Chapter 274: Duke Jiang Receives an Imperial Order
Looking at the handkerchief taken out by Princess Cangtong, Jiang Chen raised his head with some confusion.
While he was puzzled by Princess Cangtong's actions.
Princess Cangtong tied the handkerchief directly around Jiang Chen's wrist.
After making sure the handkerchief was tied tightly, Princess Cangtong turned around and ran out of the house with a red face.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen became even more confused.
Confused, he turned to look at the Swift Wolf Guards standing beside him.
Seeing Jiang Chen's confusion, Hadan Bater, the leader of the Swift Wolf Guard, explained with a smile.
"Duke Jiang, this is a custom in our Canglang Country."
"In our Canglang Country, when a girl falls in love with a man she likes."
"Then they would tie the handkerchief they carry with them on the other person's hand."
"If the man doesn't refuse, then he agrees to the girl's wishes."
Hearing this, Jiang Chen was stunned!
He didn't do anything, but he got another wife out of nowhere! ?
Faced with such a good thing that fell from the sky, Jiang Chen was unable to recover for a long time.
After calming himself down, Jiang Chen started talking about business with Hadan.
After some communication, Jiang Chen understood Princess Cangtong's intention.
This princess went through life and death dangers all the way and escaped from the border of Canglang Kingdom to the northern border.
The only thing I want to do at this moment is to successfully marry Jiang Chen!
After hearing the news, Jiang Chen didn't know what to say for a moment.
After a moment of silence, Jiang Chen raised his head and spoke to Hadan.
"Let's put this matter aside for now..."
"Just stay here now!"
"I will have someone send you some money."
After saying that, Jiang Chen stood up and prepared to leave.
Seeing that Jiang Chen was about to leave, Hadan could only smile and nodded.
"Thank you, Duke Jiang. I'll take you out."
With Hadan's farewell, Jiang Chen left the courtyard.
After hearing Jiang Chen leave, Princess Cangtong came out.
At this moment, the previous peacefulness on her face had disappeared, and her whole person had returned to its cold look.
"Hadan, did he say anything!?"
Princess Cangtong asked Hadan coldly.
"My lord, Duke Jiang didn't say anything, he just told us to stay here without worry."
After Hadan bowed to Princess Cangtong, he answered slowly.
After hearing Hadan's answer, Princess Cangtong nodded.
…
At the same time Jiang Chen left the courtyard, the capital of Xia Kingdom also received news of the failed assassination.
Looking at the information in his hand, Yu Anmin frowned and asked King Huai'an beside him.
"Brother, why didn't you discuss this with me in advance!?"
"If you do this, Jiang Chen will be angry!"
Yu Anmin, who was worried that the Xia Kingdom would once again be plunged into civil unrest, roared.
Facing the furious Yu Anmin, King Huai'an said calmly.
"Your Majesty, if we don't get rid of Jiang Chen, he will become a serious threat to us sooner or later!"
"This person is very ambitious and is not one to settle for mediocrity."
King Huai'an spoke to Yu Anmin, trying his best to change Yu Anmin's mind.
He will never forget every time he and Jiang Chen met.
Deep in Jiang Chen's eyes lies a great ambition.
"A golden fish is not something that lives in a pond. Once it encounters the spring breeze, it will turn into a dragon."
"Brother, I know this truth, but Xia Country..."
"We really can't stand any more civil unrest!"
Yu Anmin frowned and said to King Huai'an beside him.
As a qualified emperor, he understood what Prince Huai'an meant.
He knew Jiang Chen's ambition better than anyone else.
But he also knew one thing, Jiang Chen had the strength to match his ambition!
After hearing what Yu Anmin said, King Huai'an sighed helplessly.
"Your Majesty, I am tired. I don't know..."
"I don't know if I can still accompany you to see the future of Xia Country..."
"I am willing to shed my last drop of blood for the future of Xia Country."
As he spoke, Prince Huai'an, whose temples already had some gray hair, stood up.
He walked in front of Yu Anmin and slowly knelt down.
"Your Majesty, this subject is Yu Huaian!"
"I am willing to resign the throne of Regent and King of Huai'an and head to the Northern Frontier."
"Bring the troops from the northern border to eliminate the last hidden danger for Daxia!"
As King Huai'an finished speaking, Yu Anmin widened his eyes.
"Brother, you..."
"Do you really want to do this?!"
In response to Yu Anmin's question, King Huai'an knocked his head heavily to the ground.
Yu Anmin frowned, realizing that King Huai'an had made up his mind.
"Brother, I'm afraid I have to say sorry."
"I will not agree to your request."
"I am the emperor of Daxia and must be responsible for the safety of the people."
"Someone, bring Prince Huai'an back to the palace!"
"Let him out when he has thought it through."
Following Yu Anmin's order, two palace guards in golden armor walked in.
Upon hearing Yu Anmin's decision, King Huai'an did not struggle.
Just like that, two palace guards helped Prince Huai'an up, one on the left and one on the right, and took him out.
After King Huai'an was taken away, Yu Anmin rubbed his head.
"Eunuch Su, do you think that I..."
“Isn’t that too arbitrary?”
Hearing Yu Anmin's question, Su Dingxia slowly walked out of the darkness.
" Your Majesty, you are not wrong."
"As the monarch of Daxia, everything you did was correct."
"But Prince Huai'an is not wrong either."
"You and Prince Huai'an are both working for the betterment of Daxia."
After Su Dingxia's comfort, Yu Anmin gradually calmed down.
"Eunuch Su."
"The old slave is here!"
"Pass the order down, remove Jiang Chen from his title of Duke and confer him the title of Marquis of Dingbei!"
"Even if it is, give him a warning..."
After careful consideration, Yu Anmin decided to warn Jiang Chen.
"I accept your order."
Su Dingxia quickly bowed and accepted the order, then turned and walked out of the hall.
After Su Dingxia left, Yu Anmin collapsed on the dragon throne exhausted.
Stroking the dragon throne beneath him, Yu Anmin closed his eyes.
Now that he has become a wanderer among the people, he finally feels a deep sense of powerlessness.
He once thought that as long as he could make his people live a good life, he would be a good monarch.
But he only found out now!
To be a good monarch, he needs to do a lot more...
As Yu Anmin's order reached Jibei City, Jiang Chen met with the eunuch who came to convey the order.
The eunuch who was sent to deliver the imperial edict to Jiang Chen was Jiang Chen's "old boss".
The trembling old eunuch looked at Jiang Chen and said with some fear.
"Marquis, no, Duke, Duke Jiang."
"Please accept the order first, otherwise it will be difficult for our family to explain."
After hearing the old eunuch's words, Jiang Chen finally opened his eyes.
