Zhou Ting originally wanted to take more exams in the field of literature and Taoism, but the emperor seemed to have no interest in the field of literature and Taoism, so he proposed an immediate martial arts exam. Zhou Ting naturally did not dare to resist the order, so he could only say respectfully: "Return to the emperor, the martial arts exam has three items, and the competition was conducted for riding, archery and martial arts!"

He had prepared a few items for the Wencai, but before he could test it, the emperor refused. In the next Wucai exam, Zhou Ting no longer kept it in his mind, but directly told the content of the exam first, so that he could not take it as soon as possible, so the emperor refused to continue the exam.

"The martial arts of cavalry and shooting are the basic skills of martial arts." The emperor nodded and said, "I, the Qin Dynasty, established the country with martial arts, and martial arts cannot be abolished." Looking at Chu Huan, he asked, "Chu Huan, Zhou Nayan wants to evaluate you from the martial arts of cavalry and shooting, don't let me down."

Chu Huan immediately said: "The villain must do his best."

The emperor asked Zhou Ting: "How can I compare this horse riding?"

Zhou Ting said: "I have chosen a master of equestrianism, and his equestrianism is considered to be very clever!" He shouted loudly: "Where is Ma Yunwei?"

He fell behind, and soon a general in armor came out of the crowd, knelt down on the ground, and said respectfully: "Ma Zhongheng, the guards' Yunwei, pay homage to the emperor, the queen!"

When the emperor saw the general, he stroked his beard and said, "Ma Zhongheng? Well, I remember you, you are from Liaodong."

"I am from Jinzhou, Liaodong Road." Ma Zhongheng said respectfully.

The emperor smiled and said, "Liangdong Jinzhou is one of my eight major horse farms in the Qin Dynasty. You are from Jinzhou, so the equestrian will certainly not be bad." He looked at Zhou Ting and said, "Zhou Nayan, it seems that the test questions you gave Chu Huan today are more difficult."

Zhou Ting smiled and said, "The fire refines real gold, and the emperor takes the scholars. What he wants is a person with real talents and knowledge, and those who seek fame and reputation, how can he take on the great responsibility of the court?"

Chu Huan glanced at Ma Zhongheng. This man was not tall, but looked very energetic. He was wearing tiger armor and looked majestic. He was Yun Wei of the Guards, and he was one level higher than Wu Wei Gaoya who was defeated by his own move.

Since this person can become a member of the Royal Guards and is in charge of Yunwei, he naturally has a considerable ability under his command. He heard that this person was from Jinzhou, Liaodong, and Chu Huan looked surprised. He actually knew that the horses of the Great Qin Empire were divided into Liaodong horses, northwest horses and Jiangnan horses. Jiangnan horses were ignored and were just embroidered pillows. Although the Northwest horses were the main source of war horses in the Great Qin Empire, they were still slightly inferior to Liaodong horses.

However, the production of Liaodong horses is very small. There are only one Liaodong horse farm in Jinzhou, Liaodong Road. Moreover, most of the Liaodong horses are equipped with Liaodong iron cavalry under Chi Liandian. Not many of them flow into other places. The high-ranking officials and nobles are usually excited about having a top Liaodong horse.

This Ma Zhongheng comes from Jinzhou, Liaodong. With this alone, we can know that this person's equestrian skills are indeed extraordinary.

Zhou Ting pointed to a runway not far away, and everyone looked in his finger direction. He saw that there was a horse racing track there. Zhou Ting said, "Please look, there are two tables over there. After starting from the starting point, ride a horse to the other side of the table. Each table has half a bowl of water. You must pick up the water bowl on the table while bypassing the table, and then turn back to the starting point. Whoever can hit the red silk at the end first, and the water in the bowl has not splashed, will win."

Lin Yuanfang, Minister of Personnel, couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Zhou, what should I do if I hit the red silk first, but there is less water in the bowl?"

"Mr. Lin should have heard that two bowls of water are not full, but only half a bowl. If water can splash out from it like this, it will only be a lack of riding skills and a failure."

"What if both of them had water splashed out?"

"Then you will lose, and you will get a draw." Zhou Ting said immediately.

Zhou Ting's horse racing tricks immediately made many people look excited. This is not just riding a horse, but also having to play with some tricks, which makes it more interesting.

The emperor smiled and said, "Zhou Ting, your mind is full of tricks, but in this way, you can really show your riding skills."

The two horses prepared in advance had already led to the starting point of the runway. Chu Huan realized that Gao Ya, who hated him, was pointing at the side of the running field. The running field was actually arranged by him.

Chu Huan felt a tightness in his heart. Although he couldn't see anything strange at this time, when Gao Ya appeared on the other side of the running field, Chu Huan felt something was wrong.

He knew that in front of everyone, Gao Ya would naturally not dare to act rashly, nor would he dare to do anything to him openly, but since he appeared there, things were never simple, and he didn't know if he was doing something in secret.

The sun was shining, the flowers were fragrant in the imperial garden, the ministers were all wearing wide clothes and brocade robes, and the iron blood garden was full of nobleness. The palace maids and eunuchs had already raised the canopy. The emperor held the queen's hand and moved to the side of the running field openly. Although someone brought a chair immediately, the emperor did not sit down, but put one hand on his waist, and between the ministers. Although he was old, he still had the power of the emperor.

Chu Huan and Ma Zhongheng have both reached the starting point of the running field. The two horses are white and black. It is really clear. Zhou Ting has already said: "This is a Liaodong horse. Its feet are similar, and it is not the same. For fairness, you two draw lots to decide the horse!"

Chu Huan initially wondered whether Gao Ya would tamper with the horse, but after hearing what Zhou Ting said, he felt relieved.

When the horse was drawn, no one knew which horse belonged to Chu Huan in advance, so Gao Ya naturally could not do anything.

Zhou Ting took the paper and pen, wrote "black" and "white" on two pieces of paper in front of everyone, then pinched it into a small piece of paper, held it in the palm of his hand, then walked over, spread his hands, and signaled the two to pick up the piece of paper. Ma Zhongheng was very graceful and laughed at Chu Huan: "You come first!"

Chu Huan bowed and knew that there was nothing to be humble about this. She took a piece of paper and Ma Zhongheng took another piece. The two opened it and saw that Chu Huan was "white" and Ma Zhongheng was "black". The process of setting the horse was very fair and just. Chu Huan was cautious and very careful, and there was no trick in determining the horse was determined.

He knew that today's win and loss were not only related to his future, but also to the emperor's face. Although the emperor has been calm until now, Chu Huan has not seen his angry side, but Chu Huan understands one truth. When the emperor gets angry, he has countless heads. He has heard of many deeds of His Majesty the Emperor killing ministers before. He knows that if this iron-blooded emperor really wants to get angry, he will definitely be cruel and ruthless.

If he cannot pass the martial arts exam today, if the emperor loses his face and the emperor's face is damaged, Chu Huan cannot guess how His Majesty the Emperor will treat him.

Today's assessment is both an opportunity and a danger.

All you have to do is to do is to pass the level with all your strength.

After setting up the horse, Chu Huan walked to the white horse. The Liaodong horse was taller than the northwest horse, and it was much stronger and had excellent endurance. Chu Huan had heard of horse racing before, so he was worried about horse problems, and was afraid that someone would interfere with it. He gave himself a Liaodong horse and Ma Zhongheng a northwest horse.

Although the Northwest Horse is slightly inferior to the Liaodong Horse, it does not mean that the Northwest Horse is completely lost to the Liaodong Horse.

Compared with the Northwest Horse, the biggest advantage of Liaodong horses is that their endurance is stronger than that of the Northwest Horses, but they do not have the upper hand in explosive power.

Within one thousand meters, the Northwest Horse will never lose to the Liaodong Horse. If the two horses can advance together after more than one thousand meters, but if the Northwest Horse is more than three thousand meters, the Northwest Horse will lag behind the Liaodong Horse.

The long-range raiding ability of Liaodong horses is far stronger than that of Northwest horses, but short-distance sprints are not the opponents of Northwest horses.

Fortunately, both of them are now Liaodong horses. They look roughly the same size and come out of the same species. This is more high and low, so they can only look at their respective equestrians.

In the eyes of everyone, both of them were turning on horses, and the strong horses were sniffing and digging soil under their feet. It seemed that even they felt that there was a very exciting game to be held.

Chu Huan glanced at the King of Qi and saw that the King of Qi was staring at him and clenched his fists at him. Chu Huan knew that the fist was not about beating him, but about cheering him up. Instead, the cold gaze next to him made Chu Huan feel cautious. It was not Ma Zhongheng's gaze, but about Gao Ya who was standing on the side of the runway not far away.

Chu Huan looked at Gao Ya casually and saw that the expression in Gao Ya's eyes seemed to be trying to eat people, but there was a strange smile on the corner of his mouth.

After Chu Huan entered the Iron Blood Garden to see Gao Ya, Gao Ya kept looking at him like a ghost, and then she showed a strange smile again. Chu Huan knew that there was a lot of articles.

But at this moment he couldn't see anything wrong, but he was thinking in his heart: "The soldiers come to block the generals, and the water comes to cover the soil, will he be afraid that the defeated generals will not succeed?"

Chu Huan is a very strange person. If you respect him one foot, he will respect you one foot. But if you slap him, he will definitely return you three slaps. Gao Ya looked at him coldly. Chu Huan had no good expression on him, and his eyes were retracted from him disdain, which made Gao Ya even more annoyed, and he thought to himself: "Don't be proud of me now, you will know that I am powerful later."

Zhou Ting nodded to a person not far away, and the man whispered: "Prepare!"

Ma Zhongheng and Chu Huan immediately became energetic. Chu Huan knew that Ma Zhongheng was not easy to deal with, but Ma Zhongheng did not underestimate Chu Huan. Being able to participate in the assessment in the Iron Blood Garden was naturally not an ordinary character. Ma Zhongheng was very prepared and held the reins tightly. Ma Zhongheng glanced at Gao Ya there. After the two of them met, they did not stop and missed it immediately.

With a sound of gong, as soon as the gong fell, Ma Zhongheng lifted the reins of the horse and jumped out. A black shadow flashed, but he was already ahead. He jumped out with his horse, his hooves rising up, and his robes quickly. The starting position was also cool.

Chu Huan did not lift the reins, but just shook his legs gently and knocked his horse's belly. The white horse ran out like white light. Compared to Ma Zhongheng's leaping out, it seemed much lower-key. His posture was not so cool, and his aura seemed to be a little shorter.

Ma Zhongheng robs quickly and seems to be very casual when he takes off his horse, but his dark horse jumps forward and jumps out. The horse jumps high, but instead delays a little time. Although Chu Huan takes off a little slower, he comes out just in moderation. When Ma Zhongheng's dark horse falls down, the difference between the time when the two sides starts has been pulled back, and they are still moving forward in unison and sprinting forward.

From this moment on, the two people's personalities showed a difference. Ma Zhongheng was good at equestrianism. He was superb in equestrianism. He was striving to pursue speed while also being able to move freely and imposing momentum. However, there was a hint of showing off in his strength. Chu Huan was down-to-earth and not pursuing the beauty and elegance of the surface, but pursued the most effective and practical.

Ma Zhongheng was superb in equestrianism, but Chu Huan's equestrianism was really not weak. The two of them advanced together, and the horse was like the wind. The people watching on both sides seemed to see two arrows that were riding the strings.
