The distance between the East and West Second Factory is not too far. After all, they are both next to the palace. It only takes half an hour.
But a lot of time had been spent in the East Factory, and by the time Yuhuatian returned to the West Factory, it was already close to Yinshi.
When they reached the gate of the west factory, Yu Huatian glanced at him and was still following behind him. Ding Xiu, who was carrying a large royal sword on his shoulder and had a ruthless look on his face, stopped and asked, "Have you thought clearly?"
The others were puzzled, but Ding Xiu understood what Yu Huatian meant. The scourge on his face subsided, he was silent for a moment, nodded, and said: "I have been wandering for half my life, without worries, running around for a few taels of silver all day long. , if you don’t give up, Ding Xiu is willing to join the West Factory and serve you.”
Yuhuatian was noncommittal, "No worries? Not necessarily."
Ding Xiu was silent again.
This time, after a long time, he spoke: "Tonight, the Jin Yiwei who wielded a pair of 'Flying Swallows' is my junior brother. His real name is Ding Xian. Master values him very much, but he ended up becoming a thief. He killed a Jin Yiwei who was chasing him and pretended to be Jin Yichuan. I am going to Beijing this time to take him back."
Yu Huatian said calmly: "He has become the most hated Jinyiwei among you Jianghu people, and yet you want to join Xichang. Do you know how people outside evaluate Xichang?"
"I know." Ding Xiu nodded.
Yuhuatian looked at him: "Give me a reason to join Xichang."
"Because through today's contact, Ding Xiu can see that Sir is different from the rumors." Ding Xiu said.
"oh?"
Yuhuatian said with great interest: "Just because I didn't kill your junior brother?"
"It's more than that, it's more of a feeling." Ding Xiu shook his head.
Yu Huatian raised his eyebrows, "Feeling?"
"Yes, it feels like it."
Ding Xiu nodded and said: "I can feel that what your Excellency is pursuing should be more than just power and fame. Otherwise, Your Excellency will not offend Hulong Villa tonight. After all, Tiedan Shenhou is the uncle of the current emperor. Doing this It’s not good for your career.”
Hearing this, Yu Huatian glanced at him in surprise, then shook his head and said: "The East and West Second Factory is just a knife in the hands of the emperor. If you want to make this knife well, you can't cooperate with anyone." People are too close to each other, especially those princes."
Ding Xiu nodded and suddenly said: "But I have been wandering around the capital these days and accidentally discovered something. This iron-gallant god is secretly collecting evidence of the crimes of the generals in an attempt to control the world's military power."
Ma Jinliang and others next to him heard this, and their expressions suddenly changed.
Yu Huatian also stared at Ding Xiu with a sharp look and said, "Who else have you told about this matter?"
"Except for your Excellency, I have never told anyone else." Ding Xiu shook his head.
Yuhuatian narrowed his eyes slightly, vaguely understanding Ding Xiu's purpose of joining the West Factory, "You want to prevent this from happening?"
Ding Xiu nodded and said: "Everyone has to do something in his life."
"I now seem to understand my junior brother's purpose of joining the Jinyiwei. What he wants may not be as simple as being promoted to a higher rank."
As he said that, Ding Xiu smiled mockingly and said, "I'm not afraid of adults' jokes. Although Ding Xiu is just a martial artist, perhaps because he also survived that troubled time, he can't bear to see the dregs of the world."
"Although the current era is dark enough, if there is another turmoil in the world, the innocent people will always suffer."
"Ding Xiu inherited the Qi Family Sword. This sword technique was passed down from General Qi Jiguang, the famous anti-Japanese general in those days. Although Ding Xiu is not talented, he does not want to disgrace this sword technique."
"Joining Xichang and doing something for the people of this world can be regarded as passing on General Qi Jiguang's will."
Hearing this, everyone fell silent.
The Ming Dynasty came from an extremely turbulent era. Over the past hundreds of years, it has experienced countless wars.
Qi Jiguang, the famous anti-Japanese general at that time, is indeed a national hero worthy of admiration.
It is also because of the succession of these sages that the Ming Dynasty can be passed down to this day.
After a moment of silence, Yu Huatian looked at Ding Xiu and said, "Not only you and your junior brother, but also your senior uncle Lu Wenzhao and your master Ding Baiying, they all have the same ambition as you."
"Lu Wenzhao is my senior uncle?"
Ding Xiu was stunned for a moment. His master Ding Baiying had never told him about this... No, how did Lord Yu know his master's name?
Seeing the surprise in Ding Xiu's eyes, Yu Huatian didn't explain too much. He just nodded and said lightly: "You can ask your master about these things in the future."
"If my guess is correct, your master may come to the capital in the future, or he may even have already come."
"She and your senior uncle Lu Wenzhao are planning a big event, which is enough to affect the turmoil of the Ming Dynasty."
Having said this, Yuhuatian looked at Ding Xiu: "You want to join Xichang. If you are on the opposite side with them because of this matter in the future, how will you choose?"
"this……"
Ding Xiu obviously hesitated.
On one side is his master, on the other side is the person he wants to follow, and he doesn't know how to choose.
"Isn't there a way to get the best of both worlds?" Ding Xiu couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, but it depends on whether they can see the form clearly. If they are still stubborn in the end, I will not show mercy." Yuhuatian said calmly.
Ding Xiu pondered for a moment, then raised his hands and said, "If this day really comes in the future, can you give them a chance? I will try my best to dissuade them. If they are still determined to go against you, it has nothing to do with Ding Xiu."
A look of satisfaction appeared in Yuhuatian's eyes. Although Ding Xiu was both good and evil, he still valued love and justice in his heart, and he also had national justice in his heart.
If not, Yuhuatian would not have thought of recruiting him.
As for his master's side, as Yuhuatian said, for Ding Xiu's sake, Yuhuatian can give them a chance to choose.
If they are still stubborn in the end, willing to die for King Xin, and go all the way to the dark side, then they can't blame themselves.
Whether it was for the ambition of his predecessor or because he knew the direction of history in advance, in Yuhuatian's heart, King Xin was definitely not the best candidate for the Ming Dynasty Emperor.
Moreover, his allegiance at the moment is to Emperor Tianqi. As the saying goes, once the emperor and his courtiers, no one can say for sure whether Emperor Xin will pass away and King Xin will be the governor of Xichang after he ascends the throne, or even whether King Xin will be the governor of Xichang. Will you allow yourself to continue living?
After resurrecting his life, Yuhuatian will never let others control his own destiny, even his current master, Emperor Tianqi, will never allow it!
One day, even if he is not the emperor, he will become the true uncrowned king of the Ming Dynasty!
It was destined that he and King Xin would one day be on opposite sides...
Yu Huatian looked at Ding Xiu and said, "You should join the West Factory first and take the position of second gear leader temporarily. We will talk about the rest later."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Ma Jinliang and others changed, especially Tan Luzi.
He is the second gear driver at the moment, and Ding Xiu has taken his position, so what does he think?
At this time, Yu Huatian looked at him and said: "Tan Luzi, there is no deputy governor in Xichang yet. I will inform your majesty in the next few days that you will take over the position of deputy governor."
"Your martial arts skills are average, but your ability to do things is good. The deputy governor does not necessarily need to have high martial arts skills. He only needs to be capable. However, all the major stalls in the West Factory must have the ability to take charge of their own affairs. What do you want me to say? , do you understand?"
Tan Luzi suddenly turned from gloomy to sunny, and his face showed joy. He quickly knelt down on one knee, cupped his hands and said: "This subordinate will never let down the expectations of the governor."
Yuhuatian nodded with satisfaction.
When Ding Xiu saw that Yu Huatian had solved the problem of Tan Luzi's position, he did not hesitate anymore. He also knelt down on one knee and saluted, "My subordinate Ding Xiu, please see the Governor."
"Get up." Yuhuatian waved his hand.
Ma Jinliang stood nearby. Although he did not speak, the sense of urgency in his heart increased greatly.
The governor's intention is already obvious. The major stalls in the West Factory will be ranked according to their strength.
He had already seen Ding Xiu's martial arts tonight, it was very powerful, even he was not sure of victory.
Now the two of them are probably in the same league.
But once Ding Xiu breaks through to the Grand Master level before him, his position as the leader will have to be given up.
Thinking of this, Ma Jinliang took a deep breath and secretly made up his mind to break through the Grandmaster as soon as possible and never be surpassed by Ding Xiu.
At this moment, Ding Xiu seemed to feel something, and glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally.
Ma Jinliang stared back without hesitation: What are you looking at?
"Okay, it's almost time. Let's all go back and rest. No one is allowed to tell anyone what happened tonight."
At this time, Yu Huatian waved his hand and said: "Over at Dongchang, send someone to keep an eye on it for the time being. The rest will be discussed after I come back from the palace today."
"Yes, Lord Overlord."
Everyone raised their hands in unison.
Yuhuatian nodded. Seeing that there was still some time before dawn, he returned to his mansion to meditate.
In tonight's battle with Liu Xi, he vaguely touched the bottleneck of martial arts, and the speed at which his internal energy was converted into Sunflower Qi became much faster.
In this case, there should be a breakthrough.
Yu Huatian is ready to give it a try and see if he can break through to the late stage of Grand Master in one go!
…
In the capital city of the Ming Dynasty, directly south of the imperial palace and close to the city wall, there was a villa covering an extremely large area.
This is the famous Hulong Villa in the Ming Dynasty, the fiefdom of Tietan Shenhou.
At this time, the main hall in the middle of Hulong Villa was brightly lit.
A man wearing a black gold python robe and a crown, with a majestic appearance and extraordinary bearing, sat on the throne above, waiting quietly.
In this heavily guarded Dragon Guard Villa, who is qualified to sit in this position, needless to say, this person is naturally the uncle of the current emperor, the famous Iron Dan Shenhou, Zhu ignored it!
scold, scold——
I don't know how much time passed, but suddenly there were two sounds of breaking through the air outside the hall, and then two figures entered the hall directly.
These two people turned out to be Duan Tianya and Guihai Yidao who were ordered to go to Dongchang to stop the unrest.
"Tianya, Yida, meet your adoptive father!"
Hearing the two voices, Zhu Wuwu slowly opened his eyes on the throne.
