As night falls, the moonlight is blocked by thick clouds.
The black-armored army walked in front, followed closely by Jiang Chen and Jiang Zhi, walking on the path of the palace.
The palace walls on both sides are tall and cold, as if they are the guardians of the palace, silently guarding the hidden secrets. Their very existence gives people a sense of oppression, making people afraid to approach them easily.
Time seemed to freeze and the air seemed heavy.
Jiang Chen didn't care, the last time was much scarier than this.
On the contrary, Jiang Zhi beside him was shivering all the way.
It wasn't until he got into the carriage that his mood seemed to calm down.
Indeed, in an enemy country, especially in front of guards of the level of the Black Armored Army, as a civil servant, naturally he cannot stand the faint murderous intent.
Jiang Zhi forced a smile on his face.
"I didn't expect that our relationship with Young Master Jiang is quite close."
"Haha, I didn't expect that either."
Jiang Chen doesn't want this so-called fate.
It’s simply a bad fate!
The carriage swayed slightly, and the wheels rolled across the road, making a slight crunching sound. The copper bell on the shaft made a crisp sound from time to time, like some tiny notes dotted in the silent air.
The surrounding air seemed to have solidified, without a trace of wind or sound.
It was as if the whole world had slowed down and only this carriage existed in this peaceful space.
The car was surprisingly quiet. Jiang Zhi looked at Jiang Chen and hesitated to speak.
"Master Jiang, do you have something to say?"
"Mr. Jiang, can you please come and sit at my place?"
Jiang Zhi seemed to have made up his mind and extended an invitation to Jiang Chen.
Seeing his determined look, it aroused Jiang Chen's curiosity.
What is so important about this old man that he has such an expression, as if he is parting from life or death?
"That's good. I happened to go see Mr. Yan. I wonder how his health is recovering."
Hearing his words, Jiang Zhi's smile obviously faltered, but then he covered it up.
It seems that things can no longer be hidden after all!
He smiled bitterly, "Master Jiang really knows everything."
"Isn't it the same for Mr. Jiang?"
The two looked at each other and smiled, but did not continue talking.
In a courtyard of Honglu Temple.
Jiang Chen followed Jiang Zhi's footsteps and came to the house.
"Master Jiang, please do as you please."
"I didn't expect Mr. Jiang to be so simple."
Although it is a room arranged by Honglu Temple, there are no other unnecessary decorations except some simple furnishings.
It was quite consistent with Jiang Zhi's usual behavior.
Breeze on both sleeves.
“When you are away from home, keep everything simple.”
"Master Jiang, if you have anything to say, please just say it."
Seeing Jiang Zhi's busy figure, bringing pastries and tea, Jiang Chen couldn't help but say.
As the saying goes, you can’t hit someone with a smiling face.
If you keep doing this, I'll be really embarrassed to refuse.
"Don't worry, you can return to Beixia safely."
"That's not it."
"Um?"
Jiang Chen was a little confused and looked at Jiang Zhi in surprise.
This old man doesn’t have any quirks, does he?
"I have no intention of returning alive during this trip." Jiang Zhi's voice was full of indifference.
His expression was also terrifyingly calm, like the surface of a dead lake.
"Master Jiang, are you worried that Jingguo will embarrass you?"
"Yes and no."
Jiang Zhi said ambiguously.
However, Jiang Chen somewhat understood the meaning.
I guess because of the war between Northern Xia and the Yueshi, the country was not very peaceful.
He came this time just to take orders in the face of danger.
The danger faced not only came from Jingguo, but also from Yuezhi and Northern Xia.
Some people don't want them to go back alive, and they don't want their marriage to be successful this time.
The only thing I could think of was the palace maid who was on the verge of collapse after being fucked by Bai Buhui.
"Don't mention that."
"After leaving Shangjing, I hope Mr. Jiang can take good care of Wenya."
"That crazy woman?"
Jiang Chen blurted out subconsciously, but then he realized what he said and quickly changed his words.
"Princess is still very lively."
Jiang Zhi didn't pay much attention to Jiang Chen's words.
Because he could see that although Jiang Chen said this, he had never done anything excessive to Xuanyuan Wenya.
"Wenya is a little out of touch and still has a childish nature, but her nature is not bad, otherwise she would not be chosen as the marriage partner this time."
"well!"
As he spoke, Jiang Zhi sighed softly.
Obviously, he has a special kind of love for Xuanyuan Wenya, and it is not as simple as it seems on the surface.
Thinking about it, Jiang Zhi could agree to exchange a princess for news that may no longer exist.
Normal people really can't do this.
"Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite. This is the case in Jingguo, the same is true for Yuezhi, and the same is true for Xia."
"Master Jiang seems to have something in his words."
Jiang Zhi stared at Jiang Chen and spoke slowly, "I know that Mr. Jiang is a smart man, but there is one thing I don't understand."
"But there's no harm in talking."
"Why do you want to get involved in court affairs? Wouldn't it be better to be a free doctor in peace and quiet?"
good question!
What the hell are you asking me?
I want to know too!
I've been facing either the emperor or the princess all day long. I'm tired of aesthetics.
And these people are also moody guys.
If someone is not careful, it is a trivial matter to be chopped down.
It's all because of that bad old man Han Lu, who didn't go to college for nothing.
It's good now, but it won't work if I don't go.
"Just like Mr. Jiang, there is no one who has something to hide." Jiang Chen spread his hands.
"Actually, even if Wenya stays in Xia Country, I'm afraid she won't have a good life."
"No, there is still Yan Hong. They are childhood sweethearts."
Jiang Chen interrupted.
He was a little curious, could it be that the son of the dignified Northern Xia general couldn't protect Xuanyuan Wenya.
With Yan Potian's achievements, it would be appropriate for the Emperor of Northern Xia to marry his son to a princess.
"But Yan Hong and his father do not belong to the same faction."
"What's the meaning?"
Jiang Chen couldn't help but become curious.
"Infighting!"
"Okay, stop talking." Jiang Chen quickly stretched out a hand to stop him, "Pull him down, I don't like hearing stories like this."
"Master Jiang is also very humorous."
Jiang Zhi showed a faint smile, "Since I told you this, I believe you."
"I hope you will take care of Wenya even more."
There was a hint of determination in his words.
"Xuanyuan Wenya will be the emperor's concubine from now on. I have no official position. How can He De protect her? You think too highly of me."
"Wenya Tiao's personality is not suitable for the palace. Sooner or later, she will be in big trouble. I just want to save her life when it comes to life and death."
Jiang Zhi said and stood up, about to kneel down to Jiang Chen.
what the hell!
Not to not to not to.
I'm afraid your life will be shortened if you kneel down. I still want to live a few more years.
Jiang Chen quickly supported him.
"Master Jiang, although I don't know why you believe in me so much, I will do my best."
"Thank you, thank you very much."
It can be heard that Jiang Zhi's voice is trembling at this time.
It seems that I finally let go of a big stone in my heart.
"Don't worry, Mr. Jiang, I promise you can, but you also have to do me a favor."
"Master Jiang, please tell me, as long as it does not involve the political affairs of the two countries, I will do my best with my old and broken body."
Jiang Zhi's words were resounding.
But he was still defending the country that pushed him and Xuanyuan Wenya into the pit of fire.
Perhaps this is a model of loyalty and virtue!
