Ruthless Lian Erye in the Red Chamber

At night, Situ Zhao walked into Situ Xu's room with a worried face: "Second Brother, tonight..."

"What's going on tonight, our Master Jia, didn't he say he would protect you and me? What are you worried about?" Situ Xu was looking at the chessboard on the table with a chess piece in his hand: "Fourth brother, Now that you're here, come and accompany Second Brother to finish this game of chess, it's boring for Second Brother to play alone."

Seeing Situ Xu's confident look, Situ Zhao finally sighed helplessly, stepped forward and sat down opposite Situ Xu, and took a chess piece in his hand: "Since the second brother believes in him, I believe in him too."

Zhang Xi was winky, after listening to the conversation between Situ Xu and Jia Lian, combined with what his son said to him, although he couldn't guess this matter thoroughly, he also knew that tonight might be dangerous.He quickly picked up the two princes, that's right, afterwards, Zhang Xi also finally knew that the noble man who kept his face so cold was the fourth prince, Situ Zhao.He arranged the two of them in the courtyard next to Jia Lian, so that the owner of the villa could protect the prince and fourth prince nearby.

Zhang Xi wiped the sweat off his brow, they are already ordinary people, how could they meet the two princes, this is unscientific.

Throughout the night, Zhang Xi was on guard for some reason. He ordered the men in the Zhuangzi to guard the gates of the Zhuangzi firmly, and he himself stood at the gate of the prince's courtyard. He jumped up like a frightened rabbit.Even in the middle of the night, it is still like this.

"You don't have to do this," Jia Lian walked over slowly, looked at Zhang Xi's appearance, and said coldly: "Everything is fine as before, you let those who are not on duty go back to rest, do whatever you want, you just need to take care of it." It's all right with Yu'er."

"But..." Zhang Xi hesitated to speak, but here was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"You don't need to worry about this matter. Since I said I want to protect him, I can protect him. You must not let them disrupt our lives."

Zhang Xi nodded with his mouth open, turned his head to look at the guards in front of the prince's house who glared at Jia Lian's words, swallowed his saliva and nodded: "The little one went down."

Jia Lian nodded: "Go down, remember to tell them that no matter what happens tonight, they should perform their duties. Those who should sleep sleep, and those who should watch the door. Of course, there should be no big movements."

Zhang Xi quickly nodded in agreement, now, he can only put all his hopes on the owner.

Jia Lian watched Zhang Xi leave, and then stepped into the yard. He looked at the guard standing in front of him, and asked doubtfully, "Why stop me?"

"Please see the master, I need to wait for the report." The guard did not like Jia Lian very much. To be precise, the four or five remaining guards did not like Jia Lian. They recognized Jia Lian's martial arts skills, but this kind of Ignoring the behavior of the prince and prince is something they cannot tolerate.

"This is my house," Jia Lian said flatly, "If you don't let me in, then I'll go back." Then, Jia Lian turned around and was about to leave.

Situ Xu's voice came from the room: "Master Jia is really stingy, you can get angry with just a few words, let him in."

The guard quickly put down his hand and quietly pushed it aside.

Jia Lian looked at his face and said, "You are seriously injured, you should take good care of yourself." Then he entered the room.

When Situ Xu saw Jia Lian coming in, he looked quite happy: "I didn't expect Master Jia to come to see Gu in person tonight." He looked at Situ Zhao who had a bad face, and shook his head helplessly: "Look now. Come on, it's really lonely in this room tonight, Master Jia is an iceberg, and Gu's fourth brother is also an iceberg, really, hey."

Regardless of Situ Xu's teasing, Jia Lian watched the two of them playing chess and didn't step forward. He turned around and sat on the table beside him, got a cup of tea, put his black sheath sword on the table, and drank the tea Come.

Situ Zhao frowned and glanced at Jia Lian, then glanced at his sword, heaved a sigh of relief, and stopped talking.

Situ Xu curled his mouth slightly, raised his hand and dropped the chess pieces in his hand on the chessboard, and took a few pieces: "If the fourth brother doesn't pay attention, the second brother will win."

Jia Lian glanced sideways at Situ Xu, and said in his usual calm tone, "I don't have a good swordsmith."

"So," Situ Xu looked at Jia Lian with interest, "Would you like to find one for you?"

Jia Lian was not polite: "Help me cast a good sword out of Tianshan black iron. The blade is three feet and seven inches, and the net weight is seven catties and 13 taels."

Situ Xu raised his eyebrows, and turned his eyes back to the chessboard: "Gu only promised to give you black iron, but he didn't promise to find someone to help you forge the sword."

"I owe you a favor, as long as you help me forge the sword, I will promise you one thing in the future."

"Okay, deal," Situ Xu happily said, "Fourth brother, let me just say, this time, you will lose."

Situ Zhao frowned, looked at the chess game where Situ Xu had completely killed him, and sighed: "Second brother is still very good at chess."

As soon as the words fell, Jia Lian picked up the sword on the table and flew out. After a while, he heard a guard shouting: "There are assassins, there are assassins..."

Before the voice fell, Jia Lian had already returned to the house with the sword.

In the room, since Jia Lian flew out, Situ Xu and Situ Zhao, who had stood up unconsciously, saw Jia Lian returning as if nothing had happened, and said doubtfully, "The matter is settled."

Jia Lian nodded, picked up the tea he had just poured and drank it down in one gulp. The tea was still warm and tasted just right.

"Only five came, but their kung fu is higher than that of Bairi's group." Jia Lian's expression was calm, and his words were also calm, which relieved Situ Xu and Situ Zhao from their nervousness.

"You should keep one alive." Situ Zhao said with a frown.

"Don't you know who is going to kill you?" Jia Lian replied.

"It's not that I don't know, it's just a few of them." Situ Xu shrugged indifferently: "Those who want to be left alone to death, they know it well."

"Second brother."

"Forget it," Situ Xu patted Situ Zhao's hand: "Fourth brother, if the second brother really can't make it through, you must grab that position, and you can take revenge for the second brother."

Jia Lian sat on the side, looked at the two brothers and sisters, and was puzzled. Didn't they all say that the royal family is ruthless, and the relationship between the two seems to be good.

During the night, there were two more assassinations one after another, and the killer's skills became more and more sophisticated, but they were killed by Jia Lian before they could get close to the house. Jia Lian followed Situ Zhao's words and left a living.

"Take it," Jia Lian threw the assassin whose acupoints he had tapped at the feet of Situ Xu and Situ Zhao: "Live."

The corner of Situ Xu's mouth twitched, and someone took off the assassin's black cloth, but found that he didn't recognize him at all, and there was nothing on the assassin that could prove his identity. Situ Zhao's face became heavy.

"How can there be clues left behind for this kind of dead man?" Jia Lian said after seeing the guards searched the assassin carefully but found nothing, "It may not be useful to stay."

Only then did Situ Zhao wave his hand and ask someone to pull the assassin down: "Go back and interrogate him, and see if you can dig out something from his mouth."

Jia Lian shook his head, said he was a dead man, and he didn't believe what he could ask. The fourth prince didn't have a dead man in his hands, it was just a matter of life and death, so he always hoped to get some clues.

On the other hand, Situ Xu, who is the crown prince, is quite open-minded. He looked at Situ Zhao's expression, then at Jia Lian, and said with a smile, "Fourth brother, you are just a dead man. If you kill him, you will kill him. It's okay. of."

"But, second brother..."

Situ Xu raised his hand to stop Situ Zhao's words: "We just know what to do, there is no need for the emperor."

Situ Zhao immediately put his shoulders down in frustration.

Jia Lian shook his head: "The royal father and son are indeed ruthless."

Situ Xu smiled wryly, for a while, no one in the room spoke again.

When it was Chenshi on the second day, Jia Lian walked out with a sword in hand, and Situ Xu and Situ Zhao, who were so startled that they hadn't slept all night, also stood up, fearing that something might happen.The two followed up to have a look, only to find that Jia Lian was just taking his girl to practice swords.

Situ Zhao's face darkened, and Situ Xu was happy.

The little girl stood on the side of the yard, watching her father practicing sword seriously, and didn't care about how many people were around today.

Jia Lian practiced the sword with the same simple movements, drawing the sword, withdrawing the sword, simple stabbing movements, one thousand strokes with the right hand, one thousand strokes with the left hand, and so on, until an hour was up.However, now that he practiced the sword, he no longer stabbed the sword at the wooden stake. He stood in the courtyard, facing the void, stabbing in and out over and over again, looking so solemn to the point of sacredness.

Situ Xu looked at it for a long while, but he didn't see anything famous: "No matter how I look at it, I don't think that this Jia Lian practiced sword like this, and he can develop such skills. You guys, can you see it?"

Several guards shook their heads, but one of them, Liu Zhizhong, was the leader of these guards and the captain of the prince's personal guards. His martial arts were quite strong, and he could see a little way: "My subordinates think that the master of Jiazhuang has superb swordsmanship. , This posture of drawing and closing the sword, no matter in terms of angle, strength or other aspects, every sword is exactly the same, not bad, such a superb sword control ability is beyond the reach of the subordinates."

Situ Xu raised his eyebrows, and the smile on his face widened a bit: "It seems that Jia Lian is really talented."

Even if Situ Zhao didn't like Jia Lian's character, he still had to admit that Jia Lian was a master, at least no one he knew could beat Jia Lian: "Second brother is right, this Jia Lian is indeed quite good. ability."

Situ Xu smiled even brighter: "Then if this Jia Lian is used by Gu, it seems that Gu will be able to sit back and relax in the future."

Situ Zhao shook his head, and frowned again: "Let's not say whether Jia Lian is willing to enter the court, even if it is the father, he will not agree. After all, Jia Lian's reputation is not good."

Situ Xu sighed helplessly: "At first, I thought that if Jia Lian owed Gu a favor, he could be used by Gu, but now it seems that it is not very useful. Forget it, it is a favor after all, maybe When will it come in handy."

The little girl on the side listened for a long time, although she didn't understand what they were saying, she turned her head, put her finger on her mouth, and said to them, "Shh, keep your voice down, you are disturbing Master's sword practice!" gone."

"Master?" Situ Xu raised his eyebrows: "This is a bit interesting." Just as he was about to ask the little girl why she was a master, he saw the little girl glaring at him angrily, so he had to touch his nose and stop talking. Talk too much.

After Jia Lian's one-hour sword practice was over and several of them had dinner together, Jia Lian got on his horse and led Situ Xu and his party back to the palace.

The little girl was crying behind and wanted to go, but Jia Lian gave her a cold glance: "When you have the ability to protect yourself, come and negotiate terms with me."

My lord, Zhang Xi, who was watching from the sidelines, felt bitter again. How many years would it take for the young miss to regain the self-protection ability you mentioned? You know, the young miss is only two years old now! , Then, Zhang Xi dismissed Situ Xu and his party, but nodded in his heart. In such a dangerous situation, it would be safer for the young lady to stay in the villa. Owner, please go back early.

Jia Lian got on his horse and said, "Let's go quickly, I will come back to practice swords in the afternoon."

The corner of Situ Xu's mouth twitched, and he said, how much do you love practicing swords.

Jia Lian took Situ Xu and his party down the mountain. Along the way, Situ Xu and the others treated them seriously, fearing that something would happen on the way back, but unexpectedly, the journey was safe. The city gate officials saw them from afar, and quickly reported to their superiors.

The admiral of the Nine Gates, Song Mu, personally led troops out to greet him: "Minister Song Mu, please refer to His Highness the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince."

Jia Lian glanced sideways at Situ Xu: "Since someone has already come to pick you up, do you still need me to take you back?" That expression seemed to say that your family has already sent someone to pick you up, so you don't need to bother I got the same.

The corner of Situ Xu's mouth twitched, but he didn't speak.

On the contrary, Situ Zhao's expression darkened, and he shouted, "Presumptuous."

Jia Lian turned to look at him, his eyes didn't fluctuate in the slightest, just staring at Situ Zhao firmly, Situ Zhao's body turned cold, coughed lightly, and turned his head to avoid Jia Lian's sight.

Seeing his always cold-faced fourth brother being deflated, Situ Xu was overjoyed: "It's okay, since Mr. Song has come to escort Gu, Master Jia can go back."

"Then, the sword." Jia Lian added.

"After casting, Guzi will send it away."

Jia Lian nodded, unambiguously, and turned his horse around to go back: "You don't have to come and deliver it yourself, just send someone. Once you come, we will clean up all of our Zhuangzi. It's troublesome." When he arrived, Zhang Xi was restless, causing the whole Zhuangzi to panic, and he was still a little unhappy.

Situ Xu looked at Jia Lian Juechen's back and said with a smile, "He's really an honest man."

Situ showed a black face: "It's too impolite."
