Qi Zuoguo turned around and said, "Father." Qi Jiguang said slowly: "Guo'er, you go first." Qi Zuoguo glanced at Xiao Yunfan, hesitated, and said, "Father, this person can't be trusted. Qi Jiguang said: "For your father's own opinions, you step down." He walked into the room.

The room was dimly lit, and the two sat down. Xiao Yunfan hesitated for a moment and said, "Uncle Shi, the little nephew is indeed here to discuss matters. Qi Jiguang's eyes flashed and said, "Why does Qi believe you?"

Xiao Yunfan smiled and said: "That is the case, that little nephew plays a set of blue sea and blue sky swords of his own sect, I think your old man must have seen it." As he spoke, Xiao Yunfan picked up the black scabbard and danced.

Qi Jiguang watched Xiao Yunfan's swordsmanship open and close, swaying to the end, remembering the past, and his heart was full of emotion. When Xiao Yunfan finished dancing, he still hadn't detached from his memories. Xiao Yunfan pulled his sword at his side and said, "Uncle Shi, now you can trust me?"

Qi Jiguang nodded: "Yes, I know Brother Xie's swordsmanship, and you are indeed his heir." Son, what the hell are you looking for me?"

Xiao Yunfan then told the story that the two forces of the Ghost Xiangmen and the imperial court would come to seize the military book, and Qi Jiguang pondered for a long time after listening to it. He looked out the window and sighed: "The eighteen volumes of Qi's "New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness" and the nine volumes of "Actual Records of Military Training" have long been handed over to the imperial court. ”

Xiao Yunfan said: "Uncle Shi acts above board, and Yunfan can be trusted. But ......" Qi Jiguang said: "Do you want to say that the people in the court don't believe it, and the people from the ghost sect don't believe it either, and think that I still have a private copy?"

Xiao Yunfan nodded and said, "Exactly." Qi Jiguang thought for a long time and said slowly: "Actually, they guessed well, I do have another one in my hand, but I plan to bring this one into the coffin." ”

Xiao Yunfan was puzzled when he heard this: "Since it is a painstaking work, why should it be brought into the coffin?"

Qi Jiguang said: "Soldiers, fierce." Soldiers are also the most dangerous things in the world, and there is no reason for immortals to shed blood and fight. The military book written by Qi is the same as the martial arts cheats, which are all killing techniques.

Leave to the Hereafter, and there will be endless calamities. I've killed countless people in my life, and this last book of war still talks about the way of killing. Wouldn't it be a good thing for me to bring such a hoodoo into the coffin?"

Xiao Yunfan pondered for a moment and said: "Whether it is a military book or a martial arts, there is no distinction between good and evil, and it is human beings who have good and evil. The younger nephew is not talented, and it is speculated that the original purpose of Uncle Shi's book was to stop the war, not to pursue killing. ”

Qi Jiguang was quite appreciative of his words, and immediately stroked his beard and said: "What you said has won my heart, and it seems that I have found a successor to this military book." Xiao Yunfan hugged his fists and said: "Uncle Shi, the little nephew is not here to covet your old military book. Just want to take care of you. ”

Qi Jiguang stood up, leaned on a rattan cane and said, "Okay, Fan'er, you can come with me." With that, he walked straight out of the house. Xiao Yunfan followed him to a firewood room. Qi Jiguang pointed to the pile of firewood and grass in front of him and said, "You move the pile of firewood and grass away." ”

Xiao Yunfan did as he was told, moved away from the pile of firewood and grass, and a five-foot-square iron plate was exposed on the ground, with a fist-sized ring in the middle of the iron plate. He reached out and grabbed the ring on the iron plate and lifted it up, and the iron plate was lifted, revealing a dark hole in the ground.

Holding oil lamps, the two walked up the stairs from the entrance of the tunnel, and soon came to a stone chamber. On the east wall of the stone chamber hangs a broken "Daming Sea Territory Map", and on the west wall hangs a long knife.

Qi Jiguang sat on a chair, looked at the map on the wall, had a lonely look on his face, and said slowly: "Fan'er, I am old now, and I can no longer protect Daming." I want you to protect me. ”

Xiao Yunfan said: "This ...... Uncle Shi, my little nephew heard what happened to you in the past two years, and I felt sorry for you. That's how the Ming Dynasty treats you, do you still want me to protect this Ming Dynasty?"

Qi Jiguang raised his head and said: "The Ming Dynasty can not be sorry for me Qi Jiguang, but I can't be sorry for the Ming Dynasty." The Ming I want to protect is the Ming in my heart, and without the Ming there would be no Qi Jiguang, so I want you to continue to protect it for me. Would you like to?"

His gaze was so warm and full of warmth. It was as if he was the last flame, and Xiao Yunfan was the wood waiting to be burned. Only by passing on this fire can his life have meaning.

Xiao Yunfan knelt down and said, "Yunfan is willing to listen to Uncle Shi's teachings and protect the Ming Dynasty." Qi Jiguang had tears in his eyes, stretched out his hand to help him, and said excitedly: "Good, good, good." Qi finally found a successor to the mantle. ”

Xiao Yunfan promised in his mouth, but he thought in his heart: "I can't take care of myself now, and I made this promise?" suddenly changed his mind and thought again, "If the husband dies, he will die, why drag the mud and water." ”

He stood up and said, "Why didn't Uncle Shi pass on this art of war to the Qi family, and pass it on to an outsider of mine?" Qi Jiguang said: "Although Qi has four sons now, none of them can receive this art of war. First, they are stupid and not handsome.

Second, if the Qi family is staying in this art of war, it will be disloyal to the court. I have long been looking for a successor, but there are not many such people in the world.

I wanted this art of war for my children and grandchildren to burn it at my grave after I died, and go with me. Your arrival has changed my original intention, and although you have not led troops to fight, you can tell the true meaning of using soldiers. In my opinion, this is God's mercy on Qi. Let me have a mantle in my lifetime, fortunately, fortunately!" he said with a smile on his face.

Xiao Yunfan looked at his Qi Jiguang's old face, thought of his master, and couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in his heart, and said secretly: "The mastery in this world needs someone to inherit it, and since I promise Uncle Shi, I can't act arbitrarily like before." Thanks to his old man's love, he taught the art of war. I should also do my best to protect Daming and the people I love, this is what I Xiao Yunfan should do in the future. "I love to read books

Qi Jiguang opened a wooden box, picked up a booklet with a blue cover and said: "Fan'er, this "Canghai Dragon Tengzhi" is divided into twelve volumes, including my life's painstaking efforts, and I will pass on all this thing to you today." In the past, I followed Hu Butang (Hu Zongxian) to fight against the Japanese in the coastal area, and made countless surveys of the southeast coast of my Ming Dynasty.

The Lord of the Ministry once commissioned me and Tan Lun to compile the book "Preparation of the Sea Charts", and my set of military techniques was born from this. The essence of the ancient art of war is good at speaking and sloppy, and it is neglected in detail. My "Canghai Dragon Tengzhi" focuses on the details and neglects the outline. The ancient military book presents the military affairs, covering the two battles of water and land. Land warfare, described by the predecessors, this book is omitted. However, water warfare has its own shortcomings.

I Ming set up nine towns (Liaodong, Jizhou, Xuanfu, Datong, Taiyuan, Yansui, Ningxia, Guyuan, Gansu) on the land for the Great Wall defense, to resist the enemy in the north, but the southeast coast stretches for thousands of miles, but neglects coastal defense.

In my opinion, Kyushu is the territory of my Ming Dynasty, and the southeast sea is also the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Only by controlling the land and controlling the sea can the Ming Dynasty be stable. During the Yongle period, Zheng He once organized a fleet to go to the Western Ocean, and the Ming Navy could still compete with foreign enemies. But now the sailor is not as good as before, which is exactly what I am worried about. ”

The two talked for a long time, Qi Jiguang reached out and took off the Qi family knife on the wall, rubbed the blade of the knife and murmured: "This saber has followed me to fight in the south and north for decades, and today I will give him to you, I hope you can live up to your trust." ”

Xiao Yunfan took the Qi family knife, although he felt heavy in his heart, he also had a trace of pride. He drew the knife out of the sheath, carefully examined, this knife body is straight, the knife surface is narrow and long, compared with the ordinary saber to grow an inch, the blade is dazzling, the cold is pressing. Under the gauntlet is engraved with four small characters of "Dengzhou Qi".

He has lived in this fishing village for more than half a month, and he is also familiar with the art of war taught by Qi Jiguang, and the Qi family's boxing and knife skills are also well understood. He estimated that the people in the court would arrive in a few days, and after waiting for the matter here, he planned to go to Huashan to visit the three elders.

One day, Qi Xiao and the two sat in the courtyard chatting, talking about firearms, Xiao Yunfan talked about being plotted by Su Changmao, and also showed Qi Jiguang his scars. Qi Jiguang said after seeing it: "This firearm is extremely powerful, if he is slightly modified in the future, it can be used to block a hundred, and it can be called the most powerful weapon in the world." "The rise of the two talking.

A woman dressed in black walked in outside the door. The woman was slender and carried a long cloth bag behind her back. She had a black veil on her face, she couldn't tell her age, and her eyes revealed a terrifying murderous aura.

The woman looked at Xiao Qi and the others, and her eyes fell on Qi Jiguang's face. said lightly: "Qi Jiguang, you are still alive after all." She spoke in a strange tone, like a child just learning to speak.

Xiao Yunfan heard her speak in a crisp voice, guessing that she was probably a young girl, but seeing that she spoke quite rudely, she was very angry in her heart: "Where are you from, a girl, shouting here, Uncle Qi's name is also your name?"

The woman snorted coldly and said, "He is named by people, what is Qi Jiguang's name if I don't call him?" Xiao Yunfan said: "You are a junior, at least you should call him an old man." ”

The woman sneered again and said disdainfully: "If I want to call it my business, others are afraid that they won't care." Xiao Yunfan was about to have a seizure, Qi Jiguang said on crutches: "The old man is Qi Jiguang, what advice do you have for me from the unknown girl?"

The woman looked at him with cold eyes and said, "You killed my father, and I naturally came to you to avenge him." Qi Jiguang's face changed slightly, and said: "The old man has killed countless people in his life, and I don't know your father's name." ”

The woman said word by word: "My father's name is Taro Fujita. He died at your hands. Qi Jiguang's heart shook slightly and said, "You are from Fusang, you actually have the courage to come to my Daming?"

Xiao Yunfan was also quite surprised when he heard this, and said secretly: "This woman is from Fusang, and his father is probably a widow." ”

The woman said, "I have come thousands of miles to Middle-earth to avenge him and to get back our hidden sword. As she spoke, she unfastened the clasp on her chest, untied the long cloth bag on her back, and took out a sword about three feet long with a slightly curved scabbard.

Qi Jiguang closed his eyes and thought about it, he did kill a Japanese robber on the battlefield back then, and got a sword book from that robber. And the so-called Qi family knife method was also created after studying this "General Outline of the Hidden Flow Knife Method".

Unexpectedly, the descendants of this widow actually came to the door. He opened his eyes and said awe-inspiringly: "Your father didn't offend my Ming territory and killed my Ming people, so why did Qi kill him?"

The woman said coldly: "No matter what, it was you who caused me to lose my father, and it is my daughter's responsibility to avenge him today."

Qi Jiguang, go get your knife, I, Fujita Sakurako, want you to pay for your blood debt, and only with your blood can I comfort my father's undead. Qi Jiguang's eyes flashed, and he said loudly: "Okay, since you avenge your father, Qi accepts your challenge." Xiao Yunfan dissuaded: "Uncle Qi, no, your old man's body is not what he used to be, it is better for Fan'er to accept this girl's challenge on your behalf." ”

Qi Jiguang waved his hand and said: "Fan'er, you go and get my Qi family knife, I also want to learn the knife skills of the descendants of the Japanese Emperor." ”

At this time, Qi Zuoguo walked in from outside the door, and he heard Sakurako's words clearly.

Qi Zuoguo put down the flat burden in his hand, piled up the firewood outside the door, strode into the courtyard and said, "Since the girl wants to teach me the Qi family's knife technique, I will come to fight." My father is old and infirm, and you want to collect your debts, so you ask me, the son. ”

Qi Jiguang said: "Guo'er, because my father knows your filial piety, since I promised to fight this little girl, how can I retreat?" Qi Zuoguo was embarrassed in his heart, but he didn't dare to disobey his father's words, turned around and walked into the house to get a knife.

Xiao Yunfan thought in his heart: "How can this Fujita Sakura, a Fuso person, blend into my Daming? There must be someone who does the internal response, who will be the one who does the internal response for her?" She named and wanted to challenge Uncle Qi Shi, obviously she came prepared, Uncle Shi's illness has improved, and he is already weak, how can he defeat this woman, and it will not be ...... It's better for me to meet her. ”
