Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

The guards outside the courtyard heard the sound and rushed in. Seeing the flames in the main hall, they hurriedly asked: "Where is the prince?!"

The leading lady shouted in a hoarse voice: "The prince is inside, go and save him!"

ah? ! All the guards rushed in without thinking as if they heard a thunder explosion, while others looked around for buckets and basins to put out the fire.

No one took care of the group of women and girls who just ran out.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

The guards desperately pulled King Liao out of the fire, and suddenly found a decapitated corpse.

"Come here, there is an assassin! The prince has been assassinated!"

"Go call someone quickly!"

Bai Qiuwei heard the chaos behind her and no one noticed her, so she ducked into the darkness.

Except for a few key important areas in the palace, there were no personal guards guarding the palace. All defenses were against external intruders. No one could have imagined that the King of Liao would die inexplicably in the safest inner palace.

Bai Qiuwei didn't have any blood stains on her. She strolled in the inner courtyard, carried a small baggage and walked through the corridor to the princess's bedroom.

Just as I turned the corner, I felt something in my heart and suddenly stopped.

Two light and thin figures fell down from the roof of the corridor. They were the Nine Deaths and the Furious Master who came to meet them. They had already learned their route of action by lurking in the palace in the past two days.

Jiusi handed Bai Qiuwei's usual soft sword belt to her, looked at the package in her hand, and whispered: "Miss Bai, did you succeed?"

Bai Qiuwei nodded and said, "Send the signal."

"Yes."

Overjoyed to have escaped death, he quickly took out the fireworks in his arms, lit them and shot them into the air.
-
Outside the princess's bedroom, Taoist Priest Baiyun on the altar saw the signal fireworks in the sky. He turned around suddenly. His peach wood sword stuck to a few yellow talismans and ignited them in the air. He pointed downwards and ignited the fuse that had been set on the incense table. .

boom! A firecracker exploded, and a ball of fiery red light shot straight into the sky, exploding into thousands of rays of light, as if countless dots of colorful paint were splashed on the black cloth, which was dazzling.

Jia Cong was overjoyed and shouted: "The heavenly soldiers have returned!"

"Order!"

Wang Jin and others shouted in unison, and they suddenly rose up and rushed out to capture the princes, pounce on the princess, or rush out to control the door.

"What a thief! How dare you attack the palace!" The commander was also a veteran. Although he was frightened, he shouted loudly and ordered his subordinates to retreat from the enemy. At the same time, he protected the princess and returned to the palace.

"Hero, spare your life!" The princes and princesses were sitting under the altar, but they were not so lucky. They were all caught in one fell swoop. They were all frightened by the drastic change and their bodies were like chaff. Their lips were black and their faces were white. They just shouted for mercy.

"I am Jia Cong, Duke of Ding. The King of Liao has conspired to rebel. I have been ordered to arrest those who surrender. Those who surrender will not be killed! Those who resist will die! Here is the gold medal given by the emperor. Why don't you kneel down!" Jia Cong raised the gold medal high. Gong Lingjian shouted.

Under the firelight, the gold medal in Jia Cong's hand shone brightly, and the soldiers around him were slightly stunned. The four characters "I am here in person" were clearly visible.

The princess was shocked and angry, and shouted: "Come here, help me take down these rebellious officials and traitors!"

Jia Cong sneered: "You bitch, you don't know whether to live or die! Kill me!"

"kill!"

Wang Jin and Wei Wuji, armed with long spears and double knives, had already led their men to rush out and attack the princess like a tiger out of a coffin. The surrounding soldiers were caught off guard. Where they could withstand it, seven or eight people were killed in an instant.

When the princess, concubines, concubines, etc. saw the thieves coming, they were so frightened that their faces turned pale, they screamed and ran for their lives.

"Hurry, escort me! Your Majesty, let's go first! Go and report to the prince!" the commander shouted, desperately instructing the sergeants to stop him.

Suddenly, three figures were seen coming from outside the courtyard. One of them raised his hand and threw a package towards the altar.

Well done! Jia Cong laughed, turned over and jumped onto the stage, stretched out his hand to catch it, and shouted: "The King of Liao is dead. If you don't catch him without mercy, how long will it take?"

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the venue, and everyone looked at the human head in Jia Cong's hand.

"What a prince!"

"The prince is dead!"

"Your Majesty!"

"Father!"

There were exclamations, cries, and roars. Only Sun Yong's eyes lit up, it's done!

"Kill them! Revenge for the prince!" The commander roared, and drew his sword to attack Wang Jin himself.

"You sergeants don't want to be loyal to the imperial court, do you really want to become rebels?! Think of your parents, wives and children!" Jia Cong shouted.

All the sergeants looked at each other, and they all had some intention of retreating. If the King of Liao was still alive, they would just follow the prince. Now that the prince is gone, and the young princes have all been taken care of, who are they still working for?
What's more, everyone knows Jia Cong's prestigious reputation. Who can do it better than him who made the country a duke for his military merits before he was even crowned the weakest?
Thinking of this, many people stopped unconsciously and stepped aside.

"You! Are you worthy of the prince?" The commander shouted angrily. Before he could finish his words, Wang Jin shot a bullet into his heart. He groaned, vomited a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground dead.

Zuo Xiaodao and Wei Wuji had already wielded their steel swords to kill the enemies in front of them. They blocked the path of the concubines, one on the left and the other on the right, and carried the princess back.

Jia Cong waved his hand and said: "Take him down."

At this point, all the sergeants no longer dared to resist. They looked at the corpse of the commander and secretly said that they were paid as soldiers and worked for the court. They threw down their weapons and knelt down to ask for surrender.

Jia Cong smiled slightly, this is the difference between personal soldiers and personal guards. The difference between them is not only the combat effectiveness, but also the loyalty.

The relationship between the soldiers and the general is closer, like brothers, both prosper when they are prosperous, and when they suffer, they are both devastated.

The personal guards are nothing more than private armed forces and mercenaries. They are paid to fight without much sense of honor and belonging. It is just a waste of time when the general is there. If the general dies, they will immediately fall apart. There may be die-hard loyalists, but there will definitely be people who want to survive. It's the majority.

After all, this is no longer the era when there were three thousand disciples and the soldiers died for their confidants, and these personal guards did not have such awareness.

"Okay! You have abandoned the secrets and turned to the light. On behalf of the emperor, I forgive you for your innocence! Follow me quickly to quell the remnants of the Liao King. If your merits are corrected, the court will reward you heavily!" Jia Cong shouted.

"I obey your orders." The soldiers were determined and hurriedly picked up their swords and guns and stood up.

"My lord! General Yang has led his men into the mansion!" Liu Xianglian, who was guarding outside, shouted loudly.

Jia Cong laughed: "Well done!"

Before he could finish his words, two strong men armed with copper and iron rods had already charged in first.

"Brother Cong, let's help you!" It was Deng Lei and Zhang Yi.

Before Jia Cong could say anything, Yang Xiong, neatly dressed, led a large group of officers and soldiers in and said, "My lord, is everything going well?"

Jia Cong raised the head in his hand and said with a smile: "Thanks to the old general, I hit it with one blow!"

Yang Xiong took a closer look and laughed: "Okay! The government has it under control. Go to the military camp quickly to determine the overall situation."

Jia Cong nodded, turned over and jumped off the high platform, and whispered to Bai Qiuwei: "Good Wei'er, I owe you another favor. I'll make up for it later."

Bai Qiuwei glanced at him and ignored him.

"Former guards of the royal palace, now it's time for you to serve the imperial court. Come with me!" "Yes."

"Wuji and Xianglian, take two thousand people to guard the palace. If anything happens, kill them all!" Jia Cong glanced at the family members of the King of Liao with a murderous look.

"Order!"

"My lord..." Sun Yong called out hurriedly.

Jia Cong smiled slightly, pointed at him and said: "Except for Mr. Liu, he is a good man and loyal to the court. Don't kill the wrong person."

"Yes." Wei Wuji waved his hand, and the sergeant holding Sun Ying released him.

"Thank you, Duke, for your support." Sun Yong was overjoyed and kowtowed repeatedly.

All the mothers, concubines, aunts, sisters and brothers didn't know that Sun Yong had colluded with others and committed patricide. They all stared at him with hatred and wanted to eat his flesh. Only his mother Zheng Ji was elated and secretly laughed.

"Shibo, I will go with you to the military camp to suppress the soldiers." Jia Cong said.

"Okay, without further ado, act quickly." Yang Xiong nodded and turned around.

Jia Cong took Bai Qiuwei with him, and Wang Jin and others hurriedly followed.

"Well, take the princess with you!" Jia Cong walked to the door and suddenly turned around and said.

Now that the King of Liao is gone, the princess also has some prestige. If she can be made to surrender, it will be a big help.

Seeing that thousands of officers and soldiers had already gathered at the gate of the palace and were in good condition, Jia Cong secretly praised Yang Xiong for leading the troops well and said, "Uncle Shi, lead the troops first. I will talk to the princess." After that, he pulled Bai Qiuwei into the carriage. .

Yang Xiong took the order and with a wave of his hand led the large army to attack the Liao King's guard camp in the city.

Their actions were sudden and rapid, thorough and complete. Until this moment, the Guards Battalion did not know that the Liao Prince's Palace had been turned upside down.

The princess also had some courage. After being escorted into the car, she had already figured it out. She looked at Jia Cong and sneered: "Kill if you want. Don't expect me to do things for you."

Jia Cong smiled and said: "Why did the princess say this? Cong is acting according to the order. You see, the imperial edict and the golden arrows are all there. When it comes to doing things, we all do things for the emperor."

The princess said bitterly: "I think that if something happened to Huan'er in the capital, it was because of your Jin Yiwei."

Jia Cong shrugged and said, "The princess is really a smart person. She figured it out in just a moment."

"Bah! Traitor! Even if I were a ghost, I would never let you go!" The princess's eyes were red, and she wanted to peel off Jia Cong's skin and bones.

Jia Cong smiled and said: "Why do you have to worry so much, Princess? What's the point in the court if you kill me and I kill you? Back then, the King of Liao instigated Shengfan and Tartars to attack Liao Haiwei, and even the tenth prince was almost killed. What did I say? Don’t say that the princess knows anything about these things.”

The princess paused after hearing the words. She naturally knew these things, so she scolded: "Stop talking nonsense, just kill me if you have the ability."

Jia Cong waved his hand and said: "I actually don't like killing people, let alone killing women, especially a woman as charming as the princess."

The princess's heart trembled. Jia Cong's reputation as a womanizer was well known all over the world. Could it be that he wanted to... this shameless bastard!
Because he cursed angrily: "How shameless! After being a loyal man in vain, you do such a despicable thing, and you are not afraid of insulting the ancestors of your Jia family."

Jia Cong laughed dumbly, knowing that she was thinking wrongly. He hugged Bai Qiuwei and said, "Princess, you think too much. Isn't Cong a greedy person? Look at the color of my wife. How does it compare to the princess when she was younger?"

"Asshole! Let go, who is your wife?" Bai Qiuwei was so embarrassed that she hurriedly got away from him.

The princess glanced at Bai Qiuwei under the lights in the car, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised. She was such a beautiful girl. She felt a little relieved in her heart, knowing that she had misunderstood Jia Cong.

Jia Cong did not feel dissatisfied and said with a smile: "Princess, in fact, I just hope that you can put justice first, serve the court, and say that you will surrender the guard camp for me."

The princess sneered and said: "Idiots are talking, you and I are different, I will not let you get what you want even if I die."

Jia Cong said: "Princess, please don't talk to me. What are my conditions first?"

The princess simply closed her eyes and ignored him, determined never to make peace with this great enemy who had killed her husband and her son.

Jia Cong said: "Let me first talk about the disadvantages of the princess not cooperating with me. Although the princess now has no husband and son, she still has her biological family. Don't you want them to have their homes confiscated and exterminated? This is one of them."

The princess trembled when she heard the words, and couldn't help but open her eyes and shouted: "I heard that those who rule the world with filial piety will not harm other people's relatives; those who govern the world with benevolence will not stop people from being sacrificed. How can the Holy One allow you to implicate innocent people?"

Jia Cong said with a smile: "The princess doesn't know that the general will be away, so why is the king's order not to be met? I don't want to rule the world, let alone implement any benevolent government. I'll just kill him. Who can control me in Liaodong?"

What's more, their life and death does not depend on me, but on the princess's thoughts. "

"mean!"

"Secondly, I heard that the princess' reputation is the most important thing. If she is determined to go her own way and be buried with the King of Liao, Cong will have no choice but to reward the princess to the soldiers in the city for enjoyment.

I think these people will definitely like the princess's white, tender and fragrant body, and if they ask literati to write down the princess's deeds in a storybook and spread it to the world, then the princess's reputation will be very good. "Jia Cong smiled lightly.

Bai Qiuwei couldn't help but give him a dirty look.

"You!" The princess trembled, angry and frightened, pointing at Jia Cong and speechless.

Jia Cong looked at her coldly. If I can't deal with a woman, how can I lead troops to fight?

"Of course, if the princess understands the righteousness and cooperates with me to serve the emperor together, the benefits will be inevitable.

First, although you can no longer be a princess, you can be a concubine. No matter who inherits the title of King of Liao, how dare you disrespect you? The scenery will remain the same in the future;

Second, the princess’s family members can also be preserved;
Thirdly, I heard that the princess loves her son very much. Although the son is gone, Cong is confident that the princess can get her son back. "

The princess was shocked and said hurriedly: "Why do you pay Huan'er back to me?"

Jia Cong said with a smile: "If the son loses the princess, why don't we have another one? Isn't that why Yan Xing was born just now? I see that the princess is healthy and in the prime of life, so there is no difficulty in getting pregnant again."

The princess was ashamed and angry when she heard this. She spat and looked away. This bastard was talking nonsense again.

She originally had this intention, but now that the King of Liao is gone, who will she be born to?
Jia Cong said: "Don't worry, Princess, Cong can help you with this."

The princess turned red with anger and scolded: "It's obscene."

Bai Qiuwei also glared at him angrily, then quietly reached out and pinched his waist.

Ouch! Jia Cong was in pain and said hurriedly: "What are you thinking? Do you think I have never seen a woman?
What I mean is that no matter whether the princess likes young, old, tall, thin, delicate, strong, handsome, or mighty, as long as there is a man in the world, I promise to find him and help the princess. "

The princess couldn't help it any longer and cursed: "You bastard! You're going too far!"

Jia Cong said: "I have good intentions. The princess is well-read in poetry and books. She should know that Emperor Zetian also raised a lot of faces back then. Why didn't she say that she was famous? Is the princess's jade body more valuable than her old man?"

The princess blushed and cursed: "What dirty words are there, they are not disgusting."

Jia Cong smiled and said: "That's it. Anyway, Taoist Master Baiyun and Master Jingkong have just done the Dharma. Your son is waiting to be reincarnated into the princess's belly. How to choose, the princess will decide for herself."

The princess did not dare to look at Jia Cong, her heart was in a mess, and she was filled with hatred, anger, sadness, and fear, which finally turned into a sigh.

Jia Cong triumphantly gave Bai Qiuwei a complimentary look.

Bai Qiuwei couldn't bear to see his triumphant appearance, so she secretly spat, rolled her eyes at him, and ignored him. (End of chapter)
