Yang Qiuchi explained in detail the reason why he came to Qingyang Mansion to ask Yang Tashan to return to the capital.

Listening to his father's words, Yang Tashan was in a very complicated mood, and he didn't know whether to be happy or sad. However, there is a sense of relaxation, a feeling of being in the air.

Yang Tashan left the post station and came to the Yamen to find Cheng Ziqin, she was not there, and when she inquired, she said that she was not feeling well, and she asked for leave today.

Yang Tashan had already vaguely guessed why Cheng Ziqin was sick, and went straight to Cheng Ziqin's residence behind the fast catching class.

Yang Tashan remembered that day when it rained, and the two of them were talking in this room, a tenderness rose in his heart, and he raised his hand and patted the door gently, but no one answered. patted again, and then heard Cheng Ziqin's lazy voice: "Who?" ”

"Ziqin, it's me! Stepping on the mountain."

"Ah~!" There was a low cry from inside, but there was a hint of joy in the voice, "You wait! After a while, the door opened, and Cheng Ziqin stood at the door with a faint expression: "Come in."

Yang Tashan stepped into the door, saw that the quilt on the kang was still piled up in a mess, turned his head, and looked at Cheng Ziqin's face: "What's wrong?" Sick? ”

"I don't ......, I'm not comfortable, I don't want to go to work."

"You're the head catcher, if you don't go, what should the brothers do?"

"Isn't there still you?" Cheng Ziqin walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, and arranged the sheets casually.

"Me? I'm here to tell you that tomorrow I'm going back to the capital with my father." Yang Tashan sat down on a stool next to the round table.

"Oh......" Cheng Ziqin's body shook slightly, his expression changed slightly, and then he regained his composure, "Are you here to say goodbye to me?" ”

"Yes, we were both born and died. I have fought to the death together among the thousands of Tatar soldiers, and I am like brothers, how can I leave without saying a word to you."

Cheng Ziqin lowered her head, her long eyelashes fluttered, and finally, a crystal tear slowly rolled down, and she hurriedly turned to one side and raised her sleeve to wipe away the tears.

Yang Tashan stood up and walked to Cheng Ziqin's side. sat down next to her and stretched out his hands to support her shoulders: "Ziqin, come with me, okay?" ”

Cheng Ziqin's body trembled slightly, and he raised his teary eyes to look at Yang Tashan: "What did you say?" ”

"Come with me," Yang Tashan said firmly and eagerly, "marry me, be my wife, okay?" ”

Joy flashed in Cheng Ziqin's eyes. trembling voice: "You...... What did you say......? ”

Yang Tashan said: "Ziqin, in fact, I have long liked you, but you are always so rejecting people thousands of miles away, I ...... I don't dare to tell you, and I know that you actually like me too, right? ”

Cheng Ziqin twisted his body, lowered his head, and said shyly: "Who ...... Who likes you~! ”

Yang Tashan hugged her into his arms: "That day in the Tatar surrounding. You said that you were satisfied, and you were satisfied that you could die with me, and at that time, I knew that you actually liked my land. Right? ”

Cheng Ziqin snuggled meekly in his arms, his heart was beating like a deer, and when he heard him talk about it, he was even more shy, his face rested on his shoulder, and he felt so down-to-earth.

Yang Tashan continued: "Ziqin, although you are lukewarm to me on weekdays, but what you say to me between life and death is what you really say, so. That's when I made up my mind that I would marry you in the future! ”

Cheng Ziqin snuggled in his arms, and her soft voice was a little desolate: "Are you ...... You are the commander of the land, I ...... I'm just a lowly catcher......"

Yang Tashan lowered his head and pressed against her soft and warm face: "I already told my father just now that I wanted to marry you, and my father has already agreed!" ”

"Really?" Cheng Ziqin said in a trembling voice, sat up straight, and looked at Yang Tashan in surprise.

Yang Tashan nodded and held her shoulders. Staring at her eyes, he asked softly, "Ziqin. Marry me, okay? ”

Cheng Ziqin shyly avoided his gaze, turned his face sideways, and nodded slightly after a while.

Yang was overjoyed, took her into his arms, kissed her face, neck, and finally, kissed her red lips.

Cheng Ziqin kissed back passionately, she had been waiting for this moment for a long time, feeling the warm kiss of her sweetheart, and tasting the happiness in her heart.

After a long time, the lips of the two parted.

Yang Tashan hugged Cheng Ziqin and said in a low voice: "Ziqin, there is one more thing I want to tell you."

"Well, you name it." Cheng Ziqin snuggled up to him and said in a soft voice.

"My father has resigned from his position as the commander of the Jinyi Guard."

"Oh? Why? Cheng Ziqin was a little surprised, and raised his head to look at Yang Tashan.

"My father said, now the power of Dongchang is getting bigger and bigger, and the emperor's dependence on Dongchang has faintly overshadowed the momentum of Jinyi Weidi, and the dry things in Dongchang are similar to those of the commander Ji Gang back then, they are all things with a black asshole with a clear conscience, do you remember the last time I visited the mysterious house where the pregnant woman was killed?"

Cheng Ziqin nodded.

"That's a good thing that Dongchang did!" Yang Tashan briefly explained the ins and outs of that incident.

Cheng Ziqin's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty...... How could the emperor do this! ”

"For the sake of immortality, no matter how harmful things are, the emperor can do it!" Yang Tashan said in a low voice, "So my father was very disheartened, and for the last time, he quarreled with the Dongchang factory, and was reprimanded by the emperor for the dragon case, saying that he didn't want to listen to my father's big truths, and he was obviously biased towards Dongchang."

Cheng Ziqin said: "I also heard that the East Factory is very powerful now, and it is said that Jinyiwei has to be polite when he sees them."

"Yes, my father is very sad, and when he came home and discussed with my grandmother, aunt, and my mother, I felt that Dongchang had the emperor as a backer, and he would definitely not be able to fight them. lest he be framed by Ji Gang at the beginning and be overthrown by Dongchang, it is better to resign now, fly away, and live a happy life."

Cheng Ziqin said: "Yes, the gentleman and the villain will always suffer. It's just that if you resign from the office, Dongchang and the emperor may not let it go."

"Yes, that's what we thought about when we discussed it. Fortunately, my father had always been friendly with Zheng Gonggong, the official eunuch and eunuch who had sent several missions to the West, and after discussing with Zheng Gonggong, my father decided to resign and go to the South Seas with Zheng Gonggong to find a place to live overseas."

Cheng Ziqin clapped his hands and said: "This is a good idea, as long as you leave the scope of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor and Dongchang will be at ease, and this can be truly safe."

"yes, so. My father went to court the next morning, so he asked the old man to return to his hometown, and asked to follow Zheng Gonggong to go overseas, travel all over the world, and choose a place to live. When the emperor heard this, he was overjoyed, and immediately gave my father some gold, silver and jewelry, and encouraged my father and Zheng He and Zheng Gonggong to set off for overseas missions. So, my mother they started selling their property. My father came to Qingyang Mansion to call me."

Speaking of this, Yang Tashan kissed Cheng Ziqin's red lips lightly: "Ziqin, are you willing to follow me to the sea and settle down at the ends of the earth?" ”

Cheng Ziqin kissed Yang Tashan back, and said shyly and firmly: "Marry you, I will be your lander. No matter where you go, I'll be with you! ”

"Great!" Yang Tashan hugged Cheng Ziqin tightly, and the two kissed deeply.

On the same day, the yamen of the prefect of Qingyang Prefecture put up a lantern to arrange a marriage for Yang Tashan and Cheng Ziqin, the eldest son of Yang Qiuchidi, the prince of Zhenguo, because Cheng Ziqin's parents died, and Zheng He's day to go to sea has been set, they are in a hurry to return to the capital, and this marriage is all simple.

Although it is simple, it is also very lively and grand. The Han prefect of Qingyang Mansion was a witness to the marriage, and people from all over and down Qingyang Mansion came with heads and faces, and the sound of gongs and drums and firecrackers was deafening.

Tian Nizi knew that Yang Tashan was going to return to the capital after they got married, she was happy and sad, and she tightly pulled Yang Tashan's hand on the wine table and shed tears.

Yang Tashan was also a little sad, he didn't know that Tian Nizi was infatuated with his land, but Tian Nizi was already a woman. And what can I do, it can only be a good memory.

The next day. The officials of the Han Governor's Mansion and the Qingyang Mansion, as well as the Yamen Catcher and a group of brothers and Tian Nizi, have been sending Yang Qiuchi, Yang Tashan, Cheng Ziqin and the maid Xing'er and other people to the Ten Mile Long Pavilion.

There was nothing to say all the way, and after more than ten days, I rushed back to the capital.

At this time, all the property of Yang's family has been disposed of. Mother Yang, Feng Xiaoxue, Liu Ruobing and others were all overjoyed when they saw Yang Tashan bring a beautiful new daughter-in-law back.

Cheng Ziqin kowtowed one by one, spoke very well-behaved, and won everyone's heart.

After Yang Qiuchi resigned last time and went into hiding, Song Yun'er of course also resigned, and Nangong Xiong, Xu Shiling, Shi Qiujian, and Xia Ping, the four friends of Yang Qiuchi's life and death, also resigned, and took a group of cronies who had followed Yang Qiuchi for many years, and swore to follow Yang Qiuchi to the sea and return to seclusion.

Yang Qiuchi was very moved and immediately agreed. Due to the large number of people who went to sea to retreat this time, they decided to build their own fleet. Emperor Zhu Zhanji thanked Yang Qiuchi for the elders of the three dynasties, retreated bravely, and issued a holy decree to allocate huge sums of money from the treasury and send skilled craftsmen to build a special fleet for the Yang family. In the two months that Yang Qiuchi went to Qingyang Mansion, the Yang family's fleet had been fully built and docked in Tianjin Weihai Port with Zheng Hedi's fleet.

There are hundreds of ships in the mission, of which the Yangjia ships account for almost half. Tall and powerful, with the approval of the emperor, a number of artillery pieces were also erected, and Nangong Xiong and his escort team were equipped with the most sophisticated weapons and the best helmsman. The Yang family fleet brought together the most advanced naval equipment technology of the Ming Dynasty at that time, and the Yang family's fleet was superior to the Zheng He fleet or other Ming navies.

At the time of departure, the emperor thanked Yang Qiuchi for his dedication to the Ming Dynasty, so he took Shuntianfu and Song Governor and other civil and military officials to Tianjin Weihai Port to see him off.

On the bow of the boat, Yang Qiuchi, Yang Mu, the original Feng Xiaoxue, the seven concubines Qin Zhihui, Song Qing, Liu Ruobing, Song Yuner, Hong Aya, Yunlu, Bai Sumei, as well as son Yang Tashan, daughter-in-law Cheng Ziqin, daughter Yang Wanxi, Yang Ruozi, maid Xing'er, Yuechan and others, waved goodbye to the group of people on the shore and sailed away.

This voyage was Zheng He's seventh mission to the West, and it was also the last, and Zheng He died of illness on the way back. After that, due to the attack and harassment of the Japanese invaders, the Ming Dynasty issued a ban on the sea from then on.

A few years later, there were rumors that in a certain place in Nanyang, there was a big family surnamed Yang, and the old man in the family solved the case like a god, and everyone in Nanyang knew about it. The men and women of the family are all strong in martial arts, especially the two women in the family, not only beautiful as flowers, but also high in martial arts, unrivaled, and widely recruited disciples in Nanyang, with a prominent reputation.

There are also rumors that the Yang family has a lot of money and a prosperous business, but they help the poor and make good connections.

There are also rumors that a young man of the Yang family, with a group of martial arts generals, piloted dozens of strong ships and cannons, often raided the pirates and pirates, rescued the robbed fishermen, and was called the living Bodhisattva.
