Hanba knew that begging for mercy was useless now. He was doomed to die. He laughed crazily and said, "You are all a bunch of cowards, cowards without any vision or knowledge!"
Seeing that people from their own country were about to fight, they quickly pulled them apart.
Then all those who were guilty of serious crimes were dragged out and it was decided that they would be executed at noon tomorrow.
Li Jingchen said to the rest of the people, "I'll give you one chance. That is to follow us back to the capital. We will provide you with a place to live and arrange for you to work. You need to earn money to eat. So those who are willing to follow me back to the capital, stand on the left, and those who are not willing, stand on the right."
Everyone looked around, and Khanba's wife stood on the left with their eight-year-old son. No matter what, staying alive was the most important thing. One person stood up, then the second, then three or four, and more and more people came to the left. No matter what, at least they were alive.
But there was still a small group who resolutely chose the right side.
Choose the people on the right and execute them together tomorrow.
After these matters were resolved, Li Jingchen immediately wrote a letter and sent it to the emperor by carrier pigeon.
Jiang Tuantuan stepped forward and asked, "Do you know what day it is today?"
"What day is it today?" Li Jingchen looked confused.
"Today is the 30th, the Spring Festival is here."
It turns out it’s the Spring Festival. I didn’t expect that so much time has passed. Yubao must miss them very much after being away from home for so long. Maybe he has forgotten what his father and mother look like.
In the prince's mansion in the capital, everything looked much more desolate because four people were missing. Feng Xiaoli took the initiative to decorate the yard and even cooked a large table of delicious dishes herself.
But there were always four people missing at the dinner table, and no matter how it was arranged, it was so desolate.
Yubao rarely smiled recently, and there was almost no expression on his face. At least at the beginning, he knew how to cry and felt wronged. But now he is like this, which really makes Feng Xiaoli and Jiang Dafeng heartbroken.
The New Year's Eve dinner tasted bland.
In order to celebrate the victory and to have a good New Year even though they were in different places, Li Jingchen announced that everyone would reunite together.
The cook went to the city to buy vegetables, meat and grain, but all the shops selling grain were closed, thinking that they were coming to rob them.
But the cook did not get angry. Instead, he knocked on the door patiently and shouted, "Boss, I want to buy a lot of meat. Please open the door and we will pay for it."
When the shopkeeper inside heard this, he came out half-believing and half-doubting and opened the closed door.
The cook took out a large silver coin from his pocket and gave it to the shopkeeper, saying, "Give us this much meat. If there is any more, I will take it all. I have enough money."
After getting the silver in his hand, the shopkeeper felt relieved and immediately smiled and weighed the meat for them.
The shop owner next door saw this and immediately opened the door and said to the cook, "I have a whole lamb here. Do you want one?"
"Yes, of course. We'll take as many as we can. We have a lot of people."
Every household opened their doors. They really didn't expect that the soldiers of this neighboring country were better than their own king.
Because of the war, the king increased taxes and they were becoming extremely poor. They only had some meat left at home to eat, but how could they eat only meat every day? They also had to eat grain. However, Changman Country was not suitable for consuming grain, and the grain was bought from other countries by merchants. They had no money to buy it even if they wanted to.
Now that they saw these people were willing to take out money, everyone was very happy.
Originally, people were worried that changing the king would make life even harder, but now it seems that life would be even better. No one is worried about it anymore. It doesn’t matter to them who becomes the king, as long as they can live a comfortable life.
The cook's shopping became smoother and smoother, but he also discovered that there was really little food and vegetables here. Fortunately, his army had transported a lot of food, otherwise he would have starved to death.
In the evening, the chefs prepared a large New Year's Eve dinner and brought it to the table. All the generals and Jiang Tuantuan and his group gathered around the table to eat.
Seeing that the table was mostly filled with meat, Jiang Tuantuan said, "There aren't many vegetables here."
"Yes, Princess. They have very few vegetables here. The few vegetarian dishes we have are all made with the food we transported here. And the food is very limited. There is only a lot of beef and mutton."
Jiang Tuantuan nodded. To celebrate this moment, everyone drank a glass of wine and started eating. The meat here is indeed better than that in Beijing and more tender.
Rouer thought it was very good after eating it, so it must be really good.
At this time in the prison, Khanba was still shouting, "You bastards, even if I go to hell, I will curse you to die a miserable death!"
It was already annoying enough to be guarding the prison here during the Spring Festival, and now he was cursing them. The annoyed soldiers simply opened the cell door, went in and beat him up, and now it was finally quiet!
Those who chose to follow the troops back to the capital are now gathering together, worried about the future and not knowing where the road ahead lies.
The woman watched everything inside the city from outside and knew that her wish had been fulfilled. The king of Changman was dead, and she had finally avenged her daughter.
The woman came to the river and jumped into the icy water.
She could finally go see her daughter. They hadn't seen each other for a long time. She didn't know if her daughter's appearance had changed a lot, and she didn't know if she could still recognize her current tattered mother. But it didn't matter, they could meet.
On the morning of the next day, the emperor, who was far away in the capital, received the carrier pigeon. He opened the letter tied to his foot, read it carefully over and over again, and turned around in circles in the palace excitedly, not even bothering to put on his clothes.
He immediately ordered all court officials to come to court.
The eunuch wanted to urge him on but didn't dare to spoil the emperor's mood, so he had to follow the emperor with the clothes in his hand, hoping to put the clothes on his arms when the emperor wasn't paying attention.
Like an eagle catching chicks.
In the end, the eunuch couldn't put on a single sleeve, so he had no choice but to urge: "Your Majesty, if you don't change your clothes, you will be late for court."
"Okay, put on my clothes quickly."
The emperor was in a very good mood. When he arrived at the hall, all the court officials were already there.
After the ceremony, the emperor announced the good news, "Our army has won a great victory and has occupied the Changman Kingdom."
All the court officials offered their congratulations.
"From now on, Changman Kingdom will no longer be a country, but a state within our country, named Chenzhou. This state needs someone to govern it. Who among you is willing to go?"
