A female novel about traveling through a book? Learn about the power of the overlord at the beginnin

Actually, Chu Heng never thought about succeeding when he came to propose marriage this time.

However, in order to prevent being thrown out by the people sent by the Duke of Zhenguo, he could only show his value by showing his"talents".

However, Chu Heng did not expect that this old guy would actually want to recruit him just after he showed his talents.

Seeing Chu Heng's refusal, the Duke of Zhenguo did not give up, but persuaded him:"As the commander of the royal guards, you are only able to command a thousand troops."

"If you join my army, you can command thousands of troops, wouldn't it be great?"

If it were anyone else, they might be tempted.

But Chu Heng wanted to make friends with the super rich, so naturally he would not turn to the Duke of Zhenguo. So he shook his head and said,"Duke Zhenguo, you don't know that this innate supernatural power is just one of my insignificant talents. In fact, what I am really good at is not commanding troops in battle, but strategizing and acting as a counselor."

After entering the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, Chu Heng adopted the strategy of showing strength to the enemy.

He knew that the Duke of Zhenguo was a very strong person, and he would treat him with���If you are a strong person, you can't be"polite" to him, you should try your best to show your strong side.

The strong will only make friends with the strong!

"Oh, then tell me, how do you plan and strategize?"

Chu Heng heard this and immediately began his speech.

Because he had already given speeches to the King of Qi and Mr. Wu respectively, he was very familiar with mathematics this time. Sure enough, as an ancient person, even the Duke of Zhenguo was fooled by Chu Heng.

The main reason was that what Chu Heng talked about was too unconventional. It was not the so-called Four Books and Five Classics of those scholars, but a new"doctrine" that the Duke of Zhenguo had never heard of.

Chu Heng spoke until his mouth was dry, but seeing that the Duke of Zhenguo had no intention of stopping, he suddenly didn't want to continue.

"Ahem, mathematics is a profound subject. I have only learned part of it, and I will continue to strive for perfection in the future." Chu Heng said, and began to change the subject."My talent is not unprecedented, but it is not inferior to others. Although I come from a humble background, I will work hard to become stronger. I wonder if the Duke would consider marrying your daughter to me?"

"Well, you can think about it."

"Since the Duke of Zhenguo is unwilling to execute it, then"Chu Heng was talking to himself when he was suddenly stunned,"Ah, what?"

Chu Heng thought that the other party would still refuse outright, but unexpectedly, the other party did not play by the rules.

Chu Heng thought that he had shown his talent and had tried very hard. After such efforts, the other party still refused, then he had accomplished his mission.

Even if the King of Qi asked about it later, he could not be blamed for anything.

But the other party's words stunned Chu Heng.

At this time, the Duke of Zhenguo saw Chu Heng's confused look, and a smug smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth,"You kid, this time you came to my house and said that the marriage proposal was fake, I'm afraid you have other purposes."

The Duke of Zhenguo has seen all kinds of people. After this short exchange, he knew that the young man in front of him was not sincere at all and came to marry his daughter.

"Presumably, the King of Qi asked you to get the news."

Feeling the wise and meaningful gaze of the Duke of Zhenguo, Chu Heng could only smile awkwardly and said,"The Duke of Zhenguo is really amazing. I hid so deeply, but you saw through me at once."

As he said that, Chu Heng's face became serious:"In that case, I will get straight to the point. I wonder if the spread of this kind of news in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion means that the Duke of Zhenguo intends to join the side of the prince?" Upon hearing this, the Duke of Zhenguo did not answer but asked,"Then I wonder, what do you think of my intention?"

As the Duke of Zhenguo said this, a playful arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

This kid is indeed a little clever, but no matter how smart he is, I'm afraid he won't think of his"intention".

Because, this is not the news he released at all.

When the Duke of Zhenguo thought of his daughter's behavior, he felt a headache.

But what the Duke of Zhenguo didn't know was that the man in front of him was cheating.

"The Duke of Zhenguo is now in a high position among the ministers. I think there is no need for him to intervene in the fight for the throne."

Chu Heng made a serious guess:"But this news did come from the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, so I dare to guess that it was not the Duke of Zhenguo's intention to spread the news."

"Excluding all possibilities, I can only guess one possibility. The most likely reason for this news is that Miss Li Yunshang admires Prince Yong so much that she is willing to destroy her own reputation in order to become his concubine, which is why she made such a shocking move."

At first, the Duke of Zhenguo was just teasing, but as he listened, a look of shock appeared on his face.

This boy is so terrifying!

He can see through things so clearly and deduce the real reason for the spread of the news just by guessing.

"Look at the expression of the Duke of Zhenguo, have I guessed it right?"

Chu Heng's tone was full of affirmation and confidence.

How could he not be confident? Everyone knew this, he just said the established result.

"Humph, you are quite clever." The Duke of Zhenguo said, his face suddenly turned cold,"Little do you know, sometimes, knowing too much is not a good thing."

Seeing the murderous look on the face of the Duke of Zhenguo, Chu Heng was shocked.

Damn, it's a bit too much.

Imagine if the news that the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo was willing to destroy her own reputation in order to become the concubine of Prince Yong spread out, it would be a family scandal for the Duke of Zhenguo.

Therefore, it is entirely possible that the Duke of Zhenguo killed people to silence them.

"Humph, are you scared now?"

As expected of a general commanding hundreds of thousands of troops, the murderous aura released from his body was really like substance, suffocating.

However, perhaps because of the power of the Overlord, Chu Heng was unusually calm at this time, and was not frightened by the momentum of the Duke of Zhenguo.

"I am the commander of the personal guards of the King of Qi. It is known to everyone that I am in the mansion of the Duke of Zhenguo. If an accident happens here, I am afraid that it will be difficult for you, the Duke of Zhenguo, to explain to the King of Qi."

"Haha, by then I will have sided with the crown prince, so why should I explain to the King of Qi?"

Damn, this old guy, he won't really want to kill himself, will he?

Chu Heng was not really afraid of his life being in danger. After all, there was still a life-saving mechanism in the system that had not been triggered.

However, if the life-saving mechanism was really used here, it would be a big loss.

Thinking of this, Chu Heng also had"malice" in his heart.

This old guy wanted to kill him, so he might as well take the initiative.

Although the opponent has been on the battlefield for a long time and his martial arts have always been good, he is old after all, while he is young and has the power of a king.

At such a close distance, it must not be difficult to capture the opponent first.

Chu Heng thought so, but he saw that the Duke of Zhenguo had been ten steps away from him at some point.

"Haha, kid, you didn’t want to capture me just now, did you?"

"Young man, you are still inexperienced. Your intention is so obvious, and you still want to succeed?"

As he spoke, the Duke of Zhenguo stroked his long beard, his face showing a smug look.
