Chapter 20 Thousands of Floating Clouds 1
The night is like ink.
If it is said that the camp of the Qi family army on the opposite side is like a low-lying tiger.
Then the side of the Dongchang camp is more like a poisonous snake that chooses people and loves people.
It has been a few days since the shadowless stick Feng Shaoting and the knife locker Mo Yuan took people away.
But there is still no news from Guangdong, which makes Jiang Jingzhong, the governor of the East Factory, a little anxious, perhaps what he is most worried about happened, if Zhang Jingxiu and Gu Youdao and others really get the support of Qi Jiguang, the governor of Guangdong, or even shelter, then this time the action of going south to exterminate the chaotic party can basically be called a failure.
can't rely on the general trend to crush these 'chaotic parties', the only opportunity may be in the martial arts forces such as Wang Siyi, the official beggar head that Wandering Soul Sang Jian contacted.
In fact, if you count it up, among the martial arts forces that dare to make trouble and resist Dongchang on the rivers and lakes, the beggar gang is not the strongest force, whether it is the Xuanluo Divine Sect, or even an emerging force called 'Tianhuomen' that has suddenly emerged in recent years, its strength alone is much more than the beggar gang that is suffering from internal and external troubles.
However, the terrifying appeal of benevolence and righteousness accumulated by the beggar gang for thousands of years is not comparable to any other sect, which is why since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang did not hesitate to spend his blood to envelop one of the beggar gangs.
Over the past hundreds of years, the power of the officials and beggars has grown stronger and stronger under the protection of the imperial court, and they have gradually been able to influence and even replace the original beggar gang.
If this goes on for a long time, I am afraid that in a short time, the original beggar gang will completely disappear from people's field of vision, and will be replaced by a 'new beggar gang' controlled by the imperial court, such a new beggar gang can not only help the imperial court infiltrate into the entire Central Plains martial arts, and even through this new gang, the imperial court can re-establish a pattern of rivers and lakes that can be controlled.
And these beautiful plans have been messed up by Gu Youdao, the current leader of the Beggar Gang, although this Gu Youdao's martial arts are not as good as Shi Wanjia, the former leader of the Beggar Gang, but he is far better than Shi Wanjia with a strategic plan.
Soon after Shi Wanjia's death, Gu Youdao had just rectified and pacified the beggar forces, so he gathered the beggar gang disciples from Tiannan and Haibei to uproot the official beggars buried in the beggar gang in Jiangnan.
Originally, according to the current downfall of the beggar gang, the power of the officials and beggars with the support of the imperial court was not inferior to the slightest, but what the court and Jiang Jingzhong did not expect was that Gu Youdao actually used the reputation established by the beggar gang for thousands of years to set up a banner of righteousness, calling on the benevolent and righteous people in the world to fight against the officials and beggars to resist Dongchang.
The strength of these heroes of the rivers and lakes gathered far exceeded the expectations of the imperial court, if it were not for Jiang Jingzhong's timely response, the power of the officials and beggars in Jiangnan would almost be destroyed by Gu Youdao and his people in one fell swoop.
This finally made the imperial court determined to completely exterminate the beggar gang, Jiang Jingzhong was sure that if there was no Qi Jiguang in the way, the beggar forces led by Gu Youdao would have been wiped out under the iron hooves of his Dongchang army.
However, after such an incident, it reminded Jiang Jingzhong that the reason why the tiger is a tiger is because it has sharp claws and strong limbs, and in order to ensure that he is not injured by the tiger, it is time for him to consider pulling out a few sharp teeth of the tiger in front of him.
But the extent of this is to be weighed clearly, how to be able to pull out sharp teeth without being injured by the tiger.
Jiang Jingzhong was thinking in his heart when his ears suddenly moved.
With Jiang Jingzhong's current martial arts, the sound of the entire camp probably couldn't escape his perception, but just now he was shocked to realize that someone seemed to suddenly appear in the camp.
And the place where this man appeared was not far from his tent.
Jin Yuliang felt the murderous aura that suddenly appeared in the luxurious tent not far away, and sighed: "Was it discovered so soon!" Originally, Jin Yuliang thought that he could touch the outside of the other party's tent unconsciously, but he didn't expect that at this time, when he was still ten feet away from the person's tent, he was seen through by the other party.
He didn't dare to slack off at the moment, took out something from his arms and threw it on the ground, and retreated to the north.
Not long after Jin Yuliang left this place, Jiang Jingzhong appeared like a ghost where he had stayed before, frowning at the things thrown on the ground.
It was a token made of pure gold, and this kind of token was only available in the current imperial court, the current Holy God Sect Wanli, the Empress Dowager Li and his Jiang Jingzhong.
And the style of the token in front of him turned out to be exactly the same as the token that Divine Sect Zhu Yijun had given to Jiang Jingzhong before.
The person who suddenly appeared just now was the master of the Great Inner sent by Zhu Yijun of the Divine Sect?
Although this is too inconsistent with the past habits of Divine Sect Zhu Yijun, the unique token of the Divine Sect in front of him is clearly placed there.
Jiang Jingzhong took out a silk handkerchief and picked up the token.
After the token left the ground, Jiang Jingzhong found that there was a small piece of bright yellow silk pressed under the token.
Unfolded the silk, and there was indeed a handwritten word on it, to the effect that Shenzong Wanli had sent a great inner secret agent, and there was a very urgent task to be explained to Jiang Jingzhong.
This matter was very important, and the secret agent could not be seen by anyone other than Jiang Jingzhong, Jiang Jingzhong looked at the secret letter and the token, although he always felt a little suspicious.
However, Jiang Jingzhong, as the eunuch of Si Li's palm print, of course could recognize that the handwriting on the secret letter was indeed the handwriting of Shenzong Zhu Yijun, and the secret letter was stamped with the imprint of Shenzong Wanli.
Even that golden order is exactly the same as the token given by the Divine Sect in his hand.
After retreating from the factory guards who came here, Jiang Jingzhong chased in the direction where the previous 'secret agent' had fled.
Sure enough, not long after leaving the camp, I saw a man in black standing there, as if waiting for someone.
The man in black was hidden in the black from head to toe, only two eyes were exposed, like a ghost in the night, this man saw Jiang Jingzhong coming out of the Dongchang camp from a distance, and turned around and ran north without saying a word.
Jiang Jingzhong only said that this place was not far from the camp, and the secret agent sent by Shenzong Wanli thought that he was afraid of being discovered, and he did not suspect that he was following him.
The man saw that Jiang Jingzhong was walking faster from behind.
The two of them were fast, and after a while, they had already left the left side of the Dongchang camp, but the man in black in front obviously had no intention of stopping.
After walking for a while, Jiang Jingzhong felt more and more bad, and he wanted to catch up with the secret agent in front of him to ask for clarification, but as soon as he increased his speed, the man in black in front of him also sped up.
When Jiang Jingzhong did his best, he was faintly inferior to the person in front of him.
The pupils shrank, although there were countless masters in the Deep Palace, but it was impossible for the person in front of him to be so skillful, if there was such a master by the side of the Divine Sect.
It is impossible for Jiang Jingzhong to be ignorant......
In an instant, he went through every word and deed before and after this person's appearance in his mind.
Quietly appeared in the Dongchang military camp, and after he found it, he left a token of the current saint and a scroll of oracles, whether it was a token or an oracle, there was no flaw in it, even Jiang Jingzhong initially believed that this person was really a secret agent sent by Emperor Wanli.
But now that I think about it, it seems that all this man's actions were to transfer himself out of the camp, and even the edict that was completely inconsistent with the habits of the Divine Sect was also for this purpose, right......
Thinking of this, Jiang Jingzhong suddenly stopped, and the man in black in front of him also stopped when he saw him, as if he was waiting for Jiang Jingzhong, but he still didn't speak or approach.
Seeing the reaction of the man in black, Jiang Jingzhong had no doubts, and hurried to the direction of the Dongchang camp, he was almost certain that he had fallen for the opponent's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, although he still didn't know how the man in black got the imperial token, and how he imitated the handwriting of Shenzong Zhu Yijun vividly, so realistic that even he, the eunuch with the palm seal of the celebrity, couldn't tell the truth from the fake.
However, these are not the things he has to consider now, the other party is deliberately trying to lure him out, if it is not for the heavy army master in front of him who wants to kill him Jiang Jingzhong, then it must be a plot against the Dongchang camp.
No matter what the above purpose is, he shouldn't continue to stay here, but he should rush back to the Dongchang camp as soon as possible.
The man in black saw that Jiang Jingzhong did not chase after him and even began to retreat, so he panicked, and wanted to use words to cover Jiang Jingzhong for the first time, but this person's voice obviously changed the timbre in some way.
Jiang Jingzhong didn't have the heart to entangle with him, and turned a deaf ear to this person's shouts.
The man in black was even more urgent, and undid undo his mask, revealing his true appearance under the mask.
Jiang Jingzhong glanced at the man's appearance, and the steps he was about to take stopped again.
The person who sent the token and the edict to lure Jiang Jingzhong out of the Dongchang camp turned out to be Jin Yuliang, the master of the Liangmen Sect that he had thought he had eliminated.
"It's you!" Jiang Jingzhong's tone obviously showed a hint of surprise.
Jin Yuliang smiled: "That's right, Master Jiang, it's just below." ”
"You're not dead. Jiang Jingzhong said as he quietly took a few steps forward.
"Jin was helped by nobles, so he was lucky enough to pick up a life, and today I came to greet Master Jiang well. Jin Yuliang said that he hurriedly took a few steps back, keeping a relatively safe distance from Jiang Jingzhong.
Jiang Jingzhong said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the Golden Gate Lord would be so good that he would be able to meet that 'old immortal' wandering around." He saw that Jin Yuliang was on guard, but he was not too close forward.
Jin Yuliang said: "Please forgive Jin for being stupid, I don't know who the old immortal in Jiang Dugong's mouth refers to, if you say that the king of Hades is his old man, Jin really saw it when he was dying, his old man is very worried about Lord Jiang, I hope you can take the time to see him." ”
Jiang Jingzhong said lightly: "Jiang someone doesn't know how many people he has sent to see the king of Hades in his life, but he doesn't know how to go to the palace of Hades, so it is better for the master of the Golden Gate to lead the way for Jiang someone." ”
Jin Yuliang said with a smile: "Jiang Dugong said that he was joking, you have been in charge of Dongchang for many years and have been 'doing good deeds and accumulating virtues' everywhere, so why do you need someone to guide the way, sooner or later the king of Hades and his old man will come to you." ”
Jiang Jingzhong said: "Master of the Golden Gate, let's not play dumb riddles, the head of Xuanyuan saved you once is your life, I hope you still have such luck next time." ”
Jin Yuliang was puzzled: "What does Jiang Dugong mean by this, isn't the master of the Xuanyuan Sect obeying orders under the adult's account, otherwise where did you get the Xuanyuan Five Poisons." ”
Jiang Jingzhong's eyes flashed with coldness and said: "The Golden Gate Lord actually knows the Xuanyuan Five Poisons, which is a big surprise to Jiang someone, it seems that Jiang someone is not good at entertaining the distinguished guests." ”
"However, as long as Ling Yuan is a guest in the house, the lord of Jinmen will definitely come and go, and Jiang will definitely greet him at that time. ”
Hearing Jiang Jingzhong mention Jin Hanya, Jin Yuliang changed his face and said: "Jiang Dugong, the little girl is young and ignorant and offends Huwei, why should you have the same knowledge as her, now that the punishment has been punished for many days, the anger is gone, please raise your noble hand and let her go." ”
Jiang Jingzhong said: "Since the Golden Gate Lord has spoken, Jiang Someone is not easy to refute your face, if you want to say that it is not impossible to let Ling Yuan go, as long as the Golden Gate Lord can agree to Jiang Someone's two conditions, then Jiang Someone will immediately order the release." ”
Jin Yuliang was talking to Jiang Jingzhong while anxiously calculating the time, now that he and Jiang Jingzhong have been entangled for so long, if everything goes well, Xiao Yao and Zhang Yide should have infiltrated the Dongchang camp.
But until this time, he still didn't see Zhang Yide's signal of success, so he could only stubbornly continue to delay: "I don't know what the two conditions proposed by Jiang Dugong are, Jin is willing to hear them in detail." ”
Jiang Jingzhong said with a smile: "Actually, it's not a big deal, Jiang heard that the Liangmen has collected countless treasures in the four seas in the past dynasties, and even 'borrowed' a lot of treasures from the palace and hid them in extremely secret places. ”
Liangmen has stood in the rivers and lakes for hundreds of years, and the heads of the past dynasties are all giant thieves who amazed the world, and the treasures stolen from generation to generation are unknown, although the yellow and white vulgar things are sold to help the people of the world.
However, priceless treasures such as the flywheel in Zhang Yide's previous hand and the golden silk soft armor given to Xiao Yao by Jin Yuliang have all been treasured, and the place where the treasure is hidden has been passed down by word of mouth among the heads of the good sects in the past dynasties.
The iron law of the good gate is that even if the owner of the good gate wants to take out the treasures in it, he must replace it with a treasure of the same value from the treasure house, because after so many years, the priceless treasures in the treasure house of the good gate have increased unabated, and it can be said that it is a precious treasure today.
It's just that the Liangmen are full of good thieves, and the location where such a sect buries treasures is naturally extremely difficult to find.
Legend has it that the place where the treasure is buried is not only very secret, but also the mechanism is full of dangers under the operation of dozens of generations, unless the people of the Liangmen inheritance are willing to say the location of the treasure and explain the secret, others will never be able to find and take out the treasure inside.
What's even more strange is that there were many people who couldn't find it, and in anger, they wanted to besiege and kill the people of the Liangmen inheritance out of a certain psychology, so that the treasures of the Liangmen would be silent forever.
It is true that there have been several masters of the Liangmen Gate who have been framed and died, but the inheritance of the Liangmen and the secret of the hidden treasure have been passed on in some way.
Until Liangmen gradually faded out of the sight of people in the martial arts, the whereabouts of the disciples became more and more uncertain, and the craze for the treasures of Liangmen gradually subsided, and there were even rumors that in fact, Liangmen did not have a so-called secret treasure at all.
Jiang Jingzhong apparently heard about the legend of the Liangmen Secret Treasure out of nowhere, and apparently he didn't think it was just a legend.
After Jin Yuliang heard Jiang Jingzhong's first request, he hesitated for a while and then agreed: "Okay, just as Lord Jiang wants." ”
Jiang Jingzhong squinted his eyes and said: "The Lord of the Golden Gate is very good, what Jiang wants is not some mundane things, but the ancient treasures collected by the good men of the past generations for thousands of years. ”
Jin Yuliang said indifferently: "These treasures are just dead things in preciousness, as long as I can save Ya'er's life and keep my good door safe, what does it matter if these things are handed over to Lord Jiang." ”
Originally, Jiang Jingzhong put forward this first condition, but he never thought that Jin Yuliang would agree to it, after all, there are not many people who have the same idea as him for thousands of years, and the masters of the Liangmen Sect in the past generations do not know how much coercion they have received, but they have not heard that the secret treasure of the Liangmen has really been obtained by anyone.
Could it be that he Jiang Jingzhong's luck is too good, the previous generation of Liangmen master Yun Sihai looked down on Jin Yuliang, the current door master known as the God of Wealth is just a soft egg without integrity, or the woman named Jin Hanya is too important to Jin Yuliang, so important that he can give up everything.
Any of these points is very possible, but in Jiang Jingzhong's eyes, it is completely impossible, he did not even put forward the next condition for Jin Yuliang to merge Liangmen under the East Factory, but stared at Jin Yuliang's eyes in the distance with deep eyes and said: "Master of Jinmen, I remember that you also have a personal disciple named Zhang Yide, right?" ”
Jin Yu's conscience tightened, and he said without changing his face: "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from Master Jiang, Jin does have such an unsuccessful disciple." ”
Jiang Jingzhong said lightly: "The Golden Gate Lord is too modest, the Lingtu is called a fake Zhang Fei in the rivers and lakes, and it is said that the imitation skills are still higher than the Golden Gate Master." ”
As he spoke, he took out the token and the edict left by Jin Yuliang before, and exclaimed: "These two things are supposed to be from the handwriting of the disciples, and they are really vivid and ingenious, and even I, the closest person to the emperor, can't see the slightest flaw, so the young genius, I don't know if the master of the Golden Gate can introduce Jiang Mou." ”
Jin Yuliang said with a smile: "It is his blessing that the inferior apprentice can get Lord Jiang's blue eyes, but my apprentice is naturally active and uncertain, and I, as a master, often can't find it, if I have the opportunity, I will definitely bring him to visit Jiang Dugong." ”
Jiang Jingzhong raised his eyebrows and said: "Oh yes, why does Jiang think that today is a good opportunity, and the apprentice Zhang Yide is only afraid that he is a guest in my Dongchang camp at this time." ”
