Chapter 111
Han Ye and Situ He's skillful and accurate archery on the bow and horse opened the eyes of the candidates participating in the martial arts, as Xie Yan, the secretary of the military department, said, not only showed the royal demeanor, but also gave these exams a deterrent and encouragement, mobilizing the dull atmosphere in the examination room, and the candidates began to be eager to try at the same time. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The civil and military officials of the first to fourth grades of Daxingguo are all in crimson, and I saw two figures on the school field, one white and one red, riding on horses and rushing to the north. Li Li was caught between the candidates, some of these people were from a rough background, the smell on their bodies was very strong, and their voices were rough, Li Li couldn't stand it and covered his nose unbearably, trying to hide far away, but he stood on tiptoe and went through the gap between everyone's shoulders to see the two horses that were running farther and farther.
Seeing Situ He and Han Ye's archery and riding skills, she was really shocked, but she still felt dissatisfied, because Princess Jing had never played in person.
Li Li looked at the north stand on tiptoe with difficulty, and saw that the woman who prompted her to participate in the martial arts was sitting upright in a begonia red palace dress, and there was no trace of wanting to go into battle in leather armor. It was too far away to make out the look on her face.
What a pity.
Li Li's hand pinched the longevity lock hanging from his chest, and thought with emotion.
After Han Ye and Situ He sat back on the high platform, Xie Yan was amazed for a while, and then announced the start of the infantry and mounted archery events of the martial arts examination. The inner and outer fields of the martial arts department of Daxingguo, first try the bow horse to decide to stay, and then try to score the superiority.
There are two rounds in the outfield, the first round is the bow horse riding shooting, the foot shooting is the first, and the horse shooting is the back.
The target was set in the south, and I saw many candidates lined up, with their backs to the high platform on the north side, thirty steps away from the target in front. Even the most ordinary foot shooting has a lot of attention, according to the different postures and divided into flat shooting, kneeling shooting, requiring candidates to be at least five of the nine arrows to be qualified.
With the sound of a drum, arrows were shot out one after another, and there were many people who hit the target or missed the target, and when Li Li's scarlet clothes came on the field, it happened to be a group with Lin Cen, and those who raised it didn't look down on Li Li's thin and small head, as well as her woman's body, until the nine arrows she shot hit seven arrows, and they were all stunned, and they didn't dare to underestimate her anymore.
Seeing this, Li Shu couldn't sit still, stood up without hesitation, and shouted into the school yard: "Little fox, it's good!" Attaboy! ”
Li Li heard it, turned around, and made a smug gesture towards the stands, the joy and joy floated on her face, and there was no haze in sight, so that all the people who saw this face couldn't help but be happy with her, as if Wuju was not utilitarian in her eyes, but just pure happiness.
Situ He and Han Ye on the high platform did not make a sound, but their eyes moved away from the scarlet clothes in the school yard in surprisingly unison, and swept to the same place, unfortunately they could only see the back of the girl, snuggling in her husband's arms, and applauding with the enthusiastic cheers in the field.
Situ He's gaze did not shy away, but Han Ye remained silent, several invisible pressures poked at Mo Wen's back, but Mo Wen smiled slightly, his arms more and more wantonly wrapped around the waist of the person in his arms, and the wide sleeves almost covered the girl's figure invisible, and even the back was not left to the people behind him.
Foot shooting, eliminating a third of the candidates. Lin Cenzhi ranked first with nine shots and nine middle schools.
This was followed by mounted shooting. Candidates must shoot nine arrows from west to east, and at least three arrows of the nine arrows must be qualified.
Riding is not Li's strong point, how can you shoot arrows on galloping horses? She mixed in the floating mountain for a year, only practiced riding and archery, foot shooting is good, there is no challenge, riding and archery to investigate too many things, she ran twice on the horse, but only will shoot three arrows, one arrow almost missed the bull's-eye, so dangerous.
When Li Li breathed a sigh of relief, the referee loudly announced that Lin Cen's nine arrows were all hit, which caused everyone to be surprised, their eyes burned, and even the school general who was the referee gave him three points, obviously seeing that he had the potential to win the championship.
Originally, those people didn't despise Lin Cenzhi's cheekiness and the current princess Jing and the fallen horse, thinking that they were just going through the back door, and wanted to earn a reputation by virtue of their relationship, who would have thought that Lin Cenzhi would be calm and relaxed, and easily get it This is difficult to compare with the bow and horse riding and shooting in the eyes of others.
There were only three people on the field who were not surprised, Mu Lian, Bai Lijing, and Han Ye, if those who had seen the strictness of training on Lutai Mountain, they would understand what it means to be a strict master and a high apprentice, for several years, more than a thousand days of unremitting hard training, what else can not be taken? Fortunately, the disciples on Lutai Mountain will not flock to win fame.
The field has to compete for a day, the first competition is over in the middle of the day, take a short break, the court gives lunch to the lifters present, after lunch, the eliminated lifters leave the school field gloomily, and stay to continue the second competition in the afternoon.
The examiner can't quit halfway, and Bai Lijing, Li Shu and others, who are spectators, naturally can't leave because of their own reasons, so they all gathered together for dinner.
The school site is located in the suburbs, very secluded, and the recruits who train here are also living a hard life, and the military chefs have been transferred to prepare lunch for the examiners who invigilated today, but the whole dish is still crude.
Lin Cenzhi and Li Li are lifters, and they are not allowed to leave the venue without permission unless the exam is over. Li Shu had no choice but to order someone to sneak in and send some food to Miss Li, and by the way, he also brought one to Lin Cenzhi.
Then, while waiting for the food to be served, Li Shu smiled at Baili Jing, who was sitting at the other end of the Eight Immortals table: "Jing Xiaobai, what kind of third senior brother are you...... Don't worry about him, Ye has already sent him lunch, you can introduce us two to the next day, and Ye will make more friends by the way. ”
Baili Jing glanced at him and unceremoniously exposed his attempt: "Don't beat his idea, he has already made up his mind in his hometown." ”
Li Shu was drinking tea happily with a hippie smile, but when he heard this, he was burned by the hot tea, and suddenly choked, threw the tea cup on the table, glared at those little eyes and said, "Jing Xiaobai, why are you so dirty!" I didn't want to do anything! I just want to be friends with him! ”
After glancing around, he found that his entourage and everyone present looked at him with suspicious eyes, Li Shu suddenly weakened a little, and with a "snap", he opened the folding fan to cover his mouth, shook it slightly, his eyes narrowed into a line with a smile, and said with a smile: "Hahaha, just kidding, don't mind, everyone." As the saying goes, as long as the kung fu is deep, the iron pestle is sharpened into an embroidery needle, as long as it is not married, the red apricot can be dragged to the wall at any time, isn't it? ”
As he spoke, he smashed Situ He who was close to him with his elbow, and said with resentment: "Of course, some wood will not be understood for a lifetime, but it's a pity, it's a pity......"
Li Shu is a good man, this has almost become a well-known thing in the market and the imperial court, he never deliberately conceals it, Daxing the national style is open, Emperor Jingyuan also had a male pet when he was young, since there is a model of today's saint first, no one dares to mean Li Shu head-on with this matter, he just secretly does not want to see him.
There are only two rough Eight Immortal Tables in the camp tent of the school field, which are put together to make a simple dining table, and the dishes are served one by one, Situ He and Mo Wen have picked up vegetables for Baili Jing, and the chopsticks of the two almost touched together, seeing this, Mo Wen smiled faintly, but Situ He immediately took away the chopsticks, as always, there was no good face. Bailijing was helpless, and sandwiched vegetables for both of them, impartially, Mo Wen still looked at her with a smile, but there was something strange in her dark eyes.
The dining table was not big, Han Ye, as the supervisor of martial arts, sat with Xie Yan, just separated from Baili Jingmowen and others by a table, he just ate in silence, chewed slowly, his movements were not rude at all, and he was always well-educated, as if he didn't know that someone was watching him in front of him, he lowered his eyebrows and was silent, as if it was tantamount to arguing with anyone.
Another dish came up and stopped beside Han Ye, when the waiter bent down, he accidentally spilled the hot soup, and a large piece of the soup was poured on the back of Han Ye's hand, the waiter was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and kowtowed, and the rest of the people were also busy making a mess, noisily going to find a military doctor.
Han Ye glanced at the back of the steaming hand, didn't say anything, but instinctively looked up at her, sure enough, the girl opposite stopped the chopsticks in her hand, her body was half straightened, and a pair of black eyes stared at him, and then, she seemed to suddenly remember that she had nothing to do with him for a long time, so she didn't move again, and the hands on the table gradually clenched into fists, crumpling the thin sweaty cuffs.
Suddenly, sadness came from it, and the empty place in the chest cavity blew a strong wind and sand, the wind and sand raged, and it hurt with thousands of holes, Han Ye put his scalded hand behind him, got up and said, "It's okay, you don't have to be busy, continue to eat." ”
The moment he turned around, Han Ye closed his eyes, Yaya, apart from hatred for Han Ye, is there any instinct left? If you had known that Han Ye was here, even if you didn't see Lin Cenzhi for the rest of your life, you probably wouldn't have thought of coming to the school to watch the martial arts exam. Similarly, if Han Ye knew that you were there, he would ...... What can he do?
Outside the tent, Han Ye met Mu Lian who was walking towards him, she just bowed to him, they were all the etiquette that slaves and maids should keep, and there was nothing else to say, as if the two had never known each other. It wasn't until Han Ye passed by her that Mu Lian frowned, she was very confused in her heart, there were some things that should really be said, but she didn't know where to start...... To Jing Xiaobai and the world, she has hidden too many secrets, and she is not completely honest with her master, there are some things she has been hiding for a long time, she knows it, but she can't say it.
Walking into the camp, Mu Lian stood behind Bai Lijing, but her eyes were on Mo Wen's body, she didn't care about everyone now, she only cared about the movements of this sick horse. has been disguising himself as a sick appearance who can't help but be weak, since the first day he married Jing Xiaobai, he has never spoken, even if he did, I'm afraid there is no truth, he has saved a lot of things.
If his identity as the eldest son of the sick son of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion is true, and his illness and weakness are false, then the death of the previous ladies is doubtful, is it really unbearable to be lonely, infected and died, or died because of him?
Or, he is not only sick and weak, but even the identity of the eldest son of the Prime Minister's Mansion is also fake, then, when did he enter the Prime Minister's Mansion, and when did he get close to Jing Xiaobai, did he hide in the Prime Minister's Mansion before he got married, or did he lose his plan because of the identity of Jing Xiaobai Princess after he became married, replacing the real Mo Wen and Jing Xiaobai to get close, waiting for an opportunity to seek something unspeakable?
Such a person, who takes poison as a good medicine to drink, does not frown, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows are indifferent smiles, which makes Mu Lian shudder, not to mention a Jing Xiaobai, even if there are a hundred Jing Xiaobai, they will be calculated cleanly.
When Mu Lian stared at Mo Wen in a daze, Mo Wen suddenly turned her head, still with that harmless smile on her face, looking at her lightly, Mu Lian took a step back in fright, and then heard Bai Lijing say: "Mu Lian, what's wrong with you?" The colt said that you should serve him another bowl of rice, he rarely ate more than usual today. ”
Mu Lian came back to her senses and found that Jing Xiaobai's face was surprised, and the sick horse was really holding an empty porcelain bowl in her hand, hearing Jing Xiaobai's words, the smile between his eyebrows deepened, and he played the innocent and harmless to the extreme, so innocent that no one present could bear to say a heavy word to him. But Mu Lian looked at Mo Wen's eyes, and the hand that stretched out to pick up the bowl unconsciously trembled slightly, and one of her hearts hung high, and it could fall at any time.
……
After a break of about a quarter of an hour, the second round of the outfield continued, and unlike the first, the second round tested strength and bare-handed combat.
After the first exam in the morning, less than half of the total number of candidates remained, and the strength was better than pulling a hard bow, a hard bow is commonly known as a strong bow, made of a special material, and the arrows shot by the hard bow are much farther than ordinary bows, so as to test the candidates' arm strength and courage.
The hard bow is divided into eight, ten, and twelve forces, and Li Li, with a momentum, actually pulled the hard bow of the eight forces, but she couldn't shake the one of the ten forces no matter what.
Many people's eyes looked at her, how could Li Lili admit defeat, after spending a lot of effort or unable to move, she simply stepped on the bowstring with her boots, and then pulled the hard bow with both hands and pulled it upward, her face was flushed, and finally the hard bow of the ten forces slowly and slowly pulled into a full moon, but only stopped for a moment, she suddenly let go, and the whole person was buckled on the gray ground of the school field by the rebound force of the hard bow, making a "bang" sound, and a puff of dust rose in the air.
"Hahaha......"
A lot of people were laughing, some people laughed so much that tears flowed out, I had never seen anyone pull a hard bow in this posture on the school field, Li Lixi got up from the ground, her whole face was gray, so embarrassed, she wiped it with her hand at will, glared at the big excessive eyes and scanned everyone, and shouted: "What are you laughing at!" What's so funny! If you have the ability, try it too! Miss Ben has done a great job! The most heroic thing Miss Ben has done in her life is to pull this bow that can't be pulled at all! Bah! ”
She turned her head and spat out the dirt in her mouth. There was silence all around, and the laughter of the people faded as they admitted that she was telling the truth.
Li Li got up from the ground and patted the ashes on his clothes, the referee was greeted by Uncle Li Guo, naturally knew who she was, and asked with a smile: "What does this candidate mean...... Gave up? ”
Li Li nodded without hesitation: "Well, give up, even if you can use this method to pull the second bow, the third one will definitely be hopeless, I am a self-aware person, if you can't get it, you don't want it!" I don't want to do anything martial arts, it's not fun at all. ”
The school field was quiet, the girl's voice was crisp, everyone heard this heroic and free declaration, even Xie Yan, the secretary of the military department, stroked his beard and smiled, although he didn't want to see Uncle Li, but this Miss Li was a little interesting, frank and casual.
"Little fox, well done! You're doing a great job! Big brother loves little foxes the most! Hahaha, come here, come to Big Brother! Li Shu shook his fan and walked coquettishly under the stands, his expression was as happy as if his little fox had won the martial champion, and he really thought differently from others.
Li Lili obediently walked to the north high platform, and as he walked, the long-lived lock hanging around his neck made a jingling sound, which was very beautiful. Passing by Lin Cenzhi's side, Li Li stopped and said, "I think this year's martial champion is you, you will definitely win." ”
Lin Cenzhi's modesty is modesty, but he is also very self-aware, just like Li Li himself can't win, he is confident that he can pass this field exam successfully, so he smiled and said: "Borrow Miss Jiyan." If my little sister comes to participate in the martial arts, she will definitely win. ”
Li Li asked, "Who is your little junior sister?" Why didn't she come? ”
Lin Cen Zhi shrugged: "I also want to know why Jing Xiaobai didn't participate in martial arts." ”
Li Li's footsteps suddenly stopped: "Your junior sister is Princess Jing?!" ”
"Princess Jing?" Lin Cenzhi scratched his head and looked at the high platform, surprised and dazed: "You say...... Jing Xiaobai is a princess? Just kidding, right? ”
At that moment, Li Li regretted taking the initiative to give up martial arts, just because of Lin Cenzhi's words.
Sure enough, as expected, after two competitions in the second game, Lin Cen Zhidu was far ahead, passed the assessment of the outfield with him, and successfully entered the infield strategy A total of 30 people.
At this time, the sun was already hanging in the west, fortunately, it was late in the summer, and when Lin Cenzhi and Bailijing and others saw each other outside the school field, they didn't care about greetings, and the first sentence they said was: "Senior brother, Jing Xiaobai, Mulian, we haven't seen each other for a long time, I have a lot to say, and I have a lot of questions to ask, let's find a place to have a drink tonight and talk well!" ”
Mu Lian had no opinion, and only looked at Bai Lijing.
Bai Lijing nodded.
Han Ye said lightly, okay.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry, I didn't just come to Beijing at the beginning of Lin Cen, in addition to participating in the martial arts, but also in order to find someone, our brothers and sisters have been separated for a long time, and I want to talk about the old days alone, I'm sorry." Lin Cenzhi arched his hand at Situ He, Mo Wen and the others, the meaning of his words was very obvious, only the four of them were together, and no one else brought them. Whether it is a husband or a cousin, they are all outsiders on Lutai Mountain.
