Chapter 255: Love What You Do
Hearing the words of the centurion of the Silver Armor Guard, the old officials were so frightened that they knelt on the ground.
"Sir, sir, spare me , sir!"
"This matter was all the idea of the playboy Yu Lingtian. It has nothing to do with us old fools!"
The old ministers who were afraid of death shamelessly put all the blame on Yu Lingtian.
Hearing these words from his father's old ministers, Yu Lingtian laughed wildly at himself.
“Hahahaha. Hahaha.”
"So these are my father's most loyal subjects!"
"You really opened my eyes!"
Yu Lingtian roared hysterically at the old ministers under the command of King Jin, venting his strong dissatisfaction.
Watching this interesting scene, Jiang Chen couldn't help but smile and became a spectator.
Faced with Yu Lingtian's ridicule, King Jin's old ministers did not show any shame.
On the contrary, an old and prestigious minister walked to the front of the crowd and spoke to Yu Lingtian.
"Your Highness, what do you mean by this!?"
"You have clearly deceived us all and we had no idea that you were planning to assassinate the Duke of Fuguo!"
These old officials are so shameless and can lie without batting an eyelid.
Yu Lingtian didn't say anything else, just kept sneering.
Seeing that the farce was almost over, Jiang Chen slowly stood up.
When Jiang Chen walked in front of the old ministers, they all bowed their heads respectfully.
"I've seen enough of the excitement. Keeping you here is of no use to me."
"But do you really think that I know nothing?!"
As Jiang Chen's tone changed, all the old ministers began to panic.
If it weren’t for the support of these old ministers.
How could Yu Lingtian dare to poison Jiang Chen without telling King Jin!
They thought they had done nothing and that they could escape Jiang Chen's accountability by simply blaming all the mistakes on Yu Lingtian.
But they forgot that Jiang Chen is not a good man!
For those who dare to use such despicable means behind his back or even in front of him.
It can be said that Jiang Chen has no good feelings towards him at all.
Hearing that Jiang Chen was going to hold them accountable, several senior officials became furious.
Even the King of Jin has to show them some courtesy in front of them!
Now, Jiang Chen is just a kid who hasn't even fully grown his hair yet, and he doesn't even give them any face!
Thinking of this, driven by their inner anger, several senior officials spoke loudly to Jiang Chen.
"My Lord, the Duke of Fuguo!"
"I respect you so much that I call you Duke of Fuguo!"
"I advise you to consider the consequences before speaking."
"If you dare to touch us, the prince's old ministers, there will be no place for you in the entire northern territory!"
These old ministers from major families in the North relied on the power of their families and were not afraid of Jiang Chen at all!
In their eyes, Jiang Chen was just a young man from the imperial capital with some wisdom!
But then, a figure walked out.
All these old ministers from various major families were stunned where they were.
"Haha, the heads of the families are so majestic!"
"I have never heard of this northern land."
"It's not your turn to say anything, you stinky bugs!"
Along with an old voice, an old man with white hair and beard walked out with a cane.
After seeing this figure, the few old ministers who had been so arrogant just now instantly became like eggplants hit by frost.
"Gong... Big Brother Gongsun, why are you here again?!"
The person who came was Gongsun Liang’s father, the head of the Gongsun family—Gongsun Wuyan!
Gongsun Wuyan appeared on the scene, leaning on a cane and wearing a coarse linen robe.
Jiang Chen couldn't help but have four words suddenly pop up in his mind.
"Immortal spirit!"
At first glance, it turned out to be the patriarch of the former number one family in the North.
The old ministers all widened their eyes and looked at the scene in disbelief.
"Jiang greets uncle. Thank you for your hard work and for making you make such a special trip."
Jiang Chen, who had long called Gongsun Liang a brother, said this and bowed to the amiable old man.
"No need to be so polite, Duke Fuguo. Liang'er has already worshipped you as his lord."
"Then this old man and the entire Gongsun family will follow the orders of the Duke of Fuguo!"
Gongsun Wuyan was very satisfied with the way Jiang Chen addressed him.
But when he remembered that he was now the other party's subject, he hurriedly said with some flattery.
As Gongsun Wuyan appeared, he shocked all the old ministers.
Jiang Chen also told us how he dealt with these people.
The few old ministers who had just stood up and disrespected Jiang Chen were dragged out by Jiang Chen's men.
Of course, Jiang Chen will not let go of the noble families behind them!
Jiang Chen looked at the old ministers who were dragged out, turned around and said to Prime Minister Huo who was standing beside him.
"Xiang Huo, I have something I want you to do."
When Huo Xiang heard that Jiang Chen had something to entrust to him, although he was a little confused, he still stepped forward.
"I am here, my lord, just give me your orders!"
"Take two hundred silver-armored guards and kill all those noble families for me!"
Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Huo was immediately delighted.
Ever since the last time he led his men to form bandits in the seven mountains and forty-nine villages to rob houses.
This man who was once King An's right-hand man actually liked the feeling of robbing and plundering!
Therefore, when he heard that Jiang Chen had asked someone to take him to search his house, he was so happy that he could hardly stop smiling.
Fortunately, he was wearing a mask all the time, otherwise Jiang Chen would be speechless when he saw Huo Xiang’s smiling face at this moment.
Wow, this is really the saying "love what you do"...
Although she was willing to follow Jiang Chen's orders, she remembered that there would be no one to protect Jiang Chen after she left.
Thinking of this, Huo Xiang's heart began to waver.
Just then, two figures rushed in with a team of soldiers.
"General Xiang , please go with peace of mind. Leave the safety of the Lord to us!"
Following the sound and taking a look, Huo Xiang was no longer worried about Jiang Chen's safety.
These two figures were following the orders of King Jin.
Xiong Kehui and Xu Mang brought a thousand soldiers to protect Jiang Chen!
Looking at Xiong Kehui and Xu Mang who came in, Huo Lian hurriedly bowed.
"In that case, I'll leave the lord to you two."
"General Xiang, rest assured, we will ensure that you are safe and sound!"
Just like that, after giving some instructions to Jiang Chen, Huo Xiang couldn't wait to take his men out of Qinghe Restaurant.
