The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 599

No valuable information was obtained from Alamu and the captives.

After researching with Miaoyu, Jiaoli, Liu Cheng and others, Baochai decided to stop at Woniugang temporarily.

During this period, they sent people out to scout around, hoping to find out where Jia Min was.

If you go on blindly, you are likely to get farther and farther away from your goal.

After Alamu was treated, he was taken hostage.His two men were divided into two groups, each group was monitored by two volunteer soldiers, and they went out to inquire about news.

Horse thieves have their own channels to inquire about news, and now they want to use their resources.Wait until you hear the news, and then come to redeem Alamu.

At the same time, the two guides, Mi Tianci and Mi Tianbao, each took a volunteer soldier, pretending to be a cobbler, and went out to inquire about news.

A day and night passed quickly, and the spies from all walks of life did not come back.

Baochai and Miaoyu stood on the highest point of Woniugang, looking around.

Looking around, it is full of white snow, and you can't see the edge at a glance, giving people a feeling of infinite emptiness.

"Being in this world, I feel that people are much smaller."

Miaoyu felt a little emotional.

"Yeah, everyone says they stand up to the sky, but how can they actually do it. I used to think that I was omnipotent, but now I can't even find anyone here."

"It's also because the grassland here is too big, and we are not familiar with it. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack. Finding people is not easy."

"If there is no news today, how to deal with it?"

"I just have to wait. Sigh, I don't know how Brother Min is doing now?"

"Fourth brother Min is auspicious, and he will be fine. I'm afraid he wants to complete his merits and fight the Mogu people here. Otherwise, if he wants to retreat, the Mogu people will not be able to stop him."

"I haven't retreated for so long, I think so. If it is true, this battle will be difficult. Once the ammunition is exhausted, you will fall into a passive position."

"Forget it, you don't have to think about it so much. It's always better than the sky. Everything has its own destiny. Go back and wait patiently."

When the two returned to the camp, the soldiers and coachmen inside gathered together in twos and threes, chatting together.

Although they were far away in the grassland at this time, everyone's mood was stable, and there was no sign of depression.

I have nothing to do when I'm idle, and I can't sleep, so Baochai and Miaoyu just chat with the girls.

All they talked about was Beihai and the past in the imperial capital. Everyone knew about the current situation, so they consciously didn't mention it.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the girls were about to leave when Tamara came in suddenly.

"The scouts reported that a group of troops came from the south. It seems that we are going to fight again."

"How many people came?"

"At least 2000 people, the exact number is unknown, and it is unclear who they are. However, it will take some time to get here, and the route is also heading here."

"Okay, get ready to fight. Does Liu Cheng know?"

"I have already told him, and he has started to prepare."

Everyone went out of the house, the camp was already tense, and the soldiers trotted into their positions.

After a while, from a distance, I saw a black spot appearing on the snow, and gradually, there were more and more black spots.

This is where the team comes in.

After about twenty minutes, it was already clear that it was a long line of soldiers and horses.

Did not raise much snow.Obviously the speed of travel is not too fast.

A scout flew over.

"They stopped marching and unfurled the flag of the People's Liberation Army with the word 'Zhao'."

"The flag of the Restoration Army, and the character 'Zhao', could it be Chang'an? How is it possible?"

Baochai looked at Miaoyu.

Miaoyu was also a little ignorant, if it was from Chang'an, it would be a bit of a surprise.

"Go and talk to their scouts, go over and see who it is. If he says it's Chang'an, go over and have a look."

"I'll go take a look."

As Liu Cheng said, he got up and got on his horse.

"Liu Cheng, be careful."

"Miss Xue, don't worry, I will be careful."

Twenty minutes later, Liu Cheng came back, accompanied by two cavalry, Chang'an and Lichun.

Seeing that it was really Chang'an, Baochai was stunned for a moment.She never expected that Chang An would come here.

Needless to say, the intention of coming to Chang'an is for Jia Min.Otherwise it wouldn't be here at all.

Previously, Baochai had a bit of resentment towards Chang'an, thinking that Jia Min was on an expedition to Mogu, but she stood by in Shengjing and enjoyed the success, and even kidnapped Jia Min with a marriage.

This makes Baochai feel contempt for Chang'an while resenting her.

So he came to the conclusion that it was his family members who were most concerned about Jia Min's safety, and outsiders were unreliable after all.

Therefore, there was this risky move of sending ammunition to Jia Min.

To a certain extent, this is also a prank and a challenge to Chang'an.It is a counterattack against Chang'an's threat to his position.

Of course, Baochai is a well-established person in the city, so naturally he can't lose face when he behaves at this time.

So he stood up and greeted him.Miaoyu and others also followed.

Chang An dismounted, and the two sides stood still about five meters away.

"I didn't know that His Highness came, but I couldn't go to greet him, please don't take offense. We are from Beihai, and we are in the army at this time, so we don't talk about the etiquette of a great virtue."

When Baochai said this, the status of both parties was confirmed.

We are no longer Dade's subjects, so we don't treat you like a princess, and we don't care about kneeling or anything.

Chang'an is also an extremely intelligent person, so he naturally understood what Baochai meant.

"We are all sisters, so why pay attention to those vain etiquettes. I came here this time because I heard that Miss Xue brought someone to deliver ammunition to Chief Min. She felt that there were few of you, so she came here to help. It was just for the safety of Chief Min and his party. Nothing else."

"Then thank you, Your Highness, and please talk in the room, please."

"Okay, I'm not going to be polite. It's getting late at this time, and I think there is enough water here. Tonight, we will set up camp together. I don't know what Miss Xue wants?"

"It's a great honor to ask for it."

"Lichun, let's call General Qu to arrange camping."

"Liu Cheng, you go to help them too."

After the arrangement was made, Baochai led Chang'an to the yurt.

Previously, when Changan was in Bukui, he had a good relationship with Baochai, Miaoyu and others.

Later, the Fubingtuan was abolished, and they didn't see each other again, and the people of the Fubingtuan inevitably alienated Chang'an.

When Jia's house was ransacked and Chang'an rescued the people of Jia's house, the relationship between the two parties became more complicated.

From the perspective of Jia's people, of course they hated the royal family, but they couldn't turn a blind eye to Chang'an's rescue.

It wasn't until this meeting that the relationship was gradually restored with San Francisco as the common enemy.

Unexpectedly, the marriage contract between Chang An and Jia Min suddenly appeared.

Although the elders in the family and Jia Min didn't know it yet, the girls also thought that it was true in all likelihood at this time.

For Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun, Shi Xiangyun and other unrelated people, the success or failure of this matter is not very important.

For Baochai, Miaoyu, Tamara and Qingwen, this matter involves their own vital interests.Therefore, they basically hold a repulsive attitude towards Chang'an.

However, both parties knew that this was not the time to discuss this matter, so they did not mention the marriage contract.

Chang'an brought people here, after all, they came to help, and they really couldn't get down with them.

The topic finally fell to the current situation.

Baochai didn't hide anything, so he introduced the current situation to Chang'an.After hearing this, Chang'an had no other choice, so he decided to stay with Baochai and wait for the spies to report back.

After discussing the business, and chatting for a few more words, Changan took his leave and left.

Before leaving, he invited Baochai and others to have a drink at her place tonight. Baochai felt that there was no urgent military situation at this time, and Changan sincerely invited them. He readily agreed.

"Miss Bao, why did you agree to drink with her? I don't think she has a good intention."

As soon as Chang'an left, Qingwen became unhappy and showed her true colors of an angry youth.

"Yes, Sister Bao, I think she is trying to win over you, and she will take your position in the future, so you have to be careful."

Miaoyu sprayed without hesitation, sowing discord by the way.

"Qingwen, don't talk nonsense, I think Chang'an is a pretty good person, even if he married Fourth Brother Min, he is also pretty good."

As Jia Min's younger sister, Tanchun's position is different from others.

"Yeah, she came to help us because she has Brother Min in her heart. I think Chang'an is a good person."

Yingchun, who has always been less talkative, also stood with Tanchun.

"Miss Lin, sooner or later you will marry Fourth Master Min. Which side do you stand on? There are already too many people now, and with the addition of Chang'an, maybe you will lose your share."

Qingwen took La Daiyu as a reinforcement.

"Qingwen, don't talk nonsense. Who is going to marry Jia Laosi? It doesn't matter to me whoever likes to marry?"

"Daiyu, didn't you say you would marry Fourth Master Min?"

"Why did I ever say that?"

"When I was drinking that time, I asked you if you would like to marry Fourth Master Min. Didn't you say yes?"

"Qingwen, you are a dead hoof, you know how to chew your tongue, you remember wrongly, I never said that."

"Oh, we both drank too much that day, maybe I remember wrongly. Tamara, would you like Fourth Master Min to marry Chang'an?"

"It doesn't matter. It's good to be married. One sheep is herding, and two sheep are also herding. Anyway, there is not one more of her."

"Tamara, who the hell are you from?"

"Miaoyu, don't worry, Fourth Brother Min doesn't know about this matter yet, who ever asked Fourth Brother Min if he is willing?"

"Okay, stop arguing."

Baochai interrupted everyone.

"I'm not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry? Isn't it just a dispute over who is the wife? It's just a title."

Seeing Baochai's generosity, everyone felt a little strange.

Everyone recognized Baochai's status as the main wife.

Would she be willing to give up her position?

"Marriage is a major matter, and the words of the matchmaker are decided by the elders. For thousands of years, this is the rule. Where can anyone change it?"

This time everyone understood that Baochai was emphasizing her marriage contract.

"Yes, Sister Bao is already engaged to Fourth Brother Min. This is set by the elders. Who can change it? They say that if there is a marriage contract, there will be a marriage contract? The elders of the Jia family have not yet approved it. Dade has already dead, I thought his family was the emperor.”

Miaoyu got to the point this time.

This time everyone was quiet and understood why Baochai was so confident.
