Wu Jian put the box next to the bed, and Long Chen asked: "What good thing?"
Wu Jian opened the box, took out a bunch of letters from it, unfolded them one by one, and presented them to Long Chen for review.
"These are all letters between the ministers of the DPRK and China and Jing Tianlie. We can look at the letters one by one."
Long Chen read the letters carefully and found that in addition to the ministers who were previously known to be attached to Jing Tianlie, there were also many wealthy businessmen and aristocratic families in the capital.
These people not only expressed their loyalty to Jingtian Lie, but many of them also gave him food and salary.
"When we go back, we can dig out all these people, and the court can increase its income."
Long Chen signaled Wu Jian to put the box away.
"How is Tingting?"
Long Chen asked Zhang Qian.
Zhang Qian said: "I haven't gone to see it yet, the Jade Buddha Pass is still being processed."
After fighting all night at Jade Buddha Pass, the battlefield is still being cleaned. Fires everywhere need to be put out, injured soldiers need to be treated, and the surrendered Red Flame Army needs to be dealt with. There are too many things to do.
Long Chen said: "How many casualties were there last night?"
Wu Jian said: "The Red Flame Army's resistance was too tenacious. Our Long Family Army lost more than 30,000 people in battle."
Long Chen asked again: "How many were killed? How many were captured?"
Wu Jian replied: "We killed more than 90,000 people and captured more than 20,000 people."
Including the casualties of the heavy armored soldiers, the Red Flame Army lost almost 140,000 people and captured 20,000 prisoners. The remaining 40,000 people followed Jing Tianlie and fled to Xixia.
Long Chen still felt it was a pity: "The person who could have killed Jing Tianlie last night was that old bald donkey Kong Ji."
"Old Wu, you write a battle report for me. I asked you to write it."
Wu Jian immediately brought a pen and ink, and Long Chen described the battle in detail. Wu Jian recorded it one by one, sealed it with clay, and immediately sent it to Linjiang City.
"Go and do your work. I'm fine. My injury won't heal in a day or two."
Long Chen got out of bed and walked outside by himself.
Dugu Jiali, Wu Chuchu, and Wu Xiangyun are leading the army to take over Jade Buddha Pass. The bodies are being pulled out and buried, and the burned houses in the city are being cleaned up and rebuilt.
The most severely damaged was the east gate, which Wu Jian fried open with fire. The north and south gates were also damaged.
Ximen is the most complete and strongest, so just take over directly.
After watching the city for a week, Long Chen stood on the west gate and looked at the Buddha's head that he had beaten to pieces.
Yang Jingshi is really powerful. After taking only such a small piece, the strength can increase instantly.
But the side effects are also very obvious. People will enter an almost crazy state, and they just want to kill and fight, not caring about their own life or death.
"Sir, your hands..."
Dugu Jiali rode a horse and stopped beside her. She got off the horse and looked at Long Chen's gauze-wrapped hand with distress.
"It's okay, it'll be fine in a few days."
Long Chen smiled.
Dugu Jiali said distressedly: "It's our fault that we are not cultivated enough and can't help."
Long Chen hugged Dugu Jiali and comforted him: "Aren't you at war? How could you not help?"
Dugu Jiali hugged Long Chen, but did not dare to use too much force for fear of hurting Long Chen.
Both hands are injured, and I can’t eat tofu even if I hug them, which is very uncomfortable...
However, Dugu Jiali's body fragrance is really healing.
Long Chen buried his head in Dugu Jiali's collar and couldn't help but kiss her a few times.
"Sir... you are... indeed fine."
If he can still play with colors, then Long Chen is indeed fine, Dugu Jiali slowly let go of her hand and said awkwardly.
Long Chen said seriously: "Jing Tianlie has been operating in Jade Buddha Pass for decades. There must be many secret passages and secret rooms in the city. We must search carefully and block those who are blocked. Don't leave any opportunities to take advantage of."
Back then, the Long family planted fire oil in Linjiang City, which was enough to destroy the entire city. There was no guarantee that Jing Tianlie would not do this.
"The last general takes orders."
Dugu Jiali got on her horse and walked away.
"Just leave..."
Long Chen still wanted to smell her body fragrance again, but Dugu Jiali ran too fast.
"Why don't you go find Wu Chuchu and smell her body fragrance..."
Long Chen had a dirty idea in his mind. Dugu Jiali's whole body had fragrance, but Wu Chuchu only had fragrance in one place, or rather the smell of perfume.
After seeing the city, Long Chen took a carriage to Xifeng Town to look after Bai Tingting, leaving Jade Buddha Pass to Wu Jian to take over.
....
Western Xia.
Snow-capped mountains lie across the northwest, and everything is dim and yellow as far as the eye can see. The bare trees stand in the cold wind, making a whining sound.
A city fell on this desolate land. The low and thick houses were a bit messy. On the central axis was a majestic palace and next to it was a golden temple.
This place is Xingqing City, the capital of Xixia, and the golden temple next to it is Zhaoti Temple, the national temple of Xixia.
In addition to the palace and Zhaoti Temple, there is a particularly eye-catching building in the northwest corner of Xingqing City, with carved beams and painted pillars.
A monk wearing red cassocks, leading a group of monks, escorted two carriages and slowly drove into Xingqing City, followed by some soldiers wearing red flame armor.
When people on both sides of the road saw the red monk, they stopped to worship him.
When the convoy arrived at the gate of the palace, a general wearing red flame armor ran over quickly and bowed to the monk: "National Master, where is my general?"
This person is Jiang Lin.
Jingtian Lie sent him to the Xixia Royal Court for help, and then stayed in Xingqing City.
This monk in red is none other than King Kongji.
Kong Ji is in his fifties, tall and tall, and doesn't look old in any way.
A silkworm eyebrow, auspicious phoenix eyes, golden skin, square face without beard, and twelve ring scars on the top of his head.
The more ring scars a monk has on his head, the deeper his cultivation is and the higher his status. Twelve ring scars are the highest level.
Monk Kongji looked back at the carriage and said, "In the carriage."
Jiang Lin ran to the carriage and bowed: "General!"
The curtain opened and Chen Yuxin got out of the carriage. Jiang Lin was surprised and asked, "Where is the general?"
Chen Yuxin did not answer, but turned around and helped Jing Tianlie out.
Sedum Lie had a bruised nose and swollen face, his hands were wrapped in gauze, and he smelled of a strong medicinal smell. He looked miserable.
Jiang Lin was stunned. He didn't expect that Jing Tianlie would be beaten so badly by Long Chen.
"General..."
Jiang Lin didn't know what to say.
When Jing Tianlie saw Jiang Lin, he looked embarrassed and said, "I'm fine."
The carriage behind also stopped, and Jing Feng stepped out of the carriage, with a soldier supporting him.
"Little general, are you okay?"
Jiang Lin knew that Jing Tianlie didn't want to say anything, so he asked Jing Feng instead.
"I'm fine. Long Cheng'en, a dead eunuch, used a trick to ambush me. I'll settle the score with him sooner or later."
Jiang Lin was speechless: The general was beaten like this by Long Chengen, do you want to go to him to settle the score or go to him to die?
"A gentleman's revenge is never too late in ten years. The young general takes good care of himself first."
Jiang Lin could only comfort him like this.
Behind him were Lu Gan and a group of surviving generals, who followed them to Xingqing City.
The remaining Red Flame Army was stationed outside the city, and the Xixia army had already monitored them.
An eunuch came out of the palace and bowed to Monk Kongji: "Master, the king invites you and the general to come into the palace."
This eunuch was Ma Fang, the personal eunuch of King Shi Le.
Monk Kongji turned around and said, "General, let's go in."
Jing Tianlie nodded and said, "Please, Imperial Master."
The eunuch led the way, Monk Kongji rode into the palace, and Jing Tianlie followed on foot.
In the royal court, apart from King Shi Le, only Monk Kongji has the right to ride into the palace.
The two walked through the square, passed through several corridors, and stopped in front of a side hall.
The eunuch helped Monk Kongji lead his horse and helped Monk Kongji down.
"The king is in the palace. The national advisor and the general are here to invite you."
The eunuch made a gesture and invited Kong Ji and Jing Tianlie to come in.
Monk Kong Ji stepped forward and opened the door of the palace, followed by Jing Tianlie.
