Chapter 344: Killing
Seeing the eldest prince's lecturing look, the second prince felt angry, but he still had to put on an appearance of a brother who was being taught a lesson.
The second prince complained in his heart, if the Guozi Tiangang team lost, the eldest prince's loss would only be a matter of one thousand taels. If the Guozi Tiangang team won, then he would suffer a huge loss by opening the handicap. He still hadn't received any definite news about who placed the heavy bet of twenty thousand taels.
The second prince secretly observed the eldest and third brothers who were sitting next to him. These two had the financial resources, but they might not have such a gambling nature. From what he observed, the two of them behaved very calmly throughout the whole process, and it did not seem like they had placed a huge bet of 20,000 taels.
The fourth brother is a taciturn person. Not to mention whether he has the financial resources to do so, his aloof personality means he never likes to get involved in these matters.
After ruling out the possibility of his three brothers, the Second Prince felt more at ease. As long as the three of them didn't find out that he was opening a betting position with others and quietly got involved to disrupt the situation, it would be fine.
The Second Prince was furious when he saw many officials and nobles standing up in the stands to cheer for the Guozi Tiangang Team. He was sure that many of these people were like the eldest prince, who had followed the trend and placed bets. These people were all wealthy men, and seeing how they were all so selfless that they didn't even care about their own identity and status, they must have bet a lot.
At this time, the incense stick in the incense burner was less than half a finger's length left. Ye Changyan gestured to several teammates, and then saw Ao Chong'an coming to the serving area.
The Wolf Warrior Knights were exhausted by the Guozi Tiangang team's fast break and quick play, but the score had been tied by the opponent, who also had the serve. The morale of the Wolf Warrior Knights was almost completely suppressed by the opponent.
The Wolf Knights can only try to drag the game out until the gong sounds, when the two sides are tied at 5-5 and will go into overtime. This way, they can buy some rest time for their team and interrupt the fast break and quick play rhythm of the Guozi Tiangang team.
The most important thing is that it gives the dealer the opportunity to find a way to change the situation, otherwise he would have no chance at all.
Ye Changyan saw the formation of the opponent and it seemed that they were determined to defend the backcourt, probably wanting to drag the game into overtime.
According to the rules, overtime will be a brand new game. The team that scores three points first within the limited time will win.
The opponent seems to want to interrupt our current strong momentum. It has to be said that such a strategy is the best choice for the Wolf Knights at present.
But although Lu Xiaotong's words in his ear were very low and light, Ye Changyan still heard them clearly. Moreover, the thought that surged in his heart was that he must not let the opponent drag the game into overtime, otherwise what happened to Lu Xiaotong would most likely happen again to other teammates.
Ye Changyan looked at the few incense sticks left in the incense burner again, took a deep breath, and nodded to Ao Chong'an in the serving area.
Then Ao Chong'an swung the club in his hand and hit the ball into the inner court, passing it to Ye Changyan.
The four players of the Wolf Warriors team were all nervous when they saw Ye Changyan control the ball, and they couldn't guess who he would pass the ball to.
Ye Changyan took the ball and squeezed Hongying's horse's belly hard. He looked left and right while gradually running towards the midfield. Under the attention of the whole audience, Ye Changyan made a flying pass and passed the ball to Liang Jingcheng in the middle.
The members of the Wolf Warriors team, as if facing a formidable enemy, immediately turned their horses' heads and guarded closely against Liang Jingcheng.
Liang Jingcheng had the ball, but was guarded very closely by the Wolf Warriors Knights. He could not find any chance to attack, so he had to pass the ball to Fan Tao on the far right.
Upon seeing this, the Wolf Warriors immediately changed their formation and defended Fan Tao's attacking route. Fan Tao ran with the ball for a while but didn't find any chance to attack, so he swung the club hard and passed the ball towards Ao Chong'an on the far left.
The Wolf Warriors suffered a loss like this in the last round. They never expected that Ao Chong'an, who was guarding in the backcourt, would suddenly receive the ball and deal a fatal blow to their team. They must not let Ao Chong'an succeed again this time.
"Jing Cheng!"
Just as the Wolf Warriors quickly changed their formation and were defending in the direction of Ao Chong'an on the left, they heard Ye Changyan shouting.
Liang Jingcheng suddenly exerted force and pounced towards Ao Chongan.
Seeing Liang Jingcheng rushing over quickly, the War Wolf Knights felt uneasy. The four of them split into two groups, two to defend Ao Chong'an, and the other two to defend Liang Jingcheng, who posed a great threat.
Little did they know that Ye Changyan was taking advantage of the Wolf Warriors' inexplicable fear of Liang Jingcheng to provide cover. When Liang Jingcheng was running towards Ao Chong'an, Ye Changyan, wearing a red polo uniform, sat astride the maroon horse Hongying and galloped towards Liang Jingcheng's original area like a flash of lightning.
Ao Chong'an received the ball without hesitation. He swung the club hard and hit the ball towards the area where Ye Changyan was about to reach.
There was an uproar at the scene, and by the time the four members of the Wolf Warrior Knights reacted, it was already too late.
The red lightning flashed at lightning speed and met the polo ball at the place where Liang Jingcheng was originally standing. Amid the exclamations from the audience, Ye Changyan swung the cue and hit the polo ball without hesitation.
The polo ball was hit hard by Ye Changyan and flew directly towards the goal of the undefended War Wolf Knights team.
Suddenly, there were cheers and shouts like a landslide and tsunami at the scene, which seemed to tear the sky above their heads apart.
Just after the polo ball flew into the Wolf Knights' goal, the last wisp of smoke from the incense stick in the incense burner finally dissipated.
“Boring…”
Along with the clear sound of gongs, the entire East Suburb Royal Horse Farm turned into a sea of joy. Cheers and shouts were heard everywhere. Many people who followed the trend and bet on the Guozi Tiangang team were already dancing with joy.
This attracted the people nearby and they couldn't help but dance along.
When Liang Jingcheng saw the polo ball shot into the goal of the Wolf Knights by Ye Changyan's fierce hit, he couldn't suppress the ecstasy in his heart. He jumped off his horse and ran straight towards Ye Changyan.
The moment he saw the polo ball fly into the opponent's goal, Ye Changyan felt as if he had deflated his whole body. His tense nerves suddenly relaxed and he felt a little light. He slowly got off the horse and the sense of solidity he felt with his feet on the ground seemed to have been missing for a century.
