Chapter 325 Two Years Later

Time flies, and two years have passed in the blink of an eye...

Half a year ago, a great victory was won on the front line. The remaining external troops, led by the Great Khan of the Uya tribe, were captured. The remaining external troops were defeated and announced their unconditional surrender.

From then on, all the tribes on the border of Jin State were incorporated into the territory of Jin State and became the territory of Jin State.

The commander-in-chief was Duke Jiang. After he pacified the border issues, he recommended new kings to each tribe in accordance with the emperor's will. From then on, the Khan was no longer respected. They were all kings appointed by the current emperor, and they only managed these tribes for the Jin State.

These newly elected kings were all external royal families who were easy to control and belonged to the side branches. They were the side branches that the original Khans looked down upon the most before their defeat. Now they were all the liberated peasants singing and voluntarily swearing allegiance to Emperor Dajin.

After the incident, Duke Jiang left a part of the army to guard the border, and he led the remaining troops to escort the prisoners back to the capital. Among those who returned to the capital were Jiang Yu and Su Chen.

The immediate relatives of these captives, whether they were originally princesses, princes or princesses, whether they were born out of wedlock or in law, as long as they were of the bloodline of the main captive, were all escorted back to the capital.

Now Su Chen has been promoted to deputy general of the main camp. Jiang Yu is the vanguard, and his rank is lower than Su Chen because he has not made as many achievements as Su Chen. Both of them are wearing silver armor and look majestic.

Su Chen was the biggest contributor to the victory at this time. He was captured by the Uya tribe while covering the retreat of the commander-in-chief. After being brought back, he suffered a lot and almost lost his life.

It was an outsider girl named Mimi who found him and was ready to let him go, but Su Chen did not choose to leave the enemy camp. Instead, he took advantage of the situation and asked Mimi to deliver the letter, while he persisted and fought for his life.

Jiang Yu and the seventh prince Murong Huai came up with a plan. They were planning to sneak into the enemy camp to rescue Su Chen. But before they could enter, a girl named Mimi came to deliver a letter at the risk of her life, informing Jiang Yu of Su Chen's plan.

Jiang Yu didn't believe it at first, until Mimi took out the amulet that Su Chen always carried with him. This was the amulet that Su's mother had asked for in the temple before he joined the army.

When Jiang Yu saw the amulet, he decided to take a gamble and work together with Murong Huai to cooperate with Su Chen from the enemy camp.

Mimi secretly fed Su Chen a lot of life-saving medicine, saving his life. This gave Su Chen the strength to sneak into the commander-in-chief's camp and capture Uya Khan alive.

At the same time, Murong Huai led his men to attack from several places, attack from the side, burn food and supplies, and cut off the enemy's retreat. Duke Jiang led the army to confront the enemy head-on and attack Huanglong.

Su Chen was credited with capturing the king. It was because of his life-threatening fight that this bitter battle that had lasted for more than three years was won with a complete victory, ending the war six months earlier and greatly reducing losses.

Su Chen was captured in the enemy camp and suffered serious internal and external injuries. After capturing Uya Khan, if Jiang Yu had not arrived in time, Su Chen would have been dead.

He had been lying in bed for more than two months. Now that he had returned to the capital, Su Chen was the most watched person. After he returned, he would definitely be given the rank of general, no lower than the fourth rank.

In the team returning to Beijing, the captives were all locked in cages like pigs and dogs, but there was a girl locked in one of the carriages.

She had clean clothes, clean food and water. This girl was Mimi.

She is the daughter of Uya Khan, but she was born to a dancer, of low blood, and her mother was humiliated to death. She has been in the Uya tribe since she was a child. Although she has the status of a princess, she is always bullied. The Khan treated her badly. He witnessed the death of her mother but remained indifferent. He even said that she was unclean, and then allowed her to be bullied by other princes and princesses.

Because of her beauty, the princess was jealous of her, so she tricked her out of the country and sold her to Jin State. This led to the scene where Su Wan and Su Chen rescued her in the slave market in Xiangzhou.

Good and evil in the world, there must be a cause and an effect. Su Chen planted the cause, so he reaped the effect.

Mimi had always heard of Su Chen's name in the rear. After Su Chen was captured, she was extremely disappointed with her father and family, so she chose to help Su Chen.

It is precisely because of this that she, now a captive, can receive such preferential treatment.

While the army was resting in place, Murong Huai got two wild pheasants from somewhere and asked Jiang Yu and Su Chen to roast them for food.

Murong Huai is indeed a brave and resourceful guy. I was really fooled by him before and didn't realize that he has such great talent.

When his deeds in the military camp were reported back to Kyoto, the emperor was very pleased and directly promoted his mother to the rank of noble concubine.

He had a set of Sun Tzu's Art of War, and he could deploy troops and predict things with great accuracy. His fame far surpassed that of the fifth prince Murong Sheng.

Over the past two years, Murong Huai had become good brothers with Jiang Yu and Su Chen through his sincerity. They lived and ate together, completely eliminating Murong Sheng's thoughts of winning them over.

After the pheasant was roasted, Su Chen simply took off two chicken legs and left.

Murong Huai and Jiang Yu both knew what he was going to do. This kind of thing was so common along the way that they didn't take it seriously and just ate their own food.

Su Chen came to the carriage guarding Mimi with a chicken leg. The carriage door was locked. Su Chen signaled the soldiers to open the lock. When the soldiers saw that it was Lieutenant General Su, they opened the lock.

When the door was opened, a frail girl was huddled in the corner. When she saw Su Chen, her eyes lit up. She was kneeling in the carriage with chains on her feet.

"General Su!" Mimi shouted.

Su Chen hummed lightly and handed her the two chicken legs in the bowl:

“Eat!”

Su Chen's expression was also indifferent. In the past few years in the military camp, he had matured a lot, his edges had been smoothed out, and his whole body exuded a strong masculine aura.

The soldiers outside were all cruel and brutal, and he had no good feelings towards outsiders, but Mimi was different. She helped him and saved him, and was his benefactor.

He has already pleaded with the commander-in-chief to try his best to give Mimi a good place to live after returning to Beijing so that she can live well.

Mimi took the chicken leg and looked at Su Chen gratefully:

"Thank you, General Su."

"No need to thank me, I'm leaving." Su Chen left after delivering the things, and refused to stay any longer. Mimi wanted to say something, but she held back. She stared blankly at Su Chen's departing back. The carriage door was closed again and locked.

When he returned to Jiang Yu, he thoughtfully left half a pheasant for him, and he started to eat it by himself.

Murong Huai joked:

"Brother Chen, are you attracted to Mimi? She's the daughter of Uya Khan. If you two get together, your backbone will be exposed and it will also affect your career!"

Although Murong Huai was joking, he was speaking the truth.

Su Chen glanced at him and replied naturally:

"Of course I know. Don't worry, I don't like her. It's just that she treated me the same way when I was a prisoner. Now I'm just repaying her."

Although Mimi was treated well among the prisoners, the food she ate was not good.

"Okay, I feel relieved when you say that. We will arrive in Kyoto in a few days. Are you all ready to meet the people you want to meet?" Murong Huai raised his eyebrows at Jiang Yu.
