Chapter 378: Submission of the Surrender
Chapter 378: Submission of the Surrender
"I've seen Lord Yan, Princess Yan." Although this monarch is now the emperor, he is also a prisoner of the lower ranks, and he naturally did not dare to slack off on the arrival of Chu Ruoyan and Li Luobing, and used the highest specifications to entertain them.
"No need to give so many courtesies, since you have decided to surrender, then hurry up and write a letter of surrender, and go to Mingyue Kingdom with this king to submit it in person!"
Go to the Bright Moon Country in person to submit the surrender letter? The monarch of the Northern Xinjiang Kingdom was stunned for a moment, this is the center of the Northern Xinjiang Country, and there is still a long distance from the Mingyue Kingdom, do you want him to wade through mountains and rivers to the Mingyue past?
Not to mention whether the road is long or not, it is difficult to predict the various dangers encountered along the way.
"What, does the emperor have any questions?" Chu Ruoyan raised his eyes to look at him while asking, and after seeing Chu Ruoyao's sharp eyes, the Northern Frontier Monarch knew that this matter was something he could not escape.
"There is no doubt that it is appropriate to go and submit the surrender in person, just let me clean it up."
"The king is waiting for you right here." Chu Ruoyan and Li Luobing sat at the table and said.
"Your Majesty, do you really want to go to Mingyue in person?" While he was collecting his things, the little eunuch next to him asked him.
"The way you are now, do I have a choice if I don't go?" The Northern Frontier Monarch said with a wry smile.
As long as the surrender is handed in this time, the people can live a stable life, and they can keep the position of king.
He now regrets his arrogance very much, in order to expand his territory, he rashly launched an attack on the Mingyue Kingdom, and he had been safe for the past few years, but he didn't expect this person to surrender directly after he came.
It didn't take long for the monarch of northern Xinjiang to pack up his things and take them out, followed by two little eunuchs.
Chu Ruoyao looked at the two little eunuchs and frowned, but didn't say anything, this is a long way to go, and he still needs some people to take care of him.
"Let's go!" After seeing him clean up, Chu Ruoyan stood up and walked out of here first.
The monarch of the northern frontier shook his head, and also walked out of the palace, and when he left the palace gate, he looked back here again, and he didn't know when he would come back next time.
"Does the emperor know what happened here now?" There was a conversation in the carriage.
"I should already know it now, I have ordered someone to draw up a secret fold about the situation here and send it back to the capital, and I should have received it at this time."
"I didn't expect the attack on northern Xinjiang to go so smoothly this time, and now it seems that the border will be stable for a long time, which must be good news for the people." Thinking of the suffering suffered by those people, Li Luobing's expression unconsciously became heavy.
"This time thanks to you, without you, they would not have progressed so fast, and naturally it would be impossible to win this war." The two looked at each other and smiled, and the air was filled with a warm atmosphere.
After leaving the territory of the Northern Frontier Kingdom, they first returned to Chaoyang City, and when they heard that Marshal Shen had returned from their expedition, City Lord Li led a large group of people out to greet them.
At that time, for the sake of the stability of Chaoyang City, Marshal Shen originally wanted to let City Lord Li go with him, but in the end he left him in the city and sent him a force to protect the safety of Chaoyang City.
"Congratulations to the marshal on his triumphant return! See the prince, see the princess. ”
The surrounding people rushed to their knees on both sides of the road, while the soldiers who had participated in the battle before walked proudly from the middle of the road.
Chu Ruoqi subconsciously wanted to get the people up, but was stopped by Marshal Shen next to him.
"Just let them kneel!" Marshal Shen's tone was very sincere, and seeing him like this, Chu Ruoyao nodded and accepted the kindness of these people.
"Those soldiers who were captured before, if they want to stay here, let them stay here, and if they don't want to stay, they can be allowed to return to the north for the time being, but they must be guarded by our people. ”
”
Chaoyang City is just a small place, and it can't accommodate so many people at all.
"What if they don't obey?" Marshal Shen was a little worried.
"Disobedience, no. Know that their kingdom is in our hands. ”
Chu Ruoyan gestured to the side, and Marshal Shen understood. The monarch of the northern frontier is going to Chaoyang City to submit a letter of surrender, at least until he returns, everyone will not act rashly.
After realizing all this, Marshal Shen relieved his heart, and at the same time, he also knew that this meant that Chu Ruoqi and the others were leaving here.
"Lord Yan, princess, are you about to leave Chaoyang City?" Chu Ruoyan didn't speak, just nodded.
Marshal Shen was silent for a while: "When will you leave?" ”
"I'll leave tomorrow."
Hearing that the time was so close, Marshal Shen's heart sank, after getting along with Chu Ruoyan and the others for such a long time, he had already developed feelings for these people, and he was very reluctant to leave suddenly.
"Marshal, don't worry, this king thinks you are a good commander, even if this king is not here, Chaoyang City will definitely become very prosperous under your governance, not to mention the support of City Lord Li." Chu Ruoyao patted Marshal Shen's shoulder and looked at City Lord Li next to him.
At this time, City Lord Li had already turned his rivalry with Marshal Shen into a jade silk, and immediately nodded in agreement after seeing Chu Ruoyao's eyes.
"Okay, then King Yan and Princess Yan will take care of themselves along the way." Shen Shuai knew that Chu Ruoyan would not stay in Chaoyang City forever after all, so he could only nod and agree.
The next day, when Chu Ruoyan and Li Luobing left, not only the people, but even the soldiers in the barracks all rushed to the door to see them off, and the soldiers who had been trained by Li Luobing before shed tears one by one.
They have been changed a lot by Li Luobing during this time, and they can't accept this fact for a while, and the meaning of parting has been entangled in everyone's hearts.
After leaving Chaoyang City for a long distance, Li Luobing was still sullen.
"What? Are you reluctant to be here? ”
Li Luobing nodded, indeed, the people here are very cute, unlike the people in the capital, who are intriguing everywhere. The thought of leaving here and returning to the whirlpool of the capital made Li Luobing have a little headache, but this is what Princess Yan must experience.
"Don't worry, everything is with me, you don't have to worry too much. As long as we can send the Northern Frontier Monarch to the Mingyue Kingdom safely to submit the surrender letter, then even if our mission is completed, if you don't want to stay in the capital, you can do it. ”
Chu Ruoyao sensed Li Luobing's meaning and opened her mouth to persuade. Hearing his promise, Li Luobing smiled.
"By the way, how are your injuries?" Li Luobing thought of Chu Ruoyao's injury.
In the previous battle with the soldiers of the Northern Frontier Country, Chu Ruoyao was hit by multiple sword wounds, and he has not completely healed until now. Chu Ruo raised his arm, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
"It's not in the way, it's just not too active."
"Then let Yang Zhen and Yang Ning strengthen their vigilance along the way, but don't have any accidents, your injuries are not healed yet, and there is no way to participate in any fights."
"I know my body, it's fine." Chu Ruoyao didn't want to admit defeat in front of Li Luobing, and kept being strong.
"Don't forget, I came to heal the wounds on your body, and only I know the exact damage." After seeing Li Luobing's threatening eyes, Chu Ruoyan could only nod and say that he would definitely take care of his injuries.
In the capital, the news that King Yan and Princess Yan captured the monarch of Northern Xinjiang and beat the soldiers of Northern Xinjiang to the inland spread in an instant, and everyone inside and outside the court knew about it. There are many ministers who are on the fold, asking Chu Zhuangyan to invite Chu Ruoyan back to the capital.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that King Yan has made a great contribution this time, and there shouldn't be such a talent at the border anymore."
"Your Majesty, the ministers also think so......"
At one of the times, several ministers seconded the proposal. Chu Zhuangyan sat on top of the high hall, frowning and did not speak, and Chu Ruoyang, the king of Qin below, was also very unhappy when he saw this scene.
He originally thought that Chu Ruoya would leave the capital and go to the border, and he would never pose any threat to him again, but he didn't expect that he was far away in the sky, and he actually made everyone miss him in their hearts.
"King Qin, what do you think of this proposal?" Chu Zhuangyan suddenly asked him.
Chu Ruoyang was stunned for a moment, and then took a step forward: "Father, Erchen thinks that it is indeed a good choice to let King Yan come back. ”
The words he said surprised everyone present, who thought that King Qin would object because of this matter, but he didn't expect him to agree so obediently.
"I also feel that it is time to transfer King Yan back from the border, so that when King Yan returns to the capital, his mansion and the position of the prince will be restored."
The ministers below cheered, but in the heart of King Qin, they were very disgusted, and after he returned to the palace, he was furious, and the princess of Qin was frightened.
"What's wrong with Your Highness?" She asked, a little timidly. It's been a long time since I've seen Chu Ruoyang get so angry.
"King Yan may be coming back."
"King Yan?" Princess Qin didn't react for a while.
"Which Yan King can there be, not the person who was stupid for ten years before."
"But hasn't he been demoted to the border by the emperor? Why did it suddenly come back again? "Princess Qin doesn't know about Chu Ruoyi's defeat of the Northern Frontier for the time being.
"It's a long story, but I definitely can't let him step into the capital again." Chu Ruoyang gritted his teeth and said, "Now my father's heart already feels guilty about that fool, if this matter is added, I'm afraid his status in my father's heart will steadily rise, and it will have a great impact on my plan at that time." ”
