Chapter 271: Humble Zheng Jiacheng
Although Liang Jingyao controlled Empress Dowager Yan with drugs, it was reasonable that Empress Dowager Yan and Princess Mingzhu were both relatives to him, and only if they stood on his side would others not dare to criticize his father when he took over the world in the future!
"It's okay, I have my own arrangements! Princess, don't worry!"
Princess Mingzhu did not refuse again and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll go call Jiacheng."
When Liang Jingyao saw Zheng Jiacheng coming out, he was wearing training clothes, holding a long sword in his hand, with a lot of sweat on his forehead and back, and it seemed that he was practicing martial arts in the back.
"Jiacheng, long time no see!" Liang Jingyao stepped forward and patted Zheng Jiacheng's arm. The strong muscles made Liang Jingyao feel very satisfied.
Zheng Jiacheng smiled and said, "Yes, I haven't said thank you yet! Mother just said that you agreed to let me go to your place, is that true?"
Liang Jingyao nodded and said affirmatively: "Of course, I've heard that you performed very well at the border. Now that you are willing to come, I couldn't be more pleased!"
Zheng Jiacheng was extremely happy. Ever since his leg injury healed, he had been practicing diligently in the backyard, hoping that one day he could join Jing Yao's army. Even if he had to start as a soldier, he would be willing to do so.
Firstly, he wanted to repay Liang Jingyao for saving his life; secondly, it was only a matter of time before Emperor Liang stepped down, and he expressed his position earlier for future considerations.
"Thank you, I will definitely live up to your expectations!" Zheng Jiacheng smiled like a child who got candy.
Liang Jingyao didn't stay in the bamboo courtyard for long because he had other things to arrange. He took Zheng Jiacheng and Zhan Ying back to the city gate.
At the city gate, Liang Jingyao saw that Zhan Hu and Chen Hu had completed the handover. Chen Hu returned to the city wall and took charge, while Zhan Hu was waiting on the road with a sword in his arms.
Zhan Hu went forward and asked, "Master, when do we set out?"
Liang Jingyao replied: "Don't worry, go and call Chen Hu down first, I have something to talk to him about."
Zhan Hu nodded, ran to the city wall, and brought Chen Hu down.
When Chen Hu saw Liang Jingyao, he immediately bowed and said, "Master, what are your orders?"
Liang Jingyao introduced Zheng Jiacheng to Chen Hu and said, "Chen Hu, this is the eldest princess's son, Zheng Jiacheng. After the Silver Slash Guards leave, I plan to let him lead the team to guard Yangming Mountain. Please assign a group of people to him."
Chen Hu did not dare to underestimate Zheng Jiacheng at all. Although this was the first time he met him, he had long heard of Zheng Jiacheng's reputation. He had made many military achievements on the battlefield and was not as useless as the children of officials in the capital.
"Yes, Mr. Zheng, please follow me!" Chen Hu stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.
Zheng Jiacheng felt the other party's friendliness, and he said politely: "No, no, no, we are all brothers from now on. Don't call me Young Master, just call me by my name, Jiacheng."
Chen Hu felt that he had not misjudged the person. Although Zheng Jiacheng was the eldest princess's legitimate son and had a noble status, he was very easy-going and not at all pretentious. It seemed that future cooperation would be very easy!
"Haha, Jiacheng, you can call me Chen Hu from now on. I am the deputy captain of the Cheetah Army. The captain is still in the northern border to protect the safety of Prince Rong." Chen Hu introduced himself as he walked.
Zheng Jiacheng nodded and said, "Okay. Chen Hu, don't worry about my previous identity. Now Jing Yao brought me here, I am your subordinate. If you have anything to say, just tell me. Military orders are heavier than mountains!"
Chen Hu admired Zheng Jiacheng's character very much, and when he assigned personnel to him, he also selected soldiers with outstanding abilities.
"Jiacheng, there are ten of us here, and there are about twenty more on Yangming Mountain who have been following the Silver Slash Guards to defend the mountain. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them. After the Silver Slash Guards leave, you will be their team leader. On Yangming Mountain, they must follow your orders in all their actions. Failure to do so will result in military punishment."
Zheng Jiacheng had considerable experience leading troops in battles at the border, so when Chen Hu brought the men before him, he immediately judged that they were of good quality. He said with satisfaction, "Yes! Jing Yao is still waiting for me over there. I'll take the men over first. I'll treat you to a drink some other day when I'm free!"
Chen Hu knew that the Silver Slashing Guards were about to set off today, and Zheng Jiacheng would immediately fill the position of guarding Yangming Mountain, so Chen Hu didn't keep him company to talk much.
"There is a long way to go. Be careful when you go to Yangming Mountain." Chen Hu clasped his fists and said.
Zheng Jiacheng clasped his fists in response and said, "Don't worry, as long as we are here, we will be there!"
Immediately, Zheng Jiacheng took ten Cheetah Army soldiers and followed Liang Jingyao to Yangmingshan.
At the foot of Yangming Mountain, there were only one or two people guarding here, and the others went to patrol the mountain.
Liang Jingyao said to Zhan Tian, "Zhan Hu, go call all the Silver Slash Guards and Cheetah Army over here. I have something to say."
Zhan Hu nodded and replied, "Yes, I'll go right away."
After a while, Zhan Hu gathered everyone at the foot of the mountain.
"Greetings, master!" Except for Zhan Tian and Zhan Wei, all the other Silver Slash Guards saluted in unison.
Liang Jingyao nodded and said, "I need you to do something. After Zhan Tian and Zhan Wei return, you must quickly go to Anshun to support Master Zhao. You must hold back the Yumu Kingdom's army. This is my badge. If Master Zhao doesn't believe me, show him my badge."
Zhan Ying, the captain of the Silver Slash Guard, stepped forward to take the token and said, "Yes, I obey your command!"
Liang Jingyao then introduced Zheng Jiacheng to the Cheetah Army soldiers guarding the mountain and said, "The rest of the soldiers, listen up. From today on, Zheng Jiacheng is your captain, and you must obey the captain's command."
The Cheetah Army soldiers on the mountain were very unfamiliar with this airborne captain, and they felt a little dissatisfied, so they responded in a less than uniform manner, "Yes, I obey your command."
Zheng Jiacheng could see that these people did not obey him very much, but he did not care. In the army, fists were the only thing that mattered, and he was fully confident that he could control these people.
"I am Zheng Jiacheng. This is our first meeting and I don't know you all very well yet. You are welcome to come to me for a discussion at any time!" Zheng Jiacheng said with a fist salute.
The soldiers suddenly had a different feeling towards this airborne captain. He was a little arrogant, but maybe he had some strength!
Just then, Zhan Tian and Zhan Wei came back. They first went to the city gate, but Chen Hu told them that Liang Jingyao was on Yangming Mountain, so they hurried here again.
"Master, we are back." Zhan Tian and Zhan Wei saluted respectfully.
Liang Jingyao quickly asked, "What did you find?"
Zhan Wei stepped forward to answer, saying, "We followed them into the capital, only to discover that the Jianghu Order's previously hidden residence had appeared on the street, and it was on fire. To find out what was going on, we sneaked in and captured someone for questioning. The man said that someone had broken into the Jianghu Order, killed their leader, and set the house on fire. Now the Jianghu Order can't even protect themselves!"
