Chapter 301: "Old Friends" Reunion
After drinking a pot of hot tea in the teahouse, Jiang Chen brought Su Qingcheng and several personal guards back to the compound.
At this time, the person in charge of the "ant nest" had been waiting here for a long time.
Seeing Jiang Chen coming back, the person in charge of the "Ant Nest" in Shilin County hurriedly stepped forward and saluted.
"My Lord, I have something important to report to you."
Hearing that the other party had something important to report, Jiang Chen waved his hand.
Upon seeing this, Su Qingcheng and several guards bowed to Jiang Chen and then left.
After the few people left, Jiang Chen spoke to the 21st worker ant.
"If you have anything to say, you can tell me now."
"My Lord, we have found some clues about the Ming Cult."
As he spoke, the worker ant number 21 took out a letter of information from his bosom and handed it to Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen suppressed his excitement, took the document and started reading it.
After a long time, Jiang Chen put away the documents in his hand and closed his eyes.
"In that case, it seems that I have to go to the capital of Northern Ming as soon as possible."
According to the intelligence in Jiang Chen's hand, the Northern Ming Emperor Zhu Qiyu learned the news that Xianghong County was breached.
He immediately issued an edict, calling on martial arts masters from all over the world to gather together.
He wants to rely on his martial arts masters with great skills to deal with Jiang Chen’s northern army!
This time, in order to attract martial arts masters from all over the world, Zhu Qiyu actually took out a Bodhi seed!
He also announced that a martial arts conference would be held this time.
That Bodhi seed will be the reward for the first place in this martial arts competition!
"It's really like searching for something without any effort, but it's easy to find..."
"I didn't expect that the Northern Ming and Ming Kingdom are actually the descendants of the Ming Cult."
After expressing his feelings for a while, Jiang Chen said to worker ant No. 21.
"Go and prepare a new carriage immediately. I will rush to the capital of Northern Ming tomorrow."
"Yes, my lord, I will prepare it now!"
After receiving Jiang Chen's order, worker ant No. 21 retreated in a hurry.
Just like that, after a day of rest in Shilin County.
Jiang Chen and his group changed into a carriage and set of attire and left Shilin County.
Continue heading north, heading towards the capital of Northern Ming.
After walking for a while, Jiang Chen and his group were preparing to take a rest.
Just then, a burst of shouting and killing came from not far ahead.
Hearing the sudden shouts and screams, Li Yuanyi and his bodyguards quickly drew their swords.
"You stay here to protect the young master, and the rest of you follow me!"
Li Yuanyi and several skilled guards quickly reached the front.
I saw a group of bandits surrounding a group of merchants and attacking them.
The two sides fought in a group, and in the center of the battle.
A middle-aged man was protecting a young man in white shirt and was retreating backwards.
Seeing this, Li Yuanyi quickly turned around and returned to Jiang Chen.
After listening to Li Yuanyi's report, Jiang Chen smiled slightly.
It turned out that this group of merchants was none other than Bai Ze and Wang Guoan.
As the prime minister, Bai Ze has great power in the Northern Ming Dynasty.
But there are also people who don't want to see this prime minister return to the capital of Northern Ming alive.
Hence, there were attacks and looting along the way.
Bai Ze originally thought that he could avoid these attacks by pretending to be a businessman, but he underestimated the determination of the people behind the scenes to get rid of him.
Based on the principle of "it is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let a hundred go".
These killers disguised as bandits have attacked countless business travelers.
Now, they finally waited for Bai Ze and his group.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen said to Li Yuanyi.
"Take your men to rescue Bai Ze and his group immediately. Now is not the time for him to die."
After hearing Jiang Chen's order, Li Yuanyi immediately led dozens of guards to fight back.
Wang Guoan, who was fighting, was a little surprised when he saw the reinforcements suddenly appearing.
But in order to protect Bai Ze's safety, he could only choose to put it aside temporarily.
With the addition of Li Yuanyi and others, Wang Guoan and his team quickly eliminated all the killers.
Under the protection of Wang Guoan, Bai Ze came to Li Yuanyi.
"My name is Bai Xingzhen. Thank you for saving me."
"May I ask, brave man, where are you from?"
After thanking Li Yuanyi, Bai Ze asked curiously.
In response to Bai Ze's question, Li Yuanyi replied indifferently.
"I only came to help under the order of my master."
"If you want to thank someone, go thank my young master!"
After hearing Li Yuanyi's answer, Bai Ze became even more curious.
Just when Bai Ze was full of curiosity, Jiang Chen had already arrived in front of everyone in a carriage.
"Sir, all the bandits have been killed."
Seeing Jiang Chen's carriage approaching, Li Yuanyi hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.
"Well, you did a good job. These murderous bandits deserve to die."
Jiang Chen's voice slowly floated out of the carriage and reached the ears of Bai Ze and others.
Driven by their inner curiosity, Bai Ze and Wang Guoan looked at each other.
Then, Bai Ze walked forward and bowed to Jiang Chen in the carriage.
"I am Bai Xingzhen, and I have come to thank you for your help."
"May I ask your name, sir, so that I can repay you in the future."
After listening to Bai Ze's thanks, Jiang Chen slowly lifted the curtain of the carriage and walked out.
Looking at Jiang Chen, who is about the same age as him, Bai Ze's curiosity grew even stronger.
"I am the young master of Yunwu Mountain Villa. I came to Beiming to participate in the martial arts event."
"As for taking action, when you are in the martial arts world, you will always encounter some troubles."
"It's just a trivial matter, Brother Bai, don't worry about it."
Jiang Chen said this while smiling and bowing to Bai Ze.
Upon hearing that Jiang Chen was the young master of Yunwu Villa, Bai Ze was immediately delighted.
"Are you from Yunwu Villa?!"
"May I ask, brother, is the old master still in good health?"
Although Yunwu Villa is located in the northern border, the Bai family is an old friend.
Bai Ze's father and the old owner of Yunwu Villa once traveled together in the martial arts world.
Jiang Chen, who was disguised as the young master of Yunwu Villa, was naturally very clear about this.
"My father has been in good health in recent years. I wonder why Brother Bai asked about him?"
Although he knew in his heart the relationship between the Bai family and Yunwu Villa.
But Jiang Chen still pretended to be confused and asked Bai Ze.
After getting a positive answer, Bai Ze excitedly grabbed Jiang Chen's hand.
"Brother Wen Yao, I am Bai Ze!"
After confirming Jiang Chen's "identity", Bai Ze said his real name with a look of joy.
"Are you Bai Ze?!"
"Your father is Uncle Bai Tongfu!?"
As Jiang Chen revealed the real name of Bai Ze's father, Bai Ze became more certain of Jiang Chen's identity.
"That's right, hahaha, Brother Wen Yao."
"We haven't seen each other since we were six years old. I didn't expect to meet here today!"
Looking at the "reunited" Jiang Chen and Bai Ze, Wang Guoan on the side had a flash of doubt in his eyes.
