After chasing for a while, Du Bu found that there was a person lying in the woods in front of him.

After a closer look, isn't this Wang Daochang? He hurriedly called a few times, only to hear Wang Yangming reply weakly:

"Brother Xian, I'm really old, I can't even beat the waste Mo Shengqi!"

Then he asked Du Bu not to forget:

"How is my mentor and his old man doing now?"

Du did not forget to hesitate and said:

"Senior Yu, I'm afraid it won't be long before he sees this!"

Wang Yangming hurriedly said to Du Yifu:

"Hurry up and take me to see my mentor and his old man!"

Du did not forget to wait for Wang Yangming to finish speaking, so he hurriedly carried Wang Yangming on his back and returned to the outside of the Hengshan faction hall.

At this time, only Yu Taisong said to Du Yiyi and Wang Yangming:

"Yang Ming, you're back!"

Wang Yangming crawled to Yu Taisong's side and said:

"Master, are you waiting for me?"

Yu Taisong sat on the ground and held Wang Yangming's hand tightly and said:

"Yang Ming, I can't support my teacher for long, if you have the opportunity to go back to Wudang one day, help me bring a few words for Ziyi!"

Wang Yangming nodded with tears in his eyes.

At this time, I only heard Yu Taisong say:

"For more than 30 years in charge of Wudang, although there is no merit, but there is no fault, I hope that Ziyi can save the Wudang foundation in the future, it is enough, don't listen to his words and ruin the foundation of Wudang for hundreds of years!"

Then he said:

"If Ziyi looks for a successor in the future, he must be loyal, honest, and strong-willed, so that he can be the blessing of Wudang!"

After speaking, he gradually let go of Wang Yangming's hand and fell down directly.

Wang Yangming was crying for a while, and Du Buyi and others next to him also unconsciously left tears.

On the second day, when everyone was planning to escort Yu Taisong's coffin back to Wuwu, Wang Yangming had a letter from home, writing:

"The eldest son Xian'er is seriously ill and in danger, and her husband will return as soon as possible to see Xian'er for the last time, Mrs. Zhang!"

I, Wang Yangming, were even more sad when I saw this letter, and I didn't know what to do for a while.

It turned out that Wang Yangming once adopted the son of a cousin, that is, the eldest son Xian'er, because his ex-wife Zhu couldn't have children, and he loved this Xian'er very much, how could he not feel uncomfortable when he heard the news.

Seeing this, Du did not forget to persuade Wang Yangming for a long time, asking him to go back to Shaoxing with the two of them for the time being, and then return to Wudang to worship his master after seeing his eldest son Xian'er for the last time.

Wang Yangming hesitated for a long time, then agreed.

Du did not forget to let Xi Siqi and other women escort Yu Taisong's coffin back to Wudang for him, found a few fast horses, and took Wang Yangming straight to Shaoxing.

As a result, in the rainy and snowy weather for several days at this time, the two of them got lost in November, and unknowingly arrived in Dageng County, Nan'an Prefecture, at this time Wang Yangming fell ill again.

When Du Buyi was about to go to find Lang Zhong for Wang Yangming, he was stopped by Wang Yangming.

Wang Yangming asked Du Buyi to find some students for himself to come here first, and wanted to leave some last words for the students, Du Buyi was also very uncomfortable, so he took Wang Yangming to a small boat by the river to settle down temporarily, and he went to let Dageng County Ling find nearly ten Wang Yangming disciples from all over the place to come to the boat.

I only heard Wang Yangming say to the disciples first:

"There is no good and no disgusting body, there are good and malicious movements, knowing good and knowing evil is conscience, and doing evil for good is a thing!"

All the disciples said in unison with Du Buyi:

"The disciples know!"

At this time, Wang Yangming said again:

"This heart is bright, and what can I say!"

Then beckoned Du Bu to get into his boat, and said in Du Bu Bu Fu's ear:

"Do you still remember the Taoist priest you met when you were ten years old? That's me, in fact, you don't forget the origin of this name, I just hope that you will not forget your family and country, the people, and your original intention in the future, you have done it now, I am very pleased!"

Then he fell beside Du Buyi.

Du did not forget to hug Wang Yangming at this time and shouted a few times:

"The royal road chief... Wang Enshi... Wang Shangshu... You don't sleep for me... Wake up... Wake up..."

After shouting for a long time, Wang Daochang still didn't open his eyes again, and Wang Yangming's disciples on the side came over to persuade Du Yiyi, saying:

"Since the teacher has passed away, Master Hou, don't be so sad, let the teacher leave quietly!"

Du did not forget to cry and send Wang Yangming's coffin back to Shaoxing with everyone.

Passing by the people along the road, they came to see Wang Yangming off at this time, and the entire Jiangxi and Zhejiang realms that passed by were wailing all over the wilderness.

After Wang Yangming's coffin arrived in Shaoxing, the eldest son Xian'er's illness suddenly recovered, and he felt guilty when he learned that his father Wang Yangming died because he came back from a hurry to see him.

After dealing with Wang Yangming's funeral, Du did not forget to return to Suzhou, and when he was having dinner with Xiaoyi Tang Yan, a eunuch came to the emperor's imperial decree, Du did not forget to quickly stop the dishes and chopsticks, and knelt down with a few people to receive the order, only to listen to the father-in-law read:

"Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: Jingbian Marquis Feng Shihui and Nanjing Military Department Shangshu Wang Yangming together to pacify the southwest rebellion, the credit is very high, but Wang Yangming has passed away, I want to reward Jingbian Marquis in the palace, please return to Beijing as soon as possible to wait for the reward, admire!"

Du Buyi accepted the order, and then sent his father-in-law away.

On the second day, Du Buyi didn't have time to wait for Xi Siqi and the others to come back, and he didn't take Xiaoyi and Tang Yan with him, and went to Jingshi on a canal boat alone.

When he passed through the boundary of Shanyang in Huai'an Prefecture, he found that there was a ship blocking Du Buyi in front of him.

Du Bu Cheng took a closer look, and found that the ship in front of him looked very delicate and elegant, and there was a pavilion on the ship, and a young boy was standing in the pavilion and greeted him again.

After the two boats met after a while, Du Yiyi saw clearly, isn't this son the Wu Chengen who played a monkey that he saw a few years ago?

At this time, Wu Chengen also walked to the bow of the boat and said to Du Yifu:

"Feng Jingluo, I heard that you are going to Jingshi, right? I also want to go to Jingshi to play, can you go along?"

Then continues:

"This is the boat that my little brother carried for you!"

Seeing this, Du Bu didn't forget it, and it was not easy to push back, so he said hello to his boatman, and jumped onto Wu Chengen's boat with his luggage.

After Du did not forget to get on the boat, he was pulled by Wu Chengen to the pavilion in the attic, where a table of banquets had already been set up, and it seemed that Wu Chengen had already prepared.

The two chatted while eating wine and food, and took a boat to the north.

I only heard Wu Chengen ask:

"Feng Jingluo is not forgotten, Brother Du?"

Du Buyi was taken aback, and then asked Wu Chengen:

"Brother Wu, how do you recognize me?"

Wu Chengen smiled and replied:

"I met Brother Du, your wife, Miss Xi, he told me!"

Du did not forget and replied:

"I see!"

Then he said:

"I don't know where Brother Wu met my wife Siqi?"

Wu Chengen recalled, it turned out that more than two years ago, Xi Siqi went to Beijing to take care of Xi Shu on the way to pass through Huai'an Mansion, the canal was blocked at this time and could not move forward, just Wu Chengen passed here, he recognized Xi Siqi, and invited Xi Siqi to live in his house for a few days, and the two talked about things that they would never forget.

Du did not forget to say to Wu Chengen again:

"Thank you, Brother Wu, for taking care of my wife, I have been busy with military affairs in the past few years, and I haven't met her much, and she hasn't had a chance to tell me Brother Wu about your hospitality to her!"

Wu Chengen said with a smile:

"It's okay, I see Brother Du this time, you actually have something to ask for!"

Du Buyi also smiled and asked:

"I don't know what you have to ask for, Brother Wu, if I can do it, I will definitely help you!"

Wu Chengen hesitated, and then asked:

"Brother Du went to Jingshi this time, and it is very likely that he will be transferred to the land of the Northwest Hetao, right?"

Du was stunned for a moment, and quickly said:

"How could Brother Wu know that I was going to be transferred to the Northwest Hetao?"

Wu Chengen said again:

"I heard that now the imperial court Hetao is empty of defense, the Tatars have repeatedly committed crimes, and the imperial court is unwilling to abandon the painstaking management of the Hetao area for nearly a hundred years!"

Then he slowed down for a moment and said:

"Since the last time Yang Yiqing, the first assistant, returned to Beijing from the northwest to govern for His Majesty the Emperor, there are no generals available in Hetao and the northwest region, and now Brother Du has just won a big victory over the bandits in the southwest, and the emperor is anxious to transfer Brother Du back, presumably he wants to send you to Hetao and other places in the northwest!"

Du Bu sighed and said:

"Brother Wu really understands the meaning of the imperial court better than me, the Marquis of Jingbian!"

Then he asked:

"I don't know what Brother Wu wants me to ask for?"

Wu Chengen said:

"I want to beg Brother Du to take me to the northwest, I want to go over there to have fun!"

Du did not forget to smile again and said:

"Brother Wu wants to go over there to play, just go by yourself, follow me, I'm afraid I will be entangled in military affairs and won't have time to take Brother Wu to play!"

Wu Chengen said again:

"It would be inconvenient for me to go by myself, if Brother Du you take me there, wouldn't I just go wherever I want?"

Du did not forget to reply:

"Yes!"

Then he said:

"But the northwest frontier is very dangerous, Brother Wu, you have to be cautious!"

Wu Chengen continued:

"My hobby and ideal since I was a child is to explore, travel, and write books, if I am even afraid of this danger, how can I talk about ideals!"

Du Buyi walked over and patted Wu Chengen on the shoulder and asked:

"Where are you going to visit in the Northwest?"

Wu Chengen thought for a while and replied:

"Of course, it's to go to Shazhou, Turpan, and Yarkand!"

Du was taken aback and said:

"These places are now under the control of foreign races, and if you go, you may not be able to keep you safe!"

Wu Chengen saluted Du Yi with a bowl of wine and said:

"I've explained everything, Brother Du is still unwilling to take me there, is it because he looks down on my brother?"

Du didn't forget to think about it, and replied:

"Okay, if the imperial court really orders me to preside over the northwest military affairs, then I will try to take you there!"

Then he also gave Wu Chengen a glass of wine.

At this time, Wu Chengen bowed to Du Yiyi and thanked him, and the two began to eat wine and food again and talk about their ideals.

After talking, Du Chengen also found that Wu Chengen was indeed knowledgeable and extraordinary, but it was a pity that the imperial examination system of the imperial court hindered his career.

It can also be seen that Wu Chengen at this time is also a young man who is arrogant and dares to fight, and he lacks a little reality training.
