"This matter can be easily handled. Song Xin and that girl, come here." He Kui extended his hand to greet Song Xin and Li Hansu.

Naturally, the soldiers did not dare to stop him. Li Hansu walked up to Song Xin and saw that the bow string in his hand had been broken, "Master...this..."

He Kui grabbed the bow, put it under his arm, and handed his bow and four arrows to Song Xin, "Sir, now that Song Xin has a bow and arrows, he can take the exam."

Then, without waiting for Zhang Zhao's reply, he said, "Song Xin, today you will shoot upward, and Zheng Yue will shoot downward." Then he called out the names of the other four people, divided them into groups of six, and each group shot upward.

There are two shots in the middle and two shots in the bottom.

As soon as this statement came out, not only Zhang Zhao, but also Zheng Yue was stunned. Didn't this make him look embarrassed?

Song Xin hurriedly thanked him. Zhang Zhao did not dare to offend He Kui too much, so he had to give up temporarily and announced the start of the shooting ceremony. "Master Si She, please do the bait shooting."

He knew that He Kui took a bow with a broken bowstring and wanted to make him look embarrassed in front of everyone.

He Kui naturally knew what he meant. Originally, as the chief archer, he could say that he was short of arrows. If he didn't force it, he could just draw the bow without firing the arrow out of respect for etiquette. But He Kui's character was not one that would give in easily. He saw that

Looking at the broken bow string in his hand, he saw that the break was at the lower part of the bow, so he bit the bow string knot with his teeth, and then bent the bow. However, the bow string was missing a section, and the bow arm was bent even more.

Zhang Zhao looked at He Kui, with a sneer on his lips, and thought to himself: "I wonder how you can draw this bow."

"Sir, let me help you." Song Xin walked over and put a hand on his arm. He Kui nodded and successfully hung up the bowstring.

He Kui held his bow and bowed from the west of the hall, saluting to the north. Then he faced west and stepped on the shooting position symbol with his left foot.

Then he turned his head to the south, stared at the middle of the target, then leaned down to look at his feet, adjusted his stance, and finally slowly raised the bow. Standing not far away, Song Xin could still hear the rattling sound of the bow arm tightening, for fear that it would be pulled.

Broken.

"Song Xin, look at me." At this time, Xiaoyu's voice came, and then a faint soul power floated over and flashed on He Kui's bow arm. He Kui suddenly felt a little lighter, and then he

As soon as his hand was released, a flying arrow shot out and hit the target.

"Good archery skills!" Everyone couldn't help but admire him after seeing it. He Kui drew his bow and fired three arrows in a row, but only one arrow failed to hit the target.

The person who reports the target in the shooting ceremony is called the "winner". After he finishes shooting, he walks out from behind the target, takes off the arrow, inserts it into the arrow stand on the west, and then returns to the original position.

He Kui put the bow under his arm and said loudly: "If you shoot, you will not catch anything, and you will not catch anything!" This sentence means that the "winner" behind the target is not allowed to be frightened or injured.

He Kui walked up to Song Xin and said, "This is the great shooting ceremony. It's slightly different from what you learned before. Have you remembered my steps?"

Song Xin nodded, "Thank you sir, I have remembered it all."

After speaking, Song Xin walked into a group of them and began to perform the shooting ceremony according to He Kui's etiquette. When he walked to Zhang Zhao and saluted, Zhang Zhao returned the salute to the other five people, but only Song Xin saluted.

, he tilted his head to one side and pretended not to see it.

Song Xin didn't care. He followed the five people in front to the shooting position symbol and stepped on it. Song Xin wanted to shoot upwards and asked Si She to get an arrow. A young man beside him who was also shooting upwards did not wait for him.

, directly drew the bow and fired the arrow, but unfortunately it missed a little and only hit the edge of the target. Then he quickly shot out the remaining three arrows, but only two of them hit the red heart. The young man sighed with dissatisfaction.

Take a breath.

Song Xin looked at the target, but did not draw the bow.

A Jiang and Song Mu saw Song Xin

I was ostracized everywhere here and felt very uncomfortable. But when I saw him standing still, I thought he was timid.

"Hey, why doesn't he shoot arrows!?" Many people in the watching crowd also asked similar questions.

Zhang Zhaodao: "Song Xin, why don't you draw your bow? Are you cowardly?"

He Kui also looked at Song Xin with confusion on his face. He knew Song Xin's archery skills and also knew that his bow was not heavy. There was no way that Song Xin could not draw the bow because of timidity.

"Sir, please let the winner stay away from the target." Song Xin said with a helpless smile.

He Kui was startled and was about to ask when he saw Zhang Zhao shouting loudly, "Song Xin, the winner is the one who shot the gift target. How can you leave the target at will? Do you want to cheat!?"

Song Xin looked at Zhang Zhao and said, neither humble nor overbearing: "Sir, I'm just afraid of hurting the winner, so I told him not to get too close to the target. I'm afraid that the flying arrow will pass through the target and hurt him."

As soon as this statement came out, the audience burst into laughter, "Hahaha, what? This kid actually said that he can shoot through the target?"

Mother Song and Ajiang also didn't believe it. They looked at each other and felt a little embarrassed.

"That's right. Mr. He couldn't shoot through the target. How dare he be so arrogant!?"

“I don’t know how high the sky is and how high it is!”

The princes cursed and ridiculed Song Xin. But Song Xin looked at He Kui calmly, waiting for his answer.

He Kui nodded, "The winner behind the target should step back and hide behind the shield."

The winners also found it funny, but they still stepped back and stood behind the big shield behind the target.

"Is it okay?" He Kui asked.

songs

Song Xin caught the drum beat, drew the bow, drew the bow, and released the arrow, all in one go.

The flying arrow hit the target instantly, but the remaining power of the arrow seemed not to be exhausted, and it still trembled on the red heart of the target for a long time before stopping.

"The strength is too low." Song Xin thought to himself, then took a few steps back with the bow and took another arrow.

"What, you're just trying to be mysterious, I think it's just a little bit too strong." Someone muttered in a low voice.

"Yes, you still have to let the winners stand far away, and you say it will hurt them. It's just sensational! It's frivolous!"

Ajaan felt unhappy when he heard these harsh words, but he did not dare to say anything. People here are either rich or noble, and they cannot afford to offend them.

Zheng Yue, who was at the end of the team, smiled contemptuously. Although his shooting was not so accurate, it was not bad.

"Humph, what kind of mystery are you trying to make!"

Song Xin took out another arrow, added a little more force, and shot out with a bang. The arrow penetrated more than an inch into the target. Song Xin already felt that the bow was reaching its limit, but there was still room to dig.

Song Xin did not mean to show off his strength, but he treated every shot as if he were facing the enemy on the battlefield. They would not be polite. He had to shoot an arrow through their armor and directly kill them.

.

By the fourth arrow, Song Xin could already feel it in his hand. At this time, the drums were beating urgently, but Song Xin's heart was as calm as water. He slowly drew the bow, and the bow arm began to rattle due to the huge tension.

"Dong" the last drum beat fell, Song Xin twisted his fingers and released them with a pop, and the flying arrow seemed to cut through the sky and the earth. No one had seen it yet.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

It was clear that the target had been hit. This time, it penetrated the target directly, leaving only a section of feathers exposed on the red heart, which was very eye-catching. The winner behind the target saw the sharp section behind the target.

The arrow suddenly made him break into a cold sweat. If he hadn't stepped back just now, he might have been shot through his head.

The whole place suddenly fell silent...

One sentence popped up in many people's minds: This is simply a monster.

After Song Xin shot the last arrow, he returned to his position and stood with his bow in hand.

I don't know who suddenly shouted, "Okay!" The silence was instantly broken, and then the whole audience burst into cheers.

The winner also came to his senses, hurriedly walked to the target, took down the four arrows with great effort, and shouted loudly: "Four hits! All red hearts!"

"Four hearts!" Many people were shocked. Zheng Yue stood at the end,

"I hit!" Li Hansu was extremely excited. At this time, Song Xin put away his bow and arrow, put it on his waist, and saluted everyone.

Then, the messenger announced Zheng Yue's name. When he saw that Song Xin had received applause from the whole hall, he felt nervous. He walked to the shooting range, took a deep breath, and began to perform the ceremony.

As soon as the sound of the drum changed, Zheng Yue fired his arrow, but the arrow flew out of the target like a ghost and landed on the sand not far away.

Zheng Yue shook his head angrily and took out another one. But today he didn't know whether it was because of his anger or because Song Xin's grades were so good. He shot three arrows in a row but failed to hit the red heart. The winner raised his hand and said loudly: "Three arrows."

Hit! One miss!”

Suddenly the crowd burst into laughter, and Zheng Yue's face turned red with embarrassment. At the same time, he also felt strange why his arrow missed the target.

After finishing the shooting ceremony, they stood in a row again, waiting for Zhang Zhao's comment. Originally, a complete shooting ceremony required one, two, three, and four times, and all the etiquettes were the same.

Today is to test the proficiency of school etiquette, and it doesn’t matter how many points you score. So the remaining three rounds were cancelled.

Zhang Zhao glanced at the six people in front of him one by one, and he was full of praise when commenting on the others. When Zheng Yue arrived, Zhang Zhao took a look and said: "Although he didn't win, he has good etiquette and rules. He is considered average."

Although salute archery does not require accurate shooting, the main emphasis is on whether the etiquette is elegant and proficient. No one can say that Zhang Zhao is partial, but the miss of this arrow was still average, which inevitably caused some discussion.

Zheng Yue walked down with a look of reluctance, and then heard Song Xin say: "Brother Zheng is elegant in appearance, I can learn from you."

"Huh!" Zheng Yue snorted and turned to leave. After taking a few steps, he turned around and said in a cold tone: "You can't be crazy for much longer."

Song Xin responded with a sneer. When he arrived at Song Xin's place, Zhang Zhao gave him a cold look and said, "My accuracy is acceptable, but my etiquette is not yet proficient. Moreover, I am deliberately showing off, which is inconsistent with etiquette. I will judge him as inferior."

He knew that if Song Xin was really not allowed to pass today, he might not be able to explain it to everyone, but he also couldn't let Song Xin comfortably get a good review.

When Zheng Yue saw that Song Xin actually got a lower rank, he was so ecstatic that he subconsciously cursed in a low voice, "You're showing off!"

But these words were keenly captured by Song Xin. He glanced at Zhang Zhao and Zheng Yue and saw that the two men's eyes were sarcastic towards him.

However, Song Xin didn't ask for anything, as long as he successfully passed the quarter review, he would be fine. He took his family and prepared to go back to his residence, when Liu Mi came out of nowhere and walked straight towards Song Xin

.

"Hey, Brother Song, are these your mother-in-law and your sister-in-law?"
