Chapter 163: Your Majesty, you will not live long!
As Jiang Chen finished his order, a hint of surprise flashed across the faces of Li Jiadong and Li Yingge, father and daughter.
"Sir, why is this happening?"
"Could it be that we are going to...?"
Out of shock, Li Jiadong asked Jiang Chen in confusion.
"Yes, I am going to recruit a private army."
"Besides that, I have one more thing I want to instruct you to do."
Jiang Chen looked at Li Jiadong and his daughter and said with a smile.
"Your Excellency, please give us your orders. My father and I will do our best."
Hearing that Jiang Chen had something to entrust to himself and his daughter, Li Jiadong quickly put aside his doubts.
For him and Li Yingge, Jiang Chen is their heaven.
Jiang Chen's words are the truth that they are willing to defend with their lives.
"When you go back later, go find Gan Lao San."
"Tell him to find all the materials for me according to this list."
"Remember, you must conceal your presence and collect as many as you can!"
"When the time comes, just transfer the money you need from the restaurant's account."
As he spoke, Jiang Chen took out a list that he had prepared long ago from his arms.
Then, he handed the list to Li Jiadong.
After taking the list, Li Jiadong did not look at what was on it.
He knew that Jiang Chen trusted him, which was why he gave him full authority to do the task with such confidence.
So, after taking the list, Li Jiadong carefully put it into his arms.
"Okay, that's all for now."
"You guys go down first!"
Seeing Li Jiadong put away the list, Jiang Chen nodded.
He waved his hand, signaling the father and daughter that they could leave.
"Sir, my father and I will take our leave now."
After saying that, Li Jiadong took Li Yingge to bow to Jiang Chen.
Leaning on a crutch, he left the Jiyuan Marquis Mansion with the help of Li Yingge.
Helping her father to sit in the carriage, Li Yingge looked at her father in silence.
"Father, what do you think the adults are going to do?"
"Are you going to buy food and military equipment?"
Hearing his daughter's question, Li Jiadong quickly opened his eyes.
"Girl, keep your voice down!"
"Let alone you, even your father is a little curious about this kind of thing."
"But since you have just established your government, it is normal for you to start recruiting private soldiers."
"However, you also know about the assassination attempt on the emperor a few days ago."
"This time, the emperor was able to confer the title of Marquis on you and promoted you to the position of Vice Minister of the Ministry of War."
"This means that the emperor may not live long..."
Li Jiadong first scolded Li Yingge, then looked at the curtains of the carriage and inquired about the surrounding environment.
He came close to his daughter and spoke in a low voice.
When Li Yingge heard her father's last words, she was stunned.
If this is true, then the entire imperial capital will be in chaos!
No, not just the imperial capital, but the entire Xia Kingdom.
The current emperor has been on the throne for so many years, but he doesn't even have an heir.
Therefore, as long as the emperor dies, the four princes, including the regent, will be killed.
By then, there will definitely be a bloody storm due to the fight for the throne!
Thinking of this, Li Yingge couldn't help but take a breath.
You know, if things really develop in this way.
Then the entire Xia Kingdom would be completely finished!
"Father, could it be that the adults are also...?"
"Girl, what are you thinking about?"
Seeing his daughter making random guesses, a hint of displeasure flashed across Li Jiadong's face.
"Your Excellency is raising funds for arms and purchasing food, how can it be just to fight for that position?"
As he said that, Li Jiadong couldn't help but pick up his cane and knocked Li Yingge on the head.
"Well, these are not things that you and I, father and daughter, should worry about."
"Since the Lord has done this, he must have his own ideas."
"He saved our lives, so we are his servants."
"We just need to do what he says."
Li Jiadong took back his crutches and spoke earnestly to his daughter .
"Don't ask why. Just do it. This is our duty as servants!"
"I understand, father."
Hearing her father's kind words of advice, Li Yingge nodded thoughtfully.
From the moment Jiang Chen rescued them, father and daughter, their lives no longer belonged to them!
In the Jiyuan Marquis Mansion, Jiang Chen saw off Li Jiadong and his daughter.
Then he came to the Jinyiwei command post again.
Zhang Fei, who was busy, heard the news of Jiang Chen's arrival.
He excitedly dropped what he was doing and ran to Jiang Chen.
"Zhang Fei, hello, Master!"
Jiang Chen was also somewhat happy when he saw Zhang Fei, whom he hadn't seen for three months.
"Get up!"
"Yes, sir."
Hearing Jiang Chen's order, Zhang Fei quickly stood up.
"During the time I was away, how has the Jinyiwei in Beizhen developed?"
"My Lord, there are now more than 3,000 members of the Jinyiwei in Beizhen."
"Moreover, we have established guard posts in all the major county towns in the north of our Xia country."
"We have even placed spies in the major counties below."
Zhang Fei proudly told Jiang Chen about his achievements over the past three months.
"Well, you did a great job!"
"But how is the thing I asked you to do going?"
After praising Zhang Fei's achievements, Jiang Chen asked again.
As for what it was, it was of course that Jiang Chen asked Zhang Fei to secretly adopt an orphan.
"My Lord, I will follow your orders."
"I have taken in three hundred orphans through the connections of Lao Ba's Secret Restaurant."
"And they are all boys aged thirteen or fourteen."
After hearing Jiang Chen's words, Zhang Fei naturally understood that Jiang Chen was asking about this matter.
"Yes, continue to adopt."
"But it's time to start training them!"
Seeing that Zhang Fei had done a flawless job, Jiang Chen nodded with satisfaction.
"But, my lord, do we really want to train them according to the plan you set before?"
Faced with Jiang Chen 's decision, Zhang Fei asked with some reluctance.
"What else?!"
"I spent so much money to adopt them, I should at least see some return!"
"But sir, they are still children!"
Zhang Fei continued speaking with an unbearable heart.
"Zhang Fei!"
"Don't forget, even if I don't adopt them."
"Sooner or later, they will starve to death in any corner of this world!"
"Now, here's what we have to do."
"It just makes their deaths more meaningful."
"Just do as I tell you!"
"I don't want to hear any more of your doubts about my orders!"
"This is the first time and the last time!"
Seeing Zhang Fei constantly questioning his decision, Jiang Chen lost his patience.
He frowned and scolded Zhang Fei.
