Chapter 53: The Trainees Make a Gamble
In the tent, Long Jun glanced at Ma Chao, who was angry, and then glanced at Zhao Yun and Xu Chu, who were watching the excitement on the side, shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Okay, don't pretend, how much you protect me!" If you want to fight Ziyi, you don't have to do this! ”
was recognized by Long Jun, Ma Chao didn't explain, only laughed twice and retreated to the side.
Turning around, Long Jun continued to say to Tai Shici in a deep voice, "Ziyi, in fact, it doesn't matter if we lead the military flag of Nazhou, the Yellow Turban Army is just a problem of scabies for the imperial court, and now the party is forbidden to solve it, there are many people with lofty ideals in the world, and the Yellow Turban Army will be exterminated in less than two years, for our Long Family Army, if you want to exchange for meritorious service, you must go to Jizhou to participate in the extermination of Zhang Jiao, after all, where is the most important place for the imperial court!" We will accept the Qingzhou military flag, and now the biggest bandit in Qingzhou is only Bu Ji, so after destroying Bu Ji, we will rush to Jizhou, and please forgive Ziyi! ”
Tai Shi Ci can say the words "The eldest husband was born in troubled times, and he should mention the three-foot Qingfeng to make immortal contributions", of course, he also knew in his heart that if the Long family army was trapped in Qingzhou to suppress bandits, when the meritorious deeds were rewarded in the future, the imperial court would definitely not give much merit.
With a deep groan, Tai Shi Ci said with a straight face, "No matter what, General Long is willing to help the people of Qingzhou repel Bu Ji, I am grateful, as for the suggestion below, General Long can completely ignore it, so as not to delay the future of the brothers!" ”
Seeing Tai Shici so reasonable, Long Jun sighed greatly, he deserved to be Sun Wu's first general, and with this open-mindedness, it is not comparable to ordinary people.
So Long Jun ordered Xu Chu to personally go down to prepare a banquet and prepare a good reception for Tai Shi Ci, but before Xu Chu left, Ma Chao, who wanted to fight with Tai Shi Ci just now, spoke up again, "Master, you have said many times that there is a Tai Shi Ci in Donglai who is outstanding in martial arts, and he is really first-class in the world, and he wants to compare himself with this Tai Shi Master to see how far he is from the world's first-class!" ”
Ma Chao's second request for battle suddenly made Long Jun interested, he didn't agree before, because he didn't want to make Tai Shi Ci disgusted, now that the matter has been said, this concern no longer exists, after all, many people in the previous life said that Tai Shi Ci's martial arts can definitely be ranked among the top few in the world, but he died young and did not have the opportunity to show his due strength!
Tai Shi Ci, who was standing on the side, was also aroused at this moment, from the beginning of the meeting, the three teenagers have been whispering there, pointing at themselves, at first he also felt that the commander of the Long family army was all teenagers, this was the result of the young man's heart, and he couldn't help but have a little more contempt for the commander of the Long family army in his heart, but this kid wanted to fight with himself again and again, and also revealed that Long Jun had already paid attention to himself, Tai Shi Ci felt strange! Then he asked Long Jun with an inquiring look, "General Long knows that he is below?" ”
In order to avoid Tai Shi Ci becoming suspicious and thinking that he had bad intentions towards him, Long Jun felt that it was better to talk about the matter, so he explained, "Presumably Ziyi knows about the new bar? This is the wine produced by my Long family, Yin Zhao Yin Zibo, who went to Huang County to promote the new wine before, was sent by the next, and he also came back to tell me that there is a young hero named Tai Shici in Huang County, so as soon as you came, everyone was curious about you! ”
It turned out that this was the case, Tai Shici hurriedly smiled and said, "It's really Zibo who praises it first!" How can the martial arts be mediocre in the world! ”
"Ziyi doesn't have to be too humble, today my account commander and Ziyi have a brave fight, I hope Ziyi Haihan, please accept!" With a deep groan, Long Jun continued: "However, before the meal, if you use force, both sides will be hungry and will not be able to exert their strength. How about having a fun time after dinner? ”
"Since General Long is so important, he doesn't know how to lift up when he shirks below!"
Seeing that Taishi Ci was willing to accept the competition with himself, Ma Chao was ecstatic, since he defeated Long Jun, the contest between Zhao Yun and Xu Chu was a tie, and for such a long time, they were also familiar with each other's martial arts moves, and it was not much help for the improvement of their own martial arts at all, only by challenging outsiders could they improve their martial arts knowledge!
"What weapon does Lord Taishi use? I'll send someone to prepare it for you!" ”
"Is there a lance?"
"Yes, one of the trophies captured last time was a horse lance, but it was not a good one!"
"No problem!"
"Okay, I'll order someone to prepare for you!"
Knowing that the two were going to test their martial arts, Xu Chu's meals were prepared very quickly, and even everyone was gobbling up food, wanting to watch the contest between Ma Chao and Tai Shici as soon as possible!
After the meal, everyone Lian Jue came to the military training field, in order to avoid Tai Shici suffering losses on the horses, so Long Jun decided to let the two of them fight on foot, after all, Ma Chao's horse is Xiliang Wuqi, second only to Long Ma in the Long family army!
After the two sides set up a position and said to each other, "Please advise", Ma Chao took the lead in shooting and pointed directly at Tai Shici's chest, but Tai Shici's lance was the last to come, using the elasticity of the lance, pushed away Ma Chao's spear, and then stepped forward and attacked Ma Chao's neck with a backhand.
Only one move took the lead, Zhao Yun Xu Chu on the side saw this, first pinched a sweat for Ma Chao, and then secretly praised Tai Shici's wit, the spear may be the advantage of the lance on the horse, but on land with the length can completely suppress the lance, using the elasticity of the lance to break the advantage of Ma Chao's spear, which shows that this person has extraordinary insight.
After a series of moves, Ma Chao was in danger, but after Long Jun's training for so long, Ma Chao was no longer what it used to be, holding the head of the gun back, and a move Shenlong swinging his tail directly threw the tail of the gun under Tai Shi Ci's left ribs, forcing Tai Shi Ci to defend himself, Ma Chao took this opportunity to distance himself and counter Tai Shi Ci under his own gun shadow. After fighting for about sixty moves, Tai Shi Ci gradually showed his physical exhaustion, how could Ma Chao let go of this opportunity, and smashed Tai Shi Ci's head directly with a blow to the top of the overlord.
Seeing this, Tai Shi Ci raised the long lance horizontally to resist, but Ma Chao's overlord cover had been accumulating for a long time, and the long lance was directly smashed and bent, and it was about to touch Tai Shi Ci's heavenly spirit cover, the corners of Tai Shi Ci's mouth suddenly showed a smile that had succeeded in his plan, and he clenched the long lance against Ma Chao's spear with both hands, and his body turned up directly, and a harrier turned over, and kicked Ma Chao's chest, forcing Ma Chao to retreat four or five steps in a row, and before Ma Chao could react, Tai Shi Ci's long lance had been pointed directly at the place where Ma Chao's chest was two fingers in front of Ma Chao's chest!
The dust settled, in addition to Long Jun, Zhao Yun and Xu Chu were surprised by Tai Shi Ci, and admired Tai Shi Ci, Ma Chao was carrying four martial arts of Ma Family Gun, Hundred Birds Chaofeng, Overlord Gun and Long Jun hand-to-hand combat, but he was still defeated in his hands, which can completely show that Tai Shi Ci's martial arts are superb!
For Ma Chao's martial arts, Long Jun can be said to have the most right to speak, his apprentice has always learned too much, the Hundred Birds Chaofeng Gun is not as good as Zhao Yunjing, and the hand-to-hand combat skills are not as strong as Xu Chu's, and the two of him can be completely pressed and beaten, because he understands this, but once he faces others, his own shortcomings will be exposed!
Coughing lightly and pulling back the eyes of everyone present, Long Jun first congratulated Tai Shi Ci with a smile, and then said to Ma Chao in a deep voice, "Meng Qi, do you know why I allowed you to challenge Brother Ziyi?" ”
Ma Chao, who was flushed, bit his lip and shook his head when he heard Long Jun's inquiry!
Long Jun didn't care about this, and continued: "The gap between you and Zilong Zhongkang is not big now, and even above the two, but once you both reach the prime of life, you are definitely not the opponent of the two, do you know why?" ”
"The apprentice doesn't know!"
Snorted coldly, Long Jun looked at Ma Chao with disappointed eyes, and said slowly, "You have to learn so many moves in all martial arts, but you are not as good as me in the overlord gun, not as good as Zilong in the hundred birds and phoenix guns, and not as good as Zhong Kang in fighting skills!" Today, when you fight Ziyi, when you don't know the depth of Ziyi, you can easily use the overlord to cover the top, but you don't leave a trace of backhand, which can be said to be arrogant and stupid! ”
Long Jiang's words were too ruthless, three were not as stupid as one, and Ma Chao was worthless, making him blush, his hands clenched into fists, and his body trembled!
Tai Shi Ci, Zhao Yun and Xu Chu saw that they hurriedly dissuaded Long Jun, hoping that he would not be so angry, but Long Jun stood there staring at Ma Chao, and the few people who made it did not dare to speak out to convince him!
About a cup of tea later, Ma Chao showed a relieved look to Long Jun's eyes, and said loudly, "Master, the apprentice has embarrassed you today, I have always been too dull, I don't know the master's deep meaning, today the master scolded Meng Qi, Meng Qi promised that from now on, he will never be complacent!" I will definitely meet the master's requirements and take my own path! ”
Seeing that his goal was achieved, Long Jun glanced at Ma Chao, and then stopped talking, it turned out that for such a period of time, Ma Chao because of the destruction of 10,000 yellow turban main forces, plus the cavalry in charge of the Long family's army, he had a lot of thoughts about not putting the world's heroes in his eyes, which was not good for his future, every time Long Jun thought of how Guan Yu died in his previous life, he was afraid, deeply afraid that his cheap apprentice would follow in Guan Yu's footsteps and lose on this character, but fortunately, Ma Chao has now woken up, and Long Jun is also deeply relieved.
However, for Tai Shi Ci, Long Jun really didn't want to let him go, after a competition just now, Long Jun saw that Tai Shi Ci's use of the lance was very exquisite, especially in the end, using the characteristics of the lance, turning defeat into victory, it was simply a stroke of genius!
Walking in front of Tai Shici, Long Jun first made a long album to express his gratitude to him, "This time, I am very grateful to Brother Ziyi for giving me this opportunity to educate the bad guys!" Then Long Jun made a second long album and continued: "Brother Ziyi, now that the Yellow Turban is in turmoil in the world, why don't you have such martial arts on the battlefield, lift those three-foot Qingfeng, and make meritorious deeds for all generations?" My Long Jiajun has accepted the official recognition of the local government at this moment, and it is the time when there is a shortage of major generals, if Brother Ziyi comes to help me, I will treat him as a national soldier! I hope Brother Ziyi will accept my suggestion."
"It's... This..."
Long Jun's admiration and solicitation made Tai Shici's heart quite excited, but his mother was old and needed his service, if he was a filial son, if he joined the army, how could his mother rest assured and let his mother worry, was it a filial son? After thinking about it, Tai Shici still refused, "I'm sorry general, it's not that I don't know how to lift, but my mother is old at home, and my parents are not traveling far, please forgive me for the kindness of the general!" ”
"Have you forgotten that your parents have a sentence behind a short trip?"
waved his hand to stop Tai Shici, not letting him continue to speak, and said, "Ziyi's concern is nothing more than Ling Tang's body, you can know how old I am this year?" ”
"This..."After glancing at Long Jun seriously, Tai Shici said uncertainly, "The general is at least fifteen or sixteen!" ”
Shaking his head, Long Jun smiled and said, "I'm only twelve years old this year!" ”
"What's twelve?" Tai Shi Ci was shocked, a twelve-year-old boy commanded 3,000 soldiers and horses, and went into battle to meet the enemy! No one believed it!
"Yes, twelve!" After a pause, Long Jun continued with a look of helplessness and remembrance on his face: "Do you know what the surname Long belongs to in Dahan? The hat of the remnants of Xichu can be fastened on our heads at any time, in order to make my family stable, I can only rise up against this sad fate, do you know that my mother is not in good health, my father died early, there is only a trace of figure in my mind, when I parted, my mother only sent me a letter that said, she didn't want to say goodbye to me, she just wanted to reunite with me! At that time, I thought, this life is worth it, because I am working hard for our mother and son to be reunited safely, if Ziyi joins the Long Family Army, he can take his mother to Guangling to live with my mother. ”
For what Long Jun said, Tai Shi Ci has a deep understanding, the surname of the Long family is known to the world, and it is not easy for Long Jun to rise up in Qingzhou at the age of a weak crown, but he can leave his mother, can he do it himself? Then he continued with a trace of regret, "The general's intentions, Ziyi's heart understands, but Ziyi is afraid that his mother will not give up his homeland!" ”
"That's Ziyi, you and I make a bet!"
Bet? Tai Shi Ci was a little confused by the second monk and asked, "What does the general mean?" ”
"Bet on three things, first, whether the Long family army can defeat Bu Jimo's Yellow Turban Army, second, whether I can kill Bu Jimo, and third, send a letter of resignation to Huangxian County to see if the old lady hopes that her son will give up the future because of herself! If I do the first two things, you have to serve me no matter what the future holds! How is it? ”
"General, you're forcing me!"
"Who in this world dares to coerce Taishi Ziyi? Doing the first two is just my promise to you! As for the third thing, whether the old lady agrees or not, it's just a reassuring pill for you! ”
Long Jun's proposal made Tai Shi Ci's heart throb, not to mention what Long Jun did, with his previous heartfelt words, he made Tai Shi Ci empathize, and laughed, Tai Shi Ci said with a straight face, "I took this bet with Tai Shi Ci!! ”
