Xiao Chen couldn't help but rolled his eyes. He was serious just now, but now he's pretending to be crazy?
However, he continued to ask patiently: "You were the one who helped me get clean before, right?"
The old eunuch's face froze. He didn't expect Xiao Chen to be so straightforward. Could it be that he couldn't see that he was deliberately trying to deal with him?
His eyes were so intense that the old eunuch couldn't stop looking at him, and finally put away his careless look.
Sighing lightly, he did not answer the question directly. Instead, he looked at Xiao Chen with some consideration and asked: "The emperor of the current dynasty was stupid and selfish, and was incomparable to the previous dynasty. Regarding such a current situation, What are you thinking?"
When asked this question, the old eunuch looked attentive and stared at Xiao Chen intently, wishing he could directly peek into his innermost thoughts.
It's a pity that he doesn't have the ability to read minds, so he can only turn that urgency into expectation.
Xiao Chen's answer also depends on his attitude towards him.
Xiao Chen was slightly stunned, not expecting his topic to change so abruptly.
But from those sharp eyes, Xiao Chen realized that the old eunuch did not deliberately change the subject because he wanted to avoid his own question.
He really wanted to know his answer to that question.
Although I don't know what the other party's purpose is, if I go by my understanding of him, the old eunuch will not harm him.
After thinking for a moment, he deliberately followed the old eunuch's words and said: "Now that the imperial court is divided, the emperor is self-willed and focuses on power and interests while ignoring people's livelihood. I am not optimistic about it."
"As for what I can do, that depends on what I am capable of."
Xiao Chen's answer was very cryptic, but he still remained cautious.
The moment he finished speaking, the old eunuch suddenly showed a smile and said, "Okay, I saw you right. Your heart is like a mirror, and you also know the right and wrong."
After being overjoyed, he suddenly stood up, knelt directly in front of Xiao Chen, and kowtowed to him.
Xiao Chen was a little surprised, what are you doing?
The old eunuch's voice was a little hoarse, but full of tragic enthusiasm: "Jin Chengzhong, the last imperial guard commander of the previous dynasty, pays homage to His Highness!"
Xiao Chen's thoughts were established, and he was no longer overly cautious in front of him and in this secret room.
This self-introduction, filled with emotion, is really shocking.
Xiao Chen's pupils trembled slightly. No wonder he felt that this old eunuch always had a unique temperament.
He was actually the commander of the imperial guards of the former dynasty!
"No, what did you call me just now?"
"Your Highness?!"
It is understandable that he calls himself "Chen", but "Your Highness" is the honorific title used by outsiders for people in the royal family.
Even if he is not a real eunuch, he cannot afford such a lofty title.
In Xiao Chen's extremely shocked look, Jin Chengzhong slowly raised his head, his trembling eyes seemed to sparkle with tears.
"Wei Chen originally wanted to slowly assist His Highness, but now that we have reached the stage of meeting each other, there is nothing to hide."
"Your true identity is the crown prince of the former dynasty. When the country was destroyed, it was the young minister who fled with you."
"The reason why I don't dare to meet you is to avoid being discovered and causing death."
This information was so shocking that Xiao Chen couldn't help but take a breath.
This shit is even more ridiculous than the plots in the story books!
The eunuch transformed into a prince. Such a dramatic and exciting scene is really unimaginable!
I know that the fate of a time traveler is not as miserable as that of a eunuch!
After a burst of ecstasy, Xiao Chen suddenly fixed his eyes on Jin Chengzhong and asked urgently: "Having been dormant for so many years, you must have made many arrangements in secret."
"The reason why I confess my identity is because secretly there are 100,000 cavalry and 800,000 generals waiting for me to take over when I return!"
Xiao Chen was gearing up and seemed a little impatient.
The peasants turned around and sang, and they actually had a chance to become emperor.
Although he is not from this era, since he is in this body and his soul resonates with his memory, Xiao Chen still hopes to help him regain the power of a great country.
Hearing these words, Jin Chengzhong felt a little embarrassed and lowered his head: "Your Highness, none of what you said is true..."
"I have no choice but to tell you this. Who asked you to keep investigating? You can't even hide."
When Xiao Chen and the others went to Fu Sushi before, Jin Chengzhong was actually there, but he hid because he was afraid of getting into trouble when they met.
But Xiao Chen refused to give up and even sent people to Fu Sushi to catch him.
Knowing that he couldn't escape, he simply obeyed calmly.
Xiao Chen touched his nose slightly awkwardly, "It's okay, then tell me what do we have now?"
Jin Chengzhong responded honestly: "With you and me, with a king and ministers, and with the royal bloodline still there, then the great country will not perish!"
As he spoke, he became more and more energetic and excited: "Wei Chen has been secretly observing you these years. I believe that with His Highness's strategic wisdom, I will be able to bring Wei Chen back to the old country!"
Xiao Chen's mouth twitched: "Huh?"
Nothing, just the two of them? Aiming to restore the country?
Isn’t it a bit too fantasy...
Although Jin Cheng was fond of him, Xiao Chen was not the kind of person who would get carried away after hearing a few good words, and he also knew that there was a certain comfort in what he said.
The body that was originally upright slumped slightly.
I thought that after learning about my life experience, I would lead an army to conquer an enemy country and achieve a grand plan.
Unexpectedly, all the food eaten were the big cakes painted by Jin Chengzhong.
He sighed softly: "Well, it doesn't matter, how can it be so easy to regain the glory of the past? Just take it one step at a time..."
He stepped forward and helped Jin Chengzhong up, "Now that I know my identity, if the news leaks out, I'm afraid it will be very dangerous for you to stay in the air."
"While it's dark, I'll ask Yun Zhonghe to take you out of the palace later, so that you can do more planning."
Jin Chengzhong quickly said in panic: "Absolutely not, I have to go back to Fu Sushi."
"Why, then Chen Jin has probably forgotten you a long time ago, so why would he care more about you?"
General Jin Chengzhong was also quite helpless: "Maybe he doesn't care, but Chen is not the only one at Fu Sushi."
"If you think about a living person disappearing out of thin air at night, without seeing anyone alive or dead, there will definitely be some rumors."
"Although Chen Jin has ignored me, what if he investigates this matter on a whim?"
"Actually, it doesn't matter where I am, even if I have a knife held to my neck, as long as I can ensure the safety of His Highness, everything is worth it."
Seeing how thoughtful he was, Xiao Chen could only compromise.
He left the secret room with him and asked Yun Zhonghe to send the person back.
