dream of red mansion

Chapter 710
The sound of killing shook the sky, the shadow of swords and candles, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

Jia Qing stood in front of his big tent, watching the killing in the distance.

Apart from dozens of guards, the closest ones to Jia Qing were the maids and eunuchs who fled here in fright.One by one, their faces turned blue from fright, and they gathered around the handsome tent they thought was safe.

tick tock...

Zhao Donglai and Wu Fang strode over. The blood dripping from Wu Fang's majestic armor to the ground was particularly frightening in the cold night.

"I would like to report to General Jia that except for the hundreds of prisoners, the rest have all been killed."

"How about our casualties?"

"Still counting."

Jia Qing nodded.

"Hurry up, don't dawdle!"

The officers and soldiers of the Imperial Army escorted Soraya and several maids around her, their behavior was quite rude.

Perhaps she had never been treated like this before, Princess Soraya's face was full of sadness and tears, and she looked at the group of lockers in front of her sadly.

"Why are you doing this..."

Her voice was as soft and pleasant as ever.

Seeing her like this, Jia Qing couldn't bear to cross her mind.But her expression was not obvious, she walked down the wooden steps indifferently, raised her chin and said, "You are not Princess Soraya!"

"You, how do you know...?"

Soraya, oh, the fake princess should have said in panic.

The corner of Jia Qing's mouth raised.

He had been thinking just now, if all this was a conspiracy, would Russia's Peter the Great be willing to send his favorite jewel to Da Chu?

I didn't expect this fake princess to be so unscrupulous, and she would be exposed as soon as she tried it.

"It's too much to deceive! It's too much to deceive~!"

Ren Da, who was hiding in the tent just now, had come out at this time, just heard it, and immediately cursed.

Russia is deceiving people too much. The entire Great Chu Dynasty has been preparing for this marriage for more than two months. They used such high etiquette to make a big splash and traveled thousands of miles to welcome the marriage. The other party actually used a fake princess to prevaricate...

This is a blatant humiliation of Da Chu!
Ren Da, a doctor of the Ministry of Rites, was ashamed and angry for a moment, or to show his "courage", he pulled out the saber from the guard's waist, and came down angrily, raising the saber to kill the woman who had humiliated Da Chu.

Jia Qing looked at it coldly, and seemed to have no intention of saying anything to stop it.

Zhao Donglai waited to see that Jia Qing didn't speak or make a sound.

“&[email protected]^O^&ampamp..."

Just when the false princess was so frightened that she closed her eyes and waited to die, a maid beside her yelled loudly, looking very anxious.

"Wait!"

Jia Qing grabbed Ren Da's wrist at the last moment and said, "Listen to what she said first."

He was accompanied by Han Chinese who could speak Russian, but it was a pity that he didn't know where to hide for a while.

So Jia Qing said to the fake princess: "If my guess is correct, she should mean that your status is also very noble, so we can't kill you, right?"

Jia Qingzao could see that the princess was very elegant in every move, and she was probably from aristocratic background.That's right, even if he wanted to fool Da Chu, it's unlikely that Fyodor would pretend to be a commoner girl, it would be too easy to expose.

The false princess tightly closed her eyes, and only after hearing Jia Qing's words did she realize that she was not dead.Opening his eyes, he saw that the handsome young man on the opposite side had saved him, but he couldn't feel any gratitude in his heart.She knew that it was this person who ordered the killing of her partner before.

"Princess... let's call you princess. The princess doesn't have to look at me with such hatred. The two countries are at war. Since you have done careful work, you should have been prepared to be discovered and killed.

However, my Great Chu conquers the world with benevolence and virtue. As long as the princess no longer deliberately deceives, our Great Chu will not make things difficult for you.Otherwise, the princess should know what happens to female prisoners in the army! "

Jia Qing smiled brightly.

"If I told you my identity, would you let me go?"

The fake princess expects Ai Ai's way.

Jia Qing smiled inwardly, if she wasn't pretending, this Russian woman was really naive.This actually made Jia Qing look forward to her identity a little more. Generally, only people who are used to being cared for by their elders can have such an innocent personality.

"I can't make the decision to let you go, but if you cooperate, I can guarantee that you can return to our capital with dignity. Then your fate will depend on the outcome of negotiations between Russia and us. "

The false princess was obviously not as ignorant as Jia Qing thought, she understood what Jia Qing meant, hesitated for a moment, and said slowly: "I, my father is Fyodor Vickifor Nikolov, I Ivan Fyodor Nikolov..."

Jia Qing was taken aback: "Your father is Fyodor?"

Even Jia Qing knew that Fyodor was the Eastern Grand Duke of Russia and the commander of the Cossack cavalry.

He actually used his own daughter as bait?
"Why did you pretend to be Princess Soraya? What's your purpose?" Jia Qing continued to ask.

"I have no idea……"

Jia Qing frowned and said, "Miss Ivan, please understand that it is Russia who has disobeyed its promises and used secret tricks to destroy the alliance. Now our two countries are still at war. If I can't get my If you want, you should know your end."

"No, no, no, I didn't lie to you. I really don't know. I was forced by my father to pretend to be Sister Soraya to your Dachu to get married. I don't know what his purpose is. All the things along the way It's all Balshak's decision, and I always listen to his arrangements..."

Ivan explained nervously, waving his hands again and again, describing panic.

Jia Qing gave Zhao Donglai a look, and Zhao Donglai went down. After a while, he dragged back a corpse wearing a Russian general's costume, and said, "It's probably him who was killed in the previous war."

When Ivan saw the man's body, he was frightened immediately, and kept praying with his palms together.

Jia Qing kicked the corpse, frowned and said: "He must not be the only one among them who knows, find someone to interrogate all the prisoners, and you must not let go of any clues.

As for Miss Ivan, since she is Fyodor's daughter, she had better take care of her and bring her back to the capital to await His Majesty's orders. "

After giving these orders, Jia Qing returned to the big tent.

After a while, Zhao Donglai and Wu Jian came in and reported: "The results of the battle have been counted. In this battle, a total of 640 and 320 enemies were wiped out, and 970 and [-] were captured. There were only [-] and [-] of them in total. There are no escapees."

Jia Qing nodded, and said: "Based on this calculation, there are more than a thousand people less than the [-] people reported by the Ministry of Rites. It's a pity that we were careless before and didn't notice it! If it wasn't for Princess Tana's chance to break through, we really want to let it go. We escorted them all the way to the capital, but the result is really unpredictable!
By the way, where is Princess Tana? "

Zhao Donglai said: "Princess, she didn't listen to dissuasion before and insisted on entering the enemy's line. She was stabbed in the back and has already entered the army camp. She has sought medical treatment for her wounds."

Nodding her head and leaving her alone, Jia Qing asked again: "How many casualties are there on our side?"

Zhao Donglai's expression suddenly became sad, and said: "We seized the opportunity and took some of them out in the dark, but we were discovered soon, and we set fire to their military tents. Under such circumstances, 880 brothers still died. Five of the 560 belonged to the Jinyi Army, and seven of the 310 belonged to the Imperial Army. There were more than 400 injured..."

Jia Qing's heart trembled slightly, the battle lasted only about an hour, and about one-third of the [-] soldiers were lost.Moreover, the number of dead is twice as high as the number of disabled, which shows the ferocity of the enemy!
This is still under the circumstances of their surprise attack. It is conceivable that if they put up a battle and do it with real knives and guns, the result is still unknown.

The fighting power of the Cossacks should not be underestimated.
