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

Chapter 88 Chapter 88
Duan Wuji and Tieniu followed Qiu Tianbao and walked straight to the dining room. When they entered the restaurant, they saw that the old prince was sitting in the restaurant and waiting.

When the old prince saw his son leading two people in, he quickly extended his hand to give way.

"Bao'er, what did you do today? It's agreed to invite two benefactors to dinner today, but you're lucky, and you didn't bring them over for a long time. Are you acting like this?"

Qiu Tianbao laughed and said: "Father, you don't know something. Just now I exchanged sword skills with Brother Wuji and the others, so I wasted a while, please forgive me, Daddy."

The old prince smiled slightly.

"Really? My Qiu family's swordsmanship can be said to be unique in the world. If you have time, you should teach them well. After all, you are good friends."

Qiu Tianbao smiled wryly.

"Father, to tell you the truth, my boy's swordsmanship is not a little bit worse than that of this Wuji brother. How dare I teach him some sword skills! My boy's sword skills are almost the same as others'."

The old prince was taken aback.

"Leopard, I know your swordsmanship daddy, why, your swordsmanship is really not as good as others?"

Qiu Tianbao nodded.

"Yes, it's not 01:30 that my child's swordsmanship is worse than others. I have already decided. After dinner, I will ask Qiu Long and Qiu Hu to move my bed back. I want to live with them."

The old prince laughed when he heard this.

"Well, there's nothing good about working hard knowing your insufficiency. Hey, sit down quickly. Let's eat."

After the three sat down, the old prince poured wine for the three of them himself. The old prince said with a smile: "You two, don't be polite when you come to me. Come on, let's do one first."

The four of them took up their wine glasses and drank it down, and the old prince poured another glass.

"The glass of wine just now was to thank you for saving the dog. This glass of wine is considered to be a cleansing for you. Come, let's have another drink."

The four drank their wine glasses in one gulp.

Qiu Tianbao took the jug and filled it up again.

Qiu Tianbao looked at Duan Wuji and Tieniu.

"This glass of wine is to celebrate the exchange of martial arts between the three of us. Come, cheers."

The four drank the wine, and the four began to eat. The old prince stood up after eating a little.

"Young people, take your time. The old man has a small appetite, so I won't be here to accompany you. You should eat to your heart's content."

After speaking, the old prince turned and went back to the inner room.

Qiu Wangbao looked at Duan Wuji and Tieniu and said: "Both of you, don't be polite, this table of wine and food will be thrown away even if you can't finish it, you have to eat hard!"

Duan Wuji and Tie Niu looked at each other, the two of them were unrestrained, the food on the table decreased rapidly, within a short time, the three of them ate up all the food on the table.

The three of them walked out of the restaurant and returned to their residence. Then, the three of them began to exchange martial arts. The three of them learned from each other's strengths and communicated with each other. All three of them learned a lot from each other that they didn't know before.

All three are very satisfied with this.

When it was dark, Qiu Long and Qiu Hu moved Qiu Tianbao's bed back. After dinner, the three of them communicated until late at night, and then they went to bed to rest.

The next morning, Duan Wuji and Tie Niu got up early, and the two of them practiced boxing and kicking in the yard for a while, and then they took the weapons from the weapon rack to start practicing. Li began to meditate with his legs crossed and began to practice internal strength.

When the sun rose, Qiu Tianbao came out of the house.Qiu Tianbao looked at the two people sitting there motionless, smiled and said, "My dear brothers, what are you doing? Didn't we get enough sleep last night?

Don't sit still, let's go, let's eat. "

Duan Wuji and Tie Niu stood up after hearing this.Duan Wuji said with a smile: "I'm tired from practicing martial arts just now, sit down and rest for a while.

Hey, brother, why did you just get up! "

Qiu Tianbao nodded.

"Well, this is my living habit. I get up at this time every day. Let's go, let's go eat."

The three of them came to the dining room, had breakfast, and then returned to the yard. Everyone continued to exchange martial arts. After the exchange, the three continued to digest and absorb the new knowledge they had learned.

Then the three began to practice their own martial arts, and it was almost noon.

Tieniu looked at Qiu Tianbao and said, "Young Master Qiu, can you ask them to bring the food here for the two of us? We won't go to that small restaurant for dinner."

Qiu Tianbao laughed when he heard this.

"Why can't this little thing work? Tell me, what do you want to eat? I asked them to make it for you."

Tie Niu laughed and said, "You just ask them to cut ten catties of cooked meat and ten flatbreads. As for the soup, just two big bowls will do."

Qiu Tianbao was taken aback.

"What? Do you eat so much?"

Tie Niu laughed when he heard this.

"We are born with a large appetite, and if we eat less, we can't eat enough."

Qiu Tianbao nodded.

"Okay, I'll tell Qiu Long and Qiu Hu right away, and let them bring it to you later.

My dear brothers, I'm really sorry. I didn't know that you ate so much and your stomach was wronged yesterday. "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Why are you wronged? We are from that small place, so we don't see big scenes. We both feel that we can eat here alone."

Qiu Tianbao nodded.

"Well, wait a moment, I'll tell the kitchen."

After speaking, Qiu Tianbao walked out.

Qiu Tianbao came to the kitchen, told the chef what Tieniu wanted, and ordered: "Well, you can bake them twelve large pancakes, and you can also cut an extra three or a few catties of this cooked meat for them, so that they don't have to eat it. They can't get enough."

The cook nodded.

"Young master, don't worry, if they don't have enough to eat, you will fire us all."

Qiu Tianbao nodded.

"Well, with your words, I feel relieved."

After speaking, Qiu Tianbao came out from the kitchen.

Qiu Tianbao found Qiu Long and Qiu Hu, and ordered them to deliver food to Tieniu.

The two listened and nodded.

"Young master, don't worry, don't bother with this matter, let's take it to them later."

Qiu Tianbao returned to the inner room, first greeted his father and mother, and then sat on a chair to chat with his parents.

The old prince looked at his son and said with a smile: "Leopard, did you gain anything from exchanging martial arts with them?"

Qiu Tianbao smiled and said: "It's very rewarding. I haven't finished digesting the moves I learned from them yesterday. I'll show you a show after I finish practicing."

The old prince listened and nodded.

"Leopard, you have to take good care of your friend's food and daily life. There may be many discomforts and discomforts when living in our palace. You have to pay attention to these!"

Qiu Tianbao smiled and said, "Father, let it go, I will pay attention.

No, today that Tie Niu asked me to deliver food to them, father, do you know how much they asked for?They asked for ten flatbreads and ten catties of cooked meat.

I was afraid that they would not have enough to eat, so I ordered the kitchen to add some more to them, and I would see how much they could eat. "

The old prince smiled.

"Oh? They eat so much in one meal! Well, there's nothing strange about it. When I was young, I ate a little less than them, but now that I'm old, I can't eat so much."

The old concubine smiled and said: "Leopard, I think their family is poor, and they can't eat any good food for a year, so they are too vegetarian, so they eat more, you can fully satisfy their requirements, and save money in the future." Said that we have never had enough to eat in our Prince Qiu's Mansion."

Qiu Tianbao nodded.

"Mother, I know."

The family of three came to the restaurant for lunch, and Qiu Tianbao returned to Duan Wuji's yard.

I saw Duan Wuji and Tie Niu meditating under the apricot tree?
Qiu Tianbao smiled and said, "You two, don't sit under the tree, let's have a rest and exchange martial arts."

Duan Wuji and Tie Niu stood up after hearing this.

"Brother Qiu, we are waiting for you! Now that you have eaten, let's start communicating now."

Qiu Tianbao smiled and said: "No hurry, you two, it's not too late for us to drink some tea in the room first and then communicate with each other!"

After hearing this, the two had no choice but to enter the room with Qiu Tianbao, and the three chatted while drinking tea.

Qiu Tianbao looked at Duan Wuji and Qiu Tianbao with a smile and said: "You two, have you finished eating today?"

Tie Niu listened and nodded.

"I'll tell you the truth, Big Brother Qiu, the portion of this meal is really big. We just finished eating it, and there will be a little more left over."

Qiu Tianbao was taken aback.

"My dear brothers, you can really eat! Well, you can eat as long as you are full. My dear brothers, what were you doing sitting under that apricot tree just now? Why are you in the same position as the old monk in the temple, aren't you? Are you praying to Buddha there too?"

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this.

"Brother, don't make fun of us. In fact, we are practicing a kind of inner strength. This kind of martial arts has a great effect on strengthening the body, and it is also very helpful in strengthening people's physique."

"Really? It really has such a great effect? ​​Then why didn't you say it earlier! It made me guess wildly. Hey, brother, sometime you will teach me this kung fu too."

Duan Wuji smiled slightly.

"Well, let's wait until the evening, and I'll explain it to you slowly after dinner. It's getting late now, let's go learn martial arts."

The three of them walked into the courtyard. Firstly, Duan Wuji slowly practiced his boxing techniques to Qiu Tianbao, explaining the technical essentials one by one.

After the drill was explained, Qiu Tianbao still learned to practice, and gradually, Qiu Tianbao also learned well.

Afterwards, Qiu Tianbao also practiced the boxing techniques he knew one by one, Duan Wuji and Tieniu watched beside him, after the rehearsal, the two also practiced one by one in the same way as Qiu Tianbao, and each of them practiced eight or nine times Over time, the two of them also had a detailed understanding of the routines of this set of boxing techniques.

When it was dark, Qiu Long and Qiu Long brought dinner again, they were not polite, they crawled at the table and immediately started to gobble it up.

Duan Wuji looked at Qiu Tianbao and said: "Brother, why don't we go back if we can eat something together?"

Qiu Tianbao shook his head.

"Well, it's better for you two to eat. I'd better eat with my father and mother. If I don't accompany them to eat a meal, they won't be able to eat well."

After finishing speaking, Qiu Tianbao walked out.

After dinner, Duan Wuji began to teach Qiu Tianbao the new method of internal strength, and explained the points to be noticed in the practice one by one. After the explanation, Duan Wuji blew out the lamp, and the three of them sat cross-legged on the bed and practiced separately until midnight , Three people fell asleep one after another.

Duan Wuji and Tieniu stayed in this Prince Qiu's mansion for seven or eight days, the three of them either exchanged martial arts every day, or practiced independently, and all three of them benefited a lot from each other.

In the afternoon, Duan Wuji said to Qiu Tianbao: "Brother, we have not been living here for a short time in Prince Qiu's Mansion. We plan to leave tomorrow, so let's say hello to you in advance."

Qiu Tianbao shook his head like a drum.

"No, no, two virtuous brothers, no matter what, you have to stay in my house for half a month, otherwise I won't let you go."

Duan Wuji shook his head with a wry smile.

"Oh, there is really no way."

Qiu Tianbao smiled.

"Brother, what are you in a hurry for? You've only been here for a few days? Our brothers haven't had enough time yet, why are you in a hurry? This prince's mansion has delicious food and drink, so stay here for a few more days."

Tieniu persuaded him when he saw it.

"Brother, don't worry, I think it's pretty good here, what are we afraid of if we stay for a few more days?"

Duan Wuji sighed and said: "Oh, that's the only way to go."

The two lived in Prince Qiu's Mansion for half a month. During this period, the three of them exchanged martial arts day and night, without any spare time.

The martial arts of the three people have been greatly improved. That night, Duan Wuji smiled and said: "Brother, we have lived in your house for half a month. We have to go back tomorrow anyway, we can't delay any longer."

Qiu Tianbao nodded.

"Well, okay, I'll see you off tomorrow, brother. Well, let's rest early today. Brother, if you have time, you should come to my Qiuwang Mansion as a guest. The gate of this Qiuwang Mansion is always open for you. .”

Duan Wuji and Tie Niu nodded.

"Don't worry, brother, the president of our two brothers will come to visit you when you have time, brother, don't think we two brothers are poor!"

Qiu Tianbao smiled.

"Then how can it be? As long as you two brothers come, I will be happy. Well, let's hurry up and rest. After all, you have to go on your way tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, Qiu Tianbao blew out the lamp, and the three of them fell on the bed and began to rest.
