Wang Ziyao shook his head: "You two are really brave. Talking about the king behind his back will cost you your heads."
It has always been a serious crime to discuss the master's ideas behind his back.
Zhao Lin said, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. With Prince Yu back, things are getting a bit turbulent outside. We should stay out of the house and focus on our studies. Brother Prince, why don't you take the military exam and become the top scorer? Then, you can start as an officer in the army and avoid wasting time as a private."
Wang Ziyao was a little tempted and said, "It's not that I haven't thought about it, but I know my own business. I'm better than those warriors in terms of deploying troops and formations, but if it comes to a one-on-one fight, I may not be able to beat those civilian warriors."
"That's true." Zhao Lin said.
Wang Ziyao suddenly said, "But Zhao Lin, if you take the martial arts exam, you might be able to get first place. Besides, the martial arts exam isn't as tedious as the imperial examination, so it won't take up much of your time."
The military examination is very simple, just like the imperial examination. The county examination is held once a year, the provincial examination is held every two years, and the metropolitan examination is held every three years.
There were military examinations at the same time as the imperial examinations, so the military examinations and the imperial examinations were held at the same time and in the same month, but in different orders.
And the martial arts exam can be challenged.
This is prepared for those martial artists who have good kung fu but missed the martial arts exam. After the martial arts exam is over and the rankings are released, they will be given a certain amount of time to accept the challenge, so that some martial artists will not have to wait for the next martial arts exam and waste time.
The winner can seize the ranking of the challenged. The challenge at this time is more exciting than the martial arts examination and is second only to the palace examination.
So Wang Ziyao meant that it didn’t matter even if Zhao Lin missed the previous martial arts exam, because he could still challenge himself in the martial arts exam after the joint examination and become a formal martial artist.
Sudi said: "Yes, Brother Zhao's strength is extraordinary, it is really possible to get it."
Zhao Lin waved his hand: "I might be able to fight alone, but I'm far behind in horseback riding and archery. I can't compare to him."
It's not that Zhao Lin is conceited. He has been practicing Bajiquan for more than ten years and has already developed muscle memory. His body has slowly recovered in recent days and is no worse than those people.
He was just not good at riding and archery.
It's not that I haven't practiced before, but I only treated it as entertainment. In the environment of my previous life, I went hunting with a hunting rifle or even a sniper rifle, and I drove a car to travel. How could I practice horse riding and archery?
"You can give it a try," Sudi urged. "It won't delay anything. If you succeed, you'll be the first person in this dynasty to hold the top spot in both civil and military examinations."
"Yes, yes, if I can win two top prizes at the same time, I will be proud of it." Wang Ziyao said excitedly.
Zhao Lin was a little tempted and said, "It's not bad to give it a try. But where can I find a good archery master?"
Just as Sudi was about to speak, Wang Ziyao patted his chest and said, "Why bother looking for it? I'll teach you."
"you?"
Zhao Lin and Su Di both looked at Wang Ziyao suspiciously.
Wang Ziyao said dissatisfiedly, "Don't look at me like that. Although I'm not good at studying and my family is poor, I have no problem with riding and shooting. If you were forced to practice since childhood and almost not allowed to eat, you would be as good as me."
"Well, I'll trouble you, Brother Wang."
Zhao Lin was very happy.
Wang Ziyao came from a family of generals, so he was naturally very skilled in archery, horse riding, swordsmanship, and was the best teacher.
Wang Ziyao was also very happy. Zhao Lin and Su Di were hiding in the study all day reading, and only practiced martial arts for a while at night. They had no time to play with him. He said, "Wait for me, I'll go home."
Wang Ziyao seemed to be afraid that Zhao Lin would go back on his word, so he ran away and soon disappeared.
Zhao Lin shook his head and said, "This Brother Wang is like a child. By the way, Brother Su, your Kung Fu is not bad either. Do you want to sign up for the Kung Fu exam as well?"
Sudi hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, my family doesn't like me to fight and kill."
Zhao Lin smiled and said, "That's right. Brother Su is so delicate. Fighting and killing will only affect his image."
"Really? Isn't fighting and killing good?" Sudi asked hurriedly.
Zhao Lin was stunned for a moment and said, "It's not bad, it just doesn't fit Brother Su's image."
Sudi said unhappily, "This is my parents' child, there's nothing I can do about it. But if we really go to the battlefield, I'm no weaker than you."
Zhao Lin smiled and said, “Yes, yes, Brother Su has a strong murderous aura. If he really joins the army, he will definitely be a rare general.”
"Hmph, I want to be a marshal." Su Di said with his chin raised, his neck slender and long.
Zhao Lin glanced at Sudi's neck. Sudi quickly retracted his neck, coughed dryly, and said, "I'm going to study. When the time comes, you will be the top scholar in martial arts, and I will be the top scholar in literature. The two of us will join forces and kill everyone."
After saying that, he walked away quickly.
"hehe."
Zhao Lin chuckled.
I thought Sudi was so delicate that she must be a woman disguised as a man, but he has an Adam's apple, so he is indeed a man. It seems that he was born that way. No wonder he doesn't like to take off his clothes in crowded places, and doesn't like to take a bath with others. I guess he is afraid of being laughed at.
Sudi returned to the room and patted his chest: "I was scared to death. Fortunately, I was prepared. I almost got exposed."
Sudi carefully touched his Adam's apple and said proudly, "Even if you have seven holes in your mind, you can't guess that this is fake, right?"
Wang Ziyao came back soon in a carriage.
The carriage drove straight into the front yard, and Wang Ziyao shouted, "Zhao Lin, Su Di, come here quickly and see what good things I brought."
When Zhao Lin and Sudi came over, they saw that in addition to several longbows and shortbows, some arrows, and some swords, shields and other things on the carriage.
"What are you bringing these for?" Sudi asked, pointing at the swords and shields.
Wang Ziyao laughed and said, "You don't understand this, do you? Weapons are allowed during the martial arts exam. Although Zhao Lin's kung fu is very good, he will be at a disadvantage if he doesn't use weapons. Which of these weapons do you think you like?"
Zhao Lin shook his head and said, "I use a gun."
The Baji Lance is a true killing skill, no worse than the martial arts in this world.
"Gun? Guns are good, I have them."
Wang Ziyao rummaged around inside and took out a wooden stick and a one-foot-long iron spear head. He put the spear head on the wooden stick, and it became a spear more than two meters long.
"Next." Wang Ziyao threw the spear to Zhao Lin.
Zhao Lin shook his hand and said, "Killing is fine, but it's too light for practice."
"Is this still light?"
Wang Ziyao was surprised and said, "How heavy do you want it? I'll find someone to do it. Of course, you pay for it."
"I'll pay for it," Sudi said quickly, then explained, "I just want to see how heavy the gun is."
Zhao Lin smiled and said, "Let's use the three and a half meter one."
"Three and a half meters? Okay, I'll find someone to do it right away. Here's the money." Wang Ziyao stretched out his hand in front of Sudi.
Zhao Lin quickly said, "No need for Brother Su to give it to me, I'll do it."
Su Di directly took out a hundred taels of silver note and stuffed it into Wang Ziyao's hand, saying: "Hurry up and do it today."
"Just wait."
Wang Ziyao hurriedly got on the carriage and left.
Zhao Lin said to Sudi helplessly: "I'm sorry for the expense."
Sudi waved his hand and said, "Why are you being so polite to me? If you really feel bad, show me how to wield your gun tonight."
