Chapter 334: The Insidious Old Man
Chapter 334: The Insidious Old Man
Jiang Chen briefly recounted what happened on the border battlefield.
What he focused on was how he went to the border battlefield.
"Haha, so you originally just wanted to save people, but you didn't expect that you would accidentally make military achievements and be awarded a title of nobility?" Eunuch Zhang said with a faint smile after hearing Jiang Chen's story.
"This... is indeed the case!" Jiang Chen said with a stiff face.
This is because the word Versailles does not exist in this era, otherwise... Eunuch Zhang would definitely give this word to Jiang Chen!
However, even without this word, the look in Eunuch Zhang's eyes when he looked at Jiang Chen was full of disgust!
This Jiang Chen is really a bit arrogant!
Accidentally became a marquis?
Does he know how many generals in Dajing dream of becoming a marquis every day?
"Jiang Chen, you really surprised me!"
"From honeycomb charcoal at the beginning, to medical skills, to leading troops in battle and making siege equipment!"
"Father really wants to know, is there anything else that you don't know how to do?"
Eunuch Zhang looked at Jiang Chen with a smile on his face.
Jiang Chen said awkwardly: "Foster father, those are just my random thoughts, you..."
"Okay, if you don't want to talk about it, I won't ask!"
"This time I came here, in addition to delivering the imperial edict to confer you the title of Marquis, I also have something to discuss with you."
"The first thing is the matter of honeycomb charcoal!"
"Honeycomb charcoal? What's going on...?"
Jiang Chen was confused when he heard what Eunuch Zhang said.
Honeycomb charcoal, isn’t it running very well nowadays?
Why did Eunuch Zhang suddenly bring up this matter?
Could it be that Eunuch Zhang wants to get into the honeycomb charcoal business?
Jiang Chen was not reluctant, but he had just conquered the market in Luzhou County...
……
"Don't be nervous. You did a great job with the honeycomb charcoal. Even better than I thought."
"I came here this time to get 50% of the profits from the honeycomb charcoal!"
"You... don't have any objections?"
Eunuch Zhang smiled faintly when he saw Jiang Chen's nervous look.
"No no!"
"Foster father, you know, that honeycomb charcoal is presented to you by me. If you want 50% of the profits from the honeycomb charcoal, I have absolutely no objection!"
Jiang Chen said with a smile on his face.
Eunuch Zhang only wants 50% of the profit from honeycomb charcoal, which is already very good!
If it were someone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't even be able to keep 10% of the profits!
"Well, this 50% profit, I won't take it for nothing!"
"Father will use this 50% profit to build the Golden Dragon Guard."
"As for you, your father intends to have you join the Golden Dragon Guard as well!"
"I don't know. What do you think?"
Eunuch Zhang said with a faint smile.
But Jiang Chen was stunned!
Let him join the Golden Dragon Guard! ?
He...he doesn't want to be a spy!
Although the Golden Dragon Guard sounds very cool.
But there is no freedom!
"What? You don't want to?"
When Eunuch Zhang saw that Jiang Chen's face looked strange, his eyes turned cold.
"Foster father, it's not that I don't want to do it, it's just... I'm afraid I can't do it!"
"Besides, I have to do business... this..."
Jiang Chen hurriedly explained.
But he was in great pain.
He really doesn't want to be the spy!
"Haha, you don't have to be nervous. I'm not going to take you to the capital. I'm just planning to give you the management of the Golden Dragon Guards in Luzhou County."
"With the strength you showed on the battlefield, there will definitely be no problem!"
"Besides, don't think I don't know that you have a lot of veterans under your command!"
"They... are a strong force!" Eunuch Zhang smiled faintly.
……
When Jiang Chen heard what Eunuch Zhang said, he was even more shocked!
This old guy really knows everything!
However, being the leader of the Golden Dragon Guards seems to have its benefits.
Not only will they have rights, but they can also provide benefits to the old soldiers.
Seems pretty good too!
Moreover, he could also hand over these matters to Xu Meng and Xu Yunchang and continue to be a hands-off boss.
"Godfather, I can do it, but my identity..."
"Don't worry, the identities of the Golden Dragon Guards are kept secret and will not be leaked!"
"For example, the masks worn by the two guards beside you are pretty good. Make more of them later so that everyone can wear them!"
Eunuch Zhang saw Jiang Chen's worry and said calmly.
"In that case, thank you very much, godfather!"
After Jiang Chen eliminated his concerns, he calmly accepted this identity.
But what Eunuch Zhang said next made Jiang Chen very happy!
"I saw the letter you wrote to me some time ago."
"Zhang Ze, this is indeed a bit too much."
"When I leave this time, I will take Zhang Ze with me."
"But don't blame him."
"Now Zhang Ze doesn't know your identity. Only Zhang Feng and I know your identity."
"So... friction is inevitable!"
"Thank you, foster father!"
Jiang Chen sincerely thanked Eunuch Zhang!
If Zhang Ze is taken away, his life in Luzhou County will be much easier!
What a good day today is!
Really...
"By the way, I heard that you want to marry Chen Guang's daughter?"
"That Chen Guang is Cai Jing's man, you know that, right?"
Eunuch Zhang looked at Jiang Chen with a smile on his face.
……
When Jiang Chen heard what Eunuch Zhang said, sweat instantly broke out on his back!
Does Eunuch Zhang know about this?
That Zhang Ze must have told tales behind people's back a lot!
"Godfather, you don't know that Xia Ningxiang is threatening me!"
Jiang Chen told the whole story in detail.
After listening to this, Eunuch Zhang nodded thoughtfully.
"Well, you are a man with affection and righteousness."
"Then you can marry Chen Xue. If possible, you can also bring Chen Guang to our camp."
"Let Cai Jing and his people lose not only their wives but also their troops!"
"This... my godfather is very wise!"
When Jiang Chen heard what Eunuch Zhang said, he was shocked!
This old guy is so cruel!
After the two chatted for a while, Xu Yunchang came to the door of the room and said, "Sir, Lord Xue sent someone to invite you. He said that he has prepared a welcoming banquet for Lord Zhang!"
"okay, I get it!"
Jiang Chen responded and then looked at Eunuch Zhang.
"Haha, let's go, don't let them down!"
Eunuch Zhang smiled faintly, stood up and walked out.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen hurriedly followed.
At the same time, in Zuixian Tower, Miss Yang and Su Yue were also discussing the matter of Eunuch Zhang!
"Eunuch Zhang is here?"
"It is said that this eunuch wants to form the Golden Dragon Guard, which is our biggest enemy!"
Miss Yang smiled coldly.
She knew the name of the Golden Dragon Guard.
It is said that all of the Golden Dragon Guards back then were almost wiped out!
Now, the Emperor of Dajing has once again formed the Golden Dragon Guard...
"Miss, those Golden Dragon Guards should not only be targeting us!"
"Recently, rumors have been spreading everywhere among the people. The Golden Dragon Guard... should be doing this for them, right?" Su Yue frowned and expressed his opinion.
"Haha, I know, that was the work of the Holy Mother Church. The Golden Dragon Guards do have the intention to deal with the Holy Mother Church."
"So, we don't have to rush. There will definitely be someone who is more anxious than us to take action against Eunuch Zhang!"
