Chapter 25 Little Trick

In the next few days, Qin Mubai felt like a stubborn iron. First, he was thrown into the stove and burned red by inhumane, and then was beaten by the two savage old blacksmiths, Qin Shubao and Cheng Zhijie.

Practice martial arts in the school, shooting skills... Well said, it's actually beaten!

It was still beaten by two of the top martial artists in the Tang Dynasty!

Every bone seems to be broken. There is no place in the whole body that is not injured. It is common for Qin Mubai to have a blue nose and a swollen face, which often gives Qin Mubai the illusion that he has gained weight.

However, after thousands of times of hard tempering, the stubborn iron finally has a little feeling of "beginating steel". Under the crazy ** of Qin and Cheng pulling out seedlings to promote the duck-like madness, Qin Mubai's shooting skills, riding and other horse skills have made rapid progress. Now, he can even use Qin Shubao's new "Taiji shooting" to fight with Cheng Zhijie for more than a dozen or twenty rounds of horse fighting, and he will not be beaten off the horse so easily.

As for riding and shooting, archery is Qin Mubai's specialty. After becoming proficient in equestrianism, his skill has improved rapidly. In the end, Qin Shubao and Cheng Zhijie had to admit that "This boy's current archery, not to mention the first in the world, is at least very comparable to the peak. We two old guys are no better than him.

The court held a celebration banquet of "Pingding Tuyuhun" as scheduled, and Qin Shubao was invited to attend. Qin Mubai was not qualified to go to such a high-level place to get a cup of the soup, but he heard that the emperor used the "Qin fairy wine" he brewed to treat guests at the banquet, which caused a great sensation for a while.

Qin Shubao came back from the banquet and was in a very good mood, as if he was a teenager and recovered a little. It turned out that the emperor not only exhibited the "Qin gun" he used at the banquet as before, but also specially praised the Sanlang of the Qin family in public - "multi-talented, filial and benevolent; general Huzi, do not humiliate the court."

Obviously, the emperor intended to take the initiative to resolve Qin Shubao's heart knot and some unnecessary beams formed by Wu Mei Niang before.

"Sanlang, the emperor's heart is really not what we can imagine! Instead of hating you, he praised you in public. Qin Shubao said to Qin Mubai comfortably, "He praised your piano skills and wine-making, which are all secondary. But he specifically mentioned that you are a 'General Huzi'. Is this implying that you should not drill into the side doors of the camp rhythm and wine, but to concentrate on martial arts and prepare for the emperor's military selection in the near future?

"It's possible." Qin Mubai replied, "But your heart is unpredictable. We don't know whether the emperor is really relieved or wants to cover the mountain and shock the tiger. In a word, the child will act carefully. If the emperor has such a hint, it happens to reflect his heart that he is indeed a little unhappy about Wu Mei Niang.

"Oh, what do you say?" Qin Shubao asked in surprise.

"If the emperor is really implying that I should participate in the military election, doesn't he want me to leave Li Ke?" Qin Mubai said, "That is to say, he is somewhat dissatisfied with the matter that I mixed up with Li Ke this time, and he doesn't want me to be with him again in the future. What did you say, father?

"Well... it makes sense." Qin Shubao suddenly nodded, stroked his long beard and said, "You are still careful. Since the emperor has hinted like this, you have more reason to leave the Wu Palace and go to the emperor for an errand. Get ready to practice martial arts. If nothing unexpected happens, the emperor will deal with this matter after the Lantern Festival. There are still more than 20 days left. You have to hurry up.

"Yes, father." Qin Mubai answered the promise, but his heart was a little tense: Yuan Tiangan, the great god, calculated that the last day of my father's life was the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, so there were only more than 20 days left! But when I look at him now, he is getting better. What will happen then? This kind of mysterious calculation, I would rather believe that it is a fool...

The Spring Festival is only a few days away. In Chang'an City, the imperial capital of peace and prosperity, a little relaxed joy was added. From time to time, you can often see people from all families returning home from a large number of New Year's goods from the West City. The sound of firecrackers is often heard in the room. What makes Qin Mubai feel more interesting is that in Chang'an City, except for the Qin family, almost every family has two door paintings on the gate - Qin Shubao and Yu Chigong!

It turns out that this custom has been formed since the time of chastity.

After the change of Xuanwumen, Li Shimin, who had just ascended the throne, often fell asleep and had nightmares (probably the psychological shadow left by killing his brother and killing so many innocent little nephews), thinking that he was haunted in the palace. Therefore, Qin Shubao and Yu Chigong, the two fierce generals who killed countless people and were the most powerful and fearless of ghosts and gods, guarded the bedroom for the emperor all night in the Dutch League. Only then did Li Shimin sleep peacefully.

Later, because of his sympathies for his subordinates, Li Shimin could not bear to let the two love generals stay outside the bedroom all night, so he first left Qin Shubao's famous iron gun, which was inserted outside the bedroom to suppress it. Later, he ordered the painter to draw a portrait of the two and pasted it on the door of the bedroom to dispel evil spirits.

Whether the emperor really slept soundly after that, it was unavoidable. However, the historical upward and downward trend made the emperor's move quickly become popular among the people. A few years later, Qin Shubao and Yu Chigong, two living people, actually became the door gods of the people!

Compared with the hustle and bustle outside, the Wu Palace seems a little silent. This almost isolated place is now like a pool of stagnant water, which is difficult to stir up any waves. Li Ke closed the door all day long, and he didn't know whether those beauties had caused him aesthetic fatigue, and whether he was tired of enjoying those songs and dances.

Qin Mubai thought to himself that on the surface, Li Ke intends to hide his light and bid a low profile and be an indisputable prince. I just don't know what kind of thoughts he has in his heart?

By chance, Qin Mubai and Li Ke talked about Princess Wu when chatting. It turned out that Princess Yang, who had just given birth to a daughter, was weak and unable to travel. She still stayed in Anzhou to rest and did not come to Chang'an with Li Ke. People who listen to the gossip in the house say that Li Ke, the king of Wu, and the princess, have come together because of political marriage. They can't talk about love or indifference. They can only be described as "respecting each other". In other words, it's a little "uncomparate".

On this day, the royal palace issued New Year's benefits. Whether it was a general officer or a servant, everyone gave out a batch of mutton cloth and other New Year's goods, which was a happy scene.

Qin Mubai was distributing things to his military academy. Yin Yang, the brigade commander in charge of guarding the gate of the Prince's mansion, hurriedly reported that a man came to see Qin Mubai by name, claiming to be the second wife of the Wu family of the Duke of Ying.

"What will happen if Wu Mei Niang comes to me at this time?" After a little thought, Qin Mubai came to the door and saw the little maid.

As soon as the little maid saw Qin Mubai, she cried and shouted pitifully and anxiously, "Auntie, go there quickly!" The second wife is so miserable!"

"What's the matter? Don't cry. Make it clear!" Qin Mubai's heart was blocked and he asked.

"Woo-woo, my uncle didn't look at the Wu family for so many days. The Wu Yuanqing brothers bullied the second lady all day long, and the beating and scolding were still light. This is about to kill people!" The little maid cried so sadly.

"What? Is there such a thing? Against him, Wu Yuanqing!" Qin Mubai saw the little girl crying sadly, and expected that she did not dare to deceive herself. She was a little angry for a moment.

It happened that Yuwen Hongtai came over. Hearing Qin Mubai's low voice, he suddenly shouted an angry voice: "Head, I'll call a few brothers, hang up the Wu Yuanqing and beat him, peel his skin and cramp him! It's really against him!"

"Shut up!" Qin Mubai shouted at him in a low voice, stared at the little maid, made her scalp numb and retreat, and said, "Aunt, uncle, why are you looking at me like this?"

"If you dare to lie to me, you will be miserable." Qin Mubai snorted coldly. At this moment, although he was a little angry, he still did not lose his mind. In terms of reason, it is impossible for Wu Yuanqing to dare to bully Wu Mei Niang's sisters, mother and daughter and others.

"The maidservant and the maidservant dare not!" The little maid looked at a group of people wearing armor and hanging knives in horror. She trembled a little and said, "Aunt, you have to come quickly" and ran away.

"Well, little girl film, although her acting skills are not bad, this kind of brainless trick also wants to deceive me? I'd like to see what Wu Mei Niang lied to me. What did she want to do? Qin Mubai couldn't help sneering.

"Head, what should I do? Do you want me to call some brothers to clean up the simple guy surnamed Wu? Yuwen Hongtai was anxious and kept asking and urging.

"What you should do. I just need to go to Wufu alone. Qin Mubai drove him away, so he was too lazy to take off his armor and rode directly to the Duke of Ying.

The servants in the Duke of Ying's Mansion all knew Qin Mubai, and they were all trembling when they saw his fully armed shape. As the saying goes, it is better to provoke officials than bandits, and it is better to provoke bandits than to provoke soldiers. Qin Mubai's behavior obviously added a momentum of not being angry and powerful.

Qin Mubai asked someone to ask questions, and the servants replied that the owner and the second wife were playing on the horse court in the backyard!

"Play?" Qin Mubai snorted coldly in his heart: As expected, he lied to me! Fortunately, I didn't rush over aggressively with a big-headed soldier, otherwise I would be embozealous.

Originally, I was a little annoyed, but after taking a look at the polo in the backyard, Qin Mubai couldn't help laughing.

There is no contradiction in this family. It's simply "harmony"!

In the horse court, the net pocket pulled up by Qin Mubai when he came to play that day was still there. Wu Mei Niang took a large group of little maids and shouted to play the "shooting" game. The difference is that there is a goalkeeper today - Wu Yuanshuang!

Wu Yuanshuang, a big man, sweating and nervous cat on his waist, staring at the ball under Wu Mei Niang's feet with a bitter face, and the clumsy left and right branches did not know which side to guard. Hearing a coquettish rebuke, Wu Mei Niang kicked the ball over. Wu Yuanshuang shouted nervously and pushed his hands aside to block the ball, but the ball hit his face steadily and bounced away.

"Hahaha!" The women of Wu Mei Niang clapped their hands and laughed. Wu Yuanshuang covered his face and didn't come to his senses for a long time.

"Second brother, I didn't score this goal, which means you won! My little sister lost the same money to you!" Wu Mei Niang patted her hands and smiled evilly, "Come on, my little sister hasn't played enough yet!"

At the edge of the horse court, Mrs. Yang held her third daughter, who was only a few years old, and basked in the sun leisurely. The eldest son Wu Yuanqing, like a slave, lowered his eyebrows and poured tea and water beside him.

Qin Mubai frowned: Is this like Wu Mei's mother and daughter being bullied? I think it's the opposite!

When she walked over, Mrs. Yang first saw Qin Mubai and hurriedly got up and greeted him with a smile: "Is the virtuous son-in-law coming? I'm afraid you haven't been here for a long time, right? - Yuanqing, why don't you prepare a cup of tea?"

"Yes, mother." Without saying a word, Wu Yuanqing really quickly took the seat tea like a slave.

Qin Mubai picked up the corners of his mouth and smiled: "Mrs. Yang, what's going on?"

"Are you asking Mei Niang?" Mrs. Yang deliberately talked about him and said with a smile, "She is playing Cuju with his second brother!" She said, you taught her how to play, which is very interesting. What a penalty, the goalkeeper, I don't understand it anyway. Just because they have a good time.

Qin Mubai did not ask her. He glanced at Wu Yuanqing and saw him standing aside obediently with his head down. He did not squint and dared not come out, like a eunuch.

On that side, Wu Mei Niang and others also saw Qin Mubai and came to make a noise with a smile. Wu Mei Niang came over with a ball in her arms and said loudly, "Yo, isn't this my Mu Baifu? Wearing such armor, you really look like a hero!"

"So you mean, I'm not a good man?" Qin Mubai turned around and looked at her with a smile.

"See you, uncle!" A group of maids and maids fell down neatly. Qin Mubai's heart moved slightly: When did the Wu family have so many maidservant maids and bought a new one?

"Not bad, right? Mr. Mu Baifu." Wu Meiniang threw the ball with a bad smile and said, "I bought more than a dozen beautiful Meiji these days to play with me day and night. I'm so happy!" Would you like to try it?"

"Mei Niang, how do you talk?" Mrs. Yang cursed in a low voice. She shook her head and smiled bitterly and sighed, "Son-in-law, let's say goodbye and avoid it first. Let's talk about it!"

"Hmm..."

After Mrs. Yang left, the Wu brothers did not dare to leave. They stood aside neatly, like lambs to be slaughtered and bloodless eungers.

"Big brother and second brother, you can retreat first. I'm going to talk about business with my Mu Baifu. You have to arrange the dinner party well. Don't neglect my husband!" Wu Mei Niang proudly raised her beautiful little face and said loudly.

"Brother Fool knows... virtuous brother-in-law, third sister, brother fool, young companion." The Wu brothers answered Nuo in a low voice and left obediently.
