Chapter 714: Greatly Surprised

With the martial arts of these two, it wouldn't take many days to go from the coast of Zhejiang directly to Nanjing, but Bai Lang didn't go directly to Nanjing, because the real God of War, Uncle Qi Jiguang, came. He came to Zhejiang to take office and was preparing to recruit soldiers in Zhejiang. "What else could it be? Yiwu soldiers, of course." As the Defense Commissioner of Wenzhou and Chuzhou, Bai Lang naturally had to meet Qi Jiguang.

At this time, Qi Jiguang was less than thirty years old, only a few years older than Bai Lang. Qi Jiguang wanted to recruit soldiers, so naturally, Bai Lang supervised and provided logistics. This Defense Commissioner would never make things difficult for Brigadier General Qi Jiguang. He waved his pen and directly allocated the treasury silver, grain, and weapons in his hand, without even the usual "drifting" loss. "I will make up for it, ten out of ten."

Qi Jiguang's martial arts were also very good, but they were probably not as strong as his wife's, especially since this Qi Jiguang was also an expert in two-handed knives. In the battle formation, it was estimated that he could kill "fast knives" like Tian Boguang in no more than two slashes. And Qi Jiguang had long known from the government reports and his friends and colleagues that this civil official, who was a few years younger than him, was the peerless fierce general of the world.

A fierce general who dared to charge into the thousands of troops of Altan Khan alone, from beginning to end, was this one. What was even more terrifying was that after this person charged, he could still kill more than a thousand people in the formation. If one day he could organize the 100,000 elite troops of Xuan-Da and attack Altan Khan with this person as the vanguard, he could completely defeat Altan Khan's 300,000-strong army in one battle.

And Bai Lang's appearance was also completely that of a fierce general, even more like a brave warrior than his Qi Nantang. Now that he was fully supporting Qi Jiguang in recruiting soldiers, the greatest famous general of the Great Ming Dynasty today and in the future couldn't help but worship Bai Lang as a confidant. And Bai Lang grabbed Qi Jiguang, not letting this Brigadier General worship him.

"Why do this? The world is unfair now. If it were in the Han or Tang dynasties, Yuanjie would be ascending the altar to worship generals. There is no reason to worship me, a fourth-rank official." Bai Lang's words were also quite sarcastic, but although Qi Jiguang was moved, he didn't dare to agree with Bai Lang's words in the end. The Great Ming ultimately relied on civil officials to control military officials, and the path of "leaving the army and entering the prime minister" had long been broken since the Song Dynasty... "That is why the scholar-officials are becoming more and more shameless!" Bai Lang said.

At this time, Qi Nantang had already left. The one listening to him was Dongfang Bubai. Of course, Ren Yingying and Blue Phoenix were also there as maids, but Lady Bai Xu was not. When Lady Bai Xu saw Dongfang Bubai for the first time, she was also startled, because Bai Lang said the first time she saw her that this was the Demon Cult leader who was going to be escorted to Nanjing Jin Yi Guard for interrogation.

Lady Bai Xu was very clear that her husband was an Innate expert who dominated the world—she had heard Bai Lang sing "On martial arts, who knows who is high in the secular world..." and then the big maid told her that this Master Bai's martial arts were probably already the best in the world, the best in the world. Lady Bai Xu didn't quite understand how exaggerated this was. She thought it might be stronger than her grandfather, right?

After handling the matters, Bai Lang took Dongfang Bubai and moved quickly toward Nanjing—Dongfang Bubai also kept her word, even though Bai Lang didn't restrain her at all. Once martial arts reached this level, it was almost impossible for one side to easily restrain the other. It was also difficult for Bai Lang to force Dongfang Bubai's acupoints to make her have no resistance.

"Your lightness skills are not bad." Dongfang Bubai said, looking for something to say. Her Sunflower Manual was as fast as lightning, but she certainly wouldn't be that fast on a long road, but it was also shining like a red fire. "Ten thousand miles of smoke, the turning and moving in a square inch is far inferior to your Sunflower Manual, but it is not bad for running a long road." Bai Lang said lightly while running.

These two were not people who walked through the city walls and gates obediently. They jumped up onto the Nanjing city wall and then jumped down to enter the city. Bai Lang sent Dongfang Bubai directly into the Jin Yi Guard office in Nanjing—the Ministry of Justice in Nanjing was a toy and useless. It only managed the guard stations and the criminal affairs of the various dukes and counts in the south, probably only slightly better than the Ministry of Rites in Nanjing.

What would Dongfang Bubai confess? That was the business of Sect Leader Dongfang herself, and Bai Lang didn't care much. Anyway, he went to the Jin Yi Guard to give them a reassurance—otherwise, the Jin Yi Guard in Nanjing wouldn't dare to interrogate Dongfang Bubai. The main leaders of the gangs that were really causing trouble in the Great Ming were in the city of Bansheng, and the ones colluding with the Japanese pirates were actually not the Demon Cult on Black Wood Cliff.

Bai Lang had already figured it out. Thinking about it, how could a Demon Cult in Hebei develop power in Zhejiang and Fujian in this era of local cliques? It wasn't the Great Ming government. The main ones colluding with the Japanese pirates were local powerful families and various powerful merchants, followed by local gangs, and the remnants of the Manichaeism of the Demon Cult were two different things from the current Ming Cult.

They were the authentic Ming Cult.

This Ming Cult probably only had a penny's relationship with Black Wood Cliff... Dongfang Bubai went there to relax. She didn't want to manage Black Wood Cliff at all. The problem was, what about Yang Lianting? Bai Lang didn't ask about Yang Lianting, and he didn't want to know if such a guy existed. Anyway, if Dongfang Bubai didn't do it anymore, if there was feelings, she probably already brought Yang Lianting out.

As for who was in charge of Black Wood Cliff now? It didn't matter who was in charge. Once the army arrived, they would all be finished. Bai Lang didn't get promoted, and he didn't stay in Nanjing for long—escorting Dongfang Bubai was a reason, but if he stayed in Nanjing, he would be impeached by the censors. So Bai Lang stayed in Nanjing for a day and then rushed back—of course, he also bought some gifts.

He was not a real straight man, so bringing gifts for Lady Bai Xu and the others was a certainty. It was nothing more than rouge and powder. When Bai Lang returned to the official residence, Linghu Chong was already waiting for him at the mansion. "Senior Brother, have you thought it through? Are you ready to return to Mount Hua?" Bai Lang looked at this person. After this guy came out to wander, Bai Lang saw that although he was decadent, his mood seemed to be much better than before.

This person was really suitable for wandering around.

"Then Martial Uncle, don't hide, come out." Bai Lang also sang in a long voice. If he couldn't sense Feng Qingyang's Qi within a hundred zhang, he could just smash the sign of the Innate expert. Feng Qingyang was indeed the number one expert of the Five Mountains Sword Sects. This old man was really an Innate expert. This point alone was a cut above all the sect leaders of Shaolin, Wudang, and the Five Mountains Sword Sects combined.

However, Bai Lang felt that Feng Qingyang was not as good as Dongfang Bubai's Qi. It could be said that this old man relied entirely on his understanding of sword techniques to enter the Innate realm, and he was still a little bit short of understanding the wonderful meaning of heaven and man transforming and Yin and Yang nourishing. "The weak among the Innate." The words were like this, but with a sword in hand, even Bai Lang couldn't underestimate this Martial Uncle Feng.

An old man whose appearance made Bai Lang greatly surprised appeared, wearing a green shirt and looking like the kind of person who had read a lot of books—however, Bai Lang knew that among the past Mount Hua sect leaders and disciples, now the highest academic representatives were Sect Leader Yue Buqun and him, Bai Lang, and compared to them, others were like illiterates. No merit meant illiteracy!

And the reason why Feng Qingyang's appearance made Bai Lang greatly surprised was that this appearance reminded Bai Lang of a very long childhood memory. "Isn't this the master of comedy, the cold-faced comedian, Teacher Zhou! Now he has become Feng Qingyang?!" ===== CHAPTER 715 =====
