The Red Chamber: Starting from Saving Xue Baochai

Chapter 54 Shen Yuan made history
Everyone has his or her own limits, and it is impossible to raise them infinitely through training.

Jiang Fan's maximum distance for horseback archery is one hundred steps, which is almost the same as half a year ago.

Even so, it is one in a million.

"Phew, they are all perverts!"

"Come to think of it. Does Jiang Fan qualify for the next round?"

"Why doesn't it count? The rules only say to hit the target, not that you have to hit the center of the target."

“Even if we make it to the next round, we’ll probably miss the target.”

"So what? His archery skills of 100 steps on horseback are already on par with General Shenwu. With time, he may be able to surpass him. In the past 100 years of the Great Zhou Dynasty, how many people can do this?"

"That's right, they are all people we look up to!"

“We should applaud it!”

"."

Rongguo Mansion, Lixiangyuan.

Ying'er has brought back the news that Shen Yuan and the other two will have an extra match to Baochai and the others.

When the girls learned about it, they were all filled with emotion.

What kind of era is this?
There are many young heroes and stars shining brightly. Will Brother Shen be the most dazzling one among them?
In the hearts of Baochai and Xiangyun, the answer is beyond doubt. Like Jiang Qiuer, they have firm confidence in Shen Yuan.

Daiyu, Ying, Tan and Xi, the other girls, were also full of expectations for the young man in blue.

"The results should be out soon, right?" Daiyu murmured in a clear voice.

Baochai's beautiful almond-shaped eyes flickered, and she smiled with dimples as she replied, "Not so fast. After the horse riding and archery, there is still the palace examination."

"Sister Lin, there's no need to rush. No matter how long it takes, the final result will be the same. Brother Shen will be the martial arts champion anyway." Xiangyun's rosy apple face always had a bright smile on it, as if the result was already decided.

Daiyu: "."

When did she get anxious?

It's strange that Sister Yun, who is usually so impetuous, is so calm today.

Tanchun smiled and said, "The Emperor has never been here in person before. If Master Shen wins the first prize, he will surely rise to great heights in the future."

Martial arts garden and training ground.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the fourth round of horse archery began, 110 steps.

This shooting distance has reached the peak level of General Feng Tang, an achievement worthy of being recorded in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

There were still three men and three horses, they led their horses out quickly, and after a run-up, they pushed their speed to the extreme. When they were one hundred and ten steps away from the target, they bent their bows and drew their arrows, and another three arrows flew into the air at the same time.

"clank!"

But I only heard that two arrows hit the target.

"call"

Although it was expected, there were still sighs and lamentations on the field.

Jiang Fan missed the target.

And Shen Yuan and Feng Ziying, both arrows hit the bull's eye!

"As expected, the 'Celebrity List of Champions' in Hanmozhai is not deceiving. Jiang Fan is not as good as Shen and Feng!"

"Only Shen Yuan and Feng Ziying are left. The result will be revealed soon!"

"."

On the training ground, Shen Yuan and Feng Ziying rode their horses to Jiang Fan's side, and the three of them smiled happily.

"I feel deeply honored to compete with Brother Shen and Brother Feng, but I am still not as good as you." Jiang Fan spoke first.

Feng Ziying extended his hand forward, shook hands with Jiang Fan, and said calmly: "It is my great honor to meet you two brothers today. No matter what the result is, we should treat each other as close friends. I will definitely get drunk with Brother Shen and Brother Jiang someday!"

"It's easy to get a fortune, but it's hard to find a true friend." Shen Yuan said, and stepped forward to shake hands with Jiang Fan again, saying with a smile: "After today, there will be one more person to give Brother Jiang a drink."

"How lucky! How happy!" Jiang Fan laughed and said, "I'll leave the stage to you. I'm leaving first."

After saying that, he rode towards the sidelines.

On the observation deck, Emperor Yuanzhen saw this scene and couldn't help but smile and said, "Mr. Feng, Ziying has gained two like-minded friends today."

"I hope they can join hands in the future and make contributions to Your Majesty on the battlefield." Feng Tang stroked his beard and smiled.

On the training ground, the assessment continues.

Shen Yuan and Feng Ziying started the fifth round of horseback archery, 120 steps. At this time, everyone inside and outside the arena was concentrating and holding their breath, waiting to witness the upcoming result.

After the first four rounds of frantic running, the horses were tired. In order to maintain their performance, the two men replaced them with new horses.

After a brief adaptation, the two riders quickly galloped out, even faster than before. The huge parade ground now belonged only to these two iron-blooded young men.

The familiar sharp arrow broke through the air and the familiar sound hit the target.

At the end of the fifth round, two arrows hit the target, and they created a new history in the Great Zhou Dynasty in the past hundred years.

Shen Yuan's arrow hit the center of the target, while Feng Ziying shot the right corner.

Obviously, just like Jiang Fan before, the difference is obvious.

Before everyone could sigh in admiration, they saw the two men riding their horses in a circle and shooting another arrow.

The sixth round of horse archery, 130 steps, began directly.

"Whizzing!"

The sharp arrow flew out, attracting everyone's attention.

The results of the spring military examination in horseback archery will be revealed by these two feather arrows.

"Zheng!"

As expected, only one arrow hit the target.

After a few moments of silence, deafening cheers broke out on the training ground.

"It was Shen Yuan's arrow! He won!"

“Too strong!”

"Extraordinarily gifted! A genius for all time!"

"."

At this moment, no one was stingy with their praise, and no words could describe their current mood.

When others are just a little stronger than you, you will be dissatisfied and jealous, but when others are stronger than you can imagine, all you will have left is admiration and respect.

Not only warriors admire the strong, but ordinary people do too.

When the news reached the outside of the Martial Arts Garden, tens of thousands of people in the capital were instantly excited, and many of them were shouting the name of the young man in blue.

Shen Yuan created history, and they also witnessed history.

"Is this... a full twenty steps beyond General Feng Tang?"

"Nonsense, do you even need to ask?"

"I told you, it must be Shen Yuan, it must be him, hahaha." Someone threw his head back and laughed, almost crazy.

"Brother, your expression is too exaggerated. How much money did you bet in the casino? You must have made a fortune this time, right? Look how happy you are."

"Bullshit! Am I that kind of shallow person? How could I be happy about some vulgar things? I was happy for Master Shen and made a little money by the way."

"."

In the crowd, Jiang Qiuer was so excited that she could not express it in words, with tears in her beautiful eyes.

"Girl, what's wrong with you? Shouldn't you be happy? Why are you crying?" Hongyao asked puzzled.

"I'm not crying. I'm just happy. I'm happy for Brother Shen!"

As everyone was excited and cheering, someone suddenly raised a question.

"What is the limit of Mr. Shen's archery ability?"

"Oh, right? The 130 steps just now, he hit the bull's eye, right? It seems like he is still doing it with ease!"

Only then did everyone come back to their senses.

More and more people are becoming curious, and everyone is eager to find out the answer.

Shen Yuan had just made history, so why couldn't he rewrite the record? Obviously, the young man in blue had the ability to do so.

Afterwards, the call grew louder and louder, spreading from outside the martial arts garden to inside the garden, to the training ground, and to the ears of Emperor Yuanzhen and a group of civil and military officials on the observation deck.

In the end, it turned into a unanimous shouting from tens of thousands of people and thousands of candidates.

"Please continue the assessment, Shen Jieyuan!"
