Maybe she knew that she was timid and not good at riding horses. After all, the first time they rode horses, she chose the smallest horse. She always did this. I think she would choose the smallest one today. It seems that Shen Wanru really understands her.

Shen Wanqing smiled self-deprecatingly, but was speechless in her heart towards Shen Wanru.

When Shen Wanqing arrived at the competition venue, she saw a new member of Xuanyuan Qiaoer's team - Du Zhijie.

"General Du... General Du?"

Shen Wanqing was very surprised that he appeared here today. After all, the eldest princess invited many young ladies but very few young men.

"Du Zhijie?"

"It's him?"

At this, Xiao Chenyang, the son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, raised his eyebrows and was also quite surprised. "Why is he on the stage?"

Among all these young masters, one more person was still going to go on stage, but he got to go on stage first.

Du Zhijie's appearance put a lot of pressure on the young masters who hadn't yet played. Xiao Chenyang looked solemn, thinking that if anyone in their group showed up, this match would definitely be exciting.

After all, some of the young masters here, while skilled in archery and horsemanship, were not particularly adept at polo, and were not familiar with the rules and regulations of such matches. At least, they were not as skilled as Du Zhijie, who had grown up on horseback.

"Ha ha........"

Du Zhijie, who was standing opposite, also looked at Shen Wanqing. He immediately smiled and said, "Fourth Miss, hello!"

However, Shen Wanqing felt a little sad about Du Zhijie's greeting.

"Du Zhijie...why...why are you on stage?"

It is obvious that Shen Wanqing still admires Du Zhijie's polo skills. At least among these many young men, he is the most capable one.

In response to this, Xiao Chenyang could only roll his eyes behind the group of young masters, feeling very dissatisfied.

Shen Wanqing looked at Du Zhijie and asked with a guilty conscience, "If...if we were rivals, then you...you're clearly bullying me!"

Because Shen Wanqing and Du Zhijie have a good relationship. If they stood on opposite sides today, and the whole capital knew that Du Zhijie was very skilled, then such a trivial polo match would be no problem for him.

His level is a fact recognized by everyone.

Right now, if Du Zhijie were to play, Shen Wanqing would definitely lose.

"hehe!"

Du Zhijie found Shen Wanqing's aggrieved expression amusing, so he didn't wait for Miss Yu Rou from the Duke's Mansion to speak: "Well, since we are old acquaintances, I won't use my full strength!"

After all, Du Zhijie came to the polo match today not to win anyone, but what he cared about most was his future wife.

What's more, he had originally intended to help Xuanyuan Qiaoer so that he could realize his plan. Now he could find a reason to give in so that his purpose would not seem so obvious.

So, Du Zhijie looked at Shen Wanqing, Xuanyuan Qiaoer, Xiao Chenyang and the others, and said with a smile, "How about this, for the sake of fairness, I'll let you two balls first."

Du Zhijie took the club in his hand and explained, "I'm being asked to do this. Since I've already agreed to the Duke's request to win the prize for his adopted daughter, I can't break my promise. It's only fair that I let you two balls."

"Ah! This....can't do!"

Yu Rou from the Duke's Mansion had a smug smile on her face just now, but after hearing what Du Zhijie said, she immediately became anxious!

"General Du, since Daddy asked you to help me win the prize, you must do your best. You can't do this."

Yu Rou persuaded anxiously while turning around to look for a more suitable candidate.

However, it was also a coincidence that Zhang Yuanfeng had come anxiously to find Du Zhijie. The two of them were superiors and subordinates in the barracks, but outside, they were close friends who shared everything. He and the Duke approached from a distance; otherwise, the Duke would probably have kept Zhang Yuanfeng at the chessboard, leaving him no chance to play polo.

"Huh? What?"

"Are you doubting my skills?"

The Duke was still not far away and had no time to speak, but Du Zhijie frowned in mock displeasure and said, "If you don't believe me, then you can just replace me with someone else.

"Why don't you just change someone else to form a team."

As he said that, Du Zhijie turned over and dismounted, ready to leave the arena directly.

“Ah! Ah!!”

"Don't! Don't, Zhijie!"

At this moment, the Duke happened to hear these words, so he hurried forward a few steps and anxiously stopped him: "My dear nephew Zhijie, my daughter was just joking. She doesn't distrust your skills at all."

The Duke held Du Zhijie back, preventing him from leaving, while secretly giving Yu Rou a look: "Just shut up for now. Who the hell is Du Zhijie? Don't you even believe in his polo skills?"

After receiving a look from her adoptive father and considering Du Zhijie's past reputation, Yu Rou finally changed her tune: "General Du, what I said just now was unintentional. Please be magnanimous and don't take it to heart."

"I believe that even if General Du lets them score two goals, they will still be the most powerful person in this game!"

Yu Rou forced a smile and tried her best to flatter.

There was no other way. After all, Yu Mao was loved by the old lady of the Duke's Mansion. She was the only daughter of the Duke's Mansion. Although she was not the Duke's biological daughter, she had been raised in the Duke's Mansion since she was a child. The Duke must have come here today because of the old lady's request.

It was her first time flattering someone, so I think she must have felt a little embarrassed.

"Ah."

Hearing Yu Rou's softened tone, Du Zhijie also raised an eyebrow, "Okay, since we've decided, let's get started!"

It's true, the director in the field had been looking at the two teams with an attitude of wanting to say something but hesitated. If it weren't for their special status, he would have said something a long time ago.

On the other hand, Zhang Yuanfeng originally wanted to join Du Zhijie in a group and have a good fight, but after seeing the Duke's Mansion, he gave up the idea.

"Mr. Xiao!"

At this time, Shen Wanqing seemed to have changed her mind and directly called up Xiao Chenyang in front of her.

"when......."

Without waiting for Xiao Chenyang to reply, Si Zheng in the distance finally struck the gong in his hand to give orders.

“The game begins…”

“Knock, knock…”

In an instant, eight teams of people rushed out and took quick action.

"Bang!"

Du Zhijie really gave up two goals, and when he kicked off the game for the second time, the polo ball unexpectedly fell under Shen Wanqing's stick. Seeing this, Shen Wanqing naturally seized the opportunity and quickly drove her horse towards her team's goal, ready to score the first goal of the game and tie the score with the other team.

"Quick! General Du, come on!"

As soon as she arrived on the court, Zhao Yurou's true nature was immediately revealed. She began to shout and command Du Zhijie, asking him to stop the ball from Shen Wanqing's club.
