Chapter 569: The Question of Chang'an's Status
The Battle of Samtun-ri basically wiped out the main enemy force in northern Goryeo.
The Goryeo army, which had previously been south of Samtun-ri, had already withdrawn to Seoul. The remaining small armies could not stop the Tatar cavalry at all, and there was no good way to do it 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 army keeps advancing.
Eight days later, the Windula Iron Rider arrived in Feng Shui. It's only 120 miles from Seoul.
The procession was advancing, when suddenly a man stood in the middle of the road, blocking the way.
The man was dressed in white, carrying a rifle and a short gun pinned to his waist, and was riding on a horse, as if looking up at the sky and the slowly moving clouds in the sky.
"Who dares to block the way here, quickly dodge."
"Tell the head of Simari to come out and talk to me."
"Who are you?"
"Wei Ruoshui, a friend of the head of Simary."
"You are Wei Ruoshui?"
"Hahaha, it turns out that I'm so famous, just meet someone and know me."
"I don't know you."
Wei Ruoshui couldn't help but be a little frustrated.
I've killed so many big people in North Windura, and there are still people who don't know me?
"I'm a subordinate of Jia Min and Jia Huaiyuan of the Beihai Volunteer Army, you should know each other this time, right?"
"Oh, it turned out to be Chief Min's subordinates, why didn't you say it earlier? I'll go and call you the head of Simary. ”
Hey, it's still Chief Min who has face.
Soon, Simari arrived.
"Heh, isn't this the captain of the guard, long time no see."
"I can't imagine that the head of Simari still remembers me."
"The captain of the guard has done so much in North Windura, how many people don't know your name? Chief Min is behind, come with me. ”
After Wei Ruoshui left Busan, he went to Daejeon, saw Chen Yeqing, and told him about Chang'an and his party, so Chen Yeqing immediately arranged to raise winter clothes.
Wei Ruoshui heard that Jia Min was also coming, so he went north directly and came to greet Jia Min.
Wei Ruoshui told Jia Min about Chang'an, and Jia Min was also surprised. However, he was still very happy that Chang'an was out of danger.
"Originally, I was worried about her, but this time it's okay, but I didn't expect to meet her here, it's really providential."
"The murder of Lord Wang and Concubine Jia has been basically investigated by me, Master Jiang, and Wang Xin. It was the three feudatories who conspired with Luo Qihua, Luo Musheng, Li Yuan, Jia Yucun, Zhou Guifei and others. ”
"Okay, it won't be long before I'll settle accounts with them."
"Regarding the matter of Concubine Jia, Eunuch Zhou in the palace knows some details and can testify when the time comes. Eunuch Zhou is now in Chang'an. ”
"I'll leave this matter to you, don't let them run away when the time comes. As for witnesses or anything, it's not that important. As long as we think who's involved, we'll settle accounts with him when the time comes. It's not a trial case, so I don't have time to talk to them. Kill one more, kill one less, it doesn't matter. ”
"Chief Min, I know what to do.
"How is Chang'an?"
"I'm in good spirits, I'm very happy to hear you're here. She said she wouldn't go to the North Sea. ”
"Of course you don't have to go, it's so far, and you'll have to come back then, it's troublesome."
Chief Min's tone is wrong, it seems that there is something in the words.
"I heard from His Royal Highness Chang'an, King Beijing, Scholar Ji, Dai Quan and Nan'er went to Beihai to find you."
"Oh, how did they get together? Didn't you say what to do with me? ”
"I asked His Royal Highness Chang'an, but she didn't say it, it seems that there is something unspeakable."
"What will Chang'an have to hide? Where have they been? I guess I'll hear the news on the road, and I'll find us when the time comes. Okay, tell me how they fought, Brigade Commander Chen. ”
At noon the next day, Jia Min and his entourage arrived at Qingshuili, which is five miles away from Seoul, and set up camp here.
At this time, the main force of the Goryeo army had all retreated into the city. The surrounding area of Seoul has been cleared by Chen Yeqing and Chang'an's troops, who arrived in advance.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Princess Chang'an, Chen Yeqing, Chen Yetong, Huang Tianyun, Luo Xingshan, Zuo Linliang, Lichun, Xu Shenjiang, Qu Shenjiang, Liu Huaide, Qiu Liang and others arrived in Qingshuili.
Looking at the yurt not far in front of him, Chang'an's mood became inexplicably nervous.
He shouldn't have seen Scholar Ji and Dai Quan yet, right? If you do, it will be embarrassing to meet in such a situation, and it is really a bit embarrassing.
So, when I saw him, did I need to tell him about it? Let's not talk about it. Where can anyone say such a thing? It always has to be said by others, the elders in the family have agreed, and the matchmaker has spoken, so that it can be clarified.
However, if you find out, it doesn't seem to be good.
According to the etiquette, if you are engaged, you can't meet. It's not good to be together in the future. It's better not to talk about it for now, we can still be together.
In this way, Chang'an was both happy and apprehensive, and gradually approached the yurt.
The top soldiers had already informed Jia Min of the news that Chang'an and others were about to arrive. At this time, Jia Min and the others were waiting in front of the yurt.
Simary glanced at Shaq and Vadagas, and the two nodded, so Simary came over.
"Chief Min, there is something I have to ask Chief Min to show me."
"Simary, what is it that you say so solemnly?"
"His Royal Highness Chang'an has come down, what etiquette should we use to meet each other?"
Jia Min understood what Simari meant. The Dade Dynasty is no longer there, and Chang'an is no longer a princess. Simari must be embarrassed by this.
"Xi Mairui, didn't you say that she was His Royal Highness Chang'an? What kind of etiquette do you think you should meet? ”
"Oh, Chief Min, I see."
Simari slipped up to Shaq and Vadagas.
"You heard it, Her Royal Highness Chang'an is still a princess. Chief Min has recognized her as a princess, what else do we say? It's always right to follow Chief Min. ”
When the distance was more than 100 meters, Jia Min and others greeted him.
When the distance was about twenty meters, Chang'an and the others dismounted and walked on foot.
Chang'an's heart beat even harder, and his heart became flustered, and for a while, his experience these days quickly flashed in his heart.
When she came to her, she wanted to make a relaxed appearance, and she wanted to smile and talk to the person in front of her.
However, when she wanted to speak, she forgot what she was going to say, and she didn't laugh, and unconsciously, tears flowed out.
"His Royal 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 the tense relationship between himself and the Dade royal family, he didn't expect any results from him and her.
In fact, for Chang'an, he has always treated her separately from the Dade royal family. Especially at the critical juncture this time, Chang'an came forward to intercede for the Jia family, which made her have a good impression of Chang'an.
But at this time, in full view of everyone, it is difficult to say anything, so you can only meet each other with courtesy.
Chang'an also reacted quickly and wiped away his tears.
"Chief Min has worked hard, and I want to thank Chief Min for giving us winter clothes."
"Your Highness is polite, Your Highness once saved my Jia family, and I should thank Your Highness. You've all come to see Your Highness. ”
So Jia Min introduced Shaq and Vadagasi to Chang'an.
When he pacified Southern Ventura, when he was fighting with the Sidwa, Simari had seen Chang'an, so he was an acquaintance this time.
The generals on both sides did not know each other, so they met one by one, and those who knew each other greeted each other and joked.
Luo Xingshan, Liu Huaide, General Xu Shen, and General Qu Shen all met Jia Min for the first time, but they already knew about Jia Min and his affairs, and they were very affectionate when they met him this time.
"Brother Qiu, I didn't expect to meet here, it's really a place where you don't meet in life."
"Huaiyuan, this time I was also desperate, I originally planned to go to Beihai to join you, but I didn't expect to meet here, but I was a little ashamed."
"Brother Qiu is polite, you don't have to go to Beihai this time. Your Highness, ladies and gentlemen, please go to the yurt room and talk about it. ”
So the people came to the yurt, and immediately it was full.
Chairs were already set up in the room, two in the front, side by side.
After Chang'an came in, he was a little hesitant for a while, not knowing where he should sit.
If it is according to the identity, she is the highest here. But that was before.
She is now a princess of the previous dynasty, and if you are more serious, she is actually an ordinary person now. Although everyone still saw her as a princess just now, they couldn't take it too seriously.
At this moment, Jia Min came over, pulled her by the sleeve, and led her to the chair in front.
"Your Highness's position is here, and now that I am the boss, I will live next to Your Highness."
Jia Min said, and sat down on the chair next to him.
Chang'an didn't hesitate at this time and sat down. A warmth arose in my heart, and gradually, I felt sweet in my heart, and my face became a little hot.
Chen Yeqing and other people from the Laofu Corps are familiar with Chang'an and have a good impression of it. In their hearts, their attitude towards Chang'an, in fact, is the same as Jia Min, they all look at him separately from the royal family.
The more nervous ones were Luo Xingshan and Xu Shenjiang and others.
In their hearts, they now also regard Chang'an as a princess. But at this time, his strength was meager, and this time he was defecting to Jia Min, so he couldn't help but be a little worried. I'm afraid that Jia Min will snub Chang'an.
This is also because they don't know the relationship between Jia Min and Chang'an, otherwise they won't be nervous.
At this time, seeing Jia Min doing this to Chang'an, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
In fact, the least worrying thing at this time is Lichun.
She has been following Chang'an, and she has long known Chang'an's feelings for Jia Min.
Now among these people, she is the only one who knows that Yuan Heng Tianzi has married Chang'an to Jia Min.
Now that he has made peace with Jia Min, knowing that Chang'an will be safe from now on, Lichun can't help but feel comforted.
At this time, seeing the two sitting side by side, I felt a little touched in my heart.
It's a natural pair.
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."
"Sir Min, we are going to attack the city like this......."
Chen Yeqing got up, walked to the front wall, and explained on a map.
