I’m The King Chapter 741: : The sound of drums and horns is sharp (13)

Sitting opposite Zhou Yuan, Cao Tianci carefully observed the former Yan Guo Taiwei who once ruled the world. In just two years, the retired Taiwei was much older than when he first met him. I've been haggard too much, with white hair all over my head, and layers of wrinkles on my face, I almost can't believe my eyes

Looking at him, his life is not easy.

Although the Zhou family has been preserved because of Zhou Yu, the Zhou Yuan branch has been ruthlessly suppressed. It has been reduced from the most glorious branch that all Zhou clan members look up to to the present. Everyone disliked Zhou Yuan's direct descendants for fear of getting a little bit of stench. Naturally, there were many dissatisfied people. This gave Cao Tianci an opportunity to take advantage of it. The first batch of people from the Overwatch Council to enter Fenzhou recruited Several Zhou clan members like this, although they are only on the periphery, can also provide a lot of convenience for the Overwatch Council's actions in Fenzhou.

After all, Fenzhou is Zhou Yuan's base camp, and the emaciated camels are bigger than horses, so they still have some influence to some extent.

While Cao Tianci was sizing up Zhou Yuan, Zhou Yuan was also observing the young man in front of him. Cao Tianci was really too young, and Zhou Yuan felt extremely jealous because of his youthful face. What comes out is absolute self-confidence. Once upon a time, not to mention the person in front of him, even his master Gao Yuan was just an insignificant person in front of him. He could decide life and death with a single word, but now, he is like this Sit in front of yourself calmly.

In Yuyang back then, for various reasons, I spared Gao Yuan and did not kill him on the battlefield. Perhaps after returning to Jicheng, I took Gao Yuan by myself in order to dismount Ye Xiang. Being a gunman is the biggest mistake I have made in my life, if I have always maintained a good relationship with Gao Yuan. Could it be that my own ending will be completely different from the present?

At this moment, Zhou Yuan's thoughts flew far, far away.

When people are old, they always like to recall the past. Hearing Cao Tianci's slight cough, Zhou Yuan suddenly woke up from his memories.

"Gao Yuan, you have always been okay? He wiped out the 50,000 Donghu army in Hetao. After the old man heard about it, he drank three glasses of wine. You know. Since I returned to Fenzhou, I have rarely done this. Already drunk." Zhou Yuan looked at Cao Tianci with a smile.

"The governor is well!" Cao Tianci nodded and said, "Thank you, Taiwei, for your concern. The governor just got a son a year ago, and now he is half a year old."

"In the blink of an eye, another few years have passed!" Zhou Yuan smiled wryly and shook his head.

"The governor said, if the Taiwei is not happy in Fenzhou, he might as well go to Jishi City to live for a while, Yang or Hetao is also possible. Give Li Literature Network" Cao Tianci said with a smile.

"Going to Hetao?" Zhou Yuan's eyes flashed a strange color, but then he said with a smile: "If you want to come to your family's governor, you must hope that I can still live in Fenzhou?"

Cao Tianci remained calm. "As long as the Taiwei is willing, my family's governor will build a residence for the Taiwei by the Dayan Lake in the Hetao Plain. The sky is high and the sun is far away, and the scenery is pleasant. It is indeed a good place to live."

"Then build one, maybe one day, I will really live somewhere." Zhou Yuan chuckled, "Gao Yuan is really an open-minded person with a broad mind that is hard to match in the world. Dean Cao , I just want to ask a question, Liang Zi, who was supervised by your family and I, is not that deep, and he almost died in my hands several times, so he really doesn't hold grudges against me?"

"I also asked my governor about this question, and my governor only had one sentence, and it is also a moment." Cao Tianci said: "I don't understand, please explain clearly to the governor. The governor said that at that time, the Taiwei It is still a Taiwei. If you are in that position, you have to do what you are in that position. They are different from each other, and they will naturally go the opposite way. It is also a matter of life and death, which has nothing to do with personal relationships. Now that the Taiwei We are no longer in that position, and we have found a common interest point between each other, so it is not impossible to be friends again. What's more, since the Taiwei returned to Fenzhou, he has also helped We have quite a few."

Zhou Yuan nodded, "After these years, Gao Yuan has grown from a warrior to a mature and great politician. Does he want to replace Dayan?"

"The governor has never said such a thing to me." Cao Tianci shook his head.

Zhou Yuan smiled, "Well, he didn't say such a thing, but you must think so, don't you? There are only you and me here. You are a rebel in Dayan's eyes, and in my current situation you I also know that allowing me to live is something they have no choice but to do, so you don't have to guard against me."

"If what the Taiwei asked was my personal opinion, what I want to say is that not only do we want to replace the Great Swallow, but we also have the ambition to step on the Central Plains and compete in the world. Would the Taiwei feel that? Ridiculous?" Cao Tianci stared at Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan's body shook slightly, he was stunned for a moment, and then said: "What's so ridiculous? People are born with ambitions. There is no essential difference. The poor want to become rich, the rich want to be richer, and the richer want to be powerful, and Ru Gaoyuan owns a piece of land, a piece of foundation, and then looks forward to the world. The strongest country in the world, Qin, was nothing more than a small feudal vassal back then. At that time, who thought they would have the power to sweep the world, but what about now?"

"Taiwei said it well." Cao Tianci said: "My family's governor has always regarded the Qin people as the strongest opponent."

"With Qiang Qin as the final opponent, it seems that Gao Yuan does have the ambition to win the world." Zhou Yuan sighed. "Tell me, why did Gao Yuan ask you to come to me?"

Cao Tianci smiled slightly, "Taiwei, it is not as good as before. I have been in Fenzhou for some time. The reason why I decided to come to see Taiwei in person is because I saw that Taiwei was really unhappy. To be honest If things go on like this, you, a member of the Zhou family, may be at risk. To put it more seriously, maybe the Zhou family ancestral hall will change hands. If that day really happens, I am afraid that after a hundred years, you will be in the Zhou family ancestral hall. Isn't a spiritual seat a luxury?"

"What do you want to say?"

"Taiwei is a person who has experienced the vicissitudes of the world through great storms, and may not care about the ups and downs of this world, but he must think about your descendants. As far as I know, you just died last year Got a little granddaughter, she looks so adorable!" Cao Tianci laughed.

Zhou Yuan took a deep breath, "You can hear me clearly. Let's get down to business!"

"Okay, we got information not long ago that the Donghu people and Jicheng have reached an agreement that Kumamoto will reorganize the 30,000 Yan State Standing Army who are still prisoners of war in Donghu territory, and prepare to use them as the main force to invade our Hetao again region."

Zhou Yuan's eyes widened suddenly, "Are you kidding me? The 30,000 people in Donghu were not raised in vain. They were working as coolies, suffering and suffering. Under such circumstances, how much fighting power do they have?" ? Are they willing to work for the Donghu people?”

"According to the information we have obtained, this is a fact. To be honest, General Kumamoto is capable. Even if the strength of these 30,000 people is not as good as before, they can still make up 10,000 to 20,000 people. It came out. After a few more months of good care, it is not empty talk to restore the previous combat effectiveness. It is not difficult for General Kumamoto to stir up the fighting spirit of these people. These people have long wanted to go home It's gone." Cao Tianci said: "For us, they may not be much of an obstacle. We are stationed in the Hetao area, but the most elite troops of the Conquering Eastern Army are stationed. Go, they are all from Dayan, and the governor can't bear it."

"No wonder Gao Yuan wanted to build a house for me in Hetao. I wish I could go somewhere to solve this matter for him!" Zhou Yuan sighed.

"It's not just that." Cao Tianci said with a smile: "Actually, in Fenzhou, the Taiwei has already solved many problems for us. Boatman, we have already owned several sea ships. My governor said that these sea ships and the sea ships that will be built continuously in the future will become an important force in Zhengdong Mansion. So even if you don’t agree to this matter , the house in Hetao will still be built for you."

"Do you want to deal with Qi people by building sea ships? Gao Yuan thinks his enemies are not enough?"

"If you dare to be the first in the world, you must naturally have the awareness to be an opponent of the whole world." Cao Tianci chuckled and brought the topic back, "Xiong Ben is the Taiwei's confidant, Yu Zhouyu and the others are I have never bought it ~IndoMTL.com~ Otherwise, he would not refuse to go back to China with you at the last moment and would rather stay in Donghu as a prisoner of war. The people and horses are brought back again, but they want to take this opportunity so that the Donghu people will never have a chance to stand up."

Zhou Yuan took a deep breath, he somewhat understood Gao Yuan's thoughts.

"The Donghu people are in a hurry to go to the doctor. They can't do anything about our fortified city in Hetao, so they came up with such a method. This is like putting a double-edged sword between us. It may hurt us, but it is also likely to cut themselves. If the Taiwei is willing to go out, this double-edged sword will become a sharp weapon to cut their throats."

Listening to Cao Tianci's words, Zhou Yuan slowly closed his eyes, but he was thinking about the other party's proposal in his heart.

"If I do this, it will be tantamount to betraying the country of Yan completely, do you understand?"

"Is the current court of Yan Kingdom still worthy of your nostalgia?" Cao Tianci asked with a smile.

"Did you just say that you got a pitiful little granddaughter years ago?" Zhou Yuan suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Cao Tianci. "Gao Yuan also has a half-year-old son."

Cao Tianci was taken aback, looking at Zhou Yuan with an inconceivable look in his eyes.

"If Gao Yuan's son makes a marriage contract with my little granddaughter, I will agree to this matter. If I don't want this old bone, I will go to Hetao for a while, and you will pass on my meaning to you. Gao Yuan, let him decide!" Zhou Yuan stood up, "Master Cao, I am too old to sit for a long time, so I won't keep you any longer.";
