Chapter 1354 Jia Heng: He probably wishes he could... sacrifice himself for me.

Tianjin Wei, government office study

Prince Beijing Shui Rong walked quickly into the study, wearing a python robe and jade belt. He stared at the young man in the python robe and said, "Zi Yu, where is Princess Le'an?"

Jia Heng said, "She went to take a bath and change clothes first, and will come over later."

Prince Beijing Shui Rong nodded and said, "Zi Yu, I have prepared a small banquet in the side hall to welcome Princess Le'an."

Jia Heng said softly, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Your Majesty."

Prince Beijing Shui Rong had a slight smile on his fair and clear face, and said softly, "Zi Yu, you two are newlyweds, and it's rare for you to be together this time."

Jia Heng nodded and said, "We have fought together in the past, and this time we are fighting side by side again."

As they spoke, there was the sound of jingling jewelry.

Chen Xiao had finished bathing, changed his clothes, and came in from outside through the curtain.

This beauty took off her Jinyiwei flying fish costume and changed into a girl's outfit. She had an elegant and charming temperament to begin with, and at first glance, she looked even more like "a lotus emerging from clear water, naturally without any embellishment."

Jia Heng raised his sword-like eyebrows, his mind moved slightly, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

The expression on Beijing Prince Shui Rong's face was much more indifferent, or in other words, he turned a blind eye to it, and his eyes were more focused on Jia Heng's cold and harsh profile.

In other words, such a beautiful face has no meaning to Prince Beijing. She is just a pretty face that cannot enter his mind.

Jia Heng looked at Chen Xiao intently and said, "Xiaoxiao, the welcoming banquet is ready. Xiaoxiao, why don't you go over and have some?"

Chen Xiao nodded, a thoughtful look on her fair and frosty face. She turned to look at Prince Beijing Shui Rong, and without saying anything else, went to have dinner with Jia Heng.

After the meal, Jia Heng asked Chen Xiao to go back and rest, and then he and Beijing King Shui Rong went to the hall of Tianjin Wei to discuss military and political affairs.

At this moment, in the hall, a group of officers and soldiers gathered together, and the place was crowded with people.

"This humble general greets the Duke of Weiguo." All the generals present bowed and said.

Jia Heng said in a loud and clear voice: "Generals, please stand up."

As the soldiers expressed their thanks, they sat down one after another and turned their eyes to the young man in the python robe, waiting for his words.

Jia Heng glanced at the officers below with a stern gaze, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, just now, according to the secret spy, the Jurchens have already broken through the capital of Korea and occupied the city."

When these words were spoken, all the soldiers in the yamen looked at each other, obviously quite shocked.

Jia Heng said: "Korea is a vassal state of ours, and the Eastern Tartars have been our Han dynasty's enemies for generations. Now the capital of Korea has been destroyed by the Eastern Tartars, and our Han dynasty should send troops to help them drive out the Eastern Tartars. Previously, our navy was not strong enough to cross the sea to attack, but now the navy officers and soldiers are training non-stop, and it is time for the six armies to work hard and draw their swords and mount their horses!"

Upon hearing this, the generals below nodded in agreement.

Jia Heng said: "All the naval forces should be organized into teams and will set out the day after tomorrow. They will march from Gaizhou to Shengjing to put pressure on the Jurchens and force them to withdraw."

In the Ming Dynasty, a prefecture and a guard were set up in Yingkou area, and it was renamed Gaizhou Guard, which was under the jurisdiction of Gaizhou City, Xiongyue City, Yongning Jiancheng and Wushizhai Fort.

After the Jurchens seized Liaodong, they also took over the passes and castles of the former Ming Dynasty, stationed soldiers there to guard against attacks from the Han navy from the sea.

Just as everyone was discussing the matter, a palace guard entered the hall, his face full of joy, and he said loudly: "Duke, the deputy general of Shanhaiguan has delivered a victory report!"

Shanhaiguan is actually not far from Tianjin. The two places can be reached in one day by express train of 600 miles.

Upon hearing this, Jia Heng cast a burning gaze towards the palace guard and asked, "What is the good news?"

"Deputy General Shanhai came out of Weiyuan City and defeated the troops of Jirgalang of the Jurchen Bordered Blue Banner, killing more than 1,320 enemies." The guard said with a bow, holding the military report in his hand, unable to hide the joy on his face.

Upon hearing this, Jia Heng praised and said, "Well done!"

Cao Bianjiao was indeed the fierce general from the parallel universe, extremely brave and courageous. This time he took the initiative. Although it was not the first time that he defeated the Qing army on the frontal battlefield, it was quite a boost to morale at this moment.

When the generals present heard the good news, most of them showed joy on their faces.

Jia Heng said: "Generals, prepare your troops and set off the day after tomorrow."

"Yes."

All the officers and soldiers present clasped their fists in response.

After Jia Heng explained the combat mission and decided to go out on the expedition the next day, he did not linger for long, but returned to the back hall of the government office and met Chen Xiao head-on.

The beauty was wearing a green dress, a jade belt around her waist, and a snake-shaped jade hairpin in her lush hair.

Chen Xiao raised her willow-shaped eyebrows, her eyes were as bright as water, and she asked softly, "It has been arranged just now."

Jia Heng nodded and said, "We will set off early tomorrow morning."

In fact, it can be said that they were sitting on the mountain and watching the fight between tigers, but in fact the speed of mobilizing troops was not slow. From transferring the navy from the south of the Yangtze River to the north to integrating the troops, the whole process was not dragged out at all.

Chen Xiao was about to say something, but saw the young man quickly came closer, held her slender hand, and put his cheek close to hers.

Chen Xiao snorted softly, and her fair face flushed red. Her clear eyes were full of water and she closed her eyes slightly, letting out a sweet snort from her nostrils.

Jia Heng gently embraced the beauty's plump body, leaning her round and perky breasts against him, and said softly, "Xiaoxiao, it's getting late, let's take a rest."

After my wife took a bath, the scent of bath water mixed with the scent of her snow-white skin was really quite alluring.

Chen Xiao snorted, and a faint rosy blush appeared on both sides of her beautiful cheeks. She gently grasped the hand of the young man who was picking plum blossoms in the snowy ridge.

Jia Heng leaned close to the beautiful woman's ear, gently held the delicate earlobe, and said softly: "Xiaoxiao, it's getting late, let's take a rest."

Chen Xiao snorted lightly, and said in a tone of anger and annoyance: "You are only thinking about that little thing."

Jia Heng embraced the beautiful woman's soft and fragrant body, went to the inner room, and sat down on the bed with the curtains hanging down.

Jia Heng lowered his eyes slightly, with a hint of weirdness in his eyes.

Xiaoxiao just talked about him, but there was no need for him to remind her.

The beauty gently hooked a strand of hair that fell on the side of her beautiful cheek behind her ear. Her movement was natural and carried an indescribable charm.

When she raised her head, a hint of anger flowed in her beautiful, bright and clear eyes.

"You just know how to humiliate others." Chen Xiao whispered.

Jia Heng said: "This is not...it misses you."

Chen Xiao snorted coldly and pinched the boy as he groaned in pain. Then, without saying anything else, she lowered her head and walked away. Her hair fell down at the temples, covering her slightly pink lips.

Jia Heng said: "Xiaoxiao, this period of time in the capital should actually be the safest time."

When he was pacifying Liaodong, Emperor Chongping would not allow anyone to harm him and affect his plan of the Northern Expedition.

"Hmm." Chen Xiao snorted and didn't say anything else.

"Aren't you worried that I having a child will affect your business?" The beautiful woman's voice could be faintly heard through the curtains hanging on all sides, with a hint of anger in it.

"I'm careful."

"..."

After an unknown amount of time, Jia Heng looked at the beauty beside him and said in a deep voice, "Xiaoxiao, have you missed me these days?"

"Hmph." Chen Xiao snorted coldly, and faint rosy red aura could be seen flowing silently from the corners of her eyebrows and eyes, making her look more and more beautiful. In her crystal clear eyes, there was a hint of charm. She snuggled her delicate body in the young man's arms and let the young man tease her.

Jia Heng buried his head in front of Chen Xiao's clothes, with a hint of joy in his eyes.

Chen Xiao's beautiful cheeks were blushing as she gently stroked the shoulders of the young man in the python costume, her eyes filled with mist.

Tianjin Acropolis

It was evening and the bustling crowds on the streets gradually thinned out.

In an inn with a plaque reading "Yue Lai" hanging on the wall, there were many guests, and the sound of toasting and clinking cups never ceased.

As a large number of soldiers from the Jiangnan Navy arrived at Tianjin City, the atmosphere of the impending war gradually became tense.

The diners in the hall were also looking forward to it.

Gu Ruoqing was dressed in green and wearing a bamboo hat. She walked into the inn. The veil under the bamboo hat was blown up by the wind, revealing her stunningly beautiful face. She went up the stairs to the second floor and sat down in a private room.

"The Duke of Wei is in the Wei Yamen right now." A diner nearby said with a chuckle.

"It will take a few days before we send out troops to fight, right?"

“This time we are going to help North Korea.”

Gu Ruoqing picked up the wine cup, took a sip, and listened to the discussions of Zhou Fang's diners, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

When I arrived in Tianjin, I felt that I was somewhat reckless.

The war was imminent, why did she come all this way? And how could she meet him? And what excuse would she use?

The beauty frowned, thought for a while, and suddenly an idea came to her mind.

Princess Le'an should be in Tianjin now, and she will go to see her later.

Thinking of this, he left the inn and headed towards the Tianjin Wei government office.

Because he was skilled in martial arts, he was able to move freely and in a short while, he sneaked into the Wei Yamen.

At this moment, dusk was falling and the lights were coming on. Soldiers in front of the Wei Yamen were coming and going with alert looks on their faces.

Gu Ruoqing followed a light in the backyard, tiptoed to the backyard, and sure enough, he saw a wing room. From the outside, it was lit with orange lights.

In the side room, there were faint sounds of joy. Gu Ruoqing frowned, her cheeks felt slightly hot, and she thought to herself that she had come at a really bad time.

These two people are making out.

After a moment, a hint of shyness appeared in the beautiful woman's eyes. She was about to leave, but then she felt curious.

I don’t know what he... no, what his junior sister is like?

As she was thinking this, the beautiful lady, as light as a swallow, had already climbed up to the beam and reached the roof ridge. Following the sound, she took down a tile and looked down in the light of the lamp.

But on the embroidered couch with the curtains hanging down, a piece of snow-white skin came into view.

The Duke Wei of the country was hugging his junior sister Chen Xiao, busying himself up and down, and then he leaned close to the beautiful woman's face and was affectionate.

Chen Xiao said: "When I left, Senior Sister was acting weird."

"What's weird?" Jia Heng, who was acting as Zhao Zilong at Changbanpo at the moment, paused and asked after hearing this.

I had talked to Gu Ruoqing several times before.

"I don't know either. I talked to her for a while before I left. Anyway, I felt that my senior sister seemed a little tired after wandering around in the world for so many years." Chen Xiao frowned and said softly.

Jia Heng leaned over to Chen Xiao's cheek, kissed his wife's face, raised his slender body, and whispered, "Well, I think...she probably misses a man."

Chen Xiaoni snorted, gently pushed Jia Heng, and said, "How can you say that?"

"She is not young anymore and she hasn't married yet. How can you not be anxious?" Jia Heng chuckled and said softly.

At this moment, Gu Ruoqing was on the roof listening to the young man's words, and he felt inexplicably angry in his heart.

Nonsense! Are you saying that she can't get married?

The men who admired her could line up from the capital to Nanjing.

The beauty felt a surge of evil in her heart and was about to leave angrily, but the voice in the house seemed to have magic and gradually attracted Gu Ruoqing's attention.

Especially the young man's next words made the beautiful woman tremble slightly.

Jia Heng said, "She probably thinks there are still men in the world who are obsessed with her, but many men just want to have sex with her and don't want to commit their lives to her. There are so many young and beautiful girls in the world."

This is like an older single woman in a first-tier city who still wants to find an elite man. How is that possible? As you get older, beauty depreciates. As the saying goes, there are few men in front of your house. If you marry a businessman, you can only find an ordinary man to take over.

In those days, young men from Wuling competed to tie their hair with red silk, and countless people wore it for a song.

Hearing this, the beauty snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "You are just waiting for this batch of girls, right?"

Jia Heng said: "That's the metaphor."

The beauty snorted and said, "Is it a metaphor, you... um~"

However, before she could finish her words, the young man stopped the beautiful woman from speaking, and then the two of them blushed and threw half-dry firewood into the bonfire, which made a continuous crackling sound.

Gu Ruoqing, who was watching cautiously on the roof, had her snow-white face flushed with shame. At this moment, she turned her cold and bright eyes to the two people who were cuddling on the bed, and felt inexplicably ashamed and annoyed.

"Who?"

Jia Heng suddenly heard a sound of disordered breathing, and then he looked up and met that pair of bright eyes.

It was Gu Ruoqing’s gaze.

Jia Heng knew Gu Ruqing, and at this moment he was suddenly startled. When their eyes met, he immediately caught the look of panic, shame, anger and irritation.

This... You can't say bad things about people behind their backs, and someone heard it.

Jia Heng was stunned for a moment, and felt a little uneasy in his heart.

"What's wrong?" Chen Xiao was closing his bright eyes with his eyelashes drooping, sweat dripping down his temples. He suddenly felt that the young man had stopped abruptly, and a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes.

Is someone spying? Could it be Beijing Prince Shui Rong?

It's no wonder Chen Xiao thinks so. After all, as Jia Heng has been through a lot, he already knows that if he's not careful, he might be seen secretly by others.

Ok……

Jia Heng showed an unnatural look on his face and said, "No, it's your senior sister."

Chen Xiao: "..."

What's going on? Is the senior sister here?

Jia Heng held Chen Xiao's plump waist and whispered, "Xiaoxiao, let's ignore her and continue."

Chen Xiao: "..."

Can this continue? Shouldn't this be stopped?

Gu Ruoqing: “???”

"He's not a stranger, so you don't have to pay attention to him." Jia Heng said in a low voice.

Gu Ruoqing was feeling extremely ashamed and angry and wanted to leave, but at this moment, an indescribable stubbornness gradually arose in her heart.

She just wanted to see how these two people shamelessly behaved in front of others...

Well, the two of them were married in a formal ceremony, so there was nothing to do with the word "shameless".

But don’t you know how to avoid people?

At this moment, Jia Heng just pretended that Gu Ruoqing didn't exist and hugged Xiaoxiao's plump waist.

For a moment, Jia Heng used all his skills.

After a while, Gu Ruoqing's cheeks and body felt as hot as fire as she looked at the scene in detail, and her beautiful eyes were filled with anger.

Is this a way of showing off her abilities?

It’s really…

How could Junior Sister allow him to act like this?

Still holding it like a child.

Although the beauty came from a brothel, she was a pure prostitute.

Jia Heng hugged Chen Xiao's plump body at this moment, looked at the beautiful woman with a rosy face, and said softly: "Xiaoxiao, how is it?"

A soft moan came from the wings of Chen Xiao's delicate and straight nose, and her plump and delicate face, as red as fire, seemed as bright and beautiful as the peach blossoms in February.

When the beautiful lady raised her beautiful eyes which were filled with charming ripples, her crystal clear heart could not help but feel even more embarrassed and annoyed.

He did it on purpose so that his senior sister could see it clearly.

When I thought of this, I felt a great sense of shame rising in my heart.

Gu Ruoqing's beautiful face turned red. At this moment, she couldn't bear to watch it anymore and turned away.

……,……

Until midnight, everything was silent.

The sky outside the courtyard was pitch black, and at some point, a cool, bleak autumn wind blew through the tops of the sycamore trees. Amid the rustling sound, there seemed to be the sound of raindrops falling and hitting the green grass.

Jia Heng hugged Chen Xiao's plump and soft body tightly, and at this moment, Jia Heng felt refreshed, and all the fatigue of this period of time was swept away.

At this moment, a few strands of hair on Chen Xiao's delicate head were scattered, and her snow-white face was flushed. Her delicate body had become soft as a ball of mud, and she almost collapsed in the young man's arms.

"You made my senior sister angry and leave." Chen Xiaoyu's face was filled with shame and anger. She opened her lips slightly, and a hint of crystal-clear and decadent breath emanated from her. Her voice was a little weak, and there was a sense of laziness and charm in her powerless voice.

She was really helpless with him, and just now she had forgotten that her senior sister was beside her, and let him cling to her and act foolishly.

Jia Heng said: "It was you who pissed her off and left. Just now..."

Chen Xiao: "..."

"Don't say that." Chen Xiao said angrily.

The beautiful lady clenched her slender hands into pink fists and hit the young man's chest to stop Jia Heng from saying the next words. Under her beautiful eyebrows, her charming eyes were full of shyness and annoyance.

Chen Xiao's beautiful face said angrily: "In this case, how can I face her in the next few days?"

Jia Heng chuckled and said, "She is secretly watching us, and she is not ashamed, so why should you be ashamed? Just meet her as you should."

He felt that Gu Ruoqing probably wished she could sacrifice herself in his place.

Chen Xiao snorted and said unhappily, "I don't want to bother with you. I think you want to pull her up and put her side by side so that you can bully her."

Jia Heng: "???"

"I never said that." Jia Heng leaned close to the beauty's ear and whispered.

"Do you dare to say that you didn't think so before?" Chen Xiao's face was as red as fire and her voice was a little cold.

Jia Heng calmed his confused mind and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. It's getting late. Let's go to bed early."

Chen Xiao's eyes were as bright as water under her willow-leaf eyebrows, and she said softly, "You just ruined her innocence."

"How can this be considered as destroying her innocence?" Jia Heng paused and said, "What has she not seen in all these years?"

"It's not as bad as you say."

Chen Xiao snorted softly and said, she was too lazy to pay attention to Jia Heng. She just leaned her head against Jia Heng's chest, listening to the young man's heartbeat, and felt a little comforted for a moment.

Although they are not newlyweds, she has been very close to Jia Heng in the past. She misses him a little after not seeing him for some time.

On the other side, Gu Ruoqing left the back house of Tianjin Wei Yamen, tiptoed all the way, and quickly came to the inn and sat down. Her icy and jade-skinned cheeks turned red and hot like fire, and it was obvious that she was still angry.

Did she come all the way here just to make him angry?

The more the beauty thought about it, the angrier she became. Her slender hands were clenched tightly, and her beautiful face was filled with shame and anger.

……,……

She was angry until the late night, then she went to sleep with her clothes on. Maybe it was because she was too worried, but in the late night, the beautiful woman in the quilt had sweat all over her forehead and a light blush on her face.
