"Sit down!" Wu Qing shouted loudly, and immediately calmed Wu Chen. He looked at Wu Qing with some timidity, stuttered a few words, and sat down again with his head down. But he was still very annoyed. Zhou, like him, is one of the few people Chen Sheng trusts more. It is true that he is a member of the Wei people, but now he is Chen Sheng's subordinate. He is one of the important generals sent out to favor the land this time. How could he still have this view? To put it seriously, this is a betrayal of Chen Sheng. Moreover, since his father already knows it, it is obvious that Zhou's view has not been concealed. He may have expressed this tendency in front of many people.

The more Wu Chen thought about it, the more frightened he became. The wine he had just drunk turned into cold sweats. He felt like he was sitting on pins and needles and restless.

"Do you want to remind Chen Sheng?" Wu Qing looked at him and sneered.

Wu Chen glanced at him without saying a word, but his expression told Wu Qing that he was considering this issue.

"Do you think it's Zhou? Is it alone?" Wu Qing shouted angrily: "If you go and talk, Chen Sheng will believe you?"

Wu Chen still didn't say anything. He gritted his teeth, the sweat beads on his forehead were like beans, the blue veins beside his temples were exposed, and his breathing was heavy, and he was obviously in a fierce ideological struggle. He thought for a long time, but finally let go of his teeth and hung his head weakly. His father was right, even if he told Chen Sheng, it would not work, and it might be counterproductive.

"Aweng, then what do you think should I do?" Wu Chen's voice was very weak and he had no confidence.

"Chen Sheng wants to be king, we support it with all our strength. Even if we give up all our property, we will do whatever we can." Wu Qing saw that his son's thoughts had finally changed, so he breathed a sigh of relief. He stood up and turned around the house twice. His slender figure was long and long by the light. His voice was not high, but he was very firm and spoke very smoothly, and he seemed to have thoughtful thoughts. "You go to Zhaodi, on the one hand, you must recruit famous scholars and strengthen your strength. On the other hand, you cannot be led by these famous scholars. Once you find such famous scholars who have a decent master, you must be careful. Even if you don't kill him, you must control their rights and avoid raising tigers."

"Yes." Wu Chen responded and clenched his fists tightly.

"If you take Zhao Di, you will have the strength to survive. Of course, it is best if Chen Sheng succeeds. If Chen Sheng fails, you will not be defeated." Wu Qing's voice was cold and there was no emotion at all. He raised his hand to stop Wu Chen who wanted to speak: "Don't consider your family. As long as you succeed, even if the Wu family succeeds, it is worth it even if the others die."

"Aweng--" Wu Chen's heart trembled.

"A real man cannot be hesitant when doing things. If he is determined, he will suffer the chaos." Wu Qing said resolutely: "As long as you can become a prince and no longer be a lowly businessman, my family of Wu will die as much as possible." He paused and sneered, "Besides, the people of my Wu family are not that easy to kill. Even if the father and son of the Communist Party do not agree to this marriage, I will have other ways to find someone who can speak for me. It is not that easy for Chen Sheng to kill me."

"Oh--" Wu Chen sighed: "What's wrong with Awei? I think he seems to be pretending to be drunk today. He hasn't drunk much yet, so why did he lie down?"

"This person is hard to figure it out." Wu Qing twisted his beard and couldn't figure it out: "What he did seems to be something that a farmer has been able to do since he was a child. I asked Gongao that he had grown up and had been farming at home. He had never traveled far away, nor had he ever been to any master. His martial arts and his knowledge seemed to appear overnight, which was really weird. Not to mention anything else, this method of making wine is to be a master who has been a wine for many years. He never thought that how could a young man who hadn't even drunk much wine know such a clever way?"

"Aweng, what do you mean?" Wu Chen thought about it carefully for a while and felt strange. Although he was not very familiar with Gong Ao and his son, he couldn't figure out where Gong Wei learned his skills. Is it really like a natural genius?

After hearing Wu Chen's guess, Wu Qing snorted from his nose: "I don't know if he is a natural genius, but I just found it incredible. I originally thought that there was a hermit behind him to guide him, but there was no evidence yet. I had a deep conversation with him once, and I always felt that his thoughts were somewhat similar to those of the Mo family's disciples." Wu Qing shook his head and stopped discussing this issue. Then the original topic said: "No matter what, this person is a talent worthy of winning. It is definitely beneficial for my Wu family to interact with him more."

Wu Chen smiled. Wu Qing's words were very straightforward, which was in line with his businessmen's habit of calculating interests. Gongwei's words brought a way to make money to the Wu family, and no one would give up easily. It seems that Wu Qing's interactions with Gongwei not only valued that Gongwei held the power of Chen County's security, but also the wonderful ideas in his mind that could bring a lot of wealth.

Wu Piao's marriage was just a rope that he wanted to tie up Gong Wei. Wu Chen couldn't help but sigh when he thought of Wu Piao, who was full of heart on Gong Wei. Even if Wu Piao brought more wealth to the Wu family and his ability, he was just a pawn in his father's eyes. When another greater source of wealth appeared, his father would abandon her without hesitation.

"What do you think of that Gong Qiao?" Wu Qing's eyes suddenly lit up and he said to the Wu Chen who was tracing his mind.

The military minister was stunned.

Gong Ao drank sober tea, looked at the contemplative Gongwei with a smile, and said with a joke: "If you really don't like the lady of the Wu family, it's fine. Why bother pretending to be drunk? It's not embarrassing to sleep there in front of so many people."

Gongwei waved his hand indifferently and interrupted Gong Ao's words. He pretended to be drunk and did not want to face the offensive of the father and daughter of the Wu family. But what he was thinking about now was not this.

Wu Chen was going to Zhao State. He searched for memories of his previous life for a long time, but he couldn't remember Wu Chen. If it were someone else, he might not have planned to think too much. Anyway, his memory of this history was really limited. But Wu Chen was different. This difference was not about how he was, but about where he went. In Zhao State, there was a turning point in this history, that was, Xiang Yu burned his boats and defeated the main force of the Qin army under Julu City. In his impression, the king of Zhao State at that time should be a descendant of Zhao State. Although he couldn't remember the name, it is certain that this person was definitely not a Wu Chen. In other words, Wu Chen had disappeared before the Battle of Julu. As for whether he died in battle when he was favoring Zhao, or some other reasons, he didn't know, anyway, he was dead.

Could it be that Zhang Er and Chen Yu and the other two were killed? Gong Wei suddenly felt something was possible. He sat up and looked at Gong Ao straight: "Ah Weng..." He was about to speak, but he found that Gong Ao had fallen aside and fell asleep. A trace of saliva flowed out from the corner of his mouth, shaking out the old man.

No, I will find an opportunity to remind Achen tomorrow, let him be careful of Zhang Er and Chen Yu, the two famous scholars. Although he is not interested in being his brother-in-law, it is necessary to remind him when he is a friend, but he is afraid that he may not believe it. Gongwei lay down again, rubbed his somewhat swollen temple, sighed with sorrow, and closed his eyes.

―――

Chen County soon became lively. After formally seeking opinions from the famous scholars and heroes gathered in Chen County, Chen Sheng decided to be king. General Zhou Wen personally selected a lucky day, and Cai Ci, the king of Shangzhu Kingdom, personally presided over the relevant etiquette. Chen Sheng ascended the throne and became the king. The country was named Zhang Chu, which means Zhang Dachu, and Chen County was the capital and the county magistrate's office as the temporary palace. Immediately afterwards, the great honorary officials were awarded. Gongwei and his son were also among the rewards. Originally, Chen Sheng meant to grant Gongwei the Weiwei and Gongao the general, but Gongwei asked Chen Sheng to give merits to Gongao. Chen Sheng agreed to Gongao's request, and appointed Gongao as the Zhu Kingdom, Gongao as the general, and the father and son were responsible for the safety of Chen County together.

After the ceremony of the ascension, the whole city was in full swing for three days, and the people were celebrating with the people, and they couldn't help drinking. Three days later, the generals who were ordered to worship the soldiers, Chiyou, set off for the expedition.

Gongwei was ordered by Chen Sheng to send Wuchen to the outside of the city. He took Wuchen's hand and deliberately avoided the left and right lieutenant Zhang Er and Chen Yu, and told Wuchen his concerns in a obscure way. He couldn't say it too directly, so he could only say that he should be careful, especially to be careful about some famous scholars. Wuchen certainly didn't know Gongwei's actual concerns. He thought Gongwei was just caring about him and didn't take it to heart. He smiled, patted Gongwei's shoulder, and said meaningfully: "A Wei, I am leading the army outside. My father is old at home, so I'll ask you for everything."

Gongwei smiled and responded vaguely, and then said a few words to the guard Zhao Sao. Zhao Sao is also from Guangling, and is not too far from Gongwei's family, so he is considered a fellow villager. His family is not from a civilian family. His cousin Zhao Ping once served as the Marquis of Dongling. The Zhao family is well-known in Guangling. He would not take civilians like Gong's family seriously. However, in the rebel army, Gongwei and his son are also a force that cannot be ignored. Zhao Sao naturally put down his airs, compete with Gongwei and intervene with peers.
