Chapter 315: The Rapidly Advancing Northern Army
Looking at Zhu Qiyu and Zhu Gaosui sitting on the high platform, Jiang Chen walked forward slowly.
"Chen Yaowen from Yunwu Villa greets His Majesty the Emperor Ming."
After walking in front of Zhu Qiyu, Jiang Chen did not perform according to the etiquette of a minister meeting the emperor.
Instead, he faced Zhu Qiyu with the fist-clasping salute used by people in the martial arts world.
Seeing that Jiang Chen did not kneel down to salute, Zhu Gaosui, who was sitting next to Zhu Qiyu, shrank his eyes in displeasure.
Perhaps he noticed that something was wrong with his great-uncle, Zhu Qiyu spoke quickly.
"Uncle, it's alright. Brother Chen is the sworn brother of the Prime Minister."
"At the same time, he is a man of the underworld, so he doesn't have to kneel before me."
With Zhu Qiyu's persuasion, Zhu Gaosui gradually put away the dissatisfaction in his eyes.
After persuading his great uncle, Zhu Qiyu turned his head to look at Jiang Chen and said to him with a smile.
"I've long heard that Brother Wen Yao is handsome and skilled in martial arts. After seeing him today, I realize that what the Prime Minister said is true!"
Facing Zhu Qiyu's praise, Jiang Chen bowed calmly and replied.
"Your Majesty, you are too kind. I am just a commoner. No matter how good my martial arts skills are, I am still afraid of a kitchen knife."
After hearing Jiang Chen's words, Zhu Qiyu burst out laughing, and the Bai Ze brothers beside him couldn't help laughing as well.
"No matter how skilled you are in martial arts, you are still afraid of a kitchen knife. Brother Wen Yao is also an interesting person!"
Zhu Qiyu laughed for a while and then said to Jiang Chen jokingly.
"Your Majesty, since we have already met, I would like to take my leave first."
"Today's battle has given me a lot of feelings, so I want to take this opportunity to practice and prepare for the second stage of the competition tomorrow."
Jiang Chen said this, walked up to Zhu Qiyu and smiled apologetically.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Qiyu froze in place, looking at Jiang Chen in disbelief.
Those eyes seemed to want to analyze Jiang Chen thoroughly from the inside out.
As the king of a country, Zhu Qiyu never thought that someone could say such words to him!
You know, usually those who meet him try to please him in every way possible.
Now that he has arrived at Jiang Chen's place, Jiang Chen can't wait to leave!
Thinking of this, Zhu Qiyu's face couldn't help but turn ugly.
But Bai Ze, who was standing by, saw that the situation was not good, and quickly stepped forward and said to Zhu Qiyu.
"Your Majesty, I just watched the battle, but Brother Wen Yao seems a little tired."
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. After all, a duel between warriors consumes a lot of physical energy."
After Bai Ze's persuasion, Zhu Qiyu's expression eased a little.
"That's all. If that's the case, then I wish Brother Wen Yao to win first place in the next competition."
After saying that, Zhu Qiyu stood up and strode down from the spectator seats, leaving the imperial guards training ground with a group of imperial guards.
After looking Jiang Chen up and down, Zhu Gaosui jumped up and chased in the direction Zhu Qiyu left.
Only after Zhu Qiyu and Zhu Gaosui left did Bai Ze slowly breathe a sigh of relief.
"Brother Wen Yao, you scared me to death just now. How could you speak to His Majesty like that?"
"Luckily I was there. If I wasn't there, even if you had Yunwu Villa backing you up, you wouldn't be able to save your life."
Bai Ze looked at Jiang Chen helplessly, blaming Jiang Chen for his actions just now.
At this time, Bai Si on the side also came over, bowed to his elder brother, and then turned to look at Jiang Chen.
"Are you that big brother's childhood playmate?!"
"He looks pretty, but nothing special."
"I hope I can meet you in the second stage of the competition, so that I can show you how powerful our Bai family is!"
Bai Si said this while folding his hands proudly and looking at Jiang Chen.
But before Bai Si could act cool for long, Bai Ze slapped him directly on the head.
"ah--"
"Brother, what are you doing? I'm helping you teach this arrogant guy a lesson!"
"Behave yourself, Brother Wen Yao, can you defeat him?"
"Brother Wen Yao is already a master at the peak of Dark Energy. With your Dark Energy cultivation at the middle stage, don't cause any trouble for me!"
Bai Ze said this, turning around and looking at Jiang Chen with a helpless look on his face.
Jiang Chen looked at the two funny brothers and curled his lips helplessly.
"Brother Bai, if there is nothing else, I will go back first."
"Once the second stage of the competition begins tomorrow, the competition will become even more intense ."
Hearing that Jiang Chen was going back to the post station, Bai Ze did not stop him, but just nodded slowly.
"It's getting late. It's time to go back and say goodbye to Brother Wen Yao!"
Bai Ze turned around and kicked Bai Si in the butt.
After being kicked by Bai Ze, Bai Si had no choice but to walk in front of Jiang Chen with a helpless look on his face.
Then, with a look of great reluctance, he clasped his fists and bowed to Jiang Chen.
"Brother Wen Yao, see you on the competition stage tomorrow."
"Well, I hope I won't run into you tomorrow , or I'll have to teach you a lesson on behalf of your brother."
Looking at Bai Si who looked reluctant, Jiang Chen, who wanted to teach Bai Si a lesson, said with a deliberate smile.
Sure enough, upon hearing Jiang Chen's words, Bai Si's mouth twitched involuntarily.
"Then Brother Wen Yao, see you tomorrow."
Seeing that Bai Si said goodbye to Jiang Chen honestly, Bai Ze also stepped forward and bowed to Jiang Chen.
After saying goodbye to the Bai Ze brothers, Jiang Chen left the Imperial Army training ground with ten personal guards.
After picking up the carriage, he got on it and returned to the post station.
Inside the post station, Li Yuanyi was guarding outside Su Qingcheng's room, waiting for Jiang Chen's return.
Soon, Jiang Chen appeared in front of Li Yuanyi.
Seeing Jiang Chen coming back, Li Yuanyi hurriedly pulled Jiang Chen into Jiang Chen's room.
Seeing Li Yuanyi's anxious look, Jiang Chen asked with some confusion.
"Li Yuanyi, what are you doing? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Facing Jiang Chen's puzzled look, Li Yuanyi carefully took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Jiang Chen.
"My Lord, this is an urgent letter that Ant Nest just sent."
"They said they would give it to you as soon as you come back."
After hearing this, Jiang Chen took the letter from Li Yuanyi, opened the envelope and started reading.
As he watched, the corners of Jiang Chen's mouth slightly raised.
"Hahaha, these guys are really quick."
"So fast, we are almost reaching Shanfu County near Chunning City."
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Li Yuanyi on the side also seemed somewhat happy and asked.
"My lord, is there any news about General Du and the others?"
In response to Li Yuanyi's question, Jiang Chen nodded and replied with a smile.
"Well, they are very quick and have already attacked Shanfu County."
"According to their current speed, they will probably be able to reach Chunning City in less than half a month."
