After guarding the border for his father for three years, the daughter-in-law returns home and becom

The next morning.

Chu Yang got up early, washed up simply, and came to the lobby of the inn.

Not long after he sat down, he saw Zhang Liao walking in with a dozen bodyguards.

Zhang Liao was a man of sturdy build, with a resolute face, a pair of piercing eyes, and an awe-inspiring and inviolable aura emanating from his entire body.

The bodyguards following behind him were all strong men, with straight backs and sharp eyes. They were obviously veteran soldiers.

"Zhang Liao, the chief escort of Weiyuan Escort Agency, greets His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince!"

Zhang Liao walked up to Chu Yang and bowed.

"Captain Zhang is famous, no need to be polite, please stand up quickly!"

Chu Yang quickly stood up and personally helped Zhang Liao up.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Zhang Liao stood up, looked at Chu Yang with burning eyes, clasped his fists and said, "I have heard of your great name for a long time. Seeing you today, I can see that you are indeed a rare talent with a majestic bearing!"

"Master Zhang, thank you for your praise!"

Chu Yang smiled. He didn’t expect Zhang Liao to speak so nicely. It seems that a famous general is a famous general.

"I wonder why Your Highness is on this incognito tour? If there is anything you need from me, I will be happy to serve you!"

Seeing Zhang Liao coming to surrender, Chu Yang did not beat around the bush and said directly: "To be honest, I came to Luoyang City this time because I was forced to do so."

"You were forced to do this? How can you say that?"

"Hey."

Chu Yang sighed, then brought Zhang Liao and others to a private room. After sitting down, he continued.

"I won a great victory in the South Sea War and was awarded the position of Crown Prince after returning to Kyoto."

"But the treacherous officials in power forced me to leave the palace. I had no choice but to do so."

"I don't think I can stay in Luoyang City for long now. I'd better go back to my Qiongzhou and become an abandoned vassal king."

Hearing this, Zhang Liao's face was filled with anger: "Your Highness, you are the crown prince, you should care about the country, why do you slack off when you encounter setbacks!"

Seeing Zhang Liao's attitude, Chu Yang felt that there was no need to act anymore.

After all, the loyalty of the generals given by the system is 100%.

"If I don't leave, I will have to confront the ministers in the court. Do you think I should accept those important ministers and the prince who come to Luoyang City or not?"

Hearing this, Zhang Liao said, "I am not very knowledgeable about the affairs of the court, but if anyone wants to harm you, don't worry. Just give me 800 cavalrymen and I will ensure that you are safe in Luoyang City."

"Eight hundred cavalry?"

Chu Yang smiled bitterly. He was alone now. Where could he find eight hundred cavalrymen?

"Captain Zhang, you don't know, I was forced to come out this time by those old guys, and I only brought a little money with me. Let alone 800 cavalrymen, I can't even afford eight!"

Chu Yang was telling the truth, he was really poor now!

"This……"

Zhang Liao was stunned. He didn't expect that Chu Yang, a prince, would fall to such a state.

"Your Highness, there is no need to be discouraged. I have eight experts under my command, who are enough to ensure your safety."

Zhang Liao didn't know what to say. He had wanted to make great achievements and build a career for Chu Yang, but who knew that the other party was so poor.

Seeing Zhang Liao's attitude, Chu Yang thought for a moment and then thought of Suo Si and the dozen or so elite soldiers.

Yes, don’t you still have a team?

"Captain Zhang, please be patient. I was just joking."

Chu Yang smiled pretentiously, "Eight hundred cavalrymen are indeed a bit difficult, but I have left a stronghold near the capital, where there are dozens of elite personal soldiers, each of whom is worth a hundred!"

"If we expand it, let alone eight hundred, even one thousand eight hundred is not impossible!"

When Zhang Liao heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Your Highness is wise! If we really have such elite troops, why worry about not accomplishing great things? I am willing to serve Your Highness at my service!"

"Okay, then I will appoint you as the general of the stronghold outside Kyoto, give you 500 taels of gold, and order you to train 800 elite cavalry within one month. Do you have the confidence?"

Chu Yang waved his hand with a majestic look, as if he was commanding a country.

"Yes! I will definitely live up to the mission!" Zhang Liao knelt on one knee excitedly and accepted the order.

"Don't thank me yet,"

Chu Yang smiled and patted Zhang Liao on the shoulder, "I still have to think of a way to get these five hundred taels of gold, and it will be delivered to you soon."

"Everything is up to your Highness to arrange."

After leaving the inn.

Chu Yang couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Five hundred taels of gold is not a small amount of money. I am penniless now, where can I get the money?

You can't just go and rob, right?

At this moment, he suddenly had an idea and thought of a person - Wang Fugui, the magistrate of Luoyang City.

This guy was willing to give me all 15,000 soldiers yesterday.

Chu Yang thought, after all, he was the crown prince, so it shouldn't be too much to borrow five hundred taels of gold from him, right?

After making up his mind, Chu Yang swaggered to the gate of the county government office.

"Someone, hurry up and announce that the crown prince has arrived!"

Chu Yang took a step forward and shouted to the bailiff at the door.

When the bailiff heard the word "Prince", he was so frightened that he ran in and reported it.

Not long after.

Wang Fugui, dressed in official uniform, came trotting out to greet them, with a fawning smile on his face.

"Your humble servant Wang Fugui, the magistrate of Luoyang County, pays respect to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. May you live a thousand years, a thousand thousand years, a thousand thousand years!"

Wang Fugui knelt on the ground respectfully and bowed deeply.

"Master Wang, there is no need to be so polite. Please stand up quickly."

Chu Yang smiled and gave him a hand, then, under the guidance of Wang Fugui, he walked into the county government office.

Along the way, Wang Fugui kept speaking flattering words, saying that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was wise and brave, and would become a great ruler in the future. Chu Yang felt a little embarrassed after hearing this.

Entered the lobby.

Wang Fugui quickly asked someone to serve fragrant tea, and then asked carefully.

"I wonder what brings you here today, Your Highness?"

Chu Yang didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "To be honest, the reason why I am going on this incognito tour is..."

He deliberately paused here, after all, he couldn't bring himself to talk about borrowing money.

When Wang Fugui heard about the incognito tour, he immediately understood what he meant and asked quickly, "Your Highness, are you short of money?"

Chu Yang smiled slightly and nodded.

Wang Fugui was overjoyed when he saw this, and quickly said, "This is easy. I will prepare the silver right away and make sure Your Highness is satisfied!"

Having said that, Wang Fugui ordered his servants to prepare the silver.

"Your Excellency has misunderstood. What I want is not silver, but gold."

"gold?"

Wang Fugui was slightly stunned, and the smile on his face suddenly stiffened.

"That's right, five hundred taels of gold." Chu Yang stretched out a hand and said with a smile.

Upon hearing this number, Wang Fugui almost couldn't breathe. Five hundred taels of gold is not a small sum!

"I wonder what you need so much gold for, Your Highness?"

"This king wants to recruit soldiers and do something big!"

When Wang Fugui heard about recruiting soldiers, he was confused.
