Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 436 Martial Arts (4)

On the street, Xu faced three powerful men with a stern expression on his face. He slowly drew out the Qinghong sword in his hand, and the cold light leaked out.Xu Qing is also a person who kills enemies on the battlefield without blinking an eye. He has a breath of death on his body. Xu Qing usually tries to cover it up at home, but now, it's better to show it.

He drew his sword when he disagreed with each other, and the passers-by did not dare to look closely, and avoided it from a distance.The young man in brocade clothes looked at Xu Qing in disbelief. He never expected that Xu Qing was a swordsman, let alone that Xu Qing dared to draw his sword on the street.To be honest, even if Xu Qing draws his sword, he is not afraid. What he is afraid of is that Xu Qing dares to draw his sword here. He does not know the background of the person in front of him.

Not far away, Marquis Wu noticed what was going on here, and came over with a pair of soldiers, and shouted: "Who dares not to understand the rules in the Lord's territory?"

Young Master Jinyi sneered at Xu Qing, and thought, no matter how old your background is, I won't suffer from immediate losses, it's better to make troubles first.So he said to the Marquis Wu: "Hey, this official, the thing is like this. The villain was walking on the road and accidentally bumped into this person. Who knew that he would not let him go, so the villain must apologize to him. I want the villain to pay for it. I didn’t break anything, so the villain naturally refused, so I argued with him a few words, but who would have thought that he would draw his sword and face him?"

"Okay, I don't care about other places, but on my street, do you still dare to be a street fighter?" Marquis Wu pointed at Xu Qing with his knife and said, "Tell me, how much do you want to pay? Pay you!"

Xu Qing took a look at him, and saw that he did not use this matter to make money for himself, but to uphold "justice". If it wasn't like this, Xu Qing would have scolded him bloody.Xu Qing held back his breath, and said coldly: "A Marquis of Wu, dare to be called my official in front of me?" Before Xu Qing went out, he put the scabbard in a black cloth bag, because his scabbard was too dazzling and caused riots in Chang'an. No problem.At this time, Xu Qing quietly untied the black cloth holding the scabbard, revealing the gleaming golden scabbard.Marquis Wu didn't notice it, but a Jinwu guard behind him remembered this thing in his mind. He had seen something similar, it was seen during the battle, it belonged to a general, a fifth-rank and fourth-rank general.

So, he whispered a few words in Marquis Wu's ear.Marquis Wu glanced at Xu Qing's scabbard from the corner of his eye, his face suddenly turned cloudy, he smiled at Xu Qing, and said to the young man in brocade clothes: "Bold, how dare you lie to me. Blame others!"

"Hey, Master Wuhou, that's not the case, it's him..."

"Shut up! Get out of here!"

The young man in Jin Yi gave Xu Qing a resentful look, shook his head, and when he was about to leave, Xu Qing said: "Remember, young man, this Chang'an is not the place where your house is full of bumps. In this place, you can just smash it down. A single brick can hit an official bigger than your father. Be honest..."

Young Master Jin Yi was startled, and he glanced at Xu Qing in disbelief, but he still didn't say anything, and left with his head down.Marquis Wu leaned in front of Xu Qing, smiled apologetically and said, "Hey, there are too many miscellaneous fish in this street, and the lower officials are not well managed, so please forgive me."

Xu Qing waved his hand and said, "You Marquis Wu, you can't listen to one side and believe in another. You have to listen to both sides. The point to pay attention to in the future is..." As he spoke, Xu Qing casually flicked his hand, dropped a piece of silver, and then Go to an exchange point, exchange all the silver on your body for copper coins, ask four or five people to carry them, and go straight back to Xuanwumen.

Xuanwumen, with its unchanging might, showed its majesty to others, but to Xu Qing, it showed his enthusiasm.From the moment they entered the door, all the soldiers greeted Xu Qing warmly. It was definitely not because the subordinates were afraid of their superiors when they saw it, but because their friends liked it when they saw it.When they got inside, Zhao Gong and Wei Xian squeezed Xu Qing's back and beat his legs, brought a hot pot and started cooking it.

Speaking of which, Xu Qing hasn't been here at Xuanwumen for two months, went to the north for more than a month, and spent a month catching insects.

"Huh? Where's Zhuge Yan?" Xu Qing suddenly asked, "It shouldn't be, he didn't come to see me..."

Zhao Gong smiled and said to Xu Qing: "Where is it, General Zhuge heard that you are back, Master Xu, and flew to the barracks outside. He said he was going to bring the soldiers who had changed into new clothes and show him."

"Oh? Isn't it just a new outfit? I saw it when I came back last time. Could it be that I changed it again?"

Wei Xian smiled and said, "Master Xu, the last time you came back, the new clothes you saw were just changed. Although they looked mighty, the soldiers below all responded that they were not suitable for combat."

"How could it be? This steel military uniform is lighter than the previous one, and its toughness is also much stronger. It should be easier to wear and use..." Xu Qing recalled the new uniform he saw last time, suddenly realized, and said: "Is it because the steel armor is too reflective? So the soldiers feel bad?"

Zhao Gong and Wei Xian laughed together and said, "Master Xu is wise, that's exactly what happened!"

When marching, you must be stealthy, and you must be even more stealthy when attacking at night. Wearing reflective armor is easy to be spotted by the enemy.This is a difficult problem, I don't know how Zhuge Yan solved it.

Wei Xian explained: "General Zhuge also found out about this, and looked at a few old armors. He found that there were many grooves on the old armors, and they would not reflect light when placed in the sun. So he asked the soldiers to use sand to force them Rubbing on the surface of the armor, and a competition was held, so that the armor of the entire army is now non-reflective."

Zhao Gong also hurriedly said: "Master Xu, several young generals passed by here a few days ago, and they were envious when they saw that our military uniforms did not reflect light. But General Zhuge refused to tell them, only saying that this matter is confidential Master Xu nodded before agreeing to speak."

"Zhuge Yan has done a good job, hahaha..." Xu Qing laughed and said, "If it were me, I wouldn't tell them. Everyone has a brain, so why should they think of a way for others? If you want to know Way, bring the money!"

But at this time, two people came in outside the door, they were actually Li Chengdao and Li Chengqian's second junior, Xu Qing hurriedly greeted them.The second child was very reluctant to hold Xu Qing, as if Xu Qing was about to leave again, Xu Qing comforted: "Chengqian, Chengdao, you haven't eaten yet, it happens that hot pot is cooking here, come and eat."

"Brother Xu, is your story about warming the wine and killing the vast sea true?" Li Chengqian suddenly asked, "How did you split Zhenzhu Khan into pieces? Tell us quickly..."

Li Chengdao also looked at Xu Qing expectantly, expressing his desire to hear.

Old Xu Qing blushed slightly, cursing in his heart, children don't care about adults' affairs, but Xu Qing also knew that this matter could not be stubborn, so he asked the second child to sit down first, set the bowls and chopsticks for them, and ate slowly Hot pot, while talking about the all-powerful past - the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.It's just moving out the story of the Three Kingdoms and replacing it with Xu Qing as the protagonist. Fortunately, the second child doesn't know how the legend of the Three Kingdoms will be in later generations. Seeing Xu Qing paint the banners, he still listens with gusto.
