Chapter 31 Conferring the Seal and Seal
The gun is like a poisonous dragon, fast and tricky!
Yu Chi Baoyun's eyes narrowed, and he roared angrily to meet the gun rack. Kadang blocked it.
"Average strength, but that's it!" Yu Chi Baoyun was about to grin, when Qin Mubai's spear suddenly wrapped around his body like a water snake, and stabbed him in the chest and abdomen like a snake.
The genius martial artist Qin Shubao combines Tai Chi boxing and his own marksmanship to create a new Tai Chi Qin gun, which is soft and soft when it is rigid, and it is hard and soft to use its strength to fight, and it is unpredictable!
"Ahh Although there was no gun to stab him without death, this shot hit the acupoint in the middle of the body, and it made him so angry that he could only shrink and roll on his body for a long time.
The remaining three horsemen exclaimed in surprise, and they all retreated, looking at Qin Mubai with a sneer on his face and a long spear in horror.
"My God, Brother Baoyun is the best martial artist among us, and he was picked off the horse without even taking a move......"
Changsun Huan's face was already white, and the knuckles of the fingers holding the spear were white and bone-white, and he inhaled cold air and glared at Qin Mubai angrily.
Qin Mubai met his eyes: "Eldest grandson, are you qualified to have this carved bow?" ”
Cheng Huaibi came over in surprise: "Third Brother Qin, it's good!" I can't imagine that your martial arts are really so strong! ”
The eldest grandson clenched his teeth tightly, his bones cracked, a flash of sharpness flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly waved the spear in his hand and roared loudly: "Brothers, Qin Mubai is so arrogant, let's join forces and attack him!" ”
The other athletes watching the battle looked at each other, and although some were ready to move, few of them really stepped forward.
Qin Mubai laughed loudly: "Eldest grandson, your trick is not effective." Everyone is a competitor to each other, so why should they be used by you? Even if you rise up and attack me and defeat me, the last dragon banner will not be taken by them, and it will definitely only fall into your pocket. In that case, why should they be busy in vain? ”
"You! ......" The eldest grandson was speechless for a while, and could only stare at Qin Mubai angrily, trembling a little with anger.
The other athletes are not idiots, and they know that the current battle for the Dragon Banner is only between Changsun Jian and Qin Mubai. These people, no matter which side they help, are just cannon fodder, and it will not be their turn to take a share of the dragon flag.
Instead of this, it is better to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, maybe in the end, the snipe and the clam can compete for the fisherman's profit.
Therefore, everyone did not move and waited to see what happened.
The eldest grandson shook his arm and waved, and there were zero responders - this was an extremely sensational roar, but no one responded, and his face turned even paler.
The corners of Qin Mubai's mouth twitched, he raised his spear and pointed proudly at the sky, and said loudly: "Dragon Banner, I'm going to decide!" Whoever is not convinced, just come forward and challenge! - Eldest grandson, do you want to give it a try? ”
"I'm ......!" The eldest grandson was openly provoked, and he was immediately angry and couldn't come to the stage. Roar and ride your horse to kill - "Look at the gun!" ”
"Hmph......" Qin Mubai sneered.
Showy but impractical skill.
"Whew-" The moment the white horse passed through the gap, Qin Mubai didn't make a move, but his eyes and hands quickly moved slightly and flashed to the side, easily avoiding the sharp blow of the eldest grandson's riveting full strength.
When Le Ma turned around, Changsun Lian's heart was already half cold, and he was completely dead.
Everyone is an expert, and there is no need to pick out what to say. Eldest Sun Jian knew very well in his heart - this Qin Mubai's martial arts were already ten times better than him!
If it's just that his martial arts are outstanding, it's just a big deal to instigate the crowd to attack and defeat him; However, this person is full of wits and ghosts, and it doesn't seem so realistic to use any strategy against him.
Qin Mubai smiled and bowed his hand to the eldest grandson: "Xie Changsun Gongzi's subordinates are merciful." ”
The eldest grandson was as if he had been nailed to the ground by an iron nail, and he didn't dare to move a single bit. With a smile barely squeezed out of his white face, he replied with a fist hugging Qin Mubai: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Brother Qin's martial arts are indeed extraordinary. ”
Qin Mubai smiled slightly, patted his horse and walked slowly forward, walking towards the dragon flag pole.
The athletes dodged in unison. The circle that was originally formed broke a road for Qin Mubai to walk over.
Qin Mubai rode proudly, and slowly walked past everyone with a horizontal spear. Although some people were extremely unwilling to glare at him or were ready to move, after all, no one dared to attack him again.
Li Shimin under the umbrella of Huang Luo smiled: "The enemy group rode alone, and no one dared to move. Qin Mubai, this stinky boy, is indeed both wise and brave, and he has a bit of his father's domineering attitude back then! ”
"Your Majesty, are you planning to appoint him as a hundred horsemen?" Li Junxian asked.
"Do you think there is anyone more suitable than him?" Li Shimin asked with a smile.
Li Junxian glanced to the side and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the eldest grandson is ......."
"I know. He is my wife and nephew, the son of the auxiliary machine (eldest grandson Wuji)! Li Shimin smiled and said, "But the competition has its established rules. Since I have formulated it, even I myself have to abide by it. If I had to appoint him because the eldest grandson was my wife and nephew, wouldn't today's contest be redundant? If you don't obey the law, how can you convince the public? ”
"Your Majesty's words are very ...... His Majesty has always protected the law and abided by the law, but it was Weichen who was abrupt. ”
In the center of the school field, Qin Mubai bent his bow and shot an arrow, and an arrow hit the flag rope. The red dragon flag fluttering high is falling.
"Good archery!" Many of the Royal Forest Army generals present applauded together. Those candidates all lost their temper, so they could only hold their breath, watching Qin Mubai turn over and dismount, and jump up in front of everyone's eyes to take the dragon flag in their hands.
"Okay—" The three thousand soldiers cheered loudly.
Qin Mubai was also happy in his heart, and let out a long breath. He took the wooden pole from the hand of a general, and put on the dragon flag and held it high.
"Good! It seems that there are already results. Li Shimin stroked his palms and smiled, "Xuan Qin Mubai came forward to listen to the seal!" ”
"Xuan-Qin Mubai listened to the seal in front of the emperor!"
Qin Mubai held the flag and ran to the emperor's palace to pay respects. The emperor's attendants stepped forward to take the flag, and Li Shimin laughed and said: "Qin Mubai, you have successfully captured the dragon flag with all your wisdom and bravery, and I will now give you the title of the envoy of the five products and the hundred horsemen, which is under my direct command." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Qin Mubai saluted and thanked him, and a big stone fell to the ground in his heart.
It's finally a success!
At the same time that Li Shimin personally pardoned the seal, the imperial craftsman next to him was urgently carving the seal. Skillful skills, with a wave of it. Immediately, Qin Mubai received the seal of the hundred cavalry envoys engraved with his name in public, a pair of vermilion Mingguang battle armor given by the emperor himself, an apricot yellow robe dedicated to the captain of the emperor's personal guard, as well as swords, official robes, official boots, etc.
Since he was on duty at the emperor's side, there was no equipment that was not extremely gorgeous and expensive, and it was eye-catching.
"Qin Mubai, you are now a hundred horsemen, and you can come to the inner palace tomorrow to be on duty. From this day forward, you are my personal bodyguard. Six hundred horsemen are under your command. My safety is all up to you. Li Shimin announced in public.
"Wechen must live up to his mission!" Qin Mubai received this batch of things, and stood under the emperor when he stepped back.
"As for the remaining hundred cavalry generals, they will be elected jointly by these 3,000 armor soldiers and the Aiqing who visited today, and then handed over to me to decide." After Li Shimin finished speaking, he smiled meaningfully, "What I want to say is that the athletes who came to run for election today are very good. In the end, no matter who is selected and who is lost, no matter whether the official position is high or low, no one needs to be proud or discouraged. Every one of you, I have it in mind. In the future, you will have your own use. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" All the athletes shouted thanks, and they all set their eyes on Qin Mubai, who was standing beside the emperor, and they inevitably felt envy and jealousy in their hearts.
The eldest grandson and Yu Chi Baoyun were as if they had eaten a green-headed fly, their faces were extremely ugly, and they didn't know how to survive until the end, and when the emperor announced the end of today's election, they left without saying a word.
"Brother Eldest Sun, let's get married to this guy surnamed Qin, this guy is not arrogant!" Yu Chi Baoyun cursed hatefully, touching his chest, still a little painful.
"Hmph......" The eldest grandson snorted coldly and said nothing, glanced at Qin Mubai in the distance, and strode away.
The emperor left Qin Mubai behind to explain some matters about coming to "work" tomorrow, and also let him go back to report the good news to Qin Shubao.
When Qin Mubai came out with a bunch of things, he met Cheng Huaibi who was laughing.
"Congratulations, Third Brother Qin! You are what everyone expects, and the emperor admires you very much! Cheng Huaibi looked greedily at the armor knife that Qin Mubai was holding, and he was about to lick his lips.
"I'm lucky, and if it weren't for your help, how could I succeed?" Qin Mubai smiled, "Let's go, go to my house for a drink!" ”
"Okay! My father also confessed, and asked me to go and visit Uncle Qin. Cheng Huaibi responded heartily and walked side by side with Qin Mubai.
Out of the palace, Cheng Huaibi said in a low voice: "Third Brother Qin, this time you have a grudge with Changsun Jian and Yu Chi Baoyun!" ”
"What are you afraid of?" Qin Mubai picked the corners of his mouth indifferently, "Fair competition, the one with the best skills wins, and I didn't make treachery." They have to act like a villain and hold a grudge against me, and I can't help it. ”
"That's right, if you hadn't come up with a way to use war horses to drive the formation, none of us would have been able to enter the battle circle, let alone compete for any dragon flag." Cheng Huaibi rolled his eyes a few times, shook his head and said, "But the eldest grandson is the son of the eldest grandson Wuji, and the eldest grandson Wuji is now the number one eunuch in the dynasty, this ...... There is also Yu Chi Baoyun, his father Yu Chi Jingde is also one of the emperor's most trusted generals. The eldest grandson Wuji, Wei Chi Jingde, plus Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, were the four great fathers of Zhenguan who were enshrined by the emperor. Our dad doesn't dare to mess with them! ”
Qin Mubai picked the corner of his mouth and smiled slightly, and patted Cheng Huaibi's shoulder: "Brother Cheng, that's the matter of the previous generation, why do we care so much?" I only know that in the future, even if Changsun Jian and Yu Chi Baoyun enter the hundred horses, they will also be my subordinates. If they dare to be naughty, then they are ready to walk around without eating. ”
"Hehe, the third brother is right!" Cheng Huaibi laughed, "I don't know if I have any hope of entering the hundred horses?" ”
"There must be." Qin Mubai said, "You are the only one who is with me to use a war horse to charge the formation, it is impossible for the emperor not to see it." Besides, your martial arts are already good, and with Uncle Cheng's prestige, it's no problem. ”
"Hey, I hope so. It must be refreshing to be able to work with Third Brother Qin! ”
The two boys returned to the Qin Mansion and found that Cheng Zhijie was also here. It seems that he is relatively well-informed, and he has already told Qin Shubao about Qin Mubai's victory.
As soon as Qin Shubao saw Qin Mubai and the others coming in, he laughed loudly: "Okay! My son didn't disgrace the Qin family, okay! ”
Qin Mubai and Cheng Huaibi hurriedly stepped forward and saluted each other.
Cheng Zhijie laughed: "Second Brother Qin, I'm right, this kid of yours is a rare talent, with a little allocation, he can become a big tool!" That's far better than my stupid boy who doesn't fight for it! ”
Cheng Huaibi scratched his head and smiled: "Dad, save me some face......
Qin Mubai said with a smile: "As expected, Brother Huaibi can also become one of the deputy envoys." ”
"It shouldn't be bad." Qin Shubao stroked his beard and smiled, patted Cheng Zhijie's shoulder and said, "Your son is also a good man, Liang'er is right, how can this envoy take his turn." ”
"It's hard to say." Cheng Zhijie pursed his lips, exhaled a few times with his hands on his waist, and said, "The emperor only appointed Mu Bai to be a hundred cavalry envoys, and as for the official positions such as deputy envoys, brigade commanders, and team leaders, they were selected by the three thousand armor soldiers and the officials who visited. I said, how can there be such a thing as 'selection' in this world? The emperor obviously intends to leave some favors and do them to some people! ”
Qin Mubai nodded, and said secretly in his heart: If politics is involved, it is impossible without unspoken rules and black-box operations. The reason why the emperor did not announce in public the determination of other generals was, of course, to give himself a space to maneuver and think.
As for who will be the deputy envoy, who will be the brigade commander and the team leader, it will ultimately be determined by the emperor after considering the family background of the candidates. For example, he will not eliminate the son of the eldest grandson Wuji, or only let Yu Chi Baoyun be a small Jiupin team.
The emperor's thoughts, who else is not like a mirror? Election and election, except for the fact that this position needs to be determined by fair participation, other official positions are ultimately determined by family background and prestige.
Qin Shubao stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "Old Monster Cheng, what are you panicking about." Although I didn't go to the scene to watch the battle, I know that the most outstanding person among the candidates is your family Sanlang, plus the two of Changsun Jian and Wei Chi Baoyun. It would be strange if these three were not elected as deputy envoys. ”
"That's right......" Cheng Zhijie nodded thoughtfully. The eldest grandson, the son of the first minister of Zhenguan, Yu Chi Baoyun and Cheng Huaibi, the famous Jiangmen Huzi, is also good in personal martial arts and skills. According to the unspoken rules, it is indeed possible for the emperor to be so appointed.
"But...... It's hard to say! Cheng Zhijie hesitated, looked at Qin Shubao suspiciously, and said, "Second Brother Qin, do you think the emperor will ...... because of that incident a few years ago?"
"Probably not." Qin Shubao smiled indifferently, "The emperor's heart is not like this. At all times, his eyes are bright. After so many years, I believe he should also forget the past that has nothing to do with us. ”
"I hope so......"
