The eunuchs and guards looked at each other.
They could hardly believe their eyes; the moat utterly astonished them.
Even the well-informed old eunuch in purple robes exclaimed that it was impossible.
The old eunuch in purple robes waved to the soldiers guarding the city and asked, "Where did your Lord Jiang come from?"
"How would I know? The people in the city all say he is the reincarnation of the Dragon King, and some even say he is a celestial being descended to earth." Seeing the kind-looking old eunuch in purple, the soldiers guarding the city were willing to chat with him.
"Young man, could you chat with me a little longer?"
"As long as it doesn't obstruct pedestrians from coming and going, I'll chat with you for as long as I want."
...
On the street.
Jiang Tian held Yelü Hongyan's hand, and the two of them each had a cup of milk tea. This little girl had already drunk her eighth cup.
But Yelü Hongyan, the young girl, still insisted that she could still drink.
"You can't drink anymore. Look at your round belly. If you drink any more, your little white belly will burst." Jiang Tian shook his head, snatched the milk tea from Yelü Hongyan's hand, and slurped it up several times.
"Jiang Tian, where did you get such a delicious drink?"
Jiang Tian pointed to the sky: "Didn't I tell you before? I'm a celestial being descended to earth, but you wouldn't believe me."
The little girl shook her head again.
Just then, Luo Xiaohu rode up on a fast horse.
"My lord, someone from the capital has arrived."
Who are these people from the capital?
“A group of eunuchs, dressed in red and purple clothes, with python patterns embroidered on the front of their robes.”
Jiang Tian knew immediately that only the Grand Eunuch was qualified to wear purple clothes.
Those eunuchs in red robes must be the chief eunuch in charge of the emperor's affairs.
"Why are there so many eunuchs all of a sudden? Are all the powerful eunuchs who are in charge of the emperor here?" Jiang Tian was completely baffled.
"My lord, what should we do with those eunuchs?"
"Please invite them to the county government office. I'll be there shortly," Jiang Tiantian said, then took the hand of the young girl, Yelü Hongyan, and continued walking forward.
“Miss, just tell me what you like, and I’ll buy it for you.” As soon as Jiang Tian finished speaking, Yelü Hongyan reached out her hand to him.
"The things you stole from me the other day, if you give them back to me, could be exchanged for a lot of money in gold."
Jiang Tian spread his hands, indicating that he had nothing left.
He also planned to use the things on Yelü Hongyan's body to extort money from the Southern King.
As Jiang Tian strolled along the streets with the young girl, he secretly plotted how to get more money from her father.
"Jiang Tian, don't give me that. Don't think I don't know what you're up to. You just want to use these things to ask my father for money."
Jiang Tian nodded, no longer pretending: "You eat, drink, sleep, and relieve yourself here for free?"
The milk tea you just drank was priceless treasure.
To be honest, a single cup of milk tea costs ten thousand taels of silver.
It's all just bragging, so let's exaggerate it.
“Hongyan, even if I gave you ten thousand taels of silver, you still couldn’t get something this delicious.”
Upon hearing this, the young girl's eyebrows shot up: "I bet you just took it out of your sleeve. How much could that thing be worth?"
"Can you show me one?" Jiang Tian asked back.
Several carriages, escorted by imperial cavalry, headed straight for the county government office in the distance.
Yelü Hongyan grabbed Jiang Tian's arm and said, "The convoy has already entered the county government office. Let's go back."
"I'm not in a hurry, why are you?" Jiang Tian was really surprised that the chief eunuch had also come.
What important matter could possibly warrant the departure of the Grand Eunuch from the palace?
"Young master, I'm tired of walking around and don't want to walk around outside anymore." Yelü Hongyan pouted and touched her slightly round belly.
"Luo Xiaohu, arrange a carriage to take Miss Hongyan back."
"promise……"
Jiang Tiangang returned to the county government office.
Led by the old eunuch in purple, the red-clad eunuchs headed straight for Jiang Tian.
"May I ask what brings you gentlemen from the capital to this remote little town?" Jiang Tian asked the old eunuch in purple.
The old eunuch in purple had a kind face, completely different from the other eunuchs in red.
Those eunuchs in red robes had somewhat sharp and mean faces.
"We are just passing through your esteemed place on our way to the Great Wall," the old eunuch said politely.
Jiang Tian frowned upon hearing this.
The Liao army of 100,000 was located north of the Great Wall, a fact that the Grand Eunuch could not possibly be unaware of.
Moreover, the imperial court could not possibly be unaware that Zhang Shicheng's troops were gathering near the Great Wall.
Zhang Shicheng's army and the Liao army were preparing to launch a coordinated attack from within and without to capture the Great Wall. These court eunuchs were definitely not just casually strolling around the Great Wall.
"I have no interest in knowing why you've come here if you don't want to say." Jiang Tiantian held a bunch of grapes in her hand and ate them as she walked.
He headed straight for the garden behind the county government office, where several eunuchs in red robes tried to stop Jiang Tian.
The eunuch in purple robes immediately reached out to stop them.
The purple-robed eunuch greeted him with a smile: "Young man, may I have a word with you in private?"
"I'll say it again: I'm not interested in what you've come here for. The Great Xia Dynasty is already riddled with problems, and rebellions are breaking out everywhere."
"I, Jiang Tian, am no good person. Since everyone wants a share of the pie, then I, Jiang Tian, also want to divide up this Great Xia Dynasty."
After overhearing this, the old woman in purple hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.
"If you understand what I mean, you should know that we are not on the same side at all. I could arrest you at any time, just like I arrested Xiao Tianzuo of the Liao Kingdom."
Jiang Tian deliberately let the other party hear these words.
“Young man,” the old eunuch’s face immediately softened, “you mean you’ve arrested Xiaotian Group, Empress Dowager Xiao’s right-hand men from Liao?”
"Yes, that kid is currently locked up in my county jail."
"I wonder why this young man wants to capture Xiao Tianzuo of the Liao Kingdom. He is a key minister of the Liao Kingdom, commanding a powerful army. He is ruthless and has the courage of ten thousand men."
What a load of bull! He's invincible; he's no match for a stun gun.
"He wants to seize my Flying Fox City. How can I allow others to interfere in my territory? It's just bad luck for this kid. He actually came to my county government office with only a few dozen people."
Before Jiang Tian could finish speaking, the old eunuch, trembling, actually cupped his hands and bowed deeply to him.
"Young man, I just looked at the moat, and I also looked at the people in the city." The old eunuch was bent over, and didn't straighten up for a long time. "The people inside and outside the city have all received good relief."
Young man, you are a kind and compassionate person.
"Don't use words like 'kind-hearted' to insult me," Jiang Tian interrupted.
