King Wu was still nagging, seemingly immersed in his own negative emotions and unable to extricate himself.
Fang Zheng can understand it.
No matter how powerful we are, we are still human beings, and everyone is under too much pressure sometimes.
Especially for people like King Wu who are doing great things, the pressure is even greater. If they have an outlet, they will pour out like floods coming out of the sluice.
It's just that Fang Zheng didn't care when he heard his random thoughts, and was even a little impatient.
King Wu spoke beautifully.
really! He has broad vision and ambition, but so what?
He held the sweet potatoes in his hands, allowing Liu Xun to expand the food crisis to create opportunities for himself, and colluded with the Lu family.
Throughout the process, the bottom layer is treated like pigs, dogs, and chess pieces.
Fang Zhengyi looked down upon such people.
He never sympathizes with those grand narratives, and is even extremely wary of them.
In his previous life, he was an ordinary working dog; in this life, he is a county magistrate in a poor ravine.
Even though he is now famous, his background cannot be washed away.
Behind every magnificent period of history, every emperor and general who achieved great achievements is the pile of corpses and seas of blood of countless ordinary people.
Perhaps in his previous life, when he was looking at history, he had empathy with the princes and generals in history.
But being in the midst of history, he could see the tragic current situation all too clearly.
After hearing enough of King Wu's nonsense, Fang Zheng interrupted and said, "Your Majesty, I still don't know something. What do you want to do by arresting me?"
King Wu stopped talking and looked slightly unhappy.
Finally, I had the opportunity to express my true feelings, but the person in front of me didn't appreciate it. He suppressed his displeasure and said, "What else can I do?"
"I have said so much, don't you understand? Of course I want to take you to sea with me."
"Your Majesty, my qualifications are mediocre to say the least. There may be something worthy of your appreciation, but there seems to be no need to go to such great lengths, right?" Fang Zhengyi was puzzled.
"Yes, it is very necessary! Since everything has been said today, I will tell you the truth."
"I want your Taoyuan County to have great merits! Although I don't know what this thing is, I sent people to Jianjiang to explore the place where this thing is used. Its power of breaking mountains and cracking rocks really surprised me. This time This thing must be a weapon of war! When we go overseas, we will be short of manpower for a while, and we can expand our territory with this thing!" King Wu looked directly at Fang Zhengyi and observed his expression.
Fang Zheng wanted to say no, but after thinking about it carefully, he was afraid of losing his life if he said so.
He had no choice but to change his words: "Then since you have caught me, why hasn't the prince set off yet? Are you waiting for someone?"
"Yes, I still have a team of people who have gone to Taoyuan County to obtain countless merits for me. The king's people should be back in a few days."
Oh shit! Dare to touch my people!
Fang Zheng suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart.
Taoyuan County is your foundation, your home. Anyone who dares to touch it will become an enemy of yourself!
Even if he was confident that King Wu's men would not be able to break into Taoyuan County, it would not work if he had an idea, let alone if he took action!
"My lord, have you ever thought that if there is such a magical weapon in Taoyuan County, your troops will have no chance of entering the county, and they will risk their lives if they do."
"Yes, that's why I want to catch you."
"..."
King Wu adjusted his robe sleeves and sat back across from Fang Zhengyi: "You have no other choice."
"A county magistrate actually led the people in the county to beg for food. Others thought it was ridiculous! Talents like you have never been discovered. This is because the emperor has no knowledge of people!"
"It will be different if you follow me. I appreciate your talents and treat you as a noble man. What else do you feel dissatisfied about?"
Fangzheng's face suddenly turned rosy.
Damn it, this kind of dark history has been dug up? You didn’t know the King of Wu at that time, this peeping tom!
But then I thought about it, that guy Huang Shengrong had done things for King Wu before, so it was normal for him to know this.
However, Fang Zhengyi still felt quite shameless. After all, he usually didn't want to mention the dark history of being a beggar.
Fang Zheng retorted harshly: "My lord, please stop talking nonsense!"
Just as King Wu was about to reply, Manager Chen opened the door and walked in. He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the banquet has been prepared."
"Please, you must be hungry after such a long time. Let's eat and chat." Wu Wang said
After what he said, Fang Zhengyi did feel a little hungry.
So he followed King Wu to a different room. There were no other guards in the room, only Manager Chen was by his side. There was a big table in the center, which was filled with all kinds of beautiful ladies.
As soon as Fang Zheng sat down, he looked around and said, "My lord, aren't you afraid that I will kidnap you and run away from here?"
King Wu looked at Manager Chen beside him, pointed his finger and said, "Do you know who he is?"
"You know, isn't he Manager Chen from the palace? We have met before."
"Oh, he is in charge of the palace now, but he was not before."
"His name is Chen Jian. He was originally the protective eunuch of Emperor Qian. You can try to hold me hostage and see who is faster with your hands or his sword."
"Did he kill Emperor Qian?"
"Yes, but the Emperor of Qian State died after taking the Golden Pill. It seems that people's brains are indeed not very good when they are old." King Wu smiled disdainfully.
I also have a eunuch like this, but why doesn’t he know martial arts?
Isn’t Yibai’s enemy found now? Once he does it, he will have peace of mind!
But now he couldn't protect himself. The messy thoughts just flashed through Fang Zhengyi's mind. Then he looked at Chen Jian and sneered: "A seller seeks glory and is despicable! My lord, this person has a traitor and cannot be kept."
Chen Jian's originally smiling face suddenly darkened, and he stared at Fang Zhengyi with a sinister look.
Little bastard! As soon as they met, they started to sow discord?
The King of Wu ignored Fang Zhengyi and said to himself: "No, you and I have been honest with each other. I am no longer the King of Wu in Dajing. You should call me Your Majesty."
"Impossible! Even the dogs in the capital know that I, Fang Zhengyi, am a loyal minister and call you your majesty. Will I still be a human being in the future?" Fang Zhengyi replied without hesitation.
You absolutely can’t admit it now!
I'm still waiting for someone to rescue me. I'm going to go overseas with you because my brain is damaged!
I have a big family waiting for me to raise!
And the broken ships of these days are likely to die in the middle of strong winds and waves!
Moreover, there is no way to kneel down when negotiating. Isn’t that lowering one’s status?
Seeing that Fang Zhengyi showed no respect at all, the King of Wu said with a gloomy face: "Loyal minister? Flattery, privately build city walls, exceed the regulations of reconstruction, hijack merchants, and make your own weapons. Which of the things you do is what a loyal minister should do? I have been doing this for several years. I thought you were going to rebel!"
"I am patriotic without guilt!" Fang Zhengyi shouted.
As soon as these words came out, King Wu was obviously amused and sarcastically said: "Not guilty? Even the most despicable person can be patriotic. If a dog could talk, would it be patriotic if you gave it a bone?"
"I have given you enough face. You have no right to choose. Don't be ignorant of good and evil. If my people get immeasurable merit from Taoyuan County, it's still two questions whether you can save your life! You have ruined my big things several times. , do you think I really don’t want to kill you?”
........
Inside the prison of Haiyuan City.
"Is it recorded?"
"It's recorded."
Zhao Lie nodded and looked at the Lu family who had finished recording the confession: "Well, the silver foil has been used up. There is no need to record any more. Let's lock him up."
The brother who was recording breathed a sigh of relief and flicked his wrist: "Oh... it's over now. This crap is troublesome! The master has many demands, and even if he stutters, he has to record it again."
After saying that, he stood up and raised his hand to give the Lu family a big mouth: "Let you fucking stutter!"
Although the gramophone was a novel thing, everyone obviously got tired of it after playing it for a few times, let alone playing it all day long.
Zhao Lie silently packed up the gramophone, glanced at the Lu family members who were crying silently, and said, "Now you know how to cry? What were you thinking about when you were bullying others?"
But at this moment, a person suddenly came in from outside the cell door and ran to Zhao Lie, panting and saying: "Captain! Something happened... I went to deliver something to the master and couldn't find anyone else everywhere. Teacher Zhou was not there either. I saw someone on the ground. Our people left a mark all the way out of the city gate, and the city gate guards said they saw someone riding a horse and carrying people away from the city in the morning!"
"I just sent a signal from the city. All our people are here, but we are missing Master and Coach Zhou!"
Zhao Lie's heart trembled, and the hairs all over his body stood on end: "How come no one is stopping the city gate guards! Are you sure?"
"You can't be wrong! Those two drunkards at the city gate didn't do anything when they knew we took over Haiyuan City. They just chatted there all day long!"
"Horse...right now!! Let the brothers bring all the equipment and leave the city immediately to chase!!"
