Sword of the Red Chamber from Heaven

Chapter 167

On this day, the New Year's Eve is approaching, but the capital is tainted with a trace of tension about the presence of swordsmen. The news that Wang Hu led [-] people from the camp in the outskirts of Beijing and returned home in defeat was spread to every corner of the capital by interested people. People panic.

No one expected that the White Lotus Sect's offensive would be so swift and fierce that it could defeat Dakang's elite division.

Then the news that the champion Hou Jiayu led the troops to go out caused a lot of trouble, because Jiayu took away only the thousand people, the one thousand Daxue Dragoons, on this trip.

Although they knew that Jia Gong was extraordinary, no one was optimistic about this battle with a huge difference in numbers.

It is rumored that the White Lotus Sect has gathered [-] to [-] people this time, and they are all monsters who are not afraid of death and have infinite strength, casting a shadow over the hearts of the people.

Upstairs in Fengxiang, two men in silk clothes booked a private room by the window, discussing Jia Gong's expedition.

"Brother Wei, what do you think about the champion Hou asking for a fight?"

A handsome man drank the rice wine in the bowl in one go, and said in a rather emotional tone.

"Brother Liu, to tell you the truth, no matter what the big guy thinks, the brother really admires him. At this time, the person who can invite the battle must be a good man who puts life and death aside. With his feat today, no matter whether he wins or loses. , can be worthy of the three words of a champion!!!"

"That's a good point!! My brother agrees with me!!"

It seemed that the man had reached the heart of the other party, only to see the other party slapped the table and laughed out loud.

"Brothers look down on those courtiers who play tricks the most. A good court is tainted by factional disputes. It is said that the mainstay is only when the wind is high and the waves are turbulent. With only a few thousand people, they dare to attack the enemy. Such a feat is not worth it. Big white!!"

"Brother Liu is right!! Do it!!!"

"Dry!!"

A hot-blooded man who is righteous for thousands of years, full of lofty sentiments and never old-hearted. Jia Gong's actions like suicide, completely conquered those hot-blooded men in the capital. Before righteousness, they are not afraid of life and death. To them, this is a real man, a real husband .

Different from these passionate men, those older people rushed out when they heard Jia Jun leading a thousand soldiers and horses, and sighed more. Although they also admired Jia Jun's move, they didn't quite agree with it in their hearts. , even if the troops are really sent, what about bringing more people?I don't know if it's worth it to risk my own life for a moment of impulsiveness.

When Bo Niu Jizong opened the door of the Dongkua Courtyard after the imperial edict built the Zhen Guogong's Mansion, he walked in with an extremely solemn expression.

In a warm pavilion, there was an old man with white beard and hair, lying on a rocking chair, and three or five servant girls were waiting on him. Brew the fragrant tea and gently place it on the coffee table within his reach.

"Squeak~"

The door was pushed open, and a gust of cold wind rushed in along the thick curtain, swirling in the room, causing the old man to open his eyes.

"Father, the child has something important to report~"

The old man glanced at the person coming, waved his hand, and signaled the maids around him to back down, and the maids didn't dare to hesitate, saluted respectfully, and left quietly.

The old man stood up and came to the main hall outside. He pointed to the seat on one side and said, "Sit down and talk!"

Then he took the lead to sit down, and the others also sat down gradually. After sitting down, the visitor said anxiously: "The White Lotus Sect gathered [-] people to attack the capital. After defeat, he was ripped off with an arm, and there are only less than [-] soldiers left in the capital, and now the city is full of riots, and the situation is in danger!"

Hearing this, the old man didn't panic, but instead asked, "Jizong, what's the situation at the Champion's Mansion?"

That's right, these two people are Niu Tiande who has been living in seclusion behind the scenes, and Niu Jizong, the current head of the Zhen Guogong Mansion. Hearing Niu Tiande's question, Niu Jizong was slightly taken aback, then he narrowed his eyes, and said with some doubts: "Father, Although Champion Hou has made great achievements, but in front of this army, what can he decide on his own??"

Niu Tiande looked at his son, chuckled, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

"What can one person decide? You don't really think that Champion Hou is really a reckless man, do you? He returned to the capital of Gyeonggi without any preparation."

When Niu Jizong heard his father's words, his expression changed slightly, as if there was something in his father's words, "What do you mean by father's words?"

Niu Tiande didn't look at him anymore, just picked up an exquisite purple clay pot on the table, hissed, and then sighed heavily, "He can penetrate the nine sides and wipe out the Jurchen, you think it's because of strategizing Does Wushuang still have the full support of hundreds of thousands of frontier troops?"

Niu Jizong was a little confused, what was Niu Tiande talking about? ?Is Jia Guan unparalleled in bravery?But in an army battle, one person's power is limited after all, if he can kill a hundred people, is it possible that he can kill a thousand people?
Seeing his son's appearance, Niu Tiande snorted softly, "Stupid, don't you think about what kind of people those barbarians in the northern border are? Although that kind of strategizing can determine the outcome, it will not make them afraid. So far, there have been so many dynasties and so many outstanding generals, why is it that only Huo Hussar of the Western Han Dynasty can confine the wolf to the Xuxu?"

Seeing Niu Jizong's silence, Niu Tiande continued: "The reason is only one word, that is strong, very strong, whether it is martial arts or resourcefulness, they are so tyrannical that they make the Huns despair, so they have to flee to Mobei!!"

Niu Jizong was still silent. He had experienced in the army and knew that there would be great differences in combat power among the troops. However, all the ministries of the camp in the suburbs of Beijing were the elite of Dakang's elite, otherwise they would not have come to guard the capital. No matter how strong his army is, there should always be a limit!
Niu Tiande saw that his son did not speak, and emotion flashed in his eyes. To be honest, he didn't believe it at the beginning. Five thousand people beat five thousand people and won. There is nothing to say. A general who can see the past can command with [-]% certainty; if five thousand people fight ten thousand people, if they win, it can be said that they use soldiers like gods; , but [-] people beat [-], [-] million, and they still won. Didn't his son think about the tricks?
"Ah~"

Niu Tiande sighed again, "You have never seen Jia Jun lead an army to attack, and you may never have imagined how terrifying he is. To tell you the truth for my father, Jia Jun alone can stop a million troops~"

Hearing this, Niu Jizong was stunned on the spot. He couldn't believe that these words came from his father, a Duke of Zhen.

After a long time, he said again: "Wang Hu actually brought the Royal Thunderbolt team with him this time, but he was still defeated~"

Niu Tiande's eyes were a little surprised, he didn't seem to expect Emperor Ming Kang to be so generous, but then he smiled coldly, "It's okay, but if such a team can be tens of thousands, it may not be invincible in the world, but the royal family will not let this If this kind of thing is popularized, if the pilizi fall into the hands of those who care about it, the Chu family's country may not be able to sit still~"

Niu Jizong also nodded, this time he agreed with his father's point of view, the thunderbolt is too powerful, if it weighs a few hundred catties, the Daming Palace might even fly into the sky.

"After Wang Hu's defeat, the champion Hou Jiayu called for a fight, and he has already set off with a cavalry army of one thousand snow dragons outside the city!"

Niu Tiande pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Since he made the move, there should be no big problem!"

Niu Jizong hesitated for a moment, and continued: "Ma Changlong and Chen Ruiwen contacted me earlier to ask if we would leave Beijing to avoid disaster. After all, the city is not safe now. If today's troubles are launched at this time, our family may suffer. To the disaster of extinction!"

Niu Tiande thought for a while, and finally shook his head, "Ma Changlong, that brat, is still too suspicious. With the Supreme Emperor there, the Emperor will not touch us. Thinking about the situation outside, the court may not be sure whether Jia Gong can do it or not. Repelling the thugs of the White Lotus Sect, they will not go to war at this time, and those people will not be so stupid to put all their treasures on Jia Gong. I guess the military transfer order of Xuanfu or Jizhou has already been passed on by pigeons! It would be unwise to retreat at this time!"

"You will return to them in a while. Our family will not leave Beijing. As for the reason, you don't need to say too much. You can only rot in your heart about Jia Gong, and you must not tell others. As for the truth and falsehood, you will know soon~"

"Clang clang clang~"

Suddenly there was a sound of knocking gongs on the street, and then a row of soldiers yelled loudly: "The emperor has a decree!! The White Lotus Sect has committed crimes in Beijing. In order to ensure the safety of everyone, except for the summons from the government offices, no one else is allowed to go out. ! Violators will be punished as the crime of collaborating with the enemy!! It will take effect!!"

Hearing this, the ordinary people who were still strolling on the street couldn't help running home one after another, for fear of being taken by these soldiers. They all knew that these master soldiers usually had unclean hands, but now they are supervised by order. Great? ?So just for a moment, no one can be seen on the street anymore! !
Almost all the core figures from Rongguo Mansion and Rongqing Hall were present.

Jia Mu sat on the beauty couch, and Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen, Jia Lian and others sat on both sides.

Everyone was a little nervous. The matter of the White Lotus Sect was too sudden, and they arrived at the capital in a blink of an eye. Moreover, Wang Hu was defeated and returned home, which intensified the tension dramatically. Almost no one in the capital can sit comfortably now. Even Emperor Mingkang and Emperor Taikang were the same.

When Jia Mu heard the news that Jia Lian had inquired from outside, her expression became more and more gloomy. After all, she thought that the family could improve a bit, but she didn't expect to encounter such an incident.

"So, Brother Gong has led troops out of the city?"

Jia Lian nodded, and replied: "If you go back to your ancestors, that's true, and brother Gong didn't bring many people with him, only a thousand people stationed outside the city, I'm afraid."

Jia Zheng sighed, "Brother Gong's move is too radical, Wang Hu led [-] people and returned home in a disastrous defeat, only [-] people, alas~~"

The rest of the people were silent, and their faces were very solemn. From their point of view, it is likely that Jia Gong will never return.

After a long time, Jia She said, "According to the news from the palace, Brother Gong only brought a thousand people with him on this trip, maybe it's because of Fan Yuanhe~"
