Chapter 225: Horse Archery Contest (2)
While Li Yanqing and Niu Gao were talking, Yue Fei, Wang Gui, and Tang Huai walked over quickly, "Old Li, where did you slip away again?" ”
Wang Gui grabbed Li Yanqing's neck from behind, "I have been missing for half a month without knowing it, this time I want to be honest?" ”
"I went to Qufu to worship the saints, didn't I leave a note for you?"
Li Yanqing flicked his shoulders and arms lightly, throwing Wang Gui from behind to front, although Wang Gui was on guard, he still didn't hold on, he was thrown on his back and faced the sky, he got up and said stupidly: "It's the same as the truth, who will believe your words."

"Don't ask, your brother, Yanqing is measured, what should be told to us, he won't hide it."
"Lao Yue still understands me!"
Li Yanqing smiled and said, "I will have the opportunity to tell you in the future, but not now." ”
As he spoke, Li Yanqing caught a glimpse of the steel bone fan in Tang Huai's hand, which was the fan in Gao Ya, Li Yanqing gave it to Tang Huai, and saw that Tang Huai couldn't put it down.
"Old soup, is the fan any good?"
Tang Huai unfolded the fan and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Do you want to make two moves?" ”
"I'm coming!"
Wang Gui jumped up and punched Tang Huai noodles door, this punch was fast and powerful, Li Yanqing couldn't help but cheer, "Good punch!" ”
He was pleased to find that Wang Gui was making rapid progress, and the lazy little naughty boy when he was a child was no longer the same, this was the result of the master's teaching according to his aptitude, Tang Huai picked up the fan, picked Wang Gui's fist apart, and his body turned slightly, like a light cloud, his body had turned to Wang Gui's side, and the fan in his hand was incomparably fast, 'Bang! The ground hit Wang Gui in the back, and Wang Gui stumbled and stumbled forward a few steps.
"Stinky boy, you dare to really do it!"
Wang Gui roared angrily, but pounced like a scoundrel and pushed Tang Huai to the ground.
Li Yanqing and Yue Fei hurriedly stepped forward to pull the two of them away, Tang Huai's face was flushed, and he glared at Wang Gui and said, "If I really do it, your backbone will be broken long ago." ”
"Stop arguing!"
Li Yanqing said angrily: You two used to quarrel, but now you are fighting, next time I go out for another month, you should use your weapons. ”
"Originally, this kid couldn't afford to lose!" Tang Huai muttered.
"Who can't afford to lose!"
Wang Gui straightened his nose and shouted: "I am bare-handed, but you are holding an iron fan, you have the ability to lose the fan and beat it!" ”
"I invited Lao Li to come over and make a move, you jumped up by yourself, do you blame me?"
Wang Gui was speechless for a while, Li Yanqing hurriedly pulled Wang Gui aside, and laughed in a low voice: "I will also give you a secret weapon." ”
"What's good?" Wang Gui immediately threw Tang Huai out of the clouds.
Li Yanqing took out a small box from his arms, opened the box, and inside was an iron ring, "What is this?" Wang Gui asked puzzled.
"You watch!"
Li Yanqing brought the iron ring to the index finger of his right hand, clenched his fist, and gently pressed the ring with his thumb, only to hear a 'click' sound, an iron needle jumped out, startling Wang Gui, Li Yanqing smiled and said: "This iron needle is hollow, the ring contains venom or anesthetic, a punch stabs the human body, the venom is immediately injected into the opponent's body, and you can save your life at a critical moment." ”
Tang Huai looked at it from the side, he liked this kind of secret weapon the most, and immediately felt itchy, "Lao Li, he doesn't need it, give it to me!" ”
"Whoever said I didn't need it, I just needed it." Wang Gui snatched the ring and glared at Tang Huai.
Li Yanqing spread his hands, "I have already said that it is good to give it to Lao Gui, you can discuss it with him yourself!" ”
Tang Huai immediately hugged Wang Gui's shoulders, and the smile on his face was so sincere that it melted people, "Agui, do you remember when we wore open crotch pants together?" We caught more toads than whoever caught them, and you won ......"
The two enemies went to the side to discuss, Li Yanqing walked back with a smile, and Yue Fei gave a thumbs up, "What a move!" ”
"The two of them have always been fighting at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed, but I lost a hidden weapon in vain."
"Those who can work hard! Anyway, it's useless for you to hold that thing, so it's better to be a favor. ”
"What do you call that thing of mine?"
Li Yanqing smiled dumbly, and asked again: "Is the fifth brother also practicing archery here?" ”
Yue Fei shook his head, "I'm here to practice with Master Xu. ”
Li Yanqing suddenly realized that their leader was the golden gun general Xu Ning, "This is a good opportunity!"
"Yes! The master told me that if I have the opportunity to meet Master Xu, I must pester him and let him give me good guidance on my marksmanship. ”
"Will he?"
"He heard that we were the master's apprentices and took great care of us, and he said that the person who was most interested in us was you."
As soon as Yue Fei's words fell, Niu Gao said on the side: "Master Xu is here!" ”
Everyone got up one after another, only to see a burly middle-aged man walking in, with deep eyebrows and a high nose, and a very handsome appearance, he was about forty years old, but he walked vigorously, no less than a young man.
Everyone bowed down and saluted together, "See Master Xu!" ”
Xu Ning smiled and waved his hand, "I heard that Li Shaojun is back, who is it?" ”
His eyes fell on Li Yanqing, who he knew everyone else except Li Yanqing.
Li Yanqing bowed and saluted, "The student is!" ”
Xu Ning looked at Li Yanqing and asked with a smile: "I heard that Zhou Jiaotou passed the copper bow and iron arrows to Shaojun, but did you bring them?" ”
Li Yanqing shook his head, "Copper bows and iron arrows are rarely used, and I usually use this bow." ”
He handed the leopard head bow to Xu Ning, Xu Ning took the bow and tried it, and said with a faint smile: "This bow is good, it can be called a high-quality bow, but Li Shaojun thinks this bow can replace the copper bow and iron arrows?" ”
"Back to Master Xu, there are only ten iron arrows, and they can't be used easily."
"Then you're wrong!"
The smile on Xu Ning's face disappeared, he looked at Li Yanqing and said solemnly: "Although there are only ten iron arrows, there is no limit to the copper bow, in the past, your master also used the copper bow to shoot ordinary arrows, the speed is fast, the killing distance is long, the farthest killing range is one hundred and eighty steps, the power is very powerful, you should inherit the advantage of the master, otherwise it will be meaningless for your master to pass on the copper bow and iron arrows to you." ”
Li Yanqing bowed down and said: "Master Xu's teachings, students remember them!" ”
Xu Ning was unequivocal, "I don't want to listen to any nonsense like 'remembering', if you agree with what I said, then go and practice the bronze bow now, if you don't agree, then I won't ask you another question in the future, you decide for yourself!" ”
After speaking, he urged the soldiers to train archery and no longer asked Li Yanqing.
The reason why Li Yanqing doesn't want to use a copper bow is because he is very proficient in using a leopard head bow, and it has reached the level of unity of human bows, and he feels that he can make another breakthrough with a leopard head bow, but if he practices a copper bow, it is equivalent to toppling down and starting all over again, and there are still ten days before the bow and horse competition, is it still too late?
Li Yanqing hesitated for a long time, he finally decided to accept the challenge, rode back to the dormitory to get the bronze bow, and he started a new training with the copper bow again.
........
Outside the Cuiwei Hall on the Xinggang of Yanfu Palace, dozens of palace maids and eunuchs trembled, did not dare to speak and cough, and even walked with their legs high and lightly landed, they were afraid that they would accidentally make any noise, which would anger the emperor in the hall and cause death.
In the past few days, Zhao Ji, the Son of Heaven, was furious because of Yang Jian's death, and he had sent Wang Huang in the Imperial History to Yunzhou a few days ago to investigate the cause of Yang Jian's death, and Zhao Ji was a little reluctant to believe that a group of rabble had the ability to kill the Taifu who commanded an army of 20,000.
Zhao Ji was already more or less suspicious of Liang Shicheng, after all, Liang Shicheng was the biggest beneficiary of Yang Jian's death, but there was no evidence for this kind of thing, and Zhao Ji could only keep his anger in his heart.
At this time, a eunuch cautiously stepped forward and reported: "Your Majesty, Taiwei Tong is asking for an audience outside the palace!" ”
Zhao Ji was silent for a moment and said, "Announce him in!" ”
After a while, Tong Guan hurriedly walked in, knelt down and saluted: "Old slave Tong Guan knocks to see Your Majesty!" ”
"Tong Aiqing is exempt from courtesy."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Tong Aiqing has already heard about Mrs. Yang's affairs!"
"Back to Your Majesty, the Privy Council has also received a detailed report of the battle, and the old slave knows it."
"Tell me, then, what's going on here?"
"The old slave only dares to say a little bit of his opinion."
"Say it! I want to hear it. ”
"Back to Your Majesty, the arrow that shot Taifu Yang to death is an armor-piercing arrow commonly used in the army, but it was actually shot from the back of the head, which is the only thing that the old slave feels strange."
Zhao Ji suddenly became interested, sat up straight and asked, "What does that mean?" ”
"This means that Taifu Yang was not shot by a stray arrow, but was ambushed from behind, and the strength was very great, and he actually shot through the head, which can only be done with two stone bows, and Song Jiang does not have this ability."
"Tong Aiqing means that someone shot Mrs. Yang in the name of Song Jiang?"
"Your Majesty, things won't be so coincidental, after all, there was a fierce battle at that time, and the old slave deduced that it was Song Jiang's henchman who was ambushed on the other side, because the thief leader Chao Gai had just died in the hands of Yang Taifu, it was obvious that Song Jiang wanted to take this opportunity to buy people's hearts, and it was reasonable to shoot Yang Taifu in his name."
'Bang! Zhao Ji slammed his fist on the table, gritted his teeth and said: "I must sweep away Liangshan and execute the thief leader Song Jiang Lingchi!" ”
"Your Majesty, it is late autumn now, winter is coming, it is not suitable to fight, and so on next spring, Your Majesty can adjust the elite soldiers to sweep away Liangshan to prevent future troubles!"
Zhao Ji nodded, and asked again, "What happened to Aiqing when he saw me?" ”
"The old slave has come to ask His Majesty for the Bow Horse Race."
"Just follow the plan from the last time!" Zhao Ji was not very interested in the archery competition.
"Your Majesty, Liaodong and Western Xia also want to send people to participate in this bow and horse competition."
Zhao Ji was stunned for a moment, there is still such a thing?
"Your Majesty, it was they who took the initiative to bring it up, it is actually a challenge, if we refuse, it will appear that we are not confident, it seems that our skills are not as good as others, and the old slave feels that we can let them participate."
Zhao Ji paced back and forth in the hall with his hands in his hands, and after a long time, he said coldly: "Since they want to participate, let them participate, but you also have to choose the best archers of the Great Song Dynasty to fight against them, I hope to see an exciting scene." ”
"The old slave obeys!"
