It became well-known to all over the world that the selection of county horses for Princess Lanling has reached the capital. Thousands of children from aristocratic families have entered Beijing from all over the world, so Yuwen Shu and Yang Su dare not swagger and have to arrange the show they should do.

The selection competition began soon, and all subjects of the seven classics and six arts were tested, and the same pomp as the emperor's choice of concubines shows that Princess Lanling's status is so high.

Xiao Yi thought that he would give up the right to be eliminated in the first round. He deliberately showed that he could not do poetry, and even wrote his own name and handed in the blank paper. He thought he would be eliminated directly, but Yuwen Shu refused to let Xiao Yi go at all. Even if he handed in the blank paper, he would still advance and stayed in the capital and waited for the next round of selection exams.

And the next round of exams is simply a long way off.

After more than a month, some families who expected the position of the county horse began to be dissatisfied. They wrote letters to Yang Jian to speed up, accusing Yuwen Shu and Yang Su of being unfavorable.

Under pressure, Yang Jian had to make Yuwen Shu and Yang Su continue to prepare for the selection of county horses.

During this period, Yuwen Shu looked for Xiao Yi once and asked Xiao Yi about the whereabouts of the mysterious secret art of Xuanxin.

Naturally, Xiao Yi would not admit it, and he was not afraid to fight with him. Fortunately, Xiao Yi lived in the host family and Chen Shen could speak in front of Yang Jian, but Yuwen Shu didn't dare to force him.

However, since then, some uninvited guests often come to nights. Xiao Yi knew that they were all Yuwen Shu's people, so he increased his vigilance. Yang Jian was furious when he learned that the host family had been harassed and sent troops to increase the guards there. Soon Yuwen Shu had no idea.

A new round of selection has begun, which is the archery technique in the Six Arts.

The distances are arranged are fifty steps, hundreds of steps, and one hundred and fifty steps. Each level shoots ten times. The one with the largest number of rings is the first place, and if you fail, you will be eliminated.

In addition to taking archery skills, archery was one of the important ways to verify the style of a gentleman in ancient times. It is not that archery skills are only a compulsory course for martial artists, but also a necessary course for literati. If you can't do archery, you have no chance to become an official, because you don't even have the most basic style of a gentleman, and the court can't believe it.

Whether it is a literati or a warrior, they will basically take targets within fifty steps, unless they have eye problems. Although Xiao Yi competed with the intention of being eliminated, he could not lose his father's face too much. As the prince of the largest family in the south, Xiao Yi is a weather vane for the children of the southern family.

In addition to competing for county horse candidates, it is also a big contest between the families of the North and South families. During this period, no one needs to remind them that the children of the South and the children of the North and the North families consciously took sides, forming a clear confrontation between the North and South.

Therefore, Xiao Yi did not embarrass his father in the archery competition of fifty and one hundred steps. He passed the full mark and became the best among the children of the southern family. Among the children of the southern family who passed with Xiao Yi were Feng Bao from Lingnan, Song Jing from Kunzhou and Lin Jian from Yuzhang.

The strongest one was Feng Bao, who was the grandson of Lady Xian, who commanded the troops of the six prefectures in Lingnan. The reason why Yang Jian was able to quickly pacify Jiangnan was largely due to Mrs. Xian's assistance to persuade the Song family in Kunzhou and the Lin family in Yuzhang.

Xiao Yi was naturally recognized as the Southern School, so during the competition, Xiao Yi achieved good results, and the children of the southern family such as Feng Bao, Song Jing and Lin Jian all applauded and congratulated him.

However, except for one person in the Southern Sect, he was full of hostility towards Xiao Yi.

This is Xiao Enci, who also has the surname Xiao and is a descendant of Liang Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty.

When the two met again, Xiao Yi realized that Xiao Enci, who had been rampant twice by him, was actually a descendant of the Liang Dynasty royal family. It was because Yang Jian annexed the Western Liang that they had to bring 100,000 people to the south Chen east.

Both of them are the Xiao family in the south, but Xiao Enci is a descendant of the prince of the down-and-out county and no longer has the power of the royal family. Although Xiao Yi is also a descendant of the down-and-out family, he is much stronger than Xiao Enci. However, Xiao Yi's father is still the General of the Cavalry, and he still has military power in his hands, and his influence on the southern family is still very great.

Xiao Enci was undoubtedly jealous. Since being beaten up by Xiao Yi twice, Xiao Enci has worked hard to learn martial arts. At this time, he has achieved some success. He wanted to seek revenge on Xiao Yi, but he walked over and tried to knock Xiao Yi down with his own figure to make him look ugly, but unexpectedly, Xiao Yi didn't move at all. He seemed to knock on a steel plate and fell to the ground by a recoil, which was so painful that half of his shoulder was almost falling off.

"You are too scrupulous! When I was a kid, I didn't need to hold grudges now, right?"

Xiao Yi still smiled.

"This is not called revenge, this is called breath!"

Xiao Enci had no intention of reconciling with Xiao Yi at all. He stood up and patted his butt and glared at Xiao Yi fiercely, but went to the other side to talk to others.

Feng Bao looked at Xiao Enci's back and asked Xiao Yi what happened. After Xiao Yi answered truthfully, Feng Bao and Song Jing couldn't help but laugh.

Lin Jian next to him just snorted coldly, "What kind of wave can the son of a mere county magistrate cause? The declining royal family cannot let go of the face. Brother Shimin doesn't have to care!"

At this time, noise came from the east.

Feng Bao found an acquaintance and found out that it was Yu Wenshi, the second son of the Yuwen family, who was shooting arrows. He shot out ten arrows within 150 steps and suddenly increased the majesty of the northern school.

Xiao Yi turned around and asked, "Brother Feng thought what Yu Wenshi's archery technique was?"

Feng Bao paused and said, "You're right with me! I just don't know if he can maintain this level two hundred steps away."

Obviously, people from Lingnan are good at shooting, and Feng Bao has obtained the true teachings of Lady Xian. He thinks that he is the best in archery skills, but he is competing with Mr. Yu Wen.

Soon, a 150-step archery competition began here.

Feng Bao unscrupulously shot out the good results of the 93rd Ring Road, and suddenly suppressed the Yu Wenshiji. The Southern Sects immediately shouted and knocked off Yu Wenshiji's arrogance.

Xiao Yi fired ten arrows just like before, and seven arrows hit the bull's eye, and the other three arrows deliberately shot to the edge of the target. However, if someone is interested, you will find that Xiao Yi was playing a game when shooting archery - shooting flies.

That's right! Xiao Yi's childlike heart has not yet faded, but the arrow that he deliberately blew into the air hit the fly and nailed the fly to the target.

What is archery? This is the real archery.

Xiao Yi's archery skills that he had practiced for 11 years had reached a very high level. Within 150 steps, it was as simple as a child's housework.

Song Jing and Lin Jian were like archery techniques. When they reached 150 steps, they were just on the target and could not hit the red heart.

Xiao Yi has always been in the top five. He doesn't want to be the first to show off, but he can't embarrass my father and make people look down on me. His current results are just right.

Only five people were able to enter the 200-step archery competition, namely Yu Wenshi, who was in the limelight and Feng Bao, who had never fallen behind, and then Dugu Feiji of the Dugu family. Xiao Yi was ranked fourth in total, but the fifth place surprised Xiao Yi because his name was Li Jiancheng.

Li Jiancheng was only thirteen years old, but he also wanted to marry Princess Lanling, who was two years older than him. It seems that Li Yuan, as Duke of Tang, was not a famous person, and he had always had ambitions in his heart.

Five people passed the 150-step archery competition. This was a big surprise for Yuwen Shu. According to regulations, one of the best players must be selected for each competition, and then all the events accumulate, and the person with the largest number of numbers will become the first candidate for the county horse, and so on.

Yuwen Shu naturally wanted his son to be the first, so he had to add another competition, and the five people entered the 200-step shooting competition venue.

The target of archers that is two hundred steps away is already the range of an archer for ordinary people. For archers, they also want to compete with each other. Who is the first?

Xiao Yi also wanted to see the last round of the game and see their strength, so he used some tricks, and he was the last archery every time. In this way, he knew the number of rings in front of him and knew the people in front of him and knew it.

The two hundred steps of archery attracted many people to watch, especially two young men, one white and one green, stood not far away.

Everyone was attracted by the competition, and no one paid attention to them. If someone approached and looked, they would definitely be frightened by their appearance. Because they looked so handsome and didn't look like men at all.

The competition has begun.

This time, Yu Wen Shiji, Feng Bao, Xiao Yi, Dugu Feiji and Li Jiancheng fired arrows at the same time. It was impossible for Xiao Yi to shoot the last arrow.

In the first three rounds, all five of them shot the ten rings, which attracted cheers from the audience around them.

In the next seven rounds, only Yu Wenshi, Feng Bao and Xiao Yi continued to maintain the ten-ring score, while Dugu Feiji and Li Jiancheng were unable to shoot out the ten-ring score because of their physical strength decline too quickly. The distance was too wide, so they were no longer in the third place.

To choose the first one, you have to increase the difficulty - two hundred and thirty steps away.

People's eyes immediately focused on Yu Wenshi, Feng Bao and Xiao Yi.

After seven times, the three of them bit their grades very tightly.

The physical strength of archery is too high, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to hit the red heart from a distance, which is why it gives people wonderfulness.

During the last three arrows, Xiao Yi deliberately said that there was something wrong with the bow and arrow, and asked Yu Wen Shi and Feng Bao to shoot first.

As a result, Yu Wenshi and the three arrows shot out the 21st ring, and Feng Bao scored the 23rd ring with the 23rd ring for the 25th ring.

"Brother Shimin, stop being too slow, it depends on you. You just need to shoot the first place in the 15th ring and be yours."

Seeing that Feng Bao was the first, Xiao Yi immediately squeezed his eyes at him and whispered: "Brother Feng, don't worry, Xiao Yi has no intention of marrying Princess Lanling, so he will naturally not make any profit from you."

Seeing Feng Bao stunned, Xiao Yi suddenly laughed and said, "It's so boring to shoot one arrow! Let me give you some surprises!"

As he said that, Xiao Yi bent his bow and drew the arrow, and he actually got three long arrows directly.

This immediately made the masses excited, and some Southern sects have begun to cheer.

Everyone was staring at Xiao Yi, and Yu Wenshi was even more nervous. As long as Xiao Yi shot a fifteen ring, he would be the first.

The young man in Qing, among the two white and green men not far away, suddenly jumped up excitedly and said, "One bow and three arrows, this Xiao Yi is so handsome, he is like a dream hero of the servant."

The young man in white hurriedly covered his mouth and scolded: "What are you screaming at? You want to kill me!"

It turns out that these two people are dressed as men, no wonder they feel so handsome.

Fortunately, everyone paid attention to Xiao Yi and no one heard them.

The girl named Shishu suddenly stuck out her tongue and whispered: "Aren't the princess excited? Didn't you say that only archery can tell the character of the seven classics and six arts, and only a gentleman can shoot the farthest. The first place in this assessment is most likely to become a county horse, right? Isn't the princess excited? As long as Xiao Yi shoots out the fifteenth ring, he is likely to be your future husband."

It turned out that the woman in white was Princess Lanling. If Xiao Yi saw her appearance, he would be shocked, because Princess Lanling looked so similar to Yuchi Lan, and she was just carved from the same mold. However, Princess Lanling in front of him had a fairer skin and looked extremely arrogant. Perhaps it was the innate majesty that she was as a princess.

Princess Lanling gave the waiter a angrily blank look and snorted coldly: "I'm just saying it, you're still serious!"

Speaking of that, Princess Lanling felt a different feeling in her heart - can that Xiao Yi really hit a single bow and three arrows?

There was a hint of anticipation.

But seeing that Xiao Yi had earned enough people's lottery, he immediately shot three arrows.

Unfortunately, even three arrows didn't hit the bull's-eye, and they almost had a mop.

cut!!!!

There was a sigh in the crowd, and Xiao Yi undoubtedly disappointed them.

The first place in the archery competition was produced by Feng Bao, Yu Wenshi and second place, and Xiao Yi was still continuing the myth that each of him was third.

Feng Bao immediately breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Xiao Yi's smile on his face and was about to go over and ask what was going on, but unexpectedly he was stopped by Yu Wenshiji.

"I've been lucky enough to win the first place, but I've already won six firsts, you only have three. The princess is mine. If you know the truth, you can quit consciously to avoid being humiliated."

Feng Bao wanted to fight when he heard Yu Wenshi and his arrogant words. Xiao Yi, Song Jing, Lin Jian and others hurried forward and pulled him away.

"It's better to offend a gentleman than a villain! Brother Feng must not be as knowledgeable as such a person!"

Seeing that Xiao Yi was persuading him like this, Feng Bao stopped skeptical about Yu Wen Shi and glared at him fiercely, then pulled Xiao Yi up and said, "Brother Shimin, Brother Song, Brother Lin, let's go out and have fun. I got the first place today. I, Feng Bao, treat you!"

When they heard Feng Bao treating him, the three of them were extremely happy and couldn't wait to pull him away together.

Yu Wenshiji was very unhappy, and the other party ignored his existence. Especially Xiao Yi's words undoubtedly called him a villain.

It's outrageous!

Yu Wenshi suddenly turned black.
