Chapter 109 Together
The sun was bright, and the Huangsha Road Imperial Camp was crowded with people. Qintan Gong governed the army strictly. Since the accident between the Emperor, he had the imperial guards in the imperial city. The people stationed in Huangsha Road even selected excellent troops from the army. This was the first time that it was so noisy and disorderly.
"Don't make noise, everyone."
"Don't walk around, the military camp is at the important location."
"The radiology department is on the school ground, and the dynasty department is on the horse farm."
The civil servant who maintained order shouted loudly and directed the candidates to walk.
The grass in the military camp in autumn is not yellow, the vision is broad, and the candidates with varying ages are curious and looking around. Many people come with bows and arrows on their backs, but are blocked when entering the door.
"The examination room is equipped with bows and arrows, and it is prohibited to carry privately for fairness."
There were a lot of noise and complaining, but under the tough rules of disqualifying the exam, the candidates obediently put down the bows and arrows they prepared.
"Young Master Qingzi, Young Master Qingzi."
Xue Qing, who was walking among the candidates in Chang'an Prefecture, turned around when he heard the shouts and saw two middle-aged men coming over. They were the two who had followed Dahuangya to see the old things in Huangshadao before.
Although there is no contact in daily life, I always feel different feelings when I travel together, and I feel that I am inexplicably more intimate.
Zhang Shuangtong also greeted them with a smile.
"We are shooting the emperor, just to see Young Master Qingzi come a little better." They smiled, "It's a pity that the highest shooting the emperor is only full mark."
However, it was very regretful to see Xue Qing's hands.
"We have also heard that it's a pity that Young Master Qingzi was injured. I hope it won't affect the exam."
Xue Qing thanked and smiled: "It won't affect it, it's okay."
"It turns out to be confident." The two of them smiled.
Just as we were talking, a noise came from the front. We looked up and saw a group of young men in white robes, who were particularly conspicuous in their blue shirts.
"What are these people from Xiliang doing?" Zhang Shuangtong said.
Soon, news came, and it turned out that Xiliang people wanted to take the imperial examination together. According to the setting, the archery and imperial examinations were separated. Although the candidates could either ride horses and shoot archery, or temporarily learn archery before the exam, and even if they were on the ground and ride horses, they could look decent, but riding horses and archery was not something they could practice in a month or two...
"The people of Xiliang said that they were humiliating when they stood up and shot archery and rode empty-handed." Pang An ran back and said with a lip voice.
Zhang Shuangtong sniffed and patted Xue Qing: "Sanshilang, this is unbearable."
Xue Qing smiled and asked Pang An: "Did the examiner agree?"
Zhang Shuangtong sneered: "That's more important, the examiners will agree anyway that Xiliang people say."
Pang An also smiled and nodded: "The examiner said yes, the Shooting and Yu subject is to let everyone choose freely. You can participate in all or not, of course you can also take the exam together."
Xue Qing said: "It's very fair, so I'll report it together."

.....
The schoolyard was noisy and messy, and the schoolyard was separated by the fence and divided into the left and right sides.
One hundred big black horses in the horse farm were waiting with their license plates, no matter the bows and arrows were flying there, regrets or cheers came one after another. They were not frightened at all, and they didn't even dig their hooves, but only swayed their tails occasionally.
They looked so docile, but the candidates who came over the first imperial examination were still inexplicably nervous. Perhaps they were tall, perhaps they were dark all over, or perhaps they were clearly livestock but had contemptuous eyes... Horses were all sorted according to their license plates. As for whether they were suitable or not, it depends on luck. Luck is also a kind of exam in one aspect.
With Yuke's opening, the noise immediately surpassed the radiology department over there.
With a buzzing sound, a candidate released his bowstring and everyone hurriedly looked forward. The grass target was empty and there was a burst of laughter outside the railing.
"Beneath your feet, under your feet."
"Boy, can't you see clearly?"
With the sound of cheering, the candidate quickly lowered his head, squinted his eyes and looked hard... It turned out that he had a bad eye.
Zhang Shuangtong shook her sleeve and snorted: "Why do you want to shoot if you don't have good eyes?"
Pang An also laughed and laughed: "Just pulling a bow and shooting an arrow, maybe you can hit the target, and you get one point." So all the staff participated in these last two subjects, regardless of age.
It was smiling here, and the neighing of horses and screaming sounded. Everyone hurriedly looked at it and saw that in the horse farm not far away, several horses jumped high and lifted the candidates on their backs.
The candidates were thrown into disgust. Fortunately, there were imperial guards next to him to take care of them and control the horses in time, so as not to be injured by the horse's hooves. The candidates who fell down were helped to get out of the scene with a pale face... Not to mention that the imperial examination lost their scores, after being frightened, the urology examination was probably over. The candidates around him looked pale and frightened.
"This horse is not good."
“This is too dangerous.”
A complaint suddenly sounded.
The civil servants also hurriedly wiped their sweat and ran to the examiner. This time, the examiner of the imperial examination department was the generals of the imperial guards.
"Sir, these military horses are too strong, please change to some docile ones." The civil servants said.
The generals said indifferently: "This is the most docile horse I have chosen, this is the yellow sand road."
Yes, this is the Yellow Sha Road, and the soldiers, generals and horses are all top-notch. The civil servants looked at the dark faces of the generals. These generals had all gone to the battlefield to kill people. The so-called most docile horses were probably also galloping on the battlefield, and how much flesh and blood had been stepped under the horse's hooves.
"If it really doesn't work, go to the government office or the people to collect horses." Another general said with a better attitude.
Then why did there be too much time? There was no way, so I had to do it. The civil servants had to go back. When the candidates heard that there was no hope of changing horses, they had to pray that they would be better and that they would be in a better mood when they met the horses.
No one was watching the qi department, and they all rushed to the Yu Department. As the horses in the field were churning, the candidates screamed and screamed... It was so exciting.
"It's so scary." Pang An said with a pale face.
"It's okay." Guo Zi'an said, "Those horses are also veterans, and they can bully the weak and fear the strong. Just be brave."
Zhang Shuangtong looked at her clothes and felt a little worried: "I came wearing a red dress, thinking that she looked handsome and beautiful, but it would be eye-catching if she fell down."
Liu Chunyang said, "There are also gentle horses." He raised his chin and pointed it out. One of the ten candidates met a horse and finished running quietly. "It depends on your luck." Looking at Zhang Shuangtong, he shook his head, "But your luck has never been very good."
Speaking of which, because Xue Qing and everyone stood together at this time, Changle Society and Wuling Society were also grudges that had been around for many years.
Zhang Shuangtong spat at him.
Pang An said hello: "Look, Xiliang people have entered the venue."
Everyone saw twelve Xiliang teenagers entering the field, and the others retreated in this game, and the railings blocking the school and horse farms were removed... The Xiliang candidates were going to archery and the imperial horses together. The candidates around did not surround themselves, nor were they curious.
"It's worth mentioning...it's definitely OK..."
"It's a full mark again... It's like a man from Xiliang... Isn't he going to ride a horse when he is born, and he will shoot arrows if he can't speak..."
The candidates looked at the scene with a complicated expression and were restrained, unlike the previous joking jokes about other candidates when they failed. This is probably the difference between themselves and outsiders.
But horses did not distinguish between outsiders and insiders. They were all humans. The horses neighed and screamed and kicked in the horse farm.
Zhang Shuangtong patted the railing and smiled: "It seems that the people of Xiliang are not lucky! All twelve people chose the fierce horse..."
Everyone looked at the field and saw that the Xiliang teenagers who were leading horses according to the license plate took the reins. The military horses began to churn, jumped and shouted, and could hardly get close. The horses were eager to try and aimed the horse's hooves at the Xiliang candidates around them... It was terrifying.
A general standing next to him snorted and said, "Of course people are different from people. The people of Xiliang... can be distinguished by horses."
For the people in the army, they don’t have much good feelings for the people of Xiliang. There were so many fighting on the battlefield back then... Although the ceasefire is good now, there is no way to slap the people of Xiliang again in the past. It is not an exaggeration to see that they are ugly? Who asked them to take the exam can’t blame others.
The generals on the sidelines laughed a little, and after a moment, they held back and signaled to the soldiers standing there that they could stop the horses... If it were students of the Great Zhou Dynasty, they would come forward to stop them from the beginning. This is a little cunning to use their power, and it is harmless.
The soldiers on the side were ordered to run to the field, but as soon as they took a step, they heard the neighing of the horses in the field, and accompanied by the low roars of people, they saw that the young men in the Xiliang not only did not retreat, but some rode on horses, some hugged the horses' necks, and yelled... With a bang, several military horses were overturned to the ground, dust was flying, and the horses were neighing. The candidates outside the field were shocked and opened their mouths wide...
On the scene, horse training,?
The horses that fell on the ground were tumbling, and did not jump wildly. The young man from Xiliang on the horse's back was not lifted off. I don't know what tricks he used, and the horses neighed violently and were spinning wildly in the field...
All the noise disappeared, there was only the sound of horses in everyone's ears, dust was flying in front of them, horses were churning, and the young men in white were no longer beautiful butterflies, as if they were the most brutal butchers in the world...
It seemed that after a long time, it seemed that in the blink of an eye, the dust dissipated, the horses dispersed, and the horses stood quietly, standing no longer as before, and shook their tails in a favorable and fearful manner at the approaching Xiliang teenagers...
The tail seemed to be sucking the faces of the generals on the sidelines. Their black-faced hall turned red, and their hands hanging beside them clenched and clattered, humiliating, the military horses were tamed by the people of Xiliang on the spot.
It seemed that it was not the horses that were just overwhelmed on the ground, but themselves...
