Love Affairs in Chang’an

Chapter 122: There is nothing in the pool

Views:

Xue Rengui has thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a square face. His eyes are like a cold pool in late autumn, calm and deep, silent and deep. In terms of height, he was about the same as Qin Mubai. Although he was dressed in plain white cloth with patches, it was difficult to conceal the warrior style that naturally exuded from his body.

Everyone present had a common feeling - the person in front of them was definitely not a thing in the pool! How could an ordinary down-and-out country man have such a cool and calm demeanor

Hearing Qin Mubai's opening remarks, Xue Rengui should have been surprised, but his expression did not change at all. He still clasped his fists and said: "You call me that, do you recognize me? Please forgive me for being clumsy and forgetful. I can't remember where I saw you." ”

"This is the first time you and I have met in our lives, but I already know your name like a thunderbolt." Qin Mubai didn't lie in the previous sentence, but he immediately started to make it up with a smile, "I heard someone say not long after I came to Jiangzhou Come on, there is a genius in Longmen who is hiding in the cold mountains and shooting swallows. Isn’t it you?”

"Oh?"

The meaning behind Xue Rengui's words is very clear. He could tell without an introduction that Qin Mubai, who was standing in front of him now, was neither rich nor noble, and was by no means an ordinary person. Looking at this situation, it seemed that they were specifically targeting him, so Xue Rengui was filled with doubts.

Qin Mubai smiled easily: "Looking at this situation, Brother Xue is quite wary of us! Let me tell you this, just in the morning, my two subordinates, because they didn't know how to behave, were very cautious about you. Offended. So I brought them here to apologize to you."

The two soldiers behind Qin Mubai were startled and almost vomited blood. But the boss has already said this, so how can they dare to say more? So he endured the grievance and stepped forward, neatly clasping his fists at Xue Rengui and saying, "Xue Zhuangshi, I have been offended so much!"

"How dare you? I'm just being arrogant and reckless. It's a capital crime for me!" In this situation, Xue Rengui had the nerve to control his hostile attitude and hurriedly raised his fists in return.

"Brother Xue must be very surprised at this moment about my identity and origin, right?" Qin Mubai laughed and said, "I just arrived at your house, and Mrs. Meng did not give up and promised to entertain me for dinner. Haha, Brother Xue, My two unsatisfactory subordinates didn't fight back the wild geese, and we are still hungry. Do you mind if I go to your house to have a meal with my mouth watering? "

"This..." Xue Rengui smiled awkwardly, his face turned a little red, and then he laughed and said, "If your distinguished guest doesn't dislike the humble house and poor food, please invite me quickly!"

"Okay!" Qin Mubai happily touched his palm: "Let's go!"

Xue Rengui turned around, picked up Fang Tian's painted halberd, walked to Qin Mubai and others, pointed forward: "Please, distinguished guests!"

Qin Mubai looked at Fang Tian Huaji up and down, and said with a click of his tongue: "Magic weapon!"

"Brother, that's ridiculous... I'm very poor, and my only possession is this weapon." Xue Rengui smiled a little ashamedly, "Therefore, even if I'm so hungry that I'm dizzy, I'm not willing to pawn it off."

"Heroes don't ask where they come from, and people in the world should not deceive young people into poverty." Qin Mubai said with a smile, "Brother Xue is now like a tiger falling in Pingyang and a dragon is swimming in the shallows. There is no need to belittle oneself. With Brother Xue's ability, he will definitely make great contributions and achieve great success in the future! I'm here. He is a layman who lives in the officialdom. He has no ability but has made a few friends who can take charge of things. If Brother Xue wants to retaliate, I can introduce him to you. I just don’t know if Brother Xue is willing to make this lay friend."

Xue Rengui was a little confused and confused. He had no idea why this strange stranger in front of him was so enthusiastic towards a poor man like him. But the other party obviously has no ill intentions. He has no money and no reputation, and has nothing for the other party to gain. What's more, if you don't hit the smiling person, having many friends is not a bad thing!

Thinking of this, Xue Rengui laughed heartily: "Xue has been poor for half his life without a single friend, and even his relatives have kept a distance from me. Today, I have been honored by your Excellency, and Xue is willing to make you my friend!"

"Okay, Brother Xue, feel free!" Qin Mubai grabbed Xue Rengui's wrist and laughed, "Come on, I'm really hungry. I really want to try the wild goose stewed by my wife!"

Seeing Qin Mubai holding Xue Rengui's hand and striding away, the few soldiers were stunned. He murmured: "What happened to the general today? I thought he was here to help us and seek trouble for this guy, but why did he make us sacrifice our lives to apologize and make friends with him?"

Chen Yan held her sword in her arms and said coldly with an expressionless face: "Thank you for following him for so long, you can't even see this. Your general is a man who loves talents and cherishes them. He took a fancy to Xue Rengui's martial arts talent, so To condescend to have friendship with him is just to use him for your own use.”

"Then there's no need to wrong ourselves so much, right?" One of the soldiers curled his lips in disbelief and said, "Bai Qi is an imperial commander, and being beaten by a country villager is not a big deal, but he actually did it in return. I apologize, right? If this spreads, it will greatly damage your reputation!"

"Hmph!" Chen Yan sneered disdainfully, "That's why he can be a general, but you can only be pawns for the rest of your life."

"What do you mean?!" the pawn glared at Chen Yan and yelled angrily.

"Think about it with your own brain!" Chen Yan said casually as she walked forward, "Being polite and humble towards the weak and kind is the magnanimity and demeanor that a strong person should have. Haven't you seen, Xue Rengui Is it because I want to get closer to you, just like I don’t want to bully you anymore

"You!... you stinky bitch!"

"But what she said... seems to make sense. My general never bullies weak and kind people, and he is always very polite and caring to us. However, an arrogant person like Changsun Huan was made a little bit gray by him. Temper. No wonder all the brothers in the camp are convinced by him..."

A few moments later, in the cave dwelling of Xue Rengui's family.

"So your Excellency is the famous Hundred Cavalry Envoy Qin Mubai?" Xue Rengui was a little surprised when he heard that Qin Mubai reported himself as a family member. He looked at Qin Mubai up and down in disbelief and said, "How disrespectful! I've heard about Qin Mubai in Chang'an for a long time. Bai's name, in Xue's mind, he always thought that Qin Mubai was a strong man about forty years old, but he didn't expect to be so young, two years younger than Xue! "

"Haha! It's just because of my father's blessing, my family's support, and my good luck that my official career is relatively smooth. It only proves that my reincarnation is better. In terms of true talent and learning, I am better than It's a long way from Brother Xue," Qin Mubai said with a smile.

"General Qin is too humble." Xue Rengui said, "Although I am a man from the mountains, I have heard a lot about Baiqi. If you don't have extraordinary talents, it is a delusion to enter Baiqi, let alone honor. He has taken up the position of Hundred Cavalry Envoy."

At this time, Chen Yan sneered and said: "Two grown men, one under the other, praise each other for being humble and vulgar? Brother, why don't you just say to yourself, you want to give Xue Rengui a background and let him follow you?" If he is willing, it is good to be consensual; if he is not willing, it is not a bad thing to meet each other and become friends. "

"Haha! It's better for you to be happy!" Qin Mubai slapped his thigh and said with a smile, "Brother Xue, what my sworn sister said is what I want to say. What do you think, think about it?"

"This..." After all, it was a little sudden, and Xue couldn't handle it for a while.

Everyone present stopped talking and looked at Xue Rengui quietly.

At this time, Xue Rengui's wife, Mrs. Liu, came forward and said to Xue Rengui: "Rengui, don't you always sigh and say that you have never seen your talents? Although I am a humble concubine and have never seen the world, I see that General Qin is not a bad person by any means. Now the noble man Will you agree to come to me to help you sincerely? From now on, you can make a career on your own, and you can repay General Qin's kindness in your life. The grace of knowing someone.”

"Sister-in-law, there is no need to persuade him." Qin Mubai said with a smile, "As the saying goes, men are afraid of getting into the wrong profession and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man. This matter is related to Brother Xue's future. Perhaps his life has undergone earth-shaking changes since then. Yes Whether it's noble or cheap, a blessing or a curse, only God knows. It's good for him to think about it more. "

"General Qin shows his love so much, I am very frightened. I should have promised immediately to repay the general's kindness... But as the general said, it is related to Xue's life. Can you allow Xue to think carefully before making a reply?" Xue Rengui raised his fists and said seriously. said.

"Okay. A wise man makes a decision before taking action. I'm not in a hurry, and I won't rush you." Qin Mubai nodded and smiled, "Brother Xue will come to me when he thinks about it clearly. I will probably stay in Ji for the next month or two. Shanxian, it’s easy for you to find me. If I go back to Chang’an, it’s easy for you to find me.”

"Okay. General Qin is a famous person. If I go to visit you, I will definitely be able to find you." Xue Rengui said with a grateful and a little bit of shame, "I apologize, General Qin. I... I must think clearly before I can answer you. "

"It should be." Qin Mubai smiled frankly, "If it were me, if an unfamiliar stranger suddenly came to me and said he wanted to show me a way, I would be hesitant. Brother Xue doesn't have to Worry, as my sworn sister said, if you are willing, it's good to be consensual; if you are not willing, it's not a bad thing to meet and become friends. "

"Okay! No matter what, I have made General Qin my friend!" Xue Rengui raised a bowl of wine and laughed heartily, "General Qin, please give me a bowl!"

"Brother Xue, are you still calling me general?" Qin Mubai said with a smile, "Since we are friends, there is no hierarchy between us."

"Okay, Brother Qin, please!—Everyone, please!"

"Dry!"

After the meal, Qin Mubai and others said goodbye to Xue Rengui and returned to their place.

"That Xue Rengui is so ignorant of praise! A poor man in the mountains can be so generous! The general wants to take him away, give him a good background, and let him join the Hundred Cavalry, but he still thinks about it! What does he think of the Hundred Cavalry? Who in the world is not crazy about wanting to join Baiqi? This person must be either crazy or stupid!" The Baiqi soldiers finally couldn't help but burst out with resentment and cursed one after another.

"What do you know!" Qin Mubai shouted, and everyone stopped talking, shut up and retreated.

Qin Mubai thought to himself, if Qianlong is as easy to catch as loach, then he is not Qianlong!
