Meng Ruliu smiled and said, "None of us expected that our sworn sister would come up with the idea of sealing the breach with an ice wall. Fortunately, our sworn sister bought us time, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to hold out until the Western Rong cavalry arrived. Our sworn sister deserves the most credit for our safe escape."
Su Wan said, "I only offered an idea; the actual defense of the city was done by everyone."
At this point, Su Wan asked with some worry, "Sister Yi, Sister Chu, do you think Wei Shao and the others will chase after us?"
Meng Ruliu said, "That's what I'm worried about too. With His Highness still alive, will Wei Shao join forces with the Southern Chu army to attack us?"
Upon hearing this, Su Wan's previously relieved heart tightened again, and she asked, "How many soldiers do we still have?"
"Less than two thousand people," Meng Ruliu said. "Everyone is injured and needs to rest. But this number of people can't do much."
Chu Mingyao said, "Sister, don't worry. We are already within the territory of the Western Rong. If Wei Shao's army dares to cross the border, it will be considered an attack on the Western Rong. On the northern grasslands, our Western Rong cavalry are not afraid of anyone."
Su Wan thought about it and agreed. The commander of the Southern Chu army was Chu Yi, and Chu Yi wasn't the kind of man without principles. Since his sister was here, he probably wouldn't allow the Southern Chu army to attack.
The procession traveled until the afternoon and finally arrived at her fiefdom.
Su Wan was anxious and jumped off the carriage as soon as she opened the door, almost falling over. Fortunately, Meng Ruliu followed and helped her up, saying, "Sister, don't be in such a hurry, look how you're swaying."
Su Wan smiled and said, "I'll be fine after a few days of rest."
Su Yuze and Zhao Xiyue had already jumped down from the carriage behind them.
Looking at the potato fields stretching to the horizon and the rows of white tents, Su Yuze exclaimed, "Is this my sister's fiefdom? I didn't know she planted so many potatoes!"
Zhao Xiyue pointed into the distance and said, "Look over there, there are so many cattle and sheep... My God, I've never seen so many."
Once they were out of danger, the two of them became happy.
Su Wan approached the two of them and said with a smile, "Welcome to my fiefdom. Enjoy yourselves."
She spun around twice in place, then suddenly exclaimed "Oh dear!" and froze in place.
Seeing that her face was pale, Su Yuze and Zhao Xiyue quickly surrounded her and asked, "What's wrong?"
"My jade pendant is gone." Su Wan searched her entire body, then mentally searched the apartment again. She ran back to the carriage in a panic and asked Meng Ruliu, "Sister-in-law, have you seen my jade pendant?"
Seeing her flustered state, Meng Ruliu said, "What jade pendant? I didn't see it."
Su Wan recalled that last night, she had taken out the jade pendant intending to show it to Chu Yi. The situation was so tense that she hadn't put it back in the apartment until she lost consciousness.
Oh no, the jade pendant is probably stuck on the city wall of Xiping Pass.
