Brother Jia Sheshu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 43 The Father and Son Meet

Jia Yuan thought to himself that my life was over, and suddenly the peace amulet on his chest was hot, and a thunderbolt struck them directly.

Looking at the thick sky thunder, Jia Yuan was dazed and froze. When he thought about it, he should have died when he was rescued. The family has been safe for 20 years, but he never expected that he would die under the lightning strike!

It's not that Jia Yuan is conceited, he thinks that although he is not a good person, he has never done anything to offend the Jin Dynasty, so why did he die under the lightning strike?

Thinking that the good work of saving his family would turn into a long-lasting stigma, Jia Yuan had the urge to vomit blood.

Not only him, but even Emperor Pingkang had a look of despair. As an emperor, he was more superstitious than ordinary people. A little misfortune might have something to do with the emperor's immorality, and the court forced him to commit crimes every day. Jizhao, to put it bluntly, he would rather be cut to pieces than be struck by lightning.

Just when everyone was about to close their eyes and wait for death, Tianlei split into several strands in an instant, and turned a corner, as if the president had long eyes, barely avoided the guards and personal soldiers, and went straight to the Jurchen assassin , the Jurchen assassin was caught off guard and was struck by lightning, and the Jurchen assassin fell to the ground in an instant.

Jia Yuan and the others froze, facing the Jurchen assassin who had been struck by lightning, they looked at each other in blank dismay, they didn't know that it was the person who came back to his senses, knelt down on the ground, and shouted long live.

For a moment, there was thunderous cheers in the barracks, and everyone seemed to have won the battle.

Emperor Pingkang couldn't stop laughing from ear to ear. Although the true man is blessed by ghosts and gods, it is better than what he saw with his own eyes. Emperor Pingkang laughed loudly: "Good! Good! Good!"

He helped Jia Yuan up with his own hands and said with a smile: "Aiqing is really a blessed general, no wonder the late emperor said that Aiqing is a blessed person."

In the chaos, Jia Yuan immediately stood in front of him. This kind of loyalty and patriotism is really rare.

Jia Yuan was overjoyed, knowing that the matter of his rescue had been seen by the Holy One, he said modestly: "This is a matter of my duty."

At the time when Emperor Pingkang and Jia Yuan were friendly with each other, no one noticed that among the Jurchen assassins who fell on the ground, the leader of the assassins was trembling because he was suddenly struck by lightning, but he was staring at Emperor Pingkang, There was deep hatred in the eyes.

This time they sneaked into the customs all the way, although the historian pointed out a clear way, but after pointing the way, the Shi family let go, even the brother Ma who sneaked into the historian disappeared. It's not so easy to sneak in secondary.

For this assassination, they not only sacrificed many brothers, but even used all the secret lines that their master had laid out in the Jin Dynasty for many years. If it failed, they would not have such a good chance to assassinate the dog emperor next time.

The man became ruthless, bit the root of his tongue forcefully, managed to gather some strength, and threw the short sword in his hand towards Emperor Pingkang fiercely, shouting: "Go to the dog emperor!"

This time the Jurchen Khan really did his best to assassinate Emperor Pingkang. Every assassin was a first-class warrior in the Jurchen tribe, and the leader was Batulu in the Jurchen tribe. Not to mention his military achievements, and It can also kill a wolf with one hand, which shows its great strength.

Jia Yuan has been through the battlefield for a long time. When he heard the sound, he subconsciously pushed Ping Kangdi away, but he had no time to avoid it. When Jia Yuan was about to be crucified, he saw a young child appearing in an instant In front of Jia Yuan, he stretched out his fingers to clamp the blade of the sword, holding down the dagger before the blade pierced through Jia Yuan's armor.

Mo Guzhi clamped the dagger, turned his head to glance at the Jurchen assassin, and said coldly, "I underestimated you."

I thought that under the thunder, these Jurchen assassins would be half disabled even if they didn't die, but I didn't expect this person to have the power to act, but... that's all.

Mo Gu moved his wrist slightly, but within a few strokes he broke the man's tendons and hamstrings. Although he had crippled the man, Mo Gu still couldn't help but threw the dagger with his backhand, hitting the man's shoulder blade directly, nailed to the ground.

Mo Gu snorted coldly, if it wasn't because he was a cultivator, he didn't want to commit many crimes, just because of the fact that this man almost took Jia Yuan's life, he definitely wouldn't just break his tendons.

Jia Yuan stared at the child who suddenly appeared. As soon as he saw the back, Jia Yuan knew that it was Jia Gu. He had raised Jia Gu for several years, and the love between grandparents and grandchildren was not fake.

Just seeing Jia Gu descending like a god, not to mention saving him suddenly, and disabling the Jurchen assassin with a raised hand, he also had a lot of doubts in his mind.Why is my brother still alive?How would it appear here?How did you learn that one-handed kung fu and mysterious agility?And the thunder just now, could it be...

Jia Yuan subconsciously touched the peace talisman in his bosom, but his hands were covered with dust.

Jia Yuan's thoughts moved slightly, and before he could say the old brother, he heard Ping Kangdi softly calling out, "Xiao Liu..."

Although the child was wearing coarse linen clothes, but the eyebrows and eyes were clearly his little Liu'er!

Unexpectedly, even if Xiao Liu became a ghost, he would still protect him by his side. Thinking about trying to put Xiao Liu'er to death in vain, Emperor Pingkang felt guilty, "It's the father's fault, isn't there no protection?" good you..."

Earlier, Mo Zhaoyi cried and complained that he was born as a palace maid and had no reliable natal family. He was afraid that Xiaoliu would not be able to protect him. He thought she wanted to reverse the case for the Mo family and left her cold for several months. If he had agreed to reverse the case for the Mo family, it would be a shame. six will not...

Emperor Pingkang felt very remorseful, took a trembling step forward, and asked, "Are you looking for Emperor Father?"

Mo Gu frowned and turned his head to look at the scumbag who didn't pay attention after shooting, humming, it seems that this guy is not only middle-aged and demented, but also has a lot of forgetfulness, he also has some presbyopia, what little six, he is still a little three.

Nonsence!Suddenly feeling that these words were a bit of a curse to himself, Mo Gu turned his face away, spat in disdain, turned around and disappeared in front of everyone with the ground escape technique.

He didn't intend to go back to Jia's house, and he didn't have much interest in the royal family, but because this scumbag was the emperor after all, he couldn't do anything to the emperor, so he just ran away.

Mo Gu's disappearance made Emperor Pingkang more and more convinced that it was Xiao Liu who rescued him, and he wept sadly, "Xiao Liu..."

The person in this world who understands Emperor Pingkang's thoughts the most is not the empress, nor the concubine Zhen who is most beloved by Emperor Pingkang, nor Mo Zhaoyi who once made Emperor Pingkang feel sorry for him, but Xia Dequan.

Xia Dequan hurriedly stepped forward, wiped away his tears and reminded: "My lord, the sixth prince is filial, and my lord has to take care of the dragon's body."

He glanced left and right and said anxiously: "My lord, this place is not safe, we should go back to the camp as soon as possible."

I don't know how these Jurchens sneaked in. It seems that this northeast land cannot stay for long.

Emperor Pingkang also came back to his senses, "What you said is very true."

He turned his eyes slightly, although he didn't know why Xiaoliu would have such supernatural powers after being a ghost, but with the matter of King Lei Qin, the god descended from heaven, the fact that he personally conquered but returned in vain could be offset. There is nothing like seeing a miracle with your own eyes.

Emperor Pingkang ordered: "Get rid of the camp, and besides..."

Pingkangdi paused, and ordered Xia Dequan in a low voice: "Let someone thoroughly investigate the cause of Xiao Liu's death."

He originally thought that Xiao Liu was dead, and it would be unintentional to continue the investigation, but he just hurt his other son for no reason, so he didn't want to continue the investigation, but after Xiao Liu died, he had this supernatural power and saved his life. It's not easy to turn a blind eye to Xiao Liu's death in vain, or close one eye to fool him.

Xia Dequan was overjoyed, "Yes, this old slave will definitely investigate this matter clearly." The sixth prince has not been there for a long time, it is not difficult to find out this matter, I am afraid that the Holy Majesty does not want to hear it, but now that the Holy Majesty wants to hear it, he will Check clearly.

Xia Dequan narrowed his eyes slightly, no matter who it is, if they really think that he and the Holy Majesty are not in the palace, they can attack the prince at will, they are really wrong.

Just as Emperor Pingkang returned to the camp in a hurry, something strange happened on the front line.

"Report to Your Majesty." The little soldier who came to report was embarrassed, "Master Shi was struck by lightning when he was on the front line, and he was struck dead by lightning!"

"What!?" Everyone was shocked.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, the Holy One had just been rescued by the divine thunder from the sky, and Master Shihou was struck by lightning and died suddenly, could it be that Lord Shihou did something to be struck by lightning?But when everyone thought about Master Shi's kind nature, they felt that it shouldn't be like this.

Shan Guogong, who has always had the best friendship with historians, even asked suspiciously: "Could it be that Shenlei accidentally made a mistake?"

Emperor Pingkang's eyes sank slightly, and he immediately scolded: "Nonsense, how could Shenlei make mistakes."

Yes, Shenlei was sent by Xiaoliu, he would definitely not make a mistake, so this was an accident, or...?

Emperor Pingkang gave Xia Dequan a wink, Xia Dequan understood, and silently wrote down a note in the small notebook.

Shan Guogong couldn't help muttering, "Old Shi's daughter was also struck by lightning a while ago, and now Lao Shi is also struck by lightning. Maybe their Shi family is born to be struck by lightning."

Although Shan Guogong's original intention was to say a few good words for the Shi family, but as soon as these words came out, everyone invariably moved away from the eldest brother Shi and the second brother Shi Lao. Thinking about it carefully, it is quite possible, otherwise, the Shi family would not have done more to oppress the people than other families, so why does Tianlei always hit his family?

The Shi family brothers felt very embarrassed. They really didn't kneel or retreat, but they were annoyed at the Duke Shan who spoke for their historians.

Emperor Pingkang smiled slightly, he knew that among the four princes and eight princes, the mind of Shan Guogong was the simplest, but he didn't expect it to be so simple.He pondered for a while, whether or not the divine thunder was struck by mistake is another matter, but Lord Shihou is one of the founding heroes, if people know that he was struck to death by lightning, it may not be good for the reputation of the Jin Dynasty.

At present, it is very difficult to come up with the incident of protecting the lord with thunder from the sky to cover up the fact that he has returned in vain from the crusade against the Jurchen barbarians.

Emperor Pingkang thought over and over again, and finally decided to be a taboo for His Holiness, "For Shihou's reputation, this matter will not be rumored for the time being. Quandang Shihou passed away unexpectedly while he was on the front line."

In any case, Master Shihou followed the late emperor to run around here and there, and his meritorious service was in the court, so he should be given some dignity.

Others could do it, Shi Boss and Shi Lao Er were really relieved when they heard the words, and fell to the ground crying, "Thank you for the grace of the dragon."

The two brothers are most afraid of getting involved with 'Thunder'. It is troublesome enough for a sister's place to be struck by lightning. If the father's story is publicized, the two brothers don't need to meet anyone.

"Go down!" Emperor Ping Kang sent the two brothers back with a wave of his hand, "Shi Hou passed away unexpectedly, you two brothers should also help the spirit to return to the capital, anyway, the war is going to rest for a while now, you two brothers should calm down and observe your filial piety."

What Emperor Pingkang meant was that he was not going to rob the two Shijia brothers of love.

The two Shijia brothers felt helpless. They kept their filial piety for three years. After three years, how would His Majesty remember their Shijia?Besides, if my father died in this way, I am afraid that historians will really decline in the future.

Although it was annoyed, but the Jin Dynasty put filial piety as the most important thing, so the two brothers dared to say something, and obediently asked someone to arrange for Fu Ling to return to the capital.

Although many things happened in one day, the Holy Majesty still set out to return to Beijing according to the original plan. Although the battle in the Northeast was fruitless, everyone saw the thunder from the sky with their own eyes, which is enough for everyone to boast about. It's been a while, and as for Shi Houye's tragic death by lightning, because the Holy Majesty wanted his reputation to be suppressed, it was not very well known.

As soon as the Holy Majesty left, Jia Yuan felt like a deflated ball. He became depressed and had a fever that night. Jia Yuan's soldiers hurriedly brought the medicine prepared by the imperial physician anxiously, "Old Master, what is this?" The imperial physician personally fried it, saying it can reduce heat and detoxify."

Jia Yuan frowned and drank the medicine in one gulp, and asked, "How are the other injured people doing?"

This time it happened suddenly, most of the guards and personal soldiers did not have swords in front of the imperial court, and quite a few people were injured.

"The imperial doctor is taking care of it carefully, don't worry about the old man." The young man took the medicine bowl and advised.

"Yeah." Jia Yuan nodded slightly, still looking over and over again at the items found on the Jurchen assassin.That's all for the rest, but ironware has always been banned by the court. How did these Northeast barbarians get ironware to make swords?

The servant didn't dare to disturb him, so he quietly collected his things and went down.

Jia Yuan murmured to himself: "Could it be that there are some unscrupulous merchants who have stolen and sold ironware?"

Just as Jia Yuan finished speaking, he heard Jia Gu's voice beside him: "These are all made by the Jurchens themselves."

Jia Yuan looked up and said happily, "Old brother!"

Mo Gu quietly appeared in front of Jia Yuan.
