Chapter 609: The Legendary Knight's Banquet

The chief chamberlain came to the imperial study and reported to Shaodian Dan: "Lord Taiwei asks to see you." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

"Hmm, what special person is there in your own country? "Shaodian Dan has several gray hairs on his head, and he is not yet fifty years old, and he is worried about state affairs.

Shaodian Huang is only about ten years older than the king, but he is an uncle Wang, his red hair is neatly combed, and he looks very energetic in his official hat.

After completing the procedure of meeting the king, Shaodian Huang sat in the guest seat of the imperial study with a cautious expression, and without waiting for the king to ask, he took the initiative to say: "Last night, the old minister saw the envoy of his own country, he is the nephew of the king, and his own name is Ji Man. ā€

"It's him, why didn't he come to see Gu first and ran to you first? Presumably for state affairs, he should have come to the Government Council first. "Shao Dian Dan was confused.

Foreign envoys who have official state affairs should go to the Government Council, relatives of the royal family abroad should visit the clan office, and those who have a close relationship with the king can directly visit the king.

"Back to the king, Ji Man came half of it for state affairs this time, and half of it was for the family, and the state affairs are actually family affairs, so I came to find the old minister first.

The queen of Ji, the princess of the former king, could not bear the suffering of the people of Nannuma Prefecture, and decided to send her eldest son to lead the army under her command, intending to go to Nannuma Prefecture to fight the invading enemy army.

Ji Man came in the hope of getting the king's approval, allowing him to lead three legions to fight for the people of Nannuma Prefecture and strengthen the friendship between Shaodian and his own country. The lieutenant replied.

"A few days ago, the 21st Army Corps recovered Juyang City, our soldiers fought bravely to kill the enemy and recaptured half of Nanqiu County, and the commander Jiang Xi led 600,000 troops to attack Nanqiu County, and the recovery of the entire Nanqiu County is just around the corner.

My country didn't send troops for a long time, but at this time, I wanted to strengthen the friendship between the two countries, and kept saying that I was fighting for the people of Nannuma Prefecture, and the second sister was really calculating. If you get the help of your own army's 300,000 troops, you can recover the lost territory as soon as possible, and you can't refuse. Shaodian Dan smiled bitterly.

"The king can give him a title, give him the number of the royal family's private army, and go to Nanmara Prefecture to return to the moderation of Commander Jiang, and the old minister thinks that he can promise him. Shaodian Huang came up with an idea.

"Well, there will be a dinner party in the palace in the evening, and I will take care of my nephew who has come from afar, and notify the Government Council and the Commander's Mansion to send a commissioner to accompany him. ā€

Shao Dian Dan agreed to control the matter within the scope of the clan government, as far away from the national government level as possible, and the commissioners of the Government Council and the Commander's Office could solve the problem of the formalities of sending troops across borders.

Ji Man is the eldest son of Ji Nan and Shao Dian Rong, the first heir to the future throne of his country, he just turned twenty years old this year, he was born with bright eyes and sparse eyebrows, his face is like a crown of jade, and he is also a rare handsome guy among the children of the royal family.

After receiving a notice from the Taiwei of Shaodian Kingdom, the king of Shaodian Kingdom specially held a banquet for him tonight, which shows that the mission he is carrying will have a satisfactory answer.

Dressed early in the clothes of the prince, and let the maids repeatedly check for flaws in their makeup, Jiman should attend the banquet in the best condition.

When the prince was about to go to the palace for a banquet, Bao Tu and Gongsun Jie, two ministerial-level officials, came to the Anguo Mansion together, and they both received invitations from the legendary knight Jiang Tong.

The titles of the former An Guogong and the three elders of the patriarch are not a big deal, at least they will not pose much pressure on the two ministers, but the identity of the legendary knight makes the two dare not slack off. It's your honor to see you.

The current Anguo Gong Jiang Li came out first to entertain Gongsun Festival and Bao Tu.

After the politeness, Gongsun Jie couldn't help but ask, "Can the Third Elder reveal what Elder Jiang is looking for the two of us?"

Bao Tu closed his mouth and cast an inquiring look.

Jiang Li took a sip of the teacup, straightened his sitting posture, and said: "I believe that the military situation on the front line is known to the two ministers, the victory of Zhenbei Pass is unexpected, first our army troops risked their lives to sneak behind the enemy, and then Gu Jun and Tan Shang joined forces to attack, this victory was not easy to come by." ā€

Gongsun Jie and Bao Tu glanced at each other, their eyes flashed with a clear meaning, and the two of them nodded tacitly, closed their mouths together and bowed their heads in contemplation.

Although Jiang Li didn't answer a word about the reason why Jiang Tong came to them, when it came to the matter of Zhenbeiguan, the two ministers immediately knew it.

After a while, Jiang Tong, dressed in a loose green robe, appeared in the living room, and his original white beard and white hair seemed to be darker and changed to gray.

"Let's serve, the guests are hungry, the old man hasn't satisfied his appetite for a long time, you two want to accompany me today." ā€

Jiang Tong waved his hand, and immediately a servant served the wine and food, and the housekeeper Jiang Nai served on the side.

Bao Tu and Gongsun Jie have their own concerns, how can they really eat in front of Jiang Tong, and they stop after eating a few bites.

"Well, the two adults are busy with political affairs, and the old man shouldn't delay you too much, so let's talk about it directly. ā€

Jiang Tong didn't invite them here for dinner.

"You didn't delay the juniors' time at all, Elder Jiang has something to order. Bao Tu hurriedly sat upright.

"Yes, yes, it's hard to get the chance to hear your teachings. "Gongsun Festival often has a straight face in the Commander's Mansion, but now he is full of smiles.

"Hmm. Jiang Tong stroked his beard, "Nineteen years ago, one of the old man's favorite daughters was murdered, and only three of the old man's in-laws survived, and no one has given me a clear explanation of this matter until now." ā€

With a "pop", Bao Tu's heart was about to jump to his throat, normally the most important person to give an explanation for the incident nineteen years ago was the Ministry of Legal Affairs.

"The younger generation is incompetent, but there are too many missing cases from the old case many years ago, and there are all kinds of indications that the case is related to foreign forces, and the Ministry of Legal Affairs cannot continue to investigate it despite its capabilities. Bao Tu stood up and bowed down to explain to Jiang Tong.

Gongsun Jie looked at the roof with both eyes, for fear that he would do something wrong and his expression would make people misunderstand that he wanted to intervene in the matter. That tragedy is a headless public case, which can be ranked among the hundred suspenseful cases in the history of the kingdom, and King Shaodian Dan also wants to figure it out but just can't find out.

"Then again, the old man is useless, he can't even protect his own daughter, and he doesn't have the face to blame others. Jiang Tong's face was gloomy.

Bao Tu was sweating profusely, and he didn't dare to take it.

"But," Jiang Tong suddenly raised his voice, "who is betraying my grandson?

Although the sound was not loud, the surrounding space was vibrating, but everyone and objects in the living room were not affected, and it could be seen that Jiang Tong had completely controlled the power of the legendary knight.

"A personal guard who has been with me for forty years, broke a leg in order to seize the town monument, he could have been promoted to the Great Archery Division in his lifetime, but now he is ruined in the conspiracy of plotting against my own grandson, just to give him an explanation, should you have anything to say?"

Jiang Tong's tone did not contain anger, but Bao Tu and Gongsun Energy could clearly feel the anger in his heart.

"Ahem," Gongsun Jie knew that he couldn't hide, "the junior has sent his most capable men to investigate this matter. When the matter first became known, the Ministry of Judge Advocate General held a special meeting to discuss it.

On the surface, the people suspected of betraying the military intelligence did not know the specific plan for the surprise attack on Zhenbeiguan, and it is estimated that from the Nannuma Prefecture Theater Competition, it was speculated that Ding Kui would carry out the mission of infiltrating behind enemy lines, and then notify the top level of the Meng army through our unknown channels.

Ordinary people can't accurately analyze the intentions of the top brass in the theater, so we have reason to suspect that the inner ghost comes from the top three troops in the competition, that is, the 21st, 22nd, and 1st Army Corps in the Middle Earth. The juniors are investigating these three legions with all their might. ā€

"Well, this case involves the sale of state secrets, with the intention of murdering the nobles of the kingdom, the officials of the clan government and the officers of the commander's office, and a special case should be established, led by the Ministry of Legal Affairs, and jointly investigated by the Ministry of Military Justice and the Ministry of Health, and the juniors must personally supervise the case. Bao Tu immediately made a statement.

Ding Kui was betrayed by the inner ghost Bao Tu also just heard about it not long ago, to be honest, he didn't take it to heart, the Ministry of Military Justice and the Department of Espionage will definitely not slack off on this matter, and it has nothing to do with his legal department.

However, Jiang Tong named him by name, and he had to revisit the old incident from nineteen years ago, that is, a statement, the departments that can be implicated in the Zhenbeiguan incident, no matter who they are, can not stay out of the matter, if Jiang Tong does not handle it well, he will come forward to make the matter bigger.

The legendary knight is angry, the whole country will shake, the king in order to calm Jiang Tong's anger does not know who will be used to open the knife, the Gongsun family and the Bao family are not afraid of the top cylinder, but it does not mean that the family close to them is not afraid, and it may not be impossible for the matter to make a big fuss and destroy the family and the clan.

"Don't think that the old man can't make a move because of the restrictions, today the old man made it clear, murdering Kui'er is equivalent to murdering the old man, and if necessary, it doesn't hurt for the old man to have some blood on his hands. "Jiang Tong really drew a red line, and moving Ding Kui is equivalent to touching his bottom line.

"The hateful inner ghost is punished by everyone, you don't need to do it yourself, the younger generation will definitely have the people related to them and their families taste all the torture of the Ministry of Legal Affairs, and then show them to the public!" Bao Tu said with deep disgust.

"Hehe, the Judge Advocate General's Department will definitely make them regret coming to this world. Not to be outdone, Gongsun Day stated that he would severely punish the traitors.

"Well, don't disappoint the old man. Jiang Tong patted the table, turning into a blue light and disappearing.

Watching Jiang Nai walk out of the living room, Jiang Li turned around and said, "My father has gone to rest, you don't have to be restrained." ā€

Bao Tu and Gongsun Jie took out their handkerchiefs and wiped the sweat on their heads.

"Third Elder, Bao wants to go back to set up a project, so he won't bother much. Bao Tu got up and said goodbye, this meal was really not a good taste.

Gongsun Jie didn't talk much, just drank a cup of tea more than Bao Tu, and left the Anguo Mansion.

Unlike the Jiang family's banquet, the atmosphere in the palace was much more harmonious and cheerful.

Shaodian Dan also specially brought his eldest daughter Shaodian Luan to the banquet.

Ji Man is the cousin of Shaodian Luan, and he may be the future king of his own country, so it is necessary to let the eldest princess of Shaodian country meet.

Seeing this, Shaodian Luan didn't feel anything, but Ji Man was deeply attracted to her.
