Chapter 486 Han Jing Enters Yue
Nanxia, a house on the outskirts of the capital.
Jiang Feng handed over the letter from Yue State: "Master, the report from over there is that Chi Yan has returned to Yue State."
At the same time, he was also very curious. Logically speaking, considering the obstacles they created on the road, it would take Chi Yan at least seven days to return to Yue State.
But today is only the eighth day, and news from Yue State has already arrived.
Not necessarily too smart.
Luo Tingshan burned the letter after reading it. "Send someone to keep an eye on it. Where's Han Jing? Has he arrived yet?"
Jiang Feng nodded: "Don't worry, we will meet Chi Yan as soon as he leaves the military camp."
At this moment, Chi Yan wanted to rest in the camp for seven or eight days, but when he heard that General Yongchang had come to the border, he stood up and started to dress.
A man in his forties or fifties was actually afraid of a seventeen-year-old boy.
If you tell it to others, it will make people laugh out loud.
But the people in the Yue army camp would never treat this as a joke.
At this moment, the relatively relaxed atmosphere in the military camp suddenly became very solemn.
Chi Yan also immediately got ready and mounted his horse, heading towards the nearest Huicheng.
In Huicheng, Jiang Cheng and Han Jing disguised themselves as businessmen and stayed in the most luxurious restaurant.
It's said to be luxurious, but there are only about twenty rooms on one floor, and the food is even worse than swallowing.
The two were complaining that the food in Yue State was not to their taste when a big red-haired man rushed in.
Jiang Cheng had his back to him, but Han Jing had already seen Chi Yan's portrait, so he immediately kicked the other party inadvertently. Jiang Cheng noticed it, but still did not move.
After a moment, when I looked back, I only saw Chi Yan's red hair and back flash by.
"It's him!"
Jiang Cheng said softly.
Han Jing nodded immediately: "Will it start in a moment?"
Jiang Cheng said okay and earnestly reminded: "There is still a chance to regret now, I will ask you again..."
Han Jing raised his hand to interrupt, and said solemnly: "I will never regret what I have decided."
What's more, he would work with General Zhengyuan. Although being a spy was dangerous, when he thought about it, it was still in the field he was good at. Han Jing actually felt a vague excitement in his heart.
Jiang Cheng encouraged: "I'm optimistic about you! In the future, your military achievements will definitely surpass mine!"
Chi Yan rushed to the inn and just as he reached the door, he heard some indecent noises coming from inside and his face turned awkward.
He waited outside the door for a full hour, but there was still movement inside.
Damn it, these royals really know how to play. In just a short while, they've already taken over the three women.
Chi Yan complained in his heart, with the same disdainful expression.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of fighting outside.
Chi Yan was really afraid of affecting Yongchang's mood, so he immediately walked out.
I saw a young man in plain clothes being whipped by a big man, and next to him was a wealthy old man leisurely drinking tea.
"What's going on?"
He summoned the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper had been watching the excitement for a while and immediately told the whole story.
It turned out that the rich master lost one thousand taels of silver and said that the whipped boy stole it, but the boy refused to admit it, so he was beaten.
Originally, if I begged for mercy and admitted my mistake, the rich master might not pursue the matter.
But the boy was very stubborn and could not utter a word except "I didn't steal it".
Hearing this, Chi Yan frowned, as if he saw the scene of being whipped by his aunt when he was young.
If you didn't do it yourself, why should you admit it?
In the end, he was beaten to death. If it weren't for his master who came by and saved him...
Chi Yan suddenly shouted, "Stop!"
The whip stopped immediately, and everyone looked over. Seeing his red hair, they immediately fell to their knees in fear.
"Greetings, General."
Han Jing opened his eyes slightly. The boy's eyes were clear and stubborn, with a hint of imperceptible fragility.
Chi Yan's men immediately stepped forward and prepared to carry the man down to treat his injuries.
"General!" Master Fugui slowly raised his head, as if he was afraid, but unwilling to accept it: "This kid stole a thousand taels of silver from me."
"I didn't!" Han Jing immediately retorted loudly.
Chi Yan simply waved his hand and ordered his men to take him away. Master Fugui looked at him with an unfriendly look, and immediately had an expression of inexpressible pain.
"Shopkeeper, you have a distinguished guest here. Please kick out the irrelevant people as soon as possible. Otherwise..."
The shopkeeper seemed to suddenly react and immediately apologized to everyone, saying that he would not be receiving any guests today. Even Jiang Cheng and others who had arrived several days earlier were kicked out.
Several people looked at each other.
"Boss, are we going back?"
Han Jing stayed and their mission was completed.
Jiang Cheng was still worried. After all, he was just a teenager and it was his first time to go on such a big mission. If he was really exposed, they would be able to rescue him in time.
"Find a place to stay first!"
In the following days, Jiang Cheng and others had been trying to find out Han Jing's whereabouts.
But there was no movement, and even the inn was sealed off by soldiers.
Jiang Cheng frowned, and just when he was getting impatient and was about to visit the inn tomorrow night.
The next day, when the secret guard came back from outside, he showed an excited expression.
"Boss, stay!"
"You don't know how thrilling the whole process was. I heard from the people that he was almost chopped to death by Yongchang and Chiyan. It was also because of that kid's cleverness that they ended up fighting over him."
Jiang Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, no one can mention Han Jing's name again from now on. Just pretend you don't know him!" he ordered.
"Yes!" Everyone's face was solemn.
After the work is done, it is time to return to the city, but since we have entered the Kingdom of Yue, we must contact the spies from before and see if they can still be trusted.
"An Yi, you stay," he said finally. "You're responsible for all our actions in Yue! If you're truly unsure about something, take this jade pendant and go to No. 36 Northwest Lane."
…
The Third Prince was very concerned about Chi Yan's sudden departure and sent people to investigate.
I heard that he appeared naked at the back door of the inn the day after he left.
The third prince suspected that it was done by the eldest prince, after all, the Jingzhao Yin was his man.
But why didn’t he kill Chi Yan directly?
The third prince was puzzled. When he went to court the next day, he found that his father, who had been ill for a long time, was sitting on the dragon throne with a rosy complexion, but the look in his eyes staring at him was somewhat unfriendly.
The third prince remained vigilant all morning, fearing that he would be framed again.
Things turned out just as he expected, but the person being scolded this time was Wu Cheng, Shaoqing of Weiwei Temple.
There are not many officials with the surname Wu in the court. More importantly, the third prince’s biological mother is from the Wu family.
Now, hearing that his father was looking for an insignificant reason to dismiss Wu Cheng, the Third Prince's face was as gloomy as ink. He glanced at the First Prince and found that the corner of his mouth was raised.
The third prince lowered his eyes again and knew that he was involved in this matter.
Okay, then let’s see who is better.
He gestured behind him.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"
"Permission granted!"
"I would like to report General Xu of Guancheng for corruption and abuse of power. He has embezzled a large sum of three hundred thousand taels of silver, colluded with the Xiongnu, and allowed his men to murder hundreds of civilians. He has also collected food and supplies for his own benefit, sold official positions and titles, and abused his power over hundreds of cities. I hope Your Majesty will understand this!"
