Red Mansion, Ningfu Scholarly Family

Chapter 298 Cross-dressing boss
……

Next to Liu Xianglian stood a young actress with a slender figure and a pretty face. She bit her red lips and said, "Brother Liu, don't be careless. The Jinyiwei have recruited many powerful characters recently. They can no longer be underestimated."

Liu Xianglian cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Brother Jiang, for reminding me. I won't act on impulse. When that bastard Zhao Quan is alone, I will find a chance to kill him and avenge my brothers!"

Xiao Dan felt relieved after hearing what Liu Xianglian said, and continued, "The Jinyiwei has been investigating strictly recently. Why don't you take shelter at Prince Beijing's residence for a while? The prince has always been open to heroes like Brother Liu. Besides, with the support of Prince Beijing, it will be easier for Brother Liu to seek revenge."

"No!"

Liu Xianglian shook his head decisively: "I am used to being free and lazy. The White Lotus Sect couldn't keep me even if they offered me the position of hall master, let alone Prince Beijing."

Xiao Dan sighed: "Brother Liu is so free and easy, I can't compare to him."

"What do you mean by free and easy? I'm just a dog that has lost its home." Liu Xianglian laughed at himself, and suddenly remembered that he was penniless. It would be very inconvenient to avoid the search of the Jinyiwei at this time, so he said: "Brother Jiang, do you have any silver? Can you lend me 10 or 20 taels temporarily? I will return it as soon as I have money."

"Yes, I have it. Not to mention ten taels, I have even a hundred taels. It's just... my money is all in Prince Zhongshun's mansion. I'm afraid it will be difficult to get out once I'm in." Xiaodan said helplessly.

"Forget it then." Liu Xianglian certainly would not force anyone to do anything, and said with a carefree smile: "I'll go ask Brother Bao to see if he has it."

Xiao Dan stood up and said, "Brother Liu is not available right now, so why don't I go find Brother Bao and explain the matter on his behalf? I'm sure Brother Bao will be generous and donate."

Liu Xianglian cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Brother Jiang!"

Xiao Dan: "You're welcome, brother."

"By the way, brother Qin Zhong has gone to the Duke's Mansion and lives with Baoyu. Brother Liu doesn't have to worry about brother Qin's safety." Xiaodan reminded.

"Really? That's great!" Liu Xianglian was a little happy, and then said: "I heard that his family was raided by the Jinyiwei and I was worried for a long time. By the way, how are his family members?"

Xiao Dan shook her head: "I only heard that he was captured by the Jinyiwei. No one knows what happened to him, whether he is alive or dead."

That's already putting it in a positive light.

Everyone knows that it is very difficult to join the Jinyiwei... Especially Qin Zhong's sister, who is so beautiful.

"hateful!"

Liu Xianglian pounded his fist on the table and said angrily, "When I have the chance, I will avenge them!"

At one moment, the young actress went back to change her clothes, and when she came out again, she was wearing men's clothes. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Baoyu's good friend Jiang Yuhan. Who else could it be but Jiang Yuhan, the good friend of Baoyu?
Jiang Yuhan was entrusted by Liu Xianglian, so she naturally did not dare to neglect it. After changing her clothes, she hurried to Rongguo Mansion and handed the invitation to Baoyu.

As luck would have it, Jia Zheng did not go to the clan school to teach today, and happened to meet the servant who was delivering the invitations at home.

"Look at you, you're in such a hurry to have fun, why are you running?"

"Ah! Second Master." The servant hurriedly bowed and said, "Second Master Bao's friend Jiang Yuhan sent a letter..."

"Humph!"

Before the servant could finish his words, Jia Zheng snorted coldly, "They are all Baoyu's bad friends, idle all day long and do not do their jobs. Come, beat them out with sticks!"

"Yes!"

Several servants hurriedly came forward with sticks in their hands: "Second Master has ordered that those who come here be beaten out with sticks!"

Although Jia Zheng was useless, he was still the high and mighty Second Master in the eyes of the doorman, so how could he dare not disobey? He was about to take out a stick and beat him.

At this moment, the master came back from outside after drinking.

"what happened?"

Jia She frowned and asked casually.

Several servants were so frightened that they dropped their sticks and knelt on the ground, hesitatingly saying, "Someone came to look for Master Bao, and the Second Master found out. He wants us to beat him out with sticks..."

Jia She was already about 70% drunk at this time. He asked casually and didn't take it too seriously. He walked in with unsteady steps before everyone finished speaking.

The servants then breathed a sigh of relief, and when they looked back, there was no trace of Jiang Yuhan.

……

"Unfortunately, I was caught by the second master of the mansion. Not only did I not get the loan, but I almost got beaten up." Jiang Yuhan said dejectedly after returning. "It's okay."

Liu Xianglian patted Jiang Yuhan on the shoulder and sighed, "It's true that even a penny can make a hero fail. If it doesn't work out, I can only go out and 'borrow' some money temporarily."

Jiang Yuhan knew that Liu Xianglian was going to become a thief on the beam. If he was not forced into a desperate situation, he would never do that.

"Brother Liu, I'll think of another way..."

Before he finished speaking, someone outside shouted, "Is it here?"

"Yes, I'm not mistaken. That person is Liu Xianglian, dressed as a woman, very conspicuous."

"Search quickly, don't let anyone escape!"

The two people in the room looked changed.

Oh no, it’s the Jinyiwei!
"Brother Liu, hurry up!"

Jiang Yuhan said anxiously.

"Brother Jiang, what are you going to do? Let's go together!" Liu Xianglian values ​​loyalty the most. He will never abandon his good brother and run away alone.

"Brother Liu, don't worry. Prince Beijing will save me!"

"Well, take care of yourself!"

Liu Xianglian kicked the back window and broke it, then rushed out of the window like a gust of wind.

The Jinyiwei outside came in a hurry and before they could surround him, Liu Xianglian broke through the encirclement in a few moves with his agility. He even had time to kill two unlucky Jinyiwei with a sword. Just as he was about to leave, another team of Jinyiwei came towards him, and each of them was holding a bow and crossbow.

Got it!

Liu Xianglian's heart skipped a beat.

"Haha, that's him!"

Zhao Quan laughed loudly while riding on his horse and ordered, "Catch him alive!"

The Jinyiwei armed with bows and crossbows dared not act rashly, and even stepped back unconsciously.

Damn, who in Kyoto doesn't know that Liu Jilang is a martial arts expert, and killing people with a sword is as easy as cutting vegetables? You tell us how to capture him alive?
During this moment of hesitation, Liu Xianglian immediately spotted a gap and secretly felt lucky. If the Jinyiwei had fired crossbows at him as soon as they met him, he would have died on the spot even though he was a skilled martial artist.

Now……

The sword flashed, and the few Jinyiwei who retreated slowly felt a chill on their wrists, and a flash of blood appeared. Their entire palms fell to the ground along with the crossbows.

Everyone was shocked!

This is too cruel!

You don't even say hello?
They all ran back.

Zhao Quan was trembling all over.

If Liu Xianglian had been a step later, or had spoken a word, or turned around and ran away, he would have been sure to catch him!

Because the Jinyiwei had surrounded him from all sides, this was a trap set up specifically for Liu Xianglian.

Dead end.

But there was a huge flaw in this perfect dead end.

Zhao Quan knew very well that he was the flaw.

As long as Liu Xianglian catches him and threatens him...
