The county commander Li Chun looked at Zhao Gou with a smile, then glanced at Zhou Tong again, waiting for him to reply. Zhou Tong didn't understand why Li Chun wanted Zhao Gou to test his archery skills, and looked back at Li Chun in some surprise.

Li Chun said with a smile: "Brother, you have five disciples, four of them participate in the martial arts assessment, only one of them has not signed up, and my brother thinks that the archery skills of the eldest brother's disciples must be good." Although he has never signed up for the exam, his younger brother still wants to see it, but I wonder if the eldest brother can agree? ”

Zhou Tong comprehended, nodded and said: "Gou'er, you will show your skills to adults, don't lose face as a teacher, and do your best to show your archery skills, have you ever known?" ”

Zhao Gou nodded and replied: "The disciple will not disappoint the master, the adult will see how the kid's archery skills are, and I hope to give you some advice!" ”

Zhao Gou strode forward, Zhang Xian and the others looked at Zhao Gou, who was calm and relaxed, and whispered: "Brother Yue, how is the fifth brother's archery skills?" ”

Wang Gui, Zhang Xian and others practiced martial arts with Zhao Gou, but they had never seen his archery skills. They all know that Zhao Gou is proficient in all kinds of martial arts, and he has been taught by Zhou Dongyan and deeds, personally guiding and feeding the moves, and his ability to fight against the enemy is also the best among everyone, only archery has never been practiced!

Yue Fei frowned and said in a low voice: "I don't know the fifth brother's archery skills, only the master knows." Since the master asked the fifth brother to come out of the ranks, it must not be bad. ”

The four of them were secretly muttering to themselves, and Zhao Gou had already walked to the center of the school. When everyone saw that he was eleven or twelve years old, how he dreamed of shooting an arrow, they were a little surprised in their hearts, and they were a little suspicious, and they all looked at it with wide eyes and curiosity.

Li Xian ordered and ordered: "Put the arrow stacks forward, it's too far away!" ”

Zhao Gou shook his head and replied, "No need, just two hundred and forty steps!" ”

"Are you sure?" Li Xian Linghu said suspiciously.

Zhao Gou nodded, did not reply, pulled out the bow, and put the arrow on the board. The arrows were like meteors, and they were moving forward at a rapid pace, lined up, and three arrows in a row pierced through the heart, and everyone was stunned.

Zhao Gou shot an arrow, and without looking at it, as if he already knew the result, he turned around and left, returned to Zhou Dong's side, and ignored Li Xianling's stunned expression.

Zhou Tong nodded appreciatively, looked at the stunned Li Xianling, and said with a smile: "Brother Xian, I don't know how the apprentice's archery technique is?" ”

Li Xianling hadn't recovered from what had just happened, and after a while, he said sincerely: "Several disciples of the eldest brother are all dragons and phoenixes among people, and they never thought that such a young body would have such power!" It is really a person who cannot be looked at, and the sea is immeasurable, breathtaking! ”

Zhou Tong laughed and said: "Since this is the case, the matter is over, I will leave and come to visit the virtuous brother another day!" ”

Li Chunzuo said: "Don't dare, let the little brother come to talk about it." ”

Zhou Tong replied: "Enlighten." Then he said goodbye to Li Chun and went down to the martial arts hall with Yue Fei and others. Then, he came to the tent and went out of the city and returned to the village with all the others.

All the members were separated from Zhou Tong and the others, and each returned home, only Wang Gui and a few of them had been following behind Zhou Dong, they were very curious about when Zhao Gou's archery technique reached such a point, and they all asked: "Fifth brother, how did you learn your archery?" ”

Zhao Gou said without thinking: "When the master taught the elder brothers, the younger brother secretly learned on the side, and the master also gave a little guidance. ”

Everyone looked at Zhao Gou in disbelief, and couldn't help but be impressed in their hearts, and even Yue Fei had to praise Zhao Gou's comprehension. He followed Zhou Tong's side much longer than Zhao Gou, and after years of hard practice, he had such archery skills; Zhao Gou just peeked and groped alone, and Zhou Tong occasionally pointed out, and there was such an archery technique, so that the four of them had to obey.

Zhou Tong returned to the village, let Yue Fei and the others leave, and told Yue Fei to inform his mother of the matter. After all, making a marriage contract is a major life event, and you can't make the decision alone.

After everyone left, Zhou Tong called Zhao Gou and said with a meaningful smile: "What is the longest distance of your archery skills in the morning?" ”

"Three hundred steps!" Zhao Gou replied truthfully, he knew that he had deliberately concealed his archery skills when he was archery before, and he couldn't escape Zhou Dong's eyes.

Zhou Tong laughed and said, "Okay! Good! Good! ……”

When Zhao Gou's arrow was shot, he already knew the result, and he would definitely shoot. After all, Zhao Gou's usual distance was also two hundred and fifty steps, and he didn't pay attention to two hundred and forty steps at all. Considering that Yue Fei became the son-in-law of Li County's order, and also took into account Zhou Dong's face, he chose the same distance and used the technique of three arrows in one hand.

Zhou Tong never thought that Zhao Gou would specialize in other martial arts on weekdays, and occasionally practice the way of archery. In this regard, Zhou Tong did not ask. The archery technique displayed by Zhao Gou in front of Li Chun made him grow his face and feel a little proud.

The next day, Li Zhixian ordered someone to write his daughter's Geng sticker and sent someone to Zhou Dong. The scribe received the order and immediately set off for Qilin Village to find Wangjiazhuang.

Zhou Dong was already waiting here, and the family came in to report to Zhou Tong, and he hurriedly let the scribe in. The scribe came to the study, saw Zhou Tong, saluted and sat down, and said: "On the order of the master of the family, I specially send Miss Geng post here, please accept it." ”

Zhou Tong was overjoyed, so he handed it to Yue Fei and said, "This Miss Li's Geng post can be taken back and offered at home." ”

Yue Fei agreed, took it with both hands, and hurriedly returned home and told his mother about it. Yesterday, Yue Fei mentioned this matter, she thought it was a joke, but she didn't take it to heart. When Yue Fei took out the Geng sticker, the mother-in-law believed that it was true, was overjoyed, worshiped the ancestors of the family, and then watched the young lady's Nian Geng.

The mother-in-law looked at the eight characters written on the Geng sticker, and was actually born on the same day, the same month, and the same year as her son, and remembered that the young lady's father was the county order, and it must be everyone's lady, so she readily agreed to this family business.

The words were divided into two ends, and the mother-in-law happily agreed to the marriage; On the other end, Zhou Tongfeng gave a gift to the scribe and said: "Brother Lao Zun is from afar, there is nothing to be respected, some substitute meals, don't be frivolous!" ”

The scribe said, "Don't dare! He accepted the gift, thanked him and said goodbye and went back.

After a while, Yue Fei told Zhou Tong what his mother had conveyed. Zhou Tong nodded and ordered, "Go to the county with me early tomorrow to thank your father-in-law." ”

Uncle Yue responded: "I know! ”

So, Zhou Tong and Zhao Gou stayed at Wang Yuanwai's house for the night. That night, Wang Yuanwai personally entertained Zhou Dong and gave an order, and all the good wine and food were delivered. Moreover, the mother-in-law was also taken by Yue Fei to the royal mansion and had a meal together.

During the banquet, Wang Gui, Zhao Gou and others took turns to fight, and they were bound to get Yue Fei drunk. People are in good spirits on happy occasions, Yue Fei is proud, and unconsciously drank a few jars of wine, Wang Yuanwai and others laughed and said nothing, even his mother-in-law did not object, and let the five of them act recklessly.

Zhao Gou, Yue Fei and the others were so drunk that they fell asleep unconsciously. After a night, the next morning, they were woken up by the servants again, and they went with Zhou Dong again. Originally, the three members were against it, but Zhou Tong said that there was nothing wrong, so he asked a few of them to go together. A group of them went out of the village gate, did not ride a horse but walked into the city, came to the county gate, and threw two thank you cards on the door of the house.

Li Chun immediately opened the door of the house and came out to take in the inner office. After the salute, Yue Fei thanked him for his kindness, and Li Chun returned the half-salute and sat down to talk. After a while, the feast was set up, and the people sat down and drank for a while, and the servants moved out of the table. Zhou Tong saw it and said: "Brother Xian, our group came on foot, so we don't have to bring such a gift, so we don't have to bother." ”

Li Chun was silent for a moment and said: "In this case, the virtuous son-in-law is here, there is nothing to give, and the junior brother still has dozens of horses that have not been sold, how about giving one to Ling Lang?" ”

Zhou Tongxi said: "Children practice martial arts, and they are riding less." If you give it a lot, it would be great. I've eaten about the wine, so let's go and see the horses. After watching the horses, continue drinking. ”

Li Chun didn't know Zhou Tong's thoughts, nodded slightly, and said, "Then let's go to the stable!" ”

The seven of them got up and came to the back stable, and Li Chun ordered the groom: "Take the set of poles and wait for the horses." ”

The groom said yes and stepped forward. Wang Gui, Tang Huai and others couldn't help but be fascinated when they saw all kinds of horses. However, Li Chun's horses were used for sale. Horses in the Great Song Dynasty were relatively scarce, and some officials would also do some selling to fill the family. However, they have a well-off family, and if they want, they can also let their father spend money on it.

Zhou Tong quietly said to Yue Fei: "You can show your vision and choose carefully, this is a gift from your father-in-law, and it is inconvenient to return it." ”

Yue Fei nodded again and again: "I know!" ”

Hearing Zhou Tong's words, Yue Fei walked to the stable, his eyes widened, and he looked carefully. He originally liked white horses the most, and Zhao Gou's mount was brown, and gradually he felt that horses of other colors were also good, as long as they could fight on the battlefield and have a strong foot. So, when he saw that the horses were of better color, he pressed his hand, Yue Fei was born with divine power, and when he pressed it hard, the horse's feet were all destroyed.

After picking several horses one after another, the result was the same, Yue Fei was extremely disappointed, and shook his head again and again. Seeing this, Li Chun hurriedly asked, "Are these horses useless?" ”

Yue Fei replied respectfully: "These horses are not useless, it's just that these horses are all children of the rich family with gorgeous saddle bridles, and they are just traveling in the spring. The horse that the son-in-law wants in his heart is a horse that can be on the battlefield, be able to fight, be loyal to the country, and fight bravely to kill the enemy, such a horse is a good horse. ”

County Lord Li nodded slightly, and sighed: "I sold these dozens of horses leftover, and I just sent one to travel with my virtuous son-in-law." Where is there a war horse like you say, it seems that you can only slack off! ”

As he was talking, he suddenly heard the neighing of a horse next door.

Yue Fei's eyes widened violently, and he said in ecstasy: "This cry is a good horse!" I don't know where? ”

Li Chun was puzzled: "You haven't seen this horse, how do you know it's a good horse?" ”

Yue Fei said: "Lord Yue, my son-in-law can hear the loud voice of this horse, and it must be powerful, so it is said to be a good horse." ”

"The virtuous son-in-law is really good!" Li Chun stroked his beard and said with a smile: "This horse was bought back by my family Zhou Tianlu in the Northland, and it has been more than a year now. It was really powerful, but because of its violent character, and seeing people kicking and biting, even these horses were afraid of seeing this horse, and no one could lower it, so they never sold it, and they were afraid that it would hurt people, so they had to lock it in the wall next door. ”

Yue Da said happily: "I wonder if my son-in-law can go and have a look?" ”

Li Chun said: "I'm just afraid that the virtuous son-in-law won't be able to surrender him!" If it can be lowered, it will be given to you. ”

So, Li Chun called the groom to open the door. Seeing that Yue Fei wanted to tame this horse, the horseman couldn't help but worry, and advised: "Uncle Yue, you have to be careful, this horse has a violent personality, and it bites people when it sees them, so you can't be hurt by it." ”

Yue Fei nodded and thanked him, and looked at it intently, and his heart was even more joyful. Then, Yue Fei took off the sea green on his body and stepped forward. The horse seemed to have a spirit, and when he saw someone coming, he raised his hooves and kicked wildly without waiting for Yue Fei to get closer.

Seeing this, Yue Fei hurriedly flashed; Seeing Yue Fei dodging, the horse turned his head and wanted to bite. Yue Fei had to flash back again, take advantage of the situation to grab the mane, and raise his hands to fight. After several blows in a row, each time he tried his best, the horse was beaten by Yue Fei's heavy punch and did not dare to move, so he let Yue Fei lead him.

Only then could everyone see the signs of the horse, which was about eight feet long from head to tail, and about eight feet high from hoof to back. The head is like a rabbit, the eyes are like copper bells, the ears are small and the hooves are round, the tail is light and the chest is broad, burly and powerful, not much inferior to Zhao Gou's three-color horse. However, the whole body is covered in mud, and the color of this horse is unknown.

Li Chun saw that Yue Fei really tamed this horse, and couldn't help but be amazed, and said: "The virtuous son-in-law is really a good skill, this horse is extremely strong, how many people have never tamed it, and they have never wanted to be tamed by the virtuous son-in-law." Before, I said that as long as you can tame, this horse will be given to you. Now, I have fulfilled my promise, and this horse will return to you in the future! ”

Yue Fei was overjoyed, and Shi Li said, "Thank you, Lord Yue!" ”
