The Red Chamber: Hang Qin Keqing at the start

Chapter 18 [018] Jia Baoyu's unspeakable quirk?

Liu Xianglian took a sip of mulled wine, her eyes flickered a few times, and she frowned and said:
"Forget it, since Brother Qiang treats me like a brother, then I won't hide it from you."

After finishing speaking, he got up and walked to the door, looked out vigilantly, and seeing no one outside, he closed the door and window tightly and fastened it.

When she got back to her seat and sat down, Liu Xianglian lowered her voice and said:
"It's a long story. In fact, the cause of this incident is related to your second uncle Bao."

Jia Qiang raised her eyebrows slightly, and asked suspiciously:

"You mean this matter is related to Jia Baoyu of the Rongguo Mansion?"

"Yes!" Liu Xianglian said with a wry smile:
"In fact, Jiang Yuhan told me this, his nickname is Qiguan, he is a famous actor in Zhongshun Wangfu Opera Troupe, and he is good at singing Xiaodan.

Once, he drank flowers and wine with Jia Baoyu, and Jia Baoyu privately gave him a jade pendant and a pine flower sweat towel.

Jiang Yuhan gave back to Jia Baoyu the big red scarf given to him by King Beijing Jing.

Later, Jiang Yuhan escaped from Zhongshun Palace privately.

Lord Zhongshun heard that Jiang Yuhan and Jia Baoyu had a close relationship, so he sent someone to Rongguo Mansion to find Jia Baoyu and asked about Jiang Yuhan's whereabouts.

Jia Baoyu was timid and afraid of getting into trouble, so he confessed that Jiang Yuhan had real estate in Red Sandalwood Castle.

Prince Zhongshun sent someone to the Red Sandalwood Castle to arrest Jiang Yuhan. Fortunately, I bumped into him. Jiang Yuhan and I were friends, so I acted righteously and helped him escape.

But I also offended Prince Zhongshun because of this, so I can only leave Shenjing City as soon as possible, go to other places to avoid the limelight, and come back after a year or so. "

Jia Qiang asked curiously:
"Then how did Jiang Yuhan know that Jia Baoyu betrayed him?"

Liu Xianglian sneered and said: "Although Jia Baoyu is cowardly by nature, he has a good brain and a good heart.

After he confessed that Jiang Yuhan might be hiding in Red Sandalwood Castle, he hurriedly ordered his servant Mingyan to rush to Red Sandalwood Castle to inform Jiang Yuhan.

However, when Mingyan arrived at Red Sandalwood Castle, Prince Zhongshun's personal guards also arrived. Fortunately, I passed by there at that time, and led them out of the encirclement.

Jia Baoyu asked Mingyan to tell Jiang Yuhan the truth about the process of being forced to confess him out of Red Sandalwood Castle, and asked Mingyan to convey his apology to Jiang Yuhan.

Jiang Yuhan knew that Jia Baoyu was pure and good-natured, and had a close personal relationship with him.

After learning about Jia Baoyu's difficulties, Jiang Yuhan immediately asked Mingyan to tell Jia Baoyu not to feel guilty, saying that he understood his difficulties and had forgiven him. "

Jia Qiang nodded slightly, comfortingly said:

"Actually, you don't have to worry too much, since the government did not issue a sea arrest document to you, it means that Prince Zhongshun did not report to the government.

Prince Zhongshun didn't want to make a big deal out of it. It should be because he has an unspeakable relationship with Jiang Yuhan. Their absurd and unruly eccentricities are not in accordance with the etiquette and shame their reputation. They are shameful. "

Liu Xianglian stretched her frowning eyebrows, and said with a smile:

"Brother Qiang is right. After hearing your analysis, I am relieved a lot."

Jia Qiang said seriously:
"Although Prince Zhongshun is embarrassed to report to the officials, his house has a large number of soldiers and family slaves. He may send his men to arrest you. Brother Liu should go out and avoid it."

Liu Xianglian nodded deeply and said:
"What Brother Qiang said is true, thank you for your guidance."

Jia Qiang waved her hand and said:

"They're all my brothers, you're welcome!

If Brother Liu doesn't mind, I would like to invite you to be the chief escort of my Rose Escort Agency and escort a batch of goods to other places. It is a good time to take this opportunity to stay away from Shenjing and avoid the limelight.I don't know what Liu Shixiong's intention is? "

Liu Xianglian clasped her fists and said:

"Brother Qiang really cares about me, and I can't repay you. Since your bodyguard agency is short of manpower, I'd rather be the chief bodyguard of your bodyguard agency and work for you."

"Okay, let's work together to achieve a great cause!" Jia Qiang was overjoyed, toasted with Liu Xianglian and drank happily.

In the original book, Liu Xianglian is good at wielding a pair of mandarin duck swords. She has high martial arts skills, honors righteousness over wealth, and is chivalrous and courageous. She is an excellent candidate for the chief escort.

Although Liu Xianglian offended Prince Zhongshun, Prince Zhongshun has always had a bad relationship with Jia's family, and he was also one of the behind-the-scenes men who led to the final ransacking of Jia's house.

Therefore, Jia Qiang is not afraid of offending Lord Zhongshun because of Liu Xianglian, anyway, sooner or later she will tear her face and raise the flag to rebel.

Moreover, Prince Zhongshun has always been focused on fighting for power and profit, forming a party for personal gain, so how could he care so much about such a powerless little person like Liu Xianglian?
When Liu Xianglian took the opportunity of guarding the darts and hid outside for a year or so before returning, it is estimated that Prince Zhongshun had already forgotten about him.

After eating and drinking, Jia Qiang said with a smile:

"I ordered a spear and a halberd at the blacksmith shop, and I wanted to pick them up today.

If Brother Liu Shi has time, would you like to accompany me to get the weapons?How about going to the Rose Escort to identify the door together? "

"I'm so happy. I like dancing spears and sticks the most. It's just right for me to see Brother Qiang's spears and halberds." Liu Xianglian readily agreed.

After about half a stick of incense, the two rode to the blacksmith shop.

When Jia Qiang settled the balance, the shop owner immediately ordered two shop assistants to bring out the gun and halberd and hand them to Jia Qiang.

The two store clerks were so tired that they were out of breath, and finally lifted the gun and the halberd out respectively.

Liu Xianglian's eyes trembled slightly, she frowned and asked:

"Brother Qiang, isn't this gun and this halberd particularly heavy? Why do you need two people to carry them?"

Jia Qiang said nonchalantly, "It's not very heavy."

As he spoke, he took the gun with his left hand and the halberd with his right hand.

Although it weighs a lot in the hand, Jia Qiang has Xiang Yu's supernatural power, so the two hundred catties are nothing.

Liu Xianglian saw that his face was not red, he was not panting, and he seemed to be very relaxed, so he reckoned that these two weapons should not be heavy.

"Brother Qiang, it's inconvenient for you to carry a weapon in one hand, so let me help you hold this gun?"

Liu Xianglian suggested thoughtfully.

"Okay, thank you very much!"

Jia Qiang readily agreed, and casually threw the spear to Liu Xianglian.

Liu Xianglian stretched out her right hand to grab it, but there was a sudden pain in her wrist, and she was almost sprained. She hurriedly stretched out her left hand, and grasped the barrel of the gun with both hands.

Even so, he was still shaken by the falling force of the spear before he managed to stand firm.

"Good weight!"

Liu Xianglian exclaimed in surprise: "How heavy is this spear?"

The blacksmith shop owner reminded with a flattering smile:

"This gun weighs 81 kilograms, the guest officer needs to be careful, don't sprain the wrist and lower back."

"His-"

Liu Xianglian suddenly took a deep breath, looked at Jia Qiang in surprise, and asked in a shy voice:

"Brother Qiang, why did you build such a heavy weapon? I've traveled all these years, and I've never seen such a heavy gun!"
