The King of Wu was still muttering, and it seemed that he was immersed in his own negative emotions and unable to extricate himself.
Fang Zheng could understand it.
No matter how capable we are, we are still human beings, and everyone has times when they feel too much pressure.
Especially for someone like the King of Wu who is doing something huge, the pressure is even greater. Once he has an outlet to vent, all his anger will pour out like a flood.
However, Fang Zheng didn't care at all when he heard his mumbling, and even showed disdain.
The King of Wu spoke beautifully.
Indeed! He has broad horizons and great ambitions, but so what?
In the final analysis, he is just a selfish person!
He had sweet potatoes but kept them in his hands, allowing Liu Xun to expand the famine to create opportunities for himself, and colluding with the Lu family.
All of these things are just for personal selfishness!
Fang Zhengyi looked down on such people.
He never empathizes with those grand narratives and is even extremely wary of them.
In the previous life, he was an ordinary worker, and in this life, he is a small county magistrate (begging for food).
Even though he has made it big now, his background can never be washed away.
Behind every magnificent period of history and every emperor or general who has achieved great things are the mountains of corpses and seas of blood of countless ordinary people.
Perhaps in his previous life, when he was reading history, he had empathized with the kings, princes, generals and ministers in history.
But being in the midst of history, he can see the tragic current situation all too clearly.
Having heard enough of King Wu's nonsense, Fang Zheng interrupted him and said, "Your Majesty, there is one thing I don't understand. What do you want to do by arresting me?"
The King of Wu stopped telling the story with a slightly displeased expression.
I finally got a chance to speak my mind, but the person in front of me didn't appreciate it. I suppressed my displeasure and said, "What else can I do?"
"I have said so much, don't you understand? Of course I want to take you out to sea with me."
"Your Highness, to be frank, I am just an average person. Maybe there are some things about me that are worthy of your appreciation, but there seems to be no need to go to so much trouble, right?" Fang Zhengyi was puzzled.
"Yes, it is necessary! Now that we have talked it out today, I will tell you the truth."
"I want your Taoyuan County to have great merit! Although I don't know what this thing is, I sent people to Jianjiang to investigate the places where it is used. Its power to split mountains and rocks really surprised me. This thing must be a weapon of war! When we go overseas, we will definitely be short of manpower for a while, and with this thing we can expand our territory!" King Wu looked directly at Fang Zhengyi, observing his expression.
Fang Zheng wanted to say no, but after thinking carefully, he was afraid of losing his life if he said that.
I had no choice but to change the topic and say, "Since you have already caught me, why hasn't the prince set off yet? Is he waiting for someone?"
"Yes, I have another group of people who have gone to Taoyuan County to get great merits for me. They should be back in a few days."
Damn it! How dare you touch my people!
Fang Zhengyi suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart.
Taoyuan County is my foundation and my home. Anyone who dares to touch it will become my enemy!
Even if he was confident that King Wu's men could not break into Taoyuan County, it would be useless to have the idea, let alone he took action!
"Your Highness, have you ever thought that there is such a magical weapon in Taoyuan County? Your people have no chance of entering the county. If they go, they will die."
"Yeah, that's why I have to catch you."
"......"
King Wu straightened his robe sleeves and sat back down opposite Fang Zhengyi: "You have no other choice."
"As a county magistrate, you actually took the people of the county out to beg for food. Everyone else would think it's ridiculous! Talents like you have never been discovered. This is because my brother doesn't know how to judge people!"
"It's different if you follow me. I appreciate your talent and treat you as a national talent. What else do you have to complain about?"
Fang Zheng's face suddenly turned red.
Holy shit, this dark history has been dug up? I guess the King of Wu didn’t know him at that time, what a peeping Tom!
But on second thought, Huang Shengrong had done things for King Wu before, so it was normal for him to know about this matter.
However, Fang Zhengyi still felt quite ashamed. After all, he generally did not want to mention his dark history as a beggar.
Fang Zheng retorted stubbornly: "Your Majesty, don't talk nonsense!"
Just as the King of Wu was about to reply, Steward Chen opened the door and walked in, bowing and saying, "Your Majesty, the banquet is ready."
"Please come in. You must be hungry after such a long time. Let's eat and talk at the same time." King Wu said
After he said that, Fang Zhengyi indeed felt a little hungry.
So he followed the King of Wu to another room. There were no other guards in the room except Steward Chen. There was a big table in the middle, which was filled with various beauties.
Fang Zheng looked around after he sat down 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 and pointed, "Do you know who he is?"
"I know. Isn't he the steward Chen from the palace? We have met before."
"Oh, he is now the steward of the palace, but he was not before."
"His name is Chen Jian. He was originally the bodyguard eunuch of the Emperor of Gan Kingdom. You can try to hold me hostage and see whether your hands are faster or his sword is faster."
"Did he kill the Emperor of Gan Kingdom?"
"That's right, but the emperor of Ganguly died after taking an elixir. It seems that people's brains don't work very well when they get old." King Wu smiled disdainfully.
I also have a eunuch like this, but why doesn’t he know martial arts?
Yibai's enemy has been found! I can save my worries by dealing with him!
But now he was in danger, and all sorts of messy thoughts flashed through Fang Zhengyi's mind. He then looked at Chen Jian and sneered, "Selling out for fame, despicable! Your Majesty, this man has a rebellious nature, and cannot be kept."
