Chapter 251 Invitation
With Xiong Kehui's introduction, Xu Mang staggered in front of Jiang Chen.
"General Xu Mang pays respect to His Excellency the Duke of Fuguo."
Jiang Chen looked at Xu Mang carefully and couldn't help but feel curious.
He was indeed somewhat puzzled as to why Xiong Kehui suddenly introduced Xu Mang to him.
You know, in his impression, Xiong Kehui doesn't seem like the kind of person who curries favor with the powerful.
Seeing that Jiang Chen was a little confused, Xiong Kehui quickly continued to explain.
"Duke Fuguo, you don't have to worry too much. This is why I introduced Xu Mang to you."
"It's just because this guy is always so careless with his words, and he has offended many people under the prince's command."
"So, I want you to keep him by your side as a personal guard or something like that."
After listening to Xiong Kehui's explanation, Jiang Chen finally understood Xiong Kehui's intention.
It has to be said that Xiong Kehui's proposal was exactly what Jiang Chen wanted.
Although the five thousand silver-armored guards could serve as his personal guard, Jiang Chen really lacked someone who could protect him closely.
"Good suggestion, then you can stay!"
As Jiang Chen finished his words, Xu Mang became unhappy.
Just after Jiang Chen walked into Taiyuan City, the man who was following Jiang Chen complained to Xiong Kehui in a low voice.
"Hey, hey, hey, blind bear, you want me to protect a pretty boy?!"
"What I'm saying is, you look down on me, Old Xu, too much!"
Faced with Xu Mang's questioning, Xiong Kehui rolled his eyes and retorted to Xu Mang.
"You should be more careful. Don't you see this guy's record?"
"The 150,000-strong coalition army of Qi and Ming was completely defeated by this man."
"Following him may be the blessing I've been waiting for!"
After saying this, Xiong Kehui did not stop, but followed Jiang Chen with big strides.
After a while, under the guidance of Xiong Kehui.
Jiang Chen and his group arrived outside the Prince Jin's Mansion in the city center.
From a distance, Jiang Chen discovered that the Prince of Jin's Palace in front of him was the same as the Prince of Huai'an's Palace.
The area they cover is not very large, nor are they as luxurious as the mansions of dignitaries in the imperial capital.
Looking at the Prince of Jin's Mansion, Jiang Chen couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"It seems that the late emperor was not only wise in governing the country, but also successful in educating his children."
After expressing his feelings for a while, Jiang Chen got off his horse and came to the gate of Prince Jin's Mansion.
At this time, outside the gate of Prince Jin's Mansion, Sun Zhong, the military advisor of Prince Jin, had been waiting here for a long time.
When he saw Jiang Chen, he smiled and bowed to Jiang Chen.
"Sun Zhong, I meet the Duke of Fuguo."
"Master Sun, there is no need to be so polite. Please get up quickly."
Jiang Chen hurriedly stepped forward and helped Sun Zhong up personally.
Looking at Jiang Chen's attitude towards him, Sun Zhong felt somewhat relieved.
According to King Jin's wishes, they were originally under the King Jin's command.
They will all gather under Jiang Chen's command, give him advice and fight on the battlefield.
Although Sun Zhong and his men had no complaints about King Jin's orders, they were afraid of Jiang Chen!
To Jiang Chen, these people are dispensable.
Then everything they have now and all the efforts they have made will disappear.
In such a psychological environment, Sun Zhong began to worry about his future path.
But now, Jiang Chen's action and tone of voice towards him gave him a shot of cardiac stimulant.
Not only Sun Zhong, but also the officials of King Jin who were following behind Sun Zhong at this time.
They were also excited in their hearts, and their vigilance towards Jiang Chen suddenly dissipated.
Accompanied by Sun Zhong and Xiong Kehui, Jiang Chen came all the way to the bedside of King Jin.
His face was rosy many days ago, but now he is pale and sitting on the sickbed.
At this moment, King Jin, who was sitting on the sickbed, opened his eyes.
After seeing Jiang Chen's figure, King Jin forced himself to smile.
"The Duke of Fuguo has arrived. I am sorry for not welcoming you from afar. I hope you will forgive me."
After listening to King Jin's words, Jiang Chen quickly waved his hand and said something to express his opinion.
"It's okay, King Jin, you worry too much."
After saying that, Jiang Chen sat down in front of King Jin's sickbed.
Then, he exchanged greetings with the King of Jin.
As the two chatted about some trivial matters, Prince Jin finally took the lead in bringing the topic to the point.
The King of Jin called Xiong Kehui and Sun Zhong to his side and took out a piece of silk book from under his pillow.
"Sun Zhong, please read this silk book to the Duke of Fuguo for me."
Looking at the silk book that Prince Jin took out and the flash of relief in his eyes, Sun Zhong sighed.
"I, Yu Anjin, the King of Jin of Xia State, feel that I am old and no longer ambitious."
"As such, I no longer have the energy to defend the northern border."
"Now, the Duke of Fuguo, General Zhenbei Jiang Chen, has emerged and defeated the Qi and Ming coalition forces."
"Your military exploits and achievements are so great that I am ashamed to be inferior to you."
"Therefore, this king is willing to take the initiative to hand over all matters of the Northern Territory, no matter how big or small, so that this son can take over everything!"
After reading the contents of the silk book, Sun Zhong bowed his head and said nothing, quietly waiting for the King of Jin to speak.
After listening to Sun Zhong finish reading the contents of the silk book , Jiang Chen raised his head.
Then, he stared at Prince Jin's face, observing the changes in his expression.
After noticing Jiang Chen's gaze, King Jin laughed out loud without caring.
"Prince Fuguo, what do you think of my decision?"
Faced with King Jin's question, Jiang Chen was slightly stunned, then replied with a smile.
"This way, Your Majesty, you can have some free time..."
Hearing Jiang Chen's slightly complaining words, King Jin couldn't help but burst into laughter again.
Just like that, after receiving the silk letter from Prince Jin, Jiang Chen temporarily stayed in Prince Jin's mansion.
At the same time, in Yu Lingtian’s bedroom, the figure walked out from the darkness again.
Looking at the figure that appeared again, Yu Lingtian hurriedly walked up and asked the figure.
"When are you going to start?"
In response to Yu Lingtian's question, the figure took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and threw it to Yu Lingtian.
"This contains poison. Just one drop is enough to kill Jiang Chen."
"As for when to take action, that's what you have to do!"
"We are only responsible for helping you get out, but you have to decide the timing yourself."
Having said that, without giving Yu Lingtian a chance to react, he disappeared again.
Looking at the porcelain bottle in his hand, Yu Lingtian stood there in a daze, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
The next morning, Yu Lingtian, the prince of Jin, sent someone to deliver an invitation to Jiang Chen.
“Knock knock knock—”
A knock on the door woke up Jiang Chen who was still sleeping.
Jiang Chen, who was half asleep, staggered open the door and asked Huo Xiang who was guarding outside.
