I raised a husband in ancient times

Chapter 62

No matter what the city guard thinks, the two people competing have no way of knowing.

Although Lu Yiming and Hao Yongshi were in the same group, they were not in the same venue. They were just taking exams at the same time.

His disdain for Lu Yiming reached its peak when Ma She, the Tian brother, luckily scored three out of nine, with a hint of sarcasm in his words, as if saying "no more than that".

Hao Yongshi raised the deed in his hand, as if he was already in sight of victory: "Don't lie about it if you lose then."

Lu Yiming raised his eyebrows and gave him a proud smile without comment. As far as he knew, the money of these young men from aristocratic families was probably It's not that much, but don't pay back the money sideways.

"Fortunately, I hit an arrow in the last round. I was even afraid that I would fail the first round."

Tian Aiwu hit two arrows in the first round. He originally thought he was safe, but in the second round, he missed one arrow. People watching They all sweated for him.

As for Tian Aiwen, his performance was stable, with one arrow per circle, slightly worse than the usual five out of nine, but compared to those who studied privately, it was much better. Most people today were unable to perform at their best, and among those who did not reach the standard, The majority are privately educated.

The morning fog did not dissipate as time went by. On the contrary, it became heavier and heavier, and the visibility was lower than before. The candidates at the back were sighing, but there was nothing they could do.

"Tsk, this weather is really getting in the way."

Li Yuanzhen is currently the best among them, with six out of nine, but it is far behind his usual results.

Before he even touched Lu Yiming's shoulder when he came down from the racecourse, the soldiers began to announce the candidates for the next group.

"Two hundred and eleven, two hundred and eleven..."

Lu Yiming punched him, but the latter did not say much: "Just follow the usual rules."

In the face of emergencies, the opponent's strength is generally reduced, and his mentality at this time is extremely important.

After entering the venue, the soldier handed him the prepared standard bow, quiver and horse, checked and verified the candidate's information again, and the assessment officially began.

As soon as he got on the horse, Lu Yiming noticed someone watching him from behind. He looked back and saw Hao Yongshi who was also on the horse.

The other person grinned at him and made a gesture. Although he had never seen it before, he probably didn't mean to cheer up.

Out of the traditional virtue of reciprocity, Lu Yiming thought about it and felt that he could not lose his courtesy. He stretched out his hand to salute the other party. For fear that the other party would not see it, he did it with both hands.

Now, as long as he is not blind, the other party should be able to receive his polite greetings, right?

"Woohoo——"

A horn sounded, and the horse shooting assessment began.

Lu Yiming entered the state, reined in his horse with one hand, and drew an arrow behind him with his right hand. Not far from the target, he stabilized his body and almost did not pause or aim.

Draw the bow and shoot the arrow in one go.

The onlookers gasped for a while. It is not that they have never seen someone hit the target in the first round, but such a clean and neat one is indeed rare.

If this was normal, they wouldn't be so surprised. In this crazy weather, they squinted carefully to see the farthest target clearly. However, when Lu Yiming passed the first target, he had already shot two arrows and shot the last one. The arrow is on the bow.

"It's amazing!"

Another arrow hit the target, and the person who was holding his breath couldn't help but exclaimed.

Hao Yongshi, who had finished shooting three arrows at the other end, heard the cheers here and turned his gaze to look over. He happened to see the scene of hitting the bullseye and his pupils shrank.

Even if it was him, all three arrows hit, but the last arrow was still a little off-center!

What's going on with this guy? !

He regained his composure, and now he must not let his opponent's temporary lead affect his mentality. There were still two laps to go, and the outcome was still uncertain. He had to put away his original contempt and adjust his mentality to deal with it with all his strength.

Thinking about those fifteen hundred taels, if his father knew about it... the picture was too beautiful, he didn't dare to think about it.

"Another hit!"

No matter how focused Hao Yongshi was, the voices of those watching next door would still penetrate into his ears. When he was distracted, the last arrow of the second round actually passed by the edge of the target.

It's over, he lost an arrow!

There was no room for him to pause. There was time for the three-round horseback shooting, and it was not a slow and steady shot. He had taken a short break after the first round, and now there was not much time left.

He was in a state of panic and was no longer as cheerful as before. If he lost, if he lost... He

didn't know what he thought of. He shook his body and his eyes became firm. He would definitely win!

Hao Yongshi gritted his teeth, kicked the horse in the belly and started shooting in the last circle.

As expected of being a top student in the official school, Lu Yiming turned around and saw the determined face of the other party, which actually changed his view of those people in the official school.

This time he didn't use Xiaomiao's recovery power and relied entirely on his own ability. It's not that he felt that he couldn't win, but it was just that he hadn't had this oppressive feeling of being chased for a long time, and he was a little bit looking forward to it.

"Brother Lu! Brother Lu! Brother Lu!"

"Brother Hao! Brother Hao! Brother Hao!"

Even though Lu Yiming was temporarily ahead, there were many people watching, but not many people knew him, and those who bet on Hao Yongshi to win were actually What's more, just by listening to the encouragement, you can tell that the voice calling "Brother Lu" from the team has been suppressed by the other side. Only by listening carefully can you distinguish it.

At the end of the second lap, he breathed a sigh of relief. The feeling of being highly concentrated physically and mentally was not good. He also understood the reason why he would fail after a long burst of energy, so he did not let himself rest for too long, calmed down, and went directly to the last lap.

"Hiss—"

Feng Tingji took a breath. Lu Yiming's first arrow missed, but Hao Yongshi on the other side hit it again. He was a little anxious.

But at this time, there were still people making sarcastic remarks: "If you can't do it, you can't do it. No matter how much you jump around, you still have to lose this test that you should lose." "As

expected, those who come from the countryside have never seen the world. This mentality is not good. Brother Hao chased after him. When it came up, it was impossible to balance and made a mistake."

Another person took advantage of the opportunity and said: "It was just that this kid was lucky before, but Brother Hao has adjusted now, and these five hundred taels must be in his pocket."

The voices around him came from his ears. The words passed by but did not enter Lu Yiming's ears. He was focused on his own affairs and would not be easily affected by the outside world.

The blood in his body was boiling. Lu Yiming felt the wind of freedom blowing on his cheeks and enjoyed the speed of the horse.

The arrow just missed was not because of his mentality, but there seemed to be something wrong with the arrow that left the string. When he took it out of the quiver, he felt that the arrow was a little bent. After shooting, there was no wind. It tilted downward.

He was more careful when shooting the remaining two arrows. If there was any damage, he would have to move higher.

However, it was different from what he imagined. He originally suspected that someone had done something secretly, but there was no problem with the remaining two.

Lu Yiming frowned and thought, was it his misunderstanding?

Before he could figure out the reason, a deafening voice penetrated the racecourse and reached his ears: "Brother Lu won!!" Before

Lu Yiming could see Hao Yongshi's final result, Feng Tingji's loud voice came, and he was excited to see the other party. He looked completely relaxed.

"The same score was eight out of nine, and Lu Yiming was even better."

"Hao Yongshi turned the tide in the last lap and hit all three times. However, compared to Lu Yiming's eight shots that hit the target, two of his shots were a little off, so Lu Yiming's final score was higher."

"It is true that a hero emerges from his youth. Hao Yongshi was able to overcome his state of mind at the last moment. Based on this alone, he is not necessarily worse than Lu Yiming. I am actually looking forward to how the rifle shooting will go in the afternoon."

The Governor commented while stroking his colorful beard. Said, these words also confirmed the winner of this bet.

Ying Li saw that he was not slow in collecting money, and he secretly muttered: Oh, you really are an old fox. If you don't keep his disciple in custody this afternoon, he will not trust anyone. Just talking about his controlling ability, it would be a pity for this person not to be the owner of the bank.

The people around him who originally bet Hao Yongshi but lost money suddenly became enlightened after hearing what the Governor said.

Yes, this is probably just because Lu Yiming was lucky and Hao Yongshi was in poor condition in the second lap. Didn't he adjust back immediately? If anyone makes no mistakes, they don't believe that kid can win!

That's it, we'll continue to escort Hao Yongshi in the afternoon, believe him! Trust the Governor!

...

Everyone has a tendency to take chances, and even the ancients could not escape it.

How much Ma She and the others trusted Hao Yongshi in the morning, how much they hated Ji Yong on the sixth day of the lunar month.

After the foot shooting and weightlifting games were tied for two consecutive games, more and more people placed bets, and the phenomenon of one-sidedness became less and less. However, the people who bet on Hao Yongshi were all jealous. This performance was Hao Yongshi's specialty. , they staked all their wealth on it!

The son of a city guard, he has practiced martial arts since he was a child and has been in the army for ten years. He is known as a general and is one of the most promising martial arts students in Jiangzhou Prefecture. If he loses again, it will be very inappropriate!

In previous years, the skill and bravery were considered as additional points in the martial arts examination. If you win, you will be ranked higher among the candidates in the same section. It allows the martial arts students to freely choose the challenge objects. Of course, the chosen ones also have the right to respond.

This exam is of little significance, but when selecting bodyguard officers, priority will be given to those with outstanding skills and courage. Generally speaking, it is specially set up for royal guards.

However, in history, many emperors canceled this competition when establishing martial arts subjects, and directly appointed the top few in front of the palace as bodyguards. However, in recent years, they have paid more attention to them.

"Yi Ming is quite good. I wonder where did the governor find this person from?"

The governor took a sip of tea and paid attention to the arena not far away with Mr. Ying, pretending to say it casually.

"I picked him up halfway. He cried and begged me to accept him as my disciple. I made some calculations and felt that we were destined to be masters and disciples, so I reluctantly accepted his request. I didn't teach him for a few days. I can only say that his talent is good."

Ying Li never needs to draft something like bragging. As for whether the other party believes it or not, that's the other party's business.

The governor smiled and shook his head. Ying Li's words were 30% true and 70% false. His talent was good and probably true. Crying and begging would most likely only exist in the opponent's fantasy. Although he didn't have much contact with Lu Yiming, his character was reflected in He still has the ability to discern subtleties.

Originally, the governor coveted Lu Yiming's talents and wanted to take him under his command, but he gave up the idea when he heard how protective the old fox Ying Li was.

"Hao Ping is probably going to be furious tonight. This fifteen hundred taels is a lot. If you can come up with so much at once, will the governor go to Hao Mansion?"

Hao Ping is not as rich as Lu Yiming. He claimed to be a customs clearance official with a salary from the imperial court. Apart from the dowry brought by his wife, he had no other source of wealth.

One thousand five hundred taels is the expenses of the entire family for three to five years. As a third-grade official, plus the Yanglianyin, he does have so much salary in a year, but the expenses of the family are also high, so naturally there is less money saved.

To make a bet for his son and spend a year's salary, no matter how he looked at it, he had to beat him up first.

Ying Li calmly put down his teacup: "That's also a matter of patrolling the censor, it has nothing to do with me."

The governor smiled and said no more. This old fox with no leaks, who doesn't know that the person who patrols the censor this time is your second apprentice. Gu Huan? Although his official rank can only allow him to become the censor on behalf of the inspector, this right is a real inspector.

Different from the back-and-forth atmosphere in the audience, it can be called one-sided in the ring.

He didn't even have a quarter of the time to pour incense. Hao Yongshi went from being suppressed and beaten by Lu Yiming to finally throwing away his armor, which made the people around him sigh.

There were even more angry people who pointed the sharp sword in their mouths directly at Hao Yongshi, who was already in danger.

"What a bullshit son of a city guard, why should I pay back the 100 taels

of silver I lost in a bet!" "On weekdays, he seems to have the aura of overlord that sweeps through thousands of armies, but in the end, he is just showing off his fists and embroidered legs. I don't see where the aura of overlord is. , Just a bastard."

"Hahaha, that's what you said, look at this, it's really a lost dog, bah!"

Hao Yongshi punched the ground and raised his scarlet eyes to look at this group of people. He is a dog-like official school kid. Usually, this group of people are always attentive behind him, but now it is just a gambling game, and his true colors are exposed.

Everyone was frightened by his ferocious look, and almost choked on the words in his throat. When they regained their senses, they cursed in a low voice: "What's the air? I think your name as a general is only superficial. Why do you call it 'good warrior'? Change your name." You can call them 'good wimps.'"

There are many sons of officials at the same level as the city guards in the official academy. Hao Yongshi and Fatty Song usually take the lead. They make noises. Anyway, if they want to be burned, they will burn the tall ones. What does it have to do with them? ?

Now, defecting is just a thought, and it can be done without any guilt.

Official and academic leader? If two are gone, it's enough to elect two more.

Lu Yiming was indifferent to this. He was originally a little moved by this man's tenacity, but when he thought of who was the person who tampered with the arrow, he no longer had any unnecessary emotions in his eyes when he looked back at Hao Yongshi.

There must be something hateful about poor people.

...

"Husband, you are very tired today."

Pei Xing knew Lu Yiming was in a bad mood at the first sight.

Lu Yiming held the man in his arms and said nothing for a while. Pei Xing put his hand on his back and waited patiently for him to speak.

After a long time, he imitated Little Xingxing and rubbed the other person's neck affectionately, and then he opened his mouth to tell him what happened today.

"I originally thought I could look away, but unexpectedly I still remembered what happened in my last life."

The scene of so many people betraying Hao Yongshi is so familiar today, wasn't it the same for him back then?

The only defeat in the face of internal and external troubles caused the entire base under his protection to be shaken instantly. Even the close friends and confidants who had been following him chose not to tide over the difficulties together but to replace him.

All good things are not worth one failure.

He is a human being, made of flesh and blood, not a god, and he also has a heart and pain.

The husband did not explain these things to him in detail, but he could feel his current mood.

Seeing the man's expression of pain for the first time, he felt a little at a loss. He could only hold the man tightly, kiss the corner of the man's eyes softly, and say over and over again: "Husband, I am here." He looked at

the gentle expression of the man in his arms. Eyebrows, Lu Yiming gently caressed the other person's bright eyes.

It's time for him to let go of what happened in his last life, and cherishing the present is what he should do.

Lu Yiming carried Pei Xing to the bedroom and turned his words into actions: "It's a little deserted at home, it's time to be lively."

The author has something to say: Mr. Ying: Yes, he asked me for it, not me. I

heard it Brother Lu who said this: Bring out my heritage sword

(there will be another update in the early morning, but the time is uncertain. I will post it after the code is finished. Friends, go to bed early ~ don't be like me, a big oilhead, woo woo woo)

Note: Yanglianyin was a salary increase system in the Qing Dynasty, with lots and lots of money! ! ! It is 10-100 times the annual salary, depending on the local economic situation and tax income.
