Love Affairs in Chang'an - Chapter 122
Chapter 122 Pond Non-Material
Xue Rengui had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a square face. His pair of eyes were like a cold pond in late autumn. The waves were calm, deep, and deep. In terms of size, he was on par with Qin Mubai. Although he was dressed in plain white cloth with patches of flowers, it was difficult to conceal the martial arts aura that naturally emitted from his body.
Everyone present had a common feeling that this person in front of them was definitely not a thing in the pool! How could an ordinary destitute villager have such a carefree and calm bearing?
Hearing Qin Mubai’s opening remarks, Xue Rengui should have been shocked, but her expression did not change at all. She still clasped her fists and said, “Your Excellency calls me that, but you recognize me? Please forgive my clumsiness and forgetfulness. I can’t remember where I met you for a while.”
“This is the first time we’ve met, but I’ve heard so much about your name.” Qin Mubai did not lie, but he immediately began to make up nonsense with a smile on his face. “Not long after I came to Jiangzhou, I heard that there are geniuses in the Dragon Gate who hide in the countryside and shoot swallows. Didn’t that mean you?”
“Oh?” Xue Rengui blinked a few times in surprise. “I’m the next grass-dweller. Who would have thought that someone would recognize my name?”
The meaning behind Xue Rengui’s words was very clear. Without introducing him, he could tell that Qin Mubai, who was standing in front of him now, was either rich or expensive, and was definitely not an ordinary person. From the looks of it, it seemed that he had come specifically for him, so Xue Rengui’s heart was filled with suspicions.
Qin Mubai smiled casually. “Brother Xue is quite wary of us. Let me tell you this. We were two subordinates earlier this morning. We didn’t recognize Zunyan for offending you, so we specially brought them here to apologize to you.”
The two minions behind Qin Mubai were stunned and almost vomited blood. But the boss had already thrown these words out, how could they dare to say anything else? Thus, he endured his grievances and walked forward. He clasped his fists and bowed to Xue Rengui neatly, “Strong Xue, we have offended you!”
“How dare you? I am arrogant and reckless. I am condemned to death, I am condemned to death!” In this situation, how could Xue Rengui have the nerve to hold a hostile attitude and hurriedly clasped his fists in return?
“Brother Xue, you must be very surprised about my identity and background right now, right?” Qin Mubai chuckled and said, “I’ve just arrived at your house. Madam Meng won’t give up. She promised to entertain us for dinner. Haha, Brother Xue, these two disappointing subordinates of mine haven’t returned to Dayan. We’re still hungry. Do you mind if I go to your mansion to grab a meal while I’m salivating?”
‘”This” Xue Rengui smiled awkwardly. His face was actually a little red. Then, he laughed loudly, “If the honored guest didn’t hate the humble house’s grass and the poor diet, then please treat him!”
“Alright!” Qin Mubai happily clapped his hands, “Let’s go!”
Xue Rengui turned around and picked up Fang Tianhua Halberd and walked over to Qin Mubai and the others. She pointed forward and said, “Honored guests, please!”
Qin Mubai sized up the Fang Tian Painting Halberd and said, “Divine Weapon!”
“Brother, you’re ridiculously praising me … I’m down and out, and my only possession is this weapon.” Xue Rengui smiled a little ashamed. “Therefore, even if he was so hungry that his head and eyes went blurry, he wasn’t willing to pawn it.”
“Heroes don’t ask where they came from. Don’t bully young people into poverty.” Qin Mubai smiled and said, “Brother Xue is now a Tiger Falling Pingyang Dragon Traveling Shoal. There is no need to belittle yourself.” With Brother Xue’s ability, there will definitely be a glorious day in the future! This lowly one is a commoner who is mixed in the official circles. He doesn’t have the slightest ability, but he has made a few friends who can be in charge. Brother Xue, if you want to use your reward, I can recommend you. However, I wonder if Brother Xue is willing to make this secular friend of mine? ”
Xue Rengui was confused. She didn’t know why this strange stranger in front of her was so enthusiastic towards him, a poor man. However, the other party clearly did not have any malicious intentions. He was one without wealth and two without a name, and there was nothing for the other party to seek. Moreover, reaching out to not hit the smiling person was not a bad thing, and having more than one friend was not a bad thing!
Thinking of this, Xue Rengui laughed heartily, “I haven’t had a friend or friend in my poor life, and even my relatives have kept me at bay. I’m willing to make friends with you if you don’t abandon me today!”
“Good, Brother Xue is straightforward!” Qin Mubai grabbed Xue Rengui’s wrist and laughed loudly, “Hurry up and leave. I’m really hungry. I really want to taste the goose chowder cooked by my wife!”
Seeing Qin Mubai taking Xue Rengui’s hand and striding forward, the few soldiers were stunned. “What happened to the general today? He thought that he was here to help us find this fellow’s misfortune, but why did he make us apologize and make friends with him?” He murmured.
Chen Yan held onto her sword and expressionlessly said indifferently, “Thanks for following him for so long, I can’t tell. Your general is a person who loves talent and cherishes talent. He has taken a fancy to this Xue Rengui’s martial arts talent, so he condescends to befriend him. He only wants to take it for his own use.”
“Then there’s no need for us to be so aggrieved, right?” A soldier curled his lips in dissatisfaction and said, “Hundred Cavalry is the royal subordinate. It’s not even worth being beaten up by a country villager, yet they actually apologize and apologize to others. If this were to spread out, it would greatly damage their reputation!”
“Humph!” Chen Yan sneered with disdain, “So if he can be a general, you can only be pawns for the rest of your lives.”
“What do you mean?!” The pawn glared at Chen Yan angrily and shouted.
“Use your brain to think!” Chen Yan said carelessly as she walked forward. “Being polite and humble towards weak kindness is what a strong person should have. Didn’t you see that Xue Rengui was instantly dragged close by your general? This is like, I don’t want to bully you now. But it’s not because I want to get close to you, but because I disdain you. ”
“You! … stinking bitch!”
“But what she said … seems to make sense. My general has never bullied a weak person. He has always been very polite and considerate to us, but an arrogant person like Changsun Huan has lost his temper because of him. No wonder all the brothers in the camp are convinced of him …”
A short while later, in Xue Rengui’s cave dwelling.
“So you are the famous Baiji Qin Mubai?” Xue Rengui was surprised when he heard Qin Mubai declare himself. He looked up and down at Qin Mubai in disbelief and cupped his fists. “How disrespectful! I’ve heard of Qin Mubai’s name in Chang’an for a long time. It turns out that I always thought that Qin Mubai was a strong man in his forties. I didn’t expect that he would be so young, two years younger than me!”
‘”Haha! I only borrowed the family’s fortune from my father. In addition, I have good luck, so my career is relatively smooth. It can only prove that I was reincarnated well. In terms of talent and learning, I am far inferior to Brother Xue.” Qin Mubai smiled.
“General Qin is too modest.” Xue Rengui said, “Although I am from the mountains, I have heard a lot about the Hundred Cavalry. If I did not possess outstanding talent, it would be a delusion to enter the Hundred Cavalry, let alone to become one of the Hundred Cavalry Envoys.”
At this moment, Chen Yan sneered and said, “Two grown men, one speaking and one speaking. They flatter each other for being modest and not vulgar. Brother, why don’t you just tell yourself that you want to give Xue Rengui a background and let him go with you? If he wants to, then it would be good if he wished to. If he doesn’t want to, it wouldn’t be a bad thing to get to know each other and be friends.”
“Haha! You’re still straightforward!” Qin Mubai slapped her thigh and smiled, “Brother Xue, my foster sister’s words are what I want to say. How about it, consider it?”
“This” After all, it was a little sudden, and Xue couldn’t handle it for a moment.
Everyone present stopped talking and quietly looked at Xue Rengui.
Rengui Xue’s wife, Madam Liu, stepped forward and said to Rengui Xue, “Rengui, don’t you often sigh and say that talent is rare?” Although this lowly concubine had never seen the world before, it seemed that General Qin was not a bad person. Now that the noble lady has taken the initiative to come and sincerely help you, didn’t you agree to it? In the future, you will rely on your own ability to make a career. In this life, you will also be able to repay your kindness. At that time, you can also repay General Qin’s kindness to you. ”
“Sister-in-law, there’s no need to persuade him Qin Mubai smiled and said, “As the saying goes, a man is afraid of entering the wrong line and a woman is afraid of marrying the wrong man. This matter concerns Brother Xue’s future. Perhaps his life will undergo tremendous changes. Whether it is expensive, cheap, good or bad is only known to the heavens. It is good for him to think about it more.”
‘”General Qin, this lowly one feels terrified for showing so much love. I should have immediately promised to thank you for your kindness … But just as the general said, it’s about Xue’s life. Can I think about it carefully before giving an answer?” Xue Rengui clasped his fists and said seriously.
“Alright. I’m not in a hurry, nor am I urging you to move after a wise man has made up his mind to do so.” Qin Mubai nodded and smiled, “Brother Xue, come and find me whenever you have thought it through. I will probably stay in Jishan County for the next month or two, so it will be easy for you to find me. If I leave, I will return to Chang’an. If you inquire a little, it will be easy for you to find me.”
“Alright. General Qin is a famous person. I will definitely be able to find you if I visit you.” Xue Rengui said with a grateful and slightly ashamed expression, “I apologize, General Qin. I … have to think it over before I can answer you.”
“It should be.” Qin Mubai smiled calmly and said, “If it was me, an unfamiliar stranger would suddenly come looking for me and say that he wanted to show me a way. I would also hesitate. Brother Xue, there’s no need to be anxious. Just like my adopted sister said, if you want to, then it’s good to be wishful thinking. If you don’t want to, it’s not a bad thing to get to know each other and be friends.”
“Good! No matter what, I will make friends with General Qin!” Xue Rengui raised a bowl of wine and laughed heartily, “General Qin, please, I’ll toast you with a bowl!”
“Brother Xue, are you still calling me General?” Qin Mubai smiled and said, “Since we are friends, there is no such thing as superiority or inferiority between us.”
“Alright, Brother Qin, please!-Everyone, please!”
“Fuck!”
After dinner, Qin Mubai and the others bid farewell to Xue Rengui and returned to their own place.
‘”That Xue Rengui is too ignorant! A poor man in the mountains is actually so arrogant! The general wants to bring him to the Hundred Cavalry Stage, but he still has to consider it! What kind of place does he think the Hundred Cavalry Stage is? Who in the world doesn’t want to get into the Hundred Cavalry Stage Stage? This person must be either an idiot or a fool!” The Hundred Cavalry Soldiers finally couldn’t help but burst out with resentment and cursed.
“What do you know!” Qin Mubai shouted. Everyone stopped talking and retreated.
Qin Mubai thought to himself, if the Hidden Dragon was as easy to catch as the Loach, then he wouldn’t be a Hidden Dragon!
