Zhebie heard Temujin call Borshu a "good friend" and shouted: "Since you are a good friend of Temujin Khan, I, Zhebie, will kill you first."
After hearing this, all the Mongolian soldiers burst out laughing.
Everyone knew that Bo Shu was proficient in martial arts, invincible, and his reputation had long spread across the desert. Although they had seen Zhebie's strong archery skills before, when they heard that he wanted to kill Bo Shu, they all thought that he was overestimating his abilities.
Before Borshu and Zhebie could start competing, Guo Mo spoke again: "Temujin Khan, since you are so confident in General Borshu and Zhebie is bound to win, then look at this
Should there be a prize in the competition?"
"Oh", Temujin was more interested in Guo Mo.
Under such circumstances, it is really rare for such a young child to be so calm and composed: "Little baby, tell me, what kind of prize do you want?"
"Great Khan" didn't wait for Guo Mo to speak again, but Zhebie spoke first: "In the competition between me, Zhebie, and Borshu, if I, Zhebie, lose, it means that my skills are inferior to others, and I am willing to sacrifice my neck and head."
.”
"If Zhebie wins by chance, I hope the Great Khan will let these two little brothers go. I injured the Great Khan and know that I will die. I just don't want to implicate others, let alone two children."
"Okay, I, Temujin, agree to your wish."
Temujin knew that Borshu was an expert in archery. He quickly took off the bow and arrow from his waist and handed it to him. Then he jumped off the horse and said: "Boshu, you ride on my horse and use my bow and arrows. Like this
Even if I, Temujin, shoot him Zhebie."
Borshu said: "Yes!" Holding a bow in his left hand and an arrow in his right hand, he jumped onto Temujin's horse.
Temujin said to Ogedei: "Please lend your mount to Zhebie."
Wokuotai said: "It's easy for him." He jumped off the horse and a soldier led the horse to Zhebie.
Zhebie also jumped on his horse and said to Temujin: "I have been surrounded by you. If you want to kill me, it is as easy as slaughtering a sheep. Since you let me compete with him, I can't do it again without knowing what is good or bad."
He is on par with me. I only need a bow, no arrows."
Borshu said angrily: "You don't use arrows?"
Zhe said goodbye: "Yes, I can kill you with an empty bow!"
The entire competition process was exciting and short, from start to finish, it only took a cup of tea.
I saw two horses, Borshu and Zhebie, running wild, sometimes hedging, sometimes chasing. Borshu took the lead in firing an arrow, and went straight to Zhebie. Zhebie smiled slightly, and "bang" with his right hand.
With a sound, he caught the arrow steadily.
Just like this, only arrows were seen in the air. Before Guo Mo could see clearly what was going on, Borshu and Zhebie returned to Temujin again. At this time, Borshu's quiver was already empty.
, but there was still an arrow on Zhebie's bow.
"Khan, I, I lost..." Bo Shu was a bachelor, and he admitted defeat in public.
Zhebie also jumped off his horse, came to Temujin, knelt on one knee and said: "Khan, I have won the competition. I hope you can keep your promise and let these two little brothers go. I Zhebie, but I want to die.
". Then, he closed his eyes and stood there straight, waiting.
At this time, Borshu also got off his horse, came to Temujin's horse, knelt down on one knee and said: "Great Khan, please be merciful and spare Zhe!"
When Temujin saw this, he already cherished Zhebei's bravery, so how could he bear to let Zhebei die? He shouted: "Zhebei, aren't you going to surrender?"
Looking at Temujin's majestic demeanor, Zhebie could not help but be impressed, prostrate himself on the ground, and sang loudly: "The Great Khan spares my life, and I am willing to go through fire and water in the future. Cross the black water, crush the rocks, and support the rescuers."
The Great Khan. Conquer foreign enemies and win people's hearts! Wherever you ask me to go, I will go. Charge into battle for the Great Khan, galloping thousands of miles, day and night!"
Temujin was overjoyed to have gained another powerful general. He took out two ingots of gold and gave them to Zhebie. Zhebie said: "Great Khan, you rewarded me with this gold, can I give it away?"
Temujin glanced at Guo Jing and Guo Mo and already knew Zhebie's intention: "Whatever you want, the gold given to you is yours to do with as you wish."
Zhebie turned around and came to Guo Jing and Guo Mo: "Two little brothers, thank you for protecting Zhebie just now. Please take these two ingots of gold."
Guo Mo didn't care and just wanted to take it. He had never seen such a large piece of gold in his two lifetimes. But Guo Jing shook his head and said, "Mom said, you must help the guests, not ask for them."
s things."
The actions of the two brothers also fell into Temujin's eyes. One was loyal and honest, the other was calm and calm. They were both good children. And at such a young age, to be able to behave like this must be without any scheming.
It's just nature's nature.
He said to Zhebie: "Zhebie, I think these two sons are both talented. If you really want to be good to them, you might as well accept them as apprentices and teach them their skills. When you have time later, take them to my place to sit.
"So he led the team and went along the way.
Zhebie escaped from death and worshiped the Ming Lord again. He was very happy. While lying on the grass to rest, waiting for Guo Jing and Li Ping, the mother of the Guo Mo brothers, to come back from the market, he casually chatted with the two brothers.
.
I don’t know why, maybe it’s the fate between people, or maybe it’s preconceptions, but Zhebie likes Guo Jing more.
I can't say I don't like Guo Mo, but I always feel that there is something inexplicable about this child. Zhebie can't tell what it is, but he just thinks it's weird and doesn't look like a six-year-old child.
The crisis finally passed. Only then did Guo Mo have the opportunity to seriously look at his big brother in front of him.
I saw that Guo Jing was half a head taller than me. He should be nearly 1.3 meters tall by visual inspection, which is considered tall for a child over six years old.
He has thick eyebrows, big eyes, thick lips, big hands and feet, and his skin is somewhat tanned due to being exposed to the wind and sun from running outside all day long.
Is this my eldest brother Guo Jing? Is this the hero Guo who will be respected by countless people in later generations as "a great chivalrous person who serves the country and the people"?
After thinking about all the shining achievements in Guo Jing's life, I always felt that nothing matched up with the naive child in front of me.
At this time, Guo Jing seemed to have remembered something and hurriedly came to Guo Mo: "Brother, you were whipped just now. Do you still feel pain now? I'll go find medicine for you."
After hearing what Guo Jing said, Guo Mo realized that he was also injured. Fortunately, there was no bleeding, and now it was just a dull pain.
But seeing Guo Jing looking so nervous about him made my heart warm. You know, the whip mark on Guo Jing's own head was even more serious.
