Chapter 357 Jiang Jian wants to change his allegiance!
When Jiang Jian heard Xiao Yunfei, he took the initiative to ask about Yan Qing.
Moreover, the way he looked at the other person.
It seems that he is still very interested in Yan Qing.
This made Jiang Jian start to think about it.
Seeing Jiang Jian's expression, which seemed to be hesitant, Xiao Yunfei pretended to suddenly remember something important.
"Jiang Jian, look at my memory. I forgot that you are now a member of the Imperial City Bureau and many things need to be kept secret!"
"Just pretend I didn't ask anything just now, so that no one will suspect me of deliberately prying into the secrets of your Imperial City Division!"
Seeing that Xiao Yunfei was about to leave, Jiang Jian hurriedly called out to him.
"My Lord, please stay!"
After saying that, he saw Xiao Yunfei slowing down, so he hurried forward at a trot.
"My Lord, you're exaggerating. This isn't a secret at all. When I reported it to the court, they dismissed it completely!"
Xiao Yunfei looked around and said, "Jiang Jian, you're not busy now, are you?"
Jiang Jian shook his head: "Not busy!"
Xiao Yunfei said, "That's perfect. I'm not busy right now. How about we find a quiet place and have a couple of drinks?"
When Jiang Jian heard Xiao Yunfei offer to buy him a drink, he immediately felt flattered.
He quickly responded, "Better to obey than to be respectful!"
When we walked to a street, we saw a few children chasing and playing.
Xiao Yunfei stopped to watch and said with envy, "Jiang Jian, you may not believe this, but your father and I were just like these children!"
"Back then, we were always together, always looking for ways to steal chickens from one family or tease dogs from another. We had a deep bond. Although we weren't blood brothers, we were better than brothers."
"Oh, I didn't expect that half of my life would pass by in a flash..."
I heard Xiao Yunfei suddenly mention his and his father’s childhood memories.
This made Jiang Jian feel very close to her, and his heart was moved.
In fact, he knew it very well in his heart.
The reason why Xiao Yunfei said this was not simply because he was sad about the passing of time.
Instead, he just wanted to take the opportunity to win me over.
In fact, Jiang Jian didn't mind this.
He was even complacent about the fact that he was worth being won over.
Moreover, he is not valued by His Majesty now, and is like a dog that has lost its home, depressed and frustrated.
Jiang Jian's mind turned, and he remembered that at the critical moment, he and his son turned against the Jiang family and stabbed the entire family in the back.
His father Jiang Chonghu died together with Jiang Kuanglong for the sake of the court.
He also spared no effort in searching for Jiang's accomplices, and his hands were stained with the blood of his clansmen.
But even though he had made such great contributions, he was still not valued by the court.
He was even transferred directly from the Longxiong Guard to work in the Imperial City Division.
Although relatively speaking, the official position and salary have increased a lot.
However, the actual weighting has shrunk significantly.
In Longxiong Guard, he could directly mobilize as many as two to three thousand men.
But when it came to the Imperial City Division, due to his sensitive identity, no one dared to get too close to him, and there were very few people who could be ordered around.
Otherwise, Bai Xue would not dare to do this, riding on his head so brazenly and showing off her power.
The more Jiang Jian thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. He even considered taking this opportunity to change his allegiance again.
If he were to join the Xiao family, it would not be difficult for him to make a name for himself according to his own abilities.
In addition, there is another important reason that is difficult to state clearly.
As far as he knew, Xiao Yunfei's daughter, Xiao Ziyan, had already reached the age of coming of age.
Moreover, they are not married yet.
If only he could win over Xiao Zi Yan and become Xiao Yunfei's son-in-law.
Wouldn't that be like jumping over the dragon gate and reaching the sky in one step?
Thinking of this, Jiang Jian felt inexplicably excited.
Although Jiang Jian tried his best to control his emotions, he was still seen by the old fox Xiao Yunfei.
Immediately, Xiao Yunfei took Jiang Jian to a very quiet villa.
After the maid served the wine and food, he personally poured a glass of wine for Jiang Jian.
Jiang Jian was flattered and quickly stood up to answer it.
"My Lord, this is unacceptable, unacceptable!"
Xiao Yunfei showed the kind smile of an elder and pretended to complain.
"Jiang Jian, this is your fault. Calling me Marquis is fine outside. But why are you so awkward back home?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jian couldn't help but feel secretly delighted and quickly changed his words.
"Uncle Xiao!"
Xiao Yunfei said with a smile: "That's right, you called me the wrong name just now, so drink a glass of wine as a penalty!"
Seeing that Xiao Yunfei thought so highly of him, Jiang Jian immediately became a little overwhelmed.
"Uncle Xiao, this cup is too little. I'll drink three cups as punishment!"
After saying that, he grabbed the wine glass in front of him, raised his neck and drank it all in one gulp.
Soon, all three glasses of wine were finished.
Seeing this, Xiao Yunfei acted like a qualified supporting actor and praised him for his huge capacity for eating.
After another brief greeting, the topic finally turned to business.
Jiang Jian had originally thought of taking this opportunity to change his allegiance.
I've had three more glasses of wine and I'm feeling pretty high.
So, he didn't hide anything.
He told Xiao Yunfei everything he had seen.
After listening to Jiang Jian's story, Xiao Yunfei's expression became slightly solemn.
"Jiang Jian, are you saying that you saw Yan Qing at Gratitude Temple?"
Jiang Jian nodded solemnly: "Well, although I didn't see his face, judging from his back, it's most likely him!"
Xiao Yunfei asked, "Have you tracked down Yan Qing's whereabouts?"
Jiang Jian shook his head.
"No, I led my men to Bai Xue's place. I wanted to report this to Qing Ying. But Bai Xue was dismissive and even mocked me..."
When talking about Bai Xue's sarcasm and ridicule towards him, Jiang Jian was filled with rage.
His face, which was already a little drunk, was now even redder.
Xiao Yunfei pondered for a moment and asked, "Jiang Jian, how much do you know about Yan Qing?"
Jiang Jian thought for a moment and said, "I don't know much about Yan Qing, but I do know that he likes Jiang Xiner. I heard that they've already been married under the auspices of King Zhao!"
"If I'm not mistaken, Yan Qing must have seen that King Zhao was dead and the situation was hopeless."
"He was also worried about the revenge that Prince Yingqi would take away his wife, so he took Jiang Xiner and took the opportunity to leave King Zhao. This time he came back, most likely to establish contact with the Queen Mother who was imprisoned in Gratitude Temple..."
After hearing Jiang Jian's somewhat stammering narration, Xiao Yunfei fell into deep thought.
It seems that Jiang Jian doesn't know that Yan Qing is actually Li Changsheng in disguise.
In this case, Li Changsheng reappeared as Yan Qing and appeared in Gratitude Temple where the Queen Mother was. This is worth investigating further!
Thinking of this, Xiao Yunfei suddenly thought of something very important.
His Majesty ordered Li Changsheng to secretly go to the surrounding areas of the capital to recruit soldiers, form the Tiance Guard, and train troops in the Funiu Mountains.
Could it be that His Majesty is unhappy with his father for deliberately using illness as an excuse to avoid fighting, and is preparing to make another big move?
