Chapter 72 Returning Home
“…” Zhou Yanwei was silent.
Zhou Yanwei found it difficult to respond to Lin Eryou's words.
Firstly, he didn't know the relationship between the brothers in Ziyoushan, so it would be bad to make rash comments.
Secondly, Zhang Zhizhou was obviously also looking for a candidate for the Master, so Lin Eryou's words might be testing his attitude and thoughts.
If Zhang Zhizhou said that he could find this unique monarch, it would seem a bit timid and yielding, as if he didn't dare to compete.
But if he was certain that he couldn't find it, that was not what Zhou Yanwei really thought.
The world is so big, and there are so many talented people. Now that troubled times are about to break out, how could there not be three or five people who can kill the white snake and lift the nine tripods?
If Zhou Yanwei just made some bold statements, he would certainly have a lot of ambitions to say.
But this kind of thing is not something that can be talked about casually.
Lin Eryou's appearance and showdown were too sudden. Zhou Yanwei was still wary of this person and did not dare to trust him completely.
The two had only known each other for a month.
It is naturally impossible for him to open up to the other party now.
Lin Eryou saw Zhou Yanwei's hesitation and said with a smile:
"What's wrong? Where are Yan Wei's previous quick-witted words? Now we have to be king and subject. You and I can no longer be friends?"
He waved his fan, shook his head and said exaggeratedly:
"They say that when the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked. How could I, the emperor and his subjects, turn against each other before I even start my career... am I such a failure as a recommender?"
"It's really not that good."
Zhou Yanwei said bluntly, "You framed me before and nearly killed me at the hands of Di Wu."
He really still couldn't like Lin Eryou's frivolous and slippery personality.
He said with a forced smile, "You don't think this is over, do you?"
“…”
Lin Eryou scratched his head awkwardly with a feather fan: "Well, it's true that I did something unkind."
He spread his hands and said, "But if not, how can it be called a test?"
Before Zhou Yanwei could sneer with a dark face, Lin Eryou quickly said, "I apologize. How about this, to show my sincerity, I'll help you take over Jishao County... and even the entire Liang State?"
Zhou Yanwei's expression changed, and he stared at Lin Eryou: "How did you know?"
Lin Eryou shrugged and said, "I guessed."
"The Great Zhou just conquered Liang State, so it must have launched a major campaign to educate the people. Previously, those states were all presided over by your eldest brother, the virtuous and talented King of Qi."
"Education is based on the people's livelihood. Whoever shows up more now will be recognized by the people of Liang in the future. This is obvious."
"But this time, because the Ye Man suddenly invaded the north of Zhou State, he was sent to lead the troops to fight."
"And you just happened to appear here. Isn't this a good opportunity to establish your influence?"
"The Imperial City is too chaotic, Jishao County is just right."
Lin Eryou said with a smile: "It's worth it that I waited outside Jishao County a month in advance."
Zhou Yanwei is now really impressed by this "standing bookcase" in Freedom Hill.
"Standing bookcase" means someone who is knowledgeable, has a comprehensive understanding of things, has quick thinking and can write something with ease.
The person who could make the Master make such an evaluation is indeed not an ordinary person.
Zhou Yanwei's purpose of coming to Jishao County was to take this opportunity to truly develop his own power.
He was silent for a while, then said, "Then how can you help me?"
"No problem."
Lin Eryou asked, "How many people does Your Highness have available now?"
Zhou Yanwei pondered and said, "Three hundred awakened personal guards and ten secret guards, six of whom are at the Xiantian realm and four at the Denglou realm. They are all elite fighters. Besides, Lao Ma's injuries should be almost healed in another half a decade."
Lin Eryou shook his head: "Not enough."
Zhou Yanwei said helplessly: "I am just a prince who is not valued by my father. My mother's status is not high either. Even my other two brothers are more favored than me."
What he meant was that it was not easy for him to accumulate the power he has today.
Lin Eryou smiled and said, "It's not that I dislike the small number of people, but Your Highness cannot put them all in public. He must hide his incompetence."
Neither this nor that is good.
Zhou Yanwei said unhappily:
"There are only so many people, and you can't conjure more out of thin air. What can you do?"
Lin Eryou's eyes flickered:
"Your Highness, what do you think... of Chen Kuang and Chen Ruogu?"
Zhou Yanwei was stunned. "Him? His origins are mysterious, his temperament is strange, and his cultivation is hard to judge. However, this person is definitely not an ordinary person. He is at the top of the Canglang Review and will definitely be famous in the future."
In fact, he was still full of curiosity about Chen Kuang.
But this guy ran very fast, and looked like he would be punished if he ran late.
"you mean?"
Lin Eryou said leisurely: "This person can be used."
Zhou Yanwei was stunned: "But this person is from Liang, and he should already know my identity."
"What does that matter? It's just right that he's from Liang!"
Lin Eryou smiled slightly and said, "If you can control part of Liang State at this moment, it will be a hundred benefits for them and no harm at all."
"What do you mean?"
"The fall of Liang State is inevitable. It's impossible for him and that mother and daughter to restore the country in a short period of time."
Lin Eryou analyzed, "But there must be hidden forces within Liang State that can support them and allow them to recuperate and make a comeback."
"Otherwise, Huo Hengxuan wouldn't have to go to so much trouble to send them out."
"And this power can be used by Your Highness!"
