God's Summoner

Chapter 1955 Bai Qi... getting old!

Sanshanguan, Baiqi's mansion.

At this moment, Bai Qi, who has always been calm and calm in the past, has an irritable and unhappy face, drinking non-stop, and roaring from time to time in the room.

"The commander has not recovered from his serious injury, and any one of my five tigers will be in charge of the war. I have no other intentions in my heart. It's just that Han Xin, a mere pawn, can be in charge of the three armies?!"

It's no wonder that Bai Qi is angry. It's really because Li Cunxiao was seriously injured in the battle with the six-eared macaque and has not recovered. As a result, it has been a while since the Qin army captured Sanshan Pass, and it has not been ready to go north.

But at this moment, Ji Kao sent an imperial order ordering Han Xin to be the commander-in-chief of the three armies, with full authority to direct the war.

Hearing Bai Qi's words, the general who was drinking with him in the room also echoed him.

"Yes, General, you are one of the Five Tigers. Among us, in terms of status, you are among the top ten. I don't know what your majesty thinks. Why don't you let you be the commander-in-chief? Under Han Xin's command in the southern wilderness, he has only served as a small general of the "White Horse Yi Cong" field army."

"That's right, although Han Xin took the limelight by challenging Jiang Ziya in the previous battle in southern Xinjiang, but how can he rule our Qin army?"

After listening to the words of the generals, Bai Qi sighed and said.

"I'm not blaming Your Majesty. It's just that although Han Xin is strong, he is still too young. He has been in the deep mountains and has not heard of war for a long time. Now he is suddenly put in charge of the three armies. I am afraid that something will happen."

"In addition, I don't want to be the commander-in-chief of the three armies. I am really worried about the war. Alas, besides Han Xin, whoever is the commander-in-chief among my five tigers, I will be willing. Wait, except for Lu Bu."

The crowd laughed.

At this moment, Deng Jiugong's words sounded outside the door.

"Haha, why is Brother Bai so happy?!"

Deng Jiugong has been in a good mood these past few days. Firstly, his daughter Deng Chanyu and Lu Bu are in love with each other, which ended a big event in his heart.

Secondly, Daqin broke through the Wandering Soul Pass and pacified the world, which is just around the corner.

Therefore, the little old man has been in a good mood these past few days, drinking small wines and eating small dishes every day, and he always loves to visit when he is free, chatting and bragging with Bai Qi.

"Haha, brother is here."

Hearing this, Bai Qi waved his hand at some generals under his command, then went out to greet him with a big smile, and at the same time ordered someone to prepare another banquet, and invited Deng Jiugong to take a seat.

The two drank three rounds, Deng Jiu said openly.

"Brother, younger brother sees that you are frowning slightly, but for His Majesty's canonization of Han Xin as the commander-in-chief of the three armies?!"

"Ugh!!!"

Hearing this, Bai Qi picked up the cup in his hand, drank the liquor in one gulp, nodded, and said.

"Brother, you and I are not outsiders. Today, being an elder brother is just saying a few heartfelt words. Back then, I was not only the first servant of the dragon, but I was also one of the best, except for the empress. Besides Yuanba, General Feihu and others, I am only a few days later than Li Bai and Tian Buyi to follow His Majesty. With such qualifications, there are not many people in the Great Qin Dynasty who can compare with me, right?"

Deng Jiugong nodded, and filled Bai Qi with spirits again.

"Of course, seniority cannot be judged in court, and military merit is more important in the army. I have self-knowledge in vain, and my military exploits are indeed not as good as the other four tigers. I am at the bottom of the five tigers, so I have nothing to say."

"But, why is this Han Xin overpowering me? He has only been here for a few days, and he is in charge of the three armies? This... well, this really makes me feel unwilling, brother."

"Furthermore, at the court today, Han Xin, who had just been appointed commander in chief, ordered me to be responsible for escorting food and grass. This... this is simply deceiving people too much, and it makes people furious."

"Ugh!!!"

Hearing this, Deng Jiugong sighed, and interrupted Bai Qi's words.

"Old brother, let's...let's resign ourselves to our fate. Now the world is full of wind and clouds, there are as many Mahayana monks as dogs, and earth immortal monks are walking all over the place. You and I are really old."

Deng Jiugong's words are true.

Although Bai Qi said that in the early stage of the Qin Dynasty, his combat power was unrivaled, and the power of one person could shake thousands of troops.

However, with the passage of time, Bai Qi's combat power is now... not considered top-level among the many powerful generals in Qin State. The four tigers Xue Li, Guan Yu, Lu Bu, and Li Cunxiao who used to be similar to him all had adventures. He has already distanced himself from Bai Qi.

After listening to Deng Jiugong's words, Bai Qi was stunned for a moment, then touched the wine glass in front of him, and drank the spirit in the glass in one gulp, a look of a veteran's decline suddenly appeared on his face.

After drinking this glass of wine, suddenly, Bai Qi's eyes moistened, he laughed at himself, and sighed.

"Yeah, I'm old. I'm no better than boys like Lu Bu. Oh, it's hard... No wonder His Majesty doesn't value me anymore."

"Brother, this is because you think too much."

Seeing Bai Qi's lonely face, Deng Jiugong hurriedly raised his glass to toast, and said.

"Haha, we are always old, but we are always strong. If you don't believe me, ask Lu Bu and those boys to come over and try, and see if you and I fight with bloody swords, and don't make him run away with his head in his arms."

Bai Qi couldn't help laughing, and said: "Lu Bu is for you, who told you that you are his father-in-law."

After saying this, Bai Qi took another sip of the wine in his glass and sighed.

"Hey, brother, you don't have to persuade me. My brother understands it very well. Ru Cunxiao, this kid is also grown up by my brother. He once broke through the city with eighteen riders, captured a living dragon in the deep sea, and became a god in southern Xinjiang. Another example is Guan Yu, who passed five passes and killed six generals, and slashed the sage with his sword. Another example is Xue Li, who shocked the world with three arrows and smashed the northern plains. Compared with them, I have self-knowledge in vain, just like the light of fireflies compared to the bright moon , I have to obey!"

Having said this, Bai Qi sighed more strongly.

"Oh, so it is reasonable for His Majesty to no longer value me Bai Qi. However, I have hatred in my heart. I hate that I have no chance, and I hate that I can't use my hands and feet. In the future, I can only be an army guard who escorts food and grass .”

Every sentence seemed to speak to Deng Jiugong's heart, which made the veteran sigh.

Suddenly, Deng Jiugong's eyes sank, he lowered his voice, and whispered in Baiqi's ear.

"Brother, there is a major event in front of us now. If it succeeds, you and I can be proud."

"Oh? What's the big deal, my brother, let me tell you..." Bai Qi asked a little drunk.

"Haha..." Deng Jiugong laughed loudly, and immediately took out a jade slip. After unfolding it, it was a map around Sanshan Pass. He lowered his head, pointed to one of them and said.

"Brother, please look, this place is called... Broken Star Chaos. Although the route is dangerous, it leads directly to the back of Kuangfengguan Xiongcheng. The front city of Kuangfengguan is majestic and dangerous, but the back city is dilapidated. If you and my brother join forces, Wouldn’t it be beautiful to lure strange soldiers to raid Kuangfeng Pass and take it down overnight?!”
