"Hush, keep your voice down. This is the youngest son of a neighbor of a distant relative of my second uncle. He works as a small steward in the general's mansion. He heard this while he was working."

“I’ve also heard that my brother-in-law has quite a big business, and he often ships furs from here to the capital.

Winter is coming, and he was planning to ship another batch recently, but then he received news that the capital was in chaos, so he shouldn't go for the time being."

Someone asked in confusion after hearing this: "I just can't understand why the prince is so anxious when he is only one step away from becoming the emperor? Can't he wait?"

"Because he can't wait any longer!" The people at another table answered him directly.

As soon as these words were spoken, those who were drinking looked at the person who spoke curiously, wanting to hear him explain in detail why the prince could not wait any longer.

The man took a big gulp of the liquor, then casually wiped the wine stains from the corners of his lips with his sleeve and spoke carelessly.

"The Crown Prince and the Emperor's concubine have had an affair, and the concubine is pregnant. The Crown Prince can't wait any longer."

Everyone looked at each other in surprise when they heard this. They obviously didn't expect that there was such a royal secret behind the rebellion. The person who was speaking must be someone special to know this.

Some smart people have already said with a smile: "Brother, we are destined to meet today. I will pay for your meal. Thank you for helping us solve our puzzles."

The middle-aged man who was speaking laughed loudly upon hearing this. "Then I will be disrespectful to refuse. I will not take advantage of you for nothing. Why don't I tell you more about the situation in the capital."

After taking a sip of strong liquor, the man continued, “Although the fight has already started in the capital, the prince’s chances of winning are not great.

As everyone knows, the imperial guards in the capital are under the control of the Wu family, and the fourth and fifth princes were sent by the emperor to serve as the main general and deputy general this time.

In order to prevent the Fourth Prince from being put in danger, the Wu family will certainly increase their military strength. Besides, although the Crown Prince's private army is not small in number, they do not have many elite soldiers and generals. In this case..."

The man took another sip of the liquor and swallowed the words "definitely lose".

After hearing this, the waiter in charge of cleaning the inn frowned and said, "Alas, these royal nobles have money to burn, and they have no worries about food and drink every day, but they have to make trouble.

When everything is gone, freeze them for a few days, starve them for a few days, and they will surely behave themselves. "

The drunken guest next to him laughed and echoed, "Yes, every time there is a war, it is the poor people like us who suffer. The rich and powerful people sneaked away with their families as soon as they got the news.

I just hope that this war starts in the capital and ends in the capital, and doesn’t spread any further.”

His words reflected the thoughts of many people, and everyone sighed after hearing them. Yes, don't let it spread any further. This is the border, and they have to fight with nomadic tribes occasionally.

If there is no stability in Dagan, those barbarians will certainly take the opportunity to attack after they get to know the news, and then we will be in trouble.

The middle-aged man naturally noticed the changes in the expressions of the diners in the lobby. He took another gulp of liquor, trying to suppress his annoyance.

"General, news has come from the capital that the Fourth Prince was killed by the rebels!" An armored soldier quickly walked up to the middle-aged man and reported in panic.

The middle-aged man's hand holding the wine bowl suddenly stopped, and he looked at the guard in disbelief, "What did you say? The fourth prince is dead? How is this possible?"

The soldier knelt on one leg and replied, "General, the message was sent over 800 miles in a hurry, so there can't be any mistakes."

The middle-aged man, no, the general, of course knew that the news was correct, he just didn't understand why the fourth prince died...

He originally wanted to choose a side after the Fourth Prince wiped out the rebels.

Now he was scared when he thought about it. Fortunately, he did not listen to the advice of his staff in the palace and took sides before this. Otherwise, he would be waiting to be settled by the new emperor.

The soldier walked up to the general and whispered, "General, there is news from the capital that the fifth prince...he has become a eunuch."

The general raised his eyebrows and tried to lower his voice: "Eunuch? Doesn't that mean that the only one who has a chance to ascend the throne is..."

He suppressed the words "Sixth Prince", but it was obvious that both of them understood each other's meaning.

But the general's frown deepened. Even though he was far away at the border, he knew the Sixth Prince's nickname of playing with the world. How could such a person become the emperor?

If the Sixth Prince really ascended the throne, Da Gan would be doomed soon.

Just as the general fell into deep thought, the diners in the inn were terrified. They never expected that the person they had just chatted with was the legendary General Hu!

It is said that General Hu is nine feet tall, looks extremely scary, and can stop children from crying at night.

But this person is only about seven feet tall. Although he looks a bit rough, he has a decent appearance. No matter how you look at him, he is exactly the same as the one in the rumors.

General Hu quickly came back to his senses from his thoughts. When he noticed the silence around him, he smiled and spoke to everyone.

"Now that I'm out and about, I'm just an ordinary person. You don't have to treat me like a general. Eat and drink well. I'm leaving now."

Before leaving, General Hu paid for the meals of everyone in the lobby. In his words, he had disturbed everyone's mood for eating and drinking, so he still had to apologize.

After General Hu left, everyone immediately sighed.

"So General Hu is so kind. I was really deceived by the rumors."

"Who isn't? We are so safe here thanks to General Hu. If he hadn't led the frontier soldiers to defend the place, those barbarians would have rushed in long ago."

Amid the lively discussion, Xu Jinhuan and his friends in the corner also held a small meeting.

"I didn't expect the capital to become chaotic faster than we expected." Xie Datou said in a deep voice.

After careful consideration, Li Yichang said solemnly, "I am afraid that no matter which side wins, this war is just the beginning."

Su Sanxi was stunned when he heard this, "Brother Li, what you mean is..."

Li Yichang nodded slowly, "As we've been on this journey, you've noticed that more and more people have become bandits.

If the boss hadn't intervened when the plague broke out, there would have been more and more bandits. Although they are fighting each other now, there is no guarantee that they won't gather together and become a difficult problem."

Xu Jinhuan didn't act as nervous as her subordinates. She smiled and used clean chopsticks to pick up a piece of food for each person.

"Don't worry, those will only be opportunities for us to become famous. Now it's time to eat, so just focus on eating and don't think about anything else."

Upon hearing this, the subordinates obediently picked up their bowls and started eating.

Xu Jinhuan nodded in satisfaction. A hint of deep thought flashed across her lowered eyes. Logically speaking, the capital city would not fall into chaos so quickly. Could it be that there was someone behind this?

Is it him?
