Chapter 174 Seizing Military Power
"Jun Yao, did you notice?" Jiang Yanwan asked softly, obviously also catching sight of the strange figure.
"Well, I feel like something is not right in this palace." Wu Junyao responded in a low voice.
"Maybe we can investigate first to see if there is anything suspicious." Jiang Yanwan suggested.
"Okay, then let's divide the work. You go and gather information, and I'll go meet some old friends to see if I can find any clues." After Wu Junyao finished speaking, he and Jiang Yanwan separated.
Outside the palace, some guards were patrolling. A young guard whispered, "Have you heard? The legendary General Wu is back!"
"Of course I've heard of him. He's a great hero! I hope he can solve the trouble in the capital this time."
"However, the last time I heard someone in the palace say that some people don't want him to come back."
"Really? That's complicated."
Wu Junyao heard this in the corner and was full of curiosity. He quietly came to a hidden corner and observed the surroundings through the window. Suddenly, he found a familiar figure on the other side. It was his old friend Cheng Haoran.
"Jun Yao, you are finally here." Cheng Haoran turned around with a look of joy on his face.
"Haoran, what exactly happened in the capital?" Wu Junyao went straight to the point.
"Although the rebel army is small, someone seems to be deliberately fanning the flames. There are several restless forces in the palace. As a member of the Wu family, I'm afraid I will become the target of public criticism." Cheng Haoran frowned.
"It seems that things are indeed much more complicated." Wu Junyao pondered, "Do you have a reliable source of information?"
"I will continue to keep an eye on it over the next few days, but be careful. Once you take action, it may alert a lot of people."
At the same time, Jiang Yanwan was strolling in the palace garden and accidentally met a palace maid, and they began to chat.
"Sister, has anything special happened in the palace recently?" Jiang Yanwan asked with pretended curiosity.
"Ah, these days everyone is talking about how terrible the rebels are, but in fact the palace is even more restless." The maid lowered her voice, "And many people's attitudes towards the Wu family have become very subtle."
"Oh? Why is this happening?" Jiang Yanwan asked tentatively.
"I don't know the details, but I heard that there were differences of opinion among the senior officials, and someone wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to shake the Wu family's position."
Jiang Yanwan's heart trembled, and she realized that things were not simple.
Late at night, Wu Junyao and Jiang Yanwan met again and shared the information they had learned.
"It seems that we not only have to deal with the rebels, but also face the undercurrents in the palace." Jiang Yanwan analyzed.
"Yes, but no matter what, the rebellion must be quelled first, otherwise there will be bigger troubles later." Wu Junyao said resolutely.
At this moment, a messenger came hurriedly, looking nervous: "General Wu, the emperor summons you to the palace immediately."
Wu Junyao and Jiang Yanwan looked at each other and nodded at the same time, having made arrangements in their minds.
Walking into the hall, the emperor looked tired, and several court officials stood beside him. When the emperor saw Wu Junyao coming, he said straight to the point: "Junyao, I hope you can go to the battle as soon as possible and quell the rebellion."
"I obey your command." Wu Junyao replied respectfully.
At the bottom of the hall, an old minister said slowly, "Your Majesty, rumors are circulating that the Wu family is planning a rebellion, so it's best to keep a close eye on them."
"Nonsense! Don't you know how loyal the Wu family is?" The emperor's face darkened.
"I am just reminding you, just in case." The old minister bowed slightly, but his eyes swept towards Wu Junyao, as if there was something else behind it.
Wu Junyao knew clearly that he had to be cautious in every step. He turned around and secretly winked at Jiang Yanwan who was standing at the door, signaling her to continue according to the plan.
As the two men left the hall, they happened to meet a young man in gorgeous clothes, who stared at Wu Junyao with interest.
"This must be General Wu, who is famous in the border areas, right?" the young master said with a smile.
"That's right. May I know who you are, young master?" Wu Junyao asked with a bow.
"I am just an idle person named Lu Wenjin. I have long heard of the general's name, so I came here to make your acquaintance." Lu Wenjin's attitude was friendly, but it made Wu Junyao feel alert.
"Mr. Lu, you are too polite." Wu Junyao spoke briefly and kept an appropriate distance.
"I heard that the general's trip is to quell the rebellion, which is really admirable. However, the situation in the palace is unpredictable, and I hope the general will be more careful." Lu Wenjin said meaningfully, then turned and left.
Jiang Yanwan walked up to Wu Junyao and said, "This person is not simple."
"Indeed, it seems that we have more enemies than we thought. We must grasp every detail." Wu Junyao thought thoughtfully.
This time, the situation inside and outside the palace was confusing, and Wu Junyao knew that he was about to face a protracted battle. He and Jiang Yanwan walked slowly along the path with a clear goal in mind.
"Jun Yao, are you ready?" Jiang Yanwan asked softly.
"Of course, we can't hesitate any longer." Wu Junyao answered firmly.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps in the distance, as if something urgent had happened again.
"General Wu! Something terrible has happened!" A soldier came running over in a hurry, looking nervous and breathing heavily.
"What's going on?" Wu Junyao's expression froze.
The soldier turned pale and stammered, "The rebels have broken through the east side of the city, and our people... are already in a tough fight!"
Wu Junyao turned around quickly: "Yan Wan, we have to act quickly."
Jiang Yanwan nodded: "I will go to mobilize support, you go to stabilize the front line first."
The two went their separate ways, Wu Junyao ran all the way to the east of the city, while Jiang Yanwan went straight to the garrison camp.
On the way, the discussions of passers-by kept pouring into Wu Junyao's ears.
"Have you heard? The rebels actually broke through!"
"Then can General Wu arrive in time?"
"I hope so. He is our last hope."
Wu Junyao felt heavy in his heart and quickened his pace. At this time, the east of the city was in chaos, and the soldiers fought desperately, but it was difficult to stabilize their position.
"The general is coming! Hold on!" an old soldier shouted excitedly.
Wu Junyao ordered loudly: "Deploy defenses and counterattack according to the predetermined plan!"
The soldiers were inspired by the words and began to follow the orders in an orderly manner.
In the melee, a young soldier brandished his sword and shouted: "The general is indeed worthy of his reputation. Now we are saved!"
"Yeah, I'm not afraid when he's around!"
The situation gradually turned around and the rebels were temporarily put on the defensive.
At the same time, Jiang Yanwan also took action in the garrison camp and summoned troops from all directions.
"Hurry up and go to support the east of the city. We can't let the general fight alone!" Jiang Yanwan commanded with confidence, and all the teams responded.
A young maid walking beside her couldn't help but sigh: "Young lady is really amazing, she mobilized so many people so quickly."
"However, I don't know how the general is doing." Another maid said worriedly.
"Don't worry, Jun Yao will be fine. We will continue to make logistical preparations." Jiang Yanwan smiled slightly, full of confidence.
As the night deepened, Wu Junyao finally led his troops to successfully repel the enemy and temporarily stabilized the situation.
"General, we won!" A deputy general ran over excitedly to report.
"This is only temporary, the enemy will not give up." Wu Junyao said calmly, looking around, secretly thinking about the next plan.
At this moment, Jiang Yanwan arrived with reinforcements. Seeing that Wu Junyao was safe and sound, she felt relieved.
"Jun Yao, what should we do next?" Jiang Yanwan asked.
"We need to take this opportunity to find out the true identity of the mastermind behind this." Wu Junyao responded firmly, "Yan Wan, I need you to go to the palace to find out more information."
Jiang Yanwan nodded slightly: "I will be careful."
The two smiled at each other and trusted each other in their hearts.
However, just as they were about to split up, a messenger arrived in a hurry, his face full of anxiety.
"General, news has come out from the palace that someone intends to seize power during the chaos!" the messenger reported in a low voice.
