Qin Li kept his promise and found the materials suitable for making bows the next day. The eldest son treated him more and more intimately, and the news soon reached the ears of the second son. With his inadvertent disclosure, Wu Xian also knew about it, but he was not as unhappy as expected.
There is even a sense of joy in seeing it happen.
The second young master was moved, but his face was full of admiration: "I saw Mr. Qin and my elder brother in the training ground this morning. This is the first time I know that Mr. Qin's archery skills are so superb."
Wu Xian immediately became interested: "Gong Su's archery skills?"
The second son shook his head and said, "My son is far inferior."
Wu Xian's tone was quite proud.
"Knowing shame leads to courage. You are still young, so it is normal that you are not as good as Gong Su. A person like him must be proficient in the six arts. It would be good for your elder brother to follow him and learn a little bit... Speaking of which, Gong Su's archery skills are something that even I have never seen before."
The second young master followed Wu Xian on horseback with a subtle expression on his face.
He naturally didn't know what was going on between Qin Li and his elder brother, or when they became so close, but judging from his father's words, the other party was happy to see it happen. This discovery made the second son feel unhappy, and he was absent-minded when hunting.
Then again, his father's recent cold treatment of Qin Gongsu was completely different from the indifference he showed to him a few years ago, and he was confused at first. He vaguely heard that the two had a conflict, but the staff around him did not tell him what the conflict was.
Analyzing it again now makes him feel cold.
Father, you didn't do this on purpose, did you
He deliberately treated Qin Gongsu coldly and took the opportunity to let his elder brother get close to him. In this way, Qin Gongsu would definitely have a good impression of his elder brother.
The thought hovered in his mind like a curse.
The more you try not to think about it, the more it haunts you.
The second son also had an obsession with Qin Li. After all, Qin Li was a popular person around his father. If he could get his support, what would his useless elder brother have to compete with him? With the status of the eldest son? Except for being born earlier, he was inferior to him in every way!
As a result, the second young master's goodwill was met with Qin Li's rejection.
Not long after, he heard Qin Li mention something like "the order of seniority and distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children should be clear, and the sons of illegitimate children should abide by their duties, so as to avoid the tragedy of brothers fighting each other." It was clearly a warning to him. He was so angry that he lost his appetite for several days!
They all have the same father and the same mother!
Why should we allow an incompetent person who can only reincarnate to be the leader
Will you and your descendants be the minor clan for the rest of your lives
Is this fair
At that time, he didn't know how to restrain himself, and he complained to his mother. Who knew that this matter somehow got to his father's ears, and he got scolded for nothing. He told him to respect his elder brother, be friendly to his younger brother, and not to cause other troubles...
He talked back to Wu Xian and got beaten up.
Qin Gongsu, whom he had always wanted but could not get, was now close to his eldest brother, and his father was happy to see it happen. The second son's mentality collapsed. Outsiders said that his father loved him more, love love love - love is useless, who will be the head of the family in the future
The staff said that his father valued him more, but he didn't think so. Who else could feel his father's love more directly and clearly than his son? What a joke! Of course he also wanted to kill the boss.
Once the boss died, he became legitimate.
But after the last incident, the eldest son was surrounded by his father's people. These people protected him tightly. If he dared to make any small move, he would be discovered! They were afraid that they would harm his most precious eldest son! Even if he was a waste!
The second young master had a blank expression on his face, but his hands were tightly gripping the reins.
Qin Gongsu went to the boss's side, he really couldn't sit still anymore.
With so much on my mind, even the arrow lost its aim.
Wu Xian shot down the big tiger with a supplementary arrow. The tiger's skin was intact and it should be good to peel it off, but Wu Xian gave the prey to his son. The second son was just about to show his joy, but he heard Wu Xian say: "The eldest son likes tiger skins. His birthday is next month, right?"
The second young master felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar: "In the middle of next month."
"Just right, I saved myself a gift. This big insect is not a valuable item, but brothers should learn to share. You and the eldest brother have become quite estranged recently, so take this opportunity to strengthen your brotherly relationship." Wu Xian said earnestly, "After this battle, I want to take a break. Tianhai still needs your support and management. Only when brothers work together can they achieve great things..."
To be honest, Wu Xianzhen is not satisfied with his eldest son.
He was embarrassed by the fact that his heir was so disappointing.
But now is different from the past. His sister Shen is very powerful and he cannot beat her. The future situation is not favorable for him. At this time, the eldest brother will naturally make the allies feel more at ease than the second brother. Wu Xian thought a lot. He planned to push the eldest brother to take over after he returned, and he would secretly manage the savings behind the scenes. Maybe in a few years, the situation will be different, and he may be able to turn things around.
The eldest brother is cowardly and will cooperate with me more.
The second son's personality is the same as his own. When the father and son disagree, they quarrel. If he chooses him, how can he be willing to listen to his orders? After thinking about it, Wu Xian has made a decision. However, it is not easy to tell his son this plan.
I hope they can understand my good intentions.
As for the second brother’s ambition
He is still alive now, and they dare not rebel.
The second young master was already gritting his teeth in his heart, but he said respectfully and docilely: "Well, son, I will remember my father's instructions."
"My lord, there is prey ahead!"
The voices of the guards were heard in the distance.
Wu Xian's eyes lit up: "Great, today's harvest is great."
A group of more than a hundred people were galloping through the mountains near Chaoli Pass. As the sun set, the horses' backs were filled with prey. Wu Xian felt happy. Everyone was talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was relaxed: "Hahaha, my lord, we are lucky to have a good meal today."
"I haven't eaten meat for a long time. I almost forgot what it tastes like."
Wu Xian was also very generous: "Everyone gets a share!"
The conditions of marching and fighting were harsh, and perishable meat was rarely prepared. Even Wu Xian could only eat some dried or pickled meat. If he wanted to try fresh meat, he could only go hunting when he had time. The prey depended on luck, and today's luck was pretty good.
Others also found it strange.
Chaoli Pass is not a peaceful place. Various forces have fought so many times here that almost all the game in the mountains has been hunted. I never thought that there would be so much harvest today. This inevitably makes people associate it with a good omen.
Everyone was talking at once.
As the conversation went on, it came to the second young master's head.
If it wasn't for the birthday celebration, they wouldn't have come out.
It’s hard to say whether this good luck has nothing to do with the Second Young Master.
Wu Xian just listened to what he said, and had no intention of saying anything, which made his confidants a little embarrassed. In the past, Wu Xian was not stingy with his praise for his son. Which old father doesn't like to hear others praise his son? Today's attitude was abnormal.
The second young master lowered his head, the setting sun casting a shadow on his face, hiding the surging resentment in his eyes, and the atmosphere was slightly awkward.
The group of smart people understood the atmosphere and tacitly changed the topic to talk about how to distribute the prey.
The mountains near Chaoli Pass are very complex.
The crowd did not go down the mountain the same way they came.
As they walked, the experienced soldiers felt something was wrong. It was a mysterious intuition. Everyone looked at each other, and Wu Xian quietly put his hand on his sword. He winked at one of his confidants.
The faithful man understood.
His figure disappeared as light as smoke.
Not long after, he came back quietly, with a very unhappy look on his face, holding a bag of soil wrapped in rags in his hand.
The soil showed signs of having been turned over.
Judging from the traces between the trees, there were people nearby. The footprints were quite large, so it was definitely not villagers from the nearby village who went into the mountains to hunt. Wu Xian pursed his lips and lowered his voice: "Don't alert the enemy, turn back and retreat along the same route—"
He patted the second brother's back to comfort him.
"You follow first."
They dared not make any noise and alert the people in the dark.
The second son also knew the seriousness of the matter and did not dare to delay. Before Wu Xian left, he glanced into the distance and set off under the escort of his personal guards. However, their luck seemed to have been exhausted by the prey, and a cold arrow shot from the dark!
The soldiers who were traveling with him were greatly shocked.
He decisively shot down the arrow.
"Let's go, break out!"
Their whereabouts had been discovered, so there was no need to evacuate quietly at this time. They all increased the speed of their horses in unison. However, the enemy had already anticipated their actions. Longbows emerged from the dense forest in the direction of their retreat, and the arrowheads emitted a cold and cold light. With this scale, there must be at least 500 archers! Wu Xian's mind quickly popped up data, and he was terrified.
You have to know that there are endless mountains on both sides of Chaoli Pass under their feet. Crossing the mountains is equivalent to running behind them. This is their territory, an absolutely safe place. How could so many enemies appear? The scouts didn't even notice it
In a flash, countless speculations flashed through Wu Xian's mind.
He looked at his left and right, and the latter shouted, "Who are you? How dare you act so arrogantly in the territory of my lord Shen Youli?"
Everyone consciously surrounded the father and son.
Wu Xian shouted this to test him.
Test whether this group of people are real enemies or fake enemies!
Yes, Wu Xian also suspected Chen Tang. Even if the possibility was not high, he still had to be on guard. If it wasn't Chen Youli's troops, how could these things appear in the Chaoliguan Mountains? This was the defense line that Chen Youli was responsible for!
If it weren't for Shen Youli's troops, it would be even better. If the enemy knew Wu Xian's identity, it would be difficult to leave today!
So he took the initiative and introduced himself - the heads of the soldiers under Chen Tang were not as valuable as Wu Zhaode's head.
But, what responded to them was a volley of arrows!
Wu Xian cursed on the spot.
Soon, a whistle arrow rose into the sky with brilliant light.
The whistle arrow rose into the air, making an extremely sharp sound.
When the arrow transformed by the martial energy rose to the highest point, it exploded in all directions, forming a brilliant "spark". This thing made a lot of noise, and it flew high enough that the guards on duty in the watchtower soon noticed it and hurriedly reported the news.
"Report—"
Chaoli Pass is not small in area.
In order to spread the news as quickly as possible, Wu Qi turned into a fierce bird and flew everywhere with the news. At this time, Chen Tang had finished his meal and stood outside the government hall, with his hands on his hips, twisting his waist and neck, stretching his arms and legs, and patting his shoulders and legs.
It is called: helping digestion after meals.
Before, she was alone, but later she joined the bored Gong Xichou. According to his promise, he would fight until Huang Lie, Zhang He and the other two died and the battle was over. Every day, she was so bored that she was moldy. When she went to play with Chen Tang, she was busy with official business. He felt like he was going to be depressed.
Every day I keep asking myself why I haven’t been beaten yet.
Chen Tang sighed, "Your ability to nag is about to catch up with Xianglin Sao. What's the point of fighting? People will die."
Gong Xichou stood not far from her and followed her in doing the exercises.
"Who is Xianglin's Wife?"
Chen Tang said, “I don’t know.”
The two twisted their waists in sync: "Don't know?"
Chen Tang said bluntly: "This person suddenly popped up in my mind, how do I know who she is? Maybe she is someone I knew before... Your sacred object does not have previous memories."
Gong Xichou said "oh" and didn't ask any more questions.
Naturally, he also ignored Shen Tang's complaints about him.
After finishing the exercise, Chen Tang clapped his hands and shouted with full energy: "Take a walk after dinner, and live to be ninety-nine!"
Gong Xichou muttered: "That's really short-lived."
As long as they don't die in the battlefield or get killed by others, they can live for a long time with their strength. Ninety-nine is no different from dying young.
"I'm going to work."
There is still a lot of backlog of official business today.
Gong Xichou squatted by the door, and he started to be emo again, but Chen Tang didn't have time to pay attention to him. She had just picked up the pen to write a few words when she heard hurried footsteps outside the door, followed by another scream of "Ah", and Lin Feng stumbled in.
Gong Xichou: “…”
Which impetuous petty official stepped on him
Lin Feng was also startled.
Chen Tang has always advocated frugality. After nightfall, he would not light any lights in unnecessary places, so the entrance to the outer corridor was completely dark.
Lin Feng was thinking about the urgent battle report and didn't pay attention to his feet. Gong Xichou's strength and ability to restrain his breath have reached perfection. He closed his eyes and there was no him at all.
"Lingde, what happened?"
She came in a hurry, her breath was still a little unstable: "A sentinel arrow from Zhaodegong's camp suddenly rose towards the Liguan Mountains..."
Lin Feng and others’ experimental fields were relatively close, so they could see the most clearly. They did not dare to delay for even a second and hurried to report!
Chen Tang was shocked: "Wu Zhaode's?"
Why did this guy run into the mountains
Wu Xian was young and had a reputation. He could definitely fight. There were only wild beasts in the mountains. He couldn't even defeat them? He still needed to send out a whistle arrow to ask for help? However, this thought only lasted for a moment. Shen Tang immediately thought of something else, and his face changed drastically!
"Hand in hand, follow me!"
The listless Gong Xichou immediately became energetic.
Responded: "Mama, I'm coming right up!"
This is a sign of a fight.
Gong Xichou didn't know the seriousness of the matter, but Chen Tang knew it very well. However, before she even stepped out of the door of the Government Affairs Office, two groups of soldiers sent battle reports about the same matter!
With a whistle, the army began to move towards Liguan at full power.
Wu Xian’s camp was also affected.
However, the camp was far away and the news was received late.
The eldest son held the new bow sent by Qin Li as if he had found a treasure. He saw a little light appearing in the direction of the mountains at the end of his sight. He had poor talent and low strength, and his eyesight was not enough to see what the light was, but Qin Li beside him was different.
The eldest son only had time to see Qin Li's expression change drastically.
"What's the matter, sir?"
But Qin Li didn't have time to deal with him at the moment.
He just said "something happened" and hurried back to the tent.
He pinched his fingers to open the path of the scribe—
Cloudy sky and foggy ground!
While the sandbox was taking shape, there was only one thought in my mind.
Something big happened!
