After entering the door, Yuchi Zhong went straight to the main hall without going to receive the people from the palace who came to deliver rewards.
Su Hui went out to greet them a few times. These palace servants knew that Yuchi Zhong was in a bad mood today and did not want to cause any embarrassment, so they put down their things and said goodbye and left.
In the front yard, Cai'er took over the young lady's task and was waiting for the master to come back.
After Yuchi Zhong came in, Cai'er went back to report the news.
Jiang Hai and his wife had just left the training ground, tidied themselves up, and prepared to go and talk to their father-in-law about Yang Hongye.
When he arrived at the front yard, it was not as bad as he had imagined. Jiang Hai originally thought that his father-in-law would get angry, but he was surprisingly calm.
Seeing Jiang Hai and his wife coming over, Yuchi Zhong smiled and asked them to sit down and talk.
"Dad, are I going to be transferred to the western border?" Yuchi Ziling couldn't help but ask.
Yuchi Zhong was very surprised. How could his daughter know about this matter that was just discussed in the morning court? In the past, his daughter never cared about these things at all.
"How did Ling'er know?"
Yuchi Zhong nodded. This matter could not be concealed, and the whole family had to discuss it.
Yuchi Ziling then briefly told Jiang Hai about the intelligence he had received that day.
Yuchi Zhong looked at his son-in-law in surprise.
Jiang Hai nodded calmly, indicating that his wife was right and that was the case.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Hai had such skills. Yuchi Zhong was very pleased and thought that this old man Jiang Xiuyuan really gave him a good son.
Now his son has given him half of it, so he feels he has not lost out.
"So what do you think about this?" Yuchi Zhong asked.
Jiang Hai was about to talk about his plan.
At this time, Ding Shang came in with an invitation.
"Master, the Sixth Prince's invitation is for you and your uncle."
"OK."
Yuchi Zhong took the invitation and opened it to take a look. Yang Hongjin invited him and Jiang Hai to have a meal at a restaurant outside.
Earlier on the march, Yang Hongjin had mentioned that he would invite them to meet for a drink after returning to the capital.
I didn't expect that he would come to my house so soon. It seems that he is very concerned about me.
Look at the time, it’s almost time.
So he asked Jiang Hai if he wanted to attend the banquet.
Jiang Hai naturally didn't care. He would wait until he met Yang Hongjin and then tell his father-in-law. Maybe he could hear some other news from the prince.
So the father-in-law and son-in-law rode out on horseback to attend the banquet.
Wenzhi followed Jiang Hai, and Yuchi Zhong had no habit of going out with entourage in the capital, so the three of them traveled together.
Yuchi Ziling was quite worried. Many days had passed since she learned about this matter, and neither her father nor Jiang Hai had made any decision, so the matter remained hanging in the air.
"Jiang Lang, don't drink too much and come back early." Yuchi Ziling reminded Jiang Hai before leaving.
"Don't worry, I don't like drinking and I won't drink too much." Jiang Hai nodded in agreement.
The old father Yuchi Zhong felt a little weird. After the cabbage was eaten by the pig, the cabbage was still spoken to the pig, forgetting about its own role as a vegetable.
Considering that the pig was still a small sweet pig, the old father endured it, put on a smile and rode the horse first.
The meeting place was at Fumanlou near Dongshi, not far away.
When they arrived at Fumanlou, Yang Hongjin had already booked a private room upstairs.
When Jiang Hai walked into Fumanlou, he was still wondering if this store was run by Uncle Fu. He still remembered what happened at Qingyun Villa last time.
After entering the private room, Yang Hongjin politely invited everyone to take a seat.
It was not until the dish was served that Jiang Hai tasted it and found that the salt was not from Xincheng, and then he was sure that it was not the work of Uncle Fu.
During the meal, Yang Hongjin talked about how Yuchi Zhong saved him.
"Thank you General Yuchi for your help earlier, and also thanks to Master Jiang's magic weapon."
"Your Highness, there is no need to do this. This is my duty." Yuchi Zhong said.
Now that Yuchi Zhong has returned to the capital and handed over his military power, Yang Hongjin no longer calls him the commander-in-chief.
Jiang Hai didn't say anything. He didn't know why the other party invited him here, so he just listened quietly to them bragging about their business.
Talking about this matter, Yang Hongjin frowned and said,
"It's still unclear who did it."
"Yes, it's true. The assassin hid very well and left no trace." Yuchi Zhong nodded.
Seeing that his father-in-law seemed to be getting along well with the Sixth Prince, Jiang Hai asked,
"Old Tarzan, do you want to know who it is?"
"You know? Tell me about it. Even if we can't find any evidence of the assassin, if we know who it is, it will help His Highness be on guard."
"His third brother." Jiang Hai put down his chopsticks and pointed at Yang Hongjin.
This action was a bit impolite, but Yang Hongjin didn't seem to care much.
After hearing what Jiang Hai said, Yuchi Zhong and Yang Hongjin both looked thoughtful. They seemed to have guessed something, but they couldn't confirm it for the time being. After all, they had no evidence, so it was not easy to say anything.
"He is really cruel. I had no intention of competing with him. I was thinking of telling my father that after this year, I would leave the capital and go to a fiefdom." Yang Hongjin was a little annoyed.
After hearing what Yang Hongjin said, Jiang Hai became interested. He didn't know where the Sixth Prince's fiefdom was, nor did he know what title of king he was given.
"Where is your highness's fiefdom?" Jiang Hai asked.
Yang Hongjin didn't expect Jiang Hai to ask this. He thought Yuchi Zhong should have told him a long time ago.
"Your Highness has been granted the title of King of Yue, with his fiefdom in Yuezhou, southern Xinjiang."
When Yuchi Zhong saw Jiang Hai asking about this, he answered for Yang Hongjin. It seemed a bit awkward to let the prince speak himself.
"Oh, Yuezhou, that's not bad." Jiang Hai replied casually.
Yuezhou is located west of Nanzhou. Its geographical location is between Binhai County and Nanzhou City, slightly to the north.
However, it is convenient to travel from Yuezhou to Nanzhou, but it is troublesome to travel to Binhai County, as you need to go around the Wohu Mountains to the north of Binhai County.
It is said to be in southern Xinjiang, but Yuezhou is as close to the north as Nanzhou. Relatively speaking, it is more prosperous and can be considered a medium-sized state.
The map in Jiang Hai's mind unfolded. Very good, it was in the southern border area. If this prince could get along, he wouldn't mind protecting him.
Seeing Jiang Hai's thoughts wandering, as if he was thinking about something, Yang Hongjin smiled and asked,
"I heard that Young Master Jiang is also in Southern Xinjiang?
When I get there, you can come to Yuezhou to have some fun when you have some free time."
"Okay, then you better hurry up. I should be back to southern Xinjiang soon." Jiang Hai grinned.
This time, he didn't bother calling him "Your Highness" anymore. Jiang Hai actually found it quite troublesome. And judging from Yang Hongjin's appearance, he was about the same age as Jiang Hai.
Seeing that he didn't need to use honorifics, Yuchi Zhong wanted to remind him, but Yang Hongjin didn't seem to care much about it, so he pretended not to hear.
"Then it's a deal. See you in Yuezhou next year." Yang Hongjin was cheerful. After hearing what Jiang Hai said, he also made an appointment.
"Okay, okay. I'll bring you some local specialties. I guarantee you'll be satisfied." Jiang Hai agreed without giving him any face.
