Sword of the Red Chamber from Heaven

Chapter 663: The women discuss the war situation, where to go

"Sister Lin, Sister Xichun is here."

Baochai gently tapped her chin with her right hand, still thinking about the current situation in the capital and where they should go, when she suddenly heard Tanchun's voice, which attracted her attention again.

"Xichun."

After muttering something to herself, Baochai turned around and looked outside the pavilion, only to see Lin Daiyu and Jia Xichun coming together.

Some time ago, Jia Xichun caught a cold. Everyone in the mansion, both the servants and the masters, knew about it.

After all, a young lady had not been seen for more than twenty days. Even if it was the least noticeable Yingchun, the old lady would have to ask about her specifically, let alone Jia Xichun.

She is the most special among the girls in the two mansions. She has a close relationship with Marquis Guanjun Jiahong. She is the youngest and likes to be unconventional. Even the old lady has been criticized by her several times. Such a girl is probably rare in the whole capital.

"Sister Yingchun, Sister Bao."

Daiyu greeted the two girls who were older than her with a smile, while Tanchun spoke first.

"Sister Lin, Fourth Sister, you are here!"

Xichun nodded, left Daiyu, and trotted over to Yingchun. Among the girls in the mansion, she was the closest to Yingchun.

"Second Sister"

She first called out "Second Sister", and then greeted the three girls, Tanchun, Baochai, and Xiangyun.

"Third sister, Sister Bao, Sister Xiangyun, what were you talking about just now? Why do you look so sad?"

Tanchun and Xiangyun looked at each other, then looked away without leaving a trace, and neither of them said anything, remaining silent together.

Yingchun, on the other hand, said, "It's not something that can't be told, but I heard from the servants that the Prince of Dongping rebelled and the army sent by the court was defeated. He seems to be going to continue to attack the capital. I don't know if the court can stop him."

"If we can't stop it, we don't know what to do?"

Hearing this, Xichun turned her head and blinked twice at Daiyu, as if to say, See, I was right! !

When Daiyu saw this scene, she couldn't help feeling a little funny. This little girl was still so clever and eccentric.

"Are you worried about being captured by some soldier and made his wife?"

Xichun put her arms around Yingchun's neck and spoke in her ear with a smile.

When Yingchun heard this, she swallowed twice subconsciously and her eyes became a little evasive. Among the storybooks left by Jia Hong, Xichun and Daiyu read the most, but it was she who listened to Xichun the most.

There are many plots there, describing the dynasty's defeat, the noble ladies in the capital, including princesses, were captured and made maids, and finally tortured to death. She didn't want to experience such a fate. "Puff."

Xichun was in close contact with Yingchun at this time, with half of her body pressed against hers, so she could feel all the reactions that Yingchun naturally had.

Although the script left by Jia Hong is very interesting, some things cannot stand up to scrutiny. If we put ourselves in the same situation and put ourselves in the present, if the imperial army was defeated, it is hard to say whether the King of Dongping would dare to lead the rebels into the city.

You know, the King of Dongping only relies on the advantage of firearms, but the quantity of those things is limited after all, and they are not supplied continuously. If you really want to capture the capital, the amount you need to consume will increase exponentially.

The reality is that by the time they break through the city gate and enter the capital, the thunder bombs in their hands will be exhausted. At this time, it is hard to say whether they still have the courage to come in.

You know, there are still a lot of troops outside the capital. If these people make a surprise attack, then Prince Dongping will be walking into a trap if he enters the city. According to the prince's calculations, the chances of him not coming in will be even greater.

"Yes, my second sister is gentle and kind, and she is also a beauty. If we are not careful, she will be captured by those rough men and become their concubine."

Yingchun didn't say anything, but she was no fool. She heard the teasing in Xichun's tone and asked back, "Sister, aren't you worried at all?"

Xichun didn't let go of Yingchun's hand, her little head still resting on her shoulder. She whispered back, "What's the point of worrying? This matter is not something we can decide. Even if the sky collapses, there are still tall people to hold it up! Instead of living in fear and anxiety, it's better to laugh and live happily every day."

"When the time comes, we will naturally know what we should do."

Yingchun sighed in her heart. This sounded like something Xichun would say. She just thought that Xichun was still young and couldn't hold too many things in her heart.

However, if one does not plan for the future, he will inevitably have immediate worries. The time for the capital to fight the rebels is now, and the outcome will probably be revealed soon. Yingchun feels that it is very necessary to consider future matters at this moment.

But this matter was exactly the same as Xichun had said. Even if she saw it clearly, it would not play any role in the outcome of the battlefield. Winning or losing was not something that a girl like her could decide.

"Fourth sister, there are some things that we should think more about. I just hate that I am not a man. Otherwise, I would ride my horse to the battlefield, kill more bandits, make a name for myself, and establish a career. Even if I cannot be compared with Brother Xuan, it would be enough to make me happy in my life!!"

Tanchun's words were still sonorous and powerful, and the girls present stared in amazement. Killing the bandits sounded exciting, but they had a rough idea of ​​how difficult it was in actual practice.

Killing an enemy on the battlefield, even if it was just one person, and then returning alive, was a hellish task. And for these young ladies from the boudoir, being able to pick up a knife was considered lucky when they were on the battlefield. Not to mention killing an enemy, they might not even dare to kill a chicken.

"Third sister, what an aspiration!!"

Xichun raised her thumb and praised him generously.

But when Baochai heard this, she did not show much expression.

Tanchun's words can only be an unrealistic fantasy. The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly. If you don't have any connections, you won't be able to accumulate military merits at all. In fact, you may die as soon as you enter the battlefield.

There are many women in the world, but there are also many men, many good men, but among so many people, how many of them can succeed? Not all illegitimate sons are like Jia Huan, and neither is Jia Hong.

But among this huge number of people, isn't he the only one who can reach Jia Hong's level? So Baochai disagrees with Tanchun's words.
