"Uncle Ma, General Qin, why are you here?" Li Xiu saw Ma Ye and Qin Qiong coming in, and hurriedly stood up to greet him, Xue Rengui also stood up and saluted at this time, he had tried archery with Ma Ye before, so he naturally recognized him, as for the yellow-faced general next to him, although he didn't know him, but when he heard Li Xiu call the other party General Qin, he immediately guessed the identity of the other party, which made him also show a respectful expression, after all, compared to Ma Ye, Qin Qiong's fame and merit are also greater.

"Hehe, I had nothing to do, so I came to the city to chat with Brother Ma, but I didn't expect to hear that there was a distinguished guest here, so I took the liberty to come to meet!" Qin Qiong also smiled at this time, and his attention was all on Xue Rengui in the living room when he spoke, and his eyes were full of praise when he looked at him, not to mention anything else, just Xue Rengui's head was very rare in the army.

A few years ago, Qin Qiong assisted Li Jing to destroy the Turks, and also made great achievements, and at the same time eased the relationship between him and Li Shimin a lot, and Li Shimin also sent him to guard the northwest before.

However, Qin Qiong was injured too much on the battlefield when he was young, and his body had several old diseases, and he was fine when he was young, but as he grew older, these old diseases also flared up from time to time, coupled with the bitter cold in the northwest, which made his illness worsen, Li Shimin sympathized with him, so he asked Qin Qiong to go back to Chang'an to recuperate last year, and was ready to wait for him to recover his body.

"Junior, Xue Rengui, meet General Qin, General Ma!" Xue Rengui also hurriedly stepped forward and saluted at this time, facing these two veterans, he is also very respectful as a junior, and Qin Qiong is still in charge of the military academy, maybe he will have to listen to Qin Qiong's lectures in the future.

"You're welcome, your Xue Rengui's name is now spread all over the army, and the blood of killing the Turks in Hongzhou City with one person and one horse is like a river of blood, it is simply the reincarnation of evil, Zhijie wrote to me a few days ago, 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.

In the face of Qin Qiong's compliment, Xue Rengui also showed an embarrassed expression, but at this time, Ma Ye stepped forward and grabbed him and said: "It's boring to just talk, let's go to the school to have a try, I have long wanted to see who is more powerful, you or Shubao?" ”

"Uncle Ma, General Qin is in poor health now, I think let's sit down and talk, and the competition will be waived, right?" Li Xiu also hurriedly opened his mouth to persuade when he heard Ma Ye's words, although he also wanted to know which of Qin Qiong and Xue Rengui had the higher force value, but now that Qin Qiong was old and sick, it was difficult for him to have the courage of the past.

"It's okay, after this year's recuperation, my body has improved a lot, and I also want to see Little Brother Xue's martial arts and archery!" Qin Qiong was quite interested at this time, he was known as the first brave general of the Tang Dynasty, but after the Tang Dynasty pacified the world, it was rare for him to meet any opponents, and now that Xue Rengui was such a young capable general, it naturally made him a little itchy.

"This ......" Li Xiu didn't expect that Qin Qiong was also old-hearted, so he had to compete with Xue Rengui, if he was injured, it would be terrible.

"Don't worry, you kid, Uncle Bao won't be so stupid to compete directly with Xue Rengui, after all, we are all old, and our strength and muscles can't be compared with you young people, we can fight, and by the way, we can also let Uncle Bao point out Rengui's martial arts, after all, although he has infinite divine power and good martial arts, but after all, he has too little experience with the enemy, and he is easily injured on the battlefield!" Ma Ye also knew what Li Xiu was worried about, and he also opened his mouth to explain at the moment.

Hearing that it was not really a horse competition, Li Xiu was also relieved, and then asked Xue Rengui's opinion, but Xue Rengui naturally couldn't ask for it, and it was a rare opportunity for him to get the guidance of a veteran like Qin Qiong, so a group of four people came to Li Xiu's school.

"Come, let the old man see your archery skills first!" Qin Qiong took the lead in taking down a hard bow and a pot of arrows at this time, and threw them to Xue Rengui casually, he had long known that Xue Rengui's archery skills were outstanding, the last time Ma Ye and Xue Rengui competed, the result was the worst loss in archery, although Qin Qiong is known for his bravery, but his riding and archery skills are also very outstanding.

Xue Rengui was not polite, he took the quiver behind his back, took out an arrow and put it on the bow, first shot an arrow very ordinarily, and the result was the bullseye a hundred steps away, and then he saw him squatting or lying, or carrying a bow or backhand, a long arrow was shot by him, and the arrows were all hit the bull's-eye, and finally when a pot of arrows was shot, a row of targets in the distance was about to be shot into a hedgehog.

"Good archery technique, such a magic arrow, I'm afraid only the ancient Li Guang can compare with you!" After Qin Qiong watched Xue Rengui's performance, he couldn't help but praise at the moment, although he was conceited, but in terms of archery, he felt that there was not much he could teach Xue Rengui.

However, although Xue Rengui's archery skills are outstanding, Qin Qiong is not completely out of his place, and at the moment, he saw Qin Qiong also go down in person, but he just shot three arrows in a simple way, although the arrows also hit the bull's-eye, but it didn't seem to be anything special, and then I saw Qin Qiong turn to look at Xue Rengui and say, "Do you understand?" ”

Xue Rengui was 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 little bland.

"I don't understand, Rengui, your archery skills are outstanding, but on the battlefield, there is no time for you to show your archery, especially in the melee, surrounded by enemies, if you still shoot arrows like before, I am afraid that the enemy will take advantage of the opportunity to enter, and Shubao teaches you archery on the battlefield, don't make extra moves, there is only one purpose, that is, to kill the enemy with arrows!" Ma Ye smiled at this time to help Qin Qiong explain.

"Yes, the enemy on the battlefield will not let you calmly release arrows, so the simpler the archery action, the better, in addition, if you encounter the enemy when archery, you must quickly switch the bow and arrow into your own weapon, these are usually not learned, I can only try to teach you, everything depends on your understanding!" Qin Qiong also spoke at this time.

Xue Rengui has a very high talent in martial arts and archery, and when he heard the words of Ma Ye and Qin Qiong, he immediately understood, and he also showed a solemn expression at the moment, and then Qin Qiong explained to him the key points of riding and archery on the battlefield, and even made some demonstrations in person, and Xue Rengui also learned very seriously.

However, Li Xiu felt very bored, he was not a general, he didn't need to go to the battlefield, and he didn't know anything about martial arts, if he was younger, he might still have the mind to learn martial arts, but he was almost thirty now, and it was too late to learn it.

Qin Qiong and Xue Rengui chatted more and more speculatively, and the two of them also demonstrated from time to time in the martial arts arena, and even the guards in the mansion were attracted to watch, and finally 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 talk about it, and let me worship General Qin as a teacher?" Li Jin saw Qin Qiong's appearance of martial arts, and his eyes lit up at the moment, he inherited the good martial arts tradition of Princess Pingyang and their family, and compared to Xue Rengui, who had just become famous, if he could worship Qin Qiong, the first brave general of the Tang Dynasty, as his teacher, he would definitely be able to intimidate a lot of people when he said it, and there would be even fewer people who dared to go against him.

"You kid really see Wei Siqian, although General Qin's martial arts are good, but as a general of the imperial court, he usually guards outside, and he only came back after two years of poor health, and maybe he will be sent to other places in the future, how can he have time to teach you martial arts?" When Li Xiu heard this, he couldn't help but glance at his son.

"Then teach me for a while, anyway, I don't think there are many gentlemen, and if I learn a few more, I can also learn from the strengths of others, and maybe I can become the first brave general of the new generation of Datang in the future!" When Li Jin said at the end, he already showed a longing expression on his face, after all, he was a child, and he occasionally had a dream of being invincible in the world.

"Don't you have a good relationship with that kid from the Qin family, just go to him, General Qin's martial arts will definitely be taught to his son, just learn from each other!" Li Xiu also smiled at this time, although Li Jin is young, he has a bold personality, and he has made a lot of friends outside, of course, they are all noble children like him, Li Xiu doesn't care much about him, after all, as a nobleman, this kind of communication is also necessary.

"Don't mention it, Huai Dao is one year older than me, he is the youngest son of General Qin, and he doesn't have to worry about learning martial arts, he can't make three moves under me, and several of his brothers have also gone to the army, so I can't find anyone to learn from!" Li Jin's little face also showed a helpless expression at this time.

"Then there is no way, if you want to learn martial arts from General Qin, go to his mansion by yourself and walk around more, as long as you humbly ask for advice, I believe General Qin will definitely guide you!" Li Xiu spoke again at this time, in fact, Li Jin wanted to learn from Qin Qiong, as long as he opened his mouth, Qin Qiong would definitely agree, but Li Xiu wanted to test his son's courage, so he deliberately ignored it to see if Li Jin had the courage to open this mouth to Qin Qiong in person?

"Just go, Huai Dao also said that he would marry his sister to me, maybe I will have to call General Qin an old man!" Li Jin saw that his father didn't help him, and he was also angry at the moment.

"The stinky boy 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 scolded when he heard this.

A few days later, the 100-day vigil period expired, and it was finally time to hold a funeral for Li Yuan, and the entire Chang'an was also silent, and the palace was even more sad, and Li Xiu's family also came to the Soul Stopping Hall a day in advance, ready to send Li Yuan on his last journey!
