Chapter 232 Bow Horse Competition (9)

Everyone stopped joking, Li Yanqing quickly got up and greeted, "I am Li Yanqing, you are."

"In Xia Huarong."

Wang Gui suddenly shouted in surprise: "Little Li Guanghua Rong!"

Everyone was moved. Hua Rong was the first in the list of archery and horse competitions, and he actually met him here.

Hua Rong quickly said modestly: "If you are too rewarded, it is all exaggerated words from colleagues. Hua Rong really can't bear the word "Li Guang". If you talk about archery skills, Li Shaojun is not inferior."

Li Yanqing was also quite surprised. He heard from his master that the number one master of cavalry and shooting in the imperial guards was Hua Rong. Although he was only a low-level officer, he was very famous among the imperial guards.

Of course, Hua Rong did not go to Liangshan. He never had the chance to stand out in the decadent army in the late Northern Song Dynasty and disappeared into the tide of history.

Li Yanqing smiled slightly, "I am only ranked 47th. I am eleven points short of Brother Hua. How can I compare with Brother Hua?"

Hua Rong shook his head, "I know in my mind that Li Shaojun's second arrow was deliberately shot low today, so he removed five points. In addition, how could Zhou Tong's disciple not shoot the left and right? This eliminated eight points. If these two items are added, the first place today should be Li Shaojun."

Everyone was shocked. Yue Fei and Tang Huai had not seen Li Yanqing shoot archery before, but Li Yanqing himself kept silent. They didn't know that Li Yanqing was deliberately letting go today.

Li Yanqing said lightly: "Many things are not what Brother Hua thought. The second arrow was because of my sweat on my hands, which affected my performance. It was not that I deliberately reduced points. As for shooting left and right, I would do it, but my horse skills are not good and I cannot draw the left and right in the same direction."

Although Li Yanqing was serious, Hua Rong did not believe it. If there was sweat on his hands, the third arrow would not be affected at all. If the horse skills were not good, it would be even more nonsense. The horse-backed iron-bank bridge is the basic skill of riding and shooting. If you can control the horse with both legs to shoot arrows calmly, how could you not have the iron-bank bridge?

However, since Li Yanqing refused to admit it, it means that he also had his own ideas, or had any hidden secrets. Hua Rong could not be smart enough to force others to admit it. Moreover, he came here just to get to know Li Yanqing.

Hua Rong poured a glass of wine for Li Yanqing, picked up his glass and smiled: "It's a coincidence that I met Li Shaojun at Yuxian Restaurant. I borrowed the lottery of this restaurant. I would like toast Li Shaojun with a glass, hoping to see Li Shaojun's real arrow skills tomorrow!"

Two people drank a glass of wine and drank it all in one go.

Li Yanqing bowed again and said, "If Yanqing's archery skills are inadequate, please give me more advice."

"The lack of your weakness is that you don't use a copper bow and iron arrow!"

Hua Rong laughed loudly, bowed to everyone, turned around and left.

Wang Gui sighed: "It is worthy of being the first arrow of the imperial guards. This kind of chic demeanor is impressive!"

Tang Huai shook his head, "This is not a demeanor. He has always been arrogant and arrogant. He ranked first in the last archery and horse competition, but he was just a horse army leader. If he hadn't been too proud and offensive, he wouldn't have been doing so badly."

"How old is he?" Li Yanqing suddenly asked,

"About twenty-five or twenty-six years old!"

Li Yanqing nodded secretly. He was only in his early thirties at the time of Jingkang and had the opportunity to serve the country.

At this time, Niu Gao, who had been relatively silent, said: "If I had known this, I would have bet on Lao Li, and maybe I could make a fortune."

"That's it! Why do you have to hide it?" Wang Gui looked at Li Yanqing complainingly, as if it was Li Yanqing's fault that he did not seize this opportunity to make money.

"Fifth Brother, I remember you seem to bet, right?" Tang Huai said to Yue Fei in confusion.

Yue Fei nodded, "I made a hundred bets and bet all my money on Lao Li."

The process of riding and shooting rematch is exactly the same as the preliminary round, but it is a little more strict. For example, the bow inspection is cross-checked by three people. This is also because only two hundred riders participated in the re-test, and the time is relatively calm. It is not like yesterday. Thirty people were asked to enter the field at one time, but two hundred people lined up, with five people entering the field each time.

There are more people watching around today. The civilians in Bianjing, the soldiers of the imperial guards and the archer warriors who were completely eliminated yesterday. Nearly 40,000 people surrounded the colonel field. Li Yanqing drew No. 84, which is auspicious. The army is dubbed "Immortal" according to his homophonic sound. What's more coincidental is that No. 81 in front of him is He Guan, with only two people separated, which means they will play in the same group.

Today, Li Yanqing was still dressed like yesterday, wearing a blue samurai uniform, long leather boots, a scholar's scarf, and still holding his leopard-head bow and a big feathered arrow on his back. Everyone was silently waiting for the entrance. No one spoke. From the constant cheers and cheers, he knew that the arrow warriors performed well, and everyone felt an invisible pressure.

At this time, Hua Rong's results came out, and it was still the same as yesterday, with 95 points and performing quite stably. Although Hua Rong's pride is displeasing, everyone has to admit that this year it is likely that Hua Rong will still be the first.

The team slowly shrank, and Li Yanqing finally arrived at the entrance. At this time, the red flag waved and entered the waiting area from 81 to 85. At the same time, three examiners tested their bows. After a moment, He Guan looked back at Li Yanqing. He turned over and urged the horse to run towards the field. The stadium was filled with joy. He rose to the seventh place yesterday, and today he became the focus of attention.

‘Dang!’ The bell rang out, He Guan ran out, and shot the left eye of the puppet target with an arrow. There was a sudden cheer from all around him.

After running dozens of steps, He Guan suddenly stopped being on the horse. He shot an arrow from under the horse's belly, which was also in the middle of the face. When he reached the third arrow, he changed to a bow in his left hand, and suddenly let the war horse turn a circle in place, giving him the chance to shoot the bow with his left hand, and hit the cheek accurately with one arrow.

Li Yanqing quickly gave him a score of about 92 points. If it were not for the status of the Xiang army, the score would be higher. Everyone knew in their hearts that five points were the pure preferences of the judges. The positions of each army were different, and the scores would also be different. Generally, the imperial guards in the capital had the highest status, followed by martial arts, then local imperial guards, followed by Xiang army, and finally local rural soldiers. As for the Imperial Academy, the status is hard to say, whether high or low, which is related to political struggle.

Both Li Yanqing had already finished ejaculation, and the next one was Li Yanqing's appearance. Gao Shen looked at Li Yanqing's information and was in a very complicated mood. Early this morning, Tong Guan sent someone to give instructions, "The Imperial College should be above the army." The implication is that not only do not allow the Imperial College points to be suppressed, but also must be extra points. Currently, Li Yanqing is the only one left in Tai students. Isn't this a hint to give Li Yanqing extra points?

What made Gaoshen even more incredible was that Liang Shicheng also sent someone to send a note, with only six words, "Writing is the word, and martial arts is the word."

This sentence is like a riddle, but Gaoshen still guessed what Liang Shicheng meant, and he should not let the Taixue occupy a high position, referring to Li Yanqing. Two completely opposite instructions made Gaoshen not know what to do. He could not afford to offend both powerful people, but what puzzled him was that both of them seemed to pay close attention to Li Yanqing. What was the reason?

"Brother Gao, the time is up!" Cao Yu next to him carefully reminded him.

Gao Shen nodded and said, "Let's start!"

The bell rang in the stands, ‘don’

Li Yanqing clamped his horse with his legs and shouted "Hold!" The war horses soared out like arrows and rushed towards the white line runway. Today, Li Yanqing did not let the water go. He will play his true level. He pulled the bow like a full moon, shooting an arrow in the running.

The arrow shot very early, and it almost came out as soon as he got on the runway, but he did not shoot the first target. The arrow shot the forehead of a puppet target in the middle from the right side.

The audience around was in an uproar. What's going on? Did you see the wrong target? But according to the rules, Li Yanqing did not foul. The rules were clearly written, "Three targets can be shot at any time," which means that they can shoot no matter which target they shoot.

But generally arrow warriors will not choose this way, because this means the distance. If Li Yanqing shoots the first target in a straight line, the distance is 100 steps and the second target in an oblique line, the distance becomes 150 steps. The gap is too big, and no one dares to take this risk.

After a moment of shock, the cheers around him rang out like thunder. Only then did everyone realize that the arrow warrior actually shot his eyebrows at a 150-step outside. What a clever archery technique.

Li Yanqing continued to gallop on his horse, running for seventy steps, and in a straight line with the second puppet target. He suddenly disappeared from the horse's back and shot a second arrow from under the horse's belly. This arrow was also accurate in the eyebrows and was side by side with the first arrow.

There was a sudden silence around. Everyone seemed to understand something. Everyone held their breath and was waiting to see his third arrow.

When the war horse was about to run out of the track, Li Yanqing suddenly hung back, his upper body hung on the side of the horse. He had changed to a left hand and held a bow and shot out again. At a distance of 160 steps, the third arrow shot towards the second puppet target like lightning, accurately hitting the middle of the eyebrows from the left side. The three arrows were neatly shot on the middle of the eyebrows, like a word "claw".

Li Yanqing rode his horse out of the track and was silent for a long time. The applause and cheers around him rang like a tsunami. This wonderful riding and shooting far surpassed the riding and shooting of the first place Hua Rong, and it was simply impeccable.

The senior military officials in the stands applauded. In fact, many people knew Li Yanqing. Isn’t the young man who showed great power in Tangyin County last year the young man?

Some of the ten judges gave 18 points, some gave 19 points, and some even gave 20 full marks. According to the rules, if the judges' scores are not uniform, the scores of the judges are mainly based on the scores of the judges.

Everyone seemed to Gaoshen. Gaoshen hesitated for a long time. He had to consider Liang Shicheng's attitude and finally gave fifteen points, because the third arrow was too late. When five points were deducted, the final total score was 95, and he was tied with Hua Rong, and a boo suddenly rang around him.

"Shameless! Shameless!" The audience angrily condemned the judges, and almost half of them left in anger to protest.

Not only the audience, but other judges all looked at Gaoshen with dissatisfaction. Everyone knows that this student should give at least 98 points, Gaoshen is obviously deliberately suppressing the points.
