Before dawn, the people of Bianjing flocked to Beidaying one after another, everyone wanted to occupy a better seat, according to the rules, the arrow warriors of the Liao State and the Western Xia only carried out some performance archery today, and they did not participate in the Song Dynasty's own ten-strong competition. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the big tent, ten arrow warriors gathered together, and the privy envoy Tong Guanzheng temporarily summoned them to announce several important events.

"There are three major events to tell you today, the first thing is that the Son of Heaven will come to the arena to watch today's game, and I hope everyone will cheer up, show their best state, and play their best archery skills."

After a pause, Tong Guan observed everyone's expressions, and saw that everyone's eyes showed excitement, he nodded with satisfaction, and continued: "The second thing is probably to disappoint some samurai, this is also the request of the Son of Heaven, everyone can only modify the rules, and the top ten tournament will be rescored, that is to say, the results of the original finals will no longer be brought to the tournament, I'm sorry!" ”

Everyone looked at each other, this news really surprised and delighted most people, I am afraid that except for Li Yanqing, everyone is secretly happy in their hearts, which means that each of them has the hope of competing for the first place, after all, Li Yanqing's eighty points yesterday have already crushed everyone.

Tong Guan glanced at Li Yanqing sympathetically, and seeing that his face was expressionless, he raised his voice again and continued: "Now let's talk about the third thing, about the reward of this bow horse competition!" ”

There was a sudden silence in the big tent, everyone held their breath, this is also something they are extremely concerned about, of course everyone hopes to be promoted and make a fortune, even Yang Zaixing hopes that he has a little more capital, and after entering the seed army in the future, he doesn't have to start from a small soldier, at least he can be a head and so on.

However, Li Yanqing was a little confused, he participated in the bow horse competition just to meet his master's last wish, he was just a student, and basically had nothing to do with the army for the time being, and there was no expectation, so his heart was as plain as water, if it wasn't for politeness, he even wanted to leave.

"There are two rewards for this bow and horse competition, one is the reward of your place of origin, according to the experience of the last session, there should be, the samurai from the forbidden army will be rewarded by the forbidden army, the samurai from Taixue, Taixue will also have a reward, this piece is different for everyone, and it has nothing to do with us, I will only talk about the rewards of the imperial court, the last competition, the top ten samurai were given a reward for official promotion, this time it is the same, if you enter the top three, the imperial court will give the official promotion to the second level of reward, the edict of the Son of Heaven has been signed, here, I would like to congratulate you all in advance. ”

There was a whisper in the big tent, and Tong Guan smiled: "Let's go and prepare!" After the arrival of the saint, the game officially began. ”

Everyone turned around and left the tent, and Tong Guan shouted: "Li Yanqing stay, I have something to say to you." ”

Many people cast sympathetic glances at Li Yanqing, he is just a student, can he still be promoted?

After a while, everyone walked away, and only Tong Guan and Li Yanqing were left in the big tent, Tong Guan said apologetically: "Yesterday's results can't be brought to today, I'm afraid it's your biggest loss, I'm sorry!" ”

Li Yanqing shook his head, "Taiwei doesn't have to be like this, I don't care!" ”

"Yes! Your archery skills are so good that you won't be far off today, but ..... The reward of the imperial court, as a student, is a bit difficult to do.... Taixue's upgrade has to be reported to the national superintendent for special approval, but with Cai Xiangguo in the middle, I'm afraid it won't go too well, do you understand what I mean? ”

"Upgrading is nothing more than the middle school students in the upper dormitory, and the students don't care."

"That being said, it's still not fair to you."

Tong Guan groaned and said, "That's it! If you can't get the reward this time, I just said if, then when I owe you, when you enter the office, I will definitely compensate you, I will do what I say, and I will never lose my word. ”

Li Yanqing had to admire Tong Guan's old ginger, in just a few words, it was originally a reward given to him by the imperial court, but it became his Tong Guan's reward, which was originally what he deserved, and it also became his Tong Guan's favor.

However, Li Yanqing is really not interested in this kind of promotion reward, many times, especially in the late Northern Song Dynasty, promotion may not be lucky, but will be a trap, he still has to go his own way, don't fall too deep with Tong Guan, in history, whether from Cai Jing's henchmen or Tong Guan's henchmen, there is no good end, he has to be leisurely.

Tong Guan saw that Li Yanqing was silent, so he stopped mentioning this matter, and asked lightly: "Yanqing, you are a student of Taiqing, you should feel a little deeper than me, do you think there will be some kind of connection between the army and Taixue?" ”

Li Yanqing immediately realized that this was Tong Guan wanting to put his hand into Taixue, but he didn't seem to have thought about what to do?

Of course Li Yanqing knows what to do? He smiled and said, "Does the Taiwei still remember the soldier army in Tangyin County?" Although Jiang Zhixian's approach is a bit absurd, everyone admits that after a month of military training, everyone's sense of discipline and group concept have been significantly strengthened, and more importantly, the body has been exercised. ”

The more Tong Guan listened, the brighter his eyes became, and when he heard that in the end, he couldn't wait to hug Li Yanqing and bite it hard, which made his heart flutter, military training, what a good excuse, Tong Guan began to imagine the situation of pulling the students to the military camp for a year of training, and giving small favors in the middle, are you afraid that they will not be loyal to you?

Li Yanqing saw that Tong Guan was a little out of shape, so he bowed down and said, "If the captain has nothing to do, the student will go and prepare first." ”

"Ahh Go ahead! ”

Li Yanqing saluted and turned around and left the big tent, and Tong Guan stayed in the tent alone to continue thinking.

Li Yanqing returned to prepare the big tent, he first needed to change into his armor, but he saw that Yang Zaixing had already changed his armor in the big tent, but he didn't leave, obviously waiting for him.

The soldiers who were waiting for him hurriedly stepped forward to put on his armor, and Yang Zaixing walked over and said, "I just heard that the Western Xia warriors fought with a group of yamen in the alum tower last night, how could it be so coincidental?" ”

Li Yanqing glanced at the soldiers, gave Yang Zaixing another look, and said with a smile: "The Western Xia warriors are so brave and ruthless, they will fight with people wherever they are, I think it's normal, and it is possible that they have been provoked by others." ”

Li Yanqing actually hinted at Yang Zaixing, it was he who provoked the Western Xia warriors, Yang Zaixing suddenly understood, it turned out that Li Yanqing went back last night, and it was really for this matter.

He couldn't help but laugh and said, "If that's the case, it is estimated that they won't be able to make any waves today." ”

"Most of the Western Xia warriors couldn't make waves, but there was one exception."

"You mean the gold?"

Li Yanqing nodded, "Although he was defeated by my men yesterday, he will never be convinced, if it were me, I would not be convinced, there are loopholes in listening to the drum itself, and it is easy to be exploited, what if this drummer is more patriotic and slows down the drum beat a little bit when I shoot arrows?" ”

Yang Zaixing nodded, "Maybe you're right, he is indeed unconvinced, but what can he do?" ”

"I don't know, anyway, I have to keep a hand today."

.......

When the sky was bright, the exercise ground was already surrounded by a sea of people, with nearly 80,000 Bianjing people and soldiers crowded on the east, west, and south sides, and 5,000 soldiers responsible for maintaining order.

The grandstand on the north side was rebuilt last night, and dozens of seats were raised in the middle, which were for the Son of Heaven and the princes of the Emperor, and the seats around were civil and military officials, since the Son of Heaven arrived, many officials of the imperial court would of course also come.

The judges and senior generals had no seats, and they were all arranged under the stands, and some low stools were reluctantly arranged for them.

The sun is getting higher and higher, but the game has not started for a long time, and the surrounding people are talking louder and louder, as if it is like boiling a pot.

At this moment, a group of soldiers of the Royal Forest Army appeared, and a group of flags and umbrellas appeared in the north stand, and the surroundings gradually quieted down, and the people and soldiers finally realized that the Son of Heaven had also come to watch the game.

At this time, a huge Huangluo umbrella cover appeared in the stands, and dozens of palace maids surrounded a middle-aged man, it was Zhao Ji, the son of the Great Song Dynasty, who was wearing a bright yellow ordinary clothes, wearing a gauze hat, and a smile, followed by more than a dozen young men and women, all of them were energetic and brightly dressed, it was his sons and daughters, and then followed by a large group of civil and military officials.

Tong Guan hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "Weichen welcomes Your Majesty!" ”

Although the Alum Tower incident happened last night, it did not affect Zhao Ji's mood at this time, he sat down on the dragon chair in the middle, looked at the crowds around him, and said with great interest: "Happy with the people!" It's been a long time since I've participated in an event like this. ”

"When the warriors heard that His Majesty was coming, they all geared up to show their skills for His Majesty!"

Zhao Ji smiled slightly, "It's not too early, let's start!" ”
