On this day, Tang Yuan was in good spirits, and the elder had already come to Instructor Bai Ke.

Bai Ke was still a little puzzled, the young man who has been quite decadent these days, why did he drink chicken blood today, so excited?

The two of them rode to the open space north of the beacon fire.

As soon as Tang Yuan changed his discouraged appearance, he rushed over with a swing of the big gun.

The two generals fought together, and after about thirty rounds, Bai Ke saw that the young man was so big and flawed, he picked up his gun and dropped Tang Yuan.

Tang Yuan's marksmanship has improved rapidly in the past few days, why such a big flaw suddenly appeared, the instructor Bai Ke was puzzled, and even wanted to scold him twice, but he never thought that Tang Yuan muttered something indignantly, jumped on the horse with his body in turn, and continued to fight, not even having time to scold him twice.

Today's Tang Yuan is very different from the past, and his marksmanship has become a little weird.

"Seven Absolute Guns" is still "Seven Absolute Guns", but many of them make Bai Ke feel a little unfamiliar. Could it be that this kid understood something last night, which is the reason why he is so excited today?

After dozens of rounds, Bai Ke swept his big gun and threw Tang Yuan off his horse again. This time, Tang Yuan's flaws were even greater, like a wild boar, deliberately sticking his feet into the beast's trap. How could Bai Ke, who had treacherous marksmanship, miss such an opportunity.

As soon as Tang Yuan landed, he cursed something, and got on the horse.

"Could it be that you are deliberately selling flaws and trying to lure me into being fooled?"

"Yes, Instructor White." Tang Yuan was discouraged and shook his wrist: "It's a pity that it didn't sell well, and it was caught by Instructor Bai." ”

Bai Ke sneered: "The marksmanship I taught you is already a mature marksmanship, although it may not be completely suitable for you, you can slowly modify it in the future." But if you make such a big change now, I'm afraid it's too big, and pulling out the seedlings will help you suffer from it, and down-to-earth cultivation is the right way. ”

Tang Yuan said: "Instructor Bai, don't be careless, maybe I can break your marksmanship today!" ”

Bai Ke laughed and said, "I just can't wait." Look at the guns! ”

——

Yesterday evening, after Tang Yuan and Tang Hu had a crazy quarrel for a while, they suddenly burst into laughter, laughing nonstop, making Chen Bao and Tang Hu laugh a little hairy.

The two brothers looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders for some reason.

The laughter stopped abruptly, and the sword-eyed boy jumped up, burst out of the tent, looked around, and found the wooden fences for the tents, and waved them in the open space in front of the tent. - The wooden fence is actually a stick, with a girl at one end, which is used to support the rope.

It was as if he was practicing a stick technique that he had learned from his grandfather as a child.

The more he fought, the faster he fought, and later, he looked quite crazy.

"Oops, what's wrong with Xiaofeng?" Tang Hu chased after him, looked at Tang Yuan, who was frantically wielding a short stick, and frowned: "I heard that he was trained quite badly by Instructor Bai. Isn't it mentally stimulating? ”

Chen Bao was silent, staring at Tang Yuan waving his stick.

The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway.

A casual move, in the eyes of a layman, is really not very good.

But in the eyes of the insider, you can see the difference.

Maybe it's just a small detail like a shake of the hand and a pressure lever, which is enough to show the subtlety of this trick.

Although Chen Bao was not familiar with marksmanship, these days of learning exquisite sword techniques from General Tang Qi had greatly improved his comprehension.

Chen Bao, who has a hot temper but no lack of quiet thinking, seems to see some doorways.

Suddenly smiled: "I have heard from my family that there are capable people in your Tang family." The art of marksmanship and the art of war are passed down from generation to generation by the eldest son and grandson. Later, I wondered, I didn't see your Tang family use guns, I saw Xiaofeng occasionally practicing sticks, and I thought it was a miscommunication from the old people in the family. After more than a month of study, I can see a little way. Where is this stick method, it is obviously marksmanship. ”

——

Tang Yuan and Bai Ke fought again, this time to more than sixty rounds, Bai Ke did not find a flaw. was also counterattacked by Tang Yuan several times, and each time it was in danger.

Bai Ke was overjoyed and said, "It seems that you really have an epiphany." It's just that why does your marksmanship look a little messy today? ”

"Instructor Bai Ke, this is not messy."

"Okay, I'll see how long you can last."

After another battle, the two fought to ninety rounds, the two horses breathed heavily, the people were very tired, and the guns of both sides became a little sluggish.

The ground on which the horse's hooves had trampled already had a thick layer of ash.

Tang Yuan sold the flaw again.

Bai Ke knew that this was a flaw he deliberately exposed, but he still stabbed it out. Bai Kexin said: I taught you marksmanship, in this case, you still want to dodge my shot?

With a "bang", the two fell off the horse at the same time.

"Boy, are you playing with me?" Bai Ke was shot in the cheek, and immediately felt a hot pain on his face, spit out a mouthful of bloodshot saliva, and said hatefully.

"Instructor Bai..."Tang Yuan covered his heart, unable to straighten his waist in pain, and said, "Haven't you seen that this marksmanship was not taught by you..."

"Didn't you say you hadn't learned marksmanship before?"

"I used to think I hadn't learned, until yesterday, when I was crazy with Tang Hu, I remembered that my grandfather taught me to divide the muscles and bones and a set of Mengxue stick methods. I used to wonder how there were so many 'poke out' moves in the stick method taught to me by my grandfather, and each move only had the upper body moves, but there was no change in the lower game. At that time, I was still thinking about what kind of trick this was, it was not even as good as street showing, and it was not practical at all. But after this period of time, riding a horse and practicing marksmanship with you, I realized that this was a set of marksmanship, and it was also used when riding a horse. ”

Bai Ke was stunned for a moment, and asked curiously, "What kind of marksmanship are you practicing?" ”

"Grandpa didn't mention the name of this marksmanship at all, only said that I was allowed to practice with a wooden stick, saying that it was to strengthen my muscles and bones."

"Is your grandfather still there?"

"It's long gone, I'm the only one left in our old Tang family. I got jaundice that year, and my grandfather, father, and mother went to Lord Yama to report together. ”

Until he died, grandpa didn't say anything.

Bai Ke sat on the ground and pondered for a moment, and said, "You can practice your family's martial arts and show me." ”

"Order!"

Tang Yuan jumped on horseback and brandished his spear.

Bai Ke looked at it for a while, and suddenly smiled bitterly: "Back and forth, it's actually three moves." However, the subtlety of these three moves is simply breathtaking. What's even more valuable is that you are very skilled. No wonder I was hit by you just now. But don't be complacent, you kid, when I change my weapon, we'll compare. ”

Maybe it was Instructor Bai Ke who lost face today, ran back on horseback, and took his best weapon, the Fang Tian Painting Halberd.

Fighting with Bai Ke again, Tang Yuan suddenly felt pressure, and Bai Ke's painting halberd ghost made the gods worse, making the young man suffer a lot.

"Forget it, forget it, don't fight, don't fight. Can't beat it. Tang Yuan waved his hand again and again: "Instructor Bai, you are not allowed to bully children, this is not authentic." ”

"You're not bad. When you practice "Seven Absolute Guns" to be as proficient as your original three moves, you may be able to fight me to a draw. Bai Ke said with a smile.

Instructor Bai rarely smiles, and his wolf eyes are as cold as ice.

He was in no mood to bully Tang Yuan, he just wanted to suppress the young man's skyrocketing arrogance today. On the battlefield, the word arrogance is the most taboo. Against a scheming person, arrogance is tantamount to suicide.

"But..."The corners of Tang Yuan's mouth tightened: "You still haven't taught me a trick." ”

"Over time, we will see people's hearts. Although I know a lot of people, after all, we have only been together for a short time, and it is impossible for me to teach a whole set of family heirloom martial arts to people who are not familiar with it. Bai Ke paused: "But you don't have to learn that trick now." The three tricks your grandfather taught you are no worse than the last trick I left behind. With these three tricks, you can make up for the lack of the last trick. ”

"In this way, it is more subtle to say that Instructor Bai's family marksmanship is more subtle." There was a hint of ridicule in Tang Yuan's tone.

Bai Ke snorted coldly: "Not necessarily. After all, these are two different systems of exercises. It can only be said that your family's exercises are very adaptable. I can go well with a lot of marksmanship. You don't have to talk to me, get up quickly, and continue training. In the competition in two days, I must be given a result. Don't forget our previous agreement. ”

"I won't forget. But I don't think I can beat them. ”

"Who can't you beat?"

"Don't say anything else, I can't beat Yue Pu." The young man said discouragedly: "One person can beat two instructors, but I can't beat even one." ”

Bai Ke snorted coldly: "Hmph, just them? ”

Listening to the tone, Bai Ke didn't pay attention to those instructors at all.

It seemed that Bai Ke wanted to rest for a while, he walked to the beacon tower and said in a deep tone: "Don't you often ask me where I came from?" I haven't said that to anyone since I came to the Shandong Road New Barracks. Except for Li Dangyang, the descendant of the slave of the Tang clan, the others don't know anything. ”

"Including General Tang Qi?" Tang Yuan asked.

"Yes, very few people know about me. Li Dangyang obeyed the order and remained silent. Including Tang Qi, he didn't say anything. If others don't say it, I won't say it. If Tang Qi didn't have any eyesight, I wouldn't have worked for her. Bai Ke looked into the distance, and his tone became deeper and deeper: "Do you know the last martial arts field exam?" ”

"It was seven years ago." Tang Yuan said: "I've heard of some. ”

"Who is Wu Zhuangyuan?" Bai Ke asked with a bitter smile.

"I remember this clearly, because he is also surnamed Tang, called Tang Xiao, and is the seventh son of the great Sima Tang Zhen." Tang Yuan stared at Bai Ke's eyes.

"No, he's not the champion." Bai Ke paused for a moment, and added in a deep voice: "He's not!" ”

Bai Ke slammed his fist into the beacon tower with a bang.

The thousand-year-old bricks and stones that had been beaten by the wind and rain were somewhat decayed, and they were punched away by him, and the sand and gravel rolled down.

"Seven years ago, in the quarterfinals of Wukechang, I played against Tang Xiao.

He is the noble son of the Tang clan, and he has twenty or thirty guards. And I'm just a mud leg from the deep mountains, I can't get together my coils, and I have been performing all the way to the capital before I came to the capital, and there was no one around me.

But I've seen him fight against people, and I'm sure I'll beat him.

But at this time, someone came to me and told me, you still don't compare, even if you win the champion, if you don't have the support of the gate valve, you can't be a big official.

The man said that he was the second son of the Tang Clan. He asked me to give up the game, deliberately lost to Tang Xiao, and then went with him. He promised to let me go directly to the Longyou Shence Army as a lieutenant general.

The temptation was just too great for me. It's a step to the sky. How can I not obey? So I deliberately lost to Tang Xiao. ”

"But then the second son broke his promise?" Tang Yuan said in a sympathetic tone.

"No, the second son didn't break his promise, but God didn't give him a chance to fulfill his promise. In fact, he is not the second son of the Da Sima family, but the second son of Uncle Tang Xiao's family. In the Tang Clan, he doesn't count his words, and he still expects this matter to take credit.

Unfortunately, I didn't understand these things at the time, so I waited in vain for four years.

At that time, he rented me a house in Luoyang, found me a woman, arranged servants, and served me properly, but he did not allow me to communicate with outsiders, and said that when he returned from the Hexi battlefield, he could arrange things for me to do.

But later, he died on the battlefield of Hexi.

It was the great retreat when the first emperor died, and he couldn't get out.

Later, somehow, Tang Xiao knew about me, and he didn't arrange me to be in the combat unit, but let me accompany Li Dangyang, a rice bucket, to the Shandong Provincial Recruit Training Camp, and stay here for three years. ”

Bai Ke looked at Tang Yuan coldly, and said in a deep voice: "But I don't like my current life, including when I was in Luoyang City, that kind of life is not what I want." ”

Tang Yuan pondered for a long time and said, "Your martial arts are so good, why didn't the second prince take you to the battlefield?" ”

Bai Ke was in a low mood and said: "He is worried that he will not be able to keep me if he has no actual military power, and he is afraid that I will be retained by Tang Su, the general of Longyou, for his own use." This second son is still quite ambitious, and he has the ambition to become the pillar of the Tang family. It's a pity that he is ambitious and unwise. God doesn't favor him. ”
