Chapter 572 Leaving Cai Jing
"this……!?"
When Han Peng heard Jiang Chen's words, his face changed drastically!
Yup!
Those soldiers are Cai Jing's men, and they may have been infected with the plague. If they go back to the capital, then... then they may infect the people in the capital, and even the people in the counties along the way!
This……
When Han Peng thought of this, his face changed drastically!
"My Lord, what are you going to do?!"
Han Peng looked at Jiang Chen nervously.
"call!"
Jiang Chen let out a long breath and said, "My idea is so simple, that is to let Cai Jing stay around and stay where he is!
"Wait until the plague is completely resolved before letting him go back!"
At first, Jiang Chen wanted Cai Jing to leave and return to the capital.
But after thinking about it along the way, Jiang Chen changed his mind!
That Cai Jing... is very likely carrying the plague now, so... we must not let him leave!
Soon, Jiang Chen brought Han Peng and others to Cai Jing’s station!
"What!? Jiang Chen is here!?"
Cai Jing was extremely surprised when he heard Jiang Chen coming!
He rushed out and came to the door to greet them!
"Lord Jiang! You are finally here! I have been waiting for you for a long time!"
Cai Jing looked enthusiastic when he saw Jiang Chen!
Seeing Cai Jing like this, Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Hahaha, thank you so much, Master Cai!"
"I don't know. What is the situation in Guanzhong now?"
When Cai Jing heard this, his face instantly turned ugly!
Because during the few days when he was waiting for Jiang Chen, the people of Zhengzhou County began to riot again and attacked them!
A lot of people were killed and injured before they stopped those people!
"Lord Jiang! The situation in Guanzhong..."
Cai Jing did not hide anything, but told the situation in Guanzhong in detail.
……
"Guanzhong is so dangerous, Lord Cai has worked so hard!"
After Jiang Chen heard what Cai Jing said, he said with a smile on his face.
"Alas! Lord Jiang, you are too serious!"
"It's all for your majesty and for the people!"
"It's not hard work!"
"Besides, now that Lord Jiang is here, we can go back to the capital!"
"From now on, you will be the one who has to work hard!"
Cai Jing pretended to be emotional, but he was actually very happy in his heart.
He has wanted to leave for a long time!
Now, finally someone can leave!
But, the next second, Cai Jing's face turned ugly!
"Lord Cai, I'm afraid you can't return to Beijing for the time being!" Jiang Chen said in a deep voice.
"What!?"
When Cai Jing and his men heard this, they were all dumbfounded!
They were all looking forward to Jiang Chen's arrival before they left!
Now, Jiang Chen won’t let them go!
What does this mean!?
"Lord Jiang, what do you mean!?"
Cai Jing looked at Jiang Chen with a gloomy expression!
"Master Cai, please don't misunderstand me. I'm not letting you leave because it's for your own good!"
"I guess someone in Lord Cai's camp has been infected with the plague?" Jiang Chen said calmly.
"So what?" Cai Jing asked coldly.
"Haha, Lord Cai, your people have been infected with the plague. Although you haven't been infected with the plague, you are also carrying the plague!"
"If you leave Guanzhong, go all the way back to the capital."
"Didn't you spread the plague to every county along the way?"
"If you bring the plague back to the capital, then... what will be the consequences?" Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"This……"
Cai Jing and his men were all stunned when they heard this.
What Jiang Chen said makes so much sense!
If they bring the plague back to the capital, I guess...Emperor Dajing will kill them first!
……
"So, what do you want us to do?"
"Stay here and obey your orders?" Cai Jing asked with a gloomy face.
"Hahaha, what are you talking about, Master Cai!?"
"I would never dare to have such an idea!"
Jiang Chen laughed loudly, and then said: "I wish I could ask Master Cai to retreat to Taozhou County!"
"And I'm going to Zhengzhou County!"
"When the plague in Guanzhong is over, the credit for suppressing the plague will be shared equally between you and me. What do you think, Lord Cai?"
"Ok?"
When Cai Jing heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up!
He doesn't have to do anything and still gets credit!
Moreover, Taozhou County is not as dangerous as Zhengzhou County!
This deal is worth it no matter how you look at it!
"Okay! I agree!"
"I will retreat to Taozhou County now!"
Cai Jing nodded in agreement.
But Jiang Chen said, "Master Cai, I have to trouble you to stay here for a few more days. After all, my main force has not arrived yet."
"And the people in Zhengzhou County cannot go out, so..."
Jiang Chen did not continue speaking.
However, Cai Jing already understood what Jiang Chen meant!
"Okay, I'll give Lord Jiang this face!"
"Thank you very much, Master Cai!"
Jiang Chen thanked him with a smile on his face.
After expressing his gratitude, Jiang Chen left Cai Jing's tent and headed towards Zhengzhou County.
"Prime Minister, are we...really not leaving?!"
Cai Jing's subordinates looked at Cai Jing with concern.
They don't want to stay here!
"Haha, whoever of you wants to leave can go by yourself!"
"But if the plague spreads to other places and His Majesty wants to kill all nine of your clans, don't come looking for me!"
Cai Jing laughed coldly.
……
"This……"
When Cai Jing's men heard this, none of them dared to speak anymore.
Kill the nine tribes?
They don’t want to!
When Cai Jing saw that everyone was behaving himself, he snorted coldly and walked back to his tent!
At the same time, Jiang Chen and Han Peng had already headed towards Zhengzhou County.
"My Lord, why did you agree to give half of the credit to Cai Jing?"
"He...he clearly didn't do anything?"
On the way, Han Peng looked at Jiang Chen with a puzzled look.
"Hehe, I know he didn't do anything."
"But if you don't give him credit, how can he be obedient?"
"Compared to the millions of people in Zhengzhou County, those achievements are nothing!"
Jiang Chen said with a nonchalant look on his face.
"this……!?"
Han Peng was shocked!
He has been in the court for many years and has seen many officials of all kinds!
But this is the first time I have seen someone like Jiang Chen who is not greedy for credit!
Lord Jiang, you are indeed different!
Soon, the city of Zhengzhou County appeared in front of everyone!
As everyone saw the city of Zhengzhou County, the people of Zhengzhou County also saw Jiang Chen and his group!
"The court's lackeys are here!"
"Kill them!"
Everyone roared and rushed out!
But suddenly someone realized something was wrong!
"Don't be impulsive! Look at their flag!"
"River!?"
"Could it be that Lord Jiang has come to save us!?"
"I heard that the prescription that prevents people from contracting the plague seemed to be made by Lord Jiang!"
"Not only that, the drought in Jiangnan was also solved by Lord Jiang!"
"It is said that Lord Jiang can call the wind and rain, he is a god descended to earth!"
