As a salted fish, I was forced to become the teacher of all ages

Jiang Chao hurriedly said: "What are you talking about? Your uncle and I are inseparable. He has no future in this life. The only thing he can't let go of before he leaves is your nephew, so he has entrusted me to take care of you several times. If you come to Lanzhou But I turned a blind eye to the mansion, how could I have the face to meet him when I go to Jiuquan in the future?"

Seeing that Huang Zichao wanted to say something, Jiang Chao said again: "Now I am a housekeeper in Yiduan Prince's Mansion, and thanks to the lord's respect, speaking in the Palace has some weight, so what if I arrange for you to do shopping or help a cook? "

"This...isn't that good?" Huang Zichao made a gesture that seemed a little moved.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Chao glared at Huang Zichao: "Speaking of which, you belong to Chang Guowei, right? After all, you have also fought Japanese pirates and are familiar with military affairs. Even if I recommend you to train guards for the prince, it is very good! Don't you know that the White Lotus Sect in Lanzhou Mansion is extremely rampant, and the imperial court has to send more people to eradicate it, the safety of the palace is worrying!"

"Bai... White Lotus Sect?"

Having said that, Huang Zichao was a little dazed: Why does this reason sound familiar?

But soon he realized the meaning of Jiang Chao's words: King Yiduan already knew that Uncle Huai'an had brought people here.

Jiang Chao still felt that Huang Zichao didn't believe it, so he continued: "I think we will receive the news in a few days, the White Lotus Sect is crazy, and I don't know if the court can put it out, so I will recommend you to the prince for him some time." Would you like to train the guards of the palace?"

Huang Zichao pretended to hesitate for a while, then sighed, "That's it...thank you sir."

"Why are you being polite, let's go now?" Jiang Chao patted him on the shoulder happily, then looked at the young soldier who had been standing next to the two of them: "Speaking of which, I haven't asked yet, who is this little brother? "

When Jiang Chao and Huang Zichao were exchanging their acting skills, the foolish man beside him didn't even raise his eyelids, nor did he say a word—of course, it's very likely that he didn't understand what these two people were doing at all, and his brain couldn't keep up trip.

Seeing Jiang Chao asking about himself at this moment, that Hanhan made a move that surprised Huang Zichao: He handed Jiang Chao half a chicken leg, and then showed a smirk with dumbfounded eyes, and kept saying "Aba Aba"...

Huang Zichao said hastily: "This kid was picked up on the road. I thought he was pitiful and took him in. Sigh, he is also a poor man, but he has a kind heart..."

Jiang Chao was stunned for a moment, then asked after a huff, "You...you're going to take him with you from now on?"

Huang Zichao coughed dryly and said, "Take it, the others beside him can't do it, but they have a lot of strength, they can run errands or something..."

Now it was Jiang Chao's turn to twitch the corners of his mouth, he hesitated for a while before saying, "Then...then take it with you, and look back to see if there is any job suitable for him..."

Huang Zichao expressed gratitude: "Thank you sir."

In this way, Huang Zichao sneaked into the palace smoothly with a fool, and what...

It didn't take long for him to learn how easy it was to have a fool by his side sending information out.

After all, who cares what a fool does?

541. Opportunity

For the next two days, Jiang Chao and Huang Zichao spent both probing and counter-probing—both sides.

Jiang Chao was eager to know the situation of Huamanlou. After all, King Yiduan's big event was imminent, and even knowing a little more useful information would be of great benefit to King Yiduan; while Huang Zichao was eager to know what King Yiduan was thinking now. After all, this is related to the countermeasures that the court will prepare next.

But it is obvious that the relationship is shallow but not deep, so what the two sides inquired about each other was all nonsense that seemed useful but was useless, such as: Uncle Xishan is a serious and responsible person, Uncle Xishan loves soldiers like sons; Yiduan Wang is a good man, but King Yiduan is lonely in his heart...

To sum it up, this information is very similar to the blood type tests of the constellations in Huamanlou's previous life, no matter who it is applied to.

And during this period, the atmosphere in the palace and the atmosphere in Lanzhou began to gradually become tense.

After all, King Yiduan's preparations for the war cannot be suppressed. The two guards belonging to King Yiduan began to gather outside the Lanzhou mansion, and as more and more insiders in the city, the city gradually became more chilling.

Under such circumstances, Jiang Chao obviously became anxious, and the questions he asked became more and more deliberate: "In the Battle of Ningbo, it was said that Bo Xishan used a few thousand people to break up [-] Japanese pirates. Is this true? Fake?"

Huang Zichao said calmly, "Of course it's true. Uncle Xishan never lies about his achievements."

He had to say this, after all, in the southeast area, Huamanlou was almost a myth, and those who said otherwise were not soldiers of the navy at all.

Jiang Chao asked again: "Then... how did you fight?"

Before Huang Zichao could answer, Jiang Chao explained, "Oh, I was just asking casually. I used to hear people say that Japanese pirates were so vicious and difficult to deal with, but they disappeared as soon as Uncle Xishan took action, so I was curious. "

If he didn't explain, Huang Zichao might really think he was curious. After all, the current atmosphere seemed to be that the two were talking about the mountains, but after he explained it, Huang Zichao suddenly realized: Could it be that King Yiduan is already preparing to rebel?

Or is he simply wary of his immediate boss?After all, the assassination was sabotaged by Hua Manlou himself, and Xishan's secret weapon was also used.

In short, this is not a good thing for Huamanlou or the court, so after Huang Zichao said a few perfunctory words, he planned to use the excuse of peeing to let that foolish Hanhan send the news as soon as possible—whether King Yiduan Is it going to rebel immediately, and the outside world can get the news earlier and make preparations earlier, and...

Once King Yiduan is determined to raise troops, the status of Uncle Huai'an as an imperial envoy will not be so easy to use. If he really bumps in at this time, I'm afraid he will be in bad luck.

But just after Huang Zichao's perfunctory words, Jiang Chao suddenly said: "Little Huang, Uncle Yu hasn't asked you yet, what are your plans for the future?"

Huang Zichao was taken aback for a moment, and then said in amazement: "Uncle Jiang, you...didn't you want me to stay in the palace?"

Jiang Chao shook his head and said, "What I mean is, do you really want to be a servant in the palace all the time? Or do you really hope that you can only teach new soldiers to the prince in the future?"

Huang Zichao didn't know what he meant, so he could only say: "Uncle Jiang, I hurt my leg during the Pingwo period, and now I'm considered useless. If I can have a meal in the palace, I have nothing else to ask for."

I have to say that Song Jie's character design for Huang Zichao is really good, and Huang Zichao has a lot of experience in grasping the mentality of veterans who have been disabled by war-after all, he has seen a lot, and he has never eaten pork or seen pigs Ran?So when he said this, the kind of ecstasy and decadence can be seen at a glance, and no one can catch the flaw.

And Jiang Chao no longer doubted his identity after seeing his reaction, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Uncle Yu knows that you are disheartened now, but have you ever thought about the day when you will make a comeback?"

Jiang Chao was really in a hurry, otherwise he would never have been so rash.But King Yiduan has already started intensive preparations. If there is no definite news at this time, what if Huamanlou suffers a big loss?

Therefore, he planned to take the risk and persuade Huang Zichao directly.

But Huang Zichao was stunned when he heard the words: "What does Uncle Jiang mean by that?"

Jiang Chao didn't answer directly, but said: "Think about it, although you used to be only a hundred households, but at any rate when you went out, you hugged each other, yelled five times and six times, not many people dared to provoke you, let alone make you angry. But now?"

Don't underestimate a hundred households in the locality. Although they look very inconspicuous, they are officials anyway, and they have the capital to be domineering. In the locality, even a ninth-rank patrol inspector can be considered a great big shot , let alone a hundred households with six grades?

Huang Zichao lowered his head when he heard the words, and sighed: "The legs are useless, what else can I do?"

Jiang Chao also sighed: "Uncle Yu knows exactly what it's like, because I have experienced this kind of thing myself. You don't know yet, do you? The future of my life, but good fortune tricks people, what can I do?"

Jiang Chao felt that Huang Zichao and himself were the same kind of people. They both experienced the warmth and coldness of human relationships after encountering an accident, so he naturally felt a lot of reconciliation—just like Jiang Chao himself, who was fucked just because he offended someone. To be so destitute, to study hard for more than ten years, and all the titles of the gold list turned into nothingness, how can you not feel resentful when encountering such a thing?

Sure enough, Huang Zichao sighed again when he heard the words: "Yes, good fortune tricks people, what's the point?"

"But..." Jiang Chao changed the subject: "What if I say that we all still have a chance? A chance to live a better life than before, a chance to get back everything we lost, and even get rid of the people who provoked us. Step on your feet, do you believe it?"

"What does Uncle Jiang mean?" Huang Zichao's heart sank.

Jiang Chaoshen said mysteriously: "As long as you grasp the opportunity, then everything is possible."

Jiang Chao felt that Huang Zichao's heart would naturally be moved at this moment. After all, he had suffered such a major setback, and after being exiled to a different place, his life was not as good as a beggar, so naturally he would not be too comfortable in his heart, and most likely he would have the idea of ​​revenge on society.

So in this way, Ting De can reach the peak again, how can he not be tempted?

But at this moment, Huang Zichao's heart was shocked. He was very sure that King Yiduan was about to start a riot.

"Uncle Jiang means..." Huang Zichao tentatively asked, "My lord?"

"Exactly." Jiang Chao said, "It's easy to get the power of the dragon, as long as you tell the whole story of how Xishanbo beat the Japanese pirates, it would be better if you knew more. Let me tell you, the prince never Treat those who have done something wrong to him, so...the opportunity is in front of you, do you want to seize it?"

"This..." Huang Zichao pretended to hesitate, but his heart was extremely panicked: This damned King Yiduan, how could he start a riot at this moment?

Seeing Huang Zichao's hesitation, Jiang Chao knew that he needed time to think about whether to take a gamble, so he got up and said, "I won't rush you, I'll give you three days to think about it, how about it?"

Huang Zichao took a deep breath: "Okay, let me think about it."

542. Chaos Caused by Bad Practices

"What are you talking about? King Yiduan wants to attack the old man?"

Song Jie, who designed to send Huang Zichao to the palace, has been working hard these days, but unfortunately the situation has changed and it is difficult for him to do anything, so he hasn't made any big moves in the past two days.

But today, after Huang Zichao's foolish Hanhan sent back the news, Song Jie couldn't sit still: "The old man is about to arrive, and King Yiduan doesn't know when he started the idea, if it's a little later... hiss, Hurry up, prepare the horse, let's meet Uncle as soon as possible, if it is too late, it will be too late!"

Song Jie's idea was very correct, because Jiang Chao sent someone to catch Uncle Huai'an first, and then he went to fool the 'Huang Laizi', and after Huang Zichao entered the palace, the two of them tested each other for two days. It would be a real delay if you come back.

For Song Jie, Bo Huai'an was far more important than King Yiduan's rebellion, so the first thing he had to do was to ensure the safety of Bo Huai'an, and the second was to add chaos to King Yiduan in Lanzhou.And if Uncle Huai'an went wrong this time, it would be really difficult for Huamanlou to explain it to him.

So Song Jie didn't care about the situation of Lanzhou Mansion at all. After leaving a few people to deliver the news, he led people to a hundred miles east of Lanzhou Mansion overnight, hoping to arrive before King Yiduan's men took action.

however……

After rushing out of the city for more than a hundred miles, Song Jie arrived near a county town east of Lanzhou Prefecture at dawn.

According to the plan before leaving Beijing, the large army will be here to replenish supplies and rest for a day to wait for the news from Lanzhou Prefecture, but when Song Jie arrived at the designated place, he saw only an empty camp.

"What's the situation, where are people?" Song Jie wandered around the camp in a daze, and shouted, "Is anyone there? What happened?"

This camp is undoubtedly the Xishanwei camp. The flags, vehicles, and imperial guards of honor are basically laid out here. Song Jie even saw Xishan's newly developed heavy artillery in a barracks, but there was no one in this camp. Not even those left behind.

A young soldier asked Song Jie tremblingly: "Boss, could it be... Uncle has bumped into something evil?"

Song Jie said angrily: "What evil spirit? Where did the evil spirit come from in broad daylight? You might as well search for any clues if you have the time to think about it!"

Song Jie was sure that the situation in this camp must be due to meeting the people of King Yiduan, so the most urgent task is to find out what happened, and then find the whereabouts of Uncle Huai'an, but the young soldier trembled: "But...but , if there is an attack, we will always have someone to fight back, right? But...but there is no trace of fighting in the camp..."

These words reminded Song Jie: Maybe the incident happened not in the camp?

No matter how you say it, Uncle Huai'an brought a group of thousands of people, and he was also the Xishan Guard with extraordinary combat power and superb firepower. If you want to rob Huai'an Uncle under the protection of these people, you need at least ten times or twenty times as many people. Can you take everyone away from this camp?

Or they really invited ghosts and gods, and they packed everyone up and took them home.

But then again, if King Yiduan could really invite the ghosts and gods, why didn't he let the ghosts and gods kill the emperor and the prince silently?In this way, wouldn't he just ascend the throne without rebelling?

So Song Jie said: "Don't talk nonsense, check around the camp and look for footprints!"

A few young soldiers hurriedly scattered and ran out, and after a while someone found their traces: there were only footprints of going out to the south of the camp, but no footprints of entering.

"It must be in this direction! Let's go!"

Song Jie took a few people on the horse again and followed the footprints to the south.

This way of thinking is correct. Several people investigated all the way and chased for half a day. When everyone was a little bit overwhelmed, they caught up with a large army blocked at the foot of a mountain.

The person leading the team was the desperate Peng Guang. At this moment, he looked extremely depressed, helpless, and extremely frantic.

Seeing him, Song Jie asked anxiously, "Why are you here? Where is Uncle?"

Peng Guangbei choked: "Uncle has been robbed! It's on this mountain! God damn King Yiduan!"

Song Jie got anxious when he heard this, he grabbed his neck and shouted: "What are you doing for a living? If something goes wrong this time, old man, you can go back to Beijing with your head to make amends to him. !"

When Peng Guang followed Huamanlou to Xishan, there were already a hundred households, and Song Jie was just a big soldier who had just entered Xishan.And now, even though they all took advantage of Huamanlou's advantage, Song Jie followed suit. At the moment, the two are at the same level, and Song Jie is obviously valued more, so Peng Guang didn't dare to yell at him at all. It's just more sad: "Let's save people first..."

"What's the situation now?" Song Jie let go of him and asked, "How did Uncle get robbed?"

Peng Guang burst into tears when he heard this: "Who knew that the county magistrate belonged to King Yiduan!"

The incoherent Peng Guang explained, and some young soldiers beside him added that Song Jie finally figured out the situation after a stick of incense: it was all caused by the identity of the imperial envoy.

In fact, for Beijing officials, going out of Beijing to do business is a coveted fat job. After all, according to common sense, going out of Beijing is generally "according to the holy metaphor" to go to a certain place to do something, so you have to say There is nothing wrong with the fact that most of the people who handle the affairs are imperial envoys, but the imperial envoys are of the third rank.

That is to say, whenever an official from Beijing arrives, most of the local officials will greet him, clean up the dust for him, and even offer him a very expensive gift—this is to give the imperial envoy face and make him happy. As for making troubles outside the local festival, secondly, I want to form a good relationship, maybe one day I will ask someone to do something, right?

This kind of bad habit has developed to the end, even if the officials who go out of Beijing don’t want to disturb others, they can’t do it, because they will be misunderstood: Are they looking down on me, or are they just here to find fault with me?

There are indeed many disturbances caused by this matter, so although this matter is of great importance, Uncle Huai'an also rejected most of the entertainment and only accepted Yicheng as a symbol, but after arriving near Lanzhou Prefecture, the brigade had to be repaired Second, I haven't received any news from Huang Zichao and Song Jie, so I can't just rush to Lanzhou Mansion without thinking, and third...

Well, the county magistrate was too enthusiastic in the past three years, so after some pushback, Uncle Huai'an took a dozen or so young soldiers to the county for a banquet.

Peng Guang originally wanted to follow, but Huang Zichao and Song Jie were not there, and someone had to be in charge of the camp, so he waited in the camp to wait for news, but waited left and right, and when he realized something was wrong in the middle of the night, someone went to the banquet with Uncle Huai'an The young man ran back in a panic to report: Uncle Huai'an was captured at the banquet, and it was Nazhi County who attacked.

Peng Guang was shocked when he heard the news, he didn't care about anything at the moment, he brought his men and chased them all the way, and successfully blocked them on the mountain.

In the end, Peng Guang wiped away his tears: "Fortunately, the old man is fine, otherwise, I would really have no face to go back to Beijing..."

"So you have the face to go back now?" Song Jie gave him a hard look: "Let's think about it, if there is something wrong with the old man, let's both wipe our necks!"

543. A Stunned Youth Comes Opposite

This is a hill that can't be found on the map. It is bare without any vegetation, and it doesn't even have a name. Mountains like this can be seen everywhere near Lanzhou Prefecture.

The only thing worthy of praise is that there is only one road up this mountain, which can be said to be easy to defend and difficult to attack. Therefore, Peng Guang was cautious and did not dare to send people to attack.

And on the mountain, the people from the Yiduan Palace who arrested Uncle Huai'an were also doubting their lives. They never expected that things would turn out like this.

Yesterday's deception and arrest operation went so smoothly, so smooth that everyone felt that this mission was a godsend, after all...

Thousands of years ago, after Liu Bang invited Xiang Yu to have a famous meal through the ages, everyone who went to the banquet in the future almost had to weigh in their hearts whether the other party had ambushed five hundred knives and axes outside, and only waited for the wine to pass three times. , chop yourself into dog meat sauce...

Cough, in short, Uncle Huai'an seemed to be undefended at all, which really surprised the people of King Yiduan.

However, they were soon frightened by Xishanwei—of course, the people in the palace didn't know it was Xishanwei, they just thought it was from Nanzhen Fusi—so much so that when some people ran away, they complained: "This is Did they catch their own father? They wouldn’t be chasing after them like this, would they?”

As a result, the group of people who planned to return Shi Shiran to the palace for business affairs were completely blinded. Not only did they miss the best time to escape, but they also ran in the wrong direction in a panic in the dark. It has been running towards the south.

What's more terrible is that after fleeing for their lives overnight, the guards of the palace were completely exhausted, but the group of people at the foot of the mountain seemed to be able to handle their tasks with ease, and their aura increased instead of diminishing. They were all murderous as if they were about to rush up to kill if they disagreed...

Do you want to talk about the Basic Law?
