In the West Garden of the Forbidden City, the bedroom of Emperor Jiajing is full of smoke.

Zhu Xizhong, the commander of the Chengguo Gong, the commander of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, the commander of the Shenji Battalion, and the Jinyi Guard, knelt down outside the tent, bowed his head and said: "The minister has found out that Yan Shifan is indeed 'Tongwei'!" Over the years, he has colluded with pirates Luo Wenlong, Xu Hai and others to cause trouble on the southeast coast, looting people's wealth in the name of changing rice to mulberry, and collecting countless treasures from the east and west......"

Emperor Jiajing, who was wearing a cloak, closed his eyes slightly, sat in the tent, and when he heard this, he suddenly opened his eyes and asked loudly: "Have you all copied them back?" ”

Zhu Xizhong hurriedly kowtowed and replied, "Back to Your Majesty, they have all been put into storage." ”

"Well, Yan Shifan is really hateful, immediately escorted back to the capital from Leizhou, and made a temporary decision!"

"Your Majesty, that Yan Shifan is not respectful, he didn't go to Leizhou at all, Jinyi Wei detective report, Yan Shifan returned to his hometown in Jiangxi, where he built a lot of construction and built a house, according to the pirate Luo Wenlong, who has been arrested, Yan Shifan has established a pirate stronghold in Ningbo, and he may die in Ningbo at any time, colluding with the Japanese to pull the flag and rebel."

Emperor Jiajing raised his head and laughed, and replied: "It's a pity that people's hearts are not ancient, I didn't expect Yan Shifan to do this, it's really unforgivable!" Investigate it immediately! ”

"Your Majesty! Yan Song's father and son are really hateful! ”

"Since I ascended the throne, I have used old ministers, Ming filial piety, to remove old evils, punish corruption, set great gifts, award codes, worship Confucianism, respect the heavens, sympathize with the people, relieve disasters and famines, revitalize farming, encourage sericulture, manage rivers, repair embankments, resist Japanese invaders, and secure Haijiang; I think I should be the master of the world, then Yan Song is also an old man, and he has assisted me for many years, in my opinion, this is just Yan Shifan's crime, so Yan Song will return to his hometown. ”

"Your Majesty Shengming, as Your Majesty said, Yan Shifan'er is really unforgivable to kill like this."

Emperor Jiajing waved his hand and said viciously: "You go down." Ten days later, he was escorted back to Yan Shifan West City to behead and execute the pirate Luo Wenlong Lingchi! ”

Zhu Xizhong still bowed his head and knelt there, pondered for a moment, and continued: "The minister still has one thing to show to the saint, the son and righteous son of the former dangerous mountain general Yincheng (Li Chengliang Yincheng) general, the capture of Luo Wenlong has made a great contribution, and the minister asks for a reward for the two. ”

Emperor Jiajing was a little impatient and replied, "Are you talking about Li Chengliang?" I have decreed that he should be canonized as the deputy commander-in-chief of Liaodong and assist in guarding Liaoyang, but as for his two sons, they have no merit. ”

"Your Majesty, Li Chengliang's righteous son Xu Ling'er, assisted Qi Jiguang in breaking the Japanese in Pinghaiwei, and Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou, and Liu Xian jointly asked for ......merit for him."

Before Zhu Xizhong finished speaking, Emperor Jiajing waved his hand and replied, "You can do it yourself." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thanksgiving! ”

Just as Zhu Xizhong was about to get up to leave, he overheard Emperor Jiajing say:

"Chengguo Gong, although the Japanese on the southeast coast have been wiped out now, I heard that there are still many pirates entrenched in Japan, and they will collude with the Japanese pirates in the future and scourge my Ming coast, so you can think of a way to go overseas to wipe out this gang of pirates."

Zhu Xizhong turned around and kowtowed again, and replied, "The ministers are grateful!" ”

At this time, Xu Ling'er, who had returned from Jiangxi, was full of worries, and he did not leave the door of the inn for several days.

Rong'er came back from cooking for her, and met Li Rusong outside the door of the guest room, only to see that his face was flushed, he lowered his head to avoid himself, turned around and ran away.

Putting the meal on the square table in the guest room, Rong'er took advantage of Ling'er's inattention, hugged it tightly, and whispered: "Sister, you don't have to hide it from me, in fact, I already know that you are the reincarnation of Mulan." ”

Xu Ling'er lowered her head and said nothing, letting Rong'er hold herself......

"Sister, let me tell you something first, Master Li accepted Su'er yesterday, and it's good for Su'er." When she said this, Rong'er let go of her and asked, "Sister, have you heard the story of the matchmaker?" ”

"Damn." Ling'er suddenly became very shy.

"Sister, if you hear someone sing tonight: 'The moonlight dissolves in the night, the flowers are lonely in the spring, how to be in the bright light, and you don't see the people in the moon', I will teach you, you will sing a duet: 'The boudoir has been lonely for a long time, and there is nothing to do in the spring, and those who are expected to chant should be pity and sigh'. At this time, I will quickly take the red line and pull you over to be your matchmaker, hehe......" said, Rong'er laughed mischievously.

"Dead girl, don't talk nonsense."

"Sister, in my life, I just want to be a girl by your side, I can guess what is on your mind, you take me to test whether people are married, isn't it? Hehe. ”

Seeing that she lowered her head in shame, Rong'er was silent for a moment, and then continued: "If that person wins the top prize in the examination and dares to be 'Chen Shimei', Rong'er will go to find Lord Bao to sue for you, if we don't have a clean official like Lord Bao, I will risk my life to break into the Jinluan Palace, and find the Long Live Lord to sue the royal court, hum, see if he still dares!" ”

"Silly girl, look at what you said."

"Hehe, of course, I don't think Li Rusong is Chen Shimei, it's time to open a martial arts field soon, just now in the courtyard, I saw him practicing hard to practice the Ryukyu players you taught him."

"Sister, you know what? I'm worried about my father, and now he was taken to Japan by the bandits, but these days are just in time for the holy decree of Lord Li's reinstatement, and Rusong is also preparing to participate in the martial arts, they are all very busy, I don't know how to say to Lord Li and Rusong, so I closed the door, and my heart is about to die, what should I do? The more Ling'er spoke, the more anxious she became, and tears couldn't help but flow out.

Rong'er comforted: "Sister, what is on your mind, I don't have to guess to know, a few days ago, when Lord Lu took you to Jiangxi, the two dead eunuchs came, and Lord Li gave them all those beads. Now, we might as well ask Master Li for help, send some brocade guards to protect us, and let's go to Japan to find our father together. ”

Sighing deeply, Xu Ling'er replied, "Actually, I can go alone." ”

"That's good! Sister, take Li Rubai again, let's go together. I won't tell you the truth, in the past few days that you and Lord Lu have been in Jiangxi, Rubai has come to play with me every day, and we are not children anymore, so we will definitely be able to help. ”

At this time, Xu Ling'er smiled noncommittally and sat down at the square table to eat.

Rong'er thought that she acquiesced to her proposal, so she went out to find Li Rubai, and the two avoided Li Rusong and whispered.

Li Chengliang, who came back from his errands, asked loudly as soon as he entered the door: "Why don't you see Ling'er these days?" ”

Li Rusong heard that his father was back, and hurriedly walked out of his guest room.

"Is Ling'er sick?" Li Chengliang asked.

Seeing this scene, Rong'er and Li Rubai hid aside in a panic, while Li Rusong replied in a low voice with a red face: "It shouldn't be a big deal." ”

"You don't have to hide it from me." Li Chengliang said, and asked loudly at Rong'er, who hadn't gone far, "Rong'er, is your brother sick?" ”

Li Rubai gave Rong'er a look, signaled her not to be silent, and hurriedly replied: "Ling'er Gongzi is more boring these days, tomorrow, Rong'er and I will accompany him to go outside for a walk." ”

Li Chengliang nodded and said: "Rusong, now that Yan Shifan has fallen, Luo Wenlong has surrendered to the law, I think Ling'er is worried about his father." Today I heard that the old prince of Chengguo is about to send Jinyiwei to Japan to suppress the Kou, you might as well accompany Ling'er and follow Jinyiwei to Japan to see if you can bring his old father back, and let their father and son live in Liaodong in the future. ”

The panicked Li Rusong shouted helplessly: "Father! ”

"Do you have any questions?" Li Chengliang asked with some dissatisfaction.

At this moment, Lu Yunlong came, and as soon as he entered the door, he said loudly: "Lord Li, Lu has come to say good news to you." ”

As if he had seen a savior, Li Rusong hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down to salute, and said, "Lord Lu came just in time, and my father wants to send me and Ling'er to follow you to Japan on an errand. ”

Lu Yunlong smiled mysteriously and replied, "Okay! That's what I'm here for. ”

"This, this, how?" Li Rusong stomped his feet angrily, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in Lu Yunlong's gourd.

Li Chengliang was angry, pointed at Rusong and scolded: "Ignorant things, go and find Ling'er, we can't stand him, we have to find a way to save his father no matter what!" ”

"Father, I, I ......" Li Rusong, who stammered, didn't know how to answer.

Lu Yunlong glanced at him before he asked, "Rusong, how about listening to my arrangement?" ”

Finding that Li Rusong was still grinding, Li Chengliang was furious and scolded: "Bastard thing! Did you offend Ling'er? With that, he strode straight to Ling'er's guest room.

Li Chengliang came to Ling'er's guest room, and Li Rusong, who was red-faced and red-eared, followed him, looking extremely nervous.

At this time, Lu Yunlong caught up with Li Rusong and whispered to him, Li Rusong suddenly brightened up and nodded incessantly.

Li Chengliang knocked on the door for a long time before Xu Linger opened the door.

As soon as they met, Li Chengliang asked impatiently: "My son, you tell the truth to your father, is Rusong rude to you?" If so, see me break his legs and break the relationship between father and son! My son, since you and Rusong came back from Jiangxi, our father and son have only met once, it is for the father's right, if you are unwell, wait for me to find Lang Zhong to take a look? ”

After hearing these words, Xu Ling'er thought that he already knew that he was his daughter, and suddenly his face was red with shame, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground and replied in a low voice: "Lord Li, it's not good to be a slave, hide your identity, and ask Lord Li for forgiveness!" ”

Li Chengliang was shocked, hurriedly took two steps back, and asked, "My son, what are you talking about?" ”

At this time, Rong'er hurriedly rushed to Li Chengliang and explained: "Lord Li, my sister has been walking the rivers and lakes in Japan with her father, so she has been raised as a boy since she was a child, not to deceive Lord Li, but also to ask Lord Li for forgiveness. As he spoke, he also knelt down with Ling'er.

Li Chengliang hesitated for a moment, looked back, and saw Li Rusong, whose face was flushed, standing behind him with his head down, as if he was giving Ling'er a look.

Xu Ling'er raised her head slightly, and caught a glimpse of Li Rusong who looked like a big rooster, and both of them suddenly seemed to be electrocuted.

Li Chengliang understood, and said with a smile: "You have all reached the age of talking about marriage, and when Ling'er's father comes back, I will discuss with Xu Langzhong, and the two families will become good for Qin and Jin." ”

"Master Li, my sister and Rusong Gongzi have already worshiped heaven and earth!"

Xu Ling'er hurriedly said: "Rong'er, don't be rude!" ”

Finding that Li Chengliang was still nodding his head and pondering for a moment, Xu Ling'er said: "The slave was born in a barbarian land and grew up in a country house, so I really don't dare to climb high, and I hope that Lord Li will forgive her sins." ”

Li Chengliang helped the two of them up, and replied with a smile: "Don't say that, although Chengliang is a general, that is, a student who has been poor and depressed for decades, if it weren't for the blessing of Ling'er, how could there be today?" Hehe, my son, for my father, I can see that you are a knowledgeable person, which is really the great luck of my Li family. ”

Suddenly, Lu Yunlong stepped forward and shouted loudly: "Xu Ling'er and Li Rusong listen to the order. ”

The word "listen to the order" made Xu Ling'er shudder, Li Chengliang was also taken aback, and hurriedly flashed aside, Rong'er also moved to the side, at this time, Li Rusong came over and stood beside Xu Ling'er.

At this time, I saw Lu Yunlong holding a yellow watch in his hand, unhurriedly transported his confidence, and said loudly: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: the common people Li Rusong, Xu Ling'er, arrested the traitor Luo Wenlong, and made meritorious deeds. The emperor's grace is vast, Li Rusong and Xu Ling'er are grateful. ”

I never dreamed that the holy decree would come to my head, and I was named a seventh-grade captain, Xu Ling'er suddenly became dumbfounded, and at this time, I suddenly heard Li Rusong persuade in a low voice: "Ling'er, thank you quickly." ”

After the two thanked the emperor, Lu Yunlong said: "The old prince of Chengguo asked for a reward for you in front of the saint, and got the permission of grace, you will be the captain of the Flying Fish Camp in the future, come, come, come, I will set up a banquet today to celebrate the merits of the two." ”

"Thanks to Lord Lu and the old prince's recommendation, Cheng Liang is grateful!" Because he felt that this holy decree came too suddenly, Li Chengliang said and pulled Lu Yunlong aside.

The two returned to the guest room, and Lu Yunlong told him in detail about a brilliant plan.

Li Chengliang was taken aback when he heard this, and asked, "Is this the meaning of the old prince of Chengguo?" ”

"Yes, it is the arrangement of the old prince, if it weren't for that, I'm afraid it would be difficult to save Doctor Xu."

Because he didn't know how Xu Ling'er planned it, Li Chengliang was not very satisfied with this plan, and sighed and said: "That also depends on whether Ling'er is willing or not, but not reluctantly." ”

At this time, Xu Ling'er's cry came from outside, and then someone was heard knocking on the door.

opened the door, Li Rusong walked in with her, and said loudly: "Lord Lu, please forgive me for not being able to receive the order." ”

Then, I heard Xu Linger crying and preaching: "Thank you, Lord Lu!" Please report to the old prince of Chengguo, the grass people really dare not accept such a high official position, and Lord Wanglu forgives ......"

"Why are you doing that?" Lu Yunlong asked.

"The grass people still have unfinished business to do, and now they have to go to Japan to find my father......"

Before Xu Ling'er finished speaking, Lu Yunlong smiled slightly and said loudly: "Xu Ling'er, the captain of the Flying Fish Battalion, listens to the order, the way of man, and filial piety comes first. Xu Yihou, as my great Ming doctor, is now living overseas, and he has sent you overseas to find your father, which is a great achievement, and when you find your father, you will be rewarded for your merit and seal thousands of households, so arranged, you are satisfied? ”

"Ling'er, Rusong, Lord Lu has thought very well for you, please don't shirk it anymore." Li Chengliang persuaded.

Now, Xu Ling'er and Li Rusong didn't have anything to say, the two glanced at each other, and replied in unison: "Lord Xie Lu!" ”

So, Li Chengliang smiled and praised loudly: "Okay! Ling'er, your filial piety can be learned from heaven and earth, and God is moved by it. For my father, I will help you arrange the itinerary, Rusong is very familiar with Liaodong, you go to Korea through Liaodong first, and then cross the sea to Japan, which will be safer. ”
