For several days, Xie Tong was training with the army. His injuries healed more quickly, and although he was still coughing, he no longer had the feeling of breathlessness he had before.

The fight with the soldiers is even hotter, and all the soldiers know his relationship with Lord Wang and Yi Wuxing, but Xie Tong did not take advantage of this relationship, he should train and train, he should work hard, there is no trace of laziness, he does not enjoy any privileges, and the soldiers admire him very much, and feel that he is a real hero.

There are two days left to Chinese New Year's Eve, and on this day, Yi Fearless Orthodox Orthodox Xie Pupil practiced bow and arrow, Wang Daoxun actually came to the school field, accompanied by Wang Wanru.

Everyone was very happy to see Lord Wang, and their eyes also revealed respect. Lord Wang came directly to Xie Tong and said, "Xie Tong, how do you feel in the barracks?"

Xie Tong said, "Back to my lord, Xie Tong feels very good, and he rides and shoots arrows with his brothers every day, and he is very happy."

Wang Daoxun laughed and said, "It should be so." ”

Wang Wanru did not shy away from suspicion, and walked up to Xie Tong with a smile and asked long and short questions.

Wang Daoxun pondered for a moment and said, "From now on, Xie Tong will be appointed as the commander of the Hebei Army, and he can dispatch and command the forward battalion and the guard battalion. ”

The soldiers shouted.

Wang Wanru looked at Xie Tong very proudly.

Xie Tong didn't expect Lord Wang to value him so much, but he had been in the barracks for a long time and had become accustomed to the customs of the barracks. Hurriedly said, "Please take back your life, Xie Tong has not made an inch, and he can't accept the kindness of adults." ”

Wang Daoxun immediately grasped Xie Tong's psychological changes, and he was very happy in his heart.

Without waiting for Wang Daoxun to speak, a person walked out of the crowd and hugged his fists and said, "Lord Qiyu, Xie Tong has just arrived in the army, and he has no merit and hopelessness, so he rashly promoted the subordinate officers and refused to accept it." ”

The soldiers let out a sigh.

Xie Tong looked at this person lightly, this person is extremely tall and handsome, with snow-white armor and shiny armor, obviously a general at the level of a battalion commander, obviously his status in the Hebei Army is not low, otherwise he would not be so bold.

Wang Wanru showed displeasure on her face, and whispered in Xie Tong's ear, "This person's name is Xue Yue, he is the battalion commander of the forward battalion of the Hebei Army, and he is a relative of Gonggong Tian next to Shengshang, and he has always relied on the prestige of Gonggong Tian. It is very hateful. I've been pursuing Wanru, I guess I don't care about him!. ”

Wang Daoxun looked at the battalion commander of the forward battalion coldly, and said unhappily, "What does Battalion Commander Xue have in mind!"

Xue Yue crossed the crowd and saw the intimate appearance of Wang Wanru and Xie Tong, and became angry namelessly, and said, "The last general doesn't dare to raise his mind, he just speaks his heart for the majority of soldiers." Xie Tong's promotion without meritorious service is really not in line with the customs of my Hebei Iron Army, and it will make the soldiers feel cold when they do this. And Xie Tong is a new recruit, and he has not yet had the ability to serve the public."

Xie Tong looked towards Xue Yue, and Xue Yue also stared at Xie Tong deadly, a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

In the face of Xue Yue's aggressiveness, Xie Tong said, "Ask Camp Commander Xue, what is the ability to serve the public." ”

Xue Yue glanced at Xie Tong contemptuously, and said, "If Brother Xie can be unmatched in a certain aspect, then the brothers will think that Brother Xie has the potential to be the commander, for example, Brother Xie's archery skills can be better than Zaixia."

The crowd let out exclamations.

In the Hebei Army, Xue Yue is one of the best in terms of archery, no wonder he is so arrogant.

At this moment, even Yi Wuxing couldn't sit still, this Xue Yue was really too deceitful.

Xie Tong had already seen from everyone's reactions that Xue Yue's archery was powerful, but he couldn't retreat at the moment, if he confessed today, he would never be able to raise his head in the Hebei army, Xie Tong walked in front of Wang Daoxun, and said, "Please take back your life, but Xie Tong is not capable of being the second commander."

Everyone showed a disappointed look, Xue Yue was also proud, Xie Tong really didn't dare to fight with him, this kid who came out of nowhere dared to rob a woman with him, he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, he was lucky this time, and he would definitely find an opportunity to repair him in the future.

Xie Tong suddenly turned around and said, "But Xie is willing to test the archery with Camp Commander Xue, and he also asks Camp Commander Xue to draw the next line."

Everyone was moved, Xue Yue's archery skills were extremely accurate, Xie Tong challenged him, and it was inevitable that he would be defeated.

Xue Yue didn't expect Xie Tong to be so kind, and he was overjoyed in his heart. He deliberately showed off his swordsmanship, and said, "Ordinary bows and arrows can shoot a hundred steps, Xue has a two-stone giant bow built by Xue Persian craftsmen, if it can be full, it can shoot two hundred steps, it is better to set up a target two hundred steps away, and Brother Xie will try it together." ”

The army advocates force, and when they heard that there was such a wonderful competition, everyone was better and let out enthusiastic cheers. Even Yi Fearless also wants to watch such a unique competition.

Wang Wanru nervously held Xie Tong's hand and signaled him not to be impulsive.

Xie Tong deliberately patted Wang Wanru's delicate face, he wanted to provoke Xue Yue.

Xue Yue glared at Xie Tong fiercely, he picked up the giant bow and said, "Brother Xie, Xue is ugly." He picked up the giant bow, slowly took out a bamboo arrow from the quiver, leaned slightly sideways, shouted violently, the giant bow slowly pulled away, and it became a half-moon shape, everyone sighed at his strength, only to see Xue Yue let go of the bow and arrow with two fingers, and the arrow rushed out like a meteor, and went straight to the arrow target two hundred steps away.

Xue Yue shot three arrows in a row, and the arrows hit the target, and all the soldiers let out a strong cheer. Xie Tong also felt extremely stressed.

Xue Yue handed the giant bow to Xie Tong, showed a smug look, and said, "Brother Xie, it's your turn."

Wang Wanru and the others really sweated for Xie Tong. He is not healed, can he draw such a large bow and arrow?

Xie Tong slowly walked out of the field, he stretched out his two fingers and pulled out a bamboo arrow from the quiver, remembering the mystery that Yi Wudaunt gave him. He violently lifted Huang Tian's innocence, squatted slightly, and directly pulled the giant bow into the shape of a full moon, and the full giant bow was very stable without the slightest trembling. Xie Tong let go of the long arrow and made a crisp sound, the long arrow was very fast, like lightning across the school field, and with a bang, the arrow directly penetrated the bull's-eye.

Everyone applauded, and the bullseye was pierced from 200 steps away, which was not only a matter of accuracy, but a better strength, and Wang Wanru and the others were even more painful to clap their hands.

Xie Tong drew the bow and arrows again, and the second arrow was shot, with previous experience, this sword shot more rounded and more powerful, the long sword slashed across the school field again, and came towards the arrow target fiercely, only to hear a snap, and actually smashed the arrow target.

The entire school field suddenly fell silent, everyone looked at the smashed arrow target in disbelief, and then broke out into extremely enthusiastic cheers, Wang Wanru happily ran to Xie Tong to celebrate him. 、

Yi Wudauntless shouted: "Now the prestige of the first magic arrow of the Hebei Army can change hands."

Xie Tong had no need to shoot the third arrow at all.

Everyone completely forgot about the sharpshooter who pierced through Yang in a hundred steps just now.

Xie Tong walked through the crowd and came to Xue Yue's face, and said, "More Brother Xue's treasure bow."

Xue Yue took the giant bow with a dead face, and couldn't say a word.

The New Year passed in the blink of an eye, and Xie Tong spent a New Year full of expectations in Lord Wang's mansion. Although he was accompanied by Wang Wanru, Yi Wuxing and others, he was never happy. After being out of the mountain for so long, I don't know how the master and his old man are doing, whether Hong Shan is still waiting for him, and whether Cai Wei is safe and sound. Thinking of this, Xie Tong was full of sorrow.

He didn't need to stay in Luoyang City for a few days, and returned to the barracks after the second year of junior high school, although Wang Wanru tried his best to keep him, he still refused. Only in the barracks can he feel that he is still truly alive and still working hard for his dreams and love.

The atmosphere in the barracks was very relaxed, after all, it was the new year, everyone was immersed in a cheerful atmosphere, and it was also a common practice in the army that all training was canceled before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Xie Tong did not give up training, and still practiced running and archery with weights every day. His injuries were extremely serious, especially the sword that pierced his right lung, which always made him feel unhappy when he exerted himself.

In the early morning of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the cold wind was blowing, Xie Tong was still practicing running with weights, and Yi Wudang came to him in a hurry.

Xie Tong said, "What are you looking for Lao Tzu to do early in the morning, didn't you see that the master was training?"

Yi Wuxing rode a horse and followed behind Xie Tong, there were only two of them on the school field, and the sound of horses' hooves made a rhythmic sound. He looked at the tired and panting Xie Tong, and said with a smile, "Good news for you."

Xie Tong didn't reply, "What good news can there be, it's not that Lao Tzu is adding twenty catties of weight!"

Yi Wudaunt grabbed the reins and said, "Your Excellency may enter Beijing in the near future, and I plan to let you go with me, since you don't want to listen, forget it." With that, he rode his horse and galloped out.

Xie Tong suddenly heard about entering Beijing, and his heart was happy, but Yi Wudaunt rode away, he ran a few steps, and found that he couldn't catch up with him with the heavy armor on his back, so he scolded a few words in place.

In Lord Wang's mansion, Xie Tong and a few people sat in the hall drinking tea, waiting for Wang Daoxun with anticipation, at this moment he was anxious, after learning the news, he couldn't hold it back, and he had already flown to Chang'an.

Wang Daoxun finally appeared, Xie Tong had been waiting in the hall for half an hour, drank five or six cups of tea, and said busily, "Lord Wang."

Wang Daoxun sat on the top leisurely, took a sip of hot tea, and said with a smile, "The tea is good."

Xie Tong hurriedly said, "I heard that the adult will go to Chang'an in the near future, and Xie is willing to follow the adult." ”

Wang Daoxun said, "But there is such a thing, the Holy Lord is about to use troops against Huangchao, and a general meeting is scheduled to be held on the fourth day of the second month to discuss the use of troops." ”

Xie Tong was a lot disappointed, he didn't expect the time to be so far, and hurriedly said, "My lord, Xie wants to go to Chang'an alone, set off a few days in advance, deal with the old affairs of Chang'an, and hope that the adults will agree." ”

Without waiting for Wang Daoxun to reply, Wang Wanru said happily, "This idea is good, it is rumored that the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month of Chang'an is very lively, so it is better to go a few days earlier and watch the lanterns." Father, Wanru also wanted to go around Chang'an."

As soon as these words came out, several people in the hall became unnatural. Xie Tong didn't want to go with Wang Wanru, he hadn't fully accepted this graceful woman in his heart, and it was extremely inconvenient to go with him. The second is that he does have important things to deal with when he goes to Chang'an, and there are many enemies in Chang'an, and if one is not careful, he will be attacked, and he is still difficult to protect himself, how can he have the opportunity to take care of her.

Wang Daoxun also didn't want his daughter to go to Chang'an, at present, the Tang Empire was worried about internal and external troubles, the internal Yellow Nest was in chaos, there were ethnic minorities eyeing each other, and the Tang Army was also extremely discordant, so she went to increase the danger factor.

Wang Daoxun sank his face and said, "The girl's family knows how to play, Chang'an is a place where dragons and tigers are mixed, and my father has important things to do when he goes to Chang'an, so how can I have time to accompany you to see what lanterns."

Wang Wanru did not obey the Tao: "Father, Wanru has never been to Chang'an, this time my father entered Beijing, he will take me to take me! Wanru will definitely not bring any trouble to my father." Wanru is accompanied by Brother Xie and Fearless Brother. ”
