The emperor sighed: "Although Dean San is the number one in the world, he is an idle cloud and wild crane, and he is not something I can control after all. So I discussed with him and let Wang Yangming join the army to serve the country, under your command, under your protection. It took a lot of effort to get him to agree. But I didn't expect you to let Wang Yangming enter a dangerous place, so I was angry with you. ”

Boyan didn't expect this to be so complicated, involving some kind of tacit understanding between the emperor and San Yisheng, he didn't dare to talk nonsense, he just listened quietly.

The emperor said: "I originally wanted to leave Wang Yangming in the court and the opposition, and give him a civil official position at will, subject to the control of the Ministry of Officials. But San Yisheng disagreed. ”

It turned out that at that time, San Yisheng heard the emperor say that he wanted Wang Yangming to leave his side, although he couldn't stop it, he made a request, he couldn't let him waste time in the Kyoto officialdom, and he must be allowed to go to the front line to train himself and improve his combat strength, so that if one day he really encountered a situation that San Yisheng and my Daxia military could not protect, Wang Yangming's own combat strength could also protect himself.

When the emperor saw that San Yisheng took a step back, he had to take a step back and send Wang Yangming to the front line of the army for training. Among the many frontier generals in Great Xia, he trusted Boyan the most, so he sent Wang Yangming to the Northwest Army.

Only then did Boyan know what kind of mistake he had made. Hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty. The emperor said impatiently, "Get up." I said, don't ask for guilt. ”

Boyan stood up and didn't dare to sit again. The emperor said: "Don't mention the past, fortunately, there is no danger." I ask you, how is Wang Yangming's martial arts entry now? If he encounters a black robe, what is his chance of winning?"

Boyan thought for a while and replied, "Wang Yangming is a rare martial arts wizard. He is now the strength of the five grades, and the internal and external skills he has practiced are all the best choices. The minister privately thought that if he was given another five years, he would be able to break through the nine grades and become a martial arts master. It's just that the black robe is an unborn demon master, and now that Wang Yangming is facing him, he doesn't dare to say that there is a chance of victory. But before, when Wang Yangming was still in the fourth grade, it was enough to rely on the immortal method of the Eight Gate Dunjia to fight with the black robe, and after a while, if he broke through to the sixth grade, met the black robe, and tried his best, he would definitely be able to fight a draw. ”

The emperor's eyes lit up: "I didn't expect this kid to have such great potential." He has only been practicing martial arts for a year, and he is already a master of the five grades. It's better to compare you old guys. Since this is the case, let's hurry up and let him break through the six grades. ”

Boyan thought to himself, if the apprentices trained by San Yisheng himself were no different from ordinary people in martial arts, it would be abnormal. It's just that martial arts break through the realm, and it takes all kinds of opportunities, and that's so easy. A few days ago, he had already passed on his talisman fire and greed sword method to Wang Yangming, presumably to help him in his cultivation. Give him another half a year, and he should be able to break into the sixth grade.

When the emperor heard that it would take another half a year, he shook his head and said, "It's too slow, you can't wait." Say, is there any way to make him a six-rank master before he returns to Jiayuguan?"

Boyan shook his head, unable to answer. Martial arts practice, step by step, he really doesn't know how to make people break through the realm quickly.

The emperor smiled: "There are actually things that can stump you. Okay, I'll figure it out. He ordered the close eunuch Xiao Li to go and invite Grandpa Hong from the imperial dining room. Boyan didn't know what kind of person that Gonggong Hong was, but the person in charge of the imperial dining room must be a cook, so how could he have something to do with cultivation.

After a while, an old eunuch walked in, and when Boyan heard the footsteps of this person, this person had already arrived behind him, and Boyan jumped up, and the man sighed, as if it was strange that Boyan would find himself in advance. Boyan saw that he was a eunuch, and he thought that this person should be Gonggong Hong, but this person's body was evil, and his strength of the ninth rank actually didn't notice him coming in at all. It seems that this man's martial arts are unfathomable. Such a master actually served in the imperial dining room, I really don't know how many such masters are hidden in this palace.

Gonggong Hong respectfully said to the emperor: "Your Majesty summoned the old slave here, I don't know what to order." ”

The emperor didn't talk about business, and introduced Boyan first: "This is the commander of my Northwest Army, General Boyan." ”

Gonggong Hong's eyes flashed, Boyan was moved, and he listened to him: "The general's name is like thunder." Fire is greedy for a knife, and the name is well deserved. ”

Boyan was surprised in his heart, you must know that the name of Huo Greed was used by him when he was in the army when he was in the rivers and lakes, and he was never known by his colleagues in the DPRK and China, and the person in front of him actually easily revealed his origin, it seems that this person must also be a veteran with rich experience in the rivers and lakes.

After the two of them finished the ceremony, the emperor slowly said: "This Gonggong Hong is the number one master in Da Nei. However, his favorite thing in his life is not martial arts, but the world's delicacies, so I arranged him in the imperial dining room, and he tasted everything that was paid tribute to me, so his mouth was bigger than mine. ”

Gonggong Hong arched his hand and said, "Don't dare." The old slave served the saint and did not regret his death. ”

The emperor nodded: "Don't talk nonsense. I want one of General Boyan's subordinates to be quickly promoted from the fifth rank to the sixth rank, I wonder if there is any way for Gonggong Hong?"

Gonggong Hong pondered for a moment and asked, "How old is this person, which master did he learn from, what internal skills did he practice, and when did he break through the five grades?"

Boyan answered truthfully, and Gonggong Hong sighed: "It turned out to be Dean San's apprentice." Why didn't Dean San personally help him improve his realm?"

The emperor was a little helpless, and said: "You know Dean San's temperament, what he hates most is pulling out seedlings to help them grow." So you can't let him do anything about this, Lao Hong, you have to rely on you. ”

Hong Gong said fairly: "The old slave knows. But Guozijian has San Yisheng in charge, and the old slave has no confidence that he can hide from him, so I think it is not too late for General Boyan and Wang Yangming to return to Jiayuguan Road. ”

The Emperor nodded and ordered him to step aside. Boyan didn't know what kind of magic Gonggong Hong had, so he was curious, but he didn't dare to ask more.

Gonggong Hong left, and the emperor said to Boyan: "The day before yesterday, I drank with your father and talked about the old things during the war, and I was so sad in my heart. The old people who fought the world with me back then, except for your father and San Yisheng, are no longer alive. ”

Boyan said respectfully: "The Holy Lord's compassion for the old ministers is the blessing of my Great Xia. ”

"Even if I don't look at your military exploits, but only look at my friendship with your father, I should reuse you. You have been a four-grade loyal general for three years. The fourth grade, after all, is a little lower. Yuan Chonghuan of the Northern Army, such a wooden head, is already a general from Sanpin. You're better than him, so you should be taller than him. I will announce to the hundred officials tomorrow morning that you will be promoted to the general of Huaihua, who is the third grade. ”
