Chivalrous Song Dynasty

Among the civil and military officials, there are many Confucian scholars who have read poetry and books. After hearing this line "Xia Ke Xing" recited by Li Shishi, they can't help nodding. The couplet chosen by this beautiful girl is indeed suitable for the occasion!These literati are not lacking in flirtatious love, and they have long been paying attention to Li Shishi.

Among them, the promotion of Dasheng Mansion (Note: Dasheng Mansion is the highest music institution in the Song Dynasty, equivalent to the National Music Association and the Central Orchestra of later generations) Zhou Bangyan immediately sent a flattery to Li Shishi, "Ms. Shishi's talent has increased. !"

Zhou Bangyan was in charge of writing lyrics in the Dasheng Mansion, and he had been Li Shishi's teacher for a few days last year. If it wasn't because he wanted to eat tender grass, Cai Jing wouldn't have invited Li Qingzhao over.At this time, taking the opportunity to talk to Li Shishi, Zhao Ji was so angry that he curled his lips. You can call Shishi?

It's just that Zhou Bangyan didn't have any explicit desires, and Zhao Ji couldn't do anything about him.

As the saying goes, hooligans are not scary, but they are cultured.Literati playing hooligans is the most covert and coquettish, saying some ambiguous words with puns and ambiguous words, you can't be sure that he is sexually harassing.

Seeing that Zhou Bangyan wanted to play hooligans in public again, Cai Jing intervened and said, "Everyone, let's see how my disciple's arrow skills are. Why is it so urgent to talk about poetry? Yuanxi Poetry will be said again!"

With Lao Cai's intervention, it was difficult for people to continue chatting about Li Shishi's literary talents, and they all turned their attention to the field.

Three hundred paces away, the new lanterns had already been hung.

However, Bai Sheng has not started to urge the horse to gallop. Instead, he is talking to the chief examiner. The chief examiner seems to be unable to accept it. In turn, he keeps asking Bai Sheng. The voices of both of them are normal, but the people in the stands I can't hear you.

But people didn't lose their patience, because everyone knew that this was the last exam, and they could go home and sleep after that, and come back to watch the finals tomorrow, so they were not in a hurry, and they all wanted to see if Bai Sheng could play well. What kind of tricks are coming.

Suddenly, the examiner yelled to the south: "Put the lantern up to the bottom of the south wall, five hundred steps away from the north stand."

With this loud shout, the stands immediately exploded. Almost everyone understood that Bai Sheng was going to shoot at the lantern five hundred paces away.But is this too exaggerated?Five hundred paces away, the lantern is almost invisible, how can I shoot this?

It seems that Bai Sheng still wants to fight for the first place!Immediately, someone started postponing, saying that you are not talking nonsense?People don't fight for the first place, why stay last to play?

For a moment, the audience's emotions were ignited again, but too many people couldn't help but think: If Bai Sheng really won the first place, the money for buying the lottery ticket would be thrown into the water again.

Only Zhao Fujin and Li Shishi in the North Stand were smiling like flowers, as if Bai Sheng had already won the first place, which made people very dissatisfied, especially Concubine Wei Xian, her face was already gloomy, but she couldn't say anything. Can secretly curse Bai Sheng for being inaccurate.

Not long after, a report came from a small official at the bottom of the south wall, saying that the lanterns had been set up, and most of the people on the stand could not see clearly because they were looking out.

Those with good eyesight confirmed it: "Well, it's erected, but I can't see clearly. I really don't know how Bai Sheng aims."

No wonder people say that a lantern one mile away is like a star at most in the eyes of ordinary people, and it has to be a star with a faint light.

Bai Sheng didn't say any more, and walked straight away.

He was under three stands, so everyone could see clearly. The white horse spread its hooves under the moonlight. There was no slow speed increase at all, and it flew like lightning immediately, as if a white cloud was floating on the ground. , very dreamy.

But Bai Sheng suddenly shot an arrow when the white horse galloped between the east and the west. The movement was also surprisingly fast. Shout: "Out! The lantern is out!"

"Oh my God, the lantern is off! He shot it!" I don't know whether it was excitement or distress, but the person who yelled this was already crying.

In the eyes of Tong Guan, Li Biyun, Di Lie, Yi Xiao, Zhan Renlong and other experts, the lantern that was [-] paces away was indeed extinguished. Their eyesight is far better than that of ordinary people, even much stronger than ordinary warriors. , how can you not see that lantern?

At this moment, exclamations and cheers intertwined in the arena, forming a huge wave of sound that spread to all directions. Bai Sheng once again created a miracle, which made the audience excited.

On the west stand, Di Lie turned his head and asked Yi Xiao, "What do you think of Bai Sheng's arrow skills?"

Yi Xiao pondered for a moment and said, "Very strong. However, if his three-stone bow is in my hands, I can do it too."

On the north stand, Tong Guan couldn't help sighing: "It's true that the waves behind the Yangtze River push forward the waves ahead. The new generation is better than the old ones, and our family is getting old."

Everyone knows that this time No.1 is really a foregone conclusion, Bai wins the first place!

However, the people's exclamation and cheers did not last long, and they quickly turned into voices of surprise, because someone discovered that Bai Sheng vaguely shot another arrow when the white horse was returning.

no?The lanterns are all out, what else does he shoot?

People couldn't help being very puzzled, unable to figure out what Bai Sheng meant by this move.

It's just that I can't figure it out. After the white horse ran back and forth, it actually ran in again, just like Lolita and Shui Ningzhu did back then.

Is he jogging?Just when someone thought this way, someone saw Bai Sheng shooting an arrow again, "Why is he still shooting? What is he shooting?"

No one could answer this question, more and more people closed their mouths in doubt, the noise in the arena gradually subsided, and the only sounds in the arena were crisp hooves and "whoosh" and "whoosh" shooting arrows.

There are many caring people watching his appearance and distinguishing his voice. According to statistics, Bai Sheng shot a total of ten arrows.

Why did he still shoot ten arrows?

When Bai Sheng finished shooting ten arrows and left the arena, and the official who reported the target sent the extinguished lantern for inspection, the examiner announced the truth of the matter.

Bai Sheng did shoot ten arrows, except for the first arrow which extinguished the candle flame, the remaining nine arrows actually divided the candle in the lantern into ten segments!

However, every two sections of candles are not completely separated, which is like nine long arrows are embedded in a candle. The distance between the arrows is very even, but the candle is "supported" by two inches. !

This is simply incredible!

Even if someone holds a candle in his left hand and inserts long arrows one by one with his right hand, it may not be so accurate!

Moreover, the most puzzling thing is, after the first arrow shot out the candle, how did Bai Sheng aim at the lantern in the dark?How did he shoot the candlestick when he couldn't even see the lantern?

This is simply unpredictable!

As soon as the result came out, no one cheered on the field, they were frightened by Bai Sheng's unique skills, or refused to accept the fact that they would not believe it even if they were beaten to death.

Even Tong Guan asked the examiner to personally deliver the lantern to the North Stand, but Tong Guan didn't believe it!

It's just that when Tong Guan saw the lantern nearby, all blood disappeared from his old white face.

Sighed: "That's all, such archery skills cannot be practiced by the day after tomorrow. This Bai Sheng is a natural marksman! I'm afraid that the famous young Li Guang and Xiao Yang Youji in the world can't compare with him! Just say As far as archery is concerned, there is no one in the world who is his opponent."

Cai Jing watched from the side, knowing that what Tong Guan said was from the bottom of his heart, he could no longer bear the pride in his chest, and even forgot the original intention of dragging Bai Sheng back, stood up and said: "This is the real General Ye Yingong." Ah! Privy Tong, can my disciple still be a general?"

Chapter 290 Heshuo Excalibur, Duguhong

Cai Jing is proud of Bai Sheng, but he doesn't know what Tong Guan really thinks.

That's right, Tong Guan's evaluation of Bai Sheng's archery skills was indeed from the heart, but no one knew that while the old eunuch admired Bai Sheng's excellence from the bottom of his heart, he had already made a killing heart for Bai Sheng.

Regardless of whether Zhao Ji wants to kill Bai Sheng or not, Bai Sheng cannot live in this world.

Is Zhou Tong's martial arts high?high.But Zhou Tong does not get involved in the affairs of the military and political circles, and has no disputes with the world or others, so don't take it to heart.

Is Huang Chang's martial arts high?Also high.So he was sent to Jiankang Mansion to deal with Fang La. It would be best if he could kill Fang La. If he couldn't kill Fang La, he would be guilty of dereliction of duty if he didn't get killed by Fang La!The so-called one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, even if you, Huang Shang, do not come to fight for power and profit, Bianjing City will not tolerate you!

But now there is another Bai Sheng, Bai Sheng who showed a strong desire to win the imperial examination, this person cannot stay.

Although he is confident that Bai Sheng's comprehensive strength is still far behind him, but this kid is too young, young means unlimited potential, who knows what Bai Sheng will become in three to five years?

Unknowingly, Tong Guan has examined Bai Sheng on the same level as Zhou Tong and Huang Shang.

So when Cai Jing asked him if Bai Sheng could be a general, he immediately smiled and said: "Of course, Bai Sheng is so outstanding that he can already be awarded the No. What?"

Tong Guan is the highest person in charge of this martial arts exam, and he is the person who holds the final interpretation power. If it is left to later generations, his power is equivalent to being a high-ranking official and part-time minister of education. He said that Bai Sheng is the champion of martial arts, so Bai Sheng must be The champion of martial arts, even the emperor Zhao Ji, cannot be changed without a legitimate reason.

Of course, Zhao Ji understood that Tong Guan was going to implement the established plan.So when Tong Guan looked at him for advice, he agreed: "Tong Aiqing's words are very true. Bai Sheng must be the No. [-] Martial Arts Scholar and the pioneer official of the Western Expedition Zhengyin. This matter is settled like this."
