Chapter 91: The Green Dragon
Kurosawa led Jiang Wangchen to step in from the main gate of the Ling Mansion, at first Jiang Wangchen was still a little weak-hearted, but it seems that the attendants are all respectful to Kurosawa, and even a little afraid, it seems that Kurosawa's status in the Ling Mansion is definitely not low, Jiang Wangchen also has confidence in his heart, so he walks with his head held high.
When I came to the main hall of the Ling Mansion, I was talking and laughing with Ling Cang in the rain.
When the two saw Jiang Wangchen and Kurosawa coming in, they stopped the cup in their hands, and before they spoke in the rain, the laughter had already echoed in the world, and said, "Hahaha, sure enough, the hero is a young man...... Come on, come on, do here. In the rain, he stopped Jiang Wangchen to sit beside him, and poured a full cup of tea for Jiang Wangchen with his own hands.
Jiang Wangchen was flattered and saluted: "Junior, Jiang Wangchen has seen his senior. ”
Ling Cang also looked up to the sky and said with a smile: "Qinglong Holy Envoy, this is the young man you said who listened to your song in the rain!
After he finished speaking, he turned to Jiang Wangchen and greeted him with a smile: "Jiang Wangchen, you and my Ling family don't know each other." ”
Jiang Wangchen heard this pun, and saw Ling Cangdui smiling, and said politely: "The younger generations have offended a lot before, and I still hope that the Ling patriarch Haihan." ”
Jiang Wangchen raised his glass to apologize, and Captain Yan actually broke in angrily with several entourage.
"Patriarch, you have to vent your anger for me, this thief not only sneaked into the dungeon, but also injured the guards of our Ling Mansion, and injured my brother a few days ago, you can't just say a few words!"
Ling Cang was a little embarrassed, and said with a straight face: "Captain Yan, didn't you see that there are distinguished guests today, don't be rude, don't retreat quickly." ”
Captain Yan reluctantly said: "Patriarch, this kind of compromise is not a loss of our Ling family's prestige and face." ”
In this sentence, it was undoubtedly not to roast Ling Cang on the stove, Ling Cang suddenly lowered his face, and also made the atmosphere become solidified.
Suddenly, Qinglong laughed in an uproar: "Patriarch Ling, what Captain Yan said is right, it was Wangchen who offended first, so let's do it, I have a backbone of the Demon Clan's Ice Pattern Tiger, so I should pay for Jiang Wangchen." ”
"The backbone of the Ice Tiger!" Ling Cang and Captain Yan exclaimed in unison.
This ice-streaked tiger is only born in the northern ice and snow mountains, the number is extremely rare, and it is famous for its powerful frost attribute attack, and there are usually tiger claws in the black market, which can be made into a hidden weapon, and it is highly respected by people who practice martial arts, if there is this backbone, then ...... Made of bone swords, although it is not comparable to an artifact, it is definitely a first-class weapon. A tiger bone dagger once appeared in Yancheng, and it is said that it won ten thousand gold.
Qinglong was not in a hurry, took a sip of tea, slowly put the tea into his throat, and continued: "It is an adult ice-patterned tiger backbone, which is enough to build a long sword." He paused, put down the teacup again, and said gently, "One more gun." ”
The air fell silent again, and only when Captain Yan swallowed his saliva, the Adam's apple rolled and "grunted".
How could Jiang Wangchen be so kind in the rain, and wanted to get up to argue, but was gently pressed in the rain.
Seeing this, Ling Cang smiled and said, "Captain Yan, this is the Qinglong Holy Envoy of Wangshui Villa, and I have not thanked the Holy Envoy for his generous gift. ”
Captain Yan, who reacted, said slowly: "I don't know Taishan with my eyes, I don't know the Qinglong Holy Envoy, I was reckless just now, I hope the Holy Envoy will forgive me." ”
"People who practice martial arts are inevitably upright, and they will say whatever they have in their hearts, and the old man can understand it. ”
Ling Cang saw that the atmosphere was harmonious, and said, "Captain Yan, if there is nothing else, you can step back first." I would like to have a few more words with the Messenger......"
Captain Yan nodded, looked at Jiang Wangchen with a complicated expression, paused for a moment, and still respectfully retreated.
Ling Cang said: "I don't know what the Holy Envoy's visit to the Ling Mansion is about?"
Qinglong smiled: "I just want to visit my old friend Kurosawa." ”
Ling Cang said: "Hei Ze, you have a friend like the Holy Envoy, you should have introduced me a long time ago." ”
"Patriarch Ling, his temper can't say a word for a long time, you still count on him!" After Qinglong finished speaking, he laughed with Ling Cang, and said, "But it's not too late for you and me to meet today." I heard that your Ling family has obtained a vein of Xuaniron. ”
Ling Cang turned his eyes to look at Kurosawa and said with a smile: "I didn't expect the news to spread so quickly, speaking of which, this is still Kurosawa's credit......
"I don't know if the Ling family wants to cooperate with our Wangshui Villa. Qinglong put away his smile and said, "The reward at that time is not comparable to a single backbone. ”
Ling Cang heard it right, when he was talking about the backbone, he added the words "just one". He quickly weighed in his heart, this Wangshui Villa is also a new force in the past five years, located in the rugged mountains of the Wangshen Plateau, this villa acts mysteriously, so little information about him is known, I heard that the number of people in the villa is not more than a hundred, but each of them is a first-class master. In the past few years, whether it is to pacify the Banshee of the West Sea, or to help the Demon Imperial Army repel the Snow Demon in the North, he has made great contributions, and it is rumored that the villa has given the Demon Royal Army a large amount of funding, and it seems that it is indeed the master of the wealth.
After pondering for a while, Ling Cang said: "Most of the credit for discovering this dark iron ore belongs to Kurosawa, and Kurosawa is an old friend of the Holy Envoy, so it stands to reason that Kurosawa should be in charge of this matter." Ling Cang coughed dryly twice, and continued: "But now everyone in this Yancheng City knows that this vein belongs to the Ling family, and the big family has also gotten the news, so this matter is no longer something that we can solve in private, let alone Hei Ze can call the shots, if my Yancheng Ling family rashly cooperates with you at this time, this is a violation of the Ling family's family law, not to mention that the life of the Ling family in this Yancheng is not guaranteed, even your Wangshui Villa may not be able to avoid disasters." I'm old and have children, I just want to have a good family, and all those fame and fortune are already flashy for me...... Holy envoy, the old man is really old. ”
Ling Cang couldn't help but sigh while holding his long white beard in the end.
Seeing this, Qinglong also felt a little empathetic, and said: "Yes, time is ruthless, the years are like a shuttle, come and come, we salute this old time." ”
After speaking, he drank this cup of tea with everyone heartily, and said: "What the patriarch thinks, Qinglong naturally understands, can't reach cooperation today, and don't hurt the harmony of the two families." There will be a long time to come, and there will definitely be a chance in the future. ”
Ling Cang drank two more sips of tea before he spoke: "Yes, but according to the provisions of the Ling family's family law, anyone who discovers minerals will receive two out of ten, except for eight out of ten who belong to the family. In this way, I will sell my favor here and give these two points to Wangshui Villa. It's also a reward for Kurosawa!I don't know what the Holy Envoy wants?"
"This is a ......," Qinglong hurriedly waved his hand and refused.
Ling Cang interrupted and said with a smile: "Holy envoy, please listen to me, this dark iron ore is useless in my hands, at most it can only be exchanged for silver taels, but if it is given to Wangshui Villa, first, it can attract a favor from Wangshui Villa, and second, this vein is really the credit of Kurosawa alone." Come again, the old man hopes that when the Ling family in Yancheng is in danger in the future, Wangshui Villa can help the Ling family. ”
Ling Cang's words are concise and to the point, and he is full of truth.
Jiang Wangchen looked at the slow-speaking but earnest old man in front of him, where is a patriarch, more like an old man who has grown old but can't let go of his heart, explaining the fate of the family after a hundred years.
Qinglong pondered for a long time, but nodded and agreed, not because of this benefit, but because of the understanding and sympathy in his heart, he even had a little illusion of sympathy, and now he is not the same as running around day and night, burning the last wax torch for Wangshui Villa......
"Okay, then the green dragon is here to thank the patriarch for his kindness. I, Qinglong, also promise you that as long as Wangshui Villa is in Dongxuan for one day, I will do my best to protect the Yancheng Ling family. ”
The two elders talked happily with each other, drank a few cups of tea, and it was not until noon that Qinglong pulled Jiang Wangchen to retire.
At this moment, in the Wind and Dust Inn, Qinglong, Hei Ze and Jiang Wangchen sat down.
Qinglong asked Hei Ze first, "Hei Ze, what do you think of Ling Cang." ”
"Old!" is a few words, better than endless words.
"What about the old man!"
"Don't dare to argue!"
"You, it's so boring...... Qinglong smiled and turned to Jiang Wangchen again, "How is it, have you calmed down?"
"Senior Yu, Xiao Jiang is already sober. ”
"When you reach my age, you know that time is limited, and there are many things you want to do, but you don't have time to do them. Qinglong sighed, the wine and food were a little cold, but he turned to laugh and said, "Fortunately, this drinking and singing is Nai's favorite in life, and it doesn't take too much time." Come, after sobering up, drink this wine again, in order to taste the flavors of life. ”
said that everyone did a lot of white.
"Senior, Xiao Jiang already has some ideas about the problem you left that day, and I ask my seniors for advice. ”
"Tell me about it!"
"If the cockroach knows the time limit of life, whether it is happy or sad, who knows, but as human beings, the length of life is limited, but the width and dimension of life are infinite, and we can fill life more colorful in a limited time. ”
After hearing this, Qinglong couldn't help but put down the big bowl and stared at Jiang Wangchen with his eyes like a torch.
Just as Jiang Wangchen was being stared at in his heart, Qinglong suddenly shouted: "Good, good, good!"
Shocked that the guests all cast strange eyes, Qinglong didn't care at all, and said to himself: "At a young age, it's really amazing to have this awareness, it's really amazing." ”
Jiang Wangchen was not surprised, on the contrary, he was a little depressed, and said, "But what can broaden the height and dimension of life...... And the length of life is not fair, and there are often jealous talents, although there is a thorough understanding in my heart, but when it comes to reality, there are thousands of shackles, and there are all kinds of shackles. ”
"Why, haven't you waited for the person you're waiting for. ”
"That's hard to put into words, hey......"
Qinglong was careless, like an old naughty boy, and said, "It's okay, we still have so much wine, talk slowly, we won't finish talking about it tomorrow...... Anyway, I don't care if I have a drink. ”
Jiang Wangchen suddenly shouted: "Little Liu, let's have a few more appetizers." Hey, where is the shopkeeper?"
The head of the shopkeeper was not raised, and the abacus in his hand rang out: "Xiaoliu, I see that as soon as you come in, he runs out, you say that there are so many guests now, and you still run out......"
The shopkeeper chattered and talked a lot, and the seamless cooperation with the constant dialing of the plan in his hand, the business of the inn is the height and dimension he pursues in this life. In the abacus, the beads that have been running around between two points all his life are doing every calculation accurately, which is his height and dimension.
