The Tatars disposed of their captives in no more than these ways.

One is to exchange as a prisoner of war exchange for those who have been captured by the other side.

In this battle, the Tatars basically captured the soldiers of the imperial court, and the imperial army did not capture the Tatars at all.

Therefore, this is the easiest and least expensive road, and it will not work.

The second is to redeem as a hostage, if this road is feasible, it is also a feasible way for Jiafu, which is nothing more than spending money.

The third is to do hard labor for slaves, and endure hardships and burdens. If you can survive, you can survive.

Fourth, being a soldier as cannon fodder is actually the same as a slave.

Fifth, it is to serve as a target for the opponent's military training. This one is more miserable, most of them are tortured to death.

There is also a possibility, which is to capture it and kill it.

However, judging from the situation this time, Baoyu and Jia Huan were not killed at that time, and it is estimated that they will not be killed immediately when they go back.

From Baoyu and Jia Huan's point of view, their first reaction when they were arrested was to tell each other that they would ask their families to ransom them with money.

However, this is not easy to do.

The first is that they are too far apart and it is inconvenient to communicate information. It is difficult for the other party to get in touch with Jiafu. They don't just send people out and spend months doing it. 、

For the Tatars, in Windula was their world, and when they arrived in the Han land, they could not move an inch. Whether or not there is such an interest in taking risks is a big question.

Besides, their captives are all uniformly distributed, and it is very likely that they just want to save trouble and simply send slaves.

There is also a possibility that the two brothers, Baoyu and Jia Huan, killed each other.

Jia Huan killed Jia Rong, and Baoyu killed Mingyan. No one wants to let the government know such a secret.

Once they feel they have hope of coming back, they will try to hide the secret. At this point, killing someone who knows the secret is almost an instinctive choice.

Baoyu may hesitate because she is more cowardly.

However, Jia Huan was almost certain to get rid of Baoyu.

In this way, you can not only keep your own secrets, but also eliminate your opponents in the battle for the heir.

Even Jia Rong can be killed, and there is nothing he can't do to Baoyu.

When Jia Min said this possibility, Jia Lian realized that he had been ignoring this problem.

"Fourth Brother Min, when you say this, it makes me wake up, this third brother of the ring can really do this."

"The best outcome is that the two of them are not together, otherwise, Baoyu will be in danger. What does Ancestor mean? ”

"The ancestor said, get Baoyu back, as for Huan Laosan, alas, even if he comes back, where will Brother Zhen let him go? If you don't care about him, it's ...... after all, alas. ”

"Let's not talk about this first, whether we can save them back or not, now it's two talks. I understand the purpose of your coming. Do you think I have a way to get them out? Even if I return to Bukui, the strength of the Yifu Corps is no match for the Tatars now. ”

"Alas, it's all because they didn't listen to your advice in the first place, otherwise, where would there be today."

"Forget it, Second Brother Lian, it's useless to talk about this now. Let me think about it again. In any case, in the end, they are brothers, as long as there is hope, they still have to work very hard. ”

This matter made the fourth brother Min embarrassed. Brother Xue also regrets it now. ”

"Forget it, I won't be like him. What's the use of beating him and scolding him at this time? ”

"The old ancestor said that she planned to marry Miss Lin to Baoyu."

"I understand what the ancestor meant, Miss Lin is also pitiful. Let's go, the food and drinks should be good, let's talk about it after dinner. lest they wait for us. ”

When Jia Min and Jia Lian arrived, the wine and food were indeed ready, waiting for the two to come to the banquet.

Although the food and drinks were abundant, no one had the heart to eat and drink. After hastily drinking two glasses of wine and eating some food, it was over, and then they went back to their rooms.

Jia Min went to Xue Pan's room and asked about the situation in detail, including the appearance of the Tatars who had captured Baoyu at the beginning.

Xue Pan was also frightened at the time, and he couldn't remember clearly. Speaking of which, nothing of value was said.

Jia Min comforted Xue Pan for a few words, and that's it.

Then he came to Mrs. Wang's room, and after retiring the maid, there were only two people left in the house.

"Brother Lian told you?"

"It's all said."

"Regret should not have listened to you in the first place, so that today's disaster is today. Now not only Baoyu, but even Brother Xin has no news, and he doesn't know life and death, and his brother and sister-in-law are also worried about it. ”

Mrs. Wang said, unconsciously bursting into tears. I don't have the usual calm and calm look anymore.

"Mother don't talk about the past. It is also their meritorious service that they do not know how powerful the Tatars are. Even the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty tried their best to fight, thinking that victory was within reach, not to mention the second brother Bao. ”

"I still have to count on you for this matter, no matter what, Baoyu is your brother after all, and Brother Min has to lend a hand and think of saving him back."

"I went to the palace yesterday to see your sister, and she was also worried about it. It's up to you to say this. She told me to tell you that there is nothing she can do about it, and the only hope is in you. I hope you will be reluctant to make it difficult for the sake of the family. ”

"Now, she doesn't expect Baoyu to win any more fame, if she can come back by luck this time, she will be a rich idler in the future, and her life will be safe."

I wanted to save him, but how easy was it to say?

"Mother, rest in peace, I'll do my best."

Jia Min also wanted to comfort Mrs. Wang, but there was nothing to say at this time. No matter how comforting, it's just some pale words.

Now that my sister said the same, he couldn't say anything, so he quit.

As soon as he went out, he saw Baozhu waiting for him.

"Fourth Master Min, Grandma Rong invites you to come over and talk."

For Keqing, Jia Min's feelings are very complicated now.

Keqing was pregnant, and Jia Min knew that it was her own child.

Jia Rong died, and on the surface, there was one less obstacle between herself and Keqing. However, Jia Min just didn't feel the slightest sense of joy.

Faintly, he also felt guilty and felt a little sorry for Jia Rong.

When Jia Min entered the guest room, he saw Keqing leaning on the quilt, and Ruizhu was helping to clean up the quilt. Baozhu came in and made tea, and went out with Ruizhu.

Although they don't know what happened yet, these people suddenly arrived in Zhili, and one by one they were in abnormal moods, and they realized that something big must have happened.

However, the masters did not say it, and it was difficult for them to ask. I can only wait carefully while wondering in my heart.

Jia Min sat down on the ground and did not try to get close to Keqing.

As soon as Jia Min sat down, Keqing burst into tears.

"But the Qing Festival mourns and changes, the matter has come to this, you still have to take care of your body."

"Fourth Uncle Min, I feel a little sorry for Uncle Rong."

Jia Min didn't expect that Keqing's first sentence would say this.

For a moment, he was speechless.

"I'm not the fourth uncle. It's just that Uncle Rong's departure always makes me feel as if I have done something wrong. For the past two days, my heart has been very uncomfortable. ”

"But don't blame yourself, it's Jia Huan who is wrong."

"I know so, but I just can't turn the corner."

Although Jia Rong was not in tune, when Jia Zhen harassed Keqing, she didn't have the courage to protect Keqing, but in normal times, she was still good to Keqing. It's basically accommodating.

Jia Min still understands Keqing's psychology. If you want Keqing to turn around in her heart, it will still take a while.

"I know that Fourth Uncle Min is also in trouble now, but now everyone in the house is helpless, and others can't count on it. Therefore, I came here this time to ask Fourth Uncle Min to look at the relationship between the two of us, reluctantly make it difficult for him, and give Uncle Rong an explanation. ”

"What does Keqing want me to do?"

"I don't care what happens to Second Uncle Bao, as long as Fourth Uncle Min doesn't go to save Na Jia Huan and come back, let him be a slave to the Tatars forever, even if it is an explanation to Uncle Rong."

"Okay, I'll agree to Keqing."

Jia Min agreed without thinking.

Keqing's request, Jia Min couldn't refuse.

Besides, this requirement is really not high.

Keqing didn't ask him to kill Jia Huan, he had already considered Jia Min.

No matter how bastard Jia Huan is, he is also his brother, and if he is asked to kill Jia Huan, it will be difficult for him to start after all.

In fact, Jia Huan has no possibility of returning to Jiafu now, and staying with the Tatars may be his best destination now.

"Then thank you Fourth Uncle Min."

Keqing's thank you couldn't help but make Jia Min feel a little lost.

Jia Rong's death not only did not shorten the distance between him and Keqing, but instead made him feel estranged.

He knew that he and Keqing now had a hurdle in their hearts. This obstacle will take time to smooth out.

He really wanted to comfort Keqing again, hoping to share her worries, but he couldn't do anything. After saying a word, take care and come out.

Then we arrived at Lichun.

He knew that when Lichun came, he also brought news of Chang'an.

For Chang'an, Jia Min's mentality is also quite contradictory.

From the perspective of being a member of his subordinates, he is also very anxious for Chang'an.

From the perspective of the identity of the princess, he felt that he was in a hurry again, and it was a little redundant.

At this time, it seems that the most anxious person should be her emperor father. The emperor is not in a hurry, why am I in a hurry?

Ping'er and the magpie are here in the beginning of spring, and there is no need to hide anything at this time. Lichun told him what had happened.

Hearing that Chang'an was now in the Wendula Mountains, Jia Min was also a little relieved. Even the Tatars want to deal with people who have been trained to survive in the wild in the deep mountains and old forests, it is not an easy task.

It's summer, and the food in the mountains is abundant, so it shouldn't be much of a problem to survive for the time being.

However, in autumn, especially in winter, when the mountains are covered by heavy snow, it will face a severe test.

Hearing Li Chengbin's three last words, Jia Min was also embarrassed.

For Li Chengbin, Jia Min actually admires it very much. If he doesn't die, Li Chengbin is definitely a handsome man in the military.

Such a person was martyred for the stupidity of the emperor, which made Jia Min feel very sad.

As for what Li Chengbin said, asking the emperor to ask him to go to Wendula to clean up the mess, Jia Min can only laugh now.

Now, he didn't expect the emperor to have such an open-mindedness and consciousness at all.

Just like the pig teammates in Jiafu, Jia Min didn't expect them to wake up much.

Despite this lesson, who can guarantee that after a while, they will not forget?

Therefore, when Jia Min heard the news of Baoyu and the others, he didn't even bother to get angry, and he didn't bother to accuse them at all.

At this time, they all came to me, what have you been doing a long time ago? How capable am I? What can turn the tide?
