Red Mansion: Seizing Jiangdong, starting with pirates

Chapter 228, Kong Family Scandal

Destroy Xu Shaobao.

Wei Xing excitedly took the order and quickly went down to prepare.

Fang Yong entrusted such an important task to Wei Xing, which shows his trust in Wei Xing and his affirmation of Wei Xing's ability.

In the battle on the grassland, Wei Xing's command was calm and composed. The two feigned defeat missions were both completed successfully without any mistakes, which proved his extraordinary ability.

The victory of a battle is often determined by many factors.

Everyone can lead troops to pursue a defeated enemy.

However, in order to feign defeat and lure the enemy into a trap while ensuring that one's own troops do not collapse, one must have very strong generals and soldiers.

On a rainy night in the capital, the army began to move.

The sound of armor colliding was drowned out by the sound of rain.

All that could be heard was the sound of dull and orderly footsteps.

The Juxian Pavilion not far away was still bustling with lights and wine.

Even though the Tartars from the grasslands had entered the capital not long ago, they could not change the status of Juxian Pavilion in the capital. Those brave and strong men from the grasslands were still bewitched and fascinated by it, and their marrow dried up and their bones rotted.

Now that the war is over, this place has become more prosperous.

The officials in the court returned to this place and discussed state affairs in the boudoir filled with the fragrance of fairy fragrance.

The top girl Ning'an, who has the best appearance and superb four arts, was nominated as the top girl. Because of the tradition of Juxian Pavilion, she was given the title of fairy.

Known in the world as Fairy Ning'an.

Fairy Ning'an has always been high and mighty.

Even when playing the piano, it is covered with white gauze, so you can only hear the sound but not see the person.

Fairy Ning'an can also compose poetry and write eight-legged essays. She is so talented that even the top student of the Imperial College would pale in comparison.

Many people spend huge sums of money but still can hardly see him.

Fairy Ning'an once claimed that she would never meet outsiders unless someone was better than her in writing.

In a private room, Brother Rong was having a party with Feng Ziying, Wei Ruolan and other sons of noble families.

Normally, Brother Rong rarely gets together with these people.

Because he is a generation younger than these people.

But things are different now.

Jia Rong became an official in the Land Bureau. These people wanted to ask him for something, so they took the initiative to invite Jia Rong to gather at Juxian Pavilion. One reason was to celebrate, and the other was to find out some news about the Land Bureau.

Jia Rong has some cleverness, but he is short-sighted and is far inferior to Jia Lian in dealing with worldly affairs.

Several people invited him to Zuixian Tower. At the beginning, Jia Rong was able to keep his mouth shut and refused to reveal the information from the Land Bureau.

But as charming girls came in one after another, with flowers blooming and willows green, graceful figures swaying, and cup after cup of fine wine flowing down his throat, Jia Rong could not help but be dazzled.

Feng Ziying and others tried to trick him into thinking more.

Before Jia Rong knew it, several important pieces of information came out of his mouth.

"After the land is donated, it will not be distributed to the people..."

"The Land Department is rebuilding the Fish Scale Book..."

"The Land Bureau has close ties with the military..."

The inside stories made everyone look more solemn. Suddenly, a eunuch came in and brought a tray.

It turned out to be a few pieces of paper. It turned out to be a question from Fairy Ning'an. Write a poem with the word "Spring Dew". If you can write the best poem, you can see the fairy...

Jia Rong took the paper and thought about writing a poem.

He has long admired Fairy Ning'an.

However, no matter how hard he racked his brains, he just couldn't come up with a good line for this poem.

On the contrary, this thought sobered him up a little, and he recalled what he had just said to everyone. Jia Rong's face turned pale and he thought to himself, "It's bad!"

At that time, on the top floor.

The screen faces the river, with a crescent moon hanging on it.

Several copper-eared enamel animal stoves were emitting wisps of hot steam and the smell of incense made the temperature in the room not feel cold at all.

An old man and a young man, standing on the left and right respectively, bullied the obedient Fairy Ning'an with their hideous faces.

Pour fine wine in the spring dew, it is hard to see the moon.

Fairies do not go to the moon, they only welcome you under the moon.

One old and one young. The old one is a famous scholar in the country, the Minister of Rites, Meng Shen.

The younger one is the grandson of the contemporary Yansheng Duke, a disciple of Meng Shen, Kong Zhaopei. Under the status of the two, the so-called fairies are nothing more than lowly animals that can be driven at will.

The word "Oiran" sounds nice, but she still cannot escape the fact of being a slave.

Even if you are worth millions of gold and live a life of luxury, it is still extremely lowly in the eyes of the real top leaders.

After a while, the clouds cleared and the rain stopped.

The master and his disciple changed their clothes and transformed themselves into the dignified-looking Minister of Rites and the grandson of Duke Yansheng again.

Fairy Ning'an knelt on the ground and tidied the clothes for the two of them.

Kong Zhaopei raised his hand and took a sip of tea, and said comfortably:
"My little sister Zhaolin will be placed here temporarily. The teacher needs to send someone to help her learn the skills well."

Meng Shen nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will instruct the older generation of courtesans to train her and ensure that no news will leak out..."

Not long after, inside the Qianqing Palace.

Little Xiangyun was breathing heavily.

Fang Yong looked at the information in his hand with interest.

"Kong's daughter, interesting!"

As the largest den of brothel in the capital, Juxian Pavilion was naturally filled with spies from the Huaiyin Army.

I didn't expect that the Kong family, which has been passed down poetry, books and etiquette for thousands of years, would now send their eldest daughter to a brothel to train those shameful skills in order to curry favor with me.

What a scandal this is?
Fang Yong smiled faintly and showed the document to Xiao Xiangyun, then put his arm around her waist and said:

"Look, someone is deliberately trying to deal with me. If Xiangyun doesn't work harder, she will fall behind!"

Xiangyun pursed her lips and tried hard to look at the document.

It's just that the document is shaking up and down, making it difficult to see clearly.

"Um~ General, please don't! You are flipping through the documents too fast. Xiangyun can't see clearly!"

Xiangyun spoke incoherently.

Fang Yong couldn't help but cover Xiao Xiangyun's mouth, then stood up and carried her to the door.

The moonlight poured through the gaps, and outside were many palace maids who were responsible for serving at night.

Seeing this, Xiao Xiangyun became even more nervous.

Fang Yong gently kissed her soft skin and said:

"Relax, let's practice the exercises together."

[Kung Fu: Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine (Normal)]

【Progress: 2/100】

【Effects: When yin and yang are combined, things will rise to the sky and become magnificent; when yin and yang are close, spirits and qi will blend, and the body and mind will be harmonious. By storing the old and accepting the new, the qi will be rich and the body will be strong, which will extend life.】

People have three treasures: essence, energy and spirit.

As the technique was put into practice, the two people's spirits, energy and vitality merged and grew.

After a long time...Xiangyun hugged Fang Yong tiredly.

"so tired!"

The new entry allows Fang Yong and others to grow both physically and mentally during their practice.

However, Xiao Xiangyun's physical condition is still too poor.

Even if growth is achieved, physical fatigue cannot be completely eliminated.

Fang Yong lay down with Xiangyun in his arms, and fell asleep peacefully in his arms, holding Xiangyun, who was like a little animal.

Compared to those subtle physical bonuses, Fang Yong paid more attention to the description at the end of the entry, "Long life!"

I just don't know what the specific effect is...

Datong.

The troops from the grassland have just retreated here.

If possible, Li Hao did not want to give up the city of Datong.

But the reality made it impossible for him to stay here.

He did not have any extra troops to garrison Datong.

After Kah Khan's death, it was impossible for the grassland tribes to obey his instructions.

It is even possible that once everyone returns to the grassland, other tribes will immediately challenge the Abuka family. (Abuka is the last name of Kah Khan, mentioned before.)
Helplessly, Li Hao could only give up Datong, the city he had conquered with great difficulty.
