Red Mansion: Seizing Jiangdong, starting with pirates

Chapter 185, First Confrontation

At the banquet, Fang Yong highly praised everyone's contributions.

Although Shi Nai did not make any great contribution, fortunately he had helped release Gui'er and others before. Fang Yong wrote about this in great detail and forcibly pulled Shi Nai into his team.

Shi Nai did not resist. Xiangyun was now in Fang Yong's hands. For him, joining Fang Yong was the best choice now.

Fang Yong then explained to everyone his next goal, which was to support the emperor to return to Beijing, drive out the Tartars, quell the rebellion, and restore the country!

Although Fang Yong did not say it explicitly, everyone present was smart and naturally understood what Fang Yong meant.

So everyone responded and expressed their willingness to do their best to help Fang Yong achieve his wish.

Everyone, their families and Fang Yong stood on the same front.

The banquet ended successfully.

On the way back, Jia She was feeling very depressed.

No, he has to find a way!

Even if Xiangyun got there first, he had to find a way to let Yingchun get the chance back!

Men understand men best.

That little girl Xiangyun is so ordinary, how can she compare to Yingchun in his family?
When it comes to real life, it depends on who has a better chance!
……

Fang Yong returned to the military tent, but found two more maids standing outside. The two maids were a little scared when they saw him.

It turned out that these two were Xiangyun's maids. He had taken Xiangyun away before, and these two maids didn't have time to catch up. Now the Shi family sent them here together.

However, without Fang Yong's order, Xiangyun did not allow them to enter the military tent, so they stood outside first.

"Come in first."

Fang Yongdao.

The two little maids looked at Fang Yong with gratitude. It was indeed a bit cold outside.

The two followed Fang Yong in.

Fang Yong ordered the two not to touch the maps and desk in the military tent.

The two maids agreed.

Fang Yongsui no longer cared about it.

The two maids immediately got busy.

They brought a lot of Xiangyun's clothes and a booklet for her. A little maid talked to Xiangyun closely. Xiangyun's face became redder and redder, and she did not dare to look at Fang Yong.

In the evening, Fang Yong and Xiangyun had dinner and prepared to rest.

A little maid brought water.

Washed Xiangyun's feet.

Each of the crystal clear toes looks like tender lotus roots.

A little maid walked up to Fang Yong and said nervously:
"Aunt, uncle, let me wash you too."

Fang Yong smiled and touched the other person's hair, saying:

"Okay, but don't be so nervous."

The little maid breathed a sigh of relief and helped Fang Yong finish washing up.

Xiangyun huddled in the quilt, feeling a little nervous as she thought about the booklet she had just read.

At this time, Fang Yong also lay down.

Xiangyun became even more nervous.

Fang Yong reached out and naturally held Xiangyun in his arms.

Ah, it’s the familiar stove.

Xiangyun said secretly.

In the darkness of the night, the two were so close that they could hear each other's breathing.

The candlelight not far away illuminated the appearance of both parties. Xiangyun turned around and looked at Fang Yong's profile. She felt that Fang Yong was handsome. The more she looked at him, the more handsome he became. It was pleasing to the eyes and in line with her aesthetic standards.

Much better looking than his second brother.

Xiangyun somehow thought of Baoyu, and she hurriedly cleared the thought from her mind. No, how could she think of another man now?

"What are you thinking about?"

Fang Yong suddenly turned and looked at Xiangyun.

Xiangyun's heart skipped a beat, her face turned red, and she felt a little flustered.

She's like a girl whose secrets have been revealed, so adorable.

Fang Yong went straight up and kissed Xiangyun.

Xiangyun's mind went blank in an instant and she couldn't do anything.

It was not until a long time later that Fang Yong opened his mouth and she gasped for breath.

Her flushed face and blurred eyes make her even more attractive.

However, it's not yet time.

"Go to sleep!"

Fang Yong said.

Xiangyun hummed, lay on Fang Yong's chest, and fell asleep peacefully while hugging the stove.

On the other side, Jia Mu, Baoyu and their group fled to a small ravine in the wilderness.

Due to the rugged road, the carriage broke down halfway.

Jia Mu and the others had to carry their luggage and walk. Jia Mu was not Granny Liu, and walking at her age was simply a death sentence for her.

He had no choice but to be carried on the mandarin duck's back.

Mandarin ducks carry amber on their backs.

After Amber finished carrying the burden, no one else carried it.

Due to the short time, only four of them escaped.

Grandmother Jia, Baoyu, Yuanyang, and Amber.

Yuanyang is a woman, and she has to drive the carriage and carry Lady Jia on her back. How could she have the strength to do that?

I thought of asking Baoyu to help me. Although Baoyu is not very old, he is a man after all, so he should have some strength.

However, just as he was about to open his mouth, he saw Baoyu lying on the ground with his arms and legs spread out, gasping for breath in sweat.

"Sister Yuanyang, I, I can't walk anymore, how about you carry me on your back?"

mandarin duck:……

Everyone was too tired to walk and had to rest where they were.

This ravine is sheltered from the wind, which does reduce the cold, but without food and water, the few people still cannot hold on.

Baoyu was so hungry that his stomach was rumbling and his eyes were full of stars. He looked at the moon in the sky, wishing he could take a bite of it. In a trance, he seemed to see his beloved sister Xiangyun transformed into Chang'e and left.

"Sister Xiangyun!"

Baoyu shouted anxiously and stood up from the ground.

Only then did I realize that I was hallucinating because of hunger.

"I don't know how Sister Xiangyun is doing now. No, I have to go back to find Sister Xiangyun!"

For some reason, Baoyu got crazy and left without considering the actual situation.

Grandmother Jia was shocked and said weakly, "Quick, stop him!"

Yuanyang and Amber hurried forward to stop them.

"Master Bao, how can you go back at this time?"

Baoyu didn't care and pushed Yuanyang and Amber, who were almost exhausted after a day of hard work, to the ground.

How can this performance look like being weak?
Baoyu rushed out of the ravine, and when everyone was at a loss, many flames suddenly appeared in front of them.

The fire was getting closer and closer, and the sound of horse hooves began to be heard.

When Baoyu saw this, he immediately remembered the fear he felt during the day. He no longer remembered his sister Xiangyun. He turned around and tried to run, but then he tripped over the uneven ground and fell flat on his face.

Soon, soldiers from the Huaiyin Army arrived and surrounded the few people.

I took a look at the appearance of these people: an old lady, a young man, and two maids. They were basically the same people that the general had instructed me to look for.

However, out of caution, the Huaiyin Army still asked:

"Are you the old lady Shi and Jia Baoyu from the Jia Mansion?"

Upon hearing this, Jia Mu and others didn't know whether they should answer truthfully.

Baoyu got stubborn and said, "Why don't I tell you?"

After hearing this, the soldiers of the Huaiyin Army dismounted, walked forward, and with a fierce blow, they knocked Baoyu to the ground.

"Speak nicely to me!"

This slap was somewhat due to personal grudge. They had been working hard for a whole day to find Baoyu and his friends. Now that Baoyu still had this attitude, it was natural that he would be beaten.

"Baoyu!"

Grandmother Jia and others rushed over to see if Baoyu was okay.

When the soldiers heard the word "Baoyu", they knew they were these people, so they took them back.

On the way back, Baoyu was surprisingly well-behaved and didn't dare to say anything more.

The fierce fight of the Huaiyin army left Baoyu with an indelible psychological trauma.

On the other side, in Fang Yong’s tent.

Fang Yong hasn't fallen asleep yet and is doing something.

Xiangyun didn't sleep either.

Xiangyun blushed and looked at Fang Yong with a reproachful look.
He was so serious yesterday, but now he is so bad!
Fang Yong kissed Xiangyun's cheek and said:

"Since you can't sleep, I'll tell you my story, okay?"

Xiangyun glared at Fang Yong and thought to herself:

"You bad guy, huh, what do you mean I can't sleep? It's obviously you who's causing me to be unable to sleep!"

Fang Yong has already started his lecture.

He has so many stories to tell.

Along the way to now, every event he has experienced, every battle he has fought, and every person he has met is a wonderful story.

As Xiangyun listened, she was attracted by the story and no longer paid attention to Fang Yong's actions.

Suddenly, soldiers' shouts were heard outside.

"General, urgent military situation!"

Fang Yong stood up quickly.

"Wait for me here."

After saying that, Fang Yong quickly took his armor and walked out.
