Selected by the main god and the system at the same time

Three days later, Shen Yi led a small eunuch and appeared in front of a small courtyard.

"Are you sure it's here?"

Looking at the small courtyard full of holes in the gate, Shen Yi was a little unsure, is this the place he was looking for?
"Your Highness, this is the place. The villain has found out that this is the only one of the Qi family army surnamed Ding who stayed in the capital. However, this person passed away ten years ago, leaving only one daughter living here."

"What's this girl's name?"

"Ding Baiying."

It seems right, this is here, this is Ding Baiying's house.

Shen Yi thought for a long time, and decided to start with Ding Baiying. His current status is not suitable for large-scale recruitment, and he will have to wait a year before he can start planning.

At that time, as the emperor himself, it will be much more convenient to act.

"dong dong dong"

After knocking on the door a few times, Shen Yi was afraid that if he knocked hard on the door, he would directly break it.

There was a sound of footsteps coming from the courtyard, coming towards the door.

As soon as the door opened, Shen Yi hadn't spoken yet, only heard a choking sound, and the sound of a long knife being unsheathed.

Then he felt a chill on his neck, and a long knife was already on his neck.

The little eunuch next to him was about to scream, but Shen Yi stopped him with a look.

"Miss Ding, what are you doing?"

The person who came out was Ding Baiying. At this moment, Ding Baiying's expression was cold, and he planned to kill someone if he disagreed with him.

Ding Baiying said coldly: "Who are you, what are you doing at my house?"

Only then did Shen Yi understand that Ding Baiying knew that someone was checking on her, and now he happened to send it to her door.

"Miss Ding misunderstood. I heard that the Qi family's saber skills are famous, so I asked someone to find out, and planned to come to learn from the teacher."

Ding Baiying stared at Shen Yi, and Shen Yi also stared at Ding Baiying unchanged.

Accompanied by the sound of the long knife being sheathed, Ding Baiying's words of refusal: "I won't accept apprentices anymore, you can go."

Shen Yi: "Miss Ding doesn't think about it any more. If you have any requests, Miss Ding just ask, and I will say nothing."

Ding Baiying: "If you can find my senior brother, I will teach you."

At this time, the news of the defeat of the Ming army in the Battle of Sarhu had already spread back to the capital, and the whole capital was gloomy.

As for Ding Baiying's senior brother, it is Lu Wenzhao, the guard under Du Song of the West Road Army, and his life and death are uncertain.

But Shen Yi knew that Lu Wenzhao was not dead, and if there were no accidents, he should be back within two days.

Shen Yi said: "Then it's a deal. I'll come to apprentice again when Miss Ding comes back."

After all, Shen Yi was about to turn around and go back to the palace.

Hearing this, Ding Baiying was shocked, stepped forward to stop Shen Yi, and said eagerly, "What did you say? My brother is not dead?"

Shen Yi: "Miss Ding, I have my own source of information. Your senior brother didn't die on the battlefield. You should be able to come back in two days."

Ding Baiying was stunned in place, these days she thought that her senior brother had died on the battlefield, but she didn't expect Shen Yi to bring her this news now.

Seeing Ding Baiying staring blankly in place, Shen Yi didn't bother, and left on his own.

On the way back to the palace, a person ran up behind him and whispered, "Your Highness, there are people following us, do you want to be subordinate?"

As he said that, he made a gesture of killing people with his hands on his neck.

Shen Yi smiled and said, "No, just let him follow, let's go our own way."

Take the bait, Shen Yi said in his heart.

Shen Yi really wanted to check Ding Baiying's residence, it was impossible for Ding Baiying to get any news.

As for Ding Baiying's knowledge, it was also Shen Yi's deliberate effort to lure Ding Baiying into the bait, send people to follow him, and investigate his details.

At this time, Lu Wenzhao had already planned to change his way of life, and planned to join Jinyiwei.

And once Lu Wenzhao found out about his identity, would Lu Wenzhao still rely on Zhu Youxiao?
When the time comes, Lu Wenzhao's first choice will definitely be to rely on himself, and now it is time for him to employ people, through Lu Wenzhao, and then take Shen Lian under his command.

These two people can be regarded as the most powerful people on the Xiuchundao plane at this time.

As for Ding Baiying's apprentices, none of them were weak in the end, if they were all used by him, his strength would skyrocket in an instant.

It wasn't until they returned to the palace that the people behind them saw Shen Yi entering the palace, so they didn't go back.

After hearing the report from his subordinates, Shen Yi breathed a sigh of relief, as he had completed his first step.

Now, after Lu Wenzhao comes back, he will find the two of them by himself. I believe that Lu Wenzhao will give himself a pleasant surprise.

Shen Yi sent someone to keep an eye on Ding Baiying's small courtyard, and would go and have a look when Lu Wenzhao came back.

"Your Highness, a person entered the small courtyard today, and he was dressed like a person who just came off the battlefield."

Shen Yi was a little excited, it seemed that Lu Wenzhao had returned.

"Go, take me there."

After rushing all the way to Ding Baiying's house, Shen Yi raised his hand and knocked on the door.

This time it was not Ding Baiying who opened the door, but Ding Chong, Ding Baiying's apprentice.

Seeing Shen Yi, Ding Chong opened his mouth to say something, but stopped, turned around and walked back, leaving Shen Yi there alone.

Shen Yi was dumbfounded, is he so unpopular?
Don't you know that Ding Chong is also a little flustered at this time. It was Ding Chong who followed Shen Yi that day. Knowing Shen Yi's identity, Ding Chong didn't know how to greet Shen Yi.

Should I directly meet His Royal Highness, or pretend not to know?
Shen Yi didn't care, and walked inside.

As soon as they entered the small courtyard, they saw Lu Wenzhao and Ding Baiying in front, and Ding Xiu, Ding Xian, Ding Chong, and Ding Tai in the back. The moment they saw Shen Yi, they saluted.

"Meet Your Royal Highness."

It seems that these people intend to reveal their identities, so they don't have to pretend anymore.

Shen Yi coughed twice, and said: "Your Majesty Lu, you don't need to be polite, I'm here to learn from you, and there is no His Royal Highness here."

After getting up, Lu Wenzhao said, "Thank you Your Highness, it is my junior sister's blessing to accept His Highness as your apprentice."

Shen Yi: "Lord Lu, can you tell me the details of the Battle of Saerhu? Our Ming army's hundreds of thousands of troops cannot just die in such a vague way. I will definitely give an explanation to these soldiers in the future."

When Lu Wenzhao heard what Shen Yi said, his eyes turned red instantly. He also almost died in the Battle of Salhu. If Shen Lian hadn't rescued him, he wouldn't be here now.

Shen Yi also knew about the Saarhu Battle, but after chatting with Lu Wenzhao, he realized that his thinking was simple.

On the surface, the battle of Sarhu, it is true that Yang Gao's command was unfavorable, the first commander was incompetent, and the three armies were exhausted.

But the real situation is not that simple. Li Rubai's name is Mingchen, but he is actually a traitor.

Why did Li Rubai move slowly? Nurhachi would know the Ming army's offensive line and accurately find the Ming army.

Li Rubai is the son of Li Chengliang. As early as the 11th year of Wanli, Li Chengliang captured Nurhachi and let Nurhachi serve in his army for three years. The relationship has not been broken, and the two have a close personal relationship.

In addition, the business of Shanxi merchants, the frontier army, Shanxi merchants, and Houjin have formed a community of interests, so Li Chengliang will let Nurhachi grow bigger.

And he wants to rely on Nurhachi's power to capture North Korea and become king himself.

In the battle of Sarhu, every move of the Ming army was in the eyes of Nurhachi, how could it not fail.

When Shen Yi heard the news, he couldn't believe it. He knew that the roots of the Ming Dynasty were completely rotten, but he didn't expect it to be so rotten.

Just like a big tree, can it survive if its roots are rotten?

On the surface, it still looks lush, but death is only a matter of time.

As for Daming, the situation is even more serious. It's not that the roots are rotten, it's simply that someone has completely cut off the roots, leaving only the trunk.

Shen Yi fell into deep thought, and everyone in the room didn't bother him, just sat quietly thinking about their own affairs.

And through chatting with Shen Yi, Lu Wenzhao also discovered Shen Yi's extraordinary, unique insights on various things, often able to hit the nail on the head, and many of Shen Yi's words brought a lot of shock to Lu Wenzhao.

In Lu Wenzhao's view, if anyone in the world can save the Ming Dynasty, it must be Shen Yi.

Looking at Shen Yi's youthful face, Lu Wenzhao seems to have seen a prosperous age, a prosperous age led by Shen Yi is about to unfold, and can he leave a strong and colorful stroke in this magnificent picture scroll?

Although Ding Baiying is a woman, but her father is a member of the Qi family army, she has been influenced by her since she was a child, and her views are not inferior to others. She knows what her senior brother thinks and wants to make contributions.

But the roots of Daming are already rotten, and Lu Wenzhao has a whole body of abilities, but he has no room to display them.

Now that I meet Shen Yi, is this the will of God somewhere?
If Shen Yi knew what Ding Baiying was thinking, he would definitely sneer at it. What kind of will is this? It is clearly the will of the system and the main god.
