Section 26 Jiang's Yaoyuan
Everyone said that the blue fireworks lit by the lord of the Xiaonan Kingdom on Roye Island that night not only illuminated the twilight sky, reflected the dark sea level, but also brightened the hearts of many people - from then on, Royer Island and its surrounding waters have finally returned to calm and safety, and it will once again become a transit point for major north-south merchant fleets in the South China Sea. In the expectation of the merchants and the people, the Nanguo Government soon announced that the mutual market with extremely relaxed conditions would be opened on Luoye, not only merchants could participate, but also the people of Xiaonanguo and Fujian could also trade on the island on a fixed date after registration and verification, and the merchants and fishermen of Jiuwei Town and Songxi County, who were rejoicing, had endless admiration for His Royal Highness the lord of the country, who had always only heard his name and did not know what he was doing. After this incident, the happiest person was naturally Songxi County's guard Ji Meishan, and he no longer had to be sad because of the Haikou ravaging Jiuwei Town, and he could finally show his skills in Jiuwei and the coastal area, and devote himself to the people's livelihood in this area.
It seems that everything is thriving and extremely beautiful, and they are all going in a good direction, but Fu Jiang, the general of Xiaonanguo, who has made great contributions this time, still seems to be preoccupied, although his task has been completed, and the recruits of Dingchang County have also received rewards and returned to Dingchang happily, but Fu Jiang himself has not left Jiuwei Town.
During the day, Fu Jiang was busy arranging security matters between Luoye Island and Jiuwei Town with the Songxi County Guard, and he was supposed to return to the inn used as a temporary command center to rest at night, but he always quietly left from the side gate in the middle of the night, and came to a mansion outside Jiuwei Town.
The house is located a little further from the town, and although it is a little remote but very quiet. The courtyard is not too big, but it seems that the owner attaches great importance to privacy, and the outer wall is built very high, which looks like a courtyard for the rich and noble to place the outer room. There has always been only an old man in the courtyard, a few years ago, the owner's family resold the house to the trading house, and the door has been closed since the sale, and no one has ever been in or out. Recently, the old man who watched the door was gone, and the plaque of the main house was hung on the door, with the words "Jiang's Yaoyuan" written on it, and a tall middle-aged man guarded the door, although this person was slightly hunchbacked, but the eagle-like Sen Sen gaze in his eyes made people shudder, and he really didn't look like an ordinary janitor.
Fu Jiang arrived outside the door of the house late that night, and after dismounting, he cautiously looked left and right to confirm that there was no one around, so he lightly buckled three times on the corner door next to him, paused for a moment, and buckled three more times. After a while, the middle-aged man who was guarding the door came and opened the door, seeing that it was Fu Jiang who didn't say anything, he took the reins in his hand and asked him to go in, Fu Jiang nodded slightly, and the person strode towards the courtyard.
Because he has been here several times, Fu Jiang is already familiar with the road in this courtyard, although he can meet the night patrol dressed as a family member after walking for a while, everyone is very polite to this guest who comes to visit at night. However, the more he walked towards the back room, Fu Jiang's always resolute face was a little worried and even dissatisfied, and when he walked outside a room with lights on, he saw Wang Xiangzheng pacing at the door with his head down.
"Mr. Fu is coming. β
"Mr. Xiang......! How's it going?"
"Alas......" Wang Xiang shook his head, "Today is a bit repetitive, so Dr. Huang is still guarding inside at the moment, you can wait." β
After hearing this, Fu Jiang's heart sank, and he looked up at the bright moonlight, and the wind with the smell of sea water blowing on his cheeks, he opened his mouth, as if he was hesitating to say something. At this time, Xuan Nu also walked over from outside, followed by two young women with beautiful complexions but serious expressions, one purple and one white, each holding a wooden box in her hand, with a seal on the wooden box and a golden "Jiang" character painted.
"These are the two girls in front of the young master of the Jiang family, who came to deliver medicine to Dr. Huang. β
Fu Jiang and Wang glanced at each other, but there were two completely different looks on their faces. Fu Jiang let out a low "hum", turned sideways and ignored the salute of the two young women, Wang Xiang smiled very politely, and said: "The two girls have come from afar to work hard, come in, Doctor Huang must be waiting." β
"Yes, Mr. Xiang. β
After the two of them entered the house and closed the door, Wang Xiang took off the smile on his face and said lightly: "But an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl can recognize me at a glance, it's really a good eye." β
"Not to mention good eyesight, these two are martial arts, and kung fu is only afraid that it is not under your family's Xuan lady. Fu Jiang paused and asked, "Why does this young master of the Jiang family want to detain our Royal Highness here? Even if he is seriously ill, even ifβin short, our Xiaonanguo has neither a shortage of doctors nor a lot of medicines, how can he be asked to go to the territory of Xiaonanguo from that Fujian country to arrange arrangements, this, this is as if this is his family's place!"
"General Fu, this time Jiang Biao's arrangement really can't be said to be wrong. β
"Why did Mr. Xiang say that?"
"Do you remember the look of His Royal Highness when His Royal Highness Jiangbiao was rescued on the desert island Stone Mountain, Wang Xiangbucai, who has followed His Highness all the way from Youzhou to now, but he has never seen His Highness like that...... It's like a person who has lost his soul and popularity, and is left with only an empty shell. β
"At that time, His Highness was seriously injured, and his natural spirit was poor. But after so many days, you and I come to her every day, but Your Highness does not speak, nor does he arrange how we should behave. So far, I still have to obey His Highness's command at the bottom of the mountain, 'listen to his arrangement', and endure my anger and let this Jiang family son command and arrange for us to do this and that-Mr. Xiang, these are the internal affairs of our Xiaonan Kingdom! You don't say a word, and he is also a businessman from another country to give orders?"
"Old man, this is not true. Wang Xiangchao Fu Jiang said sincerely, "Although this Jiang family looks young, his handling arrangements are really thoughtful and meticulous, and he doesn't look like an ordinary businessman at all." Since he came out of the Arrow Islands, he has made all the arrangements for the good of our little southern country and the reputation of His Royal Highness, you see that now, isn't there a lot of praise for His Highness around? Not to mention the great achievement that he saved His Highness, just looking at the people he arranged inside and outside this mansion, they are not people from Xiao Nanguoββ"
"That's right, Mr. Xiang, here lives the lord of Xiaonanguo, but here is all outsiders!
Wang Xiang saw that he was blowing his beard and staring, and he couldn't cry or laugh for a while, and said: "Mr. Fu thinks about you, from the time you entered this mansion to the present, Your Highness has said a few words to you? Every time you see him, what does His Highness look like? If His Highness's appearance is known to the people in the country, and if it is spread out by the slightest accident, think about it carefully, what will be the consequences?"
Hearing this, Fu Jiang finally came to his senses, his eyebrows twisted silently, and after a while, he swallowed: "But no matter what, His Highness always has to return to Caiyun City." No matter how widely these bells and whistles are spread and how good the reputation is, His Royal Highness is the lord of the country, and it is impossible not to show up in the capital for a long time. Besides, in the past few days that His Highness has left Caiyun City, many government affairs must be waiting for His Highness to go back, and those government affairs are backlogged, which is also not good for Xiao Nanguo!"
"Now as long as His Royal Highness can get better, what does it matter if there is government affairs or something...... Wang Xiang's voice is getting lower and lower, and when he says the last sentence, Xuan Nu seems to have unintentionally glanced up at him, under the moonlight, Wang Xiang's eyes are pale blue, and there is a trace of sadness in his eyes, which is gone in an instant.
