Li Yanqing had just walked dozens of steps when he suddenly heard a deep voice from the woods next to him, "Are you ..... Li Yanqing! ”

As soon as Li Yanqing turned around, he saw two people walking out of the woods, and in front of him was a middle-aged official, although his temples were gray, he was still polite and indescribably gentle. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"You are.... Li Zhizhou! ”

Li Yanqing suddenly recognized this man, it turned out to be Li Kui, the governor of the prefecture back then, he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to salute.

Li Kui is nearly sixty years old, but he is very well maintained, he looks about fifty years old, but his temples are gray, it can be seen that he is not young, he is currently Taichang Shaoqing, Jingnan Road pacification envoy.

Li Kui just saw Li Yanqing teaching the four Yanei, and secretly applauded in his heart, but found that this young man was very familiar, Li Yanqing's appearance had changed a lot, he felt that it was Li Yanqing, but he was not sure.

He also heard his eldest son say that Li Yanqing won the first place in the Xiangzhou Liberation Examination, and now he is studying in Taixue, he wants to go to see Li Yanqing, but he is rarely in the capital, and he happened to return to Beijing to report on his work these days, but he didn't expect to meet Li Yanqing in Alum Tower.

Li Kui stroked his beard and said, "Li Shaojun, we haven't seen each other for six or seven years!" ”

"It's been seven years since I returned to Shibo."

"Yes! Time flies so fast. ”

Li Kui turned around and beckoned, "You should still know each other!" Li Yanqing, the little Langjun of the year. ”

Li Yanqing had already seen the person behind Li Kui, an eleven or twelve-year-old lady, combed with a double-ring bun, with picturesque eyebrows and eyes, eyes like deep pools, a tall and beautiful nose, and a bright red cherry mouth, although she was not very old, she was beautiful and beautiful.

Only she was wearing an emerald green undergarment, and the lower body was a garnet-red pleated long skirt, with a slender and slender figure, but her body had not yet grown up, and she still looked a little weak.

"Are you..... Nine True Girls! ”

When Li Yanqing met Li Jiuzhen, she was only five years old, and now she has grown into a beautiful girl.

Li Jiuzhen no longer has the enthusiasm and heartiness of the little girl in the past, she is obviously a little more reserved as a girl, a blush flew over her pretty face, and she nodded slightly, admitting that she is Li Jiuzhen.

Li Yanqing hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Yanqing apologizes to Miss Jiuzhen, that note was accidentally washed by me when I was washing, and I couldn't send a book to the girl!" ”

Li Yanqing promised Li Jiuzhen that he would send her the second part of the Great Sage's Monster Hunt, but he wet the note with the address on it, and the promise was not fulfilled in the end.

Li Jiuzhen has returned to normal, and she smiled lightly: "Children joke, Li Shaojun doesn't have to take it to heart. ”

At this time, a pretty young woman in the distance beckoned to Li Jiuzhen, "Jiuzhen, come here!" ”

Li Jiuzhen saluted his father, "Daddy, I'll go to my sister first." ”

"Go ahead!"

Li Jiuzhen secretly glanced at Li Yanqing again, and then hurriedly went upstairs.

Li Yanqing looked at her and walked away, Li Kui smiled and said, "Li Shaojun, I heard that you have entered Taixue, congratulations!" ”

"Thank you Shibo for helping my father back then, and thank Brother Li for speaking out honestly and bluntly, so that Yanqing was able to pass the Liberation Exam."

"You still have to rely on yourself, without the support of your own talents, no one can help you, by the way, what is your father doing now?"

"My father is also in the capital and is currently engaged in business."

Li Kui sighed lowly, "What a pity! Your father was also Xie Yuan back then, and if nothing happened, he would probably already be a Jinshi. ”

Li Yanqing smiled slightly, "Being a businessman can create wealth and serve the country, I don't think there's anything wrong with it." ”

"That's right, this dynasty does not discriminate against merchants, I hope your father can be a Confucian merchant, I live in Xiangyang all the year round, if there is anything I need help with, just ask, I will do my best."

"Thank you for your care!"

Li Kui nodded, "Where are you sitting?" ”

"The student is sitting at No. 337 of the Autumn Building."

"Then it's far away, I'm sitting in the Spring Tower, I'm going to see Jiuzhen, go up first."

"Shibo, please!"

Li Kui walked a few steps, then turned back to Li Yanqing and said, "Try not to provoke them in those yamen, the little ghost is difficult, you have to understand this truth!"

"Yanqing understands, thank you Shibo for reminding me."

Li Kui quickly walked back upstairs, Li Yanqing looked at the place where Liang Qing fell to the ground just now, the person was gone, and then he turned around and walked upstairs.

．．．．．．．．．

The time is almost dusk, most of the guests have arrived at the alum building, the alum tower is very lively, more than a thousand guests gather in twos and threes to chat, and in an open space in the summer building, more than 100 young men and women gathered together to play, Li Yanqing couldn't help but walk up quickly.

It turned out that he was playing with literary shooting, and I saw three standard quivers placed against the wall, a steward standing next to each side, and various prizes were placed on the table behind him.

Archery is a traditional entertainment, from the palace banquet to the gathering of ordinary people, the entertainment will be held, and the guests will put out some colorful heads to help the fun.

Today is the Zheng family's treat, of course, the color head is very precious, mainly gold and silver, the worst is also a silver fruit, that is, a small ingot of silver, the appearance is like a pipa fruit, weighing one or two, the most expensive is a pair of pure gold Damascus gold pots, each weighing at least fifty taels, from here it can also be seen that the Zheng family is more tacky, all use gold and silver to make color heads.

However, the second most expensive thing is a sword, called Xiangzhou Sword, which is one of the thirteen swords of Daliang, although this sword is worth at least a thousand gold, but the Zheng family only spent five hundred taels of silver to buy it from a quality warehouse in Anyang, so it can only rank second in the lottery.

The people who participated in the shooting were divided into two groups, one group was mainly young scribes and young girls, they were the largest in number, they were all the children of official eunuchs, mainly for entertainment, and the level was relatively poor.

There are about 20 people in the other group, basically all men, most of them are tall, some are young, and some are old, they all have serious expressions, basically standing outside the two-zhang line and projecting, whether it is shooting or accuracy, it can be seen that they are very professional.

Judging from their walking posture and standing straight, Li Yanqing immediately judged that this was a group of military generals, and there were quite a few martial artists among the people attending the banquet today, and they were mainly divided into three types of people, one was the children of powerful officials and eunuchs, most of them served as guards in the palace, waiting for the opportunity to become officials, and this kind of young children were more willing to interact with civil officials who held real power.

The other type of people are generations of lords, they are often crowned with the titles of generals, generals, governors, and envoys, and their officials are high-class, but they are in name only, and they are supported by the imperial court with Houlu, although this kind of people hold military positions, they have always regarded themselves as civil officials, and disdain to be in the company of military generals.

Another type of people is professional military generals, their official positions are not high, but they hold military power, and they are divided into two types: the forbidden military department and the border military department, and his intuition told Li Yanqing that this group of people is a professional military general, and Zheng Fatzi also told him that there are not many generals invited this time, only twenty or thirty people.

Li Yanqing walked forward quickly, only to find that it was the two of them who were competing in Wen Ejaculation, one was about thirty years old, with long arms and vigorous gait, and he looked extremely shrewd and capable, but he had already seen sweat on his forehead, and it was obvious that he had fallen into the wind.

Li Yanqing's eyes turned to look at the other contestant, the other person was about the same age and dressed gorgeously, but Li Yanqing suddenly found that this person was bald, and he didn't look like a Han between his eyebrows and eyes, Li Yanqing couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

At this moment, someone patted Li Yanqing on the shoulder, Li Yanqing turned around, it turned out to be Cao Sheng, Li Yanqing had not seen him since hunting.

"Brother Cao, it's been a long time." Li Yanqing hurriedly saluted.

Cao Sheng smiled and said, "I was looking for you these two days, I'm sorry for something." ”

"What's the matter?"

"It's about the registration of the bow horse competition, this year's registration is different from the last time, you must register in your hometown, your hometown is in Xiangzhou, you can only go back to Xiangzhou, or you can register directly in Taixue, I can't help you."

"Then forget it, I'll go to Taixue and try it, thank you Brother Cao."

At this time, someone next to him booed softly, and the two stopped talking.

The tall and thin man threw the last arrow, only to see the copper arrow bounce on the edge of the copper kettle and roll into the copper kettle, and everyone next to him sighed at the same time, and everyone's eyes turned to the bald man again.

Cao Sheng lowered his voice and said: "This person's name is Sa Jin, the son of the famous Western Xia general Sa Chen, and the number one archer in the six classes of the Western Xia Imperial Siege, and he is very good at arching and horses. ”

"What about the tall skinny one?" Li Yanqing's voice was also very subtle.

"His name is Wang Yingjie, he is a general under a kind of general, and he is also famous for his bow and horse, and the eldest one in front is the old master."

Li Yanqing followed Cao Sheng's gaze, and saw a veteran standing next to him, about sixty years old, with bronzed skin, thick eyebrows and a wide face, and a pair of extremely sharp eyes, but his eyes were full of annoyance and helplessness.

This veteran is the Shaanxi Jingluo envoy Seed Master Dao, he was snubbed by Wenchen, so he took a few men down to play with the shooting pot to relieve boredom, but the Western Xia envoy Jiao Yanjian stepped forward to bet with him to compete, and the Seed Master Dao readily agreed, but Jiao Yanjian brought the Western Xia national hand to sa gold, first defeated the general Han Ying, and then suppressed the general Wang Yingjie.

Sa Jin has eight shots, but Wang Yingjie is seven out of nine, and the following is the ninth shot of Sa Jin, if Sa Jin hits the ninth vote again, it will be a sure victory.

Like playing with a throwing knife, he spun the copper arrow in his hand, and the copper arrow came out of his hand.

'When! With a crisp sound, the copper arrow shot steadily into the copper kettle.

There was a sigh of regret around him, even if Wang Yingjie hit the last two arrows, he would have lost, Wang Yingjie was full of shame, bowed down and said: "Humble and incompetent!"

Jiao Yanjian smiled, "If the seed scripture admits defeat, then I will take this sword." ”

The sword that Jiao Yanjian pointed to was the second-ranked Xiangzhou sword in Caitou, and Sa Jin took a fancy to this sword.

The seed master said coldly: "I have made an appointment to win three battles in five battles, and now I have only two wins, does the envoy think that he has won?" ”

"I'm not in a hurry, if there are still capable people in the scriptures, we are willing to accompany them to the end!"

The planter shook off his robe, "I'll meet you in person!" ”

The two generals who were good at bows and arrows under the Seed Master Dao were defeated, and he really couldn't find anyone except himself.

At this moment, a young voice smiled and said: "Kill chickens with a cattle slaughtering knife, and the students are willing to fight for the seed scripture!" ”
