The three men came to have a banquet. Xue Rengui used to come from a poor family and therefore did not drink much, but it did not hinder the reputation of Qin and his son, so he had to drink a glass of Qin Xian wine as a companion.
After Qin Shubaozhi's health began to improve, he even began to recover his drinking capacity. He had a veritable amount of alcohol. Even the strong Qinxian wine could be drank for a pound or two without changing his expression and without a heartbeat, and he still talked and laughed with ease. Xue Rengui could only secretly sigh in admiration. He felt a little overwhelmed by Qin Shubao's heroic aura.
While drinking wine, a guest suddenly came to the house. From a distance, I heard a burst of bold and unrestrained laughter: "Haha, I can smell the aroma of good wine! It's better to come early than to come by chance!"
"Uncle Cheng!" Qin Mubai was overjoyed and hurriedly walked out of the lobby. Sure enough, I saw the burly Cheng Zhijie jumping off his horse, followed by his son Cheng Huaibi.
"Uncle Cheng, Brother Huaibi!" Qin Mubai stepped forward to greet him, "What kind of fairy wind brought you two here today?"
"Haha, you brat!" Cheng Zhijie laughed and slapped him on the shoulder, "I haven't seen you for a year, and you have become a great person! It's not some fairy wind that brings us here, it's your uncle's belly. The drunkard brought me here! —Erlang, why don’t you come up and pay homage to your Uncle Qin?”
"Yes!" Cheng Huaibi smiled at Qin Mubai, and then the uncle entered the hall to meet Qin Shubao.
Qin Shubao hurriedly asked his servants to hold a banquet, and also introduced Xue Rengui and Cheng's father and son. The banquet became more lively with the addition of five people.
It turns out that the new year has passed, and most of the state officials who have served far away have their annual leave and can return to their hometowns to visit relatives and celebrate the holidays. Cheng Zhijie just returned to Chang'an yesterday evening, and today he came to Qin Shubao's house to ask for a drink. This pair of old brothers who have lived through life and death are really closer than real brothers. We rarely see each other once a year, but we are particularly affectionate after the reunion. The friendship between them is like old wine, which becomes more and more fragrant with time.
After drinking for three rounds, Cheng Zhijie chatted with Qin Shubao about Xue Rengui, and suddenly he slapped his thigh excitedly: "Little kid named Xue, are you really as powerful as Qin Sanlang said?"
"No, Senior Cheng, please don't misunderstand General Qin's false praise. I am just a villager in the mountains. I have been bored and practiced some moves on my own in my free time, and I can't get on the stage." Xue Rengui replied with cupped fists.
"Hehe, the more humble a person is, the more he has real talent and learning, just like me, old Cheng, back then." Cheng Zhijie laughed loudly, rolled his eyes from side to side, and said, "Come on, come on, I trained Qin Qin years ago." I used to stretch my muscles when I was young, but I haven’t had sex with anyone for almost a year. Today, I’m very interested. The little boy named Xue is here to play with me.”
"How dare I!" Xue Rengui hurriedly declined.
"Brother Xue, there is no need to refuse." Qin Mubai was already secretly excited and advised from the side, "You may not understand Uncle Cheng's temperament. If he decides who he wants to compete with, he won't be able to escape. . I think back then... I was dragged onto a horse and beaten to death a hundred and eighty times."
"Scared! Is my old Cheng so unreasonable? Qin Sanlang, please don't ruin your uncle's reputation!" Cheng Zhijie drank some wine and shouted while he was drunk, "Xue Rengui, if you are really afraid, I’ll spare you my life and won’t fight you. I’ll pick Qin Sanlang to see how his martial arts progresses!”
Xue Rengui felt a warlike spirit rising in his heart. He frowned, cupped his fists and said, "Since General Cheng won't give up, this junior is brave enough to ask for advice!"
"Okay, that's cool, haha!" Cheng Zhijie stood up with a loud laugh and waved his hand, "Let's go to the polo field in the backyard!"
"Yao Jin, do you think this is your home?" Qin Shubao stood up and cursed with a smile, "How dare you bully my guest."
"What, you're not happy anymore? Isn't your home my home? Haha!" Cheng Zhijie laughed nonchalantly and walked swaggering towards the backyard.
Xue Rengui and Qin Mubai were walking side by side. At this time, they couldn't help but smile: "General Qin, this old general Cheng is really bold and unrestrained. He is an upright and straightforward man!"
"Then don't underestimate him because of this. He is an old man with rough edges, great wisdom and foolishness, and the best at pretending to be stupid." Qin Mubai said with a smile, "If you treat him as an ordinary reckless man, then you are going to Big loss."
"I will remember it." Xue Rengui nodded and said with a smile.
A group of several people came to the backyard and picked out horses first, then weapons. Cheng Zhijie was good at using horses, so he picked up a two-foot long horse and asked Xue Rengui, "Xue family little boy, what kind of weapons do you usually use?"
Xue Rengui frowned in embarrassment, clasped his fists and said: "In response to the old general's words, I came to visit today and did not bring any weapons... The weapons I used are not commonly used by others, and I don't know if they are available in Duke Yi's mansion? If not, Please allow me to go home and get the weapons."
Cheng Zhijie laughed heartily: "What the Xue family's little boy said is interesting. Although Qin Shubao is poor and has nothing, he has no shortage of good horses, armor and weapons. You don't even know what he does. The most important thing among the three treasures of a general is weapons! He must have all kinds of weapons in his house. Tell me, what are you using? "
"Fang Tian Hua Ji!"
"Haha, aren't there twelve square-shaped halberds stuck outside the gate of the Qin family? Go and pull one out!"
"Haha!!" His words made everyone laugh.
Qin Shubao scolded angrily: "You old ghost, you will make mischief after three cups of horse urine. That halberd of the Xunmen was given by the emperor, and can it be pulled out and used as a weapon? Xue Rengui, there is what you want in the arsenal Weapons, go pick them out!”
"Thank you, Duke Yi!" Xue Rengui thanked him with clasped fists, and then entered the room where the weapons were stacked. When he took a first look, it was quite shocking and eye-opening. It is true as Cheng Zhijie said, there is no shortage of eighteen kinds of weapons in this room, and they are all of high quality. From the time he entered the house until now, he found that the famous Qin Shubao's mansion was not as grand as imagined by a wealthy family. Even the residence of an ordinary Chang'an wealthy businessman was more luxurious than this Qin's mansion.
It's just that there are so many high-quality weapons in the world, and I'm afraid there are only a few besides the Qin Mansion! There are three or four Fangtian painted halberds in this room, which are rarely used by ordinary warriors, and none of them is a high-quality item that is hard to find. Placed in the center is Qin Shubao's famous weapon - the tiger-headed golden spear, which shines with cold light and looks majestic, like a magic weapon!
Picking up a handy Fang Tianhua halberd, Xue Rengui walked out of the weapons room. Qin Mubai brought his Huoyun horse in exchange for a horse Xue Rengui picked himself, and said to him: "Brother Xue, in horse racing, horse power comes first. Uncle Cheng is very clever and picked my father's best horse." You can't let him take advantage of you, my flaming horse is just here to help you!"
"Hey! You're eating the inside out, Qin Sanlang!" Cheng Zhijie shouted angrily, "I love you in vain!"
"Haha!" Everyone laughed together. Qin Shubao said: "Old ghost, you are not kind enough, so don't blame Sanlang for helping Rengui. Stop talking nonsense and start the fight quickly!"
"Pah, pah!" Cheng Changjie spat into his hand twice and laughed loudly like thunder. "Little Xue family kid, come over here! I, Old Cheng, will never bully the younger ones, so I'll let you three first. trick!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Zhijie suddenly clamped his horse's belly and stabbed Xue Rengui with a spear!
Qin Mubai was speechless and cursed in his heart: This old guy is so shameless!
Qin Shubao also laughed: "Old Cheng, Old Cheng, your face has grown with age, you are so shameless!
"drink-"
Just hearing a loud roar in the field, Xue Rengui's reaction was very fast. He twisted his body to avoid Cheng Zhijie's sharp spear, and turned around to knock him down with a beautiful draw, taking away the remaining power of Cheng Zhijie's spear and putting it aside.
With four ounces of force, Xue Rengui's behavior seemed restrained and polite, but it was extremely subtle.
Qin Shubao couldn't help but narrowed his eyes and secretly chanted: Not bad! Sure enough, it happened twice!
"Roar-"
After missing a blow, Cheng Zhijie used his spear to sweep away the entire army. At this time, Xue Rengui drew his sword and turned around, and the empty door behind him was revealed. If this shot is hit, it will definitely fall miserably. Thinking back to the beginning, Qin Mubai was knocked off his horse countless times by this move, but he suffered a lot.
He was about to be hit, and unexpectedly, Xue Rengui looked like he had eyes on the back of his head, and without turning around to look, he suddenly twisted his wolf's waist and relaxed his arms, and the top-heavy heavy Fang Tian painted halberd was as dexterous as his arms, using With a "returning spear", he used the moon bud blade of Fang Tianhua's halberd with great accuracy to hit Cheng Huaibi's sweeping shot.
There was a loud "bang" sound, and the tip of the iron spear hit the Yue Bud Blade hard, sending sparks flying everywhere!
"These two are both very powerful!" Qin Mubai said.
Cheng Huaibi said in surprise: "Brother Qin, although my father is nearly fifty years old, he is still more than twice as strong as Yu Di. When Yu Di competes with my father in martial arts, he is often unable to withstand his strong attacks. Just like this A shot that swept through thousands of troops, even if Yu Di could barely hold on, his arms would be numb and even his mouth would be shattered, and sometimes he would be knocked off his horse. This Xue Rengui is really born with supernatural power, and he can actually use such a heavy Fang Tian. Hua Ji used his dexterity in marksmanship to return the carbine, and he managed to sweep through the entire army with ease! "It's amazing!"
"Haha, look, the fun is yet to come." Qin Shubao smiled lightly.
In the blink of an eye, Cheng Zhijie and Xue Rengui were already fighting in the third round. Cheng Zhijie has been wielding the horse gun all his life, and his marksmanship is perverse, domineering, sharp and exquisite. When he failed to sweep away thousands of troops with one shot, he changed his moves in an instant and stabbed Xue Rengui's back with six or seven shots in succession, as fast as a phantom.
Xue Rengui, however, only defended and did not attack. He calmly moved his Fang Tianhua halberd like clouds and flowing water, forming a cloud of spear shadows and swords behind him, like an unbreakable shield made of fine steel, which neutralized Cheng Zhijie's fierce offensive. invisible.
"Sure enough!" After seeing these three offensive and defensive moves, Qin Shubao couldn't help but blurt out, "Xue Rengui only defended but did not attack, and he actually gave up three moves to Old Monster Cheng! Young people are scary, I have known Old Monster Cheng for almost forty years, and we fought side by side. In my whole life as a soldier, I have never seen anyone who can do three moves in a row!"
"Father, can't you even do it?" Qin Mubai couldn't help but ask.
"Me?" Qin Shubao chuckled, "Then it's not a question of whether or not. If I do this... he will scold me."
