Chapter 30 The first match of the ring (4)
The Song Dynasty was 10 meters and 17 meters and 2 meters were about 6 meters and 3 meters. It would be impossible to put an arrow into the mouth of a small bowl six meters away without practicing hard for two or three years.
But for Wang Gui and Tang Huai, this was the only chance they could perform, and both of them were scrambling to answer this question.
As the legitimate grandson of two wealthy families in Xiaohe Township, they also practice martial arts with house guardians at home while studying. Archery is a compulsory course for them.
Wang Gui rolled up his sleeves and said, "I shoot arrows at home. I can hit the target five feet away, and ten arrows can hit seven arrows. This question is my fault."
"Nonsense! Last time you shot archery at my house, I lost to me, so of course I will go." Tang Huai suppressed Wang Gui without accepting it.
At this time, Li Yanqing asked Yue Fei with a smile: "Didn't the fifth brother practice martial arts too?"
Yue Fei is the neighbor of Wang Gui and Tang Huai. The three of them grew up together and he also practiced martial arts with them. However, he is talented and has far better martial arts than Wang Gui. However, after entering the school, Yue Fei had no time to shoot arrows in Wang Gui's backyard. Instead, he squatted horse stance in his yard and ran at night with iron sandbags. His basic skills were very solid.
Yue Fei smiled bitterly and said, "You can try something else, but I can't compare to these two people when shooting archery."
"Then stop fighting!"
Li Yanqing stopped the dispute between Wang Gui and Tang Huai and said to them: "I am the Lord and answer, of course I am the one who comes!"
"You can't!" Wang Gui and Tang Huai opposed in unison.
Li Yanqing didn't argue with them either. He pinched two pieces of paper into small balls, one of which was placed on Yue Fei's table. He threw the ball of paper in his hand through Wang Gui and Tang Huai, and accurately hit the ball of paper seven feet away.
"Or come and try it out too."
Wang Gui and Tang Huai closed their mouths at the same time.

A four-foot-high thin-necked round-bellied copper pot was placed beside the wall. After measuring two yamen runners, they drew a line. The arrow was a standard copper pot, about seven inches long and weighed eight taels, and the feel was very good.
Li Yanqing found that he had such special ability when chopping wood. This was the talent of Sha Er in the past. He took quick action and shot flying stones within a few feet. He scored every shot, which was quite like Zhang Qing's unique skill without feather arrows.
According to the father's description, the second stupid thing in the past should be autism. Most children with autism have one or two special talents.
He repeatedly pondered and realized that he had gradually integrated this talent into himself. Today was his first performance in public.
At this time, the debate tests in both A and B were over. Both the Jinli Town Academy and Tangbeixiang Academy defeated their opponents without any suspense. The scholars rushed to the windows on both sides to watch the game. The boy's first competition in five years happened here.
What makes everyone even more incredible is that the Lushan Town Academy, which is recognized as the weakest, actually scored two points in a row and gained the upper hand in the final battle question. I wonder if this student's last blow can rewrite the "glorious history" of Lushan Town Academy.
At the same time, he will also become the third person in Tangyin County's literary ejaculation, two feet away from home. I don't know who gave this question, it's simply amazing.
The magistrate Liu Zhen and the county magistrate Ma Fu also sat on the main stage. The two sat on one side. Liu Zhen sat next to the judge. The magistrate pointed at Li Yanqing with a pen and wrote three words on the paper, "A child prodigy", and presented it to the magistrate together with the couplet.
After reading the couplet, Liu Zhen showed a look of surprise in his eyes. He suddenly became interested in Li Yanqing.
Ma County Magistrate and He Zhen, who were sitting on the other side, quickly exchanged a glance. He Zhen told Magistrate Ma that if the arrow was shot in, Weinan Town Academy would be eliminated. Magistrate Ma had promised himself to ensure that they would enter the top three in the ring competition.
County Ma’s promise was exchanged for three hundred taels of silver. If the promise was not fulfilled, what should I do if the silver was done?
County Ma, avoided He Zhen's blamed eyes, slowly drank tea, raised his eyelids, and stared at Li Yanqing's slightly tender back. Two feet of literary ejaculation, can this elementary school student do it?
After Li Yanqing stood on the line, he took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, calmed himself down, and looked for feelings. He suddenly opened his eyes, waved his hand, and the bronze arrow took action without hesitation.
But just as he made a move, a crisp sound came from behind him. This was the sound of the cup breaking. Li Yanqing's hand was involuntarily trembling, but the crisp sound was still a little late. The sound came only after the bronze arrow took action. Although his hand trembled slightly, it did not affect the bronze arrow.
The bronze arrow drew a beautiful arc in the air, and with a "dong!" sound, it accurately threw it into the quiver pot two feet away.
The two things happened almost at the same time. County Ma Fu looked at the broken porcelain pieces on the ground with awkward face. The teacup in his hand accidentally landed on the ground. The magistrate Liu Zhen glanced at him sideways and said nothing.
The presiding judge was even more surprised. He didn't understand why the county magistrate's teacup was landed at this critical moment.
He Zhen's face turned pale, and the four students in Weinan Town covered their faces with sadness and started crying, and they were eliminated.
Just then, cheers burst out from the room. Wang Gui and Tang Huai jumped up, jumping and jumping excitedly. Yue Fei stood up and walked forward and hugged Li Yanqing tightly. They won, and even a big smile appeared on Yao Ding's face. Five years have passed, and he tasted the taste of victory for the first time.

Li Yanqing returned to the inn in dizzy. He was dizzy by the chattering of Wang Gui and Tang Huai. As soon as he walked into the yard, he was picked up by the inn's winter melon shopkeeper and ran into the lobby.
"Brother Qing'er has given us the face of Xiaohe Township Mayor. I will give you a good reward tonight!"
"Okay! OK! Everyone calm down and listen to me."
Yao Ding's voice was loud, and the lobby suddenly became quiet.
"Today is just a preliminary competition. We have only taken the first step of the boys' meeting. Now calm down and think about how to deal with the battle tomorrow. I hope you will also go out in the second step."
"Master, who will we play against tomorrow?" Li Yanqing raised his hand and asked.
At this time, Tang Zhengzong walked in and said to everyone in a deep voice: "He Tangbeixiang School."
"What?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment. Tangbeixiang Academy won the championship for three consecutive years. Last year, it was just because of the plot and retreated early to the test. But that's it. They were also the number one in the ring match last year, and they actually played against the recognized strongest team. They felt heavy in their hearts.
Tang Zhengzong said to everyone again: "Just just now, the magistrate drew a hall ticket, from A to B to Ding Tang, you are in B and Tangbei Township in A, so you two encounter the rematch."
"Don't be depressed anymore."
Yao Ding raised his voice and said to everyone: "The other two are the School of Wuli Town and School of Tangyin County. They are both equally strong teams for you, and they will be sad when they meet any one. In order to maintain their physical strength, the shopkeeper specially cooked for you at noon, went upstairs to write poems after dinner, and the title has been prepared for you."
At this time, the shopkeeper walked out of the canteen and clapped his hands and smiled: "The food is ready, let's have a meal!"
"Uncle Shopkeeper, what's the delicious food?" Wang Gui asked, touching his stomach that was about to be hungry.
"It's just a little casual at noon, eat meat buns and drink Laba porridge. The side dishes are honey-stained tofu, chicken-yuan fish soup and mutton sauce, and have a good meal in the evening."
When they heard that there were meat buns, Wang Gui and Tang Huai rushed into the canteen, grabbed one of them and stuffed them into their mouths. Li Yanqing and Yue Fei sat down a little carelessly, both of whom were listening to the conversation in the screen.
Yao Ding and Tang Zhengzong sat in the elegant seat surrounded by a screen. Yao Ding used a spoon to scoop up his favorite fine white fish soup and tasted it. Then he said to Tang Zhengzong: "Be careful today."
Tang Zhengzong was shocked, "Is something wrong?"
Yao Ding said coldly: "Nothing happened, but County Ma's teacup fell too in time today."
Tang Zhengzong also heard that County Ma was suspected of deliberately interfering with the competition, so he nodded and said, "Sure enough, I've hit it. He Zhen went to visit County Ma last night to have a deep meaning, but Weinan Town has been eliminated. I think there should be no more accidents. After all, he is the County Magistrate!"
Yao Ding didn't say anything. He slowly drank the wine in the glass, glanced at Li Yanqing through the crack of the screen, and then slowly said: "Qing Ge'er's father is Li Daqi."
Tang Zhengzong opened his mouth wide in shock, and looked back at Li Yanqing in panic. After a while, he came to his senses, "No way! Will Ma County Master remember what happened a few years ago?"
Yao Ding snorted disdainfully, "It depends on what's going on. I guess a certain county magistrate will remember this kind of thing for the rest of his life."
"That's right!"
Tang Zhengzong said thoughtfully: "He was going to be promoted to magistrate because of that incident, but there was a scandal for the substitute exam. Although the dirty water was poured on Li Daqi, he was still affected and the opportunity for promotion was gone. If he knew that Qing Ge'er was Li Daqi's son...."
After pausing, Tang Zhengzong said again: "But there are rumors in the county that Liu Ma and Magistrate Magistrate Ma, has Master Yao heard of it?"
Yao Ding smiled faintly, "I teach in a remote countryside, and I turn a blind eye to the things outside the window. How could I know these rumors about catching wind and shadows."
"This matter is really not a stolen shadow. Last year, when our Hebei West Road Transport Author Wang Xianggong passed through Tangyin County, someone sent a letter to inform Liu Magistrate Liu that he took advantage of the opportunity to clear the Yongji Canal to take 3,000 stolen money. I heard that Liu Magistrate Liu's relationship with Bianjing was left in vain."
Tang Zhengzong's voice became lower and lower, and his body was getting closer and closer to the table, as if he was talking about a big event that the government would be killed when he heard it, but he didn't notice that his sleeves were rolled into the fish soup on the table.
Yao Ding frowned and quickly pulled out his wet sleeves from the fish soup. He looked at the fish soup with heartache and took a sip. This is the most famous thin white fish in Tangyin County! It costs a whole lot of money to sell in winter.
"Ah! I'm so sorry, I'll ask the shopkeeper to make another one and count it on my account." Tang Zhengzong waved to the shopkeeper and was about to explain to the shopkeeper.
"No!"
Yao Ding pulled him down and continued the topic just now, "I seem to understand what you mean. Do you want to say that it was County Ma who submitted to the magistrate's prosecutor to send a letter?"
At this time, the shopkeeper came to pack the fish soup bowl. Tang Zhengye quickly closed his mouth. When the shopkeeper left, he lowered his voice and said, "If County Magistrate Liu falls, then County Ma will take over. He is the biggest profiteer. Anyway, since then, the conflict between the two has become a bit public. I think County Magistrate Liu must have known something."
In fact, Yao Ding knew very well what the conflict between Liu and Ma was. It involved party struggles. Liu Magistrate was a disciple of Wang Jinggong in his later years, and Ma County Magistrate was a fellow townsman of Sima Xianggong. After Cai Jing erected the Yuanyou Party Monument, it was difficult for Liu and Ma to work together.
However, these two people were slight in the court and were too lazy to care about it, because they were not as Tang Zhengzong said to fight for power and profit.
But Yao Ding did not care about the internal struggles in Tangyin County. Anyway, even if the magistrate or county magistrate was dismissed, his son would not be promoted. On the contrary, he had only met a good disciple in his life, and he would have to protect Li Yanqing.
"I think Brother Qing is just a six-year-old child. Although County Ma is not the prime minister, he is not as small as a six-year-old child! He said that there are really some small shoes. We just want to withdraw from the competition and return to the countryside. There is no need to compete with them for this false reputation."
