Everyone ran around, Qi Jiguang playing with his special spear.

Dang...dang...dang.

There was a knock on the door outside, and Qi Jiguang stood up and opened the door.

Xun You looked at the door, while Qi Jiguang's eyes were full of doubts.

He still asked politely:

Counselor Xun, what's the matter?

Xun You said at the door:

I want to go back today, and my family is still waiting for me.

A flash of surprise flashed in Qi Jiguang's eyes, but it was covered up. He said:

Come in first and sit down.

Xun You declined:

Now that the matter has been settled, I, a bad old man, have no use here.

Qi Jiguang thought for a while and said:

It's just a long journey, I'm afraid your body can't bear it.

Xun You immediately refused and said:

I have always accepted the bed, and it is not appropriate to rest here. I will feel at ease if I go back soon.

Xun You was determined to leave, but Qi Jiguang did not stop him.

Qi Jiguang returned to the house and continued polishing his spear without thinking much.

Before I sat down for a while, someone knocked on the door again.

He thought to himself that it was a busy day today, not allowing anyone to take a break.

After opening the door, it was his confidant.

The young general shouted:

General.

There is no war now and it is time to hand over military power. He is also confused.

He said:

What happened?

The young general took something out of his coat, handed it to him, and said,"

This is the secret message just from Taishan, Yanzhou. I sent it quickly."

Qi Jiguang waved his hand and said:

Please step back.

He went back into the house, took out a candle, lit it, and melted it.

There was a piece of paper inside, with only one sentence, but it shocked him.

Han Yi thought over and over again and decided to tell Qi Jiguang the truth.

The letter reads as follows:

Stop Xun You, stay there for three days, cause an accident, and burn the imperial edict.

Qi Jiguang quickly burned the paper, thinking that Xun You might have left.

He strode out of the house and said to the young general just outside the door:

Prepare your horses.

The young general immediately brought the bloody horse over. Qi Jiguang jumped up and sat firmly on the horse.

Drive... drive...

He ran rampant in the yard, dismounted his horse and strode into the temporary courtyard arranged for Xun You.

There was a cleaning maid working inside, and she was trembling when she saw him.

He said:

Are the people inside still there?

Several of them had low eyebrows and did not dare to speak. One of the brave maids said:"

General Qi, they just left, and they probably haven't left the city yet."

Qi Jiguang walked out quickly and got on his horse.

Driving~ driving~ driving~

He galloped on his horse at a very fast speed, and there was a gust of wind wherever he passed.

It can be said that it is running at full speed, but no one dares to stop it.

He rushed out of the compound and went straight to the city gate.

The nearest one was the east gate, and he stopped Xun You's carriage halfway.

The carriage was suddenly stopped and the horse was startled as it failed to stop in time.

Xun You was swaying inside, feeling like all the bones in his body were falling apart.

The carriage finally stopped, and he opened the curtain, ready to curse.

Unexpectedly, the person blocking the way was Qi Jiguang, and the two looked at each other for a few seconds.

Xun You knew that he would never go back.

He only said:

General Qi, what do you mean? I have to rush back to Yanzhou as soon as possible.

Qi Jiguang grabbed the horse's rope, with a smile showing his majesty, and said:

I'm afraid counselor Xun can't go back, the lord has just sent a letter.

People were coming and going on the street, and those who dared stayed to watch the excitement.

Xun You just said:

I'll go back with you. Come on, turn around.

One person, one horse, three people and one cart returned to the mansion.

Qi Jiguang told him the contents of the letter, which made Xun You even more panicked.

The more people who know, the more risks they have.

He pulled Qi Jiguang into the inner room and said:

Don't talk nonsense, be careful that the walls have ears.

Qi Jiguang still had the same expression and said nonchalantly:

This has nothing to do with me. I just swear to follow the lord to the death.

Xun You said:

This is a serious crime of decapitation. You are not afraid of death, I am.

Then he said sadly:

You fought on the battlefield and saw life and death, but I just talked about it on paper.

Qi Jiguang was helpless and said:

Don't worry, I won't talk nonsense. It's just that after the handover of military power, the imperial edict will be destroyed.

The two were talking about the critical moment when someone knocked on the door again.

Immediately afterwards, the young general outside said:

General, Liu Qi is here and has something important to discuss with you.

After hearing this, the two looked at each other, and Xun You said helplessly:

Go quickly, such an important matter cannot be delayed.

Qi Jiguang picked up the shiny spear that was polished on the table, put on his armor, and felt a heroic spirit coming to his face.

Just as he was about to go out, he went back and said,"

Counsel Xun, you should also go with me. If you can refute something."

Xun You has nothing to do here, so he goes with him.

Liu Qi was also wearing armor and had a long knife on his waist. Xun You was between the two, but he was a little weak.

Liu Qi greeted the two men and said:

There are more than 3,000 soldiers left in our army, and there is only one general left. I will list all the other details on the paper one by one.

Xun You thought Liu Qi was reluctant to leave this place and refused to give in, but he didn't expect that things would be done so easily.

Qi Jiguang only said:

I can trust General Liu, what about us now?

Liu Qi laughed loudly, took two steps forward, made a gesture of invitation, and then said:

We are here now, General please.

The three of them rode horses and arrived at the foot of the city tower. The infantry and cavalry stood neatly waiting for orders.

Yan Chong and Liu Qi stood together. They had conquered this country together, but now they gave it to others.

Qi Jiguang also understood their reluctance and just said:

Say goodbye to them.

Liu Qi said:

Us? Will Yan Chong also be transferred?

Qi Jiguang pursed his lips slightly and said:

Yan Chong is your general, and he will take office with you. You will also take care of each other.

Liu Qi hurriedly declined, and he naturally understood that if he was promoted at any time, he would actually be reducing his power.

He said:

Yan Chong has made great contributions to me, how can I confine him to me?

Yan Chong, a dignified seven-foot-tall man with some sore eyes, said:

General Qi talked to me before, and I am willing to take off my armor and follow the general to take office.

Liu Qi was very moved, patted Yan Chong on the shoulder and said:

Having Yan Chong in this life is enough.

Then they apologized to the soldiers below and announced the handover of military power.

The soldiers below had followed them through life and death, and the atmosphere was very heavy.

Qi Jiguang then stood up and said:

From today on, I am your general, and you are also my soldiers.

There was no response, and he continued:

You all come from all over the world to form this big group, and I will protect you from now on.

Hearing these words made many wanderers far away from home feel even heavier.

Qi Jiguang's words also gave them a sense of belonging.
