The Great Sui Dynasty!
The Yuwen Mansion, training ground!
Yuwen Huaji stood with his hands behind his back, a chilling aura emanating from his body, causing the surrounding temperature to plummet, nearing freezing point.
“Brat, you ruined my good deed. I will tear you limb from limb!”
Yuwen Huaji's mind couldn't help but conjure up Jiang Chen's face. If not for him, the Everlasting Scripture would have been in his hands by now.
Thinking of this, Yuwen Huaji unleashed a palm strike, a freezing palm force slamming into a nearby scenic rock.
“Bang!”
The scenic rock exploded into dust.
“Still not coming out?” Yuwen Huaji roared.
At this moment, a cloaked figure appeared before Yuwen Huaji, trembling.
“This subordinate greets Lord Yuwen!” The cloaked figure knelt on one knee, fist clenched, and said.
“Have you found his identity?” Yuwen Huaji asked in a low voice.
“Reporting to Lord, the brat's name is Jiang Chen. He is the commander of the Xiangyang City Lord's guard.” The cloaked figure said.
“Jiang Chen? Commander of the Xiangyang City Lord's guard?”
Hearing this, Yuwen Huaji's face showed a hint of surprise.
“Yes, Lord! His father is named Jiang Zhong, an old subordinate of Guo Jing. During the last Yuan invasion of Xiangyang City, he died a heroic death, so Guo Jing appointed him as the deputy commander of the Xiangyang City Lord's guard. Recently, he was promoted to commander.” The cloaked figure said.
“As I expected, but involving the Xiangyang City Lord's Mansion makes things tricky!”
Yuwen Huaji knew that someone as young as Jiang Chen, with such formidable strength, couldn't be just an ordinary person. However, he had not expected him to be someone close to Guo Jing.
After all, involving Xiangyang City Lord Guo Jing, dealing with Jiang Chen wouldn’t be easy.
“What about Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling? Where did Jiang Chen place them? Are they also in the Xiangyang City Lord's Mansion?” Yuwen Huaji asked.
The cloaked figure shook his head and said, “Reporting to Lord, they are not in the Xiangyang City Lord's Mansion. This subordinate also did not find their whereabouts in Xiangyang City.”
“Not in Xiangyang City?”
Yuwen Huaji furrowed his brows and said, “Where did this Jiang Chen hide them?”
“Currently, no leads have been found.”
The cloaked figure said, “Lord, what should we do next?”
“Keep an eye on Jiang Chen, find Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling's whereabouts, and report to me immediately!” Yuwen Huaji instructed.
“Yes, this subordinate will take his leave!”
The cloaked figure bowed to Yuwen Huaji and then retreated!
“Everlasting Scripture, I must have it!”
Yuwen Huaji gazed in the direction of Xiangyang, muttering, a sinister killing intent flashing in his eyes!
……
The Xiangyang City Lord's Mansion, the meeting hall!
“This subordinate, Jiang Chen, greets Madam!”
Jiang Chen entered the meeting hall and found that Huang Rong was already waiting for him, so he hurriedly bowed and said.
“Jiang Chen, you needn't be so polite. Take a seat!”
Seeing Jiang Chen, Huang Rong recalled the intimate contact they had that day, her face slightly flushed.
“Thank you, Madam!”
Looking at Huang Rong’s appearance, Jiang Chen secretly smiled, his mind conjuring up the scene of Huang Rong bathing!
“Jiang Chen, your performance has been excellent recently. It seems I didn't choose wrong!” Huang Rong said.
“Thank you for the praise, Madam. This is what this subordinate should do.”
Jiang Chen not only managed the City Guard in an orderly manner, but also apprehended more than a dozen Yuan spies, eliminating three secret contact points of Yuan spies.
For a time, Jiang Chen's reputation in the Xiangyang City Lord's Mansion also saw a significant rise.
“Jiang Chen, my daughter, Fu'er, often goes to you. She also listens to you more. Have some time to help me take care of her. Don't let her cause trouble outside!” Huang Rong said.
“Madam, Miss is always gentle and obedient. She hasn't caused any trouble.” Jiang Chen said.
“Do I not know whether she has caused trouble? Didn’t she smash a restaurant yesterday?” Huang Rong asked.
“Madam, that restaurant was at fault. It's not Miss's fault. If it were anyone else, they would probably be angry too!”
Hearing Huang Rong's words, Jiang Chen knew that Huang Rong had already learned about Guo Fu's smashing of the restaurant yesterday!
“Jiang Chen, you don't need to defend her. I know the whole story!”
Huang Rong waved her hand and said, “This girl has a bad temper and was spoiled by her father. You have more time to discipline her.”
“Yes, Madam!” Jiang Chen said.
Huang Rong nodded slightly and said, “Besides, I have something important to entrust you with!”
“Please give your orders, Madam!” Jiang Chen said.
“I have a very important letter that needs to be sent to Dali. Guo City Lord and I have decided to have you take the letter to Dali! Remember, you must hand it to Emperor Baoding Duan Zhengming personally.” Huang Rong instructed.
“Please rest assured, Madam. Jiang Chen will not fail you!” Jiang Chen said.
“Go back now and arrange the City Guard's affairs, then pack a few things, and set off early tomorrow morning. Deliver the letter as soon as possible!” Huang Rong said.
“Yes, I will arrange it now!” Jiang Chen said.
“After you deliver the letter, you can rest in Dali for a few days. The scenery there is nice!” Huang Rong said.
“Thank you, Madam!”
Jiang Chen bowed to Huang Rong, then left the meeting hall.
