Chapter 897: Truly Fragrant

In fact, Jiang Xuan was not as bored as Hamid imagined.

At this moment, he was in the Post House, receiving the frantic probing of various bigwigs in Istanbul.

"Lord Jiang the Younger."

"Hahahaha, General Jiang the Younger!"

"Lord Jiang Xuan!"

Jiang Xuan, with his brothers, was truly between laughter and tears upon seeing this scene.

The reason was very simple.

These Sipahi generals, the new elites of Istanbul at this time, had watched with their own eyes that day as Jiang Xuan delivered Hamid into their hands. Following that, Jiang Xuan descended like a divine soldier, and a series of astonishing operations, embellished by those with ulterior motives, had spread far and wide.

Longyan Special Forces!

Longyan Dragon Army!

Dragon Army!

Remember the website.

And so.

After this battle ended, during the period these bigwigs lingered in Istanbul, they came to the Post House where Jiang Xuan was staying almost every single day.

The purpose was naturally very simple.

This name suddenly became famous among the Sipahi generals.

Just kidding, he used only one hundred men to bring Hamid out of the heavily besieged Istanbul; what kind of level was this?

If it wasn't the miraculous Dragon Army, what was it?

"Lord Jiang is so young, are you married? My daughter is sixteen, she is a peerless beauty..."

All kinds of people, all kinds of purposes; for a time, the Post House was bustling and sweltering.

Jiang Xuan could not afford to not give them face.

"Can you teach us the training methods of the Dragon Army? How much does it cost to buy these miraculous Weaponry and Equipment?"

"Does Lord Jiang's merchant fleet have many good goods from Longyan? Can you spare some for us?"

Additionally.

"Hahahaha, Boss, how about just taking a wife back with you?"

"Exactly!"

"There are really quite a few beauties here, with exotic flair!"

Having said that, one does not hit a smiling face. They were all well-intentioned, coming over to build connections, so he could only helplessly deal with them one by one.

Today was the eighth group of people he had finally managed to send away.

Watching these people forcibly leave behind box after box of gifts, he let out a deep sigh.

Jiang Xuan shook his head helplessly.

Jiang Xuan at this time was no longer that reckless youth from before; having experienced several years of tempering and growth, he had become much more steady. Although his personality was still slightly extreme at times, at the very least, as a commander of a branch of the army, he had the maturity he ought to have.

What a place for tempering people.

A group of his underlings could no longer hold back and began to tease Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Xuan kicked out with a bitter smile: "Get lost! If you want to marry, you marry, I'll be your matchmaker! As for these 'foreign mares,' your boss here doesn't like them! I'm telling you, in this life, it's impossible for me to marry a 'foreign mare' back home!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Jiang Xuan chuckled.

And so, he thought of Sister Yue Ru again; he wondered how she was doing in Liangzhou, and if she was still that busy.

Just at this moment.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xuan smiled slightly, his heart filled with gratitude toward the young master, Liu Zheng.

The term "young master" was, of course, not the "young master" everyone else understood; the "young" was one part, and the "master" was another. In all of Longyan, this was a form of address exclusive to Jiang Xuan. It also highlighted the extraordinary relationship between him and Liu Zheng.

"Young master."

Jiang Xuan chuckled, just about to speak.

However, the moment he looked up and saw Alisha, his whole body suddenly jolted.

From this moment on, his eyes could no longer move away from Alisha.

Hamid and Alisha had come knocking.

Upon receiving the report, Jiang Xuan thought to himself that this guy had finally come, and he could finish his work here early and return to Longyan to report on his duties.

Hamid walked in with his sister and attendants, his face full of apology: "Lord Jiang, Hamid is late, I am late, please forgive me."

Alisha's large, blinking eyes also curiously watched this young and handsome Longyan general, Jiang Xuan, and she followed by giggling foolishly.

Hamid was completely bewildered.

What was this situation?

This...

What was he saying just now?

Was talking about "foreign mares" and such a bit detrimental to national diplomacy?

What happened to not liking "foreign mares"?

Do you find it "truly fragrant" now?

"Ah, ah, come in, come in, come in and talk!"

Jiang Xuan's group of underlings on the side were also blinking their eyes.

Boss!

Can you not be like this!

The group of lackeys nearby could not help but cover their mouths and giggle.

Once the tea was brewed, Jiang Xuan gave a dry cough, but he no longer dared to look at Alisha brazenly, because if he did, the two of them would end up making eye contact!

"Hahaha, I have truly been quite busy today and haven't been able to come over until now; please do not take offense, Lord Jiang!"

Jiang Xuan gave a start, laughed it off, and welcomed the two of them inside.

Hamid glanced at Jiang Xuan, then at his sister, his expression quite meaningful. Indeed, these Western women were somewhat bold and had no idea what shyness was. Ever since Alisha saw Jiang Xuan, that bold gaze of hers had been wandering and sizing him up.

Jiang Xuan felt quite comfortable under that gaze and hurriedly brewed the tea himself.

Before Hamid could speak, Alisha looked stunned: "You are going back to Longyan so soon?"

I.

This.

Hamid said again.

Jiang Xuan smiled: "Istanbul has indeed been very lively these days. However, the Young Master has given orders that I must wait until the Sultan comes to find me once before I can return to Longyan; the Sultan should feel free to handle state affairs."

"Ah!"

The "finding" he spoke of was not a simple visit to express gratitude, but to resolve the confusion currently in his heart.

Jiang Xuan chuckled and nodded: "The Young Master said that the Sultan is too close to the situation and would have hesitations regarding a constitutional monarchy."

Hamid looked embarrassed: "Lord Jiang, it is truly because this matter involves too much..."

Alisha's bold question made both of them very awkward. Hamid glared at his sister and laughed it off: "My little sister speaks without thinking; I hope Lord Jiang will be magnanimous."

Jiang Xuan hurriedly smiled: "No matter, no matter."

Hamid looked puzzled: "The idol—no, Vice Minister Liu seemed to know long ago that I would come to find you, is that right?"

Hamid finally could not hold back and asked his first question.

What is a Gentry?

Jiang Xuan seemed to have known all along that he would definitely be interested in this.

A constitutional monarchy is not something that can be achieved with a single sentence.

Great Britain, as the first country to have a constitutional monarchy, went through the Glorious Revolution; although the Glorious Revolution did not involve any bloodshed, it was still a battle of wits and hidden daggers. Besides, Hamid was currently the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, a true monarch—how could he revolutionize against himself?

Jiang Xuan smiled faintly: "Sultan, if you have any doubts, you may ask me, and Jiang Xuan will answer them for you one by one."

"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife."

What is a Gentry?

It is written very thoroughly in a book.

The so-called Gentry also developed slowly in Britain before the Glorious Revolution, and after the Glorious Revolution, they began to replace the Knight and became the protagonists on the British political stage.

This classic opening line is how the Gentry are described in Pride and Prejudice.

This question is very deep and directly involves the reform of the Knight system.
