My Red Mansion Career

Chapter 25 Doubt
Looking at Jia Yuanchun, who was kneeling on the ground with a plump figure and dignified and beautiful appearance, Dai Quan nodded secretly in his heart.

He then asked: "Jia Yuanchun, before we come here, the Queen asked us to ask you, are you willing to serve the Queen in Fengzao Palace?"

"what!"

Hearing this, Baoqin on the side couldn't help but exclaimed. Then he woke up and quickly covered his mouth, but his eyes were still wide.

That was Fengzao Palace, the Queen's palace. Working under the hands of the kind and kind Queen would definitely be ten times a hundred times better than following the harsh and mean Wu Guifei.

As Jia Yuanchun's personal maid, Baoqin has followed her into the palace for ten years, and he knows best how much his eldest daughter has suffered and suffered for the Jia family.

Just like that Concubine Wu, wasn't she just jealous of her eldest daughter's beauty, knowledge and knowledge, so she saw the heavens making things difficult for her?

If it weren't for the protection of the plaque of Rongguo Mansion, Concubine Wu would not dare to be too presumptuous. She still doesn't know what kind of torture her eldest daughter would be.

But even so, in such a cold weather like now, I was ordered to lead people to clean the corridors and corridors. Isn't this punishment in disguise?

Now that I have such an opportunity to serve the Queen in Fengzao Palace, I would be a fool not to go.

Is Jia Yuanchun a fool?
of course not.

She suppressed the excitement in her heart and said softly: "I will obey the Queen's decree."

Dai Quan laughed twice and said, "In that case, you go back and clean up. Now you can go to Fengzao Palace with our family."

"Yes!"

Dai Quan's efficiency in doing things was still very fast. That night, Jia Yuanchun and Baoqin moved to Fengzao Palace under the envious eyes of many palace ladies.

At almost the same time, Jia Yu also led a third team of two hundred people to leave the camp overnight after dinner and headed towards Changping Mansion.

The bright moon hung high in the sky, and its cold moonlight shone on the snow-white ground, making the rows of figures particularly clear.

"Hurry up... hurry up... keep up..."

Deliberately suppressed voices kept ringing in the team.

Under the moonlight, a group of people were walking quickly on the official road. Perhaps because the speed was too fast, someone slipped and fell to the ground from time to time.

But even so, the leader still has no intention of slowing down.

And this group of people is none other than Jia Yu and the two hundred soldiers under his command.

At this time, all the soldiers of the third team were wrapped like rice dumplings. Even the hooves, calves, and stomachs of the more than ten pack horses in the team used to carry supplies were wrapped in thick cotton cloth to prevent frostbite.

Xie Youyuan, who had his head completely covered and only one pair of eyes exposed, followed Jia Yu pantingly and asked breathlessly.

"Captain Jia, didn't you say you would leave in three days? Why did you leave overnight?"

Jia Yu glanced at him and said, "With your stupid brain, it's useless to tell you too much, so you'd better stop asking."

"I……"

Xie Youyuan just felt a bit suffocated. If he really couldn't beat him, he would probably roll up his sleeves and argue with him.

Just this afternoon, after dinner, Jia Yu summoned all the soldiers of the third team and left the front camp in the name of patrol.

After twenty miles from the camp, Jia Yu stopped and announced to everyone that the real purpose of leaving the camp this time was not to patrol, but to go to Changping Mansion, eighty miles away, to suppress bandits.

All the soldiers were in an uproar for a while. Faced with everyone's confusion, Jia Yu didn't talk nonsense.He just pulled out the thick knife from his waist and swung it towards a big tree nearby. In the flash of cold light, the small tree as thick as a bowl had been cut in two.

I saw him spit out a cold sentence from his mouth: "Those who disobey military orders...die..."

Facing the shining blade and Jia Yu's cold gaze, all the officers and soldiers shut their mouths.

However, Jia Yu did not rely solely on brute force to suppress him, and later assured his soldiers.

The proceeds from the suppression of the bandits were divided into [-]% and the remaining [-]% were handed over to the court.

After hearing Jia Yu's assurance, the panicked hearts of the soldiers gradually calmed down.

Most of the soldiers these days have never studied. They only know a simple truth.

It is only natural that soldiers should eat food.

Since the officials agreed to pay the money, everything is easy. Anyway, what they eat is this bowl of decapitated rice.

However, marching at night is indeed very hard and dangerous, especially in such cold snow.

Fortunately, the guide Jia Yu hired at a great price was very capable. Although there were many bumps along the way, they still reached the area of ​​Changping Mansion before dawn.

In a small forest more than 30 miles east of Changping Mansion, Jia Yu, Xie Youyuan and Wu Yunchun were squatting on a back slope.

Because the weather was so cold, everyone's eyebrows were covered with a layer of snowflakes.

Xie Youyuan kept stamping his feet and said, "Damn it, Erlong Mountain is so big, where can we find those thieves?"

Jia Yu ignored Xie Youyuan and turned to look at Wu Yunchun, "Lao Wu, the bandits you mentioned are hiding in the Erlong Mountain area. Is this news accurate?"

"Of course accurate."

Wu Yunchun said in a positive tone: "Actually, many people know that the bandits are hiding in Erlong Mountain.

However, Erlong Mountain is hundreds of miles in circumference and the terrain is dangerous. This is one of the reasons why the officers and soldiers have been unsuccessful in many encirclement and suppression campaigns over the years.

Secondly...you know the reason. "

The guide also echoed: "Yes, sir, you don't know.

The year before last, the government had sent several officers and soldiers from other places to suppress the bandits, but for some unknown reason, as soon as the officers and soldiers from other places came, the bandits would hide in the mountains.

Officials and soldiers from other places also went into the mountains to hunt, but each time they were ambushed by the bandits, resulting in heavy casualties. After that, no soldiers came again. "

Jia Yu was not worried about this, and just said relaxedly: "Don't worry, everyone. As long as we can be sure that the bandits are hiding in this mountainous area, leave the rest to me."

Wu Yunchun and Xie Youyuan looked at each other and saw the helpless look in each other's eyes.

In their view, Erlong Mountain, which is hundreds of miles in radius, not only has a dangerous terrain, but also has a wide range.

It is not easy to find the bandits hiding in the mountains with their two hundred people. Moreover, the weather is so cold. If they stay for a few more days, the bandits will not be found, and they will freeze to death in this barren mountain.

Jia Yu looked back at the soldiers behind him who were shivering from the cold. He also knew in his heart that if the whereabouts of the bandits could not be found as soon as possible, let alone suppressing the bandits, this group of soldiers who had never suffered so much might be killed. A moment of collapse.

He took a deep breath and ordered: "Wu Yunchun, Xie Youyuan, please let the soldiers rest for two hours and have something to eat before setting off in the afternoon."
