The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

But Jia Cong told Lin Hai in tears that he didn't dare to save him. Lin Hai didn't know how to respond. After a long time, he sighed: "It's all guesswork. I know you must be able to protect yourself."

Jia Cong said: "It's too embarrassing to defile myself for self-protection. I'm even more unwilling to help him regain the world but flee overseas."

Lin Hai snorted and said, "You are not too young, but the world is in chaos now, how much ability do you have? How dare you say that you can turn the tide?"

Jia Cong said: "I know my own ability. If he is a generation of heroes, I can. But he is not. After much deliberation, it is better not to recognize him as the master."

Lin Hai glanced at him: "Who do you want to recognize as the master?"

Jia Cong shook his head, took the opportunity to glance at the two people who were fighting and the two people watching and said: "I don't know yet. Therefore, I will not stay in the capital and hide in the wild island in the south. There Quiet, with few people and few things, I can devote myself to studying and practicing martial arts. After many years, the character, vision, and ability of the kings will gradually be revealed, and most of the counselors and generals they rely on will be clear. It will be decided at that time. Sir, The most truthful saying of the Emperor’s family is that the winner is the king who loses the bandit. The Supreme Emperor first attacked his brothers, and he didn’t want to be defeated if he was inferior in skills, and he was not wronged if he lost.”

Lin Hai thought about it for a long time, and asked, "How sure are you that he is there?"

Jia Cong said: "Not at all, it's pure guesswork."

Lin Hai was silent for a long time, then asked again: "In your opinion, even if he is rescued, the only king in the world will take him in?"

"Besides King Lu, who else needs a father who was an emperor? Which general or lord dares to take in a Supreme Emperor who has lost his throne for no reason? If it is accidentally leaked out, the whole world will attack."

Lin Hai sneered and said, "The whole world will kill the real emperor?"

Jia Cong said: "The whole world is going to attack a certain adult who pretends to be a fake emperor. How many ordinary soldiers have seen the true face of the Supreme Emperor? Who will these people believe? They believe in the enemy country hundreds of thousands of miles away. The leader, or your own prince and general? Do you believe in the words of a certain family, or the words of the kings in the world? Sir, there are many people with loud voices. When all the kings say that he is a fake, he is a fake."

Lin Hai was startled again.

Jia Cong sighed: "If I rescue him and let him pretend to be an ordinary person and spend his life farming and doing business, do you think he will be willing? Or will he go to Chen Wang Lu Wang and others wishful thinking? He will go How long can King Chen Guolu live?"

After a long time, Lin Hai smiled wryly and said, "It seems that he has no way out."

Jia Cong said: "In fact, from the moment he sat on the throne, he has no way out. Even if he is not pushed down by the princes, he will have to exhaust himself to death. Sir, his ability is not enough to carry the country, unless King Yan helps He carried it together. And according to his temperament, it will be a matter of time before he becomes suspicious of King Yan. I saw a pair in the temple before, a monk who beats the clock for a day, eat as much food as he has. If he doesn’t have enough stomach, he must If you eat too much, you will be stuffed to death."

Lin Hai opened his mouth, closed it again, and shook his head.

"Sir, think about it, when he was suspicious of King Yan in the early years, you were chilled."

Lin Hai blurted out: "The king of Yan is really rebellious."

Jia Cong frowned and said, "A dignified Confucian must be reasonable! There is a cause and effect in everything, isn't it? He suspects me and I can run away. Can King Yan run away because of his suspicion? If he doesn't, he will die. King Yan simply forced him to It’s the other way around.” After a while, I couldn’t help but add, “You always know it clearly in your heart, so don’t make excuses for yourself. You can’t convince yourself of the excuses you make.”

Lin Hai made him choke so hard that he couldn't speak a word, and stared blankly for a long time.Jia Cong looked at him aggrievedly, and bowed his head in silence.Lin Hai sighed again and called him to get up.Jia Cong scrambled to his feet, more nimble than Uncle Yang just now, stepped forward and grabbed Lin Hai's arm, giggling.

After a while, the two finally stopped, and it turned out that Uncle Yang's slap had already pinched the man's neck.Jia Cong took a closer look and smiled: "It's you." Yang Erbo's opponent is exactly the starting point. "No wonder Mr. disappeared in the blink of an eye. Did you help?"

At the beginning, he said in a bad mood: "Master Lin was behind the peddler's stall at that moment, but you ran forward like a mallet, and even attracted a group of people to follow in the wrong place."

Jia Cong scratched his head: "I always think that the old man is angry... just run when he sees the way. Why do you still have the spirit to dodge? We are not chasing soldiers."

Started up and said: "He is tired from running, so he squatted down to catch his breath."

... Jia Cong was embarrassed for a long time, looking at Yang Song and giggling.Yang Song couldn't laugh or cry, and said to his second uncle, "One of my own."

Only then did Uncle Yang let go of his hand, and praised: "Little girl is very capable!"

Qi. Dian bowed and saluted: "I have seen Old Senior Yang."

Yang Erbo nodded: "What's the background of this little girl?"

Jia Cong said: "This Chen Siniang was originally a bodyguard we hired, but seeing that she is really skilled, she was wondering if she could dig a corner to pry her over."

Uncle Yang looked at it for a while and said, "It's really good to be young."

Jia Cong said: "If Erbo Yang has the skills, let's go back to the inn for dinner together?"

Uncle Yang said disgustedly: "What's delicious in the inn! Come to my house and eat!"

Jia Cong turned his head to look at Lin Hai, Lin Hai thought for a while: "That's fine. Let someone go back and say something first."

Started up and said: "Since Old Senior Yang came here, I have heard what he said for a while, and I think it is credible. I have already gone out and entrusted someone to deliver the letter to the inn."

Lin Hai praised her for "all corners are perfect", and got up to bid farewell to the old Taoist priest.The old Taoist priest personally sent them out, and the little Taoist priest Yang helped to find a carriage at the intersection. Lin Haiqi and Uncle Yang all sat in it and walked away.Several people ate authentic local dishes at Uncle Yang's house. Uncle Yang was straightforward and funny, and told a lot of folk jokes, which made Lin Hai feel good.It was already late when we returned to the inn. Although Daiyu got the news, she was always in a hurry when she didn't see anyone, and she couldn't help complaining for a long time.

Yang Songyin asked, "Why did you mention Chen Siniang as the name you mentioned earlier?"

Jia Cong said: "Although I have learned some martial arts, I can't see the two of them fighting clearly, but the old Taoist can see clearly. I'm afraid he is a spy of some family, so I dare not tell the truth. Besides, the name Chen Siniang is also correct. , it’s inconvenient to say the girl’s boudoir name casually.”

Yang Song said with a smile: "Too cautious. That is the Taoist Master Zhenming. He has practiced in Tianning Temple for many years. He was there when I was young."

Jia Cong said: "After all, I was kidnapped once, and I am a little timid."

Lin Daiyu recited a Buddha: "Wang Wu has cured your bold temper, and it is considered a good deed."

Thinking of Yang Song not coming home for a long time, Lin Hai ordered to stay for a few more days.But Yang Song couldn't stay still, because Yang Erbo often wanted to coax him into the flower building.Instead, he urged to go quickly.

On this day, everyone got up and went south, Jia Cong went to say goodbye to Xie Jing, and the soldiers outside the city set up their camps and passed through the city.At the south gate of Nanchang City, Uncle Yang was sitting with a bag on his back and a pipe in his mouth chatting with the gatekeeper. When he saw his nephew leading a group of people, he stood up to meet them.

Yang Song and the others got off their horses hurriedly and asked if there was anything else to do.Yang Erbo said: "Anyway, I have collected everything that should be collected right now, and I have nothing to do. I will walk with you."

Yang Song was taken aback: "Are you always...going with us?"

Uncle Yang nodded and said, "I'm afraid you kid is fooling me, I have to keep an eye on you."

Jia Cong and the others couldn't help laughing.Yang Song said in a low voice with embarrassment all over his face, "Second Uncle, stop making trouble."

Yang Erbo said: "Whoever makes trouble, I just can't trust you! I want to follow!" Nai roared, "Brother Lin——Brother Lin——"

Lin Hai got out of the carriage: "Brother Yang!"

"Shall I go with you?" He pointed to Yang Song and said, "I'm afraid this kid is not easy to learn, it's better if I watch from the sidelines."

Lin Hai smiled and said, "Since my brother is willing to go, it's a good thing."

With such a master following him, Jia Cong was naturally eager: "Very, very! We really don't care about Brother Yang. Without you, he still doesn't know how to play tricks and hide away." Because the brother with two horses behind him gave He has one.

Uncle Yang waved his hand and said, "No need for horses. Horses are not as fast as me."

Jia Cong said: "Uncle Yang, there is no such rule that you, an elder, walk, and our juniors ride horses."

Lin Hai also persuaded: "Brother, it's better to ride a horse."

Uncle Yang had no choice but to mutter for a long time and get on his horse.Yang Song stared anxiously, but no one paid him any attention.Cheng Chi, the leader, gave an order, and thousands of people left the city in mighty force.

Because they had to go to see Wang Ziteng first, they traveled all the way south, and indeed passed Ji'an at the foot of Jinggang Mountain.Out of curiosity, Jia Cong asked others about King Shan.

The owner of the inn stretched out his thumb and praised: "The Wan Da Wang on Jinggang Mountain is really from the Liangshan Mountains. He acts on behalf of the heavens and eliminates violence and peace! All corrupt officials and rich and unkind local rich people will launch troops to attack. Distribute his wealth to the poor people around him."

Jia Cong rolled his eyes: This trick was originally prepared by the young master to come to Japan, why did he use it first?He asked again: "I heard that the king on this mountain is surnamed Xu?"

The boss said contemptuously, "That brat died a long time ago."

Jia Congqi said: "Look at what you mean, but you don't think much of this King Xu? Wasn't his old man a high-ranking official here?"

The boss snorted: "Xu Hong, that dog official! When he was here, he scraped off [-] inches of the land in Jiangxi! I heard from the guest officials that the Guangdong tax on that end was only two or three tenths of ours, and the rest of the tax money It all went into Xu Hong’s own pocket! We burn incense and pray to Buddha every day to curse the Xu family’s descendants!”

"I see." Jia Cong nodded repeatedly.Because he went back to the house and told Lin Hai and the others one by one, he then asked Uncle Yang if this was the case.

Uncle Yang shook his head and said: "Master Xu was really taxed in those years. Fortunately, our family was engaged in the business of green forests, and the money was not a problem. Ordinary people who live honestly and earnestly live in hardship. This section is thanks to Mr. Xie. It's better to come."

Lin Haidao: "So Xie Jing never raised taxes?"

Uncle Yang snorted, "How was he ever clean? It's nothing more than better than Xu Hong." Lin Hai nodded.

Daiyu said: "Since this is the case, if someone wants to take over Xu's soldiers and horses, it will not be difficult, and the people will take it slowly. Xu's children are used to being arrogant and pampered, so they may not be able to suffer the hardship of being a bandit."

Jarvis said: "Officers and soldiers don't have to worry about food, and bandits have to go grab or buy food. In this way, people's hearts are more important than when they were officers and soldiers."

Lin Hai sighed: "When you are a bandit, people's hearts are more important than when you are an officer. How absurd!"

Jia Cong said: "Brother Yaoer's words are true. There is a saying that those who are favored are confident, and the same is true for those who eat the emperor's food. Since there are no military regulations, who cares about the life and death of ordinary people?"

Everyone sighed again and went back to sleep.

The next day when he woke up and was about to continue his journey, Lin Hai hesitated for a moment, then asked Jia Cong, "Do you really know if the Supreme Emperor is on this mountain?"

Jia Cong smiled wryly and said, "Uncle, I have told you countless times how I deduced it! It is pure guesswork! Even if I really guessed it, there are not enough people with such an idea! I have to go back to Lingnan and ask Uncle Wang to transfer When the army came over, Xie Jing had to send him an official document, asking him to assist Yue Province to suppress the bandits. If you were King Yan, would you be heavily guarded?"

Lin Hai thought about it for a long time, and the younger generation held their breath and dared not speak.Only Uncle Yang shouted: "Brother Lin, why are you still in a daze? You packed up your bags and gave you the money and you still don't want to leave? You still have to meet Cheng Xiaozi." Lin Hai had no choice but to get on the carriage.

He just went out of the city gate to meet Cheng Chi, and walked south along the official road for less than an hour, when suddenly there was a square table in the middle of the road ahead, a large teapot and four thick tea bowls were placed on the table, and four tea bowls were placed beside the table. There is a long bench and a tea stove with a copper kettle on the stove, and the kettle is steaming.There is already a person sitting on the east side, wearing a Confucian robe, a crown and a belt, and waving a folding fan.

Jia Cong was the least afraid of the stoma industry, so he opened his mouth and said, "I'll give fifty points to those who pretend to be forced! Those who are in cold weather are not afraid of getting caught in the wind." Uncle Yang's ears were better than those of young people, he could hear clearly, and he laughed.

Arriving in front of Confucian scholars, Jarvis first jumped off his horse and asked, "This gentleman is blocking the middle of the road. Is he robbing or begging for money?" Uncle Yang laughed again.

Jazzont approached his horse and muttered, "Did you hear that? This is Jarvis, the well-known honest man, with a more poisonous mouth than me."

The Confucian scholar waved his fan: "As the saying goes, you can't pass you by when you meet a high-ranking person. I heard that Mr. Lin and two Mr. Jia are passing by here, so I invite you to drink a bowl of tea to quench your thirst."

Jia Cong said: "No sincerity. For one thing, you didn't ask us if we were thirsty. What if we were not thirsty? Besides, if you want to invite us to drink tea, you should build a tea shed. In such a cold day Sitting on the air vent, the hot tea immediately became cold."

The Confucian scholar was startled for a while, and immediately stroked his palms: "Mr. Jia is right." He clapped his palms twice.

Immediately dozens of young men appeared from the thatched huts by the road, some with hammers and axes, some with green moso bamboo, and some with bamboo fences, and they actually set up tea sheds on the spot!These people are obviously skilled workers, and they built it in a short time, brought a lot of straw to spread on the roof, and even installed a bamboo door for it!Finally, two women came out, with graceful figures, both wearing ordinary blue flowered cloth clothes, each holding a piece of blue flowered cloth in their hands, presumably it was a door curtain.This is just great.It was originally a table blocking the way, but in the blink of an eye it turned into a room blocking the way.The Confucian scholar has been sitting inside, motionless!

Jia Cong couldn't help changing his words: "This pretense is completely Gu Long's style, and it can already be given full marks."
