Sword of the Red Chamber from Heaven

Chapter 656: The historian's operation, Xichun's shocking words

"Miss Zishi will be here soon. I heard that her family has made plans. But Xiangyun has other ideas in her mind, so the old lady sent someone to bring her here. Do you two want to go over and take a look later?"

It was unknown what Feng Jieer was thinking of, and her tone was full of emotion. At this moment, the capital city was like a precarious building in the wind and rain, and everyone had their own ideas. The palace seemed to be unable to take care of itself, so these big families in the capital city began to fend for themselves.

"Isn't Uncle Shi afraid of the court's revenge later?"

Daiyu glanced at Xichun and saw that she didn't move. She guessed that the girl was not interested in this matter. Shi Xiangyun had a good relationship with her on weekdays, so she asked another question.

"At this time, who has the mood to care about this?!"

Feng Jieer sneered in her heart at Daiyu's worries. Of course, this was not directed at Daiyu, but at the current court.

  The fight has already reached the door, are you not going to let people fend for themselves?

"This shouldn't be the case. As the saying goes, the first bird to stick its head out gets shot. If their actions are known to the palace, they will probably be targeted."

Although it is unclear what the current situation in the palace is, the palace will definitely not allow the Shi family to continue to behave in a disorderly manner. If they do nothing and allow the Shi family to fend for themselves, and the dignitaries in the capital follow suit, then the battle will be in jeopardy.

You must know that spilled water cannot be recovered. Once people’s hearts are scattered, it will be difficult to gather them together again.

"That's not the case. Lord Shi and his family didn't leave with their entire family. Instead, they secretly sent the young men in their house away, to leave some incense for their family. To be honest, a family like ours has been tied to the court for a long time to have the status we have today. Where can we escape to?"

  Daiyu was stunned, thinking to herself, "So that's how it is." She then said that if the Shi family planned to leave with their family, her grandmother should have stopped them. Although the court was in a precarious situation at the moment, after all, there are still three pounds of nails on a rotten boat!

Although the rebels were coming with great force, they were not as strong as the imperial court, and there was a huge gap in the number of soldiers. In other words, the imperial court was facing a much larger enemy than the Prince of Dongping, and it was unwise to seek a distant target instead of a near one.

The most crucial point is that she knows that Jia Hong is still here. In the minds of many people, it seems that as long as Jia Hong is still here, the rebels will not be able to break in.

She fought in the battlefield, achieved unprecedented merits, was granted the title of Langjuxu, and was made a marquis at a young age. With all these halos added together, for many people, she was someone who could never lose on the battlefield. What's more, she also knew some of Jia Hong's background, which was something that mortals could only aspire to.

Therefore, Daiyu was not as worried as ordinary people about the turmoil in the capital. As long as Jia Hong recovered from his injury at the last moment, everything would be fine. If Jia Hong did not recover, then the outcome would depend on God's will. Of course, she still believed in her heart that Jia Hong could make it.

"That's true. Sister Xiangyun is a girl, and it's really not suitable for her to show up in public. It's good that she's here!"

After thinking for a while, Daiyu replied.

She didn't say anything extra. She couldn't reveal Jia Hong's whereabouts. If she said so bluntly that the court would definitely win, Feng Jieer probably wouldn't believe it, let alone other people.

Xichun, who was standing by, suddenly said, "I don't know what she was thinking of, but I'm afraid the uncles from the Shi family don't plan to bring Sister Xiangyun along!"

Wang Xifeng's eyes twitched, and she looked a little embarrassed. To be honest, this possibility was not small. The old lady said that the little girl Xiangyun missed her, so she wanted to ask someone to bring her over to continue the family happiness, but no one knew what the real situation was. At this time, the old lady brought the girl over, and it seemed that she wanted to protect her more. After all, the attitude of the two gentlemen in the Shi family towards Xiangyun was not very good, and even the old lady had heard about it.

Some time ago, there was a plan to marry the girl off to someone else, but later the plan fell through due to some things. However, from this small incident, we can see that the Shi family really didn't think very highly of this girl.

"Too clever is too clever. After leaving here, those two losers from the Shi family still want to survive. They are lucky if they are not eaten alive."

The world outside is not very stable, especially at this time. There are wars everywhere, and the bandits are probably trying to take advantage of the situation. Robbery is inevitable. The government is unable to take care of itself, and its control over the area under its jurisdiction is very weak. Leaving the capital at this time is definitely not the best choice, especially when you can't take more than a few people with you and have to leave secretly.

If there were too many people leaving and they took enough servants to protect the palace, that would be fine. But if they took too many people, they would not be able to get through the palace.

"how"

Hearing Xichun's words, Fengjie's heart tightened. In fact, she was still somewhat tempted by the Shi family's method.

Although she was called Second Mrs. Lian in the Jia family, she was not a very important person outside. The men in the Jia family naturally could not leave, and the old lady, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing and other people who had imperial titles could not leave either. But it was not necessarily the case for her.

Sometimes she thought that if the situation in the capital really reached that point, she would take her daughter Qiaojie away from the limelight temporarily, and decide whether to return after the war was over.

"Sister Feng, what's going on outside? We are just hearsay!"

"The man from the Xue family came to the capital to seek refuge not only because business in Jiangnan was difficult, but because he simply couldn't make it. These days, there are wars everywhere, and the government is busy with its own affairs, so how can it have the energy to take care of other people's affairs? I'm afraid that even if he was killed on the way, the government wouldn't send anyone to deal with it, and his death would be in vain."

"When you leave the capital, you must bring enough gold, silver and other valuables with you. Otherwise, when you arrive in a new place, not only will you not be able to eat well but also live well. I'm afraid you may even have trouble making a living!"

"But Sister Feng, have you ever thought about what the result would be if a child carried gold through a busy city?"

  At this point, Feng Jieer already felt a little scared. Although the Shi family's operation did not explicitly say how many people were taken away, she knew very well that it was impossible to secretly take so many people away. Besides, it was still unclear whether the people taken away at this time were reliable!

"Every man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a jade!"

Daiyu frowned. She had not considered this aspect, but based on Xichun's speculation, the result could only be this.

"No place to bury the dead!"

Xichun curled her lips and returned her gaze to the storybook in her hand. It was left by Jia Hong a long time ago, but even after reading it again, she still thought it was very good.
