This year is the first year of the Tang Dynasty, and it is also the fourth year of the Holy Spirit Emperor Wu Zetian's reign, and it is the mid-spring season, which is also the most intoxicating season of the year in Dunhuang.

The mandarin fish in the sweet spring water are fat, the peachy and willow green on both sides of the river, the wheat fields spit out tender sprouts, and the air flows with fragrant breath.

Perhaps because of his youth, although Li Zhen didn't sleep in the middle of the night, he was still energetic and didn't show any signs of sleepiness.

In a moment, he took Kang Sisi to the school field not far from his home, which was originally a military camp of the Doulu army, and later all the Doulu army moved outside the city, and this school field became a place for nearby civilians to rest and gather.

Li Zhen is indeed a little late today, there are already many teenagers living nearby in the school field practicing archery, tomorrow is the day of the martial arts township test, although they have already tested weightlifting and routine marksmanship before, but the key is to take the arrow test tomorrow.

The archery test is divided into foot archery and mounted archery, the difficulty of the two is not the same, thousands of young men in Dunhuang practice martial arts, but there are only a few dozen people who can ride and shoot, and Li Zhen is one of the best.

As a result, dozens of teenagers in the school yard were practicing foot archery, and no one was training in mounted archery.

When Li Zhen walked into the school field, more than 20 teenagers surrounded him, these teenagers were all neighbors, in the naughty childhood, they used to be Li Zhen's subordinates, and now everyone has grown up and become his admirers.

"San Lang is here!"

Li Zhen smiled and hugged his fists to everyone, "All the brothers have almost practiced, how about letting me shoot a few arrows on the field?"

"It's okay! Saburo shot a few more arrows to show us. ”

Everyone gossiped, laughing and coaxing, "Why did San Lang bring Sisi too, I see, I understand, does San Lang think we are in the way here?"

At this moment, Sisi's frightened scream came from the side, "Ahhh

Everyone turned around, only to see Sisi covering her mouth with her hands, looking at the iron cage in front of her in horror, the cloth of the cage had been lifted by her, and there were more than a dozen black and fat mice inside.

Everyone laughed, "Sisi, you carried it all the way, didn't you know that there was a black-faced Xiaolangjun inside?"

Sisi was so angry that he stomped his feet, "I don't know!

Seeing that she was interesting, everyone couldn't help but laugh again, Li Zhen stepped forward and said with a smile: "These are my live targets for archery, I wanted to ask you for help, if you are afraid, I will let others help, you go back first!"

"I'm actually just scared of them. ”

"Well, you take the cages behind the tree and let them out one by one. Li Zhen pointed to a red willow tree a hundred steps away.

Sisi hesitated for a long time, then slowly picked up the iron cage and walked towards the big tree in the distance step by step, everyone was shouting: "Sisi, how about we catch a few more?"

"You bad guys, I'll come back to see your jokes for exams tomorrow!"

Everyone laughed a few words, and their attention was focused on Li Zhen, Li Zhen had turned over and got on the horse, he galloped on the horse, the sound of the horse's hooves was like thunder, and the snow-white horse galloped in the school yard, and the rolling yellow dust was stirred up behind him.

"Brother San Lang, the first one has come out!" Sisi shouted from behind the tree in the distance.

Li Zhen held a longbow in his hand, leaned slightly, his legs tightly clamped the war horse, and his eyes were like lightning staring at the grass a hundred steps away.

He quickly drew an arrow, his long arm pulled the bowstring, the bow stretched like a full moon, a wolf's tooth arrow shot out like lightning, and there was a 'squeak' from eighty paces away, and a black-haired fat rat was firmly nailed to the ground by the long arrow.

"Good archery!" the teenagers exclaimed in unison, and there was a round of applause.

"Brother San Lang, do you want to put the second one now?"

"Let's go!"

Li Zhen galloped and drew an arrow from the quiver on his back again

Before the age of seven, Li Zhen, like the teenagers around him, was just a naughty boy near the north gate of Dunhuang City, and at that time he had not yet opened the memories of his previous life, but his extraordinary talent was gradually revealed.

Not only does he have a natural leadership temperament and become the leader of a group of children, but he also has an amazing memory, reads books and never forgets, and is even more talented in martial arts.

He and a group of children ran to the martial arts hall to peek at the adults practicing martial arts, and other children couldn't remember it after watching it ten or eight times, but he only watched it once and comprehended the essence.

Li Zhen's grandfather was a doctor of Shazhou Prefecture, a firm believer in Buddhism, and a layman at the Dayun Temple in Dunhuang.

On Li Zhen's eighth birthday, his grandfather took him to Dayun Temple to participate in the Buddha Worship Conference, and by chance, an old monk in Dayun Temple showed his unique talent.

This old monk was his master, Master Wangchen, who had just come to Dunhuang from the Central Plains to become a monk, but he was already over 60 years old.

The origin of Master Wangchen is extremely mysterious, no one knows his common name, and they don't know what he has done, but Li Zhen's grandfather admires his literary attainments so much that he does not hesitate to hand over his grandson to him.

However, Master Forget Chen did not teach Li Zhen much literature, but focused more on teaching him martial arts and teaching him the art of Guigu Vertical and Horizontal.

Li Zhen not only has extraordinary talent, but he also pays ten times more sweat and effort than ordinary people, and the sword edge is sharpened, and it is his hard work that makes him practice today's martial arts.

"Brother San Lang, are you ready?"

His thoughts were interrupted by a crisp voice in the distance, and he focused his attention on the longbow in his hand.

"Sisi, there should be the last one!"

Li Zhen shouted, turned the horse's head, changed to holding the bow in his right hand, drew the last arrow with his left hand, and waited for the last black mouse to appear.

At this moment, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and everyone turned back one after another, only to see a dozen young men on horseback rushing into the school field.

More than a dozen people are freshly dressed and angry, wearing ornately decorated swords at their waists, and there are gold-painted thrush bows in their bow bags, they are all the children of large families in Dunhuang, their families are wealthy, and they have the conditions to practice riding and archery with horses, and among them there are two young people who are even more different.

The two young men, about seventeen or eighteen years old, wore moon-white satin robes, a plain jade belt around their waists, black boots, a lacquered sarong crown on their heads, and each wore a sword of the highest class inlaid with gold and jade.

"It's the Soxhlet brothers!"

Someone shouted in a low voice, and Li Zhen also recognized these two young people, they were two cousins, the elder brother was called Suo Wen, and the younger brother was called Suo Ying, who was the son of the famous Suo family in Shazhou.

No one in Dunhuang City knew the two brothers, and they were quite strong in martial arts, so they called themselves rangers and led a group of rich children to act recklessly in Dunhuang City.

Maybe it's because of his young age, what he did is not hurtful, but it is also troublesome, disgusting, and the people of Dunhuang call them the two mosquitoes and flies behind their backs.

More than a dozen children of rich families galloped into the school field, galloped around the school field, drew their swords one after another, and cut off the straw man target that the teenagers practiced archery, and one of the children shouted: "We are going to practice riding and archery here, everyone will go out!"

Seeing that they were rude, everyone was very angry in their hearts, but they were afraid of the Suo family's forces, and they dared not speak out.

Suo Ying recognized Li Zhen, so he smiled at his brother Suo Wen: "Brother did you see it, that person is actually there." ”

Suo Wen had already seen Li Zhen, and he shouted, "Stop!"

All the riders reined in their horses, and Suo Wen urged the horse forward, and said with a dry laugh: "It turned out to be Li Gongzi, are you also practicing archery here?"

"Brother, you're mistaken!"

Later, Suo Ying stepped forward, pointed to Sisi in the distance, and said with a sarcastic smile: "Where are they practicing arrows like this, they are clearly out for an outing and making love, what a pair of talented women, such a match!"

Dunhuang Hu and Han are mixed, the status of the Han people is generally higher than that of the Hu people, the Hu people are mainly engaged in business, and most of the young Hu women entertain people with sex and art in wine shops and green houses, or marry large families as concubines, Suo Ying said that Li Zhen and Sisi are very compatible, obviously sarcastic.

All the children of the rich family laughed, but Li Zhen was not annoyed, but said coldly: "Everything comes first and then comes, if you want to practice archery, you should wait for a while, or discuss with good words, such a big move, destroy people's arrow targets, could it be that this is the Suo family's style?"

Suo Ying was furious, pointed at Li Zhen with a horsewhip and shouted: "Bastard, you dare to insult my family!"

Suo Wen waved his hand, stopped his brother's scolding, and smiled proudly at Li Zhen: "The Suo family is not a bully, but they believe that the strong man is the king, if you have the ability, you will drive us out, if you don't have the ability, then please go out, it's as simple as that!"

Suo Wen turned back to the rich children and smiled, "Am I right?"

The children of the rich family laughed, "Gongzi Wen is so right, that's what happened!"

Li Zhen sneered and shouted loudly: "Sisi, let the last one go." ”

He galloped on the school yard with a steed, and ran to the edge of the school yard one hundred and fifty paces away from the red willows, when there was still the last squeaky rat king in the iron cage, black and shiny, fat and strong, and he was restless and gnawed at the iron cage, and made a piercing and sharp sound.

Sisi held back the fear in her heart, carefully lifted the small door of the iron cage, and the black rat escaped from the iron cage and ran into the depths of the grass.

"Brother San Lang, it's released!"

"You're all watching!"

Li Zhen shouted, he drew his bow like a full moon in the gallop, and an arrow shot out from a hundred and fifty paces away, the shadow of the arrow suddenly disappeared, the power was strong, and the wolf's tooth arrow hit the head of the black mouse, nailing it to death in the grass.

There was silence on the school field, everyone was dumbfounded, Li Zhen urged the horse back, and said to Suo Wen and the rich children: "Since the strong man is the king, then you can please shoot arrows!" ”

Suo Wen's face was red and white, and he was really annoyed and angry in his heart, but he was helpless, his archery skills were too far behind, and it was a shame to take it out, so he had to wave his hand, "Let's go to the East Campus!"

The children of the rich family were bored, so they had to turn their horses' heads and prepare to leave, at this time Suo Wen couldn't hold his face, and he said again: "I missed the sword competition last time, I was careless, do you dare to compete with me again?"

Li Zhen said lightly: "If Gongzi Wen is interested, I will accompany him at any time." ”

"Then it's a word, and I'll give you a sword post!"

Suo Wen turned the horse's head and left, more than a dozen rich children urged the horses, and left the school field with the Suo brothers in their arms, only to hear Suo Ying shouting from a distance: "Li Zhen, don't dream, the quota for martial arts to enter Beijing is not your turn!"

Li Zhen was stunned, what did he mean by this?
