"Quick! He was instructed to go down to receive the two distinguished guests of Zhang Ge Lao and Zhang Guoshi with the highest courtesy in the army. After Qi Jiguang finished instructing the concierge, he carefully moved the shining blade with the thumb and index finger of his right hand, and smiled flatteringly at the Wang family: "Madam, the first assistant and the national teacher came to the door together, there must be something important to discuss, do you see it..."

The Wang family comes from a famous family, in the end, everyone is beautiful, knows the priorities, and the angry face is a little relieved and then said: "That's it, today..."

Before Wang finished speaking, a hearty and loud voice came to mind outside the door: "Brother Yuan Jingxian, you and I are even friends, why do you have to see each other like this, hey~~~!" ”

Yang Fan followed Zhang Juzheng into the main hall of Qi Jiguang's house, and saw a female general in silver armor holding a glaive knife on Qi Jiguang's neck.

This female general should be Qi Jiguang's legendary wife, and it is really very valuable to make national heroes who are not afraid of war and death so afraid. This female general is tall and burly, half a head taller than Qi Jiguang, and only wears a thin crimson satin coat under the armor, revealing the knife-like textured muscles on her dark and thick forearms, which makes people feel that there is explosive power hidden inside.

Over the years, he has followed Qi Jiguang to fight in the south and the north, so that the already not very beautiful Wang family has been weathered, with a pair of red phoenix eyes with deep crow's feet and ravines, coupled with dark skin, quite a yaksha.

"My wife and I have nothing to do and like to learn martial arts, and if we are rude, I hope that the two distinguished guests of Enxiang and the national teacher will forgive me." Qi Jiguang smiled awkwardly and laughed haha.

"The two of them are raising their eyebrows, the couple is deeply affectionate, how can I meet outside, this is my brother and sister, I have heard that my brother and sister are not allowed to have eyebrows, and when I see it today, it is better to meet if it is really famous, my brother and sister are indeed heroic and powerful." Clear-eyed people know at a glance that Qi Jiguang is being taught a lesson by his wife, smart people see through it and don't say it, top political fighter Zhang Juzheng's words not only resolved Qi Jiguang's embarrassment, but also pulled in the distance from Qi Jiguang and his wife, which shows that his skills are extraordinary.

"Wang Ying of the Nanxi Wang family of the Qi family has seen Enxiang, En's relative to the Qi family is higher than the sky, and the sea is deeper, once there is an order, my wife will not dare to disobey." Wang Ying said on her own.

Zhang Juzheng was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but look at Qi Jiguang who was standing aside with a relieved face, Qi Jiguang had no choice but to laugh awkwardly: "Qi Qi Xiang, my wife's words are my intentions." ”

"Yuan Jing, this is not an outsider, so you don't need to call me by kindness, I feel twisted when I hear it, you can call me what you want in private, as for my younger brother and sister, I will be the eldest brother, and my younger brother and sister can call me brother, I don't know what my brother and sister think?" Zhang Juzheng said heartily to the husband and wife.

"This..."Qi Jiguang is still hesitating, the reason is that the current Ming Dynasty is noble and martial, although he privately calls Zhang Juzheng by his name or number, but outside he calls Zhang Juzheng by his kindness. The purpose of this is to avoid his backer Zhang Juzheng being criticized, Zhang Juzheng is the head of the civil officials after all, you and the generals are called brothers, how can you lead the civil official group, do you want to rebel?

The second is that Qi Jiguang knows how to be a man of proportion, Zhang Juzheng gives himself face, he can't kick his nose on his face, Qi Jiguang, who is familiar with history books, naturally knows that people who kick their noses and face never have good results. Although the house is full of generals, it is difficult to guarantee that there are many people, and if it is accidentally revealed, it will not be in vain that the effort that I have concealed for a long time will be in vain.

"Wang Ying has seen his brother, his brother Yuan Yue Zhi, turning the tide, Zhongxing Daming, is really the first minister in the ages." Wang Ying has always been assertive, why not do it if she has a first assistant who is a brother, she doesn't care about her husband who is still hesitating on the side, and immediately offers a rainbow fart.

Don't look at Wang's five big and three thick, but there is a lot of ink in his stomach, the name of the first phase in the ages is indeed an itch for Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Juzheng smiled at the words of joy when he heard this: "Brother and sister praise falsely, I dare not be ashamed of the first place in the ages, since my brother and sister recognize me as a brother, the first time we meet, I will give you a meeting gift." You Qi, open the brocade box containing the seven stars Ruyi. ”

You Qi took a delicate lacquered pear blossom wood brocade box from his son You You, and carefully opened the box, only to see a green Ruyi lying in it. This Ruyi as a whole is a graceful arc shape, one end is a Zhi shape, which is carved vividly, as if a living Ganoderma lucidum is growing savagely; The other end is engraved with the word Ruyi, the font is vigorous and powerful and elegant, and it is from the hand of a famous artist at a glance.

Seven gems of the same size, different colors are inlaid in the shape of the Big Dipper on the jade Ruyi, among which the yellow-brown gems on the Tianshu position faintly have a strange fragrance, Yang Fan who was standing on the side was surprised, if you are not mistaken, this should be the legendary fragrant jade, this thing has become extinct in modern times, and the so-called fragrant jade on the market is artificially synthesized.

Wang Ying comes from a famous family, so she naturally sees that this seven-star Ruyi is very valuable, even if her maiden family, the hundred-year-old Nanxi Hou, only has a few collections that can compare to this jade seven-star Ruyi.

Wang Ying fell in love with it at first sight, but the so-called courtesy must be sought by people, Zhang Juzheng was already in power, and his son Zhang Jianxiu was a fairy among the gods, and Wang Ying, the god army under his command, was a strong army in the world today, and the Zhang family was now in full swing.

His own husband has relied on his snort to have today's status, and today Zhang Ju is so heavy to give him a gift, it is unreasonable, he wants to reach the top of the supreme position, although Wang Ying has just shown loyalty, but shouting slogans is shouting slogans, rebellion This is to press the lives of the whole family, such a big thing must be cautious, thinking of this Wang Ying hesitated and looked at Qi Jiguang.

After many years of husband and wife, Qi Jiguang naturally knew what Wang Ying's eyes meant, but Qi Jiguang believed that his old friend Zhang Juzheng would not betray Daming, so he signaled his wife to feel at ease, and asked Zhang Juzheng: "Uncle brother, what do you mean by such a heavy gift?" ”

"Yuan Jing is thinking too much, it's just a meeting gift." After Zhang Juzheng finished answering Qi Jiguang, he suddenly said to Yang Fan: "Si'er, take it and send it to your master." ”

Big Brother Zhang's thinking jumped too fast, and Yang Fan almost didn't keep up with the rhythm, "Shi Niang's heroic posture is sassy, and it complements this Seven Treasures Ruyi." ”

Yang Fan's movements were staggered and neat, and he immediately stuffed the brocade box containing Qibao Ruyi in the hands of the housekeeper You Qi into Wang Ying's hands, and he didn't give him a chance to refuse at all.

"Master? Do you call me a teacher? Wang Ying asked Yang Fan, and then a look of sudden realization appeared on his face, and he turned to Qi Jiguang and glared angrily: "You are hiding such a big thing from me, Qi Jiguang, do you regard me as your wife?" ”

Qi Jiguang was confused, but he clearly told Zhang Juzheng on the Zhengyang Gate in the afternoon that he might not be able to accept Zhang Jianxiu as an apprentice with his own ability. Facing his wife's questioning, Qi Jiguang looked confused and innocent.

"Let's pretend to be innocent and pitiful again, isn't it, Concubine Qi Jiguang told you, this set is useless in the old lady, is it interesting to always hide it from the old lady? In the past, concubines were accepted, and so are apprentices today. At this time, people are no longer the people of the past, looking at each other in pairs, only increasing resentment, it is better to reconcile. Wang Ying's face showed disappointment and tiredness.

"Madam, Qi himself doesn't know when he accepted the national teacher as an apprentice, how dare he expire his wife. I am sincere to my wife, but I can show the sun and the moon, and don't mention the matter of separation. After Qi Jiguang finished speaking to his wife, he looked at Zhang Juzheng pitifully, hoping that Lao Zhang would explain to his wife well, this pot is too big and Qi really can't carry it.

"Brother and sister, blame me for not making this clear. The apprenticeship of the four sons of my family was mentioned on the wine table of my family on the day Yuan Jing returned to Beijing. No, I specially came to the door to apprentice today. Abruptly, I hope that my brothers and sisters will forgive me. Zhang Juzheng immediately explained that today's apprenticeship is a happy event, but you can't let the little brother's wife leave because of his own calculations, and there will be many battles in the future.

"Since my brother intercedes for you, the matter of reconciliation and separation will be stopped." Zhang Juzheng opened his mouth to explain and plead, Wang Ying was naturally happy to borrow the donkey from the slope, and the non-existent, Zhengyipin Admiral's wife, which was fought hard by herself with Qi Jiguang with a knife and a gun over the years, but it can't be cheap.

"Thank you, Madame, for your understanding." Qi Jiguang hurriedly nodded and said, licking the dog posture was in place.

"Don't be busy thanking you first, you said that you are sincere to me, why don't you agree to such a small request that I want to lead an army today." Wang Ying immediately stopped Qi Jiguang from licking the dog, looking unhappy.

"Madam, my brother is here today, so I'll tell you the truth. Thanks to the emperor's grace, the first assistant was promoted, and Qi was put in charge of the Beijing Garrison. Qi was well aware that the Beijing camp was full of ills, the noble forces were intertwined in it, and the phenomenon of nepotism among officers was widespread. In order to live up to the trust of the emperor and his elder brother and put the Beijing camp in order, I have thought twice and again that we must carry out drastic reforms, first of all, we must eliminate the noble sons and daughters of the middle and lower-level officers who are fishing in troubled waters.

I have always known that my wife is brave and martial, and her military strategy is unparalleled, and my wife has made great contributions to my achievements today. Madame, don't say that she leads an army, even if I, the commander of the Beijing camp, are given to Madame, Madame is also at ease. I decided to start rectifying the camp tomorrow, and at this juncture, I am so good at nepotism, and I ask my wife to be considerate of the difficulties of her husband. Qi Jiguang first finished speaking in front of Zhang Juzheng and Yang Fan, and then looked at his wife Wang Ying diligently and waited for her to reply.

Although Wang Ying was reluctant in every possible way, she still gave up the idea of leading an army by herself very wisely. Qi Jiguang's small family conflict was successfully resolved, and the next step was naturally to discuss Yang Fan's apprenticeship.

As Zhang Juzheng's son-in-law, and with the identities of the Ming National Teacher, Immortal Disciple, etc., Qi Jiguang naturally could not refuse Yang Fan's apprenticeship. But this master teaches his disciples, there are many doorways inside, some apprentices have followed the master for many years, and in the end they have not learned anything, and some of them have been taught by hand and heart as a mantle at the beginning, and they can't wait for the apprentice to learn to be a teacher as soon as possible.

Before apprenticing, Qi Jiguang asked Yang Fan: "Today's military parade under Zhengyang Gate, the Shen Dynasty Army trained by Wu Guaner is already a first-class and strong army in the world, even compared with the Qi family's army, it is not inferior to the Qi family's army, it can be seen that Er has made great achievements in military affairs, why do you still worship me as a teacher?" ”

Yang Fan knew about his family's affairs, and his handsome face sneered: "Uncle Shi, I don't hide it. My Divine Dynasty Army is compiled and trained according to the training manual given by the Spirit Master, it seems that the martial arts are majestic and extraordinary, and it has not been baptized by the fire of war, and it may be possible to collapse on the battlefield. ”

"The virtuous nephew spoke too modestly, I believe that there is tension in the army of the Divine Dynasty at the beginning of the battlefield, but it is impossible to collapse at the first touch."

"Why?"

"Your Divine Dynasty Army has a military spirit. After a few battles, the army of the Erna God Dynasty will become the first strong army in the world, and now you still want to apprentice? Qi Jiguang solemnly affirmed.

"Bye!" Yang Fan said without hesitation.

"Why?" Qi Jiguang explored.

"I have never been on the battlefield, I can't do anything that will succeed in ten thousand bones, the soldiers of the Divine Dynasty Army are all raised by my father's mother, I have to be responsible for their lives, I heard that Uncle Shi often leads the troops with less to win more, and the loss of soldiers is minimal, I want to learn Uncle Shi's skills, so that the family members of the Divine Dynasty Army will cry less, and I hope that Uncle Shi will accept me as an apprentice" Yang Fan solemnly requested.

"The virtuous nephew loves soldiers like sons, and he is very similar to my temperament, so today I will accept you as a closed disciple and pass on my mantle." Qi Jiguang smiled happily.

After Yang Fan was full of sincerity and finished worshipping his master, he got up and said to his wife Wang Ying: "Master, if you want to lead the army, it is better to come to my Divine Dynasty Army, the Divine Dynasty Army was just established, and it is necessary for a veteran like my wife to sit in the Chinese army, so that the disciple will be full of confidence when he enters the battle formation early next year." ”

"It's still extraordinary and distressed to my wife, how can I be like your master, who often puts a piece of sincerity on his lips, and paints cakes for your master to eat, which is not real at all. Say, "Will you be able to eat enough of this painted bread?" Hum! Wang Ying said to Yang Fan with kind eyes, and sneered at her husband after speaking, venting her inner unhappiness.

Qi Jiguang's old face turned red when he heard this, and he kept sneering and not squeaking.

As the saying goes, it is better to believe that there are ghosts in the world, than to believe in the mouths of men, also as a member of the men, Yang Fan of course has to help the idol master speak, "The Ming Dynasty has always been a martial artist, the master is a military general, even if there is a father in the court, there are many constraints, I believe that the master is sincere to the master, otherwise the master, as the first general of the Ming Dynasty, is not afraid of war or death, so why bear the reputation of fearing the inside." ”

"Really? But your master really can't beat me when it comes to martial arts! Wang Yinghu said suspiciously.

, I didn't expect the famous Qi Dashuai to be so frustrated, and he couldn't do his daughter-in-law at home, which made Yang Fan quite surprised, but looking at the burly body of the master similar to Xiong Zhen, it seems to be reasonable, but this is difficult to pour Yang Fan.

"The master's iron-clad man is not even afraid of death, how can he be afraid of the master. I see that the master and the master are learning martial arts, and I would rather suffer by myself than let the master get hurt. If you really want to fight for your life, who will the master be afraid of? Yang Fan said as he gave his master Qi Jiguang a look.

"Really?" Wang Ying turned her head to look at Qi Jiguang and looked at it, and Qi Jiguang, who had already understood, said affectionately: "Ying'er, you know, I am a more practical person, and I always do more than I say, but the words I say are definitely a spit. ”

"The master is really good to the master, even if my mother is in the Zhang family, she is not as powerful as the master." Yang Fan followed closely and said.

This person, he likes to compare everything, this comparison Wang Ying thought that she was indeed better than the average housewife, and the master Qi Jiguang passed this level tonight.

People are in good spirits on happy occasions, of course, this is indispensable for a banquet, Zhang Juzheng has already ordered You Qi to book the best banquet in the Zhuangyuan Building. Zhuangyuan Building was originally built in Chengzu, according to legend, it was opened by the imperial kitchen of the previous dynasty, and it has been more than 100 years so far, and it is the best restaurant in Beijing.

Among them, the signature dishes such as Niu Qi Chongxiao, Dragon and Phoenix Chengxiang, and Snow Feiyan were praised by Yang Fan, who has the level of a chef, after tasting them, and Qi Jiguang introduced his sons and nephews Qi Jin to himself.

Due to the appearance of Yang Fan, the power of the Zhang family is stronger, if there is no accident, the future will be the era of the Zhang family, Qi Jiguang is also paving the way for his own sons and nephews, not only Qi Jiguang's sons are young or the Qi family is very strict, and they are quite restrained at the banquet, but the nephew Qi Jin is quite active, frequently toasting to Yang Fan and Zhang Juzheng, and it is the guests and hosts who maintain the atmosphere of the banquet with witty words.

Yang Fan looked at the young Qi Jin who was active at the banquet, if he didn't have himself, he would lead the Qi family army to fight the Hunhe River in a few decades, this was the last swan song battle of the Qi family army, Qi Jin could have escaped as the main general, but he resolutely chose to die generously, interpreting the soul of the Qi family army's loyal and brave service to the country, but it is a pity that Qi Jin is gone, and there will be no Qi family army in the world after that.

After the banquet was dismissed, the slightly drunk Yang Fan patted Qi Jin's shoulder and said, "Shaotang, with me, you and the Qi family army will live forever in the world!" ”

"Uncle, what do you mean by extraordinary?" Qi Jin asked.

"Extraordinary, this is a fancy to you, my uncle is old, your cousins are still young, and the banner of the Qi family army will depend on you to resist in the future." Qi Jiguang said with a smile.

"Me! I can't... Uncle is old and strong, Lian Po is still able to fight again, I think my uncle can fight for the Ming Dynasty for another 20 years, when they have grown up in Zuoguo, the banner of the Qi family army will naturally be handed over to them, I still like to be a pioneer general under my uncle. Qi Jintou shook like a rattle and refused.

"You! The face is thick but the ghost is in his heart, and he is playing tricks with his uncle. Over the years, you have followed my uncle and me to fight in the north and south, although I have not accepted you as an apprentice, but under the teaching of words and deeds, you have won eight points of my true transmission. Shaotang, my uncle originally planned to pass the banner of the Qi family army to Er. As for your cousins, these older women and children are neglected to discipline them, and there is no one in my view who can pass on my mantle. Qi Jiguang said earnestly to Qi Jin.

In fact, there is one thing that Qi Jiguang did not say to his nephew Qi Jin, the reason why he handed over the banner of the Qi family army to Qi Jin was because Qi Jiguang Qi Jiguang felt that he had solved the external troubles of the Ming Dynasty by fighting in the south and the north, and at least played 30 years of peace for the Ming Dynasty, and his own merits were enough to make his sons sealed, and there was no need to go to the battlefield to fight hard and gain fame, which was Qi Jiguang's selfishness as a father.

"Uncle fought for the Ming Dynasty in the past, and he had no time to teach his cousins, but now that he is in Beijing, he has a lot of time to teach his cousins to become successful, and it is more appropriate for the Qi family's army to hand over the military flag to the cousins." Qi Jin's hands trembled in his long sleeves, but his face was loyal and persuasive.

"Indeed!" Qi Ji suddenly said with a straight face.

"Uh..." Qi Jiguang's answer was unexpected by Qi Jin, and the words that were originally prepared were difficult to blurt out for a while, and he was embarrassed.

"Haha... Shaotang, your uncle is your uncle after all. It is a good thing for young people to be ambitious, and now is a good time for you to make a contribution. Qi Jiguang quipped with a red face.

"Really?" Qi Jin exclaimed.

"Yes!" Qi Jiguang teased.

"That being the case... Where is the nephew going, I hope my uncle will give me advice! Qi Jin asked with a bow.

"Young man calm down, there are many people here, Shaotang will follow me back to the house to discuss!" Qi Jiguang said in a low voice.

"What my uncle taught me is that at this time, it is related to my Qi family's hundred-year plan, and I need to be cautious." Qi Jin Zhengse said.
