If you only hit the target but not the bull's-eye, you can only count one cumulative score. And if three of the nine arrows do not hit the bull's-eye, this score will be useless.

If you fail to hit the target, not only will you not be able to advance, but you will also lose the accumulated points.

Boom!

Suddenly a drum beat sounded and spread throughout the martial arts school.

This is the order to shoot arrows.

All of a sudden, there was only a whooshing sound.

More than a hundred martial arts candidates fired arrows together.

In the blink of an eye, the candidates relaxed, but arrow clusters were planted on the opposite target.

In the VIP stand, Emperor Chen and his ministers did not speak. They were quietly waiting for the captain to come and report the result of the arrow.

After the martial arts examination candidates release their arrows, they can rest for a while and wait for the captain to record and report the arrow hit situation, or to change the target to a new one before proceeding to the next round.

Soon, the captains were finished.

The situation of arrow hitting is as follows:

Han Qingshan, Lin Bochang, Huang Zhigao, and more than fifty people in the front row all shot through the bullseye!

"More than fifty people shot through the bullseye?"

"A person who shoots a bull's-eye with one arrow is considered a leader in the army..."

"This batch of martial arts candidates seems not to be easy. Except for the first few, the fifty or sixty at the back should not be underestimated."

The ministers in the VIP stand were talking and whispering to each other, having different thoughts and saying whatever they wanted.

After another drumbeat, the second round of rifle fire was completed.

The school captain came to report that this time, in addition to Han Qingshan, Lin Bochang, and Huang Zhigao, more than forty people in front of him also shot through the bullseye.

The third arrow, the number of people who shot through the bullseye dropped to more than thirty...

…

There are only nine arrows in total, which is very fast.

In the blink of an eye, more than a hundred martial arts candidates all completed the step shooting event and left the stage one by one.

There was silence in the VIP stands, as Emperor Chen and other ministers were waiting for the results of the captain's statistics.

After a while, the final result came out:

There were two candidates who shot all nine arrows through the bullseye, namely Han Qingshan and Lin Bochang.

Among the seven arrows that pierced the bullseye, one was Huang Zhigao.

Then below are those who shot through the bullseye with six arrows, five arrows, and four arrows. These people include Liu Anping, Wu Shaoguang, Niu Gang, Zhu Li, etc.

In addition, more than 20 people failed to meet the requirement of hitting the bullseye with three arrows and were eliminated and could not continue to participate in the next martial arts event.

Emperor Chen was very satisfied with the result and praised: "Han Qingshan and Lin Bochang are both rare generals. This martial arts competition cost a lot of manpower and material resources, but just these two talents can be worth the time spent."

Manpower and material resources are enough..."

After Emperor Chen finished praising her, he took Concubine You and drove back to the palace.

Because the only martial arts events scheduled today were mounted archery and infantry archery, both have now been completed. Not only did Emperor Chen drive back to the palace, but all the ministers also left their seats and got up, preparing to return to the city.

Outside the martial arts school.

As Zhu Xiuyuan walked, he told Zhou Dong that he was going to pat his butt and act as a hands-off shopkeeper, completely leaving the arrangements for the martial arts school and the candidates to Zhou Dong.

Behind Zhu Xiuyuan is Li Jiye.

Behind Li Jiye are Dong Shuzhen and Li Qingnu.

The two women held hands with each other and chatted all the way, not knowing what they were talking about.

Zhu Xiuyuan walked slowly, explaining at the same time.

Zhou Dong bowed slightly, followed, and nodded along the way.

After a while, Zhu Xiuyuan walked to the carriage and everyone stopped.

"Today's martial arts competition ends relatively early. You should take advantage of this time to clean everything inside and outside..." Zhu Xiuyuan hadn't finished his instructions.

"I understand!" Zhou Dong leaned in front of Zhu Xiu and nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, that's about it. You don't have to give it away. Go back and make arrangements. Remember, if you have any problems, you need to come to me immediately to solve the problem. The badge I gave you can be used through the hanging basket after the city is closed.

When you return to the city, don't forget..." Zhu Xiuyuan kept talking.

"I understand!" Zhou Dong took the trouble and listened very carefully.

"Okay, let's go back!" Zhu Xiuyuan waved his hand.

Zhou Dong cupped his hands and said "yes", then turned around and disappeared into the martial arts school...

Zhu Xiuyuan stared at Zhou Dong's back and was about to greet Dong Shuzhen to get in the car. At this moment, a voice called "Uncle Jiangcheng" suddenly sounded from behind him.

Zhu Xiuyuan turned around and looked, but it turned out to be Han Qingshan, walking towards him with a smile. Behind him were his two brothers, Zhu Li and Niu Gang.

"Mr. Han, haha!"

Zhu Xiuyuan took two steps to greet them. After greeting each other, Zhu Xiuyuan smiled and said: "Mr. Han's performance on the school field today really shocked me. I remember a few days ago, Mr. Han once said that he would win the martial arts

Regarding the number one scholar, at that time, I thought that Mr. Han was arrogant, but now it seems that I have misjudged him. His talent is unparalleled by almost no one!"

"Jiang Chengbo is serious. It's just mounted archery and infantry archery. It's just a small skill. How dare you be praised as 'unmatched'..."

Han Qingshan was wearing a Confucian shirt, a square hat on his head, and holding a folding fan in his hand. He looked very elegant, like a scholar with profound knowledge.

But his performance on the school field today was very exciting and skillful. He was clearly a strong general. Even King Zhongshan praised him highly.

Now that he looks elegant, it is impossible to tell that he was still a fierce general. The two are too inconsistent.

"Sir, he is an expert from outside the world. He studied under an immortal master. He has both civil and military skills. He is able to bring peace to the country with his literary skills and his military ability to rule the country. His Majesty is extremely satisfied with him. Haha, when he becomes a high official in the future, don't forget to support him.

ah……"

Zhu Xiuyuan was joking, but when he mentioned the words "a world-famous person", he emphasized the pronunciation and winked.

He didn't really believe the story Han Qingshan made up.

This kind of nonsense can only deceive the ancient aborigines.

"Ah haha..." Han Qingshan laughed and did not defend himself. He only said: "Jiang Chengbo is like watching fire. He really lives up to his reputation as a young genius. The common people admire him very much!"

Zhu Xiuyuan and Han Qingshan were exchanging business blows here, but they didn't know that behind them, there was a person who seemed to be passing by. He listened to and looked at everything they said and did...

On the other side, the King of Jinling walked out of the martial arts school. He was supported by two servants. He was limping and twisted. He seemed to have difficulty walking.

King Jinling did not believe in evil and went for a run last night. As a result, he exerted too much force. As a result, his whole body was sore today and he has not recovered for a long time. He even needed help from his servants when he walked.

It can be described as tragic.

Behind the King of Jinling were his younger brother, the King of Kuaiji, and Chen Dongyi, the counselor in the palace.

As soon as they walked out of the martial arts school, King Jinling in front of them suddenly stopped.

Because he saw Princess Anle.

He was behind and could only see the back of Princess Anle. She and Dong Shuzhen were together. The two women didn't know what they were talking about, and they laughed like silver bells from time to time...

Looking at Princess Anle's youthful and beautiful back, the King of Jinling was stunned and stunned.

Behind him, King Kuaiji and Chen Dongyi looked at each other, shook their heads, and said nothing.

King Jinling was in a daze for a while, then took steps to walk towards Zhu Xiuyuan and the others.

He had made up his mind and was going to try again to get close to Princess Anle, hoping to win her favor...

Finally, King Jinling endured the pain all over his body and walked over with the support of two servants, approaching Princess Anle.

However, before he had time to speak, Princess Anle had already taken Dong Shuzhen with her and boarded the carriage without paying any attention to him.

The King of Jinling was speechless and stuck there, and his heart suddenly became very depressed.

Zhu Xiuyuan was chatting with Han Qingshan and had no time to pay attention to the King of Jinling.

But Li Jiye was free. He couldn't help but frown and glared at the King of Jinling, with a strong sense of driving him away!

In fact, the King of Jinling was very afraid of Li Jiye. Under Li Jiye's look, he did not dare to resist at all, so he had to walk in the other direction.

As soon as King Jinling left, King Kuaiji and Chen Dongyi also followed him.

At this moment, Zhu Xiuyuan ended his chat with Han Qingshan, and he boarded the carriage alone, preparing to set off back home.

In order to take the opportunity to ask questions, Li Jiye also got on the bus.

Therefore, no one present noticed that Han Qingshan and Chen Dongyi, the counselor in the Jinling Palace, looked at each other for a long time...

After the two saw each other, their eyes lit up and a flash of light flashed.

Soon, almost without anyone noticing, they lost sight of each other.

Chen Dongyi followed King Jinling in that direction.
To be continued...
