Chapter 90 Three Arrows
The next game was like running water, with new players flying by, most of them scored in the [-]s and [-]s, and no one scored more than [-] points. Even a famous player like Cao De only scored [-] points. Yang Xizhong Also scored [-] points, Liu Qiong scored [-] points, and Hu Yantong scored [-] points.

It's a pity for Liu Qiong here. His second arrow hit the left chest and he didn't get ten points. Although the third arrow hit the moving target, he still missed Zhang Xian by two points.

The eighth group entered the field, and Chen Qing urged the horse and a group of generals to enter the school field and came to the waiting area.

An official shouted loudly: "The rules have been told to everyone. Let me remind you that the wooden target is made of jujube wood, which is very strong. If your bow is a five-dou bow, try to shoot at the neck and head. The wood is softer over there."

Only then did Chen Qing realize that the five-dou bow could shoot at the neck and head, but the generals couldn't hit it.

"here we go!"

The officer waved the red flag, "First up!"

The first general rushed over on his horse, but unfortunately his level of riding and archery was poor. The first arrow missed, and the second arrow still missed. The third arrow completely lost confidence, missed again, and swallowed an arrow. Lingdan, amidst the laughter, the general left with shame on his face.

The generals followed one by one, the fifth entered the battle, and the next one was Chen Qing. Chen Qing urged the horse to the starting point.

He was also quite nervous in his heart. In yesterday's recruit competition, he had already been promoted to one level. If he performed well today and made it to the top three, he would still have a chance to be promoted to another level. I am afraid that this chance of being promoted to two levels in a row It will be difficult to meet in the future.

There are also five hundred taels of silver and the emperor's special property rewards.

Chen Qing has never been so important to reward money as he is today.

The one in front of Chen Qing was already finished, and he hit two of three arrows, scoring eight points.

"Number Six is ​​ready!" the officer yelled.

No. [-] is Chen Qing. He is holding the Dingyuan Bow and has sharp eyes. He is ready.

With a wave of the red flag in the official's hand, Chen Qing clamped his legs on the horse, and the horse galloped out. The surrounding gradually became quiet, and countless pairs of eyes watched him.

"Who is this general?"

The emperor Zhao Gou couldn't see his face clearly because of the distance, but the aura of this general was obviously different from other generals.

"Your Majesty, he is Chen Qing!" Li Hui whispered beside him.

Zhao Gou lifted his spirits, leaned forward, and looked at Chen Qing with all his attention.

Lu Yihao next to him stroked his beard and smiled without saying a word. The emperor of the Song Dynasty was generally interested in young scribes, and never cared about generals.

But in recent years, the officials have been displaced and suffered repeated catastrophes. The Jurchen army is eyeing the north of the Yangtze River. The Song Dynasty is always worried about destroying the country. The officials are very dependent on military generals.

However, Liu Miao's mutiny broke his expectations of generals. Under such circumstances, the officials established martial arts and held training competitions for new recruits and generals, which shows the importance they attach to young generals.

In this martial arts competition, the two biggest winners have come out, one is Chen Qing, and the other is Yang Xizhong.

At this time, Chen Qing had gradually rushed to the riding and shooting area, and Lu Yihao also dropped his distracting thoughts and concentrated on watching.

'Boom!Boom!Boom! '

The moment the horse rushed past the white line of riding and shooting, the delicate drumming began to sound.

At this time, the speed of the horse is very important. If the horse speed is fast, the knight will be in a hurry, which will affect the shooting. If the horse speed is slow, he will still not run out of the riding and shooting area when the drumbeat stops, and he will be eliminated directly.

In this case, in fact, the more the generals arrange to shoot from behind, the more advantageous they will be. At least they all know the duration of the drum sound, so that they can control the speed of their horses.

As soon as Chen Qing came on stage, he knew all kinds of target positions by heart. The first arrow must be shot at the north target. This is because the moving target is in the south, so that the second and third arrows do not need to change positions.

When he reached the straight line of the first target in an instant, Chen Qing drew his bow and shot an arrow. Eighty steps away, the arrow hit the target's eyebrow.

The arrow was accurate and ruthless, clean and neat, without muddying the water, cheers burst from all around, the ministers all praised, Zhao Gou nodded, "Good arrow skills!"

With a flick of Chen Qing's shoulder, the quiver was thrown to the other side of his back. He switched to holding the bow with his left hand, and drew an arrow with his right hand, and shot towards the wooden dummy target in the south.

This arrow was also crisp and sharp, hitting the center of the eyebrow with precision, and once again won a round of warm applause.

At this time, Zhao Gou began to pay attention to Chen Qing's third arrow, which is also the key to high and low scores.

The third arrow is optional. The third wooden dummy target and the moving target appear almost at the same time, but only one can be selected. More importantly, there are only three arrows in each person's quiver, so it is impossible to make up shots.

The moving target is one hundred and twenty steps away, and it is only one foot high. As long as you hit it, you can get [-] basic points, and then add [-] extra points. This is how Zhang Xian got [-] points.

But even hitting a moving target is not easy, it only appears for three seconds and then disappears, basically only a split second. Cao De and Yang Xizhong both gave up the moving target, and although the famous general Xin Yongzong chose the moving target, he fell short. The moment the shot was fired, the target disappeared, and the third arrow hit nothing, only scoring twenty-five points.

So far, only Zhang Xian and Liu Qiong have hit the moving target.

Chen Qing drew out the third arrow, the horse didn't slow down, he didn't pay attention to the wooden target, his eyes were fixed on the ditch a hundred and twenty paces away.

Just [-] steps away from the finish line, the moving target suddenly appeared, and ran westward at high speed, only three seconds, about six or seven steps.

At the moment when the moving target appeared, Chen Qing shot out the third arrow, and when the moving target reached the fourth step, the arrow also hit it, 'pop! 'An arrow hit the eyebrow of the moving target, and the moving target disappeared immediately.

Chen Qing also ran out of the riding and shooting area, and the drumming stopped.

The last arrow went up and down, and the change was so fast that most people didn't see it clearly. They all knew that they had hit the target, but where was the shot?
Han Shizhong stroked his beard and smiled lightly at Yue Fei beside him, "Yue Dutong, you have an opponent."

Chen Qing's last arrow also shocked Yue Fei. He could see clearly that the third arrow was still between the eyebrows. , Even Han Shizhong next to him was a little bit worse.

At this time, an official rushed to the north stand and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, the third arrow is still between the eyebrows!"

There was an uproar in the stands, and Zhao Gou laughed loudly, "Li Aiqing, this is full of cheers!"

Li Hui's expression was a little dull, and he said to himself: "How is it possible?"

Amid soaring cheers, the full score appeared in the eighth round. Three basic full scores, plus five points for left and right bows, five points for moving targets, and five points for the house lottery. In the following twenty years, a total of Thirteen sessions were held, but the perfect score of forty-five points was only this time.

The contest for recruits and generals is over, and Chen Qing, the commander of the Western Army, won the double championship. According to the rules, he should be promoted to two ranks, and Liu Qiong can also be promoted to two ranks. However, during the discussion in the political affairs hall, Fan Zongyin raised objections.

"When Chen Qing first entered Beijing, he was only a Zhongwei Lang at the [-]th rank. In just over two months, he was about to be promoted to the [-]th rank of martial arts doctor, and he was promoted to the [-]th rank. It was too fast. The imperial court did not have this custom."

Knowing the privy matter, Li Hui was dissatisfied and said: "This is the rule. The rules are set by the officials. Everyone here has signed and agreed. The first place in the recruit competition, the generals in the army will be promoted to one rank, and the top three in the new general competition will be promoted to one rank." If Chen Qing won two first places, the rules will not be counted, and the world will laugh at the government's back-and-forth?"

Lu Yihao also said slowly: "It's totally possible to advance several ranks in succession. It is ruled that Yue Fei was also a martial arts doctor of the fifteenth rank at the beginning of the year. Level four, although Chen Qing was only a Zhongwei Lang before he came to the capital, this was his position before being rewarded for his meritorious deeds. To say it is unreasonable is because his previous official rank was too low."

At this time, Qin Hui laughed dryly and said, "Actually, Fan Xianggong's idea is not unreasonable. I suggest submitting Fan Xianggong's opinion to the emperor, and let the emperor consider it again."

Fan Zongyin glanced at Qin Hui vigilantly, and said coldly: "I just complained and didn't make any comments. I, Fan Zongyin, will not overturn the rules I signed, unlike some people's children who give chin beans. The tricks of the underworld are also used, which shows how the elders have taught by example."

Qin Hui was furious, stared at Fan Zongyin and said viciously: "What evidence do you have that my nephew gave someone a croton?"

"Hmph! Sima Zhao's heart is known to everyone, do you still need evidence?"

Qin Hui looked at Fan Zongyin for a while, and said to Lu Yihao: "I have no objection to Lu Xianggong's plan, I have something else to do, so let's go first."

He stood up and left angrily. Fan Zongyin looked at Qin Hui's back and sneered, "Dare to do it but dare not be it. It's a fool to pretend to be others!"

"Fan Xianggong!"

Lu Yihao knocked on the table dissatisfied, "What's your opinion?"

Although Fan Zongyin was very reluctant to let Chen Qing be promoted to two ranks, but the rules were here, he didn't dare to shame the emperor, so he nodded, "Just follow the rules!"

Immediately, Vice Minister Zhao Ding and Privy Councilor Li Hui also agreed, and the final reward plan was passed unanimously.

On the third day of the recruit competition, the Privy Council and the Ministry of War jointly announced the final ranking and awards.

The Western Army was undoubtedly the biggest winner, with a reward of [-] guan and [-] bolts of silk cloth. All the participating generals were promoted to a higher rank. In addition, the main general Chen Qing won the first place in riding and archery, and was promoted to another rank.

Chen Qing's official rank was promoted from the [-]nd rank Wuyi doctor to the [-]th rank Wujing doctor.

In addition, the emperor Zhao Gou gave a personal reward to the first place in the new general competition, and rewarded a three-acre house in Lin'an City.

　This part of the game was not well written, and I couldn't find the feeling. The main reason was that there were not enough conflicts and conflicts. Next, try to find the feeling.
