"Um?"
Pei Jing frowned slightly and stopped leaving. Others also stopped and watched subconsciously.
As if she didn't realize that she was the center of attention, the girl with willow eyebrows still picked up the short bow with an expressionless face, stood upright, and nocked the arrow.
"Duh——"
The sound of hitting the target sounded, and Bai Yu's arrow hit the bullseye of the short-range target accurately.
"Duh——"
The sound of hitting the target was continuous. The girl with willow eyebrows fired twelve arrows in an orderly manner. The arrows hit the bull's-eye. Her movements were as neat as a machine.
"oh?"
Pei Jing raised his eyebrows. With his eyes, he could see that the other party was using a light bow with a small number of stones.
Being able to shoot so steadily and accurately is entirely due to skill, experience and... calculation.
Snapped!
The girl with willow eyebrows put down her short bow, inserted the tail of the long bow into the soil, and took off the silk hairband on her head.
Use a hair tie to securely tie the middle end of the bow body to the wooden stake on the ground.
Then he set up the arrow, half-knelt on the ground, pulled the bowstring hard with both hands, narrowed his eyes, and stared at the silk hairband fluttering in the wind on the wooden stake and the archery target in the distance.
"Duh!"
The girl let go of her hands, the bowstring suddenly rebounded, and the white-feathered arrow shot out quickly, drawing an arc in the air and hitting the bullseye of the far target accurately.
'Due to its smaller power, a two-handed longbow is chosen to increase the range and reduce the impact of wind on the arrows...'
Li Ang was shocked and said: 'But this is a bit unscientific, right? Is it really possible to use the flying trajectory of a silk hairband to calculate wind speed and wind correction compensation angle? A humanoid computer...'
More and more people gathered around, but the girl with willow eyebrows still took her time and pulled up her long bow to fire arrows.
Thirty shots out of thirty, twenty-nine of them hit the bullseye.
The jaws of the students surrounding Pei Jing were about to drop in shock. Only a few recommended students from the Ministry of War were left in the audience to cheer loudly.
A student murmured: "Hiss, this result...can rank among the top three in the entire history of the academy..."
"In terms of accuracy alone, it ranks fourth in history."
The Goatee Academy teacher, who was holding a booklet to register his grades, exclaimed in surprise: "It's really amazing."
"Twenty-nine shots hit the bull's-eye and only the fourth one?"
Some students were surprised: "Are the top three all bull's-eyes..."
"certainly."
The goatee professor curled his lips and said: "The top three in the history of marksmanship in the first entrance test are Su Zi two hundred years ago, and the first Academy Secretary who explored the Shiwan Barren Mountains one hundred and fifty years ago. The head of the academy.
The three of them all had thirty arrows, and they were able to hit the bull's-eye, but Su Zi was even better - in order to convince the students who thought he was specially recruited into the academy without passing the exam, he specially fired a strong bow, and every arrow penetrated it. Bullseye. "
"this..."
All the students were stunned.
The girl with willow eyebrows, as if she was not satisfied, stood up silently, casually untied the ribbon wrapped around the wooden stake, glanced at Li Ang, and turned to leave.
They are all looking at what I am doing. Is there any flowers on my face?
Li Ang curled his lips, said hello to Song Shaoyuan and others, put the bow and arrow back on the shelf, and walked towards the arithmetic examination room.
————
"Can't see it again."
Looking at Li Ang's figure disappearing into the pavilion, Chai Cuiqiao smacked her lips, tilted her head and calculated silently.
Li Ang's scripture and CE examination results are definitely good. Judging from the speed of the bay-red horse, Yu Ke should also be among the best.
Even if the shooting department is only at a mid-level level, overall, he will definitely be able to pass the preliminary test.
Next, it depends on how many extra points you can get from optional subjects such as arithmetic, and how high you can be ranked on the list of candidates for the re-examination.
"It's good if you can get through it, it's good if you can get through it."
Chai Cuiqiao breathed a long sigh of relief, relaxed, and sniffed subconsciously.
The aroma of food...
She turned around and saw that at the end of the long corridor at the far end, dining carts containing wooden food boxes were pushing forward. The food range ranged from bilo, soup cakes, snacks, to meat and vegetarian dishes.
These dining trucks are provided by the Academy,
Many family members of candidates have already begun to pay to buy meals from the dining carts.
I happen to be a little hungry.
Chai Cuiqiao weighed the kit and purse and hesitated which food box to buy.
"that...."
Li Leling's voice sounded from behind,
Chai Cuiqiao turned around and saw Li Leling sitting behind two long tables with a smile. The tables were filled with a variety of snacks, pastries, fruits, and drinks. "Can you eat with me? I'm alone." I can’t eat it.”
"Well..."
Chai Cuiqiao blinked. Logically speaking, she shouldn't be freeloading, but this is the academy, the safest place in the entire Yu Kingdom, so it should be fine. Besides, wasting food is an intolerable sin.
"Well, it's better to be respectful than to obey."
Chai Cuiqiao thought for a few seconds, then happily sat down next to Li Leling, picked up a small piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and threw it into her mouth, then pointed to a small jar with agate-colored bright red jam next to her, "What is this? "
"this is..."
Li Leling thought for a while, "It seems to be the Konjac sauce from South Vietnam? It's used at home to mix soup cakes. Try it. It's a little spicy."
"Kon-chan? I think I've heard of it. Is it expensive?"
Chai Cuiqiao was not polite, scooped a spoonful of bright red jam and poured it into the bowl, "It tastes sweet and spicy, and it's quite delicious."
"It should be...not very expensive."
Li Leling tilted her head. She knew that konjac sauce was a rare tribute from the South Vietnam Kingdom to the royal family of King Yu. There were two thousand guan in a small bowl on the market, and it was often priceless.
But she was not sure whether two thousand gu was expensive - she had almost no use for the money.
"I'll ask my uncle to buy a few bottles another day."
Chai Cuiqiao nodded in praise of the taste of konjac sauce, then looked at another plate of green vegetables, "What is this?"
Li Leling recalled, "This is Lang Qiong Bo Ling, which comes from the Lang Qiong Zhao of the six imperial kingdoms in the southern border of Zhou Kingdom."
"Oh, it tastes okay."
Chai Cuiqiao nodded approvingly and asked doubtfully: "But why did the people of Langqiong take a vegetable as the name of their country? Do they like to eat this kind of vegetable very much?"
"Hey, don't take vegetables as the name of the country,"
Li Leling was amused by Chai Cuiqiao's strange question and explained with a smile: "It's because the balengcai comes from Langqiong, so it's called Langqiong baleng..."
Perhaps because she laughed too hard, Li Leling's face turned pale for no apparent reason, and she subconsciously stretched out her left hand to press on the table to support her body.
The maids and servants on the side were so frightened that they rushed forward one after another, but Li Leling hurriedly waved her away and said, "I, I'm fine."
She sat there and breathed quietly for a while, her face slowly turned rosy, and she leaned back on the chair.
"Are you OK?"
Chai Cuiqiao looked at Li Leling worriedly, "Are you going to call the instructor from the academy?"
"No, I'm just...born to be in poor health."
Li Leling forced a smile, but the sadness in her eyebrows still lingered.
"If you are not in good health, you should seek medical treatment if you are sick."
Chai Cuiqiao said seriously: "My uncle is the best doctor in Yu State and even in the world. He can cure any disease. Come to our security hall...
Hey, I almost forgot that the security hall is not open yet.
Anyway, I'll let him show it to you. "
"It's really not necessary. My disease...can't be cured."
Li Leling smiled slightly and looked at the lively and noisy pasture in the distance.
The helpless expressions of the doctors and the sighs of the parents again and again came to mind.
Congenital heart disease is difficult to cure with medicine and stone.
Li Leling didn't know whether she had begged her mother several times yesterday to allow her to leave the palace to watch the preliminary examination of the academy. She was really trying to observe the environment of the academy in advance.
Or just to see those peers who are full of energy and can run and jump freely on the grass.
Is it possible to die of a broken heart at any time...
