"Did he really say that? And he even called me His Majesty?" A hint of joy appeared on King Wu's face.
A guard was standing in front of him, honestly repeating the conversation that took place in Fang Zheng's room.
"He did say that. Lord Fang also said that he had decided to go to sea with His Majesty, and warned Steward Chen to behave himself around His Majesty. In the end, he slapped Steward Chen twice, and the two of them parted unhappily."
King Wu began to pace back and forth with a smile on his face.
Very good, the gift has worked. It seems Fang Zhengyi has already faced the reality in his heart and is just being stubborn now.
"What happened after Chen Jian left? What was Fang Zhengyi doing?"
"Master Fang asked for a lantern and went to the deck. Someone accompanied him."
King Wu nodded and said, "Okay, follow me to the deck."
on deck.
Fang Zhengyi stood near the bow, leaning on the railing with one hand and holding a lamp in the other, the light illuminating his face.
If nothing unexpected happens, our people should be hiding in the woods not far away.
You have to let them see you before you can plan your actions.
After standing at the bow for a while, Fang Zhengyi continued to adjust his position and showed his face in another place.
The guards following behind him were confused.
I just thought Fang Zheng was curious and just looked around, so I didn't ask any more questions.
After wandering for a while, Fang Zheng turned around to look when he heard footsteps.
He saw the King of Wu approaching him with two guards holding lanterns.
When they met, he said, "Fang Qing, you are in a good mood. Didn't you say you were going to take a rest?"
Seeing his smiling face, Fang Zheng thought to himself
You came just in time! Now is a good time to ease the relationship and let the King of Wu relax his vigilance.
Fang Zheng bowed, his hands covering his chest intentionally or unintentionally, and said with a complicated expression: "Your Majesty..."
minister? His Majesty?
King Wu's eyes flashed with surprise, and he asked with a hint of suspicion: "Oh? You figured it out so quickly?"
Fang Zhengyi smiled bitterly, took out his pocket watch from his bosom, and whispered, "Does this minister have any other options?"
"Your Majesty treats me like a great man, how can I be so arrogant?"
"Your Majesty just had a conversation with me. After thinking about it again and again, I feel that Your Majesty is a truly talented and wise leader! No one can match your vision. Now that I have met a wise leader, I am overjoyed!"
Although Fang Zhengyi's statement makes sense, the speed of change is obviously too fast.
The King of Wu was very clear-headed, but he was still very happy. He laughed loudly twice facing the sea and said with great pride: "Fang Qing said it well!"
"People in this world are ignorant and short-sighted, even my brother is no better than me! Only by following me can you realize your ambitions and achieve something!"
"How high is the sky in this world, how long is the road, I will personally take you to see it!"
Hearing the King of Wu's bold words, Fang Zheng just wanted to laugh, and even felt that it was a bit absurd, but he couldn't help feeling a little emotional in his heart.
This is the first time someone has said this to me in all these years.
An indigenous person said that he would take him, an advanced youth of the 21st century, outside to see how high the sky is and how long the road is.
There are many smart people in this world, and he occasionally hears some "crazy people" who failed the exam make shocking remarks.
Even some modern-sounding statements like gender equality and overthrowing imperial power.
In some ways, there may not be much difference between ancient people and modern people. There is nothing new under the sun.
After eating and drinking, even ordinary people would look up at the stars and have all kinds of wonderful ideas about the future and themselves.
However, when it comes to specific knowledge, there is an insurmountable gap!
Not to mention one King of Wu, even ten thousand Kings of Wu combined would hardly help Fang Zheng gain new insights.
The gap of hundreds or thousands of years cannot be made up by intelligence and hard work.
Fang Zheng smiled, picked up the pocket watch and said, "Your Majesty is not only ambitious, but also very considerate and caring. Seeing that I like this pocket watch, you even specially sent it to me. I am really touched, but also a little ashamed..."
\"Shame? Why should I feel ashamed?" King Wu asked curiously.
Fang Zhengyi's tone began to deepen: "Your Majesty, to be honest, I just deceived Your Majesty."
King Wu frowned and said, "You can talk as you please!"
"I told Your Majesty before that the goblins did not gain anything from Taoyuan County except painting skills, but that is not the case."
"That thing of infinite merit is also inextricably linked to goblins."
Immeasurable merits?
The King of Wu's eyes flashed: "Tell me quickly!"
Fang Zhengyi cleared his throat, sorted out his thoughts and said slowly: "The goblin comes from a small country in the west called Gini. The formula of Infinite Merit was also stolen from Gini. There is a kind of coal mine in this country called titanium coal. The most important material in Infinite Merit is this titanium coal, and Taoyuan County happens to have this kind of mine!"
"Gini...titanium coal?" King Wu murmured, "Where exactly is this country of Gini? Do you know!?"
"Well, I don't know. We have a language barrier with the goblins. I just know that there are frequent kun infestations along the coast of Gini Country, and that its specialty is lychees... Since it produces a lot of lychees, I guess Gini Country must be quite famous overseas."
"There's a Kun in the sea? Is there really a Kun in this world?" King Wu frowned, feeling something was wrong. Isn't that a legendary creature?
"It's true! But it's not as huge as the legend says. It's only about ten feet long, and it can spray water from its back. I've never been to the sea, so I don't know if it's true or not... This is what the goblin told me."
Upon hearing the details, the King of Wu's brows relaxed immediately: "I know this! The fleet returning from overseas once told me that they saw a fish of extremely large size on the sea, which could spray water from its back... I didn't quite believe it, but I didn't expect it to be true! Those foreigners actually mistook the strange fish for a Kun!"
