Chapter 420 New Life
Jiang Yue clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for the invitation, Your Highness. It is a great honor."
"Haha, come in!" Zhao Chongzheng made a gesture of invitation and naturally treated Jiang Yue as a guest of honor.
At noon in the dining room, at the banquet table, Wu Fei and the other three did not join the party, but stood outside waiting for Jiang Yue.
Apart from anything else, the Fourth Prince truly knows how to enjoy life. The food on the banquet table is so delicious and tasty that even the imperial kitchen can rival it.
Wait until the meal is ready.
"Young General, no feast is complete without wine. Come, let me toast you!" Zhao Chongzheng personally filled Jiang Yue's glass, then stood up and toasted with the glass in his hand.
Outside the kitchen, Wu Fei and others looked at Jiang Yue at the same time.
In their opinion, the general had a poor alcohol tolerance.
Jiang Yue stood up and the two clinked their glasses.
After drinking a glass of wine, Jiang Yue felt a burning sensation in her throat.
"I didn't expect the Fourth Prince's wine to be so strong."
"That's nothing. I have stronger wine. I took into consideration the young general's young age." Zhao Chongzheng said jokingly:
"Young general, you are so brave, but I wonder if you can drink a lot? Come on, drink."
Jiang Yue only drank one glass and didn't want to drink a second glass.
At this time, the second prince and the third prince came to visit together.
The reason they came, of course, was because the Fourth Prince was slandered.
They had wronged the Fourth Prince and wanted to come here to reconcile.
When they saw Jiang Yue, they thought of the last drinking game, which had not yet been decided.
Jiang Yue did not forget to stand up and meet the two princes.
"Why are the Second and Third Brothers here too?"
Zhao Chong was caught off guard.
Besides, after all, the two royal brothers had a close relationship before, and he was always the one who was excluded.
"I'm here to welcome my fourth younger brother." The second prince said with a smile.
"Now that we see that the fourth prince is safe, we two are relieved." The third prince echoed.
Zhao Chongzheng was secretly complaining in his heart, thinking that it sounded nice, so why didn't he come when he was in prison?
It was clear that they didn't trust me before.
Not to mention my two royal brothers, even His Majesty doesn't trust me.
When he thought of the prince, he also thought of the prince being framed, and his gratitude towards Jiang Yue increased.
I hope the prince is okay.
"Young General, the drinking game that day has not ended yet. Let's continue today." The second prince suggested.
The Third Prince was very interested and said, "Let us see the young general's talent."
Wu Fei and the other three standing outside were also quite interested in the proposal of the second and third princes after what happened that day.
However, Jiang Yue herself and Zhao Chongzheng had no interest at all.
Zhao Chongzheng said unhappily:
"My two royal brothers, today the young general is here to welcome me."
After hearing what the Fourth Prince said, Jiang Yue also said:
"Your Highness, I will accompany you on the drinking game another day."
It is also good to be able to make friends with the princes.
"Forget it, since the young general is unwilling, we two won't force him." The second prince didn't mean to make things difficult for anyone.
He changed the subject.
"The young general is very talented and humble. He even started doing business with Your Majesty. I just don't know if he is willing to do business with people like us."
The Donglin treasury was empty due to years of war. Although these princes seemed glamorous, they were actually very poor.
The second prince also didn't want to be an idle prince.
After hearing this, the third prince thought that the second prince was too interesting.
Your Majesty's original intention of doing business was not to make money.
The fourth prince suddenly remembered that he still owed Jiang Yue one hundred taels of silver.
"Second brother, the young general is in charge of training the troops. How come you are like Your Majesty and don't know how to use people? You want a general to do business? If you want to do business, you should do it with me. I will help you make a fortune."
"Just you?" The second prince said, "Fourth brother, do you have money?"
In one sentence, the Fourth Prince was humiliated.
Deep down in her heart, Jiang Yue naturally agreed.
How could she refuse the opportunity to do business with royal relatives?
"I wonder what kind of business the Second Prince wants to start?"
The Third Prince: "He only knows how to show off his writing skills."
The Fourth Prince: "No, Jiang Yue, forget about this business, Second Prince. Look at me, how am I?"
The Second Prince: "Would you two shut up?"
Today, Jiang Yue drank a total of three glasses of liquor at the Fourth Prince's residence, and then she politely declined the offer on the grounds that she could not drink much.
At the banquet table, she had close contact with the three princes for the first time. She did not feel restrained, but instead found a new way to make money.
However, the three princes knew nothing about business and could not explain it.
They talked very late today, and because of the three princes, she really couldn't leave.
When we got back home, it was almost dusk.
After the next morning court session, she went directly to the military camp in the city.
Today, she also brought her Xuanwu Army with her.
As soon as he arrived, he first instructed Xue Wen and Wu Fei beside him,
"Call the generals!"
"Yes!" The two did as they were told and returned to report in less than a quarter of an hour.
Xue Wen: "General Yue, the soldiers are on leave today!"
That’s right, the huge military camp was empty, and Ding Ping was nowhere to be found.
Jiang Yue: "What a coincidence?"
Wu Fei: "That Captain Ding, no, he is no longer a captain. He is only thinking about making an enemy of you."
"You want to show me your power?" Jiang Yue sneered and walked to the training ground with the Xuanwu Army.
"Xuanwu Army, listen up! Within half an hour, I want to see all the soldiers in the capital. I want to see them alive or dead!
"I obey my orders!"
After the generals left, Jiang Yue stood alone on the high platform of the parade ground, waiting quietly.
The Xuanwu Army acted with swift and resolute force. In less than half an hour, all the soldiers from Lindu City had gathered here.
Of course, except for Ding Ping, his whereabouts are still unknown.
Jiang Yue stood in front of the army, looking at all the generals, and he seemed to be in high spirits.
"Whose order is it that you take a day off today?"
Jiang Yue was so imposing that the generals and soldiers, who had fought with Jiang Yue before, now just stood there respectfully.
The other 5,000 soldiers, having heard of the young general's heroic deeds, originally did not think that a young boy could accomplish anything, and now they did not dare to make any rash comments.
They looked around and saw that all the generals had been taken away by General Chen, and Ding Ping did not come. The highest military rank was centurion.
Then a centurion stepped out and clasped his fists and replied:
"General, we are following the orders of Captain Ding."
"Yesterday, Ding Ping was demoted to a pawn!" Jiang Yue's majestic voice sounded again:
"From today on, no one is allowed to take a day off without the permission of this general!"
"General Chen has been ordered to go to war. I will take over the duties of the garrison commander. From now on, you will obey my orders and defend the capital!"
The soldiers, led by the Xuanwu Army, stood straight, their eyes all focused on Jiang Yue, listening to her deep voice in front of the army.
Even so, the soldiers in the back row couldn't hear what Jiang Yue was saying at all.
Jiang Yue: "Xuanwu Army, step out!"
The Xuanwu Army, led by Xue Wen, came out in unison, their hearts filled with passion.
Following the general, they all rose to high positions.
