After breakfast, the team continued on their way.
Xiao Chen didn't waste too much time and finally arrived at Jiangdong Road half a month later.
From Jiangdong to the sea, the fish industry here is very rich.
Walking to the street, there are sounds of shouting and selling everywhere, and all kinds of seafood emerge in endlessly.
Ji Hongluan's eyes lit up: "What kind of fish is this? It looks so red and special!"
"And this one, like a star, so beautiful."
"This one is round and full of thorns. Can it be eaten?"
Just like when Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden, Ji Hongluan never stopped for a single lesson.
Yuluo also looked curiously. Along the way, the relationship between the two has eased a lot.
The two were holding hands, but Xiao Chen seemed a bit like an outsider.
While they looked at Xiao Chen curiously, they explained, what about eastern star spots, sea urchins, starfish, hairy crabs...
"Sir, how do you know these things?"
Yu Luo looked at him curiously with her eyes wide open.
Ever since I found out that he was not a eunuch, my heart had been getting closer and closer to him inexplicably.
Xiao Chen is a real man. He not only takes the initiative to lead troops to fight, but also has a knowledgeable attitude towards all kinds of things.
Who wouldn't love a man who is knowledgeable and capable?
Xiao Chen couldn't help but flick her head: "What's so strange about these, you can find out if you read more."
"What's more, I've been to Jiangdong Road before."
Yuluo rubbed her forehead, but she looked confused: Is this what is written in the book?
They continued walking forward, and the main city of Jiangdong Road was quite lively.
After walking out of this lively area, Xiao Chen took out a map in his hand.
This is a topographic map given to him by Jin Chengzhong on the way to Jiangdong Road.
As we walked all the way, we saw the vast expanse of sea ahead, surrounded by mist, and the vast flat land to the side. Not far from the flat land, there was a looming small village.
"That's it, everyone speed up."
Following Xiao Chen's footsteps, we arrived at the small village, which seemed very quiet.
But there was something strangely quiet about it, and there was a creepy feeling in it.
Just as they were gradually getting deeper, a group of people suddenly poured out from all directions and surrounded them.
Those people held long knives and looked at Xiao Chen and the others warily.
Xiao Chen raised the corner of his mouth slightly and replied simply: "Of course it's one of our own!"
These people are very vigilant, so what evidence do you have? "Even as he spoke, he still held the knife in his hand tightly."
Xiao Chen rubbed his temples rather bitterly, "Where is Jin Chengzhong?"
"You actually know our commander?"
"You are wearing the clothes of the Great Chu court. It seems that you were sent by the dog emperor!"
In their impression, Chu Yanwu left the palace because his identity was exposed and he had no choice but to do so.
And Xiao Chen, who came on behalf of Chu Yanwu, must have come to eradicate the roots and hunt him down.
"Brothers, it is better to kill them by mistake than to let them go. Kill them!"
Xiao Chen frowned slightly.
For a moment, I didn't know whether to say that Jin Chengzhong's training was good or too rigid. These people are really incompetent!
"Everyone, stop, this is really one of our own!"
There was a sound of scolding, and Jin Chengzhong, wearing armor, was seen striding over.
Although he is sixty years old and has gray hair and beard, the raging aura he exudes still makes people feel intimidating.
This is the aura of the commander of the imperial guards. He is completely different from the desolate Jin Chengzhong he saw before!
I saw him take two steps forward and kneel directly in front of Xiao Chen: "House!"
Xiao Chen shook his head slightly, he understood the reform in his heart: "Welcome, Master, you are finally here."
Many of the Dongchang people behind him were Chen Jin's informants.
Although he is far away from the palace, he does not intend to be exposed easily now. After all, there are still people worth worrying about in the imperial city.
If you want to do things calmly, you must deal with those people first.
Xiao Chen winked: "Where are the Japanese talents making trouble now?"
Jin Chengzhong shrugged: "We can't stir up trouble now. Before we come down, we have already cleared Jiangdong Island today."
"Although they have not been completely eliminated, they are still being kept away and will not dare to attack rashly for a while."
No wonder, what I saw when I came was a very harmonious scene.
The Japanese are the best at burning, killing and looting. Now that they have entered Da Chu's territory, they will definitely not give up.
He patted Jin Chengzhong on the shoulder: "Not bad, good job!"
Jin Chengzhong said quickly: "Master, you need to grow your strength as soon as possible so that you have the capital to fight against them."
Xiao Chen sighed lightly and looked at the people in the village: "Are these all your people?"
After getting the affirmative answer, Xiao Chen was still a little depressed.
If you want to confront Chu Yanwu and achieve the goal of restoring the country, you must show stronger strength.
Even if there were his own people plus his, there were only a few hundred.
Achieving great things is still an unattainable dream.
Seemingly sensing Xiao Chen's concerns, Jin Chengzhong hurriedly said: "Master, you put the people first."
"Those who win the hearts and minds of the people win the world; those who do not win the hearts of the people will lose the world."
As the commander of the royal guards, he still has some knowledge.
This sentence instantly awakened Xiao Chen, "Well said, I understand what to do!"
Although he has never been a prince for a day, he still understands the principles.
"Now let's go get some rest."
Although this village is a bit crude, it overall looks very good.
Everyone who came with Xiao Chen can arrange to rest.
Yu Luo and Ji Hongluan followed him and discussed the next plan with Jin Chengzhong.
In a simple and slightly empty thatched hut, Jin Chengzhong poured a few cups of hot tea for them.
Ji Hongluan was holding the cup, but found that there were cracks on the teacup and it looked shabby.
Jin Chengzhong looked a little embarrassed: "Don't dislike it. According to the current situation, there are no conditions."
Xiao Chen didn't hesitate to drink from the crack.
He knew that the road to restoration was long and difficult. Now that he had made this choice, he had made clear preparations.
He breathed a long sigh of relief and spoke first: "If we want the plan to proceed smoothly, we must first deal with the gang of people who came with me."
Xiao Chen took out a list: "These were prepared by Xiang Yichun for me, but whether he is involved with Chen Jin or is not a trustworthy person, they are all listed on it."
"I would rather kill him by mistake than let him go. I'll bother you to do it later."
Xiang Yichun added the list so that he could rest assured, "You can rest assured when my subordinates are working!"
He looked at the two women, Yu Luo and Ji Hongluan.
Yuluo understood in her heart: "My slave, go out first."
Looking at Ji Hongluan again, she was still a little unhappy, but was finally pulled out by Yu Luo.
