Chapter 23: Cheng Lao Goblin
Qin Mubai was provoked for the seventh time.
Immediately after that, it landed for the eighth time.
9th, 10th ......
About twenty times later, Qin Mubai fell to the ground and couldn't get up, and the Liu family in the distance also cried in distress, and Cheng Zhijie threw his gun and jumped off the horse with a smile.
He dragged Qin Mubai up from the ground and said with a smile: "Hehe, it's actually pretty good." I have been practicing for more than 30 years, and I have walked through the dead man's pile countless times to practice like this. If you can beat me now, you'll have a ghost. But I see that your qualifications are not bad, and you have improved significantly every time. What's more, I'd rather be beaten to death than admit defeat, this character is very similar to your father! Practice well and have a future! In the future, I will often come to guide you when I have time! ”
None of Qin Mubai's bones were painless, and he grinned and nodded bitterly: "Uncle Xie Cheng...... My nephew will definitely practice martial arts hard in the future! ”
If you don't practice hard, you can't do it! If one day he meets a character who is like Cheng biting gold, and he refuses to let the sailors show mercy, won't he be stabbed with thousands of transparent holes? ! Now I can't toss a May Fourth pistol to defend myself......
"Who the said that the ancients must not be the people of today? …… Let's just say that this is a kung fu and spearmanship martial arts, how many modern people dare to say that the process of fighting is gold? ”
After watching the excitement, Li Tao nodded and smiled: "Second Brother Qin, San Lang is still very good, talented and tenacious, you have to cultivate and train well, maybe there will be more than one generation of famous generals in the Tang Dynasty?" ”
"Hehe, that's all the dog does." Qin Shubao smiled and said.
"The younger brother still has some military affairs to enter the palace to hand over the decree to the emperor, so please leave first. In the future, if you have time, you will come to Second Brother Qin here to beg for a drink. Li Tao arched his hand and was about to say goodbye.
"It's fine." Qin Shubao nodded and said, "Duke Mao's military affairs are busy, and business is important. If you have something to do, you might as well come and sit and catch up. ”
"Little brother farewell." Li Tao arched his hand, said goodbye to Cheng Zhijie, and left first.
"San Lang, go change your clothes, and then come to drink with your Uncle Cheng." As soon as Qin Shubao's words fell, Liu and Qin Shuang'er ran over in distress and pulled Qin Mubai away.
Cheng Zhijie slapped his face with laughter, walked to Qin Shubao's side and said, "Second Brother Qin, this San Lang of your family is better than you back then!" ”
"How so? You also tested it just now, isn't his martial arts so bad? Qin Shubao asked.
"Haha! What year is it? Peace and prosperity! Do you think that we still have to lick blood with a knife and live by being brave? Cheng Zhijie said, "Besides, we have worked horseback all our lives, and now we may not be better off than others." Don't talk about it far away, let's talk about Li Tao, this old boy! People are called a well-behaved and sleek, otherwise how can they be such a big official and command so many soldiers and horses? ”
Qin Shubao smiled slightly: "Then what do you mean?" ”
"This kid of yours is smart and has a good understanding!" Cheng Zhijie said, "I just competed with him in marksmanship, and I could see this kid's heart. His marksmanship is very rusty, and he obviously hasn't fought much with people in normal times, so it can't be very powerful. But I can see that this kid is ghostly, every time he falls, his marksmanship has to be improved by one level, and there are fewer flaws, and his marksmanship must be much older and more secure. If it weren't for smart people, would they progress so fast? This kind of person uses his brain to fight hard with others, unlike us, who rely on strength! ”
"Haha, you old ghost!" Qin Shubao laughed, but he was noncommittal. I thought to myself: Is my own son smart or stupid, and you still need to tell me? Not long ago, Wu Meiniang's matter, Lao Tzu saw him clearly, that kid is a demon!
"Hehe, I may have to stay in Chang'an for some time, don't you mind if I come to your house every day to beg for a drink?" Cheng Zhijie said with a smile, "I like this kid Mu Bai, I will teach him martial arts and marksmanship when I have time!" No matter how good this talent is, no one can dial it! Second brother, your body is inconvenient, just let me come! ”
"Okay!" Qin Shubao agreed without saying a word, and laughed loudly, "Do you still need to divide each other between you and me?" My home is your home, my son is your son, whatever you want, that's fine! ”
"Haha, it's still Second Brother Qin!"
Qin Mubai, who had a blue nose and swollen face, returned to the room, causing Liu and Qin Shuang'er to shed tears for a while, and it took a lot of effort to persuade them. After changing his clothes, he came to the front hall again, Cheng Zhijie was drinking and talking with Qin Shubao, but he didn't dare to drink that kind of strong wine anymore, but changed it to the ordinary Tang light wine.
The three of them drank and chatted for a while, and Cheng Zhijie said goodbye to leave. Before leaving, he staggered and grabbed Qin Mubai: "Boy, send your uncle, I drank too much!" ”
Qin Shubao looked at the figure of the two walking out, and smiled: "Dead old ghost, if you have something to say, you shouldn't say it." ”
Qin Mubai got into the carriage with Cheng Zhijie in his arms and left the Qin Mansion. Cheng Zhijie squirted a burst of wine, his eyes were bright, and he said, "San Lang, have you heard of Yuan Tiangang?" ”
"Is that the person who is called a half-immortal and the most proficient Fang Shi Yuan Tiangang?" Although Qin Mubai didn't know much about history, this person had heard it after all. It's a great name!
The legend about him has gone to the sea in history. It is said that he gave Wu Meiniang in his childhood a face, saying that if this person was born as a man, it would be the emperor's order, and everyone will know the later history. In addition, he also gave many Zhenguan celebrities face-to-face criticism, none of which did not fail to be fulfilled. However, the most famous is probably the historical prediction "*" that he deduced together with Li Chunfeng, and even the Taiping Rebellion a few years later.
These legends are mysterious enough that science can't explain them, but it's just the truth!
"Yes, it's the bull's nose." Cheng Zhijie said, "A few years ago, he met your father. ”
"How?"
Cheng Zhijie's thick eyebrows twisted into a ball, and said: "At that time, he said that your father was brave and invincible all his life, and he did his best to win the glory of the man's blood. But he was old and had no life to enjoy, half paralyzed and half disabled, and died in his fifties. ”
"Fifty?" Qin Mubai was stunned for a moment, "Isn't that next year?" ”
"It's next year, and even the years, months and hours have been calculated." Cheng Zhijie sighed heavily and said, "The seventeenth day of the first month, the time of the child." ”
Qin Mubai was stunned: Isn't that just over a month? …… To believe, or not to believe?
"Believe it or not. To be honest, I don't want to believe it, but that old monster Yuan's face to face has never been missed. Cheng Zhijie sighed heavily and said, "You should train him well!" I specially invited Li Tao to visit him today, and I also wanted to spend more time with him before his death. Your father doesn't know about it, so don't tell him. ”
"I see......" Qin Mubai nodded, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart.
"There's one more thing I'm going to tell you." Cheng Zhijie said, "You should practice martial arts well!" Hearing the news from the palace, the emperor was ready to set up a pro-xun guard, which was specially responsible for guarding the forbidden palace and directly obeyed the emperor's orders. Personnel, mainly from the meritorious heroes and courtiers' sons and nephews, select the most outstanding martial arts talents. This is a rare opportunity, and it is far better to be able to be an errand by the emperor's side than if you are now in the Wu Palace. Moreover, it is not easy to mix in the prince's mansion now, the clouds and waves are treacherous, and the undercurrents are surging, and it is too dangerous for several princes to compete openly and secretly. That Li Ke is even more of a sharp and eventful master, if you can avoid it, avoid it! ”
"Thank you, Uncle Cheng!" Qin Mubai bowed his hands, and he was also grateful in his heart - no wonder he borrowed wine to pretend to be drunk today to try my martial arts, it turned out that he intended to guide me to change jobs and go to the emperor's side on an errand!
This Cheng Biting Jin is really a wise and foolish old goblin!
"No thanks. My father and I are blood brothers, closer than brothers. You are his son, and that is also my Lao Cheng's son. Cheng Zhijie grinned and patted Qin Mubai's shoulder, "During this time, I will come to instruct you on marksmanship whenever I have time." In fact, your father's marksmanship is unparalleled in the world, but unfortunately his legs and feet are inconvenient now, so I have to go beyond the bounds. Practicing marksmanship well is not expected to count how many enemies you will actually kill on the battlefield in the future, it is all about coping with the emperor's selection of troops in the near future, do you understand? ”
"Nephew understood! Uncle Cheng's ear mentions that he cares so much, and his nephew feels heartfelt! Qin Mubai solemnly bowed his hand and thanked him.
When Qin Mubai returned home, he ran into a family member head-on, and it was rumored that Qin Shubao asked him to go directly to the backyard polo field after he came back.
What are you doing there?
Qin Mubai came to the backyard suspiciously, and saw Qin Shubao standing in the courtyard with one hand and cutting his back, not on crutches, but staring with a gun.
The waist is straight, and the whole person is as upright as a gun!
"Dad, what are you ......" Qin Mubai walked over in surprise and asked.
Qin Shubao is like this now, his face is flushed and his face is radiant, how can he not look like a person who has only one month left to live when the oil is exhausted!
"I have studied the set of "Tai Chi" for my father for a long time, and I have practiced in the room for more than a month, and I am quite virtuous." Qin Shubao stroked his long beard and said sonorously, "I think that this set of boxing techniques does have many similarities with the technique of the horse gun and stick, which is quite exquisite. I'm trying to fuse it with the Qin family's marksmanship and create a new set of horse marksmanship - practice it now, you can watch from the side! ”
"What?" Qin Mubai couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Dad, you're not in good health, your legs and feet are inconvenient, so don't you want it?" ”
"Nonsense!" Qin Shubao's eyebrows sank, and his eyes shone, "Do you think that for my father now, is there any inconvenience?" Hum! Although it is no longer as brave as it was back then, but the prancing horse crosses the spear and fights your Uncle Cheng, and the victory or defeat may be difficult to distinguish for a while! You stand here and watch well! ”
After that, Qin Shubao shook his robe, personally led a horse and turned over neatly.
"See clearly!"
With a heavy shout, Qin Shubao galloped away.
People are like electricity, horses are like rainbows, divine soldiers descend from the sky, and marksmanship is like gods!
Qin Mubai was completely stunned.
