Chapter 275 Wu Shiyi’s Doubts

"Yes." Zhang Hu nodded.

When he received the order before, he felt incredible.

Therefore, he still didn't know how to report to Jiang Chen.

"Do you have any objections to the arrangement of the escort?" Jiang Chen was a little worried. Although the Song State emphasized civility over military affairs, the escort was an official army after all.

"No, I made it clear before I came here. Although I'm a little emotional, it's not a big problem." Zhang Hu replied.

"That's good. By the way, Captain Zhang, since these guards have become my personal guards, from now on you can either call me by name or call me Young Master Jiang. In addition, you don't need to worry about the food and grass issue, I will take care of it." of."

Jiang Chen was eager to turn these bodyguards into his personal bodyguards.

Although this would increase his expenses, he would also be able to better conquer the five hundred guards.

"Yes." Zhang Hu responded, and then took out a document: "By the way, Yong'an... Young Master Jiang, this is what Duke Qin asked me to give to you."

Jiang Chen took it and looked at it.

It was discovered that this was an official procurement document.

With this instrument in hand, official purchases can be made.

Moreover, Emperor Cheng Zhao stated in the document that the official purchase was only half price.

Jiang Chen was very happy about this.

Originally, he was worried that he would not have enough money and was considering selling the jewelry given by Emperor Cheng Zhao. But now it seems that he has no need at all.

Back at Jingxiu Villa, Jiang Chen started official purchasing.

Before that, Jiang Chen had already prepared a list.

However, during this purchase, Jiang Chen increased the purchase of grain and grass.

It is too dangerous for the five hundred guardsmen to have only ten days of food and grass.

…

A few days later, under Qin Siyuan's repeated urging, Jiang Chen finally decided to set off.

This time when he went to Yang Country, Jiang Chen brought Luo Shiniang and Qiu Yan with him. They had dozens of maids and servants. In addition, the goods purchased this time were enough to load hundreds of carriages.

On the day of departure, Qin Xuan came to say goodbye.

However, he was not representing Qiu Yan, but Qin Siyuan.

Because it was difficult for Qin Siyuan to show up at this time.

"Master Jiang, be careful along the way." Qin Xuan said.

"Definitely." Jiang Chen smiled.

Liang Yi is also here.

He smiled and said to Jiang Chen: "Mr. Yong'an County, for your safety, I have prepared twenty elites from the woodchopping department to protect your safety. Li Ye Ye."

"exist."

A middle-aged man came out.

"Remember to protect the safety of Yongan County officials on the road." Liang Yi said.

"Yes." Li Yeye responded.

"Thank you very much, Marquis Wei Yuan."

Jiang Chen knew in his heart that Liang Yi would never and would not dare to arrange it privately.

The only person who could make Liang Yi do this was Emperor Cheng Zhao.

"Mr. Yong'an County, take care."

Liang Yi smiled and saluted Jiang Chen, then turned and left.

"Mr. Jiang, don't worry, Liang Yi is like this." Qin Xuan said to Jiang Chen.

"Don't worry, I know what's going on." Jiang Chen didn't say much.

Compared to Liang Yi, Qin Xuan is a bit naive.

However, Qin Xuan may not be simple.

As the second son of a British prince, if he were a simple person, he might not be able to live so freely in a British prince's palace.

What's more, Qin Xuan came today on behalf of Qin Siyuan.

Although it was possible that Qin Siyuan sent Qin Xuan to see him off because Qin Xuan knew him. But if Qin Xuan was an incompetent person, it would be impossible for Qin Siyuan to choose him.

After Qin Xuan and others left, another group of people came.

"Yong'an County Lord."

A young man at the head said: "I am the deputy commander of the Imperial City Department, Gu Qianfan."

"Commander Gu, I wonder what you are...?"

Jiang Chen remembered that Gu Qianfan, the deputy commander of the Imperial City Division, was the male protagonist of "Meng Hua Lu".

Alas, the heroine meets the hero before she even meets him.

This is really unfortunate.

However, we must win Zhao Paner next time.

Even if he didn't come to Kaifeng Mansion, he would still go to Lin'an Mansion to get her.

"Your Majesty is worried about the safety of Yong'an County Lord, so he specifically asked me to send experts from the Imperial City Division to protect him." Gu Qianfan pointed to the middle-aged man beside him and said: "This is Dai Wei, the marriage officer of the Imperial City Division. This time he is going to Yang Kingdom. , he will lead the experts from the Imperial City Division to protect Yong’an County Lord.”

"I've met Yong'an County Lord." Dai Wei saluted Jiang Chen.

"No need to be polite. Since you are following me to Yang Country, you will follow my arrangements along the way." Jiang Chen glanced at Dai Wei.

Emperor Cheng Zhao had really many eyes.

The wood-cutting office, the general office, and now the Imperial City Department.

I don’t know if there are any more.

It seems that I have to be more careful.

Although you can kill these people with a borrowed knife, you can't do that unless you completely fall out with Emperor Cheng Zhao.

However, the people from the Imperial City Department and the Firewood Division showed up, but why didn’t the people from the General Zhang Yamen show up? Did Emperor Cheng Zhao make no arrangements, or was he doing it in the dark?

By the way, in the drama "The Son-in-law", Qin Siyuan also has a force in his hands, and Lu Hongti is a member of this force. Are they also secretly involved now?

"Mr. Yong'an County, please rest assured. Although Dai Wei and others are responsible for protecting you, they are also taking orders from you." Gu Qianfan said.

"That's good." Jiang Chen smiled. If he took Gu Qianfan's words seriously, then he would be a fool.

"Mr. Yong'an County, have a nice journey."

After Gu Qianfan left, Jiang Chen waved his hand: "Let's go."

…

The wide official road winds up along the mountain valley, and as far as the eye can see is Zhuozotong Mountain, with sparse vegetation.

Jiang Chen was riding on the horse, looking at the knights guarding him, with a smile on his lips.

Today is the fifth day since leaving Kaifeng Mansion.

On the third day after leaving Kaifeng Mansion, Jiang Chen produced 500 Alabamas from the system space in a valley.

Jiang Chen's excuse was to go to Yangguo faster, so he found someone to buy 500 horses half a month ago.

At the same time, regardless of the reactions of Zhang Hu, Li Yeye and Dai Wei, he directly assigned Alabama to five hundred guardsmen and named them Star Riders.

After configuring Alabama for the Star Cavalry, Jiang Chen used the cavalry and shooting training card.

According to Jiang Chen's estimation, it would take about a month to travel from Kaifeng Mansion to Yangguo Kuizhou, and by then his Star Rider would be fully trained.

In order to be able to lead the Xingchen Cavalry and capture their military morale, Jiang Chen stayed with the Xingchen Cavalry all the time during training.

In two days, the training effect of Xingchen Rider was obvious.

"Young Master Jiang, you can reach Luoyang Mansion after passing the mountain in front."

Zhang Hu came to Jiang Chen's side on horseback and looked at Jiang Chen with a complicated expression.

Jiang Chen formed the Star Cavalry, which he did not want to see.

According to the order he received, although he brought five hundred guards to serve as Jiang Chen's bodyguard, he had to keep these five hundred people in his hands.

He was also confident when he left the escort camp.

However, he soon realized that he had taken it for granted.

When they were at Jingxiu Villa, Jiang Chen provided generous meals.

After Wu Shiyi and the others joined, they even brought a monthly salary of ten taels of silver.

After leaving Kaifeng Mansion, Jiang Chen ate and lived with them, and now he was equipped with a war horse, which made Xingchen Rider feel identified with Jiang Chen. If this situation continues, Xingchen Cavalry will really become Jiang Chen's private army.

"So fast?" Jiang Chen thought for a while and said to Zhang Hu: "Zhang Lieutenant, please explore the way ahead. Even if we are going to Luoyang Mansion, we can't be careless."

"yes."

Zhang Hu was helpless.

Jiang Chen had hinted to him more than once, but as the captain of the escort army, even if he couldn't prevent Jiang Chen from conquering the escort army, he couldn't surrender to Jiang Chen. Therefore, Jiang Chen has been looking for excuses to avoid contact with Xingchenqi these days.

He wanted to object, but Jiang Chen was the person in charge, and he was helpless without falling out with Jiang Chen.

“Don’t overestimate your own capabilities.”

Jiang Chen looked at Zhang Hu's retreating back and sneered.

The reason why he dared to form the Star Cavalry was because he concluded that even if Emperor Cheng Zhao and Qin Siyuan knew about it, they would not do anything to him.

He had already seen this when Zhang Hu told him that these five hundred people would be his personal guards.

But think about it.

Although five hundred people was a lot, it was just a drop in the ocean for the Song Dynasty, which had a million troops. The guard army is the lowest level in the Song army. And these 500 people he brought to Yang State had no influence on Song State at all.

"Mr. Yong'an County, how did you train them?" Li Yeye rode over with curiosity in his eyes.

As a person who works at a firewood chopping place, he has come into contact with many generals in the army, and he also knows how difficult it is to train cavalry. Therefore, when Jiang Chen used 500 bodyguards to form the Star Cavalry, he felt that Jiang Chen was a fool.

However, in just two days, he changed his view of Jiang Chen.

"How did you train? Didn't you see it?" Jiang Chen looked at Li Yeye and frowned.

Zhang Hu is just ignorant of current affairs, but Li Yeye and Dai Wei are the trouble.

During this time, he had a deep understanding of how difficult Li Yeye and Li Ye were.

"Mr. Yong'an County, don't you understand what I mean?" Li Yeye looked slightly cold.

"Didn't you ask me how I trained? Haven't you seen me in the past two days? Li Yeye, who gave you the courage to question me..." Jiang Chen looked at Li Yeye coldly and said, "Don't forget Yes, you are here to protect me, not to tell me what to do."

"you."

Li Yeye's expression changed.

"Did I say something wrong?"

Jiang Chen snorted coldly, "I gave Wei Yuanhou face, but that doesn't mean I give you face. This is the last time. If there is a next time, I will kill you. At worst, let Wei Yuanhou send another person. Also, now you are just my bodyguards and you want to call me Young Master Jiang."

After saying that, Jiang Chen drove his horse and left.

Li Yeye's face turned blue and white.

At this time, Dai Wei came to Li Yeye.

"Didn't Marquis Wei Yuan tell you that he is not an ordinary person?"

"Dai Wei, what qualifications do you have to say this to me?" Li Yeye's face turned cold.

"I'm just reminding you." Dai Wei said calmly: "He formed the Star Cavalry, but there was no response from the higher ups. It was obviously acquiescence. Don't you understand the reason behind this?"

Li Yeye's expression changed.

yes.

When Jiang Chen obtained the war horses and formed the Star Cavalry, they had already reported it immediately.

At that time, it was not far from Feng Mansion. As long as the higher-ups wanted to deal with it, Jiang Chen would have solved it long ago.

"Going to Yang Country is extremely dangerous. This is to increase Jiang Chen's strength." Dai Wei is from the Imperial City Department. Although he is in competition with the Pichai Department, because he is managed by the chamberlain, he knows more information than the Pichai Department.

If others did what Jiang Chen did, they would be seeking death, but Jiang Chen was different.

…

Half a month later, Jiang Chen and others passed through Luoyang Mansion, passed Guanzhong Mansion, and arrived at Xiaoguan.

Xiaoguan is the northwest barrier of the Song Dynasty, and to the north of Xiaoguan is the Yangguo.

"Give me the order to leave the customs in three days."

Jiang Chen did not leave Xiao Guan immediately.

Xiaoguan is still in the Song Dynasty. Even if there are bandits, they don't dare to do anything blatantly, but it will be different if they leave Xiaoguan.

When Wu Shiyi went to settle down the Xingchen Cavalry, Jiang Chen found Li Yeye and Dai Wei.

"Li Yeye, Dai Wei, next I want you to arrange people to explore the road ahead." Jiang Chen got straight to the point and stated his request.

"Exploring the path?"

Li Yeye and the other two were stunned when they heard this, and Li Yeye even said: "The people in our wood-chopping place are not spies."

"I know, but there's nothing I can do about it."

Jiang Chen glanced at Li Yeye and said: "I think you also know what the purpose of my trip to Yang Kingdom is this time. Neither the other people in Yang Kingdom, nor Beiliang, nor Liao Kingdom will let us successfully arrive." We are getting married in Kuizhou, Yangguo. This is why His Majesty sent you here, so next we need to put aside our prejudices and cooperate sincerely."

"Young Master Jiang, do you think someone will really take action?" Li Yeye asked.

"Li Yeye, you are from the firewood chopping place, don't you think what you said is a bit childish?" Jiang Chen didn't believe that Li Yeye could not even think of this. If he really couldn't even think of this, then Liang Yi wouldn't send him this time.

"..." Li Yeye looked ugly.

"Young Master Jiang, we will cooperate." Dai Wei said.

"I hope so, otherwise if I die, none of you will survive."

Jiang Chen snorted coldly, turned around and left.

As for whether Li Yeye and Dai Wei would cooperate, he was not worried at all.

After a while, Jiang Chen found Wu Shiyi.

"How is Xingchenqiu doing now?" Jiang Chen asked.

"The effect is very good. Although I don't know what the elite cavalry is like, the Star Cavalry should be comparable to them." Wu Eleven had doubts in his eyes.

When she went from Yingtian Mansion to Kaifeng Mansion, Jiang Chen also taught her how to ride and shoot. She was well aware of the difficulty of riding and shooting. But the situation of Xingchenqi in the past half month broke her cognition.

“The people I picked were talented.”

There is no way to explain the riding and shooting training card, Jiang Chen can only say this.

"What happened to those people with problems?" Jiang Chen asked.

"There is no movement." Wu Shiyi knew that Jiang Chen was talking about the secret hidden in the Star Cavalry.

Of course, they found these out.

She didn't know if there were others that hadn't been found out.

"Gather them together, and then arrange for them to explore the road with Li Yeye and the others." Jiang Chen said.

"Are you looking for an opportunity to prepare to deal with them?" Wu Shiyi responded.

"right."

Jiang Chen nodded, "Also, I plan to equip the Star Riders with stab-proof clothing. What do you think?"
