In the next few days, Cheng Qiao gradually found that the atmosphere in the Jiangdu Palace seemed to have become different.

The first is that those Praetorian Guards are no longer as arrogant as they used to be in trouble, which certainly makes their daily work much smoother, but the second thing that surprised him is that these Praetorian Guard soldiers often gather together, secretly talk about something, look like they are talking about important things, and they all have angry faces, but as soon as they get closer, they immediately disperse.

Cheng Qiao was faintly uneasy.

He informed the commander of the Left Palace Army of his uneasiness, but the reply was: "It's easy for our two sides to get along peacefully, so don't make any more trouble." What the Praetorian Guard wants to do is their business, don't worry too much."

Hearing this, Cheng Qiao's heart became even more apprehensive, and he even felt that there was a dark cloud above his head, enveloping the entire Jiangdu Palace.

That night, after leading his men to patrol again, he closed the palace gate on time.

When closing the Guangming Gate, he couldn't help but glance inside, only to see Fu Jiang, the general of the Praetorian Guard, and Ge Yuanchong, the general of the Hu Benlang, sneaking around, as if walking towards the row house on the side, not knowing what they were doing.

Cheng Qiao sighed and turned to leave.

But the deputy general and Ge Yuanchong avoided everyone, and each brought some wine and food to find a quiet place to drink - it is a big sin to drink when you stay in the army, but these days, everyone's hearts are no longer in business, and the emperor has not been in court in recent months, and everyone has already been scattered and unruly.

The two of them sat down and began to push the cups and change the lamps.

After drinking for a while, it was dark.

Fu Jiang poured a full bottle of wine for Ge Yuanchong, and then said with a smile, "We haven't had such an easy time for some days. I heard that my brother has been leading troops in the city to clear the rebellion these days, but has he gained anything?"

"Hey, what a catch,"

Ge Yuanchong sneered: "It's just a group of poor people, who can't afford to eat and hold the sticks at home dare to rebel, and kill them, but they don't succeed."

"Why didn't you succeed?"

"Now, not only has Your Majesty not been in court for more than a month, but he has not even listened to the news from the outside, who dares to mention a rebellion to him, the traitor has not been killed, and the person who mentioned it has been killed first, saying that it is a crime of bewitching the public."

"It's—"

"If it goes on like this, he can only believe it if the traitor has rushed to his eyes."

Fu Jiang said: "Brother, be cautious, be cautious."

Ge Yuanchong was originally a person with an upright personality and a hot temper, but after drinking a little wine at this time, he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, and waved his big hand and said, "Be careful, our days have come to this. Do you know that there have been no fresh vegetables in the army for half a month, everyone's teeth are bleeding, and a few of them can't even pull out. It's just a good scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, a good scenery, and a scenery that kills people."

A cold light flashed in Fu Jiang's eyes, and he also sighed, "Yes, it's better for us to stay in Luoyang, so the house is our own, and the home is our own."

「……」

"Now that I'm in this Jiangdu, if there is really any accident, I'm a lonely ghost who dies here."

When Ge Yuanchong heard this, he was even more angry, and put the wine glass in his hand on the table with a snap, and suddenly the wine splashed, only to see him say viciously: "Rather than us die, it's better to-"....

Fu Jiang looked at him with wide eyes, "Brother, what are you going to say?"

At this time, Ge Yuanchong's voice lowered, he leaned in front of Fu Jiang and said softly, "I won't tell you, in fact, everyone has long been dissatisfied with this southern tour, but they dare not speak out. But this time, Your Majesty actually killed the Praetorian Guard for the sake of a woman, and he doesn't know what to do with us in the future.

As soon as the word "anti" came out, the door was suddenly slammed open.

Both of them were startled, and hurriedly turned their heads to look, only to see two familiar figures standing at the door, standing in front of them was Wang Shaoji, the general of the Right Tun Guard, and most of the faces behind him were hidden in the night, and it was his brother, the young eunuch Wang Shaoqiu.

Ge Yuanchong was startled, and before he could react, he saw Wang Shaoji pointing at him and said, "Okay, you two are so bold that you are plotting a rebellion here!" I'm going to report to the emperor!"

After saying that, turn around and leave.

Ge Yuanchong was so frightened that the wine he drank turned into a cold sweat and burst out, he hurriedly jumped up, took three steps and did two steps and rushed up to catch him, but Wang Shaoqiu, who was standing behind Wang Shao, lost no time in stopping his brother and said, "Brother, don't be impulsive first, listen to what others say."

Wang Shaoji said angrily, "What else is there to say?"

Ge Yuanchong rushed in front of him and said in a deep voice, "General Wang, I admit that I was just talking - but, am I the only one who has this heart? You go and ask Jiangdu Palace, ask your subordinates, which one doesn't want to rebel?"

Wang Shaoji was shocked, looked at Wang Shaoqiu, and then at Fu Jiang, as if asking them for verification.

And both men were silent, nodding slightly.

When Wang Shaoji heard this, he stomped his foot angrily: "You are so bold!"

Ge Yuan said: "General Wang, in fact, I have long wanted to tell you that now Your Majesty does not trust you as much as before, and when you go to the south, there will naturally be southern gentry to take our place. Rather than being deprived of military power at that time, it is better to take advantage of the soldiers and horses in your hands now to do a great thing, if the great thing can be accomplished, your brother will be famous for a hundred years; If you can't make it, at least you will fight and live up to the prestige of your ancestors!"

"It's—"

Wang Shaoji also made a hesitant look, and Wang Shaoqiu on the side coughed lightly, as if to signal something, Wang Shaoji looked at him, and then said, "What you say is also reasonable."

Ge Yuanchong was overjoyed and said, "General Wang really has courage!"

After speaking, he directly stretched out his hand and pulled Wang Shaoji and Wang Shaoqiu into the room, and took out two more wine glasses, and the four of them drank together.

This time, although they drank alcohol, the more they drank, the more sober they became.

Fu Jiang said: "Although we agreed, it is not so easy to convey the matter, and besides, we really have to raise troops——, what if someone does not dare to leak the news?"

Several people subconsciously turned their heads to look at Wang Shaoqiu.

Although three of them are leading soldiers, the combined brains of the three of them are not as good as one Wang Shaoqiu, and they can only hope for him at this moment.

I saw Wang Shaoqiu slowly put the wine glass on the table and said, "Who said that what we conveyed was the news of the rebellion?"

A few people were stunned: "That's—"

Wang Shaoqiu said: "The news we want to convey is that the Qing monarch is on the side, and the evil is punished."

Ge Yuanchong subconsciously said, "Who is the evil man?"

Wang Shaoqiu's eyes showed a cold light: "Whoever makes the people of the Praetorian Guard suffer a loss, he is an evil man."
