Changying The Lady Chapter 12 The Story

When Mrs. He went up the steps, she heard the voice from the yard.

"... According to Uncle Jiang, since these escorts are so skillful, won't they go all the way smoothly?" This was Wei Changying's voice.

It seemed that she was listening to the blamed guy Jiang Zheng's story of escorting.

Mrs. He frowned, thinking, what was the status of First Miss? Listening to these reckless things of Jianghu would even poison her! This blamed Jiang Zheng deserved to die. He knew that First Miss would get married next summer but didn't know to say something useful for the occasion and talked about the stories full of fighting and killing. He must have bad intentions!

She was about to push the door to stop Jiang Zheng at that time, but on second thought—it was not a good time to say that. Wei Changying would make up for this blamed guy. She just stood outside the door and listened. She decided to go in when she caught the flaw in his words so that she could silence him at once.

A loud and clear voice of Jiang Zheng came out, "First Miss, you are wrong."

Mrs. He could never stand that anyone said something bad about Wei Changying, so her face darkened. She cursed in her heart that this blamed guy deserved to be punished. As a bodyguard, how dare he said that his boss was wrong?

On the contrary, Wei Changying didn't care about it, and asked curiously, "Why?"

"These escorts usually direct in Escort Establishment. How could they deliver goods in normal times? So even if the bandits see these escorts and know how brave they are, there will only be more bandits who suspect that the goods they protect are treasures. Big money always comes with enemies." Jiang Zheng said slowly, "What's more, when wandering in the Jianghu, martial arts are not the most important, but the experience is."

"Uncle Jiang, tell me in detail!" Wei Changying hurried him.

Jiang Zheng said, "Most of the escorts are good at martial arts. The bandits dare not fight recklessly, nor are they willing to. Most of them play dirty. For example, they bribe the waiter or owner of the inn or tavern on their way to put the knockout drops in their food and drinks, and some ruthless guy may put deadly poison directly; they would also send a squad to hara.s.s them day and night, making them tired; some would have spies in Escort Establishment in advance...."

Listening to Jiang Zheng's words, Mrs. He suddenly had a rich a.s.sociation: "After Wei Changying gets married, she puts some knockout drops in Shen Cangfeng's food and beats him, when he pa.s.ses out. Then she closes the door every day and beats Shen Cangfeng repeatedly, which makes him tired and has to beg for mercy. At the same time, she bribes the people around Shen Cangfeng to treat the third young master of Shen Family as a rough servant and beats him or scolds him as she wants."

This was ridiculous!

She couldn't stand it anymore. She pushed the door open and rushed in!

The courtyard, which was especially used for Wei Changying's martial arts practice, was very wide and surrounded by ambulatories with three stone steps above the ground.

In the southeast corner of the courtyard, there was a flouris.h.i.+ng sycamore tree. Now the branches and leaves filled the whole courtyard, covering the sky. Because the sun was high in the sky, it wasn't dark in the yard. With the sun s.h.i.+ning on the cascading Indus leaves, the sky looked like jade with soft brightness.

Under the sycamore tree, there were stone locks, sandbags, weapon racks and other things used for martial arts.

Now in the middle of the courtyard, a girl in a red martial outfit was practicing a combination leisurely. Wei Changying was born to be bright and beautiful. Now in the red clothes and the courtyard in the middle of May in summer, and set off by jade-like crown over her head, she looked extremely resplendent. The word gorgeous seemed to be created just to describe her.

In particular, at that moment, Wei Changying's boxing speed was not fast, but it was very rhythmic. Her movements were just like floating clouds and flowing water, and her manners were clear-cut. In addition to glow, it gave her a bit of heroism.

Mrs. He looked at such a noticeable young lady and felt that her heart was broken, "What a lady! She was born a respected family, which the princess's background couldn't even be compared with, she was born with an attractive appearance. There are many beauties in the Wei Family, but Wei Changying always comes first on the list! Not to mention the family style of the Wei Family, the ladies are all famous for their gentleness and elegance. And anyway, Wei Changying should be a gentle and elegant lady in her whole life, but she was misled by the bad guy Jiang!"

With this in mind, Mrs. He almost crunched the silver teeth in her mouth! She suddenly looked at another person in the court.

Jiang Zheng held a three-foot-long bamboo and stood with his hands at the back on one side. Although he is over fifty, he had been practicing martial arts for many years. His inherited martial arts were very famous in Jianghu. He was really an expert, so when Wei Changying was already sweating on her forehead, he still looked unperturbed. The Yueluo robe on him given by Wei Changying as a gift during the festival was gently stirred by the breeze, but he wasn't sweating at all.

Although he was just teaching Wei Changying at that moment, he stood freely with the bamboo in his hand like a hill, with a master's temperament. He has a kind of expert demeanor of stopping in the abyss and standing in the mountains. It was no wonder that when Wei Changying wanted to learn martial arts and pestered Madam Song and Old Madam Song to make an exception, after picking in the bodyguards of the Wei Family, she chose Jiang Zheng, who had no foundation in the Wei family, to be her master.

Of course, it couldn't be said that Jiang Zheng's martial arts were poor in the bodyguards of the Wei Family. In fact, he was the best one among the bodyguards. However, Wei Changying had a distinguished status in the Wei Family. Being her master in martial arts, even if she couldn't bear the hards.h.i.+ps and gave up in a short time, would build a friends.h.i.+p between him and the Wei Family. What's more, Wei Changying was young at that time, so Old Madam Song and Madam Song were very concerned about her. To teach Wei Changying was to be seen by these two people. These two people were the masters of the Wei Family's backyard, who couldn't be interfered with even by Duke Changshan Wei Huan.

So, hearing that Wei Changying was going to practice martial arts, the servants of the Wei Family fought with each other to be her master. Unexpectedly, Jiang Zheng, who entered the Wei Family by chance and had no foundation here, got the position.

Over the years, countless people were jealous of Jiang Zheng.

Of course, Mrs. He was definitely not jealous of him. To get the chance to teach the First Miss, a bodyguard spent all his savings of more than 20 years in bribing several managers in the inner court, but he didn't get the position or his money back. Even his resentment towards Jiang Zheng failed to be compared with that of Mrs. He.

There were only two people in the middle of the courtyard, but there was a group of pretty maidservants in red or green standing in winding corridors. Lvbin and others waited here not only to serve but also to avoid the gossip about them coming out. The chief maids stood on the veranda in neat rows, holding a pail basin, frozen cheese fruits, snacks, and drinks, waiting for orders.

Although Jiang Zheng and Wei Changying didn't look at them, the four of them were solemn and respectful. It could be seen that the Wei Family's background was so profound that even the servants were different from those of other families.

When Mrs. He entered the door, Lvbin and others who were facing the door noticed her immediately. Lvfang was standing in the front. When she almost stepped down to receive Mrs. He, she was pulled back by Lvchi, who was standing behind her. Suddenly, she realized that First Miss hated to be disturbed when she was practicing martial Arts. Although these four chief maids were afraid of Mrs. He, they only gave a salute in unison across the courtyard.

But Mrs. He, who usually paid most attention to controlling the maids and didn't want them to lose Wei Changying's face, didn't have time to notice Lvbin and other maids. She ran down the corridor in a few steps to the yard. Jiang Zheng and Wei Changying, who were concentrating on teaching and practicing boxing, finally noticed her. Seeing that it was Mrs. He, Jiang Zheng's long black eyebrows suddenly wrinkled and twisted. He was filled with anger, ignoring Wei Changying, and shouted angrily, "What are you doing here?"

Wei Changying changed her fist style suddenly. She made several moves, stood at attention. With her arms crossed and falling slowly from the top of her head, she pressed her breathe under the Dantian. She did it nicely and smoothly, and asked, "Granny He, did something urgent happen?"

Mrs. He couldn't stand seeing Wei Changying suffering a little, but n.o.body could practice martial arts without suffering. Jiang Zheng thought that she always made a mess. After being b.u.mped and discorded, Mrs. He hadn't come to the yard in the past 12 years.

Now he saw her coming all of a sudden. Mrs. He had been cursing him to his face and behind his back in these years. Jiang Zheng was not deaf, so he thought she was mostly coming to make troubles for him and felt upset naturally.

However, Wei Changying was thinking about more things. She thought that Mrs. He had something urgent, when she came here suddenly, so she stopped practicing and asked hurriedly.

Reminded by Wei Changying, Jiang Zheng blushed slightly, and he thought that he was really muddled. How could he not think that although Mrs. He had never stopped cursing him in the past 12 years, she never entered this yard? It could be seen that most likely First Miss's idea was right that she came here to report something urgent.

However, in front of Wei Changying's serious look, Mrs. He pulled her to her first, looked at her carefully, stared at Wei Changying's rosy and tender cheek for a few minutes, and made sure that Wei Changying was well. She asked with infinite love, "First Miss, how could this blamed old guy Jiang be so hard on you?"

The shrew really came to make trouble!

Jiang Zheng's face changed, and he was instantly alert!

Wei Changying was also stunned and asked, "I've been practicing martial arts with Uncle Jiang since I was little. How could he be too hard on me?"

Mrs. He looked at her as gentle as water, and when she turned her head to look at Jiang Zheng, her eyes suddenly became knives that were colder than the ice of the Three-feet Qingfeng Sword. From her eyes, the knives were flying out one after another, hoping to poke Jiang Zheng into a sieve in an instant. What she said was picked on purpose to be more hurtful, "You b.a.s.t.a.r.d! The old Madam and Madam don't disdain your skill of a jack of all trades. They give you a chance to relive First Miss's boredom. Are you taking it seriously? Dare you really take such a precious person as First Miss as rough guys like your apprentices, and beat her and scold her as you want?"

Jiang Zheng was not a servant of the Wei Family at first. He made a living wandering in the Jianghu with his father in his early years. Although he had been a bodyguard in the Wei Family for decades, he still had the pride of a warrior in his heart. Especially when he was in the Escort Establishment and the Wei Family, he relied on his inherited good martial arts to keep a foothold, which was even complimented by the leader of the Wei Family. Now he derogated by Mrs. He to be a jack of all trades. How could he bear it?

But when it came to quarreling, he was not the rival of Mrs. He. Secondly, with his temperament, he was not able to quarrel with a woman for a long time. So, confronted with Mrs. He's rude words, Jiang Zheng decided to show her his martial arts!

Before the people in the court could see his movements clearly, a white silver lance had jumped into his hand from the weapon rack that was five or six steps away from him! In a blink, sliver lance was like a dragon and moved very fast like a meteor. Almost at the moment when no one could react, the sliver lance reached the throat of Mrs. He!

At that time, Wei Changying, who was shocked and trying to rescue her, ran out to reach a long knife on the weapon rack.
