Li Yanqing has two swords, one sword is a thick-ridged short sword, which he usually carries with him and puts it in a horse bag, and the other sword is the forbidden army ceremonial sword obtained when he participated in the Shizi Army, the sword is two feet eight inches long and weighs three catties, and he has always hung it on the wall.

The magpie never touches it, and Sister-in-law Ju and Uncle Zhong won't touch it, but now that it is on her desk, needless to say, it must be Xiaoqing who pulled out the sword from the wall.

Li Yanqing suddenly became interested, he knew that Aunt Hu actually knew martial arts, but she never showed it, could it be that Xiaoqing had learned a few hands from her father or grandmother?

At this moment, there was a chattering sound at the door, Li Yanqing hurriedly put away the sword, only to see the two little ladies talking and laughing and walking in, but saw Li Yanqing sitting in the room, and the two of them were stunned at the same time.

The magpie scratched his head in confusion, "When did the little official come back, why don't I know?" ”

"I just came back, is the magpie teaching Qing'er to read?"

"Qing'er also wanted to see the story of the Great Sage's Monster Hunt, so I taught her to read, and Qing'er knew thirty words in one morning, much faster than me."

Li Yanqing nodded, and said to Qing'er: "Every word must be written and read repeatedly, so that you can remember, the thirty words you learned in the morning must be memorized thoroughly before going to bed, otherwise you will forget most of them tomorrow." ”

Qing'er hurriedly gave a blessing, "Thank you for the teaching!" ”

Li Yanqing saw that she called herself 'Brother Qing' on the road yesterday, and now she changed her name to be a petty official, it is estimated that this little lady is thin-skinned and a little embarrassed to speak, he doesn't care, and said to her gently: "Today I put your household registration on the top of one of my clan sisters, she died of illness at a very young age, but she didn't cancel the account, from now on your name is Li Sanniang, don't forget!" ”

At this time, Qing'er had already found that the sword on the table was gone, her face was red, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, lowered her head and whispered: "Thank you, junior official, no!" Thank you, big brother, Qing'er remembered. ”

Li Yanqing took out the sword and handed it to her along with the scabbard on the wall, "If you like it, I'll give it to you." ”

"Thank you, big brother!"

Qing'er took the sword, she also has a sword, which is lighter than this sword, but unfortunately it was taken away by the officers and soldiers, this sword is not bad, but it is a little uncomfortable for her, but since it was given to her by the eldest brother, she is embarrassed to refuse.

..........

At night, Li Yanqing sat at the table reading a book, at this time, the magpie came in with a bowl of tea, Li Yanqing took the tea bowl and asked with a smile: "How is Qing'er?" ”

"She's writing! But seriously, over and over again, you can learn a thousand words in such a month. ”

"It's not so fast, it's not enough to just know words, you have to be able to read sentences and write sentences, and when you finish learning the 900 sentences I teach you to read and recognize words, it will take at least half a year."

"That's faster than me, too!" The magpie muttered quietly.

"She seems to know martial arts?" Li Yanqing asked tentatively as if nothing had happened.

The magpie hesitated slightly, not knowing whether to say it or not, Li Yanqing said lightly: "Do you still want to hide it from me?" ”

The magpie scolded herself, she looked back at the door, stepped forward and lowered her voice: "She is so good at dancing swords!" The magpie's eyes were glazed with only a bright light, but she forbade me to tell anyone. ”

"Why?"

"She said that her father was arrested because he knew martial arts, and she didn't want to follow her father's old path again."

Li Yanqing was a little surprised, Qing'er was only eight years old, she actually had a sense of seeing through the vicissitudes of the world, Li Yanqing suddenly realized that although Qing'er didn't speak much, she was actually much more sensible than he imagined.

...........

Time passed day by day, Li Yanqing spent most of his time practicing his master's bronze bow and iron arrows, and his strength also increased day by day, from the beginning he could only open the bow three times at a time, gradually increased to five times, and only ten days later it increased to seven times.

Thinking of the pain when he practiced opening the bow before, but now it was much easier, Li Yanqing finally realized that opening the bow three times is actually an extremely important threshold, and it will be much easier for him to improve again after crossing this hurdle.

Thinking about this, he was more motivated to practice archery, leaving early and returning late every day, practicing archery skills in the grove behind his home, and his understanding of archery became deeper and deeper.

However, Li Yanqing still has a little regret, although he gave the sword to Qing'er, Qing'er has never practiced the sword again, and spends most of his day reading and reading with magpies.

This afternoon, he went to Lushan School to greet Master, and when he came out of the school, it was dusk, Li Yanqing came to Lushan Tavern, and found a seat by the window on the second floor to sit down.

The shopkeeper stepped forward and hugged his fists and smiled: "Rare guest! Welcome Xie Yuan to visit the store. ”

"The shopkeeper is too polite, I'm just here for a light meal, if it's convenient, bring me three dishes and a pot of wine, the dishes are casual, and the wine wants your best bottle of fragrance!"

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "Don't worry, the little officials will definitely let the little officials taste the best wine and food in our store." ”

The shopkeeper walked quickly, Li Yanqing looked out the window, but he was thinking about Anyang's exam, today is January 25th, in terms of time, the martial arts exam should be over the day before yesterday, but he has no news, and he doesn't know how the three good friends did in the exam? And the master's injury, it should be healed!

Not long after, the bartender brought wine and food, Li Yanqing poured himself a glass of wine, poured himself a drink, just drank a few glasses of wine, and the street outside 'bang!' There was a loud bang on the ground, startling the drinkers, who turned their heads to look out into the street, and then 'Bang! Bang! There was a continuous sound of artillery fire.

Everyone ran to the window to look, Li Yanqing also looked over, only to see dozens of cannons in front of Wang's grocery store, the guys were busy lighting it, and Wang Wanhao, who was standing on the side, was even more smiling and couldn't close his mouth.

Li Yanqing's heart moved, and he hurriedly put down his chopsticks and ran over, and Wang Wanhao waved his hand to Li Yanqing and said with a smile: "Brother Qing'er, good news!" ”

"Outside the king, but Agui has been promoted in the exam?" Li Yanqing asked urgently.

Wang Wanhao grinned and said: "Tang Yuanwai just received the flying pigeon from Anyang, and my Agui High School won the second place!" ”

"Ahh

Li Yanqing was suddenly surprised and delighted, Wang Gui actually ranked second in high school, it seemed that the book he bought for him had worked, he hurriedly congratulated Wang Wanhao, Wang Wanhao laughed loudly, and was extremely proud in his heart, who said that his grandson was not good, although he usually did not say anything, but every time he gave himself a long face at a critical time.

At this time, Li Yanqing asked with concern, "What about Tang Huai and Yue Fei?" ”

"They are also raised, Tang Huai is the fifth in the exam, the little brother of the Yue family seems to be the third, and the first place is the son of Xiangzhou Tuanlian, it is obviously a relationship, in fact, my family Agui should be the first, it is really hateful!"

Wang Wanhao was originally overjoyed, but when he thought of this, he was suddenly extremely angry in his heart, obviously his grandson was the first Wu Jieyuan, but he was knocked out by the children of the official eunuchs, how unfair this was.

Li Yanqing thought that Yue Fei could get the first, but he took the third test, needless to say, he must have been dragged back by riding and shooting, although shooting a crossbow can add points, but after all, riding and shooting is the main item.

"When will they come back?"

"Agui still has to drink with Zhizhou, it's busy, it is estimated that it will be a few days! Brother Qing, I want to celebrate with a good wine when I go back, you must come. ”

"Of course, I'll be there."

At this moment, firecrackers were also set off in front of the Tang Inn, and a large red banner was raised, 'Congratulations to Tang Huai High School for the fifth place in the martial arts examination!' ’

Tang Lian stood at the door and began to accept the congratulations of the villagers with a smile on his face, Wang Wanhao was stunned for a moment, turned around and ran back to the store, only to hear him yell: "The banner from last year is still gone?" Find out for me! ”

.........

Two days later, Wang Gui, Tang Huai and Yue Fei returned to their hometowns in a grand manner, although the gold content of the martial arts was far less than that of the imperial examination, but the Wang family and the Tang family had a huge influence in Xiaohe Township, and the two families each took out thousands of dollars to build momentum.

Under the temptation of heavy money, Lushan Town still formed a grand occasion of empty alleys for thousands of people, and thousands of villagers welcomed the three martial artists who had been released from the test to return to their hometowns with honor, and the atmosphere was extremely warm, no less than the grand occasion when Li Yanqing returned to his hometown after taking the exam.

In Lushan Restaurant, hundreds of guests gathered together to celebrate Wang Gui, Tang Huai and Yue Fei Wuju High School.

Wang Gui's face was red, and his face was filled with the joy of success, as if he was still immersed in great glory.

"Speaking of which, we all have to thank Lao Li for the book he bought, the art of war exam questions are all on it, and the three of us are estimated to have scored full marks, and several candidates are illiterate, sitting there in a daze, it's so fucking interesting!"

Tang Huai also laughed and said, "I have counted, there are a total of eight people who are illiterate. ”

Yue Fei was not as proud as the two of them, he whispered to Li Yanqing: "This martial arts exam is really messy, everyone has it, and many things make people angry, the first place in the exam, Luo Hui, is an officer in his thirties, and Luo Tuanlian's age is about the same, it is obviously a substitute exam, but the examiner doesn't care about anyone, and the candidates' martial arts are generally very bad, most of the candidates are riding on horses and shooting arrows stationably, not riding and shooting at all, speaking of which, the disciples taught by the master are good at riding and shooting, but unfortunately only Huang An, Li Bo and Zhang Long passed the exam. ”

"That's also very good, there are only ten places in total, and the disciples brought out by the master will take six of them, by the way, how is the master's injury?"

"The master is still healing in Anyang, he told you not to worry, he will go back to the capital directly, and everyone will see you in the capital when the time comes."

Wang Gui stretched out his hand and put his hand on Li Yanqing's shoulder and said with a smile: "Old Li, you don't know yet!" We have already been admitted to the military department of martial arts in Anyang, and we are required to report to the capital before the tenth day of February. ”

"It's so early, it's March in previous years!"

"It was said that we were going to conduct three months of intensive training in advance, and we discussed when to enter Beijing, to be honest, I was a little impatient."
