Gu Jiao and Mu Chuan switched positions, with Mu Chuan taking on the role of secondary attacker.
Yuan Xiao"s serve was excellent, drawing a beautiful and clean arc in the air.
He swung directly towards Mu Qingchen"s direction. But it seemed that the people from Pingyang Academy had already antic.i.p.ated his move, with two polo players chasing after Mu Qingchen.
In terms of speed, their Black Wind Cavalry horses would definitely not lose to Tianqiong Academy"s horses.
However, something seemed off as they ran.
Whoosh!
A dark shadow darted past them!
The speed was so fast that it was unimaginable; it could only be described as darting. The two players were stunned.
Wait, is that the ugly horse?
It can run that fast?
Heh, but we aren"t even at full speed, okay?
"Hyah!"
Tacitly, the two of them increased their horse"s speed in perfect unison, but no matter how much they accelerated, the gap between them and the ugly black horse grew larger.
The horse king left everyone in the dust.
At this moment, Mu Qingchen seized the ball, with the horse king following closely behind Mu Qingchen"s mount. Mu Qingchen"s horse, terrified, used all its strength to dash forward!
"Fourth brother!"
Mu Chuan waved to Mu Qingchen while urging his own horse forward.
Mu Qingchen gauged Mu Chuan"s speed and swiftly pa.s.sed the polo ball towards him.
They were very close to the goal at Pingyang Academy’s end at this point. As long as Mu Chuan caught the ball, this flag would be theirs.
Han Che and another teammate moved to flank Mu Chuan from both sides.
Mu Chuan glanced back and shouted, "Seriously! Why are both of you charging at me!"
His horse couldn"t match the Black Wind Cavalry horses; it couldn"t outrun them!
Sure enough, Han Che overtook Mu Qingchen and, seeing the polo ball falling from the air, reached out with his mallet to hit the ball——
... but he missed the ball.
His horse suddenly veered off course!
He swayed and almost got thrown off by his own mount!
What"s going on? Who told you to run off like that!
Polo horses were subjected to long-term, rigorous training. They were familiar with every command from their rider and did not easily disobey orders.
However, that wasn"t the most astonishing part. On the other hand, despite having dealt with Han Che, Mu Chuan still failed to receive the polo ball.
The ball was s.n.a.t.c.hed by another polo player from Pingyang Academy.
This polo player tightened the reins, intending to turn around and shoot the ball into the goal at Tianqiong Academy’s side.
But before he could make a move, his horse suddenly shuddered violently, as if startled by something immense.
He was caught off guard and also shook, causing the ball to slip.
Mu Chuan decisively hooked the ball over and scored with one strike!
The referee announced, "Tianqiong Academy, scores one flag!"
In the stands, a student from Lingbo Academy clapped, "Wow! They scored a flag right at the start. That was fast!"
His companion beside him said, "Didn"t Pingyang Academy also struggle to score earlier?"
Zhong Ding raised his chin proudly and said, "That"s our academy!"
A disdainful voice came from behind, "So what? Isn"t Pingyang Academy still ahead by eleven flags? Can you catch up?"
Zhong Ding and Zhou Tong turned around.
Students from Wuyue Academy. No wonder.
Zhou Tong straightened his back and said, "We won"t lose this time! Just wait and see!"
They were no longer the weak scholars who could be bullied.
A student from Wuyue Academy sneered, "What if you lose?"
Zhou Tong rolled up his sleeves, "If we lose, we"ll bow down to you and call you father! If we win, you bow down to us and call us father!"
"Heh, don"t regret it!"
The match continued.
Strictly speaking, the Black Wind Cavalry horses were also descendants of wild horse kings. However, after being domesticated and bred, their wild nature had greatly diminished. Unlike the horse king, which grew up with its wild nature intact, exuding the aura of a fierce horse king.
The horses from Tianqiong Academy didn"t dare approach it, and although the Black Wind Cavalry horses were somewhat braver, it wasn"t by much.
Thus, a bizarre scene unfolded. Gu Jiao, riding the horse king, was like a big bad wolf entering a flock of sheep. Wherever she went, the sheep scattered!
Gu Jiao decided not to chase the ball anymore; she focused on one thing——chasing the Black Wind Cavalry horses from Pingyang Academy!
If chasing one wasn"t enough, she"d chase two. If two weren"t enough, she"d chase three.
The horse king was full of energy and didn"t feel tired at all!
Most importantly, this was much more fun than pulling a millstone!
And it didn"t have to endure being tied up with little braids!
Thinking of its ordinary and monotonous millstone-pulling life, the horse king decided to cherish this rare moment of joy.
In the end, everyone saw Gu Jiao on one horse chasing four horses, driving the Black Wind Cavalry horses to the point of tears!
If Gu Jiao was seriously playing polo during the match against Qingyue Academy, then in this match, she was seriously causing trouble. Pingyang Academy practically had her chasing them all over the place!
"Referee! He"s breaking the rules!" Accused a student from Pingyang Academy.
The referee walked over.
Gu Jiao asked calmly, "Did I intercept you from the front?"
She had been chasing from behind all along.
"Did my horse touch yours?"
There was at least half a horse"s length of distance between them.
"Did my mallet interfere with you or your horses?"
The mallet... she hadn"t even swung it once since entering the field again!
Gu Jiao smirked evilly, "Your horses are scared on their own, it’s not my fault."
Wasn"t this like what Han Che had just said to Tianqiong Academy?
"My horse didn"t touch them. They got scared on their own."
They never expected Han Che"s words to come back to slap them in the face so soon.
It stung, really stung!
"This guy is something else."
In the stands, Second Master Jing couldn"t help but admire Gu Jiao.
"It"s that horse that"s amazing." Mu Ruxin said. "Anyone riding that horse would win."
Second Master Jing frowned, not quite agreeing with this statement, "Do you think anyone can ride such a fierce horse?"
As someone who practiced martial arts, back when the Xuanyuan Family was still thriving, he once had the opportunity to choose a Black Wind Cavalry horse of his own.
His elder brother-in-law had asked him, "Do you want a horse that’s easy to ride, or do you want a good horse?"
He didn"t quite understand it at the time, but gradually, he came to realize the meaning.
Unfortunately, he never had the chance to tell his elder brother-in-law his true answer.
Under Gu Jiao and the horse king"s mischief throughout the three chukkas, Pingyang Academy didn"t score a single goal.
Finally, they managed to seize the ball, and Han Che brought it to the goal of Tianqiong Academy.
Gu Jiao, riding the horse king, blocked the way, and Han Che"s horse immediately turned around and ran!
Han Che: "...!!"
"Are you three here to s.n.a.t.c.h the ball?" Gu Jiao asked the three Pingyang Academy players who were eyeing her intently.
The three of them felt the corner of their mouths twitch, believe it or not, we want to, but our mounts refuse to move!
"Oh." Gu Jiao spread her hands and sighed, "Well, then I accept your concession."
Both the rider and the horse raised their chins in the same proud manner and triumphantly took the ball away!
As the match approached its end, there was a stunning reversal in the flag count, shifting from twelve to two to twelve to twenty, with Tianqiong Academy scoring twenty.
Everyone"s focus shifted from who would score the next goal to who would be the next one chased to their knees.
The faces of the Pingyang Academy players turned green.
They had thought that with the Black Wind Cavalry horses, they would be invincible, but who knew that guy’s horse would cause such chaos!
What kind of wild, crazy creature was that horse?Raz P."s Thoughts

PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR NEW PROJECT:
Description:
In the suspenseful supernatural novel “Records of Mortals,” Jiang Baiyan, once a solitary and impoverished youth, finds refuge in the Shi family of Chang’an due to his extraordinary bloodline. With his clear and captivating peach blossom eyes, this seemingly innocent young man conceals a fanatical and malevolent lunatic within. Destined to succ.u.mb to darkness amidst hardship and degradation, he becomes a harbinger of chaos.
When Shi Dai suddenly transmigrates, she takes on the role of the Shi family’s young lady, the one who subjects him to countless trials, eventually leading to her demise.
The twist? She never got to finish reading the novel.
From what she knew of the plot, Jiang Baiyan was just a silent, timid, and often bullied pitiable character.
***
Jiang Baiyan had never encountered someone like Shi Dai.
After he had slaughtered all the evil creatures in the garden, the blood-stained young man, exuding a murderous aura, approached her step by step, his lips curling into a malicious smile, "Scared?"
Shi Dai responded, “You’re really amazing! I applaud you until I spin like a spiral and fly around the moon three hundred times! And also——you have dimples when you smile!"
Jiang Baiyan: ...?
—
After seeing her at a lantern festival with another man, Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes, his fingers twirling her hair. He said in a mocking and sinister tone, "The mansion in the western suburbs...if I hide you there, no one will find you, right?"
Shi Dai replied, "Does it come with meals and lodging? Can I sleep in everyday? Oh, and your cooking is the best!"
Jiang Baiyan: ...?
—
Jiang Baiyan was supposed to dislike her, even hate her, but as their separation drew near, his eyes turned red and he grabbed her sleeve, pleading, "Don"t abandon me, alri—”
Shi Dai responded, "Alright, alright, I’ll only have you. Mwah."
Jiang Baiyan: ...?
He hasn"t finished his lines yet though…
