Chapter 343 Eternal Night City

The Emperor Beichi had already given the letter to Emperor Danxu before, hoping to redeem the Lone Wolf City and Tiger Head City by compensation.

Emperor Danxu was naturally willing. After all, Si Haochen's troops were stationed in the border areas all year round, so he could not take up much of the benefits brought by these two cities, which was indeed not as affordable as gold and silver horses. But his Ninth Emperor brother was a garrison and repairing the city. Can he return it if he said he could return it?

If he issued an order to return the two cities in Beichi, Si Haochen would probably not only not return it, but also complained to his father. Returning the spoils to the enemy will be like a spoiler, and he will lose face by then. Emperor Danxu weighed the pros and cons, but he did not agree to return the two cities.

Now, the envoy of Beichi came to submit the surrender letter and also talked about some things - to give Beichi some food and other supplies. After all, Beichi's food and grass were burned by Donghuan.

Deputy General Chen was so angry that the people of Beichi were too shameless. When the two armies were fighting, they had to pay for the food and grass after being burned. Should the soldiers who killed them still have to pay for their lives?!

Deputy General Chen said with a dark face: "This war was initiated by Beichi, and you will naturally bear the consequences. If you lose the battle, you will come to fight Qiufeng. Are you shameless?"

"Although we provoked the war, it was because you poisoned me, Snow Girl in Beichi!" The envoy of Beichi looked indignant.

"Ha." Si Haochen sneered, "Do you want to go to Lucheng to capture the saint of Guanghan Palace? What is the way to die in Xue Nu?"

The envoy of Beichi was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He was the emperor's confidant and one of the few people who knew that the secret of the Snow Girl has now become the saint of Guanghan Palace. The saint usually lives in Guanghan Palace on the top of the Snow Mountain and hardly goes out. How could Prince Dong Huanyun know that the Saint is the Snow Girl!

Moreover, he also heard from his son who was working in Guanghan Palace that the Great Medicine Master sent the Saint down the mountain to handle some affairs. He didn't know where the Saint went. However, Prince Dong Huanyun knew the whereabouts of the Saint, which was really terrifying to think about it carefully.

Because the envoy of Beichi was afraid, the subsequent negotiations were much more harmonious. Although His Highness Yun rejected the unreasonable demand for "compensation" for food, it is still possible to trade cattle, sheep and horses.

The envoy of Beichi also breathed a sigh of relief. Although the result was not very satisfactory, he had an explanation for His Majesty the Emperor. After all, there was a big mistake in the "Snow Girl's Death", and it would be useless for him to fight for it.

The envoy of Beichi returned to Beichi, and the war was completely concluded. Emperor Danxu praised Si Haochen and the imperial edicts to reward the three armies came one after another. In and out of the words, they all urged Si Haochen to return to the imperial capital to receive the reward soon.

The Minister of Rites also received a secret letter, and Emperor Danxu asked him to urge Prince Yun to return to the court as soon as possible. The Minister of Rites almost cried after receiving the emperor's "order" - he was a third-rank official, how could he urge the Prince of Rites? He was so angry that he would cut him in vain if he had a sword.

Fortunately, Prince Yun was preparing for the return of the army, but his attitude was negative and his efficiency was not high.

The Northwest Army was stationed at the border, and Si Haochen would not lead the army back to the imperial capital. He still brought 20,000 to 30,000 troops as if he was here. The troops left at the border were led by Deputy General Xue to 60,000 troops to garrison the Return City, and Deputy General Chen led 50,000 troops to garrison Huyue City. The remaining troops were managed by Deputy General Zhen, and the troops were stationed in the northwest to train troops, and the military reclamation was not missed.

After the military affairs were arranged, His Highness Prince Yun finally wanted to return to the court. In order to be with the princess, Si Haochen used the wound on his arm that had long been healed - it is not advisable to ride a horse before the knife wound was healed. Moreover, he also had to serve the doctor.

Si Haochen decided to take the princess and go back to the imperial capital. Therefore, every day when the sunrise starts, the camp will be set up at sunset. The large army will naturally be stationed outside the city, but Prince Yun must enter the city and rest in various inns. When passing through the prosperous prefecture, it will be more than one or two days.

Although the Minister of Rites felt that the march was too slow. With the current situation, when he returned to the imperial capital, it was probably about to be the Yuexi Festival. However, he neither dared nor wanted to urge him. The speed was slower, but he was really comfortable. He could eat hot food every meal, stay in the inn every day, and stayed in a three or five days to take a day off. It was even more comfortable than going out for a trip.

On this day, the carriage arrived at Weicheng, which was the last city in the northwest. Walking forward, you will reach the Central Plains.

Si Haochen was arranged to rest in the best courtyard of the inn, and local officials also held a banquet to welcome His Highness Prince Yun. Si Haochen never went to these social events, and the two lieutenants and the Minister of Rites who accompanied him went to the banquet.

Si Haochen planned to take the princess to the night market in the city, and a sea-dongqing fell on the windowsill and pecked at the window lattice.

Si Haochen opened the yarn trunk and asked the "Letter" to come in. He took off the bamboo tube containing the letter and started reading the letter.

Hai Dongqing squatted on the table, making a cooing sound at Mingruo, and rubbed Mingruo's sleeve intimately.

Mingruo poured the well water and put it in front of Haidongqing. It only smelled it and started to peck and drink it one by one.

Si Haochen frowned, thought for a while before speaking: "Ruoer, I have a few subordinates, and my words and deeds are not very correct. I want you to go and see."

"Okay." Although Mingruo is not a professional psychiatrist, the Ming family's best thirteen acupuncture is very effective in the weird and madness disease.

After Si Haochen took Mingruo out of the city, he summoned Lieyan. The two of them rode their horses all the way northeast in the night.

After running for about half an hour, he entered a valley full of black stones. It looked like an ordinary valley, but Mingruo found that the ground in the valley was particularly flat, as if it had been specially repaired.

When passing through a small forest, Si Haochen asked Mingruo to put the flames into the space. The two walked out of the forest, and there was a dark stone mountain in front of them.

Si Haochen led Mingruo to a mountain wall, took out an oval gold medal from his sleeve, and inserted it into a crack in a rock. After that, the sound of stone slabs rubbing against the ground, and the mountain wall in front of him was actually separated from both sides, forming a stone door that could accommodate a large carriage.

Si Haochen led Mingruo into the stone gate. It was not black inside. A row of glass lamps emitted warm lights and extended along the not-so-long corridor.

Before coming in, Mingruo thought it was a very simple cave, but he didn't expect there was a different world inside. The floor under his feet was shining marble. In addition to the row of palace lanterns, there were also many night pearls inlaid on the walls, which were not small: "Where is this...?"

"Look at it." Si Haochen held Ming Ruo's shoulder and turned around.

The door they just came in was closed, and the door was made of a slightly small night pearl, which was spelled into three words - Yongye City.
