Chapter 222: Li Jing is cautious throughout his life (1)

The two brothers, Lu Chengsi and Lu Ke, followed Liu Sanbian into the Li Mansion. What they saw was a huge martial arts field. There were many weapons on both sides of the martial arts field, including eighteen types of weapons.

The cold light flashed, and a murderous aura was revealed, which made people feel terrified.

"The general is proficient in eighteen kinds of martial arts. Although he is getting older, he still has to practice for half an hour every morning before he can rest." Liu Sanbian obviously often visited the general's residence and knew Li Jing's living habits very clearly.

Chu, in his words, he also understood the purpose of the two young princes coming here.

"You can never leave your hands while flexing your mouth. Xiao Wang still understands this truth. If he can be a disciple of a great general, he will naturally learn from his teacher and practice martial arts diligently." Lu Ke, who is young but mature, couldn't help but nodded after hearing this.

said.

"Magistrate Liu, how far is it from the general's office?" Lu Chengsi frowned and asked involuntarily. Apparently he was a little impatient.

"We're here not far ahead." Magistrate Liu responded quickly: "Your Highnesses, listen, there is the sound of horse hooves ahead."

Before Lu Chengsi and Lu Ke could react, they felt the earth shake. It was like an earth dragon turning over, and then they heard the sound of thousands of horses neighing, which shook the sky.

"Haha!" Suddenly, among the neighing of the war horses, an old laughter passed into the ears of the two of them. They were shocked. Although the voice was old, it was full of energy. It could penetrate the roar of thousands of horses.

You can feel the sound when you hear it. It seems like it can penetrate gold and stone and tear the sky apart.

"Is this the general's voice?" Lu Chengsi's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked in surprise.

"Probably only Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Liang and the General can do this kind of skill in the world." Liu Sanbian stroked the beard under his chin, with a look of complacency on his face.

The four of them walked for about a quarter of an hour before passing through a trail. On the opposite side of the trail was a gate, about two people high. Under the gate, stood a middle-aged man who looked exactly like Li Jing, but had a different face.

He has a loyal look, and his eyes are not as bright as Li Jing's.

"It is the second son of the Li family, Li De, who rewards Li Lang. The eldest son, Li Dejian, was appointed as the general's young eunuch by His Majesty and is not here at the moment." Liu Sanbian then explained: "Your Highnesses, this is not a place that I can enter.

Your Highnesses, please." After saying that, he ignored Lu Chengsi and walked out.

"Your Highnesses, by order of my father, I would like to invite you to meet." What surprised the two brothers Lu Chengsi was that although Li Dejiao was not very good-looking and was far different from Li Jing, he was very polite.

He abides by the way of being a minister, behaves in a well-behaved manner, and does not show any arrogance due to Li Jing's position, which makes the two brothers have some good impressions.

"Thank you very much, Li Lang." Although these two people are far younger than Li Dejiang in front of them, who gave them a good father! If they call him uncle, then Lu Zhaoci will fall down a generation out of thin air, even if

If the two of them dare to shout, I am afraid Li De will not dare to accept the award.

"Don't dare, don't dare." While the three of them were talking, Li Dejiang was also sizing up the two princes in front of him. Li Dejiang in Beijing knew a little about the prince's turmoil back then. Now His Majesty's three

A son, there are two people appearing at this moment, they are of the Tian family blood, they are indeed extraordinary.

The three of them followed Li Dexiang through the fence again, and what they saw was an open space, faint green grass, vast grasslands, endless mountain peaks in the distance, countless war horses, and clear streams.

It passes through the grassland and flows into the distance. If everyone didn't know that this is Sanyuan, they might have thought that they had reached the vast grassland of Saibei at this time. It is amazing...

"Wow, there are so many war horses!" Lu Chengsi's eyes shone and he couldn't help but say in surprise. Although the Tang Dynasty did not lack war horses, it was not particularly wealthy, and it was rare for so many to appear at one time.

What's more, these two brothers mostly stayed in the palace in Chang'an City, so how could they have the chance to see such a war horse.

"Your Highness, there are 50,000 war horses here!" Li De said with a hint of pride in his words: "Since my father took refuge here, he concentrated on raising horses, collecting good horses from the army and the market, and bringing them with him.

I came here in the hope of breeding horses as good as those of the Turks. Now there are 50,000 of them."

"The general has served the country so well and deserves a heavy reward!" Lu Ke showed a hint of admiration on his young face, cupped his hands and said: "After the little king returns to the palace, he must tell his father about the situation here.

."

"Yes, the general's hard work has paid off!" Lu Chengsi also nodded and said: "If possible, I would like to stay here and practice martial arts while serving the general. I can also contribute to our Tang Dynasty. Xiao Wang

It’s also done willingly.”

"Thank you so much to the two princes." Li Dejiang quickly handed over his hand and said with a look of joy on his face.

"I wonder where the general is now?" He Bao couldn't help but ask.

"Father is right there." Li Dejiang pointed to the distance. Everyone looked over and saw a thatched pavilion on a hill not far away. In the pavilion, there was an old man, dressed in cloth.

He has a fluttering silver beard. If everyone didn't know his identity, they would have thought he was an old man in the field!

"Let's go, Erlang, let's go meet the general." Lu Chengsi's eyes lit up and he patted Lu Ke's shoulder and said. Lu Ke frowned and moved his feet slightly. Inadvertently, his shoulder suddenly broke away from the opponent's shoulder.

He raised his legs and walked towards the hill. As if he didn't feel it, Lu Chengsi followed him. Only Li Dejiao, who was standing behind him, shook his head secretly. They started to be hostile to each other at such a young age.

It will be fine when you grow up.

"The little king pays homage to the general."

"Lu Ke has met the general."

Under the grass pavilion, the two brothers met the general together, with extremely respectful expressions. This came from the two people's minds. On the one hand, Li Jing was indeed a respectable elder. On the other hand, Li Jing represented the military.

Fang, whoever can become his disciple will have access to the vast resources of the military.

"Haha. Two young princes, please get up." Li Jing laughed loudly. He had a rosy complexion, bright eyes, and full of vitality. He looked like an old man.

"The last general, He Bao, pays homage to the general." Unlike Lu Chengsi and the other two, He Bao bowed respectfully to the ground, with a look of reverence in his eyes.

"You are probably the successor to General He Panrenhe. Yes, you went to Shu for some experience. You have indeed made some progress." Li Jing nodded with a smile and said with a smile: "He Lang, you are also a person who was born on the battlefield.

Let’s take a look at the horses in front of you.”

"Returning to the general, these horses are all top-quality horses, and you will like them at the first sight." He Bao's eyes shone when he saw the horses eating green grass not far away.

"But it's a pity, it's still not as good as the Turkic war horses!" Li Jing shook his head and said: "However, I do have a few high-quality war horses here. Your Highnesses, please tell me one by one.

"After saying that, he stood up and walked down the mountain with a smile.

"Hey! General!" Seeing this, Lu Chengsi reached out and was about to stop Li Jing, but was pulled back by Lu Ke.

"That's great, General." Lu Ke also showed a hint of curiosity on his face, and followed closely, as if he was really curious about the horses Li Jing was talking about. When Lu Chengsi saw this, his face

He suddenly showed a trace of thought, and after a while, he shook his head and followed. Li Dejiao and He Bao looked at each other and smiled, followed the three of them, and walked down the mountain...

As everyone walked along, they saw Li Jing, with a smile on his face, pointing out the war horses on the grassland to brothers Lu Chengsi and Lu Ke. He spoke in a lively and interesting manner, from how to choose a horse to how to raise a war horse, etc.

Waiting, they talked for several hours, and the words were very colorful. Among the people, only He Bao listened with gusto, his eyes shone, and Li Dejiao still had a look of respect on his face. These things were taught by Li Jing, the leader.

After passing him, he just listened to it again. Only the two brothers, Lu Chengsi and Lu Ke, felt itchy in their hearts and were extremely impatient. However, they had no choice but to hold their thoughts and listen carefully.

"Your Highnesses, this war horse matter is a state matter, related to the life and death of the country, and should not be underestimated!" Finally, Li Jing stopped. When everyone looked at the sky again, it was already past noon.

"Erlang, prepare some food to enjoy with the two princes." Li Jing said again.

"The child has ordered people to prepare meals for the prince to eat." Li Dejiang said quickly.

"Okay, okay." Li Jing said with a smile. After saying that, he took the lead and left.

"Brother, I wonder if you can tell. Judging from the attitude of the general, I am afraid he is not willing to accept you and me as his disciples!" Brothers Lu Chengsi and Lu Ke walked behind Li Jing, and Lu Ke whispered.

"Yes! We've been talking about it for a few hours, but we don't talk about apprenticeship. Obviously, I don't want you and me to talk about it." Lu Chengsi thought about it and nodded.

"Then ask?" Lu Ke pursed his lips and said.

"General, General, my father asked my two brothers to come here because they want to become my disciples. I also ask the General to agree." Lu Chengsi stepped forward and paid homage.

"Become a disciple?" Li Jing said in surprise: "I wonder what your highnesses want to learn? To learn the tactics of marching and fighting, you can go to the martial arts school at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain. There are many military generals there who teach there. If you want to learn martial arts

Speaking of Tao, hey, your two highnesses, don’t you know that the most powerful general here is your majesty, and the second ranked is your highness the King of Liang. I am only ranked at the bottom among the generals, not worth learning, not worthy of learning.

Haha!" Li Jing shook his head.

"But?" Lu Chengsi was about to speak, but was stopped again by Lu Ke standing on the side.

"Haha, I just don't know when the general will go to the martial arts school to teach the art of using troops?" Lu Ke asked quickly.
