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

Chapter 255 Chapter 240
A group of people followed the old prince Qiu Rui back to the mansion. Qiu Rui first ordered Qiu Tianbao to hand over the imperial decree to his wife for safekeeping.

Then, the old prince ordered a sumptuous banquet to be set up in the vestibule, and the father and son accompanied Duan Wuji and Tieniu while eating and chatting.

The old prince looked at Duan Wuji and Tieniu and said: "Wuji, Tieniu, thank you both for supporting Bao'er, come, let's drink.

Today is probably the last few meals we eat at home. I dare not say if I can eat it in the future.

There are so many people who died on the battlefield, who knows if we can come back after we go!

You should smile when you go to death on the battlefield, how many soldiers will come back! "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "The Wang family is a thousand years old, do you have any thoughts on this expedition?"

Qiu Rui shook his head blankly.

"Well, this king really didn't think about it, nephew, what do you think about this? Feel free to say it."

Duan Wuji thought for a while and said: "The Wang family is a thousand years old, what are the strengths of our Han soldiers? What are the weaknesses?"

The old prince thought for a while after listening to his long beard and said: "Our Han army is mostly peasant children, all of them are hardworking and hardworking, and they are good at fighting together.

The shortcoming is that he is not good at riding and shooting, and he suffers everywhere in the confrontation with the Turks.

Hey, Promise, why are you asking this? "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "The Wang family is thousand years old, this time we will lead 10,000 people to the battlefield, and there are [-]+ Turkic people, how do you think this battle will be fought?
How can we win? "

Qiu Rui shook his head blankly.

"This king really didn't think about it. Hey, Wuji, do you have any clever strategies? If you have one, speak up boldly."

Duan Wuji thought for a while and said: "The Wang family is a thousand years old, I think we can only win by making use of our own strengths and overcoming the enemy's weaknesses when we send troops this time.

Isn't our army able to defend?Let's give him a chance to hold on, let's spend him for a while, wait until the Turkic is tired, and then find a chance to give him a while, so we can have a business relationship? "

Lord Qiu nodded.

"Well, your method is really good, but what if the old emperor urges the battle?"

"Hey, what's so difficult about this, let's figure out a way then!"

"Well, there is no way, that's the only way."

After lunch, the old prince ordered someone to bring tea, and several people chatted while drinking tea.

The old prince looked at Duan Wuji and Tieniu and said: "You two nephews, how are your martial arts skills? Can you show me when you are free?"

Tie Niu laughed and said, "How do you show this? Could it be that old man, you plan to let the two of us demonstrate it to you in the yard?"

Qiu Rui laughed and said: "In our Chinese martial arts, there are many flashy moves, and the performances are okay, but in actual combat, they are useless.

Two virtuous nephews, do you agree with what the old man said? "

Duan Wuji listened and nodded.

"Old man, you are so right, it is true, but I think that in our moves, there are not many flashy moves. Our brothers only focus on actual combat."

Qiu Rui laughed and said, "Why don't we go to the martial arts arena, how about we compete? How about letting me see the martial arts of the two of you?"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "If that's the case, then let my Brother Tieniu practice a few tricks with you.

I won't go, I'm not very interested in this martial arts competition, Brother Tieniu, just let you accompany Lao Qiantui to do a few tricks, be careful, don't hurt Lao Qiantui, you said we should do it the day after tomorrow The soldiers have set off, what do you say if this hurts the general? "

The old prince rolled his eyes angrily when he heard this, and said in his heart: This kid is crazy, this contest has not even started yet, he seems to be sure that I will lose.

snort!You think that this king is too old to have much ability. This is really underestimating people invisibly.

Today I want to see what you two boys are capable of, how dare you be so frivolous.

Before going out today, I will also let you have a longer memory, so that you will not be arrogant and difficult to manage in the future.

Qiu Rui looked at Duan Wuji and Tieniu and said: "Wuji, Tieniu, which one of you is more capable?"

Tie Niu laughed and said: "Old man, I learned this ability from my brother, so naturally my brother's ability is greater.

How can I compare with him these two times? "

When Qiu Rui heard this, he became even angrier, and said in his heart: Taken together, you despise me so much!It's really unacceptable to send someone who has nothing to do, and also told me not to hurt me!

That's fine, I'll defeat this Tieniu first in a while, and see if you can make it out then?
The old man Qiu Rui suppressed his anger and said to Tieniu: "Okay, since Wuji doesn't want to compete, let's go to the martial arts field and compete.

Tie Niu, you have to show your real ability, otherwise you will suffer a lot in a while! "

Tie Niu laughed and said, "Old man, you said that we were fighting at home, and we were just trying to figure out the bottom line with each other. What do you take it for?"

Qiu Rui was speechless for a while!My heart said: Okay, this guy doesn't take this martial arts competition seriously, alas, there is really no way!

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "Go, I will find a place to rest for a while."

After finishing speaking, Duan Wuji turned and went back to the study.

Qiu Rui led Qiu Tianbao and Tieniu straight to the martial arts arena in the backyard,

Entering the Martial Arts Field, Tie Niu took a look, ho!It's such a big place, I saw that this martial arts field covers an area of ​​seven or eight acres, and there are weapon racks on the side of the field, and various weapons are placed on the weapon racks.

Tieniu saw it and said with a smile: "Old man, what do you want to practice? I will practice with you first."

Qiu Rui laughed and said, "Tie Niu, how about the two of us having a few punches first?"

"Okay, old man, what do you want to practice, I will play with you. Old man, please."

Qiu Rui glanced at Qiu Tianbao and said with a smile: "Bao'er, you don't usually learn martial arts well when you are asked to practice martial arts. Today, you should take a good look at this set of Qiu family boxing techniques created by your father, and see how I can beat him."

Qiu Tianbao nodded.

"Father, you have to be more careful, my brother Tieniu's ability is not in vain."

"Hey, Leopard, what's the matter with you? Could it be that my father can't even fight a small iron bull? You underestimate me too much."

Tieniu almost lost his nose when he heard it, and said to himself: This old man, this mouth is bad enough, I recruited you, did I provoke you?How did I become a little iron bull?

I'll definitely show you something in a while, otherwise you don't know that Prince Ma has three eyes.

Qiu Rui walked into the arena with a smile, took off his loose coat, and waved at Tieniu.

"Nephew, why are you being polite? Come in and accompany me for a couple of walks."

Tie Niu listened to his footsteps, and a goose fell into the field. Tie Niu stopped and smiled at Prince Qiu: "Old man, you're welcome, then I invite you to take action."

"Oh? Tieniu, you plan to let me strike first? Then do you still have a chance to fight back?"

"Hey, just come on, you'll know when you reach out."

The old prince was not polite after hearing this, he took a step forward, swayed Tieniu's face with his left fist, and hit Tienu's chest with a black tiger with his right fist, and at the same time made a kick with his feet.

These three moves were ruthless and fast, Tie Niu had been prepared for a long time, Tie Niu tapped his toe suddenly, a swallow flew obliquely, and jumped out of the old prince's attack range with a swipe of the ground.

As soon as the old prince saw that his one-horse-three-guns had missed, he immediately made a switch and got together with Niu Tiedou.

The iron bull dodged from left to right, and used his extremely fast body skills to avoid the attack of the old prince. This old prince's moves are really sophisticated, each move has its own uniqueness, and the moves are unique, and the movements are done in one go!

While observing the old prince's moves, Tieniu was thinking about the way to break it. Twenty rounds passed in a blink of an eye, and the old prince still couldn't touch the iron bull.

Tie Niu retreated a lot while thinking about how to end the competition, and saw that the old prince rushed towards Tie Niu with a hungry tiger preying on his prey, with a chain hook in his left hand and a small grabbing hand in his right to attack Tie Niu. The waist of the cow.

When Tieniu saw it, he dodged to the side suddenly, reached out and grabbed one of the old prince's arms and moved forward vigorously, giving the old man a hand in hand.

Tie Niu said with a smile: "Old man, I think we should stop here, and you should sit down and rest for a while."

The old man was really obedient, he was grabbed by Tie Niu's hand suddenly, he couldn't hold back and rushed out of the field, he took seven or eight steps to stabilize his figure.

The old prince blushed and stood there motionless.The old prince also knew that it was Tieniu who gave way to him, otherwise he might have lost in these two blows.

The old prince looked at Tieniu and said with a smile: "Well, Tieniu, you are really good at it, it seems that the old man can't beat you in this boxing skill.

Hey, Tie Niu, how about we compare weapons again? "

Tie Niu shook his head.

"Forget it, the Wang family is a thousand years old, I don't think we can compare, let's save some effort and let's fight that Turkic, what kind of leader does our own family have?
I don't think we should have a good rest, so we can set off the next morning. "

Seeing that Tieniu really didn't compare himself to him, the old prince had no choice but to shake his head helplessly.

"Hey, it's true that the waves of the Yangtze River push forward the waves of the past. One generation is stronger than the next. This person is old when he is old. How can he not accept the old?"

Tie Niu laughed and said: "Old man, you are really good these two times, ordinary people would have already climbed down when they met your old man, fortunately it was me that your old man met today.

Old man, you are really good these two times, you are really old and strong, and your sword is not old. "

When the old prince Qiu Rui heard Tieniu boasting himself, he couldn't help laughing.

"Tie Niu, you can really talk, um, whether what you say is true or not, but I am very willing to listen to this.

Tianbao, you go and arrange a nice place for them to live in, and we will leave on time the morning after tomorrow. "

After finishing speaking, the old prince Qiu Rui turned around and went back to the back hall to rest.

Qiu Tianbao pulled Tieniu's hand with his hand.

"Brother Tieniu, let's go. Let's go back and have a good rest. This day will pass in a blink of an eye. How can we not rest?"

With that said, the two walked straight to the vestibule.
