Chapter 52 Invitation from the King of Wei

After listening to Qin Mubai's words, Qin Tong and Qin Bin looked at each other in shock, and Qin Shubao smiled.

"Did you both hear that? Sanlang has many insight. Qin Shubao nodded and praised, "My father has also considered these problems. There is also a reason why I show my heart to you today. Admittedly, it is not so easy to be a father even if he wants to come back now. Thinking that my father's influence in the army and past achievements, the emperor can't let me do a small official position, at least the general of the third grade or the commander who impeached one side. But in this way, it is bound to conflict with the military power of Li Xun and others, affecting the old military pattern and balance. Therefore, unless there is a sudden war, the army of the Tang Dynasty will be temporarily organized, and it is possible for the father to take the initiative to return to the army.

"What my father said is." Qin Mubai said, "But whenever there is a war, the government soldiers of the Tang Dynasty will gather and form a group of 'the marching road' in wartime. At that time, a lot of marching road commanders will be needed (equivalent to the commanders of the front line of the field army). At that time, it was the best time for my father to come back.

"What Sanlang said coincides with being a father." Qin Shubao nodded and smiled and said, "Your three brothers are all working in the palace, and the information must be well-informed. From today on, you all pay close attention to the military trends and return to me at any time.

"Yes, father!" The three brothers hugged Ying Nuo.

"Especial, Sanlang." Qin Shubao said, "You work beside the emperor every day, and the news you hear is the fastest and most accurate. As long as it does not reveal the secrets of the court and will not provoke the emperor's punishment, you must inform me as soon as possible if there is any news. Don't let your father down!"

"Yes, father." Qin Mubai bowed his hand and said to himself: Father, he is undoubtedly the most trustworthy person I can trust now.

After the family banquet, Qin Shubao, who was quite interested and in a good mood, also specially let Qin Mubai play the pipa, and the family entertained himself. He said that he didn't expect that Sanlang's apprentices were all over the capital now - the name of the blind banshee, even hid at home for his father. She is a good girl. Also, why did Wu Mei Niang go to business? At least she is the daughter-in-law of my Qin family. Why did she really show up to be a businessman?

Qin Mubai didn't say much. After the two brothers left, he explained the situation to Qin Shubao.

After listening to this, Qin Shubao just shook his head: "It's all God playing tricks on people."

Qin Mubai chewed the meaning of his father's words carefully and always felt that he was not so satisfied with Wu Mei Niang's daughter-in-law. It's not surprising that in the minds of the Tang people, businessmen are always lowly and have no status. Just like in modern society, the children of officials and eunuchs marry an uneducated local girl from a remote countryside. Although the slogan of freedom of love is loud, some people attach great importance to the door. Not to mention the Tang Dynasty, which attaches great importance to the origin of the door valve.

"If things turn around in the future, it's better for her to stop doing business. Although my Qin family is not rich and noble, there is no shortage of money to support her. Qin Shubao said.

"Well, when Mei Niang hasn't come to the door yet, the child will make a decision at that time. Father, don't worry." Qin Mubai could only reply like this, using a delaying plan first. More than a thousand years of generation gap, many ideas are deeply rooted in Qin Shubao's mind. Although he is a relatively enlightened father, it is unrealistic for him to suddenly change the concept he has formed for decades.

"Okay, let's not talk about it." Qin Shubao smiled and patted Qin Mubai on the shoulder, "Sanlang, you are busy now. It's rare to go home once. Have a good rest at home and spend more time with your mother and little sister. In the past three months, they have been thinking about you.

"The child knows it." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "I haven't competed martial arts with my father for three months, and the child also misses it. I heard from the two brothers that my father studied Taiji Qin gun at home all day long. He must have made great progress. The child is trying to ask for a thief!"

"Haha! What are you waiting for! While the wine is on the rise now, let's go and have a few comparisons immediately!" Qin Shubao suddenly came to the spirit and said with his eyes, "Don't say it. The more you study this Taijiquan, the more you feel that it is broad and profound. The boat rose high, and the Taiji Qin gun was constantly improved by me, which was much more powerful than three months ago - Sanlang, come quickly and teach you for my father!"

Qin Mubai was embarrassed: I said casually, and you took it seriously! ...Well, as soon as you get home, you have to be beaten!

The father and son came to the backyard horse court and had a gunfight as usual. Qin Shubao is not a person who likes to brag. He hasn't seen him for three months. His shooting is obviously very advanced, and he has reached an unpredictable situation. Originally, Qin Mubai's martial arts skills were already very good, and he also practiced hard for three months. However, after several rounds of fighting with his father, he was easily put down and lost.

"It's a mountain and a mountain! I want to reach my father's level, and I don't know how many years of hard practice it will take!" Qin Mubai said to himself with a wry smile.

"Sanlang, this shooting skill can not only be practiced." Qin Shubao said, "The most powerful shooting method in the world is the shooting method of killing people. Only when you go through countless rounds on the battlefield, experience the blood of life and death, and countless people die in battle and you still survive, your shooting is really successful!"

"Uh... I know my father." Qin Mubai could only shake his head and sigh, and thought to himself: It seems that my so-called "general" who grew up in peacetime, can't catch up with his father who has killed half his life on the battlefield no matter how to practice martial arts! If you practice, what martial arts are more powerful than the skills honed in actual combat?

After practicing martial arts, Qin Mubai returned to his room. His mother and little sister had been waiting for him here for a long time. The three of them chatted until late at night, and Qin Mubai finally had the most stable sleep in the past few months.

The next morning, when Qin Mubai, who had a lazy sleep, opened the window of the room, he saw the little sister Shuanger sitting alone on the small stone stool in the courtyard, holding a pot of fiery red flowers in her hand, and looking at it in a tlyze.

"Shuang'er."

"Third brother, are you awake?" Shuang'er came to her senses, smiled at Qin Mubai and knocked on the door, "Let me in!"

Qin Mubai opened the door for her to come in, and was immediately attracted by the flowers she was holding: "Shuanger, why did you keep such a pot of flowers?"

"Does the third brother also recognize it?" Shuang'er made a silent gesture, hurriedly closed the door, hugged the flower into the room and put it down. She smiled and said, "Dragon claw flower, beautiful!"

Qin Mubai looked at this pot of dazzlingly red and mysterious potted flowers and nodded: "I not only recognize it, but I also know many legends of this kind of flower. I also know that this kind of flower is an unknown symbol now.

"Yes, so I raised it secretly for fear that my parents would scold me if they knew, hey hey!" Shuanger wiped her nose and smiled proudly, "But I know that the third brother has always been the most tolerant and loves me the most. He won't scold me, will he?"

"You girl, it's good to brag and gag." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "I just want to remind you that the stem of this flower is poisonous. Be careful of poison."

"It doesn't matter." Shuang'er sat down, held her cheek, and said leisurely, "It's just that every time I see this flower, I think of someone. At that time, we often looked for this kind of flower that bloomed like a spark in the dark places outside Chang'an City. Now, I can't do it anymore."

Obviously, Shuang'er is thinking about Li Ke again. Qin Mubai sat down with a smile and said, "Shuanger, let me tell you a story. Do you know the name of this flower besides the dragon claw flower?

"I know, there are so many names." Shuang'er said, "There are cockroach flowers, old crow garlic, earth flowers, ghost flowers, mountain black flowers, flowers of life and death... In short, they are all ominous names, hum! I really can't figure out why such a beautiful flower has such an ominous name? Is it because he often opens in a cemetery? People really treat it unfairly!"

Qin Mubai nodded and smiled: "It also has a name, Manzhu Shahua. Have you heard of it?"

"Oh, I'm curious about this name. I've never heard of it."

"There is a story." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "It is said that it is a magic flower growing in the three rivers of hell. Its strange fragrance can awaken the memory of people's previous lives. Large pieces are open and red as blood. They stepped on the guidance of the flower to the underworld hell. Its color is like blood, breathtaking and stunning. Or because its deep and bright red color reminds people of blood and death, or because its bulbs contain highly poisonous, the beauty of Manzhu Shahua is the ominous beauty of demons, disaster, death and separation. That's why people gave him so many ominous names.

"Third brother, I know you're talking about a myth, but... Is beauty also wrong?" Shuang'er frowned and asked andly.

"You asked well. Of course, beauty is not wrong. Qin Mubai stroked his sister's head and said softly, "Like the relationship between you and Li Ke, it is very innocent and simple. But this relationship is not blessed, and lovers can also get married. So you think the fate of this flower is very similar to yours, so you like it, right?

"Third brother... You are so smart!" Shuang'er lowered her head and nodded slightly, "Why are there always so many unsatisfactory things in the world?"

"Third brother will tell you another story. It's also about this Manzhu Shahua. Qin Mubai said, "It is said that a long time ago, there was a place full of large areas of Manzhu Shahua. There are two goblins guarding here, one is a flower demon named Manzhu, and the other is a leaf demon named Shahua. They have been waiting for Manzhu Shahua for thousands of years, but they have never seen each other, because when Manzhu Shahua blooms, there are no leaves, and when there are leaves, there are no flowers, and flowers and leaves have never appeared at the same time. They miss each other crazily and suffer from this pain. Finally, one day, they decided to meet secretly against God's will. That time, the red and gorgeous flowers of Manzhu Shahua were set off by the eye-catching green, which was particularly enchanting and beautiful.

"I wish we were the two brave flower demons and leaf demons, even if they were just a momentary gathering..." Shuang'er's eyes were already hazy, and she sobbed gently.

"Later, God blamed him. Manzhu and Shahua were put into reincarnation and cursed to never be together. They suffered in the world for life. Since then, Manzhu Shahua is also called the other side flower, which means the flower that blooms in heaven. The flower is shaped like a palm that only prays to the sky. This kind of flower blooms on Huangquan Road. Every time Manzhu and Shahua are reincarnated and smell the fragrance of Manzhu Shahua on Huangquan Road, they can think of themselves in their previous lives, and then vow not to separate, and fall into the cursed reincarnation again and again without regret.

"What a great and steadfast goblin, what a tragic and sad story... Why are goblins more persistent and brave than people?" Shuang'er wiped her eyelids and muttered, "Also, why does God have to break them apart and let them be together, what will hinder him?"

Qin Mubai gently patted his little sister on the back to comfort her and said, "Shuanger, the truth is often so cruel and helpless. God has God's ideas, and there are rules in the world. Whether it is goblins or us, they are very small and helpless in front of gods and rules.

Shuang'er bit her lips and let her tears pour down, wet her face, and converged down from the side of her jaw.

"Although I am unable to fight, I would rather learn from the reincarnation of the goblin falling into the curse!" Shuang'er suddenly said, "It's just a pity... Even if I'm Manzhu, he's not Shahua."

After saying that, Shuang'er hugged the flower pot tightly and cried.

"Silly girl, don't be so sad and pessimistic. You forgot that you still have three brothers! The third brother will definitely find a way to help you.

"Thank you, third brother...woo-woo!" Shuang'er still couldn't stop crying.

When Qin Mubai was trying his best to comfort his crying little sister, the door was knocked, and a gentle voice said, "Third brother, why did you bully your little sister to cry in the early morning? ...Well, dragon claw flower, why is this kind of ominous flower planted at home?

Shuang'er jumped up in shock and ran out with a flower pot in her arms. As she ran, she said, "Second brother, don't betray me, or I won't pay attention to you anymore, and I won't make you a snack!"

The person who came here is Qin Bin, the second brother. Seeing this situation of his little sister, Qin Bin shook his head and smiled, "This girl has learned to threaten people... Well, did the third brother sleep well yesterday?"

"Vit's very good." Qin Mubai hurriedly welcomed the second brother into the room and sat down. He made tea and said, "The second brother came so early today. Don't you have to go to the Hongwen Museum?"

"There are few things to do in Hongwen Hall, and the stupid brother has always been very idle." Qin Bin sat down, tasted the tea gently and elegantly, and said slowly, "Third brother, Brother Yu came to you specially."

"Do you have any advice, second brother?" Qin Mubai asked.

"No. I was asked to send you an invitation. Third brother, please have a look." After saying that, Qin Bin took out a beautiful invitation with green grass and green and handed it over.

The invitation of this color is specially designed for calling friends for fun.

Qin Mubai opened his eyes and couldn't help frowning: "The king of Wei invited me to go to his house for fun?"

"Exactly." Qin Bin smiled with a deep smile and nodded.
