The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

Chapter 285 4 Undercurrents

Seeing Jiang Fan coming out, the little girl quickly put down the kettle in her hand and came to greet him, with a look of attachment and joy on her face.

"Brother, the leaves of the little tree have sprouted, and I have successfully kept them alive!" She looked at Jiang Fan, with a look on her face that showed she was seeking praise.

Jiang Fan's heart softened when he saw this, and the maid who was accompanying the little girl hurriedly greeted Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan smiled and rubbed the little girl's head, saying: "Our Baoer is the best...Brother is waiting for Baoer's fruit tree to bear fruit..."

"Yes! Yes, brother. Baoer will definitely let brother eat the fruits from the fruit trees..." the little girl said in a baby voice.

Chu Yan'er, who had followed along, stepped forward and picked up the little girl and said, "Bao'er, will you give your sister-in-law some of the fruit from the fruit tree?"

"Well, give it to my sister-in-law too..." the little girl said to Chu Yan'er seriously.

Chu Yan'er looked at her cute little appearance and couldn't help but scratch her pretty nose with a look of doting on her face.

Jiang Fan glanced at the two of them, smiled, and went out to court with the Chu brothers and Zhong Ling.

Three people were responsible for protecting Jiang Fan, and they were accompanied by two hundred white-robed guards. Even though they were in the capital, everyone was still paying attention to Jiang Fan's safety.

Even though the princes were imprisoned, they were still in great danger. Not only Jiang Fan knew this, but everyone else knew it as well.

Since Zhong Ling returned to Beijing, she saw that her brother had fully recovered and was even better than before, and she felt even more grateful to Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan was sitting in a carriage, Zhong Ling was accompanying Jiang Fan in the carriage, and the Chu brothers were guarding both sides of the carriage. This had been the case all this time.

Because the two brothers lost to Jiang Fan, they are now the commanders of Jiang Fan's personal guards. Of course, they have actually forgotten about the bet a long time ago.

Even if there was no bet with Jiang Fan, they were now willing to be the commander of Jiang Fan's guards and protect him forever.

In the carriage, Zhong Ling'er looked at Jiang Fan with a serious expression and said, "Your Highness, I'm afraid the court will not be peaceful today. Please be careful."

Jiang Fan frowned when he heard this. Zhong Ling had the former intelligence system of the Blood Cloud Tower. Although she had never handed the intelligence system to Jiang Fan, she would often report some of the intelligence she had obtained to Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan actually didn't care about this. As long as Zhong Ling could work for him wholeheartedly and the intelligence system was in her hands, it was not a bad thing.

After all, even if the intelligence system was in his hands, Jiang Fan couldn't find the right person to control it.

Even if he was training Su Dingyuan, it was still far from enough for Su Dingyuan to become an intelligence giant. It was even more impossible for him to take over the intelligence network of the Blood Cloud Tower.

Not to mention whether he could convince those people, even commanding and controlling them was not something he could do. Besides, I'm afraid Zhong Ling would not hand over the intelligence network.

The only thing that worries him now is that if Zhong Ling betrays him one day, he will lose this great help.

It would be best if we could think of a way to ensure that Zhong Ling would never have second thoughts about him.

It might not be enough to just do favors for Zhong Ling and his sister, but Jiang Fan couldn't think of a good solution for the time being.

He could only hope to let Zhong Ling and her siblings live in his house, and slowly get along with each other so that they would be loyal to him.

At present, Zhong Ling is still very reliable.

Seeing Jiang Fan frown, Zhong Ling quickly added, "I have received intelligence that a 200,000-strong Northern Mongolian army is approaching our border, and they are preparing to make our Great Yan hand over Duo La Yue Er and cede 200 miles of land outside the Hezhou Pass. Otherwise, they will march south and attack our Central Plains."

"According to intelligence, Hezhou's chief guard, Mu Yuntian, may be colluding with Beimeng's King Ji Keli. If Beimeng really attacks the pass, Hezhou City may fall at any time."

"In addition, the Great Western Dynasty has already deployed 200,000 troops at the border, and is ready to attack our Great Yan. The Great Western Dynasty has even sent an envoy to ask for the hand in marriage of the Ninth Princess Jiang Xing from our Great Yan."

"In addition, the eight tribes of South Vietnam are discussing in secret, and I'm afraid they may rebel in the near future and establish the South Vietnam Kingdom. Also, the three major Japanese pirates along the coast have formed an alliance and may attack our coastal cities at any time!"

"And all these things happened because the Sixth Prince and the First, Third, Fifth and Fourth Princes promised them benefits."

When Jiang Fan heard Zhong Ling's report, a chill flashed across his eyes and he was extremely angry.

He thought that his four brothers would not obey being imprisoned, but now it seems that he was too kind.

These four guys were willing to sell out Dayan's interests for their own selfish interests.

To be able to cause problems everywhere, they must have promised a lot of benefits. They may even have put them into action. It's simply courting disaster.

The thing that disgusted him the most was that Da Xichao asked to marry his sister Jiang Xing. This was clearly a slap in the face of Jiang Fan.

As for the things in South Vietnam, Jiang Fan felt that he could ignore them for the time being.

After all, although Nanyue was annexed by Dayan, it was jointly managed and ruled by eight major tribes.

Dayan only sent officials to garrison there, and even had few troops stationed there.

The eight tribes were like local tyrants in South Vietnam. Even if they rebelled, at most they would only cause Dayan to lose control of South Vietnam.

There won't be any problem as long as we wait until we have time to solve it.

The most urgent forces at the moment are the 200,000 troops from Northern Mongolia and the 200,000 troops from the Daxi Dynasty who are taking advantage of the situation to force their way in.

This situation is similar to when Dora Yueer captured Jinzhou City. Once Dora Yueer gained a foothold in Jinzhou City and then attacked the hinterland of Dayan, the Great Western Dynasty would definitely take the opportunity to invade Dayan.

Now that the Great Western Dynasty was forcing the Great Yan at this time, it also meant to cooperate with the Northern Mongolians. They might even have discussed how to distribute the benefits of attacking the Great Yan.

However, as long as the Northern Mongolian army is unable to attack Dayan, the Great Western Dynasty will probably be the same as last time, with much ado about nothing.

Therefore, the affairs of Northern Mongolia are the top priority. As for the Japanese pirates along the coast, they can only be said to be a bunch of trash and are not worth worrying about for the time being.

"Since they want to cause trouble, I will extinguish all their hopes one by one!" Jiang Fan's eyes were cold, and a strong murderous intent surged in his eyes.

Although he had promised Emperor Yan not to kill other princes, but... these people kept seeking death, and he really couldn't bear it anymore.

Moreover, the Sixth Prince had caused so many troubles, Jiang Fan did not think that this guy was at the end of his rope and just wanted to cause trouble for him. He might have a bigger plan.

Once he was not in the capital, apart from the Huaining Industrial Zone which was his weak spot, the only people he had were his mother and sister in the palace, and the Emperor of Yan.

If the Sixth Prince Jiang Zheng was so crazy as to attack Emperor Yan, and then controlled the court officials and forged the imperial edict, he could even make a great comeback.

Jiang Fan remembered that such things had happened countless times in the history of his previous life, and the most famous ones were the scumbags Zhao Gao and Hu Hai!
