The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 104: Chapter 0
Since Duan Wuji came home, he has always stepped up his practice day and night, running for tens of miles in the morning, and after returning, he is either practicing big stick, swordsmanship, or boxing kung fu.Start to practice internal strength at night, and practice until the second half of the night as soon as you practice.

Duan Yanqing saw that his youngest son was working so hard, and couldn't help feeling distressed. Duan Yanqing said to his eldest son, "Longsheng, do you know why your brother practices so hard?"

Duan Changsheng thought for a while and said, "That's needless to say? One is that Erdan has too much energy, and the other is that he likes to practice martial arts. Daddy, are you right?"

Duan Yanqing shook his head after hearing this.

"Longsheng, you are only right about a small part. What you said is just a superficial phenomenon. Don't look at your brother who is joking all day long on the surface. In fact, your brother is very serious.

Longevity, have you thought about it?Why did Shan Xiongxin give our family so many things this time, so much money? "

Duan Changsheng blinked his eyes.

"Isn't that how much money their family has? Did our family save his life again?"

Duan Yanqing shook his head with a smile.

"Longsheng, you are so old, why don't you have a brain? With your intelligence, I think your book is useless.

Just based on your two actions, do you still dream of becoming an official?Changsheng, let me tell you, when Shan Xiongxin came this time, I could see that he had a sad face, and you have seen the few things he brought to our family.

This time when Wuji came back, why did he give our family so many things?Don't you think about the reason for this?

You see, your brother went out this time, and your brother Tie Niu, went home without a weapon and got it back. The two brothers went out with a weapon, they must have gone to help Shan Xiongxin settle something.

Didn't I talk to them when you saw them go?

Your brother is now living the days of licking blood on the tip of a knife, can he do it if he doesn't practice kung fu diligently?Once he misses, his life may be gone. Does he dare to study hard?

Changsheng, in fact, your brother is suffering in his heart. Both of us, father and son, have no skills. This family is supported by the money your brother earned, and father feels uncomfortable.

This time when Wuji and Tieniu went out, I often dreamed that they were killed. Every time I woke up, I was so scared that I was sweating. Fortunately, everything was a dream.

It is said that mothers who travel thousands of miles are worried, but I am also worried as a father!Longevity!It's going to be the autumn harvest soon, you have to arrange the work in the field well, don't climb on your brother for any work! "

Duan Changsheng nodded.

"Father, I know about these things. Don't worry about it when you are old. We brothers will not fight over some work."

Duan Yanqing nodded in satisfaction.

Duan Wuji stayed at home for about a month, and during this month, Duan Wuji stepped up his practice around the clock.

This morning, Duan Wuji had just come back from a long-distance race, and was about to enter the house to rest for a while, when suddenly there was a rush of horseshoes outside the door.

After hearing this, Duan Wuji thought to himself: Who is this friend who came to visit me again?Let me go out and have a look.

Just as Duan Wuji walked to the gate, he saw that Chai Shao came in from outside leading Chai Huo and leading the horse.

Duan Wuji saw it and said with a smile: "Brother Chai, why are you free today? Brother Chai, what fragrant wind brought you here?

Brother Chai, you two, please come inside quickly. "

Saying that, Duan Wuji snatched Chai Shao's horse reins and tied it under a big tree, then took Chai Shao's hand and walked straight towards the house.

As he walked in, Chai Shao looked at Duan Wuji and said, "Brother Wuji, we haven't seen each other for half a year. Brother Wuji, you have grown a lot taller! Well, you look much better than before. .

It is said that women's colleges have undergone eighteen changes, and the more they change, the more beautiful they become. Looking at it today, that is not the case at all.

This man is also a man with eighteen changes, the more he changes, the better he looks!For example, brother you are. "

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this.

"Brother Chai, you can really talk. I look good just like me? Don't make me happy, brother. I know what I look like. Although I look like me, it's not terrible, but Not much better.

Brother Chai, please come inside. "

Duan Yanqing saw Duan Wuji walking in with Chai Shao.

He quickly stood up and said, "Master Chai, sit down quickly, come on, sit down and drink some tea first.

Wuji, there are some snacks and fruits in the inner room, quickly take them out for Mr. Chai to eat. "

With a promise, Duan Wuji went straight to the back room, and immediately brought out two plates of snacks and one plate of fruit.

Chai Shao saw it and said with a smile: "Wuji! Don't be so busy, we have had breakfast in the morning, and we are not very hungry now."

Duan Yanqing saw it and said with a smile: "Young Master Chai, you don't have to be polite when you come to our house, you can eat as much as you want, a few pieces of dim sum won't last you anyway."

Duan Yanqing grabbed the firewood.

"Little brother, sit down quickly. Why are you being polite when you come here? Come on, sit down and have tea together."

Chai Shao saw that the hospitality was hard to turn down, so he had to greet Chai Huo with a smile and said, "Chai Huo, since the master has already spoken, why don't you just sit there and eat something?"

When Chai Huo saw that his son-in-law had spoken, he stopped being polite and sat down next to Chai Shao, eating snacks and drinking tea.

Duan Yanqing saw it and said with a smile: "Young Master Chai, you guys talk first, I'll let Changsheng go to the town to buy some things and come back, and by the way, I'll call some of Wuji's little brothers over, let's have a good get-together."

Chai Shao laughed and said, "Uncle, you are really understanding! In fact, I mean the same thing."

Duan Yanqing went to the study and said to Duan Changsheng: "Longsheng, that Chai Shao came today, and I don't know what's the matter.

You go to the town to buy some food and come back. By the way, go to your third grandfather's house and tell Changhong and the others to ask Tieniu to come over together. "

Duan Changsheng nodded.

"Father, don't worry about this matter, I will take care of it right away."

After speaking, Duan Changsheng immediately took the silver and walked out.

Duan Wuji accompanied Chai Shao while drinking tea and chatting, the two of them chattered and finally got to the point.

Chai Shao looked at Duan Wuji and said with a smile: "Brother Wuji, I have good news for you. The money owed to us by the left-behind envoy will be paid soon. This is definitely good news."

Duan Wuji was very happy when he heard it.

"Really? This is great. Do you know when it will be given to us? It's more than half a year old who owes us, so it's time to give it to us."

Chai Shao laughed and said, "Who said no! To be honest, in fact, the left-behind envoy, my old father-in-law who came here for the first time did not plan to give us the remaining money.

A while ago, my father-in-law secretly sent out three or four groups of people secretly to buy horses from the Turkic, guess what?Almost all those sent out were killed by the Turkic people, and only one person ran back desperately.

My father-in-law lost more than [-] taels of silver at once, but he didn't sell a single horse back. He also lost hundreds of warriors' lives these few times.

My future father-in-law was really helpless, so he remembered us again.

Hey, there is really no way!

Brother Wuji, if the guardian envoy gave us money, would you still be in this horse business? "

Duan Wuji listened and looked at Chai Shao.

"Brother Chai, people like us are just profit-seeking shrimp. It doesn't matter if we sell horses or not. If we don't, you can do it yourself! Wouldn't you be able to earn more money then?"

After hearing this, Chai Shao smiled wryly and said: "Brother, to be honest, if you don't do it with me, if you let me do it by myself, I really dare not go alone. It's not that I don't have the money. It's that I fear for my life.

Brother, you said you put your life on the line just to earn this money, so what's the point of earning this money?

Brother, are you right? "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "That's your old man! You are my relatives, will he cheat on you?"

Chai Shao laughed out loud.

"Brother, why are you so confused? Isn't my wife married yet? If I die, won't he betroth the girl to someone else?
Even if I betrothed to you, I don't know when the time comes.

Brother, I have figured this out a long time ago, brother, I will not do such stupid things. If I am gone, the most pitiful thing is my parents. They are old and helpless, and they will definitely be lonely in the future. "

After finishing speaking, Chai Shao lowered his head.

At this moment, Duan Changsheng walked in with his things, Duan Changsheng handed the things to Wang Jinhua, and greeted Chai Shao with a smile.

It was not long, there was a neighing outside the courtyard, and the Tieniu, Duan Changhong, Duan Changhao, and Duan Changqing arrived on horseback.

Four people walked in excitedly.

Seeing Chai Shao, Tieniu came forward and hugged him, and said affectionately, "Brother Chai, I miss you so much, why did you come here.

Brother, if you come here this time, you have to stay for a few more days. If you come and leave on the same day, then I will not agree. "

Chai Shao laughed when he heard this.

"Brother Tieniu, don't tell me, I really don't have anything to do in the past few days. It just so happens that none of you brothers are allowed to leave. We brothers are learning martial arts together these few days. .”

Tie Niu laughed out loud.

"Okay, Brother Chai, let's do it like this. Let me see if Brother Chai has improved his martial arts in such a long time."

Chai Shao looked at Chai Huo.

"Brother Chai Huo, you can ride back now, bring me my big gun and bow and arrow, and tell the master and wife at the same time, just say that I will live here for a while, and tell them not to worry about it, come back if you have anything to do calls me.

Do you hear me clearly? "

The firewood listened and nodded.

"Young master, don't worry, I understood it a long time ago."

After speaking, the firewood turned around and walked out.

Duan Wuji saw him and hurriedly said: "Brother Chai, why are you in a hurry? Tell him to eat before going back?"

Chai Shao laughed and said: "Brother Wuji, don't worry, he won't be hungry, he has money on him, besides, isn't it still early? There is still an hour and a half before the meal, what are you eating?" In a hurry?

Brother Chai Huo, you have to go and come back quickly, don't come back in time for dinner! "

The firewood nodded, turned around and ran out.

Tie Niu also stood up when he saw it.

"Brother Chai and Brother Wuji, we didn't bring any of our weapons, so let's hurry back and get them.

Brothers, don't be dazed, let's go back and get it now, and tell the parents at home by the way, so that they don't worry about it.

Brothers, let's go now. "

The three brothers Duan Changhong, Duan Changhao and Duan Changqing stood up quickly after hearing this, and then bowed their hands to Chai Shao and Duan Wuji.

"Brother Chai, Brother Wuji, rest first, we will come as soon as we go."

After finishing speaking, the four brothers came to the yard and immediately untied their horses, and immediately hit the horses and ran straight to their home.

Duan Wuji greeted Chai Shao and said: "Brother Chai Lai, come, come, let's drink tea."

Chai Shao looked at Duan Wuji and said: "Brother Wuji, you are not simple! Are you the leader of their brothers?"

Duan Wuji smiled wryly after hearing this and said: "Brother Chai, what are you kidding about? I am the youngest among our brothers. They are all my brothers. How dare I be a leader with them?"

Chai Shao shook his head with a smile.

"Brother, it's not true for you to say that. Am I a fool when you think of me as a brother? Brother, I can't even see this? Then brother, I will be in this society for nothing.

If you talk, the brothers will listen to them. If this is not the boss, what is this? "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Brother Chai, you don't know, our brothers are like brothers, we have a very good relationship, they only give me some face when I say something."

Chai Shao laughed and said, "This time we are selling horses. If you don't participate, I guess none of them will participate. If you participate, I think they will all participate. They all depend on your wishes.

Brother, you said brother, I was right? "

Duan Wuji listened and nodded.

"Brother Chai, things may really be as you said, and they may really see what I mean.

However, this does not mean that I am the leader? "

Chai Shao listened and said with a smile: "Brother, stop talking about me, come on, let's drink tea."
