Jia Cong led his troops and rushed to the north gate.
Li Biao saw Jia Cong coming and rushed to greet him.
"Sir, my subordinates have already asked the generals here and the soldiers guarding the city. From their descriptions, those people should not have left the city yet."
Jia Cong said: "Those people have been captured by me, and Baoyu has been rescued. There are still a group of people outside the city. You can go with me and wipe them out."
Li Biao said: "Yes, I will obey."
The group of people rode out of the city and headed for the woods ten miles away.
Li Biao followed Jia Cong on horseback and couldn't help but ask: "Sir, how did you catch him so quickly?"
】
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Those people are under our surveillance. If they don't act, we won't be able to determine their identities. If they act, they will be exposed.
They robbed Baoyu and happened to be seen by our people, so I took people to deal with them. According to their account, there were seven or eight people who went ten miles away to set up a trap. Our target was them. "
Li Biao smiled and said: "What a coincidence this time, those intelligence officers have made a great contribution."
As he spoke, he arrived at his destination.
Looking at the forest in front, it was actually two or three miles in size and connected to the hillside behind. It took some effort to go in and find people. Fortunately, I brought more people with me this time.
"Leave a team of people to guard the horses and roam around the outside of the forest to prevent the people inside from escaping. The others will follow me in to arrest them. If they resist, they will be killed directly. There is probably a trap in the forest. Everyone should be careful when entering."
Everyone said in unison: "I honor your order."
Leaving a group of people behind, the others all dismounted, quickly dispersed, distanced themselves, and entered the woods.
Qingwen said: "Sir, just wait for the news outside. We can just go in."
Jia Cong thought for a while, there were seven or eight people on the other side, and more than 60 people had entered here. He was more than capable of dealing with them, so there was no point in going in by himself.
"Okay, I won't go in. You should be more careful."
Several people nodded, turned around and disappeared into the woods.
Jia Cong asked the remaining team to be divided into two teams and patrolled back and forth along both sides of the forest to prevent anyone from escaping.
After just a cup of tea, I heard shouts in the distance.
Someone escaped from the woods and was fighting with the patrollers.
After a while, Li Biao led everyone back and brought back eight corpses.
"Sir, there are eight people in total. They were all killed and their bodies were brought back."
Jia Cong nodded. In this way, the two groups of troops sent by Hong Tai had been wiped out, and he was completely relieved.
Wait until we go back and see if Tie Zhu and the others can find out who is messing around.
If he is found, he must be dealt with properly. How dare you offend me? I really don't know how to write the word "death".
"Bury these bodies on the spot. Once we're done with them, we'll return to the city."
"Yes, my subordinates know."
Li Biao agreed, took the people down, threw the body directly into a trench, and then buried it.
After processing, everyone rode back to the city.
······
Back at Ningguo Mansion, Yuanyang and Xiren helped him take off his armor.
After freshening up a little and changing into regular clothes, he went to Jia Mu's room in Rongguo Mansion.
At this time, there were only Aunt Xue and her daughter, Lin Daiyu and Sanchun sisters in Jia Mu's room. They were all more concerned about Jia Cong and stayed here to wait for news about Jia Cong.
Mrs. Wang went to Baoyu's yard. Seeing that Baoyu was fine, Jia Zheng returned to his study.
Jia Lian returned to the construction site of the Provincial Courtyard. Wang Xifeng, who was also busy with a lot of work, also left. When the others saw that everything was okay, they also left.
Everyone was relieved to see Jia Cong back.
Jia Mu said, "Brother Cong, are you not injured? Have all those people been caught? What do you plan to do with them?"
Jia Cong said: "Don't worry, old lady, my grandson is not injured. All those people have been dealt with, and no fish has slipped through the net."
Mother Jia laughed and said, "That's good. I didn't expect you to solve everything so quickly. It's really impressive. Even the old lady admires you a little."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "It's a coincidence that these people happened to be under my surveillance. They tied up Baoyu and were discovered by my people. After I received the news, I led people to raid their home. So it’s a lot simpler.”
Aunt Xue smiled and said: "Oh, this is such a coincidence. Just like what the picture book says, no coincidence will make a book."
Jia Mu also smiled and said: "No, there really are such coincidences in this world. If I hadn't encountered it in person, I would have thought it was a storyteller."
Lin Daiyu said: "Brother Cong, how could it be such a coincidence? Why are you spying on those people?"
Jia Cong said: "I suspected that those people were spies of the barbarians, but there was no evidence. I was afraid that I would be wrong, so I kept sending people to keep an eye on them. If they didn't take action, I really couldn't be sure. This is called the French Open. Huihui, sparing but not missing."
Xue Baochai said: "Brother Cong is really foresight, otherwise Brother Bao will definitely suffer more."
Yingchun said: "Brother Bao seems to be fine. He was probably just shocked."
Jia Cong said: "Brother Bao is fine, but he is a bit weak-tempered and must have been frightened. He will be fine after a while of rest."
The few of them talked for a while, and seeing that Jia Mu was a little depressed, Aunt Xue took Baochai and left.
Mother Jia said to sisters Lin Daiyu and Sanchun, "You go and play in Miss Lin's room while I talk to Brother Cong."
Several people looked at the two of them, agreed and left.
Seeing that there was no one in the room, Jia Mu asked, "Brother Cong, tell me the truth. Is Baoyu really okay? Has he not been embarrassed by them?"
Jia Cong thought for a while and said: "Old lady, I led those people out and asked two men to go in and rescue Baoyu. The men told me that Baoyu was a little slovenly and he must have been aggrieved.
I was afraid that he would see that I couldn't save face, so he wouldn't go in. I would have someone clean it up for him and then send him back. This is not a big deal. He and Qin Zhong were also from Nian Nian Huhu before, so the old lady doesn't need to worry too much. "
Jia Mu understood as soon as she heard this. Just as she had guessed, her Baoyu had really been wronged, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of discomfort in her heart.
He said angrily: "How could those beasts who killed a thousand swords do that to Baoyu? Did you kill them all?"
Jia Cong nodded and said, "Well, we killed them all. There were more than twenty people in total. No one was left alive. This can be regarded as venting Baoyu's anger."
Jia Mu said: "That's all. Fortunately, Baoyu is fine, which can be considered a great blessing among misfortunes. Don't tell anyone about this matter. Just pretend it didn't happen."
Jia Cong said: "Don't worry, old lady, I know what to do."
Jia Mu waved her hand and said, "You can go too. I've been working hard all afternoon. I'm frightened and I'm a little tired. I need to take a rest first."
Jia Cong said: "Old lady, then you should have a good rest. I will come to see you another day."
After coming out of the old lady's house, Jia Cong came to Lin Daiyu's room.
The sisters were joking together. When they saw Jia Cong coming, they quickly called him over.
Tanchun asked: "Third brother, what did the old lady say to you, and she kicked us out and refused to let us listen."
Xichun said: "That's right, it's mysterious, and it definitely doesn't mean anything good."
Jia Cong stretched out his hand and flicked her forehead, and said with a smile: "Even the old lady dares to arrange it. She is getting more and more courageous. She is almost catching up with Yun Yatou. What good things do you want?"
Xichun smiled and walked over to Jia Cong and sat down next to him.
"I'm not as brave as Sister Yun. Brother, you haven't said what the old lady said when she left you."
Jia Cong said: "It's not a big deal. I just asked me if Baoyu had been wronged and asked those people about the outcome. That's all."
Tanchun said: "Third brother, you did a great job. You rescued Brother Bao in such a short time. It's really amazing."
Lin Daiyu said: "Three girls are right. Brother Cong, your efficiency in doing things is too high. If I had known this, I would have followed to see the excitement."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "But pull it off, how could I let you go when the old lady is here? There is nothing interesting about this kind of scene. It is just a fight and killing, bloody and bloody. If you really want to see it, you will definitely be uncomfortable. If you don’t, you will definitely vomit non-stop.”
Lin Daiyu said with a look of disbelief: "Really or not, don't scare us on purpose?"
Jia Cong said: "Of course it's true. When they get to the battlefield, those recruits who go to the battlefield for the first time, kill for the first time, or see the tragic scenes after the war, will vomit so much that some of them can't eat for several days. Serve the meal.
There are broken limbs and broken arms on the battlefield, heads are everywhere, corpses are everywhere, and blood is everywhere. Think about this scene, can you really bear it? "
When Yingchun heard this, her face turned pale with fright. She covered her chest and said, "Brother Cong, stop talking. It's scary."
Jia Cong laughed dryly, forgetting that there was a timid person here.
This second sister is cowardly and cowardly by nature. She accepts everything and doesn't know how to resist. She is born to be bullied.
Thinking about her fate in the original work, I can't help but sigh.
The son is a wolf in Zhongshan, and he will run rampant when he succeeds.
The golden boudoir flower and willow quality will last for a long time.
At that time, the Jia family was defeated and no one could support Yingchun. Sun Shaozu had no fear of the Jia family at all. He humiliated and tortured Yingchun at will. He was really worse than a beast.
I hope this guy doesn't hit his hand, otherwise he will be unable to take care of himself for the rest of his life.
"Forget it, let's not talk about it. If it scares you into having nightmares, you will probably have to blame me again."
Lin Daiyu said: "Tsk, how can I be as timid as you said? This heroine is not intimidated."
Xichun giggled and said: "This heroine is not scared."
Seeing their arrogant looks, I wanted to punish them.
Aren't you afraid? Tell them a story about painted skin, but I don’t know if they’re afraid?
I remember when I was a child, I was so frightened that I didn’t dare to go out at night after hearing the story of Huapi. I didn’t even dare to watch the movie about Huapi in the village.
Later, when I got older, I watched the Huapi TV series and changed a lot, but I didn’t find it scary at all.
Jia Cong said with a wicked smile: "How about I tell you a story? Do you want to hear it?"
Xichun said happily: "Okay, okay, I like to listen to stories the most. Brother, you haven't told me a new story for a long time. Please tell us one soon."
Tanchun said: "Third brother, you really haven't told a new story for a long time. I want to hear it too."
Lin Daiyu looked at Jia Cong's expression and felt a little confused. Why did she feel that Brother Cong had some evil intentions? Could he be making fun of people again? Immediately he pricked up his ears and listened.
Jia Cong cleared his throat and began to speak.
"There was a scholar named Wang Sheng. He went out to play with his classmates and friends that day. In a forest, he met a beautiful woman. Wang Sheng fell in love with her at first sight. Regardless of the objections of others, he took her home with her. At home...
Later I met a Taoist priest who said he was haunted by evil spirits...
Wang Sheng was dubious. At night, he quietly came to the woman's window and peeped through the crack in the window.
What do you think he saw? "
It didn't sound like much to them at first, but as they listened, they felt their scalps tingling and their hearts tingling, and they all involuntarily moved closer to Jia Cong.
Now when I heard him ask the question back, I couldn't help but feel something in my heart, and I asked unconsciously: "What did he see?"
Jia Cong continued: "I saw an ugly and ferocious ghost with a green face, teeth as jagged as saw teeth, and a bloody mouth. He was lying on the table to draw a human skin. The shape of the human skin was exactly That beautiful woman.
Wang Sheng trembled with fright. He didn't expect that what accompanied him day and night was actually an ugly evil ghost. The more he thought about it, the more he became afraid...
The evil spirit dug out Wang Sheng's heart and swallowed it with open mouth..."
Xichun said "Ah" and immediately threw herself into Jia Cong's arms, hugged his neck hard, buried her head on his shoulder, and did not dare to raise her head.
Jia Cong quickly stretched out his hand to support her, feeling a pain in his arm.
Turning around, he saw Yingchun's two hands tightly grasping Jia Cong's arms, leaning against him tightly, feeling a slight tremor.
No, it's not dark yet. Is it that scary?
Tanchun grabbed Jia Cong's other arm and said, "Third brother, did you tell such a scary story on purpose to scare us?"
Lin Daiyu snorted and said, "Brother Cong did it on purpose. At first I thought he was trying to make fun of people, but it turns out he wanted to scare us. It's really too much."
Yingchun's face turned pale, and she reached out and tapped Jia Cong's forehead.
He said angrily: "Brother Cong, you are really evil. Telling such a horrible story is really scary. Do you want to scare my sister to death?"
Jia Cong laughed and said: "It's just a story, and it's not true. You just take it as a joke. Don't you all take it seriously? It's all made up. Just listen to it and enjoy it."
Xichun said: "Brother, I don't want to hear such scary stories anymore. It's really scary. I like hearing stories like before."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Weren't you very brave just now? Now you will know that you are afraid."
"Hmph, bad brother, I'll ignore you."
