Chapter 459 Guard Zhang 3
"Ok?"
When Jiang Chen heard Emperor Dajing's words, he immediately became nervous!
Why does Emperor Dajing like to play with intonation? ?
"Lord Jiang, I have decided to confer upon you the title of Marquis of Jinchuan County. At the same time... I have also appointed you as an envoy to negotiate with the grasslands at the border!"
"You should also know that now that the grassland and Dakang have joined forces, if we don't handle it properly, it may affect the safety of Dajing!"
"So, this important task is left to you!"
"As long as you complete this task, I will reward you handsomely!"
Emperor Dajing said this with an ambiguous smile.
He has already sent people to investigate the beauties in the capital.
At that time, Jiang Chen can be arranged to marry two people. Wouldn’t he be overjoyed?
"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty! I will work hard this time when I go to the grassland! I will not let Your Majesty down!" Jiang Chen heard the words of Emperor Dajing and bowed respectfully to accept the order.
Although I have known the news for a long time, it feels different now that Emperor Dajing said it himself!
This can be considered as... a promotion for him, right?
But going to the grassland is a chore!
"Haha, Lord Jiang, I believe in your ability!"
"Come on, I just have something to ask you!"
"This birthday peach..."
Emperor Dajing brought Jiang Chen to the longevity peaches and discussed how to make them.
In Jiang Chen's opinion, the Emperor of Dajing cares more about carpentry skills than the Dajing court!
No wonder Mu Qingqing supported his rebellion...
Jiang Chen stayed in the palace until the afternoon before leaving.
It was he who later took out the wooden Huarong Road and presented it to Emperor Dajing.
The emperor let him go only after he got a new toy.
Otherwise, it would be good enough for Jiang Chen to be able to leave the palace before dark!
……
As Jiang Chen left the palace, news of Emperor Dajing's reward to Jiang Chen also spread!
Marquis of Jinchuan County!
This title is neither big nor small.
The most important point is that he has a fiefdom!
Even higher than Marquis Jian'an!
This is bound to cause discussion among officials in the court!
Especially the civil officials under Cai Jing!
Their lifelong dream is to become a marquis!
But in Dajing, only military merit can lead to the title of nobility!
Therefore, their feelings towards Jiang Chen are more than just envy, jealousy and hatred!
"Prime Minister! You are finally here!"
"Prime Minister! Jiang Chen has been promoted to a higher rank!"
"Prime Minister, if this continues, Jiang Chen will become a serious threat to us!"
"Prime Minister, you have to think of a solution!"
When everyone saw Cai Jing coming back, they hurriedly swarmed around him.
"Haha, everyone, don't worry. Jiang Chen... won't be around for a few more days!"
Cai Jing laughed coldly.
"this……!?"
The officials were shocked when they heard this!
"Prime Minister, what do you mean?"
"Haha, don't you know yet? His Majesty has sent Jiang Chen to the grassland as an envoy!"
"Do you think the people of the grassland can let Jiang Chen leave the grassland alive? "
"You must remember that Jiang Chen...took away three cities on the grassland!"
When Cai Jing said this, his eyes were filled with cruelty!
"Prime Minister is wise!"
"It turns out that the Prime Minister already had a solution!"
"Hahaha! The Prime Minister is still far-sighted!"
"Not bad!"
After hearing what Cai Jing said, everyone started to flatter him.
Cai Jing was also very pleased to hear what these people said!
……
However, Cai Jing suddenly said: "By the way, in addition to these things, I also heard a piece of news that is useful to us!"
"Huh!? What's the news?"
Everyone looked at Cai Jing hurriedly.
"According to the news from the palace, His Majesty is searching for beauties everywhere!"
"You say... Is this good news for us?"
"If I could obtain a beautiful woman to present to His Majesty..."
Cai Jing smiled sinisterly.
The other officials were also extremely excited!
They all have daughters in their family.
If they could enter the palace and become concubines, it would be a great joy for them!
"Thank you for telling me, Lord!"
"We'll get ready when we get back!"
"That's right!"
Everyone hurried home to prepare the beauties.
Cai Jing also sent his men to investigate news about beauties all over the world!
If he could place more pawns in the harem, then the Emperor Dajing would be even less able to escape his control!
The more Cai Jing thought about it, the more excited he became!
I just don’t know what Cai Jing will think when he finds out that this is the beauty that Emperor Dajing found for Jiang Chen!
On the other side, after Jiang Chen returned to the house, Xu Meng was standing in the yard with a man in shorts.
The man was not tall, about 1.75 meters, and his exposed arms and skin were very dark.
Although Jiang Chen only saw the other person's back, he could tell at a glance that this person was full of vulgar atmosphere!
How could such a person... appear in his house?
"I've met the Marquis!"
At this moment, Xu Meng saw Jiang Chen and hurriedly saluted Jiang Chen with his fists clasped!
When the man heard Xu Meng's words, he turned around calmly and glanced at Jiang Chen.
……
The other person's scrutinizing eyes seemed like someone selecting a girl in a brothel.
This made Jiang Chen feel very uncomfortable!
"Brother Xu, who is this?"
Jiang Chen asked Xu Meng.
"Your Majesty! This person is sent by General Luo to protect you!" Xu Meng said respectfully.
"This is... General Luo's personal guard?"
Jiang Chen was stunned!
Where are the elite troops?
Why does it look so vulgar?!
"My Lord, you are polite. I am Zhang San, the former captain of the personal guard under the general!"
"Now, I work as a guard in the general's house."
"I already know the general's order. Please rest assured, my lord. I, Zhang San, will ensure that you reach the grassland safely!"
Zhang San said to Jiang Chen with a calm expression.
He acted as if he was talking about something insignificant!
This made Jiang Chen even more uncertain!
Is this Zhang San okay?
However, due to General Luo's face, Jiang Chen still said politely: "Brother Zhang San, thank you very much!"
"We will set out early tomorrow morning. I have five hundred taels of silver here. Go back and prepare some dry food for the brothers."
Jiang Chen took out a silver note of five hundred taels and handed it to Zhang San.
"Thank you, Lord Marquis!"
When Zhang San saw the banknotes in Jiang Chen's hand, he loved it more than anything else!
He reached out to take the banknote, then left without looking back!
"This……"
Jiang Chen stayed where he was, looking extremely messy.
"Brother Xu, do you think this Zhang San... can do it?"
"No, should we mobilize some guards over here?" Jiang Chen asked somewhat worriedly.
"My lord, there is no need to do this. Even if there is no Zhang San, we have fifty guards who can definitely protect you and ensure you reach the grassland safely!" Xu Meng said respectfully.
"I know that, but... but with this Zhang San, I feel like... we have become a burden!"
