Sunrise in the East - Smile Allure
Chapter 50
Two days later, the Hannaji survived the catastrophe, but he returned to the way of the Mongolian king and grandson. He quarreled with the surrounding defenders several times, saying that he wanted to go out for a ride, and said that he wanted to use the bonfire to barbecue meat. He completely forgot I experienced the miserable situation of eating in prison a few days ago.Wang Chonggu had long ordered Han Naji to be treated kindly, and the defenders did not dare to make things difficult, even if they were beaten, they remained silent.
Only Dongfang Bubai, as soon as he appeared, Han Naji was like seeing a ghost or a mouse meeting a cat in the daytime, and he didn't dare to make any noise in front of him.The defenders all knew that Dongfang Bubai was an expert in the rivers and lakes, and there were a few unconvinced ones who provoked them in private. Dongfang Bubai pierced a horse post outside the door with a flick of a peanut, horrified. All the generals regarded him as a heavenly man one by one.At this time, he saw that Han Naji was not afraid of anything, but he was a little afraid of Dongfang Bubai, so he invited Dongfang Bubai out for a walk from time to time.
On the morning of the third day, He Qicheng went to the Datong market for a tour.When I came back, I followed a bunch of shop assistants, and sent a pile of silk and satin, exquisite things, and a Qing Dynasty man who was said to be from the south of the Yangtze River to Han Naji's tent.When Han Naji was on his way, he didn't want to run away, and he didn't want to roast meat anymore. He listened to the Qing Dynasty man playing the piano all day, and then watched him leave with eager eyes. He didn't bother to find the trouble of the defenders all day.At night, he seemed to be thinking of He Qicheng's good fortune, and asked people to find him and Dongfang Bubai to come over for a drink.He Qicheng brought twelve altars of fine Fenjiu over there, and the three of them drank until midnight, until Han Naji was drunk to the point of intoxication, and fell asleep until the next afternoon.
Dongfang Bubai didn't want He Qicheng to spend so much time on these people, but He Qicheng said quietly that he was showing generosity to others.Only then did Dongfang Bubai know that as soon as Wang Chonggu heard that He Qicheng had such a clever plan to keep Hannaji stable, he immediately sent someone to return the spent silver taels to He Qicheng, and also gave He Qicheng 500 taels of silver to let He Qicheng continue to spend.Dongfang Bubai thought to himself, Wang Chonggu knows how to be flexible, he is not like the usual border generals who only want to fight the Tatars every day, and he is not as pedantic as the court officials, no wonder he can fight with the one in Beijing. Zhang Juzheng coincided with each other.
At noon on the fourth day, Wang Chonggu ordered people to invite He Qicheng and Dongfang Bubai, saying that the envoys from the capital had arrived.The two walked into the room, and saw a fat man with fair skin sitting beside Wang Chonggu, with a person standing on each side fanning him, and a purple sand teapot in front of him, the fragrance of tea was overflowing.While blowing the tea in the cold cup, the fat man couldn't stop panting, "It's so hot! Mr. Wang, do you think this autumn tiger will come as soon as he wants, without saying hello in advance?" His voice was shrill, male and female .
When Wang Chonggu saw He Qicheng and Dongfang Bubai coming in, he hurriedly greeted him: "You two righteous men, please sit down! Try the good tea that Eunuch Feng brought!" After he finished speaking, he drank the tea in his cup and poured another cup full .
He Qicheng saw that Wang Chonggu put away the large teapot and tea bowl on the table and replaced it with the tea set brought by the owner. He must have been greedy for the other party's tea, so he couldn't help laughing inwardly.What he saw was a father-in-law who could make decisions on major peace talks, and his status should not be low, so he hurriedly handed over his hands and announced his name.
The fat eunuch had never heard of Dongfang Bubai's name, he just felt that the white-clothed man's name was much more domineering than his own.When he saw the two people in front of him, they were both handsome, each with their own beauty, which made people's eyes light up. He smiled and said, "The miscellaneous family's surname is Feng, and each name has the word Bao. You don't need to be too polite, hurry up." Come and taste our family's Mingqian Longjing." Usually, when he stepped out of the imperial palace, he would be frighteningly big, but because the one in front of him was a first-rank frontier official, and the other two were people Zhang Juzheng valued, so he put aside his personal appearance to make friends.
He Qicheng was surprised when he heard that the person in front of him was Feng Bao.That Feng Bao was one of the three ministers who were responsible for life left by the late emperor. In the world, it can be regarded as the No. 1 under the high arch of the emperor and the first assistant, and Zhang Juzheng's status is comparable.Unexpectedly, Zhang Juzheng was able to invite Feng Bao to leave Beijing to preside over the peace talks. It seems that this matter has been settled and there will be no further changes.
Seeing Feng Bao's easy-going words, he immediately smiled, and said a few more polite words before sitting down to chat.Feng Bao said with a smile, I Da Khan originally planned to lead the army to seek revenge, but now the army is less than a hundred miles away from Datong. After receiving Zhang Juzheng's letter, he will send someone to check on Han Naji's life and death.If there are no mistakes, the meeting place can be set tomorrow.As for one of the terms of the peace talks, the date of the horse market at the border will be fixed from now on. Before leaving, Zhang Juzheng has explained that he should listen to He Qicheng's opinions on business matters, so most of the peace talks will be with He Qicheng.
He Qicheng thought for a while and said, the former owner of Sai's racecourse outside the Guan was a mixed race of Han and Tatar, but the current owner, Mrs. Sai, is a full-fledged Han. Don't dare to bully.At that time, you might as well call Mrs. Shang Sai together.This person is very familiar with the situation of the Tatar tribes outside the pass, and the tribes are not monolithic. With her presence, she will definitely win great benefits for Ming Dynasty.As for the framework rules of the transaction, what things are allowed to be bought and sold, what things are encouraged to be bought and sold, and what things are strictly forbidden to be bought and sold, I can provide some suggestions.
Both Feng Bao and Wang Chonggu felt that this plan was feasible.Feng Bao also said that he was in charge of the Horse Supervisor, so he simply designated Sai's Racecourse as a tribute horse farm, and sent horses to Da Nei every year, and gave Mrs. Sai a gold plaque, which was regarded as a commendation of her integrity.As for the various framework and rules of the horse market, He Qicheng will handle them all.What Zhang Juzheng meant was that he only wanted to be able to negotiate and reduce military expenditures. If he could get high-quality horses from the transaction, it would be an extra income.
After talking for a while, Dongfang Bubai asked about Zhao Quan's situation.Feng Baodao, as long as I Dahan sees that his grandson is well, how can a mere Zhao Quan take it to heart, most likely he will agree to Daming's request and offer the head of the leader of the White Lotus Sect in exchange for Hannaji going back.Dongfang Bubai sighed in his heart, thinking that the White Lotus Sect had almost completely perished so far, although it was because of Zhao Quan's help in the tyranny, it was inseparable from the imperial court's sweeping and encircling campaign.In the eyes of the imperial court, the people in the Jianghu are mostly thieves who are not honest enough. If they still form gangs, they will be wiped out sooner or later.Thinking of Ren Woxing's threat to take the island owners, cave masters, and gang leaders of the three mountains and five mountains to attack Hengshan in the Mid-Autumn Festival in August. The last time Ren Woxing attacked Huashan, he mobilized no less than 5 horses. If there is such a movement, I am afraid that the Sun Moon God Sect will cause trouble for the upper body in the future.But at this moment, he had already made up his mind to advance and retreat with He Qicheng, as for his disciples, he didn't take it too seriously.
After the four of them discussed the peace talks, Feng Bao ordered the accompanying imperial chef to serve a table of delicious dishes. He Qicheng, Dongfang Bubai, Feng Bao drank wine, and Wang Chonggu drank tea.In the end, He Qicheng gave Wang Chonggu a catty of Dahongpao and Feng Bao a psychic orb that is warm in winter and cool in summer, and then they left hand in hand with Dongfang Bubai.Seeing Wang Chonggu at the side, he always felt that the two were too close.He was born as a Jinshi, and although he is unruly by nature, he has always followed the principle that the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water. Seeing that He Qicheng and Dongfang Bubai seemed as good as one person, he couldn't help shaking his head.Feng Bao narrowed his eyes slightly, and remained calm.
Back in the barracks, after He Qicheng finished washing up, he saw Dongfang Bubai sitting on the edge of the bed, looking down at the palm of his hand, wondering what he was thinking, so he couldn't help but leaned down and kissed his forehead.Dongfang Bubai whispered: "Why did you give them something back?"
He Qicheng said with a smile: "I'm a businessman. They treat me kindly on the surface, but they probably don't like me in their hearts. Only when they take my things will they be soft-hearted, so they can speak for me in the future."
Dongfang Bubai frowned and said, "I don't allow you to belittle yourself!"
He Qicheng waved his hand and said: "It's not that I despise myself. A businessman values the result rather than the means, and I just want to do my best for the people on the border. I really want to call these court officials brothers and sisters, but I feel a little awkward Miles! Mr. Wang has a sensible nature, and Eunuch Feng has a unique vision. I admire their ways of doing things, but I don’t want to get too close to them. What do they think of me? If you despise me as a human being, I will die of grief!"
Dongfang Bubai glared at He Qicheng and said: "You will talk nonsense." After a pause, he said sullenly: "You just found out that bead a few days ago and put it on, so it's a pity to give it away for no reason. ?" He thought that He Qicheng liked that orb that was warm in winter and cool in summer so much, that's why he felt aggrieved about him.
He Qicheng smiled and said, "It's not because Brother Dongfang disliked the smell of sweat on my body, so I dug out the stock at the bottom of the press box. Now that the beads are gone, Brother Dongfang is not allowed to think I smell bad. Besides, how can ordinary things enter my body?" Got the eyes of the eunuch who is in the hands of the chief inspector of ceremonies? It just so happens that the weather has turned hot these few days, so it just happens to come in handy."
Dongfang Bubai pursed his lips, and said, "You don't want to get close to that Feng Bao, because he is... an eunuch?" He purposely lowered his gaze to conceal the coldness in his eyes.
When He Qicheng rolled his eyes, he couldn't guess what Dongfang Bubai was thinking.With a slight smile, he sat down beside Dongfang Bubai, grabbed Dongfang Bubai's palm, and played with it carefully, but said: "Anyone with a physical disability must have something different in his heart. Eunuchs have no heirs, right? Gold, silver and jewels are unavoidably more important. Therefore, although it is common to accept bribes and use power for personal gain, I don't like it. But it can't be said that I despise eunuchs because of their physical defects."
Dongfang Bubai thought for a moment and asked, "Then what do you think is different from ordinary people in my heart?"
If he had never asked this sentence before, he could only hide it in his heart.Over the past few months, He Qicheng has been subtly influencing and knocking on a corner of his heart, which is why he felt it and asked boldly.
He Qicheng smiled and said: "Actually, there is no need to be disabled. As long as you have suffered a lot, most of them will leave some weird thoughts. I often dream back at midnight, and I feel pain all over my body, as if I was in a hole just now. Being forced to take pills is actually just an illusion, and you will be fine when you wake up. Brother Dongfang hurt himself for practicing martial arts, so naturally some barbs left in his heart. I don’t ask to pull out all these barbs, but I want you I know, no matter if I have worries, no matter if I have rebellious scales, self-confidence or self-sufficiency, I just love you for your unique appearance. If you are as ordinary as the general public, I may not be able to respect and love you as much as I do today You, regard you as the most precious person in the world!"
Dongfang Bubai paused for a moment, then pretended to be angry and said: "Well, He Qicheng, so I don't practice the Sunflower Canon, so you still look down on me?"
He Qicheng hugged Dongfang Bubai's waist, and said with a smile: "How can I, a businessman covered in copper smell, dare to look down on the Dongfang leader who is the best in martial arts in the world? But if there is something unusual about you, I'd rather be you in bed." More often."
"get out!"
Part51
In the early morning of the second day, Altan Khan sent people to visit Bahanaji, and set a place for the peace talks, thirty miles north of the Great Wall, and each side brought 500 troops to the talks.On the side of the Ming Dynasty, the governor Wang Chonggu was in charge, and the eunuch Feng Bao, the chief inspector of ceremonies, was the deputy, and the side of the Tatars was presided over by Altan Khan himself.
When He Qicheng arrived at the place of peace talks, the general who ran into the leader of the army was an old acquaintance.Qi Jiguang was seriously injured before, but luckily he recovered after taking He Qicheng's elixir and recuperating in Beijing for seven days.Zhang Juzheng sent him to send the imperial decree, and led his five hundred elite soldiers to guard the peace talks.
Qi Jiguang was delighted to see He Qicheng and Dongfang Bubai.When he heard that the one who saved him was Dongfang Bubai, the best martial artist in the world, he was amazed.If it wasn't for the responsibility, I just wish I could talk with the two of them all night long.
Dongfang Bubai saw that Qi Jiguang didn't go straight like an ordinary military officer, instead he was rough and thin, with a bit of roughness in his chest, he found it very interesting.In addition, what Qi Jiguang said was mostly about the way of raising and training soldiers, and rarely involved military strategy, which was somewhat similar to the methods he used when he was in charge of the Sun Moon God Sect.The two chatted happily, and it was often Dongfang Bubai and Qi Jiguang who talked for a long time before He Qicheng managed to get in the conversation, and Qi Jiguang would pat him on the shoulder and say that the younger brother was not as knowledgeable as the two older brothers, so he often had to touch his nose depressingly thing.If Dongfang Bubai hadn't stopped him with his eyes, I'm afraid Qi Jiguang would be even more outspoken, even saying that the two elder brothers have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice.
When Qi Jiguang was a teenager, he studied art under Liuhemen, and was deeply influenced by the idea of loyalty first, so he became very close to the two saviors.In addition, after being in the military camp for a long time, he couldn't help admiring people with outstanding martial arts, not to mention that Dongfang Bubai was comparable to him in terms of age and experience, so he immediately took Dongfang Bubai as his confidant.He Qicheng knew that he was a man who valued love and righteousness. Although he couldn't get in the way, he watched Dongfang Bubai talking and laughing, pointing out Jiang Shan, and applauding Qi Jiguang repeatedly. He couldn't help but feel happy for Dongfang Bubai.The three chatted until late at night, and Qi Jiguang went to watch the night before returning to their tents.
At noon on the second day, He Qicheng and Dongfang Bubai were practicing calligraphy in the tent, when they heard that Mrs. Sai had arrived, they rushed to meet her.Mrs. Sai is more than 30 years old, a half-mature lady, with still charming charm, tall and strong figure, facial features are deeper than ordinary women, especially the two eyebrows, the tails of which are slightly upturned, quite calm Self-prestige.Holding a jet-black horsewhip in his hand, he didn't wear a single piece of jewelry except for the hairpin. He walked in a hurry, as if he was a quick-tempered person.Behind him was a bearded Tatar man, wearing iron wristbands on both bowls, and his body was full of muscles, so mighty.
At present, He Qicheng, Dongfang Bubai and Qi Jiguang accompanied him, together with Mrs. Sai and his party, having lunch together in the tent.After three rounds of wine, three rounds of food and five flavors, Mrs. Sai did not shy away from it, first thanked He Qicheng for his recommendation, and then said that the horse offerings and plaques were all empty titles, and she didn't care at all.It's just that it would be a beautiful thing if the two parties could be separated from each other and let her raise her son peacefully.Mrs. Sai also said that she has business dealings with various Tatar tribes, and she is the most familiar with the intricate relationship between the tribes, so she can offer some advice on this aspect.
After finishing the business, Mrs. Sai looked at Dongfang Bubai with piercing eyes, and said three words in a row, which made Dongfang Bubai secretly startled——
"Just now I heard from General Qi that the younger brother of the He family actually gave Zhao Ye to elder brother Jieyi. This is really beyond my expectation. To be honest with the Eastern leader, I originally wanted the younger brother of the He family to give this horse as a gift. For the beloved woman. Girls are all fond of beauty, and Zhao Ye's whole body is snow-white, which is just right."
After a pause, he continued: "But now that I think about it, Zhaoye is lucky to be able to follow Dongfang Bubai, who is number one in martial arts in the world. It's about to turn the pearl into dust."
After finishing speaking, Mrs. Sai looked Dongfang Bubai up and down a few times before she smiled and said, "Besides, even if I see such a godlike figure as Dongfang Bubai, I can't help but be moved, and I want to give away my best horse." Li! But I don’t know that the Eastern Hierarch is busy at night, so he can sit in my tent if he has time.”
Mrs. Sai has been discussing life outside the customs for a long time, and her seductive words are very frank. Not to mention that Dongfang Bubai was too surprised to speak, even the man behind her couldn't help but change his face when he heard the words, and said in a low voice: " Qi Huaer."
Mrs. Sai turned her head and stared at the man, and said with her hands on her hips: "Whoever I want to enter my tent is my business. Why, you want to take care of it too? Timur, don't say that you have such good martial arts skills as the Eastern leader, as long as you If you can beat this horsewhip in my hand, I would also like to let you be my man. It's a pity that you are still my defeat!" After speaking, he smiled and explained to Dongfang Bubai: "The leader of Dongfang Bubai , don’t be surprised. On the prairie, whoever wrestles well and who shoots bows and arrows well can keep his cattle, sheep and horses. Girls love majestic men. If men are not as good as themselves, then It's better not to." While talking, he leaned towards Dongfang Bubai, as if he really liked Dongfang Bubai.
He Qicheng was afraid that Dongfang Bubai would not like women approaching, so he could not help coughing slightly, and said with a wry smile: "Sister Sai, if you want to talk about a mighty and majestic man, there is another one in this tent, why do you only look at Big Brother Dongfang?"
Mrs. Sai smiled and said, "General Qi is naturally the best choice."
Qi Jiguang hurriedly said: "I am busy with military affairs, so I dare not be the guest of the 'Iron Lady'." Mrs. Sai's original name was Sai Tieqi, because of her hot temper and strong martial arts, she got the nickname of "Iron Lady".Although she is a widow, she doesn't keep chastity for her deceased husband. She has several lovers alone, and she gave birth to a son for one of them, which is commensurate with her husband's posthumous son, so she lives in peace.After all, Qi Jiguang came from a family of officials and eunuchs. Although he admired Mrs. Sai as a person, he didn't dare to have anything to do with her.
Mrs. Sai couldn't help shaking her head when she heard the words: "Busy is busy, not daring is not daring, why are there people who are not daring because they are busy? Please rest assured, General Qi, although you are also a mighty and good man, I still like handsome men. Mile!"
He Qicheng quickly interjected: "If you want to be pretty, I think I'm pretty good looking."
Mrs. Sai couldn't help laughing when she heard the words, pointing at He Qicheng and said, "If you were born ten years earlier, maybe I would really like you, but it's a pity that I like Mr. Pretty, but I don't like Mr. Mr. Xiao!" Shake your head.
He Qicheng was said to be young for the second time in the past few days, so he couldn't help but cast a gloomy glance at Dongfang Bubai, and leaned into Dongfang Bubai's ear and whispered: "Brother Dongfang also thinks I'm young?"
Dongfang Bubai almost blushed when he spit out his heat. He gave He Qicheng a hard look, but he started talking with Mrs. Sai in a pleasant manner.Only the man behind Mrs. Sai was still muttering to himself, saying that Dongfang Bubai's martial arts might not be better than his own.
Mrs. Sai immediately raised her eyebrows when she heard the words: "The leader of the East is the No. 1 martial arts in the Central Plains. Even General Qi said that the leader of the East is more than a step above him in martial arts. How can this be false?"
The man said, "Maybe it's the Han people who are modest, but it's not necessarily true." He spoke Chinese jerky, and wanted to express exaggeration, but he used modesty, which made everyone laugh.
Mrs. Sai thought for a while and said, "That's simple. Tonight is the Buddha's birthday, and I Dahan will hold a bonfire to celebrate it. Why don't we let the Eastern leader show his hand, so as to show off the majesty of a master of Ming Dynasty."
Qi Jiguang couldn't help wondering: "Why don't the Tatars believe in shamans, but instead believe in Buddhism?"
Mrs. Sai explained: "Ever since Altan Khan met Sonam Gyatso, the great lama of the Tibetan Yellow Sect in Qinghai last year, and bestowed on him the title of 'Wazir Dalai Lama of All Sacred Knowledge', the Tatars began to I have converted to the Yellow Sect. Nowadays, whenever there is an important event, such as a military expedition or the Naadam Conference, the Yellow Sect lama will first recite scriptures and Buddhas to pray for safety. Altan Khan is very convinced of the Dalai Lama, and he is also invited to the king’s tent. Preaching and propagating the Dharma!"
Qi Jiguang thought for a moment, then murmured: "Qinghai was originally the land of Ming Dynasty, but it was occupied by the Tatars. When Xia Yan and Prime Minister Xia of the previous dynasty were alive, they wanted to take back Qinghai, but they never succeeded. The Tatars spit back the fat they swallowed, but they don't know if they can find a way through the Dalai Lama."
At this time, he only had a rough idea about it, and when he returned to Beijing, he told Zhang Juzheng, and Zhang Juzheng deeply agreed.Soon they sent someone to invite Sonam Gyatso to Gansu for a meeting, exchanged gifts, and agreed to Sonam Gyatso's request for tribute.Although no official title was granted, Sonam Gyatso's status in Tibet was recognized in disguise.Later, through the mediation of Sonam Gyatso, Altan Khan withdrew his troops from Qinghai, and the Ming soldiers took back a large piece of land without bloodshed.
But Mrs. Sai suggested that Dongfang Bubai go to the Tatar bonfire to show off his martial arts. He Qicheng originally thought that Dongfang Bubai would refuse, but he agreed with a smile.He Qicheng suddenly showed a strange look, looked at Mrs. Sai up and down, thought about it and was a little uncertain about Dongfang Bubai, he couldn't help but tightly grasped the palm of his sweetheart, and pulled her towards him.Mrs. Sai has sharp eyes, and after seeing this, she couldn't help laughing at He Qicheng's childish nature, for not seeing his righteous brother get close to others.
He Qicheng felt depressed, until Dongfang Bubai defeated more than [-] people at the bonfire meeting, and the other party didn't even touch his clothes, and even Al Dahan personally rewarded him with fine wine, his mood improved a little.He didn't wait for the bonfire meeting to officially end, and looked for an opportunity to pull Dongfang Bubai back.
Dongfang Bubai felt funny, but he also liked that He Qicheng took himself seriously.On the way, he secretly broke off a few long grasses, and once he entered the tent, before He Qicheng could speak, he tied a straw grasshopper and threw it into He Qicheng's hands, he laughed and said, "Don't worry, I won't go to Mrs. Sai tonight. Come, come, Grasshopper, take it, don't be angry!"
It was the first time for He Qicheng to be teased by Dongfang Bubai. When he saw that the other party's eyes were clearly saying that he was too young to do anything, he couldn't laugh or cry. After thinking about it, he was reluctant to pinch the grasshopper, so he said sullenly: "Not tonight, not tomorrow night." You are not allowed to go, no matter Mrs. Sai or Mrs. Zhao, no matter who you are from now on, you will not be allowed to go! Brother Dongfang, if only I could... be married by you!"
Dongfang Bubai was startled, took a step closer, and said in a low voice, "Why didn't you marry me?"
He Qicheng sighed and said: "I just realized today that Big Brother Dongfang is far superior to me in terms of knowledge and ability. In the past, I kept showing off the things in the mall, so Big Brother Dongfang would ask three questions. I often Complacent, now that I think about it, I really look like a child with a yellow mouth. Since I am not as good as you, why should I marry you?"
Dongfang Bubai paused for a long time before saying quietly: "I am not a child of the grassland."
After finishing speaking, he turned around and went to wash up, ignoring He Qicheng.
After a few days, a peace agreement was finally reached.The two parties agreed to "seal tribute to the city".Al Da Khan was granted the title of "King of Shunyi" and handed over the heads of Zhao Quan, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, and Daming sent the Tatar king and grandson back.The two parties agreed on the number of horses that Tatar would pay tribute each year, agreed on the location of the city and the size of the traded items, signed the document, and Ming rewarded a large amount of silk, cloth, grain, and tea that Tatar urgently needed, and the peace talks were successfully concluded. .
Early the next morning, Dongfang Bubai said that he would go to Heimuya first, and then enter the capital with He Qicheng. It happened that Qi Jiguang was also returning to Beijing to report on his duties, so the three agreed to see each other in the capital.
He Qicheng didn't want Dongfang Bubai to go alone, but he could hear the meaning in his words that he didn't want him to accompany him. Thinking that there was someone Dongfang Bubai wanted to do on the Blackwood Cliff, but Dongfang Bubai could only do it himself. If you decide to stop, you have to give up.He expressed that he would stay in Datong for a few more days so that the horse market could be established quickly.
He Qicheng watched Dongfang Bubai go all the way west, feeling uneasy.Taking a deep breath, he turned around and walked back to the barracks.
Part52
Let's say that Dongfang Bubai rode a BMW to shine at night and galloped all the way in the direction of Heimuya.Heimuya is located in Shanxi, only two hundred miles away from Datong.The Zhaoye horse was as fast as lightning, and arrived at the foot of the Black Wood Cliff in less than two hours.
That Blackwood Cliff was originally a lonely mountain, with cliffs in front and back, easy to defend and difficult to attack, that's why it was chosen by the Sun Moon God Sect as a place to stay.Through the painstaking management of three generations of leaders, countless hidden and bright whistles have been set up, and the end is as solid as gold.Whenever you go in and out, you must use a winch to pull up the hanging basket on the front mountain.Naturally, Dongfang Bubai couldn't go ahead. As for the secret paths that only the leader knew about, he wasn't sure if Ren Woxing had made any changes, and he couldn't risk using them, so he hid Zhao Yema under the cliff first. , Unlocking the lightness kung fu came to the mountain behind Heimuya.
The rear mountain is more steep than the front mountain. I think Dongfang Bubai was seriously injured and jumped off the cliff when he fell from this place.There is a water stream at the bottom of the mountain, not as deep as the calf, and there are sharp stones at the bottom of the stream.Originally, if he fell off the cliff here, he would definitely die.It was a fluke, the day before Dongfang Bubai jumped off the cliff, there had just been a heavy rain in the mountains, the stream surged, and Dongfang Bubai was carried by a branch during the fall, so he survived the catastrophe.At this time, seeing this eerie scene of strange rocks, he couldn't help but feel secretly afraid.
Dongfang Bubai explored along the Jianshui for a while, and picked a rock wall that was still suitable for climbing.His martial arts are outstanding, and his internal strength is at its peak at this time, it is not difficult to climb up the Blackwood Cliff in one go.In normal places, you only need to touch the toes lightly, but in places where there is no place to stand on the slippery ground, you only need to use the gecko's wall-swimming skill, and you can walk freely as if walking on flat ground.
Dongfang Bubai calculated the route, and the place where he went up to Heimuya happened to be his former "boudoir".He leaned close to the cliff and listened for a while, only to find that no one else was around, and then jumped onto the flat ground.He saw that the surrounding vegetation was desolate, and the beautiful scenery of the four seasons like spring in the past had long since disappeared. Even the house and abode were burned to scorched earth. Knowing that Ren Woxing did not keep this place, he felt relieved and followed the memory Direction, go forward.
Not long after walking, a wooden house suddenly appeared in front of him.Dongfang Bubai couldn't help frowning when he saw this, he thought to himself, there used to be no house here, obviously it was newly built later, why on earth did Ren Woxing make such an arrangement again, is it waiting for me to fall into a trap?He once exposed his identity in front of Ren Yingying and Linghu Chong. Although Ren Yingying made a poisonous oath not to reveal it at that time, and pretended to give Linghu Chong chronic poison. .
Since Dongfang Bubai had already had a warning sign, he was naturally extra careful.He is brave and skilled, he walked around the room, and vaguely heard the breathing of a person with low martial arts skills, but there was no trap ambush around him.Dongfang Bubai thought for a while, and with a little force with his fingertips, he wiped the outer wall of the wooden house, only to find that there was mystery hidden inside the wall.It turns out that the outer wall of the wooden house is not a single layer, there is actually a special iron plate inside the outer layer of thin wooden boards, which is extremely hard, even if he has extraordinary skills, he would never be able to break through it without the sharp edge of a treasured knife.
Dongfang Bubai saw that this "wooden house" was actually a big iron cage, but if it was said to be used to confine people, the door was only ajar and not closed tightly, and the martial arts of the person inside was not worth the effort. His imprisonment is really puzzling.But since Ren Woxing built the house on the only way from the "boudoir" to the front hall, he clearly wanted to let himself see it, what is his intention?
He hesitated in his heart, thought for a while, and simply pushed open the door.The light behind the door was dim, and there was no window in the huge room, only a small lamp was lit on the table, which faintly illuminated the person sitting behind the table.Seeing someone push the door open, the man didn't ask any questions, didn't make any movements, and even the rhythm of breathing didn't change at all, as if he didn't hear anything.
Dongfang Bubai stood at the door, but he had mixed feelings in his heart.Although the light in the room was poor, he recognized the person's identity with just one glance.
Yang Lianting!
Thinking back when he saw Yang Lianting for the first time, that man was just an ordinary handyman on Heimu Cliff, secretly hiding in a corner to gamble with a few gang members, he was full of foul language, but he rolled the dice well.He should have just walked by, or scolded everyone to disperse, but he didn't know what kind of demon he was, he thought the words and actions of this person were very interesting, so he quietly stepped aside to watch.When Yang Lianting won all the people's money, a large group of people were sighing, but he waved his hand, saying that he would use the money to treat guests in the dining hall, and everyone immediately became elated, surrounded Yang Lianting and left.Dongfang Bubai came out from the shadows, but he didn't know how long he stood there.
He also couldn't figure out what was going on in his mind.On the one hand, he felt that the rough behavior of this group of people was somewhat similar to his own in the past, on the other hand, he felt that even before he practiced magic skills, he might not be as bold and free as Yang Lianting, and instead had to grow a beard to pretend Sophisticated.After thinking about it, I just feel confused in my heart, and I still have some expectations.From the second day onwards, Yang Lianting was transferred to listen to him, and later he even made Yang Lianting his personal servant.
As for Yang Lianting, although his appearance is masculine, his mind is very delicate, and he can figure out his intentions in everything he does. He was promoted to the deputy general manager in less than two years.At this time, he already had other thoughts about Yang Lianting, but he couldn't bear it.If he only wanted Yang Lianting to be a male favourite, Heimuya would gossip behind his back at most, it wouldn't be a big problem.But what he clearly wanted in his heart was to compare himself to a woman and commit himself to Yang Lianting, this is really shocking.The more he could not make up his mind, the more irritable his temper became, and he would kill people to vent his anger at every turn, causing panic among the people on Heimuya.
Until one day, Yang Lianting brought two maids and accidentally saw through his secret. In his panic, he planned to kill all three of them. Unexpectedly, Yang Lianting knelt down and said that he had been in love with him for a long time, and not only stabbed the two maids beside him to death. , but also to commit suicide in front of him to keep the secret.Dongfang Bubai didn't believe it at first, until the dagger in Yang Lianting's hand was only half a point away from piercing his heart, and then he flew to save him.Even so, Yang Lianting was still seriously injured.He was pleasantly surprised that what he wanted in his heart was rewarded, and he took good care of Yang Lianting.When Yang Lianting recovered from his injuries, the two confessed their hearts to each other and secretly formed a "husband and wife".
From then on, Yang Lianting became the chief executive on the Black Wood Cliff, where one person is under one person and over ten thousand people.Seeing that Yang Lianting loves power, he simply handed over all the affairs of the Sun Moon God Sect to Yang Lianting. He secretly built a garden in the back mountain, dressed in women's clothes, and took care of Yang Lianting's daily life.
Although Yang Lianting showed her "husband's principles" everywhere, she did not dare to overstep the rules, and the two could be regarded as "husband and wife" in harmony.Apart from Yang Lianting's refusal to teach him martial arts, there were very few quarrels.But it was because he had seen that Yang Lianting was too aggressive in martial arts training when he was young, so that his foundation was not stable, and several meridians were secretly injured. Jia, it is really difficult to enter the ranks of first-class masters in this life.If you dissipate your whole body's strength, use great internal strength to open up the meridians, and then re-select brilliant martial arts practice, there is still some possibility of improvement, but Yang Lianting is a person who likes to take shortcuts, and he is definitely not willing to spend three to five years Kung fu to re-practice basic skills.So every time Yang Lianting was eager to try and learn martial arts, he didn't answer the words, and after a long time, he became a thorn in the way between the two of them.
He knew that Yang Lianting still had a concubine at the foot of the mountain.Once, he hinted in a vague way that the two women at the foot of the mountain were found to have been mutilated the next day.He thought to himself, Yang Lianting could kill himself to keep a secret for him, and even kill those two women for his own words, which shows that he loves himself far more than these beautiful women.From then on, when encountering such things again, he would turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye, assuming that Yang Lianting had a few concubines.Instead, she often pretends to be her wife and deceives herself and others.
Later, because of being restrained by Yang Lianting, he was seriously injured, hugged Yang Lianting and jumped into the abyss, did he ever have a word of regret in his heart?
Just thinking about it at this moment, if she were Yang Lianting and accidentally broke the sect's secret, she would have to die in order to survive.As for killing the two maidservants, it was superfluous.But with Yang Lianting's personality, impatience and lack of foresight, it is very possible to do such a thing.As for the women at the bottom of the mountain, Yang Lianting was afraid of harming himself, so he killed them just to protect himself.After all, what this person loves most is power.His martial arts are low, and everything he owns is bestowed by himself, so he will never allow anything that will affect his status in the slightest.As for the end
Only Dongfang Bubai, as soon as he appeared, Han Naji was like seeing a ghost or a mouse meeting a cat in the daytime, and he didn't dare to make any noise in front of him.The defenders all knew that Dongfang Bubai was an expert in the rivers and lakes, and there were a few unconvinced ones who provoked them in private. Dongfang Bubai pierced a horse post outside the door with a flick of a peanut, horrified. All the generals regarded him as a heavenly man one by one.At this time, he saw that Han Naji was not afraid of anything, but he was a little afraid of Dongfang Bubai, so he invited Dongfang Bubai out for a walk from time to time.
On the morning of the third day, He Qicheng went to the Datong market for a tour.When I came back, I followed a bunch of shop assistants, and sent a pile of silk and satin, exquisite things, and a Qing Dynasty man who was said to be from the south of the Yangtze River to Han Naji's tent.When Han Naji was on his way, he didn't want to run away, and he didn't want to roast meat anymore. He listened to the Qing Dynasty man playing the piano all day, and then watched him leave with eager eyes. He didn't bother to find the trouble of the defenders all day.At night, he seemed to be thinking of He Qicheng's good fortune, and asked people to find him and Dongfang Bubai to come over for a drink.He Qicheng brought twelve altars of fine Fenjiu over there, and the three of them drank until midnight, until Han Naji was drunk to the point of intoxication, and fell asleep until the next afternoon.
Dongfang Bubai didn't want He Qicheng to spend so much time on these people, but He Qicheng said quietly that he was showing generosity to others.Only then did Dongfang Bubai know that as soon as Wang Chonggu heard that He Qicheng had such a clever plan to keep Hannaji stable, he immediately sent someone to return the spent silver taels to He Qicheng, and also gave He Qicheng 500 taels of silver to let He Qicheng continue to spend.Dongfang Bubai thought to himself, Wang Chonggu knows how to be flexible, he is not like the usual border generals who only want to fight the Tatars every day, and he is not as pedantic as the court officials, no wonder he can fight with the one in Beijing. Zhang Juzheng coincided with each other.
At noon on the fourth day, Wang Chonggu ordered people to invite He Qicheng and Dongfang Bubai, saying that the envoys from the capital had arrived.The two walked into the room, and saw a fat man with fair skin sitting beside Wang Chonggu, with a person standing on each side fanning him, and a purple sand teapot in front of him, the fragrance of tea was overflowing.While blowing the tea in the cold cup, the fat man couldn't stop panting, "It's so hot! Mr. Wang, do you think this autumn tiger will come as soon as he wants, without saying hello in advance?" His voice was shrill, male and female .
When Wang Chonggu saw He Qicheng and Dongfang Bubai coming in, he hurriedly greeted him: "You two righteous men, please sit down! Try the good tea that Eunuch Feng brought!" After he finished speaking, he drank the tea in his cup and poured another cup full .
He Qicheng saw that Wang Chonggu put away the large teapot and tea bowl on the table and replaced it with the tea set brought by the owner. He must have been greedy for the other party's tea, so he couldn't help laughing inwardly.What he saw was a father-in-law who could make decisions on major peace talks, and his status should not be low, so he hurriedly handed over his hands and announced his name.
The fat eunuch had never heard of Dongfang Bubai's name, he just felt that the white-clothed man's name was much more domineering than his own.When he saw the two people in front of him, they were both handsome, each with their own beauty, which made people's eyes light up. He smiled and said, "The miscellaneous family's surname is Feng, and each name has the word Bao. You don't need to be too polite, hurry up." Come and taste our family's Mingqian Longjing." Usually, when he stepped out of the imperial palace, he would be frighteningly big, but because the one in front of him was a first-rank frontier official, and the other two were people Zhang Juzheng valued, so he put aside his personal appearance to make friends.
He Qicheng was surprised when he heard that the person in front of him was Feng Bao.That Feng Bao was one of the three ministers who were responsible for life left by the late emperor. In the world, it can be regarded as the No. 1 under the high arch of the emperor and the first assistant, and Zhang Juzheng's status is comparable.Unexpectedly, Zhang Juzheng was able to invite Feng Bao to leave Beijing to preside over the peace talks. It seems that this matter has been settled and there will be no further changes.
Seeing Feng Bao's easy-going words, he immediately smiled, and said a few more polite words before sitting down to chat.Feng Bao said with a smile, I Da Khan originally planned to lead the army to seek revenge, but now the army is less than a hundred miles away from Datong. After receiving Zhang Juzheng's letter, he will send someone to check on Han Naji's life and death.If there are no mistakes, the meeting place can be set tomorrow.As for one of the terms of the peace talks, the date of the horse market at the border will be fixed from now on. Before leaving, Zhang Juzheng has explained that he should listen to He Qicheng's opinions on business matters, so most of the peace talks will be with He Qicheng.
He Qicheng thought for a while and said, the former owner of Sai's racecourse outside the Guan was a mixed race of Han and Tatar, but the current owner, Mrs. Sai, is a full-fledged Han. Don't dare to bully.At that time, you might as well call Mrs. Shang Sai together.This person is very familiar with the situation of the Tatar tribes outside the pass, and the tribes are not monolithic. With her presence, she will definitely win great benefits for Ming Dynasty.As for the framework rules of the transaction, what things are allowed to be bought and sold, what things are encouraged to be bought and sold, and what things are strictly forbidden to be bought and sold, I can provide some suggestions.
Both Feng Bao and Wang Chonggu felt that this plan was feasible.Feng Bao also said that he was in charge of the Horse Supervisor, so he simply designated Sai's Racecourse as a tribute horse farm, and sent horses to Da Nei every year, and gave Mrs. Sai a gold plaque, which was regarded as a commendation of her integrity.As for the various framework and rules of the horse market, He Qicheng will handle them all.What Zhang Juzheng meant was that he only wanted to be able to negotiate and reduce military expenditures. If he could get high-quality horses from the transaction, it would be an extra income.
After talking for a while, Dongfang Bubai asked about Zhao Quan's situation.Feng Baodao, as long as I Dahan sees that his grandson is well, how can a mere Zhao Quan take it to heart, most likely he will agree to Daming's request and offer the head of the leader of the White Lotus Sect in exchange for Hannaji going back.Dongfang Bubai sighed in his heart, thinking that the White Lotus Sect had almost completely perished so far, although it was because of Zhao Quan's help in the tyranny, it was inseparable from the imperial court's sweeping and encircling campaign.In the eyes of the imperial court, the people in the Jianghu are mostly thieves who are not honest enough. If they still form gangs, they will be wiped out sooner or later.Thinking of Ren Woxing's threat to take the island owners, cave masters, and gang leaders of the three mountains and five mountains to attack Hengshan in the Mid-Autumn Festival in August. The last time Ren Woxing attacked Huashan, he mobilized no less than 5 horses. If there is such a movement, I am afraid that the Sun Moon God Sect will cause trouble for the upper body in the future.But at this moment, he had already made up his mind to advance and retreat with He Qicheng, as for his disciples, he didn't take it too seriously.
After the four of them discussed the peace talks, Feng Bao ordered the accompanying imperial chef to serve a table of delicious dishes. He Qicheng, Dongfang Bubai, Feng Bao drank wine, and Wang Chonggu drank tea.In the end, He Qicheng gave Wang Chonggu a catty of Dahongpao and Feng Bao a psychic orb that is warm in winter and cool in summer, and then they left hand in hand with Dongfang Bubai.Seeing Wang Chonggu at the side, he always felt that the two were too close.He was born as a Jinshi, and although he is unruly by nature, he has always followed the principle that the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water. Seeing that He Qicheng and Dongfang Bubai seemed as good as one person, he couldn't help shaking his head.Feng Bao narrowed his eyes slightly, and remained calm.
Back in the barracks, after He Qicheng finished washing up, he saw Dongfang Bubai sitting on the edge of the bed, looking down at the palm of his hand, wondering what he was thinking, so he couldn't help but leaned down and kissed his forehead.Dongfang Bubai whispered: "Why did you give them something back?"
He Qicheng said with a smile: "I'm a businessman. They treat me kindly on the surface, but they probably don't like me in their hearts. Only when they take my things will they be soft-hearted, so they can speak for me in the future."
Dongfang Bubai frowned and said, "I don't allow you to belittle yourself!"
He Qicheng waved his hand and said: "It's not that I despise myself. A businessman values the result rather than the means, and I just want to do my best for the people on the border. I really want to call these court officials brothers and sisters, but I feel a little awkward Miles! Mr. Wang has a sensible nature, and Eunuch Feng has a unique vision. I admire their ways of doing things, but I don’t want to get too close to them. What do they think of me? If you despise me as a human being, I will die of grief!"
Dongfang Bubai glared at He Qicheng and said: "You will talk nonsense." After a pause, he said sullenly: "You just found out that bead a few days ago and put it on, so it's a pity to give it away for no reason. ?" He thought that He Qicheng liked that orb that was warm in winter and cool in summer so much, that's why he felt aggrieved about him.
He Qicheng smiled and said, "It's not because Brother Dongfang disliked the smell of sweat on my body, so I dug out the stock at the bottom of the press box. Now that the beads are gone, Brother Dongfang is not allowed to think I smell bad. Besides, how can ordinary things enter my body?" Got the eyes of the eunuch who is in the hands of the chief inspector of ceremonies? It just so happens that the weather has turned hot these few days, so it just happens to come in handy."
Dongfang Bubai pursed his lips, and said, "You don't want to get close to that Feng Bao, because he is... an eunuch?" He purposely lowered his gaze to conceal the coldness in his eyes.
When He Qicheng rolled his eyes, he couldn't guess what Dongfang Bubai was thinking.With a slight smile, he sat down beside Dongfang Bubai, grabbed Dongfang Bubai's palm, and played with it carefully, but said: "Anyone with a physical disability must have something different in his heart. Eunuchs have no heirs, right? Gold, silver and jewels are unavoidably more important. Therefore, although it is common to accept bribes and use power for personal gain, I don't like it. But it can't be said that I despise eunuchs because of their physical defects."
Dongfang Bubai thought for a moment and asked, "Then what do you think is different from ordinary people in my heart?"
If he had never asked this sentence before, he could only hide it in his heart.Over the past few months, He Qicheng has been subtly influencing and knocking on a corner of his heart, which is why he felt it and asked boldly.
He Qicheng smiled and said: "Actually, there is no need to be disabled. As long as you have suffered a lot, most of them will leave some weird thoughts. I often dream back at midnight, and I feel pain all over my body, as if I was in a hole just now. Being forced to take pills is actually just an illusion, and you will be fine when you wake up. Brother Dongfang hurt himself for practicing martial arts, so naturally some barbs left in his heart. I don’t ask to pull out all these barbs, but I want you I know, no matter if I have worries, no matter if I have rebellious scales, self-confidence or self-sufficiency, I just love you for your unique appearance. If you are as ordinary as the general public, I may not be able to respect and love you as much as I do today You, regard you as the most precious person in the world!"
Dongfang Bubai paused for a moment, then pretended to be angry and said: "Well, He Qicheng, so I don't practice the Sunflower Canon, so you still look down on me?"
He Qicheng hugged Dongfang Bubai's waist, and said with a smile: "How can I, a businessman covered in copper smell, dare to look down on the Dongfang leader who is the best in martial arts in the world? But if there is something unusual about you, I'd rather be you in bed." More often."
"get out!"
Part51
In the early morning of the second day, Altan Khan sent people to visit Bahanaji, and set a place for the peace talks, thirty miles north of the Great Wall, and each side brought 500 troops to the talks.On the side of the Ming Dynasty, the governor Wang Chonggu was in charge, and the eunuch Feng Bao, the chief inspector of ceremonies, was the deputy, and the side of the Tatars was presided over by Altan Khan himself.
When He Qicheng arrived at the place of peace talks, the general who ran into the leader of the army was an old acquaintance.Qi Jiguang was seriously injured before, but luckily he recovered after taking He Qicheng's elixir and recuperating in Beijing for seven days.Zhang Juzheng sent him to send the imperial decree, and led his five hundred elite soldiers to guard the peace talks.
Qi Jiguang was delighted to see He Qicheng and Dongfang Bubai.When he heard that the one who saved him was Dongfang Bubai, the best martial artist in the world, he was amazed.If it wasn't for the responsibility, I just wish I could talk with the two of them all night long.
Dongfang Bubai saw that Qi Jiguang didn't go straight like an ordinary military officer, instead he was rough and thin, with a bit of roughness in his chest, he found it very interesting.In addition, what Qi Jiguang said was mostly about the way of raising and training soldiers, and rarely involved military strategy, which was somewhat similar to the methods he used when he was in charge of the Sun Moon God Sect.The two chatted happily, and it was often Dongfang Bubai and Qi Jiguang who talked for a long time before He Qicheng managed to get in the conversation, and Qi Jiguang would pat him on the shoulder and say that the younger brother was not as knowledgeable as the two older brothers, so he often had to touch his nose depressingly thing.If Dongfang Bubai hadn't stopped him with his eyes, I'm afraid Qi Jiguang would be even more outspoken, even saying that the two elder brothers have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice.
When Qi Jiguang was a teenager, he studied art under Liuhemen, and was deeply influenced by the idea of loyalty first, so he became very close to the two saviors.In addition, after being in the military camp for a long time, he couldn't help admiring people with outstanding martial arts, not to mention that Dongfang Bubai was comparable to him in terms of age and experience, so he immediately took Dongfang Bubai as his confidant.He Qicheng knew that he was a man who valued love and righteousness. Although he couldn't get in the way, he watched Dongfang Bubai talking and laughing, pointing out Jiang Shan, and applauding Qi Jiguang repeatedly. He couldn't help but feel happy for Dongfang Bubai.The three chatted until late at night, and Qi Jiguang went to watch the night before returning to their tents.
At noon on the second day, He Qicheng and Dongfang Bubai were practicing calligraphy in the tent, when they heard that Mrs. Sai had arrived, they rushed to meet her.Mrs. Sai is more than 30 years old, a half-mature lady, with still charming charm, tall and strong figure, facial features are deeper than ordinary women, especially the two eyebrows, the tails of which are slightly upturned, quite calm Self-prestige.Holding a jet-black horsewhip in his hand, he didn't wear a single piece of jewelry except for the hairpin. He walked in a hurry, as if he was a quick-tempered person.Behind him was a bearded Tatar man, wearing iron wristbands on both bowls, and his body was full of muscles, so mighty.
At present, He Qicheng, Dongfang Bubai and Qi Jiguang accompanied him, together with Mrs. Sai and his party, having lunch together in the tent.After three rounds of wine, three rounds of food and five flavors, Mrs. Sai did not shy away from it, first thanked He Qicheng for his recommendation, and then said that the horse offerings and plaques were all empty titles, and she didn't care at all.It's just that it would be a beautiful thing if the two parties could be separated from each other and let her raise her son peacefully.Mrs. Sai also said that she has business dealings with various Tatar tribes, and she is the most familiar with the intricate relationship between the tribes, so she can offer some advice on this aspect.
After finishing the business, Mrs. Sai looked at Dongfang Bubai with piercing eyes, and said three words in a row, which made Dongfang Bubai secretly startled——
"Just now I heard from General Qi that the younger brother of the He family actually gave Zhao Ye to elder brother Jieyi. This is really beyond my expectation. To be honest with the Eastern leader, I originally wanted the younger brother of the He family to give this horse as a gift. For the beloved woman. Girls are all fond of beauty, and Zhao Ye's whole body is snow-white, which is just right."
After a pause, he continued: "But now that I think about it, Zhaoye is lucky to be able to follow Dongfang Bubai, who is number one in martial arts in the world. It's about to turn the pearl into dust."
After finishing speaking, Mrs. Sai looked Dongfang Bubai up and down a few times before she smiled and said, "Besides, even if I see such a godlike figure as Dongfang Bubai, I can't help but be moved, and I want to give away my best horse." Li! But I don’t know that the Eastern Hierarch is busy at night, so he can sit in my tent if he has time.”
Mrs. Sai has been discussing life outside the customs for a long time, and her seductive words are very frank. Not to mention that Dongfang Bubai was too surprised to speak, even the man behind her couldn't help but change his face when he heard the words, and said in a low voice: " Qi Huaer."
Mrs. Sai turned her head and stared at the man, and said with her hands on her hips: "Whoever I want to enter my tent is my business. Why, you want to take care of it too? Timur, don't say that you have such good martial arts skills as the Eastern leader, as long as you If you can beat this horsewhip in my hand, I would also like to let you be my man. It's a pity that you are still my defeat!" After speaking, he smiled and explained to Dongfang Bubai: "The leader of Dongfang Bubai , don’t be surprised. On the prairie, whoever wrestles well and who shoots bows and arrows well can keep his cattle, sheep and horses. Girls love majestic men. If men are not as good as themselves, then It's better not to." While talking, he leaned towards Dongfang Bubai, as if he really liked Dongfang Bubai.
He Qicheng was afraid that Dongfang Bubai would not like women approaching, so he could not help coughing slightly, and said with a wry smile: "Sister Sai, if you want to talk about a mighty and majestic man, there is another one in this tent, why do you only look at Big Brother Dongfang?"
Mrs. Sai smiled and said, "General Qi is naturally the best choice."
Qi Jiguang hurriedly said: "I am busy with military affairs, so I dare not be the guest of the 'Iron Lady'." Mrs. Sai's original name was Sai Tieqi, because of her hot temper and strong martial arts, she got the nickname of "Iron Lady".Although she is a widow, she doesn't keep chastity for her deceased husband. She has several lovers alone, and she gave birth to a son for one of them, which is commensurate with her husband's posthumous son, so she lives in peace.After all, Qi Jiguang came from a family of officials and eunuchs. Although he admired Mrs. Sai as a person, he didn't dare to have anything to do with her.
Mrs. Sai couldn't help shaking her head when she heard the words: "Busy is busy, not daring is not daring, why are there people who are not daring because they are busy? Please rest assured, General Qi, although you are also a mighty and good man, I still like handsome men. Mile!"
He Qicheng quickly interjected: "If you want to be pretty, I think I'm pretty good looking."
Mrs. Sai couldn't help laughing when she heard the words, pointing at He Qicheng and said, "If you were born ten years earlier, maybe I would really like you, but it's a pity that I like Mr. Pretty, but I don't like Mr. Mr. Xiao!" Shake your head.
He Qicheng was said to be young for the second time in the past few days, so he couldn't help but cast a gloomy glance at Dongfang Bubai, and leaned into Dongfang Bubai's ear and whispered: "Brother Dongfang also thinks I'm young?"
Dongfang Bubai almost blushed when he spit out his heat. He gave He Qicheng a hard look, but he started talking with Mrs. Sai in a pleasant manner.Only the man behind Mrs. Sai was still muttering to himself, saying that Dongfang Bubai's martial arts might not be better than his own.
Mrs. Sai immediately raised her eyebrows when she heard the words: "The leader of the East is the No. 1 martial arts in the Central Plains. Even General Qi said that the leader of the East is more than a step above him in martial arts. How can this be false?"
The man said, "Maybe it's the Han people who are modest, but it's not necessarily true." He spoke Chinese jerky, and wanted to express exaggeration, but he used modesty, which made everyone laugh.
Mrs. Sai thought for a while and said, "That's simple. Tonight is the Buddha's birthday, and I Dahan will hold a bonfire to celebrate it. Why don't we let the Eastern leader show his hand, so as to show off the majesty of a master of Ming Dynasty."
Qi Jiguang couldn't help wondering: "Why don't the Tatars believe in shamans, but instead believe in Buddhism?"
Mrs. Sai explained: "Ever since Altan Khan met Sonam Gyatso, the great lama of the Tibetan Yellow Sect in Qinghai last year, and bestowed on him the title of 'Wazir Dalai Lama of All Sacred Knowledge', the Tatars began to I have converted to the Yellow Sect. Nowadays, whenever there is an important event, such as a military expedition or the Naadam Conference, the Yellow Sect lama will first recite scriptures and Buddhas to pray for safety. Altan Khan is very convinced of the Dalai Lama, and he is also invited to the king’s tent. Preaching and propagating the Dharma!"
Qi Jiguang thought for a moment, then murmured: "Qinghai was originally the land of Ming Dynasty, but it was occupied by the Tatars. When Xia Yan and Prime Minister Xia of the previous dynasty were alive, they wanted to take back Qinghai, but they never succeeded. The Tatars spit back the fat they swallowed, but they don't know if they can find a way through the Dalai Lama."
At this time, he only had a rough idea about it, and when he returned to Beijing, he told Zhang Juzheng, and Zhang Juzheng deeply agreed.Soon they sent someone to invite Sonam Gyatso to Gansu for a meeting, exchanged gifts, and agreed to Sonam Gyatso's request for tribute.Although no official title was granted, Sonam Gyatso's status in Tibet was recognized in disguise.Later, through the mediation of Sonam Gyatso, Altan Khan withdrew his troops from Qinghai, and the Ming soldiers took back a large piece of land without bloodshed.
But Mrs. Sai suggested that Dongfang Bubai go to the Tatar bonfire to show off his martial arts. He Qicheng originally thought that Dongfang Bubai would refuse, but he agreed with a smile.He Qicheng suddenly showed a strange look, looked at Mrs. Sai up and down, thought about it and was a little uncertain about Dongfang Bubai, he couldn't help but tightly grasped the palm of his sweetheart, and pulled her towards him.Mrs. Sai has sharp eyes, and after seeing this, she couldn't help laughing at He Qicheng's childish nature, for not seeing his righteous brother get close to others.
He Qicheng felt depressed, until Dongfang Bubai defeated more than [-] people at the bonfire meeting, and the other party didn't even touch his clothes, and even Al Dahan personally rewarded him with fine wine, his mood improved a little.He didn't wait for the bonfire meeting to officially end, and looked for an opportunity to pull Dongfang Bubai back.
Dongfang Bubai felt funny, but he also liked that He Qicheng took himself seriously.On the way, he secretly broke off a few long grasses, and once he entered the tent, before He Qicheng could speak, he tied a straw grasshopper and threw it into He Qicheng's hands, he laughed and said, "Don't worry, I won't go to Mrs. Sai tonight. Come, come, Grasshopper, take it, don't be angry!"
It was the first time for He Qicheng to be teased by Dongfang Bubai. When he saw that the other party's eyes were clearly saying that he was too young to do anything, he couldn't laugh or cry. After thinking about it, he was reluctant to pinch the grasshopper, so he said sullenly: "Not tonight, not tomorrow night." You are not allowed to go, no matter Mrs. Sai or Mrs. Zhao, no matter who you are from now on, you will not be allowed to go! Brother Dongfang, if only I could... be married by you!"
Dongfang Bubai was startled, took a step closer, and said in a low voice, "Why didn't you marry me?"
He Qicheng sighed and said: "I just realized today that Big Brother Dongfang is far superior to me in terms of knowledge and ability. In the past, I kept showing off the things in the mall, so Big Brother Dongfang would ask three questions. I often Complacent, now that I think about it, I really look like a child with a yellow mouth. Since I am not as good as you, why should I marry you?"
Dongfang Bubai paused for a long time before saying quietly: "I am not a child of the grassland."
After finishing speaking, he turned around and went to wash up, ignoring He Qicheng.
After a few days, a peace agreement was finally reached.The two parties agreed to "seal tribute to the city".Al Da Khan was granted the title of "King of Shunyi" and handed over the heads of Zhao Quan, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, and Daming sent the Tatar king and grandson back.The two parties agreed on the number of horses that Tatar would pay tribute each year, agreed on the location of the city and the size of the traded items, signed the document, and Ming rewarded a large amount of silk, cloth, grain, and tea that Tatar urgently needed, and the peace talks were successfully concluded. .
Early the next morning, Dongfang Bubai said that he would go to Heimuya first, and then enter the capital with He Qicheng. It happened that Qi Jiguang was also returning to Beijing to report on his duties, so the three agreed to see each other in the capital.
He Qicheng didn't want Dongfang Bubai to go alone, but he could hear the meaning in his words that he didn't want him to accompany him. Thinking that there was someone Dongfang Bubai wanted to do on the Blackwood Cliff, but Dongfang Bubai could only do it himself. If you decide to stop, you have to give up.He expressed that he would stay in Datong for a few more days so that the horse market could be established quickly.
He Qicheng watched Dongfang Bubai go all the way west, feeling uneasy.Taking a deep breath, he turned around and walked back to the barracks.
Part52
Let's say that Dongfang Bubai rode a BMW to shine at night and galloped all the way in the direction of Heimuya.Heimuya is located in Shanxi, only two hundred miles away from Datong.The Zhaoye horse was as fast as lightning, and arrived at the foot of the Black Wood Cliff in less than two hours.
That Blackwood Cliff was originally a lonely mountain, with cliffs in front and back, easy to defend and difficult to attack, that's why it was chosen by the Sun Moon God Sect as a place to stay.Through the painstaking management of three generations of leaders, countless hidden and bright whistles have been set up, and the end is as solid as gold.Whenever you go in and out, you must use a winch to pull up the hanging basket on the front mountain.Naturally, Dongfang Bubai couldn't go ahead. As for the secret paths that only the leader knew about, he wasn't sure if Ren Woxing had made any changes, and he couldn't risk using them, so he hid Zhao Yema under the cliff first. , Unlocking the lightness kung fu came to the mountain behind Heimuya.
The rear mountain is more steep than the front mountain. I think Dongfang Bubai was seriously injured and jumped off the cliff when he fell from this place.There is a water stream at the bottom of the mountain, not as deep as the calf, and there are sharp stones at the bottom of the stream.Originally, if he fell off the cliff here, he would definitely die.It was a fluke, the day before Dongfang Bubai jumped off the cliff, there had just been a heavy rain in the mountains, the stream surged, and Dongfang Bubai was carried by a branch during the fall, so he survived the catastrophe.At this time, seeing this eerie scene of strange rocks, he couldn't help but feel secretly afraid.
Dongfang Bubai explored along the Jianshui for a while, and picked a rock wall that was still suitable for climbing.His martial arts are outstanding, and his internal strength is at its peak at this time, it is not difficult to climb up the Blackwood Cliff in one go.In normal places, you only need to touch the toes lightly, but in places where there is no place to stand on the slippery ground, you only need to use the gecko's wall-swimming skill, and you can walk freely as if walking on flat ground.
Dongfang Bubai calculated the route, and the place where he went up to Heimuya happened to be his former "boudoir".He leaned close to the cliff and listened for a while, only to find that no one else was around, and then jumped onto the flat ground.He saw that the surrounding vegetation was desolate, and the beautiful scenery of the four seasons like spring in the past had long since disappeared. Even the house and abode were burned to scorched earth. Knowing that Ren Woxing did not keep this place, he felt relieved and followed the memory Direction, go forward.
Not long after walking, a wooden house suddenly appeared in front of him.Dongfang Bubai couldn't help frowning when he saw this, he thought to himself, there used to be no house here, obviously it was newly built later, why on earth did Ren Woxing make such an arrangement again, is it waiting for me to fall into a trap?He once exposed his identity in front of Ren Yingying and Linghu Chong. Although Ren Yingying made a poisonous oath not to reveal it at that time, and pretended to give Linghu Chong chronic poison. .
Since Dongfang Bubai had already had a warning sign, he was naturally extra careful.He is brave and skilled, he walked around the room, and vaguely heard the breathing of a person with low martial arts skills, but there was no trap ambush around him.Dongfang Bubai thought for a while, and with a little force with his fingertips, he wiped the outer wall of the wooden house, only to find that there was mystery hidden inside the wall.It turns out that the outer wall of the wooden house is not a single layer, there is actually a special iron plate inside the outer layer of thin wooden boards, which is extremely hard, even if he has extraordinary skills, he would never be able to break through it without the sharp edge of a treasured knife.
Dongfang Bubai saw that this "wooden house" was actually a big iron cage, but if it was said to be used to confine people, the door was only ajar and not closed tightly, and the martial arts of the person inside was not worth the effort. His imprisonment is really puzzling.But since Ren Woxing built the house on the only way from the "boudoir" to the front hall, he clearly wanted to let himself see it, what is his intention?
He hesitated in his heart, thought for a while, and simply pushed open the door.The light behind the door was dim, and there was no window in the huge room, only a small lamp was lit on the table, which faintly illuminated the person sitting behind the table.Seeing someone push the door open, the man didn't ask any questions, didn't make any movements, and even the rhythm of breathing didn't change at all, as if he didn't hear anything.
Dongfang Bubai stood at the door, but he had mixed feelings in his heart.Although the light in the room was poor, he recognized the person's identity with just one glance.
Yang Lianting!
Thinking back when he saw Yang Lianting for the first time, that man was just an ordinary handyman on Heimu Cliff, secretly hiding in a corner to gamble with a few gang members, he was full of foul language, but he rolled the dice well.He should have just walked by, or scolded everyone to disperse, but he didn't know what kind of demon he was, he thought the words and actions of this person were very interesting, so he quietly stepped aside to watch.When Yang Lianting won all the people's money, a large group of people were sighing, but he waved his hand, saying that he would use the money to treat guests in the dining hall, and everyone immediately became elated, surrounded Yang Lianting and left.Dongfang Bubai came out from the shadows, but he didn't know how long he stood there.
He also couldn't figure out what was going on in his mind.On the one hand, he felt that the rough behavior of this group of people was somewhat similar to his own in the past, on the other hand, he felt that even before he practiced magic skills, he might not be as bold and free as Yang Lianting, and instead had to grow a beard to pretend Sophisticated.After thinking about it, I just feel confused in my heart, and I still have some expectations.From the second day onwards, Yang Lianting was transferred to listen to him, and later he even made Yang Lianting his personal servant.
As for Yang Lianting, although his appearance is masculine, his mind is very delicate, and he can figure out his intentions in everything he does. He was promoted to the deputy general manager in less than two years.At this time, he already had other thoughts about Yang Lianting, but he couldn't bear it.If he only wanted Yang Lianting to be a male favourite, Heimuya would gossip behind his back at most, it wouldn't be a big problem.But what he clearly wanted in his heart was to compare himself to a woman and commit himself to Yang Lianting, this is really shocking.The more he could not make up his mind, the more irritable his temper became, and he would kill people to vent his anger at every turn, causing panic among the people on Heimuya.
Until one day, Yang Lianting brought two maids and accidentally saw through his secret. In his panic, he planned to kill all three of them. Unexpectedly, Yang Lianting knelt down and said that he had been in love with him for a long time, and not only stabbed the two maids beside him to death. , but also to commit suicide in front of him to keep the secret.Dongfang Bubai didn't believe it at first, until the dagger in Yang Lianting's hand was only half a point away from piercing his heart, and then he flew to save him.Even so, Yang Lianting was still seriously injured.He was pleasantly surprised that what he wanted in his heart was rewarded, and he took good care of Yang Lianting.When Yang Lianting recovered from his injuries, the two confessed their hearts to each other and secretly formed a "husband and wife".
From then on, Yang Lianting became the chief executive on the Black Wood Cliff, where one person is under one person and over ten thousand people.Seeing that Yang Lianting loves power, he simply handed over all the affairs of the Sun Moon God Sect to Yang Lianting. He secretly built a garden in the back mountain, dressed in women's clothes, and took care of Yang Lianting's daily life.
Although Yang Lianting showed her "husband's principles" everywhere, she did not dare to overstep the rules, and the two could be regarded as "husband and wife" in harmony.Apart from Yang Lianting's refusal to teach him martial arts, there were very few quarrels.But it was because he had seen that Yang Lianting was too aggressive in martial arts training when he was young, so that his foundation was not stable, and several meridians were secretly injured. Jia, it is really difficult to enter the ranks of first-class masters in this life.If you dissipate your whole body's strength, use great internal strength to open up the meridians, and then re-select brilliant martial arts practice, there is still some possibility of improvement, but Yang Lianting is a person who likes to take shortcuts, and he is definitely not willing to spend three to five years Kung fu to re-practice basic skills.So every time Yang Lianting was eager to try and learn martial arts, he didn't answer the words, and after a long time, he became a thorn in the way between the two of them.
He knew that Yang Lianting still had a concubine at the foot of the mountain.Once, he hinted in a vague way that the two women at the foot of the mountain were found to have been mutilated the next day.He thought to himself, Yang Lianting could kill himself to keep a secret for him, and even kill those two women for his own words, which shows that he loves himself far more than these beautiful women.From then on, when encountering such things again, he would turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye, assuming that Yang Lianting had a few concubines.Instead, she often pretends to be her wife and deceives herself and others.
Later, because of being restrained by Yang Lianting, he was seriously injured, hugged Yang Lianting and jumped into the abyss, did he ever have a word of regret in his heart?
Just thinking about it at this moment, if she were Yang Lianting and accidentally broke the sect's secret, she would have to die in order to survive.As for killing the two maidservants, it was superfluous.But with Yang Lianting's personality, impatience and lack of foresight, it is very possible to do such a thing.As for the women at the bottom of the mountain, Yang Lianting was afraid of harming himself, so he killed them just to protect himself.After all, what this person loves most is power.His martial arts are low, and everything he owns is bestowed by himself, so he will never allow anything that will affect his status in the slightest.As for the end
