Sword of the Red Chamber from Heaven

"My Lord, this is..."

Not long after that, there was another person in Xichun's room. It was Luyi, who was sent by Jia Hong to investigate the situation in the capital.

She looked at the girl in the room with a strange look in her eyes.

  Jia Hong was no longer the patient who couldn't even move before. Even she was no different from a child in front of Jia Hong. However, such a powerless girl stood in front of Jia Hong.

Seeing that Luyi didn't seem to be surprised at all by Jia Hong's existence, Ping'er knew that her previous guess was true, but now it was too late to know it.

The person who came was none other than Xichun's personal maid. She remembered that her name was Luyi, and she was sent by the Marquis' Mansion.

"It's just a coincidence!"

Jia Hong shook his head. Judging from Ping'er's reaction, there was no scheming behind discovering his whereabouts. It was probably just a coincidence.

"Sir, I remember this girl is Wang Xifeng's maid. The situation is delicate right now. Do you want to use her?"

Luyi glanced at Ping'er and felt a little hesitant, but she finally confirmed it.

Although I don't know how long Ping'er has been here, it definitely hasn't been very long. After all, it was only a stick of incense when I left, and when I came back, Jia Hong had already started a confrontation with this girl.

If Jia Hong wanted to solve the problem directly, this girl would probably have disappeared completely by now. However, at the moment, the girl is still standing here, which shows that Jia Hong does not have much murderous intention in his heart.

Perhaps she understood what Lu Yi said, Ping'er subconsciously took two steps back, but at this time, she said nothing. There was one thing she was very clear about, Jia Hong was determined and would not change his decision because of others' pleas for mercy or persuasion. It might not be helpful if she said something, so it was better to remain silent.

"He's my man."

Jia Hong's eyes flickered twice. Ping'er understood what Lu Yi said, so how could he not understand? Then he thought about it and replied again.

  Lu Yi was stunned. When did this happen? ?

She looked at Ping'er with some disbelief, only to see that Ping'er's delicate little face suddenly turned red, with two blushes appearing on her cheeks.

"Ping'er came to see me before because of Wang Xifeng's matter."

Jia Hong didn't say much, just made a few remarks.

Ping'er heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Jia Hong had no intention of killing her. She was surprised and happy to see Jia Hong. At that time, the people in the capital were in panic and the Jia family was on the verge of collapse. Facing the sudden arrival of King Dongping, both the Jia family and the capital needed a stabilizing force. In her mind, Jia Hong was the stabilizing force that could suppress everything.

Before Lu Yi spoke, Ping'er had not actually considered her own safety. She had never believed that Jia Hong would be that kind of cruel executioner. But Lu Yi's words made her feel frightened again. No matter what Jia Hong's plans were, his whereabouts were not suitable to be exposed at the moment. And she knew that only a dead person could keep it secret the best.

"Ping'er, thank you for not killing me, Lord."

Looking at the other person's calm and composed appearance, Lu Yi actually looked up to this girl in her heart. She was not joking, many people at this time might not perform as well as the girl in front of her.

Of course, this is also because Luyi did not see the scene when Ping'er just saw Jia Hong. Ping'er's performance before was not as good as it is now.

"Okay, you go back first! My whereabouts need to be kept secret. You know what to say and what not to say, right?"

Jia Hong thought about it and decided to let Ping'er go back first. At present, his spiritual sense could cover the two Duke's Mansions. If Ping'er really wanted to say something, he could make her shut up before she spoke. "Don't worry, Lord Marquis. Ping'er knows what to say and what not to say."

"If grandma asks about it later, I will say that Miss Xichun went out and was not in the yard. I waited for a while, but unfortunately Miss Xichun did not come back, so I came back first."

Ping'er's words were reasonable and had no loopholes. Jia Hong also knew that the girl in front of him was a meticulous and thoughtful person, so he waved his hand, indicating that she could go back first.

Ping'er bent down, bowed, and slowly exhaled. It was obvious that Ping'er was still very nervous at this moment, but she did not show it.

After opening the door, Ping'er's expression returned to normal, but there was a gleam of light in her eyes. The girl was nervous when she came here. After all, in such a precarious situation, who could have a place to settle down?

But when she left, the girl was calm and unexpectedly relaxed, as if the haze that had shrouded her heart and the capital city had suddenly dissipated, and the sky was bright again.

"Squeak!"

Accompanied by the sound of a door closing, Lu Yi finally shook her head gently.

Jia Hong roughly guessed what Lu Yi was thinking, and he shook his head.

"Alright, after all, he's one of us, don't be so murderous!"

Lu Yi's mouth twitched. She had a murderous heart? Compared with the other party, she felt that she was harmless.

"Tell me, what's the situation outside?"

Then, Jia Hong asked again.

Lu Yi stood there and thought for a while before replying, "Not so good. Although the capital is under martial law, there are still many people who want to leave. I just took a quick look on the street and saw several carriages heading towards the north gate. There were not many people accompanying them, only the driver and a waiter. As for how many people were in the carriages, I can't be sure yet, but they should be leaving the capital."

At this special moment, the more people you bring with you, the harder it will be to act. On the contrary, only those who bring with them a few people are those who really plan to leave Beijing.

"Didn't the palace order a city closure?"

During ancient sieges, an order would usually be issued to seal off the city a few days in advance. The better scenario was that people could only enter but not leave, in order to prevent the news from leaking out.

Although Emperor Kang of the Ming Dynasty had never been to the battlefield, he should have had such measures and awareness.

Lu Yi frowned and replied uncertainly: "It should be an order. What I am wondering is how those people got through?"

Jia Hong stood in the room in hesitation for a moment, thinking about something. If he wanted to leave at this time, he would definitely need to inform the general guarding the city. That person was the emperor's confidant. Without Emperor Ming Kang's permission, he estimated that the other party would not dare to let those people leave the city.

If that were the case, then these people leaving the city should have been instructed by Emperor Kang of Ming. As for what exactly he wanted to do, Jia Hong was still unsure. He had only a simple guess, which was to settle the score later.

  Emperor Kangdi of Ming Dynasty was capable of doing such a thing.
