Volume 1 Chapter 17

Li Xixian was indeed not the commander of Yongning Guard based on his own ability, and he himself knew very well.

He was originally just an ordinary military household in the Anluwei, the Anweiwei Army of the Huguang Xingdu Si. Before his sister got married, he didn't have any position.

Later, his sister married into the Xingwang Mansion and became the wife of Lu Song, the chief banner officer of the royal palace guards. He relied on his nepotism to get a position as a small banner.

Originally, he thought that it would be good to be the position of Chief Banner Officer like his brother-in-law in this life. Unexpectedly, his sister was chosen as the wet nurse of Prince Xingxian, and Prince Xingxian inexplicably inherited the Grand Priest and became the emperor of the current dynasty.

This is amazing. Now the emperor loves the house and is extremely kind to his family. His uncle has inexplicably become the emperor's confidant and starts to shake.

From the moment the emperor succeeded to the throne, his position rose like a rocket, from a small flag to a chief flag officer, to a hundred households, a thousand households, to commanders, commanders, and from an ordinary guard who had no grade to a commander of the third rank, it took him less than ten years in total!

Of course he knew that his commander was not obtained by his ability, and the emperor asked him to control the Yongning Guard, one of the three major guards in the world.

He also knew that he was old and could not be the commander for long, and he had thought about finding a successor.

Although Yu Dayou is a little older, he is indeed a rare talent. Nowadays, how many ordinary Tunwei can pass the Wu Juren. The Wu Juren is basically the sons of Dukes and Martial Arts. Yu Dayou can actually win the first place in the Nanzhili Wu Juren, which shows his great ability.

What is even more rare is that he is also a scholar in literature and martial arts. The word "both civil and military" is appropriate to him.

If you train such a talent, you will seem to be the best successor.

However, it would be a bit unreliable to settle the marriage just by Yang Cong's words. He hesitated and said: "This, nephew, you are sure that Zhifu Zhen can pass the martial arts Jinshi, or even the martial arts top scholar."

His views are different from those gentry. He doesn't care much whether Yu Dayou can pass the imperial examination or not, because in the tun and ward system, the fame and fame of the civil service are of no use, and only the fame of the military service is useful.

What do you say is a Wen Juren, so if you want to be promoted to commander Tongzhi or even commander, that is a joke, and it will make people laugh. If you are a Wu Jinshi, you will be promoted to commander, and others will have nothing to say.

Therefore, he was more concerned about whether Yu Dayou could pass the Wu Jinshi.

Seeing that Li Xixian had already shown an intent expression, Yang Cong immediately struck the railway while it was hot: "Uncle Shi, it's no point to say anything. If you don't let Brother Zhifu show you something, you can take a look and feel at ease."

Showing his skills, this idea seems to be good. Li Xixian couldn't help but nod and said, "Okay, let's go to the schoolyard now. I really want to see if Zhifu's ability is really as powerful as you said."

So, Yu Dayou was pulled by Yang Cong like a young wife, followed Li Xixian with a flushed face and walked towards the Yongningwei campus.

This Yongning Guard is a garrison with all the best in the world, and the schoolyard is naturally the best among the garrisons. The group followed Li Xixian and saw it. What a guy, this schoolyard is really big, and there is no problem with running horses.

There are also hundreds of people practicing on the school field now, and the one responsible for supervising the Yongning Guard Commander Yin Feng.

Yin Feng can be said to be the most capable and mature and steady among Yongning Guards. He was originally just a small household. Li Xixian discovered his ability and promoted him, so he can be regarded as Li Xixian's confidant.

After Li Xixian brought his group to the school ground, he immediately ordered to Yin Feng loudly: "Yin Feng, clear the ground, set up a target, bring a war horse over, my nephew, want to practice riding and shooting."

He has heard of some knowledge of the martial arts exam. The most important thing is riding and shooting and actual combat. As for military tactics, he believes that he doesn't have to take the school exam. People can pass the literary scholar. How bad can the military tactics be?

Besides, his own military strategy is just a piece of mud, so how could he take the exam? So he wanted to see Yu Dayou's martial arts.

Yin Feng was also very grateful for the promotion of this commander. He never asked why Li Xixian ordered him. No matter what Li Xixian asked him to do, he acted immediately and never dragged on the slumber.

As soon as Li Xixian spoke, he immediately shouted and asked the guards who were practicing on the school field to line up to the edge of the school field. He ordered people to raise targets and bring war horses. At the same time, he ordered people to bring a few longbows and a bucket of arrows. In less than a quarter of an hour, everything was ready.

At this time, Yu Dayou became extremely calm. He didn't need Li Xixian and Yang Cong to greet him, so he went forward and chose a long bow with one stone. Then he skillfully put on the quiver, stepped on the war horse, and headed straight for the middle of the schoolyard.

The schoolyard is at least three or four hundred steps wide, but the arrow is standing at the southern end of the schoolyard. He ran to the middle of the schoolyard, which was a little far away from the target, and at least hundreds of steps!

Is he going to perform a hundred-step swinging and wearing a bellweather?

Everyone on the school ground held their breath and stared at Yu Dayou who was galloping on horseback.

His speed is too fast. Not to mention shooting arrows, it would be nice to be able to see the targets in the distance.

Seeing this, Li Xixian couldn't help but frowned slightly. This kid is very skilled in riding, but what he is taking the school exam now is not riding, but archery.

At this moment, Yu Dayou suddenly released the reins, quickly picked up the longbow, and then pulled out a feather arrow from behind like lightning, pulled the bow, hit the arrow, aimed at it. The movement was so fast that everyone had not seen it clearly, with a "swoosh", the feather arrow headed straight to the target.

"Lu", with a muffled sound, the feather arrow landed accurately on the target.

Seeing this, Yang Cong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was not off the target. It was already very good to be able to hit the target at such a long distance. As for where the specific shooting was, the distance was too far, he couldn't see clearly.

"Wow", as soon as he breathed out, a burst of exclamation suddenly came from the south of the schoolyard. All the Tunwei lined up near the target seemed to be frightened by Yu Dayou's arrow.

Seeing this, Li Xixian couldn't help but say curiously: "What's going on?"

He was a little dizzy and couldn't see the arrows on the target.

However, Yin Feng next to him was in his prime and his kung fu was pretty good. He seemed to be able to see the general situation on the target.

Yin Feng smacked his lips and said in disbelief: "The arrow seems to hit the bull's eye."

"Ah!" It's unlikely that the horse can hit the bull's eye at such a long distance!

Li Xixian was opening his mouth to exclaim, "Swoosh", "Swoosh" Yu Dayou shot two arrows like lightning.

"Lulu", two dull sounds, and the feather arrow landed accurately on the target.

Seeing this, Li Xixian asked nervously: "How about these two arrows?"

Yin Feng said a little astonished: "The three arrows seem to be squeezed together, they all hit the bull's eye."

"Hiss." Li Xixian couldn't help but take a breath of cold air when he heard this. One arrow shot can be said to be luck. If all three arrows hit the bull's eye, that wouldn't be luck.
