"...Your Majesty, no one is entering or leaving the city gate, don't worry!"
Chen Yong couldn't help laughing as he listened to Qi Zhiyong's loud roar on the intercom.
Ji Yongjia was so frightened that the intercom was like a hot potato in his hand.
“Someone is talking in here!?”
"Yes---are there gods?"
Ji Yongjia looked at Shen Yong, who was laughing non-stop, in shock.
Before Shen Yong could speak, Qi Zhiyong got angry.
"Who are you? How dare you steal King Qianhuang's treasure? Do you want to die?"
"I'm telling you, return the treasure immediately, or I'll be executed immediately..."
Ji Yongjia's face turned pale with fright when he heard the scolding coming from the intercom.
When did he steal anything? Don't accuse him wrongly!
Ji Yongjia's throat rolled over and he looked at Shen Yong nervously.
Chen Yong listened to Qi Zhiyong's angry scolding on the intercom and quickly stopped him with a smile.
"This is the person I found to contact you."
"Just wait!"
When the person on the other side heard Shen Yong's words, he was so scared that he begged for mercy in a low voice and then fell silent.
Ji Yongjia looked at Shen Yong in disbelief, not knowing what to say for a moment.
The person in the small black box was obviously following Chen Yong's orders.
As for where that person was, he really couldn't guess.
He just listened carefully, and no one was talking around the main hall.
The voice didn't sound like Sun Ren and Zhang Tiezhu's.
Jin Ju, who was standing next to Shen Yong, was also shocked and lost in thought.
Chen Yong deliberately kept Jin Ju by his side just to see her reaction when she saw the intercom.
Seeing Jin Ju's shocked expression, her jaw almost dropping, he frowned slightly.
He’s never even seen a walkie-talkie, but he’s proficient in shooting?
Could it be someone from the Republic of China period?
Thinking of this, Shen Yong felt a lot more relieved.
It's not very threatening, it depends on what her purpose is.
At least in these few days, he didn't notice any unusual movement from Jinju.
Shen Yong looked at the stunned Ji Yongjia,
"Take the intercom, bring 50 Golden Armored Soldiers, and immediately go to the South Gate of Bailong City to take over the task of guarding the South Gate."
The reason why he asked Ji Yongjia to lead the troops to guard the south gate of Bailong City was mainly to give him a chance to show his abilities.
Along the way, even Zhang Wenyuan, who was originally the most arrogant, was willing to submit to him.
Only Ji Yongjia was still unwilling to put aside his pride and surrender. His words were rather pretentious, as if he wanted to surrender to him, but he was also thinking about the days when he had trampled on the original owner.
Two conflicting emotions intertwined in his heart, making Ji Yongjia feel very conflicted.
It's not like Shen Yong doesn't have people he can use under his command, but he still doesn't trust someone as stubborn as Ji Yongjia.
But for the sake of his third sister-in-law, he decided to give Ji Yongjia a chance to perform.
Anyway, Ji Yongjia was also poisoned by the Seven-Day Heartbreak Powder, and he would take the antidote regularly with the people from Bailong City.
He just wanted to see what Ji Yongjia thought.
Guarding the south gate of Bailong City, it is much easier to escape than to escape from Qianhuang City.
He gave Ji Yongjia a chance to choose.
Ji Yongjia looked at Chen Yong in bewilderment, holding the intercom with trembling hands.
"......yes."
He really didn’t expect that Shen Yong would give him such a precious thing.
He always knew that he couldn't be mediocre. Everyone was reused, but he was the only one who was thrown there and ignored.
Unexpectedly, Shen Yong gave him such a big surprise as soon as he used him.
Asking him to guard the south gate of Bailong City, does that mean that Bailong City has also been taken over by Chen Yong?
Thinking of this, Ji Yongjia realized it belatedly and widened his eyes in shock.
He suppressed his excitement, thought quickly and asked,
"...I wonder what the prince wants?"
We can't just let him be a city gate guard.
If it wasn't a very important matter, he wouldn't be allowed to bring 50 golden armored soldiers.
The Golden Armored Army are all imperial guards, and their martial arts skills are considered to be masters in these small border towns.
Having such a high-ranking eunuch guard guard the south gate of Bailong City must mean that there is something that needs to be guarded against.
Shen Yong glanced at Ji Yongjia indifferently.
Seeing Ji Yongjia obviously getting into the state, I felt a little satisfied.
"Guard the South Gate and don't let anyone leave the city. Also, carefully check the people entering the city."
"If you encounter an imperial envoy sent by the court, let him go directly without showing any abnormality."
So what if an imperial envoy comes? He will accept him as soon as he comes.
It's easy to get into his territory, but difficult to get out.
"If anything happens, report it to me immediately via intercom."
"And..." Chen Yong looked at Ji Yongjia with cold eyes.
"If anyone from the Golden Armor Army takes the opportunity to escape, they will be killed without mercy!!!"
Ji Yongjia's heart skipped a beat, and his eyelashes trembled slightly.
"...Yes, I obey your command!"
He didn't know why, but he always felt that Chen Yong's words were actually directed at him.
But he certainly won't run away.
If he escaped at this time, he would not know how to report the current situation when he returned to the capital.
Zhang Wenyuan has completely surrendered. The Zhang family is still a big family in the capital. If he goes back and says that Zhang Wenyuan has rebelled, the Zhang family will be in chaos and suffer a bloodbath.
The Zhang family and the Ji family are also related by marriage, so he will be in a difficult situation by then.
If he kept silent about these people and just vaguely said that they were all silenced by Chen Yong.
It doesn't seem to make sense. Why didn't anyone else come back alive, but he was the only one who came back alive?
Maybe Emperor Tianwu would even doubt his motives.
After all, he has some relationship with the Shen family.
After Shen Yong watched Ji Yongjia leave, he immediately asked Sun Ren to find an empty warehouse.
"Your Highness, this storehouse used to store furs, jewelry, and other items presented to the prefect by various places."
Sun Ren pushed open the door of the warehouse and said to Chen Yong,
"There aren't many things in there, only six boxes. I've moved them all to the vacant rooms."
"The warehouse has been completely cleaned, and a layer of oil paper has been laid on the floor according to the prince's request."
Sun Ren glanced at the empty and tidy warehouse, then turned to look at Shen Yong.
The prince must have asked the gods for something again, otherwise he would not have asked for an empty warehouse for no reason.
Shen Yong nodded and said, "Go to Zhang Wenyuan and check the account books to see how big the salt shortage is in Qianhuang City."
He had been so busy making drastic changes to the entire city recently that he hadn't even thought about the salt shortage.
Fortunately, I suddenly remembered the salt when I went to Bailong City last night.
He knew better than anyone how important salt was in ancient times.
The entire population of Qianhuang City has been out recently, and the daily meals cost a huge amount, so the corresponding amount of salt consumed is also increasing day by day.
It is estimated that the salt supply in Qianhuang City has been running out for a long time.
When he went to inspect the city wall a few days ago, he tasted the meat buns and felt that they had no salt taste.
At that time he thought that one of the cooks had forgotten to add salt, but now he thinks that there was a lack of salt.
