Chapter 148: People lined the streets to celebrate Jiang Chen
After hearing Yu Qingbei's words, the five captains of Huai'an Guard shouted in unison.
"I obey your command!"
Looking at the five centurions, Yu Qingbei turned his gaze to a middle-aged man in armor who was walking towards him.
"Qingbei meets Commander Chu."
"Young prince, there is no need to be so polite. I just came to see if these boys are lazy."
As the commander of Huai'an Guard, Chu Xuance did not have the slightest bit of arrogance.
He bowed to Yu Qingbei.
"Brother Jiang, this is Chu Xuance, Commander Chu of Huai'an Guard."
After helping Chu Xuance up, Yu Qingbei introduced him to Jiang Chen.
Upon hearing this, Chu Xuance's gaze immediately turned to Jiang Chen.
"I have heard of Lord Jiang's great reputation for a long time. Seeing him today, I can see that his reputation is well-deserved."
"Compared to those other people in the Imperial Palace who are neither male nor female."
"Master Jiang can be called a man!"
Chu Xuance stared at Jiang Chen and said calmly.
This was the first time someone mentioned the fact that Jiang Chen was a eunuch in front of him.
Before, as Jiang Chen was the regent, naturally no one dared to mention this matter.
In addition, after Jiang Chen came to Jiangnan, everything he did was pleasing to the people.
Therefore, people have already forgotten about this matter.
But now, as Chu Xuance said this, Yu Qingbei was stunned where he was.
He didn't expect that this subordinate of his father.
She actually said these words in front of Jiang Chen without any scruples.
"Commander Chu..."
After being surprised for a moment, Yu Qingbei came back to his senses.
I opened my mouth and tried to see if I could save it.
But before he could finish, Jiang Chen said nonchalantly.
"These are just empty names. Commander Chu, you are too kind to praise me."
Seeing that Jiang Chen didn't care about his words at all, Chu Xuance's respect for him increased even more.
"Lord Jiang is truly a blessing to our Xia Nation!"
"I am convinced. Please accept my greeting on behalf of the people of Jiangnan."
As he said that, Chu Xuance prostrated himself before Jiang Chen.
He bowed down in front of five thousand Huai'an guards.
"We would like to thank Lord Jiang on behalf of the people of Jiangnan!"
Under the leadership of the commander Chu Xuance, a group of soldiers from Huai'an Guard also bowed to the ground.
Looking at this scene, Yu Qingbei immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
But when he looked at Jiang Chen again, he felt a little embarrassed.
"Everyone, please stand up quickly. Jiang is just a dirty eunuch."
"What I did was just following orders."
"I feel unworthy to receive such a great gift!"
Jiang Chen said as he stepped forward and helped Chu Xuance up.
However, the Huai'an guards did not stand up and still knelt there.
"Um, young prince, Commander Chu."
"You should get the soldiers up first!"
After hearing what Jiang Chen said, Yu Qingbei and Chu Xuance ordered the five thousand soldiers to stand up.
"Chu knows that you and the little prince are going to suppress the bandits."
"Then let Wang Zhongqing and Du Meng go with you two this time!"
After Chu Xuance thought for a while, he pushed out the two most brave and intelligent men under his command.
"That's fine, if we have the help of General Wang and General Du."
"This time, we will be able to suppress the bandits with ease!"
After hearing Chu Xuance's suggestion, Yu Qingbei's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Then I'll trouble you two generals."
Jiang Chen bowed to the two people Chu Xuance pointed at .
"I obey your orders!"
Wang Zhongqing and Du Meng quickly knelt on the ground and accepted the order.
Seeing that a candidate had been chosen, Jiang Chen and Yu Qingbei returned to the Huai'an Palace first.
After arranging other things one by one, it was the next morning.
Early in the morning, Jiang Chen, along with two hundred Jinyiwei, left the city with Yu Qingbei.
At this time, outside the city, two thousand Huai'an guards in armor had been waiting in formation for a long time.
In the morning light, the black armor on the soldiers shone brightly.
The forests of guns in their hands also emitted a heart-pounding cold light.
Looking at Huai'an Wei who was standing there motionless, like two thousand statues.
A line of saliva slowly flowed from the corner of Jiang Chen's mouth.
He was really envious of having such an army.
How majestic that would be!
However, in addition to the two thousand Huai'an guards, there were also five hundred county soldiers responsible for transporting food and fodder.
The leaders were Li Yulin and Wang Qingping, who had not been seen for a long time.
Looking at the two of them and Wang Zhongqing, Du Meng and the other three, Jiang Chen hurriedly went to greet them with a smile.
"Sorry for keeping the four generals waiting."
"Your Excellency, what are you talking about? We just arrived a short time ago. "
The four of them bowed quickly and said with a smile.
"Okay, now that everyone is here."
"Then let's set off and get rid of those bandits as soon as possible."
"The people can relax a little more."
Seeing that all the soldiers were ready, Jiang Chen said to Yu Qingbei.
"Well, let's do as Brother Jiang said and set off!"
"yes!"
Following the orders from Jiang Chen and Yu Qingbei, more than 2,000 Huai'an guards moved with the wind.
He quickly followed Jiang Chen and Yu Qingbei's carriage and headed towards Suhang County.
In the villages and towns he passed through, countless people who had heard that Jiang Chen was sending troops to suppress the bandits lined the streets to greet him.
But in order to find the real Fourth Prince as quickly as possible, Jiang Chen rejected the people's requests to stay one by one.
At the same time, the group of bandits far away in Qingfeng Mountain in Suzhou and Hangzhou County also received the news.
"Brother, this damn eunuch is really planning to attack us!"
"Damn it! A damn eunuch actually dared to attack us."
"If you ask me, let's just fight them head-on!"
Several strong men with heroic looks shouted loudly at the figure sitting on the first seat.
"Absolutely not!"
"Boss, brothers, the one who came with Jiang Chen is the Huai'an Guard!"
"With the strength of Huai'an Guard, we brothers are no match for them."
Just as the bandits were about to grab their weapons, a man who looked 30% similar to King Huai'an appeared.
A middle-aged man in a green Confucian robe quickly stood up.
"oh?!"
After hearing the middle-aged man's words, the figure sitting on the first seat finally opened his eyes.
"Then I don't know, what does the military advisor think?"
"Returning to the boss, I think we should take the initiative to surrender."
"We don't exploit the people like other people in the mountain villages."
"I think Lord Jiang will accept our surrender!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the bandits became unhappy.
"Damn it, the surname is Yu!"
"You must be the spy sent by that damn eunuch !"
"What about surrendering? Surrender your mother's ass. Brothers are so free in this mountain forest."
"If I really surrender, I will be miserable!"
A group of bandits loudly rebuked the middle-aged man.
Hearing these words, a trace of guilt flashed across the middle-aged man's face.
"alright!"
"Stop arguing, what the military advisor said makes sense."
The big boss who couldn't stand it any longer finally spoke up, and the bandits finally quieted down.
