Sunrise in the East - Smile Allure
Chapter 31
"Altan Khan" controlled a large area of grassland from Xuanhua in the east to Hetao in the west and north of the border of the Ming Dynasty. This person sent troops to the south for a large-scale invasion because of the sudden interruption of the Ming Dynasty's trade with the Tatars 20 years ago. Qiu Luan, the general soldier of Datong, got the message Afterwards, he was terrified, and he did not hesitate to bribe I Da with a lot of money, begging him to move the fortress. After I promised, I led the troops to the east, invaded from Gubeikou, and drove straight to the city of Beijing. Yan Song, the chief assistant at the time, was afraid that it would be difficult to hide after the defeat, so he actually Ordered the generals not to act rashly, and allowed Alta to burn, kill, and loot outside the capital for eight days, and then retreated from Gubeikou after being full. After that, under the influence of Alta, the Ming Dynasty had to reopen the horse market in Xuanfu, Datong finally kept the border peace. Emperor Sejong ordered to change the [-]th Regiment Battalion into the [-]rd Battalion, rebuilt the outer city of Beijing, set up Jiliao Governor-General and Minister to govern the three towns of Jizhou, Baoding, and Liaodong, and summoned Shandong, Shanxi, Soldiers from Henan and other places gather near the capital every autumn to prevent autumn, and then disperse after autumn, which has become a custom.
As the commander of the Dengzhou Guard, Qi Jiguang's jurisdiction is in Shandong. It was precisely because of the autumn defense that he was transferred to the Datong area to assist in the defense.Unexpectedly, a strange thing happened——
But he said that Alda had a favorite grandson named Bahannaji, whose father Tiejietaiji had been raised by Alda's old wife after his death.After growing up, Han Naji not only looks talented, but also resourceful and eloquent, which won the trust of his grandfather.His grandmother chose a wife for him. A year later, Hanaji was dissatisfied with his wife and fell in love with another woman from the same tribe, so he gave the dowry again.Unfortunately, when I was on a tour at this time, I ran into my granddaughter San Niangzi by chance. I was shocked and wanted to marry her back.At this time, San Niangzi had already accepted the dowry from other tribes. As soon as the other tribe heard that I wanted to take his wife, they immediately sent troops to attack the Tumed tribe.I was helpless, so I came up with an idea of stealing the bride and groom, and gave the wife Han Naji hired by my grandson as the third lady to the other party.As soon as this incident happened, it was like a bolt from the blue to Han Najib. It didn't count that his grandfather married his granddaughter, and the woman he loved so much was handed over to others by himself!Han Naji is only less than 20 years old, because he is favored by Al Da, he has always been arrogant and arrogant, how could he have suffered such grievances.Immediately, his blood surged up, and he brought his servant and wife, and a group of more than ten people came to the city of Datong overnight, asking for the Ming Dynasty.
Daming and the Tatars had been feuding for a long time, and when the generals at the border saw Hannaji coming to vote, they all wanted to kill him to vent their anger.Qi Jiguang couldn't help being shocked when he saw this, knowing that this person's death would be like giving me an excuse to attack Daming.With an idea, he proposed to hold a "killing barbarian conference", which must first be announced to the people at the border, and then Han Naji will be executed in public, but he came to the capital to discuss Zhang Juzheng's idea.When he left Datong, he had already heard that I Da was gathering troops outside the pass.As for the Tatars who hunted him down on the road, most of them were subordinates of Alta's ninth son, the little prince.The little prince had been at odds with Bahanaji for a long time, and they wanted to fight for the right to inherit the Khan throne. When he heard that Hannaji fled south, he must have killed him by the hands of Daming.He has some connections in Daming, that's why he sent people to chase and kill Qi Jiguang all the way.
After hearing Zhang Juzheng's words, He Qicheng couldn't help being moved, and asked respectfully: "Master Zhang asked me to wait to save someone, but the one who wants to save is that Hannaji?"
Zhang Juzheng stroked his beard and said with a smile: "That's right. This matter seems small, but it has a lot to do with the side affairs. Han Naji is the crown prince who was raised by my old wife. If you kill him, Daming won't get it." Half of the benefits, but I have to fight a tough battle with Alda."
He Qicheng frowned and said, "Master Zhang, you want to keep him?"
Zhang Juzheng shook his head and said: "I want to send this person back to me."
As soon as this remark came out, even Dongfang Bubai couldn't help but said in surprise: "What?!"
Zhang Juzheng paused for a moment, but asked a question that seemed irrelevant: "Do you two know how much money Da Ming spends on frontier military salaries every year?"
He Qicheng and Dongfang Bubai couldn't help being startled when they heard the words.
"400 million taels." Zhang Juzheng sighed, "Da Ming's annual income is only 250 million taels, and it is a full 400 million taels just to guard against Tatar's military expenses. This way, you can eat more than you need, and then delay In ten years, there is no need to wait for the Tatars to attack, and the Ming Dynasty... will perish."
Although He Qicheng and Dongfang Bubai are dragons and phoenixes among men, this is the first time they have heard of such a major military and political event.Just two simple numbers, but people can't help but feel frightened after hearing them.He Qicheng immediately cupped his fists and said: "Master Zhang has any orders, please feel free to tell me! Qicheng is not talented, but he is willing to do his part for the people of the world!"
Zhang Juzheng nodded and said: "I saw that Mr. He was extraordinary when I was in Jiangling. Now that you said this, I knew that I was right! I intend to increase income and reduce expenditure for the Ming Dynasty. The first thing I do is to start from the north. First, we need to negotiate a peace with the Tatars. After the northern army is reduced, we will find a way to send troops to the south to eliminate the Japanese plague. The south is a land of fish and rice. As long as there is peace for more than ten years, my Ming Dynasty will have the strength to take it back in one fell swoop. Hetao, deterring the barbarians in the north. Then they can seize Qinghai, Tibet, and western Sichuan, restore the whole Liao Dynasty, realize the grand plan set by Emperor Taizu, and become the largest country in the universe!"
Zhang Juzheng's words were categorical, and there was a sense of righteousness in his body, which made people's blood boil when they heard it, and wished they could see such a prosperous world.
Zhang Juzheng paused, and then said: "I heard from Yuan Jing (Qi Jiguang's word) that the two horses are extremely fast, so I want to invite the two to go to Datong and hand over my secret letter to Governor Wang Chonggu. Han Naji's life will be saved, and if possible, even the people around him will be spared, lest he feel resentment towards Daming. As for the future, someone will naturally go to join the two. I'm here to vent to the two of you first, I want to use Han Naji to Alda in exchange for the head of the White Lotus Sect who rebelled against Zhao Quan and others. Although this man is a Han, he has always been in collusion with the Tatars, and he is treacherous and cunning , is the number one counselor under the little prince's seat. He used to use suspicious tactics to exhaust the soldiers on the border of Daming, and I gave him an opportunity many times. Zhao Quan hated Daming to the bone, and he never got rid of him. He never negotiated peace with me. Possibly. Even if the agreement is signed, it will be instigated by this person to tear it up in a blink of an eye. I intend to use the exchange to open the gap in the negotiation of the Hanaji matter, and to find a hundred years of peace for the northern border of the Ming Dynasty. The two are me Vanguard officer, this matter is of great importance. If Han Naji’s life is lost, the loss of life at the border will not be counted. If Daming’s vitality is greatly damaged in this battle, it will take at least ten years to recover, so please do your best. I will do my best here, thank you in advance!"
He Qicheng and Dongfang Bubai looked at each other, they both knew that this matter was no small matter, so they didn't refuse immediately, they put away the letter paper given by Zhang Juzheng, and asked Qi Jiguang a few words about the situation, then each led their horses, and used the waist card Zhang Juzheng gave them to go out. After entering the city gate, he rushed to the border gate without stopping all night.
After traveling all night like this, Dongfang Bubai felt sorry for He Qicheng, seeing that the sky was slightly bright, he wanted to let him find a place to rest before leaving early.But He Qicheng shook his head and said no, took out dry food from his bosom and shared Dongfang Bubai's portion, drank cold water for a while, and galloped away.
After walking for several hours, I finally came to the city of Datong.After He Qicheng inquired a bit, he found out that Governor Wang Chonggu had gone to Xuanhua for inspection but hadn't returned.However, Han Naji and others were locked in the dungeon, and a date has been set to be executed in public.He Qicheng thought for a moment, held Dongfang Bubai's hand and said, "Brother Dongfang, for the present plan, we have to divide the troops into two groups. I went to Xuanhua to find Wang Chonggu to rescue the soldiers, but I have to work hard for you to delay here. I still have a few Take a pill, you keep it by your side for emergencies. If you really can't do it, don't force it. Everything... everything is based on your own safety."
It was the first time Dongfang Bubai saw He Qicheng showing such a mother-in-law attitude.Seeing the worried look on He Qicheng's face, he couldn't help feeling warm, took the porcelain vase, and said with a smile: "It's just a few dog officials with ordinary martial arts, it's really not good, I just take that barbarian and escape."
He Qicheng knew very well that there were more than ten thousand people guarding the city at this moment, and with the little prince's troops coveting by his side, even if Dongfang Bubai wanted to take people away, it would be extremely difficult.What's more, in the city of Datong, from three-year-old children to 60-year-old women, almost everyone has a grudge against Tatars. How easy is it to hide it from so many eyes?He knew that this matter was difficult, but he had to leave Dongfang Bubai alone, and felt extremely uncomfortable.He had no choice but to tightly hug Dongfang Bubai's waist, put his head on Dongfang Bubai's neck, took a deep breath, and said in a low voice: "Brother Dongfang, if something happens, I will never live alone!"
Dongfang Bubai's eyes couldn't help but widen a little. Although He Qicheng's words were not sweet words, they were more touching than any sweet words he had ever heard.He knew that He Qicheng had great ambitions, and he had just had a chance to show his ambitions after leaving the He family, but he could say such words for himself, how could he not be moved?At that moment, he patted He Qicheng's back lightly, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen all the scenery of the world with you yet, so how can I be willing to go first?" Less dangerous."
He Qicheng took another deep breath before letting go of Dongfang Bubai.But the worried expression just now was gone on his face, and there was a glow of self-confidence in his eyes.He nodded to Dongfang Bubai, said in a deep voice, "Wait for me!" He jumped on his horse and galloped towards the city gate.
Dongfang Bubai watched He Qicheng leave, found an inn to store the horses, had a full meal, and then walked step by step towards the dungeon in the city.
Part48
Set the date for Hannaji's interrogation and execution at noon today.Dongfang Bubai thought in his heart, from Datong to Xuanhua, with the foot strength of Long Wenma, he can fight back and forth in less than half a day. As long as he delays for a while on the execution ground, he should be able to wait for the reinforcements from Heqicheng, but he must beware of the third prince's people secretly start.Thinking about it, I couldn't feel relieved after not seeing anyone, so I simply walked around the door of the cell.
Dongfang Bubai observed for a while, saw a small group of people going in to change shifts, and quietly followed behind into the cell.Datong is close to the border, and tens of miles to the north is the Great Wall. Governor Wang Chonggu is in charge of military and political affairs. The people in the city are tough but simple, so the number of prisoners in the dungeon is not too many.After the small group of people replaced the guards in the original cell and took their positions, Dongfang Bubai hid in the darkness and searched for a while, and soon found where Hannaji was.
It is estimated that because of their special status, more than ten Hannaji and his party were divided into two prisons, male and female, close together, and locked in the innermost cell.Dongfang Bubai saw a luxuriously dressed Tatar pacing back and forth in the prison cell, swearing a few words from time to time, knowing that this person was Hanaji, he couldn't help laughing.Thinking that Han Naji threw himself to the south in a fit of anger, but never thought that he would end up in this field, he really is a short-sighted reckless man.If this person inherits the sweat position of Al Da, it would really be a great fortune for Ming Dynasty.Seeing that Hanaji was still safe, he suddenly jumped onto the beam and sat down.
After a while, a jailer came with a bucket of food, and said coldly: "Food for decapitation. When you are full, you can go on the road." He put the food in large bowls and placed them at the door of the cell through the fence.The Hannaji obviously couldn't understand Chinese, so he turned around and asked a question in a few words. A man beside him translated it in a low voice, and then he opened his eyes wide, screamed strangely, and threw his fists at the jailer.
A warning sign suddenly rose in Dongfang Bubai's heart.He thought to himself, usually the jailer who delivered the food was always two people together, if the prisoner suddenly became violent and tried to hold the jailer who placed the food hostage, it would be good to have someone to take care of him.But the jailer came alone to deliver the food, and Han Naji rushed towards him. He didn't seem to be frightened, but stood at the door in a daze, as if he was waiting for Han Naji to catch him. Isn't it very interesting Strange?
With a thought, before Hanaji rushed to the prison door, he flew up and pressed his palm on the jailer's head.Dongfang Bubai wanted to test the jailer's martial arts, so he intentionally let out a bit of his palm.Seeing that the man was really short and dodged it, obviously he was very skillful, he couldn't help but sneered in his heart, turned his palm and cut the back of the man's neck instead.
That man was amazing, he seemed to have eyes in his back at a critical moment, he threw six willow-leaf flying knives with his backhand, and rolled forward to avoid Dongfang Bubai's knife.Dongfang Bubai's figure is like a ghost, and he has already collected all the throwing knives in his palm with a single swipe.He saw that the blue bark on the blade was poisonous, and his gaze turned cold again. With a flick of his finger, two throwing knives flew past the man's head, and with another flick, another two throwing knives stopped him. Stay in the way of that person.The man broke out in a cold sweat, and was just about to turn around when another throwing knife struck him, so he had no choice but to draw out his weapon and block it behind his back.There was a clang, but the dagger in his hand was nailed in two by the flying knife.The short sword was originally a rare cold iron weapon. The man lost his weapon and couldn't help feeling distressed. He thought that if the short sword was not twice as thick as ordinary swords, he might be nailed by flying knives. It was me wearing a dagger instead of a dagger, and I couldn't help feeling scared for a while.He still wanted to move, but the back of his neck felt cold, and he was already blocked by some sharp blade.The man thought that the opponent used five of the six throwing knives, and now the one on the back of his neck might also be his own throwing knife.When he thought of seeing the poison on the knife with blood sealing his throat, he couldn't help but feel chills down his spine.
From Dongfang Bubai jumping down from the beam to restraining the jailer, it was only a blink of an eye.Seeing this, Han Naji was stunned for a moment, then he couldn't help getting excited, and babbled a lot to Dongfang Bubai.Dongfang Bubai was impatient, and said in a low voice: "Don't be so wordy! Say one more word, and let you all die on the spot." The man next to Han Naji quickly translated Dongfang Bubai's words, and said a few more words of comfort, It was only then that Han Najib was finally silenced.
Dongfang Bubai touched the jailer's head and neck with a throwing knife, and said in a low voice, "Stay aside." He recognized that this man's martial arts skills were not like that of a Tatar, so he couldn't help being suspicious.
The man was obedient, and followed Dongfang Bubai into the corner without saying a word.When Dongfang Bubai stood still and motioned him to turn around, he said in a low voice, "Who are you, and why do you want to stop me from killing this traitor?" A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Dongfang Bubai frowned slightly, and said coldly, "You recognize me?"
The man was startled, but said in his mouth: "How can I recognize a Tartar lackey like you?"
Dongfang Bubai smiled coldly, and used a throwing knife to pry open the man's collar, revealing a small lotus flower under the pipa bone on the left.He felt that this person's tricks were familiar just now, but now that he saw the secret of the lotus flower, he no longer doubted it, raised his eyebrows and said, "Zhao Quan, long time no see." Had a relationship with Zhao Quan, the leader of the White Lotus Sect.At that time, Zhao Quan was only in his teens. After his father died, he led some members of the White Lotus Sect to flee northward. They passed near Heimuya, and there was some friction between the two sides.At that time, Zhao Quan was captured alive on Heimu Cliff, kowtowed three times and nine times to Dongfang Bubai, begging him to let him go.Dongfang Bubai thought of the glory of the White Lotus Sect in the past, and let Zhao Quan go with a sigh of relief.After many years, Zhao Quan's appearance was quite different from before, but Dongfang Bubai still remembered the secret mark on him, and he was sure of it at a glance.
Seeing that his identity was exposed, Zhao Quan no longer concealed it, and nodded briskly, "It's rare that Dongfang Hierarch still remembers me."
Dongfang Bubai said: "I heard that the White Lotus Sect fled from the pass to the north and has become a running dog of the Tartars. Why did you come here to kill your master?" He knew that Zhao Quan must have been instructed by the little prince, Come to kill Han Naji and blame Daming, but don't tell the truth.
Zhao Quan smiled and said: "I also heard that the Eastern leader died at the hands of Ren Woxing, how could he appear here to protect a fan?"
Dongfang Bubai sneered and said: "Zhao Quan, your life is in my hands. Whatever I ask, you can answer. Don't reverse the direction."
Zhao Quan smiled wryly and said: "My martial arts was not as good as that of the Eastern Hierarch more than ten years ago, and I am afraid that I am even worse now. The Eastern Hierarch asked, how dare I hide anything? That's right, the imperial court is so stupid that it kills innocent people indiscriminately. , I teach abandoning the dark and turning to the bright, and now I am indeed working for my Da Khan." He paused, and then said: "How did they surnamed Zhu slaughter my innocent followers? The Eastern leader saw it in his eyes, don't you feel chilling? Don’t you think that the Ming Sect was also hunted down by their Zhu family, so it changed its name to the Sun Moon God Sect and secretly moved to Heimuya? They killed my father, my four uncles and two older brothers , Is it wrong for me to want revenge? The surname Zhu is so perverse, sooner or later the country will perish. Thinking that Genghis Khan was able to rule the world back then, and he was also a descendant of the golden family. When you died at the hands of Ren Woxing, I have been feeling sorry for you. I never thought that I could meet the Eastern leader here today. If the leader wants to, you can leave the customs with me. As long as I Dahan is willing to help, not only will the situation be cleared. It is just around the corner that Heimuya regains the position of leader, even if he wants to be crowned king and minister in the future, it is not delusional!"
Dongfang Bubai thought, if Zhang Juzheng's method is achieved, I'm afraid you will die in a few days, why are you talking about being a king or a minister?He didn't have much affection for the imperial court, but he never thought of being a traitor and running dog.In his heart, being able to be with He Qicheng is the greatest fortune in the world, how can a mere official rank compare with him?He said in a deep voice, "you go."
Zhao Quan was taken aback for a moment, and wanted to speak again, but he endured it.With Dongfang Bubai here, not to mention him, even ten times as many troops might not be able to kill Han Naji, Dongfang Bubai was willing to let him go, thank God, he could only sigh and retreat silently.
Seeing Zhao Quan walking away, Dongfang Bubai moved and hid himself again.The Hannaji saw that the jailer was gone, but the man in white was nowhere to be seen. He craned his neck to look around for a moment, then whispered a few words to the people around him, and finally sat down on the dry grass, sighing from time to time.
Dongfang Bubai waited until noon, when two more jailers brought food.Seeing that several bowls have been placed on the ground, I can't help but feel a little puzzled.He yelled "Food with broken head" again, put the food and wine in the two cells, and then walked away muttering again.
This time, Han Naji knew the meaning of the jailer's words without waiting for the man beside him to translate.First he rushed up and kicked a job, then he yelled a few words towards the corner where Dongfang Bubai and Zhao Quan disappeared, and then he started to slam his head against the prison door.Seeing the people behind Han Naji, he rushed up and grabbed him, trying to comfort him.After Han Naji showed a dazed expression, he picked up his rice bowl one by one, and ate with spirits without saying a word.
After a while, the jailer came to collect the bowls and chopsticks, and there was a lot of joy in his words.A small group of people stopped at the door of the cell, two bets one, and Han Naji and his party would be pushed out of the cell.Dongfang Bubai estimated that the time was almost up, and when the jailer left, he quickly left the cell and waited quietly by the execution ground.
The execution ground was originally full of chills, but at this time, a few pieces of red silk were hung on both sides, and a banner was torn open, and the four big characters "Killing Barbarians Conference" were written, which added a bit of festiveness.When the people in the city heard that they were going to kill Al Da's grandson, they all smiled happily, and they had already surrounded the execution ground with three floors inside and outside.A few even bought fireworks and firecrackers, and when Hanaji's head fell to the ground, they would set off firecrackers to celebrate.
After a while, Han Naji and his party were taken to the execution ground.There was a sudden buzz in the crowd.I saw nine men and three women lined up, with a target stuck behind their heads, and the word "cut" was written, their heads were downcast, and their faces were ashen.A row of knives and axemen walked behind Han Naji and his party, holding steel knives in their hands, so scary.After a while, the supervisor came to the platform, and the person who came was not a civil servant but a rather mighty-looking general.They ordered the identification of their bodies, and circled the names of the prisoners one by one with a cinnabar pen.
Seeing that he couldn't wait any longer, Dongfang Bubai took out twelve silver needles from his sleeve, and when the supervisor said the word "cut", the knife-axe hand raised the steel knife, and the silver needles were all nailed into the sword-axe hand with a palm of his hand. acupuncture points.
The people in the audience waited for a while, seeing the knife and ax hand holding the steel knife high but not slashing down, they couldn't help discussing it.After a while, even the supervisor and beheader saw that something was wrong and asked people to go down to check.The inspectors saw that each of the knife and ax hands could not move their hands or speak, and after much deliberation they couldn't figure out the reason, so they had to report back that the twelve sword and ax hands were bewitched by an evil spirit.
The supervisor couldn't help being furious, and ordered twelve more swordsmen to come up.Unexpectedly, the twelve big men who came up just stopped still as soon as they raised their steel swords.The supervisor was so angry that his beard cocked up, and he personally took a machete and gestured behind Han Najib.As soon as he lifted it up, his heart went numb and he couldn't move immediately.
As a result, even the supervisor and beheader were bewitched, and everyone inside and outside the execution ground couldn't help being stunned, not knowing what to do.Dongfang Bubai said in his heart, as long as the time passes, today will not be killed, and He Qicheng can catch up no matter what.When he touched his sleeve, there were dozens of silver needles, and he immediately felt relieved.Seeing people being pinched and cold water poured on the stage, he couldn't help laughing secretly.
After a while, only one person in the crowd shouted, "Go up and kill this traitor!" Dongfang Bubai couldn't help frowning slightly upon hearing this.He used silver needles to play tricks, just to delay time.If the people in the audience were encouraged to rush up, no matter how good his martial arts were, he would not be able to save the lives of everyone around Han Naji.Seeing more and more shouts from the crowd, and the fact that the number of soldiers blocking the execution ground was gradually exhausted, he couldn't help feeling cold.Secretly, now they have no choice but to use thunder to kill the leaders to frighten everyone.With three points of inner strength in the palm of his hand, he was about to jump out of the crowd.
Just at this moment, I heard a group of people coming quickly.Dongfang Bubai raised his head and saw He Qicheng in the crowd, he was overjoyed immediately.He Qicheng was also searching for the location of Dongfang Bubai with his eyes, seeing that he was safe and sound, he couldn't help smiling.
When the people outside the execution ground saw the person who was in the lead, they couldn't help but get out of the way.I saw the man with a broad sword on his back and a short beard. Who could it be if it wasn't Governor Wang Chonggu?Wang Chonggu is very famous in Datong City.He is resourceful and has clear rewards and punishments. Everyone from the border people to soldiers and generals admire him.
Wang Chonggu walked into the execution ground, glanced at the situation on the stage, and said with a cold snort: "Nonsense! This person can't be killed! Let's leave!"
If someone else said that in this situation, the surrounding people would definitely not accept it and rushed to reason with him.The one who had no choice but to speak was Wang Chonggu who had rescued them many times under the iron heel of the Tatars. All the soldiers and civilians in Datong City respected Wang Chonggu like a god, and no one dared to speak out to object immediately, and they all dispersed silently.
Seeing this, He Qicheng and Dongfang Bubai couldn't help but smile at each other, knowing that Han Naji's fate was saved.
Part49
On the one hand, Wang Chonggu ordered the generals to properly arrange Hannaji and his party in his own camp, on the other hand he ordered them to dismantle the ritual ground, reprimanded his generals, and according to the confession of the leader of the Tatar spies caught by Dongfang Bubai, sent several The officials who had an affair with the Tatars were imprisoned, and everything was done seamlessly, which made He Qicheng admire him.
After everything was arranged properly, Wang Chonggu changed into casual clothes to meet He Qicheng and Dongfang Bubai.He was in charge of important military and political affairs at the border, and his insight and vision were truly extraordinary.Seeing Dongfang Bubai's air is restrained, his temples on both sides don't protrude out like ordinary inner masters, his appearance doesn't show the depth of martial arts at all, but there is a majestic power on his body, which is rarely seen even in ordinary fierce generals.Wang Chonggu knew that he had met an expert today, so he quickly asked Dongfang Bubai for his name.
Dongfang Bubai smiled lightly, and said the words "Dongfang Bubai".Don't say that Wang Chonggu was surprised when he heard it, even He Qicheng couldn't help being slightly startled when he heard the words.He Qicheng thought about it for a second, and realized that Dongfang Bubai might have recovered his martial arts at this time, and he was no longer afraid of Ren Woxing coming to seek revenge, so he confessed his identity to Wang Chonggu, and he couldn't help but feel secretly happy for him.
Wang Chonggu heard that the person in front of him was actually the world-famous Dongfang Bubai, he couldn't help laughing, and saluted Dongfang Bubai again with the etiquette in the world, never mentioning the change of master of the Sun Moon God Sect, just kept going Praise Dongfang's invincible martial arts.It was interesting for Dongfang Bubai to see this governor. He was clearly a scholar but carried a broad sword behind his back, and he knew a thing or two about the incision gestures in the world.He couldn't help letting go of his prejudice against court officials, and bowed his hands to Wang Chonggu.
Wang Chonggu thought for a while, and said: "This time I went to Xuanhua to inspect, which was originally scheduled a few months ago. I didn't want to, but it happened to happen that Han Naji was surrendered, which almost ruined the big event. Fortunately, two righteous men took action. Not only did he keep the bargaining chip between Ming and Tatars, but he also testified for me all the secret works that have been lurking in Datong City for many years, and I will replace wine with tea here, and toast the two of you!" After finishing speaking, he raised his tea bowl to He Qicheng and Dongfang Bubai nodded.
He Qicheng saw that the hospitality in Wang Chonggu's camp was very different from that of ordinary officials, and there was no distinction between guests and hosts, so they sat around a table with the Eight Immortals. On the table was a large pot of herbal tea, a stack of porcelain bowls, and a plate of peanuts.When a guest came, he took a porcelain bowl and gave the guest tea.The porcelain bowl was a bit larger than an ordinary rice bowl, it didn't look like it was used by a governor of a place, but it was a bit like a tea bowl that was provided for passers-by to drink tea for free at the entrance of a restaurant and inn.Seeing Wang Chonggu respecting tea, he quickly said politely, poured another bowl full of tea for himself and Dongfang Bubai, the three of them clinked bowls and drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing this, a small soldier at the side couldn't help whispering: "My lord is famous for 'a cup of tea, a bucket of tea', so every time he has to drink with him."
Wang Chonggu straightened his face and said: "Nonsense! Drinking in the camp is easy to cause trouble, so I drink tea!" After saying that, he threw a peanut into his mouth, chewed it a few times and swallowed it, and said: "Don't be offended, both of you. , These kids are all spoiled by me. But he was right. Back then, I drank a few more glasses after the exam was released, and I almost didn’t wake up when the palace exam came, hahahaha..."
Dongfang Bubai saw that the soldier was only over ten years old, he was thin and small, it really didn't look like he was qualified for the post of guard.He heard that in the barracks there are often generals and young soldiers around for fun, so he couldn't help squinting his eyes and said with a smile: "My lord Wang is a young soldier."
Just as Wang Chonggu was about to explain, the soldier seemed to have heard the same words, and immediately blushed and said angrily: "We are all orphans in the army, and my adults are afraid that we will be displaced by no one to take care of us. Take it with you!"
Seeing the shy and angry expression on his face, Dongfang Bubai knew what he said was true, smiled slightly and said: "I just wanted to say, at such a young age, it is easier to practice any kind of kung fu."
Wang Chonggu's eyes lit up, and he said to the soldier: "Quickly kneel down to the Dongfang righteous man!" The soldier's eyes turned red when he heard this.Wang Chonggu said again: "Stupid boy! The martial arts of the righteous man in the east is the best in the world. If he is willing to teach you every move, you will benefit a lot for the rest of your life!" The soldier thought, this man in white looks like a scholar Generally speaking, without the mighty spirit of the generals outside, how could he be a martial arts master?It's just that he was extremely convinced of Wang Chonggu in his heart, even though he had doubts, he obediently walked up to Dongfang Bubai and knelt down, and said in a low voice, "Master."
Dongfang Bubai shook his head and said: "Your aptitude is still not enough to be my disciple. But I will wait for people here, come to me in the afternoon from tomorrow." He had misunderstood Wang Chonggu before, so he was willing to spend a few days of hard work He trained a personal guard for him, but he never thought about accepting apprentices.
The soldier was even more aggrieved when he heard the words, but he didn't want to shed tears in front of Dongfang Bubai, he bit his lip and offered a bowl of tea to Dongfang Bubai, then stood aside again.Afterwards, this person acquired Dongfang Bubai and passed on his martial arts for three days, and became a famous general in Ming Dynasty.
Wang Chonggu knew Dongfang Bubai's identity, seeing that he was willing to teach martial arts, he was in a good mood, chatted for a few more words, and then said: "Recently there are remnants of the White Lotus Sect active in the city, I will arrange Han Naji in the back camp, although there are The sergeants are guarding heavily, but they still can't be completely at ease. Could you invite the two of you to live in the back camp as well, so that you can protect them from the sidelines?"
He Qicheng immediately nodded in agreement.Wang Chonggu saw that among the two of them, He Qicheng seemed to be the first in everything, and he didn't know how He Qicheng made the No. 1 martial artist in the world obey him, so he couldn't help being amazed.He is an upright person and never likes to pry into other people's privacy, so he just put the matter aside after thinking about it, and told He Qicheng and Dongfang Bubai the secret signs and rules in the camp, and then asked his soldiers to send them to rest.
He Qicheng and Dongfang Bubai were led into the barracks, seeing that everything in the room was clean and tidy, and the things used were a little better than Wang Chonggu's. Knowing that Wang Chonggu made special arrangements, he couldn't help feeling grateful.The two of them didn't stop, and immediately went to see Han Naji and others.
It is only a few steps away from Hannaji's residence and the two's residence, but it is a big white tent.Dongfang Bubai saw two Tatar guards standing in front of the tent, as if he had seen him in a prison cell, dressed in Tatar attire, full of energy, standing guard, there was a faint snoring sound coming from the tent.Knowing that Han Naji was resting, he walked around and recognized the faces of several generals in charge of guarding before returning to the barracks.
As soon as he entered the door, He Qicheng in front turned around and stuck to it.Dongfang Bubai was startled, and hastily closed the door with his backhand, glared at He Qicheng, pushed him away a little, frowned and said, "It smells like sweat." Seeing He Qicheng's burning eyes, he seemed to burn a hole in his body In general, I can't help but my heart beats violently.
He Qicheng took half a step back, nodded and said, "It's also good to wash up."
Dongfang Bubai was taken aback, but He Qicheng had already gone out to find someone to boil water.After He Qicheng took off his clothes in front of him, stepped into the wooden barrel, and took a comfortable bath, Dongfang Bubai walked to the table step by step, sat down with his back to He Qicheng, poured a cup of tea, and watched The cup was silently in a daze.The sound of water could be heard from time to time, and Dongfang Bubai remembered that the two of them had bathed together in Tangquan, but now his mood was hotter and hotter than before.He didn't intend to refuse He Qicheng's approach just now, but now he was a little worried that He Qicheng would not look at him like he did just now after taking a bath, so all kinds of thoughts came to him, and he became crazy.
He Qicheng had sharp eyes, and seeing Dongfang Bubai's ears turn slightly red from behind, he couldn't help laughing.I scrubbed my body carefully with soap locusts, dried my hair and body with a towel, changed into a new set of clothes, and then asked someone to move the bucket out again.
Dongfang Bubai waited for a while, and then He Qicheng approached from behind step by step after hearing all sorts of noises. For some reason, he suddenly felt uncomfortable, and stared down at the teacup in his hand.After a while, a gust of hot air approached behind him, and He Qicheng whispered in his ear, "I'm thirsty after taking a bath. Brother Dongfang, give me a glass of water!"
Dongfang Bubai turned sideways, raised his hand and handed over the teacup.He Qicheng took a sip from Dongfang Bubai's hand, licked his lips, and said with a smile, "It's so sweet." Dongfang Bubai's whole body suddenly became hot with a bang, his fingers flicked, and he almost couldn't hold the teacup steadily.He Qicheng took advantage of the situation to grab Dongfang Bubai's wrist, gently placed it on the table, and slowly pressed it to his sweetheart's lips.When their lips touched, the two couldn't help but stop breathing at the same time, and then sucked lightly as if they were thirsty.
Dongfang Bubai only felt that He Qicheng's wet hair touched his cheek, and a fresh breath mixed with body temperature and heat rushed towards his face after a bath.When He Qicheng untied the belt on his body with his warm fingers, his clothes were loose, and kisses fell on his neck and chest, his whole body seemed to be lit up with fire. If he hadn't worried about patrolling soldiers outside the barracks, he would have cried out .
"what are you doing?"
Feeling He Qicheng's fingers probing into his private place, Dongfang Bubai was startled, as if a basin of cold water was poured on his head, the previous emotional tide receded completely in an instant, and his whole body froze.He pinched He Qicheng's wrist firmly, and said in his mouth, "Go to bed, I'll help you..." It's not that he has never met He Qicheng honestly, but He Qicheng's actions at this time seem to be teasing his vitals. but it is
As the commander of the Dengzhou Guard, Qi Jiguang's jurisdiction is in Shandong. It was precisely because of the autumn defense that he was transferred to the Datong area to assist in the defense.Unexpectedly, a strange thing happened——
But he said that Alda had a favorite grandson named Bahannaji, whose father Tiejietaiji had been raised by Alda's old wife after his death.After growing up, Han Naji not only looks talented, but also resourceful and eloquent, which won the trust of his grandfather.His grandmother chose a wife for him. A year later, Hanaji was dissatisfied with his wife and fell in love with another woman from the same tribe, so he gave the dowry again.Unfortunately, when I was on a tour at this time, I ran into my granddaughter San Niangzi by chance. I was shocked and wanted to marry her back.At this time, San Niangzi had already accepted the dowry from other tribes. As soon as the other tribe heard that I wanted to take his wife, they immediately sent troops to attack the Tumed tribe.I was helpless, so I came up with an idea of stealing the bride and groom, and gave the wife Han Naji hired by my grandson as the third lady to the other party.As soon as this incident happened, it was like a bolt from the blue to Han Najib. It didn't count that his grandfather married his granddaughter, and the woman he loved so much was handed over to others by himself!Han Naji is only less than 20 years old, because he is favored by Al Da, he has always been arrogant and arrogant, how could he have suffered such grievances.Immediately, his blood surged up, and he brought his servant and wife, and a group of more than ten people came to the city of Datong overnight, asking for the Ming Dynasty.
Daming and the Tatars had been feuding for a long time, and when the generals at the border saw Hannaji coming to vote, they all wanted to kill him to vent their anger.Qi Jiguang couldn't help being shocked when he saw this, knowing that this person's death would be like giving me an excuse to attack Daming.With an idea, he proposed to hold a "killing barbarian conference", which must first be announced to the people at the border, and then Han Naji will be executed in public, but he came to the capital to discuss Zhang Juzheng's idea.When he left Datong, he had already heard that I Da was gathering troops outside the pass.As for the Tatars who hunted him down on the road, most of them were subordinates of Alta's ninth son, the little prince.The little prince had been at odds with Bahanaji for a long time, and they wanted to fight for the right to inherit the Khan throne. When he heard that Hannaji fled south, he must have killed him by the hands of Daming.He has some connections in Daming, that's why he sent people to chase and kill Qi Jiguang all the way.
After hearing Zhang Juzheng's words, He Qicheng couldn't help being moved, and asked respectfully: "Master Zhang asked me to wait to save someone, but the one who wants to save is that Hannaji?"
Zhang Juzheng stroked his beard and said with a smile: "That's right. This matter seems small, but it has a lot to do with the side affairs. Han Naji is the crown prince who was raised by my old wife. If you kill him, Daming won't get it." Half of the benefits, but I have to fight a tough battle with Alda."
He Qicheng frowned and said, "Master Zhang, you want to keep him?"
Zhang Juzheng shook his head and said: "I want to send this person back to me."
As soon as this remark came out, even Dongfang Bubai couldn't help but said in surprise: "What?!"
Zhang Juzheng paused for a moment, but asked a question that seemed irrelevant: "Do you two know how much money Da Ming spends on frontier military salaries every year?"
He Qicheng and Dongfang Bubai couldn't help being startled when they heard the words.
"400 million taels." Zhang Juzheng sighed, "Da Ming's annual income is only 250 million taels, and it is a full 400 million taels just to guard against Tatar's military expenses. This way, you can eat more than you need, and then delay In ten years, there is no need to wait for the Tatars to attack, and the Ming Dynasty... will perish."
Although He Qicheng and Dongfang Bubai are dragons and phoenixes among men, this is the first time they have heard of such a major military and political event.Just two simple numbers, but people can't help but feel frightened after hearing them.He Qicheng immediately cupped his fists and said: "Master Zhang has any orders, please feel free to tell me! Qicheng is not talented, but he is willing to do his part for the people of the world!"
Zhang Juzheng nodded and said: "I saw that Mr. He was extraordinary when I was in Jiangling. Now that you said this, I knew that I was right! I intend to increase income and reduce expenditure for the Ming Dynasty. The first thing I do is to start from the north. First, we need to negotiate a peace with the Tatars. After the northern army is reduced, we will find a way to send troops to the south to eliminate the Japanese plague. The south is a land of fish and rice. As long as there is peace for more than ten years, my Ming Dynasty will have the strength to take it back in one fell swoop. Hetao, deterring the barbarians in the north. Then they can seize Qinghai, Tibet, and western Sichuan, restore the whole Liao Dynasty, realize the grand plan set by Emperor Taizu, and become the largest country in the universe!"
Zhang Juzheng's words were categorical, and there was a sense of righteousness in his body, which made people's blood boil when they heard it, and wished they could see such a prosperous world.
Zhang Juzheng paused, and then said: "I heard from Yuan Jing (Qi Jiguang's word) that the two horses are extremely fast, so I want to invite the two to go to Datong and hand over my secret letter to Governor Wang Chonggu. Han Naji's life will be saved, and if possible, even the people around him will be spared, lest he feel resentment towards Daming. As for the future, someone will naturally go to join the two. I'm here to vent to the two of you first, I want to use Han Naji to Alda in exchange for the head of the White Lotus Sect who rebelled against Zhao Quan and others. Although this man is a Han, he has always been in collusion with the Tatars, and he is treacherous and cunning , is the number one counselor under the little prince's seat. He used to use suspicious tactics to exhaust the soldiers on the border of Daming, and I gave him an opportunity many times. Zhao Quan hated Daming to the bone, and he never got rid of him. He never negotiated peace with me. Possibly. Even if the agreement is signed, it will be instigated by this person to tear it up in a blink of an eye. I intend to use the exchange to open the gap in the negotiation of the Hanaji matter, and to find a hundred years of peace for the northern border of the Ming Dynasty. The two are me Vanguard officer, this matter is of great importance. If Han Naji’s life is lost, the loss of life at the border will not be counted. If Daming’s vitality is greatly damaged in this battle, it will take at least ten years to recover, so please do your best. I will do my best here, thank you in advance!"
He Qicheng and Dongfang Bubai looked at each other, they both knew that this matter was no small matter, so they didn't refuse immediately, they put away the letter paper given by Zhang Juzheng, and asked Qi Jiguang a few words about the situation, then each led their horses, and used the waist card Zhang Juzheng gave them to go out. After entering the city gate, he rushed to the border gate without stopping all night.
After traveling all night like this, Dongfang Bubai felt sorry for He Qicheng, seeing that the sky was slightly bright, he wanted to let him find a place to rest before leaving early.But He Qicheng shook his head and said no, took out dry food from his bosom and shared Dongfang Bubai's portion, drank cold water for a while, and galloped away.
After walking for several hours, I finally came to the city of Datong.After He Qicheng inquired a bit, he found out that Governor Wang Chonggu had gone to Xuanhua for inspection but hadn't returned.However, Han Naji and others were locked in the dungeon, and a date has been set to be executed in public.He Qicheng thought for a moment, held Dongfang Bubai's hand and said, "Brother Dongfang, for the present plan, we have to divide the troops into two groups. I went to Xuanhua to find Wang Chonggu to rescue the soldiers, but I have to work hard for you to delay here. I still have a few Take a pill, you keep it by your side for emergencies. If you really can't do it, don't force it. Everything... everything is based on your own safety."
It was the first time Dongfang Bubai saw He Qicheng showing such a mother-in-law attitude.Seeing the worried look on He Qicheng's face, he couldn't help feeling warm, took the porcelain vase, and said with a smile: "It's just a few dog officials with ordinary martial arts, it's really not good, I just take that barbarian and escape."
He Qicheng knew very well that there were more than ten thousand people guarding the city at this moment, and with the little prince's troops coveting by his side, even if Dongfang Bubai wanted to take people away, it would be extremely difficult.What's more, in the city of Datong, from three-year-old children to 60-year-old women, almost everyone has a grudge against Tatars. How easy is it to hide it from so many eyes?He knew that this matter was difficult, but he had to leave Dongfang Bubai alone, and felt extremely uncomfortable.He had no choice but to tightly hug Dongfang Bubai's waist, put his head on Dongfang Bubai's neck, took a deep breath, and said in a low voice: "Brother Dongfang, if something happens, I will never live alone!"
Dongfang Bubai's eyes couldn't help but widen a little. Although He Qicheng's words were not sweet words, they were more touching than any sweet words he had ever heard.He knew that He Qicheng had great ambitions, and he had just had a chance to show his ambitions after leaving the He family, but he could say such words for himself, how could he not be moved?At that moment, he patted He Qicheng's back lightly, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen all the scenery of the world with you yet, so how can I be willing to go first?" Less dangerous."
He Qicheng took another deep breath before letting go of Dongfang Bubai.But the worried expression just now was gone on his face, and there was a glow of self-confidence in his eyes.He nodded to Dongfang Bubai, said in a deep voice, "Wait for me!" He jumped on his horse and galloped towards the city gate.
Dongfang Bubai watched He Qicheng leave, found an inn to store the horses, had a full meal, and then walked step by step towards the dungeon in the city.
Part48
Set the date for Hannaji's interrogation and execution at noon today.Dongfang Bubai thought in his heart, from Datong to Xuanhua, with the foot strength of Long Wenma, he can fight back and forth in less than half a day. As long as he delays for a while on the execution ground, he should be able to wait for the reinforcements from Heqicheng, but he must beware of the third prince's people secretly start.Thinking about it, I couldn't feel relieved after not seeing anyone, so I simply walked around the door of the cell.
Dongfang Bubai observed for a while, saw a small group of people going in to change shifts, and quietly followed behind into the cell.Datong is close to the border, and tens of miles to the north is the Great Wall. Governor Wang Chonggu is in charge of military and political affairs. The people in the city are tough but simple, so the number of prisoners in the dungeon is not too many.After the small group of people replaced the guards in the original cell and took their positions, Dongfang Bubai hid in the darkness and searched for a while, and soon found where Hannaji was.
It is estimated that because of their special status, more than ten Hannaji and his party were divided into two prisons, male and female, close together, and locked in the innermost cell.Dongfang Bubai saw a luxuriously dressed Tatar pacing back and forth in the prison cell, swearing a few words from time to time, knowing that this person was Hanaji, he couldn't help laughing.Thinking that Han Naji threw himself to the south in a fit of anger, but never thought that he would end up in this field, he really is a short-sighted reckless man.If this person inherits the sweat position of Al Da, it would really be a great fortune for Ming Dynasty.Seeing that Hanaji was still safe, he suddenly jumped onto the beam and sat down.
After a while, a jailer came with a bucket of food, and said coldly: "Food for decapitation. When you are full, you can go on the road." He put the food in large bowls and placed them at the door of the cell through the fence.The Hannaji obviously couldn't understand Chinese, so he turned around and asked a question in a few words. A man beside him translated it in a low voice, and then he opened his eyes wide, screamed strangely, and threw his fists at the jailer.
A warning sign suddenly rose in Dongfang Bubai's heart.He thought to himself, usually the jailer who delivered the food was always two people together, if the prisoner suddenly became violent and tried to hold the jailer who placed the food hostage, it would be good to have someone to take care of him.But the jailer came alone to deliver the food, and Han Naji rushed towards him. He didn't seem to be frightened, but stood at the door in a daze, as if he was waiting for Han Naji to catch him. Isn't it very interesting Strange?
With a thought, before Hanaji rushed to the prison door, he flew up and pressed his palm on the jailer's head.Dongfang Bubai wanted to test the jailer's martial arts, so he intentionally let out a bit of his palm.Seeing that the man was really short and dodged it, obviously he was very skillful, he couldn't help but sneered in his heart, turned his palm and cut the back of the man's neck instead.
That man was amazing, he seemed to have eyes in his back at a critical moment, he threw six willow-leaf flying knives with his backhand, and rolled forward to avoid Dongfang Bubai's knife.Dongfang Bubai's figure is like a ghost, and he has already collected all the throwing knives in his palm with a single swipe.He saw that the blue bark on the blade was poisonous, and his gaze turned cold again. With a flick of his finger, two throwing knives flew past the man's head, and with another flick, another two throwing knives stopped him. Stay in the way of that person.The man broke out in a cold sweat, and was just about to turn around when another throwing knife struck him, so he had no choice but to draw out his weapon and block it behind his back.There was a clang, but the dagger in his hand was nailed in two by the flying knife.The short sword was originally a rare cold iron weapon. The man lost his weapon and couldn't help feeling distressed. He thought that if the short sword was not twice as thick as ordinary swords, he might be nailed by flying knives. It was me wearing a dagger instead of a dagger, and I couldn't help feeling scared for a while.He still wanted to move, but the back of his neck felt cold, and he was already blocked by some sharp blade.The man thought that the opponent used five of the six throwing knives, and now the one on the back of his neck might also be his own throwing knife.When he thought of seeing the poison on the knife with blood sealing his throat, he couldn't help but feel chills down his spine.
From Dongfang Bubai jumping down from the beam to restraining the jailer, it was only a blink of an eye.Seeing this, Han Naji was stunned for a moment, then he couldn't help getting excited, and babbled a lot to Dongfang Bubai.Dongfang Bubai was impatient, and said in a low voice: "Don't be so wordy! Say one more word, and let you all die on the spot." The man next to Han Naji quickly translated Dongfang Bubai's words, and said a few more words of comfort, It was only then that Han Najib was finally silenced.
Dongfang Bubai touched the jailer's head and neck with a throwing knife, and said in a low voice, "Stay aside." He recognized that this man's martial arts skills were not like that of a Tatar, so he couldn't help being suspicious.
The man was obedient, and followed Dongfang Bubai into the corner without saying a word.When Dongfang Bubai stood still and motioned him to turn around, he said in a low voice, "Who are you, and why do you want to stop me from killing this traitor?" A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Dongfang Bubai frowned slightly, and said coldly, "You recognize me?"
The man was startled, but said in his mouth: "How can I recognize a Tartar lackey like you?"
Dongfang Bubai smiled coldly, and used a throwing knife to pry open the man's collar, revealing a small lotus flower under the pipa bone on the left.He felt that this person's tricks were familiar just now, but now that he saw the secret of the lotus flower, he no longer doubted it, raised his eyebrows and said, "Zhao Quan, long time no see." Had a relationship with Zhao Quan, the leader of the White Lotus Sect.At that time, Zhao Quan was only in his teens. After his father died, he led some members of the White Lotus Sect to flee northward. They passed near Heimuya, and there was some friction between the two sides.At that time, Zhao Quan was captured alive on Heimu Cliff, kowtowed three times and nine times to Dongfang Bubai, begging him to let him go.Dongfang Bubai thought of the glory of the White Lotus Sect in the past, and let Zhao Quan go with a sigh of relief.After many years, Zhao Quan's appearance was quite different from before, but Dongfang Bubai still remembered the secret mark on him, and he was sure of it at a glance.
Seeing that his identity was exposed, Zhao Quan no longer concealed it, and nodded briskly, "It's rare that Dongfang Hierarch still remembers me."
Dongfang Bubai said: "I heard that the White Lotus Sect fled from the pass to the north and has become a running dog of the Tartars. Why did you come here to kill your master?" He knew that Zhao Quan must have been instructed by the little prince, Come to kill Han Naji and blame Daming, but don't tell the truth.
Zhao Quan smiled and said: "I also heard that the Eastern leader died at the hands of Ren Woxing, how could he appear here to protect a fan?"
Dongfang Bubai sneered and said: "Zhao Quan, your life is in my hands. Whatever I ask, you can answer. Don't reverse the direction."
Zhao Quan smiled wryly and said: "My martial arts was not as good as that of the Eastern Hierarch more than ten years ago, and I am afraid that I am even worse now. The Eastern Hierarch asked, how dare I hide anything? That's right, the imperial court is so stupid that it kills innocent people indiscriminately. , I teach abandoning the dark and turning to the bright, and now I am indeed working for my Da Khan." He paused, and then said: "How did they surnamed Zhu slaughter my innocent followers? The Eastern leader saw it in his eyes, don't you feel chilling? Don’t you think that the Ming Sect was also hunted down by their Zhu family, so it changed its name to the Sun Moon God Sect and secretly moved to Heimuya? They killed my father, my four uncles and two older brothers , Is it wrong for me to want revenge? The surname Zhu is so perverse, sooner or later the country will perish. Thinking that Genghis Khan was able to rule the world back then, and he was also a descendant of the golden family. When you died at the hands of Ren Woxing, I have been feeling sorry for you. I never thought that I could meet the Eastern leader here today. If the leader wants to, you can leave the customs with me. As long as I Dahan is willing to help, not only will the situation be cleared. It is just around the corner that Heimuya regains the position of leader, even if he wants to be crowned king and minister in the future, it is not delusional!"
Dongfang Bubai thought, if Zhang Juzheng's method is achieved, I'm afraid you will die in a few days, why are you talking about being a king or a minister?He didn't have much affection for the imperial court, but he never thought of being a traitor and running dog.In his heart, being able to be with He Qicheng is the greatest fortune in the world, how can a mere official rank compare with him?He said in a deep voice, "you go."
Zhao Quan was taken aback for a moment, and wanted to speak again, but he endured it.With Dongfang Bubai here, not to mention him, even ten times as many troops might not be able to kill Han Naji, Dongfang Bubai was willing to let him go, thank God, he could only sigh and retreat silently.
Seeing Zhao Quan walking away, Dongfang Bubai moved and hid himself again.The Hannaji saw that the jailer was gone, but the man in white was nowhere to be seen. He craned his neck to look around for a moment, then whispered a few words to the people around him, and finally sat down on the dry grass, sighing from time to time.
Dongfang Bubai waited until noon, when two more jailers brought food.Seeing that several bowls have been placed on the ground, I can't help but feel a little puzzled.He yelled "Food with broken head" again, put the food and wine in the two cells, and then walked away muttering again.
This time, Han Naji knew the meaning of the jailer's words without waiting for the man beside him to translate.First he rushed up and kicked a job, then he yelled a few words towards the corner where Dongfang Bubai and Zhao Quan disappeared, and then he started to slam his head against the prison door.Seeing the people behind Han Naji, he rushed up and grabbed him, trying to comfort him.After Han Naji showed a dazed expression, he picked up his rice bowl one by one, and ate with spirits without saying a word.
After a while, the jailer came to collect the bowls and chopsticks, and there was a lot of joy in his words.A small group of people stopped at the door of the cell, two bets one, and Han Naji and his party would be pushed out of the cell.Dongfang Bubai estimated that the time was almost up, and when the jailer left, he quickly left the cell and waited quietly by the execution ground.
The execution ground was originally full of chills, but at this time, a few pieces of red silk were hung on both sides, and a banner was torn open, and the four big characters "Killing Barbarians Conference" were written, which added a bit of festiveness.When the people in the city heard that they were going to kill Al Da's grandson, they all smiled happily, and they had already surrounded the execution ground with three floors inside and outside.A few even bought fireworks and firecrackers, and when Hanaji's head fell to the ground, they would set off firecrackers to celebrate.
After a while, Han Naji and his party were taken to the execution ground.There was a sudden buzz in the crowd.I saw nine men and three women lined up, with a target stuck behind their heads, and the word "cut" was written, their heads were downcast, and their faces were ashen.A row of knives and axemen walked behind Han Naji and his party, holding steel knives in their hands, so scary.After a while, the supervisor came to the platform, and the person who came was not a civil servant but a rather mighty-looking general.They ordered the identification of their bodies, and circled the names of the prisoners one by one with a cinnabar pen.
Seeing that he couldn't wait any longer, Dongfang Bubai took out twelve silver needles from his sleeve, and when the supervisor said the word "cut", the knife-axe hand raised the steel knife, and the silver needles were all nailed into the sword-axe hand with a palm of his hand. acupuncture points.
The people in the audience waited for a while, seeing the knife and ax hand holding the steel knife high but not slashing down, they couldn't help discussing it.After a while, even the supervisor and beheader saw that something was wrong and asked people to go down to check.The inspectors saw that each of the knife and ax hands could not move their hands or speak, and after much deliberation they couldn't figure out the reason, so they had to report back that the twelve sword and ax hands were bewitched by an evil spirit.
The supervisor couldn't help being furious, and ordered twelve more swordsmen to come up.Unexpectedly, the twelve big men who came up just stopped still as soon as they raised their steel swords.The supervisor was so angry that his beard cocked up, and he personally took a machete and gestured behind Han Najib.As soon as he lifted it up, his heart went numb and he couldn't move immediately.
As a result, even the supervisor and beheader were bewitched, and everyone inside and outside the execution ground couldn't help being stunned, not knowing what to do.Dongfang Bubai said in his heart, as long as the time passes, today will not be killed, and He Qicheng can catch up no matter what.When he touched his sleeve, there were dozens of silver needles, and he immediately felt relieved.Seeing people being pinched and cold water poured on the stage, he couldn't help laughing secretly.
After a while, only one person in the crowd shouted, "Go up and kill this traitor!" Dongfang Bubai couldn't help frowning slightly upon hearing this.He used silver needles to play tricks, just to delay time.If the people in the audience were encouraged to rush up, no matter how good his martial arts were, he would not be able to save the lives of everyone around Han Naji.Seeing more and more shouts from the crowd, and the fact that the number of soldiers blocking the execution ground was gradually exhausted, he couldn't help feeling cold.Secretly, now they have no choice but to use thunder to kill the leaders to frighten everyone.With three points of inner strength in the palm of his hand, he was about to jump out of the crowd.
Just at this moment, I heard a group of people coming quickly.Dongfang Bubai raised his head and saw He Qicheng in the crowd, he was overjoyed immediately.He Qicheng was also searching for the location of Dongfang Bubai with his eyes, seeing that he was safe and sound, he couldn't help smiling.
When the people outside the execution ground saw the person who was in the lead, they couldn't help but get out of the way.I saw the man with a broad sword on his back and a short beard. Who could it be if it wasn't Governor Wang Chonggu?Wang Chonggu is very famous in Datong City.He is resourceful and has clear rewards and punishments. Everyone from the border people to soldiers and generals admire him.
Wang Chonggu walked into the execution ground, glanced at the situation on the stage, and said with a cold snort: "Nonsense! This person can't be killed! Let's leave!"
If someone else said that in this situation, the surrounding people would definitely not accept it and rushed to reason with him.The one who had no choice but to speak was Wang Chonggu who had rescued them many times under the iron heel of the Tatars. All the soldiers and civilians in Datong City respected Wang Chonggu like a god, and no one dared to speak out to object immediately, and they all dispersed silently.
Seeing this, He Qicheng and Dongfang Bubai couldn't help but smile at each other, knowing that Han Naji's fate was saved.

On the one hand, Wang Chonggu ordered the generals to properly arrange Hannaji and his party in his own camp, on the other hand he ordered them to dismantle the ritual ground, reprimanded his generals, and according to the confession of the leader of the Tatar spies caught by Dongfang Bubai, sent several The officials who had an affair with the Tatars were imprisoned, and everything was done seamlessly, which made He Qicheng admire him.
After everything was arranged properly, Wang Chonggu changed into casual clothes to meet He Qicheng and Dongfang Bubai.He was in charge of important military and political affairs at the border, and his insight and vision were truly extraordinary.Seeing Dongfang Bubai's air is restrained, his temples on both sides don't protrude out like ordinary inner masters, his appearance doesn't show the depth of martial arts at all, but there is a majestic power on his body, which is rarely seen even in ordinary fierce generals.Wang Chonggu knew that he had met an expert today, so he quickly asked Dongfang Bubai for his name.
Dongfang Bubai smiled lightly, and said the words "Dongfang Bubai".Don't say that Wang Chonggu was surprised when he heard it, even He Qicheng couldn't help being slightly startled when he heard the words.He Qicheng thought about it for a second, and realized that Dongfang Bubai might have recovered his martial arts at this time, and he was no longer afraid of Ren Woxing coming to seek revenge, so he confessed his identity to Wang Chonggu, and he couldn't help but feel secretly happy for him.
Wang Chonggu heard that the person in front of him was actually the world-famous Dongfang Bubai, he couldn't help laughing, and saluted Dongfang Bubai again with the etiquette in the world, never mentioning the change of master of the Sun Moon God Sect, just kept going Praise Dongfang's invincible martial arts.It was interesting for Dongfang Bubai to see this governor. He was clearly a scholar but carried a broad sword behind his back, and he knew a thing or two about the incision gestures in the world.He couldn't help letting go of his prejudice against court officials, and bowed his hands to Wang Chonggu.
Wang Chonggu thought for a while, and said: "This time I went to Xuanhua to inspect, which was originally scheduled a few months ago. I didn't want to, but it happened to happen that Han Naji was surrendered, which almost ruined the big event. Fortunately, two righteous men took action. Not only did he keep the bargaining chip between Ming and Tatars, but he also testified for me all the secret works that have been lurking in Datong City for many years, and I will replace wine with tea here, and toast the two of you!" After finishing speaking, he raised his tea bowl to He Qicheng and Dongfang Bubai nodded.
He Qicheng saw that the hospitality in Wang Chonggu's camp was very different from that of ordinary officials, and there was no distinction between guests and hosts, so they sat around a table with the Eight Immortals. On the table was a large pot of herbal tea, a stack of porcelain bowls, and a plate of peanuts.When a guest came, he took a porcelain bowl and gave the guest tea.The porcelain bowl was a bit larger than an ordinary rice bowl, it didn't look like it was used by a governor of a place, but it was a bit like a tea bowl that was provided for passers-by to drink tea for free at the entrance of a restaurant and inn.Seeing Wang Chonggu respecting tea, he quickly said politely, poured another bowl full of tea for himself and Dongfang Bubai, the three of them clinked bowls and drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing this, a small soldier at the side couldn't help whispering: "My lord is famous for 'a cup of tea, a bucket of tea', so every time he has to drink with him."
Wang Chonggu straightened his face and said: "Nonsense! Drinking in the camp is easy to cause trouble, so I drink tea!" After saying that, he threw a peanut into his mouth, chewed it a few times and swallowed it, and said: "Don't be offended, both of you. , These kids are all spoiled by me. But he was right. Back then, I drank a few more glasses after the exam was released, and I almost didn’t wake up when the palace exam came, hahahaha..."
Dongfang Bubai saw that the soldier was only over ten years old, he was thin and small, it really didn't look like he was qualified for the post of guard.He heard that in the barracks there are often generals and young soldiers around for fun, so he couldn't help squinting his eyes and said with a smile: "My lord Wang is a young soldier."
Just as Wang Chonggu was about to explain, the soldier seemed to have heard the same words, and immediately blushed and said angrily: "We are all orphans in the army, and my adults are afraid that we will be displaced by no one to take care of us. Take it with you!"
Seeing the shy and angry expression on his face, Dongfang Bubai knew what he said was true, smiled slightly and said: "I just wanted to say, at such a young age, it is easier to practice any kind of kung fu."
Wang Chonggu's eyes lit up, and he said to the soldier: "Quickly kneel down to the Dongfang righteous man!" The soldier's eyes turned red when he heard this.Wang Chonggu said again: "Stupid boy! The martial arts of the righteous man in the east is the best in the world. If he is willing to teach you every move, you will benefit a lot for the rest of your life!" The soldier thought, this man in white looks like a scholar Generally speaking, without the mighty spirit of the generals outside, how could he be a martial arts master?It's just that he was extremely convinced of Wang Chonggu in his heart, even though he had doubts, he obediently walked up to Dongfang Bubai and knelt down, and said in a low voice, "Master."
Dongfang Bubai shook his head and said: "Your aptitude is still not enough to be my disciple. But I will wait for people here, come to me in the afternoon from tomorrow." He had misunderstood Wang Chonggu before, so he was willing to spend a few days of hard work He trained a personal guard for him, but he never thought about accepting apprentices.
The soldier was even more aggrieved when he heard the words, but he didn't want to shed tears in front of Dongfang Bubai, he bit his lip and offered a bowl of tea to Dongfang Bubai, then stood aside again.Afterwards, this person acquired Dongfang Bubai and passed on his martial arts for three days, and became a famous general in Ming Dynasty.
Wang Chonggu knew Dongfang Bubai's identity, seeing that he was willing to teach martial arts, he was in a good mood, chatted for a few more words, and then said: "Recently there are remnants of the White Lotus Sect active in the city, I will arrange Han Naji in the back camp, although there are The sergeants are guarding heavily, but they still can't be completely at ease. Could you invite the two of you to live in the back camp as well, so that you can protect them from the sidelines?"
He Qicheng immediately nodded in agreement.Wang Chonggu saw that among the two of them, He Qicheng seemed to be the first in everything, and he didn't know how He Qicheng made the No. 1 martial artist in the world obey him, so he couldn't help being amazed.He is an upright person and never likes to pry into other people's privacy, so he just put the matter aside after thinking about it, and told He Qicheng and Dongfang Bubai the secret signs and rules in the camp, and then asked his soldiers to send them to rest.
He Qicheng and Dongfang Bubai were led into the barracks, seeing that everything in the room was clean and tidy, and the things used were a little better than Wang Chonggu's. Knowing that Wang Chonggu made special arrangements, he couldn't help feeling grateful.The two of them didn't stop, and immediately went to see Han Naji and others.
It is only a few steps away from Hannaji's residence and the two's residence, but it is a big white tent.Dongfang Bubai saw two Tatar guards standing in front of the tent, as if he had seen him in a prison cell, dressed in Tatar attire, full of energy, standing guard, there was a faint snoring sound coming from the tent.Knowing that Han Naji was resting, he walked around and recognized the faces of several generals in charge of guarding before returning to the barracks.
As soon as he entered the door, He Qicheng in front turned around and stuck to it.Dongfang Bubai was startled, and hastily closed the door with his backhand, glared at He Qicheng, pushed him away a little, frowned and said, "It smells like sweat." Seeing He Qicheng's burning eyes, he seemed to burn a hole in his body In general, I can't help but my heart beats violently.
He Qicheng took half a step back, nodded and said, "It's also good to wash up."
Dongfang Bubai was taken aback, but He Qicheng had already gone out to find someone to boil water.After He Qicheng took off his clothes in front of him, stepped into the wooden barrel, and took a comfortable bath, Dongfang Bubai walked to the table step by step, sat down with his back to He Qicheng, poured a cup of tea, and watched The cup was silently in a daze.The sound of water could be heard from time to time, and Dongfang Bubai remembered that the two of them had bathed together in Tangquan, but now his mood was hotter and hotter than before.He didn't intend to refuse He Qicheng's approach just now, but now he was a little worried that He Qicheng would not look at him like he did just now after taking a bath, so all kinds of thoughts came to him, and he became crazy.
He Qicheng had sharp eyes, and seeing Dongfang Bubai's ears turn slightly red from behind, he couldn't help laughing.I scrubbed my body carefully with soap locusts, dried my hair and body with a towel, changed into a new set of clothes, and then asked someone to move the bucket out again.
Dongfang Bubai waited for a while, and then He Qicheng approached from behind step by step after hearing all sorts of noises. For some reason, he suddenly felt uncomfortable, and stared down at the teacup in his hand.After a while, a gust of hot air approached behind him, and He Qicheng whispered in his ear, "I'm thirsty after taking a bath. Brother Dongfang, give me a glass of water!"
Dongfang Bubai turned sideways, raised his hand and handed over the teacup.He Qicheng took a sip from Dongfang Bubai's hand, licked his lips, and said with a smile, "It's so sweet." Dongfang Bubai's whole body suddenly became hot with a bang, his fingers flicked, and he almost couldn't hold the teacup steadily.He Qicheng took advantage of the situation to grab Dongfang Bubai's wrist, gently placed it on the table, and slowly pressed it to his sweetheart's lips.When their lips touched, the two couldn't help but stop breathing at the same time, and then sucked lightly as if they were thirsty.
Dongfang Bubai only felt that He Qicheng's wet hair touched his cheek, and a fresh breath mixed with body temperature and heat rushed towards his face after a bath.When He Qicheng untied the belt on his body with his warm fingers, his clothes were loose, and kisses fell on his neck and chest, his whole body seemed to be lit up with fire. If he hadn't worried about patrolling soldiers outside the barracks, he would have cried out .
"what are you doing?"
Feeling He Qicheng's fingers probing into his private place, Dongfang Bubai was startled, as if a basin of cold water was poured on his head, the previous emotional tide receded completely in an instant, and his whole body froze.He pinched He Qicheng's wrist firmly, and said in his mouth, "Go to bed, I'll help you..." It's not that he has never met He Qicheng honestly, but He Qicheng's actions at this time seem to be teasing his vitals. but it is
