Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

Chapter 573 Jia Cong is here
Seeing that they couldn't do anything, Baochai and Daiyu looked at each other and saw the sadness and despair in each other's eyes. They nodded slowly, stretched out their hands to hold each other, and said softly: "Ruyi, please send me two away first."

Ruyi's heart trembled, and the hand holding the sword hilt was covered in sweat. She forced herself to calm down and said, "It's not the time yet."

Seeing the thieves rushing towards them, just when the girls were in despair, they suddenly heard a faint cry of killing and screams from outside, like a long snake, swimming quickly from the inner ceremony door into the main hall.

Naturally, all the thieves heard it, but when the beauty in front of them was compared with the danger behind them, they were slightly stunned and still chose the beauty.

Anyway, there will be brothers to resist later, so let’s get the immediate benefits first.

Just when a dozen bloody palms were about to touch the delicate bodies of the girls, a loud scream suddenly came from the roof next to them.

"Stop! The thief shall die!"

Dozens of figures jumped down from all directions and charged into the bandit army.

Two of them were slim and slender, with shapes like snakes and dragons, walking like the wind. The sword light in their hands was like a stream of autumn water, flowing everywhere, and everywhere they passed, blood splattered and screams continued.

The rest of them were all masters of martial arts in the martial arts world. This sudden attack, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, killed the bandit army to pieces in an instant.

The rebels were attacked by this group of tigers and wolves, and they couldn't care less about the beauty. They all fled back to the lobby and looked for the main force first.

Yang Siniang and Bai Qiuwei fought off the thieves and shouted: "You go to the front to support Liu Qianhu. The reinforcements from the Jinyi Guards will be here as soon as we speak."

"Yes!" Forty or fifty experts took the order and left.

After saying that, Yang Siniang led more than 20 skilled men and walked up to Princess Ruyi and said: "General Yang Siniang, the rescue came late and the princess was frightened. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

All the girls survived the catastrophe, and they all hugged each other and cried.

Princess Ruyi looked at the "last general" in front of her and asked, "Where are you a general?" When did the divine capital have female generals?

Yang Siniang's face was slightly red, but fortunately no one noticed her in the dark night. When she suddenly saw Princess Dafang, she didn't know what to say.

Pang Chao said hurriedly: "Your Highness, this is Yang Siniang, the defense officer of Heibeng Village in Hebei Province. When Lord Hou went to Shandong to quell the chaos, he was greatly appreciated for his help and in recognition of his merits, so he was granted the title of defense officer by the imperial court."

Ruyi was not easy to fool, so he pondered for a moment and said: "A defense officer from Hebei? Why are you here to save me?"

Seeing Yang Siniang being confused and not knowing what to say, Pang Chao hurriedly hugged her and said with a smile: "This is Chao's arrangement.

Yang Fengfeng had many brave men under his command, and he deeply felt the favor of the Marquis for his promotion, so he was transferred to the capital to prepare for emergencies. As expected, he had a place to use them. "

Ruyi nodded and said, "Thank you Yang for your defensive help."

"Don't dare, your highness said something serious." Yang Siniang whispered.

"This is..." Ruyi looked at Bai Qiuwei, who was covered in silk scarf next to her.

Pang Chao secretly thought something was wrong and hurriedly introduced: "This is..."

"Sir, let Yang defend himself." Ruyi waved his hand.

The girls laughed. It was too obvious that Mr. Pang was covering for that bastard. Baba transferred a female general from Hebei to Beijing. Is there no one left in the army? You're lying to a three-year-old.

Pang Chao smiled bitterly and shook his head, Brother Cong, I tried my best.

Yang Siniang had no choice but to say: "This Miss Bai is a friend of the late general. When she heard that the traitor boldly attacked Huanhou Mansion, she was filled with righteous indignation and came to help."

Bai Qiuwei's hand shook, and the soft sword seemed to have spirituality. It sank into her waist in an instant. She raised her hand in a graceful manner and said, "The common girl has met Her Highness the Princess, and all the ladies and ladies."

Ruyi raised her hand and said: "No need to be too polite. Thank you both for drawing your sword and helping me. It's inconvenient to speak here, so let's go to the house and talk."

"Follow His Highness's orders."

At that moment, everyone came to the inner room and sat down. The maids and others lit all the lamps and candles in the room, making it as bright as day. The warm light of the fire dispelled the panic that everyone had just felt.

Yang Siniang and Bai Qiuwei arranged the security personnel and followed everyone through the door.

"Both of you, please take a seat," Ruyi said with a smile, "With Si Niang's skills, Marquis Huan wants you to be a defender. It's really unworthy of you. I can guard the defensive side, which is more than enough. In a few days, I will recommend it to my father. How about it?"

Yang Siniang hurriedly waved her hand and said: "No, no, no... I mean that the princess doesn't need to worry about it. I come from a humble background, and being able to serve as a defender is already an honor for my ancestors. What's more, I am in the midst of filial piety, so I don't dare to ask for more."

Pang Chao smiled bitterly and shook his head. Couldn't this girl see that he was testing her relationship with Jia Cong?
Baochai and Daiyu looked at each other and smiled. As expected, it was the bastard who caused the romantic debt again.

Ruyi was angry in her heart and used obscene things, even to the dutiful daughter, because she smiled and said: "In this case, I don't know how to repay Yang Fengfeng for saving his life."

Yang Siniang hurriedly cupped her hands and said, "I came too late to save you. It is a gift from Heaven that Your Highness will not blame you. Moreover, this is your own responsibility. You must not dare to accept the reward."

Ruyi nodded, looked at Bai Qiuwei and said, "Can this heroine show her true face, so that I and my wife can recognize my savior?"

When Bai Qiuwei saw that there were all women in the hall, Pang Chao was Jia Cong's confidant, and Jia Baoyu looked more like a woman than a man, she thought for a moment and slowly took off her hijab.

He cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness is serious. Drawing a sword to help when there is injustice is the duty of martial arts practitioners like us. It's not worth anything."

Wow! Sisters Xiangyun, Qingwen, Wanyan and other girls couldn't help but exclaim. Looking at the beautiful face in front of them, they didn't know what words to use to describe it. They just felt that the hall was a little brighter.

Jia Baoyu had a dull look on his face, looking at Bai Qiuwei and saying stupidly: "Sister, have we met before?"

The girls sneered and laughed.

Bao and Dai became more and more certain. If the two women in front of them had nothing to do with Jia Cong, who would believe it?

Bai Qiuwei glanced at him lightly and said, "I've never seen him before."

Ruyi smiled and said: "Is the White Lady also a friend of Jia Cong?"

Even though Bai Qiuwei had always been calm and generous, she was a little embarrassed when Ruyi asked her this question. Her jade face turned slightly red and she said, "A common girl and the Marquis had met several times when they were in Shandong, but she is not worthy of being friends with the Marquis."

"The White Lady has a first-class character, and I am also heartbroken. Jia Cong is not worthy of being friends with you." Ruyi said.

After Jia's mother calmed down for a while, she saw Ruyi "interrogating" the two daughters. She wanted to say something for Jia Cong and thanked the two daughters for their help.

Yin changed the topic and said: "How many people did Yang Feng bring to the rescue this time? Is it important or not?"

Yang Siniang hurriedly leaned over and said: "Don't worry, old lady, we have sent someone to notify the Jin Yiwei before we came. Now that the rebel army has been thwarted, and with the hundreds of experts we have brought, we will be able to protect your palace."

"Then I'm relieved. If you two hadn't arrived in time, the consequences would have been disastrous." Mother Jia breathed a sigh of relief and nodded secretly.

It means to tell Ruyi not to go too far, someone else saved your life.

Yang and Bai hurriedly thanked him.

Ruyi said: "What Mrs. Yang said is that Yang Feng and Miss Bai will be very grateful for the life-saving kindness they have given to Brother Cong when he comes back."

All the girls pursed their lips and smiled, waiting to see how he would explain when he came back.

Ruyi was just not angry that Jia Cong was cheating on her without telling her, but he liked the two girls' personalities and martial arts skills quite a lot.

He immediately smiled and said: "I see that the swordsmanship you just used is very exquisite. I also love swords. I hope to learn more from you two in the future." He patted the sword on his waist. Yang Siniang said hurriedly: "I don't dare, I don't know much about martial arts. It would be a great blessing if His Highness could give me some advice."

Bai Qiuwei also said: "With this three-legged cat skill, a common girl would never dare to show her embarrassment in front of the princess."

Ruyi waved her hands and said with a smile: "You two are so humble. I think your martial arts skills are no less impressive than those of Jia Cong, who calls himself 'Dugu Qiufe'."

"That's right." Seeing that the topic returned to Jia Cong, the girls laughed in unison.

Yang and Bai were slightly embarrassed and laughed dryly: "Princess is too praised."
-
At this time, "Dugu Qiubei" was joining forces with Niu Jizong, Liu Fang and others, killed Luancheng Hou Buchen, and led his army into Qianqing Gate.

I don't know if it was because of the intuition of a strong general, but Jia Cong suddenly shivered, and there was an inexplicable chill in his heart.

Is it possible to catch a cold on this hot day? There are still people saying bad things about me behind my back, so don’t worry!

Looking at the Qianqing Palace standing dozens of feet away, Jia Cong raised his gun and shouted: "Kill the rebels! Charge me!"

"Kill the rebels!"

"kill!"

All the soldiers worked together to kill the enemy, regardless of their own safety, and went to the palace to kill him.

At the last moment of this battle, the rebels fought tooth and nail to delay the offensive of Jia Cong and others.

"Get out of the way!" Jia Cong was furious when he saw that the rebels had entered the Qianqing Palace. He shouted angrily, and the Mo Dao soldiers separated with a roar, revealing a bloody and muddy road.

"Yuanba, Lei Tai, Kongxing, charge with me!" Jia Cong roared, leading the three fierce generals like sharp knives, piercing deeply into the enemy's formation, invincible to those who stand in his way.

"Fire arrows, fire arrows! Protect the admiral!" Jie Hui was busy directing the rear formation of cavalry to provide long-range fire support.

Jia Cong and the four men were like fierce tigers emerging from the coffin, with guns and staffs coming out, hammers and knives coming and going, looking at the army as if they were nothing, advancing rapidly like red-hot steel knives cutting into grease.

The situation in the Palace of Qianqing was extremely critical. Feng Tang, who was leading the charge, was shot away by Tu Lie and was seriously injured. He was rescued by his own soldiers and lay dying in front of the imperial steps.

The mighty general Ren Biao commanded the remaining three to four hundred people and firmly protected the emperor and empress, the princes, and military ministers.

"Kill me!" Tu Lie sneered and led his own soldiers to attack frantically. As long as he could kill Emperor Xifeng, it would be much easier to deal with Jia Cong and others later.

Seeing that the defensive circle was getting thinner and thinner, everyone's hearts gradually sank. Even if Jia Cong won the battle, if there were no people in the palace, winning would be equal to losing.

Tu Fei walked into the palace surrounded by his own soldiers and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, Madam, I am late to save you. Please forgive me."

"Shameless!"

"Traitor! You must die a good death!"

"Thief! How dare you plot rebellion!"

Everyone shouted and cursed in unison.

Emperor Xifeng's expression was as calm as ever, and he said calmly: "Why did Tu Aiqing do such a treasonous and unethical thing? Is there anything I have done wrong to you?"

Tu Fei cupped his hands and said, "I heard that Jia Cong, Dai Quan and other thieves were causing trouble, so I came to King Qin and King Qing to see you. What do you mean by your majesty?"

"Presumptuous! How can the emperor allow you to confuse right and wrong!" Dai Quan scolded in a sharp voice.

"Tu Aiqing, what benefit did he give you? He made you risk the disapproval of the world." Emperor Xifeng said lightly. This "he" was naturally the Supreme Emperor.

Tu Fei did not answer, but said loudly: "Everyone, the Supreme Emperor has a decree. Jia Cong and Dai Quan are planning to rebel and kill the emperor. You have been deceived by traitors. If you can change your course and abandon the dark side, you will be forgiven and you will be rewarded generously. You guys, don't miss this opportunity. Don’t engage in unnecessary fights.”

Ren Biao shouted angrily: "Traitor! How can we, who have been favored by the emperor in this life, be complicit in rebellion? If you want to commit regicide, get over me first! Soldiers, follow me and protect you to the death!"

"I will protect you to the death!" all the soldiers shouted in unison.

"You idiot, I'm going to kill him!" Sun Chi was so angry that he didn't care about being seriously injured. He pulled out the sword with his left hand and was about to fight to the death, but was hurriedly hugged by the princes.

"Brother Chi, don't show off your courage."

A sharp light flashed in Tu Fei's eyes. He looked back and saw that Jia Cong and others were already coming to kill him. He did not dare to delay any longer and shouted: "Come here, let me shoot an arrow to kill the traitor!" He said and walked up the imperial steps. refer to.

"Yes!" All the soldiers agreed, unfurling their bows and setting arrows.

Peng! Hundreds of arrows covered the surrounding area like a heavy rain.

"Escort!" Ren Biao roared when he saw this!
"Escort!"

A dozen sergeants stepped forward resolutely, standing on a human wall, facing the rain of arrows and covering everyone.

"Traitor, traitor! You will not die well! I will kill all nine of your tribes!"

When Sun Can, Sun Chi and others saw that all the soldiers in front of them were hit by several arrows and fell slowly, they couldn't help but curse.

Emperor Xifeng also trembled in his heart and clenched his fist tightly. As an emperor, he would rather be killed than kneel down and beg for mercy.

"Protect you! Protect you!" All the sergeants shouted in unison, and a dozen more people rushed up to the imperial steps without hesitation.

Tu Fei sneered, let's see how many people you have to block the arrows.

Sun Chi was the one who led the troops in the war. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but burst into tears. Seeing that another group of loyal soldiers were about to fall under the rain of arrows, he hurriedly shouted: "Quickly, lift up the corpses to block the arrows! Don't do it!" Sacrifice in vain.”

After a slight hesitation, everyone hurriedly picked up Pao Ze's body and stood it in front of them.

Pong!
Another hail of arrows came, this time only a few people fell down.

"You guys, kill them!" Tu Lie shouted wildly as he swung his big gun and stabbed two people to death.

Then there was a continuous rain of arrows, shooting at the imperial steps.

The sergeants resisted the rebel attack while trying to protect them. They suffered heavy casualties. They gradually became unable to resist and were about to penetrate the defense line before their eyes.

"Your Majesty, my rescuer is here." Tu Lie smiled ferociously and picked someone off, and was about to step onto the imperial steps to take over the emperor and empress.

Emperor Xifeng hid behind the soldiers. Although he could not see the scene in the palace, he knew that he was retreating steadily just by hearing the sound of fighting. The rebels had reached the imperial steps, only a few feet away. His heart had sunk to the bottom, and his body was full of blood. Ice cold.

Just when everyone was at their wits' end and looking forward to seeing what was going on, they suddenly heard a clear roar coming from outside the hall!
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Jia Cong is here!"

"The traitor shall die!"

Just a few bangs were heard, and several rebels were sent flying in. Immediately, screams broke out in the rebel formation.

"Your Majesty, Marquis Huan is here! Your Majesty, Marquis Huan is here!" Dai Quan screamed, overjoyed.

Everyone was overjoyed and looked out from the gaps in the wall of soldiers.
