Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The selection of horses for Princess Lanling has become a well-known thing all over the world. Thousands of children from aristocratic families from all over the country have come to Beijing, so Yu Wenshu and Yang Su do not dare to let their pigeons fly ostentatiously, and the pomp and pomp that should be done must be arranged.  The selection competition started soon. All subjects were tested in the seven classics and six arts. It was the same pomp and circumstance as the emperor selecting his concubine. This shows that the status of Princess Lanling is very high.  Xiao Yi originally thought that he would abstain from voting in the first round and be eliminated. He deliberately showed that he did not know poetry and even only wrote his own name and handed in a blank paper.  I thought I would be eliminated immediately, but unexpectedly, Yu Wenshu didn't let Xiao Yi go at all. He was still promoted even if he turned in a blank test, and stayed in the capital to wait for the next round of selection exams.  And the next round of exams is nowhere in sight.  After more than a month, some aristocratic families who expected to be promoted to Junma became dissatisfied. They wrote to Yang Jian to speed up the process, accusing Yu Wenshu and Yang Su of not doing things well.  Under pressure, Yang Jian had no choice but to ask Yu Wenshu and Yang Su to continue preparing for the selection of county horses.  During this period, Yu Wenshu approached Xiao Yi once and asked Xiao Yi about the whereabouts of the Mysterious Secret of Mysterious Heart.  Naturally, Xiao Yi would not admit it, let alone take action against him.  Fortunately, Xiao Yi lived in the Proton Mansion and Chen Shen was able to speak in front of Yang Jian, but Yu Wenshu did not dare to force himself.  However, since then, uninvited guests have often come at night.  Xiao Yi knew that those were Yu Wenshu's people, so he stepped up his guard.  When Yang Jian learned that Proton Mansion was being harassed, he was furious and sent troops to increase the number of guards there. Soon Yu Wenshu was unable to take action.  A new round of selection has begun, for archery among the six arts.  The arranged distances are fifty steps, one hundred steps, and one hundred and fifty steps respectively. Each level is shot ten times. The one with the most rings will be ranked first. If he fails, he will be eliminated.  In addition to testing archery skills, archery was one of the important ways to verify a gentleman's style in ancient times.  It is not that archery is only a required course for martial arts practitioners, it is also a required course for literati. Those who do not know archery have no chance of becoming an official, because they do not even have the most basic gentlemanly style, and the court cannot trust it.  Whether you are a scholar or a warrior, you will basically hit the target within fifty steps, unless there is something wrong with your eyes.  Although Xiao Yi entered the competition with the intention of being eliminated, he could not embarrass his father too much. As the eldest son of the largest family in the south, Xiao Yi was a weather vane for the children of the southern family.  In addition to the competition for the candidates for the county horse, it is also a big competition between the northern and southern families.  No one needed to remind them during this period. The children of the southern family and the children of the northern family consciously took sides, forming a clear confrontation between the north and the south.  Therefore, Xiao Yi did not embarrass his father in the fifty-step and one-hundred-step archery competitions. He passed both with full marks and became the best among the children of the Southern family.  Among the children of the southern rich families who passed with Xiao Yi, there were also three people from Feng Bao from Lingnan, Song Jing from Kunzhou and Lin Jian from Yuzhang.  The most powerful one was Feng Bao, who was the grandson of Mrs. Xian, who commanded the troops of the six states in Lingnan. The reason why Yang Jian was able to quickly pacify Jiangnan was largely due to Mrs. Xian's help in persuading the surrender of the Song clan in Kunzhou and the Lin family in Yuzhang.  Xiao Yi was naturally identified as a Southern sect, so during the competition, Xiao Yi achieved good results, and the children of the Southern family such as Feng Bao, Song Jing, and Lin Jian all applauded and congratulated him.  However, except for one person in the southern faction, he was full of hostility towards Xiao Yi.  This is Xiao Enci, who also has the surname Xiao and is a descendant of Liang in the Southern Dynasties.  When the two met again, Xiao Yi realized that Xiao Enci, who he had kidnapped twice, was actually a descendant of the Liang Dynasty royal family. It was because Yang Jian annexed the Western Liang Dynasty that they had no choice but to move eastward and Nanchen with 100,000 people.  They are both from the Xiao family in the south, but Xiao Enci is the son of a poor county man and no longer has the power of the royal family.  Although Xiao Yi is also a child of a down-and-out family, he is much stronger than Xiao Enci.  It's just that Xiao Yi's father is still a hussar general, still holds military power in his hands, and still has a great influence on the southern aristocratic families.  Xiao Enci is undoubtedly jealous.  Since being beaten up twice by Xiao Yi, Xiao Enci worked hard to learn martial arts. At this time, he had achieved some success. He wanted to take revenge on Xiao Yi, so he walked over and tried to knock down Xiao Yi with his own size to make him look embarrassed, but Xiao Yi unexpectedly  He was motionless, as if he had knocked down a steel plate, and was knocked to the ground by the repulse, as if half of his shoulder almost fell off in pain.  "You are too petty! You don't need to hold grudges now when you fought when you were a kid!" Xiao Yi was still smiling.  "This is not called holding a grudge, this is called taking a breath!" Xiao Enci had no intention of reconciling with Xiao Yi. He stood up, patted his butt and glared at Xiao Yi fiercely, but went to talk to other people on the other side.  Feng Bao looked at Xiao Enci¡¯s back and asked Xiao Yi what happened.  After Xiao Yi answered truthfully, Feng Bao and Song Jing couldn't help laughing.  Lin Jian next to him was just coldHe said, "What kind of trouble can a mere county prince's son make? It's just a matter of pride for the declining royal family. Brother Shimin, don't worry about it!" At this time, bursts of noise came from the east.  Feng Bao asked an acquaintance and found out that it was Yuwen Shiji, the second son of the Yuwen family, who was shooting arrows.  He shot ninety-two rings with ten arrows within one hundred and fifty steps, which immediately increased the prestige of the northern sect.  Xiao Yi turned around and asked: "Brother Feng, what do you think of Yuwen Shiji's archery skills?" Feng Bao paused and said, "Be among the brothers with me! I just don't know if he can maintain this level two hundred steps away.  "Obviously, Lingnan people are good at archery, and Feng Bao has learned from Mrs. Xian. He thinks he is the best in archery, but he is competing with that Yu Wenshi.  Soon, the 150-step archery competition began here.  Feng Bao shot the ninety-third ring without hesitation, and suddenly overwhelmed Yuwen Shiji. The southern faction immediately cheered, and suddenly destroyed Yuwen Shiji's arrogance.  Xiao Yi shot ten arrows randomly as before, seven of them hit the target, and the other three arrows deliberately hit the edge of the target.  However, if anyone is interested and takes a closer look at the archery target, they will find that Xiao Yi is playing a game when shooting arrows - shooting flies.  That¡¯s right!  Xiao Yi's childlike innocence was still intact, but the arrow he deliberately let go hit the fly and pinned the fly to the target.  What is archery? This is the real archery.  Xiao Yi¡¯s archery skills, which he has practiced hard for eleven years, have reached a very high level. Within one hundred and fifty steps, it is as easy for him as playing house for a child.  Song Jing and Lin Jian's archery skills were average. By the time they reached the 150th step, they were just on target and could not hit the red heart.  Xiao Yi has always been in the top five. He doesn't want to be the first to be in the limelight, but he can't embarrass his father and make others look down on him.  The current results are just right.  Only five people can enter the two-hundred-step archery competition. They are Yu Wenshiji, who has always been in the limelight, Feng Bao, who never lags behind, and then Dugu Feiji of the Dugu family. Xiao Yi ranks fourth in total, but fifth place.  It surprised Xiao Yi because his name was Li Jiancheng.  Li Jiancheng is only thirteen years old, but he also wants to marry Princess Lanling, who is two years older than him. It seems that Li Yuan, as the Duke of Tang Dynasty, is not a person who lives in vain, and has always had ambitions in his heart.  Five people were qualified in the 150-step archery competition. This was a big surprise to Yu Wenshu. According to the regulations, a leader must be selected for each competition, and then when all events are accumulated, the one with the most first time  The person becomes the first candidate for the county horse, and so on.  Yu Wenshu naturally wanted his son to get first place, so he had to add another competition, and five people entered the 200-step shooting competition.  An archery target two hundred paces away is already within the shooting range of an expert archer for ordinary people.  For archers, they also want to compete to see who is first.  Xiao Yi also wanted to see the last round of the competition to see their strength, so he used some tricks. He was the last one to shoot the arrow every time, so that he knew the number of rings of the people in front of him and had an idea.  The two-hundred-step archery attracted many people to watch, especially two young men, one white and one green, standing not far away.  Everyone was attracted by the game, and no one paid attention to the two of them.  If anyone took a closer look, they would be frightened by their appearance.  Because they are so handsome that they don't look like men at all.  The game has begun.  This time, Yu Wenshiji, Feng Bao, Xiao Yi, Dugu Feiji and Li Jiancheng shot arrows at the same time. It was impossible for Xiao Yi to be the last one to shoot the arrow.  In the first three rounds, all five people scored ten rings, which attracted applause from the surrounding audience.  In the next seven rounds, only Yuwen Shiji, Feng Bao and Xiao Yi continued to maintain the ten-ring score. However, Dugu Feiji and Li Jiancheng were unable to shoot the ten-ring score because their physical strength declined too quickly, and the distance widened.  Too big, they have missed the top three.  To choose the first place, you have to increase the difficulty - two hundred and thirty steps.  People¡¯s attention immediately focused on Yuwen Shiji, Feng Bao and Xiao Yi.  After seven times, the results of the three of them were very tight.  Archery consumes too much physical energy, and it is getting more and more difficult to hit the red heart from a long distance. This is why it is exciting.  During the last three arrows, Xiao Yi deliberately said that there was something wrong with the bow and arrow, and asked Yu Wenshiji and Feng Bao to shoot first.  As a result, Yuwenshi and Sanjian shot 21 rings, and Feng Bao shot 23 rings with three arrows and temporarily ranked first.  "Brother Shimin, don't wait any longer. It's up to you. As long as you shoot fifteen rings, the first place will be yours."??.  " Seeing that Feng Bao won the first place, Xiao Yi winked at him and whispered: "Brother Feng, don't worry, Xiao Yi has no intention of marrying Princess Lanling, so naturally he won't make money with you.  Seeing Feng Bao stunned, Xiao Yi burst out laughing and said, "It's so boring to shoot one arrow at a time!"  Let me give you a little surprise!  " With that said, Xiao Yi bent his bow and guided the arrow, and actually launched three long arrows directly. This suddenly made the crowd excited, and some people from the Southern Sect began to cheer. Everyone was staring at Xiao Yi, and the Yuwenshi and  He was even more nervous. As long as Xiao Yi casually shoots a fifteen-ring shot, he will be the first. The young man in green among the two people not far away suddenly jumped up excitedly and said: "One."  Bow and three arrows, this Xiao Yi is so handsome, he is just like the hero in Shi Shu's dream.  " The young man in white hurriedly covered his mouth and scolded: "You damn girl, what are you talking about? You want to kill the princess!  "It turned out that these two people were actually women disguised as men. No wonder they looked so handsome. Fortunately, everyone was paying attention to Xiao Yi, and no one heard what they said. The girl who called Shishu immediately stuck out her tongue.  He said: "Isn't the princess excited?  Are you saying that among the Seven Classics and Six Arts, only archery can reveal character, and only a gentleman can shoot the farthest.  The first placer in this assessment is most likely to become a county horse, right?  Isn¡¯t the princess excited?  As long as that Xiao Yi shoots fifteen rings, then he is very likely to be your future husband.  ¡± It turns out that the woman in white is actually Princess Lanling. If Xiao Yi sees her appearance, he will definitely be shocked, because Princess Lanling looks so much like Yu Chilan, they are almost cut from the same mold.  The appearance was the same. However, Princess Lanling's skin in front of her was fairer and her expression looked extremely arrogant. Perhaps this was due to the inherent majesty of being a princess. Princess Lanling gave the servant an annoyed look and looked coldly.  He hummed: "I'm just talking, but you take it seriously!  " As she said that, Princess Lanling felt something else in her heart - can Xiao Yi really hit with one bow and three arrows? There was a vague sense of expectation. But she saw that Xiao Yi had earned enough people's prizes.  , three arrows were shot immediately. Unfortunately, none of the three arrows hit the target! ! There was a burst of sighs in the crowd, and they were undoubtedly disappointed in the archery competition.  It turned out that Feng Bao, Yu Wenshi and second place, Xiao Yi is still continuing the myth that he is third in every event. Feng Bao breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Xiao Yi with a smile on his face and was about to go over to ask what happened.  Unexpectedly, he was stopped by Yu Wenshiji. "You are lucky enough to get the first place, but I have already won six first places, and you only have three. The princess is mine. If you are wise, you can withdraw voluntarily. It will save you money."  humiliated.  " Feng Bao wanted to fight as soon as he heard Yuwen Shiji's arrogant words. Xiao Yi, Song Jing, Lin Jian and others hurriedly stepped forward to pull him away. "It is better to offend a gentleman than a villain!  Brother Feng, please don¡¯t get along with this kind of person!  " Seeing that it was Xiao Yi who persuaded him like this, Feng Bao stopped arguing with the Yuwenshi. He glared at him fiercely, then pulled Xiao Yi up and said, "Brother Shimin, Brother Song, Brother Lin, let's go.  The brothers went out to have some fun and got first place today. I, Feng Bao, am treating me!  " Upon hearing Feng Bao's treat, the three of them were extremely happy and couldn't wait to pull him away together. Yu Wenshiji was very unhappy that the other party ignored his existence. Especially Xiao Yi's words were undoubtedly calling him a villain. " How unreasonable!  Yu Wenshiji suddenly darkened his face. Looking at the result of the game, Shi Shu complained: "That damn Xiao Yi made me happy for nothing. He shot three arrows and got zero marks, even if you shot one arrow at a time.  , even if you shoot five rings, you will definitely win.  It really pissed me off.  " Listening to the maid's complaints, Princess Lanling also said with contempt: "At first glance, it seems that someone is very happy with his achievements. He doesn't have the ability to shoot three arrows with a bow and dares to take them out in front of everyone. Only such a humane Princess can  He didn't like it, he couldn't help but first of all, God was favoring this princess.  " Shishu then sighed: "What should I do!  That number one Feng Bao looks too barbaric. Isn¡¯t Kunzhou a place of southern barbarians? What will the princess do if she marries such a person in the future? She doesn¡¯t know how to cherish a woman¡¯s beauty.  Princess Lanling snorted coldly and said, "He only ranks first in three categories. That Yuwenshi ranks first in six categories."  "The waiter then thought of Yuwen Shiji and immediately said: "Although Yuwen Shiji is very handsome and very capable, the princess didn't say that his father Yuwen Shu was born.A slave, who seeks glory behind his master, will never marry that scholar?  Princess Lanling sighed and said, "Yes!"  What should I do!  " The servant suddenly smiled and said: "That's okay. The worst is, princess, you can just continue to cheat on the emperor!  As long as you are not happy, Princess, isn't there anything the Emperor can do to you?  "Princess Lanling suddenly smiled brightly and said: "Yes, at worst, I will just cheat again!"  "The master and the servant were talking and laughing. They didn't go far when they saw two shooting range guards studying an archery target and muttering. "This is amazing!  One bow and three arrows actually hit three flies!  " "Yes! How powerful archery skills are required to do this!"  " The two girls couldn't help but came forward to ask out of curiosity. The two guards didn't know their identities. Seeing that they were also dressed as spectators, they said a few more words to them. Princess Lanling immediately said: "  You say so?  Is this what the person named Xiao Yi did just now?  "
