Xue Ne took Pei Min to walk in the horse market, and the people around him were either nobles in fresh clothes and angry horses, or sloppy and dirty horsemen. Because the horse market has the unique feces and horses of livestock, ordinary people stay away, and there seem to be only these two extremes here, and the buyers of horses are high rollers, and the horsemen who sell horses, even horse dealers will not stay in this kind of place for a long time......

Pei Min looked at the horses of different heights and colors around him, almost dazzled, and understood the reason why Xue Ne brought him here, and looked at Xue Ne walking in front of him with some emotion. With Xue Ne's status and status, he doesn't want him at all, just a simple appreciation. Because of this, Pei Min faintly experienced the feeling of the ancients dying as a confidant.

"In the Wuke period, for the sake of fairness and justice, all horses and bows and arrows were provided by the government. Soma also became particularly important to know the bow. Xue Ne walked in front and couldn't stop saying: "Even if you embark on a career in office, it's good to have one more skill." Don't seek to become a famous horse teacher like Bole, at least a good horse is in front of you, you have to know how good it is, and know where it is good. ”

Pei Min listened humbly.

"Just like this ......" Xue Ne pointed to a fat black horse lying on the ground, "what do you think of this one?" ”

Pei Min glanced up and down, showed a bad expression, and shook his head violently.

Xue Ne smiled and said, "Look at the wrong eyes, you can't judge people by their appearance." Horses are different, and horses should be judged by their appearance. The characteristics of a horse are directly present in it...... You can see that this horse has sharp teeth, and you can see that it can be eaten at a glance. Eat more, grow stronger, children understand the truth. This is the most superficial soma technique, don't look at it fat and lazy, it is precisely because of fat that it can withstand hunger, it is precisely because of laziness that it knows how to rest to be able to run for a long time. Every horse, regardless of its breed, has its own strengths and weaknesses. This horse is the most common breed of horse, but when it comes to running, it can't outrun my meandering horse than it does over long distances. Looking at this ......" he pointed to a skinny foal beside him, and said, "Look at its nose, the nose is thick, and the Book of Horses says that if the nose is big, the lungs will be big, and if the lungs are big, it can run, so this horse must be good at running short distances." This kind of horse will definitely turn around and run away in fright, but it can't compare to the speed of my river meandering horse, but it should be a point faster than your little chestnut hair. ”

Xue Ne led Pei Min from the streets of the horse market to the end of the street, and he analyzed almost every horse, whether good or bad.

Pei Min opened his eyes, he couldn't imagine that Soma was still a profound knowledge, and there was so much knowledge that needed to be understood.

After visiting the horse market, Xue Ne took Pei Min to his residence in Chang'an, took out the bows and arrows treasured in the mansion, and taught him the skills of identifying bows and arrows.

It wasn't until dark that he returned to the house, Pei Min was not in a hurry to sleep, ran the horse three more times, and practiced riding and shooting for most of the hour, until his arm was really sore, and he couldn't open his bow, and then stopped. Liu Shenwei had already pinched the time to prepare a hot medicated bath for him, and with the help of the medicated bath, Pei Min woke up almost full of blood the next morning.

Without any hesitation, he walked to the martial arts arena as always, but this time Pei Min did not have in-depth training but stopped at a shallow taste, looking for the state and feeling of riding and shooting.

After breakfast, Pei Min said goodbye to Xue Ne, Liu Shenwei, and Sun Pu and walked to the military headquarters.

The imperial examination began in the Wu Zetian period, but in the final analysis, it was only a whim of Wu Zetian, and it was not valued by the imperial court. There will be no activities such as the Qujiang Banquet and the Wild Goose Pagoda inscription. It is not an exaggeration to say that no one cares.

Pei Min came to the military department, and only then did he know how deserted the martial arts examination was. In his memory, when he participated in the imperial examination, nearly 3,000 people gathered at the gate of Shangshu Province. Among them, there were 2,000 candidates, and the rest were the parents of nearby candidates or ordinary people watching the excitement, and now in front of him, except for the six soldiers guarding the door of the military headquarters, the entire street was empty.

"It can't be a mistake, right?" Pei Min looked at the word "Ministry of War" on the plaque hanging high, and even had such doubts.

"What do you see, military land, idlers are not allowed to enter!" One of the soldiers shouted in amazement.

Pei Min saw that the soldiers were majestic, and suddenly realized in his heart that the status of the military department was not as high as that of Shangshu Province, but the people's fear of the military department was obviously greater than that of Shangshu Province.

Pei Min walked closer and was about to take out his identification.

The soldier looked at Pei Min in a daze, and suddenly exclaimed, "Are you Pei Min?" ”

Pei Min was happy, he didn't expect that his popularity was not low, and the soldiers guarding the door of the military department knew about him, and said with a smile: "It's down!" ”

The soldier changed his smile and said: "The original Wenqu Xing is here, Guo Shangshu has been chattering for a while, Xiao Liu, bring Wen Qu Xing in." Saying that, he instructed Pei Min: "The military department belongs to the military area, and there are many secrets that cannot be broken into. Follow Xiao Liu well, he will take you to report. ”

Pei Min divided the weight and said cautiously: "Don't worry, little brother, I know." With that, he followed the man named Xiao Liu into the military department.

Xiao Liu was a tall and thin soldier with a serious personality, and he didn't say a word along the way, just strictly executed the order, and led Pei Min around the huge military residence.

Came to a compound, Xiao Liu faced the guards at the gate of the compound, and saluted: "Excuse me, Pei Minte ......" Before he finished speaking, a hoarse voice from the hall had already sounded: "Let him come in!" ”

Xiao Liu made a gesture of please.

Pei Min was a little confused, and after thinking about it, he walked into the compound.

In front of the eyes is a vast courtyard, a thin old man is bare-chested, playing a set of unknown boxing, boxing is very bad, like the eight or nine-year-old Fang Gan martial arts boy, but the old man is playing very seriously, with a solemn face.

Pei Min couldn't be disturbed, so he could only stand aside and wait, but he was inexplicable in his heart, and secretly speculated, "Could this little old man be Dou Chen, isn't it, a lot of age, to be a foreigner?" ”

"You are Pei Min whom Brother Xue often talks about, and you really have a good look!"

The little old man stopped and looked at Pei Min with burning eyes.

Pei Min's brain was shocked, and he looked at the unattractive little old man in front of him with a bit of incredulity, and realized his identity: where is he Dou Chen, a member of the military department, and he is obviously Guo Yuanzhen, the boss of the military department.

The Tang Dynasty Zhi General who used a divisive plan to kill the Tubo god of war and Qinling, caused civil strife in Tubo, and consolidated the defense of Liangzhou, operated the Western Regions, and made great achievements...... Guo Yuanzhen!
