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

Chapter 92: Tin is a ritual vessel!
"Cong'er, is the Kong family's apology this time intended to do something bad?"

Baochai, who had been silent until now, asked softly.

"A thousand-year-old family, the leader of Confucianism and Taoism."

"When has Sister Bao ever seen the Kong family give in to others?"

Jia Cong took a deep breath and pieced together the clues in his mind.

"If you are here only for Kong Chengxi, I will hand him over to the royal family when I return to the capital."

"The Kong family sent people to Beijing. Can the royal family still refuse the face of the Duke of Yansheng's Mansion?"

"Cong'er, what do you mean?"

Upon hearing this, Baochai also realized that something was wrong.

The apology just now seemed generous, but think about the Kong family's overbearing style of behavior in the past.

It doesn't look like something the Kong family could make at all.

"First of all, the Kong family should have a backup plan to deal with me, but they just need time to prepare."

"Secondly..."

"Just now, Kong Yanliang was too excited when he saw me agree."

"Although Kong Chengxi is the next Duke of Yansheng, there are so many members of the Kong family, can't we find a suitable successor?"

"Seung Seok... Seung Seok..."

"Tin is a ritual vessel!"

"Since ancient times, any traitor who wanted to usurp the throne had to first be granted the Nine Gifts as a show of respect."

"It was my negligence before."

Jia Cong said this and pointed with his hand.

Hundreds of divine powers burned, evolving into the power of sealing.

Blessing on Kong Seung-seok.

Directly increase the sealing power on his body tenfold.

"Since the other party is already plotting against me, I'll kill them one by one and weaken them a little bit, so as not to let the tiger go back to the mountain."

After saying this, he burned ten more divine powers.

The shadows of Kong Yanliang and his group appeared and flew away into the sky carrying with them a majestic literary aura.

Baochai's eyes were full of admiration as she looked at Jia Cong from the side.

Change to normal people.

When the Kong family came with such a generous gift to apologize, he had already been blinded by fame and fortune.

Only Jia Cong can keep a clear mind at all times.

See the hidden danger behind this scene.

Not to mention talent, this kind of character alone is rare in the world.

"So that means the Hongru breakthrough experience is also fake?"

Coming back to her senses, Baochai said with some regret.

"No, since the other party wants to paralyze me, then Hongru's thoughts must be true."

"Whether it's true or not, you gave me a copy of Hongru's breakthrough experience for free."

"Let's go, Sister Bao!"

……

"General, a few people claiming to be spies from the Imperial Guard just asked to see you on the road that the army must pass through."

As soon as the two men returned to the center of the army, Ma Ruyue rode forward to report.

"Jinyiwei?"

“Bring it here and let me see it!”

"promise!"

After a while, several young men disguised as refugees were brought over.

The leader had a heroic look on his face.

"Zuo Shiwen, a captain of the Shandong Jinyiwei, pays homage to the Purple-Robed Marquis."

"Captain Zuo, why did you come to see me?"

"My Lord, I have been ordered to come and meet you and report the situation in Shandong that the Royal Guards have discovered."

……

half an hour later
"You mean that the Shandong camp has been breached, and except for Dongchang Prefecture, the remaining five prefectures are infested with White Lotus bandits?"

After listening to the report, Jia Cong pondered.

The rebellion in Shandong was more serious than previously thought.

The White Lotus Sect deliberately led the bandits to break up into small groups.

The White Lotus rebels and bandits, large and small, numbered nearly 10,000 or as few as two or three thousand.

The number of people wreaking havoc in the six prefectures exceeded one million.

Virtual and real.

No one knows where the main masters of the White Lotus Sect are hiding.

This is even trickier than just coming together.

"My Lord, the Jinyiwei have learned that most of the White Lotus rebels in Qingzhou have gathered in Qingzhou City."

"There are about 160,000 to 170,000 people."

"The only defenders in the city now are the defeated soldiers from Shandong Camp, the Qingzhou City garrison, and the two nearby garrisons that have withdrawn." "There are only 40,000 defenders, and the situation is critical."

"In addition, His Majesty ordered the Marquis to find out the true strength of the Shandong White Lotus rebels as soon as possible."

"Three hundred thousand rebels from Jeju Prefecture have already marched north, heading straight for the capital."

……

"Cong'er, map!"

Baochai, who was standing by, handed over a map upon hearing this.

If we talk about the biggest gain from this rebellion, Jia Cong was not the one who benefited the most.

But it was Xue Baochai.

Seeing that Jia Cong was not very interested in the trivial matters of marching and deploying troops, Baochai would sit in on the military affairs in the tent every night when the army was stationed and the military staff handled military affairs.

Talk less and remember more.

I have benefited a lot over the past few days and am now able to assist Jia Cong in handling some chores.

Besides, the strong are respected in the army, so don’t look down on Baochai just because she is a woman.

The strength of the Xue family's dragon girl is so great that it can be said to be feared throughout the south of the Yangtze River.

Now he has become the second most important figure in this army, only after Jia Cong.

Very high prestige.

Jia Cong took the map and Baochai continued to help Jia Cong analyze it.

"This place is still one hundred and fifty miles away from Qingzhou City."

"If the army marches quickly, it will take two days to arrive."

"But if we lift the siege of Qingzhou Prefecture, the 300,000 rebels in Jinan Prefecture will head north and threaten the capital."

"Save Qingzhou Prefecture first."

In just a few breaths, Jia Cong made the decision.

"Qingzhou City is located at the hub of Shandong's main roads. If we bypass the city, we should take the small road quickly."

"The march is slow and may delay us further."

"If the rebels outside Qingzhou City react and chase us from behind, we will be attacked from both sides."

"Shenjing City has many powerful people, and it is not something that can be shaken by a mere 300,000 rebels."

After saying this, he looked up and said to the captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

"Captain Zuo, please report back to the capital for me. I know everything about Shandong. Once we lift the siege of Qingzhou, the army will head north!"

"Subordinate to obey!"

Zuo Shiwen rose to the position of a captain in the Jinyiwei at a young age and came from an extraordinary family.

Upon hearing this, he told his men to mount their horses and leave without saying a word.

……

After seeing Zuo Shiwen off, Jia Cong looked at the map for a moment.

Then he looked up and gave the order.

"Ma Ruyue, pass on my order. The army must march quickly and reach Qingzhou City within two days."

"Hou Jingyun, you must lead the cavalry and set off immediately. You must arrive outside Qingzhou City by dusk tomorrow."

"I obey my orders!"

"Sister Bao, please follow me and go to the outside of Qingzhou City to see what the situation is like."

"The impact of the last killing has not yet been resolved."

"Unless it is absolutely necessary, do not attack ordinary people this time."

Jia Cong said to Baochai again.

Whether it is martial arts, Taoism or Confucianism.

Except for a very small number of martial arts that require killing.

Most practitioners will not attack mortals recklessly.

Otherwise, if you kill too much in a short period of time, it will at best affect your mind and delay your practice.

In serious cases, one may become possessed, lose his intelligence, and become a monster that only knows how to kill.

This is also the reason why the White Lotus masters always act crazy.

On the battlefield, attacks and killings between masters are indispensable.

But more of it was killing between ordinary armies.

And Jia Cong's understanding is even more profound than that of other cultivators in this world.

When conferring titles on ghosts and gods, there was a glorious voice coming from nowhere.

The first sentence says "Life and death, fortune and disaster, cause and effect will have their retribution"!
……

"Cong'er, I'm fine."

Baochai felt Jia Cong's concern and smiled sweetly.

While he was about to hurry on his way, he fell on Dabai and leaned behind Jia Cong.

Dabai shook his tiger head.

He had no choice but to raise the demon cloud again and head straight for Qingzhou City.
