Love Affairs in Chang'an - Chapter 145

Chapter 145 Return
Fishing is a painstaking task that requires patience. It is the most important test of a person’s mental stability. If it was an impatient and flirtatious person, he probably wouldn’t like fishing.

Dao Sect Li had been an outstanding commander, and he was still strolling around amidst thousands of troops. This quiet bearing was something that no one could compare to. When he was fishing, he was like an old monk meditating, neither saying much nor moving casually. He was extremely focused. As for Chen Yan, she needn’t say that he was an outstanding swordsman. He had been training to endure and wait for opportunities since he was young. She could lay in ambush for a day and night waiting for a flash of killing intent. Fishing was just a child’s play to her.

Qin Mubai had always been a calm person, and Zhusuiliang’s calm cultivation wasn’t weak either. The four of them sat on the boat and fished separately. Apart from the tea and bait that the little boy occasionally served the four of them, there was no other movement.

Qin Mubai thought to himself, could it be that Dao Sect Li really invited us here to fish? Or is he trying to observe our character by fishing?

Moments later, Li Daozong and Chen Yan started fishing separately, catching about two and a half feet of crucian carp each. The four of them started to laugh. Feng Dao had some fresh fish soup to eat tonight.

In northern areas like Jinzhou, it was not easy to eat a meal of fresh fish. People in the Great Tang dynasty disliked pork dirt very little. Southern fish and Northern sheep were good dishes, while northern fish were more expensive. However, carp could not be eaten because it was homophonic to the royal family’s “Li”.

“Fish is a good thing!” Li Daozong finally opened his chat box and chuckled. “In the early years of the war, there were no rations left. But in the lakes, he would teach the soldiers to go down to the river to fish. First, he wrapped his belly. Second, fish is also a good dish. This king has a passion for fish. There are tens of thousands of good fry from the south in this lake, but it took a lot of effort.”

“Your Highness’s fishing skills are quite exquisite.” Zhui Suiliang said, “To be honest, this is my first time fishing. It’s just strange. Could it be that my bait stinks? That fish doesn’t come to bite? It’s clearly the same kind of earthworm, right?”

“Haha, Mr. Zhui, there’s no need to be anxious. Take your time. There will definitely be fish biting the hook.” Dao Sect Li smiled and said, “The things in the world are often the same. The more impatient you are, the more likely it is that an opportunity will come.” Qin Mubai, you are a general. You should know that weapons are unpredictable and water is unpredictable. Most of the time, the enemy and I are like fishing, competing for patience. “Whoever loses his temper first will lose, and even his little life will be at stake.”

“Your Highness is right.” Qin Mubai replied, “It’s just a pity that I can’t listen to your highness every day. Otherwise, I will definitely benefit a lot.”

“Don’t learn from me. I have nothing to teach you.” Li Daozong said, “You are a talented person, and you will definitely have great achievements in the future.” Since you have entered Rong Wu, you must learn military techniques. One person’s courage can defeat ten people at most, and a hundred people. A peerless hero like your father can only intimidate a thousand people at most. If he learned a good art of war, then he would be a great hero who would shake the world and sweep away thousands of troops. This king’s army has never seriously read a military book for half his life. Everything he learns and uses comes from the battlefield. ”

“Reading ten thousand books is better than traveling ten thousand miles. Everything in His Highness’s stomach is the truth. It’s better than talking on paper by tens of millions of times.” Qin Mubai said.

“Too much praise!” Dao Sect Li laughed loudly, “If it comes to the use of force, I only admire two people in my life. One is my royal brother, the current Emperor; the other is Apothecary Li!”

Zhui Suiliang said, “I have been ordered by my father to join the army for many years. I have heard rumors that His Majesty was invincible when he swept the world with his horses. Apothecary Li Jingli, Duke Wei, is the famous’ Army God ‘of the Great Tang Dynasty and is known as a victorious general.”

“That’s right.” Li Daozong said, “These two are the most outstanding commanders of our Great Tang. Compared to them, this king is like a firefly compared to a bright moon. The Crow is facing a phoenix. Qin Mubai, you are still young. You should learn more. You should not be overwhelmed by your skills! If you intend to learn military techniques, I can recommend you to him.”

Hearing this, Qin Mubai, Zhui Suiliang, and Chen Yan couldn’t help but be moved in their hearts at the same time. The King of Jiangxia was purposely showing goodwill!

“If Your Highness is willing to help me, it will definitely be a blessing for me in my next three lives.” Qin Mubai hurriedly put down the fishing rod and cupped his hands.

“Don’t put it down, grab the fishing rod and fish properly!” Li Daozong chuckled. “There’s no need to be so serious. This king is only recommending him. This king has a very close personal relationship with Medicine Master Li. He is idle at home because of his leg illness. Isn’t he just a follower? He’s almost seventy people. Is it better to teach a few more good students to the Great Tang so that he can serve the country in the future?”

Qin Mubai couldn’t help but take a deep breath and recommend me to Li Jing? This knowledge would be great! Don’t tell me that after learning the art of war, I can become so awesome? It’s hard to say whether the people in the peaceful era will have the chance to fight. But as long as I learn the art of war from Li Jing, then I will be the successor of the “military god” of the Great Tang Dynasty and recommended by the commander-in-chief, Li Daozong. Doesn’t that mean that I am the rising star of the “military”?

The Great Tang was a country that respected martial arts and valued military merits. Whoever had high military merits could be used heavily. Dao Sect Li took the initiative to recommend me to Li Jing. That would undoubtedly greatly enhance my status and give me a strong political capital that every general in the world dreamed of!

Zhui Suiliang seemed to understand the meaning behind Li Daozong’s words and said inadvertently, “I have heard that Li Jing accepted two disciples to teach him the art of war. One is Su Dingfang, and the other is Hou Junji.”

Li Daozong chuckled, “Su Dingfang is a general, and Hou Junji is not bad. However, Old Beard will definitely not regret accepting Qin Mubai.”

The old beard was obviously Li Daozong’s nickname for Li Jing. It could be seen that the two of them were indeed very close. What he meant was that Qin Mubai would be slightly stronger than Su Dingfang and Hou Junji in the future.

Zhui Suiliang smiled and said, “Su Dingfang has been following Li Jing for many years and has always been a legacy. Hou Junji was originally a famous general and was ordered by the Emperor to teach Li Jing military arts. Your Highness, please forgive me for saying more. Li Jingwei has always been extremely cautious. If it weren’t for the Emperor’s order, he wouldn’t have easily accepted disciples to teach him military arts.”

‘”Soldier, the lethal weapon of the country, Li Jing should be so cautious and careful. This person’s God of War can be said to be unparalleled. If anyone obtained his true military inheritance and used it to help the world and the people, then it would be fine. If he used it to conspire against the country, wouldn’t it be a disaster for the country?” Li Daozong said, “However, Li Jing will definitely be happy to accept Qin Mubai. Furthermore, the Emperor will not have any objections. Of course, it would be best to ask for the Emperor’s consent.”

“Your Highness is so thick, I don’t know why I should repay you.” Qin Mubai didn’t know what to say. He wasn’t very interested in such a thing as the art of war. It wasn’t that he despised the military wisdom of the ancients. In his previous life, he was at least a graduate of the National Defense Science University. If he hadn’t discovered his specialty in shooting in the army, he would have become a commander and soldier.

In the school, he had indeed learned a lot of military works from ancient times to modern times, both at home and abroad. That was the essence of military knowledge that Li Jing and the others had been exposed to for more than a thousand years. Although Qin Mubai had never fought on the battlefield, his theoretical knowledge was still very strong.

Therefore, what really made Qin Mubai optimistic was the golden sign “Li Jingsheng”!

Li Jing was an outstanding military commander in the Zhenguan Great Tang Dynasty and throughout Chinese history. In the present chastity temple, Li Jing was a household name-the victorious general of the Great Tang Dynasty!

If Qin Shubao was the War God who led the way, then Li Jing was an irreplaceable War God! The War God could only serve under the command of the War God and was forever shorter than him. This was something Qin Shubao had already admitted!

If he could become Li Jing’s disciple, he would undoubtedly have a foothold in the Tang army-just look at Su Dingfang and Hou Junji and you’ll know who of them isn’t the famous military tycoon of today?

“You should know how to make good use of others. It’s only right to admit talents.” Li Daozong chuckled and said, “Qin Mubai, your talent is not bad. You are a good material. If you encounter a master teacher, you will definitely become a great weapon. If you are willing, I will match them up. I can convince both the Emperor and Li Jing. The prerequisite is that you sincerely pay attention to your studies and are determined to protect the country, the people, and be loyal to the Lord!”

“Thank you for nurturing me, Your Highness!” Qin Mubai answered without a word!

“Then you agree? Alright, haha!” Li Daozong laughed heartily for a few times before suddenly reaching out to his mouth and shouting, “Alright, let’s not quarrel with the fish anymore. Let’s talk at the dinner party! If we catch more fish, we’ll have some fresh soup tonight!”

Everyone chuckled and stopped talking.

Chen Yan had been quietly sitting beside Qin Mubai fishing. At this moment, she smiled and handed him a look. “As expected, you guys are really like-minded.”

Qin Mubai smiled back at her and focused on fishing.

However, in his heart, there was a bit of excitement!

Who would have thought that coming to Jiangzhou this time was just a favor to Li Daozong with Li Ke, and that he would obtain such benefits!

He remembered that his father had mentioned more than once that if he wanted to achieve anything in the path of Rong Wu, he would have to learn military techniques! Joining the army was actually the same as being a Congshi. The Great Tang Empire cared about family background and background, and it was the same for joining the army! After all, there weren’t many people who could obtain fame in a lifetime like him, Qin Shubao, by relying on his flesh and blood. More people had already become ghosts before obtaining these fame.

Only by respecting a master teacher, learning military techniques, raising one’s status, and being able to make contributions on one side can one stand out from the rest!

If he could really join Li Jing’s sect to learn military techniques … the benefits would be endless!

“Is this a reward from the Li Dao Sect? Or am I a member of the official military faction from now on?” Qin Mubai thought to himself.
