Golden Branch

Xiao Wuji handed the prisoner over to the prince, and then reported the whole incident to the saint again.

From Princess Langya's chance encounter with Lady Lu on her way to the capital, to the princess's personal guards accidentally picking up information while chatting with the Dugu family's followers, to Lou Yu and Xiao Wuji's agreement to go to Jizhou to investigate, to Xiao Wuji's personal trip to the border town to arrest the perpetrators, to Xiao Wuji's journey to the grasslands and his successful capture of the criminals and the Turkic envoys...

Xiao Wuji reported all the details truthfully.

The saint did not show any expression in front of Xiao Wuji.

He did not become emotionally unstable because of the so-called crown prince of the previous dynasty, nor was he angered by Lady Lu's "arrogance".

The sage was even pleased to express his admiration for Xiao Wuji, the son of the Xiao family: "Wuji is excellent. He has been working with the Crown Prince for many years and has done his best. This time, he successfully captured the criminal, which is a great achievement!"

If you have made a contribution, you should be rewarded!

In addition to the gold, silver, brocade and silk, the saint also promoted Xiao Wuji.

Xiao Wuji, who just turned twenty this year, was appointed by the sage as the fourth-rank General of the Right Guard.

From then on, Xiao Wuzhi became the true General Xiao.

After completing the task and receiving the reward, Xiao Wuzhi did not return home immediately.

He ordered his personal guards to send the rewards home, while he himself rode to the Longshouyuan Polo Field.

As soon as he approached the polo field, Xiao Wuji heard various sounds coming from inside.

He frowned and listened carefully for a moment, his expression becoming somewhat grim.

This polo match is actually played with martial arts?

What a bunch of ignorant dandies!

They, they were not afraid of getting hurt at all, even—

If it were just a group of outsiders, Xiao Wuzhi wouldn't care even if someone died while playing basketball.

However, at this moment, his Amian is inside!

Xiao Wuzhi knocked the stirrup hard, whipped the whip frantically, and rushed into the polo field like an arrow.

The servants guarding the entrance of the stadium instinctively wanted to stop them.

However, he discovered that the man was wearing armor and riding a horse that was a rare Dayuan horse.

This is not only a powerful person, but also a young general holding a weapon.

Can't afford it!

These slaves are not to be messed with at all.

Furthermore, the young knight was too fast and too powerful, so even if the servants dared to stop him, they couldn't!

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Wuzhi broke through the goal and rushed directly into the stadium.

On the court, players from both sides were already fighting with bloodshot eyes.

There was also some commotion among the audience in the stands.

problem occurs!

What a big deal!

Among the generations who play basketball, there are princesses, duchesses, princes, and young masters from noble families.

Even those followers are basically children of officials.

Normally, if such a noble person were to suffer a little scrape, let alone a broken arm or leg, many people would be implicated.

But this time, a fight broke out.

The cue in his hand is no longer a tool for hitting the ball, but a weapon for beating people.

Most of the young nobles who had been dressed in fine clothes just now were injured.

Even the bright and cold talented woman Wei Prajna was a little embarrassed at this moment——

Her hair was crooked, her golf club was broken, and the horse under her was staggering.

If the people around her had not protected her in time, she would have fallen off the horse and either been injured or trampled.

Even so, Wei Prajna no longer had the aloofness and elegance of a talented woman.

"Wang! Nine!"

Wei Prajna glanced at the broken golf club and gritted his teeth.

She searched carefully in the chaotic crowd and finally found that slender and beautiful figure.

Wang Heng was probably one of the few people on the golf course who still looked bright and beautiful. Her hair was not messy, her clothes were not torn, and the golf club in her hand was intact.

And her mount was as intact as she was.

Wei Prajna was unwilling to give up, so he threw away the golf club and took another one from the bag on his horse's back.

She spotted Wang Heng's position, swung her golf club, and rushed straight over.

Wang Mian and Zheng Shisan were both caught up in the melee.

However, although the two were entangled with everyone, they did not ignore Wang Heng.

Snapped!

Wang Mian held the stirrup tightly with one foot, and the other foot flew up. His whole body almost flew around on the saddle, and the golf club in his hand hit a young man and sent him flying.

Finally getting rid of the blockade of the opposing players, Wang Mian subconsciously ran towards Wang Heng.

She and Wei Prajna were running from two different directions, and when they were about to approach Wang Heng, they collided with each other.

Both horses were running very fast, so even if they noticed each other and tightened the reins immediately, it was a little too late.

Under the influence of inertia, the two horses collided violently.

Wang Mian and Wei Prajna were also pulled by the huge force and swayed from side to side on the horse's back.

Wei Prajna's hands, which were tightly gripping the reins, could not help but lose some strength, and her body tilted and she rolled off the horse.

Wang Mian was slightly better off. One of his hands was free from the reins, while the other hand and half of his body fell diagonally to the ground.

Her hair was dragging on the ground, and she was hanging upside down on the horse's back, looking very dangerous and about to fall off.

"Bitch! How dare you hurt me!"

Wei Prajna rolled twice on the ground to relieve the force of the downward rush.

She got up in a panic, no longer caring about her image as a noble lady or a cold and talented woman. Her bright face was covered with dust and her facial features were distorted.

She knew that it was Wang Mian who knocked her off the horse.

Even if the lowly common people were related to the Wang family of Yizhou and even if they were granted the title of a princess, in Wei Prajna's eyes, they were still lowly ants.

This untouchable dared to hurt her!

It would be fine if he couldn't compare to Princess Langya, but even the lackeys around her dared to be so presumptuous.

Wei Prajna completely exploded.

She looked around and found a golf club dropped by someone on the grass.

She ran over in two or three steps, picked up the golf club, and saw that Wang Mian was still half-dragged by the horse, so she gripped the golf club tightly and approached Wang Mian step by step.

"Amian!"

When Wang Heng heard the noise, she turned her head and saw the eldest daughter-in-law in this state.

Wang Heng also saw Wei Prajna with a ferocious look on her face, so she hurriedly drove her horse towards Wang Mian.

Wang Heng is secretly protected by Lou Yu, but Lou Yu doesn't care about other people.

Even if it was Wang Mian, Lou Yu might not take action.

Wang Heng had to go up by herself.

However, she was still some distance away from Wang Mian, and Wei Prajna had already raised her golf club high.

"Brother!"

Wang Heng was extremely anxious and shouted loudly without caring about exposing Lou Yu.

Whoosh!

A stone flew over from outside the field.

With a slight sound of breaking through the air, it accurately hit Wei Prajna's hand.

"Ah!" Wei Prajna cried out in pain, and her hand could not bear the pain, so she let go of the club.

Almost at the same time, a figure rushed over like lightning.

The figure directly knocked Wei Prajna away, rushed to Wang Mian, bent down, stretched out his hand, and directly picked up the upside-down figure by the waist.

"Xiao Lang?"

Wang Mian was hanging upside down, the blood rushed to his head, and he felt a little dizzy.

In a trance, she heard Ajiu's voice calling "Brother", as well as a subtle sound of breaking air and the faint sound of horse hooves.

Then, she felt someone holding her waist tightly. The next second, her eyes blurred and the upside-down image in her eyes instantly straightened up.

She felt a warm and strong chest behind her, and a pleasant sandalwood scent, which seemed a little familiar.

She quickly turned her head and met Xiao Wuzhi's handsome face.

It’s her Xiao Lang!

He is back in Beijing!

He saved her at the critical moment!

"A Mian, are you okay?"

Xiao Wuji looked up and down at the person in his arms with his beautiful eyes.

His hair was a little messy, and covered with dust and grass.

The sleeve of the clothes was torn, probably because of a scuffle with someone during a fight, which directly tore a hole.

Other parts, such as her face and hands, seemed to be uninjured.

"I'm fine! Xiao Lang, how about you? Are you doing well on this journey?"

"Let's talk about my business later! What's going on?"

Xiao Wuji knew what was important and what was not. He hugged his fiancée tightly and looked around. He found that a group of people of different generations, men and women, were fighting in a group.

The servants and guards of these minor nobles also rushed forward.

The game was already out of control, and even many spectators in the stands left the field.

Ahem, most of the people who came to watch the game were powerful and wealthy, and most of them had close or distant relatives with the boys and girls on the court.

The game turned into a fight with weapons, and there was bloodshed and injuries. The spectators could no longer continue to watch.

"Stop! Stop it all!"

Xiao Wuji had just been appointed as the Right Guard, and was also considered the guard general of the capital.

He raised a token and shouted, "Where are the Jinwu Guards and Jingzhao Prefecture? Someone come quickly and separate them!"

Xiao Wuzhi's personal guards also rushed over one after another. They drew their swords, held up their shields, formed into teams, and forcibly blocked and isolated the crowd in the melee.

Hearing the noise, the guards of the capital and the officials of Jingzhao Prefecture also rushed in to help separate the crowd.

It took a full quarter of an hour before the chaotic situation on the field was finally brought under control.

More than twenty precious N generations were either in a mess, injured or wounded.

They were all indignant. They were being controlled, but their mouths refused to keep quiet.

One of them shouted "damn thief", the other called himself "Yeah Yeah", and there was also a familiar enemy who kept exposing each other's shortcomings.

Shouting, cursing, and trying to make another appointment for the next game.

"Silence!"

Lou Yu seized the opportunity and slowly walked over from the side.

He was calm and composed. He was already elegant, handsome and aloof. In front of him was a group of boys and girls with messy hair and disheveled expressions, which made him look even more noble and indifferent.

As a bachelor, Lou Yu is the teacher of that group of noisy young men.

He was a great devil with a high status and was feared by the students. Even if he didn't shout loudly, just two simple words were enough to make everyone quiet down.

"Are you playing ball? Or are you fighting? This is the capital, this is Longshouyuan, and the emperor is right next to us, and you are still so presumptuous?"

Lou Yu has the demeanor of a righteous and strict teacher.

No one could have imagined that he looked like this. Just now, his countless stones had hit this group of N generations, making them wail and cry, and covered in wounds.

"Master, it's us who are being reckless!"

A few older boys were the first to wake up, and they hurriedly bowed and saluted.

The others also gradually regained their senses.

Those who need to admit their mistakes should admit their mistakes, those who need to ask for parents' help should ask for their parents' help, and those who need to deal with the aftermath should deal with the aftermath.

The elders from each family rushed over after hearing the news. While they were angry about their troublesome little beasts, they couldn't help but worry:

Even the princess and the prince were affected. Will this incident alarm the saint?

But soon, all the families breathed a sigh of relief:

A bigger case has occurred in the court, and the emperor is busy dealing with the treacherous ministers who colluded with the Turks. How could he have the leisure to meddle with a bunch of playboys and dandies?!

In fact, the powerful people in the capital city are still unaware that there is an even bigger trouble in the border town.

The Turks assembled 30,000 cavalry and besieged the border town.

The enemy is at the gates and a war is about to break out!
