Turning the tide in the Red Chamber

Chapter 80 [080] Xiangyun is drunk and lying on the peony, Jia Chen is awake and lying on Shi Xiangyun
Jia Chen was slightly taken aback, seeing the strange attire of these six assassins, at first glance he thought they were the Yellow Turban Army from the late Han Dynasty.

No time to think about it, the two yellow scarf assassins had already brandished the Yanling Saber and rushed towards him.

Two other yellow scarf assassins entangled Lin Daiyu.

The remaining two Yellow Turban Assassins took the opportunity to rush towards Jiamu.

Seeing this situation, Jia Chen's heart trembled slightly, and he suddenly realized that the real target of these assassins was actually Jia Mu!

What are they trying to do?
Why do you want to kill a first-rank lady?
Jia Mukong has rank but no real power. What motive do they have for killing Jia Mu?
Without time to think about it, Jia Chen swung out with a sweeping knife, forcing back the two yellow scarf assassins who were rushing towards him, then leaped into the air, twisted his body and performed a front somersault, and flew over the heads of the two men .

The landing point happened to be beside Jia's mother. As soon as his feet landed, Jia Chen twisted his waist and swung his arms, slashing diagonally.

"Hey!"

Accompanied by the sound of the blade cutting flesh, one of the yellow scarf assassins was split in half by slanting shoulders and hips!
The blood fountain gushes out, and the blood mist fills the air.

Before the other Yellow Turban Assassin could recover from his shock, Jia Chen swung his knife across and cut the opponent's waist in half.

This thunderous thunderbolt method stunned all the assassins.

The remaining assassins were terrified and devoid of fighting spirit, they ran away in panic.

In order to protect Jia Mu and others, Jia Chen did not take the opportunity to hunt down and kill them.

Dozens of corpses were lying here and there on the ground, and none of the fallen assassins survived.

Lin Daiyu put the knife back into its sheath, walked up to Jia Chen, and asked:

"Brother Chen, who are they? Why did they come to assassinate us?"

Jia Chen uncovered the mask of a yellow scarf assassin's corpse, narrowed his eyes for a while, and said in a deep voice:
"Judging from their appearance, they are likely to be Jurchens. I guess, they may be assassins sent by the Northeast Dajin Tiancong Khan Huang Taiji."

As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of gasping sound from all around.

Jia Zheng murmured:
"Our Jia family no longer holds military power, why did Dajin Tianconghan send someone to assassinate us?"

Jia Chen said surprisingly:

"Actually, their real target should only be the old lady."

Everyone was taken aback, and looked at Jia Chen with inquiring and suspicious eyes.

Jia Chen analyzed:
"Just now, two yellow turban assassins were in charge of holding me back, another two were in charge of entanglement with sister Lin, and the remaining two yellow turban assassins rushed straight to the old lady.

This shows that the primary target they want to assassinate is the old lady! "

As soon as these words came out, everyone was astonished and looked at each other in blank dismay.

Jia Amnesty exclaimed in surprise:
"How strange! Why did they assassinate the old lady?"

He asked the question in everyone's mind.

Everyone looked at Jia Chen in unison, as if they regarded him as the backbone of the Jia family.

Jia Chen said:
"For the time being, I don't know what Huang Taiji's motive for assassinating the old lady is. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. You need to return to Jia's mansion immediately and send someone to report to the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion and the Yamen of the Jingying Jiedushi.

Ask them to send people to strengthen the patrol around Ningrong Second Mansion, and investigate the identities of these assassins, and arrest the fish that slipped through the net, so as to prevent the other party from assassinating again. "

The current Jingying Jiedu envoy, Wang Ziteng, is the elder brother of Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue, and Wang Xifeng's uncle is a relative of the Jia family, so they will naturally respond to their requests.

Jia Zheng said in a deep voice:
"What Chen'er said is true, I will send someone to do it right away. This place is dangerous, let's go back home quickly."

Seeing that Jia Zheng obeyed Jia Chen's words, Xue Baochai's admiration and admiration for Jia Chen deepened.

Lin Daiyu's affection for Jia Chen also deepened again.

Last night, she tossed and turned, unable to sleep, and kept thinking about why Jia Chen accidentally spit into her mouth, but she was not angry, just shy.

Girls' feelings are always poetry, Lin Daiyu is still not familiar with men and women, and now she only has a vague love for Jia Chen, and her affection for Jia Chen has reached the level of "more than friends, not enough lovers".

When everyone returned to Rongguo Mansion, Mother Jia first sent someone to collect the bodies of the guards and paid generous pensions to their families.

After taking care of the funeral of the guards, Mother Jia immediately ordered a large banquet to thank Jia Chen and Lin Daiyu for their life-saving grace.

Today, I was able to escape from death almost entirely because of the guards of Jia Chen and Lin Daiyu.

In particular, Jia Chen blocked most of the assassins' attacks with his own strength, and even used thunder to scare off all the assassins.

Mother Jia invited Jia Chen to sit in the guest of honor position, and poured wine and tea for Jia Chen herself.

The masters and servants of the Jia family were all envious, and even Jia Baoyu was not treated so well.

Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng, Jia Lian, Jia Baoyu and other masters of the Jia family took turns to toast to Jia Chen, thanking him for turning the tide and, together with Lin Daiyu, saving the Jia family.

If it were not for Jia Chen and Lin Daiyu, I am afraid that the Jia family will be wiped out today.

Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, You Shi, Lou Shi, Wang Xifeng, Qin Keqing and other daughter-in-laws of the Jia family also lined up to toast Jia Chen.

Jia Zheng was worried that Jia Chen's drinking would hurt his health, so he thoughtfully took away the wine glass in his hand, poured him a cup of tea instead, and asked him to replace the wine with tea, and just pay back to everyone.

Seeing this situation, Jia Tanchun's lychee eyes flickered and his heart was agitated.

This is the iron-blooded man, the young hero!
Among the descendants of the Jia family, none can compare to Jia Chen.

It seems that in the future, the Jia family can only rely on Jia Chen if they want to honor their ancestors and revive their family.

Xue Pan pretended to be sick today and didn't go to the Qingxu Temple, but in fact he couldn't help himself and went to the Hongxiu Tower to play with the flower girl.

Although he didn't witness the scene of Jia Chen massacring the Quartet with his own eyes, he learned how dangerous the situation was from the conversations of the people.

Xue Pan's awe of Jia Chen deepened again, and he secretly decided to find a way to become a close friend with Jia Chen. In the future, he could find an opportunity to invite Jia Chen to play with the flower girls in the Hongxiu Building, and first become like-minded Guan Bao friends, wine and meat friends , and then heart-to-heart, to form a friendship with Jinlan.

Jia Chen used tea instead of wine, so he wouldn't get drunk, but Shi Xiangyun on the table next to him drank so dazed and dizzy.

Both of her parents died since she was a child. Although she looks carefree and heartless on the surface, she is actually lonely in her heart. She doesn't have many playmates of the same age in her uncle Shi Ding's home.

In Rongguo Mansion, however, there were many handkerchief acquaintances of the same age, such as Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun, Lin Daiyu, and Xue Baochai. Shi Xiangyun was naturally in a good mood, and drank a few more glasses on a whim.

Gradually, the smell of alcohol rose and his body felt dry and hot. Shi Xiangyun felt depressed, so he left without saying goodbye, staggered out of the hall alone, and went out to breathe.

When the wine and food are full, everyone breaks up happily.

Jia Chen drank too much tea, went to the hut to urinate, and was about to go back to the bedroom next to the Rongqing hall, so he called Qingwen and Xiangling to go back to his home together.

If he wanted to go back to Rongqing Hall, he needed to bypass a large peony bush. In order to take a shortcut, Jia Chen stepped directly into the peony bush, wanting to go directly through this sea of ​​flowers.

Groups of colorful peony flowers are steaming clouds, forming a continuous sea, swaying with the wind, and the waves are undulating.

When he reached the depths of the sea of ​​flowers, Jia Chen suddenly felt that something tripped his thigh.

Staggering on the soles of his feet, Jia Chen couldn't stabilize his figure and fell forward.

The lower body is soft, and the lips are soft to the touch.

Jia Chen took a closer look and found that he fell on a little girl.

It turned out that in the sea of ​​flowers, there was a stone bench hidden, and a girl in her early ten years was lying on it.

A pack of peony flowers was resting on her head, and the surrounding flowers were full of flowers. The breeze rolled up peony petals and flew to her body, and a group of bees and butterflies danced around her noisily.

Jia Chen suddenly remembered a poem:

"Beiyuan Luo skirt belt, Chenqu Jinxiu shoes.

Drunken sleep under the fragrant tree, half buried by fallen flowers. "

Leaning over and taking a closer look, it turns out that this plump beauty with a delicate sleeping face is Shi Xiangyun.
