Chapter 1599: Holy Mother of White Lotus: Is this what she wants to say?
Shenjing City, Dongliju
Jia Heng chatted with Chen Xiao for a while, but did not stay in the mansion for long. Instead, he went to Dongliju to accept the invitation of the White Lotus Mother.
At this moment, in Dongliju, in a private room on the second floor——
The White Lotus Mother was wearing a plain white dress with wide sleeves and had a plump figure. She sat by the window, looking at the bustling crowd on the street, and was stunned for a moment.
Just then, there was a series of "thump thump" sounds on the wooden stairs, the footsteps were steady and powerful.
Soon, a tall young man in a python robe came out from outside. Under his sharp brows, his eyes were calm, just like the calm and peaceful water.
Jia Heng walked around a brocade screen and quickly entered the side room. He looked at the White Lotus Mother with warm eyes, bowed respectfully, and said, "Greetings, Mother."
Upon hearing this, Holy Mother White Lotus stood up. It was midsummer and her clothes were a little thin, so the full moon in front of her was clearly shaking.
Jia Heng's eyes were stunned for a moment, and his bright eyes fell for a moment, then he got up again.
Especially the White Lotus Mother, with her face similar to Keqing's facial features, she is exactly Keqing ten years later.
The White Lotus Mother pointed to an empty seat opposite her, her rosy pink lips slightly parted, and called out, "Zi Yu, sit over here."
Jia Heng's face became solemn, and he said in a gentle voice, "Thank you, Holy Mother."
As the White Lotus Mother spoke, she picked up a teacup, pressed her pink lips against it, and said, "Xiaoxiao said you wanted to see me, what's the matter?"
Jia Heng put on a straight face and said, "The Gao family in Sichuan has rebelled. Chen Yuan, Chen Ran and Chen Wei are causing chaos in Sichuan. They are now spreading rumors everywhere to slander the royal family. The Holy Mother is the leader of the White Lotus Sect. Can you mobilize the followers to stop spreading rumors throughout the country to avoid tarnishing the reputation of the royal family and me?"
Although he didn't care much, the fabrication of the romantic scandal between him and Mopan could easily shake the legitimacy of his abdication.
The White Lotus Mother thought for a moment and said, "Since Chen Yuan can mobilize the White Lotus followers, if I reverse the order and order him not to spread rumors, it will be inconsistent and the followers will inevitably be suspicious."
Jia Heng said: "The doubts are irrelevant, as long as you stop spreading rumors, that's it."
The White Lotus Mother nodded, which was considered as her agreement.
Jia Heng asked, "Then can the Holy Mother send someone to Sichuan to inform the court of the movements of Chen Yuan and others so that the court can defeat the enemy."
The White Lotus Mother responded and said, "This is not difficult. Chen Yuan has been working hard in Sichuan for the past two years, just waiting for this incident."
Jia Heng thanked him and said nothing more.
The White Lotus Mother turned and asked with concern, "How is Keqing doing?"
Jia Heng smiled and said, "Everything is fine in the mansion now. Fu'er is almost grown up and has become much more sensible."
Children are often difficult to take care of when they are young, but they are much easier to take care of when they grow up.
The White Lotus Mother said "hmm", and her charming eyes showed curiosity under her two willow-like eyebrows. She said, "I heard that the girl from the Xue family in your house gave birth to a child?"
Otherwise, the child born to this concubine would inherit the throne of the Crown Prince.
Jia Heng was slightly stunned and said, "She hasn't given birth yet. She is just pregnant with a child."
The White Lotus Mother said, "Then you and Keqing should give birth to another boy as soon as possible."
Jia Heng's calm face suddenly showed a strange expression, and he said, "This is not something that can be obtained just by wishing for it."
At this moment, looking at the plump and beautiful face of the White Lotus Mother, his eyes lowered, and he couldn't help but be attracted by its fullness and softness.
He thought to himself that according to the theorem that a mature woman will give birth to twins, perhaps if the White Lotus Mother herself took part, she might give birth to a son.
Jia Heng calmed himself down and quickly suppressed the strange thoughts in his mind.
Seeing that the young man in the python robe had not said anything for a long time, Holy Mother White Lotus could not help but look in the direction of the voice, only to see that the man was staring straight at the front of her clothes, as if in a trance.
The White Lotus Mother suddenly realized something, and couldn't help feeling ashamed and angry.
This Jia Ziyu was so bold and lecherous that he even dared to flirt with her.
She knew the name of the romantic and lustful Jia Ziyu, and even the Empress Song and the Empress Dowager Zhen in the palace were people she had looked at... out of curiosity.
No one knew what she was thinking of, but a faint blush appeared on the fragrant and delicate face of the White Lotus Mother, and beneath her two emerald eyebrows, her beautiful eyes were crystal clear and full of light.
However, for some reason, the beauty did not stop talking, and said with a hint of blame in her voice: "You promised me at the beginning."
When Jia Heng heard the strange tone in the beauty's voice, he felt a little strange for a moment.
But he still put on a straight face and said loudly: "Holy Mother, this matter cannot be rushed."
The White Lotus Mother didn't know what to say at this moment. Her eyes were full of water and she whispered, "Xiaoxiao and Ruoqing, are you all right recently?"
Jia Heng shook his head and said, "There is no sign of pregnancy in either of them yet."
White Lotus Mother: "..."
Is that what she was going to say?
Well, it seems that there is no way around this child’s issue.
Jia Heng frowned slightly, and looked up and down at the White Lotus Mother in front of him, and said, "Is the Mother of God all right in the palace now?"
The White Lotus Mother snorted coldly and said, "Everything is fine in the palace, but recently, powerful officials have been sleeping on the dragon bed from time to time, defiling the harem."
Why was she saying all this for no reason? However, she was also speaking up for Keqing. This man had offended two empresses, which was truly unworthy of a human being.
Jia Heng, however, remained calm and agreed, "What the Holy Mother said is very true."
White Lotus Mother: "..."
This person is truly shameless.
Jia Heng didn't say anything else after he finished speaking. He picked up a blue and white porcelain teacup, took a sip of the tea, and when he lowered his eyes, an unnatural look appeared on his face.
As they talked, the atmosphere suddenly became ambiguous.
The White Lotus Mother was a little restless, so she stood up and said, "If there is nothing else, I will leave first."
"Holy Mother, I haven't finished speaking..." Jia Heng couldn't help but call out, then raised his head and looked at the plump and graceful Holy Mother of White Lotus. His eyes moved slightly, and he was stunned for a moment.
Those two great truths really linger on people's minds every time.
At this moment, under Jia Heng's "gaze", Holy Mother White Lotus almost wanted to escape, so she was absent-minded.
"Why is the Holy Mother leaving so quickly?" While Jia Heng was speaking, he stood up, stretched out his hand and pulled the arm of the Holy Mother of White Lotus. Perhaps he used too much force, and he could smell the fragrance filling the air.
"What are you going to do?" asked the White Lotus Mother in shock.
Jia Heng's palm was resting on the front of the beauty's lapel, and he could not help but feel her plump and soft breasts. When he raised his head, their eyes met, their breathing was heard, and he saw the face that looked like Keqing.
Definitely more mature.
For a moment, Jia Heng felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart.
The White Lotus Mother raised her willow-like eyebrows as dark as spring mountains, and looked at Jia Heng with eyes as clear as water. Her plump and lovely face was flushed with two rosy red blushes.
Immediately, he got up.
Jia Heng couldn't help but show a strange look in his eyes, and asked, "Holy Mother, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
The face of the White Lotus Mother was covered with a layer of rosy red, and she said, "Let me go!"
Jia Heng picked up a blue and white porcelain teacup, took a sip of the tea, and looked at the beautiful woman opposite him with a bit of amusement in his mind.
The White Lotus Mother met the scrutinizing gaze of the young man in the python robe, and she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, and said, "I have something else to do, so I won't stay here any longer."
As she spoke, Holy Mother White Lotus quickly stood up and went outside, but her voluptuous back clearly looked a little flustered at this moment.
Jia Heng calmed himself down, left Dongliju and went out.
When he returned to Ningguo Mansion and entered the study, he looked towards Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao frowned slightly, and a hint of concern appeared in his sparkling eyes. He asked, "Have you seen Master just now?"
Jia Heng nodded and said, "I have seen him just now."
As he lowered his eyes, he couldn't help but think of the softness and fullness between his palms and fingers just now, which was indeed better than Keqing's.
Chen Xiao's beautiful eyes, with their charming and flowing eyebrows, were as bright as water. She asked, "What did Master say?"
At this moment, Gu Ruoqing also stood up and looked at the young man in the python robe, with concern showing in his sparkling eyes.
Jia Heng said: "The rumors that the White Lotus Sect is spreading throughout the country are limited in what she has done."
Chen Xiao thought for a moment and asked, "What about Sichuan?"
"This, I can help." Jia Heng said softly, and then said: "In Bashu, Chen Yuan should also end his sinful life completely."
From the Chongping period until now, Chen Yuan has finally completed his historical mission, and it is time to be swept into the trash can.
Chen Xiao raised her eyebrows, her eyes were full of water, and she whispered, "I'll have someone keep an eye on the war in Bashu."
Jia Heng responded and said, "The Beijing army has already attacked Baoning City. It won't take long before they can capture the city."
Chen Xiao said: "In the northwest, the Junggar troops are stationed under the fortified city, and the two sides are still confronting and attacking each other."
"Once the red cannon is transported there, the battle situation should improve," said Jia Heng.
Chen Xiao pondered for a moment and said, "Even if you are willing, it will be difficult for you to come from afar to help in these battles."
Jia Heng nodded, sighed, and said, "This is really the first time I've watched a battle from a distance."
Now his identity is extraordinary. As the leader of a faction, he can no longer lead his troops to fight wars as he did before.
Chen Xiao asked: "On the Junggar side, can Pang Shili and his men defeat them in one battle?"
Jia Heng shook his head and said, "It's hard to say. Pang Shili has been stationed in the northwest for many years. I don't know if his ability to lead troops has improved. As for the northwest, as long as we repel the invaders from Junggar, the northwest army will be successful. After we pacify the Western Regions, we have to wait until the world is at peace and everything goes smoothly."
Chen Xiao nodded, with a thoughtful look on his face, but didn't say anything else. Then he stood up and went to the outside.
……
……
Time flies, and before I knew it, five or six days had passed.
Under the city of Baoning Prefecture, the Han army of the Beijing camp was in a mighty force, holding weapons, surrounding the city and attacking the city walls.
"Rumble..."
The red cannons roared loudly, and in the midst of billowing smoke, the artillery fire bombarded the Baoning City. On the towering city gate tower, green tiles and flying dust could be seen.
On the top of the city walls, teams of elite soldiers drew their bows and shot arrows.
"Whizzing……"
Black arrows shot at the city wall. The Shu soldiers, who were drawing their bows to shoot at the Han army, were hit by the arrows and groaned in pain.
At this moment, the commander of Baoning Guard stood in the corner tower on the side of the city gate tower, supervising his soldiers and horses to shoot continuously at the soldiers below.
Xie Zaiyi, who was leading a group of officers from the Beijing Camp, gently put down a monocular in his hand and shouted, "All troops, step up the offensive!"
At this moment, all the officers and soldiers around responded in unison, and then they all cheered.
Soon after, the Han army in the Beijing camp launched a fierce attack. They threw bombs one after another towards the Baoning City. With smoke billowing up, the broken fragments of bombs flew everywhere.
Then came the painful groans of the Shu army soldiers, which were like dead grass falling in an endless pool of blood.
At this moment, Bao Qichun, commander of the Baoning Guard, stood on the top of the city wall, and a solemn look appeared on his resolute and rough face.
He had felt the offensive of the imperial army before, but this was the first time he had seen it so overwhelming and fierce like a storm.
In particular, the Red Cannon and the Sky-Bomb can be regarded as powerful weapons for attacking cities and capturing strongholds, or in other words, they have changed the traditional war vision of the Shu generals.
As the screams around him became more and more frequent, Bao Qichun's brows became more and more furrowed, and his heart seemed to be covered by a thick layer of haze.
"General, the people from the White Lotus Sect are coming." At this moment, a lieutenant general wearing black iron armor came quickly and looked at Bao Qichun intently.
Bao Qichun frowned, and a hint of joy suddenly appeared in his eyes. He said, "I'll go take a look."
Having said that, he walked quickly towards the government office accompanied by several officers.
Chen Yuan, Prince of Wei Chen Ran, and Prince of Zhao Chen Wei were now sitting in the government hall of the yamen, and the prefect of Baoning Prefecture, Lu Zhaoyuan, was chatting with them nearby.
Bao Qichun approached and said, "I greet your Highnesses, the King of Zhao, the King of Wei, and the King of Liang."
Although Wei Wang Chen Ran had been demoted to a commoner, because the entire Bashu uprising was mainly fought under the banner of Wei Wang Chen Ran, the Shu generals also maintained basic etiquette at this time.
Chen Yuan asked, "I am following the order of the Governor's Office to lead troops to rescue Guancheng. How has the battle been in recent days?"
Bao Qichun looked solemn and said, "The situation is not good. The imperial army is coming aggressively, and they are using red cannons and thunder bombs, which are thrown on the city walls, causing huge casualties to our troops."
King Wei Chen Ran nodded and said, "The red cannon and thunder bomb are indeed the weapons of the Beijing camp for attacking the city, but they are not undefendable. Although these weapons make strange noises after being fired, as long as they are hidden behind the bunkers on the city wall, they can withstand the aftermath of the artillery fire, and then counterattack to offset the offensive of the Han army in the Beijing camp."
Chen Yuan couldn't help but show a thoughtful look on his face, and asked in a deep voice: "Can Baoning City withstand the attack of the imperial court's troops now?"
Bao Qichun's face was as solemn as iron, and his voice was full of worry. He said, "You can give it a try, but it may not work."
It seems that Chengdu wants to abandon Baoning City and plans to have a decisive battle with the imperial troops at Jiange and Jiameng Pass.
Chen Yuan said: "We should kill as many Han troops as possible and fight a decisive battle with the enemy at Jiange and Jiameng Pass, and defeat tens of thousands of Han troops in the Beijing camp."
However, his White Lotus Sect’s soldiers obviously cannot serve as cannon fodder here.
At this moment, bursts of thunderous sounds were heard outside, clearly the Han army in the Beijing camp launched another offensive.
"King Zhao, King Wei, you can talk here. I will go to the top of the city and mobilize the soldiers to fight against the Han army in the capital camp." Bao Qichun stood up, his eyes flashing fiercely, and said in a deep voice.
Chen Yuan nodded and said, "I will go up to the city gate tower with you to take a look."
Bao Qichun said: "Your Highness, the city walls are full of swords and guns, it's too dangerous."
Chen Yuan shook his head, his resolute and calm face seemed to be fearless, and he said loudly: "I am also the commander, how can I hide behind the soldiers? I should go to the top of the city and kill the enemy side by side with the soldiers."
He mainly wanted to see the offensive of the Han army and whether the city could be defended.
When Bao Qichun saw this, his expression paused, but he didn't insist any further.
Afterwards, Chen Yuan followed Bao Qichun to the top of the city wall. Looking around at this moment, they could see that not far from the city wall were soldiers from the Beijing camp, holding weapons and attacking towards the top of the city wall.
"Whizzing……"
Along with the sound of arrows breaking through the air, the soldiers of the Beijing camp and the Shu army fought each other. Broken limbs and blood could be seen. The two sides fought and fought around the city wall.
The soldiers of the Beijing camp were brave and good at fighting. They were willing to risk their lives and attacked the city walls several times, but the Shu army was not paper-made. Until dusk fell, accompanied by the sound of clanging, the soldiers of the Beijing camp still failed to reach the top of the city walls.
