Chapter 177 Uninvited Guest

In the backyard of the Qin family, there is a battle between dragons and tigers. Xue Rengui and Cheng Zhijie have been fighting for dozens of rounds at the horse, and the two sides seem to be evenly matched. Cheng Zhijie fought more and more bravely and more crazy. Xue Rengui seemed to be a little behind in the situation of more defense and less attack, but he had been restless and did not show any defeat.

"Xue Rengui is hiding his clumsiness." Qin Shubao said with a smile, "This young man is honest, kind, and quite strong. Mu Bai, your martial arts must not be his opponent.

"I've known that for a long time." Qin Mubai said, "Father, according to the child's foolish opinion, Uncle Cheng may not be able to fight against Xue Rengui."

"Ha ha!" Qin Shubao smiled and said nothing. He stroked his long beard and narrowed his eyes to look at the fight in the field, and his eyes were a little sharper.

Qin Mubai said in his heart: Seeing this scene, I was a little excited to try. I wanted to play against one of Xue and Cheng, and my father must have been provoked to fight. It's just because of reservedness, it's not good to bully Xue Rengui and use the wheel to fight. If it hadn't been for Cheng Zhijie coming out to stir up the situation today, it must be my father, Qin Shubao, who is now in the martial arts competition with Xue Rengui!

Although it's a pity that I didn't see the duel between these two top warriors, the competition with Cheng Zhijie is enough to show Xue Rengui's strength!

Cheng Zhijie is one of the teachers who taught me martial arts hand in hand. I can't know his strength. I'm afraid that if I practice for another ten years, if he is ten years old, he will be better than him. However, at present, Xue Rengui is able to draw with him, but the actual victory or defeat is in his control. It's just that Xue Rengui's temperament is relatively modest, and he is too embarrassed to defeat Cheng Zhijie in front of everyone!

Cheng Zhijie, who fights in the field, is also an old martial artist who has been practicing martial arts for decades, and he is also an old man with exquisite heart. How can he understand Xue Rengui's strength and thoughts?

After fighting for more than ten times, Cheng Zhijie suddenly pulled his horse and jumped aside and shouted, "No more fighting, no more fighting!" I drank too much wine today, and I didn't have a few rounds of drunkenness. Now my eyes are a little dazzled!"

"General Cheng, the younger generation has been offended!" Xue Rengui hurriedly jumped off the horse and inserted Fang Tianhua halberd to make amends.

"Concession, concession!" Cheng Zhijie also jumped off the horse and laughed, "That's right, that's right, the little doll surnamed Xue. It's already very good that you can walk through more than a hundred in my hands without losing!"

"This is getting thicker and thicker." Qin Shubao shook his head and laughed.

Qin Mubai and Cheng Huaibi also knew that Xue Rengui was releasing water, and they couldn't help laughing a few times when they heard Qin Shubao's words.

Cheng Zhijie grabbed Xue Rengui's wrist and dragged him to Qin Mubai and others. He said grisantly, "Qin Sanlang, Xue Rengui is your friend?"

"Exact" Qin Mubai replied.

"Okay, it's really a gathering of all kinds of things. You are all ordinary young talents!" Cheng Zhijie opened his eyes and said, "Mu Bai, don't blame your uncle Luo Po. Even if you are a friend, you should stick a knife in each other's ribs. When I was young, when your father and I were young, there was a fight, a knife and a fight, a wine, a drink and a money to share, and a mother-in-law... Er, cough! What I mean is that you should help Xue Rengui. Aren't you a big red man in front of the emperor and a hundred horsemen with a lot of power in his hands? At the time when this new army is about to hire people, Xue Rengui's martial arts talents are so outstanding. Why don't you hire Xue Rengui to Baiqi?

As soon as Qin Mubai heard it, he was immediately happy: only Cheng Zhijie, who dared to think and say it, so bluntly! This sentence inadvertently stabbed the tacit understanding between Qin Mubai and Xue Rengui!

After hearing this, Xue Rengui quickly said, "Thank you, General Cheng, for your love. But the younger generation got up and was poor, talented and shallow, and dared to expect to work in the rate of the emperor's pro-guard? Brother Qin has taken great care of the younger generation, and the younger generation can't bear to cause him any more trouble.

Qin Shubao nodded with a smile on his face: "Xue Rengui, I can see that you are a low-key, calm, modest and kind person. But if you are born as a man, you should serve the country. Isn't it a pity that even if there is a reward and talent, but it is empty in Linquan or abandoned in the market? I really envy you now. I'm young and energetic. When you reach the age of my illness, you will regret why you didn't gallop and spend your life when you were young. I don't want to wait for Shaohua to be easy to do. Don't wait until the time and time and space of white head are sad and regretful.

Xue Rengui held his fist and replied, "The golden jade words of the two seniors are remembered in my heart. But the younger generation can't bear to cause trouble to Brother Qin anymore. Since they have arrived in Chang'an, they want to make a living with their own fists and feet.

"Ha ha!" Qin Shubao smiled and said, "Rengui, listen to me. Chang'an is indeed a good place, with an inch of land and an inch of gold. Every moment, countless people come to Chang'an with the dream of being promoted and making a fortune, but the real success is nothing more than one in a million. More people are just submerged in the vast sea of people, drifting with the tide. It's not that I look down on you, but there is a shortcut to take a long detour. Isn't this the fool's behavior? Heroes don't need to come from. I, Qin Qiong, was a grassy citizen in those years. After joining the army, with the military achievements accumulated through bloody battles, I had today's reputation. It's not that I, Qin, boast that most of the heroes in the world can enter my eyes, but I am very optimistic about you, Xue Rengui. In time, your achievements will not be under me. But Qianlong Tengyuan still needs to take advantage of the thunder. Now you are unknown and want to start from scratch. How easy is it to talk about it in Chang'an, the land of hidden dragons and tigers? Do you want to start with a soldier like I did back then? This will waste at least ten more years of your time! Moreover, when there are few wars in the Tang Dynasty, it is even more difficult for you to cut your head. If you mislead your life because of a momentary obsession and vanity, or waste ten years in vain, even I will regret it for you!"

Qin Shubao has always had few words and few such long talks. After saying this, Cheng Zhijie, Qin Mubai and others were deeply convinced and nodded frequently. Everyone is looking forward to watching Xue Rengui give a reply.

Xue Rengui was silent for a long time with a difficult face, and he didn't know how to answer.

Seeing this scene, Qin Mubai came out to relieve him and said, "Father, Uncle Cheng, Brother Xue does not disagree, but everyone has their own aspirations, and he also has his own difficulties and grievances. And not long after he came to Chang'an with his family, we should give him more time to get used to it. Don't worry too much.

Qin Shubao nodded with a smile: "What Sanlang said is reasonable. I also cherish him as a rare talent, so I can't help saying more words.

"Xue Rengui, Shu Bao has always been a person who never talks nonsense. You just met him for the first time and got such golden words. You are very lucky!"

Xue Rengui hurriedly hugged his fist and bowed: "Thank you, Duke Yi, for your kind words. I will never forget it!"

"Okay, don't be polite." Qin Shubao smiled casually, "Let's go back to drink!" Sanlang, you take Rengui and Wash to clean up your face. Let the kitchen change the wine dishes.

"Yes, father." Qin Mubai left with Xue Rengui and Cheng Huaibi first.

Cheng Zhijie came to Qin Shubao and smiled, "Brother, your Sanlang is growing up!"

"How to say this?"

"He has only been an official for a year, and he knows that he has wisdom to tie his brother with a pole." Cheng Zhijie laughed.

Qin Shubao smiled and said, "This Xue Rengui is indeed a rare young talent. I have talked about the imperial army for many years, and now it is just a false reputation, and it is difficult to really help Sanlang in the officialdom. He relies on his own ability to manage. As long as he doesn't have different ideas, there is nothing wrong with him. After all, officialdom is like a battlefield. Who can have few brothers? In those years, if we hadn't entered and retreated together, which one of us would have lived until now?

"It's true." Cheng Zhijie nodded with deep thought, "But my stupid son doesn't seem to think of this level. He only knows how to be an official and get a salary, and then eat around and wait for death. Well, if he is half clever, I don't have to worry about him.

"It's not true either." Qin Shubao frowned and said, "Sanlang, it has changed a lot in recent years since I left home to join the army, so big that I don't know him. I often think that I don't know whether he will be the lucky star of his ancestors in the future, or the evil of the whole family.

"My second brother, you think too much, don't you?" Cheng Zhijie grinned and said, "I didn't see you frown in the rain of knives and arrows in those years. Now why are you so bold? Isn't it that the longer you live, the more timid you are?"

Qin Shubao glanced at Cheng Zhijie and said, "You're not the same!"

"Where do I have it?!" Cheng Zhijie roared hurriedly.

"Then why do you ask to transfer to a foreign state or county and not continue to wander in the Chang'an court?" Qin Shubao sneered and laughed, "Isn't he afraid of being excluded by Yuchi Jingde and others, and hiding far away if he can't afford to provoke? Why don't you follow the temper of the past and give two transparent holes?

"Ha...haha!" Cheng Zhijie laughed and said, "Let's drink, let's drink!"

Qin Mubai, Cheng Huaibi and Xue Rengui, three young people, went to the kitchen together and took water to let Xue Rengui sweat. Qin Mubai said, "Brother Xue, you don't have to pay attention to what your father and Uncle Cheng said. They are just used to preaching like this."

Qin Mubai just didn't want Xue Rengui to bear any psychological pressure, so he was forced to join Baiqi because of his love. In this case, the twisted melon is not sweet.

Xue Rengui hurriedly said, "No, what the two predecessors said were all good words, which made me feel open. Previously, I may have been too stubborn. When I go back, I will reflect on myself.

As he was talking, a servant hurried to the front house and greeted Qin Mubai and said, "The third young master, please come to the front house to have a look. There are distinguished guests at home again!"

"Who are your distinguished guests?" Qin Mubai asked in surprise.

"It's not clear yet." The servant hurriedly said, "It's just that the appearance is not small. As soon as the man arrived at the door of the house, he was on the carriage. It must be a prince or a marquis!"

"It's strange. My Qin Mansion has always been so crowded. Why is it so lively today?" Qin Mubai smiled and handed over the servant to wait for Xue Rengui and Cheng Huaibi first. He said goodbye and went to the front house to welcome the guests first.
