Chapter 120: Defeating the Beiyan People
This is what Shen Xueying likes about Jiang Chen. He seems to be calm and calm, but in fact he sees everything and understands everything clearly.
Indeed, for the Night Punishment Department, the most important and most difficult thing at the moment is to keep an eye on those in the Beiyan Mission to ensure that they will not cause any trouble in the royal capital.
Having said this, Jiang Chen remembered the time Xiao Tong set up the arena.
Shen Xueying said: "My Dagang is full of talented people, hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Didn't you say this yourself? I think there should be capable people with lofty ideals who will come forward to save face for Dagan."
"You say that because the identity of the Night Criminal Division makes it inconvenient to come forward. If there is a big fight with the envoy, the matter will not end well. It would be much easier to handle it if it were a person with no official background. .”
Jiang Chen once again accurately stated the essence of the matter, but he kindly reminded Shen Xueying: "There is a person who doesn't take this matter to heart at all. I advise you to watch him and don't let him do anything wrong."
Shen Xueying smiled and knew that the person Jiang Chen was talking about was Lu Santong.
I heard that after the Beiyan delegation entered the city, they ignored the good official conduct and went to the crowded downtown to show off their power. They also made arrogant and rude remarks in front of the people in the city. Lu Santong's lungs were about to explode with anger. .
When an opportunity presented itself to teach the Beiyan people a lesson, of course he would not miss it.
The next day, the Beiyan flag was hung outside the post house where the Beiyan delegation was staying, and a banner with black characters on a white background threatened to challenge the whole city. Anyone who dared to step into the post house would be punished regardless of victory or defeat. You will receive ten taels of gold.
Their purpose is to completely destroy the spirit of the people of Daqian in the capital of Daqian, and let everyone know that there is no chance of winning against Beiyan.
In just one hour, there were more than thirty warriors who went to fight because they could not stand Beiyan's provocation. However, in the end, they were all carried out without exception.
Among these people, some were so seriously injured that they were pronounced dead on the way to the hospital.
For a time, dark clouds enveloped the entire Jinyang City, and the people in the city were shocked. Are the people of Beiyan really invincible monsters?
There is a despairing silence that is spreading rapidly. If the people are silent and dare not make a sound, it means that they are really disappointed with Daqian.
Jiang Chen and Shen Xueying were sitting in the private room of Zuisheng Building. The hot tea on the table was made by Jiang Chen himself. This time, he specially brought it for Shen Xueying to taste together.
From time to time, a clerk came to deliver messages outside the window, as many as eighteen times, but what he brought was always bad news. So far, no one has been able to defeat the Beiyan people, so that everyone can feel proud.
There would be no guests in Zuisheng Building during the day, and everyone unanimously cared about the arena in the post house, so this scene happened.
Even the women who commit themselves to brothels are related to the honor and disgrace of the country. Daqian is not hopeless, and none of those who dare to challenge him accepts the humiliating twelve taels of gold.
"If this continues, the street will have to be quiet." Shen Xueying said lightly. The expression on her face could not tell whether she was worried or indifferent.
Jiang Chen didn't answer, he asked Shen Xueying: "How about my scented tea?"
"It's rich and fragrant, with a unique taste. I've tasted a lot of good teas exclusively for the palace, but none of them are as special as yours."
Shen Xueying changed the topic and asked Jiang Chen: "Are you really not planning to take action? If you go, you will definitely make the people of Beiyan settle down."
Due to considerations from the Night Punishment Department, Shen Xueying did not want the imperial court's majesty to be undermined, but she also did not want someone who was neither serious nor serious to appear and completely provoke a serious conflict with the Beiyan people.
Therefore, the most suitable person to come forward to solve this matter is actually Jiang Chen. In her mind, this is the best choice.
"It's easy to ask me to take action, but not now."
"Why?"
Jiang Chen smiled slightly, "If I am the only one who can fight in the entire Daqian, how much help will it have to the majesty of the entire Daqian?"
"Lu Santong will definitely go anyway, it's better to let him go first, and we can clean up the mess later."
Shen Xueying was about to say that she had warned Lu Santong and told him not to get involved in this matter, but soon the latest news came from her subordinates: Lu Santong appeared in front of the post house where the Beiyan people were staying.
"This subordinate of yours will not give you this face."
Jiang Chen poured another cup of tea for Shen Xueying to calm her down, but don't get angry now, it would be too shameful.
While they were sitting quietly chatting, Lu Santong had already shown off his skills in the ring, defeating three powerful Beiyan players in a row, finally earning face for Da Gan, but he obviously had not yet met the arrogant Xiao Tong.
"After losing three people in a row, Lu Santong now wants to compete with Xiao Tong, the envoy of Beiyan. If he can win, the people of Beiyan will lower their flags and kneel down to apologize to the people in the city in public."
The people who came to deliver the news could not hide their excitement.
Lu Santong's action boosted everyone's spirits. As long as he can win, the humiliation suffered before will disappear, and the long-pressed emotions of the people in the city will be released.
Jiang Chen drank the last cup of tea, stood up slowly and said, "It's time to go over and clean up the mess."
"Do you think Lu Santong will definitely lose?"
Shen Xueying knew Lu Santong very well. Although this person had many shortcomings in character, in terms of skills, he was by no means average.
So she didn't quite understand why Jiang Chen was so sure that Lu Santong would lose. After all, he was from the Night Criminal Division, so he always wanted an explanation.
Jiang Chen said matter-of-factly: "It's not that Lu Santong is incompetent, it's that his opponent is very strong. I can't see through this person's background. Lu Santong acted impulsively and was so angry that he lost for a while before the fight even started." .”
"So the chance of him winning is slim."
While they were talking, the two of them came to the post house and saw Lu Santong's Fang Tian painted halberd stuck on the long pole used to hang the Beiyan flag. This was quite a provocation.
There are many people around who are concerned about the battle and are eagerly looking forward to it. They are eager to know the result. The victory just now gave them confidence and hope. Lu Santong cannot afford to lose now.
The sound of fighting coming from inside stopped suddenly at this moment, and Lu Santong's tall figure slowly stepped out from inside, but his face looked slightly pale.
The next moment, his body stagnated slightly, and he was about to fall forward, but Jiang Chen took the lead and put a hand on his shoulder.
