Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

Chapter 458: Certificate of Acceptance
"Since we can't reach an agreement, let's give up. Please give up." Yang Siniang pursed her lips and looked away.

Jia Cong said: "Siniang, you should think about it again. Anyway, there is no rush. I will come see you another day."

Yang Siniang said hurriedly: "You are here. It would be terrible if someone discovers you. Now that you are deep in the tiger's den, how many people can you defeat no matter how good your martial arts are? There are tens of thousands of people in the city."

"Siniang, do you care about me?" Jia Cong said with a smile.

"Bah, don't be so sentimental! Even though you are so careless, you are still a man. I just don't want you to die like this." Yang Siniang panicked and spat.

Jia Cong smiled and said, "Then how can we exchange news?"

"I'm just here to look for you. Anyway, all the bosses in the city want to recruit you now, so it makes sense for me to come and see if you can." Yang Siniang pretended to be calm and finished, carefully concealing the excitement in her heart.

Jia Cong smiled and said: "Then you can come to see me often. I have missed you these past few years."

"Bah, you are glib and talkative. You are not a good person. Do you think I am a three-year-old baby? I will not accept your trick." Yang Siniang spat, but the smile that could not help but bloom at the corner of her lips betrayed her heart unintentionally.

"Look if you don't believe me." Jia Cong spread the dagger in his hand.

Yang Siniang bit her soft lips and said softly: "Have you kept it with you these past few years?"

"Inseparable." Jia Cong said seriously: "To tell you the truth, I used this dagger when I strangled Shi Wuhuan."

Yang Siniang felt something touched her heart. She was a little happy and a little panicked, and said: "I don't believe in the rhetoric. You, an uncle, are afraid that there is no good thing to use. How can you like such a low-class thing like me?" "

Jia Cong smiled and put the dagger back into his boot, and said: "Although this dagger is not expensive, it is the fourth mother's heart. To me, it is worth more than gold and silver. Naturally, I will never leave it." For the sake of the great cause of the country, say a few words. There is no such thing as a kind word.

Yang Siniang suppressed her smile, rolled her eyes at him, glanced at the stool, and said, "You still have some conscience. I also keep the jade pendant you gave me last time."

Jia Cong followed her gaze and saw that there was indeed a Pisces and Lotus jade pendant on the stool. It seemed that he had asked Niu Dabao to borrow flowers and offer them to the Buddha as a gift to her.

He rolled his eyes and smiled: "This doesn't count. The jade pendant is not my own. I brought you a gift from Shenjing before coming here this time. You just need it today. It's a perfect match."

"What is it?" Yang Siniang asked curiously.

Jia Cong chuckled, took out a piece of cloth from his arms, and unfolded it gently. It was Daiyu's lake green butterfly love pattern Su embroidery tube top. He originally used it to play tricks on himself, but now he had to sacrifice it for the sake of national affairs. , I think Yan'er understands the righteousness well, so he shouldn't be blamed.

"How's it going? Do you like it? But it seems a bit small."

"You bastard, you're shameless! You're a dirty bastard!" Seeing him holding up her tube top as a treasure, Yang Siniang wanted to jump up and slap him twice, and cursed in a low voice, her ears already burning red.

"This is new. Look at this embroidery work, this material, and this color. Have you ever seen this in your little place? A dog bites Lu Dongbin, but he doesn't know a good heart.

I'll leave it here for you as a gift in return. Hey, hey, this is not bad, just give it to me. "

Jia Cong put the tube top on the screen and saw Yang Siniang's tube top next to it. As if he had found a treasure, he hurriedly took it off and unfolded it. It was a moon white satin bellyband with a sky-high pattern. The fabric was fine and the embroidery work was not good. But they don't have the pride of being a child of the world.

"You! You thief, give it back to me!" Yang Siniang was so ashamed and angry that she couldn't help but stand up, covering her chest with one hand and grabbing it with the other.

Jia Cong chuckled, took a step back, and hid, saying, "Be careful, your bath towel fell off."

Yang Siniang hurriedly covered herself up, sat back down, and said bitterly: "Don't let me catch you, little pervert! If you dare to humiliate me, I won't let you go!"

Jia Cong said: "You are so rude. I will give you a good one in exchange for your old one. Are you still not willing? If you tell me, I will take your pants too. I won't suffer any loss if I give you two for one." "

"How dare you! Bastard! You dirty little thief!" Yang Siniang said angrily.

"See if I dare." Jia Cong made a show of reaching for her panties.

Yang Siniang was shocked and ashamed. If her obscene pants fell into the hands of this lewd thief, she would be really shameless and ashamed to death. She hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, if I'm afraid of you, just take that. No!" Touch my pants.”

"It smells pretty good." Jia Cong chuckled, bringing the original bellyband to his face and sniffing it.

"Bah, that's obscene! Fortunately, you were born in the Duke's palace and are still the uncle of the imperial court, so you are not afraid of embarrassment!" Yang Siniang spat with a red face.

Jia Cong said: "Don't you know my other title?"

"what?"

"The most talented man in the world." Jia Cong smiled and said, "Isn't it my turn to do such elegant things?"

"Go away, you shameless thief." Yang Siniang was defeated by his shamelessness.

"Okay, I'm leaving then." Jia Cong put his bellyband in his arms and was about to leave.

"Wait." Yang Siniang suddenly stopped him.

"Huh?" Jia Cong looked back at her.

"You...when did you come in?" Yang Siniang mumbled and asked a question she already knew the answer to.

Jia Cong smiled dryly and said, "I didn't see anything. Take my leave, little brother." After saying that, he ignored her, opened the window gently, and fled.

This bastard! He looked at me all over my body! Yang Siniang was so ashamed that she shrank into the bathtub, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl in and never come out again.

He also hated Jia Cong so much that he was such a bullshit dragon, a romantic talent, and an uncle general, he actually peeped into his daughter's house to take a bath. He was not a human being!

Jia Cong slipped out quietly and returned to his residence with Cheng Lingsu via the same route without disturbing anyone.

"Brother Cong, is this trip going well? Just now, He Tieniu sent someone to say that due to the lack of food and grass, the heads of each family have decided to capture Zhangqiu first before discussing the future. We will discuss the matter tomorrow. I said you and your wife have gone to bed. Just let the person who came here hesitate and pass." Liu Xianglian said.

Jia Cong smiled slightly, patted the tube top in his arms, and said: "This trip can be considered as a harvest. Since we are going to fight in Zhangqiu, it just so happens that I will send you a certificate of surrender." Although Yang Siniang did not agree to submit, she never wanted to She betrayed herself and saw that she had actually made a choice in her heart.

"Brother Cong means..."

"Didn't I say I would be their vanguard?" Jia Cong said with a smile.

Liu Xianglian nodded, this was also a way to win the trust of the bandits.
-
Early the next morning, the bandit leaders gathered again at the county government office to discuss matters. At a glance, Jia Cong saw Yang Siniang sitting at the top, staring at him with an "evil look" in her eyes. He wondered if she was wearing Daiyu's tube top.

Jia Cong secretly laughed in his heart and quickly looked away, for fear of irritating her into a rage.

"Masters, our food and grass have been exhausted. We can't just sit and discuss things. We have to get some money and food first. We decided to fight Zhangqiu yesterday. Which master is willing to go?" Hu Bao said.

"It's still the old rule. Whoever defeats the enemy will get half of the money and food first, and the rest will go back to the army." A middle-aged man wearing an apricot-yellow Bagua robe said, but it was Liu Hongshuo, the leader of the Bagua sect.

"Okay! Count me in, Lao Huang." Huang Laosao, the leader of Meihua Village, raised his hand.

"We from Feihu Village are willing to serve the army." Li Laohu from Feihu Village also said.

"Wenxiang Sect has a stronghold in Zhangqiu. It can be considered as an internal response." Wang Miao, the leader of Wenxiang Sect, said. Hu Bao and others said: "Okay, it's enough for three groups of people to conquer the county seat. The three leaders should set off as soon as possible."

Everyone nodded. There were at least 40,000 to 50,000 people in these three groups. It was not easy to conquer a county.

Jia Cong suddenly stood up, clasped his fists and said: "My dear masters, I have just arrived and have not made any achievements. I am grateful for your love and acceptance. Now that I have this opportunity, I am willing to be a pioneer and sneak into the city first to take the head of the city guard dog officer, Zhangqiu." There will be chaos without fighting, and the leaders will have to spend less time.”

"Good! Brother Hu is so heroic!" All the leaders praised in unison.

"My lords, the cities in various places are now heavily guarded, and the army will be discovered as soon as it moves. The imperial court has issued strict orders. Anyone who abandons the city and flees will be killed. The officials will definitely defend. If we can capture the general first, the enemy army will be in chaos, and we can suffer less losses." Brother." Liu Xianglian said.

"Brother Hu is the only one who has the ability and courage to kill generals and capture flags. He deserves to be called a hero of Liaodong." Everyone nodded in agreement.

Seeing that everyone agreed and had no reason to object, Hu Bao and the other big guys nodded and said: "In that case, let's go to Brother Hu for a trip. As for Brother Liu and his younger siblings, how about following the army and supporting them later?"

Jia Cong knew that they were afraid that he would tip off the news and wanted to keep a hostage, so he smiled and said: "This is natural. Please also ask the leader Wang to send someone to arrange for me to sneak into the city."

Wang Miao smiled and said: "It's a trivial matter."

"Wait a minute." Yang Siniang raised her hand and said, "Now we are no longer less relaxed than in the previous cities. We have to be more secure. Even if I go to Heifeng Village, I will also go to Zhangqiu to be stubborn."

Everyone clasped their hands and laughed: "If Si Niang takes action, what can't she take? It's just that she is overqualified and underused."

Hu Bao frowned slightly and said: "Six Niang, the three groups are enough, so we don't have to join in the fun?"

Yang Siniang glanced at him lightly: "I will take the people there myself, and you can just stay here."

Hu Bao argued with her in front of everyone, so he could only nod his head and said: "You may want to stretch your muscles and bones, but be careful and don't show off."

"I want you to take care of it." Yang Siniang snorted coldly.

Everyone smiled when they saw this, thinking that they were a young couple having a conflict.

Only the woman next to him, wearing a white coat embroidered with lotus flowers, a white feather crane cloak with lotus patterns, and a red gold silk dotted with lotus seeds planted in the fire. The veiled woman glanced at Yang Siniang with a strange look in her eyes. , but said nothing.

Jia Cong also noticed this person. He had not seen her speak yesterday and today, and her face was covered. After a little inquiry from He Tieniu, he found out that she was the most mysterious Holy Mother of the White Lotus Sect.

She rarely shows up, and when dealing with people, she sends several hall masters and helmsmen to do the work on her behalf, so she only has a favorable eye for Yang Siniang, who is also a woman.

Huh, what a bullshit holy lady, you are so mysterious. When you go to the battlefield, you will know that your heresies are meaningless. It depends on your mouth or my gun, Jia Cong sneered in his heart.

At that moment, everyone agreed that the four groups of people going out for the expedition should go to prepare separately. Jia Cong and others also returned to the yard to clean up. He Tieniu diligently came to see him off and gave him a good horse.

Wang Miao also sent an entourage over to help him sneak into the city.

Jia Cong was explaining things to Cheng Lingsu and Liu Xianglian in the room when he suddenly heard He Tieniu's loud voice coming from the yard: "Hey, Siniang, why are you here? Please come quickly. You guys, I'm in charge of Yang Da." Watch the tea.”

Jia Cong's heart skipped a beat, what is this girl doing here at this time? Don't expose me.

But I heard Yang Siniang say: "Congratulations to Shibo. Brother Hu went to Longtan alone for the army and killed the thieves alone. His righteousness is so great. Siniang has always respected the hero, so I came here to have a cup of Zhuangxing wine with him."

He Tieniu saw the entourage behind Yang Siniang carrying a food box and said with a smile: "Siniang cherishes heroes and values ​​​​heroes. Lao Niu admires them. I almost made a mistake and thought you were here to drink with Lao Niu. Brother Hu and his wife are here I’ll send someone to invite you to the house.”

"I'll just go." Yang Siniang nodded and came over with a few people.

Jia Cong hurriedly opened the door to greet her, cupped his hands and said, "I have met Mr. Yang."

Yang Siniang returned the gift and said, "I'm here to practice for Brother Hu."

"Thank you, Master."

Yang Siniang waved her hand, and her two men carried the food boxes into the room and placed them one by one.

"You go and wait outside. I'll say a few words to Brother Hu and his wife and then leave."

"Yes."

Jia Cong had no choice but to bring her into the house.

Liu Xianglian was very clever and said with a smile: "Brothers, what are you doing standing around? Let's go to the courtyard and have a drink. Brother He, do you have any food and wine?"

"Yes, yes, yes." He Tieniu smiled and ordered people to bring food and wine.

The gangsters were greedy and nodded with smiles. Without doubting his presence, they followed Liu Xianglian to the courtyard to have a drink.

Inside the room, Jia Cong raised his eyebrows and asked, "Siniang, what are you doing here? Aren't you afraid that others will be suspicious?"

Yang Siniang ignored him, looked at Cheng Lingsu and said with a smile, "Is this sister also changed her appearance?"

Cheng Lingsu was stunned and looked at Jia Cong.

Jia Cong smiled bitterly and nodded, saying, "Why would I ask for such an ugly wife despite knowing it?"

Cheng Lingsu pursed his lips and smiled.

He is indeed a lecher! Yang Siniang cursed secretly, looked at Jia Cong and said: "This time you wear the white dragon fish suit, be careful. I will take care of Sister Lingsu."

Jia Cong said: "Thank you Siniang for your love, I will be careful. Also, have you considered that matter?"

Yang Siniang smiled coldly: "I was just going to tell you about this."

Seeing that there was something in her words, Jia Cong winked at Cheng Lingsu.

Cheng Lingsu was extremely alert, smiled slightly, and laughed loudly on purpose: "The wine is cold, I'll boil it while you guys chat." After that, he carried the wine bottle and went out.

Yang Siniang glanced at her back and said, "This sister is quite smart."

Jia Cong said: "Why are you so interested in my people? Let's get down to business."

Yang Siniang's expression suddenly became solemn, she glared at him fiercely, spread her palms and said: "Dirty guy, give me back my things."

Jia Cong was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He thought she was going to talk about surrendering to the imperial court, so he slapped her palm away angrily and said, "It doesn't matter whether you have a bellyband or not, it matters whether you have one."

Shameless! Yang Siniang's face flushed and she glanced at Jia Cong angrily. Knowing that there was nothing she could do against this shameless man, she simply said nothing and turned away with a stamp of her feet.
