"Uncle Ma, why are you here?" Li Xiu saw Ma and Qin Qiong come in, and immediately stood up to greet him. Xue Rengui also stood up to salute at this time. He had tried archery techniques with Ma before, so he naturally recognized him. Although he didn't know the yellow-faced general next to him, he immediately guessed the other party's identity when he heard Li Xiu call him General Qin, which made him show respectful expressions. After all, compared with Ma Master, Qin Qiong's fame and contribution are greater. .

"Haha, I was idle, so I came outside the city to chat with Brother Ma, but I didn't expect that I heard that there was a distinguished guest here in the prince-consort, so I took the liberty to meet him!" Qin Qiong also smiled and said, all his attention when he spoke was on Xue Rengui in the living room. His eyes were full of praise when he looked at him. Not to mention anything else, it was rare for Xue Rengui to be in the army.

A few years ago, Qin Qiong assisted Li Jing in destroying the Turks and made great achievements. At the same time, his relationship with Li Shimin has also eased a lot. In addition, Li Shimin had sent him to guard the northwest before. A few years ago, the Dangxiang people were in trouble, and Qin Qiong led his troops to kill the Dangxiang people, which made the Dangxiang people frightened. In recent years, the Dangxiang people have been very honest.

However, Qin Qiong was injured too much on the battlefield when he was young, and had several old diseases in his body. It was fine when he was young. However, as he grew older, these old diseases also occurred from time to time. In addition, the bitter cold in the northwest made his illness worse. Li Shimin complimented with him, so he asked Qin Qiong to go back to Chang'an to recuperate last year, preparing to wait until he recovered.

"My younger generation Xue Rengui, pay homage to General Qin, General Ma!" Xue Rengui hurriedly stepped forward and bowed. Facing these two veterans, he was also very respectful to him, and Qin Qiong was also in the military academy. Maybe he would listen to Qin Qiong's lectures in the future.

"You don't have to be polite. Your Xue Rengui's name has spread all over the army now. One man and one horse kill the Turks in Hongzhou City, and it's like a river of evil. I wrote a letter to me a few days before Zhijie, asking me to pull you into his army no matter what!" Qin Qiong looked at Xue Rengui seriously at this time, and then said with a rare smile.

Faced with Qin Qiong's praise, Xue Rengui also showed a embarrassed expression, but at this time, Ma Ye stepped forward and grabbed him and said, "It's boring to just talk too much. Let's go to the school to compete. I've long wanted to see who is better, you or Shubao?"

"Uncle Ma, General Qin is in good health now. I think we should sit down and talk. Let's avoid the competition?" Li Xiu hurriedly advised when he heard Mr. Ma's words. Although he also wanted to know which of Qin Qiong or Xue Rengui had higher military power, Qin Qiong is old and sick, so it is difficult to have the courage of the past.

"It's okay, after this year of rest, my health has improved a lot, and I also want to see Brother Xue's martial arts and archery skills!" Qin Qiong said in great interest at this time. He was known as the number one brave general of the Tang Dynasty. However, after the Tang Dynasty pacified the world, he rarely encountered any opponents. Now that Xue Rengui's young general appeared, he naturally made him feel itchy.

"This..." Li Xiu didn't expect that Qin Qiong was also old and insisted on competing with Xue Rengui. If he was injured, it would be awful.

"Don't worry, boy, Shubao is not so stupid to compete with Xue Rengui directly. After all, we are old, and our strength and muscles cannot be compared with you young people. We can fight in literature, and by the way, we can also ask Shubao to give some advice on Rengui's martial arts. After all, although he has infinite magical power and good martial arts, he has too little experience against the enemy and is easily injured on the battlefield!" Ma Ye also knew what Li Xiu was worried about, and he also explained immediately.

When Li Xiu heard that it wasn't really a competition, he was relieved, and then solicited Xue Rengui's opinions. As a result, Xue Rengui naturally wanted to get the individual guidance of a veteran like Qin Qiong. This was a rare opportunity for him, so the group of four came to the schoolyard of Li Xiu's house.

"Come on, let me see your archery skills first!" Qin Qiong took the lead in taking a hard bow and a pot of arrows and threw it to Xue Rengui casually. He had known that Xue Rengui had excellent archery skills. Last time Ma Ye and Xue Rengui competed, he lost the worst in archery skills. Although Qin Qiong is known for his bravery, his riding and shooting skills are also very outstanding.

Xue Rengui was not polite either. He immediately took the quiver and took out an arrow on the bow. He first shot an arrow very ordinary, but then he hit the bull's eye a hundred steps away. Then he saw him squatting or lying on his back, bowing or backhanding. Long arrows were shot by him, and the arrows were all hit by the bull's eye. Finally, when a pot of arrows was shot, a row of targets in the distance were almost shot into a hedgehog.

"Good arrow technique, such a magic arrow, I'm afraid only ancient Li Guang can compare with you!" After watching Xue Rengui's performance, Qin Qiong couldn't help but exclaim. Although he was conceited, he felt that he could not teach Xue Rengui much in his archery technique.

However, although Xue Rengui's archery skills were excellent, Qin Qiong was not completely instructed. At that moment, Qin Qiong also came to the scene in person. However, he just shot three arrows in a simple way. Although the arrows also hit the bull's eye, there was nothing special. Then Qin Qiong turned around and looked at Xue Rengui and said, "Do you understand?"

Xue Rengui looked confused at this time. In fact, not only did he not understand, but Li Xiu next to him also didn't understand. After all, in comparison, Xue Rengui's archery performance just now was more exciting and more difficult, but Qin Qiong's three arrows seemed a bit dull.

"I don't understand. Rengui, you have excellent archery skills, but on the battlefield, you don't have time to let you perform your own archery skills, especially in the melee, where there are enemies around you. If you still shoot arrows like before, you may be taken advantage of by the enemy. What Shubao teaches you is archery skills on the battlefield, don't have extra actions, there is only one purpose, which is to kill the enemy!" Ma Ye smiled and explained to Qin Qiong.

"Yes, the enemy on the battlefield will not let you shoot arrows calmly, so the simpler the archery movement, the better. In addition, if you encounter an enemy when shooting, you should quickly switch the bow and arrow to your own weapons. These are things that you can't learn normally. I can only teach you as much as possible. Everything depends on your understanding!" Qin Qiong also spoke at this time.

Xue Rengui is extremely talented in martial arts and archery skills. He immediately understood when he heard Ma Ye and Qin Qiong's words, and he also showed a solemn expression. Then Qin Qiong explained to him the key points of riding and shooting on the battlefield, and even gave some demonstrations in person, and Xue Rengui also learned very seriously.

However, Li Xiu felt very bored. He was not a general and he didn't need to go to the battlefield. He knew nothing about martial arts. If he was younger, he might still have the intention to learn martial arts. But he is almost thirty now, so it would be too late to learn.

Qin Qiong and Xue Rengui became more and more speculative as they talked. The two of them made demonstrations from time to time in the martial arts field. Even the guards in the mansion attracted them to watch. In the end, even Princess Pingyang and Li Jin came.

"Dad, I think General Qin's martial arts seem to be stronger than Mr. Xue. Why don't you help me tell me and let me take General Qin as my teacher?" Li Jin saw Qin Qiong's appearance in martial arts, and now he was also lit up. He inherited the good martial arts tradition of Princess Pingyang and his family. Compared with Xue Rengui, who was just famous, if he could become Qin Qiong, the number one brave general of the Tang Dynasty, he would definitely scare a bunch of playboys when he said it. Then there would be even fewer people who dared to do the right thing to him.

"You kid really meet Yi Siqian. Although General Qin has good martial arts skills, he is usually guarding the court. He has been in poor health in the past two years and may be sent to other places in the future. How can he teach you how to practice martial arts?" Li Xiu couldn't help but give his son a blank look when he heard this.

"Then let me teach me for a while. Anyway, I don't mind the number of teachers. If I learn more, I can learn from many schools. Maybe I can become the first brave general of the Tang Dynasty in the future!" When Li Jin said the last, his face was already showing a longing expression. After all, he was a child and occasionally had a dream of invincibility in the world.

"Don't you have a good relationship with the boy from the Qin family? Just go and find him. General Qin's family's martial arts will definitely be taught to his son. You little brothers will just have a chance to learn more!" Li Xiu also smiled at this time. Although Li Jin was young, he was generous and generous. He made many friends outside. Of course, they were all noble children like him. Li Xiu didn't care much about him. After all, as a noble, this kind of communication is also necessary.

"Don't mention it, Huaidao is one year older than me, and is the youngest son of General Qin. He doesn't care about learning martial arts. He can't do three moves under my hands. His brothers have also gone to the army. I can't find anyone to compete!" Li Jin's little face also showed a helpless expression at this time.

"Then there is nothing to do. If you want to learn martial arts from General Qin, go to his mansion to walk more. As long as you ask for advice humbly, I believe General Qin will definitely give you some advice!" Li Xiu said again at this time. In fact, Li Jin wanted to learn art from Qin Qiong. As long as he spoke, Qin Qiong would definitely agree. But Li Xiu wanted to test his son's courage, so he deliberately ignored it. See if Li Jin had the courage to speak to Qin Qiong himself?

"If you go, go, Huaidao also said he would be betrothed to me by his sister. Maybe I would have to call General Qin a father-in-law!" Li Jin said angrily when he saw that his father would not help him.

"The little brat is not serious. General Qin's youngest daughter is only five years old. You really dare to say it!" Li Xiu couldn't help but laugh and scold him when he heard this.

A few days later, the 100-day shook period was over, and it was finally time to hold a funeral for Li Yuan. The whole Chang'an was also covered in plain clothes, and there was even more sadness in the palace. Li Xiu's family also came to the Spirit Hall one day in advance, preparing to send Li Yuan on his last journey!
