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

Chapter 87 Chapter 87
Before long, Qiu Tianbao ran out of the house, ran to Duan Wuji and Tie Niu and said with a smile: "My two brothers, my father is waiting in the house, hurry up and follow me into the house. "

The two followed Qiu Tianbao and walked straight towards the door of the living room.

Entering the door of the reception room, the two of them took a look, ho!This reception room is impressive enough, I saw a beautiful Eight Immortals table on the front of this reception room, there are teapots, tea bowls and other utensils on the table, and there are chairs around the table.

There is an ancient painting hanging on the front of the study. The ancient painting depicts a fierce tiger going up the mountain. The tiger twists its tail and climbs up the rock. There is an ancient pine tree beside the rock. Powerful and domineering.

There are several banners hanging on both sides of the ancient paintings, and the whole living room is decorated in a gentle and elegant manner.

Sitting in front of the table was an old man in his fifties. The old man was wearing a sea-blue silk casual dress and a crown on his head. He looked so easy-going. With his gray hair and beard, although he Big, but full of energy.

No need to ask, this is Changping Wang Qiurui.

When Duan Wuji and Tieniu saw each other, they quickly knelt down and saluted.

"The Wang family is here, Duan Wuji and Tieniu pay their respects to the prince."

When the old man saw it, he quickly stood up and stretched out his hands to help him.

"You two nephews, don't be too polite, get up and speak quickly."

The old prince smiled and pointed at the table.

"You two virtuous nephews, you are welcome, please sit down quickly. Tianbao, hurry up and offer tea!"

Well, the old man is enthusiastic enough.

The four of them sat on chairs and chatted while drinking tea.

King Changping looked at Duan Wuji and Tieniu and said with a smile: "You two virtuous nephews, I heard from Gouzi that you two saved Gouzi's life yesterday, I am very grateful, but I am dissatisfied with the two of you saying that this is the only son of my family. The root is only a seedling, and the old man still needs him to carry on the family line of my Qiu family in the future.

You say that if my only seedling is gone, what's the point of me being alive?You two, since your victory is in sight, why are you willing to let those boys go?
At that time, they were all caught, and there was no need to report to the police. Wouldn't it be over if the old man chopped them down directly? "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "When we first came to this capital, we are thousands of miles away from home, and we don't know anyone in this capital. How much trouble will it be if you say that we will go to the government to file a lawsuit? Hou we can't walk if we want to go, we can't go back if we want to, so what should we do?

These boys are indeed hateful, but they are not guilty of death, so they were released after thinking about it. "

So did King Changping after thinking about it.

"Well, you guys are quite thoughtful, if you let it go, let it go, it's nothing special.

Two virtuous nephews, you can stay in my prince's mansion for a few more days, food and clothing are indispensable to you, Tianbao, you have to take good care of your friends! "

Qiu Tianbao smiled slightly.

"Don't worry, Dad, I will take good care of them."

Several people chatted for a while, Qiu Tianbao stood up.

"You two, come with me, and go to rest outside the residence I arranged for you. I will treat you to a good meal at noon later, to thank you for your kindness."

The two stood up, bid farewell to the old prince, and followed Qiu Tianbao out of the reception room.

Qiu Tianbao took them to a small courtyard in the west courtyard of Wangfu. Duan Wuji and Tie Niu saw that the environment of this small courtyard was really good. Facing the Moon Gate was a small and exquisite rockery. The bamboo leaves are drooping on the rockery, and various flowers and plants are planted under the rockery.

Going around the rockery, I saw that the yard was not big, only about two acres of land, and there were a few apricot trees planted in the yard. It was the time when the apricot blossoms were in full bloom, and the apricot trees were all full of flowers.The surrounding wall is full of wall weeping flowers.

Duan Wuji looked into the courtyard, and saw that there was a weapon shelf in the middle of the courtyard, and various weapons were placed on the weapon shelf.

Duan Wuji looked at it and said with a smile: "Young Master Qiu, was this your residence before?"

Qiu Tianbao nodded.

"Well, this used to be my practice yard and also my study, since you are going to live in my house, I'll let you out of it.

I know that you two like to practice martial arts, so this weapon shelf didn't move.

Two, follow me into the house and have a look. "

The two of them followed Qiu Tianbao into the house, and they saw that these rooms were quite elegant. The outside room was a study room, and there were strips hanging on the four walls of the room. In the middle of the room was an Eight Immortals table with Four chairs.

There are teapots and teacups on the table.

Qiu Tianbao led them into the back room, and saw two beds in the back room, one in the south and one in the north. The beds were covered with brand new brocade quilts, which looked luxurious and elegant.

There is a picture of the Eight Immortals between the two beds, and there are also teapots and tea bowls on the table.There were candles on one side of the table.

Duan Wuji and Tieniu were very satisfied when they met.

"Brother Qiu, thank you for your trouble. We are very grateful. Brother Qiu, if you want to be busy, go ahead. We're fine here."

Qiu Tianbao smiled when he heard this.

"I happen to have nothing to do today, and I'm not busy at all."

Qiu Tianbao shouted to the high side outside: "Qiu Long, Qiu Hu, come in for me."

Following Qiu Tianbao's shout, two young men in their twenties came in from the outside.

Qiu Tianbao said kindly: "These two are my friends and my saviors. From now on, you two will take care of their daily life. You two must not disappoint my trust!"

The two of them giggled after hearing this: "Don't worry, young master, we will leave this matter to our brothers. If they fail to take care of anything, you can punish our brothers."

Qiu Tianbao looked at Duan Wuji and Tieniu.

"You two, if you have any requests from now on, just tell them. These two are two servants recruited from my hometown. They have always been very serious in handling things. If you have any needs, don't be polite, just tell them."

Duan Wuji and Tie Niu nodded.

"What needs can we have? Don't worry, Mr. Qiu, we are all those who practice martial arts, and we don't have any needs."

Qiu Tianbao nodded.

"Well, that's good, then both of you back down for me."

After hearing this, Qiu Long and Qiu Long all backed out.

Qiu Tianbao smiled and said, "What kind of kung fu did you two learn? Seeing that your two weapons are a big stick and a sword, these weapons are almost exactly the same, so your kung fu must have been taught by a master, right?"

Tieniu laughed awkwardly after hearing this: "Returning to the words of the young prince, how can I have any master? Most of my abilities are learned from my brother, and my brother has a master.

His master is an eminent monk of Shaolin Temple. "

Qiu Tianbao became interested after hearing this.

Qiu Tianbao looked at Duan Wuji.

"Brother, I didn't expect you to be so powerful! At that time, I saw your boxing skills very superbly. I didn't expect you to be the most powerful person!

Hey, brother, are you learning authentic Shaolin Kung Fu? "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "I think my kung fu has both Buddhist kung fu and Taoist kung fu.

My stick technique is authentic Buddhist kung fu, the stick technique is brave and vigorous, and my sword technique is soft and ruthless, this kung fu should be Taoist kung fu.

My boxing method originated from Wuqinxi, and later I added some other animal movements when grazing. It can be said to be a hodgepodge.

My boxing has no fixed method, and my martial arts has no fixed technique. "

Qiu Tianbao laughed out loud.

"Brother Wuji, you are really good! If things go on like this, you will definitely become a master of martial arts.

Hey, brother, it's too early to leave now, why don't you show me your swordsmanship, and let me see your swordsmanship too? "

Duan Wuji smiled and said: "Brother Qiu, although my younger brother's swordsmanship is not bad, how dare you show it off in front of you? Isn't that selling calligraphy and paintings in front of the saint's door? Isn't that embarrassing to show off?"

Qiu Tianbao smiled.

"Brother, don't be humble. You and my brother, how can there be so much talk? Brother, stop talking about other things, go out and practice quickly, don't make me anxious."

Duan Wuji stood up, and said to Qiu Tianbao with a smile: "Since elder brother said so, then younger brother will obey.

Let's go, go to the yard and watch me practice, if I don't practice well, brother, don't laugh at me! "

After speaking, Duan Wuji walked out of the room first, followed by Qiu Tianbao and Tieniu.

Duan Wuji took the sword from the weapon rack, pulled the sword out of the scabbard suddenly, and put the scabbard next to the weapon rack.

Then he said to Qiu Tianbao with a smile: "Brother, younger brother is making a fool of himself, please pay attention."

Duan Wuji came to the center of the arena and stood firm, with a fairy pointing the way and swishing a sword.

When Qiu Tianbao saw it, he secretly applauded, if a real expert stretches out his hand, he will know if there is one.

Duan Wuji followed the people with his sword, and saw that Duan Wuji's strike was like lightning, and the sword light turned into pieces of cold light and surrounded Duan Wuji.

At the beginning, he could still see Duan Wuji's moves clearly, but later, Duan Wuji's moves were too fast, Qiu Tianbao couldn't see clearly.

Leopard Tianbao stood on the sidelines, only feeling the cold wind whistling, and the skin that was scraped by the cold light of the sword qi blew cold air.

Bao Tianbao looked so stupid, Duan Wuji stopped his sword move and stood in the field.

At this time, Qiu Tianbao recovered from the shock.

"Okay! That's great, brother, I didn't expect your sword moves to be so exquisite. Brother, I have opened my eyes today."

Duan Wuji handed the sword to Qiu Tianbao.

"Brother, you should also practice, and let me, brother, see your sword moves."

Qiu Tianbao smiled wryly after hearing this: "Before you practiced swordsmanship, I still had the confidence to practice in front of you, but now that I have seen your swordplay, I don't even have the courage to practice swordsmanship.

But, for better or for worse, I'll practice.

Brother, don't laugh at me! "

Qiu Tianbao took the sword, came to the field, and practiced swinging the sword.

This Qiu Tianbao grew up in a general's family, can he rely on his swordsmanship?Qiu Tianbao also practices sword every day, and he has worked hard for many years.

That Qiu Tianbao also worked his life out today, showing off all his skills in pressing the bottom of the box.

I saw the sword shadow shining in the field, which was also a piece of brilliance.

After practicing for a long time, Qiu Tianbao suddenly stopped and stood in the field.

Duan Wuji and Tie Niu secretly raised their thumbs when they saw each other.

Not to mention, Qiu Tianbao's swordsmanship is really good, and every move and every trial has its own uniqueness.

Qiu Tianbao put the sword back into the scabbard, and walked over with a smile.

"Brother, brother, I'm making a fool of myself."

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Brother, you are too modest. In fact, your swordsmanship is quite good. Although it is not very superb, ordinary people are really no match for you."

Qiu Tianbao smiled when he heard this: "Brother, don't flatter me, I don't know what happened to me, brother, let's talk to each other after dinner?"

Duan Wuji listened and nodded.

"Okay, let's make a deal."

At this moment, Qiu Long ran in from the outside.

"Young master, the master asked me to call you, and told you to go over to have dinner, you go there quickly, the master and the others are waiting for you in the dining room."

Qiu Tianbao looked up and found that the sun was already noon.

Qiu Tianbao said to Qiu Long: "Understood, you go back first."

Qiu Tianbao looked at Duan Wuji and Tieniu and said: "Time flies so fast! It's noon in just a short while.

Come on, come with me to the banquet. "
