Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

Jia Cong said: "If you can be safe in the future, it's not too late for me to be happy. Since there is no way to repay the kindness of saving my life, I have no choice but to pledge my life to you."

"Bah, you have a beautiful idea. There are a lot of warblers and swallows in your house, and I won't join in the fun." Bai Qiuwei spat.

Jia Cong smiled and said: "Qiu Wei, who do you want to marry? I'm really afraid that I can't help but ask someone to kill him first."

Bai Qiuwei looked at the sparkling river outside the window and sighed: "I just won't get married in this life."

Jia Cong breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly: "It's better not to marry. Who in the world is worthy of you? Except me."

Bai Qiuwei pursed her lips and smiled and said, "Don't be ashamed. The florist says the flowers are fragrant, and the vegetable seller talks about the tenderness of the vegetables, so they will buy and sell them themselves."

Jia Cong said: "Actually, I never thought about asking for so many wives. It's just that the situation prohibits me and I can't do anything about it."

"Bah, with your clever words and seductive words, who forced you to ask for a wife? It's not because you are a lecherous womanizer." Bai Qiuwei spat.

"I admit that I am lustful, but I am not a womanizer. I accept them all, because I really love them, but more importantly, if not, I am afraid that their fate will be miserable, and their beauty will be miserable.

After much deliberation, it would be more cost-effective to be my wife. Even if I tell you, you may not believe it. "Jia Cong spread his hands and said.

Bai Qiuwei sneered and said, "It's good that you know, treat me as a three-year-old child. I don't even make up the lies. Which of you wealthy young masters doesn't have this kind of virtue?"

Jia Cong was speechless. Since he enjoyed the privileges of a rich man, he deserved to be scolded.

Bai Qiuwei was angry and pushed him away to go out.

Jia Cong hurriedly pulled her and said, "Where are you going?"

"Go next door, so as not to disturb the Duke's rest."

"No, just stay here with me."

"You, why are you so domineering? How can you behave like a man and a woman alone?" Bai Qiuwei stamped her feet and said angrily.

Jia Cong smiled and said: "How come Qiu Wei still sees the difference between men and women? Aren't we all brothers and sisters in the church?"

Bai Qiuwei spat: "Shameless. I have never burned incense or paid homage to anyone. Who would recognize you as my brother?"

Jia Cong smiled and said: "I have come down to the lower world to save you. Why are you burning incense? Now I order you to stay and talk to me."

Bai Qiuwei laughed at his shamelessness and said, "You bastard, you will use the name of the Holy King to do this? Are you embarrassed?"

"Isn't this a test to see if it works? If it doesn't work, who will be the Holy King?" Jia Cong chuckled and hurriedly pulled her back, holding her in his arms and sitting on the recliner.

Bai Qiuwei was held in his arms, feeling weak all over, and scolded: "Just talk, no matter what you do, be careful so that others can see."

"Isn't this the Holy King and Holy Mother?" Jia Cong said with a smile: "Qiu Wei is so timid, how can she lead the world's believers."

"Bah, who is so disrespectful like you? If your wife knows about it, she will take advantage of you." Bai Qiuwei couldn't resist him, so she had to punch him on the chest out of shame and anger.

Jia Cong said hurriedly: "By the way, a girl in my family is sick. She's a bit serious. Are there any famous doctors in your religion? Not to mention the methods of drinking talisman water, burning incense and chanting sutras."

Bai Qiuwei asked: "Why are you sick?"

Jia Cong was a little embarrassed, so he had to tell the truth.

Bai Qiuwei glared at him and said, "It's all your fault! A good girl has been tortured like this by you. Is this your true love?"

Jia Cong said coquettishly: "I just plead guilty and accept punishment. Is there any way?"

Bai Qiuwei thought for a while and said: "There are a few helmsmen and incense masters in the capital who are good at medicine, but their skills are not as high as those of the imperial doctors in the palace.

What's more, you have also invited many famous experts in the capital for diagnosis and treatment. All diseases can be cured. Don't worry, good people have their own destiny. "

Jia Cong thought of Qingwen's haggard face and no longer in the mood to be a philanderer. He sighed, lay down on the chair, and stared blankly at the cabin roof.

Bai Qiuwei saw that his face was filled with regret and comfort, "Just pay more attention next time. Qingwen is usually fine. Although she is a little heavier this time, she will recover after a few more days of rest. You don't have to worry too much."

"I hope so." Jia Cong sighed, feeling like a big stone was hanging in his heart, weighing him down and making him breathless. He wished he could fly to Liaodong, kill the king of Liao, and then fly home immediately.
-
The boat sailed very fast, sailing all the way along the canal to Tanggukou, changing to a seagoing ship that had been prepared, sailing out to sea with the northwest wind, and going straight to Jinzhouwei, Liaodong.

A few days later, we arrived at Jinzhouwei Pier.

This was originally the territory of Feng Yuan's brother Feng Yi, and Jia Cong had already informed him.

As soon as they got off the boat, they saw a fleshy man wearing big fur clothes running over, enthusiastically holding Wen Youfang's hand and saying, "My dear brother, you are fine, I miss you so much."

But his eyes were glancing at the people dressed as servants and followers, searching for the real master.

Wen Youfang smiled and said, "I miss my eldest brother too, are you ready?"

Feng Yi said hurriedly: "Okay, okay." After saying this, he ordered the master to present the road guide to the pass, and also asked someone to bring dozens of carts of dried seafood and fish.

"Brother Xian is the son of Wei Yuanwai, a wealthy businessman from Weihai, Jinzhou. This is the first time I go to Liaodong Town to do business alone, so be careful."

Wen Youfang smiled and said: "Brother taught me a lesson, and I will remember it in my heart. Please come back without further ado."

Feng Yi couldn't find anyone for a while, so he had to say goodbye, twisted his butt and got into a big car.

Wen Youfang glanced at Jia Cong, saw that he was signaling to start, and hurriedly directed everyone to drive the carriage on the road.

This place is more than 500 miles away from Liaoyang City, the seat of Liaodong Town. Although there are winds and snow blocking the road, everyone is a strong man, there are enough carriages and horses, and the roads are well prepared. It only takes ten days to go faster. arrive.

On October 23, Jia Cong and his party arrived in Liaoyang smoothly.

Returning to his old place felt like a lifetime ago. Looking at the majestic city in front of him, Jia Cong felt a little emotional.

Who would have thought that the young man who passed by this place a few years ago would now go into the city to overthrow the King of Liao who was guarding the city. It was really unpredictable.

Everyone paid the city entry tax, had their identity checked, and was able to enter the city. Even though winter was coming, the city was still lively. Businessmen from all over the place were rushing to do one more business before the heavy snow closed the roads at the end of the year and went home to celebrate the New Year.

Many children were laughing, running and dodging, and having snowball fights on the road.

Liaoyang City is protected by Beizhen in the west and Fengtian in the north. It has not seen war for many years, and it is most comfortable and prosperous.

Wen Youfang ordered someone to deliver the goods, and under the leadership of the local Jinyiwei spies, he went to the Rugui Inn, which had been arranged. More than 30 people have booked more than ten rooms on the second floor of the inn, which is very convenient.

"You two live next door to me, so I can help you with anything." Wen Youfang cleverly arranged for Jia Cong and Bai Qiuwei, who was disguised as a servant, to be in the same room.

Bai Qiuwei blushed and was about to object, but was stopped by Jia Cong.

"Yes. Master, please rest a while. Call me if you need anything." Jia Cong said, giving Bai Qiuwei a look that said "the overall situation is important" and pushed her into the room.

"Well, come in, I have some instructions."

"Yes."

Jia Cong followed him through the door. As soon as he closed the door, Wen Youfang knelt down with a plop and said in a low voice: "My lord, please forgive me for the sin of being humble and arrogant."

"What's it worth? If you need it for errands, get up and talk. Don't do that in the future." Jia Cong waved his hands and sat down. "Yes." Wen Youfang hurriedly stood aside.

Not long after, a spy from Liaodong led in a middle-aged businessman with a heavy back and eagle-like eyes.

"Xiang Xingfa from Qianhu Office in Liaodong Town, a low-ranking official, meets with the admiral." The businessman came in and bowed down.

"Get up."

"Thank you, sir." Xiang Xingfa stood up, stood at the side in a polite manner, and said, "Please give me your instructions."

Jia Cong glanced at him and said: "Xiang Qianhu, I have seen your resume. You have been dressed in fine clothes for generations. You are shrewd and capable, efficient in doing things, and good at leading troops. You are a rare talent."

Xiang Xingfa was overjoyed, but his face remained calm, and he cupped his hands and said, "It's all thanks to your majesty, your ability to run the army, and your ability to revitalize the army. It has become easier for low-level people to do things below. All of this depends on your majesty and kindness. There’s no half-worth of credit.”

Jia Cong smiled and nodded, and said: "Although I have pointed out the way, your contribution cannot be erased." He gently clasped the table and said, "Is there anything unusual in the Liao Prince's Palace?"

Xiang Xingfa said: "Your Excellency, the news of Shi Zihuan's accident has been sent back to the Liao Prince's Palace. The strange thing is that the Liao Prince did not make any changes. He only said that everything will be decided by the emperor."

"Have you received the emperor's order to summon him back to the capital?"

"Just received it. The King of Liao has not responded yet."

Jia Cong secretly nodded. This was because the Military Aircraft Department cooperated with his schedule and deliberately sent the decree to the King of Liao slowly, without giving him too much preparation time. Otherwise, if it was expedited for 800 miles, it would have been delivered in two or three days.

"The prince is dead and he didn't react at all?" Jia Cong asked curiously.

Xiang Xingfa said: "The King of Liao is cruel and cruel by nature. He still has thirteen or four sons in the palace. It doesn't hurt to think about the death of one or two. All he needs to do is establish a new heir apparent."

Jia Cong nodded and said, "That makes sense."

He was born into a wealthy family, and he knew very well that the virtues of aristocrats meant that anything in excess was worthless, including children, and all relationships and relationships were not as important as the power and authority of a noble family.

For example, if someone like Jia She was allowed to choose, he could get a noble title by sacrificing his son, and he would probably happily organize the funeral for Jia Lian.

Even if he never gives birth to another son, and he adopts one from his clan, it will still be the same. The important thing is that he will be rich and famous.

Thinking of Jia She, Jia Cong's mouth showed a slight sneer. If he hadn't thought of saving him for the critical moment, he would have been killed long ago.

Xiang Xingfa was very sensible. When he saw him thinking deeply, he didn't speak casually and just stood aside.

"When will General Yang arrive?"

"Sir, I'll be here tonight."

"Well, let's all go and do our own business. I'll go and rest first. We'll talk about it when General Yang arrives."

"Yes."

Jia Cong returned to the room and saw Bai Qiuwei packing her luggage and about to go out.

"Hey, are you going out?" Jia Cong asked.

Bai Qiuwei let him enter the room, closed the door, and whispered: "I can't come with you to eat for free. I'll go to the local hall and ask."

Jia Cong smiled and said, "What's the rush? Aren't you tired after walking for so many days? I'll take a nap with you first." He went to hug her.

Bai Qiuwei hurriedly took two steps away and spat: "Why are you so crazy in broad daylight? What did your men see like?"

Jia Cong said with a bad smile: "Let's just say we are pasting sesame seed cakes. You are such a handsome boy, it really makes my heart flutter when I see you."

Hearing this, Bai Qiuwei's face burned with shame, she stamped her feet and cursed: "Dirty seeds, extremely shameless." After saying that, she opened the door and ran away.

Jia Cong laughed, it would be much more interesting to have such a beautiful woman accompanying him on this trip.

When he woke up, it was already dark, and suddenly he heard someone pushing the door in. Jia Cong instantly stood up, looked at the door, and when he saw the person, he smiled and said, "Why have you been out for so long? I thought you were lost."

Bai Qiuwei said angrily: "I have followed my master since I was a child. I will not lose you even if you get lost."

Jia Cong smiled and said: "I know you are capable. But what information can I find out?"

Bai Qiuwei said: "There is no valuable information. I have already ordered people to investigate more."

Jia Cong said: "The King of Liao is very scheming and will not reveal his flaws easily. It is normal for him to not be able to detect anything for a while."

Bai Qiuwei nodded, twisted out a wet handkerchief and handed it to him, saying, "You just woke up, just use it."

Jia Cong took it, wiped his face, and said with a smile: "You are so sensible, you look more and more like my wife."

Bai Qiuwei was greatly embarrassed and spat: "A dog can't spit out ivory from its mouth, so don't expect me to be nice to you again."

Just as Jia Cong was about to make a joke, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door and saying, "The buyer is here, and I asked you to wait on him."

"Here we come." Jia Cong cheered up and hurriedly got up and went to the next door.

"For the humble rank, please see Duke Dingguo." Four or five people saw him coming in and all greeted him.

"General Yang, no courtesy." Jia Cong helped Yang Xiong up, raised his eyes, and said with surprise and joy: "Why are you... why are you here?"

Everyone laughed and said, "Don't Duke Dingguo welcome us?" It turned out to be Wang Jin, Deng Lei, Zhang Yi, Wei Wuji and others.

Yang Xiong said: "This matter is not a trivial matter, and we cannot arbitrarily deploy troops to alert the enemy. They are skilled in martial arts, and they are in harmony with the Duke of the country. I have secretly deployed them to suit their needs."

Jia Cong nodded and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, fighting a tiger is like brothers. If we brothers fight side by side, we will certainly be successful."

"Thanks to Duke Ding." Everyone cupped their hands and laughed.

"Stop talking nonsense, it's more pleasant to call you by the old name." Jia Cong laughed and scolded, and then invited everyone to sit down and discuss.

Yang Xiong said: "My lord, what is the plan?"

"I almost forgot." Jia Cong waved to Wen Youfang to present the imperial edict, and said: "I brought two edicts with me this time. No matter what the King of Liao chooses, I can prescribe the right medicine."

Yang Xiong looked at the imperial edict, nodded and said: "Now that the imperial decree has been decided, we will not hesitate even to the death. However, Liaoyang City is the home of the King of Liao and has a deep foundation. The general military office does not have much power at its disposal."

Jia Cong said: "It doesn't matter. As the saying goes, to capture the thief first, capture the king. Ninety-nine percent of the time, the King of Liao will not obey the imperial edict. When the time comes, Shibo will only have to come to see you in the name of discussing military affairs. We will pretend to be soldiers. As long as he shows up... …hey-hey……

Then Shibo followed me to surrender the guard camp of the Liao Prince's Mansion. I think there are not many people who can risk their lives to serve the dead. "As he said that, he took out the Jin Gong Ling Arrow in his arms.

Yang Xiong nodded slowly. Although this plan was simple, it was promising.

Everyone nodded in agreement. No matter how many troops the King of Liao had, they would never have imagined that Yang Xiong came single-handedly to carry out a "beheading operation". In an environment where people feel that they are the safest, their defenses must be the most relaxed. .

With the martial arts of Jia Cong, Wang Jin and others, if they could get close, the King of Liao would not be able to spare even ten lives. (End of chapter)
