The Hundred-Inch Cavalry moved the target faster and farther. Qin Huaiyu couldn't help but become slightly nervous at this time.
Compared with the target, it is much worse.
Can't think about this!
He stopped his thoughts, drew his bow and nocked an arrow, and aimed it at the cavalry in the distance. He heard the sound of "Hugh" and the arrow flew out of the air and hit a cavalryman.
"Good archery skills." The friends in the audience cheered.
No matter how good the written test score is, it will at best make people feel knowledgeable, but riding and shooting is something you see with your own eyes, and the visual impact can be imagined.
Moreover, the Tang Dynasty relied on military force to establish its country, and the people of the Tang Dynasty were adept at martial arts and were strong in riding and shooting, which is even more admirable.
Qin Huaiyu continued to run wildly on his horse, with eyes like an eagle watching the rhythm tightly. Under the guidance of his father Qin Qiong, he understood that the key to archery is to kill the enemy. If he cannot shoot, it will be a waste of energy. On the battlefield
, whether you can fight to the end determines whether you can win and whether you can survive.
He would rather observe more than waste his energy and shoot arrows randomly to disrupt his own rhythm.
That's it now!
He raised his bow and shot an arrow, and he hit again!
"good!"
On the high platform, Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but stand up from his chair and said: "Good boy, I have learned how to ride and shoot. Not bad, very good!"
Only those who have experienced the battlefield understand how important it is to stay calm when the enemy is noisy. Even if Qin Huaiyu is a general and has Qin Qiong's teachings behind him, this does not necessarily mean that Qin Huaiyu can stay calm. After all, the master leads the door and practices in
Personally, most of the candidates outside the examination room are noble children of the Wu family. The adults in the family have combat experience. How many of them may have stayed calm in the examination room?
Often when they miss a hit, they will become more and more anxious later on, and the more anxious they are, the easier it is to lose confidence and patience, and ultimately fail completely.
Because once a person enters the battlefield, his blood will either be boiling and he will focus on killing and killing, or he will fear the enemy like a tiger and focus on escaping.
It is difficult for those who are not careful to keep calm. It is really rare for Qin Huaiyu to have such riding and shooting skills at his age.
Qin Qiong looked at her son's performance with a smile on her face. Although she looked calm on the outside, she was actually very nervous inside.
In front of His Majesty the Emperor, he naturally hoped that his son would perform well.
The time for half a stick of incense gradually ran out, Qin Huaiyu hit nine out of ten arrows, the hit rate was quite high, and the speed never slowed down, he was very organized, and the friends below looked at him with respect.
"Huaiyu is really getting more and more powerful." Cheng Chu took a breath silently. The Qin and Cheng families are close friends. Their parents have been close friends for life and death. He grew up with Qin Huaiyu since he was a child, and he knows this good friend best.
Unexpectedly, Qin Huaiyu opened his eyes again today.
winter!
As the beating of drums stopped, Qin Huaiyu's exam ended.
He stopped his horse and gasped for air. His hands were so sore that he could hardly hold the bow and arrow. Only now did he realize why his father often said that he was not qualified to go to the battlefield at all.
Just the mounted shooting exhausted his strength, but what about the charge and killing after the mounted shooting?
Does he still have the strength?
Sure enough, it's not enough.
"My head is still a little dizzy and I feel like vomiting." Qin Huaiyu murmured.
There was nothing to see in the next assessment. The candidates' performance was completely incomparable to Xue Li and Qin Huaiyu.
After the riding and archery assessment, the first university exam ends here. The results of all candidates will be announced at the end of December, and the university admission scores will also be announced at that time. Who can pass the exam and who can't?
You can tell at a glance.
"I respectfully see you off, Your Majesty." The subjects bowed to the emperor and watched as the emperor boarded the carriage and returned to the palace.
Immediately afterwards, the adults from each family took their children and gradually left.
Qin Qiong and her son were sitting in the carriage, talking about today's riding and shooting assessment.
"I think that in the eyes of my father, the one who can compete with you is Xue Li from Hedong. This son's performance is not inferior to yours, and His Majesty also appreciates it very much." Qin Qiong said with a smile.
No matter what the final result was, he would not blame his son, because Qin Huaiyu's performance today made him very satisfied.
"What about me?" Qin Huaiyu asked hurriedly: "What does your Majesty think of children?"
Qin Qiong smiled slightly and said, "Of course I appreciate it a lot."
"Oh." Qin Huaiyu nodded, not looking very excited.
Qin Qiong didn't quite understand what her son was thinking. Logically speaking, studies had come to an end and assessments had come to an end. In addition, the new year was about to come, so why didn't her son look very happy? When he just left the school, he was a little a little nervous.
The bastard was howling with excitement.

"What’s wrong with you?"
"No, I'm fine."
"Is everything okay?" Qin Qiong glanced at the expression on his son's face and said calmly: "Why, you can't tell the truth now even as a father?"
Qin Huaiyu hesitated a little, then gritted his teeth and said: "Sir, if my child can go to college and get the first place in riding and archery, can you...can you please invite me..."
"What?" Qin Qiong frowned and said, "A man should just say what he says. How can he act like a child and act coquettishly?"
Qin Huaiyu took a deep breath and said directly: "To be honest with you, I like Princess Jinyang."
"Ah?" Qin Qiong was dumbfounded.
Seeing his father's surprised attitude, Qin Huaiyu couldn't help but feel a little strange, "Sir, is it not possible?"
Qin Qiong's face was complicated. She didn't say yes, but she didn't say no either. In fact, when his son was seventeen or eighteen years old, he should have gotten married long ago. However, before that, he had always felt that he had to let his son study well and get a government job first, and then get married.
Find a lady from a good family and get your son engaged and married.
But he didn't expect that he wanted to be the princess.
Is this acceptable?
Considering Qin Qiong's status in the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor and his contribution to the Tang Dynasty, it is certainly possible, but the problem is that the other party is Princess Jinyang!
This is no ordinary princess, but the legitimate daughter of His Majesty the current Emperor and the Empress. She has been the most favored heir of the royal family since she was a child. It can be seen from her title, Princess Jinyang!
Jinyang, the place where His Majesty the Emperor Long raised his troops, could this be the title of an ordinary princess?
Moreover, none of the ministers in the court know that His Majesty the Emperor dotes on Princess Jinyang, and even the princes cannot match her even half.
"You have such a strong tone." Qin Qiong said with a complex expression: "Did you know that Princess Jinyang is His Majesty's beloved daughter?"
"My child knows." Qin Huaiyu lowered his head.
"Then do you know that you will inherit your father's Dukedom of Yue in the future?"
"Know."
"Then how can you honor the princess!" Qin Qiong sighed.
If Qin Huaiyu is the second son and really wants the princess, then he will go out of his way to ask His Majesty the Emperor for a marriage. It is not impossible for him to succeed. In this way, he can find an iron rice bowl for the second son in the future, no matter whether it is soft or hard.
Yes, at least he won't starve to death. Secondly, this will also allow him to have a closer connection with the royal family.
But the problem is, Qin Huaiyu is his eldest son, and he will inherit his title in the future and will become the lintel of the Qin family. If he becomes the princess, he will suffer some unspeakable political blow in the future, and the old Qin family will be doomed.
In fact, this was also the normal operation of the nobles in the Sui and Tang dynasties. The eldest son of the family inherited the title, and the second son, Princess Shang, was a double insurance.
If Qin Qiong has two sons, the eldest inherits his title and the second is a princess, then when they grow up and separate, they can take care of each other. If one of them is in trouble, the other can save them. Even if they cannot be saved, they can still maintain the same lineage.
Of course, except for crimes of treason and treason, which are destined to be implicated.
But no matter what, it is a fact that Princess Shang can have a closer connection with the royal family, and the eldest son can inherit his title. In this way, no matter what, his sons can enjoy glory and wealth.
But the problem is, Qin Qiong only has one son, Qin Huaiyu.
How can this be considered a princess?
More importantly, the other party is Princess Jinyang, the eldest princess of the Tang Empire.
