Chapter 302 Arrival at the Northern Ming Capital
After confirming Jiang Chen's "identity", Bai Ze excitedly took Jiang Chen to chat and laugh all the way.
However, whenever Bai Ze talked about their childhood , Jiang Chen would smile and agree.
"You still remember these childhood things. I'm almost forgetting them."
However, it was this point that Bai Ze, who had always been extremely shrewd, did not notice.
But Wang Guoan on the side kept looking at Jiang Chen vigilantly and was still suspicious of Jiang Chen's identity.
After three days of living together in the open air, they finally arrived at the capital of Northern Ming.
Looking at Chunning City, the capital of Northern Ming Dynasty, which is not inferior to the former capital of Ming Dynasty, Bai Ze said to Jiang Chen with great pride .
"Brother Wen Yao, this is the capital city that I helped Emperor Ming rebuild!"
"How is it? Compared to that Jibei City in the northern border, isn't it much different?"
Hearing Bai Ze compare Chunning City with Jibei City, Jiang Chen almost couldn't help laughing.
Although Chunning City is quite lively , it is nothing compared to the current Jibei City!
Jibei City has long become a prosperous metropolis under Jiang Chen's management in recent years.
If we must compare Jibei City and Chunning City...
One is a prosperous urban area and the other is an urban-rural fringe.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen could only nod in agreement.
"Brother Bai, this Chunning City is really good. It really opened my eyes."
Seeing that his achievements were "recognized" by Jiang Chen, Bai Ze became even more excited.
After accompanying Jiang Chen and his party to the post station, Wang Guoan rode his horse to Bai Ze's side.
After bowing to Bai Ze with a serious expression, he began to speak.
"Master Prime Minister, it's time for us to go to the palace to see the emperor."
"Someone has come from the palace and wants you to come in and see His Majesty right now."
After hearing what Wang Guoan said, Bai Ze's expression became serious.
"Brother Wen Yao, I have something urgent to do, so I'll leave now."
"I'll come visit you again when I finish what I'm doing."
Bai Ze said this and smiled apologetically at Jiang Chen.
"It's okay. If you have urgent matters, go and do them first. I also have to prepare for the martial arts conference."
Jiang Chen waved his hand nonchalantly and said to Bai Ze.
After Bai Ze exchanged a few more words with Jiang Chen, he turned around and headed towards the palace with Wang Guoan.
However, before leaving, Bai Ze still gave some instructions to the manager of the post station with some concern.
"This is the distinguished guest of this Prime Minister. Please take good care of him."
"If you dare to neglect this Prime Minister's distinguished guest, watch out for your heads!"
Faced with the instructions from Prime Minister Bai Ze, the manager of the post station naturally did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.
After Bai Ze left, the manager of the post station quickly prepared a good guest room for Jiang Chen.
"Sir, please follow me, the room is ready."
"Don't worry, this is definitely the best room in our inn!"
The manager of the post station spoke to Jiang Chen in a flattering manner and made a gesture of invitation.
Under the guidance of the station manager, Jiang Chen followed him into the room.
I have to say that the manager of this post station is quite capable.
Not only did he arrange the best room for Jiang Chen, but he also left a silver note in an inconspicuous place on the table.
Looking at the amount on the banknote, Jiang Chen put the banknote into his arms without saying a word.
Then he smiled knowingly at the station manager, patted him on the shoulder and said.
"I understand what you mean, don't worry!"
"When Brother Bai comes back, I will speak well of you in front of him."
Seeing Jiang Chen say this, the station manager smiled even more happily.
"Thank you very much, sir. I will take my leave now."
After bowing respectfully to Jiang Chen, the station manager retreated excitedly.
After the station manager left, Su Qingcheng at the side couldn't help but said to Jiang Chen with a smile.
"Sir, this guy is quite interesting."
"If he knew your true identity, I wonder if he would still be so happy."
After hearing what Su Qingcheng said, Jiang Chen turned around with a wicked smile and hugged her in his arms.
"Oh, little girl, you are getting braver and braver now."
"Since I dare to tease even your son, it seems that I should find a time to punish you."
After hearing Jiang Chen's words, Su Qingcheng's face instantly turned red.
After pushing Jiang Chen away, he immediately hid aside.
"Sir, can't you be more serious?"
Looking at Su Qingcheng who was so shy, Jiang Chen burst into laughter.
On the other side, after saying goodbye to Jiang Chen, Bai Ze and Wang Guoan came to the Beiming Palace together.
After arriving outside Zhu Qiyu's imperial study, Bai Ze dusted off the dust on his body.
Then, he fell to his knees with a plop and hit the ground with his right fist.
"I, your humble servant Bai Ze, come here on the orders of Your Majesty to pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
After hearing Bai Ze's voice, Zhu Qiyu in the imperial study put down the memorial in his hand.
After putting away the memorial, Zhu Qiyu nodded to the eunuch in charge beside him.
Upon seeing this, the eunuch in charge turned around and walked out of the imperial study.
Standing at the door of the imperial study, he shouted loudly in that shrill voice.
"Your Majesty has ordered that Prime Minister Bai Ze come to the audience !"
"Why are you still kneeling, Prime Minister Bai? Get up and go in to see His Majesty."
After conveying Zhu Qiyu's order, the eunuch in charge continued to speak to Bai Ze.
"Your humble servant Bai Ze, I accept your order."
After listening to the words of the eunuch in charge, Bai Ze stood up.
After brushing off the dust on his body again, Bai Ze followed the eunuch in charge into the imperial study.
Seeing Bai Ze coming in, Zhu Qiyu, who was wearing a dragon robe, stood up with a smile.
"Prime Minister Bai, you are finally back."
"If you don't come back, I really don't know what to do."
As Zhu Qiyu spoke, he personally helped Bai Ze up.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. It took me a lot of trouble to come back."
"But thanks to your majesty, I am back."
Bai Ze smiled flattered and said to Zhu Qiyu with a smile.
After hearing Bai Ze's words, Zhu Qiyu's expression changed instantly.
Under Bai Ze's gaze, Zhu Qiyu turned around with a gloomy face and questioned Wang Guoan who was standing beside him.
"Wang Guoan, I want to ask you about your journey to escort the Prime Minister back."
"But what kind of accidents did you encounter?!"
Facing Zhu Qiyu's questioning, Wang Guoan immediately knocked his head to the ground with his body trembling.
Then, he answered Zhu Qiyu loudly.
"Your Majesty, I am here to escort the Prime Minister back home."
"We encountered several groups of assassins disguised as bandits, but I didn't let the Prime Minister get hurt at all!"
After hearing Wang Guoan's answer, Zhu Qiyu calmed down a little.
"Well done, for your contribution in escorting Prime Minister Bai."
"I will not hold you responsible for the loss of Xianghong County for now!"
