Chapter 461: The 3rd Prince of the Grassland
Chapter 461: The 3rd Prince of the Grassland
At the end of the road, Zhang San was staggering out with a group of brothers.
Jiang Chen took a quick look and realized that these people must have had a hangover last night and were still not sober today!
This... Zhang San, could it be that he took these people with his money to go out for a drink? ?
When Jiang Chen thought of this, his face became extremely ugly!
Logically speaking, General Luo shouldn't cheat him!
But Zhang San and others...
Jiang Chen looked at these people and could not associate them with the word "elite" no matter what.
"My Lord, we...we are not late, right?"
"When are we leaving!"
After Zhang San saw Jiang Chen, he asked with a thick tongue.
"This is the Marquis! He is indeed a handsome man!"
"Hehehe, it's so clean, I don't know...how it will fight!"
"He must be good, otherwise...how could the general be interested in him!"
"It should be... it should be like this, there is nothing wrong..."
Everyone was talking in a daze.
When Jiang Chen heard these words, he was completely speechless.
"Brother Zhang, you guys drank quite a bit of wine, you probably haven't sobered up yet, right?"
"How about this, you guys don't go today, we'll go first, slow down on the road, and wait for you?"
"Your Majesty, there is no need to do this. Drinking is a common thing for us!"
"Even if he's drunk, we can still protect the Marquis!"
"No...that's right!"
Zhang San and the others said staggeringly.
"I……"
Jiang Chen wanted to cry but had no tears. He really didn't want to take these people with him.
If we take these people with us, we may not get into any trouble on the road!
But, thinking of General Luo... Jiang Chen finally gave in!
"Okay, let's set off!"
……
Following Jiang Chen's order, everyone mounted their horses.
Zhang San and his group also mounted their horses and followed Jiang Chen's team.
Along the way, Jiang Chen kept looking back.
He was really afraid that these people would accidentally fall off their horses.
That... would be a lot of fun!
However, what made Jiang Chen feel relieved was that these people's riding skills were pretty good and this situation did not occur, otherwise... Jiang Chen really didn't know what to do!
As Jiang Chen set off, several pieces of news spread out in the capital of Dajing.
Among them, the routes of several messages were the same as those of Jiang Chen and his team, but those messages were transmitted faster!
Five days later, at the grassland border.
In a tent, a young man was eating mutton and drinking wine.
"This Dajing is simply too rampant!"
"How dare you refuse our request to borrow food?"
"Do they really think that we can't do anything to them after they take back these three cities?!"
As the man spoke, he wiped his mouth with his grease-covered sleeve.
"Third Prince, Dajing has already sent an envoy. They will definitely not dare to fight us."
"What's more, there are people in the Dajing court who speak for us, so... food should not be a problem!" A grassland official heard the man complaining and hurriedly tried to persuade him.
Because that man was none other than the son of the Lord of the Grassland!
Now, he is one of the princes in the grassland who is most likely to inherit the throne!
"Humph! In my opinion, this Dajing deserves a beating!"
"What General Luo? I can definitely kill them!"
“Nowadays, we not only have saddles and stirrups, but also horseshoes!”
"We even have catapults. Taking over cities will be no problem for us!"
"And that useless Dajing will be defeated by us sooner or later!"
……
The third prince said arrogantly.
Ever since the trebuchet appeared on the grassland, the grassland's ambitions have begun to grow rapidly.
Before, it might be difficult for them to attack the city!
But now that they have catapults, they are no longer afraid of attacking cities!
And this is also the reason why Jiang Chen was angry when he learned that the catapult fell into the hands of the grassland people!
Originally, the people of the grassland were not good at attacking cities.
But Dajing was so good that it gave its best siege equipment to the grassland!
Isn't that courting death?!
"Report!"
"Report to Your Highness! The latest news from Dajing!"
Just at this moment, a messenger rushed in!
"What news? Tell me!"
The third prince said nonchalantly.
"Your Highness! News has come from the capital of Dajing. Dajing has sent a new envoy to negotiate with us!"
"And this envoy... is none other than the Marquis of Jinchuan County of Dajing, Jiang Chen!"
"Who are you!?"
When the third prince heard the messenger's words, he stood up immediately!
"Your Highness, the latest envoy from Dajing is the Marquis of Jinchuan County, Jiang Chen!"
"That's the guy who made the trebuchet, the stirrup, and other things!"
The messenger said respectfully.
"Hahaha! Good!"
"it is good!"
The third prince laughed out loud upon hearing this!
“This is really God’s help!”
"It's ok that Jiang Chen helped Dajing seize three cities from our grassland, but now he dares to come to our grassland as an envoy!"
"He's dead!"
"I must kill him and use his head to sacrifice to the Wolf God!"
"Hahahaha!"
The Third Prince seemed to have seen the scene of himself chopping off Jiang Chen’s head!
……
However, the staff following the Third Prince hurriedly stopped him and said, "Your Highness, don't be impulsive!"
"As the saying goes, when two armies are at war, no messenger should be killed!"
"Besides, we are not fighting Dajing now!"
"Jiang Chen is still the envoy of Dajing. If we kill him..."
"I don't care about this!"
The Third Prince interrupted his staff and said coldly: "Jiang Chen took away our city, he must die!"
"There's no need to talk about this!"
"This……"
The staff looked helpless.
But he really couldn't stop the third prince.
The maternal clan of the third prince is one of the most powerful tribes on the grassland!
Who dares to be arrogant with him! ?
On the other side, in Cangyuan City, General Luo looked at the letter in his hand and was extremely angry!
"Dark Lord!"
"Hunjun!"
"How can we let Jiang Chen come to the grassland!?"
"Those grassland people now hate him to the core!"
"If Jiang Chen comes, how can the grassland negotiate peacefully?!"
"This tyrant!"
"Godfather, what do you mean?"
"The imperial court sent Jiang Chen to the grassland as an envoy?" When Marquis Jian'an heard what General Luo said, he was also stunned!
"Not bad!"
"I received a letter from Lao Wu, saying that His Majesty has conferred the title of Marquis of Jinchuan County on Jiang Chen, and ordered him to come to the grassland for negotiations!"
"Now... now what should we do about this matter?"
"Ugh!"
General Luo gritted his teeth in anger!
If he knew who came up with this idea, he would definitely kill the other person!
This must be because the other party hates Jiang Chen to death!
After taking the letter from General Luo and reading it, Marquis Jian'an shook his head helplessly: "Foster father, you don't have to be too angry!"
"Look, it's written in this letter that Jiang Chen is in crisis now, so coming to the grassland... maybe it's a good thing!"
