"Lan Qiyi."

Yu Shizhang narrowed his eyes and said, "General Yunhui's second son has Yan Fengci as his disciple. Yan Fengci is quite cruel as a master, pushing his apprentice out to cause trouble. Whatever, he's just a little playboy. Why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken? We old guys won't go. Shen Zheng, you just go and take a look."

Shen Zheng nodded.

There was really no need for Yu Shizhang and the others to show up. Just coming over to take a look was giving Lan Qiyi face.

There is also an unwritten rule among the powerful people in the capital - if the younger generation causes trouble, the younger generation should solve it, and the elders should not act rashly.

If an elder from another family steps forward rashly, he will be accused of "bullying the weak".

However, this is only the apparent statement, there are deeper reasons - the elders are powerful, and every move they make can cause a storm, and their every word and action can affect the court situation, so that in the end, it evolves into a party struggle.

Shen Zheng didn't know whether Lan Qiyi was instigated by Yan Fengci.

But what she knew was that Yan Fengci would never dare to show up in person. If he showed up at this moment, he would only end up losing face.

After all, there was only Hua Jiangdong behind him, and next to Yu Shizhang stood General Lin and several others.

After sending Yu Shizhang and the others back upstairs, Shen Zheng stood at the door and watched for a while, then turned around and said a few words to Hua Duo, who then left.

After Hua Duo left, she did not go out immediately, but went to the bookshelf area and asked Zhuang Quanye and his sister to help her find a book.

......

Shen Zheng had long heard of General Yunhui's great name, Lan Youguang.

It's said that military officers have an easier time getting promoted than civil officials, but General Yunhui's first half of life was like moldy tofu being held in the hand of fate and repeatedly kneaded. The word "unlucky" almost permeated his first half of life.

I heard that he joined the army at the age of 14, and his unfortunate life began - his leg was kicked off by a horse as soon as he touched a weapon, and he lay in the wounded camp for three months.

Everyone said he would be a deserter if he left the camp, but who would have thought that he would directly ask to learn how to feed horses.

But the warhorse had a bad temper and would show its displeasure if it was a little unhappy. In the second month of feeding the horse, one of his fingers was bitten off by the horse. But he still persisted in feeding the horse and was kicked by the horse again, breaking his bones.

In the blink of an eye, he was eighteen years old. He joined the army to march north. Before he reached his destination, he fell into an ice hole. When he was rescued, he was half dead.

Later, when war broke out in the north, his superior, the captain, feeling that he was a tough guy, asked him to accompany them to escort food and fodder. But halfway through the journey, he fell seriously ill.

But the food and supplies could not be delayed, so the team left him at a beacon tower halfway, saying that they would pick him up when they returned.

He waited and waited there, but after a year he never saw the returning team.

Unable to wait any longer, he asked the beacon tower garrison for permission to return to the Northern Army. However, most of the soldiers guarding the beacon tower were demoted and could not bear to see him prosper, so they found excuses to keep him.

I stayed like this for another four years.

During these four years, he had to do all the dirty and tiring work. The soldiers stationed at the beacon tower were afraid that he would run away, so they tried every means to find him a wife. The girl lived in a small village dozens of miles away, and the beacon tower went there for shopping.

He really liked the girl, and he would go to see her every time he went shopping. As he looked around, he found out that she had a son, Lan Qiyi's brother, Lan Dadan.

After Lan Dadan was born, Lan Youguang completely gave up the idea of ​​returning to join the Northern Army and instead stayed at the beacon tower peacefully.

Another eight years passed in this way.

Just when I thought my life would pass by like this, a war broke out in the north. The commander was killed and the battle line was approaching the beacon tower.

At that time, he gritted his teeth and thought - it's impossible. His wife and child are still behind him, and his wife is pregnant with Lan Xiaodan. If he can't stop the rebels, his Lan family is afraid that they will be extinct.

With this kind of energy, he held on to the last can of kerosene in the beacon tower and, with the mentality of "I'm going to die anyway", he actually burned most of the enemy's food supplies.

With no reconnaissance, no tactics, and no brains, he really frightened the enemy and waited for rescue.

At that time, many people said that the more than ten years of bad luck he had experienced before were a prelude to this night of fame.

But Lan Youguang always felt that it was the baby in his wife's belly that brought him good fortune. Without this lucky baby, he would not be able to achieve anything.

So this lucky baby was given a nice name when he was born. He specially asked a learned person to give it to him. It was called Lan Qiyi - with his youngest son, he, Lan Youguang, was like an eagle with wings.

After Lan Qiyi was born, he successfully returned to the Zhengbei Army and became a lieutenant in the army. Just as he thought, Lan Qiyi was really very lucky for him. After he returned to the Zhengbei Army, everything went smoothly.

First, he led his troops to successfully attack the enemy camps twice, and then led his men to intercept the enemy's food supplies. After that, he won several great victories.

In the blink of an eye, he achieved outstanding military achievements and was recalled to the capital, where he was granted the title of General Yunhui. As the head of a group of military commanders from humble backgrounds, the Lan family received many preferential treatments, even allowing them to compete with the Lin family, a family of military commanders.

He returned to Beijing once a year to see his beloved son.

Once before leaving Beijing, he prepared generous gifts and took Lan Qiyi with him to become Yan Fengci's disciple.

His favorite saying was, "Dad's life was marred by his illiteracy. You must study hard and become a respectable civil servant in the future. As for fighting on the battlefield, Dad and your brother are all you need. Our Lan family must be both civil and military."

As for why he said that "he suffered from illiteracy", it was because after returning to Beijing, he published a biography for himself, titled "The First Half of Yun Hui's Life".

Because he was illiterate, he dictated his biography. When the ghostwriter was writing it, he repeatedly told him that his experiences looked ugly when written in the local dialect and suggested that they beautify it.

He refused to listen to advice and insisted on having others write whatever he wanted to say.

Not surprisingly, after the biography was published, he was ridiculed by officials of all ranks in Beijing for half a year.

Because he said in his biography - the horse only broke my left leg, but it forgot that I am a man who stands tall and upright, and I have two legs besides my left leg.

He said - the reason why Da'er Dadan is called Dadan is because when he was born, his egg was really big.

He also said - when the food and grass were being burned, I entered the horse camp and stepped on horse manure all the way. If I ran fast, it would splash into my mouth. I was hungry at that time, so I took two sips and swallowed it.

He was the one who published the book, but Lan Dadan was the one who was embarrassed, so Lan Dadan followed him and left Shangjing, leaving only Lan Qiyi and Madam Lan in Beijing.

Lan Qiyi has been praised as a "lucky star" since he was a child, so he is lawless. Even though he later became Yan Fengci's disciple, he did not restrain himself at all.

He respected Yan Fengci only because the title of "Disciple of the Chief Priest" allowed him to walk all over the Imperial College. As for the relationship between master and disciple? Actually, there was not much.

But the reputation of the Imperial College and Yan Fengci is his face.

Today, the territory of the Imperial College was taken away and his master Yan Fengci was slapped in the face. Naturally, he could not sit still and brought his men to seek revenge. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by a maid just as he rushed to the door of the reading building.
