After listening to this, Ma Hongshu was even more satisfied with Zheng Sheng's intelligence.

At this time, the eighth arrow was also shot.

"No. 1 position, eight rings, total sixty-six rings; No. 2, nine rings, a total of sixty-nine rings; No. 3, No. 7, total 58 rings, No. 4, 9 rings, total 64 rings. Group A No. 1 and No. 2 advanced to the semifinals. ”

"Rematch? What does that mean? Ma Hongshu asked.

"Because there are a lot of people participating in the fixed target competition, about forty or fifty people. There are too many people, so you can't just have a competition like a floating target, which takes too long. Therefore, it is divided into three rounds: preliminary round, semi-final, and final round, which will be held in two days. Today's preliminary round, tomorrow morning's semi-final, and afternoon's finale. ”

Ma Hongshu nodded, he quietly thought about the advantages and disadvantages of this model.

After chatting with Ma Hongshu for a while, Zheng Sheng had other things to do, so he said goodbye and left.

Ma Hongshu continued to watch the four teenagers of a new group conduct an arrow test.

Ma Hongshu found that the teenagers who tested the arrow today have high and low standards, and some have stable performances, and the arrows are above the eight or nine rings, but some shoot six or seven rings are also common.

He thought of what Zheng Sheng said, forty or fifty people participated, that is, nearly half of them participated. Ma Hongshu felt that Zheng Sheng's Tiger Guard Camp teenagers were quite enthusiastic about participating in the competition.

Why is that? Is it the competition between teenagers? Or is there a secret in it that he doesn't know?

At this time, suddenly a person dressed as a Taoist priest crowded around him and watched the competition on the field with great interest. He also nodded from time to time.

Ma Hongshu immediately thought of the origin of this person: Isn't he the other trouble that Lao Zhang said and appeared on the road with him, that Fang Shi?

However, Ma Hongshu did not have a bad feeling towards him, made a greeting to the visitors, and continued to watch the game.

But Mr. Fang Shi is very good at climbing up the pole, "Hello, little brother." As you can see, I am a Yuan Fangshi from Xicheng Mountain, I look at your face, and it is easy to calculate and know, you have been doing things badly recently! Yuan Fangshi suddenly raised his tone in surprise, and even said that everything was not going well.

But this set couldn't deceive Ma Hongshu, he thought about it carefully, and felt that this Taoist priest must have ulterior motives when he came together. As soon as he inquired about his affairs a little, the so-called things were not going well and it became very clear, so why bother to look at his face and make calculations easy to reason?

"Mr. from Xicheng Mountain? Looking at the gentleman's demeanor, I thought you were from Houjian Valley? Ma Hongshu said quietly.

Yuan Fangshi's smile froze, "Houjian Valley? Do you even know about Houjian Valley? ”

"I'm from Sizhou, and I've heard about Houjingu." Ma Hong wrote.

"Sizhou people? You're the horseman? Yuan Fangshi recognized the identity of this person, but felt that he was a fool.

He only saw Zheng Sheng and Ma Hongshu talking happily, and thought they were important people. In the past two days, he has been wandering around Qingzhuling for a long time, but he has not gained much.

He asked those teenagers about Zheng Sheng, and when the teenagers talked about Zheng Sheng, most of them said how good and powerful Zheng Sheng was. asked the family members, but they didn't know much about Zheng Sheng. asked the villagers, and the villagers also praised Zheng Sheng.

Today, he finally saw a normal person dressed as a Confucian student, Zheng Sheng talked with him for a long time, and this person talked to Zheng Sheng naturally and calmly.

He judged that this person was not Zheng Sheng's subordinate, but a friend? Seems like a good breakthrough?

So, he came up and talked. Who would have thought that this person was Ma Shizi who came to Qingzhuling with him that day.

Yuan Fangshi couldn't help but be annoyed by his reckless actions. Since this person has only been here for two days, he naturally doesn't know anything about Zheng Sheng.

The operation failed, and Yuan Fangshi pretended to watch the arrow test for a while, and left in a hurry under the pretext.

Ma Hongshu looked at Fang Shi's back, frowning and pondering.

Why did the people of the Heavenly Master Dao come to Zheng Sheng's place? How did Zheng Sheng get into trouble with them?

It seems that under the bustle of Qingzhuling, there is also an unknown undercurrent surging!

Ma Hongshu finished reading the arrow test and was on the way back to his residence. When he met Huang Ke who had met him that day, he came from the east with a frown, and Ma Hongshu waited in place to greet him.

Who knows, Huang Ke seemed to be thinking about a difficult thing, and he didn't notice Ma Hongshu on the side of the road at all.

Huang Ke was immersed in his own world and walked straight over.

Ma Hongshu was speechless.

Qingzhuling is lively, and Nanyang City, which is hundreds of miles away, has also been very lively in the past two days because of the arrival of King Shunyang.

Although it was only a hundred miles away from Shunyang, the king of Shunyang stopped and stayed in Nanyang for the time being. On the one hand, because the last part of the road to Shunyang was not easy to walk, Sima Chang was worried about the concubine's body and decided to wait until the weather was warm before going to Shunyang.

At the same time, when he came to Nanyang, he also had to meet with a group of Jingzhou officials and clan heads who came to see him, after all, everyone will be "neighbors" in the future, and they must be familiar with it first.

Therefore, the king of Shunyang made it clear that this New Year should be spent in Nanyang, and everyone will celebrate the New Year with everyone. He Yi, the county guard of Nanyang, nervously arranged the preparations in the county. Even Bo Zhaotong, the lord of Nanyang, who is already a septuagenarian, has been busy working overtime in the past two days.

On this day, he easily had free time to return home, and when he saw the guests who arrived as scheduled, he sighed: "Ziqing, you came on time!" ”

"Of course I have to come on time, otherwise Lord Bo will definitely want to continue to delay the matter." Zheng Miao said slowly.

Zhao Tong sat down tiredly, "Of course I won't delay this matter." But Xia Hanzhen also said that in the past few days, there are too many people who want to see the king, and it is not good to introduce you at this time, he will always find a suitable time to speak. ”

"Okay." Zheng Meng nodded slowly, "Then I'll wait for good news." ”

Zhao Tong sent Zheng Meng away, sat on the chair and thought about it, returned to the study and wrote a note, waved his hand to a subordinate of a cronie, "Send it to the Chen family in Gumingli." ”

On the other side, Zheng Meng returned to Zheng's house, and he was a little troubled.

He had thought about it in the past two days. In fact, there is really no need to be in such a hurry, Zheng Sheng is growing up, but isn't he working hard?

Thirty-year-old head of a county, he has done a good job. After all, his father Zheng Tan is now the county guard. When he reaches that age, he may be able to do it if he holds an official position above the county guard.

Zheng Sheng has extraordinary qualifications, but after all, there is a difference of nearly twenty years and a whole generation from him. Zheng Sheng is really a small threat to him.

However, there is no way out, and since things have come to this point, we can only continue to go on.

However, King Shunyang has been here for three days, and the person he entrusted still has no way for him to meet Sima Chang. On the Shunyang side, Zheng Sheng has not made any moves, which makes him suspicious, for fear that Zheng Sheng is brewing some big moves.

Everything went wrong, Zheng Meng sat down and picked up the booklet on the table that recorded Sima Chang's usual words and deeds, very few and very thin.

But he could only get these, after all, he didn't expect that a king who was originally sealed in Guanzhong would change his title to Jingzhou. In a hurry, all he could get was these rough records.

Since he plans to fight and seek a higher starting point, he must prepare well.

This Shunyang King's preferences and taboos, is there anything special to pay attention to, and so on. He needs to look at it carefully.

Sima Chang, the king of Shunyang, the word Xuanshu, is the eldest son of the late Fufeng Wu Wang, born in the first year of Gongjing in Changgui Township (note: 260 years), he is quite his father's style, generous to others, and sympathetic to the villagers. He has been a prince for more than ten years and has always been loved by the people of the kingdom.

In addition, as an elder brother, love your brother. As a son, honor your parents. As the heir, he treats the officials of the kingdom leniently.

A very common sense, very regular clan file.

Zheng Miao frowned and looked at Sima Chang's style in the past ten years, compared to other clans, Sima Jun's family was undoubtedly better.

Sima Jun is one of the most prestigious in the clan, and his son is certainly not bad, these two generations of kings not only have good political achievements, but also their own cultivation is not bad, Zheng Meng did not turn to the point that they have a record of pursuing materialism and being poor and extravagant.

He wanted to use the wealth accumulated by the Zheng family to impress Sima Chang, but it seemed that he was not very reliable. It would be best to be able to give a portion of the benefits to the butler and ask him to introduce him.

However, Zheng Miao continued to look at it without believing it. Finally, he still found something, and he extracted these pieces of information separately to look at them.

"In the fourth year of Xianning, Jun selected Fufeng Chiyang Meng Chu as the prince's literary ......"

"In the fifth year of Xianning, Chang preset the Tainan Pavilion Grange of the Chengguo Canal, and Meng Chu cut the advice and followed it."

"In the second year of Taikang, Jun chose Meiyang people to help the wind and Confucianism Song Qian as the prince Fu, Zhao Xian from Hanzhong as a friend, and Mao Gan from Jingzhao Duling as literature."

In October of the sixth year, Song Qian and Mao Gan asked the prince to follow the order of the prince and personally plough the prince's ten acres of land. Be kind. ”

"In November, Song Qianfu said, 'The king has been ill for a long time, and the prince is sick and can't sleep at night, and he can only be seen with his relatives. The prince should serve the left and right, and the filial piety should make the king know his heart. 'Obey it. ”

"In October of the seventh year, Chang Hei was crowned King of the Wind. Mao Gan said privately to Yu Chang: "The first king was filial piety and proclaimed, valued agriculture and loved the people, and the hope of the clan was also. The heir of the great king, who is not virtuous and has no reputation, but sits on a big country that supports the wind, there will be people who are unhappy in the clan. If the king can follow the example of the former Han Dynasty and cut off the land with it, he will get the name of filial piety. Chang happily followed. ”

Zheng Meng smiled, and then picked up another list, this is Sima Chang's entourage of personal officials: Fu Taiyuan Jinyang Wang Min, friends of Hanzhong Zhao Xian, literature Xingyang Ma Xin, often Wen Xi Pei Chongshan, Ye Han Gui, Sheren Jinan author Xie Zhou, Fufeng Chen Cang people Qiu Zan......

"Mao Gan, Song Qian, and Meng Chu, the people Sima Jun chose for him, are gone, leaving only one Zhao Xian. Do they all have other responsibilities? Or is it because," Zheng Miao turned his gaze back to the stack of papers in front of him, "Compared to these three people, Zhao Yan is more obedient?" ”

Zheng Meng suddenly understood Sima Chang, as Sima Jun's heir, he must be a "good person", and obeying advice is the most basic rule, so he can go against his will and do something he is reluctant to do, such as not buying a grange, serving his long-ailing father, and pushing his younger brother's own fiefdom.

But in the future, what will he do with those who let him do it, who knows?
