Starting from a thatched cottage, the farmer embarked on the road to wealth through imperial examina

Several students looked at the wooden sticks in Yang Fugong's hand, examining them carefully, and it was unclear whether they were hesitating about which one to draw or were being polite to each other.

Yang Fugong, however, had a serious face as he looked at each student who came up to draw lots, as if trying to see through their inner thoughts.

Liang Jingcheng felt that the atmosphere at the scene was a bit awkward. Seeing that Yang Fugong had a serious face and the others seemed to be motionless, Liang Jingcheng raised his eyes and glanced at the others.

Liang Jingcheng found that the other three were staring at the four wooden sticks, as if they were trying to see something on them. Liang Jingcheng saw that the other three seemed hesitant and couldn't figure out what was so good about these wooden sticks, so he took the lead and reached out and took a wooden stick from Yang Fugong's hand.

The three people on the side looked at Liang Jingcheng in surprise. Liang Jingcheng raised the wooden stick in his hand and gestured. They saw that the bottom of the wooden stick he drew was painted white.

The other three students all looked a little strange, but they still had no intention of taking action. Instead, they carefully looked at the three remaining wooden sticks in Yang Fugong's hand again.

Due to the great distance, people in the stands and around the racecourse were unaware of the drawing in the center of the racecourse. Some people began to become confused. How could a drawing of lots take so long?

Yang Fugong seemed to be running out of patience, and his expression gradually changed from serious to stern.

He no longer cared about the students who were still staring at the wooden stick in his hand but did not take any action. Instead, he directly extended the hand holding the wooden stick to the student from the War Wolf Knights team who had the darkest skin among the three.

Seeing Yang Fugong's stern face and the three wooden sticks handed to him, the student looked embarrassed. Finally, he couldn't stand the pressure anymore, stretched out his hand, and pulled out a wooden stick.

When he saw that the bottom of the wooden stick was painted black, he seemed relieved. This did not seem to be different from the result he had expected.

Seeing that the Wolf Warriors had completed the draw, the remaining two seemed to become even more nervous, but then they heard Yang Fugong's voice, which startled them both.

"Don't waste any more time, both of you come together!"

Then Yang Fugong stretched out his hand holding the wooden stick between the two of them.

Both of them looked a little embarrassed, but when they saw Yang Fugong staring at them with a sharp gaze, they could not stand the pressure anymore and finally stretched out their hands at the same time and took away the two remaining wooden sticks in Yang Fugong's hand.

When the two saw the color of the bottom of the wooden sticks in their hands, they both had stunned expressions.

Yang Fugong confirmed the color of the wooden sticks in the hands of the two people, and without paying attention to their stunned looks, he immediately raised the copper loudspeaker in his hand and loudly announced the result of the draw.

"The Imperial Academy Tiangang Team and Fenghuo Xiaoqi Team drew white lots and are divided into a group. They will compete for one qualifying spot on the left side of the racecourse. The Black Armor Iron Cavalry Team and the War Wolf Knights drew black lots and are divided into a group. They will compete for another qualifying spot on the right side of the racecourse."

Suddenly there was a cheer at the scene, but the face of the handicap dealer sitting in the stands changed, his face became gloomy, and he snapped his fingers. Then the follower behind him walked up to him and put his ear close to him.

The dealer just whispered a few words into the follower's ear with a cold look, and then the follower left quickly.

Seeing that Liang Jingcheng had drawn the relatively slender and small Fenghuo Cavalry, everyone in the Guozi Tiangang Team was delighted. Although the slender Fenghuo Cavalry were more agile, their weakness in strength was also relatively more obvious.

Compared with the fierce War Wolf Knights and the powerful Black Armor Cavalry Team, being grouped with the agile Fenghuo Cavalry Team is indeed a very advantageous grouping for the Guozi Tiangang Team.

The bad premonition in Liang Jingcheng's heart disappeared as soon as he drew the Fenghuo Cavalry Team, but he always felt that someone was staring at him with a cold look, or rather, staring at the entire Guozi Tiangang Team.

"Jing Cheng really drew a good lot for our Guozi Tiangang team. Our chances of advancing against the Fenghuo Xiaoqi team have increased a lot."

Ao Chong'an patted Liang Jingcheng's shoulder excitedly, as if he was getting ready for a good fight.

At this time, Yang Fugong held up the large copper loudspeaker in his hand and spoke loudly.

"Please all participating teams enter their preparation areas. The competition is about to begin."

Ye Changyan and his group came to their preparation area, leading their horses, and walked towards the racing field on the left side of the racecourse.

The players of the Guozi Tiangang team who will appear on the field this time are still Ao Chong'an, Fan Tao, Lu Xiaotong and Liang Jingcheng. Ye Changyan is a substitute, waiting outside the preparation area.

Soon, several teams entered their respective preparation areas and waved to the starter to indicate that they were ready. The starter swung the gong hammer in his hand and struck it hard. A crisp gong sound spread out, and the server players on both sides of the polo field threw the ball into the air at the same time.

At the same time, Yang Fugong took a stick of incense that had just been lit and inserted it into the incense burner beside him.

The Guozi Tiangang team was composed of Liang Jingcheng, who rode the white horse Chuixue, and Fan Tao, who rode a red and white horse, as the main attackers. Ao Chongan, who rode a black horse, and Lu Xiaotong, who rode a black and white horse, served as defenders.

The Guozi Tiangang team on the field wore uniform crimson polo uniforms, while the opposing Fenghuo Xiaoqi team wore uniform indigo polo uniforms.

I saw a red figure riding a white horse, pulling the reins hard. The white horse raised its front hooves, and the red figure swung the club. With a graceful arc, he passed the ball thrown high into the air by the server in the direction of another red figure.

The scene suddenly erupted in warm cheers, and the games on both sides officially began.

The crowd outside the racecourse and the students of the Imperial Academy inside the carriage, the people surrounding the left area, all focused their attention on the left field, while the people surrounding the right area, naturally, all stared at the ball on the right field.

The officials and nobles in the stands naturally stared at the field closer to them, while the King of England and the three princes sitting in the middle looked here and there, as if the games on both sides were quite exciting and they did not want to miss any wonderful moments.

Mr. Cai and his disciples happened to be sitting near the left side of the playing field. They were all staring excitedly at the players riding their horses and chasing each other on the field.

When Fubao saw Liang Jingcheng grab the ball, he couldn't help but shout loudly. Hearing this, Shanbao, Guangdi and Furong on the side also had excited faces and soon joined in the shouting.
