Chapter 67 Get out of here!
Lin Gang took the initiative to admit defeat and gave up the last riding and shooting competition. After Li Zhijin's approval, he climbed to the point to declare in public that his skills were not as good as others, and praised Li Xu as the person with the strongest martial arts skills and the most exquisite shooting skills he had ever seen in his life.
This result surprised and lost the onlookers. Most of them looked complicated and said nothing. After all, Lin Gang was an idol in many people before, and many soldiers regarded Lin Gang as their target of chasing.
But I didn't expect that my idol was completely defeated by a 16-year-old boy who was just here to take the martial arts exam, and he also admitted that his skills were not as good as others, which made many people feel that their beliefs collapsed.
However, the group of tap watermen won by Li Xu with his outstanding performance cheered, and the reactions of the two groups formed a sharp contrast.
Faced with Lin Gang's praise, Li Xu stood below with a calm face, without any smug expression, which made Li Zhijin, who had been observing him, even more of a comment of "no surprise when he was fond of favor and disgrace".
After Lin Gang stepped down, Li Xu thought it would be over, but Li Zhijin named him and asked him to show the soldiers the ability to ride and shoot, so that everyone could more comprehensively appreciate the style of the young hero so respected by Captain Lin.
Li Xu looked up at Li Zhijin and found that he looked at him with a smile on his face. He didn't know what idea he had in his mind. After thinking about it, he agreed.
According to Li Xu's instructions, the soldiers placed a total of twenty straw targets on the school ground, which were arranged irregularly, but the distance between the targets was very long, and they were about fifty or sixty steps apart.
After the target was erected, Lin Gang sent his arch to Li Xu for use, and Li Zhijin also asked someone to lend him one of his yellow horses to Li Xu.
Compared with the step bow, the ride is smaller and lighter. Because it is difficult to put on the horse, and it is not convenient to have too long step bows. Therefore, it is necessary to use a lighter, shorter and more convenient ride bow for use when riding. Of course, the range of the ride bow is much shorter than that of the step bow, and the penetration power is much weaker than that of the step bow.
Lin Gang was not strong enough, but he was not as good as Li Xu, so Li Xu felt a little soft when he used his bow.
But there is no way, this is already the hardest riding bow among the state army.
Although Li Zhijin's yellow horse is not a famous horse, it is definitely a good horse. It is tall and long legs, has developed muscles, beautiful lines and bright fur. She looked at Li Xu with big eyes and actually leaned her head and rubbed it in Li Xu's arms, as if expressing her recognition of Li Xu.
Many people watched this scene, because everyone knew that although Li Duwei's yellow horse was a good horse, he was arrogant. No one recognized him except Li Duwei and the groom who feeds it every day. Those who want to touch it will be kicked without exception. Over time, everyone knew that this horse could not afford to offend him.
Who would have thought that such a good horse that could not afford to offend him would be so close and trustful to Li Xu who had just met, which is really unbelievable.
Even the master Li Zhijin's eyes were full of brilliant colors, and he looked at Li Xu with his eyes flashing. I wonder what he was thinking.
Li Xu touched the yellow horse, attached it to its ear and whispered a few words, then quickly turned over the horse, carried a quiver, and rode a bow. He rode his horse with an extremely skillful horse slowly accelerated towards the straw target array.
I saw him galloping in the straw target array, shooting arrows in various postures, sometimes leaning back, sometimes pounced forward, and sometimes hiding on both sides of the war horses, using all kinds of flowers, dazzling everyone and cheering.
Although Lin Gang had given up the competition, riding and shooting, he still admired Li Xu's performance after seeing him with his own eyes. Fortunately, he gave up the competition in advance and retained the last bit of face.
Soon, Li Xu rode his horse back to the spot, jumped off his war horse, returned the bow to Lin Gang, and whispered a few words to Huang Piaoma, asking Li Zhijin's groom to take him away.
Huang Piaoma even looked back at Li Xu, and then he reluctantly followed the groom back to the stable.
The soldiers quickly finished counting the results of Li Xu's previous Tianxiu operation. There were 20 straw targets shot by Li Xu, fifteen of which were shot on the head of the straw target.
This result made everyone open their mouths and look at Li Xu as if they were looking at a monster.
...
Li Zhijin ordered the onlookers to return to his barracks, and then took Li Xu and Lin Gang back to his tent.
He was the chief lieutenant. Although he was in charge of the state soldiers, he usually had to take on some responsibilities in the prefectural yamen, so there was still another house in Yaozhou City.
The Grand Priest's Office is just his office in the state army.
The three of them entered the tent. Li Zhijin asked someone to bring a short stool to let Li Xu and Lin Gang sit down. As soon as they were about to speak, they heard a noisy outside the tent.
Li Zhijin frowned and asked what happened to the personal military officers on duty at the door. The military marquis came in and reported that there were a group of state generals coming from outside, including several school lieutenants who were on par with Lin Gang, as well as more than a dozen military marquis and town chiefs, all of whom were the mainstays in the state army.
These people came to ask to see the Duwei, saying that there was an important situation to report.
The personal military officers and Marquis received the order from Li Zhijin, so they did not allow them to go in, and the two sides started arguing.
Li Zhijin asked someone to put all the officers and generals in, and first they cursed them all, and the officers all lowered their heads and looked humbly and knew that they were wrong.
Looking at these old fry, Li Zhijin no longer had the interest in cursing people. He asked them with a stern face if they had any important things. If they dare to fool the main general, they would all be pulled out to beat the board.
As a result, after asking, I found out that all these guys came to Li Zhijin to ask for someone.
Who do you want?
Of course, Li Xu is what I want.
Although Li Xu's performance today made Lin Gang, a brave general in the army, become a former idol, he himself became a new generation of military idols.
Ordinary soldiers regard him as the object of worship, and soldiers with pursuit regard him as a role model to catch up, but these officers regard him as a treasure and want to pull him to their subordinates.
No one who leads troops doesn’t like a powerful general like Li Xu.
With such a subordinate, when he really fights, he doesn't have to worry about charging in battle. Moreover, he has made contributions and will benefit from it. Progressing step by step is not a dream.
Who doesn’t like such a subordinate?
After figuring out the purpose of these people, Li Zhijin's face suddenly turned dark.
Why? Because he, the leader, had the same idea as them, and before he could speak, these shameless people wanted to intercept him. Even if his face turned white, he would have to turn black.
Li Zhijin pointed at the door of the tent with a cold face and spit out four words, and all of them left in shame.
"Get out of here!"
Then after all these people left, Li Zhijin's black face turned white in an instant, and he looked at Li Xu with a smile, with a very pleasant look. He could not tell that the person with a dark face with the King of Hell was him.
"Brother Li, do you want to join the state army? As long as you open a golden mouth, I will immediately make a seat as a military marquis for you."
