Red Mansion Royal Cat

Chapter 139 All Fears Come From Insufficient Firepower
The narrow canal channel of Linhe Chaoguan is really a perfect place to ambush. The South China Sea Navy fleet, caught between two flames, has no place to hide.

The flames at both ends gradually spread to the middle, the artillery on both sides of the strait poured shells like money, and a large number of bows and crossbows made up for the firepower network...

"Tsk tsk, sure enough, all the fear stems from the lack of firepower. The South China Sea Navy, that's all!"

Jia Cong wanted to fire the cannon himself, but Jia Shisan didn't give him this chance at all. He grabbed the little fat man by the back of his neck and let him kick his short legs without letting him go.

What are you kidding?If the artillery fires red and explodes, he, a retainer of the Jia family, should commit suicide and apologize.

Round after round of artillery roared, round after round of crossbow bolts covered, for a full two quarters of an hour, within a three-mile radius of Linhe Chaoguan, everyone could smell the smell of burning oil and the stench of burnt meat .

The roaring artillery exploded, making the people hiding in the house tremble. How could the cannon be fired for so long in peacetime?

Shen Lang looked at the scene in the river, and then at Jia Cong who was screaming, and couldn't help but want to stay away from this little magic star.

However, he was still thinking about important matters, and moved to Jia Cong's side: "I think it's almost the same, did you stop the shelling, cover up and kill, and take down the Huo family and his party?"

"Huh? The old general still wants to capture him alive?"

No wonder Shen Lang is only a third-rank military general at such an age, who is not a second-rank official and nobility to fish for food with him?No wink!

Jia Cong shook his head: "Don't, bring the Huo family to the capital, won't that cause trouble for the saint and His Majesty?"

Shen Lang asked suspiciously: "How to say?"

Jia Cong asked back: "Bring the Huo family back to the capital, what does the old general think the saint and His Majesty should do?"

"Do you even need to ask? Kill!"

Shen Lang's answer was not what Jia Cong expected, he smiled wryly and shook his head: "I can't kill it! The four kings with different surnames in the east, west, north and south can be said to be all prosperous and all damaged. They will try their best to save the lives of the Huo family. The good time has passed, and now there is a faint trend of instability in the Quartet, and the palace now seeks stability."

Boom boom boom...

The artillery was still roaring, Jia Cong looked at the place where the fire was concentrated in the river with mocking eyes, and said quietly: "Let us make the most suitable decision for the second saint, and let the Huo family stay here!"

……

After finding out the real situation of the bandits in Gyeonggi, the four gates of the capital were opened wide, and teams of elite forbidden troops quickly rushed to the Quartet and began a large-scale bandit suppression operation.

This time, the sudden banditry swollen the faces of the palace, the cabinet center, and the generals of the Beijing camp. Every civil and military official related to it suffocated. No fewer than five.

Among them, Jia Jing, who had no official title, was appointed by Emperor Liu Heng as a temporary commander of the Dragon Guards, and he led three thousand Dragon Guards straight to the Fahua Temple in the east of the city.

When Jia Jing led the army to the vicinity of Fahua Temple, more than 1000 rebels mixed with Japanese pirates, water bandits, and refugees were storming the Fahua Temple in the high-walled compound.

The gate of the temple has been blown into pieces by the two French cannons of this group of water bandits. If Jia Shiyi hadn't taken precautions and moved a large amount of stone and wood to block the door, the bandits would have rushed into the temple long ago. up.

"Wow wow!"

"Japanese pirates?"

Jia Jiu immediately raised his knife and shouted, "Brothers, follow me!"

Under the leadership of Jia Jiu, the iron cavalry composed of fifty Jia family soldiers charged straight into the bandit army. On the place where the black flag of Hydra was embroidered, there were dozens of dwarfs commanding loudly. fighting.

"kill!"

The advantages of the cavalry are vividly displayed on this vast and flat land of Gyeonggi. The tall horses wear light armor in front of them, and a single collision can knock away the bandits who want to resist, and they are cut through by the cavalry squad in an instant.

At the end of the path paved with blood, Jia Jiu shouted, "Die!"

With a wave of the long knife in his hand, under the black flag of the Hydra, the dwarf man wearing an ugly mask first broke up, and a jet of blood flew into the sky.

When Jia Eryi passed by behind him, a flying horse came to fish, and lifted the man's head: "The thief is dead, the thief is dead, the thief is dead!"

Jia Jiu turned around and swung the knife again, and the Hydra black flag fell to the ground in an instant!

As a result, the already disorganized bandits became even more flustered, and there were many people who wanted to escape in all directions, but it was a pity that the Dragon Guards did not give them a chance to escape.

"Jing Gong, the soldiers in your family are interesting, shouldn't it be that the leader of the bandit is dead, so he will not kill him? The second half of the sentence is not mentioned at all!"

Cao Jiugong, who came with the army, clicked his tongue a few times and laughed.

Jia Jing replied leisurely: "They've all rebelled, what are you still keeping these scumbags for? Chinese New Year?"

Surrender?When he went to the grassland to fight, he never said these two words again!

The soldiers of Jia's family raised the head of the bandit leader high, and rushed back and forth in the camp of the bandits with the bloody head. At the cost of zero casualties, the bandits' formation was smashed to pieces.

The well-equipped Dragon Guards completely wiped out the bandits around Fahua Temple in less than half an hour, not even keeping a single prisoner.

In response to Jia Jing's words, they all rebelled, so why recruit these scum?Kill it clean!

When the troops of Jia Jing and Cao Jiu came to the gate of Fahua Temple, Jia Shishi had already called for people to remove the debris blocking the gate, and grinned innocently: "Old patriarch, I didn't expect you to come in person." Brother Nine, Lang 21, the charge just now was really exciting, but it’s a pity that I’m not in the team..."

"Hahaha……"

Jia Jing, who is usually unsmiling, laughed loudly, slapped Jia Shishi on the shoulder several times, and praised: "You did a good job. You used three hundred miscellaneous soldiers to block the thieves' attacks several times. General!"

With such a compliment from Jia Jing, Jia Shixi almost grinned behind his ears, giggling.

At this time, Xia Lingxing, who had been hiding in the Daxiong Palace, and other noble relatives in Beijing came out one after another. The smell of blood in the air made many people who had not been killed want to vomit.

But what was the elegant Xia Lingxing's face, he even took a deep breath and sighed: "That's the smell of the Tatar tent in Shuangquanhai back then..."

"Elder Xia still remembers this, next time I go to Tatar Khan Tent, Elder Xia must go with me!"

Jia Jing bowed and said: "Students pay homage to Master Xia!"

Xia Lingxing stepped forward to help Jia Jing up, and smiled: "Your boy... you can no longer be called a boy. Zhigong (I named Jia Jing, named Fei~), how is the situation in Beijing? The Huo family can block it ?”

"When the students came, there was no news yet. However, His Majesty has ordered the capital and Shandong to be on alert, and all the military guards in the capital are dispatched. The Huo family must not be allowed to escape!"

The exchange between the two caused the relatives and nobles from various families in the back to discuss. Some people couldn't help but asked: "Xia Lao, Jing Gong, the Huo family? Is it the king of Nan'an... Is it the Huo family of the Marquis of Nanping? The Huo family What's wrong?"

Cao Jiugong, who was standing silently at the side, said leisurely: "Huo An bewitched Qiu Tong, commander of the Zuo Tunwei in Yingzhou, to rebel, and colluded with the White Lotus Sect and Japanese pirates to disrupt the capital, so as to prepare the Huo family to escape from the capital. The Huo family is rebelling!"

boom!
This is absolutely shocking news. Among these noble relatives, several of them have a good relationship with the Huo family for generations, and one family even married the daughter of the Huo family...

hiss!Another headache.

In addition to the destruction of the gate of Fahua Temple and the burning of a few not-so-important houses, not even a monk or novice was injured.

On the contrary, more than [-] young men who were conscripted to avoid disaster in the temple and the personal guards from various houses died in battle, and nearly a hundred were injured.

One of Jia's guards was shot in the shoulder by the enemy's bow and arrow, and the rest were safe and sound. The most serious thing was that they fought for a long time and used too much force.

Daiyu and two maidservants were sent to the carriage, and rushed to the capital with the nobles in the temple under the protection of the dragon guards, while Jia Jing rushed to Tongzhou with hundreds of elite cavalry.

……

The four gates of the capital finally opened after noon, and when Daiyu returned to Rongguo Mansion, several little sisters were crying and laughing while hugging her, especially Xichun, who hugged Daiyu tightly like an octopus. Let go.

After finally coaxing Xiao Xichun, after a brief wash, Daiyu rushed to Rongxi Hall to meet Jiamu.

This time, Mother Jia was indeed frightened. She put aside the calculations of the Lin family in her heart. After all, it was her granddaughter. Lin Ruhai had obviously fallen into the eyes of the emperor. Something happened in Beijing.

Holding Daiyu in her arms and crying for a while, Mother Jia wiped the tears from her eyes with a silk handkerchief, and cursed, "It's all to blame for that little demon star, who insisted on taking you outside the city to offer incense... By the way, What about others? Have you forgotten all the etiquette and rules? You don’t even know to come to visit my grandmother when you go home?"

Daiyu secretly sighed in her heart that brother Cong was innocent of the blame, obviously the old lady appointed Jia Cong to protect her for the incense offering...

"Grandmother, Brother Cong was ordered to go to Tongzhou, but there is no news yet."

Hearing Daiyu's answer, Mother Jia froze for a moment, then sneered and said, "He's a child, he's in such a mess outside, what fate does he have? Whose fate? Are you not afraid to put your life in it?"

Jiamu's words made Daiyu feel extremely harsh, and the original smile on her face gradually disappeared, and she said seriously: "When I was taking refuge in Fahua Temple, Mrs. Xia, the former Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, was in charge of the temple's defense. Uncle Eleven was ordered to command the battle. Cong My brother was ordered to rush to Tongzhou overnight, contact the Tongzhou garrison, and stop the Huo family who wanted to flee to the coast of the South China Sea!"

"Summer saving trip? It turned out to be him..."

Just after Jia's mother finished speaking, she suddenly stood up and said in horror, "What did you say? The Huo family is fleeing to Nanhai Yanzi? The Huo family of Nan'an Palace?"

Seeing Jia Mu react so strongly, Daiyu was a little hard to understand.

She nodded, and asked suspiciously: "It was the Huo family of the original Nan'an royal residence. This time the chaos in Gyeonggi was caused by Huo An bewitching Qiu Tong from Zuo Tunwei in Yingzhou to rebel, colluding with the White Lotus Sect and Japanese pirates to disrupt Gyeonggi, so as to attract the court. attention, in order to cope with the Huo family's escape. Grandma, you are..."

"Brother Cong went to Tongzhou to contact soldiers and horses, intending to stop the Huo family?"

After receiving the exact answer, Mother Jia slumped on the chair and murmured, "I hope Brother Cong doesn't kill me, otherwise our family will be extinct from the founding family!"
