Northern Dynasties

Chapter 177
There are many nobles and dignitaries in and out of Huazhou City, and there are many people who gallop on horses and wander around in and out of the city.

Duguxin was already the coolest guy when he was young, but he became more powerful in middle age, handsome and more graceful, and his subordinates were all dressed in fresh clothes and angry horses, rode their horses on the street, and the effect of blowing up the street was full, It soon attracted many people to follow and watch, and there was an endless stream of people greeting loudly from the left side of the road.

Duguxin was in a bad mood at the moment, he mostly ignored the greetings, his lips were slightly pursed, his brows were deeply furrowed, his aloofness made people feel intimidated, so many rich and powerful children who planned to follow the escorts were afraid, Dare to follow.

But there are still many people watching this line of guards of honor and discussing, full of proud emotion: "Dugu's opening of the mansion is worthy of being the facade of our Beizhen, so majestic and majestic, really like a heavenly man! It is really impressive to follow those Hexi Dama Envious, when will I be able to find it in Guannei City?"

Someone also noticed Li Tai in the team: "Who is that handsome young man behind Dugu Kaifu? He looks familiar, but he can't remember which family he is from. Although he is not as prestigious as Kaifu, it is also eye-catching and unforgettable. No wonder Dugu Kaifu invited him as a close follower..."

Li Tai was well-known in the official circles of the Western Wei Dynasty, but most of the people he interacted with were from the old generation of Shiliu, and he did not have a strong sense of presence in his daily communication.

In today's Huazhou City, there is no stable circle of dandyism that can exchange information. Those families who have grown rich from their ancestors often settle in Chang'an. Some strange.

But he does have the quality that people can never forget, and some people can recognize it at a glance: "The boy's name is Li Boshan, a new guest from the East, and he was a student of Grand Master He Ba before, so he was taken care of by Dugu Kaifu. .”

"This is already old news. Li Boshan is not some vulgar young man relying on others' influence. Therefore, the grand master's family business depends on him, and the children of the Heba family all depend on him for a living. During the grand ceremony a month ago, he even had to be appointed as the governor. It's not big, but its own position has already made the old people of the current situation beyond their reach!"

A well-informed person showed off his new knowledge loudly, and the people around him couldn't help being surprised when they heard this, and their eyes were full of envy when they looked at Li Tai from a distance.

The children of Beizhen respect merit and power, and for them, an existence like Li Tai is simply the goal of a happy life and a model of success in youth.

All kinds of comments inevitably spread to the team, and the spectators didn't think it was impolite to talk about others in person, and their tone of voice was unrestrained, and some even pointed at Li Tai and shouted to make him jump.

Hearing these discussions, Li Tai couldn't help but feel a little shy when he was secretly happy. After all, he still hadn't recovered from the embarrassment just now, so he looked guiltily at Dugu Xin's expression sideways.

Dugu Xin did not look sideways, and rode his horse all the way out of the city from the south gate of the city. After he was outside the city, he looked back at Li Tai and said, "I don't know that Li Lang is quite popular in the city. But don’t hold back, do your best, and don’t disappoint the masses!”

At first glance, these words sounded like the elders' casual encouragement to the younger generation, but in such an atmosphere, Li Tai tasted a tinge of anger, and lowered his head with a dry smile: "The spectators don't judge right and wrong, the rumors are bound to be exaggerated. If it wasn't for the tour Open the government, the masses may not know me..."

Dugu Xin seemed not to have heard Li Tai's words. He glanced at Li Tai's back and said, "It turns out that there is a knife but no bow. Use the weapon. Come here, give Li Lang a bow!"

These words brought a little emotion, Li Tai only sighed secretly in his heart, what is your family's generation is irrelevant to me, my family's generation is not my choice, why do you have to be emotional when you talk about it?
He only dared to say these words in his heart, but he didn't dare to provoke Dugu Xin any more. Under the watchful eyes of Dugu Xin, he took the horse bow and Hu Lu from his trilogy, hung them on his waist together, and said : "The elders are driven, dare not refuse, and show their ugliness from time to time, hoping to tolerate clumsiness."

"It's clumsy or a coincidence, it's not too early to say. It's crazy or modest, the human eye can tell the difference."

Dugu Xin said this again, seeing a cavalry team coming on the avenue, he turned his horse's head and headed towards the west of Huazhou City.

In the early winter season, the fields are desolate, and the scenery is even more desolate in the field of vision more than ten miles away from the city.

There are many hunting teams in the wild, and Dugu Xin and his party are full of style, especially attracting attention.Some stayed away from far away, not daring to disturb the interest of the powerful nobleman, while others ordered the slaves to scatter to look for prey, and drove to Dugu Xin and his party to add to the fun.

Whoosh!
An arrow flew out and nailed a slightly fat running fox rabbit to the ground. The people around saw this and clapped and applauded, praising the wonderful shot.

With a smile on the corner of Duguxin's mouth, he waved his arms to the left and right with a little restraint, and raised his finger to point at the subordinates who were about to shoot, but looked at Li Tai.

Li Tai knew that he was being targeted, so he could only hold the bow and draw an arrow. After the arrow feathers were strung, he aimed slightly, and the flying arrow shot straight at a hare running several feet away.

As soon as the arrow came off the string, he knew something was wrong. The bow is a far more intimate weapon than the sword, and the slightest difference in feel can have a great impact, so he subconsciously drew another arrow and continued to draw the string.

Sure enough, the forward arrow was so powerful that it directly hit the hare a few feet in front of it, and the splashed soil and grass fell on the rabbit's head, scaring the hare for more than a foot. The hare pierced through the arrow before it penetrated deeply into the ground again.

The applause from Zuo Jin was even louder, but the Dugu Xinbu who were nearest did not make a sound, they just looked at their lords one after another.

"That's right, although it's not a straight shot, connecting arrows requires more skill."

Dugu Xin nodded slightly, and raised his hand to signal Bu Qu to go forward to pick up the prey, and then said to Li Tai: "A man is alive, you can be lazy and uneducated, but you can't be stupid. I haven't figured out why the old grand master favored Li Lang alone? Now that I see your skills, I don't have any experience.

It is inevitable to live in peace, especially those who are anointed by the disciples, who are often incapable of making a living sensitively and are short of survival in chaos. Although they have an appearance of prosperity, they will wither after frost.Ease and pleasure are deeply rooted in human nature. Li Lang, you can not be proud of yourself, you need to endure double the hardships of ordinary people, and you can have such skills, which are more worthy of appreciation. "

Li Tai was targeted along the way, and finally heard a few words of praise from Dugu Xin, and he was a little flattered for a while: "The way is common, and it is common knowledge in the world to feel danger and know difficulties, and thieves and officials are rampant. For the sake of reason, Wang Ye hunted in the west, but he used his strength to rectify it.

Dugu Kaifu and other moral models in the world are still diligent in the affairs of the king, unwilling to honor the old honor and want to enjoy themselves. Those who are sheltered by the younger generation dare to be content with leisure and leisure. It is the duty to stand up for yourself! "

After Dugu Xin heard this, he was slightly relieved, and pointed to the fleeing foxes and rabbits in the wilderness and said: "There are many clever words in the world, but if you want to know people, you must observe deeds. Daxing Taibing Talisman gives you, But wondering what you should expand is useless.

I will not rely on my strengths to drive me by force. If I shoot something in the wild today, I will give you an elite soldier, armored horse, and staff!Speech is thrown here, the masses testify, how much you can get, it depends on your skills! "

Hearing this, Li Tai immediately beamed with joy.He came to visit this time precisely for this purpose. He was still worried that Dugu Xin might have a grudge because of the previous incident and would not support him anymore, but he didn't expect that he would put a price on it and not give himself a few hundred dollars. An elite armed force, worthy of this opportunity given by Dugu Xin?
"There are not many prey here, so go to another place where there are few people. Put away your bow and don't let the younger generation misunderstand that I am stingy and make things difficult."

Seeing that Li Tai was eager to try, Duguxin gave instructions to his subordinates.

So the group left the open field that had been hunted countless times, and turned to Shangyuan Poling in the west.It's just that Dugu Xin's popularity is too high, and there are still many people who lead the crowd to follow him, and thousands of people have gathered back and forth.

Li Tai has no time to think about other things at the moment. He holds the bow in one hand and twists the arrow in the other. Whenever there is any trouble in the field, he will look over it at the first time, lest he miss any prey.

Because of the real motivation, his archery level has also risen in a straight line. At first, he still missed a few arrows, but gradually he felt better, and basically every arrow was sure to hit.Concentrating on nothing else, Hu Lu reached behind his back but found nothing, only to find that he had shot more than [-] prey.

"Would you like to take a break?"

Although the horse bow is soft and labor-saving, shooting dozens of arrows is still a heavy burden on the arm. Dugu Xin saw that Li Tai's right arm was already trembling, so he spoke from the side.

Li Tai didn't have time to answer, he raised his hand and waved it, took a Hu Lu full of arrows and replaced it, and then rode forward to look for a new target.

After Dugu Xin saw this, he shook his head and sighed, then turned his head to look at the spectators around him and said: "This member is named Li Boshan, he is a good-natured junior of mine, and he is also a rookie in the Taiwan government. Let's go hunting today and test him Please bear with me a little bit and help this disciple drive things forward!"

After everyone heard the words, they agreed with a loud bang, and then scattered in the mountains and fields. Soon, many prey were driven from the four fields, and Li Tai didn't need to bother looking for them anymore, he just had to draw his bow and shoot forward.

Duguxin was still enjoying Li Tai's shooting with great interest at the beginning, but when he saw that he picked up more and more prey, but Li Tai was still tireless like a human-shaped fort, the relaxed smile on his face gradually faded.

"Okay, stop it, don't shoot anymore!"

Seeing that Li Tai's physical strength was gradually exhausted, and his figure became shaky from the moment he got to the ground, but he still refused to stop, Dugu Xin finally couldn't help but stepped forward, snatched the bow from Li Tai's hand, and held it up. Looking at him, he sighed and said, "Even though Erlang is brave, he must not be aggressive! Three hundred armored horses and equipment will be sent to your village tomorrow. If they are too little, they are not enough to express their intentions, and if they are too many, I can't take them out!"

After venting his breath, Li Tai was a little unsteady, and his arms were hanging by his side, he was almost unconscious, but he also understood that even if his arms were lost, he would not be able to shoot [-] prey in one day. He nodded and said, "Thank you, thank you Dugu for opening the mansion..."

"Skills are short, but friendship is long. Boy Youyou is so tenacious, if you go to the battle next year and are captured and snatch the treasured sword, I will not spare you!"

Duguxin pushed Li Tai to the step forward to support him, looked at the saber and said harshly.
