Chapter 25 Liu Yi plays
"Your Majesty, the concubine is right, I still have a lot of brave warriors in the Tang Dynasty, such excellent warriors on the field, there should be no shortage in the world, these warriors were originally buried in the people, and they cannot be used by my court, fortunately, Your Majesty has held a martial arts competition against public opinion, and these brave warriors can be found and used by the imperial court, and the concubines are deeply honored by Your Majesty!" In the audience, Wu Zetian, who was sitting on a high place, looked at Li Zhidao, who was watching the samurai on the field with great interest.
"The queen is far-sighted, not only attaches importance to the imperial examination, but also supports the selection of military generals, and it seems that holding a martial arts examination can really select some brave warriors," Li Zhi changed his unhappy look when he looked at the lack of samurai on the field for a while a while ago, and looked a little dull during the game, and said with a smile, "I hope that these warriors with good skills can grow into the generals of my Tang Dynasty in the future, but unfortunately this move is in a hurry, and I can only recruit samurai from the surrounding states and counties of Chang'an for the coming year. I must let the warriors of the world gather in Chang'an, and select better warriors from among them..."
"Your Majesty, the concubines also think the same, they should prepare early next year," Wu Zetian also said happily, "The concubines think, Your Majesty asked Pei Shilang and Cen Shilang to preside over this matter, and they really chose the right person, Pei Shilang and Cen Shilang have a good way to deal with each other, if the warriors are selected in their hands, the concubines feel that they must be good generals, and the emperor only needs to summon Pei Xingjian and Cen Changqian to ask for a while, and they can also be allowed to preside over these major events in the future!" ”
"I have already issued an edict, and the result of this competition will be decided by Pei Qing and Cen Qing, I believe in their ability!" Li Zhi nodded in approval, as if he had thought of something, "But I always feel that there is something missing in this kind of performance, what do you think, queen?" ”
"Does the emperor think that there is no scene of fighting between samurai, and he can't see which samurai is more brave?" Wu Zetian stared at Li Zhi and asked.
"The queen really knows my heart, I think so!" Li Zhi Dale, "The two generals are fighting against each other, the brave can win, and the winner can be crowned with the title of martial arts leader!" ”
"The concubine will order Pei Shilang and Cen Shilang in a while, when all the warrior competitions are over, and then let the two or more samurai who perform the most brave fight against each other, and the winner will be appointed with the name of the martial arts, what does the emperor think?" Wu Zetian approached Li Zhi's side and said in a low voice.
"Well, then just do what the queen says!" Li Zhi stroked his beard and looked at Wu Zetiandao on the side with a smile.
"Your Majesty, this martial artist surnamed Liu, who is said to be the first in the preliminary round, has also started, let's see if there will be a better performance!" Wu Zetian faintly said to Li Zhi with a smile on the field.
―――――
"Liu Yi'an, the one who plays below, Chang'an people's clan, the first place in the preliminaries..."The high-pitched voice of the singer sounded in the field.
As the voice of the singer sounded, Liu Yi rode out of the waiting area slowly and went to the preparation area to stand by.
Liu Yi deliberately chose a set of pure white tight-fitting clothes, which not only makes people feel heroic, but also completely outlines his tall and upright body, lined with a handsome face, which is enough to attract the attention of many people, especially the attention of the female surname, Liu Yi hopes that Wu Zetian, who is a woman, will have a good impression of himself.
This dress is really very attractive to attention, Liu Yi who appeared on the stage felt that the eyes of countless people were looking at him, these eyes were completely different from the eyes cast by the people who watched the game on the ground outside the Mingchun Gate, these are all high-ranking officials in the court, and there are also emperors, empresses and some other members of the royal family, the meaning of their eyes is very different from that of ordinary people, so that Liu Yi also feels some invisible pressure.
However, Liu Yi's mentality is not generally good, and he was relieved after being a little nervous, and after saluting the surrounding spectators, he squinted his eyes and looked at the flags flying in the distance, and he also understood the mentality of the people on the field, that is, he wanted to see what the person who won the first place in the preliminaries had. Liu Yi smiled secretly in his heart, it will surprise you in a while.
"The martial arts show begins, the first scene, foot shooting, ten arrows..."
Everyone's eyes on the field moved with Liu Yi's body, and everyone was full of curiosity about the first place in the preliminaries, and they didn't know what the young man who won the first place in the preliminaries had a brilliant performance in the final.
Liu Yi jumped off his horse, saluted in all directions again, took his bow from his body, and then took the quiver containing the arrow from the hand of the military department official on the side, hung it on his body, and walked to the demarcated shooting point in front of the target position.
The arrows in the quiver are also brought by the contestants themselves, but they are all handed in before the competition and are not returned to the contestants until the competition, probably for safety.
Liu Yi used heavy arrows, larger than average, and the range was also very long, Liu Yi used the largest four-stone bow he used, if he shot vigorously, it could reach more than 200 steps away, and the thick wooden planks more than 100 steps away could be shot through.
It's just that today's game doesn't pay attention to the range, only the shooting accuracy, Liu Yi used a slightly smaller three-stone bow, this bow is less powerful, and it is easier to control the landing point.
Liu Yi often can't imagine that his body has such a good talent for archery, and the archery level has not regressed after the spiritual mind that controls this body has changed personally, and there is still a lot of progress, which is very incomprehensible, and he can't explain to himself what the reason is.
Liu Yi clearly remembers that since he woke up, when he got the bow and arrow in his hand, he naturally took a certain posture and opened his bow to lead the arrow to shoot, and the flight trajectory and landing point of the arrow were clear before shooting, and the result of the shooting was basically not surprising.
This is better than Liu Yi's feeling of practicing marksmanship in later generations, although Liu Yi's marksmanship in the backfield is also very good, which can be described as a hundred shots, Liu Yi once used a sniper rifle to hit the target's head at a distance of about 1,500 meters when performing a mission, but it is a high-precision weapon, the sniper rifle has undergone strict verification before leaving the factory, as long as it is not affected by strong winds, the trajectory will basically not deviate, and it also has a standard realm, which is much easier to shoot. It is much less difficult than archery that requires his own experience to judge the flight trajectory and landing point, and Liu Yi feels that with his current archery level, it should be easy to win an archery championship in the Olympic Games in the future.
Today, facing the highest ruling class of the Tang Dynasty, Liu Yi believes that his performance will surprise the emperor, the emperor and the ministers of the court.
