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

Chapter 96
After entering the west wing, Duan Wuji looked at Tieniu and said, "Brother Tieniu, what have you been up to lately?"

Tie Niu laughed and said, "What are you busy with? Now is the slack season, so what is there to be busy with? Apart from practicing martial arts every day, you just hang out in the street. What is there to be busy with?"

Now there is no shortage of food and drink, and I have become so idle every day.

Hey, bro, what have you been up to lately? "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "I am in the same situation as you, what else can I do every day besides practicing martial arts?

Hey, Brother Tieniu, this time Big Brother Shan came to my house mainly to invite me to participate in the martial arts invitational tournament at Erxianzhuang, Bali, Luzhou Prefecture. Would you like to play for a few days? "

Tie Niu laughed out loud.

"Brother, you know me too well. I've been in a panic for the past few days. I didn't expect such a good thing. Okay, I'll go.

Hey, brother, how much money should we bring for traveling expenses this time? "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "What travel expenses are you bringing? Brother Shan is so rich, do you still need us to spend money on the road? Let's just take Zhangzui and go."

After hearing this, Tieniu asked Shan Xiongxin, "Brother Shan, is what my brother said true?"

Shan Xiongxin smiled and nodded.

"Is there any reason for this? Brother Yu, if you are willing to go, brother Yu, I will treat you well, and I will definitely not dare to treat the distinguished guests in the slightest."

Tieniu was overjoyed when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Brother Shan, you wait, I'll go home to get the weapons, and I'll be back in a while."

Shan Xiongxin nodded.

"Well, well, you have to go early and come back early, we will wait for you to come back to chat."

Tieniu smiled, turned around and left.

Duan Wuji looked at Shan Xiongxin and said with a smile: "Brother Shan, how are you doing? How well this matter is done! If you go to his house to invite him, then maybe he won't go."

The red-haired spiritual officer Shan Xiong laughed out loud.

"Brother, you are still wise, and you still have a way! Brother, I am far inferior to you!"

Duan Wuji looked at Shan Xiongxin and said, "Brother Shan, it's time for me to practice, so I won't talk with you anymore, I'm very sorry."

Shan Xiongxin laughed and said, "Brother, why are we brothers so polite? Brother, you can do whatever you want, brother, I will never disturb you."

Duan Wuji sat cross-legged on the bed, and fell into samadhi after a while.

Not long enough, the Tie Niu came in happily humming a little tune, saw Duan Wuji taking a seat, and immediately said to Shan Xiongxin with a smile: "Brother Shan, look at my brother working hard, no, I also have to practice for a while, otherwise my brother will leave me behind after a long time."

Tieniu sat cross-legged beside Duan Wuji and immediately began to practice. Shan Xiongxin smiled wryly.

He thought to himself: These two brothers are good, they went to practice on their own, and they didn't talk about gossiping or chatting with the guests for a while.

Shan Xiongxin had no choice but to whisper gossip with his three servants until the red sun was setting, and the two of them ended their cultivation one after another.

Suddenly, Duan Changsheng walked in from the outside.Duan Changsheng looked at Duan Wuji and said, "Damn, what time do you think it is? Didn't you say invite the guests to have dinner?"

Duan Changsheng turned his head and said to everyone: "Everyone, go over quickly, the meal is ready, my father asked me to come over and ask you to come, let's go, go over quickly!"

Everyone followed Duan Changsheng to the main room, only to see Duan Yanqing and his wife sitting at the table waiting, everyone hurried back to their seats.Duan Yanqing glanced at everyone and said: "Everyone sit down and eat quickly, what time do you think it is?"

After hearing this, everyone sat down and began to eat. Shan Xiongxin looked at Duan Yanqing and Liu Caihua and said: "Uncle, Auntie, I am actually here to pick up Brother Wuji and Brother Tieniu for a few days. It has been so long. My brothers and the others have never lived in my Erxian Village in Bali, I miss them very much, and I know their family by the way, uncle and aunt, don’t you disagree?”

Duan Yanqing laughed and said: "It's a good thing that you brothers hang out more, how can we disagree? Wuji! Tie Niu, you go. If there is something difficult about you brother Shan, you should deal with it." Just give me a hand, everyone is our own after all."

Duan Wuji listened and nodded.

"Father, I will write down what you said, and my son will follow suit."

Duan Yanqing looked at Shan Xiongxin and asked: "Outside Shan, when are you going to leave?"

After hearing this, Shan Xiongxin quickly replied: "We plan to leave tomorrow."

"Ah? Are you staying for two more days? Why are you in a hurry!"

"Uncle, Luzhou is far away from us, hundreds of miles away. I think it's better to go back early, uncle, what do you think?"

Duan Yanqing smiled.

"Then you can do whatever you want, hey, Xiongxin, I won't stop you from leaving tomorrow, but you must have breakfast before leaving!

The head of the family, the children are going out tomorrow, so you should make breakfast early tomorrow. "

Willow cauliflower nodded.

"Well, don't worry, tomorrow will never be missed."

After eating their fill, several people rushed to Duan Wuji's West Wing to rest. Duan Wuji and Tie Niu still sat cross-legged on the kang to practice, and they didn't go to sleep until midnight.

The next morning, Duan Wuji and Tie Niu got up early. Duan Wuji looked at Tie Niu and said, "Brother Tie Niu, are you still wearing your sand bag?"

Tie Niu laughed and said, "It's tied, hey, I don't feel that it's too heavy now, and I'm used to it. Brother, why do you ask this?"

Duan Wuji smiled and said: "It's nothing, let's compete again today to see if your speed has improved."

Tie Niu laughed and said, "Comparisons, whoever is afraid of whom!"

The two of them ran out of their homes, and they ran for more than ten miles along the rugged mountain road.Seeing that the sun was coming out, the two of them immediately turned around and ran back. Gradually, the iron bull began to pant, while Duan Wuji seemed to be fine. When they got home, the iron bull was already sweating profusely.

Panting heavily, Tieniu wiped his sweat and said to Duan Wuji: "Brother, you are much better than me these two times.

I have also worked hard during this period, but it is far behind you.Looks like I still have to work hard! "

Duan Wuji dragged Tieniu into the house, and said with a smile: "Brother Tieniu, you are not very kind these two times, you are much better than before, ordinary people are probably not your opponents, let's go , let's go eat, maybe Big Brother Shan and the others have already eaten."

The two of them walked into the room and saw that Shan Xiongxin and the others were eating.

When Shan Xiongxin saw the appearance of the two of them, he asked, "My dear brothers, where have you been?"

Duan Yanqing saw it and said with a smile: "Since Wuji came back this time, he has the habit of running in the morning, um, it's good to run in the morning, you can eat more.

Wuji, Tieniu, wash your face and eat quickly. "

The two promised to wash their faces in a hurry and started to eat. When Shan Xiongxin saw the two eating like crazy, his face was full of shock.

"Two virtuous brothers, you two are too good to eat. This person can eat at least three people's food."

Seeing this, Liu Caihua smiled and said, "You two are foodies, get out of here and eat at your big brother's place."

How can the two of them still care about talking now?They kept stuffing their mouths until they were full before they stood up.

"Brother Shan, it's getting late, I think we should leave now."

Shan Xiongxin stood up and gave a deep salute to Duan Yanqing and Liu Caihua.

"Uncle, Aunt, Brother Changsheng, let's go, see you later."

After finishing speaking, Shan Xiongxin took the lead and walked out first, and then everyone came out of the house one after another.Everyone pulled out their horses from the yard of the cowshed, immediately got on the horses, beat the horses and ran straight into the distance.

Duan Yanqing's family watched several people run away before turning back to the house.

The six of Shan Xiongxin rode horses and rushed all the way, heading straight to the direction of Luzhou. Shan Xiongxin ran at the front, Duan Wuji and Tie Niu followed closely behind, Shan Xiongxin turned his head and shouted at Duan Wuji and Tie Niu Said: "My dear brothers, why don't we race horses! My bay red horse is a thousand-mile horse that I bought for 1000 taels of silver.

Two virtuous brothers, do you dare to compare with my brother and me? "

Tie Niu laughed out loud.

"Brother Shan, don't brag. If your horse is worth 1000 taels of silver, then our horse is worth at least 3000 taels of silver. We don't know the way, otherwise we brothers would have left you behind."

Shan Xiongxin's nose was almost out of breath when he heard this, and he said to himself: This iron bull can really brag!Just your horse dare to compare with me?Hmph, let me show you what a Maxima is.

This Shan Xiongxin is also a very strong person. Shan Xiong said loudly: "In this case, I will show you what a thousand-mile horse is. If I can't even fall behind you by half a mile today, then I will admit defeat today .”

After finishing speaking, Shan Xiongxin slapped the horse's buttocks hard, and the bay red horse let out a long cry, and rushed forward like an arrow from the string.

Duan Wuji whispered to Niu Tie: "Brother, keep up, we can't be ashamed today!"

The six horses ran forward desperately, the trees and houses on both sides of the road fell backwards, and the wind whistled in my ears.

After a short time, the three of them gradually left the three servants behind, further and further away.

Shan Xiongxin peeked back and saw that the horses of Wuji and Tieniu were always keeping a distance of about two zhang from his own horse.

Xinxiong Xin saw it and said, "Okay, I can't blame Tieniu for saying such big words just now. It seems that I can't beat them today if I don't play hard. Wouldn't I be ashamed?"
Shan Xiong was so confident that he whipped the horse vigorously and rushed forward.

Are Duan Wuji and Tieniu the ones who want to lose?The two men followed closely behind, and the distance between these horses never changed.

The match between the three of them lasted for three hours, and gradually the bay red horse was sweating all over, Shan Xiongxin looked back, alas, it's really good!Seeing that the two of them followed closely behind, Shan Xiongxin really had no choice now.

Shan Xiongxin said loudly: "You two virtuous brothers, your horses are really good. Follow this road for about ten miles and you will arrive at my Bali Erxian Village. Let's see who gets there first."

After hearing this, Duan Wuji said to Tieniu: "Brother, if this is the case, then what are we waiting for, go ahead of him."

After finishing speaking, Duan Wuji slammed on the horse's buttocks, and the horse rushed forward desperately.

When Tie Niu saw it, he beat the horse desperately, and the big green horse also galloped forward desperately. In an instant, the two fine horses overtook the bay red horse and ran away immediately.

When Shan Xiongxin saw it, he chased after him desperately, but he chased him further and further, and after a while, the two of them dropped the Zaoji horse and disappeared.When Shan Xiongxin rushed to the village, he saw that Duan Wuji and Tie Niu were resting in the shade under a big willow tree.Two horses are grazing leisurely under the tree.

Shan Xiongxin was convinced after seeing this.

Shan Xiongxin Tima came under the tree.

"You two virtuous brothers, today I am completely convinced, brother, this horse is really no match for your horses!

Two virtuous brothers, hurry up and follow me to Zhuanger. "
