Chapter 619 Marksman Showdown, Xiaoyang Youji Helps You Practice Your Hands
(Thank you for the tip this week, Master loves you so much...)
After agreeing with Sun Jing, Chen Xizhen and others that Hua Rong and Chen Liqing would compete in archery skills in two days, Chen Xizhen looked at Xiao Tang, Hua Rong, Liu Qi and others with deep meaning in his eyes, and then took Chen Liqing and others to relax.
Slowly left.
Among them, Zhen Dayi, whose cheek was swollen and oozing blood, was furious with shame, but Xiao Tang was in a high position and used his unpredictable skills to teach him a lesson. Zhen Dayi knew it well.
Without the help of Chen Xizhen and others, he was no match for Xiao Tang. At this time, his compatriot Zhen Xianglin also slowly walked up to him and advised in a low voice: "Brother, the days are long and there is room for Xiao Tang."
You were so arrogant for a while, and Chen Daozi made the decision for you, why are you worried that you won't have a chance to avenge your shame in the future?"
Hearing this, Zhen Dayi spat bloody phlegm on the ground again, gritted his teeth but mumbled a few words incomprehensibly, and had no choice but to leave with Zhen Xianglin and Chen Xizhen.
Feng Mei and Bi Sheng, who had been standing there dumbfounded, breathed a sigh of relief at this moment. The two of them did not want to offend Xiao Tang.
He also didn’t want his goodwill towards Xiao Tang to be noticed by celebrities around Gao Qiu such as Sun Jing and Chen Xizhen. If any one of them intends to punish them and gossips about Gao Qiu, the hard-earned official position will be lost.
Will everything turn into a dream in a blink of an eye?
Now I heard that Xiao Tang's subordinate Hua Rong and Chen Xizhen's daughter Chen Liqing had verbally agreed to use bows and arrows to determine the outcome, even life and death. Fengmei, Bi Sheng casually said that he wished Huatiha could show off his skills, and so on, and then hurriedly said to
Xiao Tang resigned, fearing that if he stayed for too long, other officials in the Palace Commander's house would see him and go to Gao Qiu to listen to their tongues.
But Liu Qi frowned, and he couldn't help but snorted: "It's true that arrows have no eyes. Since he is a general in the army, why do he have to use this method to decide the outcome after becoming a general? The palace commander's palace is like Sun.
Jing, Chen Xizhen and those men and women are only interested in intrigues. If you are not careful, a soldier in the army will not serve the country in the side court, but he will destroy the life of his comrades in the army in Bianjing?"
Xiao Tang also gave a long sigh and said to Liu Qi: "Little official, since Sui Sui is staying in the Palace Commander's Mansion during this period, I don't need to tell you exactly how Gao Qiu behaves in Bianjing. Just.
For the sake of selfish ends, forming parties and excluding dissidents, many of the soldiers in Bianjing only care about flattering the superior officials, and are always in fear, and the blood and ambition in their chests have been worn away. In order not to be framed by the bad guys, we must also fight with the powerful sycophants in the DPRK.
And act according to circumstances.”
Liu Qi was silent when he heard this. He also knew very well that if his father Liu Zhongwu wanted to have a smooth career, he must cooperate closely with Gao Qiu. Xiao Tang and Gao Qiu were competing for power in the Bianjing Military Division, and the conflict had also ended.
It is becoming more and more obvious. Liu Qi also knows that according to the Liu family's position, he is on the opposite side of Xiao Tang. However, compared to the notorious figures such as Gao Qiu and Chen Xizhen, he, a young general, still has a stronger impression of Xiao Tang.
a little better.
In fact, counting Liu Zhongwu's descendants, Liu Qi also had several brothers such as Liu Xi, Liu Zhao, Liu Rui, etc. This time Liu Zhongwu went to Bianliang, Tokyo, to meet with officers and generals under the arrangement of Gao Qiu, and was appointed as a bodyguard and infantryman.
Army Chief Long, the commander of the Second Guards of Shendu, only took Liu Qi to visit the capital. It was precisely because his father had the highest expectations for him. Even if Liu Qi despised Gao Qiu's character, he could only rely on him.
His father's relationship with Gao Qiu meant that he would seek a career in the officialdom. However, the Liu family bore the stigma of being a member of Gao Qiu's family, and Xiao Tang must have known that very well.
After hesitating for a while, Liu Qi simply went straight to the point and said to Xiao Tang: "At that time, Taiwei Gao obeyed the imperial decree and served as a supervisor to conquer the Qiang prince Zang Zhengpu brother and the Tubo tribes who rebelled against us in the Song Dynasty. His 'war exploits'
Most likely, it was due to my father's position in the army, and my father also knew very well why the officials dispatched Gao Qiu and entrusted him to him, and he was happy to be a favor, so that Gao Qiu took most of the credit, and now he is able to do three things.
Lieutenant Commander..."
In the fourth year of Chongning, the Song Dynasty wanted to take over the Qingtang Dynasty, but my father failed to rescue Gao Yongnian when he was patrolling the capital of Linzhou, so he was killed by the Qiang leader Doroba. He was responsible for the defeat, and my father should have been sentenced to death.
The sentence of demotion and exile was mediated by Lieutenant Gao, so that my father was promoted instead of being demoted and held an important position in the Western Army. My Liu family and Lieutenant Gao have a very close relationship, and Xiao Jieshuai also has a close relationship with Lieutenant Gao.
Taiwei Gao fought fiercely in Bianjing... Meng Xun appreciated the courtesy, but Xiao Ke was recommended by Taiwei Gao, and Xiao Jieshuai made friends with me, but he didn't care about the relationship between my Liu family and Taiwei Gao? "
Xiao Tang smiled faintly and said: "Both your father and I, Xiao Tang, are warriors in the army who earn their country's salary. A small official intends to imitate your father and make contributions to the country, so he must not be wholeheartedly willing to serve Gao Qiu, right? Since that is the case.
Your Majesty and I share the same palace and serve as ministers. One day, I may not be able to become a colleague in the army like you. What does it matter about the differences between the factions in the court?"
Liu Qi was startled when he heard the words, and the joy on his face gradually became clear. Liu Qi praised Xiao Tang's attack and said: "That's it! Since we are all strong and iron-blooded soldiers of the Song Dynasty, why should we be like poor and rotten scholars in the court?
So much care? No matter when in the court, there are always powerful and powerful people who engage in intrigues and deceptions for their own benefit. Although Wu Erlang has a strong ambition, he will not be able to use up all the mechanisms like others.
Xiao Ke admires and respects Xiao Ke for his insight and consideration! One day, I also hope to fight side by side with Xiao Jieshuai... Now my father is about to be dispatched to Bianting to plan the attack on Hengshan.
, and Marshal Xiao Jie is training new troops in the east of Hedong. At that time, he will send troops from the flanks to control the Xia people in Yinzhou, Hongzhou and other places. Xiao Ke may not have a chance to join forces with Marshal Xiao in Hengshan to protect our country and the country of the Song Dynasty. "
Liu Qi obviously felt that it was a worthwhile trip to get acquainted with Xiao Tang. He bowed his hands and saluted Xiao Tang, then turned to look at Hua Rong and said, "It seems that this general is good at using bows and arrows. In two days,
After that, I will definitely be there to see your skills. I also hope to keep up my energy so that I can show off my skills and avoid being plotted by that gangster. I will take my leave now."
Hua Rong watched Liu Qi's leaving figure and sighed: "I think this Liu Qi is also a descendant of an upright general. Since he comes from generations of generals in the Western Army, how can he get along with that old thief Gao Qiu?"
Xiao Tang shook his head slightly when he heard this, and said with emotion: "The interests of the officials in the imperial court are not black and white, and they can be explained clearly. Although the Liu family currently has to rely on the old man Gao Qiu
The foundation of his power is established, but if Liu Qi is a promising general, he does not need to rely on a treacherous person in the court to achieve immortal achievements."
...........
About an hour later, when Xiao Tang handed over his duties in the Palace Front Division and left the Palace Commander's Mansion to return to his own residence, Hua Rong and Chen Liqing competed with each other at the Bianliang Forbidden Army Academy in Tokyo two days later.
The matter of arrow competition is also spread in the market. Two of them, one is the confidant and favorite general under the famous Ren Xia Xiao Tang, and the other is a hotshot who has been making people jealous in Bianjing in recent days.
Girl, once the news spread, it immediately attracted the attention of everyone in Bianjing.
When Xiao Tang returned to the mansion, he also told Yan Qing, Shi Xiu, Pang Wanchun and other brothers about Hua Rong's preparation for a bow and arrow competition with Chen Liqing. Pang Wanchun, among them, immediately became interested. He hurriedly grabbed Hua Rong and asked:
"Brother Hua Rong, is that woman named Chen Liqing really good at drawing a bow and shooting arrows? Of course I know your skills well. That guy who dares to compete with you in the skill of making arrows full of hair must also have good archery skills.
, I also need to go and see it... Brothers, armed with bows and sharpening arrows, will go to fight with Chen Liqing in two days. Can you get me before? If you can just say something sometimes, I will try my best to help you.
