Chapter 143

Shi Dachuan was reading a book, and when he saw Namu'an's face of joy, he hurriedly asked: "What happened? Make you so excited? Shake it out and listen to it, let me be happy and happy." Namu'an hurriedly said, "Senior Brother Shi, I bumped into my master on the street. Hearing that Yunqing had arrived, Shi Dachuan was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Uncle Xiao has also arrived in Jinan?" "What about your master?" The person had already rushed out of the room, looking around and shouting: "Uncle Xiaoshi." Uncle Xiao, who was eating noodles below, couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Shi Dachuan's voice, and hurriedly looked up to see that it was really Master, and hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks and shouted: "Master." The man had gone up to the second-floor corridor and knelt on the ground. Shi Dachuan was even more excited when he saw Ma Xiaotian, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him up and go back to the room to sit down, first introduced him to Namu'an, and then asked: "When did you come to Jinan? Where do you live?" Ma Xiaotian wiped a handful of tears of joy and said: "The apprentice just arrived last night, and he asked several inns in a row, but I didn't want to meet the master here, I am really happy." Master, in the fierce battle that night, Uncle Baimei repelled the five monsters of Liaodong, and because he was worried about the safety of his young master, he sent me down the mountain and went to find him. But I ran into a strange thing, at dawn I met some bad gangsters of the Seven Demons of the Central Plains, not only saying that the master and he had escaped, but also that their seven masters and uncles had all worshiped under the door of the boy in brocade, and had changed the Seven Demons to the Seven Heroes. Hey, this kind of doesn't believe it. But on the way to Jinan, the characters in the rivers and lakes are talking about the boy in brocade and the seven demons of the Central Plains, saying that they are amazing, they have noses and eyes, and they are afraid that this thing is true. What's even more strange is that some people are still saying that the boy in brocade ate the bear's heart and leopard gall. It's okay to break back into the palace, but he not only stole the dragon robe of Emperor Shenzong and gave it to the three heroes of the Western Regions, but also stole the emperor's concubine as his wife, so shocked that the emperor's child was not at peace for a few days, don't you say it's strange?" Shi Dachuan nodded and smiled: "It's a little strange, but this legend is true nine times out of ten." Unexpectedly, Ma Xiaotian then said, "Master, there are more strange and strange things than this." I happened to meet Master Zu and Master Niang a few days ago. Shi Dachuan suddenly heard that his wife was still alive, it was really like a dream, and tears welled up when he was excited. "What, your sister is still alive? Let's go on. Let's go on. He clenched his apprentice's hand tightly and was speechless. "On the way back to Baiyue, I happened to meet two sisters of the boy in brocade. said that he was going to Xiuchuan Town to find the brocade boy and the white-eyed uncle. By the way, Shi Niang's injuries are serious, but after some treatment by Master Zu, she is basically fine now. The apprentice thinks about you, Master, old man. I went down the mountain first. But according to the itinerary, Master Zu and Shi Niang will come to Jinan in these two days. By the way, Master, I was in the inn last night. I met some of the brothers of the Shanghai Salt Gang and said that they had met the elder brother at sea and that he seemed to be doing well. ”

The apprentice brought so much good news, which made Shi Dachuan unhappy with each other, and the few major things hanging on his heart could finally be put down. After everyone chatted around the brocade boy for a while, Ma Xiaotian suddenly thought that he couldn't avoid the brocade boy for the rest of his life, but when he saw it, he had to talk about the teacher's inheritance, say the seniority, and call it the title, but how can this "little ancestor master" be called, then he can only ask the master for advice. "Master, you give the apprentice a clear way, if you meet that brocade-clothed boy in the future, should I call him little junior brother? Little uncle? or little grandmaster?" The pimple in the apprentice's heart is also the pimple in the master's heart, Shi Dachuan was suddenly asked, or Namu An's cleverness, and the ghost elf said: "Call him little senior brother, he suffers, and the ancestor doesn't do it." Calling him a little master, you suffered a loss, and you also harmed your master's younger generation. In my opinion, it's better to pretend to be confused than to understand, just don't know anything, call him a hero when you meet, and everyone doesn't suffer from each other. Senior Brother Shi, did you say yes?" As soon as the words fell, I heard someone laughing outside: "It's not appropriate, it's not appropriate." With Aunt Yun and her sister Yun Qingyanni supporting Mrs. Shi and walking in. "Okawa. "Madame. Shi Dachuan and his wife screamed happily, and if no one else hugged each other, they wept bitterly, and tears flowed down their faces. The Yun Gu sisters glanced at each other, and hurriedly led Ma Xiaotian and Namu'an out of the guest room one by one to the downstairs, picked a clean table and sat down, raised their hands to call the shopkeeper, took out ten taels of silver and threw them on the table. "Come to the table with good wine and good food, two jars of good wine. I want two more upper rooms, and I will pay the bill tomorrow. The shopkeeper nodded and smiled, put away the money, and left. "You. Yun Qingyanni patted Namu'an's head and said, "You are a big ghost, can you be a fool of your seniority?" If you let your ancestor listen to your little cleverness just now, even the master will not be able to save your life, so pay attention to it in the future, and don't talk nonsense." By the way, you haven't been home for years, so Master will accompany you home once tomorrow to visit your parents and brothers. Namuan was naturally happy, and hurriedly took a pair of chopsticks, and the man also brought wine and food, so he ate and drank with chopsticks. Ma Xiaotian drank the wine and said, "Since I left Baiyue, this wine is the first time I have drunk it so happily. ”

The next day, Namu'an left Jinan City with Master Yunqing and prepared some gifts, and rushed out of the customs to Tulun City. This Namuan is the second son born to the lord of Tulun City, Nikan Wailan, and the Great Fu Jin Glai, who is bold and intelligent, both knowledgeable and resourceful, and is deeply favored by Nikan Wailan, and is also the successor of the city lord of Tulun City.

Soon, the master and apprentice left the customs and stepped on the prairie, but what they saw was a different scene. However, it is said that the ice and snow in the customs melt at this time, the earth wakes up, the willow branches and buds, swaying with the wind, the green mountains and green waters, and the peach blossoms are gorgeous. However, on Changbai Mountain, it is covered with snow, the branches are continuous, the hills are covered with green shade, and birds and animals haunt the valley. However, on both sides of the Songhua River, the grass is green and flowery, the bees fly and the butterflies dance, the cattle and sheep are like clouds, and the pastoral song is melodious, which is a harmonious scene. In the bright sunshine, a few wild ducks are playing in the shallows of a tributary of the Songhua River, and a flock of small birds squeaks and flies from a distance and lands on the big trees by the river to catch small insects.

"Look, Master, the one ahead is the city of Tulum. Namuan pointed to a city on the grassland in the distance and shouted with joy, and then rode his horse and galloped, Yun Qingyanni shook his head and smiled, followed closely, and galloped into the city of Tulum in the blink of an eye. This Tulun city was originally a city of the Sukesuhu tribe, the market was prosperous, everyone was diligent, and merchants passed through this city to stop and do some business. But unfortunately, he felt that Chang'an became the governor of Jianzhou, and his son Takshi was strong and strong with his own soldiers and horses. He often bullied the nearby city and plundered cattle and sheep, and one day he would join the Litun Baturu brothers to wash blood and occupy the city of Tulun for no reason. "Master, the young city lord is back. The young city lord is back. Hearing Gonglan's shouts of joy, Nikan Wailan hurriedly ran out of the house with joy. Seeing that his son and Yun Qingyanni arrived in front of him. He said: "It's been hard all the way, get off the horse and enter the house and drink a cup of hot milk tea." Yun Qingyanni and Namuan jumped off their horses, and the subordinates waiting on the side hurriedly took the reins. Enter the house and sit down to rest. Drink hot milk tea. I also asked my son how he learned kung fu. Namuan said: "The master is willing to teach, the son is willing to learn, and he has practiced hard." Finally learn a good kung fu, and when you come back after the art is completed, you will take the life of the Tucker dog. In the evening, the delicacies were served, the wine was drunk, and after eating and drinking for three days in a row, Nikan Wailan asked Yun Qingyani to supervise Namu'an to practice martial arts in the morning, teach him to practice literature in the afternoon, and chant scriptures in the evening.

During these days, Namu'an was managed by his master so that he couldn't squeeze out a little time to play all day, and he was really irritable. Fortunately, the master returned yesterday in a hurry, and the father led the troops out to fight against other tribes, and there was no one to manage at home, so he took the opportunity to throw books and sticks, like a bird out of the cage, and sneaked out of the city with his personal maid Gonglan, catching colorful butterflies and playing comfortably. When he arrived at the flowers and weeds on the north bank of the tributary, he was engrossed in lying on his buttocks in the flowers, his big black eyes were very attentive, and he watched without blinking as two colorful butterflies flew around among the flowers, landing on the flowers and flapping their wings to collect pollen. Suddenly, a sweet call sounded behind him: "Namuan." Shocked, the two colorful butterflies spread their wings and disappeared into the flowers and plants in the blink of an eye. "Look, you scared away two more butterflies. Namu'an looked back at the maid Gonglan very unhappily, got up and patted the blades of grass off her body with her hand, and continued to look for the colorful butterfly. At this moment, there was a chaotic sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and Namu'an looked up, and saw the dust in the distance, and a large number of soldiers and horses rushing towards him, so he jumped up happily, spread his arms, and shouted, "That must be my father's victorious army returning to the city." Gong Lan hurriedly responded: "Maybe." When the team ran closer, and saw that it was indeed the soldiers and horses of Tulun City, Namuan hurriedly went up to stop the soldiers and horses, and looked left and right to see his father, and hurriedly asked his eldest brother Azab. "Where's Father?" Azab lay wounded on his horse, pointed his finger behind him and said, "We have returned victorious, and we don't want to encounter an ambush on the way, and my father is broken, ...... he rolled under his horse and fainted. Namuan heard something somehow, so he snatched a spear from the soldier's hand, jumped on Azab's horse, and commanded Gonglan: "Help my eldest brother back to the city to heal." Then he turned his horse's head and raised his spear and shouted, "There is a kind, follow me to kill and save the city lord." Then he got out with his legs between them. "Kill. The soldiers followed Namuan with a shout, leaving only a dozen seriously ill men and Gonglan to carry Azab back to the city and bandage his wounds. Gonglan asked some soldiers to find out that Nikan Wailan was ambushed by hundreds of warriors on the way back to the city, this is really Aixin Jueluo is a cow, and his in-laws are also stained, no matter who your opponent is, what about robbing your treasure.

The ambush soldier who attacked the Tulun army in this half of the road was a strong general in the Jianzhou region, surnamed Wang Minggao, who was Nurhachi's grandfather. This Wang Gao has just recently subdued a large area east of Wuling, and he is deeply valued by Jue Chang'an, and often has a small banquet for three days and a large banquet for seven days to entertain him in the mansion. Today, I had to explore the Malay newspaper, and learned that Nikan Wailan had captured a lot of treasures, thousands of cattle and sheep, and would return to Tulun City by way of here, and he was busy with five hundred wolf-like warriors to ambush here, and he succeeded. He was about to kill Nikan Wailan, when suddenly a horse arrived, and immediately the young man danced with a spear, and slashed and killed Nikan Wailan. Nikan Wailan, who was seriously injured, saw that his son had been killed, and suddenly his spirits perked up, and he raised his big knife and shouted: "Brothers, the young city lord has arrived with reinforcements, kill it." Then he and the Tulun soldiers who arrived later bravely covered up and killed Wang Gao's department. Wang Gao refused to admit defeat, and just wanted to transfer troops to resist the enemy, but let Namu'an rush to kill and mess up the formation, and saw that the Tulun soldiers were loyal and brave, and they were all vying for the lead, so he felt that the general trend had gone, and hurriedly threw down hundreds of soldiers and horses to flee to Jianzhouwei. Namuan did not chase after him, but escorted his father back to Tulun City, and the soldiers and civilians of the whole city rejoiced, slaughtered cattle and sheep to celebrate the victory, and made trouble for more than ten days in a row. Nikan Wailan listened to Namuan's construction, gave all the cattle and sheep to the soldiers and civilians of Tulun City, and rewarded the Tulun soldiers for their merits, and the soldiers and civilians were happy to raise the city. It was celebrated for many days.

Besides, Wang Gao suffered a defeat and fled back to Jianzhou Wei, feeling that he had no face to see people, so he hid at home for half a month, because Jue Chang'an invited and was afraid that it would not be good, so he took his son Ah Tai into the house to divert the attention of others. This Ah Tai is eighteen years old, just the year of standing, born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and looks handsome, Jue Chang'an is happy when he sees this. I have the heart to marry my eldest granddaughter to him. I asked Wang Gao what he meant. Wang Gao had no reason to be unhappy, so he immediately agreed, and a few days later, he started a happy event, and the departments around Jianzhou Wei took the opportunity to tie it up. Send a congratulatory gift to congratulate you. They all praise the bride for looking like a fairy. The groom is a talent, happy to feel that Chang'an immediately sealed Atai to Gucheng to do Zhangjing, and the bride and groom hurriedly thanked their grandfather for their gifts. After the wedding. Ah Tai took the bride to Guli City and took office. But Wang Gao was originally a person who flew high, and since he married his own family with Jue Chang'an, his son Ah Tai became the ancient city of Zhangjing, and he was newly rewarded by the Ming Dynasty, and he was the commander of the right guard of Jianzhou. Jue Chang'an saw Wang Gao clearly as a person, regretted that he had done something wrong, should not appreciate and marry such a villain, and when he was annoyed, he passed the post of governor of Jianzhou Weidu to his fourth son Takshi, and he told the old man at home, and never asked about official affairs.

At this time, Nurhachi and Shi Lan had already married, and after several years of preparation, the soldiers and horses gradually became stronger, and the feathers gradually became abundant, just full of people in the world waiting for a good opportunity to raise troops. According to Fan Xiucai's guidance, Nurhachi set up camp on the mountainside of Fushun, recruited troops and horses, and taught martial arts, but no one found out for more than a year. In normal times, Nurhachi and his group hunted and played, competed in martial arts, or wandered around the Ming Dynasty general soldiers and yamen stationed in Fushun. Except for Nurhachi, the rest of the people are Han Chinese, and after a long time, they will be familiar with the general soldiers, guerrilla generals, and some soldiers, such as playing game or something, they will send some over, which naturally pleases the general soldiers and others, and sometimes secretly send some weapons to Nurhachi and them, all as a return for courtesy.

At noon one day, Nurhachi, Shi Lan, Fan Xiucai, the three senior brothers, Zhao Hai, and Liu Erba sat around the table under the big tree, drinking and chatting. In the midst of the rise, there was a report from the Malays, saying that Wang Gao had often killed people and set fires, plundered cattle and sheep, and bullied weak tribes, so that Baylor was so frightened that he did not dare to go out, causing the people to complain bitterly. Nurhachi was furious when he heard this, waved his hand and sent the probe horse, and said angrily: "As the commander of the right guard of Jianzhou, this Wang Gao should have sympathized with the people and benefited one party. But Wang Gao didn't know what to do, and with 2,000 male soldiers in his hands, he killed people everywhere and plundered wealth in all directions, and if he continued to make trouble like this, where would my father's prestige be? How could those weak tribes survive? I planned to raise troops to kill him and eliminate harm for the people. You say, this should be a famous teacher, and he has not violated the master's teachings. Everyone said "yes" in unison, only Fan Xiucai shook his head in opposition, and said to Nurhachi: "Wang Gao is your grandfather, if you kill him, although you can please the people and be praised by all tribes, and you can annex his 2,000 male soldiers and increase your strength, on the surface it is indeed a great thing to kill three birds with one stone, but in essence it is not." Not to mention that killing your grandfather is unethical, in terms of long-term interests, you are also exposing your strength too early and showing your edge, which will not only do all kinds of harm but not benefit, but will also be suspected by your father. In short, your chance to raise an army has not yet come. But don't worry, if Wang Gao continues to make no trouble, even if your father turns a blind eye, it is possible for the people to rebel, even if the people do not rebel, the Ming Dynasty will not sit idly by. I deduce that in the next year or two, you will be able to find a good opportunity to conquer the tribes of Manchuria. After listening to Fan Xiucai's persuasion, Nurhachi sanitized the idea of killing Wang Qi and continued to drink.

Who expected Wang Gao to kill a lot, the courage is also strong, feel that the captivity is not enjoyable, even kill the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, this can stab the hornet's nest, and soon by the Ming Dynasty an ironclad army rushed to cover up and kill, the result is that the corpse was killed all over the field, the blood flowed like a river, Wang Gao escaped with his life, but every time he escaped to a place, there was a list of emperors who arrested him, and the list noted: "Whoever holds Wang Gao will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver." He was so shocked that he hid for a while like a lost dog, and finally was caught by the king of Hadawan Khan, who slashed him with a knife. The news of Wang Gao's killing soon spread to the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and Emperor Shenzong issued a holy decree to canonize Wang Tai as a majestic dragon and tiger general, and many small tribes also took refuge in him. After a long time, Hadawan Khan's soldiers were full of food, and his power gradually grew, so he got carried away and thought of Takshi, who lived in Jianzhouwei, and began to secretly prepare for the conquest.
