The Jiang Prefecture Lord received the news from the yamen's yamen before Xie Qingrong and Lin An could arrive. He dressed in his official's robes and rushed over to the county yamen's hall in a hurry, waiting for Xie Qingrong and Lin An's arrival.
Although he had never seen the two before, but hearing that the two of them had brought Xuanyuan Chen's order badge, their origins were definitely not small.
After instructing the bailiff to boil a hot tea, he anxiously paced back and forth. He was extremely worried that he would not be able to receive a proper guest.
Xie Qingrong and Lin An walked into the hall and saw the Lord Prefect standing with his hands behind his back.
Lin An coughed lightly and said: "Lord Jiang."
Jiang Yizhou immediately regained his senses, he turned and bowed respectfully: "This official greets the two Masters, may I know how to address the two Masters?"
Lin An pointed to the Xie Qingrong beside him and introduced him, "This is His Highness Crown Prince's main wife. As for me, Lord Jiang can just call me General Lin."
Jiang Yizhou nodded his head as he replied in a carefree manner, "Crown Princess, General Lin. I wonder what business the Crown Prince has in sending you two to Jiang Prefecture? "
Xie Qingrong turned to the side, and faced Jiang Yizhou directly. Just now, when Xie Qingrong turned to his side to face Jiang Yizhou, Jiang Yizhou had not yet detected the cold aura coming from Xie Qingrong's body.
However, when he faced Xie Qingrong's cold face, he could feel the ice-cold aura being emitted from Xie Qingrong's body.
"Lord Jiang." Xie Qingrong shouted lightly, and Jiang Yizhou immediately answered. Xie Qingrong glanced at Jiang Yizhou and continued to speak: "I and General Lin have come to protect Jiang Prefecture on the orders of your highness the crown prince. Hearing Lord Jiang's tone just now, could it be that he is dissatisfied with His Highness' decision? "
Jiang Yizhou shook his head and said flattering: "This official does not dare. "I hope that the Crown Princess can tell me about this matter in the Jiang Prefecture, and that I can cooperate with her as much as possible."
"Since Lord Jiang is willing to cooperate with me, I will do my best to protect the Jiang Prefecture." Xie Qingrong said indifferently. He first beat him and then gave him a few sweet dates, making him completely obedient.
No matter how headless and headstrong Jiang Yizhou was, he would not dare to challenge the esteemed Xie Qingrong.
Before long, the butler of the Jiang manor brought out the freshly brewed tea and Jiang Yizhou personally poured a cup for Xie Qingrong. Xie Qingrong took the teacup from Jiang Yizhou's hand and thanked him sincerely.
He took a shallow sip of hot tea without any particular fragrance. He took a sip of hot tea and felt his stomach warm. The cold air he felt earlier had dissipated quite a bit.
"Lord Jiang, if it wasn't for you finding out something fishy in the nick of time, I'm afraid that Jiang Zhou City wouldn't have survived. For the peace of the Jiang Zhou City. In the past few days, I needs your assistance at all times. " Xie Qingrong said coldly.
She and Lin An were not familiar with the terrain of the Jiang Zhou City at all, and even if it was her, it was impossible for her to complete the map in just a short few days.
He could only rely on Jiang Yizhou's familiarity with the Jiang Zhou City.
"That's only natural. This official will do his best. What does the princess consort need this official to do?" Jiang Yizhou asked.
Xie Qingrong said: "Lord Jiang, this Jiang Zhou City has people who are extremely familiar with the terrain of the Jiang Prefecture. When the time comes, we will deploy our forces and set up traps.
"This …" Jiang Yizhou paused for a moment, thought, and said: "This official is truly not sure, I only came to the Jiang Province a few years ago to take up my position. "However, there is a man who has been keeping a record in the government office. He is a native of Jiang Prefecture, so he must know and understand Jiang Prefecture very well."
Xie Qingrong lightly glanced at Jiang Yizhou. Xuanyuan Chen had told her before that although Jiang Yizhou was upright and honest, he was headstrong and was a difficult bone to chew.
Now that he had met her, it was different.
He placed the teacup on the table at the side and laughed lightly: "Since that's the case, then bring that Mr. Clerk over. I'll have to trouble you with that."
Jiang Yizhou shook his head and said: "It's not troublesome."
They sent someone to invite Mr. Clerk from his home.
When Mr. Clerk saw the anxious look on the servant's face when he was reporting to him, he became even more anxious. He did not even bother to finish half his lunch as he rushed from his home to the main hall of the county.
Just as he entered the hall, he was stopped in his tracks by the stifling tension in the hall.
He saw a heroic looking woman sitting at the head of the group. She was dressed as a man, but unexpectedly did not have the air of a woman. Instead, she had the air and dignity of a person in power.
And his family's master was standing below him quietly.
With a bit of calculation in his heart, he retracted his measuring gaze and respectfully saluted Jiang Yizhou. May I know the reason why sire has called me here? "
Jiang Yizhou didn't answer Mr. Clerk's question. Instead, he turned to introduce Xie Qingrong, who was seated at the head, to Lin An, who was sitting slightly lower than him, "This is Heavenly Sage Kingdom's princess consort, and that is General Lin."
"This lowly one greets the princess consort and the General Lin." When Mr. Clerk heard about the two's distinguished and illustrious identities, his heart involuntarily trembled, but he still tried his best to stabilize his body. At the very least, he could not lose face for Lord Jiang.
"I never thought that a mere Jiang Zhou City would actually have so many crouching tigers and hidden dragons. It's quite rare for a Mr. Clerk to be so calm and collected." Xie Qingrong took a sip of tea and praised.
Seeing the neither arrogant nor impatient Mr. Clerk, the smile on his face thickened.
"I heard that Mr. Clerk is a person from Jiang Prefecture, so I should be well versed in the topography of the Jiang Prefecture. I hope that Mr. Clerk can coordinate with I's actions in the next few months. This is also the reason why Mr. Clerk was hastily invited here. " Xie Qingrong explained blandly.
"This …" Mr. Clerk was shocked by Xie Qingrong's words and hesitated for a moment.
Xie Qingrong shot a glance at Mr. Clerk, and saw the hesitation on his face clearly, the smile on his face dimmed slightly, "What? Mr. Clerk is not willing? Do you feel like it's a bit too lame? "
Only now did Mr. Clerk realize that his expression just now was extremely inappropriate. His face immediately paled and he kneeled on the ground, trying to hold back the trembling in his throat.
I did not mean it that way. [I am just surprised that the Crown Princess actually believes in me. It is unbelievable.] "Princess Consort, aren't you afraid that I will screw this up?"
Xie Qingrong pursed her lips, and with a smile that was not a smile, she glanced at the Mr. Clerk kneeling on the ground. Suddenly, she stood up and looked down at Mr. Clerk from above.
He smiled slightly and said: "I has always respected talented people, if Lord Jiang recommends this, then there must be something special about it. It is precisely because of this that this I will entrust this important task to you, and definitely do not disappoint the respect that Lord Jiang and this I have for you. "
With both grace and power, Mr. Clerk suppressed the excited emotions in his heart and heavily kowtowed, thanking the Crown Princess and Jiang Yizhou for their appreciation.
