A tall steed with yellow hair all over his body, like a golden curly, Jun Ruochen's face was calm, and the defeat the day before yesterday didn't seem to have the slightest effect on him.

On the way, he rode the dark clouds and covered the snow, patrolling in front of the recruiters who participated in the cavalry and archery competition, like a proud general inspecting his subordinates. From afar, I saw Jun Ruochen, who avoided the crowd, was alone and arrogant, and was independent.

As soon as the horse's belly covered with dark clouds and snow, the horse's hooves rushed to Jun Ruochen's front and circled around him. The thief looked at this divine yellow horse, nodded his head, and looked at Jun Ruochen with a smile.

"Well, aren't you the famous yellow horse? Looks pretty good. How about my dark clouds and snow, why don't you pair them? ”

The clouds covered the snow with its front hooves raised and hissed with its head held high. This thing is just like its owner, loving and proud. The yellow horse was unmoved, and stood there steadily, just like its owner, confident and steady.

"My yellow horse is male." Jun Ruochen endured the anger rising in his heart, and his face darkened.

"Alas" sighed, and patted the neck of the dark cloud covering the snow lovingly: "It's rare to find a beautiful horse that matches you, but it's a pity that it's a male, it's really hard for you." ”

"Brother Lu, this is really, people are romantic, and horses are also romantic." Jun Ruochen couldn't stand it anymore, and couldn't help but mock.

"People are not romantic, if you are young, you are young, and you have not yet reached the crown. Obviously, there is a sword hidden in his heart that wants to be unsheathed, but he wants to make a young man and an old man. Are you uncomfortable, hard work, tired or not! ”

passed by and looked at the serious Jun Ruochen, shaking his head again and again.

"My generation of young people, since they should be gentle, humble, modest, polite and subtle. Everyone is like Brother Lu, you are wanton and wild, and your edge is exposed, isn't this world chaotic. ”

Jun Ruochen didn't think so, and didn't look over coldly.

"Life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon. The flowers can be folded straight, and the branches must be broken without flowers. Our generation of young people should not live up to the good years and have the courage to forge ahead. Originally, I thought you would be one of my opponents, but I was mistaken. ”

He shook his head and shook his head, urging the horses to drift away.

"What a mess, your opponent? I don't see you as an opponent yet. Hearing the sentence "The flowers can be broken and must be broken, don't wait for no flowers and empty branches." Jun Ruochen shook his head speechlessly.

Money can be spiritual, this sentence is really true. For this riding and archery competition, the Wang family went around their own garden and built a simple gallop road. At the end of the gallop, in the spacious open space, several arrow targets were erected in the distance. On a viewing platform built up, and on the left and right sides of the viewing platform, there was already a dense crowd of people watching.

After passing by and riding on a horse, he heard the cheers of the crowd from time to time in the distance, and leaned over to pat the head of the horse covered with dark clouds.

"Da Hei, when you came to Chang'an, you became lazy and gained weight. If you don't run with all your strength this time, and let me take the first place, I'll have to put you alone in a stable, separated from the two beautiful mares. ”

The dark clouds covered the snow with their ears drooping, and they stood up with a "bang", raised their heads and let out a neigh, which suddenly made several horses around them uneasy to gouge their hind hooves.

Another thunderous cheer sounded, not long ago Jun Ruochen's group of people passed, could it be that this guy's results are very good? Lu Lu covered his chin thoughtfully.

"Oh yes! Why should we be in the last group? There must be something greasy in this, if you look at the few of us, who has a prominent family background, almost all of them are children of ordinary families. ”

A rough-looking young man looked at the ground dissatisfiedly and spat on the ground.

"Heroes, they are always the last to appear, and they will surprise the audience. This brother, you are heroic, I am very optimistic about you. ”

He looked at the rough young man with a smile and admiration.

"Really? Hehe, that's the truth. You kid is very good at talking, and you will follow me a little closer, and when I win the applause of the audience, you will also be stained. ”

The rough young man touched his head and laughed innocently, looking forward to it.

Lu smiled and didn't say anything, just nodded again and again.

The back spans the longbow that he asked for from Pei Wuniang, and the waist hangs the quiver. Seeing that the person who gave the order waved the flag, the dark clouds covered the snow and leaped up first, and a few ups and downs left the rest of the people far behind.

I haven't enjoyed the dark clouds covering snow that I have been galloping for a long time, galloping like lightning, galloping quickly on the galloping road, one person and one horse, so fast that it can only make people see, leaving a black lone shadow.

The crowd in the square at the end saw a black horse in the distance, rushing into the arena as if it was in a shocking spirit, but they couldn't see the knight on horseback. Could it be that this unlucky fellow was thrown off his horse on the way?

With a "whoosh", a sharp arrow shot out from the lower abdomen of the black horse, and the "wow" was firmly nailed to the red heart of the arrow target, and the tail feathers were still trembling.

The horse's speed did not slow down, and he rolled over from the side of the horse's belly like a monkey, and then stood on the horse's back in a mocking manner, and shot an arrow quickly, and shot the heart steadily.

As soon as the reins were pulled, the dark clouds covered the snow almost stood up, and in an instant, the road took a bow and arrows, "whoosh" a seven-arrow burst, seven long arrows, one by one, "snatched" around the arrow target red heart, drew a circle.

Lu raised his longbow and looked around the crowd with triumph, waiting to receive a tsunami cheer from the crowd.

The crowd watching, quiet as a pool of stagnant water, no one cheered and no one jumped, looking at the road one by one, as if they were looking at a monster, an alien.

I waited for a while, but I still didn't wait for the call of anticipation, but I was coldly watched by the eyes of the crowd. With embarrassment in the loss, he dismounted and led the dark clouds and covered the snow, and silently walked towards his relatives and friends.

"Alas!" Lu sighed, and looked at Gu Xihua pitifully: "Could it be that those people in front of me are far superior to mine in riding and archery skills?" ”

Gu Xihua shook her head slowly: "No, your riding and archery kung fu has far surpassed all the players in front of you." ”

"Huh" looked very unwilling when he passed the road: "Then why didn't I finish the performance, and there was no cheer in the crowd." ”

"Who called you so proud, so stinky fart, that everyone looked down on you. You don't want to think about it, most of the people who come here to watch the ceremony are from powerful families. Others pay attention to low-key and subtle, which is in line with the family background and heritage, and naturally I can't get used to your rampant little person's appearance. ”

Gu Xihua pursed her mouth and said unceremoniously.

"Whew! One by one, relying on the remnants of their ancestors, they put on a lofty appearance, what ability and ability do they have, I can't get used to them. They were jealous of me, which is why they did this. ”

I was very unhappy when I got on the road, and I felt very unwilling in my heart.

"Yes! You've been so dazzling that people don't dare to look at it. Seeing the way she looked, Gu Xihua wanted to laugh very much.

"Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, it seems that I am still too good when I get there. But why don't you guys give me a round of applause? He nodded thoughtfully, turned around suddenly, and glared at his relatives and friends angrily.

"With your ability, young master, isn't it natural to achieve such results, what is there to make a fuss about." Boss Hu looked at the road in surprise, and secretly slapped the horses on the road.

"Ahem" Liuzi coughed twice and turned his head.

Pei Wuniang looked at the road with contempt: "Phew! As far as you are good at archery, I want this girl to applaud you, you can dream about it. Others can't see it, don't you know when I Pei Wuniang. Hiding in the stirrups and standing on horseback to shoot arrows is actually because you didn't learn the nine-star arrows and could only hit seven arrows at a time, so you deliberately showed off and hid like that. ”

After passing by, I didn't expect Pei Wuniang, who had always been stupid, to see her plan at that time, and her face was slightly red.

"Humph! In just half a year, I can shoot seven arrows in a row, what else do you want. ”

At this time, the rough young man in the field, all nine arrows hit the bull's-eye, and looked around proudly, ready to meet the applause of the audience.

There was no applause, no applause, almost no one who looked at him.

His heart was cold, and he didn't know what was going on, but suddenly he saw the road that was fast on his horse and threw them out of sight. It's like seeing a life-saving straw.

"This brother, what the hell is going on here, why did my arrow hit the bull's-eye, and I didn't even cheer?" The young man walked in the way, looking very uneasy.

"Alas" sighed, pointed to the gorgeously dressed crowd on the high platform, and then to himself, to the young man: "Who are they, look at you and me." No matter how exquisite and powerful your archery is, how can you attract their attention and gain their appreciation? ”

The young man's angry eyes swept in the direction of the high platform, and he was extremely annoyed: "I, Chen Lizhen, am a martial artist, and I don't expect to marry the daughter of the God of Wealth this time. I just want to take this opportunity to show my riding and archery kung fu in front of people, attract attention, and get a chance to be recommended. But you see the countless nobles on that high platform, and they don't even look at me. Could it be that this Tang Dynasty doesn't need my generation of martial artists? ”

"Martial artists are the backbone of my Datang, and they should puff up their chests and look proudly. If you are not willing to be buried in martial arts, you should go to the border town to join the army. What kind of place is this Chang'an, a place where the wealthy and powerful seek pleasure, get drunk, and dream of death. Even if you are appreciated, at most you will become a caretaker and a thug who shows off your might, what is the difference between you and a dog? ”

Lu shook his head, this young man named Chen Lizhen is not only brave, but also smart. But he thought about Chang'an wrong and came to the wrong place.

"Join the army, no one will recommend me, even if I am outstanding in martial arts. has no identity, no background, and it is difficult to get ahead. Forget it, let's see who the number one horse shooter is, I'd better go home and farm. ”

Chen Lizhen was disheartened and stared at the direction of the high platform unwillingly.

After a while, a middle-aged man with a majestic and vigorous posture stood in the center of the high platform and waved his hand: "Riding and archery competition, I won the first place on the road." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged man who looked like a general quickly stepped back and did something hastily.

"Riding the shooting road first! Who is the road? As soon as I heard the way, the name was not good. Why can you take the first place in riding and shooting. Chen Lizhen stomped her feet, very indignant.

"Me, I'm the way." Standing in front of Chen Lizhen, he pointed to his nose.

"Humph!" Chen Lizhen snorted coldly: "You kid mounts a divine horse, I can't outrun you, I admit it." However, this archery is the first, but I am very unconvinced. You have the ability to compete with me. ”

He walked by and pulled Li Sheng behind Pei Wuniang: "This guy joined the army at the age of eighteen, and he once shot the Tubo general who showed off his martial arts with an arrow. If you can outdo him in archery, come to me again. ”

Chen Lizhen was a little unconvinced, and looked at the sturdy and majestic Li Sheng with suspicious eyes.

"Not convinced! If you have the ability, go to the labor-management comparison to see, if anyone loses, who is the turtle son. "Although Li Sheng's archery skills can't compare to Pei Wuniang, he can't compare to the road. But others, where will he put in his eyes.

"Compare to whom, who is afraid of whom!" Chen Lizhen is also very confident in her archery skills, and she left the crowd one after the other with Li Sheng and went to compete.

The last competition is the royal, although the chariot has long been eliminated, but the skill of driving, still as one of the six arts of the gentleman, inherited and retained.

I saw a subordinate of the Wang family, holding a set of rings and putting them on the dark clouds and snow. The dark clouds covered the clouds and neighed again and again, and the horses' heads were raised high, but they refused to get into the trap.

"My mount, like my master, naturally doesn't like to be put around the neck. I abstained from this royal contest and did not participate. ”

He walked over and stopped the royal family, and leaned his head on the neck of the dark clouds and snow affectionately.
