serious man in the red chamber

Chapter 482 Liaodong Incident 2
The afterglow of the setting sun splashes quietly on the red bricks and gold tiles of Kunning Palace.

The silence outside Kunning Palace was broken by the sound of hurried footsteps. Ma Shun greeted several eunuchs holding food boxes and walked in.

Jia Hu didn't like that long dining table, and Lin Daiyu didn't like it even more, so he moved the big round ebony table to the dining room of Kunning Palace.

Lin Daiyu, Yingchun, Tanchun and Xichun sat around the round table talking.

Each of the four people had a pair of chopsticks and an empty bowl placed in front of them.

Glancing at the empty dining table, Zijuan turned her gaze to the palace door.

In order to give Jia Hu and the court a reputation for being kind to scholars, Lin Daiyu asked the imperial kitchen to prepare dinner for the scholars participating in the scientific examination, and asked to prepare dinner for the scholars first, and then prepare dinner for Kunning Palace.

Ma Shun had already arrived, and was currently peeping outside the palace gate, gesturing to Zicuckoo inside.

Zicuckoo understood and said to Lin Daiyu: "My Lady, dinner is here."

Lin Daiyu: "Then bring it in."

Zijuan: "Yes. Bring in the dinner."

The horse waved smoothly.

Several eunuchs carrying meals walked in in a row.

Dinner was served in no time.

Lin Daiyu gave Xichun a piece of meat with chopsticks and said to Yingchun and Tanchun, "Let's eat."

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps.

Ma Shun's face changed with fright, and he whispered: "Damn it!" Then he went out to question him.

Jia She burst in like a gust of wind, raised the military report in his hand, and said breathlessly: "We won the battle."

Yingchun, Tanchun, and Xichun all stood up.

Lin Daiyu also stood up.

Jia She took a breath: "Great victory in Southern Xinjiang! Xie Qiong's Southern Xinjiang Army defeated the invading Annan people and recovered all the lost territory. Counting time, they have already invaded Annan Kingdom from Zhennang Pass!" After that, he raised his hands. Submit that military report.

Lin Daiyu took the military newspaper and read it, and then she also became happy: "Okay, okay," and said to Jia She, "Send someone to report this to the emperor immediately!"

Jia She: "The postman has already set off."

Before he could finish his words, Wang Hetang hurriedly walked in with a memorial in his hands: "Empress, the six hundred miles from Guangdong are urgent! All the main forces of the Guangdong Navy have entered the port and docked, and Wu Chengxian has also sailed to Beijing. The crisis in the southeast is over! "

As soon as this statement came out, Lin Daiyu was overjoyed.

Jia She was also overjoyed. He grabbed the memorial and hurriedly read it.

At this moment, the voice of the eunuch on duty came from outside the palace door: "Queen Qi, the abbot is here!"

Lin Daiyu looked at the palace door: "Please come in."

At this time, everyone's eyes were looking at the palace door.

Before entering the door, Lin Ruhai was stunned. She subconsciously looked behind her and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lin Daiyu smiled: "What's wrong with father?"

Lin Ruhai: "Yes. The tributes from the imperial examination kowtowed outside the Qianqing Palace to express their gratitude and then left the palace."

Lin Daiyu smiled and nodded with satisfaction.

Jia She handed the memorial in his hand to Lin Ruhai: "It's six hundred miles from Guangdong, expedited."

Lin Ruhai was also overjoyed when he took the exhibition and looked at it.

Lin Daiyu handed over the military report again: "Good news from southern Xinjiang."

"Oh?"

Lin Ruhai cheered up and hurriedly took the exhibition and said loudly: "Well done!" He quickly said to Jia She and Wang Hetang: "Let's go back and discuss how to mobilize grain, grass and ordnance for Xie Qiong. There is also the Guangdong Navy, or Let them cooperate with the Southern Xinjiang Army to attack Annan from the waterway."

Wang Hetang nodded in agreement.

Lin Daiyu: "Thank you for your hard work." Then she said to Ma Shun: "Go and tell the imperial kitchen to prepare dinner and send it to the elders."

Ma Shun: "Yes!" He answered and walked out quickly.Jia She, Lin Ruhai, and Wang Hetang said: "Thank you, the Queen, for your kindness. I resign!" After saying that, they bowed and left.

As the footsteps faded away, Xichun spoke: "Sister-in-law, is the war in southern Xinjiang about to end?"

After hearing this, Lin Daiyu smiled bitterly in her heart. The destruction of Annan was just the beginning. Next, Siam, Zhenla, Tianzhu, etc. would all become the targets of the Southern Xinjiang Legion's conquest.

Xichun: "Sister-in-law?"

Lin Daiyu came back to her senses: "Yeah." She smiled and said, "Let's eat."

Lanterns and torches illuminated the army's march.

Dinner is also being served here.

Jia Hu, Lin San, and Xue Pan were also sitting around a round table.

There were more than a dozen bowls of various dishes on the table, large and small.

Xue Pan took a sip of wine and said: "I don't understand why that bitch insists on going through so much trouble. He can only live a good life. Just wait, if you offend me one day, kill him with one knife. I will pay with my life, and everyone will be clean."

Lin San put down his chopsticks, looked at Jia Hu cautiously, and then said, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Xue Pan: "You don't understand the pain in my heart!" As he said this, he poured another full glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.

Jia Hu looked at him: "You are miserable! If you cause trouble, you slap your ass and leave, leaving my aunt alone at home. My aunt is really miserable."

Xue Pan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Am I being unfilial?"

Jia Hu and Lin San both nodded.

Xue Pan was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, he raised his hand and slapped himself, and then wanted to slap him again.

"All right!"

Jia Hu stopped him and said, "If you really realize your mistake, you can get rid of those bad habits in the future, honor your aunt, and make up for the mistakes you made before."

Xue Pan stood up and filled up the wine for Jia Hu, then filled up the wine for Lin San, then filled up the wine for himself, then raised the wine glass and said: "Today, your majesty and Commander Lin are invited to be witnesses. I, Xue Pan, If you don’t change your life, it will be like this cup!”

He tilted his neck and drank, then slammed the wine glass to the ground.

The wine glass was lying on the ground intact.

After a moment of silence, Xue Pan raised his foot and stepped on it hard, and a crisp cracking sound came.

Jia Hu and Lin San looked at each other and laughed.

Xue Pan sat down with a red face.

Jia Hu picked up the wine glass: "After drinking this glass of wine, let's all go back and have a rest. When we cut off Gan Xiaosi's head, we can celebrate again!" After that, he drank it in one gulp.

Lin San also finished it in one gulp.
The sky was getting brighter. Qian Xiaosi stood on the wall of Haicheng. There was a layer of dew on his head, eyebrows, beard and shoulders. He looked deeply into the east. There was Shangjing City, but he could not go back. .

The last elite of the Eight Banners were all folded under the Liaoyang City. Even if he wanted to run away now, he was unable to escape the pursuit of the Yongwei Battalion cavalry.

Qian Xiaosi didn't want to run away anymore. The emperor had his own way of dying, and he would rather die on the battlefield.

The golden sun broke through the clouds little by little. When the first ray of sunlight shone on the walls of Haicheng, the warning bell rang. The Manchu and Qing Tatars who had been prepared rushed to the top of the city, bows and arrows ready, and they were ready. !

Outside the city, the overwhelming Imperial Army came in force, and the entire ground was shaking slightly.

The artillery on the city wall of Haicheng had long been blown up by the defenders, and the army stopped about a mile away from the city wall.

Under the horrified eyes of the Manchu and Qing Tatars, artillery pieces were pushed out one after another.

Qian Xiaosi closed his eyes at this time and stood there quietly.

The bugle sound of "Woo-Woo" was blown, and the messengers also sent out cannon flags to the gunners at the same time.

The muzzle flames of the black holes are spraying!

In an instant, the sky outside Haicheng collapsed and the earth shook. Although the Manchu and Qing Tatars reinforced the city wall, it still could not withstand the continuous bombardment of hundreds of artillery. In just three rounds of bombardment, part of the city wall collapsed. Then the artillery became even more fierce. The fierce fire tore open several huge gaps in the sea city wall!

The horn sound of "woo woo" sounded again, followed by the sound of drums!

Roars immediately sounded outside Haicheng, and countless soldiers attacked Haicheng!
Gan Xiaosi then opened his eyes, looked up at the rising sun, and then jumped down
