Red Mansion Jia Lan: Do you want to run away tonight to visit your relatives? Chapter 149: Fighting out Cheng Yaojin halfway, not for the Rong family, but for another family
Chapter 149: Fighting out Cheng Yaojin halfway, not for the Rong family, but for another family
The opponent obviously didn't expect that Cheng Yaojin, who had already planned the attack, suddenly came out and offered a buy-one-get-one-free deal. Two sharp archers appeared in one breath!
The other party was stunned by Jia Lan and Feng Ziying. After coming back to his senses, he could only scream and glare at Jia Lan before leaving.
"Haha, it's so refreshing!" Feng Ziying took a long breath, held the bow firmly in her hand, and looked at Jia Lan with some admiration: "Brother Lan, it's okay! Your archery skills are extraordinary, just the continuous arrow you just shot
, it’s okay to take the martial arts exam!”
Jia Lan held his bow horizontally, his eyes still wandering around the battlefield, pretending to be relaxed: "It's not because you, Feng Dalang, are by my side that I have the confidence! That string of arrows just now was definitely a skill, it's already
This is my limit, look at my hands..."
Feng Ziying took a closer look and saw that Jia Lan's wrist holding the soft bow was shaking slightly, which was obviously a sign of slight weakness. Looking at Jia Lan's face turning slightly pale, she immediately knew that he was somewhat weak, so he clapped his hands and stepped forward: "Here below
Whose family are they? I think the leader is the banner of Concubine Rong’s family. Do you know them?"
"Concubine Rong?"
Seeing Jia Lan's confused look, Feng Ziying said curiously: "You don't know Concubine Rong, so why are you taking action in such a hurry?"
"Dalang, could you please help me raid the formation?" Jia Lan did not answer Feng Ziying, but just rode down.
The mountain road was in a mess. Except for Jia Lan and the other two who were shot with bows and arrows, there were servants and maids who were also chopped to the ground by bows and arrows or with knives everywhere. All of these people had fatal wounds on their bodies, and their aura had been completely wiped out. One
All of them are dead.
Jia Lan came to a car driver, got off his horse, and asked softly: "Is this the sixth girl from the Sheng family in the car?"
It was quiet inside, with no response.
"In Jia Lan, Rongguo Mansion, I have a family heirloom that can testify..." Jia Lan said loudly, taking off the jade pendant from his body and slowly passing it in along the gap under the car door curtain.
Soon, the curtain of the car was opened, and someone poked his head out and met Jia Lan's eyes.
"Miss Six." Jia Lan smiled at the person who poked his head.
Although he had restrained himself very well, there was still some evil spirit left on Jia Lan's face at this time. Although he was smiling, it was still seeping through people. Sheng Minglan was a person with keen senses. She was shaken by the murderous aura and her head suddenly trembled.
After a while, the world was spinning and I fell out of the car, and was immediately embraced by Jia Lan.
At this time, two more people came out of the car. One of them, Jia Lan, recognized him as Ming Lan's maid Xiao Tao. The other was obviously the master's child from the clothes he was wearing. He was older than Ming Lan and had a childish look on his face.
The eyebrows look weird.
Seeing Minglan being hugged, she said "Ah", then lowered her face and shouted: "Little thief! Not yet..."
When she was about to continue, Xiao Tao covered her mouth: "Miss Fifth, you misunderstood. This is Xiao Xie Yuanlang from Rongguo Mansion."
I met the naive Xiao Tao a while ago, and this time she reacted quickly.
When Jia Lan saw Minglan's look, she guessed that the aura on her body had frightened her. She quickly restrained herself and gave Xiao Tao an appreciative look. She raised her hand and put Minglan back in the car, and then looked at Xiao Tao again.
The woman called "Fifth Miss" gave a gift.
The woman was embarrassed, so she briefly introduced herself.
It turns out that she is Sheng Rulan, the fifth daughter of Jia Lan's master Sheng Hong's family.
Her appearance is somewhat similar to Minglan's, with a rather friendly face, but compared to Minglan's restrained appearance, this fifth lady is more heroic and outgoing.
Before the two of them could chat for a few words, there was the sound of horse hoofbeats. Jia Lan's expression changed slightly, and he quickly asked Ru Lan Xiaotao and others to hide in the car, then got on the horse and stared into the distance.
At the foot of the mountain, a group of knights swept over, but the sight was blocked by the woods and the specific situation could not be seen clearly.
Looking from afar, I saw flags waving, but I didn’t know whether it was an enemy or a friend.
"Langeer!"
Feng Ziying also saw this group of people, her face gradually became serious, "These people are not easy to mess with."
He turned around and took a look and whispered: "If there is anyone you know in that car, you and I can just carry each other on their backs. If we don't leave, it will be too late."
Jia Lan's expression turned gloomy. Obviously Feng Ziying was right, and now it's time to make a decision.
After pondering for a moment, his eyes inadvertently glanced at the killed attackers on the ground, and his eyes condensed slightly.
"Dalang, what did you say about Concubine Rong just now?"
Feng Ziying was a little confused, but she immediately explained: "Concubine Rong is the emperor's most beloved concubine. Her family was originally a military commander's family. Because a queen was born in the family, she was favored by the emperor and made some military exploits.
, so he was given the title of Uncle Chang Ping, who was not a knight, and was transferred to the Palace Front Division as the commander."
After a pause, he was afraid that Jia Lan didn't hear clearly, so he added: "For real!"
Front Secretary! Real deal? Jia Lan understood instantly and understood the subtext of Feng Ziying’s words.
The front office of the Great Xia Dynasty was very complicated. Sometimes it was just an empty yamen, but sometimes it was very powerful. Basically, it all depended on the emperor's personal love and the ability of the commander.
In the Five Dynasties of the Later Zhou Dynasty, the Palace Front Division selected the elite of the Forbidden Army to garrison the palace, commanding various squads such as golden spears, crossbowmen, dragon flags, archers, scattered cavalry, hooks, and outer halls.
If the commander is incompetent, or is just here for gold plating, the emperor will usually select a capable deputy to assist, and the so-called chief officer will be just a nominal one.
But if you are an effective commander...
Jia Lan probably had an idea while thinking about it. He called Feng Ziying to drive his horse forward and said something.
"I bet this group of people running towards us now are real army officers!"
The team of knights soon arrived in front of Jia Lan and Feng Ziying. The leader was a bearded man wearing dark gold armor. When he saw the two men, he reined in his horse and stopped everyone behind him with a wave of his hand.
He saw that Jia Lan was wearing the attire of a scholar, while Feng Ziying was wearing bright clothes and angry horses. The two of them were holding bows in their hands. Such a strange combination.
What concerned him even more was what was behind them.
It was quiet, except for the occasional cry of family members, there was no other sound.
Jia Lan and the two looked like they were busy, but he could see that the two of them were always in a state of looseness on the outside and tight on the inside. With their slightly drooped fingers, they could take arrows from the quiver beside the saddle and bend the bow to shoot at any time.
"Rongzhong, the official of Qianhu in front of the lower hall, dare I ask the names of these two distinguished people?" He cupped his hands and announced his name.
"Brother Lan, it looks like it's true." Feng Ziying tilted her head slightly and said, "This Rong Zhong is the younger brother of Uncle Chang Ping. He doesn't like to socialize, so most people in Beijing only know his name. However, I once attended Rong Fei.
I’ve seen this person on the polo field where I was watching, and I can’t mistake him for it.”
"That's good..."
Jia Lan was waiting for Feng Ziying's confirmation, so he slowly put down the soft bow in his hand and cupped his hand: "I'm Jia Lan, Rongguo Mansion!"
When he smelled that the person in front of him was Jie Yuanlang, who had been rumored a lot in recent days, Rong Zhong's originally tense face gradually relaxed and his mouth was half open.
