Chapter Eighty-Eight: Bad News Arrives

Generally speaking, the heavier the bow, the longer the range, the greater the strength of the archer, if you want to shoot a target a hundred steps away, then you must at least open a stone to ride the bow. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Li Yanqing galloped on his horse, pulled out three arrows and bit them in his mouth, and instantly ran to eighty steps away from the arrow stack, at this time he switched to using his legs to control the horse, took out an arrow from his mouth and pulled the string with a bow, he opened the bow like a full moon, and shot an arrow, the arrow was like lightning and stone fire, and an arrow hit the bull's-eye.

But Li Yanqing didn't see the result, and at the same time that the arrow came out of the string, he pulled out a second arrow, looked at the target out of the corner of his eye, and pulled his bow again to shoot an arrow.

At this time, Li Yanqing's body was slightly tilted, and he quickly adjusted his body, but the war horse had already galloped out of more than 20 steps, and the three consecutive shots required by Zhou Tong were to shoot three arrows in a row within thirty days, he couldn't have the slightest hesitation, and at the moment when the horse rushed out of the thirty step line, he opened his bow and shot the last arrow.

There was a burst of applause and cheers in the distance, and Li Yanqing's three arrows all hit the bull's-eye, which was already an excellent result, even the army's professional cavalry archery soldiers may not shoot so wonderfully, not to mention that Li Yanqing had only practiced for more than a month.

Zhou Tong didn't have the slightest expression of praise, and still asked with a gloomy face, "Do you know what your problem is?" ”

Li Yanqing knew this, lowered his head and said, "The student is still a little weaker in controlling the horse. ”

Zhou Tong nodded, "It seems that you also have a number in your heart, today you just barely finished shooting three shots, since the horse control is weak, just practice horseback riding, there is no trick to this, practice makes perfect, I will give you two months to practice horseback riding, and after two months, we will start to practice shooting moving targets." ”

"Students remember!"

Zhou Tong no longer paid attention to Li Yanqing, and turned back to Yue Fei and asked, "How are you practicing your two-stone crossbow?" ”

.......

In the afternoon, Li Yanqing and Yue Fei finished listening to the lecture on law, and hurried to the school's stables.

"Yanqing, I think the law is very boring, if it weren't for the exam in the future, I wouldn't touch it, what do you think?"

Li Yanqing laughed, "Even Yue Fei, who has always been known for his patience, feels a headache, this law seems to be really boring, but.... I think it's pretty simple. ”

"Simple?"

Yue Fei asked puzzledly, "Where is it simple?" ”

"Didn't you listen to what the professor said, just test some articles, not any cases, just memorize the articles, this is no different from the previous Ming Jing exam, as for the martial arts test law, I think it will only be simpler."

"It's hard to say, that Professor Gu is from the Ming Classics department, and he always says, 'What did we take the exam at that time?' Thirty years ago, he was still a Ming Jingke, to be honest, I don't believe his words. ”

"You're right, I may have thought too simply, but this is years from now, and we don't have to take it to heart now."

The two smiled, and walked quickly to the stables not far away, the stables of the county school are close to the dormitory area, covering a large area, usually hundreds of donkeys and dozens of horses are stored here, almost every student has his own donkey, Li Yanqing and their horses also exist here, and there are special grooms to take care of them.

The horse shed is in the east of the donkey shed, the area is much smaller than the donkey shed, they are still more than a dozen steps away from the horse shed, only to see a student come out of the horse shed in a panic, Li Yanqing recognized this person at a glance, it is Li Wengui's young grandson Li Bao'er.

Li Baoer also studied in the county school, but he rode a donkey to school, not a horse, Li Yanqing suddenly had a trace of suspicion, what is Li Baoer doing in the stable?

"Hey!"

Li Yanqing shouted, sped up and walked over, Li Baoer turned around and saw Li Yanqing, he looked even more panicked, and ran towards the dormitory area in the distance.

Li Yanqing still wanted to catch up, but was stopped by Yue Fei, "The horses are fine, don't chase!" ”

Li Yanqing also saw that there was a groom in the stable, so he stopped chasing and glared at Li Bao'er fiercely, and his intuition told him that Li Bao'er must be coming for his snow sword.

"That brother Bao likes this white horse very much!"

An old horseman with a rickety figure pointed to Li Yanqing's snow and slowly swallowed: "That's it, Brother Bao has been watching it for almost half an hour, and I can see that he really likes it." ”

"He didn't do anything to my horse! For example, what do you put in the horse feed? Li Yanqing is still very skeptical, is it so simple that Li Baoer just likes his horse? Li Wengui didn't ask him to do something disgusting?

The groom smiled, his face showing two big buckteeth like rabbits, "I'm also worried, so I've been keeping an eye on him, but don't worry, little official, he doesn't do anything suspicious, he just likes this white horse." ”

After a pause, the groom added in an accentuated tone: "He really likes it!" ”

Li Yanqing probably guessed a few points, Li Bao'er may have heard a little news, thinking that his grandfather was victorious, and the horse would soon be his, so he ran to see the loot in advance, that kid was greedy and short-witted, but he was as timid as a mouse.....

"Yanqing, it's not early, let's go back!"

Li Yanqing always felt a little uneasy in his heart, so he thanked the groom, then turned over and got on the horse, left the county school with Yue Fei, and went to their residence.

As soon as he came to the door of the house, Li Yanqing saw Uncle Zhong anxiously pacing back and forth at the door of the house, Li Yanqing suddenly felt bad in his heart, and hurriedly turned over and dismounted, stepped forward and asked, "Uncle Zhong, why are you here, what happened?" ”

When Uncle Zhong saw Li Yanqing, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, and said anxiously: "Little official, something happened to the patriarch?" ”

Li Yanqing was taken aback, "What happened to the patriarch?" Take your time, don't worry! ”

Uncle Zhong stabilized his mind and said: "I don't know what's wrong, it's that Mrs. received a pigeon letter from Anyang, saying that the master seems to be seriously injured, the situation is very serious, Mrs. is in a hurry, and I don't know what to do, so she came to me, please be sure to go to Anyang to have a look." ”

Li Yanqing's heart suddenly became anxious, what would happen to the patriarch? And what about his own father? Father has gone to the patriarch, he must not have an accident!

Li Yanqing hurriedly turned back to Yue Fei and said, "Please ask for a leave for Master Zhou tomorrow for me, I want to rush to Anyang County immediately, I am very worried about my father." ”

Yue Fei nodded, "You can go with confidence!" I will explain the situation to Master Zhou. ”

Li Yanqing went back to the house to clean up a little, then turned over and rode his horse towards Anyang County.

.......

Anyang County is Xiangzhou Prefecture, about 80 miles away from Tangyin County, and it is also the largest city in the south of Hebei West Road, with a circumference of more than 30 miles and a population of nearly 200,000, which is a prosperous commercial city.

At midnight, Li Yanqing arrived at Anyang County, at this time the city gate was closed, and the city gate would not be opened until the next day, but Li Ji Grain Store did not only operate in the city, it also had a warehouse by the river outside the city.

Li Yanqing turned his horse's head and ran towards the Huanshui in the north of the county seat, he had been here once three years ago, and vaguely remembered the location of the warehouse, and only a moment later, he came to this slightly dilapidated warehouse.

Although the warehouse is dilapidated, it is in an excellent location, less than 50 steps from the wharf, and the capacity is large enough to hold tens of thousands of stone of grain.

Li Yanqing turned over and dismounted, he had just taken a few steps, but he stopped suddenly, and he found that the gate and eaves had been wrapped in plain white cloth, and there was a faint cry from inside.

The anxiety in Li Yanqing's heart turned into despair, he knew that he was still one step late, at this moment, the warehouse door creaked open, Li Daqi walked out of the room, he secretly wiped the tears from his eyes, and when he looked up, he saw Li Yanqing, and he was immediately startled, "Qing'er, you.... What are you doing here? ”

Although Li Yanqing was a little relieved that his father's safety was safe, the stinging pain in his heart did not lessen at all, and he asked in a trembling voice: "Daddy, patriarch.... He's, he's been...."

Li Daqi nodded lightly, and couldn't help but turn his head, Li Yanqing's legs were weak, "Plop!" Kneeling in front of the gate, prostrate on the ground, tears gushing out, his shoulders rose and fell violently, crying silently, Li Daqi wanted to comfort his son a few words, he held his son's shoulder, his lips moved, whimpered twice, but he pillowed his son's shoulder again and cried bitterly......
