Love Affairs in Chang'an - Chapter 23
Chapter 23 Old Demon Cheng
Qin Mubai was knocked over for the seventh time.
Immediately after, it landed on the ground for the eighth time.
Ninth time, tenth time …
After more than twenty times, Qin Mubai fell to the ground and was unable to get up. Mrs. Liu, who was far away, also began to cry in distress. Cheng Zhijie chuckled and threw the gun away from his horse.
He pulled Qin Mubai up from the ground and smiled, “Hehe, it’s actually not bad.” I, Old Cheng, have practiced for more than thirty years, and I have traveled countless times in the pile of dead people to reach this level. If you could beat me now, then there would be a ghost. However, I see that your aptitude is not bad, and each time, your progress is more and more obvious. More importantly, Ning would rather die than admit defeat. This personality is very similar to your father! Practice hard and have a bright future! In the future, when I have time, I will often come and give you pointers! ”
All the bones in Qin Mubai’s body hurt. He grinned bitterly and nodded, “Thank you, Uncle Cheng … nephew will definitely practice martial arts in the future!”
It’s impossible not to train hard! If one day he encountered another Cheng Biting Gold-like figure, and he refused to show mercy, wouldn’t he be stabbed with tens of millions of transparent holes in his body? ! Now, he couldn’t use a May 4th pistol to defend himself …
‘”Who the fuck said that the ancients would definitely not be the people they are now?” Just say that this Immediate Martial Arts and Spear Techniques, how many modern people dare to say that they can defeat Cheng Biting Jin? ”
After watching the liveliness, Li Ji nodded and smiled, “Second Brother Qin, Sanlang is quite good. He has talent and tenacity. You must nurture him well. Perhaps there will be more generations of famous generals in the Great Tang.”
“Haha, this is all my son has.” Qin Shubao smiled and said.
“Little brother still has some military affairs to hand over to the Emperor. Please take your leave first. If you have time in the future, come to Second Brother Qin’s place to get drinks.” Li Ji cupped his hands to bid farewell.
“That’s good too.” Qin Shubao nodded and said, “Duke Mao’s military affairs are busy and his business is urgent. If you have anything to do, you may as well come and sit and catch up.”
“Farewell, little brother.” Li Ji cupped his hands and said goodbye to Cheng Zhijie before leaving.
“Sanlang, go change your clothes and drink with your Uncle Cheng.” As soon as Qin Shubao finished speaking, Madam Liu and Qin Shuang’er ran over with heartache and pulled Qin Mubai away.
Cheng Zhijie laughed heartily and clapped his hands. He walked to Qin Shubao’s side and said, “Second Brother Qin, your Sanlang is more promising than you were back then!”
“What do you mean? You also tested it just now. Isn’t his martial skill terrible?” Qin Shubao asked.
“Haha! What year is it now? A peaceful and prosperous era! Do you think you still have to lick your blood with your saber like we did back then to earn a living?” Cheng Zhijie said, “Besides, we’ve fought on horseback for our entire lives, and now we may not be better off than others. Let’s not talk about the distance, just call this old brat Li Ji! He’s a cute and smooth person. How could he be such a big official and lead so many troops?”
“Then what do you mean?” Qin Shubao smiled.
“This kid from your family is smart and has a good perception!” Cheng Zhijie said, “Just as I was competing with him in spear techniques, I was able to tell the boy’s temperament.” His marksmanship was very rusty. Obviously, he hadn’t fought hard with anyone before, so it was impossible for him to be that powerful. However, I can tell that every time this kid falls down, his spear technique will improve by one level, and there will be fewer flaws. His spear technique will also be much more mature and stable. If it weren’t for a smart person, would he have improved so quickly? This kind of person is desperate with his brains. Unlike us, he relies on strength! ”
“Haha, you old bastard!” Qin Shubao laughed heartily, but did not comment. I thought to myself, Is my own son smart or stupid? Do you still need to tell me? Not long ago, I saw clearly what happened to Wu Meiniang. That brat is a monster!
“Hehe, I might be staying in Chang’an for a while. Do you mind if I come to your mansion every day to beg for wine?” Cheng Zhijie smiled and said, “I like Mubai. If I have time, I’ll teach him martial arts spear techniques! No matter how talented he is, he can’t do it without someone to guide him! Second brother, your body is inconvenient, let me do it!”
“Alright!” Without saying a word, Qin Shubao agreed. He laughed loudly and said, “Do we still need to split up? My home is your home, and my son is your son. Whatever you want, that’s fine!”
“Haha, Second Brother Qin is still happy!”
The bruised and swollen Qin Mubai returned to his room, causing Madam Liu and Qin Shuang’er to shed tears for a long time. It took a lot of effort to persuade them. After changing his clothes, he came to the front hall again. Cheng Zhijie was having a drink with Qin Shubao, but he did not dare to drink that kind of strong liquor anymore. Instead, he switched to an ordinary Great Tang light liquor.
After drinking and chatting for a while, Cheng Zhijie bid farewell to leave. Before leaving, he staggered and grabbed Qin Mubai, “Kid, send him to your uncle. I drank too much!”
Qin Shubao watched the two of them walk out and chuckled, “Old bastard, don’t talk to me if you have something to say.”
Qin Mubai helped Cheng Zhijie into the carriage and left the Qin Mansion. Cheng Zhijie spat out a burst of alcohol, his eyes shining brightly, and he said, “Saburo, have you heard of Yuan Tiangang?”
“Is that the alchemist Yuan Tiangang, who is known as a Half Immortal and knows how to face each other and criticize lives?” Although Qin Mubai did not know much about history, this person had heard of it in the end. It’s famous!
About his legend, history has gone to sea. It was said that he had given Wu Meiniang a face when she was a child, saying that if this person was born a man, it would be the fate of an emperor, and everyone would know about the history afterwards. In addition, there were many honorable officials who had their lives approved in person, and none of them were unfulfilled. However, the most famous thing was probably the “push-back diagram” that he and Li Chunfeng had deduced to predict history, and even the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom uprising a few years later had been deduced.
These legends were mysterious enough that science could not explain them at all, but they were the truth!
“That’s right, it’s that bullnose.” Cheng Zhijie said, “He met your father a few years ago.”
“What do you mean?”
Cheng Zhijie’s thick eyebrows knitted together and he said, “At that time, he said that your father was valiant and invincible throughout his life, and that he did his best to win glory and glory from the sect. However, he did not have a life to enjoy. He was half paralyzed and half disabled, and he died at fifty.”
“Fifty?” Qin Mubai was stunned. “Isn’t that next year?”
“Let’s just wait until next year. We’ve even calculated the time of year.” Cheng Zhijie sighed heavily and said, “On the 17th of the first month, at midnight.”
Qin Mubai was stunned, “Isn’t that just over a month?” … Do you believe me, or don’t you believe me?
“Believe it or not, I really don’t want to believe it, but that Old Monster Yuan’s face-to-face life approval has never been missed.” Cheng Zhijie sighed heavily and said, “You should teach him a lesson in filial piety! I specially invited Li Ji to visit him today because I wanted to spend more time with him before he died. Your father doesn’t know about this, so don’t tell him.”
“I see” Qin Mubai nodded, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.
“There’s something else I want to tell you.” Cheng Zhijie said, “Practice your martial arts well!” According to the news from the palace, the emperor was preparing to set up a personal guard unit to guard the imperial palace and listen to the emperor’s orders. Personnel, mainly from the meritorious officials of the sect and officials of the nephew, choose the most outstanding martial arts talent to take on. This is a rare opportunity. Being able to work beside the emperor is much better than you being in King Wu’s Mansion now. Moreover, the current Prince’s Mansion was not easy to deal with. Clouds and waves of strange undercurrents surged, and it was too dangerous for a few princes to openly compete and secretly seize it. “That Li Ke is a very sharp and troublesome master. If you can avoid him, then you can!”
“Thank you, Uncle Cheng!” Qin Mubai cupped his hands and bowed. He felt a burst of gratitude in his heart-no wonder he borrowed wine to pretend to be drunk today to test my martial arts skills. It turned out that he was intentionally instructing me to change jobs and work next to the Emperor!
This Cheng Biting Jin was truly an old demon who was as wise as a fool and concealed himself!
“There’s no need to thank me. Your father and I are blood brothers. We’re even closer than blood brothers. If you’re his son, then you’re also my Old Cheng’s son.” Cheng Zhijie grinned and patted Qin Mubai’s shoulder. “During this period of time, I will show you your spear skills whenever I have time.” Actually, your father’s marksmanship can be said to be unparalleled in the world. Unfortunately, his legs and feet are inconvenient now, so I have no choice but to take over. “I’m not expecting you to really kill many enemies on the battlefield in the future. It’s all to deal with the Emperor’s selection of soldiers in the near future. Do you understand?”
“Nephew understands! Uncle Cheng cares so much about his life, nephew feels deeply in his heart!” Qin Mubai solemnly cupped his hands in thanks.
When Qin Mubai returned home, he bumped into a servant. It was said that after Qin Shubao told him to come back, he went straight to the backyard polo court.
What are you doing there?
Qin Mubai came to the backyard suspiciously and saw Qin Shubao standing in the courtyard with his back cut off with one hand. He did not lean on a walking stick, but was staring at him with a gun in his hand.
His waist was straight, and his entire body stood upright like a spear!
Qin Mubai walked over in surprise and asked, “Father, what are you doing?”
Qin Shubao’s face was flushed with excitement as he looked like this. He did not look like a person who had run out of oil and only had a month to live!
“Father has been studying that set of Taijiquan for a long time. I have been practicing it in my room for more than a month. I have a lot of sincerity.” Qin Shubao stroked his long beard and said forcefully, “I thought that this fist technique was indeed quite exquisite. I tried to fuse it with the Qin Family’s spear technique and create a new set of horse spear technique-practice it now. You can watch from the side!”
“What?” Qin Mubai couldn’t help but be a little shocked, “Father, your health is not good and your legs are inconvenient. Why don’t you let it go?”
“Nonsense!” Qin Shubao’s eyebrows sank and his eyes shone brightly. “What do you think is inconvenient about father now? Hmph! Although he is no longer as brave as he was back then, I’m afraid it will be hard to determine the outcome of a battle between the Horse Leaping Spear and your Uncle Cheng! Stand here and watch!”
With that, Qin Shubao shook his robe and personally pulled a horse over.
“See it clearly!”
With a deep shout, Qin Shubao galloped away.
People were like lightning, horses were like rainbows, divine weapons descended from heaven, spear techniques were like gods!
Qin Mubai was completely stunned.
