Chapter 122: Qiao Niang was detained
Yun Qiao originally planned to go back, but Chen Jingyan refused to let her go, so she couldn't leave. So she stayed with him in Guangcheng.
She wanted to be free, but he insisted on dragging her along no matter what he did.
Yun Qiao was quite annoyed at first, but later she found that what she was doing with Chen Jingyan was quite interesting, and unknowingly, she became interested.
For example, Chen Jingyan took her to work on the reconstruction and economic development of Guangcheng patients. Yun Qiao also got to know Ouyang De, a businessman in Guangcheng. Ouyang De owns a restaurant, and his restaurant is the best in Guangcheng and unmatched.
The name is also loud and clear, it is called Guangcheng No. 1 Restaurant.
The Ouyang family has great influence in Guangcheng. In addition to doing business, they naturally also serve as officials. Otherwise, the Ouyang family's business would not be so big.
Economic reconstruction after the city-wide outbreak is very important. Chen Jingyan's intention is to open up sea transportation and establish trade exchanges with overseas ethnic groups and foreign countries. He came here to suppress pirates.
After the pirates were captured, Guangcheng's overseas trade channel was truly opened.
After following Chen Jingyan for a few days, Yun Qiao also understood the nature of his work.
The two came back together in the evening, and the servants had prepared dinner. They sat down to eat. While Yun Qiao was eating, she asked him some questions.
"Pirates are so dangerous and difficult to deal with. My Lord, you are a land general. Why should this mission be entrusted to you, my Lord?"
Chen Jingyan quickly ate a few mouthfuls of hot food before saying to Yun Qiao, "Who are you, the pirate leader who dominates the sea?"
Yun Qiao shook her head. "How would I know that? I just arrived in Guangcheng."
"I fought that man on the battlefield. He's Jiang Yulang, the eldest son of the Jiang family, one of the remnants of the previous dynasty. He likes to dress like a scholar and is known for his deceptive appearance. Back then, the late emperor slaughtered all the remnants of the previous dynasty. Prince Cheng and his subordinates, whose fiefdoms were on the border, got the news and fled in time. Later, they were said to have found a deserted island. I imagine these pirates are related to them."
Of course, these were discovered later when Chen Jingyan sent people to investigate.
He also led troops to hunt down some of the remnants of the former King Cheng's men.
It was just a while ago, but he still remembered Jiang Yulang clearly.
Because Jiang Yulang was soft-hearted that day, he was able to escape by chance.
After so many twists and turns today, it seems that he still has to personally deal with the unfinished matters.
Chen Jingyan only said that the pirates were related to the remnants of the previous dynasty, but he did not mention the relationship between Jiang Yulang and him. Yun Qiao still didn't understand why the emperor asked Chen Jingyan to take charge of Guangcheng's affairs.
But it must be said that the emperor values Chen Jingyan, and whenever there are some difficult and tough things to deal with, he will call Chen Jingyan to do it.
But such people are also very tired.
Yunqiao ate calmly.
Seeing that she preferred the food in Guangcheng, Chen Jingyan made up his mind that when he finished his work in Guangcheng and was ready to go back, he would have to get two local chefs to go back with him.
"Like this steamed fish? Eat more."
Chen Jingyan picked up a piece of fish and put it in her bowl.
Yun Qiao didn't say anything and just lowered her head to eat. At this moment, Gu Heng's voice came from outside the door.
"Did you go to Guangcheng's No. 1 Restaurant today? Why didn't you eat there?" Gu Heng said as he walked towards Chen Jingyan and Yun Qiao.
Yun Qiao wiped her mouth with a handkerchief.
"Second Master, you have something to talk to the Marquis about, so I'll go back first and not disturb you guys."
Before Chen Jingyan could try to persuade her to stay, Gu Heng said, "Miss Qiao, there's no need to shy away. I'm here to say goodbye to you. I plan to return to Jiangcheng tomorrow."
"Second Master is leaving tomorrow? Why are you in such a hurry? What happened in Jiangcheng?"
Gu Heng looked a little uncomfortable, but he didn't say what happened in Jiangcheng. He just said, "I'll go back to Jiangcheng first, and then go to the Marquis' Mansion in Jingdu to discuss some things with the old lady."
Chen Jingyan immediately understood.
"Second brother wants to get married?"
"Sanlang has already made his decision, so Second Brother can't fall too far behind."
After Gu Heng finished speaking, he didn't even sit down. He just told them to continue eating and he would go back to pack up first.
Yun Qiao looked at Gu Heng's back as he left.
She actually wanted to leave with Gu Heng. It would be best if she could stay in Jiangcheng for a few days and visit Qingshan Temple.
Unfortunately, now I am trapped with Chen Jingyan.
