Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 487 Return to Shu Capital!
Heavy snow was flying, and the wind was cold.

Su Chen and Peng Qingqing sat in a carriage, wearing cotton clothes and covered with a thick blanket, followed the returning team, and approached the capital of Shu Kingdom.

"The capital of Shu has arrived."

Peng Qingqing lifted the curtain of the car window and saw the ancient city wall, which was already close in front of him.

At the gate of the city, the king of Shu sent the crown prince and the ministers of the six departments and nine ministers out of the city to welcome the second prince's triumphant return.

Because repelling the Song army, preserving the national destiny of the Shu Kingdom, and saving the people in the rear from the disaster of war is naturally a major event of hard work and deserves a high standard of courtesy.

Crown Prince Meng Xuanzhe greeted him with all the civil and military officials. Although the limelight was robbed by his second brother, he didn't care at all, and he didn't worry that the second prince would seize the heir.

When the convoy arrived at the gate of the city, horns, gongs and drums sounded, and the welcoming procedure was carried out.

The second prince, Meng Xuanyu, got out of the car, dressed in military uniform and iron armor, looking majestic and majestic.

"It's hard work, Second Highness, on this expedition."

"Brother Huang, you are being polite. You are doing your best for the country, and for our Meng family!"

The crown prince exchanged greetings with the second prince, and then welcomed him into the city.

From the beginning to the end, Su Chen and Peng Qingqing didn't get out of the car, they just stayed quietly in the car.

At this time, the convoy entered the city mightily.

The streets of Shudu today are very lively, not as desolate as it was a month ago.

Because the Song army retreated, it did not destroy the Shu Kingdom, and was blocked by the Shu army on the front line. This is a victory for the Shu Kingdom.Therefore, the people in the capital of Shu feel proud and fortunate, and have a sense of joy for the rest of their lives after the catastrophe.

Gongs and drums were beaten along the way, and the people lined the road to welcome him, which made the second prince's reputation reach an extremely high position.

Luo Qijun and others who went out with the second prince did not come back for the time being, they were all stationed at Jiameng Pass on the front line, only the guards and Su Chen and others came back.

The second prince returned to the palace first, and the convoy transferred to the second prince's Prince Bao's mansion halfway through.

King Bao is the title of Meng Xuanyu. He used to be the king of the county. Now because he repelled the Song army, he saved the kingdom of Shu and was promoted to the level of prince, second only to the status of crown prince.

Su Chen and Peng Qingqing returned to Prince Bao's Mansion. As soon as they entered the backyard, they saw a small pond with sparkling lake lights. There were exquisite pavilions in the pond, and there were green pines and cypresses beside the pond. At this moment, it was already covered with a layer of frost and snow.

Surrounded by pavilions and pavilions, winding corridors and curved bridges, all are hidden among the trees.The attic of the mansion has cornices, bucket arches, flowered walls and leaky windows, and only a corner is faintly exposed from the green shade, which looks very elegant.

Su Chen and the two did not stop to appreciate the snow scenery, but walked into a small independent courtyard, which was placed in this courtyard by Meng Xuanyu before departure.

Instruct the servant girl to boil hot water, take a bath to keep warm, and wash away the fatigue of the journey.

After taking a bath and changing their clothes, Su Chen and Peng Qingqing were in the bedroom, eating candied snacks, drinking fragrant tea, and chatting to pass the time.

Several brazier braziers in the room were set up in the room, and animal charcoal was ignited, and it was immediately warm as spring.

"The New Year's Eve is coming soon, are we going to celebrate New Year's Eve here?"

Su Chen nodded: "That's right, if we start our journey back to Runzhou now, we might still be on the way on New Year's Eve, why not spend New Year's Eve here, and then return to the Tang Dynasty in the first month, go back down the river, maybe we can get home on the Lantern Festival. "

"It's the first time I spend New Year's Eve outside."

Peng Qingqing couldn't help feeling emotional.

"Haha, that's called the female university's failure to stay!" Su Chen teased.

Peng Qingqing blushed, and although she wanted to refute, she thought to herself, this time, she was out to practice with her fiancé, and she was worried about his safety, so she asked to stay by her side, so there was nothing to refute.

"You still said! This time the front line is so dangerous against the Song army. You have charged in person several times. Fortunately, I am here, otherwise, you might have been injured."

Peng Qingqing scolded Su Chen again, blaming him for being too impulsive, instead of staying out of the matter, instead charging and fighting himself, which was too dangerous.

Su Chen explained: "In this way, we successfully completed the mission. If we hadn't been more aggressive at the time, we might not have easily defeated Song Jun. This time, we have helped Xiaomeng, and we have repaid the life-saving grace. Next, let's reap some benefits." , bring some gold and silver rewards, and we can go back to Runzhou."

Peng Qingqing sighed: "I'm finally going back, I'm a little homesick."

"Wherever you have me is your home!" Su Chen affectionately opened his arms and hugged Peng Qingqing's body.

The two of them were leaning against each other, and it was uncomfortable to sit on the table and chairs, so they got on the bed together, covered with silk and satin quilts to keep warm, and their bodies inevitably hugged each other.

"What are you going to do? Why don't you tell me another martial arts story?"

Peng Qingqing huddled in his arms, wanting to hear a story.

I already talked about the trilogy of The Condor Shooting, so I talked about Swordsman.

The afternoon passed quickly, and when the second prince returned to the mansion, it was already dark.

Entering the palace this time, in addition to reporting the results of the battle, he reviewed his thinking on using troops and summed up the advantages and disadvantages of the Shu army and the Song army. Only then did the King of Shu know the reason for defeating the Song army this time.

Regarding Meng Xuanyu's private detention of Wang Zhaoyuan, the King of Shu didn't care about it. It happened for a reason, and it was beneficial to the situation of the war. In the eyes of the King of Shu, taking down Wang Zhaoyuan was nothing. , no longer enabled.

Next, Meng Xuanyu was appointed to negotiate a peace, but he refused.

Meng Xuanyu really didn't want to be that person who lost power and humiliated the country. He had already defeated the Song army on the battlefield, so he didn't want to get involved in the peace negotiation.

Back in the mansion, Meng Xuanyu took off his armor, took a bath and changed clothes, and then sent someone to invite Su Chen and Peng Qingqing to have dinner together.

During the banquet, Meng Xuanyu basically told Su Chen all about entering the palace to talk with the King of Shu, and did not hide anything.

Su Chen smiled and said: "These are all the political affairs of your Shu Kingdom, I don't really care about them, as long as my reward and the convenience of doing business in the future are all enough, that's fine."

Meng Xuanyu listened to his "philistine" words, and then thought of Su Chen, who was guiding the battlefield at the border and repeatedly plotting tricks, his temperament was very different, he was not the same person!
