Wei Shu

"This incense was given to me by the superiors. It is said to be called Shen Su and it burns very quickly. If you pull the car back before the incense burns out, you will be able to get the first prize."

Lao Wu stared at the two young ladies, his expression suddenly turned cold, his face was so serious that it was almost stern, and his voice was also tinged with a hint of chilling:

"Romanship is a combat skill. Although you are not taking the test of driving a chariot, but only use an ordinary carriage instead, this is also a craft. If you don't have any ideas and real skills, and you don't know what you are doing, tell me as soon as possible, and I will immediately I’ll give you a guarantee and leave.”

He stopped and his eyes slowly swept over Wei Shu and Yang Qiniang.

At that moment, he did not hide the murderous aura in his eyes that was immersed in the mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Although it was invisible, the sense of oppression was extremely strong.

Wei Shu stood calmly, completely indifferent; Yang Qiniang on the side also gritted her teeth and straightened her back, remaining silent with a stubborn spirit that refused to admit defeat.

We have come to this point, and no one will give up easily after hearing a few words.

Lao Wu seemed to have expected this situation, nodded and said:

"Okay, since you are so insistent, then remember this: here and now, the school field is the battlefield, you are both candidates and soldiers, and I, Lao Wu, am your leader...your superior officer.

During the exam, I will ride on horseback and watch you. If you are even the slightest bit reckless, no matter how good your riding skills are or how fast you run, you will only be the best with me. "

Wei Shu still felt nothing about Jiyan's stern words, but Yang Qiniang had obviously reached the extreme limit of endurance, and her face turned slightly pale.

It was nothing to hear a lecture, but such a murderous and ferocious lecture inevitably frightened the little lady.

Lao Wu himself soon realized this, and stood for a while with a sullen face. However, he couldn't laugh immediately, so he had to grin and "haha" twice, and said:

"We are also thinking about you. Even if there are any mistakes in other examination rooms, the most you will get is a needle prick or a fire. If you are not good here, you will have to break your muscles and bones, and you may not be alive. If you don’t keep it, it will be the same as before..."

He suddenly stopped speaking, and after a few breaths, he abruptly turned around:

"...In short, you two don't want to be lame like me, right? So, you two must be obedient and don't mess around, you know?"

"Student, please obey." Wei Shu replied first.

As she spoke, she secretly thought: The half of Lao Wu's unfinished sentence was presumably the origin of this rigorous examination.

In the Imperial Examination Hall back then, I was afraid that someone would die.

Yang Qiniang didn't know whether she heard the unfinished meaning, she just responded vaguely, and Lao Wu stopped talking, waved his hand, and the exam began.

The initial test went quite smoothly.

Needless to say, Wei Shu had excellent martial arts skills and superb riding skills. The old horse was very docile. Although it ran slower, it was more stable. She never stepped out of the marked line during the whole process. When she reached the finish line, Lao Wu died. There is still quite a bit of the small hourglass next to the saddle.

"Girl is not bad."

He praised with a warm breath, then took out the name book and seal from the saddle, breathed on the seal, and put a red circle behind Wei Shu's name.

Passed the initial test.

Yang Qiniang also passed quickly.

She had worked hard on her riding skills, and when she mounted the horse, she pedaled and turned over in one go, with a graceful posture that made Lao Wu smile all over her face.At the end of the lap, the little girl didn't blush or breath, and she got the seal of approval.

Seeing that both of them had some experience, Lao Wu seemed to be relieved. He turned around and pulled a harnessed carriage from behind the stable. The three horses were carefully selected. None of them were young and strong, but they were It is stronger than the old horse before.

"Girl Wei, you come first." Lao Wu waved to Wei Shu.

He could tell at a glance that Wei Shu had martial arts skills. Although he couldn't tell the depth, she was clearly ahead of Yang Qiniang, so he let Wei Shu take the test first.It will be more difficult for the first candidate to pass the obstacle in a chariot, because the horses are not familiar with the weather, terrain, etc., and even the most honest horse will not listen to instructions; while the next candidate will have an easier time.

Wei Shu did not refuse and stepped forward. She first reached out and patted the leading horse a few times, then tried the halter and the horse's reins. Then she gathered the reins with one hand and jumped onto the carriage.

At this moment, the snow has fallen heavily and the wind has become strong. Heavy snow is flying on the empty campus. From time to time, strong winds sweep through, making a deep whimper.

When she stood on the shaft and held the reins, a familiar feeling suddenly came to her heart. For a moment, Wei Shu seemed to have returned to a long time ago, to the time when she and her father were competing in the Central Plains.

I still remember that in the late winter of that year, she was ordered to escort grain and grass to the border town. Suddenly, pursuers attacked and killed her, and there was a dangerous pass ahead. She had to lead her troops to cut off the rear and fight fiercely with the enemy in the field.

That day, there was heavy snow in the sky and the howling wind, as always.

Wei Shu couldn't help but feel dazed, as if the wind and snow had passed through the years and reappeared before her eyes.

"Girl Yang, light some incense!"

Suddenly, Lao Wu's shouts came to her ears. Wei Shu's heart trembled and she raised her whip.

"Crack", amidst the sound of the whip, Yang Qiniang, who had been guarding in front of the stone pier for a long time, quickly lit Shen Su, soaking the paper media again.

It only took three to five breaths. When she turned back, she saw the wind and snow in front of her. The carriage was rushing towards the first road barrier like lightning. A slender figure on the carriage stood like a sword, and a horse riding beside the carriage Following closely is Lao Wu.

"She...how...why is she standing?" Yang Qiniang murmured, her eyes widened and slightly absent-minded.

She had studied hard for a year to ride and control, and she could barely stand on the carriage for a while, and the carriage couldn't go too fast, otherwise it would fall down.

But at this moment, the carriage that was speeding around the roadblock towards the second iron fence was actually a troika.

"Jiayou... I'm going to get Jiayou..."

Yang Qiniang's face was dull. Suddenly she seemed to think of something and turned her head quickly.

On the small incense burner, the star of incense was slowly moving down. The fragrance was fragrant, elegant and peaceful.

However, this peaceful breath could not relieve the anxiety in her heart. She clenched her fists, puffed up her cheeks, stared at the incense and muttered quietly but quickly:

"Hurry up, hurry up..."

After muttering for a while, she turned to look at the school grounds again, and the muttering changed again: "Slow down, slow down, slow down..."

Wei Shu didn't know that she was being chanted by a little lady.

She had passed the first few roadblocks easily, and only the last one was left in front of her:
Big haystack.

Five haystacks are lined up in a row, about ten steps apart from each other.

According to the designated route, candidates need to use their chariots to weave between these five haystacks. During this period, they must not knock over the haystacks, and must not miss or make the wrong detour, otherwise they will be considered failed.

Wei Shu held the rein with her left hand and swept the whip with her right hand towards the waist and abdomen of the leading horse.

This stroke contained some internal energy and seemed not heavy, but the horse was in pain. He immediately raised his head and neighed, raised his hooves and turned left. The other two strong horses also turned accordingly, and they turned around gently and skillfully. The first gap.

It’s done. (End of chapter)
