That night, Yan Hong and the others snored loudly and slept until three o'clock in the morning. Yan Hong rubbed his sleepy eyes, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and when he looked down, Hu Baiqi's fat hands actually hugged his waist, and he moved dishonestly from time to time. Yan Hong suddenly felt nauseous, and with great effort, he kicked the fat man out of bed. Hu Baiqi rolled under the bed with a plop, only then did he smash his mouth a few times and wake up, lying on his stomach to prop up half of his body, his eyes slightly closed, and muttering: "Cui'er, don't make trouble, don't make trouble." ”

Yan Hong kicked him in the ass: "Brother Hu, you are in the guest room of my Yan Mansion, but there is nothing Cui'er Hong'er." ”

Hu Baiqi became agitated and hurriedly shouted: "Oh, it's me who is confused, and I collided with Yan Xiaoxianggong, a capital crime." Looking at Jiang Zhou and Chen Keyuan again, they have also woken up and finished dressing.

Yan Hong immediately beckoned the servants outside to come in, instructed the kitchen to prepare breakfast, entertained Hu Baiqi and the other three after breakfast, and sent them out, telling them to stay at the inn first, and if there were other affairs, they would take care of it. When I turned around and had news from my side, I notified the past. Hu Baiqi and others thanked and said goodbye.

Subsequently, Yan Hong went to Guozijian. At this moment, it is already the middle of the day, and it is estimated that the teacher Zhang Juzheng should go to work. When he came back from Xuanda this time, he also made a special trip to visit Zhang Juzheng once and gave him two fur furs, which Zhang Juzheng was disrespectful. After that, the master and apprentice also chatted a few words, and Zhang Juzheng asked about the border defense situation of Xuanda again, but they did not have an in-depth conversation with each other. After that, Yan Hong was busy with his official business, and he had no time to visit.

The first time Yan Hong went to Guozijian was more than two years ago. At that time, he was because he broke the Andingmen murder case, and he was arched in order to "repay". I reluctantly dragged him into the country to study. Fortunately, Zhang Ju was looking after him inside. It's easy to get out of prison. Now go this time. But it is to recommend others to prison, which can be described as a matter of right and wrong, which is emotional. He is already a Jinyi guard at the moment, and he also added Shang Baosi Shaoqing, with a different identity, and entered the gate of the Guozijian, and the door hurriedly flew to report the sacrificial wine Zhang Juzheng. After a while, I asked Yan to meet in the living room.

Yan Hong entered the living room. Seeing that the teacher Zhang Juzheng's demeanor was still the same, with a smile on his face, he got up to greet him: "Yan Xiaoxianggong, don't come to harm?" ”

Yan Hong hurriedly bowed his hand: "Because of the busy affairs at home and in the Jinyi Guard, I have not come to see my teacher for many days. ”

Zhang Juzheng said with a smile: "The family is busy, that's how it should be." Speaking of which, I would like to congratulate you as a teacher. ”

Yan Hong knew that what Zhang Juzheng said must be to marry Xu Ge's old granddaughter. This matter is not so much a Yanfu as it is a little embarrassing, so he doesn't talk about it. He only said, "Teacher, I came this time." But it is to recommend two people to study in the country. I don't know if my mentor Kenn is allowed to do so. ”

Zhang Juzheng's sword eyebrows raised slightly: "I don't know who the little minister wants to recommend?" ”

Yan Hong didn't go around in circles, so he told the origins of Jiang Zhou and Chen Keyuan, and finally said: "The student thinks that although these two people are famous, they have made such great contributions to the stability of Jiangnan for the country. If you can enter the country to study and study, you will definitely be able to achieve a career in the future. Even this follow-up opening of the sea also has a place where they can be used. ”

Zhang Juzheng is such a smart person, how can he not hear that Yan Hong is preparing to train these two people as the backbone of Kaihai, and entering the national prison is just a gilded process, in order to have a further role after being released from prison. This move is quite consistent with his own ideas, not to mention that literati such as Jiang Zhou and Chen Keyuan who can do practical things are also quite valuable in Zhang Juzheng's view. Immediately, Uncle Zhang smiled slightly, and only said: "This matter is wrapped up in the teacher, you tell them to come back and go to prison." ”

Yan Hong was overjoyed, thanked Zhang Juzheng, and chatted with Zhang Juzheng for a few words. Seeing that it was not early, Zhang Juzheng suddenly said: "Yan Xiaoxianggong, the concubine Xu you want to accept in March, but her grandfather is my mentor Xu Gelao." But don't bully her, lest my mentor look bad. ”

Yan Hong hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the elder Xu Ge is a veteran of the imperial court, and even my grandfather respects me very much, he loves me very much, and he marries me with his granddaughter, how can I live up to it?" When the time comes, I will invite Mr. Zhang to have a glass of wine. ”

Nishikawa. In Suigetsu-an.

Ranked among the "Four Masters of Decency", Master Pure Compassion sits on a futon. She was tall and powerful, and although she was over fifty years old, she looked to be in her early forties, and her face was almost wrinkled. The facial features are soft, the eyebrows are kind, and at first glance, people look just a bodhisattva-hearted Dao Gaoni, who looks like the leader of the martial arts in western Sichuan. It's only the occasional burst of light in his eyes that produces a terrifying deterrent effect.

At this moment, Master Jingci's chest was rising and falling, but he couldn't help but be a little angry.

"What you say is true? The brocade guard...... To give such an order? ”

In front of her, kneeling was her disciple Zhou Hongyin:

"In front of the master, the disciples dare not tell lies. Lin Fei, the prime minister of my family, is the chief flag officer of the Jinyi Wei Chengdu Thousand Households, and he is dedicated to performing some confidential tasks. He went to Baihu a few days ago, and when he came back, he looked a little strange at me, and asked me if I had a senior sister named Xia Zisu? I asked him what was wrong, and he rammed again. It was I who designed to get him drunk with wine and tell some truth. It is said that now Beijing has issued a secret order, and a woman in her early twenties is being strictly searched for by Jinyi guards everywhere, saying that she is strong in martial arts and has an extremely beautiful appearance, so that she can wear purple clothes. I'm thinking, this ...... Isn't that what I mean? ”

This week, Hongyin is the third disciple of Shuiyue Nunnery Jingci Shitai, but his age is slightly older than Xia Zisu, but he started late, and his martial arts are far inferior to Xia Zisu. Fortunately, he was a little beautiful, and married a local military attache Lin Fei two years ago. This is a mutual affection between the two, and I told the master that the Ming media is marrying, so Shuiyuean is not in the way. Now, she uses this identity to hear the news. After all, he remembered the kindness of his master in his heart, so he rushed to report the news overnight.

When Master Jingci heard this, his eyebrows were raised, and his left hand was gently patted in front of the case: "Jinyi Wei searched for my disciples? Why? ”

Zhou Hongyin slurred again: "It's just that there is another one." According to Lin Fei, this woman is likely to ...... Probably pregnant. I think, Senior Sister Xia Bingqing Yujie, Yun Ying is unmarried, and she is extremely arrogant, how can she be pregnant? Therefore, whether it is her or not, the disciple is really not sure. ”

When Master Jingci heard this, her heart moved again. Since Zhou Hongyin married Lin Fei, the general banner of Jinyiwei, she was at ease as her little military attaché's wife, and she never cared about the rumors in the rivers and lakes, so she felt unbelievable when she heard that Xia Zisu was pregnant. And Master Jingci, as the leader of the rivers and lakes, is not a black eye. Although you can't open God's vision like some martial arts novels and grasp the trivial matters on the rivers and lakes at any time, you still have your own information channels for some things related to your own sect. Zhou Hongyin's words were vague to herself, but to Master Jingci's ears, they confirmed each other.

The most outstanding pair of apprentices under the Jingci Shitaimen, Xia Zisu and Zhang Qingyan combined their swords, roamed the rivers and lakes, and established the names of "Purple-clothed Chang'e" and "Green Shirt Dragon Girl", and even joined the Loyalty and Righteousness League, taking Kuang Ming as her own responsibility, she knew about it. The only thing I am worried about is that my pair of precious apprentices should not get too close to Shao Jing, the leader of the Loyal and Righteous Alliance. Shao Jing already has a beloved wife, Long Xueyin, and he has sworn that it is not easy for his wife not to take concubines, if these two girls are not sensible and get involved, no matter what the result is, it will not be good for the reputation of Shuiyue'an. Since then, the Loyal and Righteous League has assisted the officers and soldiers in Shandong, smashed the White Lotus Sect, and spread the feat of the twelve provinces, and the Jingci Master has also heard of it. At this time, her two apprentices had already left the school, and as a master, she didn't have to interfere in everything, not to mention that this act of loyalty and righteousness was also glorified by the master.

It's just that after that, Zhang Qingyan and Xia Zisu's actions became quite inexplicable. The last letter received from Xia Zisu was sent by Xia Zisu in the winter of the 36th year of Jiajing, roughly after the siege of Jinan was lifted, in which Xia Zisu said that Zhang Qingyan would follow Yan Hong to Beijing, get rid of a traitor, and avenge her family's revenge. Master Jingci also knew that Zhang Qingyan's uncle Zhang Jing died at the hands of Zhao Wenhua. In the thirty-seventh year of Jiajing, the news of Zhao Wenhua's inexplicable whimpering and mourning also reached Xichuan, and Master Jingci knew that most of this high-level revenge had been avenged. After that, in the winter of the 37th year of Jiajing, she received a letter from Zhang Qingyan from Beijing, saying that because Yan Hong helped her avenge the family, she had no way to repay it, so she could only marry Yan Hong as a concubine. After reading this letter, the angry Jingci Master was very depressed for a while, after all, his apprentice and others are concubines, and this matter is not very good in the rivers and lakes, especially since the other party is still the grandson of the famous traitor Yan Song. But thinking about it again, although Yan Song is a traitor, after all, he is the first assistant of the country, and Yan Hong himself has made some contributions to the table in the past two years, this marriage is still more beneficial than disadvantageous for Shuiyue Nunnery, and Yan Hong's removal of Zhao Wenhua is quite reasonable. Thinking of this, Master Jingci was also relieved.

However, the more proud apprentice Xia Zisu made Master Jingci very worried. Because this senior disciple with strong martial arts has not received any letters for more than a year since he wrote to Zhang Qingyan's actions. However, Zeng Shifang of the Yandang faction sent a letter from the head of the house, saying that he was instructed by the Xia Fairy to convey the order of the master and cooperate with the Qin Dispatch Yan Hong to fight the Japanese in the southeast and cut off hundreds of Japanese heads.

In addition, his junior sister Jingxin Shitai also wrote a letter, saying that Xia Zisu was pregnant, but she refused to say who it was, and she asked if it was Shao Jing's, and she replied no. When Mrs. Jingci received a letter from her sister, she was so shocked that she almost turned half of her life into ashes. I wanted to ask Shao Jing and the others in person, but I was afraid that I would talk about it indiscriminately and make it known to everyone in the world. At that time, there was no phone or QQ, so it was very troublesome to ask about something. Mrs. Jingci had no choice but to write a letter to Mrs. Jingxin and asked her to quickly call Xia Zisu back to Shuiyue Nunnery. As a result, Master Pure Heart replied, saying that Xia Zisu had gone north with Shao Jing and others, but on the other hand, the news was that Shenjiazhuang in Baoan Prefecture had been baptized in blood, and several people from the Zhongyi League had died. This lot of news came in scattered places, and it really made the teacher who loved his disciples too anxious. (To be continued......)
