Polo is Juju, which is a sport in which one rides on horseback and hits a wooden ball with a long-handled Ju stick.According to legend, it was introduced from Persia, so it is also called "Polo Ball".

Players ride horses and divide into two teams, hold a bow stick, hit a ball together, and win by hitting the opponent's goal.

Before the race started, Su Shiqing took the picture album and went to the stable to observe the handsome horses.

These horses are the Zijin of the Prince Yu, the two son-in-laws "Silver Brown" and "Zao Liu", the "Jueying" of the First Prince, and the "Yellow Horse" of the son of the Minister of the Ministry of Justice. Their tails are all covered with blue. Ribbon tied up.

Among them was a cyan horse whose fur was as shiny as a peacock's feathers under the sun. It raised its head proudly and shook its smooth mane. It belonged to some prince or nobleman.

The gong sounded that the game was about to start.

The servants who took care of the horses went into the stable and led the horses out.Su Shiqing also hurriedly followed to the outside of the paddock for a round with Shao Erxue and Han Xizi.

on the field.

Players wear scarves (red and blue), wear boots, and hold bow sticks and enter the paddock one by one.

The court musicians and dance team next to them began to perform songs and dances to cheer up the competition.

At this time, the young master sitting on that unique cyan horse caught Su Shiqing's attention.

Even though she wore a blue scarf on her head and combed all her thick bangs, Su Shiqing still recognized Jie Ao at a glance.

I haven't seen him for a few months, and he has been tanned a lot. The clothes on his body are fine blue silk, embroidered with elegant bamboo leaf patterns, which complement the bronze complexion and make him look taller.

Without the cover of the bangs, the contours of the facial features are more distinct, there is a sense of unruliness in the deep eyes, and there is a dazzling smile on the handsome face at this moment.

Su Shiqing's heart seemed to be firmly grasped by him, fluctuating and beating with his figure.

As if sensing something, Jie Ao turned his head to look in his direction.

The moment the four eyes met, Su Shiqing's heart skipped a beat, and she lowered her head shyly, covering her face with the album in her hand, her heart almost jumped out of her chest surrounded by joy and anxiety.

"Even if you wear the same clothes as others, you still stand out from such a distance."

Shao Erxue beside him said suddenly.

"what?"

Su Shiqing turned her head to look at Shao Erxue in doubt.

I don't know if he was looking at him all the time, or if he just turned his head, the eyes of the two made contact.

Su Shiqing saw some complex emotions that she had never seen before in Shao Erxue's eyes.

Shao Erxue looked away, and continued: "I'm talking about Jie Ao, you should have seen him just now."

"Ah... yes." Su Shiqing felt a little guilty, "Why did he come here?"

"His standing in line is obvious. I'm afraid he has other purposes."

Shao Erxue obviously had something in his words, Su Shiqing asked back: "Brother Han Su, what do you mean by these words?"

Shao Erxue walked over and whispered in his ear: "Now the imperial court is divided into four, namely the Prince's faction, the First Prince's faction, the Royal Prince's faction, and the Third Prince's faction who are both descendants. On the side of the prince and the eldest prince, it is not known which faction to support specifically."

Su Shiqing looked at Shao Erxue in surprise, never expecting him to tell him this, which shows that Shao Erxue's trust in him has surpassed the ordinary relationship between master and student and friend.

"In any case, Jie Ao is destined to be involved in this bloody struggle and disappear for a few months. I'm afraid he is no longer just a painter in the Academy of Painting."

Su Shiqing was very nervous, recalling what the mysterious man said that night, he could probably tell that Jie Ao was probably following Prince Yu, and was also related to the rebellious Red Scarf Army.

The more she thought about it, the more terrifying she felt, Su Shiqing couldn't help wiping the cold sweat from her forehead.

"What about you? Brother Han Su, which faction do you belong to?"

Shao Erxue stared at him without answering, but also acquiesced to the fact that he joined the party.

This made Su Shiqing's heart cold for a while. Could it be that Shao Erxue, who seemed as gentle as jade and indifferent to the world, also joined this struggle?

At this time.

Not far away, an official said something inexplicable to Lord Stearns.

"Your son is really heroic today. Looking at the competition clothes, it must be on the side of Prince Yu and the First Prince."

Master Shi Te had a dark face, silently watching Jie Ao on the field, his eyes were full of anger.

"Ding!"

The opening gong sounded.

Jie Ao rode his horse and walked, looking back from time to time in the direction of the person who missed him day and night.

But Su Shiqing couldn't concentrate on watching the game because she was too worried.

After the start of the game, the two sides came and went, with superb skills.

Jie Ao rode a good horse on the court, swung his bow stick, and was invincible, piercing through the opponent's gate again and again, helping the Prince Yu and the First Prince to win a lot of goals.

The painters also started to get busy, and their eyes kept chasing the figure who was sweating profusely on the field.

The characters in the works are all heroic, taking advantage of the momentum and leaping, with different expressions.All the horses have charm, some with four hooves soaring into the air, some with majestic posture, some with flying manes... just as wonderful as described in the poems: Yule Qianjin horse, engraved seven treasure balls.Fu Fen was shocked by lightning, and Fu Fen felt the flow of stars.

Unknowingly, when it was time for the intermission, Su Shiqing was surrounded by several little princes and princesses while walking back, asking to paint for them.

After finally getting rid of those little ancestors, just as he was about to turn around, he bumped into a hard wall of flesh.

"what!"

He rubbed his sore forehead, raised his head, and saw Jie Ao's face close at hand.

"Expose...!"

Before Ao could say the words, Jie Ao suddenly reached out and grabbed the back of his neck, leaning his forehead against his.

Su Shiqing didn't expect him to do this, and her face turned red.Even though it was only for a short moment, he was still afraid that this scene would be seen by others.

"Don't go after the game, wait for me."

It seems that there are still important things to do, Jie Ao left after leaving only these words and Yu Wen.

"Hey..." Su Shiqing muttered, "What, are you leaving now?"

Although it was just a short sentence and a simple action, it calmed down all the uneasiness and tension in his heart like a magic medicine.

The second half of the game begins.

Jie Ao, who returned to the field, quickly grabbed a ball. Just when everyone thought he was going to take the ball forward, he was suddenly hit hard on the back of the hand by the fifth prince from the red side.

Blood gushed out like a gush immediately, and Jie Ao was caught off guard and fell hard from his horse.

Seeing this situation, Su Shiqing was so frightened that she jumped up from her seat with an anxious expression on her face.

Shao Erxue's eyes turned from Jie Ao to Su Shiqing, and then showed a difficult and bitter expression.

Just now he saw the scene where their two foreheads touched, and while he was shocked, it was more painful.

At this moment, his heart was filled with silent jealousy and anger, which also made him see more clearly his desire to have Su Shiqing.

If, if he didn't take into account the so-called gentleman's way, is it now...

Jie Ao returned to rest in the tent because of his injury, the imperial physician hurriedly treated him, and the county lord took his place.

Although Jun Ye was serious about hitting on the field, his skills were far inferior to Jie Ao, and the game ended with the red team winning.

A busy day is finally over.

After packing up the painting tools and drawings, all the painters started to walk outside the coaching field.

Shao Erxue walked straight past Su Shiqing, with a cold breath all over her body, and she didn't even communicate with each other.

"Brother Han Su..."

Shao Erxue didn't seem to hear, and walked forward very fast, he wanted to escape from Su Shiqing.

Su Shiqing didn't know what happened to Shao Erxue, and thought that he might have been angered by some prince, so she didn't take it too seriously.

Along the way, he absent-mindedly looked around for Jie Ao's figure.

Liu Shihao turned his head and said to Su Shiqing: "Your pace is too slow."

"You guys are too fast..."

Su Shiqing had to catch up with them, but Shao Erxue still didn't say anything, as if they were going their separate ways.

It was already some distance away from the school grounds, Su Shiqing had to stop and pretend to say: "Ah, that... I seem to have forgotten something, I have to go back and look for it."

Hearing this sentence, Shao Erxue, whose heart ached, finally stopped, and said coldly, "What's so important that I have to go back and get it?"

Su Shiqing was slightly startled, and after thinking for a while, she replied: "It's that white marble..."

"Really?" Shao Erxue interrupted him bluntly, "Since it's such an important thing, how could it be left there?"

Su Shiqing lowered her head, not knowing how to answer.

Shao Erxue took a deep breath, and finally relented.

"You go, come back quickly after you find it."

After speaking, he walked forward without looking back.

Liu Shihao hurried to catch up, and asked awkwardly: "Teacher, shouldn't we wait for him?"

"He doesn't need us to wait."

"But it's going to be dark soon."

Shao Erxue's face became more and more cold, and her lips were tightly closed.But the heat in my heart became hotter, and the cry of pain became stronger.

Liu Shihao didn't understand his mood at all, but he didn't dare to speak.

Outside the classroom.

There was a cool breeze in the woods.

Su Shiqing was in it, and suddenly smelled a faint aroma in the wind, like the aroma of wine.

But where does the aroma of wine come from?

Just as he was thinking, the sound of horseshoes came from behind him.

He turned his head and found that it was Jie Ao's steed, walking slowly towards him, but Jie Ao's figure was not seen immediately.

A gust of wind blew in, and the horse smelled faintly of the fragrance just now.

The horse raised its head and stopped in front of Su Shiqing.Glittering hair, exuding strength and majesty, burning with flame-like brilliance under the setting sun... Su Shiqing carefully looked at this well-proportioned and tall horse, and sincerely sighed inwardly.

There is a wine bottle hanging on the horse's body, the aroma is coming from it, it must be a bottle of peerless wine.

"Where's your master?"

Su Shiqing asked and looked around, but there was no one.

At this time, the horse let out a low cry, and lowered its hooves and body, as if telling him to sit on it.

Su Shiqing hesitated for a moment, then climbed onto the horse's back.After he sat down firmly, the horse actually walked towards the deep path alone, as if it was going to take him somewhere.

"Jieao!"

Su Shiqing shouted as she walked, but no one responded.

"Strange, where did it go?"

When he walked under a big tree, a black shadow suddenly jumped down from the tree, and landed directly and steadily on the horse behind Su Shiqing.

"what!"

Su Shiqing was so frightened that she almost fell off the horse, but luckily her waist was firmly held by a hand.

"Are you okay?"

Jie Ao's laughing voice came from behind him.

Su Shiqing turned her head away in shock, and couldn't help but slammed into Jie Ao's ribs forcefully.

"You want to scare me to death!"

Jie Ao let go of him in pain, and said with a smirk: "How can I be willing?"

"Why are you hiding here?"

Jie Ao continued to smirk, stretched out his hand like a child begging for candy, and tapped on his lips: "I'll tell you after a kiss."

Su Shiqing blushed immediately: "Dream!"

"Can't you?"

Jie Ao's expression turned lonely in an instant, and then he suddenly pulled the rein tighter like a villain, causing the horse to raise its front hooves, and then galloped forward.

Su Shiqing was so shocked that she quickly grabbed Jie Ao's arm and asked, "Where are you taking me?"

"You will know when you go."

The corner of Jie Ao's mouth raised a beautiful arc, but that smile didn't look pure.
