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

Chapter 254 Chapter 240
Tie Niu laughed and said: "Brother, you are too thoughtful, it's like this, we can go out with them, but we don't even have a title, so we won't go.

After a while, Qiu Tianbao came, and I told him to ask his father to play the role of the emperor, so that we can become famous as teachers. "

After a short time, Qiu Tianbao really walked in from the outside again.

Tieniu looked at Qiu Tianbao and said: "Brother Qiu, your brother has a difficult situation. If we two brothers know about it, we can't ignore it. Just now we two brothers have made a decision. What is it called when we two brothers go with you?" The place of Dulong Pass.

However, our brother and I are no longer here in the military, so this matter is not easy to handle.

Brother Qiu, if your father and son want us to help you, you can ask your father to play the role of the emperor, otherwise we will not only fail, but also fall into disrepair. "

Qiu Tianbao was delighted to hear this.

"You two virtuous brothers, are you really willing to do this favor for our father and son?"

Tie Niu laughed and said, "Is there any need to talk about it? If a friend is in trouble, if we refuse to help, then what kind of friend are we?"

Qiu Tianbao thought for a while and said: "You two virtuous brothers, do you still need to report this matter to the emperor?
It's just such a big deal, wouldn't it be over if you just follow us? "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Brother, don't you understand? Although we are not officials in the court now, how can we say that our two brothers are also the bannermen under King Yang!

After all, this official position also belongs to the middle-ranking officer. If we two brothers go out privately, we will have no way to register with the army at that time. Let alone, if King Yang blames him again, then we two brothers will not be in the army. Isn't it human anymore?
Brother Qiu, you can figure it out, if the emperor agrees, then we will go.

If you find it troublesome, then we will ignore this matter. "

Qiu Tianbao thought for a while and said: "Well, what you said is also reasonable, let me talk to my father and king before making a decision.

Two virtuous brothers, since you have made this request, well, I will go to my father right now, he happens to be in the residence right now.

It's up to his elders to decide.

You guys rest here for a while longer, I will come as I go. "

After finishing speaking, Qiu Tianbao turned around and went out.

Tieniu looked at Duan Wuji and said, "Brother, do you think it's done?"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Success is successful, not failure, we don't owe them anything anyway.

If we become brothers, we will help them. If they think we are that trash, let's get out of here after dinner.

We will not come to this place from now on. "

Tie Niu nodded after hearing this.

"Well, brother, that's a good point. We'll just have to wait and see."

Qiu Tianbao left the study, hurried straight to the back hall, entered his father's study and saw his father was sitting at the table with his brows furrowed and worried.

When the old prince saw his son coming in, he asked absent-mindedly, "Bao'er, you look so flustered, what can you do?"

Qiu Tianbao looked at his father and said: "Father, my two friends came over just now, I planned to take care of their meal and send them away.

Unexpectedly, my two friends heard about our family and expressed their willingness to go out with our father and son.

However, they made a request. They said that they are now the banner chiefs under the patron king Yang Lin, and they are also the military officers of the court.

If our father and son are willing to take them with us, we need to report to the Holy Majesty and obtain the consent of the court.

Father, what do you think should be done about this matter? "

Prince Qiu laughed and said, "Bao'er, how are your two friends' martial arts skills? Do you understand this?"

"Father, I don't know much about this, but the martial arts of these two people is probably better than mine.

I know this, if it is that incompetent person, I will not come to you now. "

"Oh? So that's the case? If that's the case, then I'll lead them to the imperial official. After all, there's no harm in having two more people to help.

The day before yesterday, I went to the Tongtian Monastery, and asked the Taoist priest Chongxu in the temple to do a divination. He said that this time I will be able to turn bad luck into good fortune, and make disaster auspicious.

He also said that I will have noble people to help me this time.

I was thinking about this just now, but unexpectedly someone is willing to help us!

I can't blame Daoist Chongxu for being called a living god!

Tianbao, don't be dazed, and quickly invite your friends over.Let the father see them too. "

Qiu Tianbao immediately turned around and ran out when he heard it.

Not long after, Qiu Tianbao led Tieniu and Duan Wuji in.

When the two of them saw each other, they quickly knelt down to salute the old prince.

"Secret Boss, younger nephews Duan Wuji and Duan Tieniu will see you Boss."

The old prince looked down and saw two sturdy young men kneeling on the ground.Everyone is not very old, and they will not go beyond the age of 20.

The old prince hurriedly left his seat and stretched out his hands to help!

"You two nephews, please hurry up, this is not the army, this is home, what kind of etiquette do you have at home? Sit down quickly.

Two virtuous nephews, when our family is in crisis, you are willing to stay and do your best to each other. You friends, my old Qiu's family is settled.

Two virtuous nephews, why do you two have to report to the Holy Majesty for this expedition? "

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "Wang Chitui, both of us are the bannermen under the old Qiantui Yang Lin, the backer king. Although we live idle now, we have official positions after all. Once Yang Wang Qiantui finds out about this , if the blame comes down, wouldn't it be impossible for us to argue!

Besides, we don't even have a military registration here, so once you have military exploits, it's hard for you to report it! "

The old prince smiled and nodded.

"Are you guys thinking in the long run, um, that's indeed the case.

Well then, nephew Erliang, you can immediately follow me into the palace to face the saint, Tianbao, you can also go with me.

I used to think about losing, but what if I win?It will indeed be a problem when the time comes.

Well, get your horses ready, let's go now. "

People made a little preparation and immediately rode straight to the emperor.

In front of the palace gate, Lord Qiu waved his hands at everyone.

"You wait here first, and wait for me to enter the palace to face the saint. If the emperor calls, I will come out and call you."

After finishing speaking, Lord Qiu walked straight towards the Golden Palace.

After entering the main hall, I saw that the civil and military officials had already dispersed, the old emperor was still crawling on the Longshu table to review official documents, and several eunuchs and maids were waiting beside him.

When the old prince saw it, he quickly knelt down and saluted.

"Under the wall, I have this performance."

The old emperor saw that it was Changping Wang Qiu Rui.Hastily waved his hand.

"Brother Wang, get up quickly. Didn't you lead the army to set off early the morning after tomorrow? What's the matter with the lonely king now?"

"Under the wall, I'm leading the army this time, and I plan to take the dog with me, so that we, father and son, can take care of each other on the battlefield.

In addition, two of Gouzi's friends, one is Duan Wuji and the other is Duan Tieniu. These two people are now the bannermen under the patron king, Brother Yang, and they are both at home now. If you are willing to go with me, I will look forward to your kindness. "

The old emperor smiled and said, "What do I think it is? It turned out to be such a trivial matter. Well, let's play."

Qiu Rui listened and said with a smile: "Under the wall, this matter is not big or small, if my brother loses the battle and dies in the battle, it doesn't matter.

But in case the younger brother is going to win a big victory, isn't there still a matter of reporting military achievements?

Under the wall, you said that this matter involves military merits, do you think this matter is still small? "

The old emperor smiled.

"Brother Qiu, can you blame you for being called the Ever-Victorious General? It turns out that you have considered such a small matter!

Well, that's good, the drafting officer wrote an imperial decree, allowing three people to go out with the army, and if they have merit, they will be rewarded according to their merits when they come back. "

In a short time, an imperial decree was written, and the old emperor stamped the jade seal and handed it to Qiu Rui.

"Brother Wang, you have to win this battle no matter what. The Turks are nomads. Everyone can ride horses and everyone can shoot arrows. Such a nation is really difficult to deal with.

I fought against them ten years ago, alas, that was more defeat than victory!

Brother Qiu, this time I put all my hopes on you, so don't let me down! "

"Don't worry under the wall, with me, Qiu Rui, there will be that Dulong Pass, and I will never let that barbarian step into this Dulong Pass.

Otherwise, I, Qiu Rui, will come to see you. "

"Okay, what the lonely king wants is your words, Brother Qiu, if you have nothing to do, go to the palace with the imperial edict."

Qiu Rui put away the imperial decree, saluted the old emperor, turned around and left the hall.

Qiu Rui retreated excitedly, and several people hurriedly asked after seeing him: "How is it, has this matter been done?"

Qiu Rui laughed out loud.

"Can such a trivial matter be done? Isn't it true that the emperor has even issued an imperial decree, let's go, let's go back to the mansion to celebrate."
