Seeing that Jiang Chen didn't express anything, Princess Magatama didn't force him too much. She also knew that Jiang Chen would take the easy way out.
I had suffered from this in front of him before.
"Jiang Chen, you completed the first-level mission relatively quickly this time. It only took about twenty days. Now, you are just two descendants of Long Tenghou. They just completed the first mission two days ago."
In other words, Jiang Chen was the third among this group of people to hand in the first task.
"Haha, if you get fat first, you won't be fat. If you get fat later, it will overwhelm you. It doesn't matter if you let them get the first one. If nothing happens, I'll leave first."
Jiang Chen didn't care about the issue of priority. If he hadn't spent a few days in seclusion at home to break through the Eight Meridians of True Qi and consolidate the foundation of martial arts, he could have come back three days ago.
These rankings actually have little impact on the overall situation.
After all, the final ranking is determined by competition.
Magatama saw Jiang Chen's nonchalant look, but she didn't say anything. She knew very well that under Jiang Chen's seemingly nonchalant appearance, he was actually more generous than anyone else on the inside.
Seeing Jiang Chen's left figure, Princess Magatama didn't know where she got the courage: "Jiang Chen, what we agreed before is still in effect!"
Jiang Chen paused for a moment, and couldn't help but laugh. He thought to himself: "This girl is really stubborn! If Ruo'er, that little girl, knew afterwards that her idiot aunt had already made a promise to her without asking for her opinion.
Give it to Jiang Chen. I wonder if that little girl will laugh or cry?"
The second task is more complicated than the first task, but it seems to be more interesting.
First-level mission: Recruit eight personal guards.
Mission requirements: Each personal guard must have a cultivation level of at least six meridians and above, and have the potential to rise.
Age requirement: There is no lower age limit, but the upper limit must not exceed twenty years old.
Identity requirements: Guards must be warriors from the Eastern Kingdom and must not have backgrounds from other countries.
Mission standards: When the mission expires, you will be tested and must pass the final force assessment.
This task actually made Jiang Chen feel quite novel.
At least, this is not a task that can be completed recklessly. Due to the special nature of this task, the person who performs the task is not restricted from revealing his or her identity.
In other words, for other tasks, identities cannot be disclosed, and family relationships and connections cannot be used.
However, this task has its own special characteristics. It is an open task, which requires that the identity must be disclosed and connections must be used. Otherwise, with the pride of a warrior, who would be willing to serve as a bodyguard for a shameless person?
"Chen'er, this task is not simple. Of course, if you want to attack the first-class princes, you must have such capable personal guards."
Every prince must have a group of dead soldiers around him who are willing to sacrifice their lives for him.
This group of dead soldiers is basically equivalent to the core layer around the princes in the future. With this as the core, they will continue to expand their power.
As for the age requirement, it should not be more than twenty years old. That is a matter of course. The potential of Six Meridians Qi if you are over twenty years old will not be very great.
The identity and background requirements are easier to understand. Identity verification is nothing more than ensuring that people around the princes will not infiltrate spies from other countries.
This mission is not just as simple as recruiting eight personal guards.
When the mission expires, these eight personal guards will all pass a strength test and undergo some necessary tests. If they fail to pass these tests, the mission will be considered a failure.
"Chen'er, our Jiang family has been operating in Jianghanhou Mansion for hundreds of years, and is still very prestigious in the local area. My father also has a good relationship with some local forces. They all support my father very much. Although your mother
She died early, and there are several good young children in her natal family. You can go back to Jiang Han to lead, and my father can help you find four or five places."
Indeed, as Jiang Feng said, his control over Jiang Han Territory is still very good. The Jiang family has ruled Jiang Han Territory for hundreds of years and has long since turned the place into a piece of iron.
Normally, Jiang Feng has a high prestige. No matter where there is a conflict between local forces, Jiang Hanhou must be asked to adjudicate.
Jiang Feng is upright, upright and selfless, and his handling results are often convincing.
Therefore, despite Jiang Feng being suppressed by Marquis Long Teng in the royal capital, in Jiang Han's leadership, he is definitely a local leader supported by everyone. He has a high prestige.
If the next Marquis Jiang Han wants to recruit personal guards, there will definitely be countless people in the local area who are willing to respond. After all, being close to Marquis Jiang Han means forming a relationship with a powerful force, which is equivalent to entering the core level of the Eastern Kingdom.
This is completely different from local power.
The princes of a country are extremely powerful. It is definitely beyond the imagination of local tyrants.
The completion time for each task is one month.
Jiang Chen saved ten days on his first mission, so this second mission would be equivalent to forty days. In terms of time, it seems to be plenty, but in fact it may not be.
"It seems that our father and son are going back to southern Xinjiang." Jiang Feng had been away from Jiang Han for a long time, and he felt a little homesick.
"Father, the situation in the Royal Capital is complicated, and a single move can affect the whole body. You'd better stay in the Royal Capital, and the child can just go back."
Jiang Feng was startled for a moment, then thought of something and said with a smile, "Chen'er, are you going back alone?"
"I'll go back alone." Jiang Chen nodded firmly.
"Okay, my father has always respected your wishes. Just go back alone and take this opportunity to test your control over the overall situation." Jiang Feng chuckled.
There is still a difference between the real Marquis Jiang Han and the young Marquis.
Marquis Jiang Han is very prestigious in the local area, but that does not mean that the young Marquis will be able to enjoy it. Especially his predecessor, Jiang Chen, has always been a playboy with a reputation for being uneducated and unskilled. However, he is not only well-known in the royal capital, but Jiang Han is also quite famous in the local area.
Therefore, for Jiang Chen, if his father does not come forward, it will be difficult to achieve success in Jiang Han and successfully recruit eight personal guards.
"Chen'er, I have decided to hold a private banquet tonight and invite some of my good friends to come to the banquet. Let them also publicize it on my behalf and recruit talents widely."
It is quite difficult for a leader Jiang Han to find eight rising stars with six meridians of energy at once.
It is actually not difficult to find just eight young people with such martial arts talents.
However, recruiting followers is not only a matter of strength and talent, but also many issues such as character, willingness, ability to do things, etc. must be considered.
Considering these factors together, it is not easy to find. It would be a good channel to ask some princes who have been friends with each other for generations to widely publicize it in their respective territories.
Jiang Chen didn't object. Anyway, we need channels now, and the more the better. As for what kind of people to recruit, whether they are reliable or not, Jiang Chen still has the final say.
That night, Marquis Jiang Han held a banquet and invited seven or eight close friends to the banquet.
It is common for princes to have close contact with each other and have congenial personalities.
Even if they knew that Marquis Long Teng and Marquis Jiang Han had a bad relationship, it would not affect their friendship.
After all, there are a lot of conflicts among the princes, and you, Lord Long Teng, may not be able to cover up the sky with one hand.
Besides, the situation in the Jiang family was so shrouded in mystery that many people couldn't understand it. Jiang Chen, who had always been a playboy, unexpectedly became a blockbuster and made many astonishing moves in succession.
Many people even doubt whether Jiang Hanhou and his son have long been ambitious and deliberately hide their strength in order not to attract attention. Their goal is to directly target the positions of the four major princes!
And this time Jiang Chen chose a first-grade mission, which also confirmed the speculations of all parties.
Therefore, when Jiang Hanhou summoned him, let alone any previous friendship. Even if there was no friendship, he would not openly offend Jiang Feng's face.
As soon as the banquet was over, the news that Jiang Chen wanted to recruit personal guards spread.
It has to be said that in the royal capital, the speed of news spreading is much faster than Jiang Chen imagined.
The chain reaction that followed was also extremely fast.
Early the next morning, a big shot came to Jiang Chen.
The first person to arrive was Qiao Baishi.
"Master, my disciple has two nephews from the clan in the secular world. They are twin brothers. They have been practicing in the family. Occasionally, I need some guidance. With the help of my elixir, I am now seventeen years old, and I have cultivated to the six meridians.
Zhenqi. Letting them stay there is nothing more than a waste of good years. Baishi heard that the master wanted to recruit personal guards, so..."
Jiang Chen understood clearly that Qiao Baishi was recommending candidates to him.
"Twin brothers? That's not bad. It's rare that you have such thoughts, Baishi. I will leave two places for your two nephews. You give them a letter and ask them to meet me at Jiang Hanling."
Qiao Baishi was overjoyed when he heard this and said he was a clan nephew. In fact, Qiao Baishi had an ambiguous relationship with that clan sister-in-law and did a lot of ridiculous things when he was young.
The relationship between these two nephews and Qiao Baishi is called uncle-nephew. In fact, Qiao Baishi treats them as sons.
He was determined to promote these two nephews, but they had no interest in the elixir business at all. They just wanted to practice martial arts well and join the prince's family in the future to make a difference.
Jiang Chen can still trust the people recommended by Qiao Baishi. At least they are loyal and reliable and there will definitely be problems.
After Qiao Baishi left, Princess Magatama came again. And she also came to recommend a quota to Jiang Chen.
"Jiang Chen, I recommend a person to you. He is the direct grandson of my first martial arts teacher. His family is in a poor state now, but he is a very loyal person."
