Hearing that voice, Li Xian looked intently, only to find that Xue Ne was a fair-skinned young man, seven feet tall, who seemed to be very thin, but with bright eyes.
"What a handsome young man!" After looking at this man, Li Xian couldn't help but give a thumbs up in his heart and praised him endlessly.
However, Cheng Yaojin did not stop the movement of his hands. He waited until he finished practicing the marksmanship, then jumped off the horse and gasped: "Hey, hey, hey, I just finished practicing this set of marksmanship."
, he actually started to pant. It seems that this is Lao Cheng’s last battle on the battlefield.”
After laughing at himself, Cheng Yaojin asked the visitor again: "General Xue, if you didn't follow General Pang to train soldiers, how did you get here?"
But I heard Na Xue Ne say: "General Pang felt that his nephew was too young. Not only was he unable to help, but he also caused trouble for him, so he sent his nephew to the general accountant. The nephew was originally going to report to the general accountant.
But I heard the guard said that the general manager was here, so my nephew chased him here. Haha, fortunately, my nephew came here and saw Uncle Cheng's amazing spear skills. It was really eye-opening for my nephew. This
, this, my nephew would like to ask, can Uncle Cheng teach this set of spear skills to my nephew? "
Xue Ne's personality is just like his name, dull and silent, taciturn. This time he was able to call Cheng Yaojin Uncle Cheng and said so many words to him. It was definitely the most talkative time in his life.
, and the main reason why Xue Ne was able to muster up the courage to say so many words was his incomparable desire for Cheng Yaojin's gun skills. This strong desire pushed him to put aside his shyness and face, and first praised,
Later, he took the initiative to learn gun skills.
But Cheng Yaojin didn't want to do this, because although he had some friendship with Xue Rengui, the father of Xue Na, and even among the Xue family members in Hedong, there were many people who had a close relationship, but none of them were close friends. Although now he is just a close friend.
A commoner, Xue Rengui was a third-rank Zuowuwei general, but he did not value him. What's more, he was twenty-five years older than Xue Rengui, almost a generation older. In addition, he regarded himself as a veteran of the three dynasties and the founder of the country.
Hero, it doesn't matter if you don't buy Xue Rengui's favor.
Therefore, Cheng Yaojin said calmly: "I am getting old and there are too many people to teach me. Please forgive me, General Xue."
"Ah? This..." Xue Ne never thought about it. After much deliberation and struggle, he finally plucked up the courage to speak out his request, but was immediately rejected by the other party. He suddenly became at a loss and dumb.
He was speechless, and his fair face turned red from shame.
Looking at the disappointed look in front of him, Li Xian's heart suddenly moved, thinking that he could take this opportunity to win over this Xue Na. After all, this person can be regarded as a famous general in history. If he can use this talented person
Recruiting his subordinates will definitely become a big help in the future.
At this moment, I heard Cheng Yaojin say coldly: "If you have nothing to do, General Xue, please do it yourself. I still have important matters to discuss with the King of Zhou."
Hearing this, Xue Ne could only sigh softly, turned around wordlessly, and then sadly prepared to leave.
At this moment, Li Xian was suddenly heard saying loudly: "Wait a minute."
Xue Ne suddenly felt sluggish all over, then slowly looked at Li Xian and said coldly: "I wonder if the chief manager has any other instructions? If nothing happens, the general will retire."
It turned out that Xue Ne saw that Li Xian was younger than him and had never experienced martial arts before. He must not be too advanced, but he could easily be taught this superb set of marksmanship. All he relied on was his status as a prince.
If he were a prince, it is expected that Cheng Yaojin would not dare to refuse to teach him this set of spear skills. Take today as an example. If it were not for Li Xian's status as a prince, I believe that as long as he is compared with Li Xian, Cheng Yaojin
He will definitely choose to be his disciple. It is also based on this thought that Xue Ne believes that what happened today must be the hateful Li Xian who blocked his opportunity. In this case, Xue Ne is indifferent to Li Xian.
It's excusable.
Since Li Xian decided to win over Xue Ne, how could he let go of this opportunity? At the same time, how could he be angry with the other party? So, he just smiled faintly, stepped forward and took Xue Ne's hand, and then said: "Brother Xue, you don't have to
Angry, Xiao Wang just wants to ask, is Brother Xue really willing to learn gun skills from General Cheng?"
"So what?" Although Xue Ne knew that he would be humiliating himself if he continued to speak, but when he saw Li Xian asking this question, he still couldn't help but have a thought in his heart and said casually.
But Li Xian laughed and said: "As long as Brother Xue is really willing, things will be much easier to handle. As long as Brother Xue has no objections, Xiao Wang can plead with General Cheng and allow Brother Xue to learn gun skills from him."
"Is this true?" After hearing what Li Xian said, Xue Ne glanced at Cheng Yaojin quietly, and then said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid General Cheng may not be willing to buy the king's face."
Li Xian glanced at Cheng Yaojin. Seeing that Cheng Yaojin had no objection, he said: "Old General Cheng, I am also here. Xiao Wang would like to ask for a favor for Brother Xue. I hope
The old general, considering Xiao Wang's thin face, can give Brother Xue a chance."
But I heard Cheng Yaojin sneer and say: "Your Majesty, what you said is a bit too much, isn't it? Old Cheng was willing to teach your Majesty the skill of spear, but he was forced to agree because he owed others a favor. Now, your Majesty actually relies on it."
It is unbearable to force Lao Cheng to be suppressed by his status. However, the king has underestimated Lao Cheng. The three armies can seize the commander, but an ordinary man cannot seize the will. Not to mention the king, even the current Holy Emperor can hardly make Lao Cheng
Do things you don’t want to do, hey, no matter what, Lao Cheng can be regarded as a founding hero following the late emperor, and is listed as one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion. If Lao Cheng firmly refuses, what can the king do?"
Li Xian couldn't help being startled when he heard this. He thought that Lao Cheng would reluctantly agree, but he didn't expect that he would reject it outright and even put his qualifications in front of him. This approach was definitely not in line with Lao Cheng's usual style.
But after thinking about it, Li Xian understood what Lao Cheng meant. This was obviously to create difficulty and let Xue Neling accept his affection. He felt deeply moved in his heart. The old man tried his best to help.
I am really amiable and respectable.
"This old fox is still playing tricks at this time, but this old fox is so kind, how can I refuse? Xue Ne, Xue Ne, I have to wrong you today."
Li Xian thought of this and immediately made a decision, and then said displeasedly: "What does General Cheng mean by this? Is it because he doesn't want to give me face? Don't forget, you are just a veteran now.
I have been ordered to serve under my command, and King Erben is the general manager of the Liaodong Road March and is responsible for all military affairs in the entire campaign. How dare you disobey my command!"
"Hey, what can you do if you don't listen? Old Cheng, I have always said one is one, and two is two. Since I agree to teach the king martial arts, it is also a deal with others. I have to do it, but don't worry, the king. Although I am not willing
, but you will go all out to fulfill your promise. However, since you refuse to teach the spear skills to Xiao Xue, you will not change it unless you are willing to agree to a condition as a deal."
"I don't know what the conditions are? Just ask me, as long as Xiao Wang can do it, I will definitely be satisfied with you." Li Xian smiled, and seeing the old man and the young man at odds, he quickly tried to persuade him but was speechless.
Xue Na smiled indifferently.
"Okay, this is what the king said, and Lao Cheng said it. If the king wants Lao Cheng to teach this little Xue spearmanship, he can't do it. Unless the king is willing to pay a thousand dollars as a fee, hehe, Lao Cheng has nothing to do now.
As an official, the title of Duke Lu was also taken away by the eldest son, Chu. Now I have no money, so if I can earn some money for the coffin, I might consider it."
"What do you mean? A thousand guan? In my opinion, you might as well go and rob!" Li Xian almost jumped up when he heard this, pointed at Lao Cheng's nose, and exclaimed exaggeratedly.
"Hehe, Lao Cheng didn't force the king to pay. The king doesn't have to pay at all." Cheng Yaojin twirled the beard on his chest and said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, I don't want to learn anymore. I really can't afford this thousand dollars. Even my father can't raise this much money. Let's forget about it. Your Majesty, I will definitely be grateful in my heart."
." Xue Ne's heart suddenly sank when he saw Cheng bite the golden lion and opened his mouth. Seeing that Li Xian was still comfortable quarreling with him and filing a lawsuit, he quickly advised him.
But Li Xian waved his hand and said, "Brother Xue, don't try to persuade me any more. It's just a mere thousand dollars, and Xiao Wang can still raise it. Humph, Old General Cheng, this time, Xiao Wang owes you, until the war is over."
After that, how about Xiao Wang repaying 1,200 guan? If General Cheng doesn’t believe it, Xiao Wang can make a written note on the spot.”
However, Cheng Yaojin on the side did not intend to agree just like that, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, Lao Cheng doesn't accept credit. This war is so tense. If Lao Cheng dies here, wouldn't he have no chance to pay homage to him?"
The king wants to pay for himself?"
"What does General Cheng want?" Li Xian almost gritted his teeth and said word by word.
"In fact, it's not that difficult. Although the king has no cash, he does have things. Old Cheng, I saw that the three royal horses that the king rides are all very strong. How about not giving one to Old Cheng?" Cheng Yaojin pointed his fingers.
Pointing at the Qingshuang Royal Horse he had just ridden, he said with a smirk on his face.
Before Li Xian opened his mouth, the guard dressed as Dou Xiantong said loudly: "How can this be possible? The royal horse the king rides on is the best in the garden. Each one is worth at least three thousand guan, and it is still marketable.
It’s really hateful that General Cheng took the opportunity to extort money.”
Although Cheng Yaojin didn't know that this young guard was disguised as a woman, he knew that he must be someone favored and trusted by Li Xian. Seeing that this person could help him at the most critical moment, he couldn't help but secretly sigh at his cleverness.
He looked at the other party a few more times, and then sneered: "Give it or not, Lao Cheng doesn't care anyway, but the opportunity is critical. If Lao Cheng dies on the battlefield this time, wrapped in horse leather, I'm afraid this set of marksmanship will never be seen again in the world."
No one can understand it."
"Humph, it really doesn't work. It's not too late to wait until I learn it and pass it on to Brother Xue." Li Xian seemed to be dissatisfied with Cheng Yaojin's blackmail and said loudly.
But I heard Cheng Yaojin sneer and say: "Old Cheng is not boasting. If this set of spear skills does not wait for twenty or thirty years, there is no hope of success. By the time the king succeeds, Xiao Xue will be over half a century old."
, to learn marksmanship at this time is tantamount to superfluous, not only useless, but harmful."
"Stop talking anymore. As long as I promise, this Qingshuang will return to Old General Cheng." Li Xian's eyes were full of anger and he said every word through gritted teeth. This chapter has been completed!
