Chapter 197 Reinforcements (6,000 chapters asking for monthly tickets)
Jia She was stamping his feet.
Keep stamping your feet.
Why haven't the soldiers come yet? Or has something happened in the capital, and someone is holding them back and wants the whole Dongfu family dead? Jia She felt even colder.
He was shivering from the cold.
That year, the prince burned himself to death and took his family with him. Then there was great turmoil in the court, people were crowded in the market every day, and people were exiled one after another.
His in-laws' family all met with misfortune, so Lian'er no longer had his maternal grandparents. He thought this was tragic enough, but he didn't expect that his uncle and father died of illness one after another, and the title of East Palace was inherited by his eldest uncle, bypassing his eldest cousin, and given to Zhen'er.
That year...it was so cold!
Just like now.
Jia She couldn't help but shiver again.
"Master, Master, there are soldiers. The soldiers are coming."
When he saw it from a distance, he shouted anxiously.
Jia She was startled and turned around hurriedly to greet him, but his foot slipped and he fell to the ground with a bang.
The servants came hurriedly to help him, but Jia She ignored the pain and got up again, looking at the officers and soldiers who were rushing over.
But it would have been better if he hadn’t seen it. Once he saw it... his heart sank.
There seemed to be only one team coming.
No more than thirty people.
What can such a small number of people do? Although he thought so in his heart, Jia She sniffed and still tried his best to meet them.
No matter how much, it's always a help when it comes.
Otherwise, he would be scared to stop here.
"Master Jia!"
Fang Dayou, the squad leader of the Five Cities Army, was just about to ask for details when he heard the earth shaking. It seemed that dozens of horses were coming this way.
This this?
Thinking of Mrs. Shen being attacked here, they couldn't help but become nervous.
Jia She was also nervous. He was afraid! He was afraid that after those bad guys dealt with his eldest brother's family, they would also deal with him.
If that were to happen, then at home... there would be no one left who could control my second brother.
Lian'er is very stupid. The second brother coaxes him like a child. It may take less than three days to win him over.
Mother……
His mother doted on him.
Without the eldest brother and his wife, and without them and their spouses, I'm afraid the entire Jia family will become the second brother's world.
Thinking of this, Jia She's heart...
"Who is coming?"
As they got closer, they seemed to be wearing the standard military uniform of the border town, but as part of his duty, Fang Dayou still held up the token and asked routine questions.
I really have to ask, Madam Shen is a first-rank imperial concubine.
Everyone who passes by here today, they have to check it out.
"Thirteen officers of the Ningxia Guard came to Beijing to receive titles."
The man who spoke also raised his ID card.
But Ningxia Wei...? Jia She suddenly thought of something and shouted, "Is Lan Zhi here?"
His voice was trembling with excitement, "I am Jia She, I am your uncle!"
Jia She?
Lan Zhi, who was riding a horse, couldn't help but pull the horse.
She has no feelings for her uncle.
Because he is truly an incompetent person.
Although he inherited the title, he was driven out of Rong Xi Tang and moved to the stables by the second branch of the family.
Even though my uncle seemed to be back on his feet in recent communications, that was not entirely due to his own abilities.
Lan Zhi doesn't want to recognize the Rongguo Mansion.
If she really admits it and avenges her parents, who can her uncle help?
With the old lady around, even if he disliked his second brother, he would definitely not stand on her side.
In this case, let it be! During this period, she could pay double the price for any medicinal herbs sent by the people in Rongguo Mansion, just as if she were buying them.
Lan Zhi kicked the horse's belly and was about to run away from these people, when Jia She's crying voice rang out again, "Lan Zhi, Lan Zhi, help me, your aunt and others in Ningguo Mansion were attacked. Are you there? Lan Zhi..."
"Oh~"
Lan Zhi reined in his horse fiercely, "My aunt from the East Mansion was attacked? Where?"
When she turned to look at the group of people, she suddenly realized that the two people lying on the road in front of her might be corpses.
"Yes, yes, in front."
Jia She's heart suddenly came back to life.
There are two grandfathers in his family because both ancestors were born with great strength.
It’s just that their descendants are not good, they are just ordinary people.
But Lanzhi is different.
According to her own words, she has extraordinary strength.
She should be like her great-grandfather.
"Everyone stop."
Lan Zhi immediately stopped everyone and rode to Jia She's side, "Uncle, where are you?"
"At Taixuan Temple. They went to Taixuan Temple."
Jia She was excited, "I can ride a horse, can I lead the way for you?"
He was finally of some use.
Jia She was fed up with this feeling of powerless waiting.
And with the help of experienced warriors like Lan Zhi, his confidence increased greatly.
"So what are you waiting for? Get on the horse!"
After telling his uncle, Lan Zhi quickly looked at the people from the Wucheng Military Department, "You are here to rescue people, right? Then anyone who can ride a horse, come with us."
The Jia family still has nine horses here. One more person means more fighting power.
“Yes, yes, yes!”
Jia She looked at Fang Dayou, "Master Fang, let's go together!"
“…Get on the horse!”
Fang Dayou also breathed a sigh of relief.
Only when there are more people can we be more confident.
A few brothers quickly came out of the team, "The rest of you, keep an eye on this place and wait for reinforcements."
If a first-rank imperial official is attacked, someone from Shuntian Prefecture will definitely come.
Even Lord Zhu Si would have been alarmed and is on his way here.
"Master, Lanzhi..."
Xing stuck her head out of the car and said, "Be careful!"
It was warm in her car, but Lanzhi was a girl...
Xing took off her thick fur cape and stretched out her hand eagerly, "Lanzhi, I'm your aunt, be good, put this on too."
Lan Zhi: “…”
What to do?
Since my uncle has acknowledged it, my aunt cannot deny it either.
She rode over quickly, "Thank you, aunt."
“Hey~”
Xing was deeply moved.
This niece is a female general.
She didn't recognize the master at first, but as soon as she called him, she recognized him.
"Be careful!"
This family can't be missing any one of them! She looked at the group of people heading to Taixuan Temple and couldn't help but sigh.
I hope it will be in time, I definitely will be in time.
Xing prayed in her heart.
…
Capital city, Ningguo Mansion.
Although Rong Ge'er is not yet an adult, his grandfather, grandmother and father are outside the city, the three closest people in his life.
He had just finished school when he received the news.
There was no time to panic, so Jiao Da quickly gathered the guards at home and the reserve guards.
He hurried to the backyard and said, "Mother, please take my aunt to the West Mansion for a while."
"No, I'm right here at home."
Yu's heart was in turmoil. "I want to see if those people dare to kill me in broad daylight. If they really come to my house, I will admire them."
By then, they won't have to sue themselves, and the emperor, the retired emperor, and all the civil and military officials in the court will not be able to agree to it.
They also have to worry about being killed at home one day.
"Rong'er, you can go without any worries. I have given Yue'er to your third aunt to take care of."
Third aunt Jia Jin has a good relationship with her mother-in-law and is a decent person. By leaving little Yue'er with her, she and Rong'er have no worries.
"Just remember, we're waiting for you to come back."
Compared to the bustling West Mansion, they...
Yu was very miserable as their family was small.
"If they don't come back, you... must come back too."
"Um!"
Rong Ge'er knelt down and kowtowed, "Take care, mother. Your son will surely come back safely."
If anyone dares to hurt his family, as long as they breathe a breath..., he will take revenge.
Now that the Ningguo Mansion has taken action, the Rongguo Mansion will certainly not just sit there and wait.
Although their grandmother and aunt were in the palace, they should have gone to see them and taken them home, but Jia Zhu and Jia Lian were too busy to do so.
Now that the life and death of the eldest aunt in the East Mansion is uncertain, they have to take care of her first.
"Why is there still a carriage?"
Jia Zhu asked Jia Lian, who also rode a horse but brought two carriages, "Who's in there?"
Bringing female relatives over at this time would not be helping but would only cause trouble.
"No one, empty."
Jia Lian said, "I'm afraid there will be some casualties on my aunt's side. If you have a car, you will feel better when you come back."
Jia Zhu: “…”
Lian's second brother, who entered the court, was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Jia Zhu was very moved, "Well done, let's catch up with Rong'er quickly, he is still young, we can't let him freeze to death."
The lives of my uncle, my aunt, and Brother Zhen are uncertain, so nothing can happen to Brother Rong.
"We can accompany you, persuade you... never mind."
Jia Lian said, "He must be in great agony right now. It's better to have a goal on horseback than to have random thoughts in the carriage."
This? Jia Zhu stopped talking.
The brothers caught up with Rong Ge'er and made sure that he was dressed warmly, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Rong Ge'er certainly wouldn't let himself get sick.
Their family is already in this state, and if he gets sick again... wouldn't that be just what the person behind the scenes wants?
This is something Rong Ge'er can't tolerate.
When the Jia family's large group of people were heading out of the city, everyone in the capital who was more informed knew that something had happened.
When Concubine Nan'an heard the news the housekeeper had inquired about, her brows unconsciously furrowed.
She was delighted to see the assassination of Shen from Ningguo Mansion.
But if the person behind the attack is targeting the entire Ningguo Mansion... then the capital city will probably be in panic for a while.
The emperor's methods are becoming more and more sophisticated. If anything goes wrong with their Nan'an Palace, no one will speak for them.
Alas~ Her son was not very capable, and not only the emperor was dissatisfied, but the ministers in the court were also increasingly dissatisfied.
But if I really want to hand over the power...
Just look at the Ningguo Mansion now to know what they will be like in the future.
"Go and ask around."
Concubine Nan'an sighed in her heart and said, "How is the situation of Shi from Rongguo Mansion entering the palace?"
That old lady is Jia Daishan’s widow.
The emperor will definitely take care of him for Jia Daishan's sake.
The Concubine Nan'an was very conflicted.
She disliked Shen and hoped for her death, but she couldn't help but admire her. She was able to get up after falling to the ground for several years and built up the rotten Jia family again.
In the whole capital, not to mention women, even men, there are few who can do what she does.
"Also, tell our people to pay full attention to this matter, and to help the Jia family if they can."
"Ah?" The housekeeper was puzzled.
"When the lips and teeth are gone, they are interdependent!"
They are all from military families.
One way for the Jia family to give up everything and try to find another way to ensure the safety of their descendants is to do so.
One option is for their family to work hard to hold on to military power.
The Jia family is gambling on the royal conscience.
The Emperor and the Retired Emperor have consciences, but the other princes do not, so they can only bear it.
Compared with the Jia family, Concubine Nan'an felt that their family's path was better.
With the military power in his hands, no matter how crazy the Prince of Jin is, he cannot be won over, and he dare not act so wildly and openly.
"And if the Jia family is willing to say a few words on the prince's side, Wang Ziteng... won't be able to cause any big trouble."
The real heads of the Jia family are Shi and Shen, and neither of them is stupid.
I really have to thank their family for their kindness...
There will definitely be retribution from Jia Lian.
On the contrary, as the leader of the Yu generation of the Jia family, could he allow others to deal with the Jia family? If there were any clues, Jia Lian would not be able to do it himself, but he would use the armory department to hint at something casually... It would be incredible.
According to Concubine Nan'an, Prince Jin has really been spoiled.
Concubine Zhen herself was extremely intelligent, but unfortunately, her son was spoiled.
At this time, Prince Jin, who was considered to be a spoiled child by knowledgeable people, was listening to a little tune with his eyes closed.
Looking back on everything, the Jia family, especially the Ningguo Mansion, is really his nemesis and the emperor's lucky star.
If I keep them any longer, I won’t be able to enjoy my meals or sleep.
So what if someone guessed that he was the one who did it?
Is there any evidence?
The old man is still here.
The old man also relied on him to put pressure on the emperor in the court.
Oh~The King of Jin is so hateful.
He had been so close to the throne, so close.
Why are they all holding him back?
Both are descendants of the dragon and the phoenix.
Why? She keeps saying that she loves him the most, but what is the truth? Bullshit!
Since they don't care about him, why should he care about them?
Prince Jin listened to the music and beat the rhythm.
At this moment, the housekeeper came in hurriedly, "Your Highness, it's not good. All the doctors in the Imperial Hospital have gone to Shoukang Palace."
What? King Jin's heart skipped a beat. "What's going on?"
“It’s not clear yet.”
The housekeeper shook his head, "But it certainly won't be because of Shi from Rongguo Mansion."
Shi entered the palace and asked the emperor for help.
Then the imperial physician was called and said that Shi had fainted.
But now, all the doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau have been summoned to Shoukang Palace.
In this case, it can only be that the emperor has something wrong.
"Your Majesty, do you want to go to the palace?"
This? Prince Jin did not move immediately, "Let's see how Prince Cheng and the others act."
If they all entered the palace, he would naturally have to enter as well.
But if they hadn’t entered the palace…
Prince Jin knew how suspicious his father was.
He doesn't want to be the first one to stand out.
"Also, send a nanny to the palace to give something to the Concubine Dowager."
His mother will help him find out about the situation on his father's side.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
The housekeeper left in a hurry.
But at this time, the emperor didn't want to see Concubine Zhen at all.
Especially the way she looked like she was particularly concerned about the emperor made him feel... disgusted.
"Come here, ask Concubine Zhen to return to the palace to pray for the emperor."
The emperor's voice was particularly cold. "From now on, without the order of the Supreme Emperor, you are not allowed to leave the small Buddhist temple."
“…Toffee!”
Dai Quan saw the emperor's gaze and bowed, making a gesture of invitation, "Please come in!"
Concubine Zhen: “…”
Her lips moved slightly, but no one in the hall gave her a chance.
No one spoke up for her.
she……
She sobbed and cried, "I pray for the emperor, emperor, you must get better!"
After kowtowed to the emperor, Concubine Zhen wiped her tears and left in a hurry.
At this time, she was passing by the side hall and happened to see Lady Jia and Jia Min.
The two of them looked at her coldly, she...
Concubine Zhen turned her face away and left quickly.
"Mother~"
Jia Min was very worried.
"Nothing!"
The old lady patted her daughter's hand and felt a little relieved.
The emperor was so angry at the Prince of Jin that he fainted.
It has nothing to do with them.
Besides, the emperor...may also prefer the current situation.
The old lady is not worried about the emperor.
She was worried about the three people outside in the heavy snow whose lives were in danger.
Jia Min was also worried and she wanted to leave the palace.
She wanted to know how things were going at home.
"I know." She whispered, "Looking at Concubine Zhen's appearance, she must have been scolded."
But after being trained, it’s still too early for death.
"I'm not worried about here, I'm worried about home."
At this time, Eunuch Liu came out from the main hall, "Is the old lady feeling better? The emperor said that if you feel better, you should go home and rest first. Lord Zhu from the Five Cities Military Department has already gone to Madam Shen's place in person."
"Better."
Grandmother Jia bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. I am very grateful. We will go back now and wait for good news from Master Zhu!"
She originally wanted to say that she would go back and pray to the Buddha to bless the emperor to be safe and sound, but when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back.
Eunuch Liu is the emperor's personal eunuch.
It is better to have less things to do than more.
…
On this side, the man in black found that the whip was mixed with steel wire. He knew that the knife could not save him. He dropped the knife and tried hard to grab the whip with his hands to win back a chance of life. However, he didn't expect that the other party shook the whip, which made it tighter.
He kept struggling in the snow, wanting to call his companions to come and rescue him, but his neck was strangled and it was difficult to breathe, so how could he shout? Shen Ning loaded the musket and found that the man's legs kept scraping in the snow, and he was getting weaker and weaker, so he was reluctant to waste the bullets here.
It's not realistic to let her go to the rescue site alone.
Shen Ning ran over quickly and picked up the man's knife. Under the other person's bulging gaze, she felt scared and turned her hand, handing the knife to Wen Peilan very willingly.
No~Wen Peilan won’t be polite.
The moment he took the knife, he wiped his neck.
Finally, she had killed someone, right? "Madam, follow me."
There were nine people on the other side, and it seemed that everyone on the carriage was injured.
Uncle Zhen was probably in the car too.
His life and death...
Wen Peilan was also worried about their wives.
After all, he is my only son.
Wen Peilan held a knife in one hand and a whip in the other.
He took Shen Ning directly to the carriage.
At this time, the six men in black who were besieging the carriage did not expect that their three brothers were unable to do anything with the two women.
If they had been given a little more time and worked harder, they would have been able to drag Jia Zhen out of the car, but now...
The leading man in black was very angry.
If we divide the people again, today's mission will be a failure.
But if we don't stop them... and let them join forces with the remnants of the defeated troops on the carriage side, they will be able to hold out for a long time.
What they lack most is time.
There may be soldiers coming here at this moment.
"Huzi, you go ahead."
He said to his black bear-like brother beside him: "Capture them, and they will be yours."
"It's settled then."
Hu Zi, like a black bear, turned around quickly.
Jia Zhen, who was shot in the shoulder in the carriage, knew that his mother was coming when he heard the gunshot.
Now that tiger...
He gnashed his teeth in hatred.
Doctor Bai tried to remove the arrow for him several times but failed. But now...
"Ah~~~ Bastard!"
Jia Zhen grabbed the broken arrow and pulled it out violently.
Doctor Bai was quick to squeeze the blood, causing it to spurt out a few drops of blood, and then poured medicine onto his shoulder.
"Ahhh, oh my god!"
Jia Zhen was in so much pain that he convulsed.
"It's okay, it's okay. The arrow is clean."
Doctor Bai gave a rare piece of advice.
The old man almost thought he was finished.
Unexpectedly, even though the Jia family was caught off guard and almost everyone was injured, they quickly stabilized their position.
Now we have reinforcements, even though there are only three of them, it is better than nothing.
Maybe if we hold on a little longer, reinforcements will arrive.
Bang! Another gunshot was heard. Old Doctor Bai quickly lifted the car curtain and looked out.
Well, another man in black fell.
It looks like he still has a few more years to live.
Dr. Bai was just about to feel relieved when he felt something was wrong.
That woman who fired the gun...why does she look familiar?
Huh?
Is it Madam Shen?! Oh my God! The old man was shocked.
Originally, because he was far away, he just thought that the opponent's shooting skills were quite good, but he never expected that it was Shen who shot.
Oh my!
The old man couldn't help but despise Jia Zhen, who screamed like a ghost when an arrow was pulled out.
Almost everyone out there had arrow wounds, but who was like him? It was fine that he couldn't compare to the palace guards, but even his mother...
Whoosh~~Wuhsh whoosh whoosh~~~Wen Peilan's whip is extremely flexible. With her joining in, Fan Daming, who arrived first, felt that life was much better.
The two men knew that if they wanted to concentrate on killing the enemy, they had to send their wives to the carriage.
And once inside the carriage, it would be easier to shoot again.
The men in black also knew this, but they had fallen from an absolute advantage to a disadvantage.
It’s a pity that the prince gave too few arrows.
otherwise……
Ding~clang~swoosh~the knives, swords and whips were fighting each other.
Everyone wants to cooperate with their teammates to defeat the opponent.
But the more anxious you are, the worse it will be.
At this moment, there was a vibration sound coming from the front, and a team of men in black came roaring over on horseback.
Not good! Jia Zhen quickly lifted the curtain of the carriage, and saw thick smoke billowing from the direction of Taixuan Temple.
"Our people are here, hurry up!"
The men in black who had attacked the carriage were cheered up.
The sword in his hand immediately became much sharper than before.
But at the same time, the sound of galloping horses was heard on the way Shen Ning and the others came.
The man in black who came down from Taixuan Temple was paused, but when he saw the number of people on the other side... he felt relieved again.
Both sides looked at the fight on the carriage side and gave up joining in, only treating each other as opponents.
Their horses were running faster and faster, charging at the formation, determined to slay the enemy.
“Kill~~~~”
Lan Zhi and others were all veterans of many battles. When they were about to charge into battle, they shouted loudly, raised their swords and slashed with incredible efficiency.
As for the men in black... no one shouted, and they were even startled by the other party's shouting.
At the moment of the fight, there was almost no chance of winning.
The people from the Five Cities Military Department followed behind and took advantage of the situation.
"Kill! Kill, kill!!!"
They also started shouting.
Of course, those who can enter the Five Cities Army and Marshals, even those who have no ability, have some strength in their hands.
When the swords collided, almost half of the enemy's troops were cut off.
