I have been a county magistrate for ten years. My subordinates insist on giving me a yellow robe.

The guy in the black robe silently pointed to the empty seat next to Chen Liu.

"I understand. I won't tell His Highness for the time being. At the same time, I will take His Highness back immediately." Chen Liu nodded solemnly.

"You know the seriousness of the matter, so you'd better be careful along the way. It won't be just one company that will take action." The man in black robe said lightly.

"Then can't you send more people? Are you going to rely on me for everything?" Chen Liu couldn't help it.

The black-robed man slowly shook his head: "Being too conspicuous is not a good thing. The two of you are smaller targets, so you will be safer."

"Also, remember, don't take the water route."

Chen Liu waved his hand impatiently: "Nonsense, I followed His Majesty all the way here, do you still need to tell me about this? Hurry back and report."

"Also, send more people. Even if I had three heads and six arms, I can't do it alone!"

"Of course you should. Take this thing, it will be helpful." The man in black robe handed a brocade box to Chen Liu and tapped his feet lightly, causing the lantern to shake slightly.

Chen Liu held the brocade box in both hands and couldn't help but sigh.

……

Late at night, Fatty Zhao finally stood up with a feeling of unfulfilled desire. Ever since he read Jiang Yuan's plan, there was no longer a trace of dissatisfaction in his eyes.

Jiang Yuan stretched and slowly sat up from the chair.

It's finally over. After winning over Fatty Zhao, Zui Jiangyue has already announced the end of the project in advance. It's time for me to consider going to the imperial capital.

Jiang Yuan went to the kitchen to eat a few mouthfuls of food, washed up and had a good sleep. The next day, Jiang Yuan got up early, which was a rare occasion.

At the dinner table, everyone was there except Bai Jingyun and Zhao Kai who had left.

"I'm going to be leaving here in two days. Wang Kun and Ergou, you two just work hard here. Fatty Zhao will come to help you." Jiang Yuan said while drinking porridge, then turned his gaze to Chen Liu and the other man.

"Brother Yong, you and Wang Chen can stay here if you want. We won't charge you any money anyway."

Chen Liu paused, and slowly lowered the bowl in his hand: "Jiang Yuan, are you going back to Taiping County?"

"No, Wang Gang and I are going to the imperial capital." Jiang Yuan said helplessly.

"The imperial capital? What are you going to the imperial capital for?" Chen Liu looked at Jiang Yuan in confusion.

I can understand that Tian Wen agreed to your coming to Xinri City, but if you go to the imperial capital, it will not be something Tian Wen can decide.

Jiang Yuan drank the last mouthful of porridge in his bowl, wiped his mouth and said, "Do you think I want to? I accidentally saved a woman a few days ago, but I didn't expect that woman to be a princess."

As soon as Jiang Yuan explained the whole story, Chen Liu immediately stared at him.

"What? You did that to Yang Qingfeng? Also, the woman you rescued was called Su Su?"

"Hey, Brother Yong, don't react so strongly. You can ask Wang Chen about this. I thought this guy told you."

Duanmu Yuanchen blinked and looked at Chen Liu: "What's wrong? What's the problem? The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people. Can you let him go just because he's the son of the Minister of Civil Affairs?"

Chen Liu shook his head helplessly, but soon realized that Jiang Yuan was going to the imperial capital!

So, why can't I go with him?

Putting aside other things, this kid's ability to cheat people might help them solve a lot of problems.

Thinking of this, Chen Liu immediately put down his chopsticks and said, "What a coincidence! Wang Chen and I are also going back to the imperial capital. Why don't we go together?"

Jiang Yuan's eyes lit up. Who were these two? One was Wang Mu's son, and the other was Wang Mu's confidant. Even Yang Cheng had to sell Wang Mu's face for his own good. There must be some benefits to having them around, right?

"Okay, that's exactly what I wanted. In that case, let's go together." Jiang Yuan said without hesitation.

In this way, with two shrewd old foxes wanting to take advantage of each other's psychology, a team of four was officially formed.

Three days later, Jiangyuan Wang Gang, Chen Liu and Duanmu Yuanchen formally bid farewell to Wang Kun and others and set off on their journey.

Jiang Yuan looked at Chen Liu with a bitter smile: "Brother Wei, why can't we go by water? Even riding in a carriage would be too hot!"

"Of course there is a reason for this. A flood broke out in the upper reaches of the Qianlong River that runs through our Daduan, and the waterway is unsafe." Chen Liu lied casually.

"Okay." Jiang Yuan sighed helplessly.

Twenty days later, Jiang Yuan and Duanmu Yuanchen, who had just walked out of a small town, were each holding half a watermelon and eating it.

As for Wang Gang, this guy can take on one by himself.

"Old Wei, if you don't come out soon we will finish our meal." Jiang Yuan looked at Chen Liu who was taking a bath in the small pond.

Chen Liu waved his arms contentedly: "Eat, eat. There are still more than ten in the carriage. Eat them all if you can."

Jiang Yuan shook his head, held up the map with one hand, and couldn't help shaking his head.

"It's been twenty days, and we've only covered this distance. It'll take at least another month."

Duanmu Yuanchen was innocently and foolishly cheerful: "Brother Jiang, it's so much fun walking on land. It's not like being on the water, where you don't see anyone all day."

"Look at how many interesting things we've encountered along the way."

Jiang Yuan was about to speak when he saw Wang Gang beside him suddenly jump up, waving his hands quickly in the air, and several feather arrows were knocked to the ground.

"Who?" Wang Gang roared, looking around with wide eyes.

"Fuck!"

Jiang Yuan and Duanmu Yuanchen exclaimed in surprise, turned around and jumped into the carriage.

"Don't be afraid, sir, leave it to me!" Wang Gang roared, and almost instantly, a crackling sound of fighting was heard outside the carriage.

"What's going on? Can bandits have such firepower?" Jiang Yuan listened to the noise outside in disbelief.

Along the way, they saw too many bandits and robbers. Usually, when Wang Gang took action, Jiang Yuan would just shout "I don't eat beef" and the problem would be solved.

But this time it was obviously not that simple. He actually fought back and forth with Wang Gang. In the entire bandit world, he must be a big shot.

However, before Jiang Yuan could calm down, the curtain in front of the bridge suddenly disappeared, and a masked man holding a long knife looked at the two of them.

"Wait a minute! Even thieves have their own code of conduct. Can't we just give them money?" Jiang Yuan said quickly.

The man ignored Jiang Yuan and raised his sword.

"Die! Together we'll have companionship, and we won't be alone on the road to the underworld!"

"Fuck!" Jiang Yuan frantically raised a watermelon to try to cushion the impact. Duanmu Yuanchen was so frightened that he sat on the bridge and watched the long knife fall.

Jiang Yuan felt the watermelon in his hand pause, and the cold blade easily cut through the watermelon and was about to fall on his head. At this moment, Jiang Yuan felt his mind go blank.

However, after waiting for a long time, the long sword did not fall, and the man standing outside the car seemed to be frozen.

Just as the two were puzzled, a heavy voice came in.

"Are you okay?"

"Brother Yong is awesome!" Jiang Yuan excitedly pushed away the man's long knife, and the man's body fell down, revealing Chen Liu standing behind him.

He was seen standing naked at the door, slowly pulling out the long knife from the man's hand and confronting the two masked men.

"Hiss! Why aren't you wearing any clothes? Isn't it uncomfortable to be shaking?" Duanmu Yuanchen looked at Chen Liu's crotch with disgust.

Jiang Yuan slapped him and said, "You're still wearing clothes. If Chen Liu dares to wear even a pair of shorts, our lives will be over."

"You know shit, what's wrong with my brother Yong asking his brother to come out for some fresh air?"

After saying this, Jiang Yuan looked at Chen Liu again with trembling eyes.

Who says only those standing in the light are heroes? Those standing there naked are also heroes!
