serious man in the red chamber

Chapter 386 Chaotic Capital 3
The sun was still shining brightly in the morning, but now there were dark clouds, the weather was changeable, and things were unpredictable.

Outside the big tent of the Chinese army

A row of raised horns pointed directly at the gray sky. The whining horns sounded sadly over the camp, followed by the sound of heavy drums.

In the Yongwei camp, groups of soldiers heard the sound and began to gather.

Xie Qiong, Duke of Dingguo, was riding on his horse and urgently summoned the army.

Behind him, generals such as Yang Dayong, Zhang Cheng and Wang Dalei were riding on their horses with solemn faces.

The drums got louder and louder.

The sound of rapid hooves and running was earth-shattering.

After the three drums were played, the cavalry was already in formation, and the infantry was also in formation.

Xie Qiong tightened the reins and issued an order loudly: "Commander's military order, someone in the court is plotting evil, and ordered us to enter the capital immediately. Let's go!"

The cavalry was launched instantly, and in the dust raised, the large group of soldiers and horses rushed out of the camp.

Xie Qiong turned to Yang Dayong and Zhang Cheng: "I'll leave the camp to you."

Yang Dayong and Zhang Cheng replied in unison: "Yes."

Xie Qiong shouted: "Enter the city!" and took the lead in galloping out.

Wang Dalei and other generals swarmed to catch up.

At the same time, in the prison tent opposite to the gate, Eunuch Zhao was sitting cross-legged in front of the table in the middle with his eyes slightly closed.

There is a cup of tea on the low table, with a few wild yellow chrysanthemums floating in the tea.

The eunuchs and eunuchs of the Supervisor of Ceremonies stood on both sides in silence.

A eunuch in blue broke in angrily and said loudly: "Godfather, it's bad. The Yongwei camp has rebelled!"

The sound of people shouting and horses neighing can be heard clearly.

Everyone was silent and looked at Eunuch Zhao.

After a while, Eunuch Zhao opened his eyes and looked at the scented tea in front of him, silent.

Yang Dayong personally brought this cup of tea, saying it was game meat sent from Wanping County, and he was invited to try it.

Wanping, Yehuangju, and Eunuch Zhao still don't understand that his family has fallen into the hands of Jia Hu, or is being monitored by Jia Hu's people.

After a period of silence, Eunuch Zhao spoke: "No one rebels, and the Yongwei camp will not rebel. News came from the capital that someone was taking advantage of His Majesty's recuperation to plot evil. Two officials have been assassinated, especially Jia Guozhang. An assassination was encountered at the root of the imperial city. The prince sent troops into the city to maintain order and suppress rebellion."

After everyone heard this, they all looked at each other and were stunned on the spot.

Eunuch Zhao stood up and walked slowly in the tent. His eyes slowly swept over everyone's faces: "You remember, whether the seventh prince is appointed as the prince or the ninth prince inherits the throne, , everyone in the world is surnamed Wu. Royal servants like us don’t need to bet! Go back and stay there, and don’t get involved in the affairs of the court. Otherwise, if you fall down, I can’t save you."

Everyone answered in unison: "Yes." They walked out in confusion.

Eunuch Zhao sighed, walked to the short table, bent down to pick up the bowl of tea, and drank it in several sips. It was bitter.
The sky was gray and full of clouds, and now a cold wind was blowing.

Beining County Prince's Mansion Backyard

In the cold wind came an authentic Kun opera by Kun Jiaoer in Wu dialect:
Dongfeng has no choice but to send another spring.

Good things are wasted, and the gains are due to many illnesses in spring.
Outside the newly built large flower hall, Jia Hu came in through the moon gate of the courtyard.

The civil servant's unique singing voice is light, graceful and has a unique charm. No wonder both Lin Daiyu and Jia Mu like her.

This little girl is still very articulate. Well, the troupe will be disbanded after the emperor's death, so it won't be easy for Jia Mu. She stays with Lin Daiyu and sings a few lines when she has nothing to do to relieve her fatigue.

When he arrived at the door of the big flower hall, Jia Hu took off his cloak, and the maid took it. He opened the cotton curtain and walked into the flower hall.

The kang in the flower hall was burning brightly. As soon as he stepped into the flower hall, the hot air hit him, and Jia Hu couldn't help but cough.

The civil servant who was singing a cappella immediately stopped and looked at Jia Hu.

Amber quickly came over and rubbed his back, "Second Master, please turn your face away first."

At this time, Zijuan brought a bowl of hot tea to Jia Hu and asked Jia Hu to take a few sips. Jia Hu took a breath and said to Hu Hu, "Okay." He took the tea bowl from Zijuan's hand and took another sip, then turned to the other side. Civil servant, "Keep singing."

Civil servant: "Yes." He replied and continued singing.

The sisters all arrived, and they were lying on the fire bed around Lin Daiyu, listening to the play and laughing.

If Jia Baoyu were here, he would definitely sigh: "What a beautiful picture of 'Winter Boudoir Gathering'!"

It's a pity that he doesn't have this blessing. Well, he should be crying in the hospital right now.

Their sister's maid and the group of deputy ladies all came over and ate all the melon seed peels.It is worth mentioning that Siqi was engaged, and the favor her mother asked for from Jia She was her childhood sweetheart cousin Pan Youan.

After Yingchun came out of the cabinet, they would marry together and work as stewards.

Jia Hu dragged a chair over to the Kang and sat down. He asked Hu Hui to pour tea, and then waved to Tanchun.

Tanchun stepped off the kang and asked with a smile: "Second brother, what do you want from me?"

Jia Hu thought for a while and looked at the civil servant: "Stop singing. You all go back."

The civil servant was stunned for a moment, then bowed and led Fang Guan, Ling Guan and the others out.

Sisters Lin Daiyu and Tanchun looked at Jia Hu in confusion.

Jia Hu said to Lin Daiyu: "I want to tell you something. You must be prepared. Don't be in a hurry! It's about the Xifu."

Lin Daiyu sat up.

Jia Hu cleared his throat and said, "The second master of Xifu was assassinated on the way to the Yamen. I heard that the injury was serious. The eldest master, Jia Lian and Baoyu all rushed to the Imperial Hospital." As he said that, he looked at Tanchun: "Now you are here. It’s not appropriate to stay here, go back. And you all, go back.”

Lin Daiyu: "Let me go and have a look too."

Jia Hu: "Forget it, we don't want to go through the outer four roads."

As soon as these words came out, Lin Daiyu was stunned.

Sister Tanchun was also covered.

Xichun spoke: "What about me?"

Jia Hu: "Go and see the old lady. After all, she has raised you for several years."

Xichun nodded.

Xue Baochai spoke: "If the old lady asks,"

Jia Hu: "Just say that I, a member of the Outer Four, cannot reach the future emperor's mother clan." After saying that, he waved his hand: "Go ahead."

Everyone looked at each other and then walked out with different moods.

Lin Daiyu got off the kang and winked at Amber and Zicuckoo.

The two understood and led Qingwen, Xueyan and Xiangling out quietly.

Lin Daiyu then stepped forward and held the tea bowl to Jia Hu: "What's going on?"

Jia Hu took the tea bowl and put it down, pulled Lin Daiyu onto his lap and sat down, hugging him into his arms: "If I don't support the Ninth Prince, will you blame me?"

Lin Daiyu was startled, then shook her head slightly: "I will support you in whatever you do."

After a pause, "I will stand with you in this life, no matter what you face."

Jia Hu smiled.

Lin Daiyu leaned against his chest: "I know you are hiding something from me, but you can't leave me. Even if you die, I will die with you." After saying that, she raised her head slightly and looked at Jia Hu. .

Jia Hu had no choice but to nod.

Lin Daiyu closed her eyes and buried her head tightly on Jia Hu's chest.

Jia Hu hugged her with one hand and squeezed her little hand with the other. "Don't worry, nothing will happen." He leaned into her ear and said, "I have transferred the old battalion and part of the cavalry into the city."

Lin Daiyu raised her head and looked at Jia Hu with questioning eyes.

Jia Hu smiled and told her something he could say.

Lin Daiyu frowned slightly after hearing this: "Then what happened to the second uncle?"

Jia Hu: "This is none of my business."

Lin Daiyu was so shrewd that she sat upright suddenly: "Is he uncle?!"

Jia Hu held her in his arms with one hand, gently caressed her back with the other hand, and whispered: "You are a pregnant woman, don't be surprised. The eldest master personally promised that, The second master will be fine."

After listening to his words, Lin Daiyu put her hands around Jia Hu's waist, put her head on Jia Hu's chest, and said softly: "How sad will the old lady be when she knows this?"

Jia Hu gently touched her head. The old lady was definitely sad. After all, only mother and son knew about Jia Zheng's preference. Jia She was really capable of killing her!

Suddenly, the chiming clock in the corner rang.

Jia Hu looked up and saw that it was time for the Yongwei camp to enter the city.
