The Red Chamber: My Stunning Confidante with a Variety of Styles

Night, capital.

One street away from Jia's Mansion, Sanhe Winery.

boom!
Ji Zhong slammed the wine glass on the table heavily, with an extremely gloomy expression.

For Jia Jue, he has long regarded him as his friend and sister-in-law.

But now, Zhao Qi wanted him to surround Jia's house, which greatly exceeded his expectations and exceeded his psychological bottom line.

He was thinking, hesitating, what kind of choice he had to make.

Once he helped Jia Jue and made everyone in Jia's house escape, his own future would be over, and he would even have to face the court's arrest and pursuit.

But if he doesn't help him, Jia Jue's family members, sisters and confidante may all die.

He knew very well how much Jia Jue valued his sisters and confidante, and if something happened to them, it would be a huge blow to Jia Jue.

This put him in a dilemma, extremely tangled.

But as time passed, he gradually had an answer in his heart.

A flash of determination flashed in his eyes, and he was about to get up.

But at this moment, a man walked into the wine shop and sat in front of him:

"My lord, the brothers have all settled down, and they have completed the encirclement of Jia's mansion. As long as your lord gives an order, Jia's mansion will never be left behind."

The one who spoke was Du Hao, the Commander of Jin Yiwei.

"En." Ji Zhong responded lightly, his eyes a little unnatural.

Du Hao looked at him, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it in one gulp.

"My lord, I am also an old man of Jin Yiwei. I know what to ask and what not to ask. But at this moment, there is something in my heart, but I can't say it quickly." Du Hao put down his cup and said to Ji Zhong.

Ji Zhong glanced at him: "Speak."

"Yu Gong, Mr. Jia is a second-rank official, Mr. Rong Guo, who has repeatedly made extraordinary achievements and benefited the people. In private, Mr. Jia and our Jinyiwei have cooperated with each other for several times. Every time we have been honored by Mr. Jia, we have achieved a lot. Less benefits. But why do we have to act like this at this time?" Du Hao asked.

Hearing this, Ji Zhong felt even more depressed. He drank another glass of wine and said unhappily, "How do I know about such things?"

Jia Jue's life experience is top secret, only a very small number of people know it, and outsiders have no way of knowing it.

Even the grievances and grievances between Prince Fei and Zhao Qi are only known to some high-level people or those related to the incident.

They have no idea what's going on.

Du Hao glanced at him, and asked again: "My lord, when shall I do it?"

"Are you in a hurry to do it?" Ji Zhong asked impatiently.

"Of course not." Du Hao was stunned for a moment, then gave a dry laugh, and then quickly poured wine for Ji Zhong, "Drink, drink."

Ji Zhong raised his head and drank the wine in the cup.

Du Hao had a drink with him, a flash of determination suddenly flashed in his eyes.

"My lord, I have a top-secret matter to report to your lord." He approached Ji Zhong and said.

Ji Zhong nodded.

Du Hao leaned close to Ji Zhong's ear, and said softly: "Master, you and I have worked together for many years, thank you for your protection, but, this time, brother will not let you down."

Ji Zhong was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly felt something was wrong, he subconsciously wanted to avoid it.

But before he could move, he was punched hard in the stomach.

The severe pain caused him to bow his body involuntarily, however, blows followed one after another.

Du Hao's fist hit him directly in the face.

Ji Zhong suddenly stared at the stars, and fell to the ground involuntarily.

When he came back to his senses, he found that Du Hao had bound his hands and feet.

"Old Du, are you crazy?" Ji Zhong couldn't help shouting.

Du Hao sighed lightly: "My lord, if I were crazy, I'm afraid that this kind of thing would never happen."

"Do you know what you are doing?" Ji Zhong shouted.

"I know." Du Hao nodded, "I know that my actions will surely destroy me."

"Then why are you still doing this?"

Du Hao glanced at him: "Just because Mr. Jia is kind to me, I can't just sit back and watch the Jia family suffer."

Ji Zhong was stunned, he never expected that Du Hao would attack him for this reason.

He wants to seize power and let the Jia family go.

This is how the flood rushed into the Dragon King Temple!

"No, listen to me..." He hurriedly wanted to explain the situation.

But before he finished speaking, Du Hao blocked his mouth with a rag.

"My lord, I'm the one who's sorry for you this time, take care!" Du Hao said to Ji Zhong, then turned and walked towards the door.

"Woohoo!" Ji Zhong wanted to stop him, but he couldn't speak, he could only watch Ji Zhong walk to the door without looking back.

But in the next moment, the mutation reappeared.

Du Hao who opened the door ran into someone head-on.

Liu Tian.

Liu Tian looked at the scene of the door, and suddenly changed his color. He shouted at Du Hao:

"Dare to attack Shangguan, take it down!"

Because he was traveling at night, he was followed by the imperial guards.

Immediately, several imperial guards rushed up and pushed Du Hao to the ground.

Du Hao's face was ashamed, it would be great if he could sacrifice to save Jia's mansion, but who knows, he died before he could finish his mission.

He didn't even go out the door of the tavern before he was caught.

"Master Ji, I have caused you to suffer." Liu Tian said to Ji Zhong after he untied him.

"Thank you Mrs. Liu, Du Hao..." Ji Zhong wanted to intercede for Du Hao.

Liu Tian interrupted him: "Lord Ji, we know you have a good heart, but Du Hao's move has crossed the line, so I can only ask His Majesty to make a decision."

Ji Zhong was silent, he wanted to help Du Hao, but he couldn't find any way.

"Master Ji has an order to order Jin Yiwei to station around Jia's mansion, to protect the safety of Jia's mansion, so that nothing will be lost!" Liu Tian said to him.

what?
Hearing this, Ji Zhong and Du Hao looked at him in astonishment.

Especially Ji Zhong, he almost suspected that he had heard wrong, Zhao Qi let him surround Jia's mansion in a murderous manner before.

But after such a long time, it's not about destroying Jia's mansion, but protecting Jia's mansion?
This, the reversal is too big.

Naturally, Liu Tian would not explain the reason to them, he just repeated the order and left, leaving a few guards to guard Du Hao, waiting for Zhao Qi's punishment.

Ji Zhong looked at his back, then at Du Hao who was being held aside, feeling extremely depressed.

If I knew it would end like this, why should it be like this!

Du Hao smiled at Ji Zhong: "My lord, as long as Mr. Jia is safe, even if I die, I can rest in peace."

His crimes are not small, ranging from exile to severe beheading.

Therefore, he has made a conscious decision to die.

Ji Zhong was heartbroken, he brought a flagon and a wine glass, and drank dull wine with Du Hao.

After the two drank the third jug of wine, Liu Tian left and returned.

Liu Tian looked at Du Hao and Ji Zhong, and read out an imperial decree:
"There are two people, Ji Zhong and Du Hao, who are on duty for drinking and making trouble. Each of them will be held responsible for thirty sticks."

what?
Both Ji Zhong and Du Hao were stunned, no one thought that Zhao Qi's punishment was so light, only [-] boards, and no other punishment.

What does it mean?
But before they finished being surprised, Liu Tian said again:

"Du Hao is loyal and extremely brave. From now on, he will be promoted to the commander of Jinyiwei. Ji Zhong works diligently and has worked hard with me for decades. He has worked hard and made great achievements. He is specially promoted as the admiral of the Nine Sects."

The faces of the two were shocked when they heard this, and they almost thought they were drunk.

Zhao Qi just fined them [-] boards symbolically, and then promoted them all to officials.

This, what happened?
Ji Zhong was shocked and realized: Isn't the admiral of the Nine Gates Jia Jue?How did it become his?
He hurriedly looked at Liu Tian, ​​waiting for his reply.

"Your Majesty has his own arrangements, you just have to stick to your heart." Liu Tian showed a secretive expression.

The two looked at each other, and quickly said: "We will be loyal until death."

Liu Tian approached the two of them and said in a low voice: "Remember, your majesty is not the only one you want to be loyal to."

Both of them trembled in unison, and looked at Liu Tian dumbfounded.

A seemingly absurd idea appeared in their minds.

Du Hao stammered and said:
"No, it won't."
