Chapter 44 Shocking

  Li Yongrong lost a ball hand, and Chen Jing was forced to come on stage to make up for it.

  Not to mention the spectators, even Bai Chenyu and Zhou Xun and other teammates, looking at Chen Jing, also felt that this number was too forced, and couldn't help but feel discouraged.

  Chen Jingzheng was at the age when boys develop, looking particularly thin, with long and slender arms and legs, like a solitary bamboo stick. Normally, outsiders wouldn't think there's anything unusual about him, because most boys of this age are like that, nothing out of the ordinary.

  However, he needs to play on the field, and his thin and weak shortcomings are magnified.

  Polo is a fierce sport, Chen Jiong's physique is only afraid that he can't even control the horse.

  It's like a joke.

  "...Just admit defeat already, letting a kid like this play is deceiving who!" The spectators were dissatisfied.

  "Falling down is no joke, whose child is this, doesn't know how to treasure their life?"

  With this kid, Li Yongrong's team didn't increase their chances of winning by half a point.

  Why bother?

  Waste everyone's time.

  The onlookers didn't have the slightest bit of admiration or sympathy for Li Yongrong's refusal to give up, instead they felt he was treating everyone like a fool and taking Chen Jing's life lightly, which filled them with indignation.

  The discontented voices rose and fell on the watchtower.

  "Can that scholar ride a horse?" In the elegant room of the Arrow Tower, Mo Bing and several others also saw it, laughing with their heads thrown back.

  Li Yongrong put Chen Jing on the field, and from the momentum, they had already lost.

  In short, it's like a joke.

  Cai Shuxian and Shen Nanhua in the southeastern wing of the Arrow Tower also gasped at this scene.

  Cai Shuxian bit her lip tightly, and her slender small hands were also clenched. After enduring it again and again, she suddenly stood up, angrily saying: "Li Balang and the others are not gods of polo, why must they be forced to play? Since someone is injured, let's fight another day! This Du guy is too much, I'll go drive him away..."

  She really couldn't bear to see Li Yongrong struggle in such despair, it pained her heart.

  Someone in the team got injured, isn't that an accident? Who's life can guarantee no accidents? Since it's an accident, why not just stop and come back another day, why force someone to use a bookworm to play ball?

  Cai Shuxian strode across the court as if it were her home, turning around to go find her brother for help.

  A fair and square fight with equal strength, how could Li Yong Rong possibly lose!

  How about now?

  It's obviously bullying now.

  Dare to bully Li Balang at Wangpingge Stadium, simply unaware of life and death!

  "It's not right." Shen Nanhua pulled her back, "This is their bet. I heard my fourth brother say that a gentleman's word is his bond, and he will not go back on it even if he loses. It's a matter of honor for men to keep their promises, even if they lose. What's most annoying is when women interfere. If you go and chase away the Du guy, others will laugh at Li Balang."

  "Really... really?" Cai Shu's eyes were filled with hesitation.

  Shen Nanhua nodded solemnly and said, "It's true!"

  "What's going to happen?" Cai Shuxian's rice-like teeth sank into her cherry lips, biting lightly, with a worried face.

  Shen Nanhua didn't know what to do either and started worrying too.

  They were worried here, hesitating and unsure what to do, the drumbeats had already come from the stadium. The drumbeats were urgent, like a heavy rain pouring down.

  As she raised her eyes, Shen Nanhua saw that the thin and weak scholar Chen Yang had already mounted his horse.

  From afar, it still looks very thin and weak.

  He put on the temporarily prepared long boots, held a whip in his hand, and rode on a racing horse with a bell tied to its tail, with a subtle gleam of black temples and eyebrows raised slightly.

  The ball is dropped, the polo ball rolls on the field, and the dust flies away. Then, two teams of people ride horses to chase the ball, each with a long-handled mallet to hit the ball.

  Chen Yang and, who was at the end of the defense line, did not rush forward with them.

  He struggled to drive his horse a few steps forward and then slowed down again, unable to catch up. In the eyes of the onlookers, he seemed to be unable to ride a horse.

  "He can't even ride a horse!" The onlookers were indignant and dissatisfied.

  "What's the point of arguing anymore? Let's just settle this once and for all. That kid is being too perfunctory."

  "Don't fall down again. If you fall down again, Li Balang won't have anyone to replace him." Someone burst out laughing, full of ridicule.

  Cai Shuxian's heart was lifted to his throat; Shen Nanhua's gaze chased after the ball, and didn't linger on Chen Jing for a moment. The mocking words in her ear seemed to go unheard by Shen Nanhua.

  Soon, with the help of his teammates, Du Shiji got the ball and turned around on horseback, wanting to carry the ball into the net.

  Li Yongrong and others all came forward to block him, striking from left and right.

  The sand in the hourglass has almost run out, and this round may not be able to score a goal.

  Du Shijie and others turned back, and they met Chen Yang, who was almost stationary in the same place.

  No one noticed Chen Yang and others.

  Chen Yang also turned his horse around and left.

  Du Shiji and Chen Yang were almost side by side when Chen Yang suddenly spurred his horse forward and drew closer to Du Shiji.

  His body suddenly fell to one side.

  "Oh no......" Someone on the arrow tower lost their voice.

  She watched as Chen Jing's body fell down.

  Did the child fall off the horse?

  Are you dead?

  The cry had hardly faded away when Chen Zhong's figure reappeared on horseback. The tip of the whip in his hand was teasing a small ball, tossing it up and down without letting it fall to the ground.

  At this moment, the whole scene seemed quiet, and you could hear a pin drop.

  Everyone's eyeballs almost fell off. That kid, what did he just do? How did he suddenly get the ball?

  The drumbeat continued steadily, neither fast nor slow.

  The two teams on the field were also completely stunned.

  Even Du Shiji was stunned. His whip and ball were on the other side of his horse. Chen Zhongji suddenly turned sideways as he approached, seemingly falling off his horse. Du Shiji felt a gust of wind passing under his horse's belly. When he came to his senses, his ball was already on Chen Zhongji's whip.

  As swift as lightning!

  Cai Shuxian was also shocked. She came to her senses from the shock, and shook Shen Nanhua's arm hard, "Sister Nanhua, did you see that? How did he snatch the ball?"

  Shen Nanhua also frowned.

  Although she was fully focused on watching the competition in the arena, Chen Yang's snatch of the ball was too fast.

  Chen Yang turned over and flipped his body, almost reaching the bottom of the horse's abdomen, then quickly got up. When he got up, the ball was already on his stirrup.

  Shen Nanhua wanted to tell Cai Shuxian what he saw, but on the field, Du Shijie and others had already caught up with Chen Yang and were about to snatch the ball from him.

  His teammates were also stunned and didn't catch up with him.

  Chen Jiong was attacked from both sides.

  The ball is on his racket, jumping in mid-air, without falling to the ground.

  Shen Nanhua was shocked again. For the first time, she saw someone dribbling so skillfully that he didn't drop the ball at all.

  As she saw Du Shijie and the other person catching up, Shen Nanhua's heart rose to her throat, and a voice in her mind shouted: "Hurry up and shoot! You can shoot now, or you'll be robbed!"

  Chen Yang and the distance from the ball door, has reached a place where the ball can be thrown.

  Chen Yang and others did not have the intention of throwing.

  He is still dribbling closer.

  "Why not shoot?" Shen Nanhua urged him anxiously. What was he still doing, couldn't he just shoot already? With such excellent horse riding skills and ball handling, his shooting technique must be superb, so why wasn't he shooting?

  She didn't know what Chen Jing was doing by not investing in the venture.

  Is dribbling fun?

  She held her breath as the ball rose and fell.

  Du Shijie's tackle is about to take the ball away from Chen Yangwei.

  But then Chen Yang and General Ball, high and abandoned, to the side of a band, his whip suddenly moved from his left hand to his right hand, the ball was brought to the right side, far away from Du Shijie.

  He...

  He can actually switch horses at this speed!

  How exquisite is this ball control and horse riding!

  "Hurry up and vote......" Shen Nanhua urged in her heart.

  But Chen Jiong still approached with the ball.

  He kept getting closer and closer until he couldn't move forward anymore, then discarded the ball and prepared to shoot.

  Even though he was so close, his ball still hit the backboard and bounced off.

  Shen Nanhua couldn't help but let out a light sigh, her heart was so tense it felt like it was going to jump out.

  The ball was lightly bumped and fell into the net!

  "What a close call!" Shen Nanhua said in her heart, and also let out a sigh.

  The moment the ball went in, the whole stadium was really silent.

  Shen Nanhua let out a breath and stood there in stunned silence, her cherry lips slightly parted as if she wanted to say something but couldn't utter a single word.

  The drumbeat suddenly changed and became more urgent, then abruptly stopped.

  The hourglass is empty, this round is over.

  The people on the watchtower, with the sudden stop of the drumbeat, seemed to suddenly come back to their senses, and a hubbub of voices erupted, chattering and arguing.

  The scene just now happened too fast, the whole process of Chen Yang's performance was stunning, making it impossible for the onlookers to take their minds off and chat idly, their hearts were all with the ball.

  "...It turned out he couldn't pitch!" Shen Nanhua slowly regained her composure, letting out a breath before realizing why Chen Yang and Fei had risked everything to bring the ball so close before throwing.

  He is excellent at dribbling and horse riding, but not very good at shooting.

  "That bookworm scored?" Even though the ball had already gone into the net, some people still couldn't believe it.

  The whole process was reversed too quickly and happened too suddenly, leaving all the onlookers stunned and bewildered.

  "Don't judge a person by their appearance!" Someone came back to their senses and let out a deep sigh.

  "How is this possible?" Some people still dare not believe it.

  Everyone was talking about it, wishing they could relive what had just happened and let them see it clearly again.

  Mo Bing and the other four people all changed their faces, looking as pale as dead ashes, unable to say a word.

  "......Got the ball! Li Balang and his team, did they score a goal?" Cai Shuxian opened her small mouth wide, her voice trembling with excitement as she asked Shen Nanhua.

  Shen Nanhua was also deeply shocked.

  But she quickly came back from this shock, nodded and smiled: "Yes. That Mr. Chen is good at horse riding and ball throwing!"

  The pitch was too forced.

  What a strange person.

  Horse riding is so good, dribbling almost doesn't touch the ground, why can't shoot?

  The whole arrow tower was discussing fiercely.

  All sorts of voices were making a racket together, with everyone talking at once.

  They were deeply shocked for the first time.

  Just now still said, let that child go on stage, is fooling people. Who would have thought, that child turned out to be Li Yongrong's trump card.

  The people on the arrow tower can't wait for the start of the third round.

  After a brief rest and changing horses, the drums sounded again, and the two teams returned to the field.

  This time, everyone's attention is focused on Chen Yang and one person.

  They seem to be watching Chen Yang's every move.

  "Huh? Why isn't that kid a forward?" A spectator who had a clear view of the formation on the field wondered.

  After re-entering the field, Chen Yang's position did not change as everyone expected, from the last defender to the first striker. He just changed from the last defender to the first defender.

  That position was previously held by Bai Chenyu and is an all-around position with both offense and defense capabilities.

  "Yes, putting him in the backcourt is a waste of his talent, what does Li Yongrong want to do?"

  "Why not let this child go forward? Is Li Yongrong jealous of his great talent?"

  For this layout, unexpectedly, most of the audience was confused, and Du Shijie and others were also puzzled.

  The drums beat rapidly, the sand timer is ready, and the third round has started.

  This time, it was almost a crushing victory.

  Chen Jiong snatched the ball and rode with incredible skill. His horse was almost an extension of his body, and no matter how he maneuvered, the unity between horse and rider was breathtaking. He snatched the ball quickly and elegantly, leaving Du Shijiu and others unable to react.

  The ball is always on Chen Jing's body.

  He would pass the ball to Li Yongrong or Bai Chenyu, never shooting himself.

  Some people in the audience were itching to see Chen Jing throw the ball himself.

  When there was still one-third of the sand left, Li Yongrong had already scored two goals and Bai Chenyu one goal. Adding Chen Jing's goal in the previous round, they have scored four goals.

  Not only did they turn the game around, but also won by one goal.

  Li Yongrong and they were in high spirits.

  The audience was excited and praised Chen Jiong, as if they had all forgotten that they were there to see Du Shijie win.

  In just ten minutes, all the betting and Du Shijie were forgotten. All they saw in their eyes was Chen Jing's mysterious ball control skills and horse riding.

  Chen Jiong finally got the ball back from Du Shiji again.

  This time, Li Yongrong and Bai Chenyu were both being watched, with no one in front of them. Chen Jing was not too far from the throwing board either. He could completely throw on his own.

  He hesitated for a moment and then he did it himself.

  The spectators felt that this ball was bound to go in without a doubt. Everyone's wishes were finally fulfilled and they felt very relieved.

  Unexpectedly, with a loud crash, the ball was blocked by the board and rolled back, rolling far away.

  The whole field was quiet again, and Chen Jiong had to be quiet for the first time when he grabbed the ball.

  This...

  What a joke!

  Kid, are you kidding us? Your terrible pitching skills, does it live up to your horse riding skills? Does it live up to your dribbling skills? Does it live up to our trust?

  So close, why can't you score?

  After the ball fell to the ground, it was grabbed again, and Chen Jing got it.

  There is only a little sand left in the hourglass, it's almost over.

  The audience is also very nervous.

  Although Li Yongrong and his team had already scored a goal, even if Du Shijie scored again, it would still be a tie. But those spectators were just hoping that Chen Jing would score another goal.

  Otherwise, it's unreasonable!

  That horse riding and ball juggling, can't even get one ball right, it's too unreasonable!

  Chen Jiong quickly glanced around and passed it on to Li Yongrong and Bai Chenyu, who would be robbed.

  No choice, it's already closer, he decided to give it a try.

  Then he pitched again.

  His eyebrows carried a few points of coldness, his sharp eyes stared at the small hole that had been set up, and with a sound like thunder, he fiercely hit the ball out.

  He has an intimidating presence.

  The hearts of the onlookers all rose with the ball as it soared high into the air. This time, it was definitely going in; the onlookers waited for the cheers that would erupt after the goal.

  With a loud crash, the dishes were knocked over and scattered all over the place.

  But the ball was blocked back fiercely and rolled around on the ground.

  The watchtower was suddenly in an uproar.

  What's going on here!

  So close, can't you get it in?

  "What the...!" Some onlookers couldn't help but curse out loud.

  The audience was shocked and speechless, and after recalling what had just happened, they couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time.

  Chen Jiong was also at a loss for words, he couldn't even lift his hand to wipe his forehead. The good luck had been used up in the first throw, and amazingly, neither of them made it in twice.

  The drumbeat accelerated and then stopped abruptly, the competition has ended.

  Li Yongrong scored four goals and Du Shijie scored three goals.

  Won one ball.

  But throughout the whole scene, no one went on to discuss winning or losing anymore.

  They all talked about Chen Jing again.

  Chen Jiong's stunning dribbling, Chen Jiong's superb horsemanship, Chen Jiong's fantastic throwing!
