Turning the tide in the Red Chamber

Chapter 122 [122] Promotion

The bodyguards were full of vigor and fighting spirit. Although their bodies were injured, their morale remained undiminished.

On the other hand, Cao Bianjiao's subordinates were out of breath, covered in bruises, and sweating profusely, obviously on the verge of exhaustion.

Zhang Yang, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, could no longer hold back the anger in his heart, and shouted at Jia Chen:

"Jia Chen, how did you do it?"

He asked out the doubts in the hearts of everyone present.

However, Jia Chen was too lazy to talk to him and continued to beat the drums to cheer him on.

The morale of the bodyguards soared, and they rushed towards Cao Bianjiao's [-] subordinates.

The final Jedi counterattack has begun.

The people around watched with excitement.

The soldiers of the army still wanted to resist, but they were suppressed by the absolute momentum of the bodyguards, unable to turn back.

A hearty fight is drawing to a close.

When Jia Chen stopped beating the drums, there were only a few bodyguards with broken tendons and broken bones left in the arena, who were still standing staggeringly.

The onlookers sighed.

All the fierce soldiers of the army fell to the ground, and most of the bodyguards also lay on the ground in disorder. Although this battle did not use real swords and guns, it was extremely tragic.

Lu Xiangsheng said excitedly:
"I declare that Team Jia Chen wins!"

There was a roar of cheers and applause all around, and everyone looked at Jia Chen with respect in their eyes.

Amidst the cheers that shook the whole field, Jia Chen put down the drumstick, walked slowly to Cao Bianjiao, and said flatly:
"Master Cao, you lost."

Cao Bianjiao's face darkened, and he roared hysterically: "You are not human at all, do you know how to use demon skills?"

As soon as these words came out, people's eyes focused on Jia Chen.

Although Cao Bianjiao's statement was a bit exaggerated, everyone was a little dubious.

Could it be that Jia Chen really knows magic tricks?
Otherwise, how could the bodyguards, who were already doomed to lose, turn defeat into victory?
Could it be that the timidity at the beginning was all faked?

Showing others with weakness is a trick of arrogant soldiers!
Under the gaze of everyone, Jia Chen sneered and said:

"Mr. Cao, you are so whimsical. If I know how to demonize, how can I allow you to be so presumptuous? How could my subordinates pay such a high price!"

As soon as these words came out, Cao Bianjiao was speechless.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Indeed, although Jia Chen won this match, the price he paid was not small.

The bodyguards won the victory with great difficulty. Obviously, there is no so-called demon law at all.

Cao Bianjiao was speechless, but Zhang Yang jumped out.

"Bah!" For Jia Chen's statement, Zhang Yang snorted coldly with disdain: "Jia Chen, you must have played a trick, otherwise, it would be impossible to win."

Jia Chen sneered and said:
"Then tell me, what kind of trick did I play? If you can't tell, then you're setting the blame on and insulting the innocent. There are so many people watching here. If you tell it, you will be ashamed!"

"You, you, you" Zhang Yang faltered, but couldn't explain why.

There was a burst of laughter all around.

"This guy is really shameless. If you lose, you lose, and you want to deny it."

"It's because I'm the prince's brother-in-law, otherwise, this kid is a local ruffian."

"This Zhang Yang used to be unscrupulous, bullying men and women, this time someone finally took care of him!"

"This kind of bullying bastard will finally have a shameful day!"

Hearing the cynicism from the people around him, Zhang Yang almost gritted his back molars, his face was livid with anger, his chest was tight, he wished to cut Jia Chen into pieces, but after thinking about it, he didn't dare, because he couldn't beat Jia Chen .

Ignoring this cowardly and arrogant dude, Jia Chen looked at Cao Bianjiao and asked coldly:
"Cao Bianjiao! You still don't admit defeat? Look at your men, are there any standing?"

Cao Bianjiao stood proudly, mouth curled up, looking up at the sky, unwilling to respond.

Seeing him put on a posture that a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, Jia Chen grabbed his collar and asked:

"Cao Bianjiao! What kind of warrior are you! You are nothing but a coward who cannot afford to lose!"

Cao Bianjiao gritted his teeth and asked:
"Why do you call me a coward?"

Jia Chen sneered and said:
"You lost to me in archery, but you refused to admit it. You were defeated by me in battle, but you still refused to admit defeat. Tell me, are you a coward?"

Cao Bianjiao pursed his lips tightly, showing embarrassment, but remained silent.

The people around also pointed at Cao Bianjiao, showing contempt and disdain.

In fact, Cao Bianjiao had already admitted defeat in his heart, but he had rarely met an opponent before and was invincible, and the arrogance he cultivated did not allow him to admit defeat to others.

The onlookers were full of praise and appreciation for Jia Chen.

This young man is so amazing!

Lu Xiangsheng developed a feeling of admiration for Jia Chen, and at first he thought Jia Chen would lose.

But Jia Chen won.

He actually defeated a hundred soldiers with a hundred bodyguards head-on.

Such outstanding military training ability is rare in the world.

Jia Chen ordered several doctors to be brought in to treat the bodyguards' wounds.

The escorts were deeply moved and became loyal to Jia Chen.

When Jia Chen returned to Luoyang City, Lin Daiyu told him that there was news from Shenjing City just now, that Prince Teng Desheng returned to Beijing after the Jingying Festival, led the Jingying to quell the banditry, and drove away all the bandits in Rongguo Mansion. Now you can go back to Beijing.

Jia Chen was also delighted, in this way, Mother Jia would not be able to go to Jinling City, nor would she be able to see Yuanyang's parents, so naturally she would not know that the treasure Liu Xianglian and the others escorted was actually her private money.

The next day, everyone set off and returned to Shenjing City.

Jia Chen went to Yangzhou City to rectify the officialdom, punished the illegal salt merchants, and defeated the Japanese pirates. When he returned to Beijing to face the saint, Emperor Chongrui praised him more, gave him one thousand taels of silver, and promoted him to an official position. level, and became the fourth-rank imperial captain.

On the other side, Jia Lian returned to Rongguo Mansion, and after having lunch with Wang Xifeng and Ping'er, he quietly came to a certain house in the back street of Ningrong.

In this yard, he secretly kept a house of concubines.

Looking around to make sure there was no one around, Jia Lian walked into the courtyard gate.

But when he walked into the bedroom, he was suddenly furious.

Unexpectedly, there was a man lying on my concubine's bed!
This is a cuckold!
Tolerable or unbearable?
Jia Lian couldn't bear such shame and humiliation!
"Where did the pickled dog thief come from?"

Gritting her teeth, Jia Lian rushed forward and pulled the man off the bed, raising her hand as if to slap him.

The man stumbled, opened his sleepy eyes, and asked proudly, "Bold! Who are you?"

Jia Lian was so angry that he shouted violently:

"Where did the rascal come from? How dare you call me bold?"

As he spoke, Jia Lian punched the man on the bridge of the nose.

"Ouch!"

Nosebleeds gushed out, the man was beaten, screamed, and threatened:

"Who are you? How dare you hurt me? You're courting death!"

Unexpectedly, Jia Lian was not afraid at all, but became even more angrily, roaring:
"You bastard, you insult my concubine, and dare to speak wild words?"

The concubine at the side also woke up, curled up in the corner of the bed in fright, trembling all over.

Jia Lian punched the opponent again, making him black-eyed.

However, the next moment, the man suddenly shouted:

"You bastard, why don't you stop? I am the second prince, Zhang Jinyu!"
