    "He actually shot through the target!"

    "Are you sure you've penetrated it? This is a hundred steps away, and the arrow target is right in front of you. Are you sure you can penetrate it?"

    "There is nothing wrong with my eyes. There is a hole in the archery target, and there is nothing wrong with the black dot he drew."

    "Isn't this this person as strong as an ox?"

    "No, it's stronger than an ox, at least two oxen."

    The audience was in chaos. This was simply a miracle. The flying general who cracked monuments and pierced rocks was nothing more than that. From a hundred steps away, he might not be able to shoot through the target with one arrow. Li Longji was holding a telescope.  It can be seen clearly that penetration is not as simple as talking about it. How powerful is the throwing stone to penetrate the wooden board a hundred steps away? Strength and speed are indispensable.

    When Qin Xuan made a move, even the two candidates next to him were stunned. They knew very well how difficult it was to shoot at the target a hundred steps away. If they were a little weak and couldn't fully open the bow, the arrow might not even hit the target.  They can't get on it, and even if they get on it, they can't penetrate the target, let alone penetrate it. For them, they can only think about it, and it's a task that they can't complete at all.

    "This kid is indeed a bit evil. It seems that we still know too little about him," An Qingzong said gloomily.

    "Yes, brother, this flat shot is a test for school archery. I don't know why the examiner agreed to use stones as reference. We should protest."

    "Protest? Are you talking nonsense? If he can play, he must have obtained the approval of the examiner, otherwise he would be standing there?"

    "Brother is right. My younger brother may have misunderstood. But he is very powerful. As long as you are here, eldest brother, he will not be able to succeed in his days. You are invincible in the army. You will break his legs and waist when the time comes."  Revenge for the general"

    "Hmph you all remember, no matter what, if you encounter him in the corner, you must not be merciful. I will deal with him severely. You must be concealed and ruthless," An Qingzong said in a low voice.  .

    An Qingzong was planning to attack Qin Xuan, and Qin Xuan also wanted to attack him. At this time, he ran towards the target card with huge cheers, and a hole was punched through the previous target card.  The examiner had no choice but to order the soldiers to change and replace them with a target with a central circle painted on it. This target was a thirty-step target in the army. It was only three feet in diameter, with a central circle and four outer rings.  , everyone looked at him and ran towards the target sign again, wondering what he wanted to do?

    Qin Xuan stood in front of the new target card, unbuttoned the half-length shirt he was wearing, and then revealed the armor he wore under the clothes. It was a waistcoat-shaped armor with a brass plate on the chest, abdomen and back.  , the rest are connected by chain armor. This is a combination armor. It is very light. It mainly protects important places such as the chest, abdomen and back, so that it will not be injured by the enemy. As for the arms and legs, even if they are injured, they will not die at once.  .

    Most of the warriors who came to participate in the martial arts competition this time were wearing warrior uniforms, and none of them wore armor. Qin Xuan was the only one wearing a half-length monk uniform, trousers and combat boots. No one thought that he was wearing a shirt underneath.  With such armor, he took off his armor, put it on the target board, put on his clothes, and quickly ran back to the archery point.

    "Father, what is Qin Xuan doing? What kind of armor is that of his? Why haven't you seen it before?" Princess Xianyi asked.

    "Haha My father doesn't know either, but it seems like the chain armor has two protective plates added to it. It's very simple, but it protects all important parts. It's practical and very light. As for him hanging the armor on  On the target card, I probably don¡¯t want the target card to be damaged,¡± Li Longji said with a smile.

    "If it's damaged, just ask the soldiers to replace it. This armor looks very beautiful. It's a pity that it's damaged. It's worth much more than the wooden target tag," Xian Yi said with a smile. The armor is very difficult to make, and the locks  Armor is even more difficult. Although she doesn't understand military affairs, she still knows these basic knowledge. It takes forty or fifty people nearly a year to make a set of Mingguang Armor, which shows how precious Armor is.

    "Haha This kid is in trouble. Doesn't he know that private individuals are not allowed to own armor? He's okay, just wear it inside and others can't see it, so why take it out to show off?" Li Longji said with a smile.

    The law of the Tang Dynasty stipulates: "Anyone who bans weapons privately will only be allowed to do so for one and a half years."  "Tang Lu Shu Yi" records: "Privately prohibited weapons, including armor, crossbows, spears, armor, equipment, etc., are not allowed to be owned by private individuals One collar of armor, and three crossbows, travel two thousand miles. Three collars of armor  , and five crossbows, twisted. For those who make them privately, add one level to each."  Note: "Armor refers to leather, iron, etc., and the equipment and equipment are the same as armor. That is, if you get a piece of armor and do not send it to the official after thirty days, it will be the same as private law. If it is not completed, it will be reduced by two grades. That is, private armor and crossbows are not  Those who are perfect will have a hundred sticks."

    The court has very strict control in this area. Private individuals can own ordinary bows, arrows, swords, etc., but those that are prohibited must not be privately owned. The most seriousHe was sentenced to death by hanging. Why did Qin Xuan still make such a mistake after living in the Tang Dynasty for so many years?  Doesn't he know this?

    "Ahwhat should I do, father? Does he not understand this matter? Can you tell someone to tell the examiner, just say what you gave him?" Princess Xianyi asked hurriedly.

    "Give it to him? Who knows about this? Let's take a look. He shouldn't be someone who knowingly committed the crime," Li Longji said.

    Before Qin Xuan reached the shooting place, someone came over from the examiner. Among those candidates, Zhai Tanzhuan's expression changed first. This was a blatant use of forbidden equipment. Now he was in trouble. Don't talk about the exam. He couldn't do it.  He would have been arrested and convicted, but the Anqing Zong group was extremely happy. As soldiers, we all wore civilian clothes to participate in the martial arts competitions. He, a civil servant, dared to privately own armor. He really didn't have to do this even if he wanted to die.  Bar.

    "Qin Xuan, where did your armor come from?" asked the head of the Treasury Department.  The Ministry of War has one minister and two ministers, who are in charge of military selection, maps, chariots, horses, and armor.  There are also four subordinate departments, namely, the Ministry of War, the Staff Department, the Department of Driving, and the Department of Treasury. Armor matters happen to be under the management of the Department of Treasury. The guns, bows, and arrows brought by the Department of War for today's military examination are all obtained from the Department of Treasury.  Qin Xuan came out wearing armor. As the head of the Treasury Department, he had the right to ask.

    Qin Xuan was a candidate recommended by Zuo Wuwei. If he had military status, it would be normal for him to have armor, but his identity certificate showed that he did not have military status. Zuo Wuwei just recommended him. What was going on?  No one knew, and the minister in charge of the examination turned a blind eye during the examination, so he agreed to take part in the martial arts examination. Suddenly he was equipped with a private armor during the examination. This was no joke. There was a holy king sitting on the tower. He came to ask and he was also the minister.  the meaning of.

    "That armor is my own, I just wanted to test its sturdiness," Qin Xuan said with a smile.

    "Bold, don't you know that private individuals are not allowed to own armor?" the head of the Treasury asked sternly.

    "I know, I designed this armor for the weapons supervisor. It is currently in the testing stage. I wore it today to test the performance of the doctor's armor. Are there any problems?" Qin Xuan asked.

    "The armor designed for the Ordnance Supervisor? You are just a casual official. What does it have to do with the Ordnance Supervisor? Are you just quibbling? Can anyone prove it?" asked the head of the Treasury Department.

    "Who can prove it? It's really hard to say this, but in order to prove my innocence, you can go to the tower and report this to the Holy One. The Holy One knows that I am designing ordnance for the Ordnance Supervisor," Qin Xuan said with a smile.

    "Are you telling the truth? Why didn't your recommendation document mention this?" the head of the Treasury Department asked doubtfully.

    The Holy Sage is on the top of the city tower, and he doesn¡¯t dare to tell lies. I¡¯m afraid this is true, but the Holy Sage knows about it, but why does the Ministry of War have no records in this regard? The Ordnance Supervision is under the supervision of the Young Mansion, and the Ordnance Supervision  The subordinate arsenal is dedicated to storing ordnance, but it is also related to the Ministry of War. Things such as armor and weapons are military supplies. Once there is a war, the Ministry of War will make a plan on how much armor is needed. After submitting it for approval, it will be distributed to the expedition.  In the army, the Treasury Department of the Ministry of War is also the department that manages the arsenal.

    "This is a secret and cannot be told outside. If it were not for my personal innocence today, I would not tell it. If it reaches your ears, it must not be known to others," Qin Xuan said in a low voice.

    "This is a serious matter. I have to ask for details. Please wait a moment," the head of the Treasury Department said, and hurried back with two soldiers.

    The people didn't know what happened and were all talking about it. They were still wondering if it was because the examinee was using stones against the rules. The examiners were studying it. At this time, Princess Xianyi who was on the tower was so anxious that she almost scratched her head.  , the father really can't say anything at this time. As for what is given to the ministers, this has been recorded. As an emperor, you can't talk about it. Once it is proved that this armor is privately owned by Qin Xuan, it will be a big trouble.  , it will not lead to exile, but being punished by the rod is inevitable.

    The head of the Treasury Department quickly told Zhang Shilang the whole story. After hearing this, Zhang Shilang said, "I understand, wait a moment, I will go and report to the Holy One." He turned around and walked towards the tower. Everyone was watching.  He looked at Qin Xuan, but he returned to his horse leisurely as if nothing had happened, took out a kettle, and drank some water.

    "Jingyuan, what's the matter with you? You are not a professor at a medical university, how can you own armor? Don't you know this is a serious crime?" Zhai Tanzhuan ran over and asked anxiously.

    "Brother Zhengu, I know, but this is fine, it's just a piece of armor," Qin Xuan said nonchalantly.

    "Just a piece of armor? Do you know that this is a serious crime of traveling two thousand miles, but you still don't take it to heart. You quickly tell the examiners that the armor that Zuo Wuwei lent you for the exam is not your own.  , This can be explained, after all, you were recommended by Zuo Wuwei, otherwise, let alone the exam, they would probably come to arrest you soon," Zhai Tanzhan said anxiously.

    "Haha your idea is good, but do you think the Ministry of War will believe such a deceptive thing? I will report it to the Ministry of War truthfully. It is another big crime to make up lies in private to deceive the examiners of the Ministry of War. Let's see if you still  How about the exam? The boy is clean and waiting to go to jail.""We will come to arrest you soon," Zhai Tanzhuan said anxiously.

    "Haha your idea is good, but do you think the Ministry of War will believe such a deceptive thing? I will report it to the Ministry of War truthfully. It is another big crime to make up lies in private to deceive the examiners of the Ministry of War. Let's see if you still  How about the exam? The boy is clean and waiting to go to jail."
