Sword of the Red Chamber from Heaven

Chapter 697: Meeting at the Marquis' Mansion, Storm Arrives

"it's over??"

In the capital, the Marquis of Guanjun’s Mansion.

Miaoyu and Cailuan sat opposite each other. At this time, the two girls behaved a little strangely.

As for the noise coming from outside, both women knew what it came from. The thunder bombs in the hands of Prince Dongping's troops had been almost used up in the previous battle. Even if there were some, they were only a small part. In other words, an explosion of this scale was definitely not caused by Prince Dongping's troops.

“That person showed up.”

Miaoyu sighed. If it were just the remnants of Prince Dongping's army, the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry would not have used thunder bombs. But the current situation meant that the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry had encountered an enemy they could not resist. The thing they least wanted to happen finally happened.

Cai Luan lowered her head and did not look at the girl in front of her. Perhaps at this moment, the girl had complicated feelings. After all, this matter was her idea. Because Miaoyu went to the Duke of Rong's Mansion, she did not have time to discuss this decision with the other party. The consequence of this decision might be the annihilation of the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry, which would in turn affect many matters later.

"Good fortune is the root of misfortune, and misfortune is the root of good fortune."

Miaoyu withdrew her gaze and looked at Cailuan.

Right now, the capital city is surrounded by ambushes on all sides. Under this deep pool of water, there are countless giant crocodiles lurking, waiting for an opportunity to strike. However, it has not yet become completely chaotic. The fundamental reason is that the strength of all parties is almost the same, and they check and balance each other, so they can live in peace.

It doesn’t mean that the people in the capital don’t have any other ulterior motives. The swordplay that is seen in public is hidden behind the scenes. Just in the Marquis’ Mansion, I don’t know how many spies they have caught.

Now, the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry, which was the support of the Guanjun Marquis' Mansion, was the first to run into trouble. Those hiding in the dark might not be able to bear it anymore, and the situation in the entire capital city was linked to a single move. The demise of the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry and the Dongping Prince's troops was more like a fuse, a fuse that completely ignited the capital city.

Now is the time when all kinds of hidden dangers in Dakang are surfacing. The struggle among those princes will completely sound the clarion call after this earth-shaking situation.

Whether this dynasty will be rebuilt from the ashes, or will be completely defeated and become a thing of the past, the result will be known in the next very short time.

"younger sister."

Cailuan didn't know whether Miaoyu was telling the truth or just trying to comfort her, and her tone became even more complicated.

"The sky won't fall, but the world has its destiny. If the world really had no rules and anyone could interfere, the world would have been in chaos long ago!"

"Besides, even if the sky really fell, there were still tall people to hold it up. How could you and I control the situation? The decision you made at that time was the most appropriate for the situation at that time, and it was not wrong."

A trace of bitterness flashed across Cailuan's lips. She knew whether it was right or wrong. This was decided by her and Old Monster Xu. She just didn't expect to receive news from Jia Hong at this time, which caught her off guard.

"Where is he? I want to see him."

Cai Luan was silent for a moment, then spoke again.

Miaoyu thought about it and finally told the truth.

"At Miss Xichun's place in the Jia Mansion, there is a girl from the Xue family. It seems that she was accidentally rescued by Xue Baoqin. She had been in a coma until a while ago, when she woke up. Xichun was afraid of suspicion, so she pretended to be sick for two months."

Upon hearing this result, Cailuan couldn't help but clench her hands that were placed on her thighs.

"Why is the injury so serious?"

Although she and Miaoyu had already speculated before, she was still stunned when she heard this result. Miaoyu reached out and poured a cup of tea for the other party. Suddenly, the fragrance of tea gradually filled the room.

Miaoyu then pushed the teacup in front of Cailuan, and with a hint of fear in her tone, she said softly, "As long as the person comes back, it's fine."

As someone who can know the future and the past through divination, Miaoyu is actually the one who is most tormented by Jia Hong's disappearance. She only shares good news with Cailuan and the people around her. She never tells them the bad news, but secretly sends people to investigate.

In this girl's heart, as long as Jia Hong can come back safely, nothing else matters.

"This little bastard!!"

Cai Luan reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes and cursed in a very uncooperative manner, but this sentence only made people feel sad, and there was no anger at all.

"The old Taoist is looking for him now. If I'm not mistaken, the Dongping King's troops have two targets, one of which is him. It's just that things didn't go as planned, so his efforts were in vain. So it may not be a bad thing for you to send the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry out!"

Many things are actually like this, with cause and effect intertwined and entangled. There are good sides and bad sides, and we can only know whether it is good or bad at the end.

"Since he has recovered, why is he..."

Cai Luan took out a handkerchief, wiped away her tears, and then asked.

Miaoyu sighed softly.

"It's hard to explain this matter in a few words, but one thing is certain. For now, he is safer in the Jia Mansion than in the Marquis' Mansion."

The matter of destiny could not be explained in just a few words, and Miaoyu did not intend to talk about it with Cailuan at this time, so she just mentioned it briefly.

Then she continued, "Send someone to check outside the city. If my guess is correct, the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry may not be completely wiped out. Their bodies have been trained with secret medicine, so they won't die so easily. If they are just seriously injured, let them evacuate as soon as possible!"

Cai Luan raised her head, a look of surprise flashed across her eyes, but she felt that what Miaoyu said was not wrong. With her body strengthened by the secret medicine, perhaps she could really resist.

"But what if those people go to investigate?"

Miaoyu shook her head.

"Everything was reduced to ashes by the thunder bomb. Isn't it normal that there are no bodies?"

Cai Luan was suddenly speechless.

"Also, there is one more thing. You'd better not go to see him. There are too many spies in the capital now. If you go to the Jia Mansion without a suitable reason, it will be too conspicuous and easily arouse suspicion from some people. It will not be worth it."

Miaoyu spoke very carefully. Cailuan knew that she was not joking. After hesitating for a long time, she nodded.

Looking at Cailuan's departing back, Miaoyu's eyes became complicated.

Now that part of the Dongping King's power has been eliminated, unrest in the capital is inevitable. Especially in the current situation, the change of imperial power, the calculations of the lame old Taoist, the plans of the nobles, and the spying from the upper world, everything will come to light.

"Hey"
