When Xu Ling'er and the girl were sent back to the barracks, Xu Yihou was so shocked that he couldn't say a word, he couldn't believe that his weak son had such a ability? He even rescued a girl from the enemy camp.

At this moment, in order to dispel his father's worries, Xu Linger smiled and said: "Please don't worry, Daddy, in the past two years, when the child was grazing cattle at the foot of Qingyuan Mountain, he had learned some kung fu from the Shaolin monks, but he didn't think about it, but he actually used it today." ”

Xu Yihou was so excited that she burst into tears, grabbed her son's hands, and sighed: "As long as it's okay, it's okay." ”

General Qi Yin said: "Mr. Xu, if it weren't for Ling Gongzi's help, I don't know how much price I would have to pay for the next siege battle?" Now, the scout officer has entered the city, and in two days he will definitely be able to take Pinghaiwei in one fell swoop, so you can rest for one night today, and go to Beijing with General Zhang Yue tomorrow. ”

Then, Xu Ling'er told the story that happened at the south gate of the Acropolis to his father and General Qi Yin, and proposed to send more scouts into the city through the tunnels to provoke the conflict between the south gate guards Wuzhu and Quan Saburo, so that they could start infighting first.

General Qi Yin deeply agreed, said goodbye to the Xu family father and son, returned to the army, and urgently interrogated the captured widows.

After the rescued girl came to see Xu Yi, she knelt on the ground and cried: "The slave's surname is Tian, called Rong'er, yesterday the village was ransacked by the Japanese Invaders, and all the children of the family died ......under the sword of the Japanese Invaders."

"Daddy, it's the village we passed by this morning."

"What a pathetic! We checked the village and outside the village, and dozens of villagers were all killed. Miss Rong'er, don't worry, General Hu Shouren is cleaning up the aftermath in the village. ”

Rong'er, who was in tears, whimpered and said: "All the relatives of the slave family are gone, and now, the family is gone......"

"Dad, recognize Rong'er as a goddaughter, let's bring her into the capital."

"Good. General Zhang Yue is a tiger general, and he can't delay the war of the Qi family army because of us, so I will go to see Lord Qi to ask for a favor, and take Rong'er back to my hometown tomorrow to pay tribute to those villagers who were killed, and then add soil and incense to her parents' graves. ”

After appeasing Rong'er, Xu Yi went to General Qi Jiguang again, and General Qi understood his hard work very well, so he agreed to his request.

According to the confession of the arrested Japanese and the clues provided by Xu Ling'er, that night, General Qi Jiguang convened a military meeting of the generals.

The next day, the father and son of the Xu family left with Rong'er, and General Qi Jiguang also received a message from the two generals Yu Dayou and Liu Xian.

Gathering the information from all sides, General Qi Jiguang reformulated the battle plan, and all the soldiers were also ready for all the preparations before the war.

Early in the morning of this day, the Qi army sent hundreds of people to feint at the north gate and the west gate, and the general Hu Shouren led more than 2,000 soldiers to take the lead in breaking through from the south gate, and the fierce siege battle lasted for more than two hours, and finally captured Pinghaiwei.

The Japanese invaders in the city did not stop, their reinforcements did not arrive, but what they were waiting for was the fierce blow of the Qi army, the Japanese had no intention of fighting, ready to flee from the sea in the east, and were intercepted by General Liu Xian and General Yu Dayou's left and right water divisions, and in the end, only a dozen or so Japanese robbers died to protect their young sovereignty Sanlang, escaped from the encirclement of the water division, and the rest of the people were all floating on the sea.

The great victory of Pinghaiwei means that all the Japanese in Guangdong and Fujian have been purged, General Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou and Liu Xian will join forces in Pinghai Acropolis, and the father and son of the Xu family have just returned, and they are invited to participate in the celebration banquet.

At the banquet, the generals praised Xu Ling'er's achievements, and General Qi Jiguang proposed that the three of them should jointly sign to write a letter of recommendation to Zhu Xizhong, the commander of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, the commander of the Shenji Battalion, and the commander of the Jinyi Guard, recommending Xu Ling'er to join the Jinyi Guard, and will surely become the pillar of the country.

Although Xu Yihou did everything possible to stop him, saying that his son was just a weak scholar and could not be of great use, the three general soldiers of Qi, Liu, and Yu still wrote a letter of recommendation, signed their names, and handed it to General Zhang Yue, who escorted the father and son of the Xu family.

In the early morning of the next day, the generals led by Qi Jiguang sent the Xu family father and son out of the Pinghai Acropolis, and General Zhang Yue led the guards to escort them to Beijing.

After a long journey of more than half a month, General Zhang Yue led the guards to the capital, the carriage drove through a tall and majestic city gate, Ling'er and Rong'er secretly opened the curtain, only to see the gatehouse archway in the distance, the mansion mansion is one after another, the endless long street is lined with shops, the hawkers' shouts are endless, the noisy and prosperous capital is overwhelming......

At this time, Xu Yihou had a solemn face, a villager who had been living overseas for many years, living at such an old age, except for dealing with General Qi Jiguang, he had never even seen the Qipin County Order, and he couldn't help but have doubts in his heart, not knowing whether it was a blessing or a curse to enter Beijing this time......

So, Xu Yihou babbled and told his son, when he arrived in Beijing, he must be extra cautious in his words and deeds, and Xu Linger nodded and agreed to his father's earnest teachings.

The guards sent the Xu family father and son to the post house of the Ministry of Industry, and Zhao Wenhua, the waiter of the Ministry of Industry and the imperial history of Zhejiang Patrol and Inspector of Zhejiang, wore a black veil on his head, a jade belt around his waist, and a red official uniform, and led a group of officials to stand outside the door to greet him.

Zhang Yue threw the stirrup off the saddle and got off the horse, bowed to Zhao Wenhua, and said: "The last general Zhang Yue visited Lord Zhao, and the last general was ordered to escort the father and son of the Xu family to be late, and I also ask for forgiveness." ”

Zhao Wenhua was angry, as if with a sense of blame, waved his hand at him, and replied nonchalantly: "General Zhang is hard, excuse me." ”

The father and son of the Xu family met Zhao Wenhua and were welcomed into the post house, and at this time, a sumptuous banquet had been arranged.

During the banquet, General Zhang Yue wanted to praise Xu Ling'er, but was stopped by Xu Yihou with a pleading gaze.

So, General Zhang Yue took out the joint recommendation letter of the three general soldiers, and prepared to hand it over to Zhao Wenhua, asking him to transfer it to the old prince Zhu Xizhong, the commander of the capital of the five armies, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and the prince of Chengguo.

Seeing this, Xu Yi snatched the letter of recommendation, tore it to pieces, and sighed: "Please forgive General Zhang, these rumors and words of thanks from the people are mostly false, and they must not be believed, the little old man is a village husband, can he be qualified to enter the palace as an imperial doctor?" I'm afraid it's going to have to be considered. ”

Zhao Wenhua originally thought that the so-called "letter of recommendation" was a letter of thanks written by the patient to Xu Yihou, but in fact, under Luo Wenlong's strong recommendation, he was already familiar with Xu Yihou's experience, so he said with a smile: "Don't look at those words of praise, Doctor Xu can enter the palace as an imperial doctor, everyone, do you know who you have benefited from?" ”

For more than half a year, after looking for Xu Yi in the north and south of the river, Zhang Yue also wanted to know who the recommender was, so he inquired about it.

Zhao Wenhua immediately diverted the topic, and asked Xu Yi with a smile:

"May I ask if Your Excellency is from Tongping, Ji'an?"

"Exactly."

"Hehe, Your Excellency and the old man of the first assistant of the current dynasty are fellow villagers. Again, your Excellency, have you practiced the art of Qihuang since childhood? And specialize in eye diseases? ”

"Exactly."

"In the early years, Your Excellency practiced medicine in the coastal areas of Zhejiang and Fujian, but was kidnapped by the Japanese and sent to Dongying, and went to the blessed land that Qin Shi Huang sent Xu Fu to find, and was fortunate to be instructed by the gods to prepare an immortal medicine called 'Lingzhu Ointment', which specializes in treating eye diseases, but is there such a thing?"

"Lord Qiqi, Lord Zhao, this is really a lie. Although the spirit bead ointment can cure eye diseases, it is not an elixir. ”

"The old gentleman is an honest man, and the officer is deeply grateful. Hehe, if you meet those people who speak wildly and enter the palace, sooner or later they will cause a catastrophe, okay! I will toast you again. Zhao Wenhua said, and the two touched a glass of wine.

Xu Yihou was frightened into a cold sweat and said: "Thanks to Lord Zhao's wrong love, it is really a blessing for the little old man to be able to enter the palace to serve the current Long Live Lord!" The husband of the countryside in Xia Nai, who is honestly afraid, really doesn't dare to compare with the Tai Hospital judge Li Shizhen back then, and he will be satisfied if he can give the imperial doctor Ouchi a shot in the future. ”

"Doctor Xu is too humble, no matter whether your medical skills are given by the gods or not, as long as you can cure the disease, that is your ability. Recruiting you to the palace as a judge of the Tai Hospital, it is the result of the first assistant of the court, the elder Yan Pavilion, in front of today's saints, you don't have to shirk anymore, if you let your Excellency give the imperial doctor a hand in the big house, then, where do you let the face of the elder of the pavilion go? ”

Hearing that Yan Song recommended himself, Xu Yihou gasped and said: "I'm afraid that the little old man is used to wandering around the countryside, and if he misses the big things in the palace in the future, it will affect the old man of the pavilion." ”

"Hehe, as Mr. said just now, it's too early to let you enter the palace now, Your Excellency still has to go through some assessment. I don't know if you know, your fellow countryman, known as the old man of the small pavilion, Yan Shifan, has been suffering from eye disease for many years, and famous doctors from all over the country have treated him, but he has not been able to get better. ”

General Zhang Yue heard the cattiness, and thought to himself, no wonder the imperial court cabinet was so fanfare, running all over the north and south of the river, looking for the famous doctor who had obtained the true legend of the sea immortals to enter Beijing, and couldn't help but sigh: "The facial features are not correct, and you are not allowed to enter the cabinet." The last general heard that Xiao Ge suffered a big loss because of this eye disease. ”

Zhao Wenhua glared at Zhang Yue angrily, he knew that Yan Shifan's reputation among the people was extremely poor, so he turned his head and persuaded with a pleasant face: "Seeing that Gongzi Ling is also a scholar, if he can cure the eye disease of Xiaoge Lao, Gongzi will participate in the imperial examination, and the title of the gold list will be wrapped in the body of this official, there is Xu Shenyi serving the emperor in the palace, and Gongzi is an official in the court and has the favor of fellow villager Yan Gelao, he will be able to rise step by step, and he will be ranked among the scholars of Wenyuan Pavilion in the future." ”

Xu Yihou understood the mystery and wanted to retreat as soon as possible while General Zhang Yue was still present, so he said: "I'm afraid that I, a rural villager, is even more powerless, and the little old man has no heart to climb the same township pavilion, and my son has no intention of being an official in the imperial examination. ”

found that they were suspicious, how could Zhao Wenhua give up? Immediately pulled his face down, seeing that the meal was almost finished, he got up and shouted: "Come on, quickly wash the dust of Mr. Xu's father and son, and after a short rest, send it to the house of the old man of the small pavilion." ”

Regarding the fate of the Xu family's father and son, Zhang Yue suddenly had an ominous premonition, got up and hugged his fists and said: "Lord Zhao, most of the folk words are false, the last general has been fighting against the Japanese in the coastal provinces for many years, and he has never heard of the name of the divine doctor Xu Yihou, and no one has witnessed that he can cure eye diseases, since he does not want to be an official, let the last general take their father and son back to the military camp to serve." ”

"General Zhang, whether Mr. Xu can cure eye diseases, we naturally know in our hearts, we don't need you to worry about it! This official knows that you have won a big victory, but now that the Japanese in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have not been cleared, I wanted to stay in the capital for a few more days, but I didn't dare to delay the battle on the front line, Lord Qi is about to move to Hangzhou Bay, it is the time to employ people, General Zhang should hurry back. ”

Hearing Zhao Wenhua's eviction order, Zhang Yue was very annoyed, but he couldn't turn his face with this Lord Zhao because of this, so he had to tell Xu Ling'er and preach: "Master Xu, brother, I should go, you must take care of your father, if there is any difficulty in the future, come to us in the Qi family army camp." ”

Xu Linger deliberately pretended to be pitiful, and replied aggrievedly: "The younger brother originally wanted to participate in the township examination next year and take a show of talent, but when he arrived in the land of the hidden dragon and crouching tiger in the capital, I am afraid that there is no hope. ”

Zhao Wenhua looked at his weak appearance, and thought to himself: With your body and bones, you still want to eat food and become a soldier?

"Lord Zhao, if you let the grass people come to treat the eye disease of the little pavilion elder, I am afraid that you really don't have such a ability, and you will be reluctant to make it difficult, and it will only delay the little pavilion elder ......."

Without waiting for Xu Yi to finish speaking, Zhao Wenhua persuaded: "As the saying goes, if you don't kiss, you are from your hometown." If it weren't for the sake of your fellow villagers, how would you recommend you to enter the palace as an official? As for Xu Gongzi's participation in the imperial examination in the future, it will be wrapped up in the body of this official and the elder of Xiaoge, and I hope that the old gentleman can rejuvenate himself and quickly cure the eye disease of the elder of Xiaoge. ”

It was useless to say more, so everyone stopped arguing, and after the banquet, Zhao Wenhua hurriedly sent General Zhang Yue away, and personally led people to send the Xu family father and son into Yan Shifan's mansion.

After passing through the high walls, the father and son were placed in the workshop in the back garden, and in the face of the fierce and vicious family, Xu Yihou made up her mind in her heart: It seems that she can't go, but she would rather die than succumb to the Yan family's traitorous party, but she is afraid of affecting the innocent Rong'er girl. What made him happy was that his son was deeply hidden, and he actually had such good skills, so he pinned his hope of escaping from the Yan Mansion on his son......
