Chapter 8 Lonely Night Jackdaw 1

As if it was not a night walker who broke into the marching camp, but just an insignificant and humble mosquito, he said casually: "Yonghua, have you found out where that woman came from?"

Li Yonghua only said that someone broke into the camp at night, and did not say how many people came, nor did he say whether the people came were men or women, but Jiang Jingzhong broke it out.

Obviously, as soon as the night pedestrians appeared in the camp area, they were discovered by Jiang Jingzhong, and judging by the footsteps of the other party, the person was a woman, maybe Jiang Jingzhong, who was resting in the camp tent, found that the night pedestrians were a few minutes earlier than their guards outside.

Thinking about this section, Li Yonghua's awe of Jiang Jingzhong deepened in his heart.

Bi respectfully said: "Qi Yu Chitose, the skills of the woman who broke into the camp at night are not profound, but the pace is very outstanding, this woman has just been captured, and her subordinates do not have the will of Chitose, and they dare not torture casually, but looking at the woman's body and martial arts, her subordinates think that she should be a good disciple on the rivers and lakes." ”

Jiang Jingzhong clapped his hands gently, and a small eunuch holding a delicate teapot came in outside the tent.

The little eunuch lightly made a cup of fragrant tea for Jiang Jingzhong, and as soon as Jiang Jingzhong raised his hand, the little eunuch also made a cup for Li Yonghua.

Li Yonghua hurriedly thanked him.

The fragrance of tea is revealed, even rough people who are not good at tasting tea can smell that this is a rare good tea, but those who are rough about the tea ceremony, only need to take a sip to know that this is the top of the previous Longjing.

But Li Yonghua knows that this Longjing is not an ordinary early Longjing, but the only royal tea tree in Longjing Temple, this tea tree can only produce more than ten catties of Longjing tea every year, and the earlier Longjing is only a few catties, it has always been a tribute to the past dynasties, and the shape and color of Longjing tea in the teacup are among the boutiques.

I'm afraid that even the imperial tea of the Son of Heaven in the palace is nothing more than that, and the folk have always said that Jiang Jing, the prince of Dongchang Factory, is loyal to the government and the opposition, and the tributes from all over the world have to be passed through his hands first.

Many people think that this is just an exaggerated rumor, but if anyone sees the tea in this cup, I am afraid that it will change their minds.

Such a superb tea is afraid that it is rare to taste a product of Dayuan in the current dynasty, but it is used by Jiang Jingzhong to entertain a subordinate, one shows Jiang Jingzhong's importance to Li Yonghua, and the other does not have a domineering spirit of superiority in the world and the earth.

This is also the reason why Li Yonghua was afraid to give a gift after receiving the tea.

The fragrant tea in the teacup is steaming like a dragon, obviously the water in the cup is still a little boiling, thinking of Jiang Jingzhong clapping his hands at will, so he summoned the tea boy, thinking that the little eunuch must be guarding the tent inch by inch, and always keep the tea hot, which requires manpower and material resources that ordinary people can hardly imagine.

Seeing Jiang Jingzhong casually lift the tea bowl, his thin lips lightly opened and gently blew out a white gas, and the boiling hot air in the teacup was blown by him, and the floating water vapor calmed down.

After blowing a sip, Jiang Jingzhong gently took a sip of the fragrant tea, but the fragrant tea in the cup had long since lost its previous hot momentum, and said casually: "Disciple of the good sect?"

Li Yonghua: "That's right, Lord Chitose, when the woman was captured by her subordinates, she clearly used Liangmen's cloud probing hand and snow step, but this girl Zhang Liang's kung fu seems to have not been practiced at home." ”

Jiang Jingzhong said with a smile: "Yonghua, in my opinion, looking at the good gate, I am afraid that the only one who can be called a practicing family by you is Jin Yuliang, who is called the God of Wealth." ”

Li Yonghua hurriedly said: "My subordinates lost their words, and I asked Chitose to punish him." ”

Jiang Jingzhong waved his hand and said, "Yonghua, how long have you been following me?" ”

Li Yonghua didn't know why Jiang Jingzhong suddenly asked about this, thought for a while and replied: "Chitose Lord, counting today, Yonghua has been by your side for seven years, six months and three days. ”

Jiang Jingzhong closed his eyes slightly and sighed: "Yes, seven years have passed in a blink of an eye, and your memory is still good, do you remember the situation back then?"

Of course, Li Yonghua remembers the scene at that time, seven years ago, Li Yonghua's entire life trajectory was changed because of that day.

When he was a teenager, Li Yonghua was a well-known young man, and he was a sword wizard, but he defeated many masters who had been famous for a long time in the rivers and lakes when he was weak.

Just when Li Yonghua was about to go one step further and challenge some famous sect leaders, rumors suddenly spread on the rivers and lakes that Shi Wanjia, the leader of the beggar gang, and a eunuch in power in Dongchang lost to the other party.

Since ancient times, although the reckless people often live in a difficult life, they can live and fight for their hearts at will, and it is you, the heroes of the green forest, who especially look down on those who devote themselves to the public and are willing to become the martial arts of the imperial court eagle dog.

Not to mention joining a eunuch force like Dongchang, it will be despised by the heroes of the whole world, Shi Wanjia as the leader of the beggar gang lost to a eunuch of Dongchang, which is undoubtedly a discredit to the people who practice martial arts all over the world, not only the prestige of the beggar gang has been greatly defeated, but also aroused the hostility of many people to Dongchang.

After hearing the news, the young Li Yonghua didn't think about it, so he turned his horse and galloped to Shuntianfu, and single-handedly broke into the Dongchang Yamen.

At that time, Jiang Jingzhong was not the director of the East Factory, but because he was deeply appreciated by the governor at that time, Chen Bao and Chen Gonggong, he was already very important in the East Factory.

Li Yonghua attacked the Yamen of Dongchang at night and defeated more than a dozen Dongchang guards at that time, and finally met Jiang Jingzhong.

No one knows what happened in the Dongchang Yamen at that time, the only thing people know is that at that time, countless heroes and heroes were indignant and came to the Dongchang Yamen of Shuntian Mansion to challenge Jiang Jingzhong.

But only Li Yonghua walked out of the Dongchang Yamen alive, but Li Yonghua, who was originally in his prime, was full of spirits, but when he came out of the Dongchang Yamen, his eyebrows were white, as if he had aged a lot overnight.

After that, the famous swordsman Li Yonghua completely disappeared from the rivers and lakes, and was replaced by a dead soldier surnamed Li under Jiang Jingzhong and Jiang Gonggong in the Yamen of the East Factory of Shuntian Mansion.

After Li Yonghua took refuge in Dongchang, there were countless people who spat on the rivers and lakes, and there were some people who were compassionate, but in any case, the power of Dongchang grew stronger day by day.

Li Yonghua's thoughts slowly returned to the present from seven years ago, and sighed: "Of course Yonghua remembers, seven years ago, Yonghua didn't know the height of the sky, and came to the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion to challenge the Chitose Lord, but after seeing the adult, he realized that his former self was just a frog sitting at the bottom of the well watching the sky. ”

Jiang Jingzhong seemed to be reminded of the memories of seven years ago, and said leisurely: "Seven years ago, this seat has not yet ascended to the position of the current governor of the East Factory, and after the battle with Shi Wanjia, the leader of the beggar gang, there are countless people who come to Shuntianfu to challenge the seat, and most of these people died in the hands of the guards of the East Factory Yamen. ”

Speaking of this, Jiang Jingzhong set his eyes on his white and delicate hands, and continued: "The few remaining who broke through the factory guards also died under the hands of this seat, and the only exception is Yonghua, do you know why." ”

Li Yonghua entered the Dongchang Yamen of Shuntianfu with high spirits, and all he wanted was to kill Jiang Jingzhong and become famous all over the world, but after really seeing Jiang Jingzhong, he realized that the gap between himself and the real master was so big, and Li Yonghua, who had no power to fight back, originally thought that he would die in this bottomless Dongchang Yamen.

But Jiang Jingzhong did not kill him at the last moment, but stopped the Dongchang factory guards who arrived and let him go.

Li Yonghua walked out of the Dongchang Yamen in despair, until he joined the Dongchang, until he became Jiang Jingzhong's subordinate, seven years have passed, Li Yonghua's skills are getting deeper and deeper year by year, but the gap between the feeling and Jiang Jingzhong has not narrowed, but has become bigger and bigger with the passage of time, until now, Li Yonghua still does not know what purpose Jiang Jingzhong let him go that day.

Is it pity? Or disdain? Or is it just that he has a good eye on his ability to sell and buy him? Li Yonghua does not know, and he does not dare to think about it.

Jiang Jingzhong's deep eyes seemed to see through Li Yonghua's thoughts, and he took another sip of the earlier Longjing in the cup, and said leisurely: "When I let you go, many people said that it was to buy you, I'm afraid you may not have such an idea in your own heart, so you came to me soon after you went out from the Dongchang Yamen, one is because you were defeated by my hands, and the Central Plains Martial Arts may no longer have a place for you, and the other is that you also believe in your heart that I have taken a fancy to you, so I will definitely accept you." ”

Li Yonghua said in horror when he heard this: "My subordinates don't dare!"

Jiang Jingzhong raised his head, his eyes seemed to penetrate the roof of the military tent above his head, traveled through time, and cast on the stubborn figure seven years ago, looking at the pride in that person's eyes, as well as the indifference to life and death.

Luo Lonely said: "Yonghua, those people are wrong, you are also wrong, I didn't kill you because I fell in love with your kung fu or to buy you, but from your body seven years ago, this seat seems to see the shadow of your youth, it is your arrogance and indifference to life and death that saved you." ”

"Soon after you went out of the Yamen of the East Factory, you suddenly joined the East Factory, on the surface, you are impressed by the strength of this seat, and you have been working hard for this seat in the past few years when you joined the East Factory, but this seat knows that the original purpose of your joining the East Factory is just to kill this seat one day. ”

Jiang Jingzhong's words were like a shock, Li Yonghua trembled, the delicate blue and white porcelain tea bowl in his hand suddenly slipped down, and the unique fragrance of Longjing suddenly spread.

Jiang Jingzhong glanced at the Yuan blue and white tea bowl that was broken into several pieces with regret, and sighed: "It's a pity~ It's a pity~" But I don't know if he is talking about folding a Yuan blue and white porcelain bowl worth a thousand gold, or the Longjing tea used in the tea bowl, or something else......

Li Yonghua fell to the ground, seemingly trembling all over, but in fact, the muscles all over his body were tense, and he said in fear: "Chitose Lord, my subordinates ......"

The cold glint in Jiang Jingzhong's eyes flashed, and he smiled: "Yonghua, don't be in a hurry to deny it first, you should know what this seat hates the most in this life?"

Li Yonghua has followed Jiang Jingzhong for seven years, and naturally knows what the Dongchang factory in front of him hates the most, and Jiang Jingzhong's most hated thing is that his subordinates lied to him, for example: When Jiang Jingzhong first became the director of the East Factory, he sent three of his men to buy goods.

The first little eunuch was sent by Jiang Jingzhong to Liulifang to buy a jade horse with good materials, this little eunuch can speak well, the red jade horse was originally priced at a hundred taels of gold, but he was clever enough to make the color fox fake tiger coercion to the price of fifty taels of gold.

After the little eunuch bought this red jade horse, he consciously saved Jiang Jingzhong a lot of silver, and when he came back to report the account, he couldn't help but think a little carefully, and reported the red jade horse as fifty-five taels, and he himself was greedy for five taels of gold.

It's just that how could he hide this little trick from Jiang Jingzhong, and it didn't take long for this little eunuch to be stripped of his skin and bones by Jiang Jingzhong.

The second little eunuch was ordered to go to Anhui to buy a few good Hui Mo, this little eunuch was exquisite, and spent fifteen taels of gold to buy several Hui Mo that Jiang Jingzhong confessed.

When he came back to report the account, in order to curry favor with Jiang Jingzhong, the clever little eunuch said that he only used eight taels of gold in Huimo, which was worth fifteen taels of gold, in order to win the impression that he was clever and capable.

But after Jiang Jingzhong found out, he ordered the little eunuch Ling Chi to be executed, and the executioner at that time was Li Yonghua, a young swordsman who was once famous in the rivers and lakes.

The third little eunuch was assigned by Jiang Jingzhong to buy his family heirloom knife from a high-roller, who hated the eunuch party and the country and the people and did not want to sell the family heirloom knife to Jiang Jingzhong, but he was forced by the prestige of the East Factory and did not dare not sell it, so he asked for a price, and the little eunuch used up the twenty taels of gold that Jiang Jingzhong gave him, and also paid twenty taels of gold in advance before he bought the treasure knife from the high-roller.

After returning to the Dongchang Yamen, the little eunuch truthfully reported the matter to Jiang Jingzhong, and Jiang Jingzhong not only did not punish the little eunuch, but gave the little eunuch this treasure knife.

Jiang Jingzhong then sent Li Yonghua to kill the high-roller who was asking for a sky-high price, and allocated all the fifty taels of gold he had snatched from the high-roller to the little eunuch.

Since then, no one in the East Factory has dared to hide anything from Jiang Jingzhong, the factory supervisor.

Li Yonghua felt the chill on his back, and knew that Jiang Jingzhong was really angry, if he said half a word of denial at this time, he was afraid that blood would be splashed on the spot, and he immediately stopped speaking, but he was still tense and ready to make a move.

Jiang Jingzhong saw that Li Yonghua acquiesced to his words, as if he nodded with great satisfaction, and turned a blind eye to these small movements of Li Yonghua's meritorious body, and said with a smile: "That's right, Yonghua, you want to kill this seat, this seat doesn't blame you, because you were too much like this seat when you were young, if you changed this seat in your situation at that time, I am afraid that you will make the same choice as you." ”

Listening to Jiang Jingzhong's penetrating words, Li Yonghua shuddered, he was defeated by Jiang Jingzhong's hands, and he was also discouraged, and he felt shameless and even thought of dying, but the arrogance in his bones made him endure humiliation and survive.

At first, he did think that the reason why Jiang Jingzhong let him go was because he took a fancy to his martial arts, and he really planned to use Jiang Jingzhong's blue eyes to pretend to take refuge under the banner of Dongchang, secretly accumulate strength and practice martial arts diligently, and wait until the day when he can kill Jiang Jingzhong.

However, the longer he stayed by Jiang Jingzhong's side, the more he could understand Jiang Jingzhong's terribleness, and gradually became less firm in his original plan, and even began to doubt himself, and he would not be able to surpass Jiang Jingzhong's peak in his life.

Now that he wanted to kill Jiang Jingzhong, his thoughts were becoming weaker and weaker day by day, if Jiang Jingzhong hadn't mentioned this matter, he seemed to have forgotten his original intention.

"Chitose-sama, Yonghua was indeed as Chitose said, but after so many years, ......" Li Yonghua just opened his mouth to explain, but Jiang Jingzhong waved his hand and said coldly: "But after so many years, you feel that you can't kill this seat, so you simply give up." ”

Li Yonghua bowed his head and said nothing, obviously acquiescing to Jiang Jingzhong's words.

Jiang Jingzhong's eyes flashed with a touch of disappointment, and he said regretfully: "Yonghua, the masters under this seat are like clouds, but even if this seat knows that you have bad intentions, it still has blue eyes for you, do you know why?"

Li Yonghua said bluntly: "My subordinates don't know. He really didn't understand why Jiang Jingzhong had to take him under his command since he knew about his plan in the first place.

Jiang Jingzhong said proudly with his hands behind his back: "Just because you are a wolf, and those people are dogs, you have the courage to kill me, and they will always only wag their tails and beg for mercy, but if the wolf becomes a dog, then ......"
