Sword of the Red Chamber from Heaven

"what!!"

In a Taoist temple outside the capital, a lame old Taoist had a look of suspicion. He clearly felt that the person was here just now, but when he came here, he found that the person he was looking for was not here.

"Lure the tiger away from the mountain."

The Taoist narrowed his eyes, and an idea came to his mind, but he shook his head the next moment. Based on the current situation, it was hard to say whether the other party did it on purpose.

He first looked around. The feng shui of this place was good. Compared with the hustle and bustle in the capital, it was much quieter. It was also a good place for healing. Then he turned around and looked at the Taoist temple in front of him, which was called Xuanzhen Temple.

As far as he knew, this Taoist temple was built with money from the Jia Mansion, and Jia Jing from the East Mansion became a monk and practiced Buddhism here. So it made sense for Jia Hong to appear here. Perhaps he did not show up on purpose, but because he sensed the movement from the Marquis' Mansion and accidentally revealed his aura.

The Taoist hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and floated inside. To him, the affairs within the mansion were just a piece of cake, and success or failure did not matter. However, Jia Hong was a thorn in his side, and he could tell which was more important. If he could get rid of Jia Hong, he would have the final say on the affairs in the capital. Having one more Prince of Dongping or one less prince would not really have much impact.

He had also considered Jia Hong's current situation carefully. If he had fully recovered from his injuries, given his personality, he would definitely not hide in the dark and not dare to show up. Now that such a big thing had happened in the capital, even the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry and the Dongping rebels were destroyed together, but he had not shown up. This alone explained a lot of problems.

That is, Jia Hong has not recovered from his injuries yet and is completely unable to change the current situation, or even if he shows up, he can't stop all this from happening. Either way, it shows that the other party is not in a good condition now.

As for himself, the worse Jia Hong's condition was, the more advantageous it was to him. Now that he had finally found the other party's trace, he definitely could not let him go so easily.

Unfortunately, it was dark now and the Xuanzhen Temple was completely silent. Apart from the incense and candles burning in front of the statues of the Three Pure Ones, there seemed to be no other movement in the entire hall.

In a room in the temple, there was a bed against the wall, with a blanket and a pillow on it. The oil lamp that had just been extinguished still smelled of lamp oil. This room was originally an ordinary room, but strangely, there were two pairs of shoes next to the bed.

With the mottled light from the window, I could vaguely see that there seemed to be not one person but two people on the bed, but one of them was sitting straight, as if very nervous.

Until a voice was heard, breaking the silence that could be heard even if a pin drop was heard.

"Little sister, there are only two of us in the room."

"But this is my first time outside, Brother Xuan, I..."

  If we couldn't see the smile in those mischievous eyes, everyone would probably think it was something else!

Of course, this scene did not escape the attention of the other person in the room.

"Then let go of your hand."

Obviously, these words did not have the desired effect. In the darkness, the quilt just bulged up and down, and on the side where the pillow was placed, two heads were revealed, one big and one small.

"Stingy guy, what's wrong with a hug? It's freezing in the mountains. Brother Hong didn't say he would come here before he left."

Feeling that the dishonest girl in his arms had found a comfortable position again, Jia Hong curled up the corners of his mouth and smiled silently.

The thing is, when he was leaving the Jia Mansion, little Xichun woke up unexpectedly. When she learned that Jia Hong was going to leave the Jia Mansion and try to lure the tiger away from the mountain, she followed him relentlessly.

But it just so happened that Xichun followed him. After Jia Hong attracted the old Taoist Miaomiao, he used the worldly aura of little Xichun to cover up his own aura. That's why the previous scene appeared. Taoist Miaomiao felt that he was not wrong. Jia Hong was indeed here, but he was not alone. There was a little girl beside him.

Time passed by minute by minute. Taoist Miaomiao walked around the Taoist temple for two hours but did not find anything unusual. It was not until the sky turned pale that he gave up and left.

Nothing happened here overnight. As the bell in the Taoist temple rang, a new day slowly began.

Compared with the peaceful situation at Xuanzhen Temple, the capital city was exceptionally lively last night.

The Royal Guards surrounded the Marquis Guanjun's Mansion. They were first blocked for almost an incense stick of time, and then they were intimidated by the girls in the mansion. The search was only hastily concluded, and in the end, the prince mentioned in the secret report was not found.

On the contrary, the fifth prince entered the palace to meet the emperor in the middle of the night. Later, Lin Ruhai submitted a memorial to the emperor, and the imperial guards surrounded the prince's mansion without stopping. However, the final result was not as lucky as that of the marquis' mansion.

Not only was Prince Dongping found in the palace, but thunder bombs were also found in the warehouse. When Emperor Ming Kang learned the news, his expression was as exciting as it could be.

The Fifth Prince, who was in the Imperial Study at the time, turned pale with fright. He knew in his heart who was behind the Prince of Dongping. It was not unfair to say that he was involved, but he had never seen a thunder bomb before.

While he cried out that he was wronged, Emperor Ming Kang punished him by making him kneel in the imperial study all night. He did not let him go back until dawn.

The capital city, which had experienced a war, welcomed a new sunrise. When people saw the notice posted by the court, most of them cried for joy. The war was finally over, so they began to spread the news. For a moment, the capital city seemed to have regained its vitality.

"Mom, good news, good news!!"

"Mother."

At the Mansion of Duke Rong, Jia Zheng had just arrived at Lady Jia's place and told her the good news when he heard Jia She's voice coming from outside the door.

Grandmother Jia raised her hand, signaling Jia Zheng to stay calm. Even if it was good news, there was no need to rush. When Jia Zheng heard his elder brother's voice, he smiled and shook his head.

It was the first time that he could understand why his elder brother came here at this time.

"Mother, good news. The Dongping King's troops were defeated last night and the rebellion is over."

I would rather be a peace dog than a person in troubled times.

This is true for ordinary people, and in fact, it is also true for most wealthy families. Now that the rebellion is over, it is a great thing for both the people who go from street to street to tell others the news and for most of the powerful people in the capital.

When Grandmother Jia heard this, a rare look of relief appeared on her face.

"It's over~~"
