The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 569 The status of Chang'an

The Battle of Santunli basically wiped out the main enemy forces in northern Goryeo.

The Koryo army of some size south of Santunli had already withdrawn to Seoul.The remaining small groups of troops could not stop the Tatar cavalry at all, and there was no good strategy except for some limited harassment.

For these small troops, either ignore them, or leave a small number of people to deal with them, and the large troops will keep moving forward.

Eight days later, Wendula's cavalry arrived in Fengshui.It is only 120 miles away from Seoul.

The team was advancing, and suddenly a person stood in the middle of the road, blocking the way.

This man was dressed in white, with a rifle on his back and a short gun in his waist. He was riding on a horse, as if he was looking up at the sky and the clouds that were slowly moving in the sky.

"Who dares to block the way here, get out of the way quickly."

"Call Chief Simari to come out and talk to me."

"Who are you?"

"Wei Ruoshui, a friend of Chief Xi Mairui."

"You are Wei Ruoshui?"

"Hahaha, so I'm so famous, if you meet anyone, you will know me."

"I do not know you."

Wei Ruoshui couldn't help feeling a little frustrated.

I killed so many big shots in North Wendura, but there are still people who don't know me?
"I'm Jia Min and Jia Huaiyuan's subordinate of the Beihai Volunteer Army. You should know each other this time, right?"

"Oh, it turned out to be the subordinate of Chief Min, why didn't you tell me earlier? I'll go and call for Chief Xi Mairui."

Tch, Chief Min still has face.

Soon, Simrey came.

"Oh, isn't this the captain of the guard? Long time no see."

"Unexpectedly, the head of Ximeirui still remembers me."

"The captain of the guard has done so many great things in North Wendura, how many people don't know your name? Chief Min is behind, come with me."

After Wei Ruoshui left Busan, he went to Daejeon, met Chen Yeqing, and told about Chang'an and his party, so Chen Yeqing immediately arranged to raise winter clothes.

Wei Ruoshui heard that Jia Min was coming, so he went straight north to meet Jia Min.

Wei Ruoshui told Jia Min about Chang'an, Jia Min was also very surprised.However, he was very happy that Chang'an was out of danger.

"At first I was still worried about her, but this time it's okay, I didn't expect to meet her here, it's God's will."

"Master Jiang, Wang Xin, and I have basically investigated the murder of Lord Wang and Concubine Jia. It was the conspiracy of San Francisco, Luo Qihua, Luo Musheng, Li Yuan, Jia Yucun, Concubine Zhou and others."

"Okay, it won't be long before I will settle accounts with them."

"Regarding Concubine Jia, the eunuch Zhou in the palace knows some details, and he can testify at that time. Eunuch Zhou is currently in Chang'an."

"Leave this matter to you. Don't let them run away. As for the witnesses, it's not that important. As long as we think who is involved in this matter, we can settle the score with him. It's not a trial, There's no time to talk to them. It doesn't matter if you kill one more or one less."

"Minister, I know what to do.

"How is Chang'an?"

"I'm in good spirits. I'm very happy to hear that you are here. She said she can't go to Beihai."

"Of course there's no need to go. It's so far away. I have to come back when the time comes. It's really troublesome."

Chief Min's tone is wrong, it seems that there is something in the words.

"His Highness Chang'an said that Prince Jing, Ji Dashi, Dai Quan and Nan'er went to Beihai to look for you."

"Oh, why did they get together? Didn't they say what to do with me?"

"I asked His Highness Chang'an, but she didn't say anything, it seems that there is something hard to say."

"What unspeakable secrets will Chang'an have? Where are they now? It is estimated that they will hear news on the way, and they will find us at that time. Alright, tell me how Brigadier Chen and the others are fighting."

At noon the next day, Jia Min and his party arrived at Qingshuili, five miles away from Seoul, and set up camp here.

At this time, the main force of the Koryo army had all retreated into the city.The surrounding areas of Seoul have been wiped out by Chen Yeqing and Chang'an's troops who arrived earlier.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Princess Chang'an, Chen Yeqing, Chen Yetong, Huang Tianyun, Luo Xingshan, Zuo Linliang, Lichun, Xu Canjiang, Qu Canjiang, Liu Huaide, Qiu Liang and others arrived in Qingshuili.

Looking at the yurt not far in front of him, Chang An felt inexplicably nervous.

He probably hasn't seen Bachelor Ji and Dai Quan yet, right?If we met, it would be embarrassing to meet each other under such circumstances. It's really embarrassing.

So, when I met him, do I need to tell him about it?Let's not talk about it.Where did you say this kind of thing?Only when others say it, the elders in the family agree, and the matchmaker has passed the word, can we make it clear.

However, if it is clear, it seems that it is not good.

According to the etiquette, once you are engaged, you cannot meet each other.It won't be easy to be together in the future.It's better not to say it first, but we can still be together.

In this way, Chang An was both happy and apprehensive, and gradually approached the yurt.

The vanguard had informed Jia Min of the arrival of Chang'an and others.At this time, Jia Min and others were waiting in front of the yurt.

Similui glanced at Shaq and Vadagas, and they nodded, so Similui came over.

"Officer Min, there is something that I need to ask Officer Min to show me."

"Ximerui, what are you saying so solemnly?"

"His Highness Chang'an is here, what etiquette should we meet?"

Jia Min understood Xi Mailui's meaning.The Dade Dynasty is gone, and Chang'an is no longer a princess.Xi Meirui should be in trouble because of this matter.

"Ximerui, didn't you tell yourself that she is His Highness Chang'an? What kind of etiquette do you say we should meet?"

"Oh, Chief Min, I understand."

Shimeri sneaks up to Shaq and Vadagas.

"Did you hear, His Highness Chang'an is still a princess. Officer Min already recognizes her as a princess, so what are we talking about? It's always right to follow Officer Min."

When it was about a hundred meters away, Jia Min and others went up to greet him.

When the distance was about twenty meters, Chang An and others got off their horses and walked over.

Chang'an's heart beat even more violently, and his heart became flustered. For a moment, his experiences of these days quickly flashed through his mind.

When she came to the front, she wanted to look relaxed, and wanted to talk to the person in front of her with a smile.

However, when she wanted to say something, she forgot what she wanted to say, and she didn't succeed in laughing. Unconsciously, tears flowed down her cheeks.

"His Highness Chang'an has worked hard, I have seen His Highness."

Jia Min's mood at this time is actually very complicated.

He knew Chang'an's feelings for him.But because of his tense relationship with the Dade Royal family before, he didn't expect any results with her.

In fact, for Chang'an, he has always regarded her separately from the Dade Royal family.Especially this time at a critical juncture, Chang'an came forward to intercede for the Jia family, which made her even more fond of Chang'an.

But at this time, under the watchful eyes of everyone, it is hard to say anything, and they can only meet each other with courtesy.

Chang An also reacted quickly and wiped away his tears.

"Minister Min has worked hard, and I would like to thank Mr. Min for giving us winter clothes."

"Your Highness, you are being polite. Your Highness has saved my Jia family, so you should thank Your Highness. Come and see Your Highness."

So Jia Min introduced Shaq and Wadagas to Chang'an.

Xi Mairui had seen Chang'an when he was fighting the Sidwa people when South Wendura was pacified, so he was an acquaintance this time.

If the generals of the two sides did not know each other, they met one by one, and if they knew each other, they greeted and joked with each other.

It was the first time for Luo Xingshan, Liu Huaide, General Xu, and General Qu to meet Jia Min, but they already knew about Jia Min, and they were very affectionate when they met this time.

"Brother Qiu, I didn't expect that we would meet here. It's true that we never meet in life."

"Huaiyuan, this time there is no way out. I originally planned to go to Beihai to join you, but I didn't expect to meet you here. I feel a little ashamed."

"Brother Qiu, you are being polite. There is no need to go to Beihai this time. Your Highness, everyone, please go to the yurt to talk."

So everyone came to the yurt, and the room was immediately full.

There are already chairs in the room, and two are placed side by side in the front.

After Chang An came in, he hesitated for a while, not knowing where he should sit.

If it is based on status, she is the highest status here.But that was a long time ago.

I am now the princess of the previous dynasty, and if I speak more seriously, I am actually an ordinary person now.Although everyone still treated her like a princess just now, he couldn't take it seriously.

Just at this time, Jia Min came over, pulled her sleeves, and led her to the chair in front of her.

"His Royal Highness's position is here. Now that I am the head coach, I will stay beside His Highness."

As Jia Min spoke, he sat down on the chair next to him.

At this moment, Chang An didn't hesitate anymore, and sat down.A warm feeling rose in my heart, and gradually, I felt sweet in my heart, and my face became a little hot.

Chen Yeqing and other members of the Laofu Corps are familiar with Chang'an and have a good impression of it.In their minds, their attitude towards Chang'an was actually the same as that of Jia Min, they looked at him separately from the royal family.

The ones who were more nervous were Luo Xingshan, Xu Shenjiang and others.

In their hearts, they still regard Chang'an as a princess now.But at this time, his strength was meager, and this time he was going to join Jia Min, so he felt a little worried.I was afraid that Jia Min would neglect Chang'an.

This is also because they don't know the relationship between Jia Min and Chang'an, otherwise they wouldn't be nervous.

Seeing Jia Min treat Chang'an like this at this time, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

In fact, Lichun is the least worrying thing at this time.

She has been following Chang'an, and she has known Chang'an's feelings for Jia Min for a long time.

Now among these people, she is the only one who knows that Emperor Yuanheng has betrothed Chang'an to Jia Min.

Now that he has reconciled with Jia Min, knowing that Chang'an will be safe from now on, Lichun can't help feeling very comforted.

At this time, seeing the two sitting side by side, I felt a little touched in my heart.

It's a match made in heaven.

When everyone sat down, Jia Min coughed lightly, and there was no movement in the room immediately.

"Brigade Commander Chen, tell me about your battle plan."

"Officer Min, we are going to attack the city like this..."

Chen Yeqing got up, walked to the front wall, and began to explain on a map.
