Chapter 10, the voice of the tiger's heart

"Hahaha! Okay, okay, Qin Mou is already hungry all the way, not to mention you tiger warriors who can eat on horseback, come on, come on, you guys hurry up and sit down in turn, and let go of your belly to eat a refreshing meal and then mention the matter of such fine wine, then Qin and San Lang will definitely drink three cups with the strong men! ”

"Whoa! Obey the orders of Duke Qin! ”

After a rapid sound of lightness, those soldiers who had been waiting impatiently for a long time had already knelt behind the food table according to the rules of the scholars' banquet, and waited for Qin Su and Qin Youcheng to drink and feast happily.

After the sound of hula, there were still three people left in the hall on the third floor who had not been seated, and they were still standing there in an orderly manner, corresponding to the three children who were whispering at the staircase.

Seeing this scene, Qin Su, who was about to pull San Lang Qin Xiao back to the seat, immediately stopped.

He looked at the three men who were still standing in front of the hall, and said with a joke to Qin Xiao beside him: "San Lang? Why are there still three people who are unwilling to obey Qin's order to enter the table and eat? Do they not know whether they are hungry or not? ”

The white-clothed Saburo looked at the three men standing in front of the hall with a look of appreciation, and replied to his eldest brother casually in a joking tone.

"Eldest brother, seeing such a rare delicacy, don't say that it is someone else, even the third brother can't help but want to feast on it happily, but there are these people who don't know whether they are hungry or not, and they refuse to obey your orders, and the third brother really can't guess what he is thinking at this moment? If according to the opinion of the third brother, why not ask the eldest brother to be promoted to the court to ask about the case, as long as the eldest brother does not hesitate to use the punishment to serve, he is afraid that he will not give in? ”

"Hahaha! Sure enough, it is a white-clothed and white-faced Qin Saburo with a black heart and a black belly, good! The eldest brother just acted according to Saburo's clever plan. ”

When the words landed, Qin Su immediately changed his solemn and solemn expression, stared at the people standing in front of the hall with blazing eyes, and shouted in a sharp tone: "Lu Wu, Chen Qi!" Qin came to ask you, you and the two of you have openly refused to obey Qin's order just now on the hill, and now all the strong men have obeyed the order to enter the table, and you are still standing up here, do you still want to resist Qin's order again? ”

Lu Wu and Chen Qi are the border people of the Tang Empire who have lived outside the border for a long time under the rule of the Dadu Protectorate, because of the war on the border for many years, they have been lonely since childhood, the two of them walked together and depended on each other to make a living, at the age of sixteen, they devoted themselves to the Shuofang border army, with more than eight years of military career, the bow and horse are skillful in combat and bravery, and they have worked hard to accumulate military merits, which has only received the official position of the left and right Sige of the Shuofang army under the eight products.

These two low-ranking officers are both honest and simple fighting soldiers, and they live all day long in the military life of some longitudinal horses, holding hammers, bending bows, and ringing, eating meat, bowls, drinking, and scolding like a flat shoulder, where have I seen the charm and fun between civil officials and scholars, and where do I know how to use my brain to guess the meaning of the thoughts of the officials and nobles, and now I have listened to the words between Qin Su and Qin Xiao brothers like a joke, coupled with Qin Su and Qin Youcheng's questioning words, In a panic, the two officers had unconsciously regarded the two brothers' joking words as a warning that Qin Su and Qin Youcheng were about to get angry and severely reprimanded them.

The anxious Lu Wu and Chen Qi looked at each other, and couldn't help but shout in their hearts, so they had no choice but to hug their fists again and salute the first, and after a moment of silence, Lu Wu, who was a little more articulate, blushed and replied: "Qin Gong Mingjian, a certain kind of words are indeed guilty of Qin Gong, but this refusal to take such a thing is absolutely unacceptable!" ”

"Although the two of them are not the subordinates of the Duke of Qin, and the military brothers accompanying them are not the subordinates to whom the two of them belong, they do not have the responsibility of commanding each other, but they and Chen Qi received errands from Yin Sun Gong and Guo Yi Du Lieutenant Qi Du of Taiyuan Mansion, and they naturally have the important responsibility of guarding Qin Gong and his dependents all the way."

When Lu Wu's words of duty were said here, those simple soldiers who had already entered the table and knelt behind the table, seeing that Qin Su Qin Youcheng and the white-clothed Qin Saburo had not yet entered the table, they were all nervous and ashamed, and the shrewd ones didn't even care about wearing the cowhide boots placed on the side of the case, and hurriedly picked up their robes and strode behind the two military leaders, clasping their fists and saluting to show their sins.

Some of the people who were still kneeling behind the dining table in a daze also followed under the reminder of their friend Paoze, and for a while, the hall on the third floor of the restaurant was crowded with people, and there was an endless stream of servants.

Lu Wu, who had a clearer thinking, did not pay attention to the accusations of ramming, and continued to report the reason for the matter to Qin Su and Qin Youcheng.

"Although the place where the Risheng Restaurant is located has been adjacent to the southern city gate of Luoyang, the eastern capital, but has not arrived at the mansion of the Duke of Qin safely for a day, the two have not completed their duties, and they have to hand over the errand, and when the Duke of Qin and his wife arrived at the ancient city market town, they had heard the leader of the Wuhou who was in charge mention the sloppy Taoist priest and the girl, and these strange things made a certain and Chen Qi always feel very uneasy in their hearts, and after a little discussion, the two of them still thought that the duty of guarding the Duke of Qin was more important, so they did not want to enter the banquet at this time. I also hope that the rude behavior of Qin Gongyuan You and the others will be rude, and please sit down with San Lang until you stay in your mansion in the eastern capital and the other two are willing to accept the arbitrary punishment of Qin Gong. ”

Qin Su listened to Lu Wu's clear statement quietly, looked at the group of soldiers who went and returned and saluted with a look of shame, and quietly glanced at San Lang who was smiling at the corner of his mouth, and suddenly burst out laughing.

"Hahaha! What a duty, I don't dare to do it! You and Chen Qi still have to accept Qin's arbitrary punishment? Okay, Qin Mou came to ask you and the other two, which of the martial arts skills you are waiting for is stronger or weaker than my brother Baiyi Saburo? ”

Hearing that Qin Gong suddenly laughed and asked like this, Lu Wu and Chen Qi were a little surprised, these two low-ranking officers glanced at each other again, and after being silent for a moment, Lu Wu replied angrily: "Back to Qin Gong, San Lang's fist skills, swordsmanship, legs, and feet are quite good, don't say that they are fighting alone with a certain person, even if a certain brother in the street market rushes up, he is not the opponent of the white-clothed Saburo, but if he is in the front line of the two armies, he fights each other with military formation techniques, It is really unknown which is stronger or weaker between a certain and San Lang. ”

Qin Su, whose eyes were also full of admiration, looked at his third brother Qin Xiao leisurely with his three locks of long beard.

"Hahaha! The two strong men answered like this, and it was really wonderful! San Lang, do you think the two of them answered accurately? ”

Saburo looked at his eldest brother, and a strange smile appeared on his young and handsome face.

"Since the eldest brother already knows this, why do you have to ask the third brother like this again? Could it be that the eldest brother wants San Lang to expose his shortcomings in front of all the brothers? Hahaha......"

"Big brother, Lu Wu and Chen Qi's two brothers have praised the third brother's martial arts skills in such a statement, thinking that the kung fu practiced by San Lang is just a general martial arts skill of self-cultivation and fitness, if it is about fighting alone or something, the third brother is naturally not afraid of any of them here, but if the military battle is like what these two brothers said, don't say that it is in the military formation of thousands of troops, but he and other dozen sergeants form a formation, according to their fierce and skilled military style, Coupled with the powerful military crossbow arrows, the third brother is afraid that he will retreat and flee before the fight! ”

Qin Su stroked his long beard and nodded, smiling.

"Lu Wu, Chen Qi, the two of you were originally brave men in the army, why don't you directly inform Yu Qin of the true situation like San Lang, why do you need to go to great lengths to use the Spring and Autumn penmanship used by such sour and rotten literati to please Qin and San Lang, you two need to remember not to do this again in the future, such actions will only lose the true character of a heroic man of my Tang Dynasty!"

"Whoa! Lu Wu (Chen Qi) obeys the teachings of Qin Gong! ”

After saying this, Qin Su and Qin Youcheng's kind and calm eyes passed over Lu Wu and Chen Qi, and fell on those military men who knelt down and sat down at the table and stood here again to accuse themselves.

"Hehe, it's really rare for Qin to encounter so many strange things today, and regardless of Lu Wu and Chen Qi, the two of them refuse to enter the banquet and drink, since you and others have been ordered to sit down one after another, why do you sit down and stand behind Lu Wu and Chen Qi and bow down? Who among you can tell Qin what the truth is here? ”

After listening to Qin Su and Qin Youcheng's inquiry, the short-bearded strong man behind Lu Wu, who was six feet eight inches tall and had a black and red face, bowed down, and said in an angry voice in the urn: "Back to Qin Gong, a certain Hu Jie and all the brothers acted without a form, and before Qin Gong and San Lang sat down, they rushed to the table like a group of hungry wolves who grabbed food, so reckless behavior is not only inconsistent with etiquette, but also messes up the rules of superiority and inferiority, so a certain brother can only ask Qin Gong and San Lang for guilt here." ”

When he said this, the short-bearded strong man and the thirteen military men behind him bowed in unison to Qin Su and Qin Xiao brothers.

"Haha, Hu Jie, since you have been ordered by Qin to enter the table, how can you be reckless and act in accordance with etiquette?"

"Hu Jie, you and the other strong men are all guests of Qin's banquet today, and besides, you are the brave and brave sergeants of the Shuofang border army, and you don't have to follow the so-called etiquette rules of those literati and scholars."

"Whoa! Thank you for the grace of Qin Gong's innocence! ”
