Simultaneous travel: I am proving the great way in the heavens.

Chapter 496: The Demon Lord in Heaven and Tai Sui God on Earth!
Northern Zhili Guild Hall.

As the official representative of Beiqing, although Jia Yuanchun was the protagonist of this so-called marriage, in fact, in this Beiqing official group, she was at best just a fig leaf hanging outside to keep the last bit of face for Beiqing.

No matter whether it was a big or small matter, Jia Yuanchun had no say at all.

Since arriving at the Northern Zhili Guild Hall in Jinling, the only thing that surprised Jia Yuanchun was perhaps the possibility of seeing her two younger sisters, Jia Yingchun and Jia Tanchun, again.

Unfortunately, the reunion with Jia Yingchun and Jia Tanchun was both a surprise and made Jia Yuanchun feel even more sad.

Jia Yuanchun, perhaps the few smart people in the Jia family, can easily see that the Jia family’s current situation has reached a dead end.

On the Luofu side, the Jia family's servants were the culprits who forced the Luofu family to be broken up and desperate, and then raised the banner of rebellion. On the Beiqing side, the Jia family was a typical example of officials forcing the people to rebel and oppressing the people.

Now that the North and the South are in confrontation, the Jia family may still have room to breathe, but no matter whether Luofu unifies the north from the south or Beiqing quells the rebellion.

Once the world is unified again, neither side will let the Jia family go.

In the Northern Zhili Guild Hall, after seeing her two younger sisters, Jia Yuanchun was filled with mixed feelings of sadness and joy, and even cried while hugging Jia Yingchun and Jia Tanchun.

In this time of reform and innovation, when the world was changing, the three sisters of the Jia family could only go with the flow when they got together.

If they could gain Luofu's favor, they might be able to survive. Otherwise, if they were rejected by Luofu, then when the Jia family's empire collapsed, their best fate would be to be thrown into the Jiaofang Bureau, or even worse.

While anxiously waiting for the final decision of fate.

An unexpected person suddenly appeared in front of the three sisters of the Jia family.

Jia Yuanchun hadn't been back to the Jia Mansion for a long time, so at first glance, she felt that the eunuch who came to deliver the imperial edict looked somewhat familiar.

But Jia Yingchun and Jia Tanchun were completely shocked.

Even Jia Qiang, who was standing by, had dazed eyes and a blank mind.

In fact, they never dreamed that when they met Jia Lian again, he would be wearing eunuch's clothes and appearing as a eunuch delivering imperial decrees.

"Lian... Second Brother Lian, how...how could you?" Jia Yingchun widened her eyes, and a layer of mist instantly covered her gaze.

Jia Tanchun sighed quietly and lowered her eyes.

After Jia Qiang came to his senses, his entire body began to tremble like a sieve.

"Uncle Lian, you... you..."

Jia Lian smiled bitterly and said, "My current fate is the price I pay for not managing my family well."

From being the heir to the title of Rongguo Mansion in Beiqing and the legitimate son of Jia She, the first-class general of Rongguo Mansion, he became a eunuch, which was such a huge turning point in his life.

Jia Lian could only use this excuse to comfort himself.

The three sisters of the Jia family, including Jia Qiang, knew very well that Jia Lian had ended up like this, and no matter what they said, it would be like rubbing salt into his wounds.

Taking a deep breath and pulling himself together, Jia Lian forced a smile and said, "The king has given you an order."

As Jia Lian finished speaking, the members of the Northern Qing delegation looked at each other for a moment, and then a man in a fourth-rank official uniform bowed and said, "Your Excellency, please accept my order."

Seeing this, the others quickly followed suit and saluted Jia Lian.

Jia Lian came to convey Luofu's oral instructions, so he represented Luofu, the lord of Jiangnan, King Zhao, and Emperor Luotian.

No matter whether they were members of the diplomatic corps or Erchun of the Jia family, since they were not members of the system established by Luofu, they could only call themselves foreign ministers.

"It is reported that Jia Yuanchun, Lady of Rongguo County, Beiqing, Jia Yingchun, and Jia Tanchun of Rongguo Mansion, Beiqing, are coming to the palace to meet the emperor."

The man in the fourth-rank official uniform, who was in charge of the so-called marriage but in fact a peace negotiation, was startled when he heard this, and then he said, "May I ask the angel, His Royal Highness the King of Zhao, didn't you summon us?"

Shaking his head, Jia Lian said, "In the king's oral instructions, he only mentioned the Lady of Rongguo County and the two... two girls from the Jia Mansion! He did not mention you."

Frowning, the fourth-rank official hesitated for a moment, apologized to Jia Lian, and then said directly to Jia Yuanchun: "County Lady, if you are able to see the King of Zhao, please do not forget the Ning and Rong mansions and us."

The fourth-rank official first mentioned the Ning and Rong mansions, and then mentioned the members of the delegation.

Apart from Jia Yingchun, Jia Tanchun and Jia Qiang, Jia Lian and Jia Yuanchun were the first to react. This was basically a threat.

Of the three girls in the Jia family, one was granted the title of Lady of Rongguo County by the Emperor of Beiqing, and the remaining two were sent here by the Jia family.

However, the Jia family’s headquarters, the Ning and Rong mansions, are still in the capital of Beiqing.

This also means that the Emperor of Beiqing can take action against the Jia family at any time.

Jia Yuanchun nodded bitterly and said, "Please rest assured, sir."

After leaving the Beizhili Guild Hall, I got on the carriage sent by the palace.

Jia Lian heaved a sigh of relief, and couldn't wait to ask Jia Yuanchun, "Big sister, what on earth...what happened? Why did you appear in the Northern Zhili Guild Hall with your second and third sisters, and how did you become the Lady of Rongguo County?"

Jia Yuanchun said helplessly: "This is a long story."

The words suddenly stopped, and Jia Yuanchun didn't know how to explain everything to Jia Lian.

After all, she had always been in the imperial palace and was not clear about the affairs of the Jia family. She even knew very little about the King of Zhao, who proclaimed himself king and established a system of government, dividing the river with Beiqing.

"Brother Lian." It was Jia Tanchun who took the initiative to speak and said, "After you sent Sister Lin to Yangzhou, the family lost contact with you. Even the ancestors, the master and the eldest master thought that you had met with an accident and asked Jia Qiang to escort my second sister and me to Jinling together."

Jia Lian was puzzled and said, "Even if I really met with an accident, why would I let you and my second sister come? Even if it was..."

The voice paused, and a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in Jia Lian's mind.

Jia Yingchun and Jia Tanchun, they didn't go south to Nanjing because of him, they were clearly given to the Prince of Zhao by the mansion.

The moment he realized what was happening, Jia Lian felt heartbroken yet helpless.

Who made the Jia family commit so many heinous crimes? Whether in Beiqing or on Prince Zhao's side, they have almost become the main target.

Beiqing is doomed to fail. Once the emperor quells the Luotian Rebellion, the Jia family will be executed along with all nine clans. And Zhao Wang Luofu will not have a good ending either.

After all, the servants of the Jia family were the culprits who caused the Luofu family to be destroyed.

But compared to Beiqing, sending Jia Yingchun and Jia Tanchun to Luofu one after another can at least give the Jia family a glimmer of hope and leave a trace of incense.

After understanding the whole story, Jia Lian's heart was suddenly filled with unprecedented sadness. He felt like the whole building was about to collapse, but he was powerless to do anything. His eyes even turned red.

Looking at the three sisters Jia Yuanchun, Jia Yingchun and Jia Tanchun in front of him with pain but powerlessness, Jia Lian took a deep breath and said in a heavy tone: "Big sister, second sister, third sister, I'm sorry for putting you through this for the sake of the Jia family!"

It has to be admitted that although the Ning and Rong mansions did have no successors, the women of Jia Yuanchun's generation were more outstanding than the other.

Maybe they have different personalities and abilities, but they are indeed much stronger than the men in the Jia family.

Even though Jia Yingchun was called a fool and laughed at for not being able to cry out when poked by a needle, she was also very clear about the purpose of sending herself and others to Jinling.

Although Jia Yingchun was not favored in the Jia family and did not receive much training, we must not forget that Jia Yingchun was a person who liked to play chess and was good at playing chess. Although she might not be very smart, she was definitely not stupid.

Especially if Luo Fu had not appeared out of nowhere, Jia Yingchun would have been given to Sun Shaozu by Jia She in exchange for five thousand taels of silver. Although she was indeed abused to death within a year, when they had just gotten married and the Jia family still had the airs of having two sons, Sun Shaozu at best did not pay much attention to Jia Yingchun and did not abuse him much.

At this time, Jia Yingchun would go home and cry and complain that she did not get the treatment that a wife should receive. It can be seen that Jia Yingchun was very clear about her position. It was a pity that before her marriage, she was not favored in the Jia family, and after her marriage, the Jia family had already fallen into decline. Even if Jia Yingchun was treated with contempt by Sun Shaozu, the Jia family could not support her.

Not to mention Jia Tanchun. The title of Min Tanchun is enough to prove everything. Although Jia Tanchun also has her own shortcomings, it is undeniable that her ability to manage the entire Jia family is enough to prove her intelligence.

Jia Yuanchun was able to climb to the position of concubine in the harem without any family support. Even if this was due to the emperor's conspiracy against her, the fact that she was used was a proof of Jia Yuanchun's reputation.

Sanchun was also sad and angry about the future of the Jia family at this moment.

Jia Tanchun took a deep breath and said, "Second Brother Lian, the reason why our family is in this situation today is because we didn't control our subordinates well in the past, and finally provoked such a real dragon. After my sisters and I entered the palace, no matter what happened, we would fight for a chance of survival for the Jia family. But we are in the harem, and we are blocked by the high walls of the palace. If the Jia family wants to survive this disaster, we must tighten the supervision of our clansmen."

I heard Jia Tanchun was making plans for the future of the Jia family.

Jia Yingchun looked at Jia Tanchun calmly, but sighed softly in her heart.

If Jia Lian had not become a eunuch, as the eldest son of the Jia family and the heir to the title, he would have been qualified to manage the Jia family. But now, Jia Lian has become a eunuch, and a eunuch far away in the royal palace in Jinling.

There seems to be no difference in the situations of these brothers and sisters.

What happens to the Jia family ultimately depends on themselves.

Along the way, Jia Lian and Jia Tanchun in the carriage kept discussing how to make the Jia family survive in the upcoming reform and change of dynasty.

But from beginning to end, Jia Yuanchun and Jia Yingchun did not speak a word. At best, they just agreed.

Obviously, Jia Yuanchun and Jia Yingchun knew very well that the future of the Jia family was no longer decided by themselves.

Even the life and death of the nine members of the Jia family depended on the thought of King Zhao Luofu.

The Jia family could only survive if King Zhao Luofu was willing to show leniency. Otherwise, no matter how perfect the plan they came up with was, they would be helpless in the face of the overwhelming trend.

The Beizhili Guild Hall in Jinling City is only a few minutes' carriage ride away from the royal palace.

When the carriage entered the palace gate, Jia Lian immediately stopped discussing with Jia Yingchun, lowered his voice, and said: "Big sister, two sisters, Miss Lin from my aunt's family is very favored by King Zhao. Not only Miss Lin, but even Aunt Xue's daughter, Lady Xue Baochai, has also been favored by the king. You have just entered the palace. You should get close to Miss Lin and Lady Xue, and..."

Jia Lian paused, as if he was about to say something that was difficult to say. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "Also, since you have entered the palace, you must not be reserved. In short, vying for favor and consolidating favor are your top priorities. Otherwise, in this palace, not to mention the Jia family, even you will not be able to protect yourself."

This one sentence instantly made the three girls in the Jia family blush.

However, they also knew that Jia Lian's words were truly from the bottom of his heart.

Now Jia Lian has indeed been castrated and has become a eunuch, but in the past, Second Master Lian had many affairs with other women, so this can be regarded as speaking from experience.

After the carriage entered the palace, not long after, in accordance with the palace rules, Jia Lian obediently took the three girls of the Jia family out of the carriage and walked towards the palace where Luofu was located.

After passing the message to the chief eunuch, they could only wait obediently for Luofu's summons.

Luo Fu didn't let them wait any longer.

It only took a few cups of tea for the chief eunuch to come before Jia Lian and others.

"Xiao Lianzi, the king has issued an order to summon Jia Yuanchun, Jia Yingchun, and Jia Tanchun to the emperor's presence."

Just as Jia Lian was about to receive the order, he was startled. After coming to his senses, he responded and lowered his voice, saying, "Master General Manager, then... where is this servant?"

Glancing at Jia Lian, the chief eunuch said calmly, "The king has said that he wants to see the three girls."

Now Jia Lian understood. Since King Zhao did not mention him, he could only wait here obediently.

Since being castrated, in the Jinling Palace, Jia Lian's original demeanor as a young master of the Rongguo Mansion in Beiqing disappeared at a speed almost visible to the naked eye.

After being taught so many lessons, he naturally put himself in the right place quickly.

When facing people of higher status than himself in the palace, he would call them slaves all the time.

In the past, this was something Jia Lian would never have dared to think about.

I learned that Luofu only wanted to see his three sisters.

Rao had already prepared himself mentally along the way.

But at this moment, Sanchun couldn't help feeling uneasy.

After all, they had never seen Luofu, and being in the capital of Beiqing, even if they had heard of Luofu, what they heard were mostly seriously distorted rumors.

Even in some rumors, Luofu is like the demon lord in heaven and the Tai Sui god on earth.

The leopard head, round eyes, and ferocious appearance are all Luofu’s beautification.
