Qin Mubai was provoked for the seventh time.
Immediately afterwards, he landed for the eighth time.
The ninth, tenth time...
About twenty times later, Qin Mubai fell to the ground and couldn't get up. Mrs. Liu in the distance also started crying in distress. Only then did Cheng Zhijie smile, throw down his gun and jump off his horse.
He pulled Qin Mubai up from the ground and said with a smile: "Hehe, it's actually pretty good. I've been practicing for more than thirty years, and I've been through the pile of dead people countless times before I became like this. If you can beat me now, I'm crazy about that. But I think your qualifications are pretty good, and you're getting better every time. More importantly, you'd rather be beaten to death than give up. This character is very similar to your father's! Work hard and you'll have a bright future! When I have time, I will come and advise you often!”
Not a single bone in Qin Mubai's body was without pain. He grinned and nodded with a wry smile: "Uncle Xie Cheng... my nephew will definitely practice martial arts hard in the future!"
You can’t do it without practicing hard! What if one day he meets someone like Cheng Yaojin again, and he refuses to show mercy, wouldn't he have tens of millions of transparent holes poked into his body? ! Now there is no way to get a May 4th pistol for self-defense...
"Who the hell says that the ancients are definitely inferior to today's people?... Let's just talk about horseback kung fu and spear skills. How many modern people dare to say that they can win gold in the process?"
After watching the excitement, Li Ji nodded and said with a smile: "Second brother Qin, Sanlang is quite good. He is talented and tenacious. You have to train him well. Maybe there will be more famous generals in the future of the Tang Dynasty?"
"Haha, Quanzi is only good at this." Qin Shubao said with a smile.
"My younger brother still has some military affairs to go to the palace to deliver orders to the emperor, so I'll take my leave first. If I have time in the future, I'll come back to Brother Qin to ask for a drink." Li Ji bowed his hands and was about to leave.
"That's fine." Qin Shubao nodded and said, "Mao Gong is busy with military affairs and business matters are important. If you have anything to do, you might as well come and sit down and talk about old times."
"Goodbye, little brother." Li Ji cupped his hands, said goodbye to Cheng Zhijie, and left first.
"Sanlang, go change your clothes and come back to drink with your Uncle Cheng." As soon as Qin Shubao finished speaking, Mrs. Liu and Qin Shuang'er ran over distressed and pulled Qin Mubai away.
Cheng Zhijie laughed loudly and clapped his hands, walked to Qin Shubao and said, "Second brother Qin, your San Lang is more promising than you were back then!"
"What should I say? You just tested it, isn't his martial arts really bad?" Qin Shubao asked.
"Haha! What year is it now? The age of peace and prosperity! Do you think we still have to lick blood with a knife to earn a living by being brave and brave like we did back then?" Cheng Zhijie said, "Besides, we have worked hard all our lives on horseback, and now It may not be that he is living better than others. Let’s not talk about it. Let’s talk about this old boy Li Ji! How else can he be such a big official and command so many troops
Qin Shubao smiled slightly: "Then what do you mean?"
"This boy of yours is smart and has good understanding!" Cheng Zhijie said, "I just competed with him in marksmanship, and I can see this boy's character. His marksmanship is very unfamiliar, and he obviously hasn't fought hard with others, so then It's impossible for him to be very powerful, but I can tell that this guy is very clever. Every time he falls down, his marksmanship will become better and his flaws will be reduced, and his marksmanship will become more mature. It's a lot safer. If he wasn't a smart person, how could he make such rapid progress? This kind of person fights with his brains, unlike us, who rely on strength!"
"Haha, you old ghost!" Qin Shubao laughed, but did not comment. I thought to myself: Do I need you to tell me whether my own son is smart or stupid? Not long ago, I saw clearly what happened to Wu Meiniang. That kid is a monster!
"Hehe, I may have to stay in Chang'an for some time. Do you mind if I come to your house every day to ask 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! This talent is so great. Okay, it won’t work without anyone’s advice! Second brother, you are in trouble, just let me do it!”
"Okay!" Qin Shubao agreed without saying a word, and laughed loudly, "Do you still need to divide it between you and me? My family is your family, and my son is your son. Whatever you want, that's fine! "
"Haha, second brother Qin is happy!"
Qin Mubai returned to the room with a bruised nose and swollen face, which made Mrs. Liu and Qin Shuang'er shed tears for a while, and it took a lot of effort to persuade them to stop. 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, and changed it to the ordinary Tang Dynasty light wine.
The three of them drank and chatted for a while, and then Cheng Zhijie said goodbye and left. Before leaving, he staggered and grabbed Qin Mubai: "Boy, send your uncle away, I drank too much!"
Qin Shubao looked at the two people walking out and laughed: "Old man, you don't want to say anything in front of me."
Qin Mubai helped Cheng Zhijie get into the carriage and left the Qin Mansion. Cheng Zhijie puffed on the smell of alcohol and said with bright eyes, "Sanlang, have you heard of Yuan Tiangang?"
"Is this the alchemist Yuan Tiangang who is known as a semi-immortal and is the best at fortune-telling?" Although Qin Mubai didn't know much about history, he had heard of him after all. What a great name!
The legend about him has disappeared in history. It is said that he met Wu Meiniang when she was a child and said that if this person was born as a boy, he would be destined to be an emperor. Everyone knows the subsequent history. In addition, many famous officials of Zhenguan were given face-to-face comments and orders, all of which were fulfilled. However, the most famous one is probably the historical prediction "*" that he and Li Chunfeng deduced, which even predicted the Taiping Rebellion a few years later.
These legends are so mysterious that science cannot explain them at all, but they are facts!
"Yes, it's that bull-nosed one." Cheng Zhijie said, "A few years ago, he met your father."
"How to say?"
Cheng Zhijie's thick eyebrows knitted together and he said: "At that time, he said that your father was brave and invincible throughout his life. He devoted his whole life to a man's passionate ambition and won a lot of honor and glory. But when he was old, he had no life to enjoy the blessings. He was half-paralyzed and half-disabled, and he died at fifty. ”
"Fifty?" Qin Mubai was suddenly startled, "Isn't that next year?"
"As for next year, we have even calculated the year, month and hour." Cheng Zhijie sighed heavily and said, "The seventeenth day of the first lunar month is Zishi."
Qin Mubai was stunned: Wouldn't it only be more than a month? … Believe it or not
"Whether you believe it or not. To be honest, I don't want to believe it either, but that old man Yuan never misses his fortune-telling." Cheng Zhijie sighed heavily and said, "Teach him a good lesson! I'm here today specially I made an appointment with Li Ji to visit him because I wanted to spend more time with him while he was alive. Your father doesn’t know this, so don’t tell him.”
"I know..." Qin Mubai nodded, feeling a little uncomfortable.
"There is another thing I want to tell you." Cheng Zhijie said, "Practice your martial arts! According to the news from the palace, the emperor is planning to form a personal guard to guard the palace. Directly listen to the news. Under the instructions of the emperor, the most outstanding martial arts talents are mainly selected from the nephews of meritorious officials and court officials. This is a rare opportunity. Being able to serve as an official for the emperor is much better than hanging around in Prince Wu's mansion now. What's more, it's not easy to mess around in the Prince's Mansion now. The clouds are treacherous and the undercurrents are turbulent. It's too dangerous for several princes to fight openly and secretly. That Li Ke is a sharp-edged and troublesome master. If you can, avoid it. open it!"
"Thank you, Uncle Cheng!" Qin Mubai bowed his hands and felt grateful in his heart - no wonder he pretended to be drunk to test my martial arts skills today. It turned out that he intended to guide me to change jobs and work for the emperor!
This Cheng Yaojin is really an old goblin with great wisdom and foolishness, but he hides it deeply!
"You're welcome. Your father and I are blood brothers, closer than real brothers. You are his son, so you are also the son of my old Cheng." Cheng Zhijie grinned like a lion and patted Qin Mubai on the shoulder. , "During this period, I will come and teach you your marksmanship whenever I have free time. In fact, your father's marksmanship is unparalleled in the world. Unfortunately, his legs and feet are inconvenient now, so I have to do it for you. Practicing marksmanship well does not mean that you will be able to do it in the future." The number of enemies killed on the battlefield is entirely to cope with the emperor's selection of troops in the near future, do you understand? "
"My nephew understands! Uncle Cheng has shown such care and concern, which is deeply appreciated by my nephew!" Qin Mubai solemnly handed over his hands and thanked him.
When Qin Mubai returned home, he met a servant and told him that Qin Shubao had asked him to go directly to the polo field in the backyard after he came back.
What are you going there for
Qin Mubai came to the backyard suspiciously and saw Qin Shubao standing in the yard with one hand on his back, not using a cane, but holding a gun and staring.
The waist is straight, and the whole person is as straight as a gun!
"Dad, what are you..." Qin Mubai walked over in surprise and asked.
Qin Shubao looks like this now, with his face flushed and energetic. He doesn't look like someone who has run out of gas and has only one month left to live!
"I have been studying Tai Chi for my father for a long time. I have been practicing it in my room for more than a month. I am quite thoughtful." Qin Shubao stroked his long beard and said sonorously, "I think there are indeed many skills in this set of boxing. It's very similar to the art of horse-mounted spear and stick. I tried to combine it with the Qin family's marksmanship to create a new set of horse-mounted marksmanship - practice it now, you can watch from the side!"
"What?" Qin Mubai couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Dad, you are not in good health and have trouble with your legs and feet, so why don't you give it up?"
"Nonsense!" Qin Shubao's eyebrows sank and his eyes flashed, "Do you think there is anything inconvenient about being a father now? Humph! Although he is no longer as brave as he used to be, he can fight with your Uncle Cheng with a leaping horse and a spear, and win. I’m afraid it’s hard to tell the difference for a while! Just stand here and watch carefully!”
After saying that, Qin Shubao shook his robe, personally led a horse and turned over in a graceful manner.
"See clearly!"
With a deep shout, Qin Shubao's horse galloped away.
People are like lightning, horses are like rainbows, magic soldiers descend from the sky, and marksmanship is like a god!
Qin Mubai was completely stunned.
