Chapter 1381 Chen Xiao: Did you get the senior sister? (Third update, asking for monthly tickets!)
North Korea, Wang Jing
The next day, the sky was bright and the morning light from the east shone into the courtyard. It was a bright spring day with a charming and beautiful scene.
Jia Heng slowly stood up and looked at Gu Ruoqing who was lying in his arms, with a hint of aftertaste on his face.
I have to say, there was indeed some contrast between this once cold beauty and herself after she fell in love.
Gu Ruoqing was sleeping at the moment, her sleeping face was peaceful and contented, her face was as white and smooth as jade, and as delicate as a baby's skin, and under her tall and delicate nose bridge, her nose seemed to be making a "moan" sound.
Immediately, the beauty's eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes. Her rosy face was as red as the clouds, and her aura was full of rosy red.
"You just know how to fool around. I'm sleepy right now." Gu Ruoqing responded softly and didn't say anything else.
Jia Heng gently scratched the bridge of the beauty's nose and said jokingly, "If you say that to me again, I will expose your past."
Gu Ruoqing's face suddenly turned red with shame, and she couldn't help but reach out and pat the boy's shoulder. She was already feeling inexplicably ashamed and angry in her heart.
If he hadn't insisted on making trouble last night, why would she have followed him?
Jia Heng gently grasped Gu Ruoqing's plump and soft body and said, "Today I have to discuss the aftermath of the Royal Capital with Young Prince Mu, so I won't accompany you any longer. You should get some more sleep later."
As a person of later generations, no one understands better than him how to destroy a country and assimilate a nation.
Moreover, the language and writing of Korea are basically of Han Chinese origin, but they are limited to the upper class of the Korean nobility.
This is equivalent to the prerequisite for Xiantian Guizhi Dahan.
Gu Ruoqing was not very sleepy at the moment, so she said, "Then I'll get up too, and have breakfast together."
Jia Heng didn't say much. He stood up, put on his dragon robe, tied a silk belt, walked to the window, opened the window, and looked at the sky outside.
Gu Ruoqing sat in front of the dressing table, looking at the face in the bronze mirror, and was dazed for a moment.
I saw in the bronze mirror that the face with pink hair and cloud-like braids had fair and plump cheeks, and the corners of the eyebrows and eyes were full of the beautiful and moving spring charm, flowing silently.
At this time, Jia Heng was so close to Gu Ruoqing that he took out a jade hairpin from somewhere and pinned it between the beautiful woman's lush hair.
When Gu Ruoqing saw this, she felt an inexplicable sweetness in her heart. At this moment, a jade hairpin with clear and flowing light reflected her snow-white face, which made her look quite charming.
The beauty's eyes sparkled brightly, and she asked softly, "When did you buy the hairpin?"
Jia Heng's face was calm, he chuckled, held the beauty's shoulders, and said softly: "I bought it at the market during the Lantern Festival. I wanted to give you a surprise."
Gu Ruoqing said: "You are quite good at choosing. You have chosen for many women, right?"
Jia Heng: "..."
This woman is indeed from a brothel. When she was young, she must have been used to the methods that men use to please women.
Gu Ruoqing paused for a moment, and said softly, "Nothing to say, right?"
It was this bad guy who played a trick on her yesterday, and now she was playing a trick on him in return.
Jia Heng said, "Since you don't want it, I'll take it away."
He would never fall into the trap of proving his sincerity to a woman, but would take a step back and remove the hairpin from the beautiful woman's hair.
Gu Ruoqing was frustrated for a moment, looking at the bronze mirror
"You don't know how to give way to women."
Jia Heng smiled, then turned his hand and pinned a glittering jade hairpin into the beautiful woman's lush hair.
Gu Ruoqing turned around, only to see the young man moving closer again. Suddenly, she felt a burst of warm and fragrant breath hitting her face, which made her heart tremble with fear.
But it didn't take long before she was immersed in the boy's doting again.
It can be said that this should be the passionate period of their love.
Gu Ruoqing's face was flushed, and under her willow-leaf brows, her eyes were as bright as water as she looked at the young man in the python costume.
Jia Heng said: "Okay, let's eat together."
As they talked, the two of them came to the main hall and started to have breakfast.
Afterwards, Jia Heng asked Gu Ruoqing to go and rest, while he went to the main hall of the office.
At this moment, Mu Sheng, the prince of Dongping, was sitting on a pearwood chair in the study, sipping tea and waiting.
At this moment, the Jinyifu guards outside said, "The Duke of Wei is here."
Mu Sheng quickly stood up, raised his eyes and looked at the young man in the python robe, with a thoughtful look in his eyes, and said in a gentle voice: "Zi Yu."
Jia Heng nodded, sat down, and asked, "Brother Mu, how have you been handling the affairs of the Joseon capital these days?"
Mu Sheng said: "The soldiers have already started to drill and coordinate according to Zi Yu's training outline. They have recently checked the grain and fodder in the city treasury."
Jia Heng put down the teacup in his hand and said softly, "Brother Mu, is the Council of Ministers cooperating?"
Mu Sheng said: "Everything is going well, there is nothing else wrong."
Jia Heng put down the teacup in his hand and said, "That's good."
He expected Jin Yu to not dare to disobey, otherwise he would be suppressed by the Han people with an iron fist.
Mu Sheng nodded and said, "That Jin Yizheng mentioned that the throne of the Joseon king has been vacant for a long time. According to the Joseon etiquette, the Joseon crown prince Yi Won should take over the throne. I hope Ziyu will submit a petition to the Shenjing to request the Shenjing to confer the title."
While the two were talking, a guard outside suddenly reported: "Duke Wei, Jin Yu sent someone to deliver a message saying that the crown prince of the Joseon Kingdom has arrived in the capital. May I ask whether he will stay at the posthouse or enter the palace?"
Jia Heng said: "Since you are a member of the royal family of the Li clan, you should live in the palace. Moreover, when King Hyojong of Joseon passed away, the Crown Prince should go to guard the body."
After saying this, he looked at Mu Sheng with a burning gaze and said, "This is a test to retreat in order to advance, to show weakness and gain sympathy."
If he did not allow Yi Won, the only son of King Hyojong of Joseon, to enter the palace, he would easily attract the attention of the military and civilians in the Joseon royal capital, and then become disheartened.
Mu Sheng frowned, then relaxed his brows and said, "This Jin Yizheng is indeed not easy to deal with."
Jia Heng said coldly: "This is just the beginning. After the Liaodong Jurchens are pacified, there will be more to say. These will be handed over to Brother Mu to deal with. The key is to divide and win over. I will leave Li Shu to help you spread public opinion secretly and put all the blame for the death of the Korean people on the incompetence of the Lee Korean clan. The key is to split the hearts of the Korean royal family and the ordinary people."
Mu Sheng's eyes showed a firm look, and he said, "Don't worry, Duke Weiguo."
Entrusted with the task of commanding a region, he will be able to lead a large army in the future to conquer Liaodong and go down in history. How well Zi Yu treats him!
Jia Heng nodded and said, "This matter is no easier than Brother Mu leading an army of 100,000 to march north to Liaodong."
Mu Sheng nodded and said nothing more.
……
……
Liaodong, Haizhouwei——
It was February, the grass was green and the birds were singing. The snow covering the ground had melted away, revealing a patch of tender green across the endless fields.
Inside the central army tent, which was made of a white tent.
Ajige, the Prince of Ying of the Qing Dynasty, was sitting on a tiger-skin chair in the middle of the tent. His face was as cold as ice, his eyes were sharp and filled with ferocity.
"How many Han soldiers are there in Haizhou City? Send more troops to attack back and forth." Ajige put down the teacup in his hand, looked at one of his generals and asked.
At this time, a general below said, "Your Majesty, the city has been under attack for two months, and our brothers have suffered heavy casualties."
During this period, several siege battles broke out under the Haizhou Weicheng City. Due to the coordination of the Han army's red cannons and bows and crossbows, the tens of thousands of Jurchen troops did not gain any advantage.
Ajige pondered for a moment and said, "Hold on for a while. The red cannons have been transported from Shengjing City. It won't be long before they arrive in Haizhou. Then it will be cheaper to attack the city."
"Your Highness, urgent news from Shengjing!" Just then, a horseman with a majestic face and a beard entered the military tent and said, "Your Highness."
Ajige nodded and said, "Bring it here, let me have a look."
As he spoke, the guard beside him quickly stepped forward, took the military report, and handed it to Ajige for him to read.
Ajige unfolded a military report delivered to him by the groom, read it attentively, then stood up suddenly, stunned.
"Aobai was defeated?"
From the defeat in the Korean royal capital to the news of the defeat reaching Shengjing in Liaodong, it would obviously take some time even if it was rushed by a 600-mile express horse.
At this moment, a look of shock gradually appeared on Ajige's heroic and rough face, and it took him a long time to calm down.
Oboi and Ajige once conquered Japan together. They gradually developed a deep friendship during the process of life and death.
The key point is that Oboi, as a loyal minister that the Qing Dynasty could rely on, was very important to Ajige. However, his death this time was like adding insult to injury for the Jurchens, who were already short of talent.
Ajige said: "Send a letter to Shengjing and ask for reinforcements."
At this point, the Qing Dynasty is in a critical moment of survival. If it does not save the country, it will be doomed.
On the other side, Haizhou Acropolis——
After several months of attack and defense, the city still stands tall, except for the marks of swords, guns and arrows on the blue bricks.
At this moment, the Han soldiers on the top of the city, holding weapons, looked vigilantly at the Jurchen Tatars below.
In the trench, one could see a large pool of blood and some unknown broken limbs, and a bloody smell was rising.
In the government office, Hebei Governor Kang Hong and Jia Fang were sitting in the hall, sipping a cup of fragrant tea across a small black wooden table.
Kang Hong nodded, smiled, and said, "Duke Weiguo won a great victory over the Jurchen Aobai in Korea. Korea can also threaten the Jurchen Tartars from the northeast. By advancing troops from multiple directions, the Northern Expedition can increase the chances of victory."
Jia Fang's handsome young face showed a thoughtful expression, and he said, "Admiral Kang, we should take advantage of the Duke's victory in Korea and the panic among the Jurchen Tartars to defeat them in one fell swoop."
Kang Hong smiled and said, "General Jia Fang, it won't be long before the Duke of Wei comes to Gaizhou and will definitely deal with the aftermath. As long as you and I follow the plan and defend the city, it will be a great achievement."
Young people are just greedy for merit and are reckless. There are tens of thousands of elite soldiers from the Eight Banners outside. Even the 100,000-strong army of the Beijing Camp needs to be cautious. How can they be a match for those troops with only more than 30,000 people in Haizhou City?
Jia Fang's expression paused slightly, his eyes sparkling, and he said loudly: "Admiral Kang, the Jurchens think the same way. This is exactly the opportunity for our Han army."
Kang Hong nodded and said, "General Xiao Jia, let's talk about it after the Duke of Wei arrives. You and I just need to do our job here."
Seeing this, Jia Fang stopped trying to persuade him.
……
……
Liaodong, Gaizhouwei
At this moment, Chen Xiao and King Beijing came to the port, looking at the sea in the distance, waiting for the fleet where Jia Heng was.
At this moment, the sea breeze is blowing on the sea surface, the waves are surging, and the scene is vast and boundless.
Prince Beijing Shui Rong said softly: "Princess Le'an, now that Korea has been defeated, the only route left is Liaodong."
During this period, working with Princess Le'an, Prince Beijing Shui Rong also realized that the beauty's abilities far exceeded those of ordinary people.
Chen Xiao said: "North Korea can only send a few troops to help, so we can't count on them too much. The key is whether we can gain a firm foothold here."
Prince Beijing Shui Rong said: "Yes, in the blink of an eye, a few years have passed, and our Han army has already reached Shengjing. This is unprecedented."
With the successful recovery of the Korean capital, Oboi and nearly 10,000 elite troops of the Eight Banners of the Jurchens were defeated, and everyone with a discerning eye could see that the time was ripe to pacify Liaodong.
The revival of the Han Dynasty is in sight! A prosperous era is coming, and civil officials and military generals will all join in the celebration.
Of course, all this still depends on how Jia Heng leads his troops to pacify Liaodong.
At this moment, the Jinyifu captain who had been on a high place looking far into the distance rode back and shouted to Prince Beijing and Chen Xiao, saying, "Prince Shui, Princess, the Duke's fleet has arrived."
Two days passed after Jia Heng and Gu Ruoqing returned to the Korean government office that day. Jia Heng did not stay long and boarded the ship back home.
However, this time he would first go to Gaizhou Guard to explain the matter of the two guards joining forces to defend the city.
At this moment, on the two-story ship, Jia Heng and Gu Ruoqing were standing on the deck. The sea breeze blew in their faces, carrying a salty taste, just like Gu Ruoqing...
Jia Heng quickly suppressed the strange thoughts in his mind, picked up a monocular telescope, and looked at the coastline in the distance. At this moment, the coastline in the mirror was winding and undulating, and it looked quite impressive.
Gu Ruoqing wore a mountain-shaped wingless crown and a well-cut flying fish suit with exquisite embroidery patterns. Perhaps it was because Jia Heng had been constantly caring for her during this period of time, but her beautiful and quiet face had a bit more maturity and charm than before, which a girl of her age should have.
At this moment, he was also holding a telescope and looking into the distance, but his gesture of holding the telescope was a little strange.
"I saw my junior sister." Gu Ruoqing said softly with eyes as bright as water.
Jia Heng just said "hmm" and didn't say anything else.
Beneath Gu Ruoqing's delicate eyebrows, she glared at the young man in the python robe with her cold and beautiful eyes. Deep in her heart, there was a sense of inexplicable resentment.
After this guy saw my junior sister, he started to treat her in a perfunctory manner, right?
Jia Heng didn't say anything else.
As the ships sailed against the wind and waves and gradually approached the port, the willows, camphor trees and locust trees planted on the shore could be seen to be lush and green.
Jia Heng was also surrounded by the Jinyi Guards at this moment. Without saying much, he got off the boat with a large crowd of people following him.
Beijing Prince Shui Rong went over to greet him before Chen Xiao did. His handsome and fair face was full of smiles as he said, "Zi Yu, you're back?"
Jia Heng smiled, raised his eyes to look at Beijing Prince Shui Rong, and said, "Your Majesty Beijing Prince, long time no see."
Beijing Prince Shui Rong said softly, "Zi Yu."
At this moment, Chen Xiao first glanced at the handsome young man with heroic eyes and brows, and then looked at Gu Ruoqing who seemed to have the charm of youth in her eyes and brows.
I thought to myself, as expected, my senior sister has become his roommate.
After all, Li Ren has been with Jia Heng for so long that she already knows Jia Heng's abilities.
This time out, I'm afraid my senior sister will be put in various positions, right?
Chen Xiao glanced at the young man in the python costume and said secretly in his heart.
Jia Heng exchanged pleasantries with Prince Beijing Shui Rong, then walked quickly towards the mansion.
As they were talking, everyone entered the Gaizhou City Wall, surrounded by the Jinyi Guards.
At this moment, the Acropolis government office——
Jia Heng sat down, and a Jinyifu guard bowed and served him fragrant tea. Then he left slowly without saying much.
Jia Heng asked, "What is the recent war situation in Gaizhou and Haizhou like?"
Prince Beijing Shui Rong smiled and said, "Don't worry, Zi Yu. Although the battle is at a stalemate, it is in our favor. Haizhou has repelled the siege of the Jurchen Tartars several times and killed thousands of enemies. Our Haizhou Weicheng has also repelled the Jurchen's sneak attacks twice. Previously, the Jurchen Tartars used a feint to the east and attacked in the west, and they also wanted to launch a sneak attack on our Gaizhou Wei."
Jia Heng smiled and said, "In this way, as long as we hold on for a few months, when the two sides fight again, Liaodong will surely be able to pin down an elite force of the Jurchens, which will reduce a lot of pressure on the court's large-scale northern expedition."
The main reason was that the time was not ripe for the Han army to annihilate the Jurchens. Relying solely on the Jiangnan navy and the 30,000 border troops in Hebei, unless they used a clever strategy, they would not be able to defeat the tens of thousands of elite cavalry of the Jurchens.
Prince Beijing Shui Rong frowned, his eyes paused, and he agreed: "Zi Yu is right."
At this time, Chen Xiao said: "It's getting late, let's eat first, and we can talk about it after dinner."
Jia Heng nodded, then called Gu Ruoqing over and went to the side hall.
Everyone started eating, drinking and chatting, talking about what had happened since they left.
At this moment, it was already mid-February of the nineteenth year of Chongping.
In the afternoon, after lunch, Jia Heng and Chen Xiao came to the hall in the back house.
Chen Xiao looked at the dusty young man, feeling a little distressed, and said, "I just asked the servants to prepare hot water. Wait a minute, you can take a bath and wash off the smell of alcohol."
Jia Heng nodded, looked at Chen Xiao warmly, and said, "During this period of time, Xiaoxiao, you have lost weight."
As he spoke, he moved closer and held the beautiful woman's slender hand. His wife's hands were still so delicate and tender.
Chen Xiao's snow-white face flushed with two peach-like blushes, and said, "During your journey, you have not only been a warrior, but also a gentle and beautiful woman. You look a little fatter."
Jia Heng: "..."
Xiaoxiao never forgets to poke him at any time.
Chen Xiao chuckled and lowered his voice, saying, "Senior Sister, did you get it?"
Hearing this, Jia Heng looked a little unnatural, and said, "What do you mean by taking her or not? We are in love with each other and it's hard to help ourselves."
Chen Xiao glared at Jia Heng with her clear and sparkling eyes, snorted coldly, and said with a hint of shame and anger on her face, "When have you ever been unable to control yourself?"
Jia Heng did not respond, but said: "I will stay here for two days, and then I will return to the capital. You should go back with me this time."
This side is completely handed over to Prince Beijing Shui Rong to handle, and there is nothing wrong with it.
After arriving in the capital, there are still some follow-up matters that need Xiaoxiao's help to deal with.
Chen Xiao hummed, and was about to say something, but suddenly the young man in the python costume moved his face closer and pressed his lips against his own.
If there is any disagreement, then...be intimate.
Chen Xiao snorted unconsciously, and then his curved and trembling eyelashes drooped. He slowly closed his eyes, feeling the familiar indulgence robbing him.
As always, but with more endless longing.
At this moment, Jia Heng has no afterlife yet. The kiss between the middle-aged couple is so intense that he has nightmares for several nights.
Although the two have been together for a long time, they are both in their prime years. Now they are newlyweds, and their relationship is like honeymoon.
After a while, Jia Heng hugged Chen Xiao's delicate body and said softly, "Xiaoxiao, have you missed me during this period?"
Chen Xiao's eyes seemed to be filled with charming mist, and her fair face was bright and radiant. She said softly, "What do you think?"
Jia Heng's eyes showed some longing, and he said softly: "I miss you too."
As he spoke, he moved closer to the beauty's lips and kissed them.
At this moment, Gu Ruoqing had already gone to the side room, got into the bathtub, and took a shower and changed clothes.
