Lang Zhonghe* of the deputy chief examiner of the military department received a strange task from Yang Su, his grandson Yang Yuanqing wanted to compete with more than ten cavalry archery candidates, although today is not a test of cavalry archery, but He understood Yang Su's advice faithfully, he probably understood Yang Su's mind, his grandson archery is very high, and he wants to take this opportunity to make a name for himself in the hearts of the warriors, these warriors will bring Yang Yuanqing's prestige back to various places, so as to truly megatron the world.

At this time, there was still an hour and a half before the official exam in the afternoon, and most of the candidates were resting in the room.

Soon, more than 2,000 candidates gathered on the training ground one after another, besieged a big circle, and some examination rooms engaged in drawing a line with lime on the training ground, and erected a wooden stake a hundred steps away, and hung a bell in the air with a string.

Sixty-two martial artists who scored ten points in the examination rode forward one after another, holding bows and arrows, some people were excited, and some people were worried, He Zhi shouted to everyone: "Yang Taifu offers a reward, and those who shoot the bell from a hundred steps away will be rewarded with fifty taels of gold!" ”

The warriors around him moved, the rope was too thin, and he couldn't see it from a hundred steps away, so he couldn't shoot it, how could this be possible? But fifty taels of gold is so much, that's a thousand hanging money!

Sixty-two ten-point candidates are clearly distinguished, forty-eight children of the family, fifteen foreign martial artists, they are divided into two groups, Yueyue Yu test, Qin Qiong and Shan Xiongxin are also among them, Qin Qiong is ten six, is the highest score, Shan Xiongxin is ten ten color, and it is also very good.

Shan Xiongxin saw Yang Yuanqing from afar, so he smiled at Qin Qiong in a low voice: "I haven't seen Yuanqing's archery yet, so let's compete with him today?" ”

Qin Qiong didn't speak, he looked at Yang Yuanqing and straightened his waist, he was very conceited about his martial arts, and his archery skills were also extremely high, I heard that Yang Yuanqing had won the first arrow in the world, he was very interested, can he compete with him?

Cheng Yanjin pulled Shan Renjie and whispered to him: "I'll make a bet with you, I'll bet on Yuan Qingsheng if you bet ten dollars, whatever you bet on."

Shan Renjie was so angry that he slapped his scalp, "I didn't see such a black-hearted person as you, I won't bet with you!" ”

"I'll bet on you!"

Except for Chongshan next to him, he said with a smile: "I bet on the second brother, and I will bet ten dollars." ”

Cheng bit Jin Daxi, bet on Qin Qiong, and was slightly unsure, the other party bet on Xiongxin, then he must have won, "We are determined!" ”

Grandstand Yang Su stared at this group of martial artists coldly, the so-called martial arts, he just wanted to confirm the level of these family martial artists with his own eyes, the test of riding and archery is different from the test of weapons, the test of weapons is mainly to press the nose and lower the scores of those who are strong in martial arts, and the test of riding and archery is to improve the score of those who are related, for example, his grandson Yang Wei's score has increased from five points to nine points.

It's not that the children of the family are not good at martial arts, on the contrary, the vast majority of the strong martial arts in the Great Sui are the children of the family, the problem is that the strong in martial arts have already been promoted in the army through other ways, like the Xue Wanche brothers, they don't need exams, they will naturally have opportunities and recommendations for their high martial arts, and most of the children of the family who came to participate in the martial arts have no recommended way, or their martial arts are low, or they are partial concubines, and they are compared to the children of the poor family, but they have a little more ways to find the relationship between Yuwenshu, it is precisely because of this, Most of the children of the family who are on the second list are not of high level, and if they want to overpower the martial arts practitioners who come from all over the world, they can only find connections and promotions.

Although some of the children of the poor family are also wealthy like Shan Xiongxin and Qin Qiong, they are not as rich as the official eunuchs, and Yuwenshu will not help, and money plus the family is the stepping stone to the official career.

At this time, He Dong ran to ask for instructions, "Servant, do you want to start?" ”

Yang Su glanced at his grandson, Yang Yuanqing was wearing a crown of armor and holding a big bow in his hand, ready to go, he nodded, "Let's start!" ”

He Dong ran and shouted: "Run thirty steps sideways, with a maximum of three arrows per person, and ride and shoot in turn!" ”

Sixty-two warriors lined up in a long line, rushing out, the leader was Qiu He's nephew Qiu Zhixiong, he didn't get a quota, he could only come to fight for the second list, he also left, huā 1,200 hanging money, to ensure that he can be admitted to the martial arts and awarded the officer, Qiu Zhixiong, the children of a family with a higher status, they don't just want to be admitted to the martial arts as a palace guard, they mainly want to be awarded officers, those with excellent results in the second list, can be awarded military positions, they are rushing to this.

Qiu Zhixiong's war horse galloped, stretched his bow and set up an arrow, an arrow shot to the bell a hundred steps away, the difficulty of riding and shooting is very great, to control the war horse with double tui, the body must maintain the best posture, in order to shoot the arrow smoothly, and the body is always in a high degree of movement, it is almost impossible to aim and shoot the arrow, Zhang Bow is an arrow shot, want to be accurate, it is very difficult, no less than five years of hard work can not be done.

Qiu Zhixiong used a stone riding bow, the bow strength is quite strong, but the accuracy is far behind, a hundred steps away, his arrow shot three feet above the wooden pole, his face flushed, and when he ran out of more than 20 steps, he opened his bow and shot an arrow, this time a little lower, but still off nearly a foot.

Yang Su shook his head, he has been on the battlefield for a long time, his eyesight is very good, this Qiu Zhixiong has a maximum of eight points in riding and shooting, but his results are very double-colored, and both colors are in riding and shooting, and there is obviously a problem.

Qiu Zhixiong bowed his head in frustration and left the examination room, the people behind him stepped forward one after another, taking turns to ride and shoot, Yang Su shook his head the more he looked at it, and even a few people couldn't even shoot eighty steps, how to talk about being able to take the test ten points, and a few people Although they were good, they could barely count nine points, but they wanted to shoot the bell a hundred steps away, it was too far at all, Yang Su could even assert that these forty-eight children of the family were all cheating.

Not only Yang Su shook his head, but the discussion below was getting louder and louder, and the dissatisfaction was accumulating, everyone witnessed the level of these children of the family, and many people became angry, are these the skills of the test?

Despite the anger, but not to the extent of the outbreak, the final results of the martial arts did not come down, everyone did not dare to make trouble, everyone silently looked at the training ground, the noise gradually disappeared, became unusually quiet, standing outside the field of the military department member Wang Shichong also found that something was wrong, Yang Su engaged in this gold test, isn't it from one side to the violent their martial arts fraud?

He glanced at He Understand nervously, this He Understand also had more than a dozen favors, but he didn't seem to notice that Wang Shichong slowly walked to He Ming's side, and said in a low voice, "Envoy, this is a bit inappropriate!" ”

He understood what he was talking about, and quickly glanced at Wang Shichong, "There are some things you don't have to think too much about." ”

Wang Shichong was helpless, uneasy in his heart, and entangled to the extreme.

Shan Xiongxin is the penultimate seventh person to appear, he urged the horse to fly like a horse, run out of seven or eight steps, the bow is an arrow, the arrow speed is extremely fast, rubbing the bell by, the arrow wind makes the bell shake a little, attracting a regretful boo, only a little bit.

Shan Xiongxin drew the arrow again, and another arrow was shot, and the arrow went like a fly, "click" This arrow hit the stake of the stake, and the arrow was nailed to the stake, obviously he wanted to shoot the rope tied to the stalk, but it was still a little bit, but the third arrow was too late, Shan Xiongxin ran out of the riding shooting area, he hated it so much that he smashed it on the saddle so much.

There was a round of applause, the two arrows were only a little bit off, this is not luck, this is a person with real skills, even Yang Su couldn't help but nodded, this person's archery skills are good, and it is reasonable to be able to get ten points.

Soon after Shan Xiongxin was Qin Qiong, he was the last to appear, as soon as he appeared, there was a round of applause all around, and many people shouted: "Second Brother Qin, Lu hand!" ”

Qin Qiong's popularity is very good, many people know him, Qin Qiong hugged his fists to the people around him, Cui Ma came out At this time, He * walked in front of Yang Su and whispered: "This person's name is Qin Qiong, a native of Licheng, the only one is ten colorful." ”

Yang Su's eyes swelled with interest, and he gently asked him to wait and see this person.

Qin Qiong glanced at Yang Yuanqing from a distance, and the two of them smiled meaningfully when they met each other, competitors are not necessarily enemies, there is competition between friends.

Qiong Shuangtui clamped the horse's belly, galloped on the horse, ran out of ten steps, turned around is an arrow, the arrow is strong, the momentum is completely different from the candidates in front, this is the real fierce arrow, applause, applause.

The arrow is as fast as lightning, and the second arrow of Shan Xiongxin, it is also shot at the crossbeam, which is a smart way, because the thin rope is circled twice on the crossbeam, invisibly, the possibility of success is doubled, although the rope is still too thin, but for the master of the difference, this increased rope, the meaning is completely different, more importantly, the arrow is nailed to the crossbeam, and the rope can also be broken by the arrow blade.

Qin Qiong's arrow was accurately shot between the two thin ropes, the rope was not broken, and there was a cry of regret on the training ground, it was really only a grain of rice.

Even Yang Su couldn't help but be moved, Qin Qiong's archery skills could almost compete with Yang Yichen, he couldn't help but look at his grandson Yuanqing with a little worry, only to see that his grandson was as steady as Mount Tai, motionless, although Niuniu pulled his arm and shouted, but Yuanqing was not moved at all, as dignified as a mountain.

Yang Su suddenly had a feeling that his grandson had a faint bearing of a commander, discerning, having good strategies, steady as a mountain, and not moved by the outside world, Yang Su remembered that Changsun Sheng had told him that Yuanqing served as the commander in the Battle of Harry Lake, and led 3,000 people to defeat 20,000 Xue Yantuo's army.

At this moment, Yang Su changed his mind, this time he wanted to let his grandson do it alone, and he didn't have to give him advice.

At this time, Qin Qiong's second arrow was shot, and everyone's hearts were hanging, the first arrow was only one grain of rice, what about the second arrow?

The second arrow is also extremely fast and powerful, but this arrow is straight to the bell, obviously, he wants to use his power to shoot the bell "dang" a crisp sound, the bell was shot at the target, a parabola like a high throw, and then dàng came back, everyone's hearts seemed to step on the air at once, and the last arrow was shot, but unfortunately it did not fall.

Despite this, the applause still resounded throughout the audience, it was very exciting, and even Yang Su couldn't help but applaud, this general is good, he wants to recommend it.

Cheng bit Jin Ji moved heavily and patted the shoulder of the heavy mountain, and grinned: "If you bet on Brother Qin, I will also count you as winning, and I will bet on the unreliable second brother Shan." ”

Shan Xiongxin turned his head suddenly, glared at Cheng Biting Jin, Cheng Biting Jin was weak for a while, turned the horse's head to the other side, and said to himself: "Obviously the archery skills are not good, don't let people say it, this person is really incurable." ”

At this time, there was silence on the training ground, Cheng Biting Jin looked up, and saw that it was Yang Yuanqing who appeared, he waved his hand and shouted: "Brother Xian, give my brother a hand, and kill these turtle sons." ”

At this moment, everyone glared at him.

Yang Yuanqing galloped on the school field, this is a kind of momentum that catches people's hearts, he wears an eagle helmet, wears iron gray sè Mingguang armor, holds a five-foot bow, two pots of arrows on his back, and a hundred battles horizontal knife under his crotch, in the sun, the armor reflects the luster of Sensen.

His eyes are as deep as water, and when he sweeps everyone, there is a kind of light shot out of the pupils of a cat's eye at night, which penetrates people's hearts, he is six feet three tall, with broad shoulders and a round waist, especially his arms are extremely long, his hair is tied up high, and his crotch is like sweat and blood BMW galloping and roaring, like a dragon descending from the earth.

Yang Yuanqing galloped on the training ground, making everyone feel an invisible pressure, this is actually a kind of murderous aura, Yang Yuanqing's every muscle is ready to go, his every move has reached a critical point of outbreak, this is a kind of deterrent power that only a general of a hundred battles on the battlefield has, everyone he passes by, will feel a hint of imminent threat of attack, as if Yang Yuanqing will slash at him at any time, and everyone involuntarily takes a step back.

Yang Su nodded, this is a commonly used deterrence on the battlefield, usually with heavy cavalry galloping in front of the enemy formation, deterring the enemy's psychology, Yuan Qing's move is like a retreat, Qin Qiong got full applause and applause, and Yuan Qing did the opposite, oppressing everyone with a coercive force, from this point it can be seen that Qin Qiong and Yuan Qing are different, Qin Qiong is to convince people with righteousness, and Yuan Qing is to suppress people with coercion, which is extremely similar to his own style.

Yang Su couldn't help but feel a little secretly proud, but at the same time, he was a little worried that if the light deterrence was insufficient and the stamina was insufficient, the effect would be counterproductive, disgusting and contemptible, and only after deterrence would victory be the best effect.

Can Yuan Qing's archery really beat Qin Qiong?

Yang Yuanqing had already run outside the white line, one hundred and fifty steps, and he actually stood one hundred and fifty steps away, causing more than 2,000 people present to exclaim, Qin Qiong's god became extremely dignified, this is Yang Yuanqing showing the power of his three-stone bow.

Yang Yuanqing slowly pulled out an iron arrow and bit it in his mouth, and then pulled out a wolf tooth arrow, he rode his horse and galloped, the sound of the horse's hooves was like thunder, ten steps rushed out in an instant, and then twenty steps rushed through, he still did not shoot an arrow, Yang Su's face showed a worried look, there were only ten steps left, and Yuanqing could only shoot one arrow at most.

At this moment, all the candidates' eyes were fixed on Yang Yuanqing, and many people showed disdainful eyes, and they didn't shoot at twenty steps, which was too conceited, Cheng Yanjin couldn't help but slap the big tui hard, and begged in a lamented voice: "My mother!" Brother Yang, you are shooting, I am gone. ”

Qin Qiong's eyes were staring at the iron arrow in Yang Yuanqing's mouth, he had heard the master say that the famous general Yu Juluo in the northwest used iron arrows, and he didn't believe that Yang Yuanqing could also use iron arrows.

It was already twenty-seven steps, and when they were about to rush out of the cavalry, many people shouted mockingly, "Hey! Border Cypriot Army, in the end, will it work! ”

At this moment, Yang Yuanqing was on the side of his body, and the bow was an arrow, and the wolf's tooth arrow was like a meteor catching the moon, shooting towards the crossbeam above the rope, and at the same moment when the arrow came out of the string, he leaned back, almost lying flat on the horse's back, took off the iron arrow in his mouth, pulled the bow with both arms like a full moon, and shot an arrow, and the iron arrow was like a black dragon, chasing the wolf's tooth arrow.

"Click" wolf tooth shot the string on the crossbeam, the rope broke, and the copper bell fell to the ground, but it was still three feet from the ground, and the iron arrow instantly came to a crisp sound of "bang", and the copper bell was burst and shattered by the iron arrow in mid-air, scattered to the ground.

There was silence all around, countless pairs of eyes stared blankly at the fragments of copper bells on the ground, their eyes were full of indescribable shock, for a long time, many people couldn't close their mouths, Qin Qiong sighed softly, in terms of skill and strength, he was far inferior to Yang Yuanqing, and he was even far behind in terms of domineering, he finally understood why Yang Yuanqing was named the first arrow in the world by the emperor.

It wasn't until a long time later that the applause suddenly sounded like thunder, and the shouts went straight into the sky, this arrow completely conquered them, and even Yang Su couldn't help but applaud his grandson, this was the most wonderful arrow he had ever seen.

Niu Niu Ji moved so tightly that her pink fists were clenched, tears were about to flow out, and Yang Yuanqing's majestic and heroic hair and domineering archery skills completely conquered her heart.
