After Sima Xiangru heard Xie Tong finish speaking, he heard the sound of clothes in the corridor, and secretly said that Xie Tong had such a strong ear power, and he was indeed better than him.

Two father-in-law people rushed out of the corridor, and when they saw Sima Xiangru, they said loudly, "Commander Sima, there is an order from the saint, and I order Xie Tong to enter the competition."

Sima Xiangru couldn't believe his ears, besides Wang Daoxun, could anyone else recommend Xie Tong?

Xie Tong was very happy, Song Wenyuan was really a brother.

Sima Xiangru said, "Who strongly recommended Xie Tong", and he asked the two fathers-in-law who passed the word.

Gong Gong said, "Returning to Lord Sima, it's King Wu!"

Sima Xiangru was stunned on the spot, King Wu he couldn't afford to provoke, don't say it's him, even his father Sima Xuan again, he also has to give three points, after all, Li Zheng, the king of Wu, is not as good as Li Zhaorun, Li Zheng is a famous and real prince, holding a large army, and is one of the few outstanding among the children of the Li family. He waved his hand and motioned for Xie Tong to go in, without looking at Xie Tong.

Xie Tong was also shocked, this time he really admired Song Wenyuan, he was able to say that King Wu was moved, he didn't expect Song Wenyuan to have such a face.

In contemplation, Xie Tong walked into the school grounds. The school field is a huge open space, surrounded by a large circle, full of festival envoys and generals in the army, from this point of view, the so-called festival envoy recommendation, but the enemy in order to target him, it is estimated that the stage competition needs to be recommended, and there are not so many ways to watch.

Xie Tong looked at the opposite side, and there was a huge stand on the opposite side, the flags on the stand were fluttering, full of princes and nobles, and today's saint, the lord of the world, Tang Xizong, sat in the center of the stands, Tang Xizong had big ears, his body was slightly fat, his belly was slightly bulging, he was dressed in a golden dragon robe, wearing a five-party crown, and sat on the dragon chair very domineeringly. Whoever else I feel, there is a huge screen behind the saint, embroidered with a real dragon, Xie Tong can't help but sigh, the saint is the saint, it is the only ninety-five honor in the world, only from this aura, this style is different from Huang Chao and others.

Song Wenyuan had been waiting for him at the entrance, and when he saw Xie Tong coming in, he stared at the saint without turning his eyes, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, and said softly, "Are you crazy, you dare to be like this, aren't you afraid of being killed?"

Xie Tong was puzzled, "What's the matter?"

Song Wenyuan continued, "Without the permission of the saint, you can't watch and look at it, this is a great disrespect to the word of heaven, it is blasphemy, do you understand!"

Xie Tong didn't expect that just a glance at the emperor was such a serious crime, and he hurriedly turned his gaze to the side.

On both sides of Tang Xizong were Huaiwang Li Zhaorun, Taiwei Sima Xuan, and Tian Gonggong stood behind Tang Xizong. There is also a young man sitting at the bottom of Li Zhaorun, thinking that it is the legendary Wu King Li Zheng. Li Zheng is about 20 years old, tall and mighty, he has dark skin, but good facial features, although young, but gives people a feeling of being shrewd and sincere, at a glance is a wise and brave person, no wonder it is called the hope of the Tang Empire and the Li family.

Song Wenyuan said, "This person is Li Zheng, the king of Wu, if it weren't for the prince's recommendation, I'm afraid you wouldn't even be able to enter the school today!"

Xie Tong remembered the purpose of coming in, and saw that the school was trying to shoot arrows in the middle of the school, Xie Tong was startled, and said, "Have you finished the riding and archery competition?"

Song Wenyuan said, "It's just over, your little brother is really good, and he has already won the championship."

Xie Tong was secretly happy in his heart, and he smiled and said, "Since my brother has won the championship, of course the younger brother can't make a fool of himself, big brother, arrange this competition for me." ”

Song Wenyuan said, "I have already greeted the prince, and Li Zheng, the king of Wu, is very appreciative of these capable people in the army, which is very different from the saint who does not like martial arts, so you have the opportunity to play."

Xie Tong looked at Li Zheng gratefully, he had doubts in his heart, is this Li Zheng really the hope of the Tang Empire?

Just hesitating, this round of 200 steps of the arrow target competition has ended, these masters from all over the world have used their skills, and the number of people who hit the bull's-eye is not counted, and it is difficult to divide the superior.

I only heard the contestant shouting the names of the next contestants, "Shandong Xu Yuan, Yanjing Lai Kezhong, Henan Wang Yingjian, Luoyang Xue Yue, Chengdu Xie Tong next to the competition"

When Xue Yue's name was read, the audience exclaimed, obviously Xue Yue's name is very loud, and he also has a great reputation in Chang'an, which has a lot to do with his uncle Tian Gonggong.

Xie Tong slowly walked into the arena, Xue Yue was still enjoying everyone's cheers, he looked at Xie Tong triumphantly, not taking him in his eyes at all, and several other people turned a blind eye to Xie Tong, obviously ignoring Xie Tong's existence.

Xie Tong carefully observed a few people, they were obviously soldiers who had been on the battlefield for a long time, not only burly, but also with thick arms, which was not expected to be so easy in this round of competition.

Before the competition began, Xue Yue said loudly to the test officer, "Lord Qiyu, comparing arrows before the battle, the emphasis is on distance, accuracy, and ruthlessness, the distance of two hundred steps is too close to reflect the true strength of an excellent archer, just now the Lord also saw that many people can hit the bull's-eye with an arrow two hundred steps away, and the lower official proposed to change the distance to three hundred steps."

As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar, you must know that the distance of ordinary archers is only one hundred and fifty steps, and those who can shoot two hundred steps are already excellent swordsmen in each army, this time suddenly mentioned three hundred steps, how not to surprise the audience, and also surprised, it seems that this Xue Yue really has two hits, otherwise he would not let go of this wild talk.

The examiner had never experienced such a thing, and he didn't dare to make a decision, so he set his sights on Li Zhaorun, the king of Huai, after all, Li Zhaorun was the marshal of the Southern Expedition, and everything would be controlled by him.

Without waiting for Li Zhaorun's reaction, Wu King Li Zheng suddenly stood up and respectfully said to Tang Xizong, "Enlighten my father, there are extraordinary people in the army, since this person proposed a target for three hundred steps, he must be confident, so that he can indeed stand tall, and the child implores his father to approve his proposal."

Taiwei Sima Xuan also smiled and said, "Qi Sheng, such a person can hit the bull's-eye three hundred steps away, it is really the blessing of my Tang Army, and it is also the blessing of the Holy Lord, and I also ask the Holy Lord to allow King Wu's request."

The audience was silent, waiting for the emperor's decision.

Tang Xizong pondered for a while, and said, "Quasi-playing, if the second person can hit the bull's-eye three hundred steps away, he can be promoted to two levels and appointed as the deputy governor of the army."

The audience was in an uproar again, and as soon as the Holy Chrysostom opened, if it was announced whether this person's career could rise in the future, the key would depend on whether Xue Yue could fight for it.

Xue Yue knelt directly to the ground and shouted, "My emperor is wise, and the villain Xue Yue will definitely live up to the high expectations of the saint!"

Several other people glared at Xue Yue fiercely, this person was really too hateful.

Xie Tong didn't understand Xue Yue's move very much, in the previous competition in Luoyang, his archery skills were obviously more than one step higher than Xue Yue, but Xue Yue still dared to be so arrogant, presumably he was prepared, he was not guarded.

The arrow target has been moved to three hundred steps away, Xie Tong squinted, it was indeed far away, there were already soldiers who brought up the bows and arrows used by everyone, five bamboo arrows per person, but the bows used were not quite the same, Xue Yue used the Persian giant bow he made in Luoyang, Lai Kezhong also used a big bow, obviously prepared, and the rest of the people used ordinary bows and arrows in the barracks, Xie Tong said in his heart, no wonder he was so arrogant, it turned out to be the power of the treasure bow.

Xue Yue was holding a giant bow, he deliberately showed off, deliberately pulled the two-stone giant bow round, it seems that he has not neglected his swordsmanship during this time, and he has been more refined in strength. Everyone applauded him, and it had been a long time since he had seen such a mighty soldier.

Xue Yue's fingers were loosened, the giant bow made a buzzing sound, and the crisp sound spread throughout the school field, only to see the bamboo arrow cut through the school field like a meteor, from east to west, Zheng's sound, steadily hit the bull's-eye, the audience shouted, Xue Yue is worthy of Xue Yue, this arrow shot very exquisitely, as he said, steady, accurate, ruthless, three into one, this is a scene that has never been seen in hundreds of years, even Wu Wang Li Zheng also waved his fist excitedly.

Five arrows in a row, all of them shot at the target three hundred steps away, except for the fifth arrow, the remaining four arrows all hit the bull's-eye, the cries in the stands were higher and higher, and Xue Yue's victory was already a foregone conclusion.

Xu Yuan and Wang Yingjian abstained from the competition, in their opinion, 200 steps has become the limit, rather than being embarrassed on the field, it is better to abstain.

Lai Kezhong walked up with his huge bow, this man was extremely tall, his arms were as thick as a bull, and he was obviously very strong, and the distance of three hundred steps must be able to support it.

Lai Kezhong clenched his giant bow, his bow was an inch bigger than Xue Yue's bow, but it was not as delicate as Xue Yue's bow, it was much rougher in comparison, he held a bamboo arrow, lightly put on the string, and shouted, the bamboo arrow was also like a meteor across the school field, firmly rooted in the bull's-eye, everyone couldn't believe their eyes, the Tang Empire suddenly came out with two hundred steps through the Yang archer, how could it not be amazing.

Xie Tong carefully observed this big man, this big man has obviously been immersed in the bow and arrow for many years, just look at the posture of pulling the bow to know that this person is proficient in the number of bows and arrows, with his strength, it is easy to pull the giant bow full, but it is only half pulled, the grasp of the strength is simply amazing, although the posture is not beautiful, but it is extremely practical, and it saves great strength in the battlefield class.

Obviously, Lai Kezhong has no popularity, and the cheers of the crowd are much smaller than just now, but Lai Kezhong doesn't care about these, he shot steadily and steadily, and finally shot the five arrows, surprisingly, the five arrows all hit the bull's-eye, better than Xue Yue's results, when the results were tested, the audience cheered again, applauding for this unknown archer!
