Boyan didn't want the emperor to promote himself so soon, so he hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him. The emperor asked again: "Wang Yangming did a good job in the Northwest Army?"

Boyan got up and replied: "Wang Yangming was ordered by me to form a team of 100 people of the Eagle Yang Army. ”

"Meritorious service is rewarded. He had already been promoted to a seventh-rank captain before, and this time he was promoted by two levels, so let him be a sixth-rank Zhaowu captain. All those who have military merits in the Eagle Yang Army will be rewarded according to their military merits, and this will be handled by you when you go back. ”

Boyan thanked Wang Yangming and others for the reward, and the emperor saw that everything had been explained, so he ordered him to thank him and retreat. Boyan left respectfully, and the emperor looked at the empty imperial study room and was silent for a long time, and finally sighed lightly and drove back to the palace to rest.

Wang Yangming and San Yisheng rode their horses all the way to Guozijian slowly, and he immediately thanked San Yisheng for rushing to the palace quickly, and the emperor was not too embarrassed for himself after all.

San Yisheng said: "If I come slowly, you kid is reckless, who knows what you will say in front of the emperor." It turned out that San Yisheng got a notice from Biluo and knew that Wang Yangming had returned to Beijing, although he didn't say it, but he was actually worried about it, so he hurried to the military department to find it, and learned that Wang Yangming and Boyan went to the palace, and San Yisheng was worried that something was wrong, so he rushed to the palace immediately.

Wang Yangming smiled: "It's still the master who loves me." ”

San Yisheng glanced at him approvingly: "Seeing that your internal strength has entered the realm, you have already broken through the fifth grade?" Seeing the Zangfeng heavy sword on his back, he said curiously: "What is this black thing on your back?"

Wang Yangming took down the Zangfeng sword and introduced him.

San Yisheng raised his eyebrows and said, "It turns out that the bronze sword is already too light?"

Wang Yangming danced a sword flower with Zang Feng casually, and San Yisheng saw that he was lifting weights lightly, knowing that his strength had increased again, Wang Yangming said: "Now it is just right to use this hundred-pound heavy sword." ”

San Yisheng nodded and stopped talking. Wang Yangming thought that he would praise himself no matter what, and he didn't want him to cherish words like gold so much, and he was sullen: "I have made such great progress, and you don't encourage me, can you still be my teacher well." ”

San Yisheng said lightly: "It is your task to be brave and diligent, aren't you determined to become a world-famous master as soon as possible, why do you need me to encourage and praise you." ”

The two of them quarreled all the way, and they had already arrived at the gate of Guozijian. The two parted at the door, San Yisheng went to his room, and Wang Yangming couldn't wait to find a few senior brothers and sisters to catch up. Chao Wendao was still outside and had not returned, and he couldn't see it, but the second senior brother Zhu Ganglie was idle in the courtyard. Wang Yangming chatted with him for a while, and Zhu Ganglie was not surprised to see that Wang Yangming had broken through the realm of the five grades, so he pulled him to take a closer look, and said, "Little junior brother, you have entered the realm again, which is really amazing." ”

Wang Yangming was praised by him, and he was very relieved: the second senior brother likes to praise people the most, which makes people happy. His own master didn't say a word of praise, which really made him sad.

Zhu Ganglie asked about the front-line war, Wang Yangming said briefly, and Zhu Ganglie said: "On the battlefield in the northwest, life and death are really tied to the front line. Little junior brother, if you have nothing to do, you should practice my method of seeing through that day, if you meet a master among the Hu people, it will be of great help to you to see through his reality first. ”

Wang Yangming thought so, and hurriedly asked Zhu Ganglie for the method of Tianyantong.

Zhu Ganglie said curiously: "There is a secret book of Tianyantong in the library pavilion. It's four hours today, Teacher Yu is on duty, why don't you go to her to borrow it?"

Wang Yangming said in his heart that it was too late for me to hide from her, how could I send it to the door.

Zhu Ganglie saw that he was obsessed, so he had to go back to the room and take the secret book of Tianyantong that he had copied, and explained the cultivation method to Wang Yangming. He was not in a hurry to cultivate this method, and secretly thought that he would have enough time to practice on the way back to the northwest.

He went to find the third senior sister Zeng Zuimo again, but he didn't find it. Among the several senior brothers and sisters of Guozijian, Zeng Zuimo is the most mysterious, rarely appearing in everyone's field of vision, and he doesn't know what he is busy with every day. But Wang Yangming had a very good impression of this senior sister, and he couldn't find it, so he had to give up.

Then he went to find the Great Sect Xi Guanglingzi, and without waiting for him to ask, he reported Su Mu's situation to him in detail. Dajiao Xi changed his previous seriousness, and actually praised Wang Yangming: "You are now Su Mu's chief, Su Mu's affairs are your business, you can take care of her." "Wang Yangming thought that you felt sorry for your female disciple, so he was so polite to me. hurriedly responded, patted his chest loudly, and Guanglingzi let him go.

After that, he successively went to the second sect to learn the spirit of Xuzi, the third to teach the Xiaoyaozi, and the fourth to teach the Cassia to report the situation to them one by one. What these people are most concerned about is what happens to their apprentices. When they heard that they were all safe and sound, and that every one of them had entered the country, their hearts rejoiced.

Seeing that these tasks were completed, Wang Yangming returned to his room and saw that Biluo was already waiting in the room. Wang Yangming asked, "What are you waiting for me in my room?"

Biluo said: "Brother Yangming, there is an important matter that I have to tell you." ”

Wang Yangming thought that this child could have something big, but when he saw Biluo pulling Wang Yangming to the side of the bed, he lifted the quilt and was about to go to bed, Wang Yangming was shocked and said: "Biluo! Calm down! What is this going to do!"

Bi Luo didn't know what he meant, so he lifted the mattress on the bed, revealing a corner of silver that was shining, and said, "What is Brother Yangming talking about? ”

Wang Yangming knew that he would be wrong, so he was not embarrassed, and said: "Ah, silver, silver...... Wait, silver!" he lifted the mattress, and saw that the bed was full of white silver, and after a long time, he suddenly laughed, and was very happy.

Biluo looked strange, thinking that this brother Yangming was a person who didn't love money, why was he so happy to see Yinzi today. She explained to Wang Yangming that this silver was the manuscript fee sent by Cao Zhan before, a total of 2,000 taels. Biluo was worried about the safety of the silver, and hid it all under Wang Yangming's bed.

Wang Yangming was happy, but suddenly remembered the eight thousand five hundred taels owed to Boyan, and these two thousand taels were just a drop in the bucket, and he was suddenly depressed.

Bi Luo said: "Brother Yangming's manuscript should have been published in the eighth single book, I don't know if Cao Zhan got a new manuscript fee over there, maybe he can get another two or three thousand taels for you to pay off the debt." ”

After being reminded by her, Wang Yangming suddenly got up and went to find Cao Zhan. Cao Zhan was listening to the lecture in the classroom, and when he saw Wang Yangming coming with a gust of wind, he hurriedly said goodbye to the teacher, walked out of the house, and said happily: "Mr. Thirteen is back!"

Wang Yangming patted him on the shoulder and said affectionately: "Brother Cao, to make a long story short, the time that the junior brother can stay when he comes back this time is very short, and I owe a huge debt now, and I have to get some silver to turn around." Do you think Xinhua Bookstore can advance some silver for me?"

Cao Zhan said curiously: "Mr. Zang wrote a letter a few days ago, saying that there was a shortage of silver, and I went to Xinhua Bookstore to advance three thousand taels, why do you say that you want money now, is three thousand taels not enough?"

Wang Yangming said with a bitter face: "It's not enough, it's not enough, there is still a gap of six thousand five hundred taels that can't be plugged!"

Cao Zhan quietly pulled Wang Yangming aside, and his voice was very serious: "Sir, there have been no winners in casinos since ancient times, don't fall into it and ruin your reputation for a lifetime!"
