The last to come out was He Guan, who also performed well, finishing third with a total score of 450 points, and he was only five points less than Hua Rong. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The final results of the competition were announced, Li Yanqing won the championship with an absolute advantage of 545 points, Hua Rong won the second with 455 points, and He Guan ranked third with 450 points.

Not only did the first place match match the prediction, but the top three were also far from the prediction, which meant that most of the bets were lost.

However, this is just a kind of entertainment, and few people will risk their lives, except for a few closed shops that have suffered serious prediction errors and damaged their reputations, the impact is not very large.

When the results were released, tens of thousands of people watching the game thought that the game was over and began to leave the field and return to the city one after another.

Tens of thousands of spectators gathered around the arena again, they were more interested, looking forward to the next game, the nature of this game has completely changed, from the top ten competition to a challenge between two countries, into a competition for honor between the two countries.

In the stands, Tong Guanzheng drew lots on behalf of the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia envoy Jiao Yanjian to decide who would come first, because the Western Xia people's bow and horse challenge was very cruel and often caused casualties, so the order was crucial, and the first person could often shoot and defeat the opponent first.

At this time, a eunuch came quickly and whispered a few words in Tong Guan's ear, Tong Guan was stunned, half loud, he helplessly said to Jiao Yanjian: "No need to smoke, the Son of Heaven said that the guest is the first, you shoot first!" ”

Jiao Yanjian raised his head and smiled, "Then we will be as good as the host!" ”

.........

On the field, Li Yanqing immediately was a hundred steps away, holding a thick short sword, the arrow duel is the traditional duel method of Western Xia, because of the rival in love, the enemy or the money dispute, the two sides take turns to shoot each other's three arrows, life and death by the sky, if the three arrows can not hurt each other, then the grudges between the two sides will be written off, and each other can no longer find trouble with each other.

Arrow duels still often appeared in the pre-Qin era of the Central Plains, but since the Han Dynasty popularized the use of swords to duel, bow and arrow duels have rarely been seen, but they still exist in a small area, and the bow and arrow as a long-range weapon, its duel also has certain advantages, at least there will be no lose-lose situation.

The rules of the arrow duel are similar in the Western Xia and Song dynasties, both sides can be blocked with weapons, but shields are not allowed, weapons include short weapons and long weapons, this is not restricted, and another point is that it is not allowed to shoot horses, to some extent, horses are a meat shield, and finally there are requirements for distance, and the distance between the two sides cannot be less than 100 steps when sending arrows.

There was silence around the arena, from officials to soldiers and even civilians were very nervous, and they were actually drawn to the Western Xia warrior to shoot first, which made everyone's hearts hang in their throats, and they didn't know if Li Yanqing could block the opponent's first three arrows.

At this time, the dull drum sounded, the arrow duel began, and with a hideous smile on his face, Sajin urged the horse to move closer to Li Yanqing step by step, and he slowly pulled out a long arrow and buckled it on the longbow.

Sajin was also a two-stone bow, extremely rare among the Tanguts, and his powerful arrow power made him invincible in the Tangut, and he participated in at least ten archery duels, but each time ended with the shooting of the opponent.

"Are you shaking?"

Sagin laughed loudly: "I feel it, you are so scared that you want to kneel down and beg me!" ”

Before the words fell, he 'whoosh! The arrow was fast, straight to Li Yanqing's throat, Li Yanqing was not moved by his shouting, he squinted and watched the other party's every move, when the opponent's long arrow was shot, his short sword drew an arc in the air, and accurately slashed towards the arrow.

'When! The sword was striking the arrow, slashing the opponent's first arrow out, and the surrounding audience was stunned for a long time, and suddenly reacted, and suddenly burst into thunderous applause and cheers.

Sajin galloped on his horse, he twisted his body and shot another arrow, straight to Li Yanqing's leg from a very small angle, this arrow shot very insidiously, no matter how Li Yanqing dodged, there was only one choice, either to shoot Li Yanqing in the thigh, or to shoot his war horse.

Sa Jin bet that Li Yanqing would not let his beloved horse be injured, and he would definitely use his sword to chop the arrow, and immediately after the second arrow was shot, the third arrow was also shot, this arrow was a little higher, as long as Li Yanqing went to chop the second arrow, then the third arrow would be difficult to dodge, this was Sa Jin's desperate move, he participated in ten arrow duels, and eight people died on this move.

Sajin's judgment was not wrong, Li Yanqing found that the angle of this arrow was very tricky, whether he dodged forward, backward or sideways, his thighs could be dodged, but the horse couldn't.

Of course, Li Yanqing would not let his horse be injured, he was just about to swing his sword sideways and slash at the arrow, but his mind suddenly moved, and he immediately realized the trap of this arrow, he immediately changed his mind, and in a hurry, he raised his leg and kicked the arrow to the arrow, this arrow was full of power, and was kicked by the tip of his boot, the arrow changed direction and flew away against his scalp, which shocked Li Yanqing into a cold sweat.

At this time, the third arrow had been shot down, if he had bent down to split the arrow just now, then this arrow had hit the front door, and now, this arrow was shot at his chest, but Li Yanqing had already prepared, he did not hurry to swing his sword and slash, 'Dang! The arrow was split into two pieces and flew more than a foot away.

The three arrows have passed, Li Yanqing is safe and sound, and the anger held in the hearts of the surrounding audience finally vented, and roared everywhere, "It's our turn, shoot him!" ”

Seeing that Li Yanqing actually saw through his strategy, Sa Jin was extremely disappointed in his heart, threw the longbow to the ground, and also pulled out the long sword, they all have experience, dealing with dense arrows, it is better to use a long weapon to dial, but to fight alone, it is better to use a sword.

Li Yanqing sneered and pulled out the copper bow from the bow bag, he only had three iron arrows on his back, this was the first time he had used a copper bow and iron arrows on a formal occasion.

"My arrows are heavy, beware!"

"Don't talk nonsense, shoot if you want!"

Li Yanqing pulled out an iron arrow, took the bow and wound it, he rode the horse with his legs, and the war horse began to run slowly, when he and the other party formed a 'Ding' angle, Li Yanqing waited for the opportunity and decisively shot the arrow.

'Collapse! With a loud bang, the iron arrow shot at the gate of Sajin Mian like lightning, when the first arrow was shot, Li Yanqing's second arrow had been put on the bowstring, pulling the bow like a full moon, and another arrow was shot, and then the third arrow was also launched, and the three beaded arrows were wrapped in strong strength and shot towards the other party.

Sa Jin never dreamed that the other party's arrow speed would be so fast, and he came to the front in the blink of an eye, so frightened that he shuddered, and swung his sword to slash away, 'Dang! The iron arrow collided with the iron sword, and although the iron arrow was barely blocked, it shook his arm numb, sore, and weak, and the sword in his hand almost came out of his hand.

Before he could catch his breath, the second arrow came to him again in the blink of an eye, and the trajectory of the first arrow was exactly the same, and it was too late to take him in front of the door, and it was too late to slash with his sword, so Sajin had to instinctively lie backwards, and dodged the third arrow with a move of the iron plate bridge.

But the third arrow came to him again, this is Li Yanqing to return his body with the way of others, he knows that there is no second way to go except to lie down, so the third arrow is slightly lowered, and it is still shooting at his face.

Sakin could no longer dodge, and in a moment of despair, he instinctively put his arm to his head and screamed in horror.

'Click! The arrow struck him in the left elbow, and the force of the arrow shattered his elbow joint, leaving only a bit of flesh to hang from his arm, and Sajin screamed in tears, and immediately fainted, and his body fell from his horse to the ground.

There was an uproar all around, everyone was stunned by Li Yanqing's extremely powerful three arrows, they only saw Li Yanqing's three arrows shot out continuously, and they killed the other party without the power to resist, and finally the enemy was hit by the arrow and turned over and fell off the horse, life and death were unknown, but soon, excited cheers came from all directions, and the whole arena was boiling.

More than a dozen patrol soldiers rushed forward, carried Sajin down on a stretcher, and led the war horse away, Li Yanqing picked up his three iron arrows, raised his hands high, and the excited shouts once again drowned out the entire arena.

.........

"Li Shaojun!"

An official rushed and shouted, "Your Majesty summons! ”

Li Yanqing turned over and dismounted, handed the horses and weapons to the soldiers, and followed the officials to walk quickly to the stands.

Zhao Ji laughed happily, and said to the surrounding officials: "This is the most exciting game since I ascended the throne, and I have taken a bad breath for me. ”

Cai Jing smirked hypocritically: "It is precisely because of His Majesty's wise decision-making that Li Yanqing can play so bravely, this is Your Majesty's great blessing!" ”

The ministers praised the Son of Heaven as the king of a great country, and having both martial arts and virtues is the foundation of victory.

Zhao Ji listened very comfortably, in fact, he also felt that he had made a wise decision, let Xixia shoot first, not only had the demeanor of a great country, but also kept the final victory, he had a sense of participation, and there was a sense of satisfaction of victory in his heart.

At this time, the guards walked briskly with Li Yanqing, and Li Yanqing knelt down and saluted: "Student Li Yanqing sees His Majesty the Emperor, I wish my Emperor His Majesty long live, long live, long live!" ”

Zhao Ji waved his hand with a smile on his face and said, "Li Shaoqing is flat!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Yanqing is not an ordinary Bai Ding, he has the status of a student, and to some extent belongs to the protégé of the Son of Heaven, he can meet the Son of Heaven.

Zhao Ji smiled slightly, "I heard King Jia talk about you, saying that you are not only last year's Xiangzhou Xie Yuan, but also strong archery, but I didn't expect that in the end, it was actually the crown of the archery and horse competition, and archery is unique in the world, such a civil and military all-rounder, it is really rare, and it is also my great Song Dynasty's luck!" ”

"Your Majesty, students are only good at archery, and other martial arts are also very common."

"What's your calligraphy?" As soon as Zhao Ji changed the topic, he shifted from martial arts to text.

"Students have copied Su Huang font since childhood."

Zhao Ji nodded, "Su Huang's zigzag is very thick, it is indeed everyone's work, but there are too many people copying, and it can't show personality. ”

Zhao Ji's thin gold body does not have his consent, no one dares to copy it at will, Zhao Ji This is the quasi-Li Yanqing copying his font, in fact, it doesn't make any sense, it's just that Zhao Ji feels good about himself.

Although Li Yanqing was not interested, he had to take a serious position, "Thank you, student, Your Majesty for your generous gift!" ”

"This time you won the championship of the Bow and Horse Competition, I should promote you to an officer, I wonder if you are interested in the army?"

Tong Guan was taken aback, Li Yanqing was his pawn in meddling in the government, how could he join the army? He hurriedly looked at Li Yanqing and asked him not to agree.

In fact, even if Tong Guan didn't remind him, Li Yanqing would not join the army now, relying only on the grace of the Son of Heaven and without his own imperial examination capital, it would be difficult for him to be promoted as an official.

Li Yanqing bowed and said: "The student is still young, it is not suitable to be an official, the student has decided to participate in the imperial examination in the next year, I hope Your Majesty will approve it!" ”

Zhao Ji smiled and said: "Youth is not an excuse, the Great Song Dynasty has always attached importance to prodigies, Xiang Guo Yan Shu was awarded the same Jinshi background at the age of fourteen, and the secretary was born in the province of Zhengzi, Cai Boyu was born as a Jinshi at the age of seven, and entered the East Palace to study, as well as Li Shu, Yang Yi and other famous ministers are all eleven or twelve years old, if you want, I can give you the same Jinshi background, make up the secretary provincial orthography, what do you think?" ”

The secretary of the province is to enter the palace to accompany the reading, accompany the prince to study, and teach them to practice bows and arrows by the way, Zhao Ji saw that several princes admired Li Yanqing, so he had the heart to let him enter the palace.

But Li Yanqing still shook his head, "Your Majesty is grateful to the students, but participating in the imperial examination is the wish of the student's grandfather and father for several generations, and it is also the student's ambition since childhood, I hope Your Majesty will fulfill it!" ”

The emperor of the Song Dynasty had this benefit, he was very tolerant of his courtiers, and he would never turn his face and get angry at every turn, and the ministers of the Song Dynasty did not feel like accompanying the king, so Li Yanqing's refusal did not make Zhao Ji angry, but he smiled happily: "Since you have great ambitions, then I will fulfill you and allow you to participate in the spring festival of the next year!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Ji thought for a while and said: "Since you don't want to be an official, then I will give your father the title of Wu Delang, a reward of 1,000 taels, and a mansion to commend him for teaching such an excellent son for me!" ”

"Thank your father for Your Majesty Long En!"
