Chapter 415: Leaving Jiangnan, Xue Linglong Returns
"My Lord! This is His Majesty's precious sword! Please keep it safe!"
After reading the imperial edict, the commander of the Imperial Guard took out a golden sword and handed it to Jiang Chen!
Jiang Chen took it with both hands. He took a closer look and found that the scabbard of this sword... was actually made of gold!
His Majesty the Emperor of Dajing is truly luxurious!
Jiang Chen couldn't hold back and drew out his sword!
"Uh-huh!"
In an instant, a cold light flashed!
Jiang Chen was extremely shocked when he saw this cold light!
He also has blacksmith skills!
He could tell at a glance that this sword was extraordinary!
This is a magical weapon that can cut through iron like mud!
The material used for this casting must be extraordinary!
"Greetings to the Marquis!"
"Greetings to the Marquis!"
When the commander of the imperial guards saw Jiang Chen draw out his sword, he knelt on the ground respectfully!
The guards behind him also knelt in front of Jiang Chen!
"There's no need for you to do this, please stand up quickly!"
"I will need your help in the future!"
Jiang Chen hurriedly helped the commander of the Imperial Guard up!
"My Lord, from today on, these guards will be at your disposal!"
The commander of the Imperial Guards said respectfully to Jiang Chen.
"haha okay!"
Jiang Chen nodded, then asked the commander of the Imperial Guards, "What's your name?"
"Your Majesty, I am Han Peng!" the commander of the Imperial Guard said respectfully.
"Okay, then I will call you Commander Han from now on!"
"Commander Han, you take the brothers to rest for a day. I'll take care of the food and drinks. Tomorrow morning, we'll go to Jiangnan together!"
Jiang Chen said generously.
"Thank you, Lord Marquis!"
Han Peng was extremely excited when he heard Jiang Chen's words!
This Lord Jiang is really good!
Before he met Jiang Chen, he always felt that Jiang Chen must be arrogant and domineering because he became famous at a young age!
But now it seems... this Jiang Chen is truly extraordinary!
……
After arranging the royal guards, Jiang Chen returned to the manor and said goodbye to the ladies.
Farewell details omitted here...
At night, Jiang Chen sat in the pavilion in the yard.
The journey to Jiangnan is bound to be full of dangers!
This is indeed a test for him, and I don’t know... whether he can pass this test successfully!
"Hehe, Lord, you haven't rested yet?"
An old but powerful voice came from behind Jiang Chen.
"Mr. Yuan!"
When Jiang Chen saw the person coming, he quickly stood up and invited the other person to sit down.
Yuan Chunfeng smiled and sat on the bench opposite Jiang Chen.
"Mr. Yuan, why aren't you resting so late?" Jiang Chen looked at Yuan Chunfeng and asked puzzledly.
"When you get older, you sleep less."
Yuan Chunfeng smiled and said, "My Lord, I want to go to Jiangnan with you this time. I wonder if you can agree!"
"Mr. Yuan is going to Jiangnan too!?"
"Of course I agreed!"
Jiang Chen was extremely excited!
This Yuan Chunfeng is so mysterious!
If we bring him along, it will definitely be of great use!
"Haha, thank you very much, my Lord!"
"Don't worry, my Lord. I will change my clothes and hide among your guards. I won't cause you any trouble!"
Yuan Chunfeng smiled and then left.
Jiang Chen looked at Yuan Chunfeng's leaving back and felt extremely excited!
With Yuan Chunfeng following us, this time, things will be a sure win!
Jiang Chen felt much more at ease.
The next morning, Jiang Chen left under the escort of everyone.
This time, in addition to two thousand imperial guards, Jiang Chen also brought a hundred personal guards!
The leader of these personal guards is none other than Xu Meng!
……
Two days after Jiang Chen left Luzhou County, Xue Linglong returned to Luzhou County.
"Father……"
Xue Linglong returned to the gate of the Xue family mansion and began to cry bitterly.
At this time, Xue Wenyan's body had already been transported to the capital.
Even the Xue family mansion was sealed by the imperial court!
"Miss! You...you are finally back!"
When the housekeeper saw Xue Linglong, he hurried out!
"Butler!? You...you're still alive!?"
Xue Linglong was delighted when she saw the housekeeper!
"Miss, I was lucky to escape!"
"Come with me, I have something for you!"
The housekeeper spoke cautiously, and then took Xue Linglong to the courtyard where he was "hiding"!
"Miss, before the master got into trouble, he asked me to transfer all his property here!"
"He told the slave to give these things to the young lady!"
"At the same time, there is another message!"
"What message!?"
Xue Linglong asked hurriedly.
"Miss, the master said that he deserved to die. It was because he was bewildered and colluded with the Holy Mother Church that the consequences came about!"
"He asked me to tell the young lady not to avenge him and to live a good life in the future!"
"He...he asked you to follow Lord Jiang, saying that Lord Jiang would definitely protect you!"
The butler said with a sad face.
"Father……"
When Xue Linglong heard these words, she couldn't stop crying!
She didn't expect that her father would ask her to take care of herself before he died!
This...maybe this is fatherly love!
But if Xue Linglong knew the true content of Xue Wenyan’s letter, I wonder... what she would feel like!
But unfortunately, she will never know.
Because that letter had been burned by Jiang Chen.
……
Three days later, Jiang Chen led the imperial guards and left Luzhou County.
As soon as they left Luzhou County, Jiang Chen and his companions saw countless people fleeing!
"Alas, compared to Luzhou County, the people in other places are suffering!"
Jiang Chen looked at the people and shook his head helplessly.
"My Lord, if Luzhou County didn't have you, I'm afraid it would have ended up like this!"
"The people of Luzhou County are all grateful to you!"
Xu Meng couldn't bear to see those people.
He knew that if there was no Jiang Chen in Luzhou County, it would probably be no different from these common people!
"Alas, what I can do is just a drop in the bucket!"
"It's just Luzhou County."
"But this world..."
Jiang Chen sighed helplessly.
Now, he finally understood what Mu Qingqing said.
He...can indeed save more people!
In the future, he will save more people!
"My Lord, Luzhou County... is all your masterpiece?" Han Peng was shocked when he heard the conversation between Jiang Chen and Xu Meng!
The situation in Luzhou County is indeed much better than in other counties!
Unexpectedly, it was Jiang Chen’s credit!
No wonder His Majesty values Lord Jiang so much!
"Haha, it's just a trivial contribution." Jiang Chen smiled and shook his head, without saying anything more about it.
Those water trucks and water pumps.
It didn't have much effect, otherwise... the situation in these states and counties would definitely be much better than it is now!
This made Jiang Chen realize that he was still not strong enough!
"My Lord is truly a man of talent!"
Han Peng looked at Jiang Chen with envy!
Lord Jiang is truly a talented person!
Seeing Han Peng's look, Xu Meng couldn't help but laugh and said, "Haha, my Lord Hou is very powerful, there is more to it than that!"
"You'll know when you get in touch with it later!"
