This is a noble Mongolian knife. The handle is covered with silver and gold and inlaid with large corals. Only the princes and nobles can own it. After the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, this knife became the "Batulu" rewarded by the emperor.

This knife was seized when Taziye's ancestor fought with the Qing soldiers. It can be seen that Taziye's ancestor was a hero back then. However, because he was forced to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, he was not guaranteed at the end of the year. Both the Manchu and Han tribes did not want to see him. Luo Luo

Unhappy until death.

Mr. Yi knew how precious this knife was. His eyes lit up when he saw it. He couldn't help but take it and caress it for a long time. He praised: "Baby, a rare treasure!"

How could Chen Yunyan not love it? How can anyone who practices martial arts not love the sword?

In order to worship Chan Yunyan as his teacher, Mr. Ta Zi was willing to give up his ancestral treasure. It would be unbearable if his heart was betrayed.

Chen Yunyan looked at Zhong Yishi, meaning to ask her how to deal with it.

Zhong Yishi said: "You make your own decision about accepting disciples, but you can't take Master Ta Zi's ancestral treasure."

Chen Yunyan loves that sword. Since he can't get the sword, why should he accept a disciple at such a young age? He said: "Master Ta, you are Yun Yan's elder based on your age. How dare I be your master? Since we are destined, we will

Be a friend, Yunyan is willing to teach you practical boxing techniques along the way..."

Hearing what she said, Mr. Ta Zi said anxiously: "The depth of Taoism does not depend on age. I understand the inheritance of the master. How can I dare to accept the master's skills if I don't join the master?"

While talking, Ta Ziye and others gathered Chen Yunyan into the room, forced him down on a chair, bowed his head, and kowtowed until his forehead was bloodshot, which showed his sincerity.

This person is a bit like Zhao Tiao, a straight-minded man who only recognizes his own principles and gives up his heart when he sees it right. He has no worries about gains and losses.

Master Ta Zi once again presented the knife to Zhang Yunyan. Zhang Yunyan took out the knife, admired it, walked to the yard, performed a set of sword skills, put it on the table and said: "Master Ta Zi, you friends have made an agreement that you can't have the knife."

, just keep it alive."

"Master, what is the use of this knife? It will be useless in the hands of rough people like me. You must accept it."

Zhong Yishi said: "Now that I've kowtowed, it makes no sense to refuse to admit my debt. Yunyan, you can teach Mr. Ta and others how to work here. I will come back to find you after Mr. Yi has finished my work."

Today it was Shen Tong who was on duty at Prince Su's Mansion. Mr. Yi brought Zhong Yishi to see him. Shen Tong had received a letter from He Shaobai and was very kind to Zhong Yishi.

Shen Tong and He Shaobai had a close relationship. The two of them had participated in the martial arts examination together. Shen Tong was a second-class Jinshi with the same martial arts title and was awarded the title of third-class bodyguard. He Shaobai was a third-class Jinshi with the same martial arts.

One stayed in Beijing to work as a foreman in the patrol camp, and the other joined the army and was later selected by Li Honghan to accompany him to Nanjing.

Working as an errand in the local governor's office is far more lucrative than working in the capital, and there are many Eight Banners disciples in the capital, so interpersonal relationships are complicated and promotion is extremely difficult. Shen Tong thought that the rebellious parties in the south were causing trouble frequently, and He Shaobai wanted to go to the capital to hide.

He is willing to come, and having many friends in the capital will be of great benefit to him, so of course he will be happy to do so.

Agreeing to come down to help is not something that can be done immediately. Shen Tong also waits for an opportunity to make suggestions to the prince. If he is lucky, it will be easy to get things done. If he is not lucky, he may not be able to do it after waiting for a year and a half.

When Shen Tong saw Zhong Yishi being led into the palace by Mr. Yi, he was greatly surprised. He said to himself that since He Shaobai's friend knew Mr. Yi, why bother asking me for help.

After Mr. Yi realized his interest and left, Zhong Yishi told the story of how he met Mr. Yi. Shen Tong laughed and said, "Although the capital is big, it is normal to meet a disciple of the Eight Banners while walking by. However, Mr. Yi does not go out often. Mr. Zhong is very lucky to have met him."

Zhong Yishi smiled, handed He Shaobai's gift to Shen Tong, and said, "Put it away and I'll take my leave."

"Are you going back now? Mr. Zhong is a friend of Brother Shaobai, and naturally a friend of me, Tong Shen. Why don't you stay in the capital for a few more days? I'll ask for leave tomorrow and go shopping with you."

"Captain Shen is busy with official duties, so I won't bother you much."

Shen Tong sent Zhong Yishi out of his room, and a visitor happened to be visiting. The two of them stood aside to give way, but the person who came in was Gangyi, the Minister of the Ministry of War.

Gangyi escorted the tax money to Beijing, but the delay was too long, and the Empress Dowager Cixi was very dissatisfied. Moreover, some officials and imperial officials were accused of concealing the truth about the ship hijacking in Dezhou. Cixi wanted to punish him. Prince Su Shan Qi Xiang made good friends with Gang Yi, came forward to protect him, and said a lot of good things. Cixi thought that he had done a good job in collecting tax money, so she gave him a lighter sentence and only imposed a one-year fine on his salary.

Gangyi came to Prince Su's Mansion today to express his gratitude, and unexpectedly ran into Zhong Yishi.

When he was robbed in Dezhou, the trial revealed that the daughter of the guilty minister had disguised herself as a man. Zhong Yishi was deeply impressed by her fortitude. When he saw her standing in the doorway of Prince Su's palace, he couldn't help but be in a trance.

He looked at her intently for a long time and said, "This young master looks very familiar..."

What a blessing! When Zhong Yishi thought of Shen Tong's words, he felt both surprised and panicked in his heart.

"I'm Zhong Yishi, I've met your Excellency." Zhong Yishi said calmly and saluted.

"Your surname is not Zhang?"

"Why do you say this, sir? My surname is Zhong, and my first name is Yishi..." Zhong Yishi tightened his throat and deliberately changed his voice.

"Are there two people who look exactly the same in the world?" He is determined and confident and has excellent eyesight, and will never recognize the wrong person.

Zhong Yishi was worried that he would be wrong if he spoke too much, so he did not dare to say more, and just looked at Gangyi with a smile on his face.

Seeing Mr. Shen next to Zhong Yishi, the palace steward asked, "Master Shen, is this your friend?"

"He's a friend of a friend of Shen Tong." Shen Tong became more cautious when he saw that Lord Shangshu had doubts about Zhong Yishi's identity and didn't know what the connection was between them.

"Who is your friend?" Gang Yi asked Shen Tong.

"His name is He Shaobai, and he is currently the Chief Biaobiao of the Liangjiang Governor's Mansion."

"That's weird..." Gang Yi was a little confused, so he walked down the steps and walked into the yard.

Zhong Yishi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had been fooled. Just as he was about to say goodbye to Shen Tong, Gangyi suddenly turned around and asked, "Where are you from?"

We can't hide this from him. When he was being interrogated in the Dezhou magistrate's office, Zhong Yishi pretended to be Zhang Xiu and spoke in a Beijing accent. Although it was not very similar, because he didn't speak much, Gangyi ignored it. At this time, he spoke with a Cangzhou accent. It's hard to say that they are from other places.

He said: "I am from Cangzhou."

Gangyi asked again: "Are you a man or a woman?"

When Shen Tong heard Gang Yi ask this question, he looked at Zhong Yishi and was stunned for a moment. He felt that it was unbelievable that Gang Yi, as the Minister of the Ministry of War, would say such hurtful words in public.

At this time Mr. Yi came over and heard Gang Yi's words. He had heard about it a long time ago and knew that some princes and ministers liked beauty regardless of gender. He thought that Gang Yi looked at Zhong Yishi's handsome appearance and had evil intentions in his heart, so he couldn't help showing contempt on his face.

Mr. Yi came over and took Zhong Yishi's hand and said, "Mr. Zhong, what's wrong, are you leaving now? I have prepared fragrant tea. Please come to my room to talk."
