The reason why the riding and archery competition is called a competition and not an exam is because there is a standard for foot shooting, and you can pass it, and there is no competition in the competition.

Mounted archery is the opposite, there is no standard, it is completely a competition between the contestants, and the one with the highest skill wins, so it is called a competition.

There are ten rounds of riding and archery exams, and there are five people in each round, each of whom has only one chance, and everyone else waits outside the school yard and can only enter by name.

This is also the new rule this year, last year everyone entered the field together to wait, it is said that last year there was harassment between the scholars, affecting the performance of the wave, so the rules were temporarily changed.

Li Zhen led his white horse and a group of scholars to wait outside, although he didn't know his final score of foot shooting, but he hit the bull's-eye with all five arrows, and the results had been confirmed by the examiner, and there was no problem in entering the top three.

Everyone led their horses, straightened their ears, and listened to the examiner call their names.

Many scholars are not participating in the competition for the first time, and some are participating for the third time, these are the children of large families in Shazhou, with superior family backgrounds and can afford to raise war horses.

"Suoping, Li Pan!"

The examiner read the name aloud, the voice was very high, read it two or three times, everyone heard it clearly, Li Pan turned over and glanced at Li Zhen disdainfully, "Don't you give up?"

Li Pan looked up to the sky and laughed, urging the horse to rush into the test room, at this time there were only three people left outside, and he still didn't call him, Li Zhen also began to beat the drum in his heart, is there really no himself?

His foot archery hit the bull's-eye, and the five examiners recorded the results at the same time, and the chief examiner notified him to participate in mounted archery, and the system was strict, and there was no reason not to allow him to participate in mounted archery.

Li Zhen thought of Li Pan's demeanor and what he said just now, is there really any conspiracy hidden here?

Li Zhen couldn't hold back any longer, urged the horse forward, and asked the examiner in a loud voice: "Excuse me, is there Li Zhen's name?"

The examiner looked at the list, shook his head and said, "There is only one surnamed Li in the list, called Li Pan, who has already entered just now, I'm sorry, there is no Li Zhen!"

Li Zhen was stunned, and then became furious, "Why is there no me?"

The examiner was an old man, he glanced at Li Zhen, and said slowly: "Young man, isn't it normal without you?" It means that your foot shooting is not qualified, and you can't make it to the fifty riding and archery places, so naturally there will be no you, don't be too angry, my old man's heart is not good." ”

Li Zhen already understood that these damn guys were playing tricks and feet in foot shooting, depressing their own results, and reducing themselves to outside the fifty cavalry shooting quotas, so he was naturally not eligible to participate in mounted archery.

They are all high-ranking officials, and their power covers the sky, and it is easy to do this kind of means, Li Zhen calmed down.

He restrained the anger in his heart, clenched his fists and asked, "May I ask the examiner, I want to check the results of foot shooting, how should I check it?"

The old man glanced at him again, and quietly pointed to an examiner next to him with a pen, Li Zhen immediately turned his horse's head, rushed to the examiner, and said, "I want to check the results of step shooting, am I looking for you?"

"It turned out to be Zhen Gongzi, didn't you go in?" the examiner knew Li Zhen and asked casually.

Li Zhen shook his head, "Saying that my infantry shooting results are not qualified, I want to know how many ranks I have in infantry shooting, is it fifty-first?"

"This"

The examiner's face showed embarrassment, and it took him half a day to take out a list, "According to the rules, it is not allowed to check the ranking, but for the sake of the villagers, I will help you take a look." ”

The examiner found the end from the beginning, and he was also a little stunned, "Zhen Gongzi, I can't believe it, but it is clearly written on it, and your ranking is last." ”

"What do you mean by the last?" Li Zhen was about to be furious.

"It's just no results. ”

Li Zhen snatched the famous paper from the examiner, and the examiner immediately shouted, "You can't read this, give it back to me!"

Li Zhen ignored him, he found his name at the end of the list, there was indeed no result, and there was a small note at the back, 'Violation with a bow'.

Li Zhen is like a basin of cold water pouring down from the top of his head, he has only learned the methods of officialdom until today, and it turns out that it has been a trap from beginning to end.

Let yourself go to the first greenhouse, arrange a special person to choose a bow for yourself, lure yourself to choose the two-stone bow, and finally appear in time and take the bow away, interlocking, without a trace of loopholes.

He also thought that Li Jin would not give up, he instinctively thought that Li Jin would make a ghost in the cavalry shooting, but he didn't expect that the other party would actually start when he was shooting on foot, and cleverly made him disqualified from participating in the cavalry shooting.

And even if Wang Xiaojie wanted to help him and let him go in to participate in mounted archery, but without the approval of the local government's martial arts, no matter how good his cavalry and archery swing was, he was not qualified to enter Beijing.

Li Zhen felt hopeless for the first time, he was a powerless and powerless small people, and in the end he could only be played by those in power.

But he is not reconciled, even if he has no achievements, he has to let the people of Shazhou know what happened to him.

Li Zhen was extremely angry in his heart, he turned the horse's head, whipped the horse's buttocks fiercely, and urged the horse to gallop towards the competition field.

"Stop him!" shouted several officials.

More than a dozen soldiers rushed over, waving spears to block his way, Li Zhen lifted the war horse, his legs clamped sharply, the war horse neighed, soared into the air, crossed over the heads of more than a dozen soldiers, and rushed into the test venue.

The drums in the test venue were thundering, the people were fascinated and shouting, applauding and cheering for the riders, Jiu Zhi and others stood in the first row in the south, they looked around looking for Li Zhen, and they were a little anxious.

Kang Sisi was so anxious that he stomped his feet, "Dead fat man, did you see Brother San Lang? It's almost over, why doesn't he play yet?"

Jiuzhi spread his hands helplessly, "I'm standing with you, you don't see it, can I see it?"

At this time, Li Quan squeezed over, "Sisi, little fatty, have you seen my Ah Zhen?"

"Eldest sister, we didn't see him either, it's strange, he should have played a long time ago, why didn't he come yet?"

At this moment, Kang Dazhuang pointed to the door and shouted, "Look, Ah Zhen is out!"

Everyone saw it, and saw Li Zhen riding on a white horse, rushing into the test venue like a gust of wind, chasing a group of soldiers behind, but Li Zhen was thrown farther and farther away.

Kang Sisi and Li Quan shouted excitedly, and Jiu Zhi was even more excited to clash with his fists, "Sure enough, as my fat master expected, the last one in the finale." ”

On the high platform, several high-ranking officials had different expressions, Wang Xiaojie and Zhang Ting were silent, as if they didn't know who was coming.

Li Wuqi and Changshi Jiang Yuan only took care of the imperial examination and township examination, and basically didn't care about the martial arts, and they didn't know what happened.

Only Suo Zhiping and Li Jin looked at each other, how could this kid rush in? Li Jin felt that something was wrong, and I was afraid that things were going to get bigger.

At this time, Li Zhen galloped to the front of the high platform, and he clasped his fists in front of the stage and shouted: "General, student Li Zhen is willing to perform riding and archery for you!"

Wang Xiaojie smiled, "Who are you? Why do you want to perform mounted archery for me, don't you participate in the mounted archery competition?"

Assassin Shi Li Wuqi recognized Li Zhen, he was surprised, turned around and asked Suo Zhiping, "Suo Sima, didn't this kid participate in riding and shooting?"

Suo Zhiping hurriedly shook his head, "I don't know the specific officials, does Zhang Junenvoy know?"

He easily pushed the matter to Zhang Ting, and Zhang Ting laughed, "Suo Sima is Sima of Shazhou, and he is fully responsible for the Wuju Township Test, I just sent troops to maintain order, why did you ask me?"

Wang Xiaojie pretended to be surprised and asked, "Is this young man very important?"

Li Wuqi already understands a little, it is estimated that these people have pitted Li Zhen, although he is an official with a relatively sense of justice, but after all, he is a person in the officialdom.

He didn't want to offend his colleagues for an ordinary teenager, and it was estimated that there was some kind of scandal involved, and family scandals could not be publicized.

Li Wuyi smiled and said: "This young man is very famous in Dunhuang riding archery, and I don't know why he didn't participate in today's riding and archery competition." ”

Wang Xiaojie seemed to be more interested, and asked Suo Zhiping: "When will the competition end?"

"Back to the general, there is one last round. ”

"That's it! Anyway, it's still early, it's okay to sit, since this young man is famous for riding and archery in Shazhou, you might as well let him perform riding and shooting, what do you think?"

Everyone felt that it was inappropriate, how could anyone run out to perform riding and archery, and even if there was a performance, it was arranged by the government in advance.

Only Zhang Tingying said peacefully: "Since the general has this Yaxing, I think it should be arranged, what does Suo Sima mean?"

Suo Zhiping scolded secretly in his heart, but Wang Xiaojie had already spoken, he couldn't sweep the general's face, so he had to reluctantly smile: "It can be arranged!"

Wang Xiaojie nodded, got up and smiled at Li Zhen: "This young man, everyone agrees to let you perform riding and archery after the competition, I hope you don't let me down." ”

Zhang Ting also smiled and said, "Gongzi Li, General Wang is a distinguished guest from afar, since he is willing to watch you perform mounted archery, don't spoil the general's interest." ”

Zhang Ting is hinting to Li Zhen, don't tell the matter, it will ruin everyone's interest, and it will not be good for you.

Li Zhen had calmed down from the initial anger and nodded silently, he already understood what Zhang Ting meant, Wang Xiaojie was just a guest, and the guest would not take care of the affairs of the host's family, it seemed that he couldn't turn the tables.

But Li Zhen also held his breath, even if he couldn't turn the tables, he had to raise his eyebrows and let them see what real archery was, and make them feel humiliated.

"Thank you, General!"

Li Zhen turned his horse's head and ran to the sidelines, grinding his fists and palms, preparing for the last moment of shame
