After the rebellion was successful, I realized that this place was the Red Mansion

Chapter 12 Designation
Jia Lian walked out of the master's study, looking a little dazed.

In the past two days, people in the capital city did not seem to take the bandit king's siege of the city seriously. Although they were panicked, they all felt that the bandits would disperse in just three to five days, or at most one or two months.

But now, even the concubines in the palace are preparing white silk, which is enough to show how corrupt the situation in the court is!
His elder sister Yuanchun, who was in the palace, was so rich and majestic when she came back to visit her parents.

However, faced with hundreds of thousands of bandits outside the city, he had no choice but to hang himself with a white silk thread.

As for the emperor sitting high on the dragon throne, all the princes and ministers whom the Jia family had not dared to offend in the past were trembling in fear under the attack of Prince Qian Chu Yan, hoping only to save their lives.

How many people in the Jia family can clearly understand the current situation?

"It's a pity, it's terrible, my family is pitiful..."

While Jia Lian was thinking about random things in his mind, he entered the Grand View Garden and happened to meet the Bao brothers chatting and laughing with the sisters in the garden. Lin Daiyu, Bao Xiaoxiao, Shi Da Meimei, Bao Er Meimei and others were all there.

After meeting him, except for Lin Daiyu, Yingchun, Tanchun and Xichun, as well as Shi Xiangyun, the other young girls all moved away from him to show that they were not men or women.

Several people came forward to greet each other. Baoyu asked with a smile, "Where did Second Brother Lian go in such a hurry just now?"

Lin Daiyu and Jia Lian are also cousins. When her mother died, it was Lian's second brother who went to Yangzhou to pick her up and bring her to the Jia family. Although they have rarely seen each other in recent years, their relationship is much closer than that of Jia Rong, Jia Lan and others.

She was also listening on the side, very concerned about the bandits outside.

Jia Lian smiled and said, "I went to discuss something with the master... Baoyu, you didn't go to practice martial arts today?"

The fences in the Grand View Garden are still there, and one can faintly hear the shouts of the servants training inside.

Jia Lian's words had the faint tone of an elder brother admonishing a younger brother. Jia Baoyu immediately dropped his smile and said awkwardly, "I feel uncomfortable wearing that armor. The servants sweat and the whole garden stinks. I don't know how long it will take for these bandits to disperse. It's better to send them out of this yard as soon as possible."

Jia Tanchun glanced at Baoyu and said, "Second brother, what you said is a little inappropriate. If the enemy army attacks the city fiercely, we may have to rely on them to help defend the city. If we smell the stench of sweat, we can just light some incense."

Jia Baoyu laughed and said, "It's okay with the cloth blocking it off, but once you get inside it stinks."

Everyone knew that he was a little mentally ill. He once said that girls are made of water and men are made of mud. When he saw a girl, he felt refreshed, but when he saw a man, he felt a foul smell.

Therefore, no one bothered to argue with him. Jia Lian shook his head and said, "Baoyu, you should find something serious to do as soon as possible."

As he spoke, he looked at Shi Xiangyun and asked with a smile, "Did Miss Shi come just this morning?"

Shi Xiangyun smiled and said, "I just arrived this morning. When I got here, I heard that there was something going on in my second brother's garden, so I hurried over to take a look."

At this time when the rebel army is besieging the city and chaos is rampant, the Shi family still lets her live here. Could it be that the Shi family...

Jia Lian didn't think about it any further. After chatting with them for a few words, he decided to go inside the fence to see how the servants were practicing.

At this time, a maid came hurriedly to report: "Second Master Lian, Master Eldest Uncle sent someone to tell you something."

"My uncle called me?"

Jia Lian was stunned. He was a generation older than Wang Ziteng. Wang Ziteng had never sent anyone to say anything to him directly. At most, he would say a few words to his wife Wang Xifeng.

The maid hurriedly replied, "The person sent by my uncle said that the court has assigned my uncle to negotiate peace with Prince Qian, and wants you to go with him!"

Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu, Shi Xiangyun, Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun, and a few girls in the distance all turned their heads and looked over in surprise.

"Go back quickly, I'll change my clothes and come over!"

Jia Lian hurriedly instructed her. The maid responded and hurried off to the second gate to report. Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "Second Brother Lian has become the ambassador for peace talks."

Jia Lian was also puzzled. He did donate money to become a fifth-rank Tongzhi, but since it was a donation for an official position, it was not his turn to come forward and talk to Prince Qian.

Shi Xiangyun smiled and said, "I heard that the thief king Chu Yanchang has three heads and six arms. Second brother Lian might have seen what he looks like when he goes there this time. Second brother, please tell us about it when you come back!"

As she spoke, she also gestured with her hands as if she had three heads and six arms, trying to scare people. Because she was young, only slightly older than Jia Xichun, she looked particularly cute and adorable when she made these gestures. All the girls were amused by her and started making fun of her.

Jia Lian was in no mood to play with the girls in the garden. After giving Baoyu some instructions, he hurried out of the garden and went back to his room to change his clothes.

As he was leaving, Wang Xifeng happened to return and called out to him, "What are you doing out again? Are you going to look for one of those Sun and Li families again?"

Jia Lian didn't bother to pay any attention to the woman and walked out without looking back. Wang Xifeng chased him out and sneered at him, "Well, you didn't even say a word to me? Don't come back tonight! I'll tell Ping'er to lock the door, and you can go and sleep with whichever vixen you want!"

Jia Lian was forced to stop and turned around and said coldly, "My uncle asked me to negotiate peace with Prince Qian. I was just about to go and discuss it with my uncle. Do you want to come and see me?"

Wang Xifeng was surprised and looked at him in confusion. "You're going to negotiate peace? You've never been a proper official before. Why would your uncle ask you to go?"

Jia Lian didn't answer and hurried to Jia Zheng's study.

The two of them didn't discuss what happened, so Jia Lian had to go out and ride to Wang's house.

A servant was already waiting there, and as soon as he arrived, he was immediately led into the mansion.

Jia Lian soon met Wang Ziteng. After exchanging greetings, he asked him, "Uncle, I wonder why the court asked my nephew to accompany the envoys to negotiate peace?"

He talked with Jia Zheng and pondered over it all the way, but he still didn't know why he was asked to accompany him to negotiate peace.

Wang Ziteng pondered for a moment and said, "The court has sent the Prince of Beijing, the Military Affairs Council Counselor and Minister of War Zhuang Shangshu, to go with me to the Qianwang military camp to negotiate peace."

He looked at Jia Lian deeply and said slowly, "As for you, when we sent people to the Qianwang army camp to discuss peace, the Qianwang specifically asked for someone from the Jia family to go."

"Prince Qian designated my family?!"

Jia Lian was very surprised. He thought about it again and again, but he had no idea what the relationship was between his family and the rebellious King Qian.

If you insist on saying there is one, it means that Prince Qian conquered Jinling a year ago, and Jinling is the hometown of the Jia family. Since Jinling was occupied, there has been no news from there, and the Jia family has no idea what happened to the old house now.

Does this even matter?

The Zhen family has always been in Jinling, but the Jia family is only a distant relative of the Zhen family, and has nothing to do with Prince Qian.

"I don't understand why either." Wang Ziteng paused and said, "I haven't told the court about this. I only told everyone that I was asking you, a junior, to accompany me. Lian'er, don't tell anyone else, as it could easily cause trouble. I'm telling you this, but be careful what you do after entering Prince Qian's camp."

Jia Lian was terrified and felt a great sense of responsibility.

If he is not careful, he and the Jia family will fall into the abyss!

"Come on, follow me to see Prince Beijing and Minister Zhuang."

Wang Ziteng stood up, and Jia Lian hurried to follow. After they left the room, he suddenly remembered something and asked tremblingly, "Uncle, the Qianwang army... has a rule that when two armies are fighting, they don't kill envoys, right?"
