The Red Mansions

Chapter 125 Retreat the enemy!Promotion!

Among the crowd, Jia Yun killed and killed.

His moves are concise, simple and heavy, like the strength of the pine, and the swiftness of the wind, opening and closing.

This was his first time killing people, and after the initial discomfort, he quickly became comfortable.

Jia Yun's eyes became brighter and her mood became calmer. She either fought or retreated, and surrounded Lin Ruhai with her personal guards and quickly moved to the foot of the south.

Wen Junshou, Jiang Songhe and others in the corner obviously also saw what was happening on Jia Yun's side.

"Master Lin, hurry up, this way!"

When they saw Lin Ruhai, they all shouted with ecstasy on their faces.

Didn't they know that their yelling like that just attracted the attention of the pirates again.

The three Diao Wenhuan brothers were leading their subordinates to fight at Jia Yun's side. When they heard the shout, they turned around and saw that their expressions changed drastically.

Diao Wenhuan hurriedly said: "Third brother and fourth brother, this is a hard stubble, don't love to fight, let's grab those high-ranking officials and leave!"

Diao Wenhao and Diao Wenyong also discovered the situation there. If Jia Yun, Wen Junshou, Jiang Songhe and others were to join up, even if they got people, they would lose a lot of people.

So the three of them didn't care about Jia Yun's situation, turned around and rushed to the south, and swung their knives as they walked forward.

Wen Junshou, Jiang Songhe and the others didn't have many guards, and they were all crowded together before, so they couldn't use it, and the loss was great. Now the three brothers Diao Wenhuan came to surround and kill with their men, and the loss was even greater!

Visible to the naked eye, the number of guards has decreased from nearly a hundred to dozens.

The pirates tried their best to end the battle quickly, they were already elite, and with the addition of exchanging injuries for injuries, their combat power suddenly increased greatly.

Jia Yun scolded the idiot secretly, and shouted loudly to the guards behind her: "Clan people, follow me to form formation!"

He didn't want to save Wen Junshou, Jiang Songhe and others, but Lin Ruhai yelled, seeing that there was an opportunity for him, so he went there decisively.

Now it seems that I still think too simple, if I worry about the life of the guards, I might not be able to save a single person.

If you want to save people now, you should stop killing with killing, first deter the enemy before you can take advantage of it, or trade your life for your life and drag it until the Ningbo Guards come over.

When the people heard Jia Yun's shout, they stopped caring about Lin Ruhai and Jia Ming, and immediately formed a formation with Jia Yun, using Jia Yun as an arrow, piercing the enemy's heart like a cloud-piercing arrow.

Jia Yun was in the front, only to break through the defense, not to kill the enemy, but the guards behind him made up their swords very quickly.

The light of the knife flashed, and one by one their lives went to the Land of Ultimate Bliss.

After all, there are many people and strong strength, Jia Yun's group's combat power instantly increased, Jia Yun was responsible for breaking, and the personal guards were responsible for killing.

After a while, he went straight to the south corner, and fought hand-to-hand with the people around the three Diao brothers, and directly confronted them.

Jia Yun visually estimated that there were 60 to [-] pirates gathered here, and she thought that it would be better to kill them again to scare them away. If there are so many pirates, it will be difficult to deal with them if they use bows, crossbows and muskets. up.

But Lin Ruhai and Jia Ming followed closely behind them at this moment, not daring to be distracted in the slightest.

Because at this time, Jia Yun's team was mainly focused on killing the enemy and had almost no defense, so if the two of them didn't want to die, they had to stay in the team's safe zone.

At this time, Diao Wenyong saw Jia Yun approaching from the front, and laughed loudly: "My good boy, I didn't want to trouble you so soon, but you wanted to die, so it's no wonder you are the fourth master Diao!"

After finishing speaking, he led his men straight to Jia Yun's side.

"Ugly people die from talking too much!" With a shake of the iron sword in Jia Yun's hand, he pulled Diao Wenyong's Japanese sword away, stabbed him lightly, and killed him.

Diao Wenhuan, who had been paying attention to the situation here, saw blood gushing from Diao Wenyong's neck, his face changed, and he almost went crazy.

"Fourth brother!" He roared, his eyes were red, and he squeezed over desperately, wanting to take revenge.

Hearing the roar, Diao Wenhao, the third son over there, turned his head and saw Diao Wenyong fell down, his eyes showed sadness, then he looked at Wen Junshou and Jiang Songhe, as if he was looking at dead people, and shouted to his subordinates: "Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Hearing the sound of killing, the pirates became even crazier, desperately fighting with Wen Junshou and the others' guards.

There were not many guards for Wen Junshou and others, and after fighting for a while, there were only a dozen or so left in an instant.

Now that the pirates rushed to kill them desperately, Wen Junshou and others suddenly became precarious.

What made people even more anxious was that Diao Wenyong suddenly took a lock from his waist and put it to his mouth, blowing desperately.

After babbling for a while, hundreds of people rushed in from outside the hall.

The pirates' side suddenly gained momentum, while most of the guards on the officials' side showed despair.

Jia Yun slashed one person to death with a sword, and said angrily, "Bastard, how many of you are here?"

Diao Wenhuan, who was still squeezing in the crowd over there, laughed loudly, and said with endless madness on his face:
"Hahahaha, I made full preparations today for you corrupt officials who are fish and meat people, and sent more than 700 people in one go. Let's see if you will die today!"

Jia Yun didn't care so much, she shook off the weapons of the pirates blocking the way, let the guards make up the knife, and continued to charge forward.

Then he snorted coldly, looked at Diao Wenhuan and said decisively: "Don't worry, you must be the ones who die today!"

boom! boom! boom!
The iron sword in his hand trembled even faster, and all the pirates who were in close contact with him had their weapons knocked to the ground. Before they could react, they were hacked to death by the guards behind him with their knives.

Hundreds of people gathered in the south corner of the guild hall, just like this, but it gave Jia Yun and the others a chance to breathe, because although there were many pirates, it was inconvenient to use them.

Just like Diao Wenhuan now, although he really wanted to come and hack Jia Yun to death, he just couldn't.

But Jia Yun and the others didn't slow down, on the contrary, they moved faster.

Because Jia Yun opened the way ahead, they soon broke through layers of siege and joined Wen Junshou and others.

"Attention, the pirates have crossbows and muskets. We can't sit here and wait for death. We must mix with them and look for opportunities to break through!" Jia Yun reminded.

Then, regardless of whether Wen Junshou and the others agreed or not, they brought their personal guards to kill in the opposite direction.

At this moment, Jia Yun has no worries at all. After all, Wen Junshou and others still have more than a dozen guards. These guards can protect the officials and barely defend themselves. Jia Yun and others can let go of their hands and feet to kill the enemy .

However, Jia Yun did not fight blindly. There is a saying: draw a bow to be strong, and use an arrow to be long.When shooting a man, shoot a horse first, and when capturing a thief, first capture the king.

Seeing that she was not far from the arrogant leader, Jia Yun went straight to kill Diao Wenhuan.

Diao Wenhuan was also tall, so he also rushed straight to Jia Yun's side, which was exactly what Jia Yun wanted.

Soon, Jia Yun fought his way out and ran into Diao Wenhuan.

As soon as Diao Wenhuan emerged from the crowd, his face brightened. Jia Yun cut off his head without any nonsense.

However, this move not only failed to hit the pirates, but aroused their hatred, and they all clamored for revenge.

While killing people, Jia Yun hummed provocative words, and said loudly: "Hate it, I'll kill that lock blower again, and see if you still have the heart to hate me!"

Since the man can command the pirates, he can be seen as a leader at a glance.

Jia Yun didn't really think about killing that person right now. After all, these pirates are different from ordinary people, and they seem to be desperate.

If that person is also killed, maybe these people will be victorious instead and want to die. Before Jia Wenlin dispatched troops, he didn't want to do this.

Sure enough, after hearing what Jia Yun said, the pirates began to have concerns.

Seeing Jia Yun rushing to Diao Wenhao's side quickly, everyone panicked.

Today they have all seen Jia Yun's terrifying fighting power. This kid looks elegant and easy-going, but he is a ruthless character who kills people without blinking an eye. No one will believe him when he says he wants to kill Diao Wenhao.

Diao Wenhao naturally also heard Jia Yun's call, and his heart skipped a beat. He didn't even have the courage to look at Jia Yun, and subconsciously took a few steps back towards the door.

Then some pirates began to persuade: "The third master, I am afraid that the task will not be completed today, the second master and the fourth master have both gone, you can't have any accidents, or let's think about it in the long run?"

"Third Master, withdraw, if you don't withdraw, we will all confess here!"

"Let's get out, if we die, it's just a cheap life, but you, the third in charge, can't have any more accidents!"

"..."

Jia Yun chuckled in her heart, and seeing the effect, she stepped up her attack and roared, "I want to retreat, but there is no way, let's see if the sword in my hand agrees!"

After a few swipes, he killed two or three more people. The guards behind him also cheered up, and their movements became more agile. They each selected their targets, and knocked down more than a dozen people in an instant.

Diao Wenhao tried his best to look this way, and saw a vacuum around Jia Yun, and those pirates were powerless to fight, so they panicked even more.

So he no longer hesitated, and quickly shouted: "Withdraw! Quickly withdraw!"

With that said, he turned around and ran out desperately.

When the pirates saw Diao Wenhao run away, they followed suit. Jia Yun and his personal guards, including the guards who were protecting Wen Junshou, also started to chase after him.

Jia Yun led the men to chase for several streets, then stopped and stopped chasing.

He still knows the reason why the poor should not chase after them, and the safety of your lords is the most important right now.

At the same time, I was also rejoicing. Fortunately, he had killed several bosses before, otherwise the pirates would not have retreated so quickly today.

If he fights for a while, even if the officials on his side can be rescued, his personal guards will be killed and injured.

This was something he didn't want to see. After all, these personal guards were all members of the tribe. Jia Yun had seen their fighting power today, and they were indeed worthy of the Jia family's children.

At the beginning, the ancestors of the Jia family relied on these clansmen with superb martial arts skills and the ability to fight to the death to fight for two dukes' mansions on the battlefield.

Back at the guild hall, after Jia Yun, Lin Ruhai and others met up, they quickly withdrew them to the Ningbo government office.

Although the battle just now was a long story, it actually ended in less than a quarter of an hour. Maybe the government hasn't got any news yet.

When we arrived at the government office, soldiers from the inspection department and many government servants came to make up the numbers, and the popularity rose.

Only when Wen Junshou and others went to the government office to discuss matters did Jia Yun have time to care about the casualties of her personal guards.

Jia Wenlin took two people away, and eight people remained in the guild hall.

In the corridor, the guards lined up. Jia Yun checked them one by one and found that they were all wounded.

Their faces were pale, but their eyes were extremely bright. It was obvious that after seeing blood, although these young lads were injured, they were all excited and excited.

Jia Yun watched from the beginning to the end, and breathed a sigh of relief. Most of the guards were slashed a few times, but they were not fatal. They just lost a lot of blood and their complexions were not very good.

"They are all good! As expected of the elite from the Jia family!" Jia Yun praised.

The guards immediately straightened their backs, with pride on their faces.

Jia Yun smiled and said: "Don't hold on, you all brought the medicine for sores, right? If you bring it, apply it quickly. If you all fall down after a while, who will protect me, a powerless scholar?" ?”

The guards roared with laughter. It was the first time they discovered Jia Yun's fighting power, so Jia Yun's self-inflicted injury made them laugh.

Everyone relaxed, and Jia Yun took them to an empty room, two by two, and changed the dressing for each other.

Jia Yun picked up the seriously injured one to help, and didn't get any strong alcohol to disinfect it. That's the unhappiness of idlers dying. This golden sore medicine can disinfect and stop bleeding, so there is no need to do anything extra.

After everyone was bandaged up, Jia Yun asked them to rest and stay in the government office for now. Even if the pirates shot back again, the inspectors and government officials guarding the door would be able to last for a while.

At this time, an official walked into the room, cupped his hands and said, "But Mr. Yunjia, the Prime Minister of Cixi County? Your Excellency, please!"

Jia Yun bowed her hands back, held her sword, and followed the visitors to the back house of the government office.

At this time, his whole body was covered with blood, and he was holding a sword. His demeanor was elegant and heroic, which made the officials leading the way take a few more glances.

Soon, Jia Yun was taken to a side hall.

The hall was brightly lit, Wen Junshou and Jiang Songhe sat on top, and a dozen officials sat on the left and right below.

Jia Yun's heart skipped a beat. She didn't pay much attention in the guild hall before, only now did she realize that there were more people gathered there today than he had imagined.

Looking at their official uniforms, at least all of them are officials from the fifth rank or above. Most of them have washed and washed at the moment, but there is still lingering fear on their faces.

Jia Yun came to the middle of the side hall and bowed to everyone: "I'm the Prime Minister of Cixi County, Jia Yun, I have met all of you adults!"

Wen Junshou and Jiang Songhe looked at each other, Wen Junshou smiled and said: "There is no need to be too polite, the Prime Minister of Jia County has both political integrity and talent, and he is worthy of being the pillar of the country!"

"My lord is too serious, I am ashamed to be an official!" Jia Yun replied humbly, her heart moved, to be praised by the superior as having both ability and political integrity, literary and martial arts, and a pillar of the country, this is the hope of promotion!
"Deserve it, who should not be the prime minister of Jia County?" Wen Junshou said with a smile.

Then his face became serious, and he said again: "Maybe Zizheng didn't know that during the chaos just now, your Cixi magistrate Gong Chaoxu died unexpectedly!"

"But Cixi cannot live without a county magistrate, so all the adults jointly recommended Zizheng to be the magistrate of Cixi, what's Zizheng's opinion?"

Jia Yun was startled, and said hesitantly: "Thank you for your kindness, my lords, but I'm too young..."

"Hahaha..." Wen Junshou laughed loudly, waved his hand and said, "Youth is not a problem, the adults sitting here are not from their youth, I just asked Zizheng, would you like to succeed the post of Cixi magistrate!"

"I am willing!" Jia Yun replied immediately.

Just kidding, as long as you are in the officialdom, you can give in to everything else, except promotion!

Seeing that Jia Yun agreed, everyone in the hall smiled knowingly.

Wen Junshou said with a smile: "In this case, I will issue an official letter tomorrow in the name of Zhejiang Governor's Yamen. After Zizheng returns, please don't leak the news first, so as not to cause complications!"

"Yes, thank you Mrs. Wen for your kindness. I will remember the kindness of my lords for your support." Jia Yun bowed and thanked.

At this time, Jiang Songhe, who was sitting next to him, said earnestly: "I hope that after you succeed the county magistrate, you will be able to be loyal to state affairs, bear hardships without complaint, guard against arrogance and impetuosity, be self-denying and devoted to public affairs, be brave in doing things, and work hard for the court and society!"

Jia Yun saluted and replied: "Thank you for your instruction, my lord, I will keep it in mind!"

"Okay, it's getting late now, let Zizheng go back to wash and rest first, there's still time to talk about things tomorrow!" Wen Junshou said with a smile.

Jia Yun saluted everyone again, took her leave and left.

When she came to the corridor, Jia Yun was full of excitement. She didn't expect such a big harvest today.

The magistrate of the eighth-rank county was promoted to the magistrate of the seventh-rank county. In order to advance to these two levels, many people spent a lifetime of youth and still couldn't get past it.

At this moment, Jia Yun thought of Lin Ruhai's yelling in hindsight, and it was so right.

"I never thought that hugging grass and beating rabbits would directly or indirectly save so many high officials!" Jia Yun said excitedly.

At the same time, he was also satisfied with the fact that he acted according to circumstances without hesitation at that time. Although he was a little impulsive, he should not be so reckless in the future, but his decision today is tantamount to a huge harvest.

"Being the magistrate of the seventh rank, if it weren't for this incident, even if I had passed the examination, I would have to be at the top of the palace examination to have a chance to become the magistrate!" Jia Yun thought to herself.

Don't look at the county magistrate who is called the seventh-rank sesame official, but he has a lot of power in the local area. In later generations, he will enjoy the treatment of the director-level.

Of course, today was also Jia Yun's luck. He met Wen Junshou, governor of Zhejiang. As a governor, it was quite easy for him to recommend the appointment of a county magistrate.

In addition to him, Jiang Songhe, Zuo Zheng of Zhejiang Province, also has this right. With the joint recommendation of other officials, large and small, Jia Yun, the county magistrate, must not be able to escape.

Back in the front yard, Jia Yun's mood has calmed down. Before being promoted, publicity is the most taboo, and low-key should be kept low-key. It is best to eat meat buried in rice.

Because Gong Chaoxu died, and more than a dozen government servants who came with him also died, so all the officials who came from Cixi came to Jia Yun, the second in command, to discuss matters.

"What happened to Lord Gong's body?" Jia Yun asked Jing Lushi, the head secretary of Cixi.

Jing Lushi clasped his hands and replied, "Your Majesty and his colleagues just now worked together to find a decent coffin and store Lord Gong's body, but please show me what to do next."

Jia Yun pondered for a moment, then ordered: "Order people to guard it first, and tomorrow I will send a few yamen servants to carry it back to Cixi, and hand over the body to Lord Gong's family."

"As for whether they should be buried nearby or transported back to their hometown, let them decide for themselves!"

Having said that, Jia Yun knows that people these days are all about returning to their roots, and it is estimated that Gong Chaoxu's family will transport him back to his hometown for burial.

After thinking about it, Jia Yun took out five ingots, a total of 50 taels of silver, from her sleeve, handed them to Jing Lushi, and said:

"Master Gong died unfortunately, I am very sorry, please help bring this money to Lord Xi's family!"

"Master Bie Wai Jing still needs to count the number of casualties, and the pensions that should be given must also be allocated on time, without delay."
