Chapter 104: Everyone in the world is stupid
Many tents have been set up beside the lush forest farm.
Many people were either riding on horses or leading large horses, holding knives and swords, and carrying bows and arrows on their backs.
Among them was an old man and a young man, each leading a horse and walked into a shady place.
"No matter how famous he is now, he was defeated by me on the hunting ground back then. My martial arts have not declined over the years, but he has become more and more domineering and neglected his martial arts. Today I still want to make him look good!"
The young man was wearing leather armor and spoke with arrogance.
"You must not have such thoughts. Today on the hunting ground, you should be socializing with him, not competing with him!" the older man advised.
"Father, you are too careful. The youngest has been sent away, and the officials have also given words of comfort. What happened before is over. We don't think about Xu Sijun now. We have no conflict with the Li family, so why should we be afraid of him?"
The man was immediately dissatisfied, "What's more, when hunting, it is about bravery. Whoever hunts more prey will have the most ferocious prey. This is the fundamental thing!"
"There are many times of hunting, and this time is not the least of them!" The older man shook his head, then stroked his beard and sighed, "What our Duke of Xun State has to do now is not to show off, but to keep a low profile, especially for Dingxiang.
Hou has obviously laid out a big picture now, it's like opening a net and waiting for prey to jump in. Since we have nothing to do with him, why should we wade into this muddy water?"
This person is clearly the Duke of Xun, and the young man is the Duke's legitimate son, Xun Chu.
"Conspiracies can plot against stupid people, but here, it still depends on the bow and arrow! No matter how many plots and tricks he has, can he still make the prey in the forest unable to hit his arrows?" Xun Chu dismissed it indifferently.
He curled his lips and turned his gaze, "My good friend is here. Father, don't worry. I won't target him, Li Huai, but I won't give in to him either. At most, I won't be in conflict with him!"
"Forget it, just remember these words." Duke Xun said no more. He turned around and saw a young man walking over, so he whispered: "I know you are unhappy because of the youngest.
, but we really can’t take action now, you have to remember that everyone in Chang’an can touch him to be the Marquis of Dingxiang, but we, the Duke of Xun’s Mansion, can’t!”
Xun Chu paused for a moment and lowered his voice: "Father is saying that if you talk to others..."
"I didn't say that." Duke Xun shook his head and greeted the visitor.
The man was dressed in military uniform, with broad shoulders and a thin waist. He was tall and majestic. He noticed Duke Xun's gaze, stopped, straightened his waist, and saluted with his fists cupped.
"I've met the Duke!"
"My nephew is becoming more and more heroic!" Duke Xun had already put away his worries, and now he was calm and nodded slightly. Several guards standing nearby also came over, suddenly full of magnificence, "Is your father here?
?
The man said: "My father is already at the camp, talking with some princes."
"Okay, I'll go take a look. You haven't seen each other for a long time. It's just a good time to catch up on old times." After saying that, Duke Xun left with his bodyguards, leaving behind Xun Chu and the young man.
Xun Chu laughed and said: "The Marquis of Xiangyang came so early. In the past, he always came with the officials."
The man then said: "It will take time. Rumors are spreading in Chang'an right now. Yesterday, my father and several uncles and uncles went to the palace to express their feelings to the officials. When we are about to establish our image, how can we wait deliberately?
The official family is coming!"
This man was Xiang Li, the legitimate son of the Marquis of Xiangyang, and he was considered a leader among the younger generation.
"What you said makes sense," Xun Chu nodded, and then said with a smile, "But today's sage will not wrongly accuse you just because of rumors. After all, we all know in our hearts what happened today.
.”
"Yes, Marquis Dingxiang is showing off his tactics, which is a bit too much." Xiang Li shook his head, with a slight dissatisfaction in his tone.
It’s boring!”
"I think so too!" Xun Chu nodded, and then said, "I know your ability. Since you are dissatisfied, he will also end up hunting later, so you can give him a show of strength and show him!
"
Xiang Li was stunned, glanced at his friend, and suddenly shook his head and said: "This is against the rules. No matter how good Li Huai is, he is still the Marquis of Dingxiang. He is different from you and me. If I provoke, then I will be guilty of the following.
Moreover, before coming here, my father specially told me to restrain my temper today. But you, I heard that your brother suffered a big loss at the hands of Marquis Dingxiang. It is not good on weekdays. It is inevitable that others will use the topic to make fun of it. But this time
On the hunting ground, those who are capable are always respected, so why take a chance?"
Xun Chu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed, shook his head and said: "You are just joking. That matter is my brother's fault. The entire family of Duke Xun has already confessed his fault to the officials for this, how can we hold grudges?"
Xiang Li narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly.
Suddenly, the two of them turned their heads at the same time and looked at a person not far away.
The man was not very old, but he was very handsome, with a sword hanging from his waist, his head held high and his chest held high, and he walked like the wind!
Suddenly, their eyes lit up, and then they looked at each other.
One is called "Huo Weiwei" and the other is called "Brother Huo"!
"Oh?" When the man heard the words, he stopped and looked over. His face suddenly showed joy, "It turned out to be two brothers. The polo match I was waiting for earlier was really exciting. To this day, I still remember it!"
This person is surprisingly the original imperial guard Huo Jing.
"It's still fresh in my memory!"
The two of them hurriedly stepped forward, and after a few words of reminiscing about old times, Xun Chu said: "Today you have to show off your skills again!"
"Yes!" Xiang Li said very cooperatively, "We are all aware of your bravery. Today is just the right time to show off your skills, so that we can see your ability to fight against ten people again! It can also be used to put these days to good use.
The gloom that came has been swept away!”
"My point in itself is nothing," Huo Jing shook his head and said in a sincere tone, "In the final analysis, ten enemies can only dominate a street, which is not as good as those who are truly enemies of a thousand or ten thousand enemies!"
Xun Chu and Xiang Li were stunned and looked at each other. The former asked: "What does it mean to be an enemy with a thousand people and an enemy with ten thousand people?"
"Of course he is a master strategist who can strategize and win decisively thousands of miles away!" Huo Jing said with emotion, "Just like the Marquis of Dingxiang, sitting at home, concentrating on the military strategist, now he comes out of the mountain, not only can he speak of the power of the world,
As soon as the plan came out, it stirred up the situation in Chang'an, and those young men gradually emerged, and they should be regarded as role models for our generation!"
"..."
Xun Chu and Xiang Li both remained silent, their expressions gradually becoming cold.
"By the way," Huo Jing suddenly came back to his senses, "Brother mentioned the gloomy days just now. I don't know what he was talking about. Although I don't have much ability, if you need help, I am obliged."
Xiang Li rolled his eyes and smiled dryly: "It's nothing, I just feel that the weather in Chang'an has been dry recently and I have difficulty breathing."
"Is that so?" Huo Jing frowned, feeling that the matter was not simple.
But before he could ask further questions, a voice came from behind him——
"Huo Jing, can't you understand what these two people mean? They clearly want to kill someone with a borrowed knife, and they want you to confront the Marquis of Dingxiang!"
The expressions of all three people changed. They followed the sound and what caught their eyes was a slightly thin man. However, this man had a big frame and bigger hands. He was wearing a military uniform and had a smile on his face.
"What?" He raised his eyebrows slightly, "Am I wrong?"
"Liu Yi, are you saying that the two brothers want to sow discord between me and Marquis Dingxiang?" Huo Jing asked, looking at the two people around him with suspicion.
"That's exactly the case, but they are too stupid to do what they want." The man smiled slightly, "If you ask me, the Dingxiang Marquis is actually just ordinary. He just relied on luck and happened to meet a few occasions by chance. He came and went.
