The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

Chapter 70 Silent Love

Seeing a stack of banknotes on a piece of soft armor, Jiang Fan's eyes were slightly wet. Emperor Yan returned all the two million taels of silver that Jiang Fan had given him.

The old father was probably afraid that Jiang Fan would lose, so he gave him enough silver and money. With this silver, at least the price of grain could be reduced.

Jiang Fan had never thought before that being able to earn three million taels of silver with more than ten thousand taels of silver, or even hundreds of thousands of taels, was already very good.

Therefore, when he took out two million taels of silver, he just wanted to curry favor with Emperor Yan and improve the relationship between father and son.

He didn't expect that the deep father-son relationship between him and Emperor Yan would make Emperor Yan love him so much. Although two million taels is not a lot, it is definitely not a small amount.

This amount of silver is almost enough to cover the annual tax revenue of an entire prefecture.

Even the poorest prefectures did not collect that much tax in a year. The poorer provinces might only collect 2 million taels of tax silver a year.

Jiang Fan suddenly felt the weight of the banknote. Under the banknote, there was a letter with only one line of words.

"The soft armor is made of gold thread. It is impervious to water and fire and can protect against swords and weapons. My son, be careful on this trip. I am waiting for your good news in Beijing."

Looking at the letter and the soft armor in the package, Jiang Fan's eyes turned slightly red.

In his previous life, his old father also silently sacrificed for him. Although he was born into a royal family in this life, his adoptive father seemed to be quite nice to him.

Although Emperor Yan had no control over many things, he still protected him to the greatest extent possible.

After all, Jiang Fan was born into a royal family. Even if Emperor Yan wanted to pass the throne to Jiang Fan, if he didn't have the ability to keep it, it would endanger his life instead.

Emperor Yan couldn't protect Jiang Fan for his whole life, so the reason why he agreed to let Jiang Fan accept the bet was to train Jiang Fan and give him enough power to protect himself.

After putting away the banknotes, Jiang Fan put on the soft armor.

After this period of training, although his physical fitness has improved, Jiang Fan knows that his fighting power is still too poor. With soft armor on his body, he will at least be safer.

The team continued to move forward, but Jiang Fan was not at peace at this time. He was afraid that it would not be so easy for the several princes to let him reach Huainan Prefecture.

At present, we are still very close to Beijing, so they will not take action. But when we reach Huainan Prefecture, it is hard to say.

Because Chu Yan'er was also going to Huainan Prefecture, the two teams traveled together. They only parted ways after reaching the territory of Huainan Prefecture.

Jiang Fan thought about it and asked Chu Chengrui to send a letter to Chu Yan'er.

During the rest of the time, he drew various blueprints and wrote various materials in the carriage, all of which would be useful after he arrived in Huainan.

Although he had prepared part of it, he still had not prepared most of it.

In his previous life, he was devoted to studying various things and had done many jobs. Therefore, he had a wide range of knowledge and had many things in his mind.

After the letter was delivered, Chu Chengrui came back to report to Jiang Fan. Chu Yan'er brought back a message, she knew!

Jiang Fan smiled and did not ask any more questions. Chu Yan'er was an extraordinary woman. As long as he talked to her, she would know what to do.

………………

On the other side, in the prince's mansion of Jiang Yi, in front of Jiang Yi were Ye Ren and Huang Zhenren. At this time, Jiang Yi's face was gloomy, and his eyes were filled with jealousy and hatred.

"Grandpa, how are the arrangements in Huainan going?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Ren looked at Jiang Yi and nodded slightly, with a hint of confidence on his lips.

"I have already arranged it. This time, I am afraid that guy won't even be able to reach Huaining County. Even if he has the Chu brothers to protect him, he will die."

"That's good... I won't feel at ease if he is not eliminated... After he dies, I'll see how my father will still care about him!" Jiang Yi's eyes were cold, with a hint of viciousness flashing in them.

"Don't worry, Crown Prince. Not only have we arranged people, but the others have as well. He won't be able to escape this time!" Huang Zhenren also spoke quickly.

The three of them were discussing taking action against Jiang Fan, and the other princes' palaces were also plotting the same thing.

Jiang Fan's trip to Huainan was the best opportunity Ye Ren had secured for them to get rid of Jiang Fan. How could they miss it?

………………

After two days of travel, the two teams finally arrived at the territory of Huainan Prefecture.

Chu Yan'er did not say hello to Jiang Fan, but led her team to Huai'an County where she belonged. The county where Jiang Fan belonged was called Huaining County.

The two places were only a hundred miles apart, both located in the mountains, so Jiang Fan was not in a hurry for the team to hurry on.

There is a canyon on the road leading to Huaining County ahead. Once you enter it, you will most likely be surrounded by people.

He ordered the troops to rest on the spot, and the troop of more than 1,000 people set up camp on the spot. Jiang Fan personally ordered and supervised the construction of the tents in the camp.

It was afternoon now, and it would be dark in about an hour and a half. However, if they hurried, they could reach Huaining County in less than an hour.

Dai Yunzong came to Jiang Fan's tent with some confusion, and came with him was Yang Yexu, the captain selected by the White Robe Army.

Although the two armies were merged into one, Jiang Fan still selected two captains to lead them. The black robe army was led by Dai Yunzong, and the white robe army was led by Yang Yexu.

The two met at the door of the tent, looked at each other, nodded, and politely gave way.

"Old Dai first!" "Old Yang first..."

The two men spoke at the same time, were stunned at the words, looked at each other, smiled heartily, and walked into the tent together.

Jiang Fan saw the two people coming in and nodded. Chu Chengxiong and Chu Chengrui nodded to them. The two brothers are now protecting Jiang Fan closely.

Therefore, most of the time, it was the two door gods beside Jiang Fan.

Dai Yunzong glanced at Yang Yexu, and seeing that he was being modest, he looked at Jiang Fan in confusion and said:

"Your Highness, why did we stop? Now, it's only less than an hour away from here to Huaining County. If we hurry, we can reach Huaining County before dark!"

The matter of the bet is urgent. Every day of delay will be disadvantageous to Jiang Fan.

Unlike Jiang Fan, the two had not studied the surrounding terrain, so they did not know about the Tiger Gorge ahead.

Although Yang Yexu did not say anything, the meaning in his eyes was very clear.

Jiang Fan looked at the two of them, smiled and said, "Do you think we can reach Huaining County smoothly? There is a Tiger Gorge ahead, which is not easy to cross!"

Upon hearing this, the two looked at each other and instantly understood the meaning of Jiang Fan's words. Although they were of humble status, they also knew some royal affairs.

Jiang Fan mentioned that there was Menghu Gorge ahead, so the terrain of this place might be unfavorable to them.

"Your Highness, please tell me what you want. Old Dai and I will listen to you..." Excitement surged on Yang Yexu's face.
