The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

Chapter 728 The High Priest's Secret Visit

Hailasuna knew that she and Xiao Reba were now considered slaves of a conquered nation by the people of the Central Plains, and that the other side had no reason to treat them with such courtesy.

However, Helasu Nazha is not a naive girl; she has seen all sorts of situations, so she didn't expose it.

They simply turned to look at Jia Daoshi, because now they were all Jia Daoshi's people, and their next move depended on Jia Daoshi's approval.

Jia Daoshi had no intention of making things difficult for the two beautiful barbarian women from the grasslands. He simply nodded and said, "You should follow the princess."

After Jia Daoshi spoke, Haila Sunazha and Xiao Reba dared to agree: "Yes!"

Then, the two followed Ji Bingyan into the city lord's mansion.

Jia Daoshi had not yet figured out how to deal with Haila Sunazha and Xiao Reba, so he planned to let the two stay at the city lord's mansion for the time being.

However, Jia Daoshi would also have someone keep an eye on the two women first.

It's clear that both Haila Sunazha and Xiao Reba have decent martial arts skills, and he doesn't want any trouble to arise in his harem.

After Ji Bingyan took the person away, Jia Daoshi went to his study.

……

at the same time.

At the city gate of Cliff City.

A figure wearing a straw hat and a long black robe appeared at the city gate.

The surrounding area was bustling with people, but it seemed that none of them noticed the person standing there, and they all ignored the figure.

This figure stood quietly in place, seemingly listening to the conversations of the passersby.

"I heard that after the imperial envoy arrived, the eldest prince will be going to his new fiefdom, which seems to be in the East China Sea."

"I'm quite reluctant to see the eldest prince leave. He's been here for so many years, and our lives have been so much better than before."

"It's nothing. From now on, this place will be under the jurisdiction of the Prince of Zhenbei and Jia Tisi. Life will only get better and better! Jia Tisi is a god! He just arrived and, together with the First Prince, defeated a 500,000-strong allied army of the Kushan Empire! That's 500,000!"

"Yes! They used to come here to rob us of our grain and women, but now it's our turn to rob them of their women!"

"Speaking of which, that Kushan queen is indeed beautiful, and Jatis is quite the womanizer!"

"That's only possible with Justin. Who among ordinary people would have such good fortune?"

"I say, what's wrong with all of you people? Your Lord Jia only captured their queen and princess to prevent them from rebelling! As for beauty, can they compare to our Princess Taiping and Prince Zhenbei?"

"I've also heard that Lord Jia plans to relocate the entire Wolf Tribe to Youzhou County. Is that true?"

"If you ask me, we should just kill all these people from the Kushan Empire! Why even bother bringing them here?"

"Are you stupid?! The people from the City Lord's Mansion said that Lord Jia wants to completely transform our Youzhou Prefecture, opening up mountains, digging roads, and carrying out large-scale construction. We need someone to do all this work!"

"Lord Jia is wise! These barbarians are very strong, so we should capture them and have them work!"

……

Listening to the discussions of the people around him, the high priest's eyes revealed a thoughtful expression.

"This Jia Daoshi is quite ambitious. Ji Wuxin is giving him so much power now; I wonder if he'll be able to clean up the mess later..."

Indeed, this figure is none other than the High Priest of the Great Jing, who has just arrived here.

The high priest walked at a leisurely pace.

He hadn't really taken Jia Daoshi seriously at first.

However, the discussions he overheard from the local residents still made him somewhat worried.

Another thing he didn't expect was that Grand Tutor Shen, who had been missing for ten years and had gone on an expedition to the North Sea, had also returned!

The return of Grand Tutor Shen will undoubtedly bring about a major change in the court's structure, which makes Jia Daoshi seem less important.

However, since they were already there, the high priest also wanted to see what kind of person Jia Daoshi really was.

After all, Jia Daoshi and Grand Tutor Shen have a special relationship now; the two can be considered to be on the same side.

In addition, the high priest heard a very interesting story from these people.

Among these common people, everyone was saying that Jia Daoshi was a god descended to earth, a reincarnation of a deity.

On the night of the great battle with the barbarian army, countless bolts of lightning and fire rained down from the sky, turning the 500,000-strong allied army into charred remains.

The high priest certainly didn't believe that Jia Daoshi could control the lightning and fire that had appeared before him.

While the common people may believe rumors easily, many things do not come from nowhere.

After standing at the city gate for a moment, the high priest turned and left the city.

He did not choose to go to the city lord's mansion, but instead chose to go to the military camp.

The garrison of the imperial army.

In two days, the imperial army that came to provide support will set off back to the capital.

He wanted to investigate the situation before the army returned to the capital.
