Chapter 145 Another Prison
"You're a member of the Jiang family!"
Upon hearing Jiang Yueming's reply, Jiang Daliu's eyes widened instantly, and a look of horror appeared on his face.
It's clear that he also knows what the Jiang family means to the Imperial State.
When he first came out, the carelessness in his eyes had vanished, replaced by a respectful demeanor.
"Young Master Jiang, come in, please come in!"
Jiang Daliu struck a welcoming pose, spreading his hands and bending his back to greet Jiang Yueming as he entered the Yang residence.
Jiang Yueming nodded in satisfaction, took a step forward, and followed Jiang Dafu through the gate.
"Young Master Jiang, what brings you to the Yang residence?" Jiang Daliu asked with a smile as he walked.
Jiang Yueming thought for a moment and came up with a plausible reason, saying, "I heard that war has broken out again on the border, and the patriarch sent me here to gain some experience."
"So you all have to listen to me."
Jiang Yueming added the last sentence, fearing that Yang Fang and the others might make a mistake, since he was indeed just using their power to bully others.
If they find out, things will be difficult to arrange afterwards. It would be better to use power to suppress them from the beginning and quickly quell the matter.
The Jiang family has always been a formidable force to the royal family.
Jiang Dafu's expression quickly confirmed this; he hurriedly nodded and bowed, saying, "Yes, yes, I'll do whatever you say, I'll do whatever you say."
Logically speaking, a steward shouldn't make decisions for his master, but the Jiang family's power is well-known throughout the capital.
Even if Yang Fang knew that he had acted on his own initiative, Yang Fang would not blame him and would certainly agree with his actions.
Because the power of the three families in the Imperial State is so terrifying, they are not even afraid of the royal family, so why would they be afraid of a mere imperial envoy?
Soon, Jiang Dafu led Jiang Yueming to the front hall, where they also met Yang Fang. After hearing the steward's report, Yang Fang smiled and said, "I will do whatever you say, and I will do whatever the Jiang family says."
But Yang Fang seemed to want to save face, after all, Jiang Yueming was only a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child, so he deliberately added "Jiang family" at the end of his sentence.
However, these are all trivial matters. As long as he is afraid of Jiang Yueming and listens to her, that's enough.
As for the Jiang family directly interfering in the royal family's internal affairs, that doesn't matter, since the three families of the Imperial State are much stronger than the royal family.
Even if you take any one of them out of the box, they are far superior to the royal family, so the royal family can only be angry but dare not speak out.
"Lord Yang, listen to me," Jiang Yueming said, sitting in the center of the front hall. "We cannot wage war directly against the Yingquan Clan; we can only make peace. Remember, we must never go to war."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Fang suddenly changed his previous respectful demeanor, smiled, and asked, "May I ask, Young Master Jiang, why is that?"
Jiang Yueming was taken aback, clearly not expecting Yang Fang to ask him this: "Because the Yingquan Clan is so powerful, we have no choice but to temporarily avoid their sharp edge and plan for the future."
"Oh, really?"
Upon hearing Yang Fang's question, Jiang Yueming frowned immediately. He sensed something was amiss. Yang Fang seemed like a different person; his words now lacked the previous respect and awe.
"Lord Yang, what do you mean by that? Do you intend to oppose the Jiang family?" Jiang Yueming slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly, glaring at Yang Fang.
He knew in his heart that only the Jiang family could control the situation at this moment, and that Yang Fang was truly afraid of the Jiang family, not him!
So he didn't hesitate to bring up the Jiang family again to suppress Yang Fang. The contrast between Yang Fang's tone before and after really surprised him.
However, his surprise quickly turned into shock.
"Jiang Yueming, stop pretending. You're just an adopted son of the Jiang family. Do you really think you can command the Jiang family?"
Yang Fang suddenly sneered, his narrow eyes staring at Jiang Yueming with a half-smile.
In this situation, Jiang Yueming did not appear flustered. Instead, she said with an unusually calm expression, "Since you already knew my identity, why did you listen to me first?"
"Heh, why?" Yang Fang suddenly clapped his hands, and dozens of soldiers rushed out from both sides of the hall, saying, "It's all to get you thrown in jail!"
"Take him to jail! No one is to release him without my order!"
As soon as the voice fell, dozens of soldiers rushed up. At first, Jiang Yueming wanted to resist, but his heightened soul power after his advancement suddenly made him realize that these soldiers were actually experts at the fourth stage of the Primordial Realm!
He was immediately alarmed and stopped resisting, allowing the soldiers to take him to prison.
Jiang Yueming was no match for the fourth level of the Primordial Realm experts, and there were more than a dozen of them. But what puzzled him was how this was possible.
When did the border soldiers reach such a high level of skill? No, there must be something he doesn't know.
Therefore, he decided to temporarily comply with the situation in order to plan for the future.
After Jiang Yueming was escorted out of the main hall by more than a dozen soldiers, a man in black robes slowly walked out from behind the screen in the back hall, a sinister smile appearing on his lips.
"Lord Yang, you've done a pretty good job."
Upon hearing this, Yang Fang felt a chill run down his spine and quickly turned around, saying, "Not at all, it's all thanks to your excellent command, sir."
Hearing this flattery, Zhang Yuan just smiled and said, "Remember what I said afterward, and don't ruin the adults' plans, or you won't be able to withstand the Li family's wrath."
"Yes, yes, yes," Yang Fang replied hastily, his face full of fear.
The distinguished guest he was to meet earlier was none other than Lord Zhang Yuan.
When Zhang Yuan came over and told him about the plan, he was initially prepared not to believe him and was ready to kick him out.
But he suddenly pulled out the Li family token from his pocket, which really startled me. You see, compared to Jiang Yueming's empty claim that he was a member of the Jiang family, that Li family token was a real and tangible proof!
Moreover, everyone knows that among the three families of Dizhou, the Li family is the most powerful. Even if Jiang Yueming is the direct descendant of the Jiang family, Yang Fang would not dare to disobey the Li family's orders. If they said they would lock him up, they would lock him up.
"Well, if you want to stay alive, do as I say, or you'll face the consequences!"
After Zhang Yuan finished speaking, he dashed out of the hall and disappeared into the vast sky.
Yang Fang, who remained in the lobby, wiped the sweat from his brow. Judging from his expression, he was still shaken.
This imperial prefecture is about to undergo a major upheaval. The Jiang and Li families have arrived in this small Chu Ting Prefecture in a single day, something that has never been seen before.
However, besides this, Yang Fang is now more concerned about the attack of the British Dog Clan, because the fact that the royal family sent them means that the royal family trusts them. If he can take this opportunity to establish a great achievement, he might be promoted and honored!
As for Jiang Yueming's words about whether they could win or not, he didn't believe it at all. Could the Celestial Empire really not be able to defeat a small foreign barbarian?
