Poor Family: I reached the top by marrying a wife

Chapter 746: Can the Royal Guards stop the sky?

"Lord Jiang! Welcome back to Jinling!"

Just as Jiang Chen entered the city, the head of the Lu family ran out excitedly!

Jiang Chen also smiled when he saw the head of the Lu family.

"Master Lu, long time no see, long time no see!"

Jiang Weiguo didn't dare to be too presumptuous towards the head of the Lu family!

After all, this is a ruthless man who can even attack his own son!

As the saying goes, even a tiger won’t eat its own cubs!

And Patriarch Lu could even kill his own son, so what else could he not do! ?

"Lord Jiang, thank you for coming to save us!"

"I will host a banquet tomorrow to entertain Lord Jiang!"

Patriarch Lu said this with a respectful look on his face.

Patriarch Lu doesn’t dare to offend Jiang Chen!

"Haha, there's no need for a banquet. I'm going to move on tomorrow!"

"I'm leaving Jinling." Jiang Chen refused with a smile.

The Eighth Wise King may react soon and attack Jiangnan!

So Jiang Chen must speed up!

We can’t give the Eighth Wise King a chance!

"In that case, I will not hinder the Marquis's important business!"

The head of the Lu family smiled and did not force it.

After chatting with the head of the Lu family for a few words, Jiang Chen came to the Jinling government office.

At this time, the Jinling government office was filled with people from all levels who had surrendered.

After entering the Jinling government office, everyone stood in the hall, not daring to say a word.

"Generals, please don't be so reserved. Please take a seat."

Jiang Chen looked at the nervous expressions of the crowd and hurriedly invited them to sit down.

"Thank you, Lord Marquis!"

Everyone sat down after hearing Jiang Chen's invitation.

After everyone was seated, Jiang Chen asked with a smile: "Generals, how many troops do Suzhou and Yangzhou have?"

"Your Majesty! Suzhou and Yangzhou each have 5,000 soldiers, but half of them are new recruits, and their combat effectiveness is very average!"

"If the Marquis wants to recapture these two counties, we are willing to serve as your vanguard!"

"We are willing to be the vanguard!"

As one general spoke, the others hurriedly followed suit.

……

Jiang Chen saw this scene and nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, since you generals are willing to fight, I agree!"

"I believe that with you here, we can retake these two places without fighting!"

"Generals, please go back and rest. Tomorrow morning, please gather your troops and set out with me!"

"I will obey your orders!"

When everyone heard Jiang Chen's words, they all obeyed his orders!

But after everyone left, Han Peng and Xu Meng became a little worried.

"My Lord, do you trust them like this?"

"What if they have bad intentions secretly?" Han Peng said with a frown.

"Yes, Lord Marquis, you should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others!"

"You can't be careless!"

Xu Meng also looked worried.

"I understand the good intentions of the two generals."

"But, trust the people you employ, and don't employ the people you doubt!"

"Since these generals have surrendered to us, we must give them a chance!"

"What's more, if they have bad intentions, they can just do it when we enter the city! Jiang Chen persuaded the two of them.

He might not believe other generals, but Jiang Chen still believed those generals from Jiangnan!

Seeing that persuasion was fruitless, Han Peng and Xu Meng said nothing more and left.

However, when Jiang Chen was resting at night, the number of guards at the door increased.

At the same time, Young Master Yang had already escaped from Jinling by water!

……

He sat on the small boat, looking at Jinling behind him, his eyes full of pride!

"Humph! Fortunately, we ran fast, otherwise... we would have fallen into Jiang Chen's hands again!"

"Sir, you are absolutely right!"

"That Jiang Chen is really amazing. He actually took down Jinling without any soldiers!"

"If we had been a step later, we would have been in danger!" Qi Ru flattered Master Yang.

"Jiang Chen!"

Young Master Yang was thinking about Jiang Chen, his eyes filled with murderous intent!

"One day, sooner or later, I will kill Jiang Chen!"

"must!"

"Sir, I heard that Miss Suzhou!"

"I heard that after Jiang Chen arrives in Suzhou, will he deal with her?" Qi Ru suddenly said.

"Haha, Jiang Chen better kill her! Help us get rid of a big enemy!"

Young Master Yang smiled coldly.

His sister tried to kill him.

Now he has taken over his place and taken away everything from him!

Sooner or later, he would let the other party know how powerful he is!

The next morning, Jiang Chen led his men to Yangzhou early.

But Nanjing is far from Yangzhou, and it takes the army two days to march there!

These two days should be enough for the Eighth Wise King to reach the Jiangnan border.

After all, the area of ​​Yanzhou is much smaller than that of Jiangnan.

"Mr. Yan, do you think the Eighth Wise King can defeat those one thousand guards?" Jiang Chen asked Yan Youling.

Yan Youling heard Jiang Chen's words and said in a deep voice: "My Lord, if the Eighth Sage King finds out that there are 10,000 guards guarding the gate of Jiangnan, he will definitely attack with all his strength!"

"I'm afraid those 10,000 guards are no match for us."

"If they can hold out for ten days, that's pretty good."

Jiang Chen nodded upon hearing this.

……

Jiang Chen agreed with Yan Youling's guess.

Although the Royal Guards are powerful, they only have 10,000 people after all!

And they are not as familiar with the terrain as the Eight Wise Kings and their men.

The Eight Wise Kings had more than 30,000 men.

In addition, they are familiar with the terrain, so if they attack with all their strength, the Guards... will definitely not be able to withstand it!

But when Han Peng heard Yan Youling's words, he looked dissatisfied!

"Mr. Yan, you look down on our Imperial Guards!"

"We, the Royal Guards, are the elite among the elite!"

"Ten days, no problem!"

"Even if it's fifteen days, there's no problem!"

Yan Youling heard Han Peng's words and smiled faintly: "Commander Han, please don't misunderstand me. I don't mean to look down on the Imperial Guards at all."

"It's just that the Eight Wise Kings are so numerous that I can only make the worst guess."

"Humph!"

When Han Peng heard Yan Youling's words, he snorted coldly and said nothing more.

But Han Peng was actually doing this for Jiang Chen's sake.

If it weren't for Jiang Chen's consideration, he would have dealt with Yan Youling long ago!

How despicable that they dared to look down on their Royal Guards!

Jiang Chen looked at Han Peng and shook his head helplessly.

He also hoped that the Royal Guards could hold back the Eighth Wise King for fifteen days.

But I guess the Guards can't do it.

After a day's march, everyone set up camp.

But when everyone was resting and eating dry food, Yan Youling came to Jiang Chen.

"Mr. Yan, what's up?"

Jiang Chen saw Yan Youling staring at him and couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Lord Jiang, I'm very curious, how did you pray for rain in Jiangnan?"

"You know, Jiangnan was in the midst of a drought at the time."

"And Lord Jiang gave an order, and it rained heavily in the south of the Yangtze River for three consecutive days!"

"Could it be that Lord Jiang, you are really the reincarnation of a real dragon as the outside world has said, and that you can command the gods in heaven?"
