Red Mansion: After being expelled from the family, I was granted the title of Marquis of Mobei

Chapter 6 Shadow Secret Guard Reports, Encountering a Beautiful Woman at Yuqing Temple
The system is undoubtedly of great help to Jia Jue.

Although there is no system, Jia Jue is confident that he can gain a foothold in the Zhenbei Army and find a way out with his bravery and strategy.

But with the system, Jia Jue greatly reduced the time it took to rise to prominence.

Jia Jue was able to have such a luxurious panel because he signed in seven times in the past three years.

The 60,000 loyal cavalry troops under Jia Jue's command were all obtained by Jia Jue by implanting the military spirit of the Beiwei Army.

It was precisely because of the powerful army like the Beiwei Army that Jia Jue was able to penetrate deep into the northern desert and completely quell the Xiongnu rebellion.

Just as Jia Jue was recalling every detail of the past three years and thinking about how to start cleaning up the Ning and Rong mansions, a middle-aged man in black tights came into the room, bowed, and said.

"Secret Guard Zhang Han, I pay my respects to the Lord."

Zhang Han is the commander of the Shadow Guards in Qin's Moon. He and his 1,800 Shadow Guards were obtained by Jia Jue as a sign-in reward a few months ago.

After obtaining the Shadow Secret Guard, Jia Jue ordered Zhang Han to lead the Shadow Secret Guard to split up into small groups and come to the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty to begin establishing an intelligence agency.

Zhang Han's ability is naturally unquestionable. He arrived in Shendu just over a month earlier than Jia Jue, but he had already successfully established the prototype of an intelligence network.

Of course, this is also the result of Jia Jue's unremitting financial support.

After all, intelligence agencies are still very expensive.

Fortunately, when Jia Jue led his army to sweep the Xiongnu tribes in Mobei, he led a loyal army of soldiers who had been implanted with the military spirit.

The Xiongnu tribes in Mobei have been plundering the borders of the Great Zhou for many years, and each tribe is extremely rich.

After Jia Jue led his army to defeat these tribes, he intercepted a lot of spoils, which was equivalent to at least five or six million taels of silver. This provided him with the financial resources to support the expenses of Zhang Han's secret guards.

After seeing Zhang Han, Jia Jue smiled slightly and said.

"Excuse me, Zhang Han. What do you want to report?"

Zhang Han said respectfully.

"My Lord, I have received news that Wang Xifeng, the legitimate daughter of the Wang family and betrothed to Jia Lian, the eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion, has departed from Jinling by boat and is expected to arrive in the Divine Capital in five days."

"The Rongguo Mansion has already set a date for their wedding, which is the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month."

Jia Jue said after thinking for a moment.

"It's the eighth day of the twelfth month. Today is the twenty-second day of the twelfth month. There aren't many days left."

"Okay, great."

"If I don't send a big gift to Rongguo Mansion, I will really feel sorry for them."

"Zhang Han, when Wang Xifeng comes to the capital, she will definitely stay at the home of Wang Ziteng, the governor of the Beijing camp, and then marry directly from the Wang family."

"So, send someone to monitor the Wang family as well. Every move of the Wang family must be under control."

Zhang Han nodded and said.

"Don't worry, my lord. Zhang Han understands."

Jia Jue said with a slight smile.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, let's get down."

"Subordinates retire."

After Zhang Han left, Jia Jue also began to think.

In short, there is no way Jia Jue will allow Rongguo Mansion to marry this daughter-in-law home safely and securely, don't even think about it.

After thinking about it, Jia Jue had a rough plan in mind.

In the afternoon, after settling down simply in the mansion, Jia Jue ordered someone to prepare a carriage, and then he rode in the carriage to Yuqing Temple in the suburbs of Beijing.

Half an hour later, in the back hall of Yuqing Temple, a beautiful woman with elegant and graceful appearance knelt down in front of a tablet in the hall and began to worship.

The beautiful girl is named Sheng Minglan, and she is the sixth daughter of the Sheng family.

After the worship was finished, Sheng Minglan went to the two tablets next to her and worshipped again. After the worship was finished, the maid Xiaotao beside her said indignantly.

"Girl, he's been faking his death for three years now, and he hasn't sent you a single letter. If we hadn't seen him after returning triumphantly to the capital, we would have all thought he was dead."

"He treated you like this. For the past three years, every time you came to pay respects to me, you also paid respects to his parents. You're obsessed with him. It's really not worth it."

Sheng Minglan said after hesitating for a moment.

"Don't say that. He has his own difficulties. He just doesn't want to implicate me."

"Okay, let's go."

Just as the master and servant were about to leave, a handsome young man in a brocade robe walked in from outside the palace gate. It was Jia Jue.

The moment she saw Jia Jue, Sheng Minglan couldn't help but shed tears.

Jia Jue looked at Sheng Minglan, his eyes filled with tenderness and guilt.

Jia Jue quickly came to Sheng Minglan, and the two looked at each other in silence. Sheng Minglan was already in tears.

Xiaotao, who was standing by, was comforting Sheng Minglan while looking at Jia Jue with some resentment.

"Master Jia, no, it should be General Jia now. You were dead, how did you come back to life?"

Jia Jue looked at Xiao Tao helplessly and said.

"Xiao Tao, it was wrong of me to fake my own death and escape, but I really did have my reasons."

Xiaotao said angrily.

"I don't know what your difficulties are. I only know that even when you were expelled from the Jia family, our girl did not despise you and was willing to marry you."

"But you, without making any noise, faked your death, causing my daughter to cry day and night. She has been depressed for the past few years."

"And now you're back again. You're the type of person I've ever met."

Sheng Minglan said after pulling Xiaotao's hand.

"That's enough, Xiaotao, stop talking nonsense."

"My Lord, I have failed to discipline my daughter properly. I hope you will forgive me."

"Xiao Tao, let's go."

After hearing this, Jia Jue felt very uncomfortable, and then he pulled Sheng Minglan and said.

"Minglan, I..."

After Sheng Minglan struggled twice, she really couldn't get free, so she could only speak with her head down.

"My Lord, you are now in a high position, powerful, and successful. If you continue to flirt with a concubine's daughter of a minor official like me, it will inevitably cause criticism and damage my innocence. Please let me go."

Sheng Minglan also had resentment towards Jia Jue. He was obviously not dead, so why couldn't he tell her about it? It made her heartbroken.

Jia Jue did not let go of her hand, but held Sheng Minglan's hand tightly and said.

"Minglan, I came here this time to pay my respects to my late father and mother, and then tomorrow I plan to go to the Sheng family to propose marriage."

"What happened before was really complicated. Please listen to me and let me explain it to you slowly, okay?"

Sheng Minglan sighed and said.

"Okay, my lord, I'm not a child anymore. Don't try to deceive me with these words."

"You are now the dignified Marquis of Guanjun and the Grand General of the Imperial Guards. How could you marry the concubine's daughter of a fifth-rank official as your legal wife?"

"Or does the Marquis intend to make me your concubine?"

It's no wonder that Sheng Minglan is so pessimistic. Generally speaking, when discussing a marriage, the first condition is naturally that the two families are of equal social status.
