The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 625

Seeing that the old lady had talked for a long time, Jia Zheng couldn't help being disappointed when she came up with such an idea.

"Mother, it doesn't seem appropriate for Brother Min to handle this matter by himself. He is still young, so I'm afraid..."

"You are still young? Brother Min is not very old, but who laid down the foundation of Beihai? Who put down Koryo? Who captured Shengjing? Who laid down the emperor?"

"We are getting old, who can do these things? You can or I can?"

The old lady scanned everyone around.

"Besides, you don't know Brother Min's temper? Back then he dared not listen to me, but now if it doesn't suit his wishes, he will listen to us? Who of you can tell him to listen to you?"

"Don't worry, brother Ming always has his own ideas when doing things, as long as he sticks to Miss Bao, he will have his own ideas for the rest."

The matter is here, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, what other ideas can he have?
No one can figure it out.

"Brother Ming didn't mention this matter much in the letter, and he didn't care too much. Maybe he has some idea. Why should we worry about him? We just eat, drink, play cards, watch plays, these troublesome things Son, let Brother Min handle it by himself."

"Yes, yes, mother is right, we just have to have fun, and let Brother Ming handle these tricky things by himself."

Jia Amnesty agrees with the old lady's point of view.

Back then, when money was short, Brother Ming made money.

The house was ransacked, Brother Min prepared a way out in Beihai.

There is something wrong with Zhongtu, brother Ming leads troops to go out, and he can kill Jia Yucun and others to take revenge. Brother Ming will take care of everything, so why should I worry about it?
With that kind of skill, it is serious to eat, drink and have fun.

"Also, Miss Bao, Tamara, and Qingwen are all with Brother Ming now, and their affairs are settled. The rest of Miaoyu and Daiyu are my two. It's up to me to support their marriage."

"Miaoyu has been with Brother Min for so many years. I thought, she is also interested in Brother Min. That girl Daiyu has always been proud and arrogant, and it is difficult to get along with anyone. Piansheng can always be together with Brother Ming, maybe because he is interested in Brother Ming?"

"Write letters to brother Lian and Miss Bao, asking them to ask Miaoyu and Daiyu. If they are willing, they will give it to brother Ming together. After all, we are a family, so we don't have to go back and forth.

"Old Ancestor, isn't there a little more?"

Mrs. Wang was a little worried.

"One sheep is herded, and two sheep are also herded. As for the status, let Brother Ming find a way to arrange it for himself, and we don't care about it. It saves time when there are no people inside and out."

"Mandarin ducks, count them, are there any left?"

"No, that's all."

"Okay, let's leave it at that. Let's not bother with these trivial matters. Let's have a drink, go back to draw cards later, and watch a play at night."

After the old ancestor made arrangements, Ping'er secretly glanced at Qin Keqing.

Why didn't it fall, isn't it just one.

Qin Keqing was also a little complicated, but after staying in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice for so long, and now she is in Beihai, accompanied by Jia Yan, she is already satisfied.

Knowing that it won't be long before Jia Min may come back.Thinking that as long as Jia Min comes back, there will always be time together, my heart is full of longing and anticipation again.Unconsciously, I feel sweet in my heart.Looking at his son, it was like seeing Jia Min.

Beihai is concerned about Jia Min's marriage, but Jia Min himself has no time to care about these matters.

On the second day after conquering the imperial capital, Jia Min led his army to march straight to Niangziguan.

This time he brought the third brigade, the fourth brigade, the Wendura cavalry and 2 people from the Chang'an Restoration Army.

Three days later, Wei Ruolan and Jia Qiao met He Jialin and Zhou Tong, and the two sides formulated a battle plan to attack Han Qi in Niangziguan.

The imperial capital was captured, and the news of Han Tiandou's killing had already spread to Han Qi's army.The morale of the army was low, and soldiers began to desert.

At this time, Han Qi was at an absolute disadvantage no matter in terms of military strength or weapons and equipment.

Less than an hour and a half into the battle to attack Niangziguan, Han Qi was assassinated by his generals, and the rest of the troops surrendered when they saw that the situation was over.

The next day, Ma Qingshan wiped out the [-] San Francisco troops in Zhangjiakou, and sent his troops south.

General Yue Qifeng of Wuwei wiped out several other San Francisco armies, and also marched towards the imperial capital.

So far, San Francisco's forces in the imperial capital, northeast, north and northwest have all been eradicated.

At the same time, Chen Yejun's second brigade also captured Baoding and occupied Zhili Governor's Mansion.

Chu Yuanji's troops also captured the last strategic location of San Francisco, Muddy Water City.

After taking down Muddy Water City, Chu Yuanji went north to pursue the remnants of the San Francisco army.

At the same time, He Jialin, Yue Qifeng and Ma Qingshan went south, joined forces with Chu Yuanji, and surrounded the remaining [-] soldiers and horses of San Francisco.

After two days of siege, the San Francisco army was depleted of food and had no choice but to surrender.

So far, except for Li cadres who are still in Bashu, who have more than 1 horses from San Francisco, all the troops of San Francisco have been wiped out.

After returning from Niangziguan, the Volunteer Army and Vendura cavalry did not participate in military operations again.

At present, the recovery troops in Chang'an have already taken an absolute advantage, and there is no need for Jia Min to make another move.

In the past few days, Jia Min has returned to Yeduju.

At this moment, he is with Ma Qingshan.

Jia Min, Ma Qingshan, and Sun Yuanfei were all Jinshi in the martial arts examination back then, and the three of them had the best friendship.

"Oh, it's a pity I didn't see brother Yuanfei."

Ma Qingshan is still the same as before, no matter when, he always holds a fan in his hand.

"If you want to see him, come with me to Beihai, won't you see him?"

Jia Min said with a smile.

"I really want to go, but I'm entangled in mundane affairs, so I can't go away. My parents are also there, so it's hard to stay away. I heard that your Beihai is quite different from Zhongtu, is it true?"

"Of course it is true. If you ask more, you will know."

"They are all your people, so they will naturally say hello."

"Is my place okay? If it's not good, brother Yuanfei can still be there? He is willing to go."

"At first I thought you would be the emperor, and I wanted to follow you, seek a half-time official position, and be in the imperial court, so as to honor the ancestors, but I didn't expect that you would hand over the throne.

"Now you are also a hero for the restoration of the country, and you can also be in the court class."

"Forget it, if you don't want to be the emperor, I'll just go back to the northwest. The imperial capital is too deep, and you don't even want to be the emperor. What do I have to do with the false name of being in the imperial court?"

"That's fine. If you get tired of staying in the northwest in the future, go to Beihai and be with Yuanfei and the three of us. It's not bad. I may not have other strengths there, but there is one thing that absolutely doesn't exist elsewhere, that is, You don’t need to calculate each other, be wary of each other, and you can do things with one mind.”

The two were chatting casually when He Jialin and Zhou Tong came.

Along with them, Wang Xin, the son of Wang Ziteng, and Master Jiang, the master.

After Wang Ziteng passed away, the two found out the cause of Wang Ziteng's death, went to Datong, and defected to He Jialin's command.

Seeing each other at this time, it was naturally a sigh of relief and a feeling of emotion.

"Huaiyuan, tomorrow we will win and replace Feng Ziying."

He Jialin has received orders from Chang'an.

"Alright, replace them as soon as possible, so we can go back to Beihai together."

"Will Huaiyuan really not stay here?"

"There are a lot of things going on in Beihai. I've finished my work here. It's time to go back."

"Huaiyuan's lofty character and integrity are admirable."

"No matter what, I just do what needs to be done. I'm not suitable for this place, so I'd better go back to Beihai to be more comfortable. I'll leave it to you guys to track down Song Kuan and Zhou Xuezhuang."

"Don't worry, Huaiyuan, they won't be able to escape."

Ever since the imperial capital was captured, Song Kuan had disappeared, along with Zhou Xuezhuang.

At present, Wei Ruoshui is still tracking down the whereabouts of these two people.

For Song Kuan, Jia Min actually admired him very much.It was precisely because of Song Kuan's ability, and because Song Kuan was one of the culprits who planned to kill Jia Yuanchun and Wang Ziteng, Jia Min was unwilling to let him go.

While talking about Song Kuan, Wei Ruoshui came back, saw He Jialin and Ma Qingshan present, he hesitated to speak.

"Just say anything, there are no outsiders here."

Jia Min said.

"Officer Min, we found Song Kuan."

"where is it?"

"In the village below Xiangyun Temple, I went to Xiangyun Temple to offer incense every day for the past two days."

"Xiangyun Temple is right under our noses. This Song Kuan has played the safest game in the most dangerous place. I thought he would have gone far away. Why does he always go to the temple to offer incense?"

"Pray for the blessing of the Buddha."

Ma Qingshan said without thinking.

"Have you seen Zhou Xuezhuang?"

Jia Min didn't quite believe the saying of praying for blessings.

Song Kuan, who has always been confident, would not pin his fate on imaginary things.

"No, maybe Zhou Xuezhuang is hiding in Xiangyun Temple?"

He Jialin raised doubts.

"Probably."

Jia Min felt that He Jialin's suspicion was reasonable.

"We have been secretly monitoring, even if Zhou Xuezhuang is in Xiangyun Temple, he can't escape."

"Come on, let's go and meet Song Kuan."

As Jia Min said, he led the people out, told Jia Qiang to take Ni Er's battalion, and went to Xiangyun Temple.

Xiangyun Temple is indeed very close to Yedu Residence, less than two miles east of Liujiazhuang.It is only four miles away from Yeduju.

About [-] meters away from Xiangyun Temple, there are about [-] families. These families, apart from their own land, usually rent the land of Xiangyun Temple to cultivate.Therefore, these families can also be counted as tenants of Xiangyun Temple.

In the east, near Xiangyun Temple, there is a courtyard.Green brick and red tile house, three main rooms, and two side rooms.

"It's here."

Wei Ruoshui pointed to the courtyard.

"Okay, let's go in."

Wei Ruolan, Jia Qiang, and Ni Er went up to knock on the door, but there was no movement inside.

"Open the door, if you don't open the door, the cannon will be fired."

Ni Er shouted loudly, raised his gun, and fired two shots into the sky.

This time there was movement inside.A man dressed as a farmer in his fifties came out and opened the door.

"Is there Jia Min and Jia Huaiyuan here?"

The visitor ignored others and asked Jia Min.

"I am."

Jia Min took two steps forward.

"My family invites you in."

"Who is your heir?"

Jia Qiang asked.

"He is the person you are looking for. Jia Huaiyuan, do you dare to go in and tell my family?"

"Haha, why don't you dare? I'll go meet Brother Song."

Jia Min stepped into the yard.

"Officer Min..."

"Just wait here, I'll go in."

Without further hesitation, Jia Min approached the main room, opened the door and entered.
