Chapter Twenty-Six: The Veteran Heart
Out of the palace, Duhe found Luo Tong and explained the situation to him.
Luo Tong didn't hesitate, but smiled: "That's fine, my other two are mounted archery and cavalry combat." Skipping the ring gives me more time to practice riding. ”
Luo Tong is like this, with a cold face and a warm heart, and will do everything in his power to help his friend's request, while also pretending that it is not a big deal.
Du He understood him and didn't say much, just patted him on the shoulder to express his heart.
Brothers say too much thanks, but it hurts the feelings the most.
Plan before you act, this is the motto that Duhe has always believed.
Lying in bed at night, Du Ho thought about how to win.
Since he patted his chest in front of Li Shimin and promised to win three gold medals, he could not break his promise and achieved it with the greatest strength.
I should not be afraid of the battle in the ring, and with my light skills, even a master like the Red Whisk Girl can help myself, let alone a figure of the same generation? With his own light skills, he can be completely invincible.
As for archery, don't mention it!
These 360 lines, the line is the champion, this must be true!
Everyone has their own talents, and they can learn everything quickly, but when they encounter a bow and arrow, they are like a tiger that encounters a hedgehog, and they have nowhere to go, and they can't shoot no matter how they shoot, and it is in vain to practice it.
Fortunately, it is a comparison of hunting, and the test is who can hunt more prey within the specified time, and it is not a fair competition in front of the public. At that time, you can use the arrow feather as a hidden weapon to compete. Anyway, there is no explicit rule, you must shoot with a bow and arrow!
With his many years of secret weapon techniques, there should be no reason to lose.
This is a hunting item, and Du He is also somewhat sure.
As for the off-road races!
This...... This may be the smallest project that I grasp, and what I rely on is light work. With light skills, he can do any difficult maneuvers on horseback, but as long as he has practiced hard for more than 20 years, a talented rider can still do it. You don't have a big advantage on this point. On the contrary, the aliens take the horse as their companion every day, and their horse-taming skills are superb, and ordinary war horses are in their hands, but they can be tamed and obedient in half an hour.
This is something that Yu Ma can't do if he has been in contact with him for less than a year.
The horses at the time of the competition are military horses that are randomly drawn out, and they need to be temporarily honed with tacit understanding. If you don't do enough in this aspect during the game, it is likely to lead directly to failure.
"It seems that I should focus on equestrian training this half month!" Du He whispered to himself: "To practice alone, it is better to find someone to teach." In the past, his riding master was Luo Tong, but now his riding skills are almost the same as his own, and it is impossible to teach himself anything, who else is suitable? ”
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he laughed happily: "How did you forget him!" ”
Early the next morning, Du He reported to Zuo Weiwei, entrusted the military affairs to Wang Dezheng, and dragged Fang Yiai to find his master Qin Qiong.
Qin Qiong is known as the first fierce general of the Tang Dynasty, charging into battle, killing enemy generals has always been invincible, whether it is experience or skills, it should be the best choice.
Walking on the way to the mansion of Hu Guogong, Du He thought about Qin Qiong's appearance, he had been in the Tang Dynasty for nearly a year, and he had seen almost all the characters with heads and faces in the court, but Qin Qiong, Qin Shubao, who made the novel blow, had never seen it.
The first feeling that Du He felt when he walked into the Qin Mansion was that it was deserted, there were almost no people, and the cleaning in the house was not very clean, and there were hardly many maids in sight.
Du He was a little strange and asked casually.
Fang Yiai said: "The master doesn't like others to serve, there are not many people in the house." ”
When Duhe saw Qin Qiong in the inner hall, his expression couldn't help but change, and he looked at the old man in front of him in amazement, and his heart fluttered.
He was very tall, and it could be seen that when he was young, he must have been a majestic and strong man, but now he was like a long sweet bean, skinny as wood, and he looked like the wind was blowing, and his yellow and thin cheeks were sunken, and there was not much blood on his face.
Qin Qiong is called in the novel "Horses on both sides of the Yellow River, beating one hundred and eight counties in the thirty-six prefectures of Kyushu, half of the sky in the east of Zhenshan, filial piety and motherhood seem to be specialized, making friends with Meng Wei, and Shenquan Taibao" and portrayed him as a general with wisdom and bravery, but in fact, all this is false.
The most empty thing is Qin Qiong's martial arts.
In the novel, Qin Qiong's martial arts are not ranked in the top ten, but in fact, Qin Qiong was like Li Yuanba in the novel in the Sui and Tang dynasties, brave and famous, and was a legendary figure who took people's heads in the army of ten thousand horses. Shubao responded to the order, the prancing horse carried the spear and marched, and he would stab among the thousands of people, and the people and horses were easy to see.
There is also such a record in "Sui and Tang Jiahua" that when Qin Qiong followed Li Shimin to attack Luoyang City, he stuck his weapon, an overweight spear, in the soil outside the city and went back to the military camp to eat. More than a dozen of Wang Shichong's soldiers rushed out of the city, trying to pull out the spear, but their efforts together did not work, and the spear was still firmly inserted in the soil. And when Qin Qiong came to the city again, he easily pulled out his spear, held it in his hand and left proudly, leaving the soldiers on both sides present stunned.
How did such a great warrior become this picture now?
Qin Qiong didn't mind Du He's reaction, but sighed bitterly in her heart and said, "You are the eldest brother in the mouth of the beloved, Du He, the son of Du Xiang?" I've heard you talk about you many times, and you're really talented. ”
Du He suppressed the shock in his heart, and bowed deeply: "Du He greets General Qin!" ”
Qin Qiong's face showed a hint of blush, and her waist straightened unconsciously.
General Qin, how many years have you not heard this title?
It's been a long time!
Since his fall, few people have called him a general, and even if he does, he is the unpleasant old general.
Qin Qiong smiled and asked Du He to be polite and said: "Although Qin and your father were very literate, they had a good relationship, so there is no need to be polite, just call your uncle." ”
Du He shouted: "Uncle! Then he said, "I don't know what disease my uncle has?" ”
"Not sick!" Qin Qiong shook his head, seeing Du He's stunned face, he explained: "I was born in the turbulent season, since I was a teenager, I have experienced no less than two or three hundred battles, large and small, and the scars on my body have already exceeded a hundred, which are uncountable, and the blood lost before and after the measurement is more than a few hundred. Now those old problems have recurred, how can the body bones be supported! ”
He said it easily, but Du He was in awe, and bowed deeply: "Maybe my uncle's majesty is not there, but your blood has created a glorious Tang Dynasty, and your achievements for the Tang Dynasty will never be forgotten by future generations. ”
Qin Qiong's body was shocked, and he lost his mind slightly, remembering the situation when he was born and died for Datang, and then laughed: "You are right, I have paid a lot for Datang, and I have a clear conscience." Now that you're getting old, it's time to let go of everything. ”
As a battle-hardened general, what he feared was not death, but not death, and he was afraid that he would not be able to achieve a lifetime of fame on the battlefield with the horse leather shroud, but that he would die of illness and old age at home and no one cared about him.
The same is true for Qin Qiong, even if he has reached this age, he still can't forget his former son, and wants to go to the battlefield to continue to defend his family and country. But their own circumstances have doomed them to no chance of being on the battlefield.
The contradiction between what they think and what they do will make them hate their incompetence and hate that they can't go into battle to kill the enemy as before. Over time, it will accumulate into illness and eventually end up depressed.
Du He's words just spoke of the pain in Qin Qiong's heart, and he also felt that what he said made some sense, and his psychology was also a little more comfortable.
"By the way, what is the matter with the virtuous nephew coming to the old man?"
Du He said solemnly: "The little nephew came here to ask his uncle for advice, my uncle was brave and invincible, and the little nephew has always admired him. Half a month later, the little nephew will face the warriors of other countries in the brave competition, and I hope that my uncle can teach some riding skills and experience, so as to help the little nephew win and win glory for my Datang. ”
Qin Qiong stood up movingly, her expression was cloudy, and she looked at Du He in a daze: "You really want to get the old man's guidance?" ”
Du He affirmed categorically: "This is natural, my uncle is my number one warrior in the Tang Dynasty, his body may be able to age, but how can his experience and skills grow old?" can get the guidance of his uncle, and the little nephew is confident that he will win the championship in one fell swoop! ”
Qin Qiong was stunned for a while, and suddenly burst out into laughter, which shook all directions: "I can't imagine that my old bones are still useful, and I can actually contribute to Datang!" Okay, I'll teach you, there should be some people around you who will participate in the competition, and they can call them all if they want...... The old man has nothing else, but he has a certain degree of confidence in this martial art. ”
He changed his previous dullness, smiled, and in just a few cups of tea, he looked much younger.
Du He could faintly understand Qin Qiong's mentality, and immediately pulled Fang Yiai out of the Hu Guogong Mansion, and the two worked separately, gathering the fox friends and dog friends with a vote.
Li Yexu, Li Yehei, the two brothers, Luo Tong, Li Jingye and the eight living treasures of the Cheng family were called to the Hu Guogong Mansion together.
One by one, they heard that they could get the personal guidance of the first fierce general of the Tang Dynasty, and they were as excited as a magpie called spring.
Qin Qiong came to the martial arts arena in good spirits, and personally gave them tireless guidance and guidance based on their own experience and their respective characteristics.
Luo Tong, in particular, benefited the most.
Qin Qiong and Luo Tong both use guns, and the former taught him the Qin family gun that he used across the field.
Of course, Du He is also indispensable to Qin Qiong's guidance. Qin Qiong's riding skills honed through hundreds of battles made him fascinated, and his riding skills improved greatly, and the rest of the martial arts and killing skills have also made full progress under his experience.
It's getting closer and closer to the start of the brave competition!
