Catching Monsters

Chapter 174 Urgent Mission

The servants of the Weiwu Marquis' Mansion have been trying hard to make Feng Bei'er happy recently.

Feng Bei'er is a beauty of extraordinary beauty, and her appearance is probably among the top three in the entire capital, so there is an endless stream of people pursuing her.

But in recent days, Feng Bei'er has been staying indoors and has no interest in the poetry gatherings held twice a month in Wangyue Pavilion. For this reason, Mrs. Hou's family has taken great pains and spent money to have scholars in Beijing write many poems and send them to Feng Bei'er's courtyard.

I wanted Feng Bei'er to be happy after reading the poems.

But these poems were not pleasing to Feng Beier at all.

During this period, Feng Bei'er seemed to be suffering from lovesickness. She had no appetite and would often sit in the yard, reading a collection of Jiang Yun's poems.

Such longing for his love made her lose a lot of weight. Finally, when the wife of the Marquis heard about it, she asked the servants to find out who this Jiang Yun was.

If there is a powerful young man in the capital who is of equal status, even if his family background is slightly inferior to mine, he will agree to the marriage.

After some inquiries, he found out that Jiang Yun was a scholar from Nanzhou Prefecture, and now served as the general flag in the East Pacification Division.

The general flag of the Eastern Pacification Division is a top-notch figure in the eyes of ordinary people in the capital.

But the Weiwuhou Mansion is a powerful and influential man in the capital who possesses military power, which is a bit underwhelming.

But the wife of the Marquis was concerned about her daughter's health, and had originally planned to ask someone to find General Jiang and visit him to see what kind of person he was.

If he is excellent, she will marry Feng Bei'er to him with great reluctance.

But upon further inquiry, it turned out that Jiang Yun was now living in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

There are also rumors that Madam Tao Yuelan of the Zhenguo Mansion is quite fond of him and might be the future son-in-law of the Zhenguo Mansion.

When the wife of Marquis Weiwu learned about this, she simply ordered that Feng Bei'er was not allowed to go out.

My daughter is so beautiful and charming, and so many talented young men admire her. What would it matter if it got out that she was competing with Miss Xu from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion for a man?

What's more, this might completely offend the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

The other thing was to ask the servants to do whatever it took to make Feng Bei'er happy.

"Guan Guan Jiu Jiu, in the river island. A graceful lady, a gentleman likes to fight."

In the courtyard, Feng Bei'er sat under a tree with a haggard face, looking at the poems she had copied by hand. In her mind, all she could see was Jiang Yun's spirit at the Chenming Poetry Meeting.

Then she closed her eyes and said:
"The candlelight in the window reminds me of Xiao Lang, the lamp is burning out and the night is getting longer. A few volumes of books have the warmth of ink, and the old words on the half-written paper make me feel cold."

"It is hard to express my feelings day and night, and my thoughts are still there year after year. I only hope that we can cut the candle together when we return, and talk under the curtains under the full moon."

This was her favorite poem before. The love story described in the poem was moving and yearning.

The maid sitting next to her looked at Feng Bei'er's appearance and felt helpless. If she couldn't make the young lady happy, the lady would probably get angry again.

She whispered, "Miss, Mr. Jiang is now staying at the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, so don't worry about it. The Wangyue Pavilion Poetry Festival hasn't been held for a long time. Qin Hanshan, a student from the Academy, has come to our mansion many times to pay a visit and show concern for you."

"But young lady, you don't even have the heart to see him and have turned him away many times."

"If you ask me, Mr. Qin's knowledge is not bad..."

Feng Beier shook her head and said to the maid, "You don't understand Master Jiang's literary talent. At his age, he can write such poems. I'm afraid it's hard for anyone in the whole Great Zhou to be able to match Master Jiang in half."

"I've had the same dream countless times."

"I dreamed that I was surrounded by countless demons and was about to be killed by them, but finally Master Jiang rode a white horse and repelled countless demons and rescued me."

The maid persuaded: "Miss, this is just a dream..."

The maid didn't understand poetry, let alone dreams. Feng Bei'er knew that it was useless to say more. She just sighed and then said, "Mother left early this morning, right?"

Feng Beier took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind: "Change into my clothes and sit with your back to me."

"I'm going out."

The maid's face changed slightly when she heard this, and she said, "Miss, what are you going to do?"

"I'm going to the East Pacification Office." Feng Bei'er gritted her teeth slightly.

"Ah?" The maid was startled. Knowing that Feng Bei'er was going to look for Master Jiang, she hurriedly advised: "Miss, if you do this and the Madam knows about it, I'm afraid I will be punished."

Feng Beier's eyes were firm and she said firmly, "I understand Mr. Jiang's poetry and can understand his artistic conception through poetry."

"I have already merged my mind with Master Jiang's."

"He and I are made for each other." The maid looked at Feng Bei'er worriedly: "Miss, these are just your one-sided thoughts..."

Feng Beier took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I will prove it."

After saying that, she asked the maid to change into her own clothes, and then sneaked out from the back door. After walking out of the Marquis' Mansion, Feng Bei'er felt extremely happy when she thought about meeting Jiang Yun soon.

She hurried towards the direction of the East Zhenfusi, and was about to arrive at the door of the East Zhenfusi yamen.

Feng Beier took a deep breath, closed her eyes, wiped the darkness, and slowly walked into the East Pacification Office.

"Miss, what are you doing?"

"This is the main gate of the East Pacification Office. Ordinary people cannot enter without written documents."

"Miss, wait a minute."

Feng Bei'er heard the voices of other Jinyiwei around her, but she ignored them and continued to walk inside.

She wanted to prove her fate with Jiang Yun. Even in darkness, she would be able to see Jiang Yun the first time she opened her eyes.

This is the bond between me and Jiang Yun.

"I want to find General Jiang." Feng Bei'er said with her eyes closed.

The Jinyiwei beside him explained, "Looking for General Jiang? General Jiang should still be at home. If he is fine, he is usually not in the government office."

Feng Bei'er still closed her eyes: "Then I want to meet his direct supervisor."

The many Jinyiwei surrounding Feng Bei'er looked at each other in bewilderment. They did not recognize the girl in front of them, but they saw that she was dressed elegantly and looked very good.

It's such a pity that such a beautiful girl went blind at such a young age.

Soon, Feng Bei'er, with her eyes closed, was led to the outside of Yang Liunian's study by her Jinyiwei.

"Captain Yang, this girl claims to be looking for General Jiang."

Yang Liunian, who was sitting inside handling affairs, frowned. Jiang Yun was really a troublesome kid. He even stayed in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

Could it be that he got into trouble with love affairs again?

It would be difficult if the people in the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion knew about it.

Yang Liunian first instructed his subordinates: "Don't spread this matter around, especially don't let Xu Xiaogang and Xu Suwen know about it."

After saying that, he walked out the door, but when he saw the beautiful Feng Bei'er at the door, Yang Liunian was slightly startled.

Such a beautiful girl is rare in the capital, and judging from her temperament, she is probably not from an ordinary family.

"Girl, who are you?"

Feng Beier closed her eyes and said slowly: "I want to see Jiang Yun, and I want to see him now."

"Miss, General Jiang is not on duty today, you can go back first." Yang Liunian laughed and prepared to have someone send Feng Beier back: "General Jiang will not see you for the time being."

Yang Liunian is well-informed. If such a young and beautiful girl comes to see Jiang Yun, it must be a debt of revenge or a debt of love. There is no way he would let Jiang Yun come to see her.

Unexpectedly, Feng Beier said, "I want to go out of the capital for an outing, and I need General Jiang's personal protection."

Yang Liunian's face darkened slightly, and he said impatiently, "Miss, what do you think of our East Pacification Division?"

"We are dealing with important matters concerning the protection of the country and the nation. Can we provide you with personal protection?"

Feng Beier suddenly took out a silver note of three hundred taels: "This is the deposit, one hundred taels a day."

"If General Jiang protects you properly, I will pay you a monthly fee."

That’s three thousand taels a month!

What is the origin of this girl?
It's so rich.

Simply rare.

Thinking of this, Yang Liunian's eyes lit up slightly. This was not an ordinary girl.

She's a rich girl.

Yang Liunian took the three hundred taels of silver note, pondered it for a moment, took a deep breath, and ordered loudly: "Come here, inform General Jiang that there is an urgent mission! Return to the government office immediately!"
