Red Mansion: Seizing Jiangdong, starting with pirates

Chapter 183, Xiangyun welcomes

The Battle of Juma River has come to an end.

It ended with Fang Yong's complete victory.

The battle started in the early morning and it was now almost noon.

Fang Yong ordered his men to prepare a banquet, and then invited Jia She, Jia Zhen, Wang Ren and others to attend the banquet.

On the one hand, this is to commend their contributions, and on the other hand, it is to make them clearly stand on the side.

Jia She was very happy. Now that the situation was basically clear, he naturally didn't mind taking sides.

Not only that, he is also prepared to increase the stakes further.

Jia She took the initiative to talk to Fang Yong:
"General, you have been very tired in coming to the king's rescue. I have a beloved daughter who has admired you for a long time. I beg you to allow her to come and serve you."

After hearing this, Fang Yong recalled a little and remembered that Jia She's daughter was Jia Yingchun.

This is how Yingchun is described in the original book.

She has slightly plump skin, a medium build, cheeks as red as fresh litchi, a nose as smooth as goose fat, and she is gentle and silent, very approachable.

Although not as stunning as Daiyu and Baochai, she is also a good person.

Fang Yong was not lustful, he was just curious and wanted to meet the other person.

So I agreed.

Jia She was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly ordered someone to call Yingchun.

Due to the previous chaos, the Jia family's family members and carriages were gathered together for easy protection. Yingchun and Xichun both hid in the same carriage, not far behind the two of them.

Jia She's servant went to call Yingchun.

When Yingchun inside heard that they were going to give her to the big thief Fang Yong, she was so scared that she burst into tears.

I heard that Fang Yong was eight feet tall, had three heads and six arms, a green face and fangs. How could a weak woman like her withstand his torture? She would die!
Yingchun had already been frightened by the war, and now she heard the tragic news. She almost fainted and huddled in the corner of the carriage, unable to move.

Xiangyun and Xichun, who were standing by, tried to comfort Yingchun, but to no avail.

The servants and maids outside called out to her again and again, but Yingchun pretended not to hear them.

There was no way. Now that everyone was watching, they couldn't forcibly drag Yingchun out.

If that were the case, and Fang Yong discovered Yingchun's reluctance, wouldn't that be counterproductive?
The servants had no choice but to reply.

The boy was smart and knew he couldn't tell the truth at this time, so he made up something nice to say:
"Master, the second young lady has admired General Fang for a long time. Now that she suddenly heard that General Fang was coming in person, she felt extremely shy and didn't dare to come out."

As soon as Jia She heard it, he guessed what was going on.

I was so angry that I thought I had wasted such a great opportunity, but I couldn't show it at this moment.

He knew that Yingchun had always resisted Huaiyin thief Fang Yong, but Jia She always believed that it was natural for parents to decide their children's marriages. Besides, Yingchun was weak in character, so he never took Yingchun's ideas seriously. He didn't expect that...

Seeing that Yingchun was so useless, Jia Zhen, who was beside her, suddenly had other ideas. He thought that maybe he could give his sister Xichun to Fang Yong.

But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was not appropriate. Xichun was too young and it would be useless to send her away.

Is there no suitable woman in his Ning Mansion?
At this time, Jia She apologized to Fang Yong with an apologetic look on his face:
"General, I am sorry to make you laugh at my weakness."

Fang Yong shook his head.

At this time, he did not think that Yingchun was unwilling to come out because she was afraid of him. He thought that Yingchun was really like what the servant said, that she was too shy and did not dare to come out.

This is also consistent with Yingchun's character in the original novel, so Fang Yong did not doubt it.

Fang Yong thought that if he left at this point, Yingchun would inevitably be punished when she returned. For him, this matter was just a matter of a word, so why bother making things difficult for Yingchun, who had a poor fate?
Then he said:

"It's okay, I'll go take a look."

After saying that, Fang Yong walked forward himself.

Jia She was shocked. He never expected that Fang Yong would lower himself to go in person.

He wanted to stop it, but he couldn't think of any reason at the moment.

Fang Yong moved quickly and soon reached the front of the carriage.

At this moment, Jia She's heart sank.

Fang Yong came to the carriage. The maids and servants surrounding the carriage hurriedly saluted respectfully and shouted, "General!"

Fang Yong waved his hand and these people retreated one after another.

When Xiangyun and Xichun in the car heard the word "General", they immediately realized that it was the "bandit leader" Fang Yong who came in person, and they couldn't help feeling panicked.

He is the leader of all the thieves. If he were to discover the true situation here, he would be furious and...

Xiangyun hurriedly leaned over to Yingchun's ear and called her in a low voice.

"Second sister..."

Yingchun heard Xiangyun's words and was willing to help, but she didn't want to implicate everyone, but her hands and feet were weak and she couldn't move. Fang Yong's hearing was so poor that he could hear Xiangyun calling Yingchun "Second Sister" in a low voice from outside the carriage.

"How is this going?"

Fang Yong lifted the curtain of the carriage with interest.

Xiangyun and Xichun inside felt their hearts tighten when they saw this, but then they were stunned again when they saw Fang Yong's appearance.

This seems to be different from the rumors...

Fang Yong was also a little surprised when he saw the three people in the car.

When he heard the voice of “Second Sister” before, he thought it was Xichun calling Yingchun, but now there was another one. Judging from her age, she seemed to be younger than Daiyu. It was definitely not Yingchun, but he didn’t know who it was exactly?

After thinking for a while, Fang Yong said:
"I didn't know there were three girls here. I'm sorry. Which one is Miss Yingchun?"

At this time, Yingchun huddled in the corner of the carriage with her head down. She knew in her heart that she had to stand up, otherwise she would implicate others. However, her body was so afraid that she could not move.

Xiangyun looked at Fang Yong, then turned back to look at Yingchun.

She knew that she must not let Fang Yong lose face, because the other party was a local lord with a large number of troops. According to the book, if she angered him, there would be millions of corpses and rivers of blood!

But Yingchun didn't move now.

Xiangyun took a deep breath and looked at Fang Yong's appearance. He was handsome!

So it seemed as if some kind of decision had been made.

"I am Yingchun. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, General!"

Xiangyun said so.

Fang Yong was stunned for a moment.

After thinking about it, I didn’t expose it.

Because the little girl in front of me is also very cute.

Fang Yong stretched out his hand, and Xiangyun put it on it somewhat embarrassedly, and then was helped out of the car by Fang Yong.

Jia She was watching this scene not far away, his eyes wide open.

Of course he knew Shi Xiangyun.

Damn it!
I spent all this time trying, but in the end, the historian got the upper hand!
Jia She’s teeth were almost bitten off.

But his own daughter is useless, so he can't blame anyone else.

They could only watch Fang Yong carry Shi Xiangyun onto the horse and leave.

In the carriage, Yingchun barely stood up until Fang Yong left.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault that I harmed Sister Xiangyun!"

Yingchun burst into tears.

Xiao Xichun, who was standing by, touched her chin and shook her head when she heard this.

"I feel like you, my second sister, are the one who's at a disadvantage!"

Yingchun: “Ah?”

On the way, Fang Yong held Xiangyun in his arms and rode towards the team's main tent.

Xiangyun's little face was as red as an apple. Her two little hands tightly grasped Fang Yong's arms. There were two gold bracelets on her wrists, which jumped gently as the horses moved.

“Is this your first time riding a horse?”

Fang Yong asked.

Xiangyun nodded, then looked back at Fang Yong and still thought he was handsome.

"Are you really General Fang?"

Xiangyun asked.

"Why do you ask?"

Fang Yong asked.

Xiangyun said: "We have all heard that you have a green face and fangs..."

Fang Yong smiled and said:
"Is that why Yingchun doesn't dare to get up?"

Xiangyun was startled and said:
"So you already know everything!"

As they were talking, the two had already arrived at the main tent, and Fang Yong dismounted carrying Xiangyun.
