"The following is the content of this round of assessment——"

"Long stack, level shooting, rifle shooting, carbine, cocking the pass, and holding the weight."

Today is the martial arts test.

Qi Kuo was wearing standard armor, holding the handle of a long sword in his hand, standing on a high platform and looking down.

Half of the school grounds are set up as assessment venues, and the archery range, horse racing range, and high platform are equipped with large stone piers for load-bearing.

Their nearly 100 candidates only occupied one-tenth of the school grounds.

Qi Kuo said in a sonorous tone: "Our government also requires that candidates for the martial arts examination be "selected for their talent and appearance."

At this point, he paused and looked at Luo Xi, who was particularly conspicuous in the crowd.

The friend standing next to Luo Xi touched her with his elbow and whispered: "There are also appearance requirements! I haven't heard of it in the past, but you must have an advantage in being so good-looking."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped in the face, and Qi Kuo's sonorous voice echoed in the school grounds:

"Candidates who are tall, muscular, strong, and strong will be given priority to get good rankings."

He was not targeting Luo Xi. There was indeed a requirement in the assessment that those with a majestic torso could be generals.

Taking a look at Luo Xi's slender body, my brother's envious eyes turned to sympathy:

"No wonder Master urged me to exercise my body. It turns out there is such a requirement. Brother Luo! You don't have the advantage!"

Luo Xi discovered that the new 'muscular guy' she made friends with yesterday, despite his burly figure, was actually a talker.

As long as the examiner talks about rules at the top, he talks about small talk at the bottom.

Thick-tongued no no no no...

Just when she thought this, my friend was called by Qi Kuo: "If you... want to talk, go home and talk. This is the martial arts examination room."

My dear friend, his neck shrank, and the world finally became quiet.

Qi Kuo withdrew his sharp gaze and led everyone to the shooting range: "First round, long stack."

Luo Xi observed the layout of the field. The so-called long stack meant shooting far.

The target is a giant cloth target with five circles inside. The diameter of the bullseye does not exceed two meters by visual inspection, and the diameter of the fifth circle does not exceed nine meters.

Candidates need to stand at a distance of 200 meters to shoot at a giant cloth target, and arm strength and accuracy are indispensable.

It was a bit difficult, and many people in the venue showed masks of pain.

Because it is a children's test, the requirements are not high. For flat shooting and barrel shooting, you only need to hit three of ten arrows to hit the target to pass.

The order of playing will be determined by drawing lots.

Luo Xi was not very lucky this time and ranked relatively low.

Brother Luo came forward, his face turned blue, "Brother Luo, I'm nervous."

Luo Xi raised her eyebrows, "How about we switch?"

Then he comforted him: "Why are you nervous? Think about the two taels of silver that the imperial court pays every month if you pass the examination. If you don't squander it, you can live in peace for the rest of your life."

Two taels per month is enough for ordinary people to eat and drink without worries.

As expected, my friend was no longer nervous. Not only that, his muscles were tense and he was full of confidence. Finally it was his turn and he rushed onto the field with a roar:

"Two taels of silver...here I come!"

The silliness made the audience burst into laughter.

I saw my dear friend bending his bow and setting an arrow, his arm muscles bulged, and the arrow shot through the sky with a "swish" sound, and finally settled on the fifth circle.

Luo Xi's eyes were focused.

Mi Zhilin walked up to her at some point, his eyes full of disdain: "You just hang out with such useless wild people."

Luo Xi has a problem. She protects her shortcomings in an unreasonable way. This is the second time she met my dear friend, but in front of Mi Zhilin, my dear friend is her shortcomings.

The lips curved slightly, and the voice was obviously smiling, but it was like the cold wind blowing in the twelfth lunar month: "It's useless? Yeluzi?"

"Want to make a bet?"

"What are you betting on?" Mi Zhilin was not afraid of provocation.

Luo Xi looked at her friend who had already shot the second arrow, "I bet he will hit all ten arrows."

"What's the jackpot?"

"The loser will get five hundred taels of silver in addition to shouting 'I am a dog' every time he shoots an arrow after entering the arena! How about it? Do you dare to play?"

Five hundred taels is not a small amount for the current Mi family, not to mention that Mi Guanlin is just a branch of the main family.

But he didn't want to show his timidity in front of this unsightly boy, so he sneered and asked, "You're a country boy with five hundred taels, so just bet."

"Thanks to the good news of the kind-hearted and good-hearted Shimi family master, my grain shop now earns a fortune every day, not to mention five hundred taels... even ten of them!"

Luo Xi's words made Mi Zhilin almost lose his mind.

His mother has cheated the Mi family, but he still has the nerve to say it?

Grain prices have leveled off, but this group of untouchables in Yongning County are looking for Wuming Grain Store as if they have taken the wrong medicine.

The Mi family's grain store was losing money day by day, the head of the family was so worried that a lot of his hair fell out, and the most hateful mastermind still had the nerve to show off in front of him.

Damn I'm so angry!

From the four major aristocratic families working together to target her in the written examination, Luo Xi knew that her vest was off, and pretending to be stupid would be a failure, so she simply admitted it openly.

You can also get angry at a group of incompetent and furious fools.

After that, he provocatively said: "What? Is the Mi family so poor that they can't even afford five hundred taels? Write an IOU and I'll lend it to you!"

Mi Zhilin's entire attention was attracted by Luo Xi, and he didn't pay any attention to the man who hit all five arrows in the field. He gritted his teeth and said, "I promise, I will bet with you."

When he realized that the situation on the field was not good, it was too late.

Luo Xi called Qi Kuo, who was supervising the candidates: "Examiner! Please bear witness."

Qi Kuo's mouth twitched after listening, and he looked at this tall boy who only reached his shoulders in surprise:

"Since the founding of the Dayong Dynasty, you are the first person to bet on martial arts examinations and have the invigilator serve as a witness."

"Just say whether you want to play or not?"

Seeing the provocation in Luo Xi's eyes, Mi Zhilin clenched his fists: Hit her! Beat her! Let her be arrogant.

I was sweating in my heart. If this person really agreed to be a witness, how could he refuse to pay?

Of course, people are often afraid of whatever comes their way. Not only did Qi Kuo not hit this arrogant boy, he even asked with great interest: "What good can I do?"

Luo Xi tilted her head and thought for a moment: "You will get one-third of the lottery prize."

"Okay!" Qi Kuo accepted the order at the critical moment. He was not a serious invigilator at first, but was forced in by King Mo. Young masters from aristocratic families all have a common problem of being playful.

Qi Kuo was no exception. He found it interesting and agreed without thinking.

After hearing the happy decision of the two people, Mi Zhilin was about to cry. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said loudly:

"Invigilator, this is unfair. Your duty is to supervise every candidate and not break the rules. How can you be complicit!"

Responsibilities? Qi Kuo didn't even know what he was doing here, so he couldn't really serve as an invigilator for a bunch of bastards.

Stop it! My little cousin can't be so boring.

This guy actually talked to him about his responsibilities?

His face darkened and he turned his head: "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Qi Kuo went to the battlefield with his father and brother when he was young. He was a general who had really seen blood. When his face fell, his aura was very frightening.

Mi Guanlin stepped back uncontrollably and lowered his head: "Students don't dare."

What he just said was loud, and the other examiners around him heard it, and they only glanced at him symbolically, without any intention of coming to ask.

It seems that this person has a good background, and he really doesn't dare to do it.

With a gloomy face, he looked at the man who shot the last arrow in the field, praying and cursing him for missing the target.

"..."

My friend is out of breath. The long stack is extremely draining of energy, and the further back you go, the greater the drain.

His arm was numb and sore, and before the arrow was about to be released, he knew that the arrow was hanging...
