Chapter 368 Chain Enterprise
Chen Changan spent a day and a night in a coma.
Sometimes he dreamed that Luo Zhuyu was blown to pieces, and sometimes he dreamed that Luo Zhuyu married him. Chen Changan's forehead was covered with cold sweat.
After he woke up with fright, he didn't even have time to eat and was busy directing the disaster relief work.
It’s called disaster relief, but Luo Zhuyu is the only one trapped in the mountain. Now both peaks have collapsed, so where can this person be found?
After a delay of seven or eight days, Lao Ma came to report to Chen Changan.
"Master, we have been searching day and night and found thirty bodies at the foot of the mountain. Judging from their attire, they are all from Sakurajima."
No news about Luo Zhuyu is good news. Old Ma shook his head and said, "Luo Zhuyu is the Saintess of the Red Flower Society. She was able to fight back when facing the artillery fire. How come she doesn't know how to seek benefits and avoid harm now?"
"I guess she didn't know how to see you, so she left here."
Chen Changan stared at Lao Ma blankly. Is this really the case?
Seeing Chen Changan's chapped lips, Yan Qing said distressedly, "Changan, we can't stay here."
"The Emperor has announced to the world that Marquis Xibo has passed away in the palace, and asked you to return to the capital immediately to complete your wedding with ***. Let's go."
"As long as Luo Zhuyu is not dead, I will see him again in the future."
Yan Qing now truly admires Chen Changan.
If Chen Changan had not ordered the three armies not to advance, and they had really reached here and been blown up by the mountain, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Faced with the persuasion of the two, Chen Changan could only nod.
He had a lucky thought that with Luo Zhuyu's reaching out, she might be able to escape. How could he determine that she was dead without even seeing the body?
Chen Changan took a deep breath and ordered the three armies to cross the ruins and march towards Baidi City.
Without the Sakurajima people causing trouble and the rain stopping, the march was naturally quite fast, and in less than three days, they had reached Baidi City.
Outside the Ten-Li Pavilion, Xiao Zhennan had been waiting there for a long time.
Seeing Chen Changan's car coming, Xiao Zhennan hurried out to greet him: "Top Scholar, you have eliminated a scourge for the country and recovered the tax silver, which is really a great achievement!"
Xiao Zhennan saw Chen Changan coming out of the car. He looked weak and seemed unable to stand steadily.
His expression immediately changed: "Is the top scholar injured?"
Chen Changan just shook his head. Yan Qing sighed and said, "Although the body is injured, it is not serious. The key is the heart injury?"
"Heart-broken?" Xiao Zhennan didn't understand and looked confused.
"Old Xiao, I will return the military power to you." Chen Changan handed over the military power.
"Miss Yan has been with me all the way. She knows everything I have done. Let her report back to the emperor on my behalf. If the emperor has any rewards, they will all go to the soldiers of the three armies."
"I'm very tired and need to go back and rest, Lao Ma."
Of course Xiao Zhennan was unwilling to let Chen Changan leave, but seeing how distraught he looked, he didn't dare to ask him to stay.
Watching Chen Changan driving away, Xiao Zhennan shook his head: "Niece Yan, what happened along the way? Why did Changan become like this?"
Yan Qing shook his head slightly. Although he had already reported it, only the emperor knew about this matter.
As a third party, Yan Qing told Xiao Zhennan everything that happened after Chen Changan arrived in Qingzhou, including how he spent money to have people search underwater, how he caught the traitor, how he found the silver, how he ordered the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to go back first, what happened on the way back, and why Chen Changan became like this.
Hearing this, Lord Xiao nodded repeatedly and praised continuously.
"Sure enough, Changan is really amazing!"
"I heard in prison that Chang'an was rebelling, but I didn't believe it and argued with the jailer for a long time."
"Now that the results are out, it's exactly what I expected."
Lord Xiao was naturally very happy and followed Yan Qing into the palace to meet the emperor.
Chen Changan returned to the No. 1 Scholar's Mansion, where Sun Jingyi, who had already received the news, was waiting.
Her legs are long and straight, like two exquisite jade pillars.
Her skin is as white as snow, faintly visible under the hem of her skirt. Her waist is as slender as a willow swaying in the wind, and can be held in one hand, showing her flexible beauty.
The ribbon around the waist is gently wrapped, exuding an invisible charm that makes people fall in love with it.
"Brother, you worked hard."
When Sun Jingyi saw Chen Changan's appearance, she felt a little distressed.
She helped him out of the carriage and personally prepared four side dishes. After eating, Chen Changan finally regained his energy.
"No matter how good it is, it's not as good as your own home."
Chen Changan patted his belly and chuckled, "Fourth sister, I feel very tired. I even regret leaving Jiangdu. I... miss home."
If we hadn't left Jiangdu, so many things wouldn't have happened.
He really missed the days of sharing joys and sorrows with Sun Jingyi and others.
Sun Jingyi just gritted her teeth and said, "I don't miss Jiangdu. Wherever I am, it's home."
"Besides, now that the emperor has offended Sakurajima, the relationship between the two countries has become tense instantly. The navy of the King of Huainan has been asked to go north to resist the sudden attack launched by Sakurajima."
“Although I don’t understand state affairs, every citizen has a share of responsibility for the success or failure of a country.”
Chen Changan's lips moved, and he suddenly thought of something: "It's been a month, has the money from the Chu family's jade business arrived yet?"
"Also, the King of Huainan was not assassinated, he is not dead yet?"
Sun Jingyi nodded: "Yesterday, Lin Yayun sent Guan Bo to find me and gave me hundreds of thousands of taels of silver notes, which have been deposited in the Zhuangyuan Bank. Lin Yayun is quite trustworthy when it comes to silver."
"I heard that the King of Huainan recovered from his injuries for more than half a month and finally escaped from the gates of hell."
"But the King of Huainan did not have any military power when he went on this expedition. The butcher Chu Xinghe was in charge of the Zhennan Army, but Chu Xinghe was still in Baidi, so he only sent Chen Fusheng as the commander-in-chief of the three armies."
Chen Changan remained silent, lowered his head and said nothing.
The last time I went to see Prince Huainan, he expressed this idea. He handed over the military power of the Zhennan Army in order to protect himself.
However, does this have anything to do with Chen Changan?
"Ninth brother, can I come in?"
Chen Hongluo's voice came from outside the door, and Chen Changan frowned immediately.
Sun Jingyi hurried to the door, bowed to Chen Hongluo, and said, "Big sister."
Chen Changan gritted his teeth. When did Sun Jingyi and Chen Hongluo become so familiar with each other?
Sun Jingyi quickly said, "Brother, during the time you were away, my elder sister taught me a lot of things. Even Lin Yayun went to my elder sister first, and my elder sister told me."
"Brother, I shouldn't say this, but my elder sister has really changed."
Chen Changan just sneered: "Fourth sister, can a dog change its habit of eating shit?"
Sun Jingyi shook her head, but Chen Hongluo smiled bitterly and said, "Ninth brother, I am a dog and I can't stop eating shit. Are you satisfied?"
"I came here today because of He Xiangu, Jiang Yueqing, and Park Baoying. Park Baoying said that this is Goguryeo's healing medicine and asked me to bring it to you."
"She and He Xiangu are going up the mountain today, and will come to see you later."
Chen Changan frowned then, and when he thought of Park Baoying whose eyes could smile, he just shook his head slightly.
When did this woman get involved with Jiang Yueqing?
Purpose, what is the purpose?
"Do you think Park Bo Young is weird?" Chen Hongluo bit her teeth.
"Because He Xiangu was a miraculous doctor of the Chu State, and Park Bo-young happened to be a female doctor, the two of them had many complementary views and enjoyed talking with each other."
"Park Bo-young even suggested that the two of them open a clinic together, now operating it in Chu State, and then open it in Goguryeo and make it a chain... Ninth brother, what do you think?"
