Li Yanqing stayed at home for three days and got drunk three times, but the third time was not really drunk, but his grandfather used the excuse of visiting his mother's grave and ran to Liwen Village with shamelessness. At this time, getting drunk became the best excuse, and he didn't have to deal with people he disliked.

On the fourth day, when Ding Man Wai grabbed his son-in-law Li Daqi and prepared to talk about his grandson's marriage, Li Yanqing had quietly left Li Wen Village and returned to Tangyin County.

Li Yanqing passed the imperial examination and was going to study at the Taixue School, which means that he is no longer a student in Tangyin County, but he is still Zhou Tong's apprentice. There are still a few months before the Taixue School registration, and he will use these months to practice riding and shooting skills.

The next morning, Li Yanqing appeared on the school ground on a horse. Zhou Tong was surprised and happy. He thought that Li Yanqing would no longer learn martial arts after winning Jie Yuan. Unexpectedly, Li Yanqing came still, which really made him feel deeply relieved.

Li Yanqing stepped forward and clasped his fists and said, "The disciple returned after seven days of time. Please punish him!"

Zhou Tong stroked his beard and smiled and said, "I haven't calculated the time. I forgot that you have to wait for the release of the title and go back to your hometown to thank the teacher for your mother. I don't blame you this time. I haven't touched the bow for forty days. How unfamiliar are you riding and shooting?"

"The students are not unfamiliar!"

Zhou Tong smiled and said, "It's not your words that you are unfamiliar with, but you have to try it out before you know."

He immediately ordered the two students and said, "Go and prepare the target to move and release the sparrow!"

Li Yanqing picked up a single stone and half bow and smiled: "The student is ready, please ask the master to give the question!"

Zhou Tong stroked his beard and smiled and said, "You can do it if you shoot the Thirteen Birds with a hundred steps?"

Returning to the archery field, Li Yanqing felt his energy full of energy, like a fish in water. He was full of energy and shouted: "Lao Gui, beat the drums to cheer me up!"

"Okay!"

Wang Gui picked up the drumstick, and the big drum sounded. Li Yanqing took a pot of arrows, and his legs activated the Aima Xuejian and ran towards the arrow field.

He needs to warm up for a while, shoot a few arrows to fix the target, and slowly regain his feelings.

......

Zhou Tong looked at Li Yanqing with great enthusiasm, but he was considering the professor's plan for the last few months.

According to the previous plan, Li Yanqing had to practice shooting skills after he came back, but Zhou Tong was ready to change his plan.

They had been learning marksmanship for several months before, but Li Yanqing always performed mediocrely and could only compete with Wang Gui and Tang Huai, but there was a lot of difference compared to Yue Fei.

Yue Fei's shooting skills were very impressive, far exceeding everyone's.

Although this is related to Li Yanqing's efforts to devote most of his energy to his studies, he plunged into his studies wholeheartedly after the afternoon practice, while Yue Fei practiced his gun until late at night every day.

Zhou Tong knew that things were not that simple. He had been practicing martial arts for decades, and had been practicing guns for a full ten years. He put in no less effort than archery, but his shooting skills were still far inferior to that of another imperial guards instructor Xu Ning, but his bronze bow and iron arrows were beyond the reach of Xu Ning.

This is called having a shortcoming and having a good point. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. For example, Yue Fei, Yue Fei has poor agility, his eyesight and reaction are even worse than Wang Gui. He also learned the worst of his riding and shooting among the four partners. It’s not that he doesn’t work hard, he works harder than anyone else, and he shoots the longest time every day, but he just can’t find the feeling and has limited talent, so there is nothing he can do about it.

But Yue Fei has a stubborn spirit that is difficult for ordinary people to reach. He will practice something to the death. This is exactly the quality that is most needed to practice marksmanship.

Practicing gun skills is extremely boring. One move often takes several months or even a year. Without Yue Fei's stubbornness that is difficult to reach, it is difficult to practice excellent gun skills.

This happened to be Li Yanqing's weakness. He is agile, good at improvisation, and has a unique talent for archery. This is the first time Zhou Tong encountered it, and he actually got out in half a year. Moreover, his riding and shooting skills are so high that many people may not be able to achieve even if they practice hard for a lifetime.

If he forced Li Yanqing to practice marksmanship like Yue Fei, it would be counterproductive. Not only would he not practice marksmanship well, but he would weaken his archery talent. This is the conclusion that Zhou Tong came to observe for a year.

Zhou Tong’s mastery of teaching disciples is here. He will cultivate each disciple in a targeted manner based on the strengths of each disciple so that each disciple can reach the extreme in a certain aspect.

If Li Yanqing left Zhou Tong with a regret, it was that Li Yanqing's strength was still slightly weak. If he could draw two stone bows, he could inherit his copper bow and iron arrow.

During this period when Li Yanqing was not here, Zhou Tong thought about it for a whole month. He finally decided to further explore Li Yanqing's archery talent in the next few months, and at the same time improve his strength and cultivate him into the world's number one archery technique.

As for marksmanship, unless Li Yanqing is willing to give up the imperial examination, he may still be able to reach his own level, otherwise he will only have an average marksmanship.

At this time, a student shouted: "Master, the county lord is here!"

Zhou Tong woke up from his thoughts. When he turned around, he saw Jiang Zhixian walking quickly with a few followers. Zhou Tong hurriedly stepped forward to greet him. Jiang Dadao laughed, "I'm disturbing Professor Zhou's disciple!"

Zhou Tong has been in class for more than half a year, and Jiang Zhixian has never been here, but today he came. Zhou Tong realized that Jiang Zhixian might have something important to look for him.

He smiled and said, "I happened to be assessing the students riding and shooting. The county lord might as well take a look together."

Jiang Zhixian was originally from a rank of a troop. When he heard that he was catching a horse and shooting test, he was immediately interested. He hurriedly walked up to take a closer look and saw that Li Yanqing, the new science and technology company, was shooting a fixed target.

He personally tested Li Yanqing's archery bow, but never saw Li Yanqing riding and shooting, so he asked curiously: "How is Li Jieyuan's riding and shooting level?"

Zhou Tong laughed in a low voice and said, "I can say something to the county lord in private. I think among the 800,000 imperial guards in Tokyo, Li Yanqing's riding and shooting level can completely enter the top ten."

Ah! Jiang Zhixian exclaimed, and he widened his eyes and looked at Li Yanqing in the field.

On the archery field, Li Yanqing rode back and forth for more than ten laps, shot two rounds of fixed targets, moving his shoulders and back and arms. This was extremely important for riding and shooting. He had already regained his feelings. At this time, the drum sound began to turn tight, which reminded him to send the target.

Li Yanqing's sharp eyes immediately shot towards the target area at the right 100 steps away. An arrow had been pulled out from the quiver behind his shoulder. This is the detail Zhou Tong taught him. Don't bite the arrow in his mouth, otherwise the arrow will not flow smoothly.

If you hold the bow with your left hand, the quiver will be on the back of your right shoulder. If you hold the bow with your right hand, the quiver will be on the back of your left shoulder. This way, you can take the arrows naturally and shoot arrows smoothly.

At this time, Li Yanqing was holding a bow in his right hand. He was placing an arrow on his bow and was still waiting for the target. At this time, two small black dots flew out. These were the two sparrows used as moving targets. A hundred steps away, they might not be able to see their eyes even if they were not good, but Li Yanqing could see clearly.

He was calm and pulled his bow like a full moon on the running war horse. He shot an arrow to the small bird to the west, but he didn't look at the result and pulled out another arrow and shot it out...

At this time, there was a loud cheer from the distance, and both arrows shot down the sparrows in the sky accurately, but the drum sound did not stop. Li Yanqing turned the horse's head, held the bow with his left hand, turned the quiver to his right shoulder, reached out to draw an arrow, and rode the horse again.

Seeing that Jiang Zhixian County had not said anything, Zhou Tong thought he had not seen the target, so he apologized: "After I knew the magistrate was coming, I would have put a bigger target. The two little birds were too small."

Jiang Dadao shook his head, "I have practiced archery, and I can see clearly that the two sparrows have very small targets, but Li Jieyuan can shoot arrows from a hundred steps away, which is a magical arrow!"

"He is indeed a genius. He has had the talent for archery since he was a child. He only learned riding and shooting for half a year. It is even more rare that he is both civil and military, and his articles are well written."

"Yes! I heard from Taiwei Tong that when the Song Dynasty was founded, there were many Jinshi who were good at riding and shooting. After more than a hundred years, Jinshi who could riding and shooting were basically no longer visible. There was only one Zongze in the past thirty years, but I didn't expect that one in Tangyin County would have even appeared."

Jiang Dadao was a little absent-minded. He had something important to ask Zhou Tong for help. Although Li Yanqing's archery was wonderful, Jiang Dadao's mind was not here.

At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on Li Yanqing, and the moving target in the arrow field appeared again. Seven sparrows suddenly flew out and flew out in the sky, at extremely fast speed.

But Li Yanqing's speed was faster. In less than sixty steps of running, Li Yanqing's continuous bead arrow shot seven arrows in a row. One arrow was as fast as one arrow. Before the seven sparrows could fly away, they all died and fell down the arrow.

Seven arrows were in succession, tying the highest record of master Zhou Tong's arrows. If it weren't for the magistrate Jiang Dadao standing next to him, Wang Gui, Tang Huai and others would have shouted.

The drums stopped suddenly, and there was a warm applause in the distance. Li Yanqing was a little surprised. The master asked the thirteen arrows, but why did he stop shooting only nine arrows? He looked back and saw an official standing on the side of the school field, pointing at this side. He recognized that this person was Jiang Zhixian County.

At this time, when Li Yanqing saw Zhou Tong wave to him, he hurriedly urged him to step forward, bow to Jiang Zhixian County, and then bowed to Zhou Ti and said, "Please teach me by your master!"

Zhou Tong had no smile on his face and said to him solemnly: "Although you can shoot seven arrows, your strength is still slightly inferior. If you have strong strength, your arrow speed will be faster and your range will be longer. You can go up to the next level. I hope you will strengthen your strength training from today and strive to be able to drive two stone bows as soon as possible."

"The students remember the teachings of the master."

Zhou Tong nodded and said to everyone: "Everyone will rest for a quarter of an hour first. County Jiang Zhixian has something to do with me, and then continue practicing."

After saying that, he said to Jiang Zhixian: "If you don't talk here, let's go to Mutai to talk."

Jiang Zhixian nodded. He did have an urgent matter to ask Zhou Tong for help. Jiang Zhixian didn't care about saying hello to Li Yanqing, so he walked towards the Mutai with Zhou Tong.

Walking to the edge of the wooden platform, County Magistrate Jiang said worriedly: "Taiwei Tong is coming!"

Zhou Tong was shocked, "Taiwei Tong is coming to Tangyin?"

"I didn't come to Tangyin specifically, I just passed by, but..."

Speaking of this, Jiang Zhixian looked at Zhou Tong strangely, "Didn't you hear any rumors about Teacher Zhou? The war may be about to start from the Song and Liao dynasties."

Zhou Tong was stunned and said for a while: "There is no news at all. The county is very peaceful. How could the war suddenly start?"

Jiang Zhixian smiled bitterly, "It's normal for you not to know. If I hadn't received a letter from Taiwei Tong, I wouldn't have known that a war would have happened. This matter is very secret, and there is no news in the capital. But in a few days, the news might have spread."

Zhou Tong nodded silently and asked again: "Then what can I do to help the magistrate?"

Jiang Zhixian said anxiously: "Taiwei Tong said in the letter that I have been in Tangyin for three years. He hopes that when he passes by Tangyin this time, he will see my political achievements. I asked the county magistrate and the county magistrate, but they didn't know what to do? Teacher Zhou thinks that Taiwei Tong is interested in what political achievements?"

Zhou Tong was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I don't have much contact with Taiwei Tong in the capital. I really don't know which aspects of Taiwei Tong's political achievements are interested in."

Because Zhou Tong was also sent to Tangyin County by Taiwei Tong, Jiang Zhixian thought that he could get some inspiration from Zhou Tong, but Zhou Tong knew nothing, which really disappointed him.
