Part 1: A Dream Within A Dream / Rebirth of Ill Fated Concubine

Chapter 076 Breaking the Deadlock

"Jiang family?" Guan Lianghan frowned: "The Jiang family of Jiang Quan in Capital? I don't have anyone with the surname Jiang under my command, so I don't know. What are you looking for the eldest son of the Jiang family for? When did you get involved with the Jiang family?" 

"Third brother, don't blame second brother for not reminding you. The Jiang family is a pool of muddy water. Behind it is the Xia family. Who is the Xia family? It is entangled with the eighth brother. The eighth brother is stinking mud. Whoever touches it will be unlucky!"

"I have nothing to do with Ye Li." Xiao Shao said.
 
"Second brother, third brother is not for the eighth prince," Mo Cong teased, "It's for the eldest lady of the Jiang family."

"What eldest lady of the Jiang family?" Guan Lianghan said, "Doesn't Jiang Quan have only one daughter, that talented woman? Third brother, are you interested in her? It's not that good, when did your vision become so bad?"

Guan Lianghan hasn't been in Capital for a year and has no idea about Jiang Ruan. Xiao Shao glanced at Mo Cong coldly, but Mo Cong was unmoved and touched his nose: "Third brother, Ye Feng told me that you ordered him to investigate Miss Jiang. What's the matter?" 

He smiled at Guan Lianghan: "This Miss Jiang just returned to Capital at the end of the year. She was born to the deceased wife of Minister Jiang. She is extremely beautiful, but she is quite fierce and scheming. She has made Miss Jiang and Second Mrs. Jiang run around in circles." 

He thought of something and suddenly smiled: "I'm afraid that the second young master Jiang has been fooled by her." Mo Cong was smart and had a vague guess about Jiang Chao's affairs. 

Hearing Mo Cong's words, Guan Lianghan frowned: "So, she is a vicious woman?"

"It doesn't matter what kind of person she is." Xiao Shao interrupted him, "You really don't have Jiang Xinzhi under your command?"

Seeing him like this, Guan Lianghan put away the frivolous expression on his face and said: "There is no such person as Jiang Xinzhi, but I know there is a person named Zhao Xinzhi."

Zhao Xinzhi? Xiao Shao raised his eyebrows: "That's him." 

Jiang Xinzhi originally hated the Jiang family, and it was very likely that he would change his surname to his mother's after joining the army.

"Where is he now?" Xiao Shao asked.

"I went to Capital first, and he followed the army behind." Guan Lianghan said: "He is my deputy general. You said he is the eldest son of the Jiang family?"

"Deputy general?" Mo Cong looked at Xiao Shao: "Third brother, your brother-in-law is very good."

Guan Lianghan and Xiao Shao both regarded Mo Cong as air. Guan Lianghan said: "This Zhao Xinzhi should not be underestimated. He started as a soldier who cooked, did an excellent job, and was promoted all the way. When he first entered the barracks, he was as thin as Lao Qi and looked like a scholar who could be blown away by a gust of wind." 
 
"He kept asking to go to the battlefield, but I didn't agree. Later, I saw that he was well trained, so I took him to fight. This man is not afraid of death. He didn't dare to kill people at first, but later he killed fiercely and lost the sourness of a scholar. I think he is a man, and he is fighting better and better. He has made several military achievements and was promoted to deputy general. This time he took the initiative to ask to go back to Capital with me."

Xiao Shao looked at him, Guan Lianghan said: "The eldest lady of the Jiang family you mentioned, if Zhao Xinzhi is really Jiang Xinzhi, then Miss Jiang is his sister. I have heard of Zhao Xinzhi's sister. When I asked him why he was not afraid of death in the war, he said that he had to make military achievements and get promoted before he could have the status to protect his sister."
