On the way back, the students, who had no idea what had happened in the main hall, got on the carriage they had come in.

The window of Jiang An's private carriage was open, and a bun with a bun on was half lying on the window.

Huo Changming also stuffed his head in to join in the fun, and the golden lock on his neck hit Tuanzi's forehead.

When Jiang An looked up, he saw a golden scene.

The Master stood there alone, his white robe fluttering in the cold wind.

Opposite him were the governor, the county magistrate, and a group of yamen runners who were seeing him off.

The few people said goodbye from a distance.

Two white-haired old men, one represents perseverance and the other represents inheritance.

The team gradually went away at the end of the long street, and only Niang Niang was left accompanying the two-horse carriage protected by black armor.

Jiang An left a group of twenty black-armored soldiers and their leader, Zheng Yan, to the governor.

Wang Si'er could not just kneel down and kowtow to cover up the rude remarks and attempted assassination of Jiang An, the eldest daughter of the Zhenguo Palace.

Wen Shoushi, the governor, will soon go to the Wang family wearing black armor. The entire Wang family will face attacks from the Zhenguo Palace and accountability from the Chongzhou government.

This move is not fair, but it is fine as long as it is justified.

The promotion of winter wheat seedlings encountered great resistance from the Wang family. They openly formed a clique to oppose the governor, and a light beating of Wang Si'er was no different from a child's play.

The purpose of Wen Shoushi's trip is to weaken the power of the Wang family in Jing County or Chongzhou and to intimidate other big families!

Anyway, the crimes committed by the Wang family in Jing County were not unjust.

……

Jiang An returned to the palace and jumped into his father's arms, swinging his noodle-like arms and talking excitedly about what he had seen today.

Of course, this does not include commanding Black Armor to beat people up~

Jiang Jichen held his daughter, who had grown heavier, and walked back to the yard. His narrow eyes swept over Zhenglu and Niangniang who were following him, but he did not ask any questions.

I just want to know if my daughter has eaten enough and is tired...

He waited until after dinner, when Tuanzi had fallen asleep on the bed like a gingerbread.

The old father covered Jiang An with a quilt and personally lowered the curtains on both sides of the bed. Without turning around, he said calmly, "What happened today?"

Zheng Lu, who was standing outside, spoke first and told the prince everything word for word, even including the follow-up after the governor went to the Wang family.

Wang Si'er had no official position and was protected by his ancestors, so he was not imprisoned by the government, but he was fined and had a lot of money confiscated. He almost had his ancestral land taken away by the governor. I heard that many of the elders in his family were carried down from the hall by servants this afternoon...

Jiang Jichen sat on the couch and tapped the small table with his fingertips, "Wang Family..."

The man half-lidded his eyes, his expression unrecognisable in the dim light, "Tomorrow you will take your soldiers with you on another trip."

He didn't care about the winter wheat seedlings.

But bullying his daughter, do you really think that his title as the living king of hell on the battlefield is just a joke?

Zhenglu responded in a deep voice, his strong eyes and brows eager to try.

Jiang Jichen waved his hand to let everyone leave, and he also left the room. He did not forget to ask Niangniang to apply some ointment to Tuanzi and massage his arm, so that he would not feel pain when he woke up tomorrow...

He took the cloak from Guan Yan's hand, and the master and servant walked along the corridor back to the study in the front yard.

The study door was half-open. Jiang Jichen walked in without changing his expression.

"Why are you here with me instead of resting in the yard?"

Hu Yan held the chess piece in one hand, his eyes fixed on the chessboard, and chuckled, "Your Majesty, I will go back to the barracks. I have nothing to do but study the chess manual."

"No, I'm here to find the prince to break the deadlock!"

Jiang Jichen shook off the frost on his cloak and sneered.

"Wait a moment, I will write a note to the old master to ask for leave from An."

With a "click", the chess piece fell on the chessboard, and the dying chess game became strange again.

Hu Yan rolled up his sleeves, as if remembering something interesting.

"Speaking of Master, I just remembered that I received a letter from him."

"The words were full of praise for his new pupil."

Hu Yan said this after careful consideration. It's not a compliment at all, it's clearly bragging. How shameless!

He kept it a secret when he first accepted the student, but after only a few days he couldn't help but start showing off!

Jiang Jichen sat behind the desk, writing on the paper with a wolf-hair brush, a smile on his face.

He said in a serious tone: "My daughter is indeed very smart!"

Hu Yan covered his cheek, feeling a sour feeling in his teeth. You really have no reserve at all!

The two of them discussed the recent situation while playing chess.

The candles in the study were replaced one after another until Guan Yan knocked on the door to remind the prince that it was already midnight. Jiang Jichen threw away the chess piece.

The man stood up, his bones making crackling sounds, his voice still sounding sleepy, "It's getting late, I have to accompany An to the outskirts of the city to look at the wasteland tomorrow, you can study it yourself."

Hu Yan, still absorbed in the chess game, waved his hand but did not respond.

Guan Yan stood outside the door, looking helpless, "Military Advisor Hu, Uncle Sun has told you that you need to rest well so that you can get better quickly..."

"If he knew that you stayed up all night studying chess in your study, he would scold you again!"

Hu Yan stretched his stiff neck and said with emotion: "I never thought that I would be restricted in such trivial matters at the age of 20."

"Forget it, I won't embarrass you."

Guan Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

The next second, Strategist Hu picked up the chessboard...

Guan Yan:!

The little subordinate looked at the prince who was watching the show as if asking for help.

Jiang Jichen's eyebrows were indifferent, but his eyes followed the chessboard in Hu Yan's hand closely, "This chessboard was brought back to me by An when he went out to play a few days ago..."

So, let it go!

Finally, the study door was slammed shut.

Hu Yan held a fan in one hand, still looking elegant and gentlemanly, with a look of regret on his face, "Let me remember the chess game!"

Jiang Jichen glanced at him and frowned. Has he gone crazy because of being bored?

"If you are bored, go to the outskirts of the city with me tomorrow..."

Hu Yan clapped his hands, "Then I would like to thank you, Your Majesty!"

Jiang Jichen pursed his lips and said three words as he turned and left.

"Old fox!"

Feelings, this is his purpose!

Guan Yan secretly gave Hu Yan a thumbs up. The military advisor was really good, and the prince really dared to lie!

Three people walked along the corridor in different directions. As the lights in the study went out, the palace returned to peace.

I don't know if Hu Yan will be accompanying you on this trip to the suburbs, or if there is also the governor.

Wen Shoushi, who had just filled the government storehouse, was almost grinning from ear to ear. Tuanzi, who was confused and very sleepy, couldn't understand why someone could be so happy when waking up in the morning.

Due to the topography of Chongzhou Prefecture, only the northern and western suburbs of the entire square city have wasteland, while the other two directions are all contiguous mountains where the main camp of the National Defense Army is stationed.

Today Jiang An and his friends came to the northern suburbs.

After getting off the carriage, Jiang An saw these abandoned fields for the first time...

Her feet stepped on the solid frozen soil, and when she looked into the distance, she saw patches of white on the black ground. Those were the snow that had not yet melted.

The accompanying servant was building a simple shed. The governor took the geomancy map of the fields in the northern suburbs from the clerk.

In the atlas, the wells and fields are arranged in an orderly manner, but in reality they are barren and the boundaries between the wells and fields have long been blurred...
