Qin Mubai sat in a small carriage and went to his house in a hurry. Pang Fei did something, he was relieved, twenty hundred cavalry sergeants were enough to clean up Xue Rengui; Wu Meiniang also doesn't need to worry about it.

If Wu Meiniang still can't settle Xue Rengui at this level, then she won't be Wu Meiniang.

Qin Mubai couldn't help but laugh secretly when he thought about it, having such a wife was really worry-free. She always knows what she wants to do. Everything can be understood, not spoken.

and smart people in things, comfortable; Having a smart wife is even more comfortable!

Back at home, Qin Mubai went straight back to his room, and the servant brought the stove, boiled tea, and picked up the military book to study carefully.

In the past few days, I've been a little crazy to have fun, I haven't practiced martial arts and haven't read the art of war, it's time to precipitate myself in time. Qin Mubai has always felt that as a man, it is the most important thing to improve himself every day. Luck is the most amazing thing in the world, but it is often also the least reliable; Opportunity has always favored only those who are prepared.

After reading the book for more than an hour, Qin Mubai wrote more than a dozen pages of notes, all about the understanding and interpretation of this art of war, as well as many things he didn't understand. Li Jing's art of war is really broad and profound, and he can see the truth in the subtleties, and it is all from practice, which is quite useful.

Combined with the military theories and military ideas he learned in the military academy in the 21st century, Qin Mubai comprehended and sublimated them, which was quite virtuous. Basically, reading a page of a military book is only a few hundred words, but the notes written by Qin Mubai have more than a thousand words or even thousands of words. The progress of reading is not fast, but it is chewed very carefully and deeply experienced.

It was noon in a blink of an eye, Qin Mubai went downstairs, had lunch with the demon and the others, and then went back to the room to take a nap, got up and continued to read. In the afternoon, someone came to the house. Qin Mubai walked to the window to take a look, and saw that Wu Meiniang was getting out of the car, and she was riding on the side of the car, it was Xue Rengui.

Seeing this, Qin Mubai couldn't help but smile slightly: Mei Niang is really amazing!

So I went downstairs, and Wu Meiniang and Xue Rengui were in the main hall. Seeing Qin Mubai, Xue Rengui looked ashamed, and came to worship on one knee: "Xue is ashamed!" ”

"Get up." Qin Mubai stepped forward to hold his elbow and said with a smile, "Brother Xue, it's not that Qin is going to embarrass you, it's just ...... Well, I don't know what to say. All in all, as a man, I can't bear to see women and children suffering. ”

Xue Rengui stood up, shook his head ashamedly, and sighed: "It's me who is too hypocritical and stubborn. Wu Dongjia scolded bitterly, which made a certain mouth open. From now on, if you are willing to follow the general, only the horse is the first! ”

"It doesn't have to be this way." Qin Mubai said, "I never thought of recruiting you under my command and using you for my use. ”

Xue Rengui was slightly stunned: "What is the general's intention?" ”

"I am optimistic about your martial arts talents, and I also respect your character and virtue, and I hope to become a good friend with you, that's all." Qin Mubai said very sincerely, "Since we are friends, how can I not help you when I see you in trouble?" It's a pity, you seem to have misunderstood me all along, thinking that I have nothing to do, and that I am either a traitor or a thief, right? ”

"It's Xue who is too small-bellied...... Xue Rengui lowered his head and said.

Wu Meiniang smiled and said, "Okay, why do you two big men twist Nini so much? Brother Xue, if it weren't for the little sister who wanted to embarrass you and embarrass you, in fact, you were like this, making Sister-in-law Liu's mother and son suffer and she had been stuck in the quagmire and depressed, which is sad! Mu Bai is really just a sincere and kind person, I want you to have a chance to display your talents. At the same time, Mu Bai never had any crooked thoughts. He is just a general, of course he respects talents with outstanding martial arts, in fact, it is such a simple thing! ”

"Yes, it's Xue who doesn't know how to lift and doesn't forgive people...... I'm sorry! Xue Rengui turned around and apologized to Wu Meiniang.

"Hee-hee!" Wu Meiniang smiled, "Okay, it's good if you are willing to change your mind!" Men's ambitions are all over the place, and the glory of a lifetime must be created by themselves. Mu Bai never gives charity to others, and can only introduce you once at most. I also told you just now, Wu Wangfu is preparing to send cashiers to recruit martial arts lists, and recruit martial brave people to enter the palace as generals. This is a great opportunity that you should cherish. ”

Qin Mubai said: "By the way, King Wu invited many military veterans to participate in the evaluation, and the selection and evaluation are open and very fair and just. Although you are my friend and my relationship with King Wu is not bad, if you want to be successfully selected, you must rely on your true skills. The only thing I can do for you is to lend you my Fire Cloud Pony. ”

"Thank you, General! Some, I will live up to the general! Xue Rengui clenched his fists and said solemnly.

Qin Mubai smiled slightly: "On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, you can go by yourself!" ”

"Good!" Xue Rengui promised in a deep voice.

"Before that, you lived in Mei Niang's place first, just for the sake of your sister-in-law and children. The eldest husband can bend and stretch, and whatever grievances you have will hold back first. When you run for the election of an officer in the palace of the king of Wu, you will have a place to live and a place to live. Qin Mubai nodded and smiled, "Brother Xue, you will understand after a long time." ”

Xue Rengui gritted his teeth, raised his thick eyebrows lightly and arched his hand: "Brother Qin, Wu Dongjia, your enthusiasm and kindness, Xue is unforgettable!" ”

"Between friends, it doesn't have to be this way. Maybe one day, I, Qin, will need your help. Qin Mubai smiled and said, "If you have any needs, just open your mouth, don't be hypocritical." It's good to treat Mei Niang's house as your own home. ”

"Okay." Xue Rengui finally smiled, "Then I won't bother, and I'll go back to take care of Humble Jing first." ”

"Okay, I won't keep you either. Another day, let's get together again to drink and get drunk. Qin Mubai smiled, "But Brother Xue, you have to practice your alcohol earlier." ”

"Although a certain amount of alcohol is not good, if you drink with the general, you will sacrifice your life to accompany you." Xue Rengui clenched his fists heavily, "Farewell!" ”

"Let's go!"

Xue Rengui left, Qin Mubai breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled at Wu Meiniang: "Meiniang, there is really you." ”

"It's a trifle!" Wu Meiniang said with a smile, "Actually, people like Xue Rengui are quite easy to deal with, his reserve is like a layer of window paper, and it is easy to say anything after stabbing it." If you send someone to arrest him, you will have pierced his window paper. At this point, he will either be angry and turn his face on us, or he will let go of his reserve and be honest. Obviously, Xue Rengui is a sincere and kind-hearted person, and he chose the latter. It didn't take much for me to convince him. Of course, there is no lack of credit for Sister-in-law Liu. ”

"The dust is settled." Qin Mubai nodded and smiled, "Actually, it was also my idea to take Xue Rengui with me." After getting along in Xiangzhou for a year or two, he will naturally know who I am. Actually, I'm a little reluctant to ride those people. A group of elites that I have worked so hard to train, as well as some brothers in life and death who have lived and lost their lives, are all about to fall. ”

"When you say that, I think about it." Wu Meiniang said, "When Pang Fei brought Xue Rengui here, he was willing to ask me to help intercede and let you take him with those hundred horsemen brothers. ”

"How easy is this to say?" Qin Mubai twisted his brows and said, "It's not that I haven't thought about it, but it's really difficult." Baiqi is the emperor's personal guard, how can he be easily dispatched? It's hard for me to talk to the emperor about this. ”

"Hehe, it's not easy for you to speak, just let Princess Gaoyang speak for you!" Wu Meiniang said with a smile.

"She?" Qin Mubai smiled, "Forget it, she has never been involved with this kind of thing." ”

"You're so stupid!" Wu Meiniang said with a smile, "You just let Princess Gaoyang go to the emperor and hum, saying that she often needs someone to protect her, so let the emperor send Pang Fei and others to her, can the emperor still agree?" Then, these people belonged to Princess Gaoyang, and it was not up to her to decide who she wanted to give them to? ”

Qin Mubai couldn't help but light up in his heart: "You mean, let Princess Gaoyang open a mansion?" ”

"Kaifu?" Wu Meiniang was stunned, "I didn't think about this." But as a princess, there are dozens of guards by her side, isn't it too much? ”

"It's not too much." Qin Mubai thought for a while and nodded slowly, "According to what you say, it's really feasible......

"Don't worry, the emperor is responding to Princess Gaoyang now, and this mere guard will definitely be willing to give it, and the hundred horsemen are originally serving the royal family!" Wu Meiniang said, "As long as the emperor gives it, then he also knows it in his heart, Princess Gaoyang is the person you want." Imagine, the princess is worried about the safety of the horses traveling far away, and sending a guard to provide him with protection is also out of the common feelings of caring people, which is not an exaggeration! In this case, the matter makes sense. Far from being blamed, the Emperor will be relieved that you are trustworthy. ”

"Wonderful! Mei Niang, you are really resourceful. Qin Mubai laughed, domineeringly picked up her face and kissed her red lips a few times, "Thank you so much!" ”

"Hey, I hate it!" Wu Meiniang reached out and pinched him twice in annoyance, "You still have a heart, now that I mention the words Princess Gaoyang, my heart is sour!" ”

"Hehe, it's not sour, it's not sour, come, I'll peel a fruit for you to eat, and let the kitchen make desserts for you." Qin Mubai coaxed Wu Meiniang to sit down with a smile, and pinched her shoulder flatteringly, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Wu Dongjia." If you're okay in the afternoon, can you study with me here? ”

"Reading? It's boring, don't accompany! Wu Meiniang pouted and said stupidly, "You don't have any other arrangements in the afternoon?" ”

"After a few days of eating, drinking, and having fun, I should read a book in peace. Li Jing only read a few pages of the art of war for me, which is really broad and profound, and there are many things I don't understand. I really want to go to the house and ask for advice! Qin Mubai said.

"Then go, I'll go with you, it's too boring to stay at home!" Wu Meiniang said with a smile, "I have heard the name of Wei Gong Li Jing for a long time, I really want to see the real face!" ”

Qin Mubai thought for a while and nodded: "Okay, let's go together." ”

Soon after, the two of them set off for the Wei Mansion after a little preparation. Li Jing advocated frugality and never accepted gifts, so Qin Mubai only brought two pots of self-brewing medicinal wine as a meeting gift. Li Jing and Qin Shubao have rheumatism and foot diseases, so they must like to drink this kind of medicinal wine. It's just that Li Jing's foot disease is not all rheumatism, but he suffered from sword sores in his early years, so he is afraid that it will be difficult to heal for a while.

When the two of them arrived at the Wei Gong Mansion, Menzi already recognized Qin Mubai, so they let him in. Li Jing was reading in the hall, and he seemed to be quite happy to hear that Qin Mubai was coming, and he smiled from afar: "Mubai, you are here!" ”

"Meet Wei Gong!" The two of them stepped forward to salute together.

Li Jing glanced at Wu Meiniang, stroked her hair and smiled: "Mu Bai, this is your confidante Wu girl, right?" ”

"Wu Zhao has seen Wei Guogong." Wu Meiniang's Shi Li said.

"Okay, good, it's really a pair of golden boys and jade girls with bead curtains, not bad." Li Jing smiled, "Sit down." It's snowing and cold today, why did you think of coming to my old man's house? ”

The two sat down, and Qin Mubai arched his hand and said: "The day before yesterday, I was given a book by Duke Wei, and after I went back, I studied it carefully, and there were many unclear points, so I specially came to ask for advice." If there is any disturbance, I hope to defend the public sea. ”

"yes, okay." Li Jing nodded and smiled, "The old man has heard His Majesty the Emperor mention many times that Qin Sanlang has outstanding qualifications, is diligent in learning and self-denial, and is a material that can be made. Say, what's not to understand? ”

Qin Mubai got up and walked to Li Jing's side, took out his notes and handed them to him, and pointed them out to him one by one to see what he didn't understand.

Wu Meiniang got up obediently: "Wei Guogong, the little girl won't bother here, can you go to the house and walk around at will?" ”

"Okay, go ahead, feel free." Li Jing said with a smile.

Wu Meiniang gave a salute and left, Li Jing smiled and said: "Mu Bai, you are not blessed, there is such a knowledgeable and intelligent confidant, you must cherish it." ”

Qin Mubai couldn't help laughing and said, "Wei Guogong only glanced at it, and he already knew that she was knowledgeable, smart and capable?" ”

"Hehe, the face of life, when you are older, you can see more people, so you can naturally see it at a glance. Okay, gossip, and wait for the old man to look at your codex. Li Jing said that, he frowned slightly, and carefully looked through Qin Mubai's notes.

Qin Mubai stood quietly aside, adding charcoal or tea to the stove from time to time, and did not make a sound.

After a while, Li Jing suddenly looked at Qin Mubai with a look of surprise on his face, his curiosity aroused, and he quickly flipped through his notes.

"What's wrong, Wei Gong? Is there anything wrong? Qin Mubai asked.

"Don't worry, wait for the old man to take a closer look." Li Jing waved his hand, his expression became a little more solemn, and he looked more and more detailed.

After a while, Li Jing suddenly closed his notes and slapped them heavily: "Wonderful! Sure enough, it is a material that can be made, and the talent is extremely high! ”

"This ......" Qin Mubai was stunned for a moment, "Duke Wei, but what did you do wrong?" ”

"No, instead of doing something wrong, you're doing it very well." Li Jing was quite excited, took a long breath and said in a sonorous voice, "The old man has read your thoughts and comments, and he has a lot of insight. There are many places that make the old man feel a little open. You are smart, know how to draw inferences, and dare to question. is an ordinary person, because the old man's name is there, he will not question any words in this military book, and he will not dare to put forward his own opinions with an axe. But you dare to doubt and dare to innovate, which is really a great good, a great good! ”

"This ...... Wei Gong is really too famous! The younger generation doesn't know anything about the art of war, and just relies on assumptions and speculations. Wei Gong must not be taken seriously. Qin Mubai hurriedly arched his hand.

"No, no, no, some of the ideas and ideas you have come up with in this Codex are very bold and creative. To be able to comprehend the art of war on a piece of paper in the dead book to such a flexible degree, the old man is unheard of. Mu Bai, you are definitely a genius born for martial arts! Li Jing said with emotion.

Qin Mubai smiled ashamedly and said nothing. But in my heart, I just watched it with a fascination, and for a while I couldn't help but combine the modern military theories and ideas I had learned before, and perfect and improve them. Alas, shameful plagiarism...... actually made Li Jing like this, sin, sin!

"Mu Bai, you go back, read the "Jade Tent Sutra" well, let your imagination go as before, and write down the notes and opinions in detail. After reading it, he brought the codex to the old man and asked him to read it carefully. Li Jing paused for a moment after speaking, a rather excited light flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "Perhaps, the Jade Tent Sutra can be a little more perfect!" ”

"Yes, Wei Gong." Qin Mubai responded with a fist clenched.

"In other days, this "Jade Tent Sutra" is not written by me alone, and it also has the hard work and credit of your Qin Mubai." Li Jing laughed and said, "Presumably, it will become a treasure book of soldiers!" Mu Bai, you are really a blessed general, a genius lucky general! ”

"Uh...... The younger generation is at the end of the class, and he doesn't know anything about the art of war, so he dares to compare himself with Wei Gong to sell his reputation and reputation? Qin Mubai grinned embarrassedly, and said in his heart: If this spreads, people will believe me, and I won't believe it myself! …… Ah, what a sin!

"It's okay!" Li Jing smiled and said, "Don't worry about these for the time being, you go back to study first." Remember, the Codex should be written in detail. Furthermore...... Can you write bigger? The old man's eyes are not too good. What pen do you use to write this, and the words are so small as a fly's head? ”

"Hehe, okay, the juniors know." Qin Mubai smiled, took out a few tubes of goose quills made by himself and gave them to Li Jing, and said, "Gong Wei, this ink can be written, compared to Mao Hao's soft pen, it will be faster and easier." If you write a book and write a large amount of work, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. ”

"Well, but an interesting thing. Okay, the old man will accept it, and he will definitely try it. Li Jing smiled with interest.

"Then the junior won't bother much, so I'll leave." Qin Mubai gave a salute, called Wu Meiniang outside, and the two said goodbye together.

Li Jing looked at Qin Mubai thoughtfully, as if hesitating, and after they left, he didn't say a word again. Watching the two drift apart, Li Jing stroked his long beard and squinted his eyes slightly, nodded slowly and said to himself: "The future is terrifying, His Majesty the Emperor is really as wise as a torch, Qin Mubai is indeed a rare talent...... Should I also pass on the second half of the "Jade Tent Sutra"? ”

On the return journey, Wu Meiniang said: "Mu Bai, Li Jing is really a big hero!" ”

"Well, why did you say this all of a sudden?" Qin Mubai asked curiously.

"While you two were talking in the hall, I was hanging out in his house and chatting with the old servant." Wu Meiniang said, "What kind of master there is, what kind of subordinate there is." When I am a layman, I often get to know each other first. Li Jing's mansion is very simple, it can be seen that he is rich but not extravagant but not arrogant, and the servants in the family are also very casual and low-key, and he treats people and things in a harmonious manner. Li Jing is the number one hero of the dynasty, and no one can match him. But it is rare for him to be so cautious. Often, the more capable people are, the more modest and cautious they will be. Li Jing is a good hero. ”

"Yo, you're amazing!" Qin Mubai said with a smile, "At a young age, a pair of eyes are so old and spicy. ”

"Hehe, are you praising me or hurting me?" Wu Meiniang smiled, "Okay, I didn't do this for you?" I just want to know if Li Jing is a sincere person, and whether he sincerely accepts you as a disciple to pass on your art of war. Now it seems that he is indeed a trustworthy person, so you should learn the art of war from him, and you will be successful in the future! ”

Qin Mubai stared at Wu Meiniang and smiled.

"Why are you staring at me so stupidly and laughing? It's really crazy......" Wu Meiniang pretended to be frightened and dodged to the side.

"You—just you! Don't run, let Lao Tzu take a bite! Qin Mubai jumped up laughing, hugged her into his arms and kissed her a few times without saying anything, and said with a smile, "Such a great virtuous helper, how can you do it if you don't hurt hard?" ”

"I hate it, Deng's disciple!"
