The riding and shooting competition has begun. The reason why riding and shooting is called a competition rather than an exam is because there are standards for step shooting and passing, and there is no competition competition.

Riding and shooting are the opposite. There is no standard. It is a competition between the contestants. Those with high skills win, so it is called a competition.

There are ten rounds of riding and shooting tests, and five people will be tested in one round. Each of them has only one chance. Everyone is waiting outside the school grounds and can only enter after calling their names.

This is also the new rule this year. Last year, everyone came to the market to wait together. It is said that the scholars harassed each other last year, which affected their performance, so the rules were temporarily changed.

Li Zhen held his white horse and a group of scholars waiting outside. Although he didn't know his final score, he hit the bull's-eye with five arrows, and his score had been confirmed by the examiner, so there was no problem in entering the top three.

Everyone held the horse, straightened their ears and heard the examiner above call his name.

This is not the first time many scholars have participated in the competition, and some have participated in the third time. These are the children of wealthy families in Shazhou, with superior families and able to afford war horses.

"Suoping, Li Pan!"

The examiner chanted the name loudly, and his voice was very loud. He recited it twice to three times. Everyone could hear it clearly. Li Pan turned over and glanced at Li Zhen with disdain, "Don't you give up?"

Li Pan laughed up to the sky and urged his horse to rush into the competition venue. At this time, there were only three people left outside, and he still didn't call him. Li Zhen also started to play in his heart. Is he really not himself?

It's impossible! His archery arrow hit the bull's eye, and five examiners recorded their grades at the same time. The examiner notified him to participate in riding and shooting. The system was strict and there was no reason not to allow himself to participate in riding and shooting.

Li Zhen thought of Li Pan's expression and what he said just now. Is there really any conspiracy hidden in it?

Li Zhen could no longer help but urged him to step forward and asked the examiner loudly, "May I ask, is there any Li Zhen's name?"

The examiner looked at the list and shook his head and said, "There is only one person named Li Pan on the list. He has already entered just now. I'm sorry, there is no Li Zhen!"

Li Zhen was stunned and then furious, "Why are there no me?"

The examiner was an old man. He glanced at Li Zhen and slowly said, "Young man, isn't it normal for you to be without you? It means that your step-shot is not qualified and you can't rank fifty quotas for riding and shooting. Naturally, you will be gone. Don't be too angry, my old man is in a bad heart."

Li Zhen already understood that these damn guys were wiggling and slashing their grades when they were stomping, and lowering themselves to fifty places for riding and shooting. Naturally, he was not qualified to participate in riding and shooting.

They are all high-ranking officials, and power is overwhelming. It is easy to do this method, so Li Zhen calmed down.

He restrained his anger and asked with his fist, "I would like to ask the examiner, I want to check my step and ejaculation scores, how should I check it?"

The old man looked at him again and pointed to an examiner next to him with a pen. Li Zhen immediately turned his horse's head, rushed to the examiner, and bowed: "I want to check my step and ejaculation scores, are you looking for you?"

"So it's Mr. Zhen. Didn't you go in?" The examiner knew Li Zhen and asked casually.

Li Zhen shook his head, "I said my step-shot score was not up to standard. I want to know how many places I ranked in step-shot? Is it 51st? "

"this...."

The examiner showed a look of embarrassment on his face. He took out a list of lists for a while, "According to the rules, it is not allowed to check the rankings, but for the sake of the villagers in the country, I will help you."

The examiner found the end from the beginning, and he was a little stunned, "Mr. Zhen, I can't believe it, but it is written very clearly, and your ranking is at the end."

"What is the end?" Li Zhen was about to be furious.

"Just...no results."

Li Zhen snatched the famous paper from the examiner, and the examiner immediately shouted, "You can't read this, please give it back to me!"

Li Zhen ignored him. He found his name at the end of the list. He did not have any results. There was a small note behind it, "Unrespective of using a bow."

Li Zhen was like a basin of cold water pouring down from his head. It was only today that he could understand the methods of officialdom. It turned out that it was a trap from beginning to end.

I asked myself to go to the first greenhouse and arranged a special person to choose a bow for myself, and lured me to choose the two stone bows. Finally, I appeared in time and took the bow away, connected and without any loopholes.

He also thought that Li Jin would not give up. He instinctively thought that Li Jin would make trouble while riding and shooting, but he did not expect that the other party would attack when he was stepping, cleverly causing him to lose the qualification to participate in riding and shooting.

He also made the martial arts in foreign lands unqualified. Even if Wang Xiaojie wanted to help him and let him go in to participate in riding and shooting, he did not have the recognition of the local government's martial arts, and no matter how outstanding his riding and shooting performance was, he was not qualified to go to Beijing.

Li Zhen felt despair for the first time. He was a powerless and powerless villain, and eventually he could only be played with by those in power.

But he was never willing to give up. Even if he had no achievements, he would let Shazhou people know what happened.

Li Zhen was extremely angry. He turned his horse's head, whipped the horse's buttocks hard, and urged the horse to run towards the competition venue.

"Stop him!" several officials shouted.

More than a dozen soldiers rushed over and swung their spears to block his way. When Li Zhen lifted the war horse, he clamped his legs. The war horse neighed and flew into the air, crossed the heads of more than a dozen soldiers, and rushed into the competition venue.

The drums in the competition venue were thunderous, and the people shouted in a daze, applauding and cheering for the riders. Jiu Zhi and others stood in the first row south. They looked around and looked for Li Zhen, and were a little anxious.

Kang Sisi stomped her feet in anger, "Fatty, have you seen Brother Sanlang? It's almost over, why haven't he played yet?"

Jiuzhi spread his hands helplessly, "I stand with you, if you don't see it, can I see it?"

At this time, Li Quan squeezed over, "Si Si, Xiao Pang, did you see my A Zhen?"

"Big sister, we didn't see him either. It's strange that he should have been on the court long ago, why haven't he come yet?"

At this moment, Kang Dazhuang pointed to the door and shouted, "Look, A Zhen is out!"

Everyone saw Li Zhen riding on a white horse, rushing into the competition venue like a strong wind, chasing a group of soldiers behind him, but Li Zhen was thrown farther and farther away.

Kang Sisi and Li Quan shouted excitedly, and Jiu Zhi was even more excited and fisted and palms, "It was indeed not as expected by my Fat Master, the last one."

On the high platform, several senior officials had different expressions, and Wang Xiaojie and Zhang Ting both showed no expression, as if they didn't know who the visitor was.

Li Wukui and Changshi Jiang Yuan were only in charge of the imperial examinations and basically did not care about the martial arts examinations. They didn't know what had happened.

Only Suo Zhiping and Li Jin looked at each other, how could this kid rush in? Li Jin felt something was wrong, and things might be going to get bigger.

At this time, Li Zhen rode his horse to the front of the platform. He clasped his fists in front of the platform and shouted: "General, student Li Zhen is willing to perform riding and shooting for you!"

Wang Xiaojie laughed and said, "Who are you? Why do you perform riding and shooting for me? Don't you participate in the riding and shooting competition?"

The governor Li Wuqing recognized Li Zhen. He was surprised and turned around and asked Suo Zhiping, "So Sima, has this child not participated in riding and shooting?"

Suo Zhiping shook his head hurriedly, "I don't know the specific official, do you know the Zhang Junzhi?"

He pushed the matter to Zhang Ting, and Zhang Ting laughed, "So Sima is Sima of Shazhou, and he is fully responsible for the military examination. I am just sending troops to maintain order. Why do you ask me?"

Wang Xiaojie pretended to be surprised and asked, "Is this boy very important?"

Li Wukui already understood a little. I guess these people cheated Li Zhen. Although he is a more righteous official, he is a person in the officialdom after all.

He doesn't want to offend his colleagues for an ordinary teenager, and it is probably involved in some kind of scandal, so family scandals cannot be made public.

Li Wuqing smiled and said, "This young man is very famous for riding and shooting in Dunhuang. I don't know why he didn't participate in today's riding and shooting competition."

Wang Xiaojie seemed to be more interested and asked Suo Zhiping: "When will the competition end?"

"Report to the general, there is a last round."

"Let's do it! It's still early anyway, so it's okay to sit there. Since this young man is famous for riding and shooting in Shazhou, why don't you guys do it?"

Everyone felt that it was inappropriate. They didn’t have to run out to perform riding and shooting. Even if there was a performance, the government would make arrangements in advance.

Only Zhang Ting said, "Since the general has such a good mood, I think he should arrange it. What does Suo Sima mean?"

Suo Zhiping cursed in his heart, but Wang Xiaojie had already spoken. He could not help but smile and said with a slight smile: "Can arrange it!"

Wang Xiaojie nodded, stood up and smiled at Li Zhen, "This young man, everyone agrees to let you perform riding and shooting after the competition. I hope you don't disappoint me."

Zhang Ting also smiled and said, "Mr. Li, General Wang is a distinguished guest from afar. Since he is willing to watch you perform riding and shooting, don't discourage the general's interest."

Zhang Ting is just hinting Li Zhen not to tell the matter out, and it will not do you well if it will ruin everyone's fun.

Li Zhen had calmed down from his initial anger and nodded silently. He had already understood what Zhang Ting meant. Wang Xiaojie was just a guest, and the guest would not care about the host's affairs. It seemed that he could not turn the tables.

But Li Zhen also held his breath. Even if he couldn't turn the tables, he would still be proud and let them see what real archery is and humiliate them.

"Thank you, General!"

Li Zhen turned his horse's head and ran out of the field, sharpening his fists and palms, preparing for the last moment of avenging his shame.
