Wu Yingying was happy to hear it, if the Chinese scribes were as fierce and daring as the soldiers in Lanzhou, the buttocks of the Mobei barbarians would probably be shot to pieces. In the civil and official have to find ways to hang the military title to glorify their own Han Dynasty, even if the world is in chaos, the separatist forces in the northern corner will still beat the barbarians all over the place. In later generations, China's weakness was actually mostly caused by its own reasons, and it was pure nonsense to say that the Khitan and the party were feudal nomads, and it was not easy to deal with them with a sense of territory. When the Liao State was beaten to death by the Jin State with a random fist, he jumped out and said that the Jurchen people had not gotten rid of their barbaric habits and had dealt with the Khitan tribe who were gradually not barbaric enough. Is it more powerful than semi-civilized and semi-barbaric, or is it more powerful than pure barbarism? If you fail to find the reason from others, you are either a fool or a coward.

"Paying equal attention to civil and military affairs is not a combination of civil and military affairs. In this way, as long as 100 steps away from the ten arrows, divided into three trajectories, seven shots in the arrow target, it is considered to be qualified in archery, the ancient heavy car, today's heavy riding, whether it is a car or a ride, can be a horse 150 miles a day, it is considered to be qualified. As for the two arts of calligraphy and etiquette, Mr. can be in charge of the selection of scholars for me for the time being. Wu Yingying quickly stated his conditions. The surrounding captains all looked at each other, the commander is the commander, and at this level of archery, you can participate in the bow and crossbow battalion.

Liang Zuoqiu pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "My lord is calculating, if all the scholars in the world take this as a qualification for promotion, with the size of China and the number of scholars, the whole country should increase the number of archers out of thin air by millions, and they can ride good horses, barbarians and thieves, and it is difficult to run rampant in the Central Plains." ”

Wu Yingying said with a smile: "Although there are some embarrassments, this is a move for the benefit of the country and the people." ”

Liang Zuoqiu nodded and said: "In this case, Zuoqiu is the beauty of an adult, please borrow my bow and arrow, and then become a scribe, and take the school to shoot the second art of royalty, please start from Zuoqiu." Most of the scholars of this era are in a corner to comprehend the classics, each person is in a different realm, some people are willing to be "a rat in a barn, eat millet, and live under the big house", and some people pursue the political ideal of saving the world and helping the people, and Liang Zuoqiu is the latter. He grew up in troubled times, although he was a Confucian student, but he recognized the importance of the national armament, since he was the first scribe publicly promoted in Lanzhou, he was determined to lead by example and take the school to shoot the second art of archery. It just so happened that he grew up in the war-torn Fengzhou border fortress, and these two skills are the capital to save his life, according to the standards that Wu Yingying said, he can barely try it.

Wu Yingying was overjoyed to see that he knew so well, and said, "Mr. helped me so much, Dedang personally sent Mr. to the field." After speaking, he stood up and sent Liang Zuoqiu to the archery range in the martial arts arena. Most of the soldiers and civilians recognized Wu Yingying, and when they saw him enter, they thought that Wu Yingying was going to perform in person, and they all cheered loudly.

Wu Yingying smiled slightly, and said in his heart that I was killing myself by doing this, so I had to take the iron-tire recurve bow handed over by the guard, put on the Yanling arrow, and pulled the bow full, and with a whoosh, the arrow was firmly rooted in the bull's-eye a hundred steps away like a meteor. There is nothing special about his arrow, if he lifts a weight lightly, he will shoot the red heart as if he has nothing to do, which is also rare for a general who has been in the top position for a long time. Wu Yingying was inconvenient to take the lead, and after raising his hand to thank the sergeants for their cheers, he handed the bow and arrow to Liang Zuoqiu and said: "I have tried this bow and arrow for Mr. Wei, the bow is steady, and it can still be used." ”

Letting a scribe take the school archery art test is like Zhao Kuangyin letting a jinshi wrestle and win the champion, which is easily misunderstood as a kind of humiliation. Wu Yingying personally tried the bow and arrows, which greatly saved Liang Zuoqiu's face, he took the bow and arrow with some gratitude in his heart, held his breath and calmed down, opened the bow with strength, and the arrow of the horn went out, and it was also a steady target. Because of the requirement to shoot continuously, Liang Zuoqiu did not rest much, and opened the bow again, roughly estimated, pointed the arrow obliquely to the sky, put two fingers, and the arrow flew out of a beautiful parabola, and still shot on the arrow target. The surrounding sergeants cheered loudly. Then an arrow came down, and Liang Zuoqiu shot the arrow out of a higher parabola, still hitting the target. In this way, ten arrows were fired in a row, and nine were hit by the target.

The soldiers and civilians next to him saw that he was polite, but they never thought that he was pregnant with good archery skills, and they all shouted to the sky. The lieutenants of Lanzhou, who were dissatisfied with him at first, were also quite convinced. Liang Zuoqiu returned the bow and arrow to Wu Yingying with a smile and asked, "I don't know what the route of the imperial art examination is?"

Wu Yingying patted him on the shoulder and laughed: "Tomorrow, I will accompany Mr. Liang to ride a horse and return to the Yellow River. Liang Zuoqiu is also a straightforward person, knowing that this is Wu Yingying's show of kindness, he bowed down and thanked him.

Just as everyone was about to turn around and return to the point stage, suddenly someone outside the martial arts arena screamed several times, and then, suddenly, a shout "Killed!" shocked the people next to them were panicked, if it weren't for the fact that there were many sergeants outside the arena, trying to press hard, I was afraid that they would be crowded and trampled on the spot.

Such a thing happened on this good day, Wu Yingying's face was slightly gloomy, and he said to Chase, Liang Zuoqiu, and others: "Since we met, I'll wait and see what happened?"

Wu Yingying led his guards to separate the noisy crowd and came to the bottom of a big tree, only to see a disheveled woman paralyzed on the ground crying, in front of a soldier standing with a knife, the blade drooped, and a little blood dripping on the ground. A man dressed as a man with an obscene face fell to the ground, his chest and placket soaked with blood, and a man was bandaging him.

Almost all the officials of the Lanzhou Yamen maintained order around the martial arts arena, and when they heard that there was a murder here, the head hunter Wang Degui quickly rushed to the scene with his subordinates. The facts of the case were explained to everyone present on the spot.

The wife of the perpetrator Duan Baili, Hu Yanfei, was robbed by the Khitan soldiers to Shuozhou, and was placed in a laundry house specially for the Khitan army to spoil women. Later, both of them were redeemed by Lanzhou, and Hu Yanfei married Sergeant Duan Baili as his wife. Unexpectedly, Ximen Qing threatened to publicize her prostitution in the laundry yard in the past, and she was entangled from time to time, wanting to ** Hu Yanfei, and when she watched the martial arts performance today, the two bumped into each other again, and Hu Yanfei was coerced by it to meet under the big tree next to the martial arts field. Duan Baili waited for a long time in his wife's room in the martial arts arena and did not come, so he came to look for it, but saw a man who was pulling his wife and wanted to commit rape, Duan Baili was angry from the heart, took out the protective horizontal knife, and went down with a knife, seriously injured this Ximen Qing, bleeding nonstop, and seeing that his life was difficult to protect.

All the soldiers and civilians present were discussing, some were relieved and shouted that the killing was good, some were angry and accused Duan Baili of committing murder, and some scolded Hu Yanfei for not abiding by women's morals.

Lanzhou is a system of military officers and civil affairs, this hundred miles is a horizontal camp sergeant, the protector of the people Tong Liufu immediately accused Wu Yingying of committing murder and seriously injuring people's households, and wanted to arrest the state government and detain him quickly, and sentence him according to the law.

Shi Yuanguang, the captain of the horizontal camp who rushed to hear the news, quit, as the saying goes, the hatred of killing the father and the hatred of taking the wife, the aunt can bear the uncle. This Shi Yuanguang had a flexible brain, and knew that he could not openly violate the law, so he said to Wu Yingying: "My lord Mingjian, I see that the scar between the neck of the Huyan clan is still there, and it is obvious that Ximen Qing ** is not successful, and he is about to commit murder, this hundred miles arrived in time, only one step slower, I am afraid that it is this woman who will die on the spot." At that time, it was not urgent, only the knife fell in his hand, so that this traitor was powerless to do evil, and he was a little heavier for a while, but he couldn't think about it. If it is an attempt, the bitter master will kill by mistake and it will be a little heavier, and he will have to be punished by the criminal law, if Ximen Qing is committing murder or even killing, it is common to take his life in order to save people, and the so-called "legitimate defense" in modern times is also.

Tong Liufu listened to his words, and asked rhetorically: "This woman has a handle in her hand, since Ximen Qing has been patiently entangled for a long time, how can he suddenly have a murderous intent today?"

Shi Yuanguang smiled slightly and replied: "Tong Protector is not this Ximen Qing, how do you know that he has no murderous intentions today?"

Tong Liufu said angrily: "Captain Shi is not this person, how do you know that he has murderous intentions?"

Shi Yuanguang's face turned pale, and he said, "The red spot on Huyan's neck is evidence!"

This was Ximen Qing, who was being treated by Lang Zhong next to him, and shouted weakly: "My lord is wronged, I really don't want to kill anyone!"
