"When Yang Zhao was still a prodigal son in Shuzhong, he traveled to Jiangnan East for more than a year. When he returned home, he was shocked to see that his wife was seven or eight months pregnant. Yang Zhao asked his wife why? His wife replied: Sijun is very deep, and he has become ill, and he has returned from a dream of the day, so he is pregnant. Later born male name. Yang Zhao later held his second son and showed off to others: This is caused by the affection of the husband and wife......"

Before Zhang Daobin finished speaking, Gao Shetun was already spitting stars flying around and laughing; Du Huan's face was slightly red, and he chuckled; Ashinayang, who has always been gentle, was also full of uncontrollable smiles on his face, he pointed at Zhang Daobin and said, "Zhang Jianjun is really good at arranging people. When the elegant Wang Zheng saw it, he stroked his beautiful hair and forced a smile.

Behind the five people, the old domestic servants were already smiling crookedly; The younger tooth soldiers have red faces and red ears, and their heads are bowed.

Du Huan chuckled and sighed that Zhang Daobin was accurate. Among the high-level leaders of the North Court, there are the so-called "Donggong Party", the "Xiangguo Party" involved with Li Xiangguo, and the Inner Guards and Supervisors who directly represent the will of Gao Weng and the sage, but no one has ever been connected with the upstart Yang family.

Although everyone has their own masters and thoughts, they coincide in ridiculing the Yang family.

The Yang family suddenly rose up with the favored harem of the noble concubine, whether it was the prince or Li Xiang, they were both paying attention to and winning over, but they were also on guard.

Judging from the current situation in Chang'an, the open and secret struggle between Li Xiang and the crown prince is still in full swing, and it is still the foundation of the situation in the ruling court. However, the sage's continuous reuse of Yang Zhao and his intention to arrange his entry into the prime minister have aroused Li Xiangguo's high vigilance.

At present, there are only two phases in the Tang Dynasty Political Hall, but it does not mean that there can be no more ministers. According to the Datang system, the political hall implements a multi-phase system. The saint can always add a phase if he wishes.

Judging from the current situation, the sage should want to train Yang Zhao and prepare to create conditions for him to worship the prime minister in the future. After all, Yang Zhao's foundation is too shallow, his qualifications are too thin, and he is too far away from the requirements of the prime minister.

Although Du Huan doesn't know much about Yang Zhao, as a child of a family who took the imperial examination to enter the office, it is really difficult for him to have a good impression of a frivolous scoundrel like Yang Zhao. What's more, Yang Zhao's uncle is Zhang Yizhi, a notorious male pet in the era of Emperor Zetian.

As a scholar, Du Huan deeply despised those traitors who sold themselves for glory. Thinking that Wang Zhengjian, Ashina Yang, Gao Shetun and others, or from famous families, or descended from Western Turkic kings, or after several generations of generals, they are not used to the villains of the Yang family.

Therefore, Zhang Daobin's jokes can win full applause while not attracting anyone's jealousy.

When Du Huan was in a reverie, on the riverside grass not far from the stream, the pot throwing competition between Wang Fei and Ashina Wenxia had ended.

After eight rounds, Wang Fei shot six arrows, and the results were not bad. And Ashina Wenxia hit eight shots and easily took a full pot.

After the competition, Ashina Wenxia was already in a good mood, and she looked at the place of the archery competition a little embarrassed, wondering if she could find a way to admit her sister's mistake.

When searching for her sister's figure, Ashina Wenxia was surprised to find that at some point, Gao Xiangui, Zhang Dejia and Ashina Xiaoyun had all become spectators, and the people competing had become Li Dingbang, Ma Lan and Tong Luo Puli. The three of them stood a hundred paces away from the target, concentrating, stretching their bows and shooting arrows.

Ma Lan and Tong Luo Puli had both shown amazing archery skills in actual combat, so Wang Fei, Wang Fei and Ashina Wenxia saw that there was a master competition, and they also hurriedly tiptoed forward to watch.

After Wang Fei stood still, he suddenly felt as if someone was peeking at him from behind on the left. He turned his head to look, but saw Wang Jue, Gao Xiangui, Zhang Dejia, Ashina Xiaoyun, Ashina Jiang and others standing together.

"Could it be Wang Qi?" Wang Fei knew in his heart that Wang Jue had a deep hatred for him. While he was pondering, he suddenly heard a loud "bang", and a loud sound like cracking a stone came from an arrow target in the distance.

Wang Fei raised his eyes and saw that it was the movement caused by Li Dingbang's archery. Although archery is not Li Dingbang's forte, he has been wielding a heavy Mo knife for a long time, and he is powerful. Therefore, when the long arrow hits the target, the sound is huge and moving.

When Wang Fei and the others stood still in the crowd, Li Dingbang had already shot eight arrows, each of which was on target, and three arrows hit the bull's eye.

Tong Luo Puli's arrows were not fast, but they were extremely accurate, and the six feather arrows she shot were all pierced at the bull's-eye, densely packed together.

Ma Lu, who everyone was looking forward to the most, still did not fire a single arrow. He held the Sun-Chasing Bow and stared at Li Dingbang and Tong Luo Puli with a smile, observing their posture of opening the bow.

In the blink of an eye, Li Dingbang had already shot ten feather arrows, and there were only the last two arrows left in Luo Puli's quiver.

Ma Lan suddenly grabbed ten arrows from his quiver and plunged them all into the ground in front of him. Then he holds the bow of the sun in his left hand, and shoots the arrow with his right hand. For a time, the bowstring stirred and the dragon groaned, and the long arrows flowed and the tiger roared.

By the time Luo Puli shot the last arrow into the bull's-eye, all ten arrows in front of Ma Lan had already been shot.

The galloping feather arrows hit the target like rapid raindrops continuously, and they were all in the bull's-eye.

The onlookers cheered in unison, applauding Ma Lu's amazing archery skills. The people of the Tang Dynasty, especially the soldiers and civilians in the border towns, admired heroes like Ma Lan the most. Although Wang Fei had already seen Ma Lu's archery, he saw it again at this moment, and his blood was still galloping.

Li Dingbang put his hand on the pergola, looked at the three arrow targets in front of him, shook his head with a smile, and then gave a thumbs up to Tong Luo Puli and Ma Lu.

With Luo Puli smiling lightly, after responding to Li Dingbang's kindness, she walked up to Ma Lan and said in a low voice: "It's nothing more than a little faster, and I will too." ”

Ma Lan chuckled and said, "Lady Luo, it's not just that you haven't done your best. ”

"Really?" Tong Luo Puli seemed to believe it or not: "Or you and I will compete again." ”

Ma Lan frowned slightly, and was thinking about how to respond, when he suddenly heard someone shouting in the distance: "Compared with the archery method, how can there be a certain missing?" ”

Wang Fei followed the prestige, but when he saw that the crowd was like water, the president of the North Court, Shi Gaoshetun, strode over.

Without waiting for Li Dingbang and the others to come forward to salute, Gao Shetun looked at the arrow target and shook his head and said: "The arrow target is a dull dead thing, and if you shoot it quietly, you can embroider a flower on the target, what is the point." On the battlefield, the longitudinal horse gallops like a dragon, stretches the bowstring to make a thunderclap, and rides and shoots it, which is interesting. Hurry up and lead the horse, I want to ride and shoot with General Li, Captain Ma, and Lady Luo! ”

The soldiers of Beiting knew that Gao Changshi was particularly concerned about the name of "Beiting's First Arrow", and he had long wanted to compete with the superb archery captain Ma. There was always no suitable opportunity before, but today's outing in the city is a good time for the two to compete.

Regarding the battle of Gaoshetun, Li Dingbang was the first to react. He stepped forward and saluted: "Gao Changshi, a certain party was just forcibly pulled in by Tongluo Niangzi to make up for it. Riding and shooting is not my forte, so I won't add to the chaos. If there is Yaxing in the long history of Modao foot warfare one day, he will definitely accompany him to the end. ”

Gao Shetun didn't come for Li Dingbang in the first place, and when he saw that he refused to fight, he didn't care. He nodded and said with a smile: "If you try Modao, General Li will still find Li Siye from Anxi, and he won't dare to make trouble!" ”

Seeing that Li Dingbang had successfully escaped, Ma Lan was about to retreat from the conversation, but he stepped forward with Luo Puli and bowed generously: "Gao Changshi, the little woman has been in Tingzhou for a short time, but she has already heard that Changshi has unparalleled archery skills. In the next is not talented, although he has been practicing arrows since childhood, his kung fu is very shallow. If Changshi doesn't dislike it, the little woman is willing to sacrifice ugliness. As for how to compete, please ask Changshi to make a decision, and the little woman has no objection. ”

After finishing speaking, Tong Luo Puli glanced at Ma Lan with beautiful eyes with a slight evil smile, and turned to look for his snow ink horse.

On the first day Ma Lan came to Tingzhou, he knew that Gao Shetun wanted to be high and low with him in archery.

Ma Lu is very confident in his archery skills, but Gao Shetun's long history status makes him have some scruples. Therefore, after returning from Chang'an, Ma Lan has been trying his best to avoid Gaoshetun.

When a few little Langjun and little ladies were trying to compete in archery, they were itchy to look at Luo Puli and clamored to compete.

The archery skills of the boys and girls have not yet been completed, how can they be compared with Luo Puli, who is used to seeing blood in Lingzhou? As a result, Ma Lan and Li Dingbang, who were watching the battle from the sidelines, were dragged by Luo Puli and dragged to the arrow target.

Ma Lan wanted to leave the game quickly after the first round, but he still encountered a situation that he tried his best to avoid. He was pondering how to refuse Gao Shetun's appointment to fight, but he and Luo Puli deliberately rushed to the battle, forcing Ma Lu to a desperate situation where he had to fight.

Ma Lan was annoyed, and suddenly saw the onlookers and servants hurriedly make way for a passage.

"Captain Ma, Gao Changshi is a man of temperament, and he likes to ride and shoot the most. You just let go and give it a try with Gao Changshi. Wang Zheng saw Wen Yu and encouraged.

Ma Lan glanced at Du Huan behind Wang Zhengjian, and saw him nodding with a smile, so he no longer hesitated, stepped forward and saluted Gao Shetun and said, "Gao Changshi, I don't know how to compare?" ”

On the riverside streamside, in the grass and woods, everyone who was playing and walking heard that Gao Shetun, Ma Lan and Tong Luo Puli were going to try archery, and they all rushed over with great interest, vying to watch the "peak duel" of the three archery masters!

Even the ladies who were bathing or drinking tea and chatting in the curtain, under the service of the maids, put on their hats, walked out of the silk barrier, and stood in the corner to watch.

Gao Shetun heard that Ma Ling and others were testing archery, and immediately jumped up from the side of the stream and came to make an appointment. After Ma Lan and Luo Puli agreed to compete, he was overjoyed, but he didn't have time to think about how to compete.

While thinking about it, I suddenly heard several geese chirping in the air. Gao Shetun looked up, in the twilight of spring, the southern geese flew north, and in the blue sky, several rows of geese were spreading their wings and soaring.

"Captain Ma, there is a mound three miles to the east, you and I are riding on horseback, galloping and shooting, the one who reaches the mound first wins, if you reach it at the same time, see who shoots down the wild goose, how? To make it easier to count points, you can have your name engraved on your arrow. ”

When everyone heard this, they saw that this method was not only better than riding nor archery, and shooting birds in the air while riding was indeed much more fun than static archery targets. So, the anxious tooth soldiers didn't wait for Ma Lan to answer, and they responded one after another: "Gao Changshi's idea is good!" ”

Ma Ling looked up at the geese in the sky, and then at the branches fluttering in the wind, before nodding and replying: "No objection!" ”
