Chapter 1 Jiang Chen's Plan

Jiang Chen roughly understood the other party's situation after listening.

He thought for a moment and asked, "What kind of weapons do you use to fight in your country now?"

"Of course, swords and sabers," Catherine said.

Jiang Chen breathed a slight sigh of relief. It seemed that foreign countries were not more advanced than Da Wei.

"What are your plans now?" Jiang Chen asked again.

Catherine was a little depressed. "I... I want to go home."

Jiang Chen shook his head. It was impossible for him to send Catherine back.

After thinking about it, Jiang Chen said, "You can't go back in the short term. If you're willing, you can come back with me. At least you won't go hungry."

"That's great!"

Catherine agreed readily. She never wanted to go hungry again.

As she spoke, she got up to leave with Jiang Chen.

After taking two steps, she suddenly thought of something. "Where's my package?"

Jiang Chen looked at Feng Jin. "Does she have a package?"

Feng Jin nodded. "Yes, it's too dirty, so it's in the guest room."

Jiang Chen said something, and Catherine quickly returned to the guest room to get her package.

Then, she opened the package and displayed the contents.

"You're a good person. I'll give you these things."

Jiang Chen looked at the contents of the package, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

There were no high-tech products inside, but there were quite a few crop seeds.

"What did you bring these here for?" Jiang Chen asked.

"I wanted to do business with you, but it seems I can't," Catherine said sadly.

"Okay, I'll accept these things. Come with me."

Then, Jiang Chen led Feng Jin and Catherine towards the palace.

As they got closer to the palace, Catherine's eyes widened, and she pointed at the palace in amazement, her mouth agape.

"What is that place? It's so magnificent!"

Although Feng Jin didn't understand, he guessed what Catherine was saying from her gestures and tone, and said proudly, "That's His Majesty's residence!"

"What did he say?" Catherine asked Jiang Chen.

"He said that the place you're pointing at is the residence of the Da Wei Emperor."

"The Da Wei King!? Living in such a big place?"

Catherine exclaimed, "I wish I could take a look."

"You can. We'll go in later," Jiang Chen said.

"What did you say?"

Catherine looked at Jiang Chen in surprise. "Is your King's residence open to anyone?"

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Not for others, but I can."

"Why?" Catherine asked doubtfully.

At this time, they had arrived at the palace gate. The guards on both sides saw Jiang Chen and Feng Jin and immediately knelt down.

"Welcome His Majesty back to the palace!"

Jiang Chen looked at the dumbfounded Catherine with a smile. "Because I am the King of Da Wei."

Back in the palace, Jiang Chen arranged Catherine's accommodation and then began to inquire about the contents of the package.

After asking, Jiang Chen suddenly had an idea.

This was an opportunity!

An opportunity to take down the Minister of Works, Wei Zhengli!

"Tomorrow, you will take this package and listen to my arrangements," Jiang Chen said.

In the Qianqing Palace Hall, Jiang Chen sat at the head.

After listening to the ministers' reports, Jiang Chen suddenly said, "Gentlemen, yesterday when I saw Grand Tutor Yuan off, I met a very strange person."

The ministers looked at Jiang Chen in confusion. There were strange people everywhere. There was no need to bring it up specifically, right?

"This person is not from Da Wei," Jiang Chen added.

The ministers' minds started racing. Not from Da Wei? Could it be the northern Xiongnu? Or the northwestern Quanrong? Or the southwestern Baipu? Or the southern Baiyue?

Thinking of this, the ministers couldn't help but be surprised, especially the minister in charge of the capital's security, who was so frightened that he fell to his knees with a thud.

"Your Majesty, I have failed in my duty! I am guilty!"

Jiang Chen waved his hand and said, "It's nothing to do with you."

The minister's heart returned to his stomach.

But more ministers became more puzzled.

What was the purpose of His Majesty's words?

At this time, Jiang Chen raised his hand, and Feng Jin turned around and brought Catherine into the hall.

As soon as they saw Catherine's appearance, many ministers' first reaction was the same as Feng Jin's: they exclaimed that there was a ghost.

After finally calming down, Jiang Chen glanced at the ministers and said, "Does anyone know where this person comes from?"

The ministers looked at each other and shook their heads.

These things had never been seen before.

Jiang Chen had expected this result. He turned his gaze to Wei Zhengli, the Minister of Works.

"Minister Wei, you are the Minister of Works, and you are quite knowledgeable about the customs, rare animals, and exotic plants of Da Wei."

"I remember that when you took office as the Minister of Works, you once said that there was nothing in the world that you hadn't seen. Do you recognize it?"

Wei Zhengli's face was embarrassed, and he said in a low voice, "I don't recognize it."

At the same time, Wei Zhengli's heart was full of anger.

How could he not hear that Jiang Chen deliberately pointed out what he had said when he took office in order to undermine his prestige!

It was true that he had said those words, but they were limited to the scope of Da Wei and the surrounding foreign tribes.

Who knew where this strange-looking woman came from?

"Vice Minister of Works, do you recognize it?"

Jiang Chen asked all the officials of the Ministry of Works in the hall.

As expected, none of them recognized it.
