I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

"Lao Li, don't hesitate, they will definitely report us when the time comes!"

"That's right, don't believe their lies. This is a crime of decapitation, and we cannot tolerate the kindness of women!"

"Yeah, don't hesitate, take action quickly and get rid of them before it gets dark. I know there is a very hidden place in the military camp that can be used..."

Looking at the tied up soldiers, their eyes looking at Lao Li were full of pleading.

They never imagined that their comrades, who usually get along day and night and feel like brothers, would actually discuss whether to kill them or not.

Time passed by slowly. I don’t know how long it had passed. The forty-year-old soldier named Lao Li seemed to have made up his mind. He came to the tied soldiers. In front of them, remove the cloth strips that blocked their mouths.

"Old Li, you..."

Seeing this, the soldiers on the side were about to step forward to stop him, but were stopped by Huang Qing's eyes.

"Flee with us. If you stay, you will only be implicated."

"I believe you should know how vicious those beasts are. You are all people with families."

After Lao Li finished speaking, the tied soldiers looked at me and I looked at you, their faces full of struggle.

They knew very well that what Lao Li said was not a lie.

On weekdays, the superior officers treated them as domestic slaves and could handle them at will. If the sergeants really fled, their positions would be in jeopardy.

In order to keep the black hat on their heads, they will do whatever they can to pry out useful information from their own mouths.

At that time, both you and your family members will be treated inhumanely.

But they were all enrolled in the military. If they were caught by the government and fled as a family, the only result would be beheading.

After hesitating for a long time, the eyes of the soldiers gradually became firm. Then, one of the soldiers stood up and said in a deep voice.

"Old Li, you are right. Even if we stay here, we will only be implicated. We might as well take a gamble!"

"That's right, run away, escape from here, take your wife and children to have a happy birthday."

"That's right. If we continue to stay here, sooner or later we will be whipped to death by those beasts."

Seeing that the persuasion worked, Lao Li couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately asked the soldiers on the side to step forward and loosen their bonds.

Later, I saw Lao Li summoning the soldiers and lowering his voice: "Tomorrow night, it will be our turn to watch the night. That will be the best opportunity. You guys pack your bags first..."

While Lao Li was still explaining to the soldiers the route to escape and what they needed to pay attention to.

Huang Qing on the side took the opportunity to wink at the soldiers around him, telling them to keep an eye on them and kill them if there was any abnormal movement.

At this moment, Wang Er and Li San, who were previously responsible for the lookout, hurried into the camp, faced everyone, and said in a deep voice: "The patrol is here!"

After everyone heard this, they quickly stopped talking and lay back on the bed as quickly as possible. Within a short time, there was thunderous snoring in the camp.

As the footsteps got closer and closer, Huang Qing could even hear his own heartbeat clearly.

At this time, Huang Qing, although his eyes were tightly closed, his heartbeat was getting faster and faster. At this time, he had only one thought in his mind.

If those few soldiers from before shouted at this moment, everything would be over and everyone would die!
Fortunately, nothing happened until the patrol's footsteps faded away.

Only then did Huang Qing truly feel relieved.

……

On the other side, in Songjiang Prefecture, there is a luxuriously decorated mansion.

This mansion is a mansion that Li Qishang, the guardian of the Thousand Households of Thousand Households, spent a lot of money to buy in the city.

This mansion is located in an excellent location, on one of the most prosperous streets in the city, and its decoration is extremely luxurious.

There are also two majestic stone lions standing at the door, holding stone beads in their mouths. Judging from the stone materials used, it is known that they are worth a lot of money.

In addition, there are majestic soldiers standing guard and patrolling at the door with swords on their waists.

At this time, in the innermost room, the sound of people drinking and drinking could be heard from time to time.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes of food, Li Qishang drank all the wine in the glass in one gulp, looked at the prefect Wang Jian not far away, with a sad face, and then spoke.

"Master Wang, to be honest, I really can't afford the three hundred thousand taels of silver now!"

"You also know that the price of silk has dropped a lot recently compared to last year. Before that, Xiaguan had already invested most of his net worth in it. Can you extend your grace for a few more months?"

When Li Qishang finished speaking, the two deputy Qianhu who were accompanying him quickly responded: "Yes, Lord Prefect, how can we get so much money right now!"

Wang Jian, the prefect of Songjiang who was sitting opposite, heard Li Qishang's words and couldn't help but sneer in his heart and said to himself: "What a bunch of ignorant people, they actually dare to bargain with me!"

After that, Wang Jian came to his senses, pretended to be embarrassed, sighed helplessly, and then said: "Master Li, we have been friends for so many years. I also understand your difficulties.”

When Wang Jian said this, he paused for a moment, changed the subject, and continued: "But I am also doing things for others. People from the Xu family have come to me several times. This money cannot be delayed any longer. ”

Seeing Wang Jian move the Xu family out, even if Li Qishang didn't want to, he didn't dare to raise any objections on this matter.

After all, the Songjiang Xu family was a well-known aristocratic family with wide connections in the court. Xu Jie, the second assistant in the cabinet at that time, was a member of the Songjiang Xu family.

Such a behemoth is far beyond what he can afford. The Xu family can easily get rid of them with just a few clicks of their fingers.

After that, Li Qishang suppressed all the chaotic thoughts in his heart, looked in the direction of Wang Jian with a troubled expression, and said cautiously: "Master Wang, to be honest, I can only afford 100,000 yuan at most." Two pieces of silver, and the rest..."

When Li Qishang finished speaking, Wang Jian glanced at Li Qishang, sneered, and said unhurriedly: "This is easy to handle. After a while, it will be the day when the soldiers are paid. What should we do then?" , I don’t need to remind you!”

When Li Qishang heard Wang Jian's words, a look of panic appeared on his face, and he lowered his voice and said: "Sir... sir, this... this is..."

Before Li Qishang finished speaking, Wang Jian waved his hand and interrupted impatiently: "Okay, Mr. Li, stop being pretentious. You have done a lot of things like withholding military pay."

"To tell you the truth, with all the things you have done over the years, you would have been beheaded a long time ago. If you hadn't been leaning against the big tree of the Xu family, you would have died countless times."

"So, is three hundred thousand taels a lot of money? From the beginning to the end, did the Xu family ask you for a penny more?"

"If you don't want to do this job, there are plenty of people who do!"

After Wang Jian finished speaking, he deliberately glanced at the two deputy Qianhu. The meaning contained in it was self-evident.

After the two deputy Qianhu noticed Wang Jian's gaze, they were overjoyed at first, and then seemed to realize something. A look of panic appeared on their faces. They turned around and hurriedly explained: "Big... …Sir, don’t get me wrong, we are loyal to you…”

Seeing this situation, Li Qishang had no choice but to suppress his unhappiness, forced out a stiff smile, looked in the direction of Wang Jian, and said flatteringly: "What Mr. Wang said is that the lower official is stupid. Don't worry. When the time comes, the three hundred thousand taels of silver will definitely be delivered."

When Wang Jian saw that the 300,000 taels of silver were settled, his face changed instantly. He picked up the wine glass on the table and said with a warm face: "I knew Mr. Li is not a short-sighted person."

After clinking glasses with Li Qishang, Wang Jian raised his head, drank all the wine in the glass, and continued to add.

"Master Li, think about it, with the big tree of the Xu family behind you, are there still many places to make money in the future?"

"With three hundred thousand taels of silver, I can get connected with the Xu family. This is a blessing that many people can't ask for. If it weren't for the sake of our long-term friendship, if it were anyone else, I would have to accept him. Six hundred thousand taels!”

Seeing that the conversation had reached this point, Li Qishang could only nod his head no matter how reluctant he was: "Master Wang is right. When the time comes, the Xu family will ask you to put in a good word for me."

"Easy to say, easy to say."

After hearing what Li Qishang said, Wang Jian immediately patted his chest and agreed without hesitation.

Seeing this situation, the deputy Qianhu who was accompanying him stood up with great insight and suggested: "My lords, since the official business has been discussed, come on, let's have a drink!"

"cheers!"

……

After the banquet was over, Li Qishang and the two deputy Qianhu who were responsible for accompanying him put the drunk Wang Jian on the sedan chair.

After Wang Jian's sedan chair went away, the expression on Li Qishang's face instantly "changed from sunny to gloomy."

He gritted his teeth and looked like he was choosing someone to devour: "Wang, I hope you won't fall into my hands one day, otherwise, I will make you regret coming to this world!"

Seeing this situation, a deputy Qianhu immediately stepped forward and asked cautiously: "Sir... Sir, what should we do next? That is three hundred thousand taels of silver. How can we get it out now?"

When Li Qishang heard this, he glanced at the deputy Qianhu angrily, and then said: "Now that the situation has come to a point, what else can we do, we can only harvest the mulberry leaves as soon as possible and sell them."

"Calling all those pigs to me tomorrow, we can harvest the remaining mulberry leaves."

When Li Qishang finished speaking, he saw a deputy Qianhu next to him, with a trace of hesitation on his face, and said cautiously: "Sir, the soldiers have been exhausted recently in order to harvest mulberry leaves. If it happens again..."

However, before the Deputy Qianhu finished speaking, he was coldly interrupted by Li Qishang: "Why, do you want to disobey my order?"

The deputy Qianhu who had spoken out the admonishment, after noticing the look in Li Qishang's eyes, decisively chose to shut up and swallowed the rest of the words that he had yet to say.

"Sir...Sir, you have misunderstood. I am just worried that there will be trouble."

"It doesn't matter. Even if I lend them ten more courages, they won't dare to do anything. Just do as I say."

When Li Qishang heard this, he waved his hand indifferently and then spoke.

"Yes, sir!" Seeing that Li Qishang had already made a decision, the remaining two deputy Qianhu could only nod in agreement.

On the other side, Songjiang Fucheng, inside the government office.

After drinking a bowl of hangover soup, Wang Jian sobered up a lot. Whenever he recalled what happened at the banquet, Wang Jian became furious.

"This Li Qishang is really tough, and he actually dares to use excuses to prevaricate me!"

"You lost money, what does this have to do with me?"

"What a ungrateful thing. It seems that I have to find a time and replace him with someone more obedient."

After that, Wang Jian suppressed all the chaotic thoughts in his heart, waved his hand, summoned his cronies, and gave instructions: "You will go to the Xu family in person later and tell me about the two hundred thousand Two silver coins will be delivered on time."

"Yes, sir!"

Naturally, the confidant did not dare to show any hesitation to Wang Jian's instructions. After responding, he stepped out of the room.

……

One night passed in the blink of an eye, and the next morning, in the military camp.

After spending a restless night, Huang Qing and other soldiers who were determined to escape had packed their bags and made relevant preparations.

Just wait until it's their turn to be on duty at night, and they can take the opportunity to escape.

Early in the morning, Lao Li gathered all the soldiers who decided to escape and gave his final instructions: "When we get down later, we will act according to the original plan."

"Notify your family members when it's time to inform them. Also, don't forget to bring dry food."

At this moment, Wang Er and Li San, who were on lookout at the camp entrance, hurried in and said in a deep voice: "It's not good, Wang Baihu has brought someone here."

"what!"

This sudden change caught everyone present by surprise. No one expected that Wang Baihu would bring people here in person.

"Could it be that the news was leaked and Wang Baihu came to arrest him?"

Suddenly, such an idea flashed through Huang Qing's mind.

After that, Huang Qing came back to his senses and exchanged glances with Lao Li who was not far away. Lao Li just shook his head and didn't say much.

Then, there was a burst of chaotic footsteps, and then Wang Baihu's figure appeared in front of everyone, followed by several soldiers behind him.

After Wang Baihu entered the camp, he immediately faced everyone and gave instructions: "Inspector Li, take your people with you and follow me."

Seeing this situation, Lao Li suppressed his inner uneasiness and asked cautiously: "Sir... Sir, what happened?"

Hearing this, Wang Baihu couldn't help but have a look of irritation on his face. He held the sword in one hand and the whip in the other, and explained impatiently: "There is so much nonsense, and there are still so many mulberry leaves that have not been harvested!"

"Hurry up, if it delays things, don't blame me for being rude!"

When Wang Baihu finished speaking, all the soldiers in the camp breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, they couldn't help but feel a little angry in their hearts.

Obviously they had just been sent to harvest mulberry leaves yesterday, so as usual they should have a day off today, not to mention they had to stay up late at night.

Lao Li also thought the same. He saw a flattering smile on his face and said cautiously: "Master Wang, we just went to help harvest mulberry leaves yesterday. As usual, we should have a day off today. Besides, it is our turn tonight." We are on night watch, you see..."

Before Lao Li finished speaking, he was greeted by the whip in Wang Baihu's hand.

"Damn it, where did all this nonsense come from? I don't care about it. If you delay the things above, I'll see how I deal with you!"

After Wang Baihu finished speaking, maybe he still felt angry, so he took the riding crop in his hand and whipped Lao Li a few more times.

At this time, the burning pain coming from the wound made Lao Li almost break his teeth. A little blood seeped out from the wound, almost soaking through the clothes he was wearing.

In order to prevent himself from screaming, Lao Li had no choice but to hold on, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

"Lao Li, are you okay?"

Seeing this, the soldiers on the side quickly stepped forward and supported Lao Li's body.

At the same time, the remaining soldiers in the camp also looked at Wang Baihu with resentful eyes.

After Wang Baihu noticed the gazes of those soldiers, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty. He subconsciously took two steps back and raised his tone.

"What, do you want to rebel?"

When the soldiers following Wang Baihu saw this, they immediately stepped forward, stood in front of Wang Baihu, and put their hands on the handle of the knife.

Seeing this situation, a soldier with a hot temper wanted to step forward and fight for his life, but was stopped by Huang Qing.

Seeing that many soldiers in the camp did not take any further action, Wang Baihu breathed a sigh of relief, sneered, and then said: "Humph, I'm sorry you don't dare, you will be under my control next, don't worry. , I will take good care of you!"

Wang Baihu emphasized the word "care" in his tone.

After that, Wang Baihu's cold eyes, like poisonous snakes, glanced across the faces of many soldiers in the camp, snorted coldly, and left the camp.

When many soldiers in the camp saw this situation, they knew that they had been hated by Wang Baihu. Next, Wang Baihu would definitely try every means to retaliate against him.

At this time, Lao Li could see that the emotions of many soldiers in the camp had reached a critical point. At this time, they were like dry firewood poured with kerosene, and only needed a spark to ignite.

Afterwards, Lao Li gathered his thoughts, faced everyone, shook his head, and comforted him: "Oh, I'll be fine after today!"

After Lao Li's words fell, the soldiers in the camp who were originally filled with righteous indignation gradually calmed down.

They knew that this was Lao Li trying to persuade them not to be impulsive. A small impatience would mess up a big plan. They must not let this small thing affect the big things in the evening.

After taking a deep breath and calming down, many soldiers in the camp walked out of the camp after finishing packing.

Later, under the leadership of Wang Baihu, he went to help harvest mulberry leaves.

……

And Wang Baihu did not break his promise. He did "take good care" of these soldiers. During the process of harvesting mulberry leaves, as long as these soldiers moved a little slowly, what awaited them was a merciless whipping.

Perhaps because of the previous incident, Lao Li, who was on patrol, received the most whippings. In the end, Lao Li had no strength to even walk and was carried back to the camp.

In the evening, everyone in the camp looked at Lao Li lying on the bed, dying, with unbearable expressions on their faces.

Looking at Lao Li, who was bloody and bloody, with no good spot on his body, Huang Qing and the faces of the soldiers present were filled with unconcealable resentment.

At this time, a soldier was carefully pouring gold sore medicine on Lao Li's back.

"Okay, no need to waste it."

At some point, Lao Li woke up, shook his head, and spoke to stop the soldier.

Many soldiers in the camp saw Lao Li waking up and quickly gathered around him, their faces full of concern.

Huang Qing looked at Lao Li who looked relieved at this moment, with a look of worry on his face, and asked: "Lao Li, how are you?"

After hearing Huang Qing's words, Lao Li shook his head inconspicuously, licked his chapped lips with his tongue, and said slowly: "I can't do it anymore. It's our turn to be on duty tonight, and then you will lead everyone." , escape."

"Find a peaceful place and live a peaceful life."

Seeing that Huang Qing wanted to say something more, Lao Li waved his hand to stop him from continuing.

"Okay, I know what you want to say. With my current physical condition, it would be a burden to carry me with you. I won't be able to hold on for long."

"Besides, even if I escape, where can I go?"

When Lao Li said this, he smiled miserably, and then coughed a few times.

Seeing this situation, Huang Qing on the side quickly stepped forward and comforted him: "Old Li, you will be fine. You just need to rest in peace and cultivate yourself for a while."

Lao Li did not comment on Huang Qing's remarks. He understood his physical condition and was about to die.

Then, he was seen clutching Huang Qing's hand with a ferocious look on his face: "Run, run, run away!"

After saying this, Lao Li seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and the expression on his face gradually became calm.

Huang Qing only felt that the hand that had previously clenched his hand gradually became weak and slowly loosened it. When he looked at Lao Li again, he had made no sound.

When a soldier next to him saw this, he immediately stepped forward, felt his breath with his hand, and shook his head.

And this, without a doubt, announced the death of Lao Li.

At this time, there was dead silence in the camp, and no one spoke.

Everyone felt as if there was something stuck in their hearts, making them feel depressed.

Time passed by so slowly. I don’t know how long it had passed, but I heard an undetectable voice: "Shall we escape?"

When Huang Qing heard this, his eyes flashed with hatred, he clenched his fists and said decisively: "No, I want to stay and kill those beasts!" (End of Chapter)
