Chapter 157: Find the Fourth Prince!
As Jiang Chen's army returned to Huai'an City, the King of Huai'an had already greeted them outside the city with a group of people from the royal palace.
It seemed that Jiang Chen brought back a quarter more troops than before.
Prince Huai'an was slightly stunned, but soon felt relieved.
Since Jiang Chen wanted to form an army of his own, it was reasonable for him to recruit these bandits.
Jiang Chen and Yu Qingbei saw the troops outside the city from afar.
Yu Qingbei couldn't hold back and said something to Jiang Chen.
"Brother Jiang, I'm going to see my father first!"
After saying that, Yu Qingbei spurred his horse to speed up and galloped away.
Looking at Yu Qingbei's back, Jiang Chen shook his head helplessly.
"This guy really can't help himself at all."
Then, watching Yu Qingbei meeting with Huai'an King's men, Jiang Chen also spoke to Wang Zhongqing and Du Meng behind him.
"Two generals, let's speed up!"
"Yes, Lord Jiang."
Seeing that Jiang Chen intended to speed up, the two nodded.
Soon, Jiang Chen brought two thousand Huai'an guards to the King of Huai'an.
"Jiang Chen, meet the prince!"
"Hahaha, Master Jiang, you've worked hard. Get up quickly!"
Looking at Jiang Chen who had rushed back exhausted, King Huai'an smiled and nodded.
Then, he walked forward and helped Jiang Chen up.
"Your Majesty, we two generals have accomplished our mission."
"The bandit problem in Suzhou and Hangzhou has been quelled under the command of Lord Jiang!"
After Jiang Chen was helped up by Prince Huai'an, Wang Zhongqing and Du Meng also stepped forward and told him the battle report.
Although King Huai'an had already received the news of Jiang Chen's great victory.
But when he heard the news with his own ears, he was still very happy.
The most important thing is that he can finally see his fourth brother who has been away from home!
Soon, the county soldiers led by Li Yulin and the bandits led by Cheng Heilang and others also arrived.
King Huai'an then praised everyone and appeased Cheng Heilang and the others.
He couldn't wait to take Jiang Chen and a group of Jinyiwei back to the palace.
In the palace of Prince Huai'an, in the familiar study.
"Master Jiang, are you sure that person is my fourth brother?"
For fear of leaking the news, Jiang Chen did not bring Lao Yu back.
Instead, he ordered the Jinyiwei and the sloppy young man to secretly place him in a private residence.
Now, King Huai'an can't wait to meet Lao Yu.
The most important thing is to first determine the other party's identity.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I have confirmed it."
"This old Yu has been an orphan since he was young and was adopted by a couple in Suzhou and Hangzhou County."
"When he was found, he was exactly five or six years old."
"This also fits the situation when the Fourth Prince was lost."
"Also, when they adopted him, the couple found a dragon-shaped jade pendant next to him."
"Today, the dragon-shaped jade pendant is still with him."
"However, although Old Yu already had a wife and children, they were all killed by the bandits from Qingfeng Village."
Seeing that Prince Huai'an was still somewhat worried, Jiang Chen told him the news he had found out.
When hearing Jiang Chen say that Old Yu had a dragon-shaped jade pendant on him, King Huai'an said with a trembling body.
"Yes, a dragon-shaped jade pendant!"
“That’s great! That’s great!”
"Father, I finally found my fourth brother!"
After hearing the news, Prince Huai'an stood up with tears in his eyes.
Then, he knelt down in the direction of the late emperor's tomb.
The reason why Prince Huai'an lost his composure was that the late emperor once carried a dragon-shaped jade pendant with him.
It was not until the late emperor's death that Prince Huai'an learned that the late emperor had made sure that the fourth prince would be found.
So he left the dragon-shaped jade pendant with the Fourth Prince!
In addition, there is the auspicious cloud birthmark on Lao Yu’s back.
It can be concluded that Old Yu is the fourth prince who was lost that year!
"Lord Jiang, I thank you on behalf of the late emperor who has long passed away."
Surprised, King Huai'an stood up crying, wiped his tears, and bowed to Jiang Chen.
"Your Majesty, you can't do this! You can't do this!"
"If it weren't for the information you provided, I would not have been able to find the Fourth Emperor."
"Now that the identity of the Fourth Emperor has been confirmed, what should we do now?"
After helping King Huai'an up, Jiang Chen asked hurriedly.
Now, the fake emperor in the imperial capital has been assassinated last time.
His already weak body became even weaker.
There is a possibility of passing away at any time!
The regent in the imperial capital has long been eyeing the throne.
In this way, Jiang Chen and his companions found Lao Yu, the real Fourth Prince.
But once the fake emperor dies, the regent will definitely take the opportunity to seize the throne.
By then, the princes will no longer be able to suppress their ambitions.
In this case, the Xia Kingdom will probably be in chaos!
King Huai'an also knew what Jiang Chen was thinking, but for now, they could not push Old Yu out.
As soon as possible, Lao Yu, the real fourth son of the late emperor, should be pushed out.
Then the Xia Kingdom will collapse even faster and fall into chaos!
Thinking of this, King Huai'an frowned.
After thinking carefully, King Huai'an said to Jiang Chen.
"Now you and the king can only wait until the right time!"
"Your business in Jiangnan is over this time, so you must return to the imperial capital as soon as possible."
"When you return to the imperial capital, you should establish a good relationship with the regent."
"Think of another way to see if we can get ."
As he spoke, King Huai'an glanced at Jiang Chen with a smile.
"That fake emperor has occupied the throne of my Yu family for so long, so he must leave with some value!"
Hearing this, Jiang Chen also smiled knowingly.
It seems that this fake emperor whom I had tried so hard to please before.
After returning to the imperial capital this time, I have to work harder!
After deciding what to do next, Jiang Chen set out on his journey back to the imperial capital.
However, compared to the one hundred Jinyiwei he brought with him.
When Jiang Chen returned, he brought a total of three hundred people with him.
Among them, there were a hundred Huai'an guards that King Huai'an had long promised to give to Jiang Chen.
There are also one hundred Jinyiwei elites selected from the Jinyiwei South Town.
As for Cheng Heilang and the 400 surrendered bandits, they were retained by King Huai'an.
Of course, these bandits were left behind to help Jiang Chen train his troops!
Now that Jiang Chen is a first-class viscount, he has the right to establish his own government office.
What's more, he is now the regent!
Looking at the imperial capital after more than two months away, Jiang Chen was filled with emotion .
"Let's go, let's go into the city!"
Accompanied by a hundred Jinyiwei, Jiang Chen rode his horse into the imperial capital.
As for the other two hundred people, Jiang Chen left them in his territory outside the city.
The moment Jiang Chen returned to the imperial capital, the "Emperor" lying on the sickbed and the Regent in the palace received the news of his return at the same time.
