Becoming a literary master starting from the story of Minglan

Chapter 132 Come on stage
When Minglan and her brother arrived at their preparation position for the competition, they suddenly saw a new member in Yu Yanhong's team—Gu Tingye.

"Uncle Gu... Uncle Gu?"

Minglan was somewhat surprised!

"Gu Tingye?"

"It's him?"

Sheng Changquan raised an eyebrow, quite surprised: "Why did he go on stage?"

Sheng Changquan's expression was somewhat solemn, feeling that if this person were to take the field, the competition would likely become quite difficult.

After all, although Sheng Changquan was skilled in archery and horsemanship, he was not proficient in polo and was not very clear about some of the rules and techniques. At the very least, he was not as good as Gu Tingye, a "prodigy of the brothels".

"Ha ha……"

Gu Tingye, who was opposite them, also saw Minglan and her brother, and immediately greeted them with a smile: "Minglan, Changquan, hello!"

However, Minglan felt somewhat uncomfortable with Gu Tingye's greeting.

"Second Uncle Gu, why...why did you get on the field?"

It's clear that Minglan admires Gu Tingye's skills, and at the very least, she has more confidence in them than in Sheng Changquan's.

In response, Sheng Changquan could only roll his eyes behind his older sister's back, expressing his dissatisfaction.

Minglan looked at Gu Tingye, and asked somewhat guiltily, "If...if you were to compete with us, wouldn't that be bullying us?"

Because Sheng Changbai and Gu Tingye had a very close relationship, Minglan and the others also had a decent relationship with Gu Tingye. Most importantly, everyone in Bianliang knew that Gu Tingye was the best at polo and pitch-pot!
This is a fact that everyone acknowledges.

If Gu Tingye were to take the field now, wouldn't Minglan and the others be destined to lose?

"hehe!"

Seeing Minglan's aggrieved look, Gu Tingye found it amusing, so without waiting for Yu Yanhong to react, he spoke up: "Alright, since Changbai and I are good brothers, I won't bully you siblings!"

After all, he and Sheng Changbai had such a good relationship, how could he possibly bully his younger brother and sister?
Moreover, he originally intended to help Yu Yanran achieve her goals, so he naturally needed to find a reason to give way to them so that his true intentions would not be revealed.

So, looking at Minglan and Sheng Changquan, who were like two children, Gu Tingye said with a smile, "How about this, to be fair, I'll fight you with my left hand!"

As Gu Tingye switched the cue stick from his right hand to his left, he explained, "I'm doing this on someone's behalf. Since I've already promised Brother Hongyuan to win this golden hairpin for Sister Yanhong, I can't break my promise. So, I'll compete with you like this!"

"Huh? No!"

Yu Yanhong hadn't been gloating for long when she saw Gu Tingye's actions, and she immediately became anxious!

"Second Brother Gu, you can't go easy on me like this!"

Even if you're an excellent polo player, you can't play with your left hand!

While anxiously trying to persuade her, Yu Yanhong turned to look for her older brother, hoping he would come and help.

However, it was also a coincidence that Qi Heng was in a hurry to explain to Minglan and the others, so he insisted on bringing Yu Hongyuan over from a distance. Otherwise, Yu Hongyuan would probably still be keeping Qi Heng at the doctor's place, not giving him a chance to play.

"Huh? What?"

"You don't believe in my abilities?"

Yu Hongyuan was still not far away and hadn't had a chance to speak, but Gu Tingye first frowned, feigning displeasure: "If you don't believe me, then you don't need to call me up!"

"Why don't you just find someone else to team up with!"

With that, Gu Tingye was about to give up and dismount to leave.

“Ah! Ah!!”

"No! No, Zhong Huai!" Just then, Yu Hongyuan overheard these words and hurriedly limped over from a distance, anxiously trying to stop him, saying, "Zhong Huai, my sister was just joking. How could she not believe you?"

While holding onto Gu Tingye to prevent him from leaving, Yu Hongyuan secretly winked at Yu Yanhong—"Little sister, just shut up. Don't you trust Gu Tingye's skills?"

Having received a signal from her brother and considering Gu Tingye's past reputation, Yu Yanhong finally changed her tune: "Second Brother Gu, of course I believe you!"

"Please be magnanimous and don't hold this against me!"

"I believe that even if you play polo with your left hand, Brother Gu, you're still the best on the field!"

Yu Yanhong forced a smile, trying her best to flatter him, but somewhat awkwardly.

There was nothing she could do; Yu Yanhong had always been pampered at home and had never flattered anyone like that before.
The first time, it's inevitable that some things will be unbearable.

"Ah."

Hearing that Yu Yanhong had backed down, Gu Tingye raised an eyebrow and said, "Alright, since you've made up your mind, let's get started!"

To be honest, the judge in the arena had been watching the two teams with a heavy heart, and if it weren't for their extraordinary status, they probably would have spoken up long ago.

Meanwhile, Qi Heng also tried to explain to Minglan, but before he could finish, Sheng Changquan interrupted him.

Sheng Changquan rode his horse a few steps, directly blocking Qi Heng's gaze from looking at Minglan.

"Brother!"

At this moment, Minglan seemed to have changed her mind and actually called out to Sheng Changquan in front of her.

but!

"Alright, young master."

Sheng Changquan ignored Qi Heng and said without a smile, "The competition is about to begin. Please return to the safe zone as soon as possible, young master."

"Changquan, you..."

Looking at Sheng Changquan, who kept everyone at arm's length, Qi Heng no longer felt the frustration he used to feel, because he now knew Minglan's feelings and understood that she had feelings for him.

"Dang~"

Before Qi Heng could finish speaking, Si Zheng, who was in the distance, finally struck the gong in his hand.

"The match begins!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

In an instant, eight teams rushed out, moving swiftly like arrows.

"Bang!"

During the kickoff, the polo ball unexpectedly landed under Minglan's mallet. Seeing this, Minglan naturally seized the opportunity and quickly spurred her horse towards her own goal, preparing for a winning start and directly leveling the score with the Yellow Team.

"Quick! Second Brother Gu, get up there!"

Once on the field, Yu Yanhong immediately reverted to her true nature, becoming bossy and shouting, ordering Gu Tingye to intercept Minglan's polo ball.

"Ha ha!"

Gu Tingye was also a man of action, and upon seeing the situation, he immediately let out a long howl!
"Okay, look at me!"

Many thanks to "Youth at Your Fingertips" for the reward and guidance. Also, I want to tell the author "Listening to the Wind and Weary Rain" that this book will probably be submitted for publication on May 1st, which should be possible...
