Where is this still the father who was sick and had difficulty walking? These days, Qin Mubai has been busy with his own affairs and has not paid much attention to his health, but he didn't expect such a big improvement!

"Drink, drink, drink!"

Angry reprimands, guns in mid-air are like fluttering, tearing through the sky and blooming a little light, killing the move, and the style is perverse!

"What a superb marksmanship!!" Qin Mubai couldn't help but exclaim loudly!

This is the legendary Qin Shubao!

The head of the Twelve Qin Clan's Sect and the first fierce general of the Tang Dynasty!

After a set of marksmanship, Uncle Qin Baolera returned to settle in front of Qin Mubai, inserted the spear in front of him, and asked solemnly, "Have you seen it clearly?" ”

"I can see it clearly. But my father made it so fast that I didn't write down a few tricks. Qin Mubai suddenly came back to his senses and replied.

"I didn't remember a few tricks, that's right!" Qin Shubao stroked his long beard, twisted his eyebrows and said, "Tai Chi, heavy meaning but not heavy shape." The Qin family's marksmanship, the moves are mainly practical killing, not sticking to the usual routine. The integration of the two sets of martial arts is a combination of rigidity and softness, which is more flexible and changeable. My father used this marksmanship just now, and he didn't remember a few tricks. ”

"Uh...... Then how do you cultivate? Qin Mubai asked confusedly.

"It's simple." Qin Shubao smiled coldly and stared at Qin Mubai, "Fight against me and teach you hand-in-hand in actual combat!" ”

"It's another battle! ......" Qin Mubai was a little dumbfounded, and there was a bone-chilling pain in many places on his body.

"Less nonsense, get on the horse!"

……

Two hours later, it was dark.

Qin Mubai dragged his almost crippled body back into the room. Seeing him like this, it made Liu cry for a while.

"Old Ghost Cheng has drunk too much wine and has no weight, why is your father so ruthless?"

Although Qin Mubai's whole body hurt like broken bones, he was full of joy and was very happy, he held his mother's hand tightly, and said in surprise: "Mother, you should be happy!" ”

"Seeing my son being beaten like this, how can I be happy to be a mother? Didn't you get beaten stupid, my son? Liu sobbed while wiping tears from his eyes.

"Mother! Didn't you see that my father's condition had improved so much that he was able to ride a horse and compete with a gun?! Qin Mubai said in surprise.

Liu Shi was suddenly stunned, and suddenly his face was happy: "Yes! For my mother, I'm not stupid, I actually forgot this layer - child, I asked the fourth sister to come and serve you with medicine, I'll go to see your father and see how he is! ”

"Mother, go!"

Sending her mother away, Qin Mubai lay down with a whimper, and her body was in pain!

Father really didn't brag. Now that he has regained a little mobility in his legs and feet, he is dragging a sick body that is still not healthy and flexible, and the marksmanship he uses is much more subtle and domineering than Cheng Zhijie!

At this time, Qin Mubai was thinking, according to the standards in some acting novels, the ranking of heroes evaluated by the level of force value is obviously nothing in real history, such as Yuwen Chengdu and Luo Cheng, these people are all fictional by novelists. Like them, in many versions of the "Eighteen Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", more than half of them do not exist at all. Even people like Li Tao can be portrayed as a half-demon and half-immortal military advisor like Zhuge Liang, which shows the rich imagination of ancient novel writers.

Only Qin Shubao's bravery is unmatched, that is really in line with the novel and known to the world - the Qin family's halberd twelve, the second-rank Shangzhu National Military Commander, is the best proof.

The twelve-sided Fangtian painting halberd specially given by the emperor was used to commend Qin Shubao's great military exploits! And the second-grade martial arts officer of the "Shangzhu Kingdom" is directly a supreme "Battle Hero" medal, and there is only Qin Shubao in the entire Zhenguan Dynasty. And the emperor said to everyone in public more than once, "The world's fierce generals, uncle treasure is the best!" ”

At this time, Qin Mubai has also read a lot of books, including official histories, wild histories, and codex notes. According to many records, when the war was pacified in that year, whenever there was an enemy general in the enemy formation, Li Shimin ordered Qin Shubao to take the lead and break the enemy's morale first. Qin Shubao has always lived up to his mission, and he has done more than once or twice to win the head of the enemy general in the midst of the army. When attacking Wang Shichong, Qin Shubao stuck his usual iron gun in the city to demonstrate. Wang Shichong's subordinates sent several pawns to pull out the gun, but they didn't pull it out. A few days later, Qin Shubao came, and easily pulled out his gun in front of everyone's eyes, patted his horse and walked away. The enemy army was dumbfounded, and a group of people didn't dare to come and chase Qin Shubao alone!

Another most powerful proof is that now, in the palace of the Tang Dynasty, there is still a collection of eight-foot iron spears used by Qin Shubao during the war. Whenever a foreign guest is invited to a banquet or a court banquet related to martial affairs, this iron spear will be taken out and admired.

The gun used by Qin Shubao was eight feet long, made of fine iron, and weighed dozens of catties, which did not match any wooden-handled gun made by the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, according to the current practice, guns over eight feet should be called "lances". The metaphor used by Cheng Zhijie is an eight-foot horse lance (one foot in the Tang Dynasty is equivalent to about 30 centimeters now).

But Qin Shubao said that he used a gun, then it is a gun!

People all over the world, from the emperor to the commoners, also call this gun "Qin gun", representing the strongest martial arts in the world in the martial arts of the Tang Dynasty!

"Tiger father can't have a dog, it seems that I still have to practice martial arts! As Cheng Zhijie said, even if you don't kill the enemy in the future, it is good as a capital to make a living. Qin Mubai thought to himself, "I don't know what my father thinks about me changing jobs?" He and Cheng Zhijie are both veterans who have been in the battlefield officialdom for decades, with more experience than me and more vicious vision than me, and they are both ready-made good teachers. I'll ask him about it tomorrow......"

Soon, the fourth sister Shuang'er came to put ointment on Qin Mubai. For this well-behaved and caring girl, Qin Mubai also likes it more and more. The brother and sister chatted for a long time, and the topic was naturally inseparable from Li Ke. At first, Qin Mubai was still a little unpredictable about the matter between her and Li Ke, thinking that her sister was wishful thinking in interpreting the story of Cinderella falling in love with Prince Charming. Through his interactions with Li Ke these days, he found that the merry Li Ke did have sincere feelings for his sister.

Why did my father refuse to agree to their marriage? Also, I have never seen Princess Wu Yang in the palace, and I have never heard Li Ke mention it. That King Wu's wife, where is she and what kind of person is the number one? ”

Many questions began to rise in Qin Mubai's mind, and he secretly pondered that he would have to figure out these things one by one in the future. I promised my little sister something, and I have to find a way to do it. It is also a good thing to let a lover eventually become an adult, and it is also a good thing with immeasurable merits. What's more, the object is still his own sister-in-law.

At dawn the next day, Qin Mubai, who used to get up early, was still asleep when there was a knock on the door.

The sound of the door was sonorous and rhythmic, and it was clear that the knocker was not using a hand, but a stick or something.

"Who?"

"Still not getting up yet?" It was actually Qin Shubao.

"Daddy? Come now! Qin Mubai wiped his eyes out of the warm quilt, he couldn't talk about washing his face and coughing his mouth, he put on a piece of clothing and followed his father to the backyard polo field.

Qin Shubao was still on crutches, and said with a serious expression and a silent expression: "My son, how can you lose to someone else's son in a martial arts competition?" If the Emperor chooses soldiers to serve as guards, you must win the championship! ”

"Oh, father, you know everything? The child is ready to consult with you on this matter. Qin Mubai said.

"When you and Cheng Biting Jin competed, Li Tao told me." Qin Shubao said.

"It's him......" Qin Mubai was a little surprised, thinking that Cheng Zhijie told his father.

"Less nonsense, you just remember that you have to win." Qin Shubao said in a deep voice, "Your archery skills, I don't worry too much about my father. But your immediate efforts are really bad. From today onwards, all your time will be spent practicing martial arts. When he was on an errand in the palace, he didn't fool around with Li Ke, there were sergeants and martial artists, and they competed with them; When you return home, if Cheng Zhijie comes, you will ask him for advice; Other times, push yourself for your father! ”

"Yes, the child should obey. But Father, your body ......"

"It's not something you should worry about." After a pause, Qin Shubao still said, "After practicing Tai Chi and drinking medicinal wine, especially after the mood is relaxed, my father's body has improved greatly. Although it is still far from healing, it has at least recovered one or two percent. ”

"That's fine......" Qin Mubai breathed a sigh of relief and nodded happily. Then he asked, "Dad, you seem to have a prejudice against King Wu?" ”

"Absolutely not." Qin Shubao said categorically, "On the contrary, I think he is a very good young man. In many ways, he's a lot better than you. ”

"Then father, why are you ......" Qin Mubai thought for a while, decided not to mention his sister's matter for the time being, and said, "Like Uncle Cheng, you want me to leave King Wu's Mansion?" ”

"The reason is simple." A strange light flashed in Qin Shubao's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "Among the emperor's many sons and nephews, Li Ke can actually be said to be the most like His Majesty the Emperor, his bloodline is also the most noble, and he has a good reputation among the people of the government and the public. He was intelligent, capable, all-rounder, and ambitious, and even the emperor himself praised him as 'a hero like me'. ”

Qin Mubai understood the meaning of his father's words, nodded and said: "But Wu Wangke is a concubine, compared to the prince, King Wei and others, he has the lowest status, but he is the most capable and closest to the emperor in the eyes of everyone." So, these advantages of his have become the lifeblood of the jealousy and jealousy of his brothers, right? ”

"Not bad. Looks like you've got a little bit of something to do. Qin Shubao said, "Now, the crown prince is not good, and the emperor favors the king of Wei, and it seems that he has a great intention of abolishing it." Because of this, the princes and kings are a little ready to move, and the desire to compete for the heir is clearly revealed. Although Li Ke's performance is not too obvious, he has always been the most cutting-edge among the princes. Especially many old ministers, they seem to have seen the shadow of the emperor when he was young. Therefore, Li Ke is definitely an eventful master. Even if he has no intention of keeping a low profile everywhere, it will inevitably become an obstacle in the eyes of other princes. The trees want to be quiet and the wind does not stop, Wu Wangfu is destined to be an eventful place! Do you still need to hold him firmly and wade through this muddy water? ”

Don’t wait for prosperity to care for the things important to you?!

Qin Mubai thought in his heart: A few days ago, Li Ke also said this to me!

It seems that the fact is indeed as my father said - the battle for the heir above the court has begun, and Li Ke has also been affected.

This is indeed a dangerous sign. Throughout the ages, whenever such a thing happened, a large number of people would eventually fall. Once a son of heaven and a courtier, it is impossible for a prince who has succeeded in winning the throne to allow his former political opponents to continue to remain in the world and pose a threat to himself.

In this way, it is not uncommon for brothers to kill each other, or even kill their own children with their own hands like Wu Zetian. Didn't the Xuanwu Gate of this dynasty once witness one of the most famous mutinies? At that time, Li Shimin was not only as simple as killing his brother and forcing his father to take the Zen position, but he didn't even leave any of the heirs of the two brothers, even if it was a baby in infancy, he took it down with a knife and cut the grass and eradicated the roots!

On the other hand, if Li Jiancheng succeeded, Li Shimin would also end like this.

And most of the friends and subordinates who followed Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji back then were also a dead end under the nest, like Wei Zheng, the die-hard loyalty of the former prince and the "enemies" left behind by Li Shimin, who cherished his talents, are a minority after all.

Winning the heir has always been bloody, and there is no mercy and luck to speak of. It is no wonder that his father and Cheng Zhijie unanimously asked Qin Mubai to stay away from King Wu and go to the emperor's side to take office. They have personally experienced the changes in Xuanwumen, and naturally deeply understand the stakes involved.

"Father, I understand." Qin Mubai said, "Although Li Ke has a good personal relationship with me, and he treats me well, but in terms of the overall situation and major interests, there is no need for me to take the initiative to put my life and my Qin family's honor and disgrace into it because of this personal favor." ”

"The fact that you can think that proves that you do have some wisdom." Qin Shubao nodded with satisfaction, "My father also said just now, from a private point of view, I actually like Li Ke very much." But in the big picture, I want you to stay away from him. Wouldn't it be nice to have a logical opportunity to leave King Wu's Mansion now? In this way, we will not offend Li Ke, nor will it appear that we are ungrateful. After all, serving the Son of Heaven is far more meaningful than following King Wu, and Li Ke will not say anything. And the personal relationship between you and him also needs to be well grasped. ”

"Well, I'll take care of it, don't worry, father." Qin Mubai agreed to the promise, and thought in his heart: I'm afraid this is also the reason why my father refused to marry the fourth sister to Li Ke...... thinks that he is a sharp and troubled master, and may cause trouble to the Qin family in the future.

"Okay, that's it. The conversation between our father and son cannot be told to any outsider. If you claim to be smart, you should be able to think through everything. Uncle Qin's sword eyebrows twisted, and he shouted, "Get on the horse and practice martial arts!" You must strengthen the weaknesses of cavalry archery and horse pistol in the shortest possible time, so that you can win the championship in one fell swoop when the emperor selects troops for the competition! Otherwise, you can roll up the cover and get out of the Qin family by yourself, and change your name and surname from now on, don't say that it is my Qin Qiong's son! ”

"Yes, Father!"
