.

Outside the De Hall, the snow flutters, the iron armor is cold, the snow is black iron, the flowing and majestic

The flag was dancing vigorously in the wind, and the soldiers holding the flag remained motionless. In front of Wude Hall, Yang Guang was high above. The huge yellow umbrella on his head not only shielded from wind and rain, but also looked like he could cover the sky and the sun.

A large and flat field was empty in front of Wude Hall, and the guards were arranged in neatly to guard the four corners. Flags of various colors were flying, and armor was sequentially arranged. The huge crowd was like ants, but it was silent. Wherever there were thousands of eyes, Xiao Buyi's face was as usual, and he was hiding the wind of a general.

The Yijin Jing not only changed his physique and martial arts, but also invisibly changed his temperament and psychology. The most important thing is to strengthen his self-confidence.

Under the gaze of everyone, Xiao Buyi stepped forward and greeted Yang Guang and shouted: "Long live my emperor."

Yang Guang's face was gloomy and joyful, but said, "Don't give me a favor." Yang Guang's ranks more than a dozen ministers, most of whom were prominent, and Yu Shiji, the Minister of the Inner History, Nayan Su Wei, and General Yu Wen Shu were all in the list. What surprised Xiao Buyi was that Li Min was also there. He arranged a comfortable big chair at the beginning, and sat a minister who looked older than Su Wei. Although Xiao Buyi didn't know that person, he woke up just by looking at it. He might be the highest-ranking general of the Right Guard, who was currently the best-ranked title and Duke of Shen Ming Li Hun, who had the iron certificate of death granted by Emperor Wen.

In the entire temple, this person is only qualified to put a chair next to Yang Guang.

Yang Guang confirmed Xiao Buyi's idea, "Li Aiqing, it's cold today. You are in poor health, so you need to pay more attention."

Li Hun opened his eyes and bowed to the chair, "When the old minister heard that the emperor selected talents, he was secretly happy for the country and came over to see it. The proofreader was full of heroic posture, and he looked at it as a rare talent. The emperor was wise and the old minister was convinced."

Yang Guang squeezed a smile out of the corner of his mouth, "Li Aiqing said it well."

Except for Li Hun, Li Min, Yu Shiji, Su Wei, and Yu Wen Shu, some of them were familiar with Xiao Buyi, while others were strangers. Scholar Cao Han and secretary Yu Shinan were both. Next to Yang Guang was Empress Xiao, who was sitting next to him, looking at Xiao Buyi with concern and love. During the reign of Emperor Wen of Sui, Empress Dugu often listened to political affairs with Emperor Wen and was called the Second Saint by the court officials. Although Empress Xiao was far from the right to Queen Dugu, she watched the palace examination with Yang Guang, and the ministers were also commonplace.

Li Yuan was there, but he was at the end from afar. The two young men around him were all majestic, Chai Shao and Li Shimin, both of whom were young and energetic. They both looked eager to try.

Pei Mingcui was not present in such occasions. Her relationship with Yang Guang was extraordinary, but she knew the importance of the matter. In important occasions, she would certainly not show up in front of the ministers.

"Su Aiqing, I wonder how you are discussing the palace examination?" Yang Guang asked again.

From his attitude, there was no way to see his anger at Xiao Buyi, which made Xiao Buyi feel a little relieved. Then he thought that it was probably due to Queen Xiao’s pillow wind. Yang Guang wouldn’t say anything. It was his lifelong blessing to marry a gentle and virtuous wife like Queen Xiao.

Nayan Su Wei made a list and said, "When the old minister returned to the saint, he received the saint's will. He has been working hard for the past three days to examine the skills of the proofreader from three aspects."

"What three aspects?" Yang Guang was quite interested, as if he had long forgotten Xiao Buyi's rush to the top.

"The first is of course to examine riding and shooting. Shooting is one of the six arts, which has been circulated since ancient times. Using shooting to view virtue and shooting to view martial arts, the old minister thinks that the first aspect is that we must look at the skills and virtues of the proofreader from the matter of shooting."

"No," Yang Guang smiled and said, "Su Aiqing's words are reasonable."

Su Wei was excited, "This second assessment is to examine the literary talent of the proofreader. I asked Cao Han, the leader of Scholar, to give the question and ask the proofreader to answer the question."

Xiao Buyi has two big heads and is very helpless about this kind of assessment. It is just because her literary talent is not good, and it is not good if she is bad.

"Okay." Yang Guang nodded, wondering if it was possible.

"This third test is to examine the martial arts of the proofreader." Su Wei said again: "Old minister and the general of Zuo Xiaowei Zhang Jin, and Lieutenant General Dong of the Wuhou Mansion jointly elected one person to practice with the proofreader."

"Who is that person?" Yang Guang asked.

"That person is Feng Yizhong, the general of the Wuhou Mansion, and it is said that he is very skilled in martial arts. The Wuhou Mansion is also a specialist in inspecting day and night, and is responsible for arresting traitors. Everyone in it is very skilled in martial arts. I think the proofreader can use ten moves with him to see how good his martial arts are."

Xiao Buyi was also very troubled. He knew that this level was not easy. You should know that the Sui Dynasty set up the twelve guards, and Sun Shaofang was the imperial guards of the Right Guard Mansion, mainly guarding the palace. His responsibilities were not light or serious, because many hidden dangers were eliminated by the imperial city. Many times, there were not many things, and his martial arts were not necessarily brilliant. However, the military guards of the left and right Martial Arts were specially used to capture traitors in the East Capital, running around and licking blood from the knife. It goes without saying that martial arts was a certain place.

"Ten moves?" Yang Guang frowned, "The proofreader and servants are famous. It's impossible to kill Mogude in one person and a thousand troops. Ten moves are too easy."

Su Wei could only say: "Return to the emperor, then what if there is only a hundred moves?"

When Yang Guang was not convinced, Empress Xiao had already said: "Master, this is just to see the martial arts of the common people, and it is not a struggle between life and death. Su Na's advice is very good."

Yang Guang nodded and said, "What the queen said is reasonable, then it is limited to ten moves. If Xiao Buyi can beat Feng Yizhong, I will reward him as a high-ranking official. If not, hum!"

Queen Xiao was stunned and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Knowing that this husband's temper was hard to say much.

Yang Guang glanced at Xiao Buyi with a slight provocative look: "Chasing Scholar, what do you think?"

When Xiao Buyi saw his immense age, the king of a country, he actually felt like fighting with him. He was amused and just bowed: "The proofreader can only say that he is doing his best."

"Do your best, do your best?" Yang Guang smiled at the corner of his mouth: "It doesn't taste much better than a person. I remember Li Yuan's archery skills are good? Since that's the case, you can come out to compete with the proofreader."

Li Yuan stood up early, "Master, the old minister has been getting worse recently. The proofreader is young and promising. How can the old minister be compared with him? I also asked the old minister to spare the old minister and don't let the old minister lose face."

Yang Guang laughed and said, "Li Yuan, you are really getting worse every year. I heard that you were jealous of a singer and his subordinates a few days ago?"

Li Yuan's face was flushed, "Saint

, The old minister was not jealous, that was originally..."

Yang Guang waved his hand. He didn't want to listen more. "Then you go back."

"Master, I think it's unfair." Li Shimin suddenly came out of the crowd. He was not even an official here. He was able to come here because he was favored by Yang Guang.

"What's the matter with the people?" Yang Guang asked gently.

"The Master, the proofreader is famous for his servants, but Chai Shao can only live in Kyoto, and there is no Prince Mogude to steal the bride." Li Shimin shouted: "The proofreader has received the priest's palace examination for his contributions. But Chai Shao can only watch it with a glance?"

"The people of the people must not be rude." Li Yuan whispered.

Li Shimin said it was not respectful. What was surprising was that Yang Guang was not angry and just asked, "Your sister has not been married yet, you have already spoken for Chai Shao."

Li Shimin blushed a little, "Master, Shimin only wants to give Chai Shao a chance."

Chai Shao went out and said, "The emperor, the empress, dare not compete with the proofreader."

Yang Guang said lightly: "Don't dare. Instead of not wanting?"

Chai Shao blushed, but he had to say that Yang Guang had already seen his original intention. He was born in a general and had good martial arts skills. His grandfather, the general of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and his father, Duke Lujun, he practiced martial arts since he was a child. When he was a young man, he became the prince of Yuande, and he was a company. But this was for nearly ten years. Others could always get an official position when they were studying with the prince, but he, the one who accompanied the prince, studied with the prince, died. After Prince Yuande died, he was even more idle and bored, but he was suffering from the opportunity. Li Shimin had a good relationship with him, so how could he not see his intention? This time, Xiao Buyi was dispensable, but it was an opportunity that Chai Shao prayed for for many years and could not get it!

Who can tell the fate of a person? Of course, he didn't know that Xiao Buyi was forced to do so, so he could only sigh that Xiao Buyi's life was so good.

Seeing Chai Shao's silence, Yang Guang looked at Li Shimin and waved his hand and said, "Since that's the case, Chai Shao and Xiao Buyi compete with arrows, and those with excellent archery skills enter the next round of palace examinations."

Although everyone was silent, they looked at each other, thinking that this saint was inconsistent and was difficult to figure out.

Queen Xiao said anxiously: "Master, the commoner..."

"No need to say more." Yang Guang said lightly: "If even Chai Shao can't compare to those who can make a name for their servants and shoot Mogude with one arrow, it's better not to be accused of this official. Xiao Buyi, what do you think?"

Xiao Buyi didn't want to fight, but when she saw Empress Xiao's anxious expression, she felt a warm feeling in her heart. From beginning to end, Empress Xiao never thought of him, just because he was Xiao Dapeng's son, and he tried his best to win opportunities for him. In any case, he could not disappoint Empress Xiao this time. No matter whether he is Emperor Gaozu of Tang or Emperor Taizong of Tang, whether he is Qianniu ready or possessed by Qianniu, he doesn't give him Xiao Buyi's face, he really has no need to give him the other side.

"The common man has no objection to the emperor."

When Li Shimin heard this, he patted Chai Shao's arm excitedly and whispered: "Be careful, don't let the gutter capsize." Xiao Buyi had already heard Li Shimin's words. He knew that Li Shimin was not optimistic about him, and smiled and said, "I don't know how Mr. Chai wants to compete?"

"If you have to follow Lord Su's instructions, how dare Chai Shao make the decision." Chai Shao then looked at the competitor in front of him seriously, spared him a handsome and handsome man, claiming that he was not bad at riding and shooting. However, when Xiao Buyi saw his eyes bright, he also put away his contempt.

"I ordered people to put two targets out of a hundred steps. You run from left and right to the flag-raising soldiers to shoot arrows. Do you have any objections to the bull's eye?" Su Wei shook his head secretly, not knowing how to deal with it. According to his original intention, Xiao Buyi passed three levels in a row, and was so glorious that he could also get in the hands of the battle. Unexpectedly, the troubles of the situation disrupted his plan.

"Chai Shao obeyed the instructions of the Lord." Chai Shao was full of confidence.

Xiao Buyi nodded, "Mr. Su, I didn't prepare a bow and arrow."

Su Wei smiled and said, "The horse's bow and arrow have been prepared long ago. I wonder how many stones of bow and arrow the proofreader uses?" Just as he waved his hand, soldiers came over with the bow and arrow, allowing the two of them to choose the bow and arrow.

Longbows can be divided into soft and hard. Soft bows do not require too much force. Seeing Chai Shao staring at his actions, Xiao Buyi took Zhang soft bow casually. Although Chai Shao didn't want to be underestimated, he still couldn't help asking when he saw him take Zhang soft bow. "I don't know how many hard bows the proofreader pulls on?"

Xiao Buyi smiled, "I only eat but don't draw a bow."

Chai Shao took Zhang Liangshi's hard bow and smiled and said, "The proofreader is too humble."

In modern times, one stone is basically more than one hundred pounds. Chai Shao took two hard bows at will, which means that he kept his back, not only this strength. Two stones require more than two hundred pounds of pulling. It is rare. The soldiers who offered the long bow all looked admiring, and of course they all looked a little contempt for Xiao Buyi. This kid also looks tough, so how can he draw soft bows?

Xiao Buyi took a bag of arrows and carried them behind him. When he saw Chai Shao not taking a quiver, he only took a long arrow out and said curiously: "Young Master Chai. Why did you only get one arrow?"

Chai Shao smiled and said, "If you want to hit the bull's eye, I am enough to be an arrow. The proofreader took a bag of arrows, but are you afraid that one shot would not hit?"

Xiao Buyi said ashamedly: "I don't draw bows frequently, nor are I good at archery skills, I'm afraid I will miss it."

Chai Shao shook his head and said lightly: "The proofreader is too humble."

Su Wei shook his head when he saw it. Chai Shao said it a little bit bluntly, that is, he released a strong domineering spirit, also called confidence. But why does this Xiao Buyi look like a plague chicken?

The two of them were ready and turned on the horses. The horses rode their wings apart and stood opposite each other, while the target stood about a hundred steps from the middle of the two, that is, the targets and the targets formed a triangle.

The flag-holding officer was in the middle of the two. As soon as the flag fell, Chai Shao had already urged his horse to run straight, and Xiao Buyi was the same, not behind.

Chai Shao ran away with his horse, biting the sharp arrow with his teeth and stretching out his hands to tie the reins. He was not faster than the horse's ground, but the speed of the horse will have different meanings in people's minds. If they hit the bull's eye, as long as they shoot an arrow faster, they will certainly be better than the horse's archery technique. He was afraid that Xiao Buyi would use the arrogance of the army. He had been waiting for this opportunity for nearly ten years, so he would definitely not be able to make any mistakes.

The two of them intersected. Although Chai Shao rode the horse with all his strength, he and Xiao Buyi arrived at the side of the flag-holder almost at the same time. Chai Shao had already taken the arrow and pulled the bow the moment he turned his head to look at the target, his eyes were stern. The horse passed the flag-holder's moment.

When the arrow was shot, Chai Shao smiled and knew that the arrow was sure to take it.

There was also a sneer behind him, followed by a tingling sound. Li Shimin was waiting to cheer, and his smile had already condensed on his face. The smile that Chai Shao had appeared was also blown away by the north wind, and he couldn't believe what was happening in front of him.

He shot an arrow, but found that he suddenly changed direction in an oblique manner, just because another arrow hit his own shaft and cut off his sharp arrow! How could this be possible!

The soldier holding the flag in the distance raised the flag high and signaled that he could hit the bull's eye with an arrow. It was Xiao Buyi's soldier! Xiao Buyi shot two arrows? How did he do this? It was not uncommon for him to shoot the bull's eye with one arrow, but he shot his own right arrow with another arrow. Is he a human? This is much more difficult than a hundred steps to penetrate the Yangyang!

While Chai Shao was in a daze, Xiao Buyi was already riding his horse and whispering when he passed by Chai Shao's horse, "Young Master Chai will remember to bring one more arrow in the next competition."

After saying this, he hung up his longbow, went to the quiver, turned over and dismounted, walked slowly to the Wude Hall, and bowed deeply, "Master, I am lucky to be the bull's eye, so I will go back and forth."

He said that he was humble, but no one thought he was lucky. Xiao Buyi's method of shooting arrows with arrows was unprecedented, but they knew that this difficulty was no less than three arrows. Xiao Buyi could understand the spirit! They only knew archery and equestrianism, but they did not know that Xiao Buyi had not been cut off for a day in practice of the Yi Jin Jing. Others were smart and diligent, and almost used their skills to eat and sleep to practice the Yi Jin Jing. Now his eyes, ears, touch and senses have reached an unprecedented peak. He was also rarely touched and keen for the affairs around him. His power reached its limit. Not to mention that he could detect it from close range, even the slight movement of the flying snow ants was clearly perceived. Otherwise, Chai Shao would shoot archery quickly and with his usual ability, he would definitely not be able to hit it.

Su Wei finally woke up from the shock and quickly stepped forward and said, "Master, the proofreader's archery technique is simply amazing. He shoots arrows with arrows, one bow and two arrows. The old minister has lived for so many years. This is the first time he has seen this archery technique. It seems that the person he has chosen by the priest is indeed worthy of his reputation."

He put the big hat of knowing people on Yang Guang's head. Yang Guang was quite satisfied and smiled at the corner of his mouth, "Su Aiqing. Have you passed the proofreader of the proofreader?"

"It's over," Su Wei nodded repeatedly, "Sage, the ancients had Yangyouji's hundred steps through Yang. In the Battle of Jin and Chuling, Wei Qi, the general of Jin State, killed a single arrow, and made great achievements for Chu State. Now, Xiao Buyi, a proofreader, shot arrows with arrows. He will definitely become a famous general of the Sui Dynasty in the future. He will loyally guard my Great Sui..."

"Since Lord Su has heard the allusion of penetrating the poplar land with a hundred steps, I wonder if I have heard of penetrating the seven letters?" Chai Shao was standing behind Su Wei with a blush on his face.

He was not excited, but ashamed. He was dissatisfied with defeat, and only felt that Xiao Bu was taking advantage of the situation. He was young and energetic, but he felt that he wanted to regain his face.

Su Wei coughed, "Chai Shao, what do you want to say? How can I not know about shooting through the seven-shot? I thought that Pan Dang was not obeying Yang Youji's archery technique back then, and he had to compare with Yang Youji. Their competitions were all made by arrows, regardless of the upper and lower points. But the target was dead, and some people thought of a way to let them shoot poplar leaves. Pan Dang did not hit, so he proposed the method of shooting breastplate. Pan Dang pierced through the five-shot armor with one arrow, but Yang Youji shot through the seven-shot armor. Did you not accept it just now? Only then did you want to imitate Pan Dang's method?"
