Chapter 245 Imperial Envoy [Part 1]

After arriving at the station, all the supplies given by the people were delivered to the Lion Flame Army's baggage. After the Lion Flame Army set off, tens of thousands of ordinary people reluctantly gave them farewells, sending them nearly ten miles away before watching the large troops of the Lion Flame Army leave their sight.

...

That afternoon, after returning to the Shenliu City, Jiang Lie asked his soldiers to return to the Lion Flame Army's garrison to rectify, and he and Duan Biao rode their horses to the headquarters of the Shenliu Army.

When Xu Youzhi saw Jiang Lie and Duan Biao coming in a hurry, he asked them to sit down and ordered someone to serve tea.

"Jiang Lie, okay!" Xu Youzhi sat next to Jiang Lie and dusted the sand stained with his body. "Terror first and then report, who will teach you? As the commander of the Lion Flame Army, you can freely dispatch troops, but when you go to Jinshan County, you are still the tiger spirit. This matter is quite serious. Without my instructions or the emperor's instructions, you took a clawed force to Jinshan. Do you know what you call it? You call leaving your post without leaving your post!"

Jiang Lie lowered his head and whispered: "Brother Youzhi, I think you should be able to understand that Jinshan is in a hurry. If you delay for a moment, the people there will live more time in dire straits. I really can't wait. Human life is at stake, so we have to put people first. This is a special situation. I have to leave the post as you said."

Xu Youzhi stretched out his hand: "Stop talking nonsense, where is the battle report?"

Jiang Lie raised his head in an instant: "The battle report, no written."

"Didn't write?" Xu Youzhi frowned, "It's okay if you leave your post without permission, it's okay if you go out to surrender demons. Since you have come back, it seems that the battle situation should be good. Why can't you bear to write a war report?"

Jiang Lie lowered his head again: "This is the first time I have led the army to fight as a commander. I don't know what else to write a war report... Besides, I haven't seen any documents for my Lion Flame Army..."

"What? Do you still need documents? Are you not able to recognize words by yourself? Or do you know how to write?" Xu Youzhi chuckled and said seriously, "It's okay if you haven't written it, hurry up, tell me the situation of the battle? What are the casualties?"

Jiang Lie slowly raised his head: "The situation of the battle, that is, the two hundred tiger spirits, we killed some of them, and the rest surrendered to us. Overall, we fought a perfect victory. As for the casualties, no one died, but some injuries were injured and sick. About a dozen soldiers were infected with the cold when they were not accustomed to the environment, but they were all cured by drinking some hot water. Another guy cut a hole in his finger while cutting vegetables. There were also several war horses that were over-exercising, which caused cramps."

Xu Youzhi laughed and said, "As a matter of course, you will never let me down! In this world, I am afraid there is nothing you dare not do, I am afraid there is nothing you can do! Fortunately, you won the battle this time, and it is a triumphant success! If you lose the battle without leaving your post, you will definitely be dead! Seeing that you have won the battle and surrendered the tiger spirit, I have to give you a reward for your merits! Now, go back and wash up first, change into your official uniform, and go into the palace to find the emperor. The emperor is thinking about you!"

A sentence suddenly popped up in Jiang Lie's mind - I'm not afraid of thieves stealing, but I'm afraid of thieves thinking about it.

However, no matter how bad the actual relationship is, on the surface, Jiang Lie still has to take into account the basic etiquette of the monarch and his subjects with Yuan Guocai.

So, after Jiang Lie said goodbye to Xu Youzhi, he rushed back to Jiang Mansion first.

Jiang Nianheng is growing up every day and changes every day. After these days, his face has become much rounder and his agile eyes are getting brighter and brighter.

When Jiang Lie saw Jiang Nianheng in the house, he wanted to reach out to hug him, but Yuan Nan'er stopped him.

"You go to bathe and change your clothes first, and you're smelly. Don't get Nian Heng up. Go quickly. I have a lot to say to you." Yuan Nan'er said, and asked Yingmei to lead Jiang Lie to bathe.

After taking a comfortable bath and changing clothes, Jiang Lie sat on the bed, holding Jiang Nianheng and shaking back and forth.

Yuan Nan'er leaned her head against Jiang Lie's shoulder and said softly: "You lazy guy, you went to war without saying a word. I will only know when you leave. I haven't heard of it for so many days. Do you know how worried I am about you?"

"I know, I know so much!" Jiang Lie sighed, "There is nothing to do. If it weren't for the 100,000-year-old, I would definitely have to go home first and say goodbye to our sister-in-law Lie. But this is not the case. The situation there is too unoptimistic and I can't afford to delay it, so I can't do anything."

"Okay..." Yuan Nan'er choked and said, "I understand you, I just... just... just complaining. Have you... won the battle? Are you injured?"

Jiang Lie held Jiang Nianheng with one hand and gently pinched Yuan Nan'er's cheek with the other hand: "Do you think I can still defeat the battle? If you haven't won the battle, how can I be so handsome to come back? The victory was that no one in our army was injured and we won a great victory. Don't worry, who can hurt me? I must be intact. If you are worried, check it out in the evening."

Yuan Nan'er chuckled: "Okay, it's good to win the battle, it's good to have no trouble, it's good to be back. You have to go into the palace to find the emperor. It's getting late, so go quickly. If he makes things difficult for you, you have to talk to him well and don't be anxious."

Jiang Lie handed Jiang Nianheng to Yuan Nan'er, stood up and tidied his collar: "Of course I know, I must protect myself, don't worry. I'm leaving!"

After leaving the gossip, Jiang Lie entered the palace and asked the guards, he learned that Yuan Guocai was in Zhiyuan Hall, so he rushed straight to Zhiyuan Hall.

In Zhiyuan Palace, Yuan Guocai was reviewing the memorial, and Yang Nengyan and two palace maids stood beside him.

"I am Jiang Lie, please see Your Majesty. Long live my emperor!" Jiang Lie walked to Yuan Guocai's table a few steps and bowed respectfully.

"Your dear, please don't give me a gift." Yuan Guocai put down the memorial in his hand and smiled, "Commander Xu has sent someone to send me a war report. I am very pleased. Although you led your army to fight without asking for instructions, you won the battle, surrendered the tiger spirits that have caused trouble, and saved the people of Jinshan County. It is worthy of commendation! I decided to give all the soldiers you went to fight this time, and give you the title to hereditary marquis. From now on, you will be Marquis Yongyi, and your family Nianheng is also a little marquis."

Jiang Lie respectfully said: "Thank you Lord, Longyou!"

Yuan Guocai smiled and said, "When Jinshan County has an urgent situation, you did not stick to the rules, but instead sent troops decisively. Although it is not worthy of encouragement and promotion, it is really worthy of praise! My God Lion Kingdom needs a handsome talent like you. If you have a general like Jiang Lie, why worry that my God Lion cannot dominate the world?"

Jiang Lie thought, "Unify the world? It turns out that you are not satisfied with being the emperor of one country. You are planning to be the emperor of four countries? Unify the world and let you be the great lord of the bone-eroding continent? You little bastard thinks quite beautifully!"

This is not the time to discuss whether to unify the world. Jiang Lie believes that the most urgent task is to deal with corrupt officials who deduct wages.

"Your Majesty, the group of tiger spirits that I surrendered. Their head is Hou Weilan. Although they are tiger spirits, they are originally like ordinary people, and they live in harmony with us humans. They were originally a mate who built river embankments, but the officials in charge did not pay money, and they only paid for their own money. They would crush people to death when they were high. Officials protected each other and forced them to exert their beastly nature. Only then did they occupy the mountain and become kings and cause trouble in the world." Jiang Lie said seriously, "So, I requested that the corrupt officials who committed the crime be arrested and brought to justice!"

Yuan Guocai slapped the table and said, "There is such a thing? Being an official is really awesome! Letting them be an official is to do practical things for the people of the world, to make them devote themselves to the country and the country of our God-Liu Kingdom! Some people only care about their own spending and not paying wages to the workers who built river embankments! Where is the river embankment and where is the dog official?"

Hou Weilan told Jiang Lie that the river they built before was called Linmuka River, not far from Jinshan County. The reason why the name of this river is so strange is that its name is transliterated from the local ancient dialect. In literal translation, it is a river as good as a mother, which is equivalent to the mother river.

So Jiang Lie responded decisively: "It's the embankment of the Linmuka River."

"Linmuka River?" Yuan Guocai clenched his fists and said indignantly, "Linmuka River is the mother river there. Last time, the flood broke the embankment. The court allocated huge funds to provide disaster relief to the purpose of making the embankment ready as soon as possible. The money for the relief of the Linmuka River has never stopped these days, and has been allocated continuously. How could it be that there was no money to pay workers? It was a rebellion! Jiang Lie!"

"I am here!" Jiang Lie said with all his attention.

Yuan Guocai walked up to Jiang Lie and said solemnly: "I have appointed you as the Minister of Inspectorship. I will set off to Linmuka River tomorrow morning. I must arrest all the lawless corrupt officials and bring them to the case, and bring them to the Divine Lion City! I will give you the right to kill first and then report the Pingxue Sword. If necessary, you can make a warning to others! You can take many people there and make your own decisions. Remember, as the Minister of Inspectorship, you represent me. Everyone who sees you as me, and if you rebel against you, it is a crime of deceiving the king!"

"I received the order!" Jiang Lie decisively and "guaranteed to complete the task!"

"Your Majesty, corrupt officials certainly need to be rectified, but it is definitely not enough to just deal with those corrupt officials. Their original official positions will be vacant, so the court needs to send new officials to take over." Yang Nengyan said in a whisper.

Yuan Guocai nodded: "The General Manager Yang's words are reasonable. You can go to the Ministry of Personnel and pick a few people, so that they can wait at the gate of Jiang Mansion tomorrow morning and go with General Jiang."

"I obey the order!" Yang Nengyan said a tribute and left.

"If Your Majesty has no other orders, I will sue you." Jiang Lie said respectfully.

Yuan Guocai nodded and said, "Go home and have a good rest. You should be tired enough these days. By the way, take this gold medal arrow, this is a symbol of your identity." Then he handed a shiny gold medal arrow to Jiang Lie.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Don't be too tired. You should also take a rest. I'm leaving!" Jiang Lie took the gold medal arrow with both hands, and then turned around and left. Walking on the road, his thoughts were extremely complicated.

Yuan Guocai's remarks just now seemed to be from the heart, not pretentious. Jiang Lie could see that Yuan Guocai was a corrupt official who really hated corruption and owed wages, and he could also see that he really wanted to rectify the administration, some were thinking about the river embankment and some were thinking about the people.
