Chapter 539 I want you to serve me!

In a high-rise building

Ye Chen stared at Murong Yan and spoke word by word.

"Yan'er, I wish to take you with me to the areas surrounding Chang'an. I want you to establish a deep intelligence network there. I will then use this network to summon local students for examinations and educate the people in the villages and towns, thereby training low-level officials."

Hearing this, Murong Yan frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then nodded.

"Your Majesty, this is a very good move. However, those powerful families have been around Chang'an for hundreds of years. Training low-level officials is not easy and requires a lot of preparation."

"I know, so I need you and your men to protect those scholars while they educate the people."

We must use both civil and military means.

Ye Chen would not just reason with the landlords and wealthy families.

Hearing this, Murong Yan smiled sweetly.

"Your Majesty, rest assured. I will do my utmost to assist you."

At this moment, a warrior under Murong Yan suddenly came to the attic in a hurry.

Yu Niang's face changed. After exchanging a few words with the warrior, she hurried into the attic. However, she glanced at Ye Chen first, then quickly walked to Murong Yan and whispered in a low voice, "Boss, there's bad news from Dong Qiang..."

Hearing this, Murong Yan's expression suddenly became serious. She looked at Ye Chen and said, "Your Majesty, the latest intelligence is that the Tatars are about to attack Dongqiang."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen frowned, and a sharp look flashed in his eyes: "Yan'er, is this news true?"

"Your Majesty, the information comes from a reliable source. Lord Zhou was almost back, but now, due to the Tatar army's unusual movements, he doesn't dare to wander off."

Hearing this, Ye Chen lowered his head and began to think.

"It seems this Tatar is still trying to stir up trouble. I originally wanted to start with domestic affairs, but this Tatar always distracts me from my work. This is really a hassle."

"Your Majesty, we must make plans early. If Dongqiang is conquered by the Tatars, it will be extremely disadvantageous to us."

"After all, the source of wheat is the Dongqiang tribe!"

Murong Yan said.

Hearing this, Ye Chen nodded, frowned slightly, and a trace of solemnity flashed in his deep eyes.

He then stood with his hands behind his back, and the imperial aura that emanated from him unconsciously made the air around him seem heavier.

He looked at Murong Yan, his tone calm and serious: "Murong Yan, the Tatars' actions cannot be underestimated. I need to immediately mobilize your intelligence network and keep a close eye on the situation in the Eastern Qiang."

"Not only is the Qiang the main source of wheat now, but I'm also worried that the Tatars will take this opportunity to invade Dayu from the northwest border."

Hearing this, a trace of worry flashed in Murong Yan's beautiful eyes.

"Your Majesty is right. If the Tatars break through the Eastern Qiang, the northwest border will likely be their next target."

Ye Chen stopped and his eyes became deep again.

"The commander of the northwest border still obeys my orders. Can we try to assist the Eastern Qiang in their battle? However, the current situation is unclear, so we must not act rashly. We must wait until we obtain more detailed intelligence before making any decisions."

Ye Chen pondered for a moment, then looked at Murong Yan again: "Yan'er, no matter what abnormalities occur in the Dongqiang tribe, you must report them to me."

"promise."

"Also, from now on you can no longer travel with my caravan as a merchant. You must accompany me. This time, you will accompany me as a palace maid."

Upon hearing this, Murong Yan was slightly stunned, then bowed.

"The people's daughter follows the decree."

Ye Chen's tone softened.

"I know this move is a bit sudden, but the situation forces me to do it."

Murong Yan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to explain. I understand the pros and cons of this."

Ye Chen immediately stood up and prepared to leave, but then he seemed to remember something and said to Murong Yan, "I have asked Shen Qiu to prepare a carriage for you. You are of a special status, and I cannot treat you unfairly."

Hearing this, Murong Yan felt warm in her heart: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."

Wait for Ye Chen to walk out of the attic and call Shen Qiu.

Shen Qiu was dressed in tight clothes, with an upright posture, a temperament as cold as frost and snow, and an unparalleled elegance.

When she saw Ye Chen, she immediately clasped her fists and said, "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"

"Qiu'er, go find someone to prepare a comfortable carriage for Yan'er. Make sure it's well decorated. Also, find some clever eunuchs and palace maids to serve Yan'er."

"promise."

Shen Qiu took the order and left.

By the time Ye Chen got on the carriage.

Shen Qiu also returned to report: "Your Majesty, the carriage is ready, and the eunuchs and palace maids are already at Miss Murong Yan's place, waiting for your orders."

"Well, back to camp."

"promise."

Ye Chen sat in the carriage and drove towards the campsite.

After returning to the campsite, Ye Chen walked straight to his tent.

As soon as he entered the tent, he let go of the tension he had felt outside and leaned lazily on the chair.

At this time, the curtain of the tent was gently lifted, and a beautiful figure walked in.

It’s Zhen Jiaoxue.

She was holding a bowl of chicken soup and walked towards Ye Chen gracefully. She was wearing a gorgeous long dress with the hem dragging on the ground. It swayed gently with her steps, and there seemed to be light flickering between the hems.

Her skin was whiter than snow, and glowed softly in the candlelight. Her eyebrows were as dark as distant ink, and her eyes were as bright as stars. Her delicate facial features were only slightly inferior to Su Mengjiao's, but she was already absolutely beautiful.

She parted her red lips.

"Your Majesty, I have prepared some chicken soup for you. You have been tired all day, so drink some to replenish your body."

Ye Chen raised his eyes to look at her, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "You are thoughtful, hey."

There was an irresistible majesty in Ye Chen's tone.

Zhen Jiaoxue then knelt slightly in greeting, then walked to Ye Chen's side, placed the chicken soup on the table, stirred it gently, scooped up a spoonful, and handed it to Ye Chen's mouth: "Your Majesty."

Ye Chen drank the chicken soup with her hand, but his eyes always stayed on her face. His eyes were like flames, making Zhen Jiaoxue's cheeks slightly red.

Suddenly, Ye Chen took Zhen Jiaoxue's hand and pulled her into his arms, with a smile on his face: "Xue'er, I will serve you tonight."

Zhen Jiaoxue grumbled softly, her eyes filled with tenderness: "Your Majesty, I will undress you."

Ye Chen let Zhen Jiaoxue undress him.

Since his trip was a tour rather than a sightseeing trip, it was inconvenient for him to bring his concubines with him, but there were no such restrictions for the palace maids.

So, he picked up Zhen Jiaoxue and walked towards the bed. Zhen Jiaoxue screamed, but did not resist at all. Instead, there was a hint of expectation in her eyes.

When he put Zhen Jiaoxue on the bed and was about to lean over, their skin touched and the atmosphere was extremely ambiguous.

Cheng'en's shrill voice suddenly came from outside the tent.

"Your Majesty, Commander Shen has something important to discuss with you. He said the Queen Mother is here."

Ye Chen frowned, a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes, but he could only stop.

A trace of disappointment flashed across Zhen Jiaoxue's eyes. Ye Chen gently patted her hand and said, "After I see the Queen Mother, I'll let you serve me."

"Slave, slave obeys the order."

Zhen Jiaoxue's face flushed with shame, but she was extremely happy in her heart.
