"Why did Master Duan ask me to come here?" Li Hua turned around with a smile and asked.

Duan Fei said indifferently: "Why did you call you to come to know yourself, you are not being followed, right?" ”

Li Hua still said in a happy voice: "How can it, except for Jinyiwei, the most eyeliner in the capital is Dongchang, and now these two are in the hands of you and me, we have to meet, who else in the world can follow?" ”

Duan Fei said: "That's right, since you're already here, let's make it clear, although it stands to reason that I should call you a senior brother, but the master has never officially listed you in the door wall, so I am the disciple of the master, you should call me a senior brother, but I don't want to take advantage of you, let's talk about the humbleness with martial arts, I met the master a year ago, thanks to his old man who taught me for three days, you shouldn't say that I bully the big with the small, right?" ”

Li Hua showed a trace of resentment in his eyes, and he said: "You are really frank enough, although I started early, but as a disciple of the house, you must have gained more benefits from the master, so it can barely be regarded as a draw, since this is the case, then I will try your ability to see if you are qualified to press on my head!" ”

Li Hua's hand touched his waist, and Mu Ran shook out a long mud-colored whip, with a hideous-looking golden pixiu hanging on the head of the whip, and pounced towards Duan Fei with teeth and claws.

Li Hua has been in the palace all the year round, there is no way to hide any sharp weapons on his body, the soft whip is the best choice, this whip was given to him by Wang Shouren at the beginning, although it is not an artifact, Li Hua has been practicing for many years, but he has also practiced it to the core.

Duan Fei saw the whip flying head-on, and finally the whip tip shook, and the Pixiu turned out from behind the whip, which was the strongest move in the whip method taught to Li Hua by Wang Shouren, Duan Fei saw the momentum and turned his head to let Pixiu pass, and then reached out and grabbed the whip like lightning, Li Hua was shocked, he didn't expect to miss it before he made a move, he hurriedly grabbed the whip and snatched it back, the whip was tight, and the two began to fight internally.

Li Hua's kung fu cultivation is not weaker than Haotian Divine Skill, but he nests in the palace all day long to operate a spatula, worrying about intrigue, although he has practiced for a few more years, but no one is there to supervise and guide, the skill enters the realm is much slower Duan Fei, the two of them only felt a little irresistible when they contacted Li Hua, his expression changed, his face flashed with golden light, his expression was clear, and his internal force suddenly became stronger by three percent, but unfortunately it only lasted less than three seconds, his face suddenly turned purple red, and his eyes opened angrily, as if he was about to drip blood.

Duan Fei suddenly let go of his hand, his figure rushed forward, Li Hua staggered back two steps, only to see Duan Fei quickly catch up, a palm slashed at his heart, he was powerless to resist, so he had to lament and close his eyes and wait for death.

Li Hua opened his eyes in surprise, only to see Duan Fei standing in front of him, one palm on the Yufu acupoint under his right shoulder, and the other hand clasped to the Baihui acupoint above his head, and shouted: "Run the magic power to start Shaoyin, go straight to the Baihui supernatural power, if you want to live, follow my guidance!" ”

Li Hua's heart froze, only to feel that Duan Fei input a strong internal force from the Yufu acupoint, and rushed straight down along the Zu Shao Yin Kidney Meridian, the Zu Shao Yin Kidney Meridian is the main route of Li Hua's internal strength, he subconsciously followed the exercise, only to see Duan Fei's internal force come to the Yongquan point on the sole of his feet, suddenly don't take a strange path and turn into the foot and yin and liver meridians to divert upward, Li Hua only felt that the soles of his feet were hot, and his whole body suddenly felt completely different from the past.

His internal force followed the Yin and Liver meridians of the foot and entered the Du Pulse after reaching the Baihui acupoint, and everything fell into place.

When he opened his eyes, Duan Fei asked, "How do you feel?" ”

Li Hua snorted and said, "I only feel that the master is too partial. ”

Duan Fei smiled: "That's none of my business, I just want to ask you, have you taken it?" ”

Li Hua frowned and thought for a while, and replied, "What if you take it?" Can you believe my words? ”

Duan Fei said: "Believe it or not, it's my business, you just need to give me an answer." ”

Li Hua smiled bitterly: "It's really unfair, I don't have a chance at all, that damn old man...... Okay, your skills are much higher than mine, your strength is stronger than mine, and you have solved the problems in cultivation for me, I can be regarded as obedient to you, according to the rules, the strong are respected, senior brother, please accept my worship! ”

Li Hua knelt down on his knees and kowtowed heavily to Duan Fei three times, Duan Fei leaned over and helped him up with both hands, and said: "Senior brother, please get up, we will be a family in the future, senior brother will take good care of you, you must also help senior brother from time to time, benefit the people, enrich the country and strengthen the army, and let the Ming dynasty survive forever!" ”

Li Hua said suspiciously: "Senior brother, do you really think so?" ”

Duan Fei asked rhetorically, "What do you think I'm going to do?" Usurpation and rebellion? ”

Li Hua sneered and said, "Since Senior Brother Zhi is not here, then Senior Brother will let me talk nonsense, Senior Brother, what are you going to let me do?" ”

Duan Fei said: "What I want you to do is exactly the same as what I asked Guo Zhen to do at the beginning, on the surface, we will be-for-tat, and then we will join forces to act in a play at a critical time, and I will guide you at that time." ”

Li Hua said: "I understand, since this is the case, then I will find some trouble for my senior brother from time to time and wait for my senior brother's instructions." ”

Duan Fei said: "Yes, that's what I want you to do, today Zhang Rui tried to recruit you, you might as well take refuge in him." ”

Li Hua smiled and said: "Senior brother underestimates me too much, Zhang Rui is just a puppet in my eyes, senior brother wait and see, I will build Dongchang into a force that is not inferior to Jinyiwei, when the time comes, don't blame me for challenging senior brother again!" ”

Duan Fei said: "You can try, but I won't deliberately give you a chance." ”

Li Hua looked up to the sky and laughed silently for a while, he suddenly lowered his head and asked faintly, "Senior brother, do you really trust me so much?" Aren't you afraid that my honey-bellied sword will give you yin? ”

Duan Fei said: "Don't be suspicious of people, I believe that you are a talent, and you will never use that kind of dirty means to defeat me." ”

Li Hua glanced at him deeply, bowed his head and said, "I understand, no wonder Senior Brother, you suddenly rose, no one in the dynasty is your opponent...... You have to be careful, in the future, Dongchang will become a fierce rival of Jinyiwei! If the senior brother has no other instructions, I will leave! ”

Duan Fei bowed his head, Li Hua bowed his hand to him, took two steps back, turned around and took off, and disappeared in a blink of an eye, this kid's light skills are well practiced.

Just when the personnel changes in the DPRK and China were busy, the people who had been busy for a year finally relaxed, and everyone began to be busy with the New Year!

At the beginning Chinese New Year's Eve of the new year, Zhengde worshiped God and ancestors as usual, and after worshipping his mother, he convened a gathering of civil and military officials to celebrate the New Year, and everything returned to normal after the New Year.

On the morning of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Duan Fei participated in the court meeting to deliver the holy decree, and submitted a detailed list of his income from the house to Zhengde, and the figure reported was that the income from the house was valued at about 530,000 taels of silver together with the house deed. Dongchang still owes Jinyiwei millions of taels of money to buy cannons.

At the beginning of the New Year, Zhengde yawned on the dragon seat, and he shouted: "Okay, don't quarrel, Guo Zhen is confused, but he is also dedicated to the country, I am very pleased, if you can learn a little in this regard, I don't have to worry so much, Qian Qingjia, how is Guo Zhen's case?" ”

Qian Rujing said: "Back to the saint, the ministers and other three divisions will be tried, Guo Zhen confessed as many as he said, as Lord Duan said, although Guo Zhen raised taxes privately, which made the people of Jiangnan miserable, but it was also to support the huge expenses for the construction of the navy, and he did not fill his own pockets. ”

Zhengde sighed: "It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, it seems that Guo Zhen is helpless to do such a thing...... Send him to the Imperial Tomb to guard the tomb. ”

Guo Zhen's matter was over, and Duan Fei came out again: "Your Majesty, Wechen's family has been full of people recently, and many people have sent gifts to Wechen for some reason, but Wechen can't get it, so he has to accept it all, and plan to sell it all for silver and donate it to the treasury. ”

Zhengde smiled: "How much silver can a mere gift be sold for?" Why don't you keep it for yourself? It's a reward for you. ”

Duan Fei said: "Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't dare, thousands of miles of mention collapsed in the anthill, no matter how much the gift is, Weichen doesn't dare to accept it easily, otherwise it will be difficult to ensure when the harvest becomes a habit, and then it will be troublesome, not to mention that this batch of things is worth a lot of money, if it is sold well, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver will be in hand." ”

Zhengde was surprised: "So many? Who sent them? Can Aiqing make a list? ”

Duan Fei said: "Your Majesty, Wechen didn't record their names, Wechen thinks they are all first-time offenders, it's better to give them a chance to reform, if someone gives a gift to Weichen's mansion in the future, Wechen will directly arrest him and hand him over to the emperor." ”

Zhengde snorted and said: "Okay, just spare them once, you Aiqing should take Duan Aiqing as an example, whoever dares to accept bribes, once it is found out, it will not be spared!" ”

Everyone was muttering to themselves in their hearts, but they replied in unison: "The ministers don't dare!" ”

At the end of the court, Zhengde took Duan Fei back to the leopard room, the two quickly changed into civilian clothes, and under the protection of several Taurus guards who had changed their costumes, they walked out, but they met Guo Xun, the Marquis of Wuding, who was also wearing civilian clothes, Zhengde said hello, and Guo Xun also followed out of the leopard room.

Guo Xun said to Duan Fei with a hippie smile: "Lord Duan, I am fortunate to have a good meeting, my surname is Guo, known as Guo Laosan, I heard that the Business Alliance Conference will be held in the capital, and I usually do some small business, I want to go to meet and see in person, fortunately Boss Zhu invited, I am not invited, and I ask Lord Duan to forgive me!" ”
