Li Yanqing stayed at home for three days and got drunk three times, but the third time was not really drunk, but his maternal grandfather came to Li Wencun under the pretext of sweeping his mother's grave and cheekily ran to Li Wen Village. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

On the fourth day, when Ding Yuanwai grabbed his son-in-law Li Daqi and was ready to talk about his grandson's marriage, Li Yanqing had quietly left Li Wencun and returned to Tangyin County.

Li Yanqing was admitted to the imperial examination and will go to Taixue to study, which means that he is no longer a student member of Tangyin County, but he is still Zhou Tong's apprentice, and there are still a few months before Taixue arrives, and he will use these months to practice riding and archery and marksmanship.

Early the next morning, Li Yanqing appeared on the school field on horseback, Zhou Tong was suddenly surprised and happy, he thought that Li Yanqing would no longer learn martial arts after winning Xie Yuan, but he didn't expect Li Yanqing to still come, which really made him feel deeply gratified.

Li Yanqing stepped forward and hugged his fists and said: "The apprentice will return after seven days, please punish the master!" ”

Zhou Tong smiled and said: "It's that I didn't calculate the time, I forgot that you still have to wait for the list, and you have to go back to your hometown to thank your master and sacrifice your mother, I don't blame you this time, but you haven't touched the bow for forty days, your riding and shooting are rusty?" ”

"The students are not rusty!"

Zhou Tong smiled: "It's not something you say if you are rusty, but you have to try it to know." ”

He then instructed the two students: "Go and prepare the moving target and release the sparrows!" ”

Li Yanqing picked up a one-and-a-half-stone bow and said with a smile: "The student is ready, please ask the master to solve the question!" ”

Zhou Tong smiled slightly: "Shoot thirteen sparrows in a hundred steps, you can do it?" ”

Back at the archery range, Li Yanqing felt full of energy, like a fish in water, he was full of spirit, and shouted: "Old Gui, give me a drum to cheer up!" ”

"Great!"

Wang Gui picked up the drumstick, the big drum rang out, Li Yanqing carried a pot of arrows, urged his beloved horse to snow sword with his legs, and galloped towards the arrow field.

He needs to warm up for a while, shoot a few arrows to fix the target, and slowly regain his senses.

．．．．．．

Zhou Tong looked at Li Yanqing in high spirits, but he was thinking about the professor plan for the last few months in his heart.

According to the previous plan, Li Yanqing would practice his marksmanship hard after he returned, but Zhou Tong was ready to change his plan.

They had been learning marksmanship for a few months before, but Li Yanqing's performance was always mediocre, and he could only compete with Wang Gui and Tang Huai, but there was a lot of gap compared to Yue Fei.

Yue Fei's marksmanship performance was very good, far surpassing everyone else.

Although this is related to the fact that Li Yanqing focuses most of his energy on his studies, after he finishes practicing in the afternoon, he devotes himself to his studies, while Yue Fei practices every day until late at night.

Zhou Tong knew that things were not so simple, he had been immersed in martial arts for decades, and he had practiced for ten years just to practice guns, and his kung fu was no less than archery, but his marksmanship was still far inferior to Xu Ning, another leader of the forbidden army, but his bronze bow and iron arrows were beyond Xu Ning's reach.

This is called the inch is short, the ruler is long, everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, for example, Yue Fei, Yue Fei's agility is poor, his eyesight and reaction are not even as good as Wang Gui, his riding and archery is also the worst among the four partners, it's not that he doesn't work hard, he works harder than anyone else, and he shoots the longest every day, but he just can't find the feeling, the talent is limited, and there is no way.

But Yue Fei has a kind of strength that is difficult for ordinary people to reach, he will practice something to the death, which is precisely the most needed quality for practicing marksmanship.

Practicing marksmanship is extremely boring, and it often takes several months or even a year to practice an action, and it is difficult to practice excellent marksmanship without Yue Fei's strength that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve.

And this is exactly Li Yanqing's weakness, he has a smart personality, good at improvisation, and has a transcendent talent for archery, Zhou Tong is still the first time to encounter, and he actually graduated in half a year, and his riding and archery level is so high, many people may not be able to achieve it even if they practice hard for a lifetime.

If he forced Li Yanqing to practice marksmanship like Yue Fei, it was likely to backfire, not only would he not be able to practice marksmanship well, but he would weaken his archery talent, which was the conclusion that Zhou Tong had reached after a year of observation.

Zhou Dong's mastery of apprenticeship is here, and he will train each apprentice according to their strengths, so that each apprentice can reach the ultimate in a certain aspect.

If Li Yanqing still left Zhou Tong with a regret, it is that Li Yanqing's strength is still slightly weaker, if he can pull two stone bows, then he can inherit his copper bow and iron arrows.

During Li Yanqing's absence, Zhou Tong thought about it for a month, and he finally decided to further tap Li Yanqing's archery talent in the next few months, and at the same time improve his strength and train him to become the first archery in the world.

As for marksmanship, unless Li Yanqing is willing to give up the imperial examination, he may still be able to reach his own level, otherwise he can only have mediocre marksmanship.

At this time, a student shouted: "Master, the county gentleman is here!" ”

Zhou Tong woke up from his contemplation, and when he turned around, he saw Jiang Zhixian walking briskly with a few entourage, Zhou Tong hurriedly stepped forward to salute, Jiang Dadao laughed, "Disturb the head of the Zhou sect!" ”

Zhou Tong has been in class for more than half a year, and Jiang Zhixian has never come, but today he came, and Zhou Tong realized that Jiang Zhixian was afraid that he had something important to look for.

He smiled and said, "I happen to be in the examination of student riding and shooting, the county gentleman might as well take a look together." ”

Jiang Zhixian was originally from the army, and when he heard that he was in the assessment of mounted archery, he was immediately very interested, and hurriedly stepped forward to take a closer look, only to see that Li Yanqing, the new branch Xie Yuan, was shooting at a fixed target.

He had personally assessed Li Yanqing's infantry bow, but he had never seen Li Yanqing riding and shooting, so he asked curiously: "How is Li Jieyuan's level of riding and shooting?" ”

Zhou Tong laughed in a low voice: "I can say a word to the county gentleman in private, I think that among the 800,000 forbidden troops in Tokyo, Li Yanqing's cavalry and archery level can completely enter the top ten." ”

'Ahh Jiang Zhixian exclaimed, and he looked at Li Yanqing in the field with wide eyes.

On the archery field, Li Yanqing galloped back and forth more than a dozen times, shot two rounds of fixed targets, and moved his shoulders and arms and bones, which was extremely important for riding and archery.

Li Yanqing's sharp gaze immediately shot to the target area 100 steps away from the right, and an arrow had been drawn from the quiver behind his shoulder, this is the detail that Zhou Dong taught him, don't bite the arrow in the mouth, then the arrow will not be smooth.

If you hold the bow in your left hand, the quiver is carried behind your right shoulder, and if you hold the bow in your right hand, the quiver is carried behind your left shoulder, so that the arrow can be drawn naturally, and the arrow will be shot smoothly.

At this time, Li Yanqing was holding a bow in his right hand, he opened his bow and set up an arrow, still waiting for the target on his horse, at this time two small black dots flew out, these are the two sparrows used as moving targets, a hundred steps away, the eyes are not good and may not be able to see, but Li Yanqing can see clearly.

He was not in a hurry, drew his bow on his galloping horse like a full moon, and shot an arrow at the western sparrow, but he did not look at the result, and drew another arrow and shot it out quickly.....

At this time, there was a roar in the distance, and both arrows shot down the sparrows in the sky accurately, but the drumming did not stop, Li Yanqing turned the horse's head and held the bow in his left hand instead, the quiver turned to his right shoulder, stretched out his hand and drew an arrow, and galloped again.

Zhou Tong saw that Jiang Zhixian had not said anything, and thought that he had not seen the arrow target, so he said apologetically: "I knew that Zhixian was coming, so I put a big target, and the target of the two small finches is too small." ”

Jiang Dadao shook his head, "I have also practiced archery, and I can see it very clearly, the target of the two sparrows is extremely small, but Li Xie Yuan can shoot down arrows from a hundred steps away, which can be called a magic arrow!" ”

"He is indeed a genius in the sky, he has a talent for archery since he was a child, and he only learned to ride and shoot for half a year before he became a teacher, and it is even more rare that he is both civil and military, and his articles are also very well written."

"Yes! I heard Taiwei Tong say that when the Great Song Dynasty was founded, Jinshi who were good at riding and archery abounded, and after more than a hundred years, the Jinshi who could ride and shoot were basically gone, and there was only one Zongze in the past 30 years, but I didn't expect Tangyin County to have one. ”

Jiang Dadao was a little absent-minded, he had something important to ask Zhou Tong for help, although Li Yanqing's archery was wonderful, but Jiang Dadao's mind was not here.

At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on Li Yanqing, and the moving target of the arrow field appeared again, and seven sparrows suddenly fluttered out and flew all over the sky, extremely fast.

But Li Yanqing was faster, and in less than sixty paces of rapid running, Li Yanqing's continuous arrow shot seven arrows in a row, one arrow was as fast as an arrow, and the seven sparrows all died before they could fly away.

Seven arrows in a row, tying the highest record of the master Zhou Tong's continuous beaded arrows, if it weren't for the county magistrate Jiang Dadao standing next to him, Wang Gui and Tang Huai and others would have to shout.

The drums stopped suddenly, and there was a warm applause in the distance, but Li Yanqing was a little strange, the master asked the question of thirteen arrows, why did he only shoot nine arrows and stopped, he looked back, but saw an official standing on the side of the school field, pointing to this side, he recognized this person as Jiang Zhixian.

At this time, Li Yanqing saw Zhou Tong beckoning to him, he hurriedly urged him to step forward, first saluted Jiang Zhixian, and then bowed to Zhou Wei and said, "Please teach the master!" ”

Zhou Tong didn't have a smile on his face, and said to him solemnly: "Although you can shoot seven arrows in a row, but your strength is still slightly inferior, if you have strong strength, the arrow speed is faster, the range is longer, and your archery skills can go to the next level, I hope you will start strengthening your strength training from today, and strive to be able to open two stone bows as soon as possible." ”

"The teachings of the master are remembered by the students."

Zhou Tong nodded and said to everyone: "Everyone rest for a quarter of an hour first, Jiang Zhixian has something to do with me, and then I will continue to practice when I go back." ”

After speaking, he said to Jiang Zhixian: "Don't talk here, let's go to the wooden platform to talk." ”

Jiang Zhixian nodded, he did have an imminent urgent matter to ask Zhou Tong for help, Jiang Zhixian didn't care about greeting Li Yanqing, so he and Zhou Dong walked towards the wooden platform.

Walking to the wooden platform, Jiang Zhixian said worriedly: "Captain Tong is coming!" ”

Zhou Tong was taken aback, "Taiwei Tong is coming to Tangyin?" ”

"I didn't come to Tangyin specifically, I was just passing by, but ....."

Speaking of this, Jiang Zhixian glanced at Zhou Tong strangely, "Didn't Zhou Jiaotou hear any rumors?" Song Liao may be about to go to war. ”

Zhou Tong was stunned, and said for a while: "There is no news at all, the county is very calm, how can there be a sudden war?" ”

Jiang Zhixian smiled bitterly, "It's normal that you don't know, if I hadn't received a letter from Captain Tong, I wouldn't have known that there would be a war, this matter is very secret, and there is no news even from the capital, but in a few days, I'm afraid the news will spread." ”

Zhou Tong nodded silently, and asked again: "Then what can I do to help the magistrate?" ”

Jiang Zhixian said anxiously: "Mrs. Tong said in the letter that I have been in Tangyin for three years, and he hopes that when he passes by Tangyin this time, he can see my political achievements. What aspect of political achievements does Zhou Jiaotou think Taiwei Tong is interested in? ”

Zhou Tong was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I don't have much contact with Taiwei Tong in the capital, I really don't know what kind of political achievements Taiwei Tong is interested in." ”

Because Zhou Tong was also sent to Tangyin County by Taiwei Tong, Jiang Zhixian thought that he could get a little inspiration from Zhou Tong, but Zhou Dong didn't know anything about it, which really disappointed him.

He had to leave worriedly, Zhou Tong looked at his back and walked away, and he was a little worried in his heart, is the war really coming?
