The fourth year of Yongping, the first day of the fourth month, the fifth quarter of the yin hour
""Dong! Dong! Dong!"
On the bell and drum tower of Shenjing, servants of the Five Cities Army were striking the bronze bells, and the clear and melodious bell sounds gradually spread.
The nine gates of the outer city were opened one by one, the curfew was lifted, and a new day had arrived.
In the east courtyard of Ningguo Mansion, Jia Xuan had already put on a suit of black armor, looked solemnly at the several followers in front of him, and said:"This time we go to war"
"Jiang Gao, Bei Shi, and Du Bai followed me to Liaodong, while Gu Huai stayed in the capital."
""General!"
Gu Huai seemed to want to write something, but before he could open his mouth, he was blocked by Jia Xuan.
"The army does not move, but food and fodder must be sent first, and intelligence is especially important."
"You are calm and smart, the Black Guards are in your hands, I am most assured"
"Right now, with the smoke of war rising in Liaodong and Datong, all the people in the world will cast their eyes to the frontier. Whether it is the imperial embroidered uniform army, the emperor's blood-dropping darts, the emperor's hidden dragon guards, the guard camp of Prince Yi Zhong, or the old man's Yuntai, their eyes will drift away as I leave."
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You must seize it firmly and quickly expand the Black Guard to cover the two capitals and thirteen provinces."
""General."
Hearing this, Gu Huai's eyes flickered, and endless ambitions rose in his heart.
Jia Xuan continued:"Spies have existed since the pre-Qin period, usually used to collect information, carry out assassinations, etc."
"Wine, sex, money and anger are the four major pursuits in life, none of which can be missing"
"A prosperous place with willows and smoke, a land of wealth and gentleness, no one does not love it."
"The Black Guards openly open brothels and music houses, but in reality they are used as cover for spies and can also provide large amounts of gold and silver. Why not do it?"
"Got it!"
Gu Huai's face straightened and he replied very seriously.
"The main"
"Brothers, you are all ready."
Outside the courtyard, Jiang Gao, Bei Shi, and Du Bai each wore armor and held a sword, ready for battle.
"Beat the drums and blow the trumpets!"
"Follow me to the battle!"
With a wave of his hand, Jia Xuan shouted in a deep voice
""Yes!"
The three of them bowed and turned away.
After a moment
""Woo woo"
The melodious sound of the horn rang out from Ningguo Mansion, gradually spreading, covering Ningrong Street, and the surrounding streets and even the Forbidden City.
The sky was gray and things were not clear. Most of the dignitaries in the capital were still asleep, especially the Jia family, who were all lazy and only felt that the noise was a bit annoying, but they didn't care.
However, the next three drums completely shocked the outside world of Shenjingdu.
""Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The drumbeats were as swift and fierce as thunder, sweeping over a five-mile radius.
The masters and mistresses of the nearby Jia family were so frightened that they fell out of their beds, sweating coldly and looking pale.
As for the maids and old women, it goes without saying that they had never experienced such a scene before and were trembling all over.
"What's going on?"
In the inner courtyard of the main hall of Ningguo Mansion, Jia Zhen pushed away the warm and soft jade beside him and suddenly stood up.
"father!"
"There was a noise coming from my second uncle's yard.
Jia Rong was outside, disheveled, shouting
"What?"
"Second brother is going to the war?"
Jia Zhen had learned something and knew that beating drums and blowing trumpets were usually the signal for the army to go to war. He quickly put on his clothes under the concubine's clothes and hurried to the gate of Ningguo Mansion.
On the other side of Rongguo Mansion, Jia She, Jia Zheng and others also came to their senses. They didn't care about getting up in a bad mood and left the mansion with their hands and feet.
Although Jia's mother was old, she had experienced such things. She had already ordered the maid Yuanyang in front of her to prepare wine and send it to the gate of the mansion.
Surrounded by maids and women, all the Jia family members couldn't wait to walk out of their rooms. No one dared to say anything, and their faces were solemn.
""Hurry! Hurry!"
The doors of Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion opened at the same time.
The lights on the whole Ningrong Street were on. Figures stood in front of the door, looking up, and all eight families in Beijing saw them off.
This was the first time in decades that the Jia family went to war, and everyone was uneasy.
The young Jia Baoyu, Jia Huan, Jia Lan, and Jia Cong rubbed their eyes and tried to open them wide, wanting to see this scene.
On the contrary, the women such as You Dasaozi, Qin Keqing, and Li Wan were very alert. They had heard the news from Xiao Xichun early.
Several inner courtyard ladies, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, and Wang Xifeng had different expressions, and it was completely unknown what they were thinking.
""Da Da Da! Da Da Da!"
A long-lost sound of horse hooves sounded, and the ground shook slightly.
A group of figures stepped out from Ningguo Mansion. The leader, Jia Xuan, was wearing black armor and riding a Ujumchin horse. A blood-red cloak fluttered in the wind around his neck. His face was stern, and he had a bloody murderous aura.
Beside him, dozens of cavalrymen were wearing black armor, holding steel spears, and holding a large banner with the word"Jia" on it.
For a moment, all the Jia family members present were shocked by this scene and stood there in a daze.
"Second brother!"
"I toast to you. I wish you good luck in military affairs and make contributions to the country!"
Jia Zhen, as the head of Ningguo Mansion, would be the next patriarch of the Jia family when Jia Jing was away. He was the first to raise his glass.
"Good."
Jia Xuan rode his horse ahead, took the wine glass from the tray and drank it all.
Then,
Jia She, Jia Zheng, Jia Lian, Jia Baoyu and others raised their glasses to toast each other:"I wish Brother Xuan a prosperous military career and make contributions to the country!"
""Go!"
After drinking the cup, Jia Xuan glanced at everyone in the Jia family, especially Xichun, and gave a loud order.
""Da da da! Da da da!"
Jia Xuan was seen leading the way, followed by dozens of riders. In the morning breeze, a large flag with the word"Jia" on it fluttered as it passed through Zhuque Street and exited from Desheng Gate. The noise startled all the people in the capital.
"" Oh , brother!"
Little Xichun looked at Jia Xuan's departing figure, feeling very sad and couldn't help crying out loud.
���Lin Daiyu also secretly said in her heart:"Gods and Buddhas, I hope Brother Xuan will be safe and sound this time and return victorious."
Everyone in the Jia family watched Jia Xuan disappear in the early morning, and then they returned to their homes, as if nothing had happened.
Perhaps for some people, Jia Xuan's death on the battlefield is not a bad thing.
