"Qing'er, Qing'er......" Xiao Yunfan sat up suddenly, his cheeks covered with beads of sweat. It turned out that he saw Feng Miaoqing fall into a whirlpool in a dream, and his heart was in a hurry and he woke up. Seeing his expression, the maid Qianqian felt pity in her heart, and took out a brocade handkerchief from her sleeve to wipe his sweat for him. Xiao Yunfan froze and said, "Miss Qianqian, where am I?"

Qianqian said softly: "Uncle Xiao, this is the inn, Master Leng has already sent those people away." You don't have to take those bastard things they say to heart. By the way, are you feeling better?"

Xiao Yunfan smiled and said, "I'm fine, let you worry." The tired girl came to Brother Fang, and I wanted to talk to him. Qianqian looked at Xiao Yunfan with a pair of wonderful eyes, bit her lip, and then nodded and walked out the door.

Sunlight enters through the panes and spills onto the floor, creating diamond-shaped spots on the ground. After Xiao Yunfan got up and washed, he moved his muscles and bones, and suddenly felt refreshed. He walked to the window and looked out, on the east side of the long street, there was a crowd of people in front of the early stalls, hot buns just out of the cage, crispy and delicious golden silk cakes, white and tender and fragrant tofu flowers, and the aroma wafting in the air made people salivate.

Looking at the fresh fruits and vegetables in front of the vendor's stall, purple grapes, pink peaches, and green watermelons, I feel moisturized when I look at it. The enthusiastic shouting is filled with a thick market fireworks. And it is precisely this pyrotechnic atmosphere that makes people feel energetic and extremely reassured. Only such a bustling city can make people who are dead feel the most beautiful in the world.

Xiao Yunfan thought in his heart: "Go to the damn rivers and lakes! Fighting and killing all day long has the meaning of a bird, thinking that if you learn a little martial arts, you will be superior to others, and compared with these ordinary people, you are simply stupid."

What is the right way, what is the evil way, it is not to go to the Huangquan Road when you turn your head upside down. Since neither the good nor the evil will tolerate me, then why don't I forge a path of my own? I will not hinder you, and you will not want to hinder me. As soon as he thought of this, he suddenly felt a pride in his chest, as if there was another wide avenue between heaven and earth for him to walk.

The master of the dark city is scheming, and Xiao Yunfan can't see through the other party. He pondered, "This Mr. Xunyi is neither good nor evil, why does he want to help me?

If this is the only reason, the price to pay is a bit large. He wanted to keep me and make me surrender to him. But the dark city he created is still a world of the jungle, and what I Xiao Yunfan is most unaccustomed to is relying on the strong to bully the weak, if I want to stay in that kind of place and be a dog wagging my tail and begging for mercy, it is better to let people from both good and evil kill me.

He has appointed so many masters to me, could it be that he also covets this military book by General Qi?

Judging from the fact that the ghost phase sect appointed people to seize the military book, they probably wanted to provoke the military disaster. And my enemies are in the north, and if this book falls into the hands of the Tatars. They used the strategy of the book to train soldiers, and then invaded the territory of our Ming Dynasty, and the consequences were terrible.

General Qi has the ambition to clear the world, and this military book he wrote, in my opinion, has the same intention as the ancient sages. Soldiers, like martial arts, have the fundamental purpose of stopping war, not attacking, and only seeking war as a last resort.

The world is peaceful, there will never be war, the people are happy, and the party is the road. But once this book of war falls into the hands of thieves, in time, the other party provokes swordsmen, and the territory of our Ming Dynasty will definitely ignite the flames of war, and the people will fall into dire straits. In any case, this book of war must not fall into the wrong hands.

The imperial court confiscated this military book, and it was going to be destroyed. In that case, it would be a pity that most of General Qi's life's hard work would be wasted. This military book must not be handed over to the imperial court. In addition to snatching books from the imperial court this time, most of the little emperors listened to the rumors and deliberately harmed the old general.

The old general has served the country and the people all his life, and he is a real hero, even if I Xiao Yunfan risked my life, I must try to protect his old man. Besides, General Qi has a deep relationship with his family teacher, and I can't stand idly by. ”

It turned out that Xie Tianya had accompanied Qi Jiguang to fight against the Japanese in his early years, and the two were also heart-to-heart. However, Xie Tianya was later led by other matters, so he left the Qi family's army. He was pondering when Fang Kui pushed the door in. Fang Kui wore a black iron mask on his face, which only covered the upper half of his face, and his chin was exposed.

Fang Kui sat down on the table opposite him and asked, "You're finally awake." You didn't come to me because you wanted to eat mint leaves, did you?" Xiao Yunfan smiled: "If you have it, then bring me some to taste, anyway, you are not a stingy person." ”

Fang Kui grabbed a handful from a cowhide bag around his waist and gave it to Xiao Yunfan, Xiao Yunfan took it and stuffed it in his mouth and chewed it heavily, the refreshing coolness made him very useful.

At this time, there was a hint of cunning in his eyes, and he said with a smile: "I invited Brother Fang here to ask you a word. Fang Kui said: "What are you saying?" Xiao Yunfan said: "Is your master also interested in this military book?" Fang Kui said: "You are too worried, the lord is not interested in this kind of thing." ”

Xiao Yunfan sighed and said, "That's why I spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." Fang Kui said: "I advise you to be careful when you speak in the future, I can go in and out of my left ear in front of me, I don't think you will ask for anything good in front of others." ”

Xiao Yunfan's face flushed slightly and said, "Brother Fang, I really don't understand why your master wants to help me?" He is really not afraid of offending people in black and white?" Fang Kui said: "The lord acts, only asks about his own likes and dislikes, and what rules and dogmas are ignored in the eyes of his old man. Honestly, he can help you, and that's your blessing. If you have to be suspicious of this and that, I think you are a little ignorant. ”14

Xiao Yunfan smiled and said: "It's not that Xiao is too careful, but the rivers and lakes are sinister, and people's hearts are unpredictable. I've already suffered a loss once, if I want to be the last time I do it, wouldn't it be very worthless?" Fang Kui said: "You have your concerns, I can understand. But let me warn you again, if you doubt the things of the Lord, it is better not to let anyone else know, or I will not be able to control them if they do anything radical. ”

Everyone went all the way north, first arrived in Huai'an, then turned to Yanzhou, and then passed through Qingzhou and Laizhou to Dengzhou. Along the way, everyone changed their costumes, but it was calm. Dengzhou Mansion, governing Penglai, has jurisdiction over Ninghai Prefecture, Penglai County, Huang County, Fushan County, Qixia County, Zhaoyuan County, Laiyang County, and Wendeng County.

Xiao Yunfan asked everyone to wait at the inn and went to visit Qi Jiguang's residence. After coming to Penglai County to inquire about nearby villagers, he went to Qifu to pay a visit. Qi Jiguang did not live in the mansion at this time, but moved to a nearby fishing village to recuperate. Xiao Yunfan went to Qi's mansion and ran away, so he went to a fishing village near the sea to pay a visit under the guidance of the Qi family.

At the thought of seeing this old hero, Xiao Yunfan felt heroic and excited. He slowly came to the outside of the wooden gate, and arched his hands: "Xiao Yunfan, a person from the Langjian Gate, pays a visit to General Qi. ”

Qi Jiguang has been recuperating in the past few days, and his complexion has improved a lot. He was telling a story to a few children at the moment, with a kind smile on his face. A boy with a double bun and a round face heard the guest visiting, so he said to Qi Jiguang: "Old man Qi, someone is looking for you." ”

Qi Jiguang stood up straight and walked out of the front door with a rattan cane. The door was open, Xiao Yunfan glanced at the old general, knelt on one knee and said loudly: "Xiao Yunfan, a person from Langjian Gate, greets General Qi." ”

Qi Jiguang looked at him with a pair of eyes on his thin cheeks and said, "The old man has long been disarmed and returned to the field, don't mention the three words General Qi again." You say you're from Langjianmen?" Xiao Yunfan said, "Exactly." Little nephew Xiao Yunfan. The family teacher respects Xie Tianya. ”

Qi Jiguang was overjoyed and said, "Oh, it turned out to be Brother Xie's apprentice." Good boy, get up, get up. The children were also curious when they saw the visitor. Qi Jiguang asked an older child to lead the other children to play elsewhere and come back later to listen to the story.

Xiao Yunfan stood up, walked to Qi Jiguang's side, and helped him to the seat. Then put aside the few gifts you have prepared. Qi Jiguang smiled and said, "Virtuous nephew, is your master and his old man okay?" Xiao Yunfan said: "The family teacher passed away three years ago. ”

When Qi Jiguang heard this, he was embarrassed. I was silent for a long time, and tears flowed from my eyes. Xiao Yunfan said: "Shibo, your old man is not in the mansion, why did you move to this fishing village?"

Qi Jiguang stretched out his sleeves and wiped his tears and said: "It's too boring to stay in the house, but it's more comfortable to stay in this fishing village." It's a pleasure to wake up in the morning and watch the fishermen go out to sea to fish in the morning sun, and see them come home at sunset. I'm old and love spending time with kids. Telling stories to these children from time to time can also be comforting. ”

Xiao Yunfan was embarrassed when he heard this. This pillar of the Ming Dynasty, a powerful man, led the three armies and swept away the southeast and the troubles, how majestic he was. Guarding the thistle gate, solid as gold, so that the northern barbarians did not enter an inch of land, how high-spirited. However, at this time, he couldn't see the arrogance and arrogance that looked down on the world. Some are a kind of calm and calmness after going through the world.

That night, Qi Jiguang asked his son to prepare some coarse tea and light rice to entertain Xiao Yunfan. There was no alcohol during the banquet, and Qi Jiguang only had a strange brilliance in his eyes when he talked about joining forces with Xie Tianya to fight against the Japanese in the past, and in addition, he didn't have many words.

Qi Zuoguo was suspicious of Xiao Yunfan's arrival, and after serving Qi Jiguang to sleep, he came to visit. Qi Zuoguo arched his hand and said, "What is Brother Xiao trying to do with his father, you might as well say it bluntly." Xiao Yunfan said: "Why did Brother Qi say that?"

Qi Zuoguo sneered: "Brother Xiao, if the imperial court sent the Jinyi guard to arrest my father's handle, then you have a wrong idea." My father has been ill since he was dismissed. Who you make friends with and what you do on weekdays, Penglai County Order must be clear. Xiao Yunfan frowned and said, "Brother Qi is wrong, I am not a brocade guard, let alone a speechman. I'm just a charlatan. ”

Qi Zuoguo said: "What do you want to do when you approach your father, say it happily." Xiao Yunfan saw that he was an impatient, so he didn't beat around the bush. Lang Sheng said: "Little brother Xiao Yunfan, I came here to relieve the siege of the Qi family." ”

Qi Zuoguo sneered: "My father has been disarmed and returned to the field, is it possible that there are people in the court who still refuse to stop and want to kill my Qi family?

If you are really Xiao Yunfan, then I have heard that the flooding in the south of the Yangtze River is the handiwork of Your Excellency. Even if those people in the rivers and lakes don't pursue you, the royal law of the court will always clean you up, and you can't protect yourself, and you still have the spare time to take care of our family's idle affairs?" Fortunately, Xiao Yunfan's generosity did not take it to heart.

Xiao Yunfan said lightly: "Brother Qi, I have already told you my intentions, if you don't believe me, I have nothing to say." However, I advise you to try to take General Qi elsewhere to avoid the limelight, and the imperial court may make a hard move this time. ”

Qi Zuoguo was taken aback when he heard this, and was about to answer, when Qi Jiguang coughed and appeared behind him. I only heard him say lightly: "The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die, but it is just a death." What are you afraid of?"
