After taking a deep breath, Zhao Hao pretended to sigh.
"Well, there's nothing I can do. When I was young, I lived in my grandpa's house for a few years."
"I have a cousin named Qin Ming. He is a playboy who only knows how to carry bird cages."
"As for me, I worked hard and never complained, helping my grandfather work on the fields he opened every day."
"It will come naturally over time."
"I am just too simple!"
"Because of this personality, I am often deceived by others. You don't even know that I was deceived again in the past two days."
"I had already agreed to cooperate with a big shot, but he turned around and sold me out."
“What a sin!”
The old man laughed for a while and then took another puff of his cigarette.
"Little guy, you can definitely consider changing someone to work with."
“That’s how business works.”
"If the cooperation is good, then continue. If the cooperation is not good, then change the partner."
"How can I be successful if I always suffer losses?"
"Is that right?"
When Zhao Hao heard this, he slapped his thigh hard.
"Old sir, you are absolutely right. That's exactly what I think."
“So I also want to find another new partner.”
The old man smiled and said, "Cooperation, partner, yes, partner is a good word."
"When two or more parties cooperate, they should be like partners, be honest with each other, and take care of each other's interests."
"Otherwise, if each party only considers itself, how can the cooperation last long?"
Zhao Hao clapped his hands and said, "What the old gentleman said makes sense, so this time when choosing a new partner, I won't look at anything else."
"It depends on the other person's character."
The old man nodded and said, "I think you are a good kid. Do you need me to introduce you to a partner who can cooperate with you?"
Zhao Hao immediately smiled and said, "That's great, I couldn't ask for more."
The old man knocked his pipe against the wall, stood up and said, "Okay, then you come with me."
As he spoke, the old man walked towards a side room, and Zhao Hao followed him.
After entering the house, the old man asked Zhao Hao to sit and wait for a while, while he went inside.
As soon as Zhao Hao sat down, a little maid came over and offered him a cup of fragrant tea.
After thanking him, Zhao Hao picked up the teacup and took a sip.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, a thin old man with a solemn demeanor and not very tall walked out.
It was this old man who looked like a farmer in the vegetable garden before.
However, the old man now changed into a black sleeved robe and tidied up his attire.
At this moment, he seemed like a completely different person.
He transformed from an ordinary farmer into a noble prince. Although he was short, his temperament was as deep as the ocean.
There seemed to be countless stars hidden in a pair of deep eyes.
Seeing this, Zhao Hao quickly stood up, took two steps forward and bowed.
"Zhao Hao, the Great and Unparalleled Marquis, pays homage to King Xiaoyao!"
When the other party was a farmer, Zhao Hao was more casual. Now that the other party is the King Xiaoyao, he takes him seriously and treats him with full courtesy.
Zhao Hao's performance also made King Xiaoyao smile.
"Lord Zhao, I invite you to my house today. I want to discuss cooperation with you."
Zhao Hao hurriedly said, "Your Highness, Zhao Hao has admired you for a long time and wanted to come visit you, but he was afraid that it would be too abrupt, so he never dared."
"It is Zhao Hao's honor to be summoned by the prince today!"
After a pause, Zhao Hao continued, "Since the prince is speaking quickly, Zhao Hao will get straight to the point."
King Xiaoyao nodded and motioned Zhao Hao to sit down and talk.
Zhao Hao said: "My Lord, I cooperated with Princess Yu Chengzhang before so that I could make a good alliance with the Kingdom of Shu."
"But, the King Ying of Wu promised the Princess a great favor, a favor that she could not refuse."
"The prince must be aware of this, otherwise he would not have summoned me."
"Now, Da Gan is in a very passive position on the battlefield."
"Once Nanchu and Wu break through Jianning City, Dagan will be left with nowhere to defend and will instantly fall into chaos."
"Defeat is imminent."
"If Dagan is really defeated, it will definitely be a disaster for Shu Kingdom..."
Having said this, King Xiaoyao suddenly sneered, raised his hand to interrupt, and did not let Zhao Hao continue speaking.
"Lord Zhao, this is really alarmist."
"If you are defeated, my Shu Kingdom will immediately send troops to seize the interests that belong to my Shu Kingdom on the battlefield."
"As for Yucheng..."
"With this king here, she can't turn the tables."
Zhao Hao smiled softly and said, "Prince, why do you have to say that? You and I both know it very well."
"If the Marquis is really confident that he can stabilize Shu under the pressure of the troops of Southern Chu and Wu, then why am I here?"
"Your Majesty, even if it is as you said, that Southern Chu and Wu did not really put pressure on Shu, your stabilizing force really did not cause any trouble for Princess Yucheng."
"But, Your Majesty, you might as well think about it again. If it weren't for my great efforts, Southern Chu and Wu would be in the south and southwest."
"Only Shu and Yue are closest to the grassland."
"And I believe Your Majesty is well aware of the strength of the Savage Cavalry."
"Your Majesty, if Da Gan is gone, who will resist the barbaric cavalry?"
