Red Mansion: Incense and God Road, starting from the City God of Shenjing

Chapter 41: Dark Night, White Lotus Causes Trouble
As soon as he finished speaking, all the imperial edicts present were counted.

All of them looked at him with envy and even jealousy.

The Queen's praise of the Jia family's girl in person was like an endorsement.

With these words.

Even if someone wants to plot against the Jia family in the future, they will not dare to take advantage of the reputation of the Three Sisters.

Otherwise it would be against the royal family.

This is the "gilded" status that countless daughters of the rich and powerful dream of.

That alone is not all.

A token that allows free entry and exit of the palace.

The jade pendant worn by Queen Zhou obviously had extremely important significance and was given as a gift.

The hidden meaning behind this can be guessed without much thought.

"Your Majesty, this is too expensive." Yingchun was about to refuse subconsciously.

Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Queen Zhou, who pulled his hand and smiled.

"This is my sincere gift. If you are still polite, it will be alienating."

"The elders give it to me and I dare not refuse it."

"Yingchun thanks your Majesty!" After hearing this, Yingchun accepted it.

"That's right, come and sit next to me."

"When I saw you today, I felt that we were very compatible. Please come to the palace more often to talk to me when you have nothing to do in the future."

As she spoke, the queen ordered someone to place a chair below her.

Like an elder, he kept asking Yingchun about her daily interests and hobbies.

What do people usually do in the Jia Mansion?

The atmosphere in the colorful tent and curtains remains the same.

However, the focus of the noble ladies present had unknowingly shifted to the girls from the Jia family.

……

Midnight
Everyone was exhausted after a long day, except for the patrolling soldiers from the Beijing camp.

Most people in the camp were already asleep.

But at this moment, something unexpected happened.

"A vacuum hometown, a birthless mother!"

"When the world is in chaos, Maitreya Buddha will be born!"

"The White Lotus descends to the earth, and the people rise up. The Red Sun is over, and the White Sun will be born!"

"Kill the dog emperor!"

The deafening shouts of killing suddenly rang out, breaking the silence of the camp.

"Here it comes. Sure enough, it's either midnight tonight or the early morning of the last day."

"A normal person would think about the last morning, but why did they do the opposite?"

"White Lotus Sect, interesting!"

In the tent, Jia Cong opened his eyes.

The earliest origin of the White Lotus Sect is no longer traceable.

Extremely mysterious.

It combines Buddhist rituals and takes a different approach, and is famous for its ability to bewitch people.

Every time it appeared, it caused chaos in the world and even participated in the iteration of dynasties many times.

All dynasties have labeled it a cult and tried every means to suppress it.

But it is like weeds, which can never be cut off.

When Emperor Taizu of Daqian was in power, he summoned masters from all over the world to encircle and suppress the rebellion.

"Where are Zhang Li and Zhang Mang?"

"My subordinate is here!"

At the command, two underworld gods, the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced, appeared.

"Guard this place well. You can show your ghostly form when necessary. Take my second sister and the others away first."

After leaving a word, Jia Cong stretched out his hand.

The splitting sword flew into his hand, and then he left the tent.

At this time, not only the camp, but the entire West Mountain was in chaos.

In the distance, deafening shouts and cries of killing were heard from the direction of the outermost Beijing camp, and it was immediately known that they were being restrained.

There were at least three thousand White Lotus followers nearby, sneaking in from nowhere.

His eyes were bloodshot and his head was wrapped in a white cloth.

The weapons in his hands were also varied, and it was obvious that they were made with forbidden techniques or secret medicines with serious side effects.

Overdrawing potential and even vitality in advance in exchange for an explosion in a short period of time.

At this time, there were only a thousand patrol officers and soldiers stationed near the camp of the Beijing Camp, and they had been killed and retreated step by step.

In addition, balls of white flames kept coming from the distant sky, landing in the camp and igniting a fire.

The camp is now in chaos and the situation is critical.

"There's someone here, kill him!"

As soon as I walked out of the tent, I saw a group of White Lotus Sect rushing towards the tent of Sanchun and several other girls.

"Humph!"

Jia Cong snorted lightly, stretched out his hand and pointed, and more than a dozen sword energies flew out.

In an instant, more than a dozen White Lotus sect members were slaughtered.

"Da da da!"

Just at this moment, the sound of horse hooves rang out, and the ghost soldier commander Wang Er led 72 ghost soldiers to form a formation and attack.

When he saw Jia Cong, he dismounted and saluted.

"Greetings, Your Excellency!" Hearing the voice, Daiyu, Sanchun, and Xiangyun bravely left the tent.

"Brother Cong..."

"Second sister, go back and rest for a while. I'll come back after I kill these people."

Jia Cong turned his head and nodded slightly, his tone was calm, but there was an indescribable sense of security.

Then he said to Wang Erdao.

"Guard this place well and follow Zhang Li's orders for now. Anyone who dares to approach will be killed without mercy!"

"promise!"

The ghost soldiers responded in unison.

……

There was a crisp sound of "clang".

The Spectral Sword was unsheathed and floated beside Jia Cong.

After determining the direction, Jia Cong headed straight for the big tent in the center of the camp.

When they arrived near the big tent, they found that the situation was even more critical.

Thousands of the most elite members of the White Lotus Sect gathered here. Not only did they use forbidden secret medicine to overdraw their lives, they even wore complete armor.

There is no difference from the regular army.

They attacked the tent where Emperor Shunde was without fear of death.

Most of the Dragon Guards around Emperor Shunde have been killed in the battle, and only a few acquired-level generals are still struggling to hold on.

Guarding the door of the tent.

In the sky, there were several figures fighting each other.

One side, wearing black cloaks embroidered with golden and white lotuses, relied on their numerical advantage.

It was obvious that the offerings from the palace brought by Emperor Shunde were at a disadvantage.

You can only fight back, but not counterattack.

"go with!"

Seeing this, Jia Cong stretched out his hand and nodded.

Five divine powers burned, and the divine light of the splitting sword bloomed.

The sword lights were layered, cold and terrifying.

All the White Lotus members who were involved would be turned into meat paste in an instant.

"Oh no, this Daqian monster knows magic!"

"Ah, help!"

"Blessed by the Mother of No Life, I am invulnerable to swords and guns, and immune to water and fire!"

The White Lotus sect members, who were originally in high spirits and seemed to be invincible, were defeated by Jia Cong's sword energy.

Suddenly there were screams.

The dense formation was in chaos.

Not long after, the elite White Lotus troops who were besieging the camp were killed by Jia Cong.

"Uncle Ziyi, come and protect me!"

Xia Shouzhong, who was guarding Emperor Shunde closely, was overjoyed upon seeing this and shouted loudly.

"Jia Cong pays respect to His Majesty!"

"No need to be polite. Fortunately, Uncle Zi Yi is here today."

Some civil and military ministers also gathered around Emperor Shunde, while the empress and several ladies of honor hid in the big tent.

Seeing Jia Cong coming, he was obviously relieved.

"Mr. Ziyi, His Majesty has long discovered that the White Lotus Cult is planning a rebellion, and he is afraid that too many people will be killed or injured in the city of Shenjing."

"That's why we set up a trap to lure out the evildoers from the White Lotus Sect."

"I just didn't expect that the other party would send a Dharma protector and four Ming Wangs this time..."

Taking this opportunity, Xia Shouzhong stepped forward and told the whole story.

"But fortunately, the Divine Martial Guard is only ten miles away, and the news has been passed back to Shenjing City. Reinforcements will arrive in a quarter of an hour at most."

"A quarter of an hour?"

Jia Cong suddenly sensed a slight unusual fluctuation.

He frowned and looked up at the sky.

"I'm afraid these White Lotus monsters won't give Your Majesty a quarter of an hour..."

……

"Hahaha, Zhang Chongyang, you old immortal, half of your body is already buried in the ground, and you are still willing to be a running dog of the court. You have disgraced Longhu Mountain!"

"Today is the day you fall!"

Above the sky, the Right Protector of the White Lotus Sect was wielding a lotus-shaped magic weapon, from which an endless supply of white lotus holy fire gushed out.

Lighting up half the sky, fighting one against three, and still having the upper hand.

"I, the old Taoist priest, follow the order of the Heavenly Master to protect the Dragon Court. How can I be ashamed of this?"

"Fan Ruoming, you, a rat from the gutter, actually dared to show up after being stabbed by the Heavenly Master thirty years ago."

"The Divine Guards and a few fellow Taoists will arrive within a quarter of an hour. Let's see who will die today."

Opposite the Right Protector of the White Lotus Sect, a jade ruyi appeared behind the head of the old Taoist who was practicing spirit cultivation from Mount Longhu, blocking the Holy Fire of the White Lotus within ten feet of his body.

"Humph, how could I not see through the dog emperor's trick of using himself as bait!"

"Why do you think I brought the Holy Fire White Lotus, one of the three great treasures of the Holy Religion? I have been waiting for this moment!"

"The White Lotus is reborn, and Maitreya is born!"

"Blood Sacrifice, start!"

……

There is one more update. I was writing it during the day and suddenly I started to have a high fever again. I feel irritable... Does anyone know how to avoid the flu? I have had three waves of flu since the beginning of the year and I haven’t avoided any of them... I got infected with all of them, with a high fever and a cough.
