Chapter 79: It's worth the trip
The first time Qin Mubai came out to hunt, it was really an eye-opener. This is much more enjoyable than traveling in the 21st century, and it seems that living in ancient times is not necessarily a bad thing. For example, in the 21st century, if you dare to rush to a "nature reserve" to slaughter a few rare animals if you have nothing to do, it will be a matter of squatting or even life.
Not in Datang.
Just like today, Qin Mubai and his father were very interested, and the father and son shot down more than a dozen prey, including black muntjac, sika deer, and even an adult clouded leopard!
When he saw the clouded leopard, Qin Mubai, who had always been bold, instinctively felt fear, after all, this kind of beast he had hardly touched in his previous life. Unexpectedly, Qin Shubao's reaction when he saw the clouded leopard was quite excited, he took those family members, led the hounds, and rushed forward desperately. At first, the clouded leopard also fought back arrogantly, but then at the beginning, he was shot in the eye by Qin Shubao with an arrow, and fled to the tree in a hurry.
Qin Shubao was like going to the battlefield at this time, as if the invincible general who was the first to be invincible had returned. He shouted loudly and told Qin Mubai to step forward and shoot the clouded leopard!
Qin Mubai was like an initiation, and he fired six arrows in a row with his bow, and finally shot the clouded leopard to death and fell down the tree.
This is the most exciting and thrilling scene of the day. Qin Mubai deeply felt that when the book is used, he hated less, this hunting is the same thing as fighting, no experience, no matter how much he talks on paper, it is useless. Before he could go into battle, he was terrified when he encountered a beast. It seems that he is still the heart of a person in the 21st century, growing up in a safe and harmonious environment, lacking the sense of life and death. If you want to fully integrate the life of today's Tang Dynasty, you have to slowly adapt to this ubiquitous "law of the jungle". This is true in life, in officialdom, and even more so on the battlefield.
"San Lang, it seems that taking you out to hunt is really the right decision." Qin Shubao obviously knew what Qin Mubai was thinking, he calmly patted Qin Mubai's shoulder, "You are now a general, and you will panic and hesitate when you see fierce beasts and blood, this is not a good phenomenon." If someone really fights with your life one day, you will definitely forget all your martial arts skills in your mind. You have to practice harder! No matter how hard and harsh the training is, it can't compare to the real life-and-death struggle that can refine people, and this time you must have a deep experience. ”
"Father is very ......" Qin Mubai took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, and said, "It seems that the child is still too young and needs to go through more training." Originally, with my current bow and horse martial arts, no matter what kind of beast I was dealing with, it would not be a problem. Unexpectedly, at this time, I was not even as good as a hound. When the leopard appeared in my sight for the first time, my heartbeat suddenly accelerated, my breathing became a little disordered, and my mind was a little blank. If it hadn't been for the father and the rest of the family who had started attacking it, the child would have slipped away...... What a shame! ”
"Don't be presumptuous, there's no shame in that." Qin Shubao said with a smile, "It's very normal to encounter this situation for the first time. You're already pretty good, many of you go to battle for the first time or come out hunting and encounter a beast, and you will even pee your pants and faint on the spot. Don't underestimate these family members, most of them are veterans who followed their father to fight on the battlefield for the rest of their lives. Not to mention a clouded leopard, even if you know that there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of you, you will pass by without blinking. Your martial arts skills are better than any of them, but your mind and experience are far inferior to theirs. Therefore, as a general, although martial arts and the art of war are capital, the tempering of the mind is actually very important. If you want to survive and win on the battlefield of blood and fire, you must be calm, composed, intelligent and brave than others. A coward with a strong martial arts and a cowardly heart, when he sees a fierce farmer who doesn't know martial arts, it is also possible to be stoned to death with a hoe. ”
"Thank you, father, today's hunting trip is really worth the trip, the child has heard and seen the personal experience, and has been deeply taught by his father, it is really beneficial!" Qin Mubai said with great emotion.
"It is better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles." Qin Shubao smiled and said, "There is actually something in common between the military and the study of literature. Only with more practice and more practice will there be insight. My father has been thinking about when I will have the opportunity to fight again, and I must bring you with me at that time. Let you see the real army and war with your own eyes, so that you can have a qualitative transformation and really grow. ”
Qin Mubai shook his head regretfully: "It's a pity." Although the child has been paying close attention to the military movements in the court, he has not found any clues. For example, today is Pingguan River Ningding, and Yidi has not come to offend Datang around, and Datang does not seem to have any signs of using troops. ”
"There's no rush. I've been waiting for my father for a few years, do you still care about this time? It's not a bad thing to take advantage of this time to recover your body. Qin Shubao stroked his beard, and his face showed the arrogant posture that he only had in the field back then, and said with a faint smile, "If you are a big husband, you will eventually have a place to use it when you have a force." Mu Bai, you encourage your father. ”
"Yes, Father!"
That night, more than a dozen people from the Qin family all slept in the mountains and forests. Pull up the tent and sprinkle the insect repellent powder, raise the bonfire to roast the prey, and then bring out the wine and various snacks, it is really a wild carnival.
Qin Mubai has been in Datang for so long, and he has never been so happy and relaxed as he is today. This is much more interesting than any travel and adventure in the previous life, and it is rare to have family company with it. The strong family affection and mellow wine are really intoxicating.
Little sister Shuang'er took a roasted pheasant and sent it to Qin Mubai, and said with a grin: "Third brother, try my barbecue skills." ”
Qin Mubai's face couldn't help twitching: Shouldn't it be as shocking as cooking? Well, on the surface it looks pretty good, at least not burnt.
So I gave it a try...... Fortunately, it is bearable. Not as horrible as the dishes she makes.
"Third brother, King Wu sent someone to call you today, what's the matter?" Frost asked in a whisper.
"I knew you wouldn't come to the third brother for love." Qin Mubai smiled, "How about it, do you like the tea he gave you?" ”
"I like it...... However, we don't have such a complete and easy-to-use tea set as Wu Wangfu at home, so I am reluctant to make this good tea to drink. Frost's face flushed a little and whispered.
Qin Mubai couldn't help laughing: "Little sister, are you hinting at ...... Want the third brother to take you to his house to sit? ”
"No...... Hey! Frost smiled embarrassedly, and her face flushed even more.
"I'm afraid not this time." Qin Mubai said with regret on his face. In fact, he felt quite cruel in his heart. Because now Princess Gaoyang is with Li Ke, and maybe now she is looking for herself to "seek revenge", where is it convenient to take her sister to King Wu's mansion together.
"What's wrong? I haven't had him in over a year. I wondered, has he forgotten what I look like? Shuang'er looked at Qin Mubai in disappointment and asked cautiously.
Qin Mubai was silent for a moment and said, "That's okay, I want to find a way." Before I leave home, I will try to let you see each other. Well, but not in the Wu Palace, nor in our own home. Somewhere else! ”
"Good!" Shuang'er's face finally showed a happy look.
At this moment, in the palace of King Wu.
Princess Gaoyang was drunk with the first wine in the world, and she was simply carried back. Although she had been in contact with the spirit of "Qin Immortal Imperial Wine" for a long time, she didn't know much about it after all, and she was angry in her heart, so she drank two full cups carelessly. If this is a strong man, he should almost get drunk.
So, at this moment, Princess Gaoyang was very embarrassed in bed, and several maids were hurriedly waiting. At the same time, Princess Gao Yang was still scolding Qin Mubai loudly. What thieves, military academies, stinky men, untrustworthy villains, and even Dengzi, floating waves, and negative hearts have all been scolded.
Li Ke listened to it both funny and frightened: as the saying goes, spit out the truth after drinking...... Qin Mubai's kid, what is the "level" of development with me, the living treasure sister, just a happy appointment, which makes her so sad and angry? If the two of them continue to develop like this, they really don't know what will happen. Tie the knot? It seems unlikely. Qin Mubai didn't seem to like Gao Yang very much, otherwise with his character, how could he avoid her so much, he didn't treat Wu Meiniang like this at the beginning. I don't know if it's because of the scruples of identity and the constraints of duty, so I show such an attitude, and if I have the opportunity, I have to ask him clearly.
After thinking about it for a while, Li Ke found Yin Yang and told him that after dawn, he would send people to the Qin Mansion a few more times to see if the people of the Qin family had come back from hunting. As soon as there is news, report it immediately. By the way, I want to tell Qin Mubai in detail about Princess Gaoyang's situation yesterday, so that he can have a good idea of what to do and think of a "coping" strategy.
On the same day, it was not until the evening that Qin Mubai's family returned from the mountains and forests where they were hunting. The family was beaming with joy and happiness, but the Qin Mansion had not been so happy as today for a long time. When the neighbors saw it, they thought they were going to marry their daughters-in-law!
When he was about to enter the Qin Mansion, Qin Mubai saw a familiar figure from a distance, a sergeant from the Wu Palace, his own former subordinate. The two exchanged a look, and the pawn also understood that he would bump into him without recklessness. Qin Mubai deliberately entered the mansion one step later than his father and them, talked with the pawn for a few words, and understood everything that happened yesterday.
At this time, Qin Mubai couldn't help but beat a little drum in his heart: he never thought that Princess Gaoyang's reaction would be so big! Isn't she just going to come out to play, I'm already going to take her out and let her brother be a guide to play, this can't work, I have to be someone in Qin to be the "three companions" in person.
The little devil reacted so strongly yesterday, it was indeed very hurt and angry, then I can't avoid her today, go to King Wu's mansion, I have to find a way to make her angry. Otherwise, with her character, it is very likely that the teacher will make trouble in my house.
After thinking about it for a while, Qin Mubai smiled secretly: Okay, just settle her like this!
