Sunrise in the East - Smile Allure

A little awkward.

The woman behind the gauze curtain did not move, and He Qicheng also stood quietly by the side without speaking.After a long time, the woman sighed heavily and put down her pen.Dongfang Bubai couldn't help being startled, he thought, this man's sigh was so deep, it seemed as if his throat was hurt by something.He Qicheng cupped his hands and said, "Ms. Song, hello. Is painting not going well today?"

"It's not just going wrong, your He family's business will not be in order for a day, and I can't do anything to my heart's content!" The woman lifted the curtain and came over, she was stunned by Dongfang Bubai.

Dongfang Bubai originally thought that the elder sister of the little girl outside should be a young woman no matter what, but he didn't know that although this person couldn't see his face clearly, he could look at the skin on the back of his hands, at least he was five or sixty years old, no wonder his voice was so old.I thought to myself, at this age, you can call her aunt or mother-in-law. This person is still called a girl. Could it be that she has never been married?He remembered that he had suspected that He Qicheng had an old relationship with this old woman before, and couldn't help laughing.

Seeing the old woman rushing over angrily, He Qicheng cupped his hands and said, "It's really Xicheng's fault, and it caused the Wu School of Painting to lose a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation."

The old woman was originally a closed disciple of Tang Yin and Tang Bohu. Although she was a embroiderer, she was quite famous in the south of the Yangtze River.She uses needles as pens, and embroiders with paintings, and the embroidered objects are often worth more than a hundred gold.After getting old and losing his eyesight, he took in apprentices here and opened the Four Seasons Embroidery Workshop. Apart from giving advice to his disciples, he no longer embroidered.She originally wanted to draw a picture of a tiger coming out of the mountain today, but after drawing for more than an hour, she always felt a little restless, and no matter how she looked at it, she felt that none of the disciples could embroider the tiger into embroidery, and she was even more agitated. That's why he spoke to He Qicheng like this.Seeing that He Qicheng made an apology, she couldn't continue to attack, so she said coldly: "What do you want to do today?"

He Qicheng smiled and said, "To tell you the truth, Miss Song, today I'm here to pick up the things that my father entrusted the girl to keep."

The old woman pondered for a moment, then turned her head to look at Dongfang Bubai.

He Qicheng quickly said: "This is my elder brother, the person I trust the most."

The old woman snorted coldly, and said to Dongfang Bubai: "Being trusted by members of the He family may not be a good thing, you can do it yourself." After saying that, she walked towards the door, and when she passed by He Qicheng, she paused and said: " Come with me!"

Dongfang Bubai saw that the old woman seemed to have a deep prejudice against the He family, but at her age, this matter was probably related to He Qicheng's parents.Originally, he didn't like to be taught by others, but just thought that He Qicheng said that he was the person he trusted the most, and he couldn't help but feel a little happy, so he held back.

The old woman walked into an empty room, fiddled with an embroidery frame on the ground, a narrow hole appeared in the corner of the wall, but a ladder went straight down, and she didn't know where it led.The old woman is not young, but her body is still healthy, stepping on the ladder all the way down.After He Qicheng and Dongfang Bubai also climbed down a few blocks, the hollow above their heads closed with a whoosh. Fortunately, there are night pearls on the walls on both sides, so it will not be completely dark.After the long ladder was finished, a narrow passage appeared in front of him.Dongfang Bubai reckoned that he had reached the bottom of the ground. After a while, the narrow road diverged into several forks. He walked all the way and twisted and turned.

The old woman seemed to be very familiar with this place, and she would walk without hesitation when encountering a fork in the road.After walking for about a stick of incense, it barely stopped in front of an arched door.The old woman said: "There is only one key to this door. Once opened, this end will be sealed. If one does not know how to open the other end, the visitor will have to be buried with these things in the ground." Take a slender silver needle from the dress.The needle is soft and tough, and it is hidden in the interlayer of fabric, so it is difficult for ordinary people to find it.In addition, there are more than a thousand needles and threads in the embroidery workshop, even if someone accidentally discovered it, they would not have thought that this thing is the key to open the underground arch.

The old woman took out the torch, blew it on, put the thin needle on it and burned it for a while, and the needle immediately became curved.The old woman hurriedly pierced the needle through the left eyeball of a unicorn on the door, and waited until the end of the needle disappeared before letting go.After a while, there was only a sound of machine guns, and the arch door slowly rose, and the old woman said: "Go!" and entered the door in a flash.

After He Qicheng and Dongfang Bubai entered the arched door one after another, the door slammed back to the ground with a bang, and it was sealed and could never be opened again.Seeing this, Dongfang Bubai couldn't help gathering his palm strength secretly, and quietly approached the old woman for half a step.He thought to himself, this person lived most of his life at least, if she deliberately lured He Qicheng and herself here, and wanted to die together, she must not be allowed to succeed, even if forced, she would have to ask the way out from her mouth.

Immediately after the old woman entered the door, she lit the torch on the wall with a torch.Behind the door is a stone room that is not very spacious, the floor is full of wooden boxes, and there is not even much room to stay.The old woman said: "Your father has worked hard all his life, and most of his property is here. There is a list in the innermost black box, you can check a pair. But if it is less, I will not pay for it."

He Qicheng nodded his thanks, and instead of checking the contents of the box, he sighed and said: "My father treats me really..." He remembered that his father could still make such arrangements before he died, and he couldn't help but choke up in his words, unable to continue .

The old woman said: "You are his legitimate son. If you are not good to you, can you make it cheaper for outsiders? Your father has long seen that your woman has ulterior motives, and her son is a sick ghost. He is afraid that the He family will decline, so he did it." It took five years to slowly transfer all the important property here. Hmph! He even threatened me with the kindness of the past, and asked me to guard these things for him."

He Qicheng shook his head and said: "When my father made this arrangement, he was still not sure whether I was alive or not, but he still prepared so many things for me. No wonder Erniang always said that he is partial to the old man, alas...he really treats me better than Qi Too much."

But the old woman said: "Is there anyone in the world who is not partial? He spoiled your mother to the sky, loved the house and the crow, so naturally he loves you the most. Besides, he didn't treat your second brother badly. I left all the property and real estate to him, and I also stated in my last words that I want you to take care of me. If the second room does not treat you at a disadvantage, I will never leave. After all, the woman is not good. If she does not return your property, it is not counted. , now you dare to force you out of the He family, Heavenly Dao will repay you, let her have a taste of hunger and cold sooner or later!" There was a bit of resentment in the words.

He Qicheng didn't want to say more about this matter, he cupped his hands to the old woman and said: "Anyway, thank you Miss Song for guarding these things for my late father. The way out..."

The old woman said, "Did you bring a boat?"

He Qicheng said: "I have brought it, and it is stopping at the place designated by Miss Song."

The old woman nodded in satisfaction, walked to the other side of the wall and pressed a few times.Not long after, a large black hole appeared on the wall, and several steps could be vaguely seen going up.The old woman pointed to the entrance of the cave and said to He Qicheng, "Go straight up to the pier from here. When it gets darker, you can carry things on board." After saying that, she sat down on a box and waited.

The sky outside could not be seen from the entrance of the cave, and Dongfang Bubai reckoned that it would be dark in half an hour, so he and He Qicheng sat down opposite the old woman, secretly watching out for her movements.

He Qicheng felt a little sad in his heart.Not long after he returned to the He family, he saw his father's suicide note in the embroidery workshop in Suzhou.Only then did I realize that my father had already slowly turned more than half of the family property into gold, jewelry and jade, and hid it in a safe place. He made an agreement with a trustworthy person that he would use it for 30 years when he came back.If the brothers are in harmony, they will live together. If someone in the family can't tolerate him, these belongings are enough to keep him at ease for a lifetime.

He Qicheng was kidnapped when he was seven years old, and after he managed to escape, he couldn't even remember his father's face clearly.After hearing this, I couldn't help but feel guilty, regretting that I couldn't see my father for the last time.At this moment, seeing my father's painstaking efforts all his life, his heart was full of mixed emotions, and he was too bored to speak.

Dongfang Bubai saw that He Qicheng's expression was different, so he couldn't help reaching out his hand to shake him.After a while, the old woman on the opposite side suddenly said: "What a pair of skillful hands!" It was she who had immersed herself in embroidery all her life, and when she saw Dongfang Bubai's palm, with well-defined knuckles and slender fingers, it was very suitable for embroidery, and she couldn't help admiring .She thought about it, and felt that most men would not know how to embroider, but she still took out something like a silk handkerchief from her bosom and threw it to Dongfang Bubai.He said lightly: "Take it!"

Dongfang Bubai was suspicious, opened it and saw that it was a thin booklet made of silk, with many patterns and small characters embroidered with needle and thread.

The old woman said again: "My acupuncture techniques are [-] kinds of particular. One point is too long and the other is too short. Ordinary people can't learn it. I have seen countless hands in my life, only yours." It's just right. If you don't want to learn it, it's good to pass it on to your daughter in the future." After speaking, he spread his palms and waved Dongfang Bubai.

The old woman was already taller than ordinary women, but now she spread her five fingers, her palm is really the same size as Dongfang Bubai, even the shape is not bad.She has been an apprentice for more than ten years, but she has never met a satisfactory disciple, and she did not intend to give the embroidery book that she has embroidered her whole life to easily.Just because He Qicheng trusted Dongfang Bubai so much, she couldn't help but think of a past about her, and Dongfang Bubai's palm was exactly what she had been looking for. There are descendants, but Dongfang Bubai, if you get a daughter, there is a little bit that may be suitable for your stitching, and then you will pass on the embroidery book.

Seeing this, He Qicheng was afraid that the old woman would unintentionally say that Zhongdong Bubai was sad, so he rolled his eyes and laughed loudly: "Miss Song doesn't know something, but my big brother's hands are not for holding needles and threads. Holding a knife Holding a sword, running for thousands of miles, and taking the head of the villain, is his true nature of a hero!"

The old woman frowned and looked Dongfang Bubai up and down.Although she couldn't tell that Dongfang Bubai possessed martial arts, but since He Qicheng said so, and Dongfang Bubai's eyes were sharp as if he was real, he probably was indeed a master of the rivers and lakes.Just as he was hesitating whether to take back the embroidered book, Dongfang Bubai cupped his fists and said calmly: "Thanks to Miss Song for your love, I will definitely find a suitable owner for the embroidered book." After saying that, he put the embroidered book away.

Seeing that there was no anger on Dongfang Bubai's face, He Qicheng couldn't help but feel relieved.After a while, the old woman said that she could move.He Qicheng first went out from the secret passage to contact Zhao Da and Qian Er on the ship, and when everything was ready, he made several batches and moved all the boxes into the cabin.The old woman pressed the mechanism a few more times, only to hear two clicks, and the river immediately poured in, submerging the secret passage in an instant, and the bluestone slabs at the exit closed again.

The old woman saw something happened, so she didn't bother He Qicheng, and went on her own.Instead, He Qicheng and Dongfang Bubai compared the list and counted the items in the box.After working for most of the night, I resealed the box and returned to the front cabin.He Qicheng yawned, his eyes were blurred and he said to Dongfang Bubai: "My wives should be here. Brother Dongfang, don't be too little!"

Dongfang Bubai poked the sore and numb acupoints on He Qicheng's waist, and said angrily, "You didn't see me leave when you only took 500 taels of bonus, did you?" He remembered that he had taken back He Qicheng's silver box from the bandits in Wulu Mountain, His face turned red, and he pushed He Qicheng and said, "Go to sleep! Don't talk nonsense here!" He was about to go to sleep in the back cabin, but He Qicheng grabbed his sleeve tightly and had to lie down with him bed.

After a while, a melodious bell sounded from a distance outside the cabin, the water waves patted gently, and the sleepiness gradually grew...

Part45

The treasure ship went all the way north along the Grand Canal, but it was not going very fast.He Qicheng disembarked from time to time to check, not only bought a lot of farmland and mansions, but also sold many shops along the way.After crossing Zhenjiang, Yangzhou, and arriving at the ground of Huai'an Mansion, the weather was getting hotter and hotter, Dongfang Bubai didn't want to go out, so he stayed on the boat and waited for He Qicheng to return.

Like this, every time he stopped at one place for three to five days, in less than three months, he actually spent half of He Qicheng's silver taels, and most of the rest were exchanged for bank notes so that he could carry them easily.Even after seeing Dongfang Bubai, he couldn't help marveling at He Qicheng's spending of money like flowing water.However, He Qicheng said that land property is the most difficult to lose money in all transactions. Although the profit is not much, it is expensive for a long time. In addition, most of the shops that are bought are selling things that are closely related to people's lives. If the money is invested, it will be able to pay back in more than ten years, and it can also lay a foundation on both sides of the canal, which is more cost-effective.He Qicheng said again, if you want to do a good job in business such as medicine shop, embroidery shop, gold shop, restaurant, etc., you have to put in a lot of effort, but it's not suitable at this moment.Dongfang Bubai is a smart person, although he has never dabbled in business, after hearing He Qicheng's explanation, he instantly understood He Qicheng's intentions.

After walking for a few more days, the big ship sailed past Dongchang Mansion, and the canal diverted to the east, but it was already close to the important place of Gyeonggi.He Qicheng invited a local wealthy businessman, sold the treasure ship and the singers and opera singers on board to the other party at a high price, and then took two horses to disembark.As for the decorations that the two of them liked, they had already been transported to another courtyard for safekeeping.He Qicheng immediately bought another big ship, but it was a sturdy and durable cargo ship. He picked some exquisite and delicate goods to load, and let Lu Fei, Zhao Da, and Qian Er take it to the capital.But he told Dongfang Bubai that he was "tired of taking the boat" and wanted to go by land instead.

Dongfang Bubai didn't care about these external things at all.Seeing that He Qicheng wanted to ride a horse, he immediately agreed.After thinking for a while, he took out a cloak from the bag he brought with him and handed it to He Qicheng, and said lightly: "The weather is getting cold, let's go fast, it's better to add an extra coat."

He Qicheng saw that the material of the cloak was very good, it was light and warm, the neckline and corners were embroidered with silver silk patterns, it was elegant and majestic, so beautiful, and he didn't know where Dongfang Bubai bought it from, and he kept it on his body all the time. , I just took it out today and put it on for myself.His heart warmed up, and he held up Dongfang Bubai's palm and said, "This cloak is so exquisitely made, why don't you buy one for yourself?"

Dongfang Bubai couldn't help but blushed a little, but deliberately raised his chin and said, "I have magical powers to protect my body from cold and heat." For the past few months, he studied the embroidered book every day in the cabin. After watching for seven days, I tried it.Su embroidery stitches are extremely complicated, and ordinary embroiderers have to learn three to five years before they can become masters.Dongfang Bubai's martial arts are extremely high, and his eyesight and finger strength are naturally not comparable to ordinary people, but the embroidery book of Song Xiuniang is really extraordinary. Many of the stitches recorded in it are unique skills, so he practiced it for countless times. Yue is barely satisfied with this cloak.Seeing that He Qicheng liked it, he couldn't help being secretly happy. As for buying another Yun Yun, he couldn't find a second one that was exactly the same even if he searched all over the world.He was thinking about whether to add another winter coat to He Qicheng, when he suddenly heard a horse neighing in his ears, but it was He Qicheng who wanted to take over the reins of the Longwen horse, and the horse immediately stood up, as if he was extremely unhappy.

Dongfang Bubai couldn't help but secretly wondered, how could this horse still refuse to let He Qicheng touch it after not seeing him for several months?But he didn't know that He Qicheng was from Zhi, he smelled like medicine, and he had the ability to avoid beasts.Although Long Wen is a dragon among horses, he dare not approach him.Dongfang Bubai saw that the two horses stayed in the cabin all the time, although some horse slaves would occasionally take them out for a walk, it was still not enough in the end, and they all looked a little depressed.Feeling distressed slightly, he caressed Long Wenma's neck and said, "If you are willing to give Qicheng a ride, how about I take you out to relax every day from now on?"

The Longwen horse's fur is mottled, and the gray is mixed with some variegated colors such as yellow and bay red. It looks very inconspicuous in appearance, only the body of the horse is longer than ordinary horses, and most of the horse trainers can't see it. of peculiarities.However, this horse is called the dragon among horses. As long as it is put together with other horses, other horses will kneel down when they see it, and dare not run in front of it.Mrs. Sai took a lot of thought to capture it herself and bring it to Heqi City, which is really a big intention.At this moment, Long Wenma listened to Dongfang Bubai's words, his pricked ears trembled, as if he understood, he walked slowly to He Qicheng and stopped.

Surprised, He Qicheng raised his hand to touch Long Wenma's mane.The horse didn't move anymore, and let He Qicheng pat its neck all over.In the end, he glanced at Dongfang Bubai, as if he had been greatly wronged.He Qicheng couldn't help laughing and said, "I like Big Brother Dongfang, that's all. Why does my horse like Big Brother Dongfang so much?"

Dongfang Bubai glanced around and saw that no one was paying attention to the movement here, he gave He Qicheng a hard look, and scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? Hurry up and go!" After speaking, he jumped on the back of Zhaoye horse and galloped and go.

Seeing that Dongfang Bubai was about to disappear in a short while, He Qicheng immediately climbed onto Longwen, and before the whip was raised, Longwen's horse had already spread its hooves and chased all the way, almost knocking He Qicheng down.

The Zhaoye Horse, also known as the Zhaoye Jade Lion, has a snow-white body without a single hair.During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhao Zilong, the famous general in Changbanpo, entered seven times and exited seven times. He was able to jump out of a trap because of this horse.Legend has it that Zhao Yeyi was born with only a mane around his neck, like a lion, with a violent temper.It was driven out of the herd of horses when it was young because of its radiance at night, which is why it got the name Zhao Ye.After growing up, Zhao Ye's temperament will become extremely gentle, even if the old and weak, women and children ride on it, there will be no danger at all.Like Zhao Zilong, he is a courageous and loyal horse.Mrs. Na Sai wanted to find a pair of good horses as a gift to He Qicheng, but she couldn't find a horse that could match Long Wen. Ordinary horses would not dare to go with Long Wen when they saw Long Wen. The obtained mounts were sold at night, so they could be made into a pair.

At this time, Dongfang Bubai seemed to be galloping on Zhao Ye, but actually he didn't want to leave He Qicheng behind, and looked back from time to time.The horse was quite human, and immediately withdrew a little bit of strength, just waiting for Long Wen to come after him.

Besides, He Qicheng, although it is not that he has never ridden a horse before, but most of them walk slowly. How can it compare with Dongfang Bubai, who has the experience of galloping thousands of miles on horseback?That Longwen horse was as fast as lightning again, he was in a hurry to stabilize his position.Seeing Dongfang Bubai dressed in white and riding a white horse was not far ahead, but he couldn't catch up, so he rolled his eyes and resorted to a fierce move.

I saw him holding the rein tightly with one hand, pressing the horse's neck with the other, leaning down for a while and saying, "Long Wen, Long Wen, I said earlier that you would not be able to run fast if you were ashamed. If Brother Dongfang insisted on not believing you, he forced you to me. Knowing this, it would be better to ask Brother Dongfang to ask Zhao Ye to come." After a while, he said, "That's right, you can run fast when you have long hooves, and your body is so long, wouldn't it be a burden instead."The mane of a Longwen horse stood on end, and there were bursts of low hissing from its nose and mouth.Immediately, he spread his four hooves and rushed forward like a shooting star. After a while, he overtook Zhao Ye and went away all the way.

Dongfang Bubai couldn't help but smile slightly when he saw He Qicheng's running upbeat, he lowered his body and clamped his legs.Kuxia Zhaoye immediately understood what Dongfang Bubai meant, and ran forward with all his strength.Originally, Dongfang Bubai was afraid that He Qicheng would not be able to catch up, so he followed the official road all the way, but now He Qicheng was in the front, but he was concentrating on controlling the horse, so he didn't have the strength to distinguish the way, and the Longwen horse went further and further sideways. Run up a hill.

Dongfang Bubai followed closely behind, and after a while, he suddenly saw He Qicheng pulling the reins in a hurry, only to realize that the road ahead has come to an end, and there is a cliff ahead!He was terrified in his heart, jumped up from the horse's back, flew towards He Qicheng, grabbed the reins of Long Wen's horse with both hands, and with great strength, the Long Wen horse stood upright immediately.

Speaking of which, Long Wenma was also wronged.When it reached the edge of the cliff, it had long wanted to stop. It happened that He Qicheng was also tugging on the rein. It felt impatient and struggled a few times, but was mistaken by Dongfang Bubai for not being able to stop and was about to fall into the cliff. , was pulled so hard that his neck became sore and his teeth became loose. After landing on the ground with all four hooves, he couldn't help but look back at Dongfang Bubai resentfully, then lowered his head and shook his mane.

Seeing that He Qicheng was fine, Dongfang Bubai felt relieved, and couldn't help complaining: "During the horse race, how could anyone run so desperately like you? Fortunately, he stopped, otherwise I would have to jump down to save you."

He Qicheng knew that with Dongfang Bubai's martial arts, if he really accidentally slipped and fell off a cliff, it would probably not be just a matter of lip service.Warmth suddenly surged in my heart, I leaned back, put my head on Dongfang Bubai's shoulder, and said with a smile: "It's my fault, Big Brother Dongfang, don't piss me off."

He Qicheng was originally born to be extremely handsome and elegant, but at this time his face was half a smile, his eyes were full of affection, like autumn water, he seemed to be able to directly see the depths of people's hearts.Dongfang Bubai's heart skipped a beat, but he couldn't bear to look away, and looked at He Qicheng for a moment, feeling that his body was involuntarily hot.Just as he was about to press his lips together, He Qicheng suddenly frowned slightly and let out a snort.

"Brother Dongfang, why do you think someone is doing something over there?"

Dongfang Bubai turned his head sideways and looked in the direction He Qicheng pointed.I saw a flat land under the hillside, a dozen people were besieging a single-handed man, and there were a few people watching the horses, wandering around from time to time.Not far away, there was a black horse lying down on the ground, with a big pool of blood flowing out from its belly, it was obviously killed by someone.Dongfang Bubai looked at it for a while, then couldn't help frowning and said, "These are Tatars."

Part46

After the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, Northern Mongolia was divided into three tribes from east to west: Wuliangha, Tatar and Oara.In addition to fighting each other, the three tribes often plundered the border of Ming Dynasty.Emperor Chengzu Zhu Di led his army to conquer five times successively, defeating Tatar and Wala, and only then did the border of Ming Dynasty be kept safe.

Since then, the emperors of all dynasties have strictly abided by the ancestral motto of "the emperor guards the gate of the country". No matter what dangers they face, they never dare to follow the example of the Song Dynasty and move the capital easily.With the soldiers of the important places in Gyeonggi, Shanxi and Shaanxi, all the way along Ningxia Wei, Liangzhou Wei, Suzhou Wei, Mongolian Wei, and Hami Wei, formed a northern line of defense thousands of miles long.Together with the southeast anti-Japanese southern line in Zhejiang and Fujian, it is also known as the two major defense lines of the Ming Dynasty.

Because the northern line is close to the capital, and Mongolian cavalry are good at running thousands of miles, the imperial court pays more attention to the northern line. More than half of the annual tribute is spent on the defense of the northern line. The reason why the method of exchanging grain and grass for salt is implemented is derived from this.

The Sun Moon God Sect has been active in Shanxi for a long time, and has fought against the Tatars many times, so Dongfang Bubai only took a moment to recognize those besieging single-handed men. , not from the Central Plains.Seeing that those people were all dressed as Han people, even the horses were equipped with Han saddles, and they appeared so close to the capital, he couldn't help secretly suspecting their origins.On the other hand, the person who was besieged, although his saber technique was not very strong, was pure Shandong Liuhemen saber technique, he must be someone from the Ming Dynasty.If ordinary people were fighting with weapons here, Dongfang Bubai would never have the intention of making a move, but seeing that one of them was actually a Tatar, he was a little undecided whether to take care of it or not.After all, the martial arts in the Central Plains are incompatible with the Mongols regardless of righteousness or evil.

When He Qicheng saw the single-handed man at first sight, he felt vaguely familiar. When Dongfang Bubai mentioned the Tatars, his heart suddenly jumped, and he remembered that he had met this man in Jiangling a few years ago. , although there is no chance to exchange names, but the other party was hunted down by the Tatars here, it is absolutely no small matter!Without hesitation at the moment, he said to Dongfang Bubai: "Brother Dongfang, I recognize the person who was besieged, are you sure you can keep all of this group of people?" , so we must first make sure that everything is safe.

Dongfang Bubai smiled and said: "You lead the horse down and wait for me!" He pointed his toes slightly, but the man had already galloped forward.He Qicheng saw that he jumped vertically with his strength, light as a bird, and landed on the flat ground at the foot of the mountain in a moment, without stopping at the moment, he took Zhao Ye's rein, and returned to the foot of the mountain from the original path with his legs clamped.

Besides, Dongfang Bubai, when he heard that He Qicheng knew the one who was besieged, he didn't hesitate in his heart, and immediately used [-]% lightness to plunder down the mountain.He saw that the man was already at the end of his strength, and he was holding on with a breath of true energy, but his life was not in danger for a short time, so as soon as he fell to the flat ground, he rushed towards the man guarding the horses.With a wrong palm, the two of them have been slapped to death silently.He didn't stop at the moment, he slapped the horse's head with his palm, and killed more than ten horses in an instant.It was only at this time that someone noticed Dongfang Bubai's figure. Immediately, four or five people separated from the crowd and attacked Dongfang Bubai.

The Tatars loved horses like their lives, and when they saw their horses lying on the ground without a sound, their eyes turned red, and they didn't care to hide their identities.How could Dongfang Bubai take these people seriously, and thought, He Qicheng said that he wanted to keep all these people, it would be too troublesome to keep them alive, it would be better to leave a leader for torture.He had already seen that this group of people was headed by a strong man with a machete, and he was merciless at the moment, with his palms flying, and killed all the people who rushed over in an instant.

Seeing that things were going badly, the Tatar leader didn't retreat. He yelled a Tatar word in his mouth, and together with his subordinates, they rushed to attack the single-handed man, hoping to hack him to death before Dongfang Bubai rushed over. Under the knife.Dongfang Bubai didn't allow him to succeed, he killed two more with just one touch of his feet.The Tatar leader wanted to grit his teeth and attack. Seeing this ghostly man in white sticking up and killed three of his subordinates, he knew that today would be difficult, so he gave Dongfang Bubai a hard look, and turned around regardless of his subordinates' life or death. Just ran to the mountains.Seeing that the leader had run away, the remaining few Tatars who dared to fight, rushed away immediately.Dongfang Bubai sneered, and the seven silver needles shot towards the seven people, except for the leader who was restrained by the big hole on his vest, the rest of them were all pierced into the brain by the silver needles, and they lost their breath immediately.

Dongfang Bubai saw that the man with a single sword was supporting his body with a sword and was precariously falling, and knew that it was because his heart was relieved after he escaped from danger, and the injury broke out immediately.Without hesitation at the moment, he said to the man: "Sit down cross-legged." The man knew that he was lucky enough to meet an expert today, so he immediately put down his sword and sat cross-legged with difficulty.Dongfang Bubai walked up behind him and sat down, pressed his palm on the man's vest, and a powerful internal force surged in immediately.

After a while, the man's face turned from pale to rosy, Dongfang Bubai withdrew his palm and asked, "Do you have any wound medicine on you?" , but did not bring internal and external wound medicine.The man nodded quickly and said: "Yes." After saying that, he took out a small bottle of wound medicine from his bosom and sprinkled it on many wounds on his body.The medicine worked very well, and stopped the bleeding in a short while, the man immediately tore off his underwear and bandaged it up, his movements were extremely skilled.

Not long after, He Qicheng arrived on horseback.The man looked towards He Qicheng warily.Dongfang Bubai snorted coldly and said, "If it wasn't for Qicheng asking me to save you, I wouldn't be bothered to do it." That man had studied martial arts in Liuhemen, Shandong when he was young, and he knew that people in the world often have higher martial arts skills and temper Weird, I don't mind hearing what Dongfang Bubai said, so I just cupped my fists at He Qicheng and said, "Thank you for saving my life, young master."

Seeing the dead bodies on the ground, He Qicheng knew that Dongfang Bubai did what he said and did not let any one go. He smiled and nodded to Dongfang Bubai, then got off his horse and walked in front of the man.He took out a vermilion elixir from his sleeve, handed it to the man and said, "General, after taking the elixir, your injuries will recover within seven days."

The man immediately put his hand on the handle of the knife and asked suspiciously, "How do you know my identity?"

He Qicheng smiled and said: "Three years ago, I went to Jiangling Wangyue Tower to meet a friend. When I entered the box, my friend was saying goodbye to the general. You and I passed each other, but unfortunately we didn't announce our name."

The man couldn't help being startled when he heard the words, he remembered that he had indeed been to Jiangling three years ago, and he also met a close friend in the Moon Tower, it seemed that he happened to meet a man at that time.It was only because the man was handsome and extraordinary, so I was deeply impressed.Thinking about it, he was somewhat similar to the person in front of him.At the moment he breathed a sigh of relief, and said solemnly: "It turns out that I am a friend of Zhang Xiang. I am Qi Jiguang, the commander of the Dengzhou Guard. I have important matters to go to Beijing to meet Zhang Xiang. I am afraid that I can't ride a horse now. Can I ask you to take me with you next time?" Procedure?"

He Qicheng nodded and said: "I met General Qi in Xia Hexi City. It's easy to talk about it, and I just happened to go to Beijing to pay a visit to Mr. Zhang. My mount is not bad, so I think it shouldn't delay the general's trip. It's just that the people here..."

Qi Jiguang said: "To be honest, Brother He, these are all Tatar spies. They chased and killed me all the way, trying to kill me. This matter is related to the safety of my Ming Dynasty and the border of Tatars. We must let Zhang go as soon as possible. We know each other well. The situation is urgent and we don’t care about it anymore, let’s go quickly and leave them behind.”

Dongfang Bubai said to He Qicheng: "There is still one alive, do you want to kill him as well?"

He Qicheng thought for a moment and said: "Take them away! These Tatars are able to sneak into the important areas of the capital, and they must have colluded with someone behind their backs. It's better to show them as a witness at some time."

Qi Jiguang remembered this verse only after hearing what He Qicheng said, and couldn't help but praise He Qicheng for his thoughtfulness.At that moment, Dongfang Bubai captured the Tatar leader, and He Qicheng and Qi Jiguang rode together and galloped towards the capital.

Long Wen and Zhao Ye are both BMWs that travel thousands of miles a day. Although they brought an extra person with them, they still run like lightning, and they arrived in the capital within half a day.Qi Jiguang didn't bother to change his clothes, and led the two of them directly into the scholar's residence.Although Dongfang Bubai didn't like dealing with people in the court, he also knew that the matter was of great importance, so he was secretly vigilant all the way, and he didn't feel relieved until he entered the side hall of the scholar's mansion.

After a while, a servant came and asked Qi Jiguang to go to the study.Dongfang Bubai couldn't help but whispered to He Qicheng: "Back then when you were in Luoyang City, you said you knew Zhang Juzheng, but I thought you were a liar! I didn't expect it to be true."

He Qicheng smiled and said: "Master Zhang and I have a very close relationship. It's a long story, and I'll tell Brother Dongfang carefully later." After a pause, he asked again: "You said General Qi is looking for Zhang What is your lord going to say?"

Dongfang Bubai snorted coldly: "The left and right are just the Tatars offending the side. Come one to kill one, come two to kill one pair, let's see if they dare to come again!"

"well said!"

I saw a person walking in from outside the door. He had thick eyebrows, narrow eyes, three beards, and a handsome face, with a sense of righteousness rushing towards his face. It wasn't Zhang Juzheng, the second assistant of the court, who was it?But Zhang Juzheng had just listened to Qi Jiguang's story, and heard that He Qicheng had arrived, so he immediately had a plan in mind.He heard Dongfang Bubai speak with great pride, and knew that this person was the Jianghu hero that Qi Jiguang said had saved his life, so he couldn't help admiring.

Dongfang Bubai had heard the sound of breathing approaching a long time ago, and he boasted that his martial arts skills are world-class, but he never paid attention to it.In fact, let alone an important person in the court, even if the emperor came in person, he would not take it to heart.He knew Zhang Juzheng's identity, and for He Qicheng's sake, he bowed to Zhang Juzheng.

Zhang Juzheng never cared about these vain rituals, otherwise he would not have made friends with He Qicheng.Immediately nodded to the two of them and said: "This hero is very right. As long as I keep my guard and teach the Tatars to come and go one by one, the front line in the north will naturally sit back and relax. But this time, I want to implore the two help save someone."

He Qicheng wondered, "Who?"

Zhang Juzheng smiled and said, "Tartar."

As soon as these words came out, not to mention Dongfang Bubai was taken aback, even He Qicheng couldn't help showing surprise on his face.

Zhang Juzheng smiled slightly and told the whole story.It turned out that at this time the northern Tatars were divided into dozens of tribes, large and small. Among the tribes, the Tumed tribe was the largest.
