Chapter 89 Archery Trial Palace (2)

Even Tong Guan, who knew Sun Tu's martial arts, was shocked by his performance, not to mention others. Even those competitors subconsciously cheered loudly, while the emperor Zhao Ji nodded frequently: "This Sun Tu is really a tiger general, and it is a blessing for me to the Song Dynasty!"

However, after all, he was just a literary emperor. He could not be too interested in martial arts, nor could he tell the difference. Therefore, his reaction was much more dull than Tong Guan and the others. He even looked at Tong Guan for a moment before suddenly asking: "Shumi Tong, this is the purpose of your purpose inviting me to the Third Class Hospital today?"

Tong Guan, who was a little proud, suddenly felt shocked when he heard this, but he did not deny it, but just bowed and replied: "Sage is wise, my little thoughts are indeed impossible to hide from you. This Sun Tu was recommended by me, but he is indeed outstanding in martial arts and should be used by the saints."

Zhao Ji just smiled and had no intention of pursuing the slightest thoughts of his subordinates, because he believed that only in this way could they do their own good work for themselves, who would have no selfish desires?

When the king and his ministers spoke, Sun Tu had already dismounted and returned to Wang Fangnian, waiting for his next order. At the same time, he felt a little excited. Not only others, but also himself, did not expect that he would perform so well just now. He originally thought that it was the limit to shoot all arrows at the bull's eye with his shooting skills during this period, but at that moment, his body risked turning around and shooting without obeying the command. Now he was a little scared when he thought about it. If these arrows were shot in the air, it would be embarrassing.

But judging from the results, his physical reaction was extremely correct, which also proved that Sun Tu is a powerful character who can perform very long in big scenes.

It was not until Wang Fangnian spoke that Sun Tu completely calmed down. He only heard him say, "Sun Tu, your archery skills are indeed outstanding, but you don't know how strong you are? Can a single stone be opened?" According to the ancient and modern times, a stone in the Song Dynasty is equivalent to a hundred pounds of later generations.

Sun Tu nodded and replied, "I can."

While speaking, someone sent a longbow that was much bigger than the previous Badou Bow. Sun Tu immediately took it, took a few breaths, then he rolled the arrow open, easily pulled it away, and hit the bull's eye in front again. Without anyone shouting to stop, he shot five arrows in a row, and the arrows were all bull's eye.

It was not until this time that Wang Fangnian shouted with satisfaction, and then asked someone to send a hard crossbow to Sun Tu for him to try to pull it away. This time, Sun Tu couldn't have pulled the two stone hard crossbows with his strength just by hand, so he stepped on the crossbow, held the bowstring with both hands, and pulled the bowstring full with his waist and back.

Such behavior naturally attracted everyone's praise again. Anyone who knows a little about military affairs knows that those who can drive two stone crossbows are considered elites in the army. Even Zhou Jin's face became more serious than before: "Is he not weaker than me in terms of strength?"

Wang Fangnian glanced at Tong Guan from the emperor, and saw that he had not expressed his words, and asked again: "Can you drive the Sanshi's powerful crossbow?"

Now the crossbow used by the Song Dynasty has actually reached the limit of single-soldier combat. As for the crossbow of three stones, it usually requires someone to cooperate to use it. It is not something that can be pulled by a single person at all, and it can only be used when defending the city. After all, it is a force of 300 kilograms, and it is not a heavy object of 300 kilograms. Pulling a bow is much more difficult than this.

Sun Tu only hesitated for a moment, and nodded and said, "I am willing to give it a try!" He also wanted to see where his limit was. Today was just a test.

Zhou Jin tried to pull the three-stone crossbow just now, but even he failed. At this time, Sun Tu challenged him again, and naturally everyone was worried about him. Soon, this heavy crossbow that was half a person tall and weighed about a hundred pounds was carried to Sun Tu to see how he used it.

Sun Tu felt a little murmur when he saw this bulky guy, but after bowing, he tried to kick the pedal, clasped the bowstring tightly with both hands, and adjusted his breathing before he began to exert force and pull upwards.

In a creaking sound that made people feel sour, the bowstring, which was not moving at all, was pulled and raised slowly upwards. Everyone's eyes were concentrated on Sun Tu and the powerful crossbow, and even Zhao Ji had a serious face. Even though he was not good at martial arts, he was still completely attracted to this scene.

After feeling a force that was constantly pulling the bowstring in reverse to block him, Sun Tu suddenly had the idea of ​​not admitting defeat. He shouted, kicked down with all his strength on his feet, and his hands suddenly pulled up, and even burst out with unprecedented force.

The bowstring was pulled full by him, and finally he opened his breath and pulled it completely as he exhaled, and hung it on. This powerful crossbow that required two people to work together was actually pulled open by Sun Tu with the power of a single person!

"Okay! What a magical power!" Everyone could no longer bear it and shouted loudly. Even Zhao Ji clapped his hands and applauded: "It's a hero!"

Sun Tu was gasping there at this time, and after a while, he recovered and bowed to the emperor, "Your Majesty, the people are so ugly." Then he bowed to Wang Fangnian: "I am lucky to be unfair to my fate."

Wang Fangnian stroked his beard and nodded, "Sun Tu, you are indeed skilled in martial arts and can afford a top-notch evaluation." As soon as these words were said, it means that he must be able to pass the shooting test palace court this time, and it is reasonable to get an official.

Just as Sun Tu bowed and thanked him again and wanted to retreat to the crowd, he called the general but said: "Sun Tu, come and talk." This made everyone present stunned. Then many people showed envy. It was obvious that the emperor was interested in him, which was a great good fortune.

Sun Tu immediately took the order and stood in the audience to pay homage to the emperor again: "Sun Tu, the grass-roots, bowed to His Majesty."

"Sun Tu, you're not saying this." Zhao Ji looked at the young man for a few glances and suddenly spoke, but surprised the people around him. Sun Tu's movements were also frozen, and he didn't know where he was wrong. But soon, the emperor revealed the answer: "You should call yourself a minister now."

This made Sun Tuda feel relieved and thanked him again. At this time, Zhao Ji once again turned his attention to Tong Guan: "Shumi Tong, you have indeed made great contributions to the country this time, but if Sun Tu really wants to make contributions to me, the Song Dynasty, he will not be able to achieve his martial arts skills. Can you understand the military affairs through writing?" The latter questioned Sun Tu.

Sun Tu immediately knew that this was the emperor's examination for him, but it was an extremely rare opportunity. You should know that the emperor was busy with all kinds of things. It was almost impossible for him to meet a few ministers except for court meetings. He could meet the emperor in a commoner's body, but many officials dreamed of having the honor.

However, he did not get confused because of this, but just replied in a low-key manner: "Your Majesty, I only understand both."

"Oh? It's rare." Zhao Ji nodded slightly to express his approval, and then said again: "Then I'll just take the exam for you." This made Tong Guan a little nervous. If Sun Tu failed to answer and satisfy the emperor, he might even be involved.

Originally, Tong Guan made this arrangement this time to let Zhao Ji see Sun Tu's ability, so that he could know how loyal he was to the king's affairs and to promote talents for the country. All Sun Tu's performance before was perfect, and he was very satisfied, but now such trivialities are not what he likes to see. After all, in his eyes, Sun Tu is far from enough in both literary talent and knowledge, so how could he satisfy the emperor again?

But Zhao Ji had already spoken, and he could not stop him. Even though Sun Tu was a little nervous at this time, he could only bite the bullet and say, "I ask Your Majesty to ask for the question."

"You, a martial artist, must be very unfamiliar with poetry, classics, and so I don't make things difficult for you. Just test your understanding of military affairs. Do you think our Song Dynasty and Liao Kingdom should get along with each other now? If you want to fight the Northern Expedition, how can you compete for the unsuccessful things of our ancestors? How much does it cost?" Zhao Ji carefully asked this series of questions.

After hearing these questions, Tong Guan's face changed suddenly, and his heart tightened!
