All Offerings for Quick Enlightenment, Who Needs Arduous Cultivation?

Tai'an Mansion, armed military camp.

The military camp did not appear silent under the cover of night. The firelight was lingering and the heads were swaying. From a distance, it looked like a ferocious beast that could lust after humans, opening its dark mouth.

In the large tent of the Chinese army, Qi Huan, who was in full armor, bowed to the person sitting in front of him and said in a deep voice:

"Father!"

The person occupying the first seat is a middle-aged man with a good appearance, wearing a loose military robe, with a silver-patterned belt tied around his waist, his long hair tied up, and his eyes like a torch.

There was an invisible power of a superior person all over his body.

After Qi Huan finished speaking, his identity became self-evident.

He is the fifth-rank captain of Tai'an Prefecture's armed forces, the highest military attache in more than ten military camps in Tai'an Prefecture, and controls nearly 10,000 troops in Tai'an Prefecture. He is one of the only two official giants, Qi Sanjia!

It was also the person who Jiang Che tried so hard to get closer to.

"Here you go, sit down."

Qi Sanjia responded casually, without even raising his head, still processing official military documents with his head down.

Qi Huan nodded and sat aside obediently, not daring to disturb his father's work. He sat upright and thought about the reason why his father summoned him overnight.

The relationship between him and his father Qi Sanjia is actually a bit strange. He is not as close as an ordinary father and son. However, he has never lacked the care he should have. However, on weekdays, he rarely bullies others based on his relationship background. .

Because Qi Sanjia had already issued strict orders not to bully others unless absolutely necessary.

Even though this is a well-known secret in the official circles of Tai'an Mansion, the more it is like this, the more it must be kept in the open to avoid suspicion.

'Snapped'

After Qi Sanjia finished writing the last stroke, he placed the fine langhao pen in his hand on the inkstone, blew lightly, folded it slowly, and put it into the envelope on the side. Then he raised his head and glanced at Qi Huan.

He said calmly: "All relationships have been cleared. Within three days, you will set off for the main branch to break through the Xiantian. After that, I will order the elite cavalry you created to be sent to the border."

"Thank you father!"

Qi Huan nodded heavily and suppressed the excitement in his heart.

Transferring from the border prefecture to the border is not an easy task, but it is also not that simple. From top to bottom, there are at least a dozen holes that can be pinched.

Without a backer as a background, even if he wanted to serve the imperial court, he would not be able to do so.

"A few years ago, when I was transferred to the border guard, I worked under a general. I have a good relationship with him. When you arrive in the north, you can visit him first as a source of support."

"yes."

After Qi Huan responded, the atmosphere became a little stagnant.

He wanted to break up, but he didn't know what to say at this moment.

"Bianguan is a meat grinding ground. Even if you are innate, you are just an ordinary person. There are many powerful warriors. And most of the connections of the Qi family are in the southeast. You are determined to go, and your father cannot stop you.

But you must remember to be cautious, life is the most important thing, and never risk your life just for the sake of some trivial achievements. "

After a long time, Captain Qi warned.

"My child understands."

Qi Huan nodded.

"Is that Jiang Che very close to you?" After another moment of silence, Captain Qi suddenly asked, as if he had finished talking about serious business and started talking about some casual matters.

"It's pretty good."

"You gave him my father's badge and lent him soldiers and horses. Do you know what he did?"

"What he told me was to suppress bandits."

"Suppress bandits." Qi Sanjia chuckled:

"He did more than just suppress bandits. A letter came from the government office, saying that Jiang Che led his troops to directly suppress the county government office, and made the magistrate of Yanggu County angry in person. He was extremely arrogant and domineering.

Do you know this? "

Qi Sanjia stared at Qi Huan.

"I can guess it."

Qi Huan didn't dare to deny it, otherwise his father would think that he didn't know people well.

"What benefit did he give you?"

"Thirty thousand taels of silver."

"Thirty thousand taels of silver" Qi Sanjia tapped his fingers on the table, looking thoughtful.

"This guy named Jiang is willing to give it up. Can he take it out?"

Thirty thousand taels of silver may not be much to him, but to ordinary people, this is already an astronomical amount of wealth, and can even build a military camp with less than a thousand people.

"Although I have only met this person a few times, I think highly of him. He is not an ordinary person."

Qi Huan said after considering.

"What's so unusual?"

"I have investigated this person. Just a few months ago, he was just a fisherman who had just completed his military service and would be transferred to the border to work as a civilian husband. But soon, he turned around.

First, he gained the attention of a commander, and then he caught the eye of Zhu Sheng, and was taken to Yanggu County to take up a post. In just over a month, Yanggu County was turned upside down.

It completely broke the situation in Yanggu County and gave the county magistrate Zhao Mingcheng a headache, but what the child valued most was not his ability to do things, but his speed of practice.

The last time I saw him was a few days ago. At that time, he was already on an equal footing with the children, had entered the realm of Tongmai, and was so cultivated that there was nothing frivolous about him."

Jiang Che told his father everything and reported some of Jiang Che's deeds. His words were full of praise.

Because he can judge others by himself, if it were him, he would definitely not be able to reach the level that Jiang Che is now.

Qi Sanjia raised his eyebrows slightly:

"It seems that this person has some luck. If not, I am afraid that even if he is extremely talented, he will not be able to do this."

"Father. This person"

Qi Huan hesitated to speak, fearing that his father might have some desire to covet him.

"As a father, I don't want to covet the opportunities of a junior. Besides, for me, some ordinary opportunities are already useless." Qi Sanjia waved his hands indifferently.

"Summon him here tomorrow. My father wants to see him and see what he is like. If it's true as you said, it's not like we can't support him." If it hadn't been for Qi Huan's praise, and those tens of thousands Two silver coins.

But Jiang Che deceived Qi Huan and used the reputation of the Qi family to become arrogant and domineering, so he was determined not to spare this person lightly.

Because the prefect did not immediately order Jiang Che to be dismissed and investigated because the Qi family was Jiang Che's backer. Otherwise, the things he did would be a big taboo.

"Yes, my child obeys!"

Qi Huan looked happy.

He originally wanted to introduce Jiang Che to his father before leaving, firstly to find Jiang Che a backer, and secondly, if Jiang Che could gain momentum in the future, then the Qi family's bet would definitely not be a loss.

In short, the more he got to know Jiang Che, the more he felt that this man was a rare talent.

At this moment, Jiang Che, who was being discussed by the Qi family and his son about whether to support him, looked at each other in the mourning hall with Mrs. Zhu, and the atmosphere gradually began to become a little unusual.

Mrs. Zhu raised her head, with some mist in her eyes, and forced a smile:

"At first I really thought something happened to you?"

"Why, are you passionate about me?"

Jiang Che raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

"I'm just worried that if something happens to you, the Zhu family will also be implicated." Mrs. Zhu turned her head away from Jiang Che, but happened to turn to the coffin parked in the middle of the mourning hall.

Zhu Sheng was lying inside.

"That's because Jiang is being sentimental."

Jiang Che smiled casually.

"It's my business, thank you very much."

Mrs. Zhu looked grateful.

If Jiang Che hadn't taken action to lead the troops to suppress the bandits, then Zhu Sheng's great hatred would have taken a long time to be avenged. Now, to be buried so quickly, Jiang Che's help is indeed indispensable.

"Ma'am, you're being serious."

"The money I promised you before is already ready."

"Okay, I will send someone to pick it up tomorrow."

Coupled with the Zhu family's money, Jiang Che didn't lose anything even if he paid tens of thousands of taels of silver to the Qi family, and even made a huge profit.

"Um"

Mrs. Zhu responded and suddenly fell into silence again.

Jiang Che walked a few steps around Zhu Sheng's coffin, remained silent for a moment and said:

"It's getting late. Madam, please rest early. Jiang will leave first."

"etc."

Mrs. Zhu opened her mouth to stop Jiang Che.

"Um?"

Jiang Che turned back to look at the widow behind him.

"Go to the bedroom, I. I still have something to talk to you about."

Mrs. Zhu lowered her head and did not dare to look at Jiang Che.

Saying these words here, her heart was filled with guilt.

But besides feeling guilty, it made her feel even more excited.

I just feel that there are waves of fire burning in my body, and I urgently need cold water to put out the fire.

"If Madam has anything to say, just say it here. I won't go to the bedroom."

Jiang Che's lips curved into a chuckle.

"Isn't it good here?"

"Be obedient and put your hand on the coffin!"

Outside Zhu's Mansion.

A horse stopped at the door of Zhu's mansion, and a figure jumped off the horse. Under the moonlight and candlelight, it looked extremely heroic. Upon closer inspection, it looked similar to Zhu Sheng.

When the young man looked up at the white silk hanging on the door plaque, he couldn't help clenching his fists tightly.

His eyes were red and there were tears in his eyes.

I'm late!

"Brother!"

After being led into the mansion by the servants of the Zhu Mansion, Zhu Qingqing also met this very close eldest brother. Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar faces, she could no longer hold back and shed two lines of tears.

There are still men in the Zhu family.

Mother and daughter finally have something to rely on.

She had suffered tremendously before Zhu Sheng's death, and she had been looking forward to her elder brother Zhu Xu's arrival soon.

"Qingqing."

Zhu Xu moved his feet and appeared beside Zhu Qingqing in an instant. He lifted her up with one hand, with a heavy look on his face:

"What happened to my father? Who killed him?"

"This is Wu Xiaolin from Crouching Tiger Mountain. A few days ago, my father..."

Zhu Qingqing intermittently told her elder brother Zhu Xu all the information she knew, and also told all the grievances she had accumulated for a long time.

"Crouching Tiger Mountain!"

"If I don't take this revenge, I swear I won't be a human being!"

Zhu Xu snorted coldly and stepped heavily on the ground. The bluestone floor immediately shattered.

There was murderous intent in his eyes.

He wants to avenge his father!

How dare a group of bandits to be so bold.

It must be paid back.

"Brother, someone has avenged us for the revenge of Crouching Tiger Mountain. Now that Crouching Tiger Mountain has been destroyed, two full carloads of people have been brought here. They are now at the gate of the West City."

Zhu Qingqing wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and explained to Zhu Xu.

"Who reported it?"

"Jiang Che."

"he is?"

"He used to be my father's subordinate and a confidant, but now he is the commander of the military camp in Xicheng. However, he is different from ordinary commanders. Even the county magistrate has to give way to him."

The more Zhu Qingqing talked, the more sad she became.

It was clear that she had a chance to be Mrs. Jiang, but now she is a stranger to him. If her mother hadn't already had some friendship with him, I'm afraid they wouldn't even be able to see each other now.

"Father's confidant."

Zhu Xu nodded.

Although they have never met, they are already grateful to Jiang Che at this moment.

The hatred for killing my father is irreconcilable!

And he has always repaid hatred and repaid kindness.

I decided to meet with this person and if there is any way I can help him, I will do my best to help.

"It seems that my father also has the ability to know people and regards Jiang Che as a confidant. Now Jiang Che has also avenged him. But my son, on the other hand, has not even fulfilled his filial piety."

Zhu Xu sighed softly.

"yes."

"By the way, where is mother, what is she doing now?"

"Of course my father just passed away, and of course my mother is keeping vigil at the mourning hall. By the way, Jiang Che is also there. He said he wanted to talk about something."

Zhu Qingqing groaned and was so focused on reminiscing with her eldest brother that she forgot to ask her mother to see her eldest brother first.

Mother and son haven't seen each other for a long time.

"What a coincidence? Then take me to have a look."

"Isn't this bad?"

"They were talking in the mourning hall, everything should be fine."

"Don't worry, nothing will happen."

Jiang Che comforted.

He had just 'accidentally' revealed some secrets during the conversation. Mrs. Zhu was worried, fearing that something would happen because of this. If so, she would really not be able to live.

"you really"

Mrs. Zhu glanced at Jiang Che angrily, a little annoyed.

This person is really becoming more and more perverted.

But why don’t you hate it yourself?

"Mom, look who's coming."

Before reaching the mourning hall, Zhu Qingqing's voice came over. Jiang Che and Mrs. Zhu looked at each other and immediately became extremely serious, and even straightened their slightly messy clothes.

"Mom, the baby is late!"

The moment Zhu Xu saw Mrs. Zhu, he knelt on the ground with a plop and begged for mercy.

"Xu'er, get up quickly. It'll be good if you come. It'll be good if you come."

Mrs. Zhu quickly helped Zhu Xu up and kept mumbling.

"Come, mother, let me introduce you. This is Commander Jiang. He avenged your father's blood and is a great benefactor to our Zhu family." Mrs. Zhu pulled Zhu Xu and introduced Jiang Che to him.

"Young master Zhu is indeed a talented person, like a father!"

Jiang Che smiled.

Looking at this young man who seemed to be about the same age as him, Zhu Xu did not look down upon him at all, cupping his fists and saying:

"Thank you Mr. Jiang for your help this time. Zhu is very grateful. If you are of any use in the future, just ask and I will do my best to help."

Jiang Che waved his hand:

"Young Master Zhu said something serious. Madam has already thanked me. Lieutenant Zhu County treated me well during his lifetime. How could I stand by and watch when he died in death? This is what I should do."

"Master Jiang is indeed very righteous!"

Zhu Xu said sincerely.

"Hehehe"
