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

Chapter 283 Chapter 270
The three of them returned to Prince Qiu's Mansion. The three of them took a bath first, and then changed into new clothes. The three brothers drank tea together.

Duan Wuji looked at Qiu Tianbao and said: "Brother Qiu, it is very dangerous for the old prince to send troops this time. If it weren't for our brothers fighting each other to the death, the old prince might be in danger this time!"

Tie Niu listened and nodded.

"Well, that's the thing, look at the two lieutenants sent by the old prince, it's clear that they have nothing to do with themselves and hang on high.

Besides, the soldiers sent to the old prince are all infantry. Do you think such an army can fight against the Turks?

This is really driving people to death! "

Qiu Tianbao laughed and said, "My dear brothers, if you don't tell me, can't our father and son see it?
To be honest, our father and son did not expect to come back alive during this expedition.

The reason why he was lucky enough to win this time is all thanks to the great help of the two virtuous brothers.

Without your brother's help, our father and son would definitely not be able to come back alive this time.

Old thief Yu Wenhuaji, I, Qiu Tianbao, are at odds with you.

Two virtuous brothers, you two friends, Qiu Tianbao, are right.

Two virtuous brothers, there is nothing to do now, you can stay at my house for a while, and we brothers can get along well together. "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Brother Qiu, it's not like you don't know, my Brother Tieniu came out this time to pick up the bride, how can I stay here for a long time?
Otherwise, my sister-in-law will not beat him to death when I go back.

At that time, if he was really beaten up, he wouldn't even be able to climb out of the bed, wouldn't that be the end of it? "

Tie Niu laughed and said, "Brother, what are you talking about? Are your brother and I so unbearable?
Besides, don't you know who your sister-in-law is? "

"Why don't I know? Isn't it just a tigress? Who doesn't understand this!"

Qiu Tianbao laughed and said: "You two virtuous brothers, please stop teasing, yes, since your virtuous brothers are going to get married, then I will take the time to prepare a generous gift for your virtuous brothers.

Come, come, let's drink tea. "

The three brothers were chatting while drinking tea. The time was not too long, and the Changping King Qiu Rui also came back from court.

The old prince is in a great mood now, it can be said that the old prince is smiling all over his face.

How did the old prince look at the three people who were drinking tea?

The old prince looked at Qiu Tianbao and said, "Tianbao, hurry up and get the kitchen to prepare a table of good food, the four of us will have a few drinks tonight to celebrate our return from victory.

When I left, I thought it was certain that I would never come back this time.

Unexpectedly, our men can turn danger into good fortune!If you survive this catastrophe, you will be blessed in the future!

The old abbot's calculations for me are really accurate!

I didn't expect that my old Qiu really deserved to die! "

Qiu Tianbao stood up and ran straight to the kitchen in the back hall.

The old prince sat opposite Duan Wuji and Tieniu, looked at the two people and said: "You two nephews, you are fine now, just stay in the palace for a while, this time the troops are sent out thanks to the great help of your two nephews!

Without the help of the two of you, Tianbao and I, our father and son, might not be able to come back. Such a great kindness really makes the old man at a loss for what to say. "

Tieniu said with a smile: "The Wang family is thousand years old, both of us brothers are good friends of my big brother Qiu, you said he is in trouble, do you think we two brothers can not help?
What do you call good buddies?The Wang family is a thousand years old, what do you say, old man? "

"Well, Li'er is such a rationale, it's okay, the old man's heart is still warm.

This time I dispatched troops, I knew it was bad luck, I went to that temple and asked the old abbot for a fortune-telling.

He said that when I send troops this time, I will surely turn bad luck into good fortune and make disaster auspicious, and there must be two noble people to help me.

Unexpectedly, at such a young age, you have such good martial arts, which can really help us father and son out of danger! "

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "My lord, didn't you ask when His Majesty the Emperor will reward you?"

"Why didn't I ask? His Majesty the Emperor said that he would discuss it with the ministers first, and then talk about the rewards.

You just wait patiently at home, when the emperor awards rewards, there will be no less than your brothers.

When the time comes, I will send someone to call you again, so what's the rush?

How comfortable it is to stay in our house!There is no shortage of food and plenty of drink. "

Not long after, the housekeeper at home walked over carefully.

"The Wang family is thousand years old, the banquet has been set up, please go to the table quickly."

The old prince stood up after hearing this.

"Let's go, let's go to the banquet, this wine and food won't taste good when it's cold.

Hey, let me tell you, don't be restrained at today's banquet!It's time to eat, it's time to drink.Don't be hungry just because I'm here, do you hear me clearly? "

All three nodded.

Four people walked into the restaurant to have a look.Ho!I saw that a large table of wine and food had been set up. I really deserve to be the chef of the palace!

I saw a list of dishes on the table!There are no less than 40 dishes alone. They are really beasts in the mountains, geese in the clouds, and cattle and mutton on land. More than half of the dishes have never been seen by Duan Wuji and Tieniu.

The two of them couldn't help being stunned when they saw it, and the old prince laughed out loud when he saw it.

"Wuji! Tie Niu, why are you in a daze? Sit down and eat quickly!
Today, the four of us father and son will have a good meal to sweep away the fatigue from the past few days.

Tianbao, don't you rush to pour wine for the guests? "

Duan Wuji smiled and said: "Let me do it! I am the only one present here, so let me serve everyone."

Duan Wuji grabbed the wine jar, poured wine for everyone, and then put the wine jar on the table.

The four of them are eating and drinking!The atmosphere was very warm, after drinking and eating, the old prince said with a smile: "Let's talk together, I still have some things to do, so I will leave first.

Tianbao, you have to take good care of our distinguished guests for me!

Make them feel at home.Do you understand me? "

Qiu Tianbao laughed and said, "Father, don't worry, I know these things, so just leave it alone."

After the old prince left, the three brothers returned to the study, and the three of them chatted for a while, Duan Wuji said to Qiu Tianbao: "Brother Qiu, we two brothers have gone to practice, so we won't bother you here, what's the matter?" Let's talk about it tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, the two returned to the room where they lived, sat cross-legged and began to practice.

In the morning of the next day, Duan Wuji and Tieniu had just had breakfast and were about to go back to the house to practice, when suddenly the messenger came, Xuanqiu Tianbao, Duan Wuji, and Duan Tieniu went to the palace to face the saint, and the three of them talked Not to mention death, he followed the decree officer and walked straight to the imperial palace.

The imperial officials who entered the Great Sui Kingdom took a look, ho!I saw that the imperial official was resplendent and resplendent, and his imposing manner was very magnificent. It was really the colorful phoenix flying on the Canary Bridge and the jade dragon on the white jade pillar!

Under the guidance of the decree officer, the three climbed up the steps and walked slowly on the white jade steps. They saw the golden gourd warriors standing majestically on both sides of the road, just like the stone sculptures and clay sculptures, standing there without moving. Do not move.

The atmosphere at the scene was majestic and solemn.

Walking outside the gate of the main hall, the messenger waved his hand, and the three of them immediately stopped moving forward and stood still at this place.

The decree officer stepped into the hall to deliver the decree.

Not long after, the messenger came out again, and the messenger said with a smile: "Your Majesty has an order to announce you to enter the palace, you three come with me."

The three of them followed behind the messenger and walked into the main hall, only to see Wen Dong and Wu Xi standing on both sides, and the atmosphere in the main hall was very majestic.

The three of them walked a few steps, knelt down in front of the emperor's throne, and saluted.

The old emperor glanced at the three people and said with a smile: "The three lovers raise their heads, let the lonely king take a good look at them."

The three raised their heads when they heard this, and the old emperor glanced at the three and nodded with a smile: "Well, they are indeed young and handsome, all of them are handsome?

All three of you signed up yourself, and let the lonely king get to know each other one by one. "

After hearing this, Qiu Tianbao kowtowed first and said, "My name is Qiu Tianbao, and he is the son of Prince Qiu."

Tieniu then kowtowed upwards.

"My name is Duan Tieniu, and I'm a farmer in Taiyuan Prefecture, Shanxi."

Duan Wuji finally kowtowed upwards.

"Xiaomin Duan Wuji is also a farmer in Taiyuan Prefecture, Shanxi."

"Well, the three of you have made great contributions in this Patriotic War, you are really loyal to the Great Sui Kingdom!

The lonely king has good ministers like you, so why worry about the instability of our Great Sui.

The three of you have meritorious deeds, and the lonely king will reward you according to your deeds, and will never let you work in vain.

Qiu Tianbao, you have made great achievements in defeating the enemy this time, so I will seal you as the general of Pingyao and give you [-] silver, so you can follow your father to defend the capital. "

"Thank you, Your Majesty Ron."

"Duan Wuji, you have made a lot of contributions in this fight against the bandits. You were originally the bannerman under the King of the Mountain. I heard that you are at home, so I will make you General Xiaoyao.

The lonely king will also give you ten thousand taels of silver and ten good horses. Go home and continue to work.

If there is another war, the lonely king will recruit you at any time.Do you hear me clearly? "

Duan Wuji kowtowed upon hearing this.

"Thank you Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what kind of general is my Xiaoyao General?

It's fine if you don't have a salary, but this Xiaoyao General must have a rank, right?In the future, when I'm in the local area, once someone asks me, I can't ask three questions, right?
Your Majesty, do I, the Happy General, have the badge of a general? "

The old emperor smiled slightly.

"You, Xiaoyao General, have no position, no salary, and everything else, so you, Xiaoyao General, should be classified as the third rank.

You can enjoy the honor of a third-rank official, and wait for the next call from the court at home. "

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you young general."

"Duan Tieniu, you have made a lot of contributions to sending troops this time. You were appointed as the general who exterminated the captives alone, and the lonely king also gave you 1 taels of silver and ten good horses.

Let your general be Cong Sanpin. "

"Thank you Your Majesty, Your Majesty, can you reward me with a few more cows? It's good for me to return home to cultivate the land."

"Well, that's good. You really got a lot of cows this time. The Gu Wang will reward you and General Xiaoyao with ten cows each. You can go home and farm."

The three of them thanked each other and walked down the hall, and went happily down the hall.
