(Thank you for the reward of Luo Yi, thank you!) ）

"Why is the second master here?" Li Jing asked him.

"I can't wait to see you, Brother Li." Yellowbeard smiled: "But now I have to call Brother General Li." It's really three days, and you should be impressed. When you and I were in the prison of Chishan Town, I didn't expect that you would turn around and become a general. ”

"It's fate." Li Jing had calmed down at this time, and after the little panic in his heart passed, he calmed down. He put away the dagger in his hand, got up from behind the bookcase, and sat down generously in front of Yellowbeard. "Actually, it's not a general, it's just the head of a soldier, many people flinched when they heard the word soldier, we are just a farmer and don't have so many scruples, and we are ruthless, so we took this errand job. It's the last time I met with the three masters, and I thank the three masters for letting it go next time. ”

Yellowbeard grinned: "The third child let you go, isn't it because you pointed out the way to save me?" He casually lit the lamp in the study, and said, "If there is wine, bring two jars." ”

Li Jing didn't laugh, and he couldn't laugh. There was a sword in the meaning of Yellowbeard's words, and he heard the meaning inside. At the beginning of the Red Mountain Prison, although Yellowbeard only helped him analyze, it also made Li Jing settle down at that time, understand the situation at that time, and prepare to escape on the road. In this matter, he had already said that he owed Yellowbeard a favor. Later, when Lu met Redbeard, he proposed a plan to save Yellowbeard, which was regarded as returning the original favor. But later, Yellowbeard not only let him go, but also helped him kill Wang Liang, and Li Jing owed 'Zhen Donghai' a favor again. Last time, Li Jing killed Feng Yanqing and blamed Zhendonghai for that matter, although the pirates are in debt and don't worry, but after all, this is also a somewhat unauthentic thing. Now that Yellowbeard has suddenly appeared here, it is very likely that he is here for this matter.

"There's wine, and there's meat, wait a minute."

"Go, go, if you don't come back, I'll stay at Li's house and not leave." Yellowbeard waved his hand casually, and he didn't seem to be worried that Li Jing would lead someone to surround him after he left.

Li Jing turned around and went out, without alerting the others, went to the kitchen and personally picked two jars of green wine, and then cut two plates of cold donkey meat. Yellowbeard didn't wait for Li Jing to make a move, he immediately grabbed a jar of green wine and slapped the mud open, and when he lifted the jar, he drank a big drink, with a look of intoxication. He didn't put down the wine jar, grabbed a large piece of donkey meat with sauce with his other hand and ate it.

Seeing this, Li Jing, who was holding the wine sieve and preparing to sift the wine, also chuckled and put the wine sieve aside, and followed his example and directly slapped the wine jar open, raised it to his mouth and took a sip. The green lees foam that floats in the turbid sake brewed by the farmhouse pours into the throat all at once without sifting.

Li Jing cleared his throat: "I haven't congratulated the second master on escaping from prison and returning to Jianghai." This wine is considered a late celebration. ”

Yellowbeard shrugged his shoulders lightly, reaching out to stroke the remaining wine stains on the yellow whiskers at the corners of his mouth. "I have to thank you for this, if it weren't for Brother Li's plan, even if my yellow beard wanted to escape from prison, how could it be so easy." After speaking, he lifted the wine jar and touched the wine jar in Li Jing's hand.

Li Jing also raised the wine jar and touched it, and then mentioned it to his lips and took another big sip. "The auspicious people of the second master, even if there are no words from me, the third master will find a way to rescue the second master."

"Oh, I think I'm lucky. Let's just say that not long ago, Governor Deng Shi and his entourage of 24 people met in ambush in the dark night, were intercepted and killed, and more than 20 heads were piled up into Jingguan. There is also a shock and killing sticker in the East China Sea of our town left under the Jingguan. For a time, everyone in Dengzhou knew about it. Even on the Liaohai Sea and the East China Sea, there are legends about this event everywhere. Actually, this is not my town Donghai at all. Yellowbeard said as he drank, and his words were very flat. Li Jing was calm and listened to his words carefully. He knew that this was Yellowbeard's coming to have a showdown with him, so he didn't mean to shirk it at all. "Does this matter have such a big impact?"

"Big, of course big." Yellowbeard said with a smile: "The town led by my four brothers in the East China Sea is also regarded as the No. 1 power in the Liaohai area, but out of the Liaohai Sea, when we reach the ocean of the East China Sea, we are nothing. Especially if compared to the 'king of the sea' in the East China Sea, it is even less worth mentioning. In the past, our town Donghai also did business on the Liaohai Sea, but when we arrived in the East China Sea, we reported the name of the town Donghai, but it was useless. This time, in the name of killing the governor of Deng, the Wan'er of the East China Sea in our town has been spread to the East China Sea. Now as soon as the ship leaves the East China Sea, the merchant ships on the distant ocean do not need to be desperate, they will take the initiative to send people to send escort money, you say, we are lucky. ”

"Is that so?" Li Jing just said a few words slowly. Just now he heard Yellowbeard say the three words King of the Sea again, before he seemed to say that Zhang Yingying was related to the King of the Sea, but he didn't know what the specific relationship was with Lu Dao. These three words made Li Jing forget that the yellow-bearded man in front of him was a vicious pirate, and he thought of Zhang Yingying again.

Yellowbeard smiled, took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Li Jing. "This is a gift list, the four brothers of our town Donghai heard a few days ago that Brother Li was going to hold a fiftieth birthday for his mother, and we are also friends, so I came to run in person and sent you the gift prepared by my town Donghai. There are not many things, a pair of dust-avoiding rhinos, and a pair of Ruyi jade. In addition, there are ten horses of silkworm cotton and Chengshui silk. In addition to these, it is the flying money of 3,000 yuan, 3,000 pieces of silk, and 300 stone of grain that can be taken at any time in the Changping Cabinet Workshop. Don't blame the courtesy. ”

Li Jing was a little stunned, looking at the list full of various gifts, and the one attached to the list with a total value of nearly 18,000 yuan. This flying money doesn't look like a fake, which play is this town Donghai singing? And he has also heard of the names of Ruyi jade and dust-avoiding rhino, and it is said that these two things are the treasures collected by Princess Tongchang, who was the favorite of Emperor Yizong. Ruyi jade is as small as a peach pit, but there are seven holes on it, and the light is refracted at the same time, which is brilliant and infinite, and is worth a thousand gold. The dust-sheltering rhinoceros is also such a precious thing. Fire silkworm cotton with its cotton clothes, a piece of clothing with one or two cotton is enough, if you use too much, the person wearing the clothes is as if being steamed and roasted by the fire, even if the number nine winter, it is unbearable hot. The water silk is about a foot long and as thin as a cicada's wings, but if it is poured with water and then hung up, everyone present will feel cool and comfortable, even in dog summer, crowded places, people can be light and sweatless. These are all rare treasures, and you can exchange them for a thousand gold at will.

Totaling the gifts worth forty or fifty thousand yuan, Li Jing's hands trembled a little. "Second master, these things are too valuable, I don't dare to accept them."

Yellowbeard smiled slightly: "I have given a lot of gifts to Lu Yi, but the first time someone thought it was valuable." Actually, these things seem very valuable to you, but we didn't spend much money to get them. ”

Li Jing knew that he didn't spend the money in his sentence, and it was estimated that he was doing a business without capital. To put it bluntly, it's stolen goods. A treasure like this number, although it is valuable, can be placed in the hands of pirates, but it is not easy to sell, and it cannot be exchanged for any price. But now when there is a shortage of grain, 300 stone of grain is 360,000 catties of grain, which is not just a matter of money.

"I really don't dare to take it."

"Actually, this is not for you in vain, these are the money that my town Donghai gave to the brothers who helped us make a name for ourselves. Although we didn't make much money in a short period of time, we still had the money to come out first. Brother Li, there is a sentence I hope you can help convey to that brother, we worked together happily last time. But we hope that in the future we will have more room for cooperation. ”

Li Jing and Yellow Beard looked at each other for a long time, their minds turned sharply, and they already understood seven or eight points in their minds. Zhendonghai is a group of pirates, plundering the sea, although it is a momentary scenery. But Bao Buqi was wiped out by the official army one day, so they also thought of having a backer. Or don't talk about backers, but find a trusted ally or internal response in the official army? Li Jing has had several encounters with Zhen Donghai, and now he has just been promoted to the general of Shamen Island under Da Xie Qi on the sea outside the state. plus Li Jing's two teachers, one is the newly appointed envoy of Ziqing Pinglu Jiedu, and the other is the elder brother of the Fengzhou defense envoy and the prime minister of the dynasty. If Zhendonghai pulls Li Jing into the gang, then they will have a greater guarantee across the sea.

After saying those few words, Yellowbeard didn't talk to Li Jing anymore, but left the space of choice to Li Jing, eating a large piece of donkey meat and drinking green wine on his side. He ate happily, but Li Jing fell into a difficult decision. The first thing he considered in this matter was not the pros and cons, but whether he could refuse.

Although Yellowbeard smiled and gave such a big gift, after all, these people are murderous pirates, and they can't be guaranteed that they are saluting first and then soldiers. What will happen if he refuses? He is an official, and Yellowbeard is a bandit, but Li Jing is in a weak position in this transaction. Judging from the people of Zhen Donghai, if he refuses on the surface, maybe they won't embarrass him, but who guarantees?

If he accepted this proposal, Li Jing couldn't help but think about it, he had seen Yellowbeard and Redbeard among the four masters of Zhendonghai, and both of them had good temperament and demeanor. If they cooperate, it will be a family of officials and bandits. Li Jing is about to become the general of Shamen Town, and the Feng Zhang, the superior of Shamen Town, did not have a good attitude towards him before. As soon as he went to sea, Li Jing had no help, and everything had to be broken by him. Perhaps, Zhen Donghai can become his foreign aid?

But according to his understanding of Zhen Donghai, this is a bandit, I am afraid that he will fall deeper and deeper, and he can still get out of the way?

Ps: It's going to be pushed tomorrow, and it's going to be on the shelves next Friday, so everyone who has a vote will vote for Muzi.
