Chapter 205: The Tired Butler Jiang

Not only that, the refugees who had just heard that Lu Chenyang had arrived also ran out to watch the excitement. In addition to the refugees, there were also people from Ningzhou.

They had never seen Lu Chenyang, but they all knew the Lu family army.

For the people of Ningzhou, the Lu Family Army helped them resist the attack of the Yilin Army, saved their homes, and prevented them from being displaced. Especially when they saw the refugees fleeing, their gratitude to the Lu Family Army and Lu Chenyang reached its peak.

They were almost, almost, becoming refugees. If they were to leave their homes, how would they survive? Would there be another Lu Chenyang in the world who would give them food, land, and let them survive?

No, there won’t be another one. Apart from Lu Chenyang, there will not be another official like this in the world.

As for the refugees, they were grateful to Lu Chenyang as if he were their adopted parent. It was Lu Chenyang who gave them a way to survive, and this was likely their only chance to see him again.

So all the refugees who heard the news ran out to greet him.

"Welcome, Lord Lu!"

"Welcome, Lord Lu!" The people's shouts were even louder than those of Lu's army.

"Sir! I go to the temple every month to pray for you. I hope you will be healthy and have a successful career!"

"Sir! I have also set up a longevity tablet for you at home. May you live a long life!" someone shouted.

The people were too excited. Fortunately, there were many soldiers from the Lu family, and they set up human walls on both sides of the road to block the overly excited people.

They also knew that if they caused chaos, it would bring danger to Lord Lu. Although they were excited, they did not push forward, but just made a little louder noise.

Lu Chenyang was flattered and surprised. He bowed to the people.

This scene deeply touched Cui Yong. He had never seen anything like this in all his years.

Sometimes, the people's will is so straightforward and laid out so clearly in front of him.

Those sincere expressions of gratitude, those excited faces, all of them were grateful to Lu Chenyang.

Lu Chenyang sent many people to provide disaster relief. These refugees had to work every day to earn food. People who had experienced despair cherished the opportunity to survive. Therefore, the refugees worked very hard every day, eating as quickly as possible so that they could go back to work.

He had so many servants and tenants in his house, but he had never seen anyone work so hard. They were so hardworking and diligent on weekdays, but today they didn't even care about working or earning food, just to come and see Lu Chenyang.

This is the will of the people.

The young man who greeted the people with a smile did something that many people could never do in their entire lives.

The first top scholar in the imperial examination who scored six first places was truly extraordinary.

"Everyone, go back and evacuate slowly." Lu Chenyang said loudly, "Thank you all for coming to see me. I'm going back to the camp. Everyone, go back too."

Lu Chenyang glanced at Ji Ping, who understood and immediately ordered people to evacuate the crowd.

There are too many people, so please evacuate carefully to avoid a stampede.

Finally, when Lu Chenyang got on the carriage, the people gradually dispersed after they saw Lu Chenyang.

Lu Chenyang breathed a sigh of relief and followed Ji Ping back to the military camp.

Jiang Yu soon learned what happened outside the city. When his housekeeper came back and exaggerated the story, Jiang Yu was so angry that he slammed the table.

"You are so shameless, Lu Chenyang!" Jiang Yu's face turned red with anger.

The housekeeper stood aside, hesitant to speak. He thought to himself, why should Lu Chenyang give you face? He has military power and the support of the people, but he may not even give the emperor face, so why should he give you face?

And what's wrong with you, the Ningzhou governor? If Lu Chenyang is happy, you are the Ningzhou governor. If Lu Chenyang is unhappy, you will die in the line of duty.

Life or death is all a matter of Lu Chenyang's decision. Are you still thinking about Lu Chenyang coming to see you?

Where did this face come from?!

The butler was sent by the head of the Jiang family to Jiang Yu to give him some advice when he was confused. However, Jiang Yu thought the butler was nagging and did not like to listen to him.

This time Jiang Yu refused to pick up Lu Chenyang. The housekeeper tried to persuade him again and again, and his lips were almost worn out, but Jiang Yu remained unmoved.

Finally, he said directly: "Since you want to see Lu Chenyang so much, then go and pick him up."

The housekeeper couldn't help but say, "Sir, now is not the time to argue with Lu Chenyang. He now holds military power!" He said, "I heard that the Lu family army is already on the way, heading to our Ningzhou. If something happens to Lu Chenyang in the capital, the Lu family army will first send troops to Huai'an, and then our Ningzhou!"

The housekeeper added, "There are still 50,000 Lu family soldiers outside the city. Ji Ping is a madman. If he wants to occupy Ningzhou, it will be a matter of a thought. Our Ningzhou garrison is no match for the Lu family army!"

Jiang Yu was shocked: "Lu Chenyang can't come back alive from the capital?"

The housekeeper was helpless and for the first time he blamed his wise master in his heart.

Why did the Jiang family choose Jiang Yu to be the Ningzhou Governor? It was because everyone knew that the Ningzhou Governorship was a mere figurehead, and no one could wrest the real power from Lu Chenyang. Therefore, this position was a hot potato, and the Jiang family's patriarch, adhering to the principle of making good use of waste, simply found a useless person and shoved him in the lap.

No matter who comes, it is impossible for him to gain the real power of the governor in Ningzhou, so let a fool come and just stay there honestly.

Jiang Yu is the waste who was chosen with great difficulty.

But Jiang Yu didn't think so. He felt that he was highly valued and was here to show his talents.

This is a beautiful misunderstanding.

Butler Jiang felt tired.

"Lord Lu will definitely leave the capital safely and in good health." Butler Jiang extinguished Jiang Yu's wishful thinking with an expressionless face.
