It was getting late, and a large convoy was stationed at the official road more than ten miles away from the capital for repairs.
"Why hasn't Pan'er come back yet?"
In the core area of the convoy, there was an open space surrounded by several carriages.
At this time, Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai all got off the carriage and sat beside the campfire with worried faces on their faces, glancing toward the end of the official road from time to time.
Aunt Xue was worried and annoyed at the same time, and said dissatisfiedly: "This bastard has been out for a long time, why hasn't he come back yet?"
"Don't worry, mother, my brother is surrounded by good security guards at home!"
Although she was worried in her heart, Xue Baochai had to comfort her mother.
At this time, half a day had passed since Xue Pan left the convoy.
Originally, the distribution team full of officialdom had long since disappeared.
But when she waited until Xue Pan didn't come back, Aunt Xue got angry and hurriedly sent out guards to look for her.
However, the escort sent out was not found.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, although I was anxious and angry, I couldn't leave Xue Pan alone, so I could only camp on the spot outside the city in depression.
The night passed in the blink of an eye, Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai had been worried all night, and in the morning they had dark circles under their eyes and looked extremely tired.
While the mother and daughter were simply washing themselves under the waiters of the maid, the sound of the roar of horse hooves came from the official road at the end of their sight.
The Xue family and his party suddenly became nervous. Although this place is not far from the gate of the capital, there is nothing wrong with being cautious.
But for a moment, in the faintly illuminated field of vision, more than a dozen cavalry roared toward them in a menacing manner, giving people the illusion of thousands of troops roaring across the battlefield.
"Be careful!"
The leader of the Xue family's guard shouted, hurriedly galloped out with several horses, and took the initiative to greet them.
Before he could open his mouth to test the other party's origins, the dozen or so riders stopped on their own initiative when they were still fifty steps away from Xue's house.
A horseman broke away from the group, spurred his horse into a trot, and shouted, "Is this the Jinling Xue family's horse?"
"Exactly!"
The other party showed goodwill. The leader of the Xue family's guard secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly asked: "I wonder why you are here?"
"Xue Pan is the son of the Xue family?"
"He is my young master. Where is he now?"
"We are members of the Ningfu polo team, Mr. Xue is in the team behind!"
After a brief understanding of the situation, more than a dozen people on the opposite side separated, allowing the Xue family guards to see Xue Pan, who had turned into a pig's head, and several Xue family guards around him.
"My son, what's wrong with you?"
Xue Pan was beaten so badly that he was in a trance.
When Aunt Xue saw his miserable condition, her face suddenly changed and tears streamed down her face, and she hurriedly called the accompanying doctor to help with treatment.
Xue Baochai, through the guard leader, invited members of the Ningfu polo team to have breakfast and refresh themselves, and inquire about the specific situation.
The Ning Mansion polo team was not polite. More than a dozen riders quickly approached and handed over the horses to the servants of the Xue family for temporary care. They then picked up the breakfast sent by the Xue family and enjoyed it.
Of course, they had no intention of taking advantage of him, and quickly explained everything about Xue Pan's beating.
This guy couldn't bear the lectures from his mother and sister, and his way forward was blocked by a long distribution team. He was upset and swayed his horse around.
As a result, he ran to a polo field a few miles away.
Yesterday afternoon, a Polo League A match started.
Xue Pan is a person who loves to join in the fun. It is his first time to encounter a lively event like the polo league, which has been famous for a long time. Naturally, he has to experience it.
The Beijing Polo League has developed to this day and is naturally quite formal and fierce.
Although Xue Pan had heard of it before, unfortunately there was no soil or atmosphere for the polo league to establish itself in the south. This was his first time seeing it.
The scene of surging blood and cheers shocked him quite a bit.
Then, this guy did some things that are very common among playboys.
When the polo match was over, this guy actually went to the polo team's temporary resting place and brazenly stated that he would buy out the other team.
Ahem, among the teams that can currently compete in the Polo League A and even have good results, which one is not the treasure of the Xungui family?
Not to mention, the polo team is also a great platform for cultivating martial arts talents.
All formal members of the polo team basically have a pretty good foundation in martial arts, and it is not very difficult to pass the junior martial arts exam.
Under such circumstances, Xue Pan, a country bumpkin with an obvious foreign accent, brazenly stated that he wanted to buy the entire polo team, which was beyond comprehension.
Fortunately, Xue Pan had not yet fully shown off his brain. He knew the principle of pulling the tiger's skin to pull the flag, and showed his name early.
The Xue family, one of the four major families in Jinling, naturally cannot scare anyone.
In the realm of Jinling, the Xue family became a member of the so-called Protector Talisman due to their wealth and power, and the help of the other three major families. They were quite arrogant.
But within the confines of the capital, a mere Jinling Imperial Shang family is nothing?
Of course, as the son of the Xungui family who is in charge of the polo team, he knows that the other three of the four major families in Jinling are not easy to mess with, especially the Jia family, the representative of the Ningrong Second House.
He politely said that the polo team would never be sold, and asked Mr. Xue not to waste energy and so on.
As a result, Xue Pan saw the other party's good attitude and thought that his reputation would intimidate the other party, so he naturally became more arrogant and domineering.
He was also very arrogant when he spoke, and even said bluntly that his family had a lot of money, and no matter how high the price the other party offered, it would not be a problem.
But the director of the polo team opposite couldn't stand it. He was also an important member of the Xungui family, and he didn't need a number, otherwise he wouldn't be qualified to manage the family polo team.
Giving face to the Jia family represented by Ning Rong's second house does not mean that he has no temper.
Seeing that Xue Pan didn't know what to do and kept pestering him, he directly called the guards around him and gave Xue Pan and the losers around him a hard lesson.
After Xue Pan and his party were beaten into pig heads, they were sent to the hands of the Ning Mansion polo team who had just competed.
When the Ningfu polo team received the stunned Xue Pan and his entourage, they were also dumbfounded.
Naturally, he ignored Xue Pan's unreasonable request. It was getting late at that time, so he could only let Xue Pan spend the night in the lounge of the polo ground.
When the daylight dimmed and the polo team began to practice, half of the team was separated and came over with Xue Pan and his team.
That's what happened. After talking about it, the leader of the Ning Mansion Polo Team also specifically said that the other party was not easy to recognize. He was a new nobleman who had risen during the Emperor's reign. He lived in the Earl's Palace or in the Governor's Palace of the Fifth Army.
The kind with real power.
The meaning is very clear, just don't think about revenge or anything like that. The Xue family who just came to Beijing can't afford to bother...
