Chapter 133: The chaotic situation in Zhoufu
When Murong Gong heard this, he looked at Jiang Chaodao with a strange look in his eyes:
"What you have done in Anning County, I have long known that your ability to command the army is definitely above your grandfather. And what Zheng An wants to do, you and I know it. Even if I want to report this matter to the court, if there is no evidence, I may still be bitten back by Zheng An. ”
"Moreover, even if there is evidence, whether or not this news can be delivered to His Majesty's hands is a big problem. Besides, with Your Majesty's good fortune, I really don't want to take this risk. put the life of his family in his hands. ”
"Now, the only thing I can do is protect myself. And the only one who can deal with the current crisis is the virtuous nephew. As long as the virtuous nephew is willing to help me, the old man should do his best to cooperate with the virtuous nephew. ”
When Jiang Chao heard this, he faintly understood the reason.
Murong Gong knew about Zheng An, but there was no evidence, and there was no way for Zheng An to do it.
But even if there is evidence, the prince of Zhenguo is now a celebrity in front of the emperor, and Murong Palace will cause trouble for himself if he doesn't do it. ruined his own family.
After all, this emperor is a little mediocre, and Grandpa Jiang Chao is proof of this. Murong Gong didn't want to gamble with his family's lives.
Therefore, even if he knew the fact that Zheng An was preparing to rebel, he could only choose not to see it in front of him.
However, now he is facing the fact that after Zheng An's rebellion, he wants to capture Zhoufu.
If Zheng An captures Zhoufu, the Murong Palace family may be in trouble, and if it is not done well, the family will be ruined.
What he can do now is to find a way to protect the Zhou Mansion, even if Zheng An rebels. He also keeps his family safe.
And Jiang Chao's feat and ability to defeat the two bandits made him notice. He wanted Jiang Chao to help him defend the Zhou Mansion when the time came.
After all, there are too few capable generals now, and he does not dare to pin his hopes on those mediocre talents.
It's just that his idea is good, but it's not so easy to implement. Because, he is only the number one in the Zhou Mansion. But he did not have full military power.
Half of this military power is in the hands of Huang Cheng, the pacification envoy. At this time, Jiang Chao somewhat understood why Huang Cheng wanted to frame Murong Palace.
The other party wanted to drag Murong Palace into the water, so as to take the opportunity to completely control the officials and troops of the entire Zhou Mansion. It is even possible that the official seal will be used in case of emergency.
"Uncle, I don't know if that Huang Cheng is Zheng An's subordinate?!" Jiang Chao asked Murong Palace. He was a little suspicious of Huang Cheng's background.
"In this Ningzhou Mansion, in addition to Zheng An's layout, there is also the layout of King Yuan. Huang Cheng is the person under King Yuan. They all took a fancy to the richness of Ningzhou Mansion and the granary here. ”
"If Zheng An gets into trouble, he will definitely try his best to take down Zhoufu. If the world is in turmoil, King Yuan will definitely take advantage of the situation, and their target is also the granary of Ningzhou. ”
Murong Gong's face was full of worry.
When Jiang Chao heard this, he somewhat understood the reason why Murong Palace found him.
No wonder he would say that this Ningzhou has now become a place of chaos.
Zheng An wants to take Ningzhou, and King Yuan also wants to take it. He, the Zhizhou, is caught in the middle, and he is definitely in a dilemma. If you want to be left and right, it's difficult!
Huang Cheng should have wanted to pull Murong Palace to his side, and when Zheng An got up, the Yuan King took advantage of the situation to rely on the official army of Zhoufu to take Zhoufu.
Jiang Chao looked at Murong Palace, his eyes showed a hesitation, he couldn't imagine that he was getting deeper and deeper now.
From the beginning of getting into trouble with bandits, to now, a series of events have happened that have brought him deeper and deeper into the whirlpool.
He can ignore the affairs of the Zhou Mansion, but the affairs of the Yelang clan make it difficult for him to get out.
Even if he can hide until Zheng An gets into trouble, if Zheng An really gets into trouble, he will be stupid enough to tell the world that he Zheng An has an accident?!
In the end, he will only be the one behind the scenes.
Moreover, if Zheng An gets into trouble, in addition to taking the Zhou Mansion, the first target may be Anning County and him. There are even backer villages.
He can hide from the first year of junior high school, but he can't hide from the fifteenth, he is alone, but there is nothing to worry about. But he has people to worry about now. He couldn't have left them alone.
"Since my uncle invites me, how dare my little nephew disobey, but the affairs of the Yelang clan have to rely on my uncle!" Jiang Chao saluted Murong Palace.
He couldn't hesitate to do this, even if it was a deep pit, he had to get in.
In fact, Murong Gong was even more helpless than him. The two forces are sandwiched between him, to be precise, three forces, and the mediocre emperor of the court.
No matter which one it is, if he is not careful, he may not recover.
There is no way for him to escape, because, he has no choice, he can't leave in style.
There is a family, a room, and relatives and friends.
If he really dares to provoke a child, it is estimated that his brother in the capital will be implicated.
Moreover, the world is so big, where can he go?!
"Don't worry, since it's decided, I won't bother with Zheng An, as for Your Majesty's side, I will explain! Although, in doing so, it may also cause His Majesty to be unhappy. However, if you can solve this matter, your majesty may let you go. ”
Murong Gong patted his shoulder, and there was a joy in his eyes.
"The affairs of the Yelang clan, I will give my uncle some advice on how to deal with it, and I will ask my uncle later, and the little nephew will retire first!" Jiang Chao nodded to Murong Palace.
He can be regarded as officially tied to a rope with Murong Palace. If only the two of them could survive this crisis. Many things can be solved.
If they can't make it, they may all die in this Ningzhou Mansion.
Murong Gong sent Jiang Chao out of the room, looking at Jiang Chao's departing figure, his eyes showed a look of anticipation. The originally gloomy expression seemed to be a little clearer.
"My lord, are you really sure you want to invite him?! With him, how can he help adults get out of this crisis?! At this time, the middle-aged man on the side, who was called the fifth old, said to Murong Gong.
From the time he knew what he was doing in Anning County, the old man had already pinned his hopes on him. This son will definitely not be a thing in the pool, old man Jiang, he gave birth to a good grandson. Old Five, believe it or not, he really has the potential to help us get out of this dangerous situation. ”
Murong Gong looked at the middle-aged man on the side with excitement on his face, and his voice carried a strong confidence.
The middle-aged man showed a disbelief on his face. The voice shook his head a little sarcastically and said: "My lord, no matter how powerful he is, he is just a hairy boy, and the deep pool here in Zhoufu, just by him, I am afraid that his ability is still not enough." ”
"Not enough?! Ha ha...... Old Five, I'm afraid you don't know his ability, do you know, at the beginning, he only used about thirty villagers who didn't know anything, and completely defeated nearly a hundred bandits who killed people without blinking. ”
