Xiangyang, City Lord's Mansion!
“Jing ge, I have good news for you. After these few days of investigation, we have destroyed three secret contact points of the Yuan Dynasty and captured seventeen Yuan spies,” Huang Rong said.
“I didn't expect the Yuan Dynasty to have placed so many spies in Xiangyang City. If war breaks out, the consequences will be unimaginable. It's truly heaven's blessing for our Song Dynasty!”
Upon hearing Huang Rong's words, Guo Jing felt a chill run down his spine!
If war broke out, the destructive power of these Yuan spies within Xiangyang City would be deadly!
“Yes, especially some Yuan spies who have lived in the Song Dynasty for many years. This time, we have also found them out,” Huang Rong said.
“This time, Jiang Chen deserves the credit!”
Guo Jing said, “If it wasn’t for Jiang Chen finding out about the traitor Liang Tai, triggering an assassination attempt by the Yuan spies, we might not have realized that the Yuan Dynasty had placed so many spies in Xiangyang City.”
“Jing ge, Jiang Chen truly deserves the credit for this investigation into the Yuan spies. All seventeen Yuan spies were captured by Jiang Chen and his men.”
Huang Rong smiled faintly and said, “I wonder what the Yuan Dynasty will think if they knew that the spies they carefully placed have been eliminated?”
“It seems the Yuan Dynasty's next invasion is not far off!”
Guo Jing's expression became even more solemn, and he said, “Rong'er, don’t be careless. Make sure there are no loose ends!”
“I know, Jing ge! Besides ordering Jiang Chen to continue the investigation, I've also arranged for people to strictly check anyone entering and leaving the city,” Huang Rong said.
“With Jiang Chen’s abilities, being a mere guard captain is a waste of his talent!” Guo Jing said.
Guo Jing believed that no one else could have captured so many Yuan spies in such a short time.
“Jing ge, someone reported to me that Jiang Chen goes out of the city frequently. I don’t know what he's doing,” Huang Rong changed the subject.
“Rong'er, do you suspect Jiang Chen?” Guo Jing asked.
“That’s not it!”
Huang Rong quickly shook her head and said, “Jing ge, haven’t you noticed that Jiang Chen’s cultivation level is improving rapidly? A few days ago, he was only at the mid-stage of the Houtian Realm, but now he has reached the Xiantian Realm. I suspect he met a master outside the city who gave him guidance!”
“As long as Jiang Chen is of good character, meeting a master and getting guidance is his fortune! If I hadn’t met my Master back then, I, Guo Jing, wouldn’t be where I am today,” Guo Jing said.
Back then, it was because he met Hong Qigong who taught him the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, that he became the “hero of justice, a true hero” Guo Jing today.
Hearing Guo Jing’s words, Huang Rong nodded.
“By the way, Rong'er, how did your talks with the grain merchants go?” Guo Jing asked.
“Jing ge, I was just about to tell you! Yesterday, I met with several grain merchants in the city. Although they weren’t very willing, they also understood the principle of ‘if one falls, the other falls.’ They eventually agreed to lend us some grain,” Huang Rong said.
“That’s great!”
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Guo Jing’s face.
Of course, he knew that Huang Rong must have used a combination of threats and enticements to force the grain merchants to agree to lend them grain.
The issue of grain supply had been Guo Jing’s biggest worry!
Now that it was solved, it was like removing a heavy weight from his heart.
…
Yuan Dynasty!
Ruoyang Wangfu!
“Bang!”
After reading the carrier pigeon message, Zhao Min slammed her fist on the table and roared, “Useless! They’re truly a bunch of useless fools. They’re good for nothing but making a mess!”
“Min'er, why are you so angry?”
Ruoyang Wang walked in, seeing Zhao Min’s furious expression!
“Father, how come you’re here?”
Zhao Min handed the carrier pigeon message to Ruoyang Wang and said, “Father, the spies I placed in Xiangyang City were all captured. It was because of a minor guard captain named Jiang Chen in Xiangyang City Lord's Mansion.”
After reading the carrier pigeon message, Ruoyang Wang said, “Min’er, what are your plans now?”
Zhao Min pondered for a moment and said, “Father, I want to go to Xiangyang City personally?”
“You want to go to Xiangyang City?”
Hearing Zhao Min’s words, Ruoyang Wang immediately shook his head and said, “No, it’s too dangerous!”
“Father, I have the Xuan Ming Er Lao by my side. Nothing will happen to me,” Zhao Min said.
“No. Xiangyang City is full of experts. If your whereabouts are discovered, even with the Xuan Ming Er Lao by your side, it will be useless,” Ruoyang Wang still shook his head and said firmly.
Seeing Ruoyang Wang’s resolute attitude, Zhao Min could only give up!
…
Jiang Chen arrived at the courtyard he had purchased, only to find it empty. Qin Hongmian and Mu Wanqing were both gone.
These days, Jiang Chen had been busy capturing Yuan spies and hadn’t had time to come over.
In Mu Wanqing’s room, Jiang Chen found a letter she had left behind.
After reading the letter, Jiang Chen realized that Qin Hongmian had taken Mu Wanqing away from Xiangyang City, fearing that Jiang Chen might harm her.
“If fate brings us together again, we will meet again!”
Jiang Chen smiled faintly. He had no intention of chasing after Qin Hongmian and Mu Wanqing.
A forced melon isn’t sweet!
Jiang Chen believed that if fate brought them together again, they would meet again!
