With a cup of belly, Qin Mubai also felt a little uncomfortable, but he immediately poured another glass of wine and got up and walked in front of Li Tao, and bowed: "Uncle Li, the juniors also toast you." ”

"Good. But I don't have a lot of your Uncle Cheng, so let's just have a drink. Li Tao raised his wine glass with a smile on his face and took a casual sip. Qin Mubai leaned his neck and drank to the sky, his face turned red, and said, "Uncle can do whatever he wants, but the younger generation has to do it first as respect." ”

"Good boy! Second Brother Qin, this San Lang of yours is a good man! Li Tao stroked his slender beard, looked at Qin Mubai with a smile, and nodded in approval.

"The dog is not a weapon, which makes the two brothers laugh." Qin Shubao smiled comfortably and raised his glass, "Two brothers, I respect you again, let's do it!" ”

Three old Wagang friends who have known each other for decades raised their glasses and drank a glass with laughter.

Cheng Zhijie was a little confused after drinking these two large cups in a row, shaking his head, his face was as red as a monkey's buttocks, and his eyes were a little straight.

"What the fuck is this...... It only took two cups to make me dizzy! ”

provoked everyone to laugh again. The atmosphere of the banquet became relaxed and casual and intense and pleasant.

After three rounds of wine, everyone, including Qin Mubai, was a little drunk. It can be seen that Qin Shubao's friendship with Cheng Zhijie and Li Tao is extraordinary. The three of them got acquainted as early as twenty or thirty years ago, and they have been fighting side by side since Wagangzhai lived and died together, and their friendship was extraordinary.

Especially Cheng Zhijie, he treats Qin Shubao like a brother. The two once left Wagang together and went to Wang Shichong, and at the same time served Li Shimin, becoming the fierce general of the Xuanjia Cavalry, the strongest unit under Li Shimin, and they have been bloodied side by side for more than ten years. After Li Shimin's Xuanwumen Rebellion succeeded to the throne, the two served as the generals of the left and right Longwuwei respectively, and were responsible for leading the Imperial City Praetorian Guard to impeach the Beijing Division.

It can be said that since they were teenagers, the two have always shared glory and disgrace in life and death, and the relationship between them is even far greater than that of brothers.

"Two good brothers have been serving as foreign officials and leading troops all year round, how can they meet and return to Chang'an together, and they still have time to come to see me, an old waste?" After the wine was half-drunk, Qin Shubao asked the two.

Cheng Zhijie took over and said, "Second brother, you still don't know? Last year, Li Jing and others led troops to pacify Tuyuhun and won a great victory. Not long ago, Wang Shi returned to the court. Seeing that the Chinese New Year was approaching, the emperor ordered a banquet in the palace to celebrate the achievements of Li Jing and others, and transferred us generals who were officials outside the country back! ”

"Oh, that's right." Qin Shubao nodded quietly, but his eyes suddenly dimmed a little.

Even the generals who were released from outside were called back, but no one came to invite me Qin Qiong!

Li Tao seemed to have noticed this trace of Qin Shubao's emotional fluctuations, and said with a slight smile: "Second brother, in fact, the younger brother came today, one is to visit the second brother to talk about the past, and the other is to invite you to the banquet when the time comes." His Majesty the Emperor said that if such a grand event was missing Second Brother Qin, it would be much less flavorful. Because no one can forget that Second Brother Qin was the first fierce general of the Qin Palace, and the famous iron-blooded god of war in my Tang Dynasty! ”

"Haha, Gong Mao, you have been an official in the past few years, and you have really become more and more proficient at talking!" Qin Shubao laughed and said, "Okay, thank you so much, foolish brother, come, let's have another drink!" ”

When Qin Mubai heard this conversation, he couldn't help but think in his heart: Cheng Zhijie is straightforward and fast-talking, and Li Maogong is careful and tactful...... In officialdom, it is often people who are sleek and delicious to eat.

Li Tao is now the governor of the state and is in charge of almost all the power of the soldiers and horses in the Tang Shandong (not the current "Shandong Province", but the vast area east of the Kunshan Mountain), and almost a quarter of the army in the Tang Dynasty is in his hands, which can be said to be an optimus pillar of the entire dynasty, supporting half of the east and north, and impeaching all the Yidi tribes in the north to the point of not daring to move half a point.

In contrast, Cheng Zhijie was just an ordinary distant governor of the state, although he was named General Zuo Wuwei, the Imperial Forest Army of the Imperial Palace had long been under his command.

Li Tao's ability may be stronger than Cheng Zhijie, but the phrase "character determines success or failure" may not be an exaggeration in officialdom.

Cheng Zhijie drank a lot of wine, his eyes were a little red, and he slapped Qin Mubai on the shoulder with the smell of wine, and said, "San Lang, you look so similar to your father, have you learned his skills?" ”

"Uncle Cheng refers to martial arts?"

"Nonsense!" Cheng Zhijie said loudly, "Is it difficult to recite poetry to brag and pat horses?" Your father and I are both serious martial artists, except for leading troops to fight on the battlefield, nothing else! ”

In other words, there is a sarcasm of Li Tao's exquisite, sleek and hypocritical.

Li Tao just smiled disapprerovitly, Qin Shubao waved his hand at him gently, and he had to shake his head and smile bitterly: "Ignore him." This old donkey ghost gave birth to such a rotten mouth that can't spit out ivory. ”

"Ignore them, tell me, how are your martial arts?" Cheng Zhijie was holding Qin Mubai and didn't let go.

"My nephew is not talented, and he hasn't learned one-ten-thousandth of his father's martial arts, which is half a tune." Qin Mubai replied with a smile.

"How's that going to work?" Cheng Zhijie roared loudly, slapped Qin Mubai on the shoulder and wanted to lift him up, "Go, I'll give you a few moves!" This Qin Lao Er, who doesn't teach his own son all the skills, is it possible to wait to be brought into the coffin? Let's go, I'll teach you a few hands! ”

"Brother Cheng, we're here to visit Second Brother Qin today to catch up on the old days, so don't you make any extraneous branches, right?" Li Tao persuaded loudly.

"Don't worry about it! My second brother, I will teach your son a few kung fu, you won't feel distressed, right? Cheng Zhijie didn't say a word, he jumped up first, and pulled Qin Mubai to leave.

Qin Shubao shook his head helplessly and smiled: "Since biting gold is so interested, then let's come together to watch and watch!" ”

Cheng Zhijie's original name was Cheng Yanjin, but it was later renamed "Cheng Zhijie", and the word is Zhen. Now except for Qin Shubao, it is estimated that no one will call him so affectionately the old name of "biting gold".

"That's right, haha!" Cheng Zhijie laughed, "I think when we were young in Wagang, when was it not a real sword competition, sweating profusely and even bleeding for a long time?" As an iron-boned man, he should have a lot of courage and blood-virtuous nephew, follow me! ”

After that, Cheng Zhijie grabbed Qin Mubai's wrist with a big hand like a vice, and dragged him towards the backyard polo field.

Qin Mubai smiled helplessly, and had no choice but to let him. A good man doesn't fight with a drunk, not to mention that he is still a friend of his father, an elder.

Qin Shubao and Li Tao also followed one after another, and also attracted Liu, Qin Shuang'er and some family members to watch. The Tang Dynasty has become a martial arts trend, and martial arts competitions are popular with everyone, so it is naturally a normal thing.

Cheng Zhijie was full of interest, personally ran to the stable and picked out two good horses, picked up an eight-foot horse lance by himself, and asked Qin Mubai: "Boy, what kind of weapon do you use?" ”

"My father taught me marksmanship."

"Well, good marksmanship." Cheng Zhijie said, "Back then, Second Brother Qin's pair of maces, a pair of fists, and a gun killed the heroes of the world. Since you are learning marksmanship, it is just right, I have played a horse lance all my life, and I will teach you a few hands today! Get on the horse for Lao Tzu! ”

Qin Mubai and Li Tao stood not far away and laughed together. Li Tao said: "This old ghost Cheng also bullied the younger generation." Nian Dao Yue Stick has been a gun for a lifetime, and his horse lance has been playing for thirty years, where is Mu Baixian's nephew his opponent? Don't say that it is Mu Baixian's nephew, looking at the world, I am afraid that only a few people such as Second Brother Qin, you and Wei Chi Jingde are his opponents. ”

"I'm an old man, it's hard to move, and I don't say anything about getting on the horse and fighting." Qin Shubao stroked his long hair and smiled, "But biting gold is a good intention." My son is like his own son in his eyes. This guy is coarse and detailed, and doing things often seems absurd and profound. The old man wanted to see what he meant today. ”

"Hehe, we'll see. The younger brother is also very curious about Ling Lang's martial arts. Li Tao nodded and smiled, already staring at the school field.

Qin Mubai picked up a gun and got on the horse, holding the gun and arching his hand: "Uncle Cheng, the sword has no eyes, how about we remove the gun head and use the cloth head to dip it in lime?" ”

"Fuck it, fart!" Cheng Zhijie said loudly, "On the battlefield, will the enemy be so polite to you?" Virtuous nephew, you have memorized it for Lao Tzu. When you go to the battlefield, don't put any bullshit in your head - just remember that there is your enemy in front of you, and if you don't kill him, he will kill you. Only in this way can you survive. I have been fighting with your father for decades, and I don't know how many people died under our guns, and how many brothers and friends died in front of us, and finally understood this truth - do you remember? ”

"Nephew understood!" Qin Mubai responded loudly.

"Alright. Now use all your moves against me! Beat me to death! Cheng Zhijie shouted loudly.

Cheng Zhijie's voice was like a huge thunder, and there was a faint murderous aura bursting out, which frightened the Liu, Qin Shuang'er, and the mansions in the distance. Qin Shubao and Li Tao were indifferent, with smiles on their faces.

Qin Mubai gritted his teeth and thought: Some wild histories and novels say that Cheng Biting Jin is a plate axe, it seems that rumors are just rumors after all, and they can't be true. If it were to be an archeryman, I would probably not lose to any of them; This is a kung fu and spearmanship...... I'm afraid I'm going to lose far away. Cheng Zhijie has been mixed up on the horse for half his life, and his spear skills are definitely in the realm of perfection, so I will do my best to fight with him, and I will be regarded as a long insight!

"Uncle Cheng, the juniors have offended!"

As soon as his eyebrows sank, his tongue bloomed with spring thunder, Qin Mubai shouted angrily and stepped forward, and a spear in his hand flew forward like a letter of poisonous tongue, straight between Cheng Zhijie's chest and abdomen.

Cheng Zhijie seemed to be half drunk and half awake, sitting on the horse without moving, seeing Qin Mubai's fierce and domineering stabbing at him, but he smiled, put the gun with one hand and one elbow, and took out Qin Mubai's gun with a "Kadang" sound!

The moment Pegasus passed through the gap, Qin Mubai's gun power was overhead, his marksmanship suddenly dispersed, and the empty door around him was wide open, and Cheng Zhijie's gun was like a cold water snake, quickly and trickily attacking him from behind!

It was this moment of lightning and flint that Qin Mubai's heart suddenly cooled: It's not good!

Before he could react, he had already been shot in the back.

Hurt!

"Bang!" With a bang, the power of a shot was irresistible, and it actually slapped Qin Mubai off his horse!

"Plop" fell to the ground, that is called a miserable!

Fortunately, the horse's speed is not very fast, Cheng Zhijie obviously has reservations and does not do his best, although Qin Mubai is a little embarrassed, the injury is not very serious.

Liu Shi and Qin Shuang'er in the distance screamed in fright and were about to run over. Qin Shubao scolded: "What are you doing? Retire! ”

"Yes......" Liu and Qin Shuang'er met Qin Shubao's sharp eyes, and they didn't dare to make a mistake, so they had to watch Qin Mubai slowly get up from a distance, and they were so anxious that they stomped their feet.

"Haha, the stinky boy hasn't fought against anyone on a horse yet, has he? No, no, if this is on the battlefield, you already have a transparent hole in your body! Your marksmanship is too scattered and inexperienced, and you don't have any practicality, so you only deserve to coax the big girl. went into battle, and he died before he could go half a round. Cheng Zhijie condescendingly pointed his gun at Qin Mubai, and roared aggressively, "Get on the horse, let's fight again." I'll teach you a few practical ones! ”

Qin Mubai patted the dirt on his hands, gritted his teeth and nodded heavily, and got on the horse again with a gun.

Li Tao laughed: "This old ghost Cheng really has a bit of kung fu. Back then, he and you were called the two tigers and lions of the Qin Palace, and it seems that he is indeed worthy of his reputation! ”

"Heh, Lao Cheng's kung fu has never been bad, and even when I was in my prime, I may not be sure that I will be able to beat him." Qin Shubao said, "Moreover, Lao Cheng has a temperament, when he is strong, he will be stronger and more crazy. Do you still remember when he and Pei Xingyan fought against Wang Shichong together? ”

"Of course I do." Li Tao said, "He and Pei Xingyan went to rescue Shan Xiongxin, but they were surrounded by Wang Shichong. Pei Xingyan fell off his horse with an arrow, and Cheng Laogui single-handedly entered the encirclement to rescue him, and fought all the way through the crowd to save him. At that time, Cheng Lao Ghost was shot in the thigh and was pierced, he immediately pulled out his knife to cut off the gun, and also killed the person who stabbed him, and then fought extremely fiercely, so that the soldiers who surrounded him were so frightened that they didn't dare to come to chase him. Only then did he take the injured Pei Xingyan and escape back with a bloody path. ”

"Hehe, yes!" Qin Shubao sighed and said, "After that battle, I really admired him. Not to mention the courage of martial arts, in such a dangerous situation, he would rather die together than abandon his brother to flee for his life. This righteousness is admirable. ”

"Hehe, if you want to say righteousness, who would dare to boast after Second Brother Qin?" Li Tao laughed.

On the other side, Qin Mubai was already dismounted by Cheng Zhijie for the sixth time, and he fell with his teeth bared, and he was so embarrassed by the dirt.

"No, no, come again!" Cheng Zhijie was still yelling, "Qin Sanlang, who taught you this ghost marksmanship?" It sucks! With such a skill of yours, a hundred of them together are not the opponents of you, me and your father! If the tiger father has no dog, you are not ashamed? ”

Qin Mubai hated itchy, and in annoyance, he climbed on the horse again and fought with Cheng Zhijie.
