Chapter 251 9 Prince's Identity
Looking around at the huge construction projects, Chen Xiu couldn't help but wonder, "Jiangzhou City is on the border. If Chen State invades, won't these buildings gradually being built outside the city be in trouble?"
How to ensure the safety of such a large project is a difficult problem.
Chen Xiu was very curious.
"Don't worry about that. Come on, I'll take you to see something else."
Jiang Zuo said, and then ordered the driver to go south.
After walking ten miles, they arrived at a newly built city.
"This fortress is located on the border and is responsible for protecting the safety of Jiangzhou City."
On the first day of arriving in Jiangzhou City, Jiang Zuo began to order people to build this satellite city to guard the safety of Jiangzhou City.
After all, Jiangzhou is located on the border between the two countries. If Chen State wants to invade, Jiangzhou will be the first to bear the brunt.
Now that the fortress has been initially built, it can keep the enemy out immediately.
Chen Xiu was a little confused. Before this, he had never heard of such a fortress near Jiangzhou City. He asked curiously, "Is this city also newly built?"
There are still some frames on the city wall that have not been removed.
Jiang Zuo nodded and said, "Yes, this fortress was built by the people of Jiangzhou after a month of hard work."
"Build a city fortress in one month?"
Chen Xiu was surprised.
Although the city in front of us seems small, its walls are so tall that it looks extremely solid at first glance.
"If it hadn't rained so often, it could have been completed much faster."
Jiang Zuo said.
A lot of money was spent on building this fortress.
But if it can preserve the development of Jiangzhou City, this investment will definitely be worth it.
When Chen Xiu heard Jiang Zuo's words, a complicated look flashed in his eyes.
It turned out that Jiang Zuo had not forgotten His Majesty's order and was really preparing a plan to deal with the State of Chen.
"It seems that I really misunderstood him before."
Chen Xiu's rather stubborn heart underwent some changes at this moment.
Thinking back on what happened in the past few days, his vigilance towards Jiang Zuo had disappeared.
It seems that the person in front of me can still be trusted.
"This city is not very solid yet. It needs to be reinforced later. Would you like to go in and inspect it, Master Jiu?"
Jiang Zuo said.
This military fortress was used exclusively to station the imperial army and keep an eye on the movements of the State of Chen.
Chen Xiu nodded, followed Jiang Zuo, and came to the city.
Looking from afar, one can even see Guangning City of Chen State. It can be used for attack or defense, and the threat it poses to Chen State is not small.
Standing on the city wall, feeling the breeze, Chen Xiu suddenly felt that Jiang Zuo had not let the emperor down at all, but rather he himself had neglected his majesty's orders.
From this point of view, it is better to confess my identity to Jiang Zuo as soon as possible.
Chen Xiu felt more conflicted.
Time passed, and after seeing everything they wanted to see, the two began their journey back to Jiangzhou City.
"It's still early, why don't we go have a drink?"
Jiang Zuo suggested in the carriage.
Chen Xiu shook his head and said, "Next time, I have something else to do later."
In fact, it was nothing big. He just went back home and wrote a letter and sent it to the capital.
"It's almost noon now. Master Jiu, do you have anything urgent to do? I was thinking of going to Xinghualou and treating you to a couple of drinks."
Jiang Zuo said calmly.
"Wei Shi?" Chen Xiu's eyes lit up, and he said calmly, "There is nothing urgent. Since you have invited me so kindly, I will accompany you."
As they were speaking, the two of them had already entered Jiangzhou City.
……
In front of the gate of Inspector Jiang's residence, there were several men in blue clothes standing.
The man in the lead walked forward and knocked on the door.
After a while, the servant came and opened the door, asking, "My lords, who are you looking for?"
"The Thousand Cavalry Division of the Capital City is looking for Patrol Envoy Jiang."
The visitor was none other than Zhang Huan, the commander of the Thousand Cavalry Division in the capital. His voice was low and his cold tone made people shudder.
Hearing the name of Qianqisi, the servant was startled and said, "Master Jiang is not in the mansion."
"Then where is Inspector Jiang?"
Zhang Huan asked again.
The servant looked a little nervous and shook his head, "I don't know either."
Zhang Huan stared into the servant's eyes, sensing his panic, and asked, "How dare you hide anything from the Thousand Cavalry Division?"
As soon as these words came out, the servant panicked and quickly leaned over to explain: "Please forgive me, sirs of the Thousand Cavalry Division. Lord Jiang left home this morning. I really don't know where he went."
The reason why the servant was panicking was because of the identity of this group of people from the Qianqi Division, and they were looking for Lord Jiang. For a moment, the servant thought that Lord Jiang had done something wrong.
After hearing what the servant said, Zhang Huan did not ask any further questions. After thinking for a moment, he seemed to remember something, and led the people behind him and walked towards the center of the city.
Lucky Flower House.
The beauty on the stage is playing a piece of music.
The Ninth Prince, who was standing in the audience, was staring blankly.
Jiang Zuo was not in the mood to listen to the music, but he knew that Jiu Ye was interested, and he just wanted to help Jiu Ye.
He had already sent people to find out everything about Shen Ruyan. If the Ninth Prince was interested, Jiang Zuo wouldn't mind helping him pursue Miss Shen.
After the song, Chen Xiu couldn't calm down for a long time.
"Master Jiu, there are too many people here and it's too noisy. Why don't we go to the private room?"
Jiang Zuo suggested.
As soon as Shen Ruyan left, Chen Xiu had no intention of staying, but he could not resist Jiang Zuo's invitation and had to follow her.
The two of them were chatting for a while when they heard someone come over and say, "Master Jiang, there are a few guests outside the door who want to see you."
"Who is he? If he has anything to say, ask him to go to the county government office to make an appointment."
Jiang Zuo said, currently busy entertaining Chen Xiu.
The messenger said, "They said they were from the capital."
"Capital?"
Hearing this, Jiang Zuo and the Ninth Prince were both shocked.
Anyone who can come here from the capital is definitely not a simple person.
Seeing this, Chen Xiu said, "Then I won't bother you any more. I'll take my leave first."
It would be embarrassing if the person from the capital knew the Ninth Prince.
But before Chen Xiu had time to leave, the guests from the capital appeared in front of everyone.
Although these people were dressed in ordinary clothes, the official could tell at a glance from their expressions that they were not ordinary people.
"Who are you guys?"
Jiang Zuo inquired. He had never seen Zhang Huan before, and it was even more impossible for him to know his identity as a member of the Thousand Cavalry Division.
Chen Xiu also looked at Zhang Huan with confusion, as he did not know this person.
"You guys should step back first."
Zhang Huan ordered.
Then, he turned his gaze to Jiang Zuo and Chen Xiu, and took out a token from his arms.
"Qianqisi!"
Chen Xiu was shocked and thought to himself that this was not good.
This is bad. Now even the Thousand Cavalry Division knows that the Ninth Prince visited a brothel...
Alas, it’s all Jiang Zuo’s fault!
The door slowly closed, and only Jiang Zuo, Chen Xiu, and Zhang Huan from the Thousand Cavalry Division were left in the room.
The rest of the Thousand Cavalry Division were already guarding outside the gate.
"I greet the Ninth Prince, Inspector Jiang."
Zhang Huan leaned forward and bowed.
As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell silent.
"Ninth Prince..."
Chen Xiu stood there in a daze.
What is supposed to come has come...
