Turning the tide in the Red Chamber

Chapter 84 [084] As a tiger with wings, there will eventually be a showdown day
Jia Chen suddenly remembered that in the original book, Liu Xianglian beat Xue Pan violently.

Just now, Liu Xianglian said that the person he offended should not be, could it be Xue Pan?
Thinking about this, Jia Chen tentatively asked:

"May I ask, did Xue Pan offend Brother Liu?"

Liu Xianglian chuckled lightly and said:

"That idiot Xue has already been beaten up by me. Although he has a prominent family background, he is not enough to make me afraid."

Jia Chen asked curiously:
"Then who is the other party?"

Liu Xianglian sighed faintly:

"The person I offended was a prince."

Jia Chen said with emotion:
"Brother Liu Shi, you and I chatted over wine, hit it off at first sight, never met each other later, your business is my business, but I don't know which prince you offended?

I would like to do my best to help you think of a solution. "

Liu Xianglian sighed lightly and said:

"Forget it, since Brother Chen treats me sincerely, then I will tell the truth."

As he spoke, he looked out vigilantly, and seeing no one outside, he got up and went to the door, and closed the door and window tightly.

Stepping back to the seat and sitting down, Liu Xianglian whispered:
"Coincidentally, this matter is actually related to Baoyu who is sleeping soundly next door."

Jia Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and asked:
"Could it be that Baoyu caused some trouble?"

"You can say that!" Liu Xianglian said shyly:
"This matter really started because of Baoyu, to be precise, it was caused by Baoyu and Jiang Yuhan's personal relationship.

Jia Chen's eyes lit up slightly, and he asked:

"I've heard of this Jiang Yuhan. His nickname is Qiguan, and he is a famous actor in the opera troupe of Prince Zhongshun."

Liu Xianglian nodded and said:

"This is the man. Last month, he drank and listened to operas with Baoyu.

Baoyu saw that he was male and female, and his appearance was extremely beautiful, so he was tempted, and immediately gave him a jade ring fan pendant and a pine flower sweater.

Reciprocating courtesy, Jiang Yuhan generously gave Baoyu the red scarf given to him by the King of Beijing.

But not long ago, Jiang Yuhan couldn't bear the torture of King Zhongshun, so he escaped from the palace secretly. "

Jia Chen nodded slightly, realizing the seriousness of the situation, but Liu Xiangjie continued to say:
"Prince Zhongshun has many eyes and ears and is well informed.

He found out that Jiang Yuhan had a close personal relationship with Baoyu, so he sent someone to Rongguo Mansion to find Baoyu and asked about Jiang Yuhan's whereabouts.

Baoyu was cowardly and pampered since she was a child. After being coerced and lured by the other party, she had no choice but to obediently confess that Jiang Yuhan might be hiding in Red Sandalwood Fort.

After Lord Zhongshun learned about it, he immediately sent people to Red Sandalwood Castle to capture Jiang Yuhan.

Coincidentally, I happened to pass by Red Sandalwood Castle that day.

Jiang Yuhan and I can be regarded as close friends. Seeing that he was in trouble and about to be captured, we acted righteously and helped him escape. "

Jia Chen sighed:
"Brother Liu Shi is indeed a hero who sees injustice and draws his sword to help!"

Liu Xianglian sighed lightly and said:

"Brother Chen is overrated, I didn't think too much about it because of my brother's loyalty.

But I reflected afterwards and regretted being so impulsive.

I have already offended Prince Zhongshun because of this incident. In order to protect myself, I can only temporarily leave Shenjing City and go to other places to avoid the limelight. I will wait for three to five years before returning to Shenjing. "

Hearing this, Jia Chen sighed deeply. It seems that although this Liu Xianglian is serious, he is a hero who values ​​love and righteousness, and is indeed worthy of deep friendship.

Thinking of this, Jia Chen raised his eyebrows and asked:
"I don't know one thing, how did Jiang Yuhan know that Baoyu betrayed him?"

Liu Xianglian sighed a little dumbfounded:
"Although Baoyu is timid and fearful, he is also a shrewd person with a kind heart.

After being forced to confess that Jiang Yuhan was hiding in Red Sandalwood Castle, Baoyu was so anxious that he hurriedly ordered his youngest son, Mingyan, to rush to Red Sandalwood Castle and inform Jiang Yuhan to run away.

It's a pity that Mingyan didn't move fast enough, when he arrived, all the subordinates of Prince Zhongshun also arrived. "

Jia Chen said with emotion:
"Fortunately, Brother Liu passed by there and led the two of them out of the encirclement."

Liu Xianglian smiled bitterly and said:

"That's right! Baoyu asked Mingyan to tell Jiang Yuhan the truth about how he was forced to leave Red Sandalwood Castle, and asked Mingyan to convey his apology to Jiang Yuhan."

Jia Chen said:
"Baoyu can be regarded as affectionate and righteous, but he lacks responsibility and is a little timid and cowardly."

Liu Xianglian slightly nodded and said:

"Jiang Yuhan also understood Baoyu's temperament, knew that Baoyu's nature was pure, and immediately asked Mingyan to tell Baoyu that there was no need to blame himself, saying that he understood his involuntary behavior and did not blame him."

Jia Chen thought for a while, and said in relief:

"Brother Liu Shi, don't worry too much. Since the government has not yet sent someone to issue a sea arrest document, it means that Prince Zhongshun has not reported to the government yet."

Brother Liu Shixiong's eyes lit up, he nodded and said:
"Brother Chen is right! Brother Chen is still quick-witted and extremely intelligent. If you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have realized this."

Jia Chen continued to analyze:
"Prince Zhongshun is a masculine man, and has a habit of cutting off his sleeves. On the surface, Jiang Yuhan is an actor in his mansion, but in fact he is his male favorite.

In today's world, although the absurd and uninhibited eccentricity of Longyang's broken sleeve is not uncommon, it is not in accordance with the etiquette and insults the reputation.

Prince Zhongshun certainly didn't want to spread the word about it, so he didn't report it to the officials. "

Hearing this, Liu Xianglian's eyebrows stretched, she nodded and said with a smile:

"Brother Chen said so much! After listening to your incisive and incisive analysis, most of the doubts in my heart have dissipated."

Jia Chen thought for a while and reminded:

"Although Prince Zhongshun has not reported to the officials for the sake of face, he has raised a large number of family soldiers and generals, and he is very likely to send government soldiers to arrest you.

To be on the safe side, Liu Shixiong should still go far away to avoid his edge. "

Hearing this, Liu Xianglian nodded solemnly:

"It's really a hero who sees the same thing. Brother Chen and I want to go together."

Jia Chen took the opportunity to say:
"I have an idea. If Brother Liu doesn't mind it, I would like to invite Brother Liu to be the head of the bodyguard in my Chenwei Escort Bureau. He will lead the bodyguards, bodyguards, and passengers to escort a batch of goods to other places. This opportunity is to stay away from Shenjing and avoid misfortune.

Of course, this is just my suggestion, and Brother Liu Shixiong please make a decision after deliberation. "

Hearing this, Liu Xianglian cupped her hands without hesitation and said:

"Brother Chen is benevolent and righteous, and he is sincerely thinking about me. I will remember it in my heart and be grateful.

Since your Escort is short of manpower, I am very willing to be the head of the Escort and do my part. "

"It's so good! Let's work together to achieve a great cause!" Jia Chen was overjoyed. With Liu Xianglian joining him, it can be said to be like a tiger with wings added!
Liu Xianglian has high martial arts skills, is chivalrous and courageous, and honors righteousness over wealth, so she is the best choice to be the head of the bodyguard.

Although Liu Xianglian offended Prince Zhongshun, Prince Zhongshun has always focused on forming a party for personal gain, fighting for power and gain, and put almost all his energy on the temple. How can he have so much free time to pay attention to Liu Xianglian?
When Liu Xianglian left Shenjing City with his darts, hid for a while and then returned to Beijing, it is estimated that Prince Zhongshun had already forgotten about him.

The two exchanged cups and had a good time. Jia Chen asked where Liu Xianglian lived now, and said with a smile:
"When I rent a courtyard and use it as the residence of the Chenwei Escort, I will immediately go to your mansion to invite Brother Liu to take up his post."

"Okay!" Liu Shixiong generously agreed.

After chatting for a few more words, Jia Chen and Liu Xianglian went to the next door to wake Jia Baoyu up.

He was so drunk that Jia Chen had no choice but to join Liu Xianglian, holding his arms on one side and one on the other, and sent him back to Rongguo Mansion.

Looking at Liu Xianglian's handsome profile, Jia Chen thought to himself:
"Right now, Liu Xianglian doesn't know for the time being that I want to rely on the Escort Bureau to build a private army. Later, I still have to find a suitable opportunity to show my cards to him!
If he learned the truth, would he still be willing to serve me? "
