Chapter 315: Chaos in the Jia Mansion
Looking at Li Wei who was screaming in despair , the emperor shook his head in boredom. This time, Emperor Longxing went to the funeral, which was originally a strategy to lure the tiger away from the mountain. As for who was being lured out, no one knew. Therefore, since Emperor Longxing was prepared, the palace was also prepared.
Moreover, there is no need for Emperor Longxing to take any action, the emperor emeritus can just sit back and relax.
Compared with the retired emperor, an old fox who had been on the throne for thirty years, not to mention Li Wei, even Emperor Longxing seemed a little naive. It can even be said that all of Li Wei's actions were actually under the watchful eyes of the retired emperor. The reason why he didn't kill him at the beginning was to see who else would jump out.
If the emperor had taken action at the beginning, Li Wei would have been beaten to death without even having the chance to make trouble.
"Old Cao, I'll leave everything else to you! As for this kid, let's just leave him to the emperor when he comes back to deal with him! Old fellow, I'll give you a look this time, and I'll bet on your favorite purple jade coral."
"That little girl, pour me some tea!"
To the retired emperor, Li Wei’s so-called rebellion was just a child’s play!
There were indeed many Dragon Guards in the palace who were in rebellion, and so was the entire Shenjing City. However, there were nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses lurking in the palace and the city, led by Meng Hua, the son of Meng Zong, and Cao Zhuang, the Marquis of Kaoshan. How could Li Wei cause any trouble?
When Marquis Kaoshan Cao Zhuang received the order, he shouted loudly, and the soldiers outside the door immediately stepped forward to arrest the yelling Li Wei.
Afterwards, he gave another order, asking all troops to surround and kill the rebels in the palace! At the same time, a blast of arrows flew into the sky, and soldiers appeared everywhere in the city of Shenjing, and they went straight to kill the rebels under Li Wei.
The soldiers left in the various military divisions had already received Jia Cong's secret order. After seeing the signal arrow, they rushed out at the same time.
Although everyone in the Jia Mansion did not know the situation outside, they also heard the shouting and killing coming from the streets. Everyone in the mansion gathered in Rong Xi Hall in the west mansion. Now the few people who supported the mansion were all gone. The only male masters were Baoyu, Jia Huan and Jia Lan. The rest were Wang Xifeng, Li Wan, Keqing and the girls.
"What's the situation outside now? Molan, have you found out?" Wang Xifeng asked Molan who had just returned.
Mo Lan shook her head and said, "Second Madam, the front and back doors of our two mansions have been blocked by the soldiers left by the Marquis. I have not been out of the door either. However, most of the soldiers in our mansion have followed the Marquis to guard the border in Lanzhou. The officers are also the Marquis's trusted confidants. He told me that the Marquis had anticipated this and told you not to worry!"
Looking at the panicked crowd, Wang Xifeng slammed the table and said, "Alright, although the old lady and Brother Cong are not here now, we are still at home. Moreover, Brother Cong has anticipated this and left soldiers behind, so he can naturally keep us safe. Even if the Buffalo Grass doesn't care about us, Bao Yatou and Lin Yatou are still here. If he is not absolutely sure, how can he go there with confidence?"
"Everyone, stay here. Molan, take your men to guard the gates of the inner house. Without my permission, anyone who breaks in will be killed without any need to report!"
"Also, send a message to Brother Cong's troops. If there is any situation outside, please inform us at any time to avoid people being in a panic!"
Molan took the order and left. Wang Xifeng looked at everyone and said with a smile, "Why are you all so nervous? Even if something unexpected happened outside, how could they get into our house? There are thousands of people outside. They wouldn't be afraid even if a demon came. What could possibly happen?"
"Second sister-in-law, do you think the old lady and third brother are safe there?" Daiyu asked worriedly.
"Haha! You still don't know our Marquis? According to those people outside, our Marquis is unparalleled in strategy and bravery. The family has made preparations. He is by the old lady's side, and the emperor and the empress are also there. What can go wrong? Maybe it's just this Bison Grass who is plotting against someone."
Although Wang Xifeng was also nervous and even a little afraid, she also knew that she could not show other emotions.
Now, the children in this big family are smart, but they have never been in trouble. As for Li Wan and Keqing, they are both weak-willed. Now, she can only bear it by herself.
What she said to Daiyu was naturally to comfort her, but how could it not be to comfort herself?
Everyone was waiting quietly in Rongxi Hall. Suddenly, the shouting and screaming outside became louder! Not long after, Molan hurried in to report.
"Second Madam, except for the thousand soldiers left to guard the gate, all the others were killed . I went to ask, and General Feng, who led the troops, said that they were ordered to kill the rebels!"
Wang Xifeng stood up quickly. "Rebellion? Who rebelled? And on whose orders?"
"It's not clear who is rebelling, but General Feng said that the Marquis has already given instructions. We just need to wait for the order to arrive from the palace, and then we can kill the enemy!"
Everyone was in a panic, and Wang Xifeng's forehead was covered with cold sweat! Rebellion, this kind of thing was so close to them for the first time. Last time, Jia Cong did not tell them in detail about the incident on Tiewang Mountain, and only told them a few simple words. Even, they only vaguely guessed that there was rebellion.
But now, there is another rebellion? And it is obviously related to Congge'er.
Wang Xifeng helped Ping'er sit down, and then said to Molan again, "Go, gather all the trusted maids in the mansion here. When everyone is here, have someone seal the inner gate and wait for news! Unless Brother Cong and the old lady come back, no one is allowed to open the door, even if the soldiers in our mansion come to report."
Afterwards, Wang Xifeng said to everyone, "Since Brother Cong has already made preparations, they will naturally not stay outside the city for too long. So, it will only take ten days or half a month at most. We should all gather here so that we can discuss with each other if anything happens."
Naturally, everyone had no objection. Now everyone was uneasy. Even if they went back, they would not be at peace. Instead, it would be even more dangerous.
"Everything is up to Feng girl!" Baochai nodded in response. Aunt Xue and other relatives of the mansion's in-laws had also been brought to the mansion a long time ago, but they were placed in Jia's mother's courtyard by Wang Xifeng. Therefore, as long as the mansion was safe, Baochai was not worried.
The only thing she was a little worried about was that she hoped that everything was safe with Jia Cong. Moreover, only when Jia Cong was safe could the mansion be truly safe and sound. Otherwise, no matter how strong this mansion was, how long could it be defended?
