Chapter 24 The Real God of War
Where is this the father who was sick and had difficulty walking? These days, Qin Mubai has been busy with his own affairs and hasn't paid much attention to his health. He didn't expect such a big improvement!
"Drink, drink, drink!"
Continuously scolded angrily, and the guns in mid-air were like flutters, tearing through the long sky and bursting out a little bit of light, the move was deadly, and the style was obedient!
"What an excellent shooting!!" Qin Mubai couldn't help marveling loudly!
This is the legendary Qin Shubao!
The owner of the Twelve Qin Xunmen and the most famous general of the Tang Dynasty!
With a set of shooting techniques, Qin Shubao pulled back and settled down in front of Qin Mubai, inserted the long gun in front of him, and asked seriously, "Do you see it clearly?"
"I can see it clearly. But my father made it so fast that I didn't write down a few tricks. Qin Mubai suddenly recovered and replied.
"I didn't remember a few tricks, that's right!" Qin Shubao stroked his long beard, frowned and said, "Taiji, heavy meaning but not heavy shape. The Qin family's shooting method is mainly based on practical killing of the enemy, and it is not limited to the usual practice. The combination of two sets of martial arts means that they are more flexible and changeable. For my father, I just used this shooting, and I didn't remember a few moves.
"Well... how to practice?" Qin Mubai asked confusedly.
"It's very simple." Qin Shubao smiled coldly and stared at Qin Mubai, "Fight with me and teach you hand in the actual battle!"
"It's another battle! ..." Qin Mubai was a little dumbfounded, and there was a feeling of bone pain from many places on his body.
"Stop talking nonsense, get on the horse!"
......
Two hours later, it was dark.
Qin Mubai dragged his almost crippled body back to the room. Seeing him like this made Liu cry for a while.
"Old ghost Cheng drinks too much and doesn't care. Why is your father so cruel?"
Although Qin Mubai's whole body was full of broken bones, he was full of joy and happiness. He clenched his mother's hand and said in surprise, "Mom, you should be happy!"
"How can I be happy to see my son beaten like this? My son, haven't you been beaten dumb? Liu wiped her tears and sobbed.
"Mother! Didn't you see that my father's condition has greatly improved, and he can ride a horse and a gun?!" Qin Mubai said in surprise.
Liu was stunned and suddenly looked happy: "Yes! I'm so stupid that I forgot this layer - child, I asked my fourth sister to serve you with medicine. I'll go to see your father and see how he is!"
"Mother, go!"
After sending off his mother, Qin Mubai lay down sadly, and his body was in pain!
My father really didn't brag. Now at most, his legs and feet have regained a little mobility, dragging a sick body that is still not healthy and flexible, and his shooting skills are much more subtle and domineering than Cheng Zhijie's!
At this time, Qin Mubai was thinking that according to the standards of some acting novels, the ranking of good men assessed by the value of force is obviously illusory in real history. Such as Yuwen Chengdu and Luo Cheng are all fictions of novelists. Like them, more than half of the "Eighteen Men of Sui and Tang Dynasties" do not exist at all. Even people like Li Xun can be portrayed as half-demon and half-immortal military masters such as Zhuge Liang, which shows the rich imagination of ancient novel writers.
Only Qin Shubao's bravery is unparalleled, which is really in line with the novel and is well known all over the world - the Qin family's halberd 12 and the second grade Shangzhu Guowu official is the best proof.
The twelve-sided square halberd specially given by the emperor is used to commend Qin Shubao's great achievements! The second-grade martial arts officer of "Shangzhu Kingdom" is directly a supreme "battle hero" medal, and there is only Qin Shubao in the whole Zhenguan Dynasty. And the emperor said to everyone in public more than once, "The world's fierce general, uncle Bao Jukui!"
At this time, Qin Mubai has also read a lot of books, including the history of the field and the notes. According to many canon records, when the war pacified the world, whenever there was an enemy general in the enemy's battle, Li Shimin ordered Qin Shubao to take the lead and demoralize the enemy first. Qin Shubao has always lived up to his mission. He has won the head of the enemy general in the army, and he has done it more than once or twice. When attacking Wang Shichong, Qin Shubao inserted his usual iron gun into the city to demonstrate. Wang Shichong's general sent several pawns to pull out the gun, but it was not pulled up. A few days later, Qin Shubao came, and he easily pulled out his gun in full view of the public and left. The enemy army was stunned, and a group of people dared not come to chase Qin Shubao alone!
Another most powerful proof is that the palace of the Tang Dynasty still contains the eight-foot iron gun that Qin Shubao used in the war. Whenever a foreign guest is invited or a court banquet related to martial arts is held, the iron gun will be taken out for observation and appreciation.
The gun used by Qin Shubao is eight feet long and cast by fine iron. It weighs dozens of pounds, which is not consistent with any wooden handle gun made in the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, according to the current practice, a gun of more than eight feet should be called "shuo". It is a metaphor for Cheng Zhijie, which is an eight-foot horse (one foot in the Tang Dynasty is about 30 centimeters now).
But Qin Shubao said that he used a gun, so it was a gun!
People all over the world, from emperors to civilians, also call this gun "Qin Gun", representing the strongest martial arts in the world in the Tang Dynasty!
"The tiger father can't have a dog. It seems that I still have to practice martial arts hard! As Cheng Zhijie said, even if you don't fight the enemy in the future, it's good as a settled capital. Qin Mubai thought to himself, "I don't know what my father thinks about my job-hopping? He and Cheng Zhijie have been old figures in the battlefield for decades. They are more experienced than me, and their vision is more vicious than me. They are both ready-made good teachers. I'll ask him about this tomorrow..."
Soon, the fourth sister Shuang'er came and put ointment on Qin Mubai. Qin Mubai also likes this cute and considerate girl more and more. The brother and sister talked for a long time, and the topic was naturally inseparable from Li Ke. At first, Qin Mubai was a little unpredictable about what happened between her and Li Ke, thinking that her sister was wishful thinking about Cinderella's love for Prince Charming. Through his relationship with Li Ke these days, he found that the romantic Li Ke did have sincere feelings for his sister.
"Why has the father refused to agree to the marriage between them? In addition, I have never seen Princess Yang in the royal palace, and I have never heard Li Ke mention it. Where is the wife of the king of Wu, and what kind of person is the number one?
Many questions began to rise in Qin Mubai's mind. He secretly thought that he would figure out these things one by one in the future. If you have promised your little sister, you have to find a way to do it. It is also a good thing to make a lover finally get married as an adult. What's more, my partner is still my own sister.
At dawn the next day, Qin Mubai, who used to get up early, was still sleeping soundly, and the door was knocked.
The sound of the door is sonorous and powerful. Obviously, the person who knocks on the door does not use his hands, but sticks and so on.
"Who?"
"Why don't you get up?" It's actually Qin Shubao.
"Dad? Come right now!" Qin Mubai's eyes drilled out of the warm quilt, and he couldn't talk about washing his face and coughing. He put on a dress and came to the backyard horse court with his father.
Qin Shubao was still walking on crutches and said with a serious expression, "My son, how can you lose to someone else's son in the martial arts competition? If the emperor chooses troops to serve as guards, you must win the first place!"
"Oh, father, do you know? The child is still going to discuss this matter with you. Qin Mubai said.
"When you were in a martial arts competition with Cheng Yaojin, Li Xun told me." Qin Shubao said.
"It's him..." Qin Mubai was a little surprised and thought it was Cheng Zhijie who told his father.
"No nonsense, you just remember that you have to win the championship." Qin Shubao said in a low voice, "Your archery is not very worried about your father. But your immediate kung fu is really bad. From today on, you will spend all your time practicing martial arts. When you are on a job in the royal palace, don't fool around with Li Ke, where there are sergeants Wufu, who compete with them in martial arts; when you get home, if Cheng Zhijie comes, you can ask him for advice; at other times, urge yourself for your father!"
"Yes, the child should obey. But father, your body..."
"This is not what you should worry about." After a pause, Qin Shubao still said, "After practicing Tai Chi and drinking medicinal wine, especially after relaxing his mind, his father's body improved greatly. Although it is still far from recovery, it has recovered at least one or two or two.
"That's good..." Qin Mubai breathed a sigh of relief and nodded happily. Then he asked, "Dad, you seem to have a good opinion about the King of Wu?"
"Absolutely not." Qin Shubao said firmly, "On the contrary, I think he is a very good young man. In many ways, he is much better than you.
"Why are you, father..." Qin Mubai thought for a moment and decided not to mention his sister for the time being. He said, "Like Uncle Cheng, do you want me to leave the Wu Palace?"
"The reason is very simple." A strange light flashed in Qin Shubao's eyes and said in a low voice, "Ammany of the emperor's many nephews, Li Ke can actually be said to be the most like the emperor's majesty. His blood is also the most noble, and he has a good reputation among the government and the public. He is smart, capable, talented in literature and martial arts, and he is ambitious. Even the emperor personally praised him as 'Yingguo me'.
Qin Mubai finally understood the meaning of his father's words and nodded and said, "But Wu Wangke is a concubine. Compared with the direct prince, the king of Wei and others, his status is the lowest, but he is the most capable and close to the emperor in the eyes of everyone. Therefore, his advantages have become the fate of his brothers' fear and jealousy, right?
"Not bad. It seems that you still understand something." Qin Shubao said, "Now, the prince is unworthy. The emperor prefers the king of Wei and seems to have a great desire to abolish it. Because of this, the princes and kings are a little ready to move, and their intention to seize the throne is obvious. Although Li Ke's performance is not too obvious, he has always been the most sharp among the princes. In particular, many old ministers seemed to see the shadow of the emperor when he was young. Therefore, Li Ke is definitely an eventful master. Even if he has no intention to keep a low profile, it will inevitably become an obstacle in the eyes of other princes. The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop. Wu Wangfu is destined to be an eventful place! Do you still need to hold him tightly and go through the mud?"
The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop?!
Qin Mubai's mind was introspected: A few days ago, Li Ke also said this to me!
It seems that the fact is indeed as my father said - the battle for the throne in the court has begun, and Li Ke has also been affected.
This is indeed a dangerous signal. Throughout the ages, whenever such a thing happens, there will always be a large number of people falling down in the end. Once the emperor and the minister, the successful prince, it is impossible to allow his former political opponents to stay in the world and pose a threat to himself.
In the same way, it is not uncommon for brothers to kill each other, and even to kill their children with his own hands like Wu Zetian. Hasn't the Xuanwu Gate of this dynasty witnessed the most famous mutiny with his own eyes? At that time, Li Shimin was not only as simple as killing his brother and destroying his brother to force his father to prism. Even the children of the two brothers were not left. Even if the baby was still infancy, he cut down the grass and eradicated with a knife!
On the other hand, if Li Jiancheng and others succeed, Li Shimin will also end up like this.
Most of the friends who followed Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji in those years were also an inextricable ending. After all, the "enemy" of the former prince like Wei Zheng and the "enemy" left by Li Shimin, who cherished talent, is a minority.
Seizing the throne has always been bloody, and there is no kindness and luck. No wonder his father and Cheng Zhijie unanimously asked Qin Mubai to stay away from the king of Wu to take office with the emperor. They have personally experienced the changes of Xuanwumen, and naturally have a deep understanding of the benefits.
"Father, I see." Qin Mubai said, "Although Li Ke has a good personal relationship with me, he treats me well, but in terms of the overall situation and major interests, I don't have to take the initiative to put in my life and the honor and disgrace of my family because of this private favor."
"You can think so to prove that you do have some wisdom." Qin Shubao nodded with satisfaction, "My father just said that from a personal point of view, I actually like Li Ke very much. But in the overall situation, I hope you can stay away from him. Isn't it good to have a logical opportunity to leave the Wu Palace now? This will not offend Li Ke, nor will it appear that we are ungrateful. After all, working for the emperor is much more meaningful than following the King of Wu, and Li Ke won't say anything. And you also need to grasp the personal relationship between you and him.
"Well, I will be measured carefully. Father, don't worry." Qin Mubai answered the promise and thought to himself: I'm afraid this is also the reason why his father refused to marry the fourth sister to Li Ke... He thinks that he is a sharp and eventful master, which may harm the Qin family in the future.
"Okay, that's all. The conversation between our father and son cannot be told to any outsider. Since you are smart, you should be able to think of everything. Uncle Qin raised his eyebrows and shouted sharply, "Go on horse and practice martial arts!" You must strengthen the weak points such as riding and shooting and horse guns in the shortest time, so that you will win the first place in one fell swoop when the emperor chooses to fight! Otherwise, you can roll up the bedding and get out of the Qin family by yourself. From then on, change your name and don't say it's my Qin Qiong's son!"
"Yes, father!"
