Chapter 43: The Direction of the Wind
For a while, Jia Zhen ordered the maid to bring some pastries and fruits, reorganize the cups, and the two sat down.
Jia Zhen smiled: "Brother think this cup of righteous wine tonight is how reliable it is?"
Jia Lian thought for a while and said: "Except for the two of us, we are flesh and blood, needless to say, the chief official has never spied on me with his eyes, but he is afraid that he will not believe it." ”
"That's right!" Jia Zhen said, pouring Jia Lian another glass of wine.
"It turns out that my brother is also acting on the spot, but if there is really chaos in the future, what should we do?"
"It's easy to do! Let's take their money and cultivate our own strength, what's the harm? The money was also obtained, and the team secretly stood up. As for the future, it depends on the direction of the wind. ”
When Jia Lian heard this, he also laughed and said, "That's right. In the future, the four kings are equal, and it is not certain who will die and who will live. It's just that this governor's official Li Chongde found you and dragged me in?"
Jia Zhen said mysteriously: "This is a long story. A few days ago, Princess Dongping celebrated her birthday, and originally only a few acquaintances went in previous years, but this year she invited King Beijing to go. In the palace of the king of Dongping, the king of Beijing was very tolerant, and was willing to flatter the king of Dongping as his father, and said that he was willing to be the pawn of the king of Dongping. I think this King of Beijing is not simple on this point alone, he is indeed a hero, but I am afraid that he will definitely win the throne in the future. And I looked at it, the king of Dongping was old and old, and the princess was in charge of many things, and she had the momentum of interfering in the internal affairs of the palace, and what was even more mysterious was that the princess of Dongping looked at King Beijing a little unusual. ”
"Are you saying that Princess Dongping and King Beijing have such a burden?"
Jia Zhen hurriedly shushed and said, "Don't talk nonsense about this! If it spreads, we will die in the future, and there will be no place to bury us! ”
Jia Lian said: "I know that my brother is secretly befriending the Dongping Palace, according to my brother's words, it is the Princess of Dongping who wants you to deliberately approach the King of Beijing, and at the critical moment, you can fight back." ”
"Not really. That night, King Beijing saw that I was also there, and I avoided it early, but I didn't have a place to hide, so I had to hold on. You also know that our Jiafu has always worn the same pants as the Beijing Palace, and what will they think when they see me in the Dongping Palace? After I came back, I was worried about myself, but I didn't expect that Lao Li, the official of the Beijing Palace, took the initiative to come to the door, and when he opened his mouth, he spoke bluntly and told me about the great cause of the common cause. How dare I say half a word. In order to play the show seriously, I had to pull you in. Otherwise, how to calm his heart. ”
"I see! This chief official dares to speak out, but he has mastered the details of us, and he is not afraid that we will not agree!"
Jia Zhen sighed and said: "Speaking of our details, I can't say how many things we have, and King Beijing is not a fuel-efficient lamp, but I am afraid that everyone knows that if he wants to get us, it is not a matter of words." Although it is said that there is a concubine in the palace in our two mansions now, there are many things that cannot be said. This governor dared to get straight to the point, because he had already expected that we would not dare to disobey, and the situation was indeed like this. The mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, and soon the sky will change. And we, standing on the wrong team is death, not standing in line is even more death, it is better to use their silver to cultivate their own power, no matter who has the upper hand in the future, they dare not underestimate us, we are all fragrant and sweet!"
"Big brother is right. This is indeed a pressing situation, and we have to take a risk. It's just that I can't see through this King of Beijing more and more, especially he seems to be particularly interested in Lin Xiaoxiao and Miaoyu. Now that this situation is like this, is there some shocking secret hidden behind these two people? ”
Jia Zhen listened and said, "This is also where I can't guess." Let's leave that alone. This troubled world is coming, as long as we are accurate in the direction of the wind, we can't be wrong. ”
The two talked for most of the day, and Fang dispersed.
The next day, Jia Zhen instructed Jia Rong to take people to the seventy-two large and small Zhuangzi in Jiafu to arrange the arrangement. King Beijing had already placed more than 200 dead soldiers in it, and became the deputy head of the 72 Zhuangzi in Jiafu, responsible for the inspection and protection of the Zhuangzi.
For a time, the seventy-two large and small Zhuangzi in Jiafu were heavily guarded, farming during the day, and secretly practicing at night, and there were a lot of knives and guns, and they became the cottage where the king of Beijing gathered to gather outlaws and broke down to work for them.
Time flies in a blink of an eye, and it is two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Lin Xiaoxiao has been bored for several days, and she can't sleep well at night, but during the day, she is groggy again, until the next night, Fang gradually fell asleep, but she heard Xi'er come in and said: "Someone from Miaoyu in Lucui Nunnery said, please come over quickly." ”
Lin Xiaoxiao had no choice but to put on a robe and said, "What did you say?"
Xi'er said: "I didn't say anything, I just said that I asked the layman to come over quickly, and I have something to discuss." ”
Lin Xiaoxiao had to take the dust and go out.
Xi'er and Huan'er hurriedly followed.
Lin Xiaoxiao said: "You two stay in the house, you don't have to follow, I don't have wings, I can't fly out of this grand view garden." ”
Xi'er and Huan'er blushed, so they had to stand still, but they watched Lin Xiaoxiao walk away, and Fang Yuan followed behind.
Xi'er said: "The prince explained, let us not leave an inch, I see that these days Xiaoxiao Jushi seems to have something on his mind, and he and that Miaoyu meet every once in a while, and I don't know what they are talking about, but I am afraid that there is a conspiracy and it is undecided." ”
Huan'er said: "Let's follow in quietly, if there is a situation, we have to go back to the palace to report it quickly." Now that the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, the prince said that he should beware of changes in the past few days, but he doesn't know what it is. ”
Xi'er said: "If the matter is urgent, we have the waist card of the palace, and the people in this mansion will not dare not listen." ”
The two followed Lin Xiaoxiao all the way to the woods outside the Lucui Nunnery, and saw Lin Xiaoxiao knock on the door, and went in in a flash.
The twilight gradually shrouded in, and suddenly there were bursts of jackdaws, and the autumn wind was bleak, and dark clouds rose in the sky, and it was about to rain.
Xi'er said: "You wait here, I will sneak in to see, if you are found, you will knock on the door of the nunnery, and I will take the opportunity to get out." ”
Huan'er said: "This Lucui Nunnery is not the Longtan Tiger's Den, can it be used like this?" ”
Xi'er said: "What do you know, it's not time for us to tear our faces with her now, if they find out that we are secretly spying on them, they can justifiably drive us away, how can we explain to the prince." ”
Huan'er nodded, but Xi'er took an arrow step earlier, jumped onto the wall of the hermitage, and jumped into the hermitage in a flash.
Lin Xiaoxiao was in Miaoyu's meditation room at this time, and the two of them were surrounding a small stove and were drinking tea by themselves.
Miaoyu said: "Now that I think about it, all this is really incredible, back then my master told me a lot of things about the Sun Chasing Clan and the Moon Worship Clan, I always thought it was a legend, but I didn't expect that after so many years, these things turned out to be true." Moreover, it has even spread here. ”
Lin Xiao smiled and sighed: "If it weren't for me, maybe this place would really become a 'Red Mansion World' that will never be disturbed by the outside world." It's just that now that it's come to this, I'm thinking, if we really help Yun Feiyang, I don't know if it's right or wrong. ”
"If he becomes another Li Chao, or a tyrant, we will have to fight to the death. I believe that in the dark, everything has its own providence. ”
"In this materialistic world, there is such a mysterious 'Red Mansion World', although it is unbelievable, but if the people here are poor and happy, rich in food and clothing, even if they never contact the outside world, what is the harm. ”
