Wu Zetian saw it very clearly, Gai Jiayun's high archery skills made her praise again and again, she turned back to the Criminal Department Shangshu and Xiangguo Lou Shide and smiled: "Where is this Gai Jiayun from?"

Lou Shide had never heard of this Gai Jiayun, so he had to say vaguely: "Weichen only knows that he is in the army in the Western Regions, and he should belong to the middle and low-level officers, and he doesn't know many people." ”

Shangguan Wan'er next to him said with a smile: "I know that this Gai Jiayun is from Lanzhou, he has been a military household for generations, he joined the army in Gaochang, known as the first arrow in Gaochang, and he is not yet twenty years old this year." ”

Wu Zetian was surprised and asked, "How does Wan'er know?"

Shangguan Wan'er smiled slightly, "Because Li Zhen wants to select some young people with strong martial arts skills from this martial arts to enrich the internal guard, I paid special attention to it." ”

"Choose the samurai of the inner guard from the martial arts!"

Wu Zetian nodded approvingly, "This idea is very innovative and fair, I believe that real talents can be selected, and I will allow him to do so." ”

At this time, the drum sounded, and everyone's attention was attracted to the training ground again, this is Dou Xianyun appeared, he is known as the first polo master of the Tang Dynasty, and he is also the general of the Thousand Cavalry Battalion, and has a very high reputation among the guards, and his appearance immediately attracted cheers from the guards.

Dou Xianyun was born in the famous Dou family of the Tang Dynasty, whether it is riding archery or polo, he has a long reputation in Luoyang, he is burly and tall, with a big beard, and his appearance is very powerful.

From the very beginning, he held his breath, his strength was completely able to open a bow with two stones and two buckets, but because of habit, he finally chose to use a skilled bow by himself, one stone and nine buckets, but he didn't expect that it was the difference in this bucket that made him one point lower than Li Zhen in terms of additional scores.

If he shoots a stationary target, then Li Zhen or Li Yuan must also be 'three arrows on the top', and finally squeeze him out of the top two, this result makes him very depressed, but the arrival of the saint has changed the way of the exam, and the stationary target has been changed to a moving target, so he has a glimmer of hope, maybe he will also defeat Li Zhen and win the top prize in this department.

Dou Xianyun galloped on his horse, opened his bow left and right in a short running distance of sixty steps, and three arrows shot out like flowing water, two arrows hit the throat of the puppet target, and one arrow hit the left eye, which once again caused the exclamation and cheers of the guards on both sides, and even many people shouted loudly, 'Champion!

Even Wu Zetian sighed and said to both sides: "It's a pity if General Dou doesn't win the title!"

Shangguan Wan'er pursed her lips and smiled, and reminded her in a low voice: "Your Majesty, there are two more people behind!"

Wu Zetian suddenly woke up, at this time she was even more looking forward to the appearance of the two people behind, and even couldn't wait a little

At the entrance, Li Zhen and Li Zhen were ready, Li Yuan was the number three, he should be the first to go out, the urging drum had already sounded, Li Zhen hugged his fist and smiled at Li Zhen, "Commander Li, I'm not welcome to shoot first!"

Li Zhen returned the salute slightly and smiled: "Son, please!"

Li Yuan turned the horse's head, clamped his legs, and the war horse galloped out, he let out a long roar, raised his bow and arrow high and ran towards the sixty paces, this arrogant move won a round of applause from the guards on both sides, and even Wu Zetian couldn't help laughing, this young man is good, although he is a clan, but it makes people feel good.

Li Yuan's bow and arrow are extremely dominant, his bow is called the White Deer Bow, which is one of the best five bows in the world, which was originally given to his son Wu Wangke by Taizong Li Shimin, and finally passed on by Wu Wangke to his grandson Li Yuan.

The biggest advantage of this bow is that it is obviously a two-stone bow, but it only needs the strength of one stone and five buckets to pull it apart, and the workmanship is exquisite, the positioning is accurate, and it is the posthumous work of the famous bow craftsman Chu Fangming.

Li Yuan's strength was not as good as Li Zhen and Dou Xianyun and others, but he was neck with Li Zhen with this two-stone bow, and he is currently tied for the first place, and Li Yuan's own riding and archery is also peerless, known as the first arrow of the royal family, and even his great-grandfather Li Shimin is not as good as him.

Li Yuan opened the bow left and right, and the three arrows were also shot out like flowing water, and the arrows hit the forehead of the puppet's moving target, which belonged to the upper part of the stationary target, and when it came to the moving target, it was even more upper, in contrast, Gai Jiayun shot his cheek, and Dou Xianyun's arrow hit the left eye It was a little worse.

There were cheers on both sides, although the guards generally supported Dou Xianyun, but at least half of the guards bought Li Yuan to win the championship, Li Yuan's appearance was excellent, of course, countless people were ecstatic, although the inner preference is important, but the silver money in the waist bag is the reality.

Wu Zetian smiled at Shangguan Wan'er and nodded, this is to thank her for the timely reminder just now, there are more strong players in the strong, with the lesson of the previous time, this time Wu Zetian no longer commented lightly, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that she also appreciates Li Yuan's archery skills very much.

Di Yan's heart hung in the air, she heard Jiu Zhi say that this Li Zhen was Li Zhen's biggest opponent, seeing that Li Zhen was swinging well, he couldn't even find any blameworthy loopholes, these three arrows were perfect, so how could Li Zhen win?

Jiu Zhi didn't care, he knew his brother too well, they grew up together, Li Zhen's personality and temper, he knew it clearly, Jiu Zhi saw Di Yan worried, so he smiled and said: "Don't worry, Lao Li will definitely play with today's riding and shooting." ”

"What?" Di Yan asked, puzzled.

Jiuzhi didn't explain, and said with a smile: "You see, it's not!" ”

'Knock!knock!' The drum beat continuously, which was the signal for Li Zhen, who was currently tied for first place, to come out of the ranks, and all the guards stretched their necks, and there was silence in the test field.

'Click!' The horse's hooves sounded, and Li Zhen urged the horse to slowly enter the shooting field, his face was calm, and his wise eyes were thinking about something.

Dou Xianyun and Li Yuan are very wonderful in front of him, Li Yuan's riding and shooting is even more impeccable, if you want to pass him, you can only find another way, he has a few plans in his heart, but first to ensure the results of the 'three upshang', otherwise even if you play a lot, one arrow 'Shangzhong' will ruin a qiē.

Li Zhen pondered for a long time, he could only shoot brilliantly with a series of arrows.

Li Zhen took out two Danzhu arrows and bit them in his mouth, lightly clamped the war horse between his legs, and the famous horse under his crotch galloped out, like a straight line running to the sixty step line, the horse was like a dragon, like a soaring cloud and mist, and the god was incomparable, which had already caused an exclamation from the guards on both sides.

Just past sixty paces, he drew his bow like a full moon, turned sideways to the first moving target to the left and aimed, the bowstring was loosened, and the Danzhu arrow shot like lightning to the center of the eyebrows of the moving puppet target, which was made of cork, and the arrows were relatively easy to shoot into, and the power of his first arrow was great, and with a sound, the arrow shot in from the center of the eyebrows, and actually shot through the puppet's head.

Li Zhen didn't look at the result at all, as soon as the first arrow was shot, the second arrow had already been mounted on the bow and arrow, his war horse only ran out of a dozen steps, and the face of the first puppet was at an oblique angle, and the second arrow was shot out instantly, this one accurately shot into the eyebrows of the puppet target again from the side, the tip of the arrow penetrated from the side of the head, and the two arrows were tightly crossed together in a figure-eight shape.

Without waiting for the guards to cheer, he had already changed his bow, facing the right, and unhurriedly pulled out a Danzhu arrow, and pulled the string with the arrow, like thunder.

At the moment when the war horse was about to break out of the sixty step line, the long arrow came out of the string, the arrow was like a meteor, and an arrow hit the eyebrows of the third puppet target on the right, and the long arrow came out through the wooden brain, and Li Zhen's war horse immediately rushed out of the archery.

The three arrows were so thrilling that all the guards opened their mouths and couldn't believe what they were seeing, they were simply wonderful.

After a long time, the guards watching around suddenly cheered like a tsunami, the guards raised their palms and clapped their hands, trying their best to tear open their throats and shout, regardless of whether they bought Li Zhen's guards sincerely admired the archery, Di Yan also followed the hoarse throat, waved his hands and jumped with excitement, and tears poured out.

Wu Zetian smiled slightly, turned his head and glanced at Shangguan Wan'er meaningfully, Shangguan Wan'er understood what she meant, bowed down and said: "His archery skills are indeed good, but good archery skills do not mean that he has the ability." ”

"He's not bad, we've all seen it, haven't we?"

"Your Majesty!"

At this time, Wang Xuan, the secretary of the military department, led the four of them to Wu Zetian, and the four of them saluted together, "See Your Majesty!"

Wu Zetian smiled and narrowed his eyes, and asked Wang Xuan: "I don't know much about the rules of the Ministry of War, since Wang Aiqing is the chief examiner, then Wang Aiqing will tell me, which of the four of them is better?"

"Returning to His Majesty, the four of them all shot at the excellent level of 'Sanshang', and they all opened the bow left and right, which is commendable, but the final ranking of the victory also needs to consider the pre-test score and some other special circumstances, such as the pull of the bow and arrow, etc., so Li Zhen and Li Yuan are slightly better. ”

Gai Jiayun didn't say anything, his own additional score was one point less, and one of the arrows hit the cheek of the puppet target, but did not hit the vital point, compared to the other three, his final riding and archery performance was inferior, he lost convincingly, ranked fourth, he was already satisfied.

Dou Xianyun suffered a loss because the bow and arrow were light, but he was slightly dissatisfied with Li Yuan, because he knew that Li Yuan actually took advantage of the bow, and he could only open a five-bucket bow with one stone, but because the bow was very good, he could also pull two stone bows, if he changed to the bow of the military department, could he pull two stones?

So Li Yuan is much inferior to himself in strength, although he is slightly better in archery, Li Yuan is the forehead in the three arrows, and he shot one eye, despite this, but compared to the difference in strength, Li Yuan should be under himself.

When Wang Xuan said Li Zhen and Li Yuan, Dou Xianyun couldn't hold back any longer, and said in a deep voice: "Weichen thinks that for the sake of fairness, everyone should choose the bow of the military department, and should not use their own bow. ”

After speaking, he also glanced at Li Yuan intentionally or unintentionally, Li Yuan's face was slightly red, he stepped forward and bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen's bow is the famous Bailu bow, although it is a two-stone bow, but the power of one stone and five can also be pulled, so Weichen is actually the weakest in terms of strength, and he does not dare to rank second, and he should be ranked fourth." ”

Wu Zetian's long eyebrows raised, and he looked at Wang Xuan again, "Wang Shangshu, what do you say?"

Wang Xuan said unhurriedly: "Weichen can only do things according to the rules, the rule is to check the bow and not the person, for example, General Dou actually has the strength of two stones and two buckets, and even the bow of two stones and five buckets can be pulled, but the bow he gave to the military department is a bow with one stone and nine stones, and the military department can only use the bow as the standard, so it is not about how much strength Li Yuan has, but because his bow is a two-stone bow, and Weichen thinks that he is not in the wrong ranking." ”

Wu Zetian looked at Dou Xianyun again, Dou Xianyun lowered his head and didn't dare to say more, arguing with the military department Shangshu in front of the saint was by no means a wise move.

At this time, Wu Zetian asked again: "Then who does Wang Shangshu think can be crowned?"

Wang Xuan smiled slightly, "Both of them are extremely clever in riding and shooting, and it is difficult to distinguish between them, although Li Zhen can hit the eyebrows with two arrows, and his strength is greater, but this is only a more fancy style, and in the actual martial arts, it can only be regarded as 'Sanshang' and Li Yuan." ”

"What does Wang Shangshu mean that the two are tied for first place?"

"Not really. Wang Xuan said unhurriedly: "Because the test is riding archery, not only shooting, but also riding, although archery is difficult to distinguish, but riding skills are superior, Li Zhen runs sixty steps and the range takes a little shorter, can shoot three arrows in a shorter time, and the horse control skills are slightly better, so Weichen believes that Li Zhen should win the championship." ”

Li Yuan secretly smiled bitterly, he remembered what Li Zhen said, his horse has the advantage, now it seems that his words are actually meaningful, he already knows that he will win on the horse, Li Yuan immediately bowed down and said: "Weichen is convinced!"

"What about the two of you?" Wu Zetian's gaze turned to Gai Jiayun and Dou Xianyun again.

Gai Jiayun has no opinion, and for Dou Xianyun, as long as it is not Li Yuan who takes the first, he can accept it, and he doesn't think that two arrows piercing the eyebrows is fancy, he knows that it is an extremely clever archery, that needs to be made up for the second arrow very quickly, there is no room for aim, it is completely based on the feeling left over from the first arrow, he thinks that he does not have such a clever archery.

Both stepped forward to salute, "We have no objection!"

Wu Zetian looked at Shangguan Wan'er again, and Shangguan Wan'er asked, "Then there are still more than 1,000 people who have not taken the exam, will there be any better results?"

Wang Xuan said with a smile: "Shangguan Sheren is too worried, Li Zhen's riding and archery is already the extreme, and the people behind him are at most as good as him, but the additional score is lower than Li Zhen, so no one will pass him again, and they will not pass the other three." ”

Wu Zetian said happily: "Since this is the case, I will appoint Li Zhen as the champion of the Saint Science and Martial Arts!"

Li Zhen stepped forward and knelt down on one knee, "Weichen Xie Xià love." ”

"It's not my love, it's your cavalry that everyone wants, and you deserve to win the championship. ”

Wu Zetian smiled again: "The four of you let me watch a wonderful cavalry and archery battle, and I will each reward three hundred taels of gold and a pair of white jade as a reward!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

When the news came out, the guards immediately cheered, especially the guards who bet on Li Zhen to win the championship were even more ecstatic and cheered, Di Yan was so excited that he clenched his fists and rushed towards Li Zhen
