The number one rebel of the Great Wu

Lin Dequan was startled and could only turn around and run over in small, quick steps.

With a smile on her face, she asked cautiously.

"Is there anything else you need, Steward Chen?"

"When you were imprisoning me, you could proudly drag me around this huge Crown Prince's residence."

"If you take me back now, I'll let you carry me on your back and swim a lap around the lake. That shouldn't be too much to ask, right?"

Chen Changgeng asked with a smile.

"Not at all! Of course not!"

"We'll carry you back right now!"

Lin Dequan quickly turned his back and squatted down in front of Chen Changgeng, his expression suddenly turning cold.

He will never forget the humiliation he suffered today!

……

General errand room.

Nearly half an hour later.

Lin Dequan carried Chen Changgeng on his back and finally made it to the door step by step.

During this time, they also encountered Shen Qingci.

To everyone's surprise, Shen Qingci simply smiled when she saw this scene, as if she were just watching two friends playing around.

During this time, Lin Dequan tried to bow and take the opportunity to escape, but Shen Qingci waved him off, saying that he was exempt from the formalities.

When everyone in the janitor's room saw Chen Changgeng being carried back by Steward Lin, their eyes were filled with undisguised joy.

After Lin Dequan left, Xiao Xizi and Xiao Fuzi immediately rushed to greet him with great joy.

"Manager Chen, you're quite capable! Even Chief Steward Lin is completely subdued by you!"

"My reverence for you is like a surging river, never-ending!"

"It seems that it's only a matter of time before Steward Chen replaces Chief Steward Lin as the head steward of the Crown Prince's residence!"

"When the time comes, please don't forget to give us some pointers!"

Chen Changgeng waved his hand calmly and looked at Xiao Xizi.

"Little Xizi, you're back so soon."

"But is everything taken care of?"

Xiao Xizi quickly came over and bowed.

"As you predicted, sir, it's exactly the same!"

Chen Changgeng nodded.

"Did we alert the enemy?"

"No, no, I only peeked from the shadows."

"Having confirmed the facts, they rushed back as fast as they could."

"I dare not delay in doing things for you, sir!"

Chen Changgeng was very satisfied.

Both Xiao Xizi and Xiao Fuzi are quite clever. With proper training and some practice, they could be very effective.

Perhaps it could really become a good knife!

However, Chen Changgeng didn't want to think about the issue of loyalty.

Such lackeys only care about money and powerful backers; they have no loyalty whatsoever.

"Great, now we have this leverage over us."

"If Steward Lin still wants to make things difficult for me on this matter, then I'll give him another good whack."

Chen Changgeng thought to himself.

Meanwhile, as soon as Steward Lin left the errand room, Xiao Duozi went to greet him.

"Steward Lin, this brat has thoroughly humiliated you today; I couldn't bear to watch any longer!"

"He's hateful! He deserves to die!"

Lin Dequan was already covered in sweat and his steps were unsteady.

Looking at Xiao Duozi, who was stirring up trouble again, she felt a lot of grievances in her heart, with nowhere to vent them.

He immediately mustered his strength and slapped her across the face!

Xiao Duozi was so stunned by the slap that he didn't understand what was happening. He could only kneel down on the ground with a thud and say pitifully.

"Steward Lin, why did you hit me!"

"You know nothing!"

"If it weren't for your and Wang Youcai's greed, I, the steward, wouldn't be suffering such humiliation today!"

"From today onwards, every single servant in this mansion will have to fawn over that young Gengzi!"

Lin Dequan was so angry that he was trembling all over!

He tried to avenge Wang Youcai twice, and both times he ended up in such a sorry state.

In his opinion, it was time to abandon the relationship between Wang Youcai and Xiao Duozi!

"This servant's heart will always belong to Steward Lin!"

Xiao Duozi immediately shouted loudly.

Lin Dequan gave a soft snort and turned his head to look in the direction of the errand room.

"This little eunuch is cunning, scheming, and capable."

"Now that I'm clinging to the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, even I can't shake them."

"Don't provoke him again until you're fully prepared, do you understand?"

Although Xiao Duozi looked puzzled, he quickly agreed.

"Get out of here, you damned lackey!"

Lin Dequan waved his hand, then walked towards his bedroom with a limp and a punch.

Although he also hated Chen Changgeng to the core, he could only swallow his anger and resentment for the time being.

If he didn't even have this much ability, his position as chief steward would have been taken over long ago!

The main hall of the Crown Prince's residence.

Jiang Baiwei composed herself and quickly walked inside.

At this moment, the Crown Prince was chatting and laughing with his grandfather in the hall.

It turned out that they were talking about the Battle of Sekigahara and the suppression of the northern rebels, Shuo and Gan.

Back then, Shuohe, a remnant of the previous dynasty in Yunzhou, dared to rebel and secretly colluded with the Japanese in the northern part of Dawu, intending to annex Yunzhou.

Crown Prince Xiao Lie was only sixteen years old at the time, and was ordered to lead troops to fight against the enemy alongside the Jiang family.

Back then, Xiao Lie was still a vanguard under his grandfather!

In this battle, Crown Prince Xiao Lie personally led two thousand elite soldiers, stormed into the enemy camp, captured Shuo Hegan alive, and made a great contribution.

When Jiang Boheng brought up the old story and praised him, Crown Prince Xiao Lie was overjoyed!

"It's a pity that Father Emperor is now old and no longer has the vigor he once had."

"The evidence is conclusive that the White Di and Red Di forces outside Yunzhou disguised themselves as mountain bandits and robbed passing merchants."

"But they keep delaying the war, insisting on some ridiculous policy of 'pacifying the people'!"

Xiao Lie shook his head repeatedly, wishing he could rush to the battlefield immediately and kill the enemy with gusto.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Boheng simply smiled and remained silent.

Crown Prince Xiao Lie said it was outside Yunzhou, but in reality, the incident occurred several hundred miles away from Yunzhou.

If it weren't for the Jiang family's generations of guarding Yunzhou, those villains would have long since crossed the border and started burning, killing, and looting along the Dawu border.

"The Di tribes had a wide reach, with branches extending from the west to the north."

"If the Crown Prince wishes to wage war, he can certainly seek a recommendation from the Shen family."

"After all, I've heard that the Shen family has been frequently at war with the Di, and if the Crown Prince goes to the Northwest, he will surely achieve great military exploits!"

Jiang Baiwei stepped in and picked up the conversation.

The Jiang family was different from the Shen family. Although the Shen family was based in the Northwest, most of its members were officials in the capital and were very wealthy.

The Jiang family, however, was far away in Yunzhou and was subject to the control of the imperial court. They were constantly on guard against being accused of holding military power and having the suspicion of rebellion, so they dared not make any rash moves.

If Crown Prince Xiao Lie truly intends to use the Jiang family to go abroad and annihilate the Di people in order to gain merit for himself, then he will be wasting the Jiang family's resources.

"Hey!"

"I have no desire to go to that godforsaken place in the Northwest!"

"The desert stretches as far as the eye can see, nowhere is it as comfortable as Yunzhou!"

Xiao Lie had finally spoken his mind.

Yunzhou is rich in resources, but there is relatively little trade. However, if Xiao Lie really goes there, he will definitely have more than enough good wine and meat to eat.

In contrast, if you go to the Northwest, it will be difficult to eat meat and drink alcohol!

"The young general is back?"

Shen Qingci then walked in with a smile, glanced at Jiang Boheng, and sat down gracefully.

"I have already inquired with the Shen family."

"If General Jiang really needs it, my Shen family can provide five hundred personal guards to escort you two back to Yun."

If this matter is settled, it will bring the Shen family and the Jiang family closer together.

The Crown Prince's momentum is unstoppable!

Although Jiang Boheng has not yet explicitly expressed his support for the Crown Prince, the fact that he has opened up avenues for discussion has already made Shen Qingci very happy.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Boheng turned his head, tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and asked Jiang Baiwei with concern.

"Bai Wei, how's it going with the young master's medical treatment for you?"
