Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Arrow Misses

There is no surprise, the White Bird Academy is on vacation as scheduled, how to say that the academy also has more than 100 talents who are ready to participate in the imperial court examination, and the students of their own academy participate in the scientific examination, of course, the academy teachings cannot be left alone, and now the top priority of the academy is to ensure that these talents successfully pass the examination and become a lifter, if someone can become the Xie Yuan of this session, it will be even better.

In the early morning, in front of the south gate of Bianliang, Tokyo, it is still so lively, with an endless stream of pedestrians and businessmen, and at the corner of the tall city wall, there are two handsome young men who linger, as if waiting for someone.

"Broken promises." After waiting for a while, Chu Jue scolded coldly, but there was no impatience.

"Don't worry, with Caiqing's temperament, it will definitely come as promised." Chu Zhen said with a smile, the sound of ticking hooves, and the countless livestock carrying all kinds of goods in and out of the city gate, the two of them didn't pay much attention to it.

"Keep you two waiting."

Gao Shilin's slightly unintentional voice came, Chu Zhen and Chu Jue heard the prestige, but they were a little stunned, what surprised the two of them was not that Gao Shilin was dressed in silver today, but the red horse he sat on.

"Caiqing, where did you get this horse?" Chu asked, reaching out to touch the horse's neck, but hearing a neigh, the horse seemed to have spirituality, and gently shook its head, avoiding Chu Qian's hand.

"Of course it's ......, borrowed from someone." Gao Shilin jumped off the horse and said with a smile, there was something untrue in his words.

"It's still talented that he can borrow a military horse, which makes people have to admire." Chu Zhen said with a smile, you must know that since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, the sixteen states of Youyan in the north have never been recaptured, and the Great Song Dynasty, which has lost its horse breeding base, has always been in short supply of horses, and it used to be possible to buy some from the northwest, but since Li Yuanhao established the Western Xia Kingdom, the control over horses has been strengthened, which has made the shortage of horses in the Great Song Dynasty even worse.

If the people want to transport goods or travel basically rely on cattle and donkeys, horses are very scarce, the rich and noble families in Bianliang City, most of the horses pulling the cart are the old, weak, sick and disabled, the real good horses and horses are generally requisitioned by the imperial court, and now the horse brought by Gao Shilin, look at its form reaction to know the trained military horse.

"Hehe, it's not too early, where is Jing Chun going to go hunting?" Gao Shilin smiled and didn't answer, but asked about Chu Qian, patted the bow on his back, and said confidently: "Today, the two of you only need to watch, and I am responsible for all the prey." ”

Autumn season, is all kinds of animals grow the fattest time, in ancient times because of the long years of war, no technology, farmland yield is not high, food shortage, naturally there is a safari this activity, gradually formed a tradition, to the present, the Great Song Dynasty is still peaceful, heavy literature and light martial arts, and the original martial arts safari activities slowly transformed into literati elegant behavior, not so much safari, but play more accurate.

"Go to Xiangfu County, then everything will depend on Caiqing." Chu Zhen said with a smile.

"No problem." Gao Shilin smiled, led the horse and prepared to go out of the city, but found that the reins were pulled by Chu Jue.

"Give me the horse, and you won't have to apologize." Ignoring Gao Shilin's puzzled expression, Chu Jue said seriously, with a hint of desire in his eyes.

"Wenyu, this can't be done, you have never ridden a horse, if you accidentally fall down, you will be in trouble." Gao Shilin shook his head vigorously, and cast a pleading gaze at Chu Zhi, it was not a joke to fall off the horse, the nose and face were swollen if it was light, and the body might be disabled if it was heavy.

"Caiqing, you lead the horse in front, I'll watch from the side, it's good to let Wenyu experience it." After groaning, he found that Chu Jue's clear eyes gradually dimmed, and Chu Zhen immediately made a decision.

"It works." Seeing the joy in Chu Jue's heart, as well as Chu Qian's hints, Gao Shilin didn't insist anymore, helped Chu Jue, who was a little compelled to do so, onto the horse, and slowly walked forward with the reins in front of him.

On the official road to Xiangfu County, the morning breeze was blowing, the horse's hooves were ticking, and he was used to the bumps and ups on horseback, Chu Jue, who was a little nervous, slowly settled down, straightened his chest, and unconsciously a smile appeared between his lips, which even he didn't notice.

"I want to be a handsome son, but now I have become a groom, and I spread it, where will my son's face go." Gao Shilin secretly felt sorry for himself in his heart, and suddenly saw Chu Jue's heartfelt smile when he twisted his head, and after being stunned slightly, his mood became more comfortable, and the pace of moving forward was much faster.

At the foot of an unknown mountain peak in Xiangfu County, the lush green color is rolling in the mountains, all kinds of prey are faintly visible among the trees and grasses, and a few rows of geese or other birds pass in the sky from time to time.

Whoosh, swish, swish, I saw a few glittering feathered arrows sink into the grass, and a figure ran quickly, and after a moment came out dejectedly.

"A hundred steps through the Yang, the arrow is not in vain." Chu Jue said coldly, with a hint of mockery in his eyes.

"It was just an accident, an accident." Gao Shilin was furious and was about to argue a few words, but when he saw a few arrows that were not stained with the slightest trace of blood, and then looked at the bamboo basket next to Chu Zhi, his arrogance suddenly shrank back.

"Caiqing, this is your first accident?" Chu Zhen chuckled and said: "Look at Brother Li, except for one miss just now because of your 'accident', but all the arrows were hit." ”

"The quality boy has won the award." Li Qi, a strong man with a bow and arrow in his hand and a somewhat honest appearance, grinned.

"I remember when I was at the city gate just now, I don't know who said that he was responsible." The corners of Chu Jue's mouth moved, and he said softly: "If it weren't for the second brother's preparations, I'm afraid I would have returned in vain today." ”

"It's all because I went out in a hurry and didn't bring the hunting eagle dog, otherwise I can let you know how powerful this son is." Gao Shilin said with a sad face, rubbing his arm a little unnaturally.

"Caiqing, needless to say." Chu Zhen waved his hand and smiled: "I know that you are compassionate and don't want to bully the weak, the few arrows just now must have been deliberately shot by you." ”

"That's the reason, or Jing Chun knows me." Regardless of the contempt in Chu Jue's eyes, Gao Shilin seemed to have found a life-saving straw, nodded and said, "Today I believe in Buddhism and don't want to kill." ”

"There seems to be a rabbit over there, I'll take a look." Believing in Buddhism is still a day, Li Qiqiang couldn't help but laugh, found an excuse to leave in a hurry, afraid that he couldn't bear it, and laughed loudly, although he was honest by nature, but Li Qi also knew that the identities of these three people were not ordinary, it didn't matter if they joked with each other, he was not just a small step archer in the county government, where was he qualified to participate in it.
