The Red Chamber begins with a bastard

Chapter 306 Everyone has their own thoughts

Kang Dayong wanted to lecture Kang Dayi a few more words, but when he saw Li Hongji coming this way, he winked secretly. Kang Dayi was smarter this time and hurriedly put the account book wrapped in oil paper back into his arms.

Li Hongji was soaked all over. He had obviously just come back from outside the cave. He took off his clothes and wring them dry before sitting down by the fire to warm himself. Although it is a hot day now, the temperature in the mountains is still relatively low. Especially during thunderstorms like this, the temperature will drop sharply. If you are exposed to the rain for a long time, you will easily get hypothermia, which is no joke.

"Second in command, what's the situation outside?" Kang Dayong asked Li Hongji while staring at him.

Li Hongji glanced at Kang Dayi's arms casually and replied: "There is nothing unusual. There is no sign of the officers and soldiers entering the mountain."

Kang Dayong said bitterly: "That kid Jia Huan is a very thief. He might sneak into the mountains during the heavy rain to launch a surprise attack. We suffered this kind of loss during the last battle at Chongmingsha, so we can't be careless. Someone must be on guard outside at all times."

As the saying goes, if you suffer a loss, you will gain a chasm, and if you suffer a chasm, you will gain wisdom. Kang Dayong, a brave and aggressive man, suffered defeat from Jia Huan one after another, and finally learned to be cautious.

"Don't worry, Master, the Ninth Master and the Tenth Master are watching from outside." Li Hongji said firmly.

Kang Dayong felt relieved after hearing this. The Zhu brothers were superb in archery and had amazing eyesight. With them watching from a high place, even if the officers and soldiers came in, they would be killed.

Kang Dayi had already finished eating the long roasted worm. He licked his lips and said, "Second brother, I didn't expect that the nine and ten old men were so loyal. I was so surprised that I wanted to get it."

Indeed, Kang Dayong did not expect that the Zhu brothers would be so interesting that they risked their lives to come ashore to save him. You must know that these two people had only joined him not long ago, but they were more loyal than the brothers who had been with him for several years. When I return to the island, I must reuse them.

The torrential rain is still drifting, thick dark clouds cover the earth, lightning is like a dragon swimming in the clouds, and thunder comes and goes, which is very scary.

Opposite the cave where the pirates are hiding is a cliff. There is a protruding rock on the cliff, and a huge stone crevice is recessed under the rock. It can accommodate several people to hide. It can protect against wind and rain and has excellent visibility. It is on duty. The beauty of sentry.

At this moment, brothers Zhu Jinfu and Zhu Jinyue were sitting cross-legged under the stone crevice on the cliff, with their swords and bows beside them. The rain outside was so heavy that the accumulated water flowed along the edge of the rocks above them, forming a white waterfall. It was impossible to see what was going on outside.

Zhu Jinyue frowned and said: "The rain is so heavy, the officers and soldiers shouldn't come into the mountain, right?"

Zhu Jinaxe wiped his saber and said: "It's hard to say, that Jia Huan always likes to take the wrong side of the sword and take things by surprise. This is how Chongmingsha allows him to succeed in sneak attacks, so we can't be careless. This guy might really be able to brave the rain." Go into the mountains.”

Speaking of Jia Huan, Zhu Jinyue seemed to be interested. He raised his thick eyebrows and said: "I heard from Li Ji that Jia Huan is still a child prodigy. When he took part in the boy examination when he was less than ten years old, he actually won three yuan in a row."

Zhu Jinxu said calmly: "The Jia family is the founding hero of the Jin Dynasty. It is a big family, with two princes from one family. Most of the princes from this kind of family start to read and write at the age of three or four. They spend a lot of money to hire famous teachers to teach them, and all the supplies are the most generous." Yes, the treatment is a hundred times higher than that of ordinary people, and it is not uncommon to win three yuan at a young age.”

Zhu Jinyue shook his head and said: "Having said that, if you don't have some talent in reading, you will definitely not be able to achieve this. Moreover, rich people are more likely to produce playboys and losers."

Zhu Jin agreed: "That's true. The key to this Jia Huanyun, Wen Yunwu, is that he was born as a concubine, which is really rare. In time, this son may become the pillar of the Jin Dynasty and a difficult opponent for us."

Zhu Jinyue's eyes flashed coldly, and he said coldly: "Then it depends on whether he has a chance to grow up." After saying that, he quickly picked up his bow and arrow, and aimed an arrow at the waterfall outside. The arrow went like lightning, penetrating the rain curtain, and there seemed to be a mournful cry amidst the torrential rain. It turned out to be a passing bird. It planned to fly into the crevice of the stone to hide from the rain. However, as soon as it got closer, it found someone under the crevice. So it turned a corner and tried to fly away. However, it was shot down by Zhu Jinyue with a quick arrow.

"Fourteenth brother is good at archery!" Zhu Jinxu couldn't help but cheer. He thought that his archery skills were already excellent, but they were still far behind Zhu Jinyue.

Zhu Jinyue put down his bow as if nothing had happened and said: "The officers and soldiers have sealed off this mountain a few days ago. Thousands of people came this afternoon. I am afraid that the number of officers and soldiers will increase in number, and it will be even more difficult to escape by then." Now, is Bago still planning to save Kang Dayong?"

Zhu Jinfu muttered: "It depends on the situation. If it really doesn't work, we have to protect ourselves first. With our brothers' ability, we can still escape from here."

Zhu Jinyue said confidently: "Before I leave, I will kill Jia Huan and Tie Hu to avoid future troubles!"

Zhu Jin nodded and said: "That's good. Jia Huan is a talented man with both civil and military skills. He has unlimited potential. If he is not eliminated, he may become a strong enemy of Dajin in the future. And that Iron Tiger is also a fierce general on the battlefield. Kill him." That’s fine!”

Yizhen County is just a few dozen kilometers southwest of Yangzhou City, and it is also raining heavily at the moment.

In the back house of Xunyan Censor Yamen, Lin Daiyu was leaning against the window sill, crying silently as she looked at the heavy rain outside the window. Her eyes were swollen from crying, and her face was haggard, like a peony in the rain.

The maid Xue Yan was sitting on a small table doing needlework. She occasionally looked up and then lowered her head helplessly.

At this time, the door curtain was lifted, and two beauties, one large and one small, walked in with moisture. The big beauty had fair skin, an oval face, and a sweet appearance. She was the pretty maid Ping'er, while the little beauty had bright eyes, white teeth, and picturesque features. , the watery eyes are like crescent moons, it is Xiao Xingyuan.

Xue Yan hurriedly put down the needle and thread in her hand and said with a smile: "It's raining so hard, it's a shame you guys came here."

"Hello, Sister Xueyan!" Xiao Yuanyuan called out sweetly.

Xueyan snorted, brushed the water droplets from Xiao Yuanyuan's hair, pinched her cheek again, and said with a smile: "The little mouth is so sweet, Sister Ping'er, you think Yuanyuan's little hooves look so good Even though he is so handsome, his voice is still so beautiful. I don’t know what kind of virtue he accumulated in his previous life, but he has such an immortal look and such a good voice. "

Ping'er smiled and said, "It's not too late for you to accumulate more virtue in your life!"

"Forget it, I don't want to be a human being in my next life."

Xiao Yuanyuan asked curiously: "Then what does Sister Xueyan want to be in the next generation?"

"Being a bird, you can go wherever you want, be free and worry-free, how wonderful it is!" Xue Yan's face showed a look of yearning.

Ping'er pinched Xueyan lightly and said in a low voice: "You are so wild-minded, little hooves, right? You still want to go anywhere, Miss Lin is like that, you don't know how to persuade her."
