Crown Jewels

Chapter 203

Song Yan raised his eyelids, his eyes fell on the equally strong black horse chosen by the burly man, and raised his eyebrows to signal him.

"This black horse's fur is pure and shiny, and your eyesight is also very good!"

Hearing Song Yan's words of approval, the burly man's face trembled, but he laughed heartily.The two best horses in the stables have already been selected by Song Yan and the burly man, and the rest of them can only choose generals from among the dwarfs.

The sound of the gong beating sounded, and almost instantly, Song Yan and the burly man beside him got on their horses. Song Yan stepped on the stirrups tightly, holding the reins firmly in his hands, and his eyes fell on the archery target in the middle of the racecourse. .

The first item of the Martial Arts Examination is to examine the horse-mounted arrow technique. You need to ride a fast horse and gallop for three weeks. Song Yan raises the whip, and the left and right hands switch the reins while the horse is galloping. He tried his best to keep his balance, and his eyes closely followed the red dot on the target.

Finally, the young man bent his bow and drew the arrow. Almost at the moment when his arms were rounded, the sound of sharp arrow feathers pierced through the barrier formed by the wind, stably piercing into the red spot on the target. He was riding a black horse beside him, keeping pace with the young man. The burly man was swinging his arms, and the center of the target circle with his eyes was aimed at, but someone had already taken the lead.

The burly man was stunned for a moment, thinking it was the wind that captivated his fireworks, he quickly put down the bow and arrow in his right hand, and rubbed it casually with his cuff, knowing that the bay red horse with a young man on his back was passing in front of him like a gust of wind, the burly man hurriedly Throwing down his sleeves, he suddenly picked up the bow and arrow and shot towards the target again.

The rules of martial arts, the horse-mounted arrow method, needs to be shot while the horse is galloping to the target. There are nine arrows in total, and at least three arrows can be shot into the target to be considered qualified and eligible to participate in the next competition.

Song Yan had a clear goal, and never let go of the nine arrows in the quiver. When the bay red horse was galloping in the last half circle, he swung his arms again and shot the last arrow in his hand into the bull's-eye.

The yamen servants who counted the archery targets, and even the martial arts examiners who watched the whole process, looked at the young man who turned over quickly from the horseback, with approval in their eyes.

In previous martial arts, it was not impossible for no one to achieve such a wonderful performance, but Song Yan was able to not only reach such a height, but was actually the youngest among the previous martial arts participants.

At such an age, with such an outstretched hand, the high-spirited appearance on the racecourse can't help but make their blood boil, and they wish they could get on the horse at this moment, and gallop two laps wantonly.

Song Yan simply nodded towards the official direction of the Martial Arts Examination, and after obtaining approval, he simply adjusted, and then went straight to the northeast corner of the racecourse without too much stagnation, took the arrow handed over by the yamen servant, and aimed at the target again , Nine arrows neatly and neatly, all shot into the bullseye!

In this way, the test of archery and even foot shooting, the test of the first level of martial arts, will end here.

The burly man had just rushed to the northeast corner, looked at the archery target, and was once again the first to reach the arrows. The corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching the neat arrows trembling in the wind, and his eyes fell on the young man's handsome body. Looking at the posture, he couldn't hold back his saliva, and cursed secretly in his heart, this is really like what his father said, the rhythm of the back wave trying to kill the front wave!
After receiving the bow and arrow handed over by the yamen servant, the sun was shining brightly above his head, the burly man dared not be careless, blinked his eyes several times, then gritted his teeth and swung his arms, swishing the arrow feathers into the target.

The burly man who relaxed looked at the arrows from his side. Although they were a little messy, they all hit the bull's-eye. When Hanhan laughed, his face trembled, and his sharp eyes were squeezed even smaller.

Although infantry is considered the most simple and basic item among the three competitions in martial arts, but in the first place, I only hit six arrows in my arrows immediately, which is still not as good as that boy's record of hitting every shot. Now infantry can match the boy. In a tie, the burly man is still very satisfied.

The burly man's face trembled in good mood, and he moved his stiff arms. At the same time, he subconsciously looked at Song Yan who was paying attention to his record, and met the approval in the young man's eyes. The man was stunned. Thinking of the comparison thoughts I had just now, I felt a little inexplicably hot.

Fortunately, he has a thick skin, such subtle emotions are not easily received by others.

One after another the men passed through the rifles, but no one could surpass the combat skills of Song Yan and that burly man. The sun was shining brightly at noon, and the blue eyes that fell on the censer, with the sound of the gong in the hands of the yamen servant, the young man flirted. Eyelids rolled up, eyes fell on the neatly arranged incense table in the center of the racecourse.

Although the martial arts exam does not test Wen Tao, it involves martial arts.

And after the sound of the gong, the men who still hadn't rushed back from the racetrack to the book table will be eliminated in the first competition of martial arts, and the remaining people who participated in the second competition of martial arts are directly reduced by half. Except for him and the burly man, the rest of the group also seemed a little cramped because of the riding and shooting ahead.

Putting this theory of martial arts in the second item is for the convenience of some candidates, because the third item involves skill and bravery, which is completely a difficult competition of strength and skill. The martial arts man regained some strength and replenished some water, so that he could calmly deal with the next third round.

Looking at the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table, Song Yan was not in a hurry, took the porcelain bowl handed over by the yamen servant, took a few sips from the rim of the bowl, and swallowed the light salt water into his throat to replenish his exhausted energy.

In the next competition, you have to lift a stone load. Too much water or lack of water in the abdomen is not the best state for exerting strength. On the contrary, before the second battle of martial arts, simply replenishing water so that the throat is not too dry is the fastest way to adjust The method of the state.

The burly man dipped in the thick ink. From the corner of his eye, Song Yan caught sight of Song Yan approaching the dishes to replenish water. After thinking about it, he followed suit. water stains, and hastily picked up the pen again.

The green smoke from the incense burner filled the air, accompanied by the faint fragrance of ink in the air, which made people feel good.

Behind the yamen servant, an official wearing a black gauze hat was sitting at the square table, and a roster was spread out in front of him. The examiner listened to the results of the arrows reported by the yamen servant, and then his gaze fell to the middle of the racecourse again. With the expression of admiration in the bottom of his eyes, his eyes fell on the space behind the word "Song Yan" in the center of the roster, and he wrote "Jia Shang" with a splash of ink.

At the same time, following the yamen servant's prompt, he quickly searched for the name of the burly man, and filled in "Jiazhong" in the blank of the first competition.

The so-called Martial Arts Classics in the third round of the martial arts exam is to be able to write the country's offensive and defensive plans in a square inch of paper. After passing the three passes, it is through this path that one sets foot on the Jinluan Palace to meet the emperor and become a martial artist.

And if all three competitions can win the championship, then you can become the champion of martial arts and be proud of the crowd!
At the end of the writing, the tense strings in his mind became loose. Song Yan put his pen into the inkstone, and scanned the ink on the rice paper. He moved his wrists with his left and right hands, and checked the article calmly.

The so-called national offensive and defensive plans, in addition to the "Martial Arts" and "Sun Tzu's Art of War", can also be used to play the border situation in a certain period of time. Now, since the Turks surrendered, the biggest threat facing Yan is to say, Xia Guo, guarded by the champion Hou, had misfired with the northwestern border of Yan State.
