"Hmph, the Chao family always thought that Juyeze was the one who had the final say. Whatever they said was, everyone in other families had problems, and their own people were loyal. How could such a thing be done?" The strong man of black meat spitted fiercely, "I was timid, and I was worried that Wu Ningjun had come to fight, and I was worried that someone would collude with Wu Ningjun inside, or I suspected that we were not good for them, and I was suspicious, making everyone restless."

"Even if this is the case, the Chao family won't turn their backs on the other side, right?" another strong man asked in confusion.

"This is not a question of whether to turn against each other or not. The Chao family nominally suspects that some people in our country collude with the Wuning Army and want to take action first and attack us. But in fact, I suspect that they want to swallow our troops all at once, such a dominant family can bargain with the Wuning Army."

The strong black man snorted disdainfully, but his eyes became colder.

"He Chao's family thought that others were fools and had to be coaxed by him. If the Chao family really wanted to fight against Wuning's army to the end, they would not retreat step by step. You can beat you, I will beat me, fight from Pinglu, and catch Wuning's army off guard!"

The east side of Pinglu is about to break through. Even if you avoid the Wuning army in Pinglu, there is a lot of room for you to go from Pinglu to Rencheng, but the Chao family refused to move. They also pretended to say that the Wuning army was powerful and now they should do their best to protect Xuchang and Shouzhang.

Humph, don’t think about it. With this little power, if you don’t play the trick of attacking Wei in the east and surrounding Wei to save Zhao, how can you resist the Wuning army’s advance to Xuchang Shouzhang?

If the trick of surrounding Wei and saving Zhao is no longer effective, it means that Xu Chang and Shou Zhang are really lost. They either surrender to Wuning's army or they can only retreat back to the lake and wait for death.

Ruan Zhongyu saw this issue very clearly. The Chao family had a strange intention and did not plan to go to the dark road.

It would be fine if you had a strange intention, but if you went your own way, if you wanted to use the heads of your own clan as a gift for the flag sacrifice and add luster to their Chao family, then you would forgive the Ruan family for not being with you.

"Second Master, what should we do?" the man behind him couldn't help asking.

After letting out a long sigh, Ruan Zhongyu was also hesitant.

The power under the Ruan family is far from that of the Chao family. Even though they are comparable to that of Liangshan, they are far from that of Shouzhang, Yuncheng, and Juye.

"Contact my elder brother immediately. If it doesn't work, we will find another way." Ruan Zhongyu finally made up his mind, "I have to make my elder brother ready."

Both of his confidants heard the hidden meaning in Ruan Zhongyu's words, and one of them said: "Then I'll inform the uncle if the second master is here tonight..."

"Well, it's all tonight, otherwise I won't go tomorrow, and the Chao family will be suspicious." Ruan Zhongyu gritted his teeth, "It seems that the days are not long. Let's see if there is a better opportunity to change the dock. Maybe it's the luck of a group of brothers."

*********************************************

Chao Xiangfang didn't wait for Ruan Zhongyu, and he was both disappointed and unwilling to accept it.

The Ruan family is the second only to the Chao family in this Juyeze. The two families had a good relationship. At least in the Zhu Mao era, both families had joined forces to fight against the enemy and had a lot of fun with Zhu Mao.

During this period, many defeated soldiers fled from Sucheng and Xuchang one after another. Before, Chao Xiangfang didn't care much. The lake bandits were originally like this style of rushing up and running. Except for the elites of his own and Ruan family, the others were almost the same.

But as all kinds of rumors spread on the mountain, he had to suspect that there was something strange here.

There were a lot of people who escaped, including officer leaders of a considerable level, small leaders and leaders who were originally very confident in the rebel army, and those fishermen who were themselves fishermen and fishermen on the edge of Liangshan, also had a great relationship with the rebel army. Later, they simply joined the rebel army.

One or two hundred people came back one after another, and they had relatives and friends in the rebel army, so all kinds of news they brought back immediately began to spread.

He had asked each family to isolate and inspect the fleeing officers and soldiers several times, but this was obviously difficult. Even within the Chao family, it was difficult to do to others what he did not want others to do to him. It would undoubtedly be unrealistic to ask several other companies for this purpose.

But various rumors that broke out sharply became the most unstable factor in the Liangshan Rebel Army.

You suspect that I have collusion with Wu Ningjun, I suspect that you want to take me as a confession, and some people suspect that this is a decisive plan created by Wu Ningjun, but the key is, whose words have the most prestige? Who will reconcile this contradiction?

"Second brother, what should I do? The Ruan family obviously had a strange intention. These guys can only share wealth and honor, but not suffering. If there is any disturbance outside, they will be suspicious and are too protective of their shortcomings. They know that it is necessary to review the people who come back, but they just refuse to accept it. These short-sighted guys!" The handsome young man with dark skin said angrily, and couldn't help but stab the water-dividing spike in his hand on the table.

"We can't blame the Ruan family all the time." Chao Xiangfang was very objective and smacked his lips and said, "The situation in this lake is complicated. There are so many families in the scattered area, but the minds are not unified. It's a pity that Huaiyou captured so many people and actually put them back. It's clear that we have told us that there are their spies, and there are quite a few, but each family has its own people. In this case, you have to uniformly review and identify them. How can you do it? My father's prestige has not yet reached the point of unifying the entire Juyezawa. This is our weakness!"

"What should we do?" said the handsome young man with dissatisfaction: "Did you just watch Huaiyou mess up our situation and then swallow us one by one?"

Chao Xiangfang didn't want to say much, but he felt that his young brother should know something. After a pause, he said, "Wulang, my father had some plans. Once the skin of the lake bandits is touched, it will be difficult to take off. My father said that it would be fine for him in his life, but he didn't want us to be lake bandits for the rest of his life. Therefore, after Zhu Mao gave up Yunzhou, my father had contact with Daliang......"

"Ah?!" The handsome young man was shocked and a little disbelief, "Why didn't my father allow me to go to Bianliang to play tricks?"

"Hmph, are you not allowed to go to Bianliang to play tricks? If you are taken by Bianliang, will your father lose the handle and lose confidence in negotiations with Bianliang?" Chao Xiangfang said angrily: "Wurang, you are not young, you are talented and have a quick entry into martial arts, but this world cannot be determined by force alone. Many times, you need to be more attentive. Dad has cared enough for you, and you should grow up."

The handsome young man felt a little embarrassed, but he also knew that his second brother's words were for his own good.

The five tigers of the Chao family, the eldest brother has already taken half of the sky, the second brother is mainly responsible for external relations, the third brother is responsible for internal relations, but the fourth brother has been traveling outside, but he vaguely knew that the fourth brother was actually also inspecting everywhere, only he was carefree and free and easy.

But the second brother said it well. Now is no longer as usual. The forces of Juyeze’s families are facing tremendous pressure, and they may even be suddenly born and destroyed. Everyone is struggling for their own destiny. As a member of the Chao family, no one else needs to take on their own responsibilities.

"Second brother, how are the father and Daliang talking?" The handsome young man's face gradually became serious.

"Not very good." Chao Xiangfang shook his head and sighed, "To be precise, Daliang has already lost his spirit. Zhu Mao gave up Yunzhou. This Yunzhou is almost under the control of our Chao family and several other Huli forces. Daliang actually pushed for the three obstacles and thought that our requirements were too high, but did our requirements be high? We only hope to form a naval army of two armies, and then the governor is the candidate we recognized, but Daliang was unwilling to agree because it was too much to spend! It was simply unimaginable!"

"Why is Daliang like this?!" The handsome young man couldn't understand, "It is impossible to say that Daliang cannot support it. I am in Bianliang City, where officials and nobles spend money like soil. Every night, every restaurant and every restaurant are full of guests. It is common for prostitutes to have fun all night, and it is common for spending hundreds of gold overnight. There are also the courtesan competitions in late spring and early autumn every year, and there are even thousands of people in the streets. How can it be..."

"Hmph, there is nothing impossible. That's what Daliang Political Affairs Hall and the Privy Council said. Do you want to say it's an excuse? Are they not interested in a state of Yunzhou?" Chao Xiangfang couldn't help but feel a little angry, "I can only say that Daliang is old and cannot bear to entrust it! The prince is not enough to make a plan!"

Chao Xiangfang used an old saying to scold the generals and ministers in Daliang.

"Since that's the case, we should find another way out!" The handsome young man immediately continued: "The world is in chaos and the heroes are rising. Although our Chao family is dominant in Yunzhou, it is not enough to stand up. Today's plan is to find a big tree to rely on, which can also clear our Chao family of thieves and glorify our ancestors."

Chao Xiangfang didn't expect that his younger brother was so quick-thinking, and nodded with satisfaction: "That's true, so my father intends to be optimistic about Huaiyou..."

"Then why do we still have to fight Huaiyou to death?" The handsome young man was surprised, but immediately reacted: "Dad, do you want to use this to prove the importance and weight of our Chao family? Isn't this a little too much?"
