Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Marksman
There are a total of five selections: archery, twenty steps outside the seven, seven out of ten is considered to pass; Riding and riding horses in a field full of obstacles, running a lap within a stick of incense is considered to be passed; Riding and archery, galloping sideways for 100 paces, during which five arrows are shot at a target 20 paces away, and one of the three arrows is considered to have passed; brainpower, given four planks of different shapes, and dozens of shapes, any twenty of which are placed in a stick of incense; The last fight, as long as you can hold on to twenty breaths under the siege of ten men in black, you can pass the level.
Soldiers are free to sign up for the event, each project is limited to 1,000 people, and passing any of them will be considered passing, and if they fail, they will be eliminated. This is to take care of the emperor's war and not to let the elite of the prince's guard be lost.
At that time, according to Zhong Likan and Shen Qing's meaning, they were allowed to participate casually. If it doesn't work, it will be eliminated to Huangfu Zhanwen. Qin Lei looked at the pale-faced Huangfu Zhanwen, shook his head and rejected this suggestion. Let Huangfu Zhanwen be secretly grateful.
In fact, Qin Lei also had to do it as a last resort, and agreed with the prince at that time, one was to form five special teams, and the other was to help him rectify the prince's guards. If the food is too bad and the prince's guard is too clean, not only will he offend the emperor's war, but the prince will definitely not like it.
The most important thing is that there is less than half a year to go, if you blindly seek to be big, you can only train some fancy things, it is better to take the route of elite soldiers, and slowly grow in the future.
Of the 4,100 sergeants, 800 signed up for archery, and 300 passed. This is also the one with the largest number of passers. However, you must know that the Prince Guard has 1,500 archers, and you only need to look at the face of the Huangfu General Tie Qing to know how bad this result is.
The most signed up is the riding event, with a total of 1,000 people, and it seems that they are very eager to become mighty cavalrymen. But these guys, who are pretty good at running on flat ground, have ever tried to ride over railings, over ravines, or even over a wall. The knights dismounted, or carefully finished, but the time was outran. Fortunately, all the officers and men of the 500 cavalry battalion signed up, and finally 200 people passed.
The mounted archery event is the most difficult, with 900 people signing up and 100 passing.
The martial arts event also had 900 people sign up, and 240 people were able to survive 20 breaths in the end. Didn't insult their long history of brawls.
The least number of applicants was the brain project, with only 500 people, most of whom were old, weak, sick and disabled, and the result was quite miserable, with only 100 people passing the test.
In the end, Qin Lei took less than a thousand people from the prince's guard, and did not hurt its roots, which relieved the nervous Huangfu Zhanwen.
………………………………
After only three days of repairs, Huangfu Zhanwen returned to Beijing with the crown prince's guard.
At this time, it was September, and the sky was high and the clouds were light.
The Emperor Fu Zhanwen on the war horse looked at the team that was half shorter than when he came, but it was obviously much neater and more energetic, and his thoughts returned to last night......
Last night, he went to His Highness's room to say goodbye, and His Highness was grinding, as if he wanted to write. But it's not like that, because there's a small burning brazier next to it. Seeing him come in, Qin Lei put down the work in his hand and beckoned him to sit down.
After the two of them exchanged some nonsense such as 'resignation' and 'tailwind', they fell into a brief silence.
Huangfu Zhanwen looked at this young highness who had been with him for forty days, and he was looking at himself with a smile.
Huangfu Zhanwen gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "My subordinates want to confess the person behind him. ”
The expression on Qin Lei's face remained unchanged, as if he had expected him to say so. "These days, I also know a little more about our Great Qin's gate valves, and I know that your Huangfu family has a longer history than Great Qin. He has also been in the military for a long time. Qin Lei talked about the history of the Huangfu family.
Huangfu Zhanwen nodded and said, "A hundred years." "He looked reminiscent and proud.
Qin Lei smiled and said, "Is it possible for such a glorious and long-standing family to completely fall to a certain force?" ”
Huangfu Zhanwen said with a little pride: "Impossible. The Han family only serves the country. Although there are tendencies at times, they will not become anyone's vassals! No one is qualified to do so. ”
Qin Lei got up and said casually: "Then I will be at ease." ”
Huangfu Zhanwen then got up and said, "But my subordinates are not at ease. He was referring to the fact that Qin Lei had taken all the blame for the bloody case in the military camp for him, and he owed a favor.
Qin Lei thought for a while, pointed to the pen and paper on the table and said, "Then you can write it down." ”
Huangfu Zhanwen thought about it and sighed: "It's okay." He stepped forward and lifted the pen, dipped it in ink, and waved it on the paper. Then he held the paper and presented it to Qin Lei. Qin Lei didn't look at it, just threw the paper into the brazier on the table. The flames soared, engulfing the paper.
Qin Lei smiled at him and said, "If I knew, I would always have a pimple in my heart." It's better to be so neat. ”
Huangfu Zhanwen smiled helplessly: "Your Highness is generous, Zhanwen is grateful." He knew that Qin Lei didn't want him to return the favor so easily.
What he didn't know was that as soon as he walked with his front foot, Qin Lei picked up the lid and extinguished the brazier. After a while, the lid was lifted again, and four words appeared in the ashes of the paper. Qin Lei breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Brother, it's not that I'm cunning, I can only say that you have caught up." ”
In order to prepare for the intelligence class, he had just made silver powder ink, and was about to test it, when the emperor's war wen came.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After Huangfu Zhanwen and his crown prince Wei set off, Qin Lei also began his special training......
On the Tucheng school field. Looking at the obviously empty team, Qin Lei roared loudly: "Welcome, winner!" The voice came from afar, and I didn't know if it would be heard by the people who were leaving.
One sentence mobilized the emotions of this group of soldiers who were faintly detached. Yes, we are the victors, and we have a brighter future.
Seeing the smugness in their eyes, Qin Lei suddenly sneered: "But you are just a group of rookies in my eyes. Do rookies understand? It's a broiler, a bird that gives people a vegetable! ”
Of course, the proud soldier was not convinced.
Qin Lei pointed to one of the bamboo pole-tall boys and said with a smile: "Your name is Yu Qian, and you are the first in archery." But you have the courage to compare with him. Pointing back, a coughing, hunched young man with a longbow on his back stepped forward.
Everyone knows that archery must be stable first, and everyone in the audience sees that this young man has to be supported even when he is standing, how can he compare it with Yu Qian, who was born in Orion and has a hundred shots.
The tall Yu Qian thought about it in a blink of an eye, at most, everyone would draw without losing their face, and they could also leave a good impression in front of His Highness. So he went out and said: "The villain should fight!" ”
A sergeant brought two targets and placed them twenty paces away. Yu Qian looked at the coughing young man, and when he saw him shaking his head, he said in a loud voice, "Move farther away." ”
When the sergeant on the opposite side heard this, he aimed his arrow and moved it back ten feet.
As soon as Yu Qian wanted to speak, the young man with a sickly face took advantage of the coughing interval and wheezed, "Hundred steps." ”
Yu Qian's mouth opened, and he smiled: "That sick man, you need a three-stone bow to shoot a hundred steps." Can you pull it? ”
The sick man took off the longbow on his back, coughed for a while, and said, "Four stones......"
The audience was dumbfounded, there were less than ten people in the entire Prince Guard Bow Battalion who could pull a three-stone bow, and only Yu Qian could shoot normally.
However, Yu Qian was already sweating. The archers had sharp eyes, and he had been blinded by his pride before, but he came to his senses at the sight of the bow. The name of the bow is sunset, the black iron bow body, the tendon is the string, and the four stones.
It was indeed a four-stone bow. Look at the hand with the bow, slender and steady,
Yu Qian stood there with a pale face, sweat dripping down his cheeks. Everyone knew that he had met a strong opponent.
After a long time, Yu Qian turned around and kowtowed to Qin Leisan, and said ashamedly: "Please forgive Your Highness, the villain has actually lost." But the villain must finish shooting these ten arrows. ”
Qin Lei was curious: "Since you lost, why do you still shoot?" ”
Yu Qian said miserably: "An archer can be defeated, but he can't escape." ”
Qin Lei approvingly: "Very good, you are even better than I imagined." You shoot ten arrows first, and then Master Xu You will shoot ten arrows for you to refer to. You should cherish this opportunity. ”
The target was moved a hundred paces away. A sergeant brought a three-stone bow for Yu Qian. Yu Qian stabilized his mind, took a long breath, and said to the sick man named Xu You: "Master Xu, the younger generation is ugly." Xu You squeezed out a smile with difficulty, which was a response.
After speaking, he took out a long arrow from his back, put it firmly on the bow, shouted, pulled the bowstring, and released the two fingers of his right hand as soon as he took aim. The bowstring snapped back, and the arrow disappeared into thin air, and in the blink of an eye it reappeared on the target, right in the heart.
The crowd cheered in unison.
Yu Qian was unmoved, and shot eight arrows in succession, all of which hit the heart. Nine arrows was already his limit, and his hands were already trembling slightly.
