Three hundred and four: retreat

Jia Jing was startled when she heard this, and quickly and quietly pulled down her cloak. When she looked back, she saw Daiyu looking at him with a confused look on her face.

No matter how thick-skinned Jia Jing was, she couldn't help but turn a little red. She could only cough twice and said: "It's nothing. I just woke up and was a little confused. Why are you still here?"

Daiyu smiled, hesitated for a moment and then said: "I'm afraid that the second brother forgot to eat." Jia Jing was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then smiled and said: "That's good, just wait for me, I'll wash up, you

Come have something to eat with me later."

Daiyu nodded, and Jia Jing turned around and entered the room. Qingwen was not there, only Xiangling was blushing and struggling to carry a bucket and pour water into the wooden bucket.

Seeing this, Jia Jing hurriedly stepped forward, took the bucket from Xiang Ling, and poured it into the wooden bucket. Xiang Ling stepped back nervously, bowed her head and saluted, "Master, are you awake?"

Jia Jing nodded and then asked doubtfully: "Why is it just you? Where is Qingwen?" Xiangling twisted the corner of her clothes and said: "Sister Qingwen said that I was about to wake up, so she went to the kitchen to prepare food, and I will

Let me heat some hot water."

Jia Jing was stunned for a moment and smiled and said: "Qingwen...sister? You seem to be older than her?" Xiangling scratched her head in confusion and said: "But sister Qingwen came earlier than me."

Jia Jing smiled and gave this little confused girl a headache and said: "There's no need to call her sister, I don't talk about those messy things in this house!"

Xiang Ling nodded timidly, and Jia Jing stretched out her hand to touch the water, and then asked with confusion in Xiang Ling's nervous eyes: "Why is it still so hot?"

Xiang Ling said: "I was afraid that the water would be cold when I woke up, so I kept boiling water here." Jia Jing was stunned for a moment, looked at Xiang Ling who was slightly out of breath, and couldn't help but said in shock: "You were always here when I was asleep.

Boil water? Heat water when it’s cold?”

Xiangling nodded sheepishly and smiled like a silly roe deer: "It's all the girl, Miss Bao ordered."

Jia Jing couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "What a silly girl! How tired will it be? Miss Bao means to tell you to wait until I wake up before boiling water! If I don't wake up for a day, you will have to move around and boil water all day long."

Isn’t the water good?”

Xiangling's smile slowly disappeared, she lowered her head and said sadly: "I'm sorry..." Jia Jing smiled and said: "What's there to be sorry for? Just don't be so stupid next time!"

"

Xiang Ling nodded sheepishly, and then said: "I will wait for you to take a bath!" Jia Jing glanced at Xiang Ling in surprise, and then smiled and said: "I don't need anyone to take a bath, so you can go and have a rest!"

Xiangling was a little shy at first, but she just remembered that someone said that when you serve the young master, you also have to wait for him to bathe and warm the bed, so she mentioned it. Since Jia Jing didn't need her, she was relieved, and she didn't want to wait for Jia Jing to bathe...

...

Xiangling hurried out after hearing the words. Jia Jing couldn't help but feel funny. He also saw what Xiangling meant, but this silly girl was too good at hiding it, right?

So Jia Jing shouted angrily: "Don't forget to prepare new clothes for me." Xiangling paused, turned around and nodded to Jia Jing, then "flyed" out with light steps.

Jia Jing took off her clothes neatly and lay down in the hot wooden barrel. The hot water bottle surged all over his body, and Jia Jing couldn't help but relax.

Leaning his neck on the edge of the barrel, he couldn't help but exhale slowly as he watched the steaming heat rising up. His whole body seemed to be floating in the clouds.

It's just that such moments of relaxation are obviously rare, and Jia Jing will have to think about business again after a while.

After what happened last night, Jia Jing is bound to become a world-renowned existence. It is foreseeable that Jia Jing will soon face his first test as an "adult".

Apparently most of Hong Zhi's ministers were already aware of Jia Jing's threat, so Jia Jing estimated that he would go to Jiubian in a few days, but he didn't know where he would go.

Jia Jing hopes to go to Liaodong. Although Liaodong is a bitter and cold place in the minds of the Central Plains people at this time, Jia Jing knows what kind of treasures are hidden in the white mountains and black waters!

It is indeed cold, but the people of the Central Plains have not yet figured out how to survive there. If everyone could clearly understand Liaodong, they would not leave even if they were driven away!

Not to mention the rare treasures all over the mountains and plains, the local local products are extremely rich in ordinary products. It is a real "stick to beat the roe deer and the gourd to scoop up the fish, and the pheasant to fly into the rice pot"!

Jia Jing understands the value of Liaodong better than anyone now. This vital black land selflessly raises her children. If developed properly, the food it can produce every year is no less than that of Huguang!

If he can fully develop Liaodong, then Liaodong will also serve as an extremely important base for him. Even if something unspeakable happens in the future, Jia Jing will be able to retreat calmly!

In the future, when it is necessary to retreat, retreating north to Liaodong is also a way out! Withdrawing from the customs, reinforcing troops, recuperating, and waiting for the opportunity! The Jurchens can take the opportunity to break into Shanhaiguan, why can't I?

Going to sea is indeed a way out, but this road is very difficult and dangerous, and it basically means bidding farewell to the throne...

Nowadays, unless you cross the ocean and go straight to Europe, it is actually no different from being exiled... The living conditions overseas are too harsh. It is even harder to survive overseas than in Liaodong or Southeast Asia!

Moreover, Jia Jing may not necessarily have the strength to carve out a niche overseas. Even if she did, how many people would be willing to follow her?

Liaodong can also think about it. As a landlocked people, we are naturally indifferent to the sea. How many people will be willing to follow you and become the island owner on which island? It will be frustrating and frustrating!

It's easier said than done to really build a small island and a country on your own! It's not like Dayan has no control over the nearby seas!

And if you choose to stay away from Dayan, the further away you are from Dayan, the more difficult it will be to start a business! Besides, if you really go to sea and stay away from Dayan, it will basically mean bidding farewell to the throne!

Everyone will only gradually forget about you, and with the shortage of supplies and human resources, you will not be able to accumulate strength to counterattack the mainland. As time goes by, you will only fall into a vicious cycle!

When everyone has forgotten about you, if you counterattack, you will become a clown from other countries and invade our empire, making an enemy of the entire Yan Dynasty? You would not seek death like this! Then you will really only

I can be a barbarian king overseas!

Therefore, going to sea is definitely only a last resort to save life. Before that, Jia Jing's first choice of escape route is Liaodong! Once something goes wrong in the Central Plains, he will immediately withdraw from Shanhaiguan and consolidate his forces to counterattack the Central Plains!

If you occupy Liaodong, you can always keep an eye on the Central Plains. This is the best way to retreat, and you still have a chance to fight! In other words, retreating to Liaodong and waiting for a good opportunity may not necessarily mean that you will not have the opportunity to take over the Central Plains.

The second way is to go south to Annam-Siam, destroy the kings of these countries, and integrate the power of Southeast Asia. This way is not bad, but it is estimated that after reaching this point, it will be very difficult to counterattack.

The third way is to imitate the original principal. At this point, he basically bids farewell to the throne. He can live in a corner for a while and then be recruited, so that his descendants can become princes. Dayan does not have the leisure time to deal with this.

Of a small island.

The last way is that you can't even reach the island, so you can only choose to escape by sea. This is the most difficult and the most failed way to choose.

Jia Jing hopes that she can be transferred to Liaodong so that she can develop her own power in Liaodong openly. However, if it is not Liaodong, it is not impossible, but some efforts will be wasted.

Wait until the spring of next year to send people from Qiankun Gua to Liaodong to build the front station first, and then send Ye Shi to supervise the renovation in person. With the help of the Jia family's several Zhuangzi development in Liaodong, there will naturally be another one in a year or two.

What a weather!

This is also one of the reasons why Jia Jing has been suppressing Wu Jinxiao from the Jia family. This old man is very suitable to be the leader!

Maybe he could even set up a few arms factories in Liaodong behind Emperor Yongxi's back! Although Jia Jing didn't study mechanics and didn't know much about things like iron smelting, Jia Jing knew a lot of firearms suitable for this era!

Thanks to his current memory, he can even draw sketches of them! He knows many kinds of modern weapons that are suitable for this era, weapons that do not require high steel and have amazing lethality.

Wouldn't it be in vain to contribute to Emperor Yongxi? Do you want to do Duoba Shi in Liaodong? Jia Jing sighed as she thought about it. As long as the founding fathers have someone to live up to, they can control where they go and they won't be so passive!

But that's all. If there was someone who could compete with Hong Zhixun, Emperor Yongxi wouldn't help Jia Jing!

Before going to Jiubian, you have to make arrangements for both houses. At the very least, you have to make sure that no one will cause trouble for you while you are away from Shenjing.

You also need to pay attention to the matter of the leader of the personal soldiers. You must resolve this matter before going on the road, otherwise it will be really dangerous on the road or there!

Jia Jing had a headache and wiped his face with water, and some of the methods he had recently deployed... at least before he hit the road, he must eliminate all these worries!

Jia Jing yawned. She couldn't soak in the hot bath for too long. Jia Jing smiled bitterly and shook her head. Now when she is free, all she can think about is these things!

Jia Jing stood up and dried herself with a towel. Then she saw the clothes Xiang Ling had put on the hanger at some point. She couldn't help but smile. This girl is so silly and cute. Why didn't she say anything when she came in?

Jia Jing put on her red-bottomed gold-embroidered peony round collar and arrow sleeves, and couldn't help but smile and said: "She's quite discerning." Then she went out with her hair disheveled.

As soon as they entered the back hall, they saw Daiyu sitting there with her chin propped up in a daze. Jia Jing stepped forward and said, "Why didn't you go back?"

Daiyu came back to her senses and looked at Jia Jing and said: "I couldn't fall asleep even when I went back, so I thought of resting here for a while, but I woke up before I missed you."

Jia Jing smiled. His sleep time was not short. Daiyu had obviously been waiting here for a long time. How do you say "take a rest"?

However, Daiyu didn't say anything, so Jia Jing didn't care. He sat next to Daiyu, saw that the food had been served, and asked, "Qingwen is back?"

Daiyu nodded and said, "I just left again..." Jia Jing saw that there was only a pair of bowls and chopsticks on the table, and smiled and said, "Didn't I see you coming?"

Daiyu nodded, and Jia Jing smoothed her hair, picked up her chopsticks and said, "I won't wait for you anymore, but I'll starve to death!"

Daiyu couldn't help laughing and spat: "Don't talk nonsense, it's unlucky!" Jia Jing curled her lips and picked up a large piece of bamboo shoots with chopsticks. It was sweet and delicious, and she mixed it with the fragrant rouge rice porridge, and it was a bowl of it.

Daiyu who was watching on the side was shocked.

It was even more funny. Seeing Daiyu laughing non-stop, Jia Jing also laughed and said, "Why don't you leave? Do you have something on your mind?"

Daiyu hesitated for a moment, then shook her head. Jia Jing looked at Daiyu and didn't ask any more questions. If Daiyu wanted to say something, she would definitely tell him. If she didn't want to say it, Jia Jing would never tell her no matter how much she asked.

Jia Jing didn't pay much attention to Yu's personality.

Just burying your head and eating like this, it's just that it's inconvenient to have long hair. In her previous life, Jia Jing thought that long hair was very chic and artistic, but it's only now that she realizes how troublesome this thing is!

Just like now, even if you eat a meal and let your hair loose, you have to take a few bites from time to time, but before you eat a meal, you have to pick it up with your hands first!

When Jia Jing was annoyed, Daiyu burst out laughing, then stood up and said, "I'll tie it up for my brother."

Jia Jing said with a smile: "No need to bother, just join the group!" Daiyu said with a smile: "If you want to do something else, I won't!"

After saying that, she pulled out a hairpin from her head, put her hair on top of Jia Jing's head with her hands, rolled it into a ball, and inserted it with the hairpin.

Jia Jing wiped her hair, and Daiyu clapped his hand angrily: "It's all oil!" Jia Jing smiled bitterly. Qingwen outside the door happened to see this scene and immediately hesitated whether to take it or not.

Went in.

If it turned out to be true, she was really happy to see it happen. She liked Miss Lin very much, but after Miss Bao came, Qingwen fell into a deep tangle!

In terms of temperament, Qingwen likes Daiyu very much, but Miss Bao is also very nice! It is obvious that Baochai has completely convinced Qingwen after what happened last time. Even Qingwen thinks that this is what a mistress should be like!

But Miss Lin is also very good! Her temperament and temperament are very suitable for Qingwen, and Miss Lin is also a very good person. Moreover, Miss Lin is still young now, so she may not be worse than Miss Bao in the future!

But Miss Bao...

Qingwen was almost confused, as if there were two villains arguing crazily next to her ears, one was Miss Zhan Lin, the other was Miss Zhan Bao, and the two villains were about to fight! What a happy distress!

Jia Jing didn't know that Qingwen was confused for him. He touched the hairpin and said with a smile, "Let me see what you used to tie it for me!"

Daiyu quickly grabbed his hand and suppressed a laugh: "Don't move! You've broken it!" Jia Jing intuitively felt that Daiyu was playing a prank, but seeing Daiyu cover her mouth and smile, she could only helpless.

He lowered his head to eat.

At this time, Qingwen realized what she was doing and walked in with a smile: "Master, are you awake?" Jia Jing nodded and said, "Why weren't you in the room last night?"

Qingwen smiled and said, "You're talking about that! We were all drunk and didn't know where we were going. Xiangling and I sent the girls to the fourth girl's room to sleep. When we came out, we were both sleepy.

Fell asleep in the fourth girl’s room.”

Jia Jing snorted twice and said: "I spoiled you all yesterday! You even drank in my room!"

Daiyu smiled and said: "I only saw you telling me this, but I didn't see you scolding them!" Jia Jing said with a smile: "I will scold them in a while!"

Qingwen stepped forward and laid out the bowls and chopsticks for Daiyu. Daiyu originally had no appetite, but seeing Jia Jing eating happily, she felt a little hungry, so she picked up the chopsticks and ate some with Jia Jing.

After the two of them finished eating, Jia Jing clapped her hands and said, "Let's go, I'll take you back. I just have some free time today, so I can give the old lady a treat!"

Daiyu then laughed and said, "Why do you have to be free today? Weren't you still busy for so long yesterday?" Jia Jing laughed and said, "It is precisely because you were busy for so long last night that you have free time today!"

Then Jia Jing said dissatisfiedly: "Tsk, this seems to make me unfilial. When have I not taken the time to pay my respects to the old lady?" Daiyu curled her lips.

Jia Jing stood up and walked outside. Daiyu quickly stopped her: "You! You just went out like this?" Jia Jing asked doubtfully: "What's wrong?"

Daiyu hesitated for a moment, still wondering: "You, you should return the hairpin to me." After Daiyu said this, Qingwen looked at the top of Jia Jing's head. Only then did she realize that Jia Jing actually had a hairpin on her head.

Just a golden step!

Qingwen couldn't help laughing. Jia Jing glanced at Qingwen, and then at Daiyu who was smiling apologetically. She raised her head and said, "What's wrong? I don't believe it. Why do you want me to have this thing?"

How can it not look good when you wear it on your face?"

After saying that, he actually went out like this. The anxious Daiyu hurriedly chased after him, but she didn't stop him anymore. She just watched the golden steps on his head swaying, and couldn't help but laugh.

"Why haven't you finished washing it yet? Do you really think you are still in the Queen Mother's palace? Wash it for me!"

"Oh, Aunt Li, how dare you talk to this person like this? She is a serious female official and a celebrity around the Queen Mother!"

"Bah! Is it her? A pheasant with two hairs on it really thinks he is a phoenix!"

"Oh, this person needs to be self-aware. It's not your place and you have to sit in it. What's that called..."

"Germany is not worthy of it!"

"Hey! That's right! This slave will do the despicable things that your slave should do! If he concentrates on drilling upwards, I'm afraid I'll knock you to death!"

Yuanchun listened to the two nuns' strange comments with an expressionless face. When she moved into Yeting again, she knew that she would have to go through such a journey, but she didn't expect it to be so difficult this time.

She had been washing clothes all night, and her delicate hands had blisters. The blisters broke again, and now there is no more blood.

At first, the heart-pounding pain could make her frown, but now she was numb, she just pursed her lips tightly and allowed these people to humiliate her.

Yuanchun also suffered from these things when she first entered the palace, but at that time she felt that these things were nothing and she could just grit her teeth and get through it. But now, Yuanchun feels that she may not be able to survive it anymore...

After the Emperor fell ill, the Queen Mother had a bad temper recently. She often punished the palace people, and sometimes she might have to kneel for a long time even for small things.

Yuanchun has always been impeccable in his work, and his honesty and honesty are very popular with the Queen Mother, which makes Yuanchun more and more favored by the Queen Mother.

Once a person goes higher, stumbling blocks will inevitably appear...

Yuanchun was tripped. She didn't blame anyone else but herself for not being careful enough. But she also had no hope. The Queen Mother didn't even say when she could go back!

Yuanchun worked hard to wash his clothes. The two nuns could not go out in the palace for most of their lives. They hated the young and beautiful little palace maid the most. Yuanchun had bullied her a lot when he first entered the palace.

Later, Yuanchun went to the Queen Mother's Palace. They were probably afraid of Yuanchun's revenge when he became rich, so they tried every means to bribe Yuanchun. Yuanchun didn't take them to heart at all, so naturally he wouldn't make things difficult for them.

But obviously not everyone is as kind as Yuan Chun. These two nuns are obviously the kind of people who run rampant when the villain gets their way. Unfortunately, Yuan Chun fell into their hands again!

Yuanchun had washed clothes all day and night, but the clothes were not missing at all. The two nuns kept collecting more dirty clothes, and eventually even some obscene clothes were brought over for Yuanchun to wash!

Yuanchun's face was pale and there was no trace of blood on her forehead. From last night to now, Yuanchun had not eaten a grain of rice or drank a drop of water! Her lips had even started to turn white and the skin had exploded. She was almost at her limit.

"Please be more agile with your hands and feet!"

A thorn hit Yuanchun's back, and Yuanchun's eyes that were about to close suddenly opened. A stinging pain spread throughout her body, stimulating her exhausted nerves.

Yuanchun tried his best to stand up and put the clean clothes in the bucket. Then he gritted his teeth and moved them to the side to dry. As a result, when he stood up suddenly, his head was spinning and he felt light-headed. After a burst of stars in front of his eyes, he fell to the ground.

The clothes that had been washed fell to the ground and were covered with sand and dust. How could the two nuns spare Yuan Chun when they saw this? They came forward with whips and thorn sticks and beat her head and face!

Yuan Chun quickly blocked his head, but received several blows on his forearm, which was instantly soaked with blood. The nanny gritted her teeth and cursed: "Xiao Lang Hoo! Are you pretending? I let you pretend! I let you pretend!"

"What kind of lewd thing do you dare to hide from? Who are you trying to seduce with your face protected? Put your hands down! Let's see if I don't scratch your face, you harmful vixen!"

Yuanchun was immediately frightened and began to struggle desperately. However, he was too weak, not to mention the strength of these two nuns. Yuanchun couldn't struggle and got up to run away.

How could those two women get what she wanted? They chased and beat them with whips, and cursed: "Slutty hooves! Shameless things! You dare to run away? I'll beat you to death." !”

Yuanchun was in a panic and didn't pay attention to his steps. He accidentally tripped over a raised brick and fell to the ground with a scream!

Unexpectedly, there happened to be a table in front of him. Yuanchun couldn't avoid it for a moment, and his head hit the corner of the table!
