Chapter 136: The Barracks Shows Its Power (2)
Yue Fei held a big crossbow in his hand. He had just stood up and sat down when he heard the newsman's words. He was deeply disappointed and his chance was deprived. Zhou Tong walked up and patted his shoulder, comforting him and said, "Martial Arts is the time for you to perform, not now!"
Yue Fei nodded silently. The master was right. There was still one month left to take the martial arts examination. He had to cheer up and strive to pass the martial arts examination.
At this time, Li Yanqing had already turned over the horse, and the blades of armor rustled on him. He carried a bronze bow in his hand and urged the horse to run towards the archery field. When he rushed into the archery field like an arrow, the soldiers watching the battle on both sides suddenly burst into screams, and the generals in the stands stood up one after another, and a stolen sound was heard. Everyone's faces showed shock, which turned out to be a copper bow and iron arrow.
Tong Guan's eyes also narrowed. It seemed that this person was Zhou Tong's beloved disciple, and he actually passed the copper bow and iron arrow to him.
The copper bow and iron arrow are not something that can be used with two arms. The strength is only a basic premise. There are also superb archery skills, especially the balance control technique of iron arrows. It is the secret of Zhou Tong's uniqueness in the world. None of his many disciples learned this skill. In his later years, Zhou Ti finally passed it to Li Yanqing of Tangyin County.
Ten years ago, when Zhou Tong used copper bow and iron arrows in the imperial guard camp in the capital for the first time, he shocked hundreds of thousands of imperial guards. He also took the seat of the coach in the "Tian". Ten years later, when Li Yanqing appeared in the military camp with his copper bow and iron arrows again, the entire military camp was in full swing.
Zhou Tong stood by the side of the curtain and watched Li Yanqing running on the field, with a smile on his lips. This silly boy always thought that the copper bow and iron arrow were ordinary archery techniques. He did not know that he was famous all over the world because of this arch. He was the second person in the world who could use such arches besides himself.
Li Yanqing also felt the shock of the soldiers around him, and he also felt a little pressure. It was extremely difficult to practice the copper bow and iron arrows, especially the balance of the iron arrows was extremely subtle. You must have superb archery talent to find that sense of balance. He has only been able to use it for three days, and it depends on whether he can succeed today.
At this time, the drum sounded faster. When the arrow was released, Li Yanqing drew out the first iron arrow, held the bow with his left hand and the right hand, and pulled the bow like a full moon while the horse ran. He pressed the bow head with a slightly lighter force of three points. When the string was loosened, he heard a string sound. Before the sound disappeared, the arrow had arrived. One arrow shot the wooden man a hundred and twenty steps away. The arrow was right in the middle of the eyebrows, and the arrow was powerful. The tip of the arrow came out of the back of the head and actually shot through the puppet head. This was the power of the copper bow and iron arrow, which could break stones and penetrate gold.
Tens of thousands of soldiers watching the war were cheering everywhere, and warm applause also sounded from the stands. Everyone in the military camp was aware of the power of the arrow. They knew very well that the arrow was powered by the hundreds of steps, which meant that the shields and armor could not block the arrow. Only the famous divine arm crossbow of the Song Dynasty could compete with it.
At this time, Li Yanqing had turned his horse's head and put his bow in his right hand. As the horse ran, he swung his shoulder gently. The quiver reached his left shoulder. He pulled out the second iron arrow with his left hand, put the bow string on, and suddenly pulled the bow full, squinted his eyes and looked at the wooden man's throat. He shot an arrow, and the string sounded, and the iron arrow shot through the puppet's throat again.
The cheers of tens of thousands of soldiers around him did not stop, and waves were higher and higher. The young scholar's unique skills of shooting left and right made all the generals in the stands amazed. When they found that the archer had a third arrow, everyone stood up and held their breath, and the archery field became silent.
Even Zhou Tong's heart was raised to his throat. The third arrow was to shoot the moving target, which was also the key to whether Li Yanqing truly mastered the copper bow and iron arrow.
At this time, an oriole bird flew out from a corner of the archery field and flew over the archery field. Everyone had not realized that this oriole bird was the third target. They were still looking around, looking for the target that Li Yanqing was about to shoot. It was not until Li Yanqing began to chase the oriole bird that they woke up as if they were dreaming and at the same time they exclaimed a long amazement.
Confused, shocked, and expectant. Countless pairs of eyes followed Li Yanqing tightly, paying attention to his every move. The war horse chased the yellow bird. Li Yanqing turned around suddenly, half lying on the horse's back, and shot out a full bow. This arrow was like a meteor rushing to the moon, hitting the yellow bird in the air.
The yellow bird in the air suddenly realized something was wrong and was about to turn around, but it was too late. "Bang!" The feathers splashed everywhere, and the yellow bird was shot through the body by an arrow. The iron arrow flew more than ten feet away before falling from the air. A group of soldiers below dodged one after another.
At this time, a soldier ran into the stadium with an iron arrow. The iron arrow was wearing the yellow bird that had just passed. Li Yanqing put away his bronze bow and bowed his fists to the soldiers around him. Earth-shaking cheers suddenly sounded around him. The generals in the stands applauded warmly. The young scholar allowed them to see a wonderful archery performance.
Even Tong Guan smiled and stroked his beard and nodded. Although Li Yanqing's magic arrow praised him, he was more interested in Li Yanqing's identity. This year's Xiangzhou test first name Jie Yuan.
"Who is his parents?" Tong Guan asked in a low voice.
Jiang Dadao understood what the Taiwei meant and hurriedly said, "He came from a poor family!"
Tong Guan nodded slightly. It seemed that he had real talent and knowledge, not the Jie Yuan he bought. Li Yanqing came from a poor family and was just right for him. He couldn't help but think in his heart, "This is better, a piece of white paper is just right for him to paint."
Li Yanqing turned over and dismounted and was led to the stand by a soldier. However, he did not kneel down, but bowed and performed a scholar's ceremony, "Student Li Yanqing met Taiwei Tong."
Jiang Dadao quickly explained to the generals that this is the new science and technology trial in Xiangzhou this year. The generals suddenly realized and nodded repeatedly. It turned out that he was the first place in the juren, but he was both civil and military, which was rare!
Tong Guan nodded and smiled, "Li Shaolang's magical arrow is amazing, and he deserves Zhou Tong's true teachings. Shaolang should not be very old, right?"
"Students turn thirteen next month!"
The generals in the stands looked at each other in a glance. It turned out that they were still a teenager, and they were so amazing at such a young age. The future was limitless!
Tong Guan stroked his beard and asked with a smile: "Since Li Shaolang has learned about Yuan in the exam, he doesn't know what plans are for the next step?"
This is an obvious hint. Generally, smart people will answer, "I haven't decided yet, I hope the Grand Marshal will support you!",
Everyone also heard the meaning of the Taiwei. If the Taiwei took a fancy to this young man, he would probably take him to the tent to cultivate carefully. Many people secretly envied that this young man had a great fortune.
Even Jiang Dadao was stunned for a moment, and a hint of jealousy suddenly arose in his heart. The Taiwei had never looked at him like this.
Of course, Li Yanqing understood Tong Guan's hint. Although he had his own plan and did not want to join the army, he also knew that this was a rare opportunity. If he could seize this opportunity, it would be possible that by the time of Jingkang, he would be able to command an army, and at that time he also had the capital to change history.
Li Yanqing hesitated for a moment and said, "The student is willing to follow the advice of the Grand Marshal!"
The generals around were all old fry, and they secretly praised them. The young man's answer was clever, which not only gave him enough face, but also left room for advice. He could listen but not listen. He was only thirteen years old and could speak like this.
However, when everyone thought that this young man was Jie Yuan, they felt relieved. Being able to stand out among thousands of scholars is of course better than ordinary people.
Tong Guan liked it even more. This was a smart boy, neither humble nor arrogant, maintaining dignity, and at the same time he was flexible and flexible, not pedantic, which was very suitable for his appetite. He pondered for a moment: "I must be fifteen years old in the Song Dynasty to be able to get a Jinshi. This is a prescribed by Taizong. Unless the emperor speaks, you cannot make an exception. But you can go to Taixue. I think you should have the same plan, right?"
"Students are exactly this plan. According to regulations, students can directly read the inner room."
Tong Guan shook his head, "It's a pity to read the inner sect with your talent, you should read the upper sect."
"Although the students also want to do so, the rules are so!"
Tong Guan laughed, "This is just a provision for ordinary people, but there are other preferential treatments for the powerful and noble royal relatives. I happen to have a place to go. I will recommend you to go to the place to go. What do you think?"
Everyone looked at each other. Everyone thought that the Taiwei would leave the young man under the tent and be a clerk, but they didn't expect that the Taiwei actually recommended him to study at the Taixue. This is to be a civil servant! The Taiwei actually wants to give up this talent?
Only Jiang Dadao understands one or two of them. Li Yanqing was really attracted by the Taiwei.
Tong Guan was some of his confidants in the army, but he was too weak in the court. Like Li Yanqing, who was both very skilled in martial arts and outstanding in literary talent, there was only one Zong Ze so far.
Unfortunately, Zong Ze is too old and difficult to cultivate, and Li Yanqing is a rare good seedling. How could Tong Guan let go? He trains it well. Ten years later, he will become his own power in the court.
Tong Guan proposed that he would recommend Li Yanqing to join the Shangshe, of course, it was profound. The court stipulated that the quota of Taixue could only be given to the direct children of the powerful, but Tong Guan had no descendants, so he could give to his disciples. Once Li Yanqing agreed, he would be Tong Guan's disciple.
Li Yanqing thought that the Jingkang disaster would happen ten years later. If he did not take the shortcut, he would still be careless and make no achievements ten years later.
Although he also knew the difficulty of changing history, he also wanted to do his best to move the trajectory of the historical ship. He had to rely on external forces and be supported by power. Although Tong Guan was also one of the six thieves in the late Northern Song Dynasty, it did not prevent him from becoming his stepping stone.
