Chapter 548 Normal Dijiang

"I was thinking that the two sides would have to fight for a whole day and night before the winner could be determined."

"I didn't expect the Dongcang people to get so excited when they got on board that they couldn't even stand steadily, just like children playing. And their boat has a very light bottom, and with so many people on board, it would be strange if it didn't capsize."

Jiujiu was really shocked and wanted to laugh.

"What a bunch of self-righteous idiots." Di Jiang said, "Naval warfare is much more difficult than land warfare. I was worried that they would not agree to a naval battle, but I didn't expect they agreed. I thought they had a big trick, but what happened..." He was so depressed.

It's just unbearable to watch.

Yang Bo also prepared a lot of tactics, but they were useless. People were killed one after another.

Yang Bo was really surprised and regretful about this advantage, as his ability to command troops was not fully utilized.

However, he still took advantage of the victory and ordered his men to immediately launch flaming arrows to burn all the ships of Dongcang, thus taking over Dongcang in one fell swoop and not giving Dongcang any chance to breathe.

Then he ordered the Western Chu soldiers who were not good at naval warfare and had been guarding on the shore to kill all the Dongcang soldiers who had returned to the shore and tried to escape, leaving no one alive.

Even though Dongcang had a large number of people, with the cooperation of Nanguo and Xichu, most of their men were killed. Dead bodies were floating everywhere on the surface of Jiulong River, and all the boats were burned, a sea of ​​fire.

The flames reflected on the emerald green surface of the river, beautiful yet mournful.

Upon seeing this situation, the remaining Dongcang soldiers stationed in Jiulong Mountain who had not yet entered the water also surrendered.

Dongcang’s situation is hopeless.

Now, as long as we capture the new king Fu Rong, Dongcang will be destroyed.

Jiujiu and Dijiang went to catch this man. When they joined forces, Fu Rong was no match at all and could not escape.

Soon, Fu Rong was arrested.

Dongcang declared defeat.

Yang Bo led his men to clean up the battlefield.

Dijiang and Jiujiu brought their men to hand over all the cities of Dongcang and dealt with those who surrendered from Dongcang.

These matters are not trivial. Dongcang is not small, and it has dozens of cities. Just the handover matters are complicated, and people are arguing everywhere. In some places, there are language barriers, and communication is extremely difficult.

Jiujiu and Dijiang dealt with the situation for several months, from autumn to the following summer, almost a year, before they finished the task and led their troops to withdraw.

Dongcang belongs to Xichu and the Southern Kingdom.

The battle to capture Dongcang lasted for more than a year.

On the way back, Xi Chu prepared a state banquet.

First, to reward and celebrate achievements.

Secondly, it announced the marriage between Princess Yongle of Western Chu, Feng Yanyue, and Emperor Dijiang of the Southern Kingdom.

Two great events, the whole country celebrates.

There was singing and dancing in the De Lin Hall, it was very lively, and there was an endless stream of ministers coming to congratulate. Jiujiu and Dijiang both drank a lot.

Jiujiu was already drunk, but she had been trying to stay awake. She was watching the celebration scene and looking at Dijiang who was sitting beside her with a concerned look on his face.

This day is so beautiful and happy.

But it would be nice if big brother was here.

There is still no news from my elder brother.

When the army retreated, Jiujiu and Dijiang personally went to various places in Youlan City to look for the person, but they couldn't find him.

Jiujiu looked at her elder brother's seat at previous banquets with regret.

Sitting there now are Jin'er and Princess Xuan. Jin'er no longer has the playful and stubborn look she had before, who only quarreled with her father. She looks much more stable, as she has grown up and has more worries.

He was drinking alone, and so was Princess Xuan.

The mother and son are out of place in today's festive atmosphere.

Although Jiujiu was drunk, she still stood up, and with the help of Nanny Gui, she slowly came to the two of them and advised: "Sister-in-law, Jin'er, if big brother was here today, he would definitely hope that you would be happy and not always look sad."

"If my elder brother sees this, he will be heartbroken."

Princess Xuan naturally understood this truth, but she really couldn't laugh. At this moment, she forced a smile and said, "Jiujiu, sister-in-law understands what you mean, and knows that you have been helping to find Tianmo. Sister-in-law thanks you on behalf of Tianmo."

Feng Wenjin said: "Aunt, Jin'er not only wants to thank you, but also congratulate you for finally getting married with His Majesty the Southern Kingdom."

"Aunt, I'll toast you."

"Okay." Jiujiu drank another glass.

Princess Xuan pinched Jiujiu's little face and said, "Jiujiu, today is your good day. Don't think about being unhappy, dear."

"Um."

Jiujiu nodded and returned to his seat.

I heard that my eldest sister-in-law gave birth to another daughter. It’s a pity that she was not brought to the palace.

"Brother Dijiang, it's so boring, let's go out and get some fresh air?" Jiujiu said.

"good."

Dijiang took Jiujiu out of Delin Hall and strolled around the palace. Maybe it was a coincidence, but they ended up visiting the former Zhiguan. Even after so many years, the Zhiguan was still the same as before, and nothing had changed.

Dijiang led Jiujiu into the Zhiguan and came to the bed he had placed there. He uncovered the bedcovers, opened a mechanism on the bed, took out a brocade box from it and showed it to Jiujiu.

He had hidden this many years ago and had never taken it away, thinking he would take it away after marrying Jiujiu.

When Jiujiu saw this, she suddenly became much more sober. She took another hangover pill and was completely sober in a moment.

She looked at the old brocade box in Dijiang's hand and asked, "Brother Dijiang, what is this?"

"Can you open it and take a look?"

Jiujiu opened the brocade box and began to look at it.

There were many yellowed notes in the brocade box.

Jiujiu picked up one at random and started looking at it.

"Today is my first day as a hostage in Xichu. Life is very difficult. I want to kill everyone."

Jiujiu frowned and picked up another one.

"I was punished to kneel, and my knees felt like they were broken. It was so painful and uncomfortable. I really wanted to chop off the legs of everyone in Xichu. But, a little princess saved me! She is very pretty, and I believe everyone would dislike her. I liked her the first time I saw her, and I wanted to pinch her face."

Jiujiu smiled when he saw this one, then took a few more and started looking at them.

"Today the room is drafty everywhere. It's so cold. The quilt is so thin. There's no good charcoal fire. It's just like the days in the South. Fortunately, I'm used to it and can stand the cold. But the little princess brought me a quilt."

"The little princess brought me some delicious food again today."

"The little princess smiled at me today."

"The little princess said she would take me to study today."

"Today the little princess ate the date paste cake I made."

…

Jiujiu flipped through many more pieces of paper, which recorded Dijiang's various excited feelings because of her.

All the hatred, resentment and anger that Dijiang felt towards Xi Chu in his heart also quietly changed because of her.

Every note contains the little boy’s thoughts.

From being full of resentment to being full of gratitude, and then to the gradual development of feelings for her, each note was evidence.

Di Jiang looked at Jiu Jiu and said, "Jiu Jiu, without you, there would be no Di Jiang who looks normal today."
