Chapter 267 Summoning Ban Cheng
After receiving Jiang Chen's instructions, Gongsun Liang led two hundred silver-armored guards out of Jibei City overnight.
After traveling all night, Gongsun Liang stopped Princess Cangtong's convoy halfway.
"The convoy ahead, stop!"
The two silver-armored centurions who came with Gongsun Liang and the silver-armored guards behind them quickly surrounded Princess Cangtong's convoy.
Faced with these silver-armored guards who suddenly appeared, the Swift Wolf Guards quickly drew the scimitars .
However, before the Swift Wolf Guards could react.
Princess Cangtong, who was sitting in the carriage, spoke out to stop them.
"Wait a minute!"
"Hadan, don't be impulsive. I think they are not enemies."
As Princess Cangtong finished speaking, Gongsun Liang slowly rode out on his horse.
"That's right, Princess Cangtong, we are not your enemies."
After hearing what Gongsun Liang said, Princess Cangtong lifted the curtain of the carriage and walked down.
"Mr. Xia, I guess you were sent by the Duke of Fuguo, right?!"
In response to Princess Cangtong's question, Gongsun Liang smiled and nodded.
"That's right. I am here to welcome the princess on the orders of my lord."
After receiving Gongsun Liang's affirmative answer, Princess Cangtong couldn't help but smile.
"It seems that the Duke of Fuguo has done a good job in intelligence work."
"Okay, Hadan, let the brothers put away their weapons!"
At the command of Princess Cangtong, the Swift Wolf Guards put away their scimitars.
Seeing Princess Cangtong turn around and look at him again, Gongsun Liang said with a smile.
"Then, please come with me, my lord!"
"good."
After hearing Gongsun Liang's words, Princess Cangtong did not refuse.
Instead, he turned around and calmly returned to his carriage.
Just like that, under the "escort" of two hundred silver-armored guards, Princess Cangtong's convoy slowly drove towards Jibei City.
After half a day's journey, the group finally returned to Jibei City.
They brought Princess Cangtong and her entourage to the mansion that had been prepared long ago.
Gongsun Liang reined in the warhorse under his crotch, dismounted and came to the front of the carriage.
"Princess, this is the residence we have prepared for you."
"It's really hard for you to prepare such a secluded yard for me."
Princess Cangtong looked at this somewhat secluded courtyard and couldn't help but tease Gongsun Liang.
Facing the ridicule from the impoverished princess, Gongsun Liang simply responded indifferently.
"I hope the county lord will forgive us so that the imperial capital won't find your whereabouts."
"Our lord must keep a low profile. I'm sure you don't want to be sent back to the Canglang Kingdom, right?!"
After hearing Gongsun Liang's answer, the sturdy man guarding Princess Cangtong drew out the scimitar from his waist with an angry look on his face.
"How dare you be so rude to Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
In the eyes of this strong man named "Hadan Bater".
Although Princess Cangtong is now in trouble, she is still the princess of Canglang Kingdom after all.
How could a few people from Xia country have the right to humiliate her!
Seeing Hadan Bater draw his scimitar, the two silver-armored centurions also drew their swords and protected Gongsun Liang.
Seeing that the two sides were about to draw their swords over a disagreement, Princess Cangtong hurriedly shouted to stop them.
"Hadan, what are you doing!?"
"Put away all your knives!"
"This gentleman is our benefactor, so don't be rude to him!"
"But, Princess..."
"I said, put away all the knives!"
Under the reprimand of Princess Cangtong, Hadan Bater and a group of Swift Wolf Guards had no choice but to put their swords back to their waists.
Seeing that the other party had put away their weapons, the silver-armored guards put away their swords.
"Well, after such a long journey, I'm sure you are very tired."
"It just so happens that I have to go back and report to my lord, so I'll take my leave now."
After saying that, he bowed to Princess Cangtong.
Gongsun Liang then turned around and left with a group of silver-armored guards.
Looking at the backs of Gongsun Liang and others leaving, Princess Cangtong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hadan, take the brothers in."
"This will be our residence from now on."
"As you command, Your Highness."
Afterwards, Princess Cangtong and her entourage moved into this mansion.
Although this mansion is not very big, it is enough for more than sixty people to live in.
Of course, Jiang Chen wouldn't just leave them there like that.
When Princess Cangtong and others entered the mansion, their every move was under the surveillance of the "ant hole".
As soon as Gongsun Liang and his men returned to Jiang Chen's "Fuguo Mansion", they went straight to Jiang Chen's study.
"My lord, I have brought Princess Cangtong back."
Jiang Chen, who was handling government affairs, heard this and looked up at Gongsun Liang.
Then he put down the brush in his hand and spoke to Gongsun Liang.
"Thank you for your hard work, Military Advisor. Go back and have a rest first."
"Princess Cangtong has the 'ant nest' over there, so you don't have to worry."
Hearing Jiang Chen's caring words, Gongsun Liang scratched his head embarrassedly.
"Ahem, my lord, please stop giving me such verbal compliments."
"How about we get down to business, don't you think?"
After listening to Gongsun Liang's words, Jiang Chen immediately understood what this guy meant.
"Hahaha, you, you are just thinking about the wine I have."
Jiang Chen smiled helplessly, picked up the brush and tore off a piece of paper.
After writing a note, Jiang Chen put down his pen and handed the note to Gongsun Liang.
"Just take this note and go find Li Jiadong."
Upon seeing this, Gongsun Liang took the note with great joy on his face.
After bowing to Jiang Chen, he skipped away and said goodbye.
Looking at Gongsun Liang's departing back, Jiang Chen shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"Gongsun Liang is becoming an alcoholic day by day."
However, Gongsun Liang's love of drinking was also closely related to Jiang Chen.
If Jiang Chen hadn't come up with this purified highly distilled liquor.
It was impossible for Gongsun Liang to fall in love with this strong and flavorful wine.
After seeing Gongsun Liang off, Jiang Chen lowered his head and continued to handle government affairs.
After sitting at the desk for three hours in a row, Jiang Chen finally put down the brush in his hand.
Then, he slowly stretched.
"Finally I have finished dealing with these government affairs. Looks like I need to find another helper for internal affairs."
"Although Gongsun Liang knows a little about government affairs, he is a military advisor after all."
"It would be bad if his talent was delayed by government affairs."
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen asked someone to call Ban Cheng.
Since being accepted by Jiang Chen, Ban Cheng has been teaching in the school in Jibei City.
Now, this is the first time he has been summoned after serving under Jiang Chen for so long!
