Chapter 166: The water in the capital is too deep

"See the general!"

When several captains rushed over from the barracks saw Chen Chao, they all clenched their fists and said in a deep voice.

Although the Chen Dynasty had already received Zhou Mi's handsome seal and commanded hundreds of thousands of troops to fight against bandits in Yunzhou, it had not been officially canonized by the imperial court, so everyone could not directly call Chen Chao "marshal", which would cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

Therefore, it is generally still called a general!

Chen Chao waved his hand and told a few people to be casual.

Hou Ji also brought out a few stools for them and placed them behind Chen Chao.

"General, General?!"

There was a bang.

Old man An couldn't help but straighten up and stand up.

The stool behind him fell to the ground with a sound.

Old man An had a surprised expression on his face and looked at Chen Chao in front of him.

Isn't he an outsider in business?

Why does everyone else call him "The General"?

In the past few days, the military camp near Nanshan suddenly became lively, and Old Man An inquired around, and all the officers and soldiers of Daji who lived there were returned from winning the battle in Yunzhou, and they were going to enter Beijing to accept the imperial court reward in the near future, but they were all great heroes, and they were characters that he could not reach in his life.

But these great heroes, at this moment, call Chen Chao a general?

And I have a lot of respect for him.

Chen Chao is not an outsider in business, but a .....

After thinking about it for a moment, Old Man An's lips trembled, and he couldn't stand steadily.

Seeing Old Man An like this, Chen Chao sighed helplessly, turned around and glared viciously at the group of big men behind him..... Look at how scared people?!

The lieutenants sat upright, their waists straight, and their eyes were looking ahead.

With his hands on his knees, he looked very innocent.

"Actually, in fact, I ....." Chen Chao frowned, and wanted to explain his identity, but after thinking about it, he stepped forward to help the stool up, put it back on, and helped Old Man An to sit down again.

"General, general, villain to meet the general, to meet...."

Old man An recovered from the shock and hurriedly knelt down.

Chen Chao didn't let him succeed, and said: "You don't have to see outside, let's continue the topic just now, you said that your son's family came back from other places?" That's a good idea. ”

Old man An was stunned, he didn't understand very much.

"Where's your little grandson? Academically, how's it going? Chen Chao asked.

Old man An thought about it, and without the casualness just now, he tried to say:

"Everything is fine, except for the staff, no, thanks to the general's blessing, Jing'er is all fine in the school, the school is in charge of food and housing, and those who excel in their studies will also be rewarded,"

"Oh, that's good, in the future, if you get ahead in the imperial examination, you can be regarded as having a good time." Chen Chao was pleased.

Old man An nodded slightly awkwardly in agreement, glancing at the few big men behind Chen Chao.

Seeing the fierce look between their eyebrows, they couldn't help but shudder.

Chen Chao waved his hand and asked Hou Ji to bring a pot of tea and put a few coarse porcelain bowls.

Chen Chao personally handed Old Man An a bowl, Old Man An was shocked, and all the lieutenants were stunned, and even Hou Ji felt incredible.

"This can't be helped, this can't be done...."

Old man An was terrified, this was more uncomfortable than killing him.

Chen Chao didn't care, he hated those who were in power and did nothing, but he especially liked these simple and unpretentious ordinary people.

The two pulled each other, and Old Man An finally took over Chen Chao's tea bowl, holding it in the palm of his hand for fear of spilling a drop, which was extremely precious.

Later, the two chatted about other farm things.

Chen Chao asked very carefully, and Old Man An answered very carefully.

When parting, Old Man An returned to his original appearance, put the hoe on his shoulder, and left with a shake.

Chen Chao and the lieutenants stood at the gate of the manor, looking at the back of the farmer, matching the farmland on both sides, and smiled sincerely.

Didn't they fight in Yunzhou just to make the world such a beautiful picture?

It wasn't until the peasant's figure completely disappeared from sight that Chen Chao patted his sleeves and turned back to the manor.

The others followed, surveying the manor curiously.

Except for Murong Chong, who was born and has a good family background, others, like Xu Biao and Li Sandao, are all from mud legs, where have they ever come to such a good manor, and they only feel incompatible with this manor for a while.

Under the grape trellises, the green grapes, which are not yet fully ripe, hang in clusters on the branches, crystal clear, and hang down naturally.

Chen Chao walked to the table under the grape trellis and sat down, and naturally picked up the idle book on the table and opened it.

"General, who are you? This estate looks like a lot of money, and it's all your property? Xu Biao grinned and asked.

"Guess."

Chen Chao smiled.

Since going to Yunzhou, Chen Chao has deliberately hidden his identity, and even Hou Ji and Ning Baizhi, who are closest to him, are called "generals" every day, rather than Xiangye.

Therefore, few people in the Changsheng army knew the true identity of the Chen Dynasty.

knew that the Chen Dynasty was the prime minister of the dynasty, and there were only a handful of people in Pingyi City.

Hearing this, Xu Biao frowned and thought about it, and said with an urn voice:

"I guess there must be a lot of power in the general's family in the capital, maybe your father is a military general!"

Chen Chao nodded: "That makes sense......

Xu Biao grinned, and at the same time stabbed three times with his elbow, showing off:

"Look, I'm right, you don't usually believe me."

Li San slashed and didn't smile.

Hehe twice in response.

In private, of course, the lieutenants guessed the true identity of the main general Chen Chao.

Xu Biao thought that Chen Chao was the son of a military general in the court, and the son inherited his father's business.

Many people agree with Xu Biao's view, but many people disagree.

Among them is the three knives.

In short, the identity of the Chen Dynasty is confusing, and there are different opinions.

Everyone is waiting for the time to be sealed and the true identity of the Chen Dynasty will be revealed.

Coughing lightly, Chen Chao pulled everyone's thoughts back and said:

"I invite you to come over today, there are a few things to focus on, which are related to everyone's future, and you must listen carefully and earnestly fulfill them...... Ugly words are ahead, if something goes wrong with one of them, don't come to me afterwards. ”

Seeing that Chen Chao was very serious and serious, everyone put away their thoughts, pricked up their ears, and listened carefully.

For a while, in the courtyard, there was only the voice of Chen Chao speaking alone.

Chen Chaodao:

"Everyone also knows that in this battle of Yunzhou, our winning army has won consecutive battles, never defeated, and the first merit, in a few days, you can go to the Golden Palace to receive your majesty's reward......"

Rumble!

Before he finished speaking, the bottom of the pot was fried.

Upper Golden Palace?

Receiving a reward from His Majesty?

That's a great honor......

When they fight, they don't feel much credit for their work.

But after a few days of quiet thought, everyone couldn't sleep happily.

Not everyone can climb the Golden Palace, and there is a chance to meet His Majesty, once upon a time they were all mud legs, ordinary people.

But after a battle, they can all meet the legendary emperor.

"The credit is what you deserve, the day of the reward is imminent, but whether you can grasp it, it's up to you, now, there are many people who are jealous of your merits, people's hearts are separated from the belly, you have to guard against, you temporarily live in the Qingyuan County military camp, you must strictly restrain your subordinates, no one is allowed to step out of the military camp before receiving the reward, don't give others a chance."

"I want to tell you that it is not easier to make a living in the capital than to fight in Yunzhou, Yunzhou is a real knife and a real gun, you can see and touch it, the enemies in the capital are all hidden arrows, killing people in invisible ......"

Chen Chao felt compelled to say this.

The water in the capital is too deep......

These reckless people can't grasp it, and they are easy to be tricked and fall into death.

Chen Chao only hoped that these first-class heroes on the battlefield would get what they deserved, instead of being used by others.

"If anyone dares to make a mistake, don't blame me for being ruthless!" As soon as Chen Chao's words fell, his face was full of expression, and a killing intent was revealed.

The lieutenants were startled and felt a deep chill.

"Obey the general's orders!"

Everyone clasped their fists, and Chen Chao waved his hand, telling them to go back and convey his meaning to their respective subordinates.

Be strict with yourself!

Everyone turned around and was about to leave, but Chen Chao spoke again, "That, Murong Chong will leave you for the time being......"
