Chapter 792 So sad that I laughed out loud (1st update)
The group of people brought out by Shen Jinlan naturally returned well. The only missing person was Shen Jinlan, who was chasing the "enemy".
When others caught up, they only saw the blood-stained handkerchief and armor he left behind. These people searched for a long time but could not find Shen Jinlan, so they could only come back in grief, anger and pain.
Naturally, Yuan Suifeng would not blame them. Originally, he and his master sent people to pretend to be Prince Jian's people, in order to lure Shen Jinlan out.
Originally, Yuan Suifeng didn't necessarily intend to kill him, but he couldn't resist Shen Jinlan's cruelty and planned to lead these two thousand soldiers who trusted him to a desperate end and use their heads to accomplish his feats. If it weren't for Yuan Suifeng and Wei Che Being prepared, they intercepted the Qiang soldiers who were about to intercept and kill them. I'm afraid not many of these two thousand people could survive.
In order to prevent Shen Jinlan from jumping out in the future, Yuan Suifeng sent people to look for his "corpse", and then made a similar figure with a bloody face to pretend to be the other person, and buried him directly there, which was considered a dead body. Never have future troubles.
Yuan Suifeng in front of people naturally showed sadness for Shen Jinlan's death, while people in Queen were happy for their sister Baoshu.
He rubbed his face and said, "I'll go back and practice for one more day before leaving!"
He had to practice it perfectly, otherwise he would be worried that he would laugh out loud when he was sad in front of others.
On March 29, Yuan Suifeng left the border and returned to the capital in person with the battle report.
When he arrived in the capital, before he could return home, he went to the palace to report the good news to the emperor.
When Emperor Rong Ji received the news, he couldn't help but reveal a cheerful smile on his face, "Okay! You and Wei Che did a good job!" Although every battle report will be sent over as soon as possible, it is not as good as what Yuan Suifeng said personally. So shocking.
After this battle, more than 30,000 Qiang soldiers were captured, and more than 40,000 people were killed. The Qiang people were beaten to the point where they actively sued for peace. This can be said to be the biggest victory for everyone and the Qiang people in a hundred years, and they defeated Daxia. In the next twenty years at least, the Qiang people will not dare to invade, and the two countries will have long-lost peace. The people on the border will no longer need to suffer from harassment by the Qiang people.
Moreover, this victory is enough to scare the monkeys and let Daxia's neighbors live in peace.
Rong Ji was so excited that he wanted to consecrate Yuan Suifeng and Wei Che on the spot. With Yuan Suifeng's achievements, it was not too much to confer a title of uncle, right? Wei Che had just been canonized as a Marquis some time ago, but this time he was as a The great general's achievements are so dazzling that even if he is enthroned as a duke, the ministers in the imperial court will be embarrassed to say anything. If they have the ability, they can also achieve such achievements.
Well, we can wait until the peace talks between the two countries can be conferred.
Yuan Suifeng coughed lightly and said, "I have another piece of bad news here."
His tone turned sad.
Rong Ji's heart went straight to his throat, fearing that he would hear some bad news from Yuan Suifeng.
Yuan Suifeng sighed, "Unfortunately, my brother-in-law died on the battlefield. His body could only be buried locally and he brought back some of his clothes."
It turns out to be Shen Jinlan.
Rong Ji breathed a sigh of relief and quickly reacted. He also showed a bit of sadness, "He is also a rare general. It's a pity that the weather is not holiday, so I pity your sister."
Yuan Suifeng said: "I know my sister's temperament well. Once she identifies someone, she won't give up so easily."
Rong Ji felt that the child Yuan Baoshu had suffered this time, and in order to better deceive Shen Jinlan, he did not hesitate to gamble on his happiness for the rest of his life.
Well, he will issue an imperial edict in a few days, so that the little girl cannot be allowed to suffer from gossip.
Yuan Suifeng only mentioned a few words about Shen Jinlan, and then handed the emperor a long letter written by his master. It was written in more detail, including how they used Shen Jinlan and Prince Jian to settle the matter. Strategy. Because he was afraid that the partition wall had ears, Yuan Suifeng didn't mention these just now.
After Yuan Suifeng left the palace with a large amount of rewards, Rong Ji read the letter several times and couldn't help but show joy on his face.
A court meeting will be held in the next few days to discuss the peace talks. As for the envoys for the peace talks, Rong Ji has already thought about it, so he will let Suijun go there. The ministers in the court have their own thoughts and have a good face, so they may not be interested in serving the great people. Xia strives for benefits as much as possible.
He still trusts his nephew's abilities.
Even Rong Ji, who was accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves, couldn't help but feel excited that he could achieve such military success under his own rule.
With the arrival of Yuan Suifeng, word of this great victory spread throughout the capital. It can be said that the people in the capital were beaming with joy. Recently, the most popular storytelling theme in teahouses and restaurants is the pair of masters and disciples, Yuan Suifeng and Wei Che.
Everyone said that they were the Ziweixing sent to Daxia by God, leading them to be invincible.
Of course, they also paid some attention to Shen Jinlan.
It's such a pity that Shen Jinlan was as brave as Yuan Suifeng, but his luck was bad and he died at the hands of the Qiang people.
How sad the eldest lady of the Yuan family will be when she finds out.
Not long ago, this unmarried couple was considered a talented and beautiful couple, but now they have ended up like this. How can people not feel sorry for them? Especially when they heard the news that Yuan Baoshu fell ill, they felt pity for them.
In the princess's mansion.
Yuan Baoshu, who fell ill, was actually forced to rest at home by Su Yueling. In the past two years, Baoshu has been running around everywhere, like a spinning top, with no time to rest. It's a good time to let her relax. People can't be tight all the time. Tighten that string.
Yuan Baoshu also knew that her sister-in-law was doing it for her own good, and since her fiancé had passed away, she had to behave well and prepare for her future happy life.
So these days, she basically stayed in her yard, either reading the story books from her sister-in-law, or sorting out the account books sent from various places.
The small kitchen even went to great lengths to prepare delicious food for her.
Yuan Baoshu could only reluctantly choose the one she liked the most, otherwise she was afraid that she would gain five pounds when she appeared in front of others.
As for Su Yueling, it was rare for her to refuse guests who came to her door.
Those who were close to her knew that the Yuan family was sad and in a bad mood at the moment, so they came to express their condolences in person and then went back.
But there are also some people who are short-sighted and think they can take advantage of this opportunity to seize this marriage. If it were not for the sake of settling things once and for all, Su Yueling would never even meet such an idiot.
Mrs. Yongxinhou said with concern: "Baoshu is doing well these days."
Su Yueling said: "In the days when I first received the news, I couldn't eat. These days, I can only use some rice porridge."
Mrs. Xu of Yongxinhou continued: "Baoshu is indeed a person who values love and righteousness, but people cannot be resurrected after death, so she has to look forward. I think if General Shen knows something underground, I hope she can find out her sorrow and find the truth as soon as possible. My own happiness. As my sister-in-law, you should try to persuade her more."
Su Yueling said: "But Baoshu said that General Shen has no father or mother. It would be too pitiful if no one remembers him after his death. Since she is already his fiancée, in her heart, she is He is his wife. So she has to stay with him for at least three years."
Well, after three years, if Baoshu changes her mind and wants to raise a little wolfdog or something, it won't be too late.
Mrs. Xu felt like she was being strangled. Three years... how could her son afford to wait?
This Yuan family actually lets her do whatever she wants?
Su Yuecheng said with emotion: "I'm very pleased that Baoshu is such a sweetheart. I think General Shen would be very pleased if he knew about it. She is worthy of the fate between the two of them."
"The emperor also sent people to care about this matter, and Baoshu only said that she would stay with him for a few more years."
Su Yueling had already said this, what else could Mrs. Xu say? She could only grit her teeth and praise Yuan Baoshu, which made her mouth sore afterward.
When Mrs. Xu was about to leave, the chamberlain came with the imperial edict.
The imperial edict praised Yuan Baoshu a lot, saying that she was kind-hearted and dedicated to helping the old, weak, sick and disabled in difficult situations, and then named her the county head.
Mrs. Xu immediately knew that there was no chance. Although the imperial edict had never mentioned Shen Jinlan's affairs, she had not conferred the title sooner or later, but the fact that she was canonized at this time showed that the emperor also agreed with this matter.
