Turning the tide in the Red Chamber

Chapter 70 [070] Mother Jia entered the palace to help out, Daiyu made great contributions with her sword
Jia's mother put on the imperial phoenix coronet and Xiapei of the first rank, put on heavy make-up, and rode in the scarlet gold-threaded and python-pattern brocade carriage that could only be equipped by a first-rank official, and was surrounded by the masters and servants of the Jia family. Rush to the palace.

Lin Daiyu was worried about Jia Chen's safety and repeatedly begged to go with Jia's mother.

Jia Mu couldn't resist her, so she let her ride a carriage with her.

In front of the carriage are two rows of courtyard guards with simple knives hanging from their waists, carrying gongs and mallets in their hands.

Behind the carriage was a group of servants, carrying a few plaques with gold letters on a black background.

The words on all the plaques add up to only a few crosses.

But the words are less kind and the words are more important!

Every word is the feat of the ancestors of the Jia family who charged forward and fought with a knife and a gun.

At the front of the team, Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu rode tall horses and walked side by side.

Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng were sitting in the two eight-seater sedan chairs at the back.

The team stretched for hundreds of feet, the momentum was huge, and the ostentation was astonishing.

It attracted passers-by to look sideways, point and talk endlessly.

The Jia family's unusual and grand trip was like a gust of wind, quickly spreading throughout the city of Shenjing, and also alarmed the Jianguo and Chongrui clans, as well as the neutral civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

They sent spies one after another to quietly follow the Jia family's team, wanting to see where they were going?

At this time, Wang Xifeng was supervising the production and packaging of the cream in the workshop, when suddenly a servant rushed to report to her that it was Mother Jia who wanted to carry the plaque into the palace.

Hearing these words, Wang Xifeng immediately turned pale with shock.

Every step of the way in the palace is murderous, and if you make a wrong move, you may die, and even bring about the disaster of extermination.

The old lady was willing to take such a big risk for a side child, Jia Chen, which shocked Wang Xifeng deeply, and it was unbelievable.

But after Wang Xifeng thought about it for a while, he figured out the key point.

Most of the descendants of the Jia family in the Ningrong Second Mansion were unworthy, unable to succeed in literature and martial arts, and none of them had great prospects.

When the old lady returns to the west with a crane, she is afraid that the tree will fall and the monkeys will disperse, and the Jia family will completely decline from then on.

And Jia Chen is both civil and military, and he can write books. In the future, it is very likely that he will rank first in the imperial examination, get a title on the gold list, be an official butcher, and rejuvenate the Jia family.

For this talented person who can support a family, the old lady is going all out this time.

Wang Xifeng originally wanted to pretend to be deaf and dumb, hiding in the workshop, wise and safe.

But she changed her mind, how can there be no eggs under the overturned nest?I am the daughter-in-law of the Jia family, if the Jia family's trip to the palace brings disaster, then I will not be spared.

Thinking of this, Wang Xifeng hurried into the carriage and caught up with Jia's mighty team on the way.

The maid Yuanyang lifted the curtain of the carriage.

Standing beside the carriage, Wang Xifeng bowed his knees and gave a blessing to the compartment of the carriage:
"My daughter-in-law pays respects to my ancestors!"

Mother Jia's words came from the carriage:

"Feng girl, you came just in time. Today, my Jia family bet the fate of the whole family to save that kid Jia Chen. With you assisting me to enter the harem together, it can be said to be like a tiger with wings added, and the chances of winning are greatly increased. Get in the carriage, you sister Lin Also in the car, the three of us summed up on the road."

"Yes!"

With the support of the maids, Wang Xifeng boarded the carriage, and the team set off again, heading towards the palace in a meandering way.

On the other hand, Jia Chen had already come out of the palace, jumped a few times, stepped on the wall of the house, flew over the eaves and walls, took a shortcut and flew across several streets, and rushed to the cream workshop to inspect the production of the cream. team.

Mother Jia and her party also had no idea that Jia Chen had already left the palace and was still marching towards the palace.

When walking to a narrow alley, the originally neat team was squeezed by the narrow road, and the formation became a little chaotic.

Suddenly, a few fish vendors on the side of the road pushed over a dozen wooden barrels, and the fish in the barrels, together with the water, splashed out and flowed to the feet of the crowd.

In the blink of an eye, several nurses who were in charge of beating the gong to clear the way were caught off guard, stepped on the alive and kicking Huayu, and fell to the ground.

The next moment, the sudden change!

Dozens of passers-by and street vendors on both sides suddenly drew out their swords, and surrounded and killed the carriage that Jia Mu and others were riding in.

Although Jia's guards had a large number of people, they were all weak in martial arts and unprepared. They killed several of them just by meeting each other.

Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu, who rode at the forefront, turned pale with shock. They don't know martial arts, so they dared not turn around to rescue them, and they both fled on horseback.

Jia Amnesty poked his head out of the sedan chair, seeing this scene, his face turned pale with fright.

He used to think that his martial arts were extraordinary, until the last time he shot three arrows in a row, he killed a bandit tied to a tree, which made him see clearly how bad his martial arts were.

Facing the sudden attack of many assassins now, Jia Amnesty was instantly terrified.

He hurriedly got out of the sedan chair, gathered a few nurses to protect him with knives, and fled back in a panic.

What is different from him is that Jia Zheng is a nerd who does not understand ordinary affairs. Although he is not very courageous, he still knows the principle of "filial piety". How can he abandon the old lady and run away by himself?

He got out of the sedan chair, commanded the nurse and the servants to defend Jia Mu's carriage desperately, and retreated while fighting.

However, the opponent's martial arts were superior to those of the nurses and the servants, and they killed and wounded dozens of people in no time.

Seeing that more than half of the nursing home and the servants were injured or injured, they were a little bit overwhelmed and on the verge of collapse.

Under the astonished eyes of Jia Mu and Wang Xifeng, Lin Daiyu opened the curtain of the carriage, jumped and jumped down.

Jiamu exclaimed in surprise:
"Yu'er, come back quickly, it's dangerous outside."

However, before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly rounded her cloudy old eyes and opened her mouth with missing teeth.

Lin Daiyu raised her toes, picked up a long sword from the ground, stretched out her hand, and grasped the hilt.

Immediately afterwards, she stepped on the Seven Stars and charged towards the approaching assassins.

With the waving of her jade hand, dazzling sword moves were frequently used, which was dizzying.

Immortals guide the way, hide flowers in leaves, climb mountains and chase snakes, tigers embrace their heads, golden rooster stands alone, phoenix nods its head, Kuixing stands upright, yellow dragon probes its claws, and three rings wrap around the moon.
There were bursts of screams one after another, and the assassins were hit by swords one after another, either dead or injured.

With Lin Daiyu joining the battle group, the precarious battle situation was quickly reversed.

Lin Daiyu fought against more than a dozen assassins by herself.

The assassins were all terrified. They had no idea that they were about to win a big victory, so why would they suddenly rush out of a little girl in her early ten years, as if possessed by a sword fairy, so brave.

The morale of the guards and servants was greatly boosted, and with the remaining courage, they fought together with the rest of the assassins and gradually gained the upper hand.

Jia's mother, Wang Xifeng and Jia Zheng were all stunned and shocked, and couldn't believe their eyes.

How could Lin Daiyu, who has always been weak and suffering from chronic illness, have such strong martial arts?
That chic and elegant figure, superb sword moves, like a nine-day goddess, descended from the mortal world.

They didn't know that Lin Daiyu's exquisite swordsmanship was actually taught by Jia Chen.

Jia Chen hadn't had time to teach her lightness kung fu, but when Lin Daiyu learned lightness kung fu, her fighting power would definitely soar again.

On the other side, in the cream workshop.

A young servant reported to Jia Chen that Wang Xifeng followed Jia Mu and other Jia family masters and servants, carrying the plaque bestowed by the former emperors, to the palace to look for Old Concubine Zhen.

Jia Chen's complexion darkened, and he secretly thought something was wrong.

According to the young servant, Mother Jia carried the plaque into the palace to save herself, and asked Old Concubine Zhen for help.

And the old concubine Zhen is the mother of the Supreme Emperor. If the old concubine Zhen agrees to help Jia's mother, she must intercede with Emperor Chongrui through the Supreme Emperor.

The Jia family belonged to the founding lineage, they were the confidants of the Supreme Emperor, and were deeply feared by Emperor Chongrui.

I finally won the favor of Emperor Chongrui. If Jia's mother entered the palace to intercede for her, the Supreme Emperor would eventually come forward to seek peace with Emperor Chongrui, and Emperor Chongrui would definitely think that the Jia family had a close relationship with the Supreme Emperor. I also feel alienated and even hostile to myself.

Thinking of this, Jia Chen rushed out of the cream workshop, performed lightness kung fu, and rushed towards the palace.

At the same time, under the leadership of Lin Daiyu, the nurses and servants of the Jia family killed the assassins.

In order to save Jia Chen as soon as possible, Lin Daiyu had no time to investigate the identities of the assassins, and accompanied Jia Mu, Wang Xifeng, and Jia Zheng, led the nurse and servants to carry the plaque and hurried to the palace.

In less than a cup of tea, the vermilion lacquer gate of the imperial palace is already in sight.
