Chapter 41 Riding, Shooting and Slashing
After a drumbeat, the forensics will continue.
After crying a lot and resting on Su Lang's shoulder for a while, Qing Xiaoke was resurrected with full health. She was not a very scheming person to begin with, and her methods of tormenting others and herself were very limited.
Both are children of aristocratic families, the aloof Yun Zhongyue has almost no friends, but the cheerful Qing Xiaoke has brothers all over Jiangnan. Even Yun Zhongyue, an introverted, withdrawn, cold and arrogant "monster" is also on her friend list.
She ran to the guardrail around the venue, waved to Yun Zhongyue and shouted: "Yun Zhongyue, come on."
Yun Zhongyue was wrapped in a fine armor. He was used to a cold, lonely and friendless world. Suddenly someone called his name and waved to him, which made him feel uncomfortable all over. He lifted up awkwardly
His hands were waving awkwardly, with a forced dry smile on his face.
Then, his hand froze in mid-air, his beautiful face turned red, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.
He is an extremely introverted and shy person. Although Qing Xiaoke is not a complete stranger to him and the two of them can communicate in private, he lacks confidence and experience when waving to a flowery girl in public.
It is inevitable to feel shy and at a loss.
Shi Kongming on the side reminded him to put down his mask to cover his face, which would make him feel better. Yun Zhongyue did as he was told. When his whole body was hidden in the thick armor, he finally felt a long-lost relaxation.
Qing Xiaoke had just cried loudly in Su Lang's arms. The tears wet a large area of his body and left him with bruises and bruises covering many parts of his body.
She kept her pain to herself, and then ran to cheer others on.
Su Lang boasted that he was by no means a narrow-minded person, but at this moment, there was still a rare trace of jealousy in his heart.
This Yunzhongyue wrapped itself in a thick turtle shell on a hot day, and even put down its face protector. Is this really determined to cover the turtle shell to the end? It is really ridiculous!
Su Lang wanted to put down his rationality and laugh loudly at Yun Zhongyue's ridiculousness, but he tried, but couldn't.
Yun Zhongyue's coming is not good, and you can get a clue of it from the exquisite armor he wears. This seemingly funny outfit just highlights the good intentions of the Yun family. The purpose of riding and shooting appraisal is to select talents for the country. Yun
Zhongyue wore heavy armor and acted solemnly, conveying a sense of respect and surpassing others in terms of momentum.
In addition, it is more difficult to achieve results while wearing heavy armor than with light armor or no armor.
In other words, even if he only achieved the same results as the Su brothers today, he could still outdo the Su brothers with this heavy armor.
Qingyi Fengyun, Su Wulianhai.
After all, the Yun family had a glorious past, and its decline in modern times was only due to a lack of people. Although the family fortune was declining, it still had a solid foundation.
Thinking of this, Su Lang felt sorry for him again. No matter how good his intentions were, if he didn't have money to clear the way, it would be of no use. A guy like Liao Shengfeng was a worm who wanted money rather than his life. It was absolutely impossible to expect him to uphold justice.
It's impossible, unless Yun Zhongyue really has the ability to throw the Su brothers thousands of miles away.
Is this possible?
After private inquiries, I learned that Yun Zhongyue submitted his authentication application to the Tianwu Society only three months ago. Previously, he traveled to three overseas islands under the protection of his retainers for a year.
Traveling overseas is to increase his knowledge and help his cultivation. It seems that just three months ago, he had not thought of giving up the reputation of the Qing Sect to participate in any authentication.
However, the skills of riding and archery have always been despised by warriors, deriding them as "a humble slave's business", and they would not be willing to get involved easily.
In order to participate in this riding and shooting appraisal, Yun Zhongyue condescended to do everything he could and it only took three months. How high could he go?
Su Lang's thoughts were also those of most people present, but out of sympathy for the Yun family, everyone still hoped that Yun Zhongyue would achieve good results and that the innocent son's trip to the world would be worthwhile.
The result was beyond everyone's expectations.
Ten of the ten shots fired at Yunzhongyue's fixed target hit the mark, and there were no missed arrows!
The next level was a moving target, and Qing Xiaoke excitedly ran over to Yun Zhongyue to "give him a face-to-face instruction."
Su Lang sat still, observing Liao Shengfeng's actions. Yun Zhongyue hit the fixed target ten times out of ten, and the audience burst into cheers, but Liao Shengfeng wilted like an eggplant beaten by frost. He sat there dumbly for a while.
, suddenly bit his lip, left his seat as if he had made a lot of determination, and came to the deacon who was holding the flag. He leaned over and muttered a few words. The deacon was obviously stunned for a moment, and nodded repeatedly. After the explanation,
Liao Shengfeng's eyes were darting around, and he looked around like a thief. After making sure that no one was paying attention to him, he returned to the high platform.
The distance was so far that Su Lang couldn't hear anything, but he speculated that the content of this conversation must be related to Yun Zhongyue, and he could conclude that Yun Zhongyue must be plotting - he took advantage of the Su family, and the Su family brothers were the unofficial
The top two of them, now that they have emerged from Yunzhongyue, they naturally have to take care of them.
The fact is just as Su Lang expected, the difficulty of the swimming target has been greatly improved compared to before. Anyone with a discerning eye can see it, but no one has said it. The grievances between wealthy families are not something ordinary people can talk about. Besides,
Everyone present at the scene has been bribed by the Su family. Who is willing to do something that is detrimental to professional ethics?
Maybe Qing Xiaoke is an exception, but because of his emotional injury, this exception just focused on competing with Su Lang and didn't notice the change in the situation at all.
"Ayue, you must stay calm, don't panic, believe in yourself, you can do it!"
Yun Zhongyue took off his face shield, nodded to Qing Xiaoke solemnly, and then grinned.
The shy and innocent boy's smile was full of sunshine, although his face was as pale as a corpse.
The drums sounded, and the moment that touched people's hearts finally arrived.
Moving target shooting.
Yunzhongyue still hit all ten shots.
For a moment, it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop on the ground. The strong wind and the thumping of horse hooves were completely blocked by the twisted hearts. Countless people held their breath and dared not breathe out. The atmosphere was extremely oppressive.
The first person to applaud was not Qing Xiaoke, but Su Jian. Su Jian clapped his hands and cheered loudly, and then the applause started to ring out sparsely.
Liao Shengfeng was dumbfounded and didn't know how to end it. The other deacons had no idea and stood there. Only a thin man remained awake. He walked up to Shi Kongming and asked in a neither humble nor overbearing tone: "Dare you ask Mr. Yun if you can
Do you want to prove the chop?"
Shi Kongming responded on behalf of Yun Zhongyue: "That's natural."
The chopping and forensic evidence was soon ready. Yun Zhongyue was still in the same attire as before, except that the carved bow was replaced by a snow knife. This time he lifted up his face protector. There was already a smile on his handsome and pale face, and his whole person was full of joy.
Energy and confidence.
Qing Xiaoke, who likes to be a teacher, held on to the wooden railing, jumped up and down, and cheered for her good buddy. At this time, Yun Zhongyue not only waved to her generously, but even rode forward and came over to follow her
Said a few words.
"What are you looking at?" Seeing Su Lang staring blankly into the distance, Qing Xiaoke smiled and waved her little hand in front of his eyes.
"Nothing, just taking a look." He turned back calmly, still staring into the distance.
"Stingy, really. Alas, it turns out that jealous men are more hopeless than women." Qing Xiaoke teased.
Su Lang's eyes were still in the distance. He admitted that he was a little stingy, but he was not bored enough to make anyone jealous. He saw some very interesting things.
Qing Xiaoke's curiosity was overwhelming. She leaned towards Su Lang and followed his gaze and looked forward.
"There's something not quite right about that person."
Before Qing Xiaoke finished speaking, the horn that prompted Yun Zhongyue to charge sounded.
Yun Zhongyue urged his horse to leap out with his sword, and rushed into the wooden dummy formation. The mount was unparalleled, his equestrian skills were extremely good, and his control of the fire was just right. What shocked everyone was that Yun Zhongyue's sword skills were actually
He is so clever, fast, steady, accurate and ruthless, and has mastered the essence of cavalry tactics. This is extremely valuable for a Jiangnan warrior. It can be seen that he has put in hard work.
"I didn't expect this guy to be really thoughtful."
Qing Xiaoke also saw a clue. The children from Jiangnan are generally incompetent in the art of riding and shooting, not because they are stupid, but because of their inner contempt. Although they started with military exploits, a hundred years of wealth have already worn away their fighting spirit and they have turned to official careers and economics.
It was a last resort and a last resort. The Su family brothers had dull qualifications and were forced to change careers when they had no hope of cultivating themselves. In my impression, Yun Zhongyue shouldn't be like this.
In short, Qing Xiaoke suddenly felt a little disappointed in her good buddy.
She sighed slightly, pursed her lips and said, "Everyone is obsessed with it. Is being an official that good?"
This was said to himself at first, and then turned into a soul question and thrown to Su Lang.
Su Lang didn't want to answer questions like this. He pretended to care about Yun Zhongyue and stared intently at the heavy armored knight in the field.
But I saw him slashing left and right, blocking up and down, and one after another the wooden dummies were "dead" under his sword, and the swords were all in vital parts.
"Good sword skills!"
It felt uncomfortable to be despised. Qing Xiaoke gave Su Lang a big roll of his eyes and muttered: "What a good thing, if the turtle cuts the bastard, he will fall off his horse sooner or later."
Before he finished speaking, Su Lang suddenly stood up.
"What's wrong?!" Qing Xiaoke felt a little uneasy.
The stands were filled with joy, and everyone was cheering for Yun Zhongyue.
"No!" Su Lang suddenly shouted, pushed Qing Xiaoke away, jumped over the guardrail of the stands, and ran towards Yunzhongyue. At this moment, the white horse under Yunzhongyue suddenly let out a whine, and the two
One of its front legs fell to its knees heavily, and the owner on its back was pushed out viciously.
Heavily armored knights are most afraid of falling off their horses on the battlefield due to their heavy burdens. The thick armor can provide excellent protection to the knights on horseback, but it will bring extremely terrible and catastrophic consequences to the knights when they fall off their horses. Of course, this is not a battlefield.
Yun Zhongyue will not be captured or killed by the enemy after falling off the horse, but the thick armor will still cause him other injuries. For example, his left arm was fractured due to severe compression, and the ligaments of his right leg were also severely strained.
.
"Don't come close! No one is allowed to come close!"
"Anyone who dares to approach my young master will be killed!"
After Yunzhongyue fell from his horse, the retainers of the Yun family immediately rushed over from all directions. They formed a human wall with their blades facing outward, protecting Yunzhongyue on three levels inside and three outside.
Yun Zhongyue was the only hope of the Yun family. He was suddenly injured. It was not surprising that his family had such drastic actions. The Su brothers, Qing Yuqiu, Feng Hanming, Wu brothers and others who came later were also busy restraining their families and helping them.
The Yun family maintained order at the scene.
Qing Xiaoke saw Yun Zhongyue through the tangled heads. His cheeks were covered with sweat and tears. His handsome face was slightly ferocious due to pain. The fine armor not only failed to protect him, but hindered him.
This prevented everyone from rescuing him, forcing Shi Kongming to urgently cut off the straps and remove the armor worth thousands of gold to pieces.
