Chen Kaizhi was yelling injustice in his heart, but he did not show anything on his face. All of this was the rules of the Taizu period. The Taizu period was different from now. At that time, there were many children who raised horses in Guanzhong and Guandong. These were the main force of the martial arts scholars. But gradually, the world was peaceful and no children were willing to raise horses by themselves. Raising horses became entertainment for wealthy families.

In the early years, it was said that he did not provide horses at all when riding and shooting, but he led the horses himself. Now he is very polite to provide you with official horses.

Next, the examiner began to sing his name. He called out ten candidates first. The ten candidates boarded outside the school grounds and checked the bows and arrows on their bodies and the feathered arrows in the quiver. After a call, the drums suddenly sounded like thunder and the horns were continuous.

Immediately, ten candidates rose up one after another and rushed towards the school ground like lightning.

This school field is a huge circular track, and there are ten targets on one side of the track. Whenever the candidates speed to this side, they need to shoot arrows and hit their respective targets.

Whoever shoots more and reaches the finish line as fast as possible will win.

This is actually an extremely simple rule, but it also tests everyone the most.

Chen Kaizhi stared at the horseman with his eyes focused, quickly capturing the movements of the ten candidates. After the drums rang out, someone else had already burst into cheers outside the school grounds.

When the first time, the candidates flew to the side of the target, they all let go of the reins and controlled the horse with their legs. One of the candidates did not control it, and they were tilted and then they were thrown out directly.

Suddenly, the crowd burst into laughter.

Other candidates bent their bows and arrows, then loosened their strings, and the feather arrows flew out, whistling towards the target.

All of this is extremely fast and almost indistinguishable to the naked eye.

But Chen Kaizhi saw a real look at the trajectory of nine fast-forward feather arrows. Although they had not yet hit the target, Chen Kaizhi already knew that six of them had missed.

Archery and riding are completely different concepts.

Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this archery is straight and unmoving, and it is easy to hit the bull's eye. But on the horse, not only do you have to rely on your legs to control the horse, but during the high-speed movement, you have to seize a slight gap and shoot an arrow. This is a huge difficulty.

As expected, all six arrows were shot missed.

Only three hits, these candidates were all speeding, and the crowd gave them huge cheers without being free.

In the second round, he only got one arrow.

In the third round, he failed to even have an arrow.

I think this kind of Mercedes-Benz consumes a lot of physical strength. After a few rounds, the physical strength of these candidates has reached their limit.

After the fifth round, many people were already exhausted. Even the BMW under the seat could not bear it, so the horse speed began to decline. However, while the horse speed decreased, the accuracy of the flying shooting increased a lot, and four more people hit it.

Until the tenth round, these people rode their horses and reached the finish line slowly, spending a total of one and a half incense sticks, and the person who shot the most was only shot four arrows.

But even so, the person who was shot in the four arrows was panting, but was proud, as if he was almost sure, enjoying the cheers of many people.

The Prince of Beihai, sitting in the south, was watching the juren who was shot in four arrows with fun, and asked Mr. Mi who was beside him with great enthusiasm, "Who is this person?"

Mi Yibo was aware of the strong memory, so he whispered: "I called Wang Tao, and I made my mark in the martial arts examination."

"Is he from Luoyang?"

Mi Yi shook his head: "Your Highness, he is a native of Chang'an for thousands of years."

"That's it." The Prince of Beihai looked at Mi Yi, and a meaningful smile appeared on his lips, and then said again: "After riding and shooting, I will give this person a post in my name. Tonight, I will invite him to drink."

Mi Yi nodded. He knew the meaning of the Prince of Beihai. The Prince of Beihai loved bows and horses the most. When he met such a skilled bows and horses, he would have to want to make friends with him.

Of course, this is actually just an open cover. In the army, all the princes of Beihai have a very high reputation because he usually won people's hearts.

The prince of Beihai's eyes fell on the school ground again, and he couldn't help but show a hint of praise: "It's amazing to be able to hit four arrows, and it's amazing, not to mention that his bow and horse are not of high quality. If I give him a good bow and another BMW, I'm afraid I'll shoot more than four arrows."

Mi Yi nodded and said, "Your Highness, if he knows, he will be grateful. Your Highness... Are you holding a banquet in Zuixian Curie today? A new kitchen comes there..."

The Prince of Beihai shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's hold a banquet in the mansion and invite all the guests. Mr. Fang said that I have encountered a disaster star, so it's better to be careful. I'll avoid wandering outside recently."

The smile on Mi Yi's face suddenly stiffened, and a hint of hatred flashed through his eyes.

It's Mr. Fang again.

He couldn't help but feel jealous. He was a scholar from Yansheng Gong's Mansion. Where did he place him? He was not a respected person? Now, in the mind of Prince Wang Hai, he was not as good as a scholar.

This damn guy is cheating, and sooner or later he will expose him; sooner or later, he will die ugly.

Naturally, no matter how uncomfortable he felt, Mi Yi's face still smiled and said, "Yes, Your Highness, although you should not believe it all, it's always good to be careful."

On the other side, the Empress Dowager sat dignifiedly in the shed, but she could still see her enthusiasm from her expression. Zhang Jing, who was standing by, patiently explained the matters in the schoolyard to the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager was confused and said softly: "You talked to the Ai family, but the Ai family didn't understand. The Ai family only asked you, "Do you have a chance to pass the test?"

"This..." Zhang Jing hesitated for a while, and finally told him: "I saw that Chen Kaizhi did not lead a horse, and did not have a good horse and a good bow, so I was afraid... I was a little hungry, and this was a martial arts test. After all, Chen Kaizhi was a scholar of literary talent. After all, he was defeated by a military strategy, which only means that he was good at dancing and writing. But this bow and horse was not a matter of relying on a pen, so I thought... I thought..."

Of course, Zhang Jing understood that the Empress Dowager wanted Chen Kai to pass the test, so he couldn't bear to continue talking about what happened later.

This is obvious. A literati is stuck in the crowd of military men, and Chen Kaizhi is naturally at a disadvantage. It is difficult to pass the test and the chances are slim.

The Empress Dowager understood what Zhang Jing meant, and couldn't help but laugh and sighed lightly: "Yes, it's the same when I think about it. In fact, he was the first in the military strategist, so the Ai family was deeply surprised."

Even though she said this, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and gradually reduced her interest in riding and shooting. She sat indifferently, with her phoenix eyes floating around, looking for Chen Kaizhi's figure.

At this time, another group of martial arts scholars appeared, and the whole school was filled with people.

The enthusiastic scene at the beginning gradually cooled down. Except for a person who won the Five Arrows, most of them had mediocre results.

Chen Kaizhi looked at it intently, and was roughly calculating in his mind.

He couldn't help but think of Wang Yangxin. Wang Yangxin abandoned literature and followed martial arts. In theory, he was not skilled in bows and horses, but where did he get the confidence that he could be a martial arts master?

Wang Yangxin is right next to him, and seems to always want to take some opportunity to sarcastically mock Chen Kai.

Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but turn his head to look at him and said, "Brother Wang's bow and horse are not skilled either."

Chen Kaizhi had been ignoring Wang Yangxin just now, but now he suddenly asked, but Wang Yangxin looked at him with contempt and smiled proudly.

"If I appear, I can shoot at most two arrows. Among these martial arts scholars, the grades are of course general, even at a low level, but since our Wang family asked me to take the martial arts exam, how could we not be sure of winning? There are probably only a hundred people in the archery and horse rankings, of which at least fifty of them, and the scores of the archery and horse exam are low. I rely solely on the archery and horses, even if the archery and horses are worse than them, their scores can still be above them. As for the other 40 people, I have already had accurate calculations. My overall score is enough to rank around thirty, and being able to enter the top thirty is enough to enter the list. This is enough for me."

Chen Kaizhi finally understood why the Wang family was tampering with military strategies and ranked second directly. It turned out that behind this, they had been actuarial. This father named Wang was really scheming and had a lot of trouble for this son.

In this way, in their expectation, as long as there is no accident, Wang Yangxin will still be able to pass the Jinshi.

Chen Kaizhi had another question: "What if someone stands out and appears completely outside your plan?"

Wang Yangxin arrogantly gave Chen Kaiyi's eyes: "No one will appear outside the plan. The only thing that happens is that you won the first place in the martial arts world."

Chen Kaizhi thought to himself, if he could defeat Wang Yangxin, wouldn’t it be...

His eyes narrowed slightly, as if his blood was boiling. Since he had come here, he would have to fight for it no matter what.

Wang Yangxin finally made his debut. He and several other candidates rose up together. Sure enough, he was only hit by two arrows.

But this was obviously his best result. Therefore, when the outcome was over, Wang Yangxin was not upset, but instead showed a look of relief on his face. His eyes couldn't help but look at Wang Fuen, father and son in the distance, each showing joyful smiles.

The drums sounded like thunder again.

At this moment, someone finally sang Chen Kaizhi's name.

So Chen Kaizhi took a deep breath, picked up the bow and arrow, and when someone brought him an official horse, he saw that the fur and spirit of the official horse were obviously a little worse.
Chapter completed!
