Chapter 721: 8 miles of urgent work, Jiangnan is in danger!
Two days later, in the capital.
A fast horse rushed into the city gate of the capital and headed straight for the Dajing Palace!
It is said that riding horses is not allowed in the capital!
However, no one dared to stop this warhorse!
Because on the back of the warhorse, there was a flag specially used for the 800-mile express train!
"Eight hundred miles in a hurry!? What happened?!"
"Is there another incident at the border?!"
"That's impossible! Didn't the border just become stable?!"
"Then what's going on? Where does the 800-mile rush come from?!"
"This……"
The people of the capital city became panicked when they saw the flag that indicated the urgent message of 800 miles away!
As the cavalry, which had traveled 800 miles in an emergency, arrived at the palace, Eunuch Zhang, Cai Jing, and other important figures in the capital all knew the news!
"Eight hundred miles in a hurry? Could something have happened in Jiangnan?"
When Eunuch Zhang learned that a war horse with an express speed of 800 miles appeared, the first place he thought of was Jiangnan!
On the other hand, the same was true for Cai Jing.
Eight hundred miles express, what is the situation in Jiangnan?
Could it be that the imperial court's reinforcements were defeated by Dajing? ?
This... this is impossible! ?
Cai Jing couldn't believe it!
But soon, news came from the palace, summoning Cai Jing, Eunuch Zhang, and Jiang Chen into the palace!
At the same time, Mrs. Shao also learned the news.
"Yao Chao, what do you think is going on?"
"The imperial army will not be defeated, right?"
Mrs. Shao looked at Yao Chao in shock.
Yao Chao just smiled slightly and said, "Haha, Madam, the imperial army will definitely be defeated!"
"An army of 30,000 cannot possibly be a match for the Eighth Sage King!"
"Now, it is estimated that the Eighth Sage King has already fought his way out of Jiangnan and is heading straight to the capital!"
……
Yao Chao is indeed the most trusted counselor under the Eighth Wise Kings!
He guessed what the Eighth Wise King had done in an instant.
"Heading straight to the capital!?"
"Yao Chao, are you saying... the Eighth Sage King is coming to attack the capital!?"
"Isn't this possible? The Eighth Wise King has the guts to do this!"
Mrs. Shao looked incredulous.
"Madam, since the Eighth Sage King has already declared war on the imperial court, there is nothing he dares not do!"
"What's more, the Eighth Sage King has at least 70,000 troops under his command, and he should be able to mobilize 50,000!"
"If these 50,000 people head straight for the capital, the capital will be caught off guard and will probably suffer a loss!"
"Now, in the capital, besides the defenders inside the city, there are only 20,000 guards!"
"All these people together, at most, would make an army of 50,000 to 60,000!"
"The Eighth Wise King may not be without the ability to fight!"
Yao Chao said in a deep voice.
But Mrs. Shao was already stunned at this time!
If the Eighth Wise Kings really attacked the capital, what would they do?
If the Eighth Wise King knew that Yao Chao was in her Shao family, he probably wouldn't let them go!
This……
Mrs. Shao became extremely nervous when she thought of this.
Seeing Madam Shao's nervous look, Yao Chao smiled and comforted her, "Madam, don't be nervous. If Emperor Dajing sends Jiang Chen to fight against the Eighth Sage King, then the Eighth Sage King will never be able to enter the capital!"
"So, don't panic."
"Jiang Chen?"
Madam Shao asked doubtfully, "Jiang Chen, is he that powerful?"
“Hahaha, Madam, you underestimate Jiang Chen’s influence in Jiangnan!”
"The people of Jiangnan all regard Jiang Chen as their savior!"
"Once Jiang Chen takes action, the rear of the Eighth Sage King will be in chaos!"
"How can we fight then?"
……
After hearing Yao Chao's analysis, Mrs. Shao nodded slightly.
"It seems that Jiang Chen is really difficult to deal with!"
"This time, I think he will make another contribution!"
When Yao Chao heard what Mrs. Shao said, he did not say anything.
It is true that Jiang Chen wants to make achievements, but Jiang Chen's attitude towards Dajing is a bit strange.
The future is really uncertain!
On the other side, Jiang Chen and the other two had already arrived at the imperial study in the palace.
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
After Jiang Chen and the other two entered the imperial study, they respectfully saluted Emperor Dajing.
"My three beloved ministers, please stand up quickly!"
"I called you here today because I have something important to tell you!"
"Jiangnan, something happened!"
Emperor Dajing said very nervously.
"Something happened in Jiangnan?"
Jiang Chen and the other two coordinated to look shocked!
"Yes! Something happened in Jiangnan!"
Emperor Dajing gritted his teeth and said, "I just received an urgent message from Jiangnan, saying that the 30,000 troops sent by the court were defeated and more than half of them were lost!"
"The Eighth Sage King has already left Jiangnan and is heading straight to the capital!"
"What!?"
When Eunuch Zhang and Cai Jing heard this, their faces changed instantly!
Although they had long anticipated that something might happen in Jiangnan!
But now, this matter is a bit unexpected!
The Eighth Sage King left Jiangnan and headed straight for the capital...
"Your Majesty, I suggest that we should send troops immediately to stop the Eighth Sage King's team!"
"Yes, I think what Lord Cai said makes sense. The Eighth Sage King is now coming to the capital. If he really kills his way to the vicinity of the capital, then the capital will be in danger!"
Cai Jing and Eunuch Zhang spoke up after this case, both wanting to keep the Eighth Wise King out.
……
But after hearing what the two said, Emperor Dajing looked at Jiang Chen again.
"Lord Jiang, what do you think about this?"
"Ok?"
When Eunuch Zhang and Cai Jing heard Emperor Dajing asking for Jiang Chen's opinion, they all turned and looked at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen is quite good at leading troops to fight!
Naturally, they also wanted to see what Jiang Chen had to say.
When Jiang Chen saw that Emperor Dajing, Eunuch Zhang, and Cai Jing were all looking at him, he actually acted terrified and said, "Your Majesty! I don't know!"
"What!? I don't know!?"
When Emperor Dajing heard what Jiang Chen said, he was shocked!
How could Jiang Chen not know?!
Even Cai Jing and Eunuch Zhang were extremely shocked when they heard Jiang Chen's words!
They didn't expect Jiang Chen to answer like this!
"Your Majesty, I am a civil official and do not wish to interfere in the affairs of military commanders!"
"Your Majesty, I suggest that you consult General Wu on this matter!"
Jiang Chen said respectfully.
However, when Emperor Dajing and Eunuch Zhang Cai Jing heard what Jiang Chen said, they all looked very unhappy.
Jiang Chen definitely knew this!
He doesn't want to say it!
Jiang Chen must have been pissed off by those generals!
"Lord Jiang! I know those generals went too far before, but now is not the time to act on impulse!"
"I have decided to send you to lead the troops to fight against the Eighth Wise King!"
"how do you feel?"
Emperor Dajing said this with a serious expression.
At this moment, Emperor Dajing exuded an irresistible majesty!
Seeing Emperor Dajing like this, Jiang Chen took a deep breath and said, "If Your Majesty wants me to fight, I will naturally obey, but... I have three requests!"
