youzhou Army, Jiaozhou Army and Forbidden Army compete with each other to decide the outcome.

After decades, the "spring test" has become a major event for the people of Luoyang. After all, the polo game requires participants not only to have a strong physique, superb riding skills and precise shooting skills, but also pay attention to the relationship between teammates. The tacit understanding and cooperation, and the polo teams formed by the major armies undoubtedly have the upper hand. The competition between them also represents the highest level of competition in Daning polo, and the level of excitement is far from comparable to that of folk polo games.

Therefore, for every polo fan, the annual "spring test" is undoubtedly a big feast for them. Even people who are not interested in polo will want to join in the fun.

But for Xiao Jie and the Jiaozhou Army, happiness belongs to the Liangzhou Army and Youzhou Army, and the excitement belongs to the people of Luoyang City. All that is left to them is loneliness.

The reason is very simple, polo polo, the key point is to have a "horse"!

The Liangzhou Army has [-] cavalry, and the Youzhou Army has [-] elite cavalry. Even the Forbidden Army has special Xiaoqi Battalions and Yueqi Battalions. Only the Jiaozhou Army has no cavalry at all. Many Jiaozhou Army soldiers may never have the opportunity to ride a horse in their entire lives. , not to mention riding horses to practice playing polo, so that in the "spring test" in previous years, the Jiaozhou Army had the cheek to borrow horses from their opponents to compete, and they were able to enter the field to make up the number. Therefore, since the "Spring Test", the Jiaozhou Army It firmly occupies this last place every year, as stable as Mount Tai.

Compared with the downfall of the Jiaozhou Army, the Liangzhou Army has won the "Spring Examination" crown for five consecutive years, so the only remaining suspense in the annual "Spring Examination" has become who can win the Youzhou Army or the Forbidden Army? Get No.2.

But now the long-silent system has issued a task for itself to lead the Jiaozhou Army, which is habitually at the bottom, to win No.1 in this year's "spring test", which is simply far from the original.

Although Xiao Jie is a time traveler, even if he can open it, he really can't do such an outrageous task.

Among other things, he couldn't even play polo himself.

If the "Spring Trial" is a competition, maybe there will be some drama...

Xiao Jie seemed to have thought of something suddenly, he entered the system space to confirm, and confirmed that the task requirement was "to win the first place in the 'spring test' on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month".

He suddenly had a bold idea in his mind!

The last time he completed the task of "Intense Strength" to put down the chieftain rebellion in Jiaozhou, the mysterious item rewarded by the system was a "Double Mission Reward Card". If you want to play, you can play big ones, and you can play with one heartbeat.

As soon as he exited the system space, Xiao Jie immediately ordered the servants of Prince Qi's mansion to prepare the chariots and horses, and he wanted to enter the palace immediately to face the saint.

……

Changning Palace.

Even though it was the New Year, Xiao Ji still went to the imperial study every day to review the memorials, and Lian Yi, the internal servant, stood by with his hands down, waiting for orders.

"Report to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Qi is asking to see you outside the palace."

A little eunuch entered the imperial study softly to report.

The imperial pen in Xiao Ji's hand couldn't help but shook his head and said with a smile: "He has been away all year round, and finally went back to the capital. Instead of staying in the Qi Palace to accompany the princess and his children, why did he come to the Imperial Study to see me?"

Lian Yi lowered his eyebrows and said sympathetically: "Your Majesty, since His Royal Highness King Qi made a special trip to the palace to see His Majesty, it must be something important. Your Majesty King Xuan Qi will know when he comes in and ask."

Xiao Ji nodded slightly, and then said to the little eunuch, "King Xuan Qi, come in."

The little eunuch hurriedly retreated, then brought Xiao Jie into the imperial study room, then bowed his head and retreated.

"My son sees my father."

As soon as Xiao Jie entered the door, he gave a big gift to Xiao Ji.

"Emperor." Xiao Ji smiled slightly, and then asked, "What do you want to see me for?"

Xiao Jie stood up, without hiding anything, and said bluntly: "Reporting to my father, my son came here for the 'spring test' on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month."

Xiao Ji immediately understood that the Jiaozhou army was at the bottom of the "spring test" every year. The previous governors had already thought about it and became numb. Anyway, Jiaozhou was born at a disadvantage, and no one would criticize them harshly.But my son has always been competitive and never willing to be inferior to others. Presumably he is not willing to be the last one again.

But Xiao Ji didn't understand the use of his son coming to him. After all, Jiaozhou has its own state conditions, and he can't help.

But Xiao Ji did not directly reject his son, but asked with a calm smile, "What's wrong with the 'Spring Trial'?"

Xiao Jie looked up at Xiao Ji, and said in a deep voice: "Reporting to my father, I believe that the current 'spring test' is very unfair to the Jiaozhou Army and the Forbidden Army."

Xiao Ji couldn't help laughing for a moment. This son obviously felt that the "spring test" was unfair to the Jiaozhou army, but he insisted on dragging the forbidden army into the water.

Although Xiao Ji also knew that the Forbidden Army had not defeated the Youzhou Army for two consecutive years, after all, the Youzhou Army had been in the frontier fortress for a long time, and their proficiency in bow and horse was by no means comparable to that of the Forbidden Army who was pampered in the capital.

But the "spring test" was decided by the old emperor Taizu after all, and he couldn't cancel it because the imperial army couldn't win the frontier army, otherwise he would inevitably attract criticism from his subjects, thinking that he, the emperor, could not afford to lose.

"My lord, I also know that the 'Spring Examination' is unfair to the Jiaozhou Army, but the 'Spring Examination' was decided by Emperor Taizu, and it is now a major event in the capital. How can I cancel it at will?" Xiao Xiao Ji still has enough patience with his son, don't bother to explain.

Xiao Jie shook his head instead: "Father has misunderstood. What I mean is not to cancel the spring test, but to change the competition event this year, to a competition event that is fair to every army."

Xiao Ji frowned: "What do you want to change to another event?"

Xiao Jie smiled slightly: "Cuju!"
