Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 126

That night,

The nobles in the capital, the imperial palace in the palace, the forbidden army, the frontier army and the Beijing camp in the Anhu camp in the capital, including the civil servants of the court, were all turbulent because of the arrival of Luo Yunhou from outside the pass to Beijing.

The army outside the pass is also called the frontier army by the court, and it is not included in the sequence of the nine provinces frontier army in Dawuguan.

After the last great victory, as the decisive force outside the pass, it became the frontier army system outside the pass that the imperial court said.

This is the last batch of frontier troops from the capital to participate in the big competition. So far, all the troops that need to participate in the big competition have arrived.

Needless to say, all the generals who led the troops looked down on each other, and each army thought that they were the strongest.

At the beginning, the frontier troops from the nine provinces who first entered Beijing believed that the Beijing Camp and the Forbidden Army were silver spears and wax heads, while the Beijing Camp and the Forbidden Army in the capital thought that the Frontier Army and the Frontier Army outside the pass were empty-handed, not worthy of their names, and they were arrogant Incomparable.

But during this period of time, they each sent people to inquire about each other's details. After seeing each other's strength, the leading generals were a little dignified. Unexpectedly, the opponent's strength was unexpected. The door can see the problem.

Especially the recent arrival of the frontier army outside the pass, the bloodthirsty evil spirit and strict military discipline made the generals of the army worried.

Anhu Camp in Beijing,

That night,

And in another hidden camp, a dark place.

The generals of the frontier army of the Duke's Mansion gathered together again in a tent, each found a place to sit there, and saw that everyone had come.

Niu Jizong spoke first;
"Except for the three of us who are here, let me tell you about what happened today. There are a lot of things. Listen up."

Niu Jizong took the lead in telling the story of Luo Yunhou's arrival today, especially the [-] horses handed over to the imperial army, but the frontier army was caught off guard.

Chen Ruiwen also knew the importance of this matter, and said bluntly after listening;
"Since this matter happened, there is no way to undo it at present. Even if there is a way, it will be useless. There is no way to get the war horse once it is in the hands of the imperial army. So I will express my point of view."

"What else do you think, if you have all the horses, why don't you go grab them?"

Liu Fang choked impatiently, and was immediately stopped by Hou Xiaolian.

"Wait for Raven to finish speaking. What are you in a hurry to grab? Where can I go to dream?"

Chen Ruiwen didn't want to argue either, both
"Wait for me to finish first. I mean, don't worry about this matter. This batch of war horses is a group that our frontier army will weed out, and most of them are ragged horses. So in a few years, these war horses will be useless. We still have to press The established strategy is to form an alliance outside the customs to resist other troops.”

"Then let me ask you, didn't you see Luo Yunhou and the commander-in-chief of the imperial army chatting and laughing there, and they are about to call each other brothers with their shoulders crossed."

Liu Fang spoke angrily about what happened in the evening.

"So what, the forbidden army will always be the forbidden army, they can only guard the isolated city, and the outside world is still controlled by the frontier army."

Chen Ruiwen explained grimly, everyone shuddered when they heard it, this is right, the imperial court is willing to leave the capital, the royal family will never be willing, even if there is a slight accident, the imperial family will not let the imperial army If you think about it this way, you can control things inside.

"Ruiwen is right. The military horses can only be obtained from the northern pass and outside the pass. As long as we are dedicated, the source of the Dawu cavalry's military horses depends on our face. The war horses are consumed quickly, which is too expensive. According to the established strategy, wait Let's congratulate him when he has moved and settled down."

Niu Jizong directly set the tone, the frontier army had no allies anymore, the situation became clearer, and there were fewer and fewer options.

"Brother Niu said that the situation of our frontier army is not very good. I never thought that the capital would be divided so quickly. If we don't stay together with one heart, there will be no place for us."

Shi Guangzhu sat down and said helplessly, but everyone who listened felt a little bit sad, when the frontier army was alone.

"What are you afraid of? The frontier army has always fought alone. If you want to move the frontier army, you have to ask our 20 elite frontier army whether they will agree."

Ma Shangzhi's words shocked the hearts of all the generals, their confidence returned, and they became more restrained.

Beijing tent,

Wang Ziteng sat there for a long time without saying a word. Today's news about Luo Yunhou has already spread throughout the capital.

And I know more details, I can't figure it out, why don't all the horses be given to the imperial army, and half of the horses are given to the Beijing camp.

Some kind of deal has been reached, and besides, there are channels to obtain war horses outside the pass, so I have to find a way to find a chance to meet this distant "nephew".

He glanced at the spy's letter again, which also said that the servants of Jia's family were arrested. Thinking of this gave him a headache, why didn't those people who had done more than fail did not die.

Beijing,

Rongguo Mansion,
In the West Courtyard of Rongxi Hall, Mother Jia called everyone together for dinner.

No one spoke at the table, even the man's table. Jia Zheng was thinking about the unfinished Marquis' Mansion after leaving the hall, and Jia Amnesty was because Luo Yunhou had come and whether he should tell him about the war horse.

But Jiamu's table was even more silent, Wang Xifeng's silence made it difficult for Li Wan to speak, and Sanchun didn't speak when he saw that the atmosphere was not right.

The second wife did not come because Baoyu felt unwell after eating early, but Mrs. Xing looked at Li Wan and Wang Xifeng strangely, hoping to see something from their faces, but she had heard everything.

Although the two of them are married as wives, they are still so glamorous, no wonder the rumors seem to be true, this daughter-in-law of Zhu can really hold her breath.

That's not right, this Feng Lazi looks like a normal person, but I heard about what happened in the mansion in the afternoon, didn't I tell the old lady about it, the current situation is not quite right.

Although Jia's mother didn't know what happened, she had never seen anyone in her life. Today was strange, and everyone had something on their minds. She raised her head and glanced at Mrs. Xing opposite, her eyes kept looking around, there must be something wrong.

"Everyone, what are you looking at there, tell my old lady."

Mrs. Xing was still thinking about something good, but she was surprised by Jia Mu's question, and lost all the chopsticks in her hand. Jia Mu knew that the matter was not small when she saw it.

Madam Xing picked up the chopsticks pretending to be calm, put them on the table, and then said slowly,

"Oh, mother, what's the matter with my daughter-in-law? Didn't I accidentally knock off the chopsticks?"

Mother Jia snorted coldly,
"It's such a coincidence that I scare you like this as soon as I speak. Come on, is it inside or outside the house?"

Hearing Mother Jia's questioning, everyone at the other tables looked this way, Jia Zheng and Jia She also looked over, and Jia She asked in a low voice,
"What's the matter? You can tell the people in the mansion, and even more so if you are outside the mansion."

Mrs. Xing couldn't do anything after hearing this, but she took a look at the two who were fine and began to worry about it.

"It's really something, but I don't know. I heard that it was this afternoon that Feng girl seemed to meet someone who came to the mansion to help save people. I don't know what happened afterwards. I thought the old lady knew."

"Save people, who are you saving?"

When Jia Mu heard the words, her eyes fixed, and she asked.

"My daughter-in-law doesn't know."

"Feng girl, what do you say?"

Wang Xifeng glanced at the eldest lady, but she couldn't avoid it, so she wanted to avoid it, and replied directly,
"Old Ancestor, I don't know. I just said that a servant came here to say that the Lord of Fuling County had arrested our people. How could it be possible? Our family did not go to Fuling County. Afterwards, Butler Lai said that he was responsible for handling this matter." I heard that he knew that servant."

"Oh, it's everyone's fault. If he can handle it, it will be fine. Be careful in the future, and don't hide everything."

"It's the ancestor, I thought it was a trivial matter."

Wang Xifeng laughed and said, Mrs. Xing's eyes widened and she couldn't believe it, this is what Feng girl said, what has been rumored outside, you and Zhu'er's daughter-in-law have become Luo Yunhou's new love.

"That's all, you see what you do."

Jia Amnesty complained about Mrs. Xing at the other table, which made Mrs. Xing angry, well, let's see how to deal with it later, Mrs. Xing's face changed, and she was crying in embarrassment.
"I don't know what's going on. For such a trivial matter, if I knew that Butler Lai could handle it, why should I mention Feng girl? This makes me a bad person inside and out."

Mrs. Xing deliberately emphasized her tone when she spoke, and she stopped for a while especially for a small matter. Jia's mother knew that the elders had complaints, so she didn't say anything else.

"Okay, stop here, let's eat."

Mrs. Xing just picked up a new pair of chopsticks and started to eat, and ate an extra bowl, biting so hard as if she had a grudge against the rice.

Li Wan looked at the farce on the table and didn't pay any attention to it, knowing that the things inside were not that simple. It seemed that Feng Lazi mentioned Lord Hou, so did it mean that it was Luo Yunhou Zhang Jinyu?

He is the only one who can do such an outrageous thing. The members of the Jia family have not noticed it. It is really a oversight.

After Wang Xifeng finished speaking, she didn't explain too much, and she ate her food in small bites. She really couldn't control this matter, so let them go.

There are still so many things that I keep from myself, and besides, my good aunt doesn't know what role to play in it.

Among the three springs, only Tanchun saw something tricky there, but he never dared to speak up, and Tanchun knew that he could not intervene in anything related to the Wang family, and Mrs. Wang was a mountain that could not be overcome.

Seeing that the matter had been resolved, Jia Zheng didn't ask. After all, it was a trivial matter. His own hall is also very busy now. It's almost Chinese New Year, and there are places in the palace that need to be repaired.

In Rongxi Hall where Mrs. Wang lived, Lai Da was sweating and reporting what happened outside the mansion today, especially Luo Yunhou had arrested Qian Hua, the purchaser of the mansion, and came here to ask for instructions on how to deal with it. Mrs. Wang did not speak for a long time , It's just that the beads in his hand are spinning faster and faster.

"What is your plan?"

Mrs. Wang had no choice but to ask, after all, Zhuangzi was in the lead, and he nodded in agreement, and he also took the invitation from the mansion.

"Here, Mrs. Hui, I thought it would be better to meet Luo Yunhou directly to resolve the misunderstanding."

"Resolve the misunderstanding? Dreaming!"
