The competition soon began, Xungui first began to ride and shoot, only to see those young children of the royal family, riding horses, holding bows, arrows and arrows broke through the air, and shot the gourd hanging on the willow tree a hundred steps away, and the crisp cry of partridges sounded in the sky, and countless partridges flapped their wings away.

Naturally, the Wenchen side was not to be outdone, these young civil officials were all selected from among the civil officials who were good at riding and archery, and many of them immediately crossed their horses and drew their bows, joined the ranks of the competition, and shot an arrow towards the gourd belonging to their side on the side of the middle line.

After Mei Zhihuan finished shooting an arrow, he returned to the team, and when he passed in front of Zhang Jingxiu, the head of the Ministry of Rites, who was ranked fourth in the civil service, he only heard Zhang Jingxiu say: "I have heard that Mei Gong's riding and shooting is extraordinary, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation." ”

Mei Zhihuan stood up and said lightly: "I heard that Zhang Gong secretly launched the imperial history book to pull Zhang Taiyue out and whip the corpse, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

Zhang Jingxiu, an important member of the Zhejiang Party, laughed and said: "Zhang Juzhengguo's great traitor, if he doesn't burn his body and break his bones, it is not enough to pay for his crime!" ”

Mei Zhihuan laughed, turned his head, stared at Zhang Jingxiu and said, "If Zhang Taiyue is still here today, will you and other shameless people dare to do this?" After that, he ignored Zhang Jingxiu, who was standing there, and strode away.

On the school field, the competition was in full swing, after the honorable team finished shooting a round, another round of people and horses poured out of the civil official team, walking towards the field, what surprised Sun Yueling was that there was a middle-aged civil official with a clear face and thin eyebrows after stepping on a war horse, he was not in a hurry to shoot arrows, but rode a horse in the field for a while, and after a circle under the Ziguang Pavilion platform of the Emperor of Heaven, he came to the willow tree a hundred steps away, and an arrow flew away.

After two "pop" sounds, this person actually pierced two gourds with an arrow, and the partridge in the gourd croaked and flew into the air.

Everyone was stunned by this person's one-shot skill, and even the Emperor of the Apocalypse applauded and took the lead in applauding, and suddenly there was thunderous applause in the audience. The man immediately bowed in the direction of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and then looked in all directions, his expression extremely proud.

"Who is this, who has such an archery technique?" Sun Yueling was also amazed and asked about Lu Xiangsheng.

Lu Xiangsheng replied: "This person is Yuan Chonghuan, the newly promoted director of the Ministry of War. ”

"What?" Sun Yueling almost dropped his jaw in shock, the unremarkable and inconspicuous civil official in front of him was actually the "Yuan Boss" who would supervise Liaodong in the future, hold the Guanning Iron Cavalry, and command the fierce generals like clouds, and bombard Nurhachi back to the Taizi River with one shot - Yuan Chonghuan.

The world is unpredictable, and the will of heaven is obvious, but I didn't expect to let him meet him in the inner school field.

Seeing him so surprised, Lu Xiangsheng was puzzled: "Why is Brother Sun so surprised? ”

Sun Yueling coughed dryly, suppressed the churning in his heart, and prevaricated: "This ...... This Lord Yuan, I have heard of his name for a long time, and when I saw it today, it is indeed worthy of its name! ”

Lu Xiangsheng continued: "This Yuan Master once went to Shanhaiguan to inspect alone a month ago, and after returning, he wrote that as long as he was given enough soldiers, horses, money and food, he could defend Shanhaiguan alone. After a pause, he added, "His move has attracted the praise and praise of countless princes and ministers in the court, and they have written letters to recommend him to serve in Liaodong." ”

This allusion to riding alone to read the plug, even if Sun Yueling has not read much, he has heard of it, and said at the moment: "What does the virtuous brother think of his move?" ”

An indescribable look appeared on his face, and he didn't know whether to agree or deny, and said: "This move, in the case of Liaodong being in danger and no one is available, is naturally commendable for courage, but ......" sighed and said, "If you want to say that you can defend Shanhaiguan with the strength of one person, even Xiong Tingbi, who was known as a scheming back then, can't do it, and when he says this now, it seems that he is a bit of a taste of taking advantage of the situation to become famous and quick success......"

He shook his head again and said with a smile: "Maybe I'm too worried, after all, I can voluntarily move forward when the Liao affairs are in danger and no one dares to go, what a great courage and confidence this is, just by virtue of this, Lu is also ashamed and ashamed!" ”

Sun Yueling smiled, noncommittal, thinking to himself that you don't know how this Lord Yuan will behave in the future, if you know that he will be arbitrary and kill the Quartet in the future, I am afraid that you will not only be ashamed, but afraid and speechless.

The competition is still going on, but so far, it seems that many arrows on the civilian side have missed, and although some of them have been shot, they have also killed the partridges inside. The honorable side has a visual lead of no less than three partridges, and the competition is nearing the end, if it continues like this, the civil officials will lose.

At this time, the military attaché was already very arrogant, and even repeatedly attacked those civilian officials who came on the field. What everyone didn't expect was that Wen Zhenmeng, the new champion among the civil officials, actually temporarily said that he would not participate in mounted archery and was willing to give up his qualification for the competition. He took the lead, and several civilian officials who had been forced to participate in the cavalry also retreated and voluntarily gave up their qualifications.

Mei Zhihuan was furious, he knew that these civil officials were afraid that they would miss the arrow and be embarrassed on the spot, or they disdained to hold the bow and shoot the arrow, ashamed of carrying a knife, and proud of catching a pen. He knows too well that this class of corrupt Confucianism is unmatched, and no one can do anything to rejuvenate the country through hard work, how can the country recover its strength if it continues to develop like this.

"Lu Xiangsheng, you shoot willows for me!" Mei Zhihuan shouted at Lu Xiangsheng, this was his last hope. Even if you lose, you must lose with dignity.

Lu Xiangsheng is finally gone, and unless he can shoot four arrows with one shot, he can't get back the defeat.

On Xungui's side, after Xu Xianchun, a new martial artist, shot the last arrow, he stepped aside and looked coldly at Lu Xiangsheng who stepped into the entrance.

Lu Xiangsheng flew on his horse and galloped back and forth in the field. This is the only chance for the civilian official to recover from the defeat, and it is also the last arrow, and he feels a great responsibility and even more pressure.

So he had to ride his horse back and forth, adjust his condition, and feel the distance a hundred paces away. He has been familiar with bows and arrows since he was a child, and his archery skills can be described as extraordinary, even if he is allowed to kill two birds with one stone from a distance of 200 steps, he can do it himself.

But now if you want to win this game, you have to kill four birds with one stone, which is very difficult, he has never tried it before, and he is also very worried in his heart, and he is not completely sure.

After the warm-up, Lu Xiangsheng turned the horse's head, urged the horse to gallop, pulled his bow and arrows, calculated the angle and direction, and aimed at the row of gourds hanging on the branches of the willow trees in the distance.

Everyone held their breath and didn't dare to make the slightest sound, looking at Lu Xiangsheng who was urging forward in the field. Sun Yueling was even more nervous, he hadn't practiced archery well, and asked himself that with the "Ziwei Doujue" mental method he practiced, he could shoot two arrows in a hundred steps, but now Lu Xiangsheng's difficulty was much beyond his imagination.

With a "whoosh", the bowstring sounded, and Lu Xiangsheng finally sent out the last arrow.

The long arrow shot away, and in an instant it reached the side of the willow tree, and with a "snap", it shot through a gourd, and then the arrow was also shocked to the right slightly, shooting towards the other gourds hanging in the back.

There was another "snap", and a gourd was shot, and the long arrow did not stop, and after piercing another gourd, it shot towards the farthest gourd.

But after all, it was difficult to calculate the strength and angle, and this feather arrow could graze the edge of the gourd, and finally broke down.

With three arrows, three partridges flew into the air and circled away.

The civilian side was finally narrowly defeated by the side of the military attachés by a partridge.

"Good archery!" Even if he was defeated, Mei Zhihuan also took the lead in shouting, although he was defeated, but Lu Xiangsheng's three arrows have earned enough face for Wenchen, and I am afraid that no one on the military attaché's side can do it.

"What a Lu Xiangsheng!" Someone shouted along, and there was a round of applause in the square, congratulating and saluting him.

Sun Yueling also applauded, although he was defeated, he was still glorious despite defeat, and he was not ashamed at all.

The military attache was also very surprised when they saw Lu Xiangsheng's amazing archery, and they all restrained their arrogance, and they were no longer as domineering and unscrupulous as they were at the beginning.

Under the auspices of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, the teams on both sides were rewarded, each of them added a month's salary, and the leaders of the two sides were given two months of additional money and a colorful sword.

The second round of the competition came to an end, and next, it was the last round of the internal exercise conference, the sword martial arts competition, and the most dangerous last round.

After Wang Tiqian, the host of the conference, announced the start of the third round, the teams of both sides will each send three people to participate in the competition. The first person sent by Zhang Zhiji was Xu Xianchun, a martial artist who served in Jinyiwei, and the first person sent by Mei Zhihuan was Liu Youfu, the temple leader of Dali Temple. This Liu Youfu is the son of Liu Zongzheng, deputy commander of the Soldiers and Horses Division of the Nancheng Division of the Beijing Division, and learned martial arts since he was a child, but his father did not let him join the army, but made him a civilian through the door and entered the civil official system of the Ming Dynasty.

Xu Xianchun and Liu Youfu stood in the center of the square, and after a few polite words to each other, they began to compare martial arts.

Xu Xianchun made Jinyiwei's embroidered spring knife, this kind of knife is thin and long, extremely sharp, and is most suitable for sudden killing. The weapon Liu Youfu used was a wide long sword. The two of them each used their best martial arts, determined to earn face and glory for one side of their camp.

Although the rule of this contest is to stop at the point and not to hurt one's life, but the sword has no eyes, and if it really fights to a fierce stalemate, in order to distinguish the success or failure, it is inevitable that it will not be able to stop and hurt people. But this kind of competition is very dangerous, if you lose and get injured, you can only blame yourself for not being good at learning and not being as good as others.

At this time, the entire square was staring at the duel in the square, and their eyes did not blink for a moment.

Sun Yueling was naturally watching, and he was watching with great interest. Since he practiced the "Ziwei Fighting Technique" and "Liaoyuan Hundred Kills", he felt that his cultivation in martial arts had improved a lot, and at this moment, looking at the competition between the two in the field, he felt that he could see clearly and clearly at a glance, very thoroughly.

Xu Xianchun's knife skills are obviously higher than Liu Youfu's, under his fierce offensive, although Liu Youfu will not be defeated within thirty moves, but once the thirty moves are passed, I am afraid that he will no longer be able to resist Xu Xianchun's knife skills, and he must be defeated.

The only sound of jingling in his ears was heard, and the two people in the field had already consumed a lot of strength in a series of battles, and their moves had gradually slowed down, and even the roar was not as high-pitched and powerful as it had been at the beginning.
