"Chu boy, I have discussed with the King of Qi and asked you to make a choice." The Duke of Zhenguo interrupted the King of Qi and Chu Heng's"reminiscence" and said with a hint of deep meaning,"Are you going to stay under my command and become a general in the future, or go back to be the commander of the King of Qi's personal guards, which is worse than shit?"
When the King of Qi heard what the Duke of Zhenguo said, he was immediately angry.
This old man actually slandered him in disguise.
How could the King's personal commander be worse than shit?!
"Brother Chu, you have extraordinary talent. The Duke of Zhenguo only sees your side as a military commander. Only I understand that your talent is definitely not just on the battlefield."
To be honest, at this time, the King of Qi also knew that the conditions he could offer were definitely not as good as those offered by the Duke of Zhenguo.
Although he was a prince, he was not the emperor, so it was naturally impossible for him to easily promise him high positions and generous salaries.
And with the Duke of Zhenguo, an outsider, around, the King of Qi could not overly show his ambition to seize the throne, nor could he mention any merits of following the emperor.
After all, the emperor was still alive, and it would be unfilial to be eager to show that he wanted to take the throne at this time.
Therefore, the King of Qi could only play the"emotional" card.
Chu Heng was dumbfounded when he heard what the two said.
What's going on? What are these two people doing?
However, Chu Heng was such a smart man that he saw the deep meaning in the eyes of the Duke of Zhenguo, and he immediately understood everything.
"As the saying goes, a minister cannot serve two masters. Your Majesty, do not look down on my humble origins and treat me with sincerity. How could I leave Your Majesty?" Chu Heng said this with great determination."I am your man in life and your ghost in death. If I have any other intentions, I will be punished by heaven and earth and will not die a good death."
When the Duke of Zhenguo heard this, his mouth twitched.
This little bastard, I asked you to act, but you got so carried away.
At this moment, seeing Chu Heng's firm attitude in expressing his position of following him, the King of Qi was instantly moved.
What a good person, not only does he have unparalleled knowledge, he is both civil and military, but he is also loyal to him. Where can you find such a genius?
For a moment, Chu Heng's status in the heart of the King of Qi was raised again.
People are always like this, they will never cherish what they get easily.
And after the process of getting it is full of twists and turns, they will cherish it.
Just now, the King of Qi thought that Chu Heng would change his ways, and this feeling of"lost and found" made him feel very comfortable.
Seeing that the two were going to perform some master-servant affection, the Duke of Zhenguo suddenly felt a little restless.
Damn it, I don't want to watch all this mess.
Therefore, the Duke of Zhenguo coughed and interrupted directly:"You useless guy, you kid should go back to the King of Qi's Mansion and be the commander of the personal guards who is worse than shit."
Then, the Duke of Zhenguo changed the subject and said,"However, it's time to set a date for your marriage with my daughter. I think it will be a good time to marry Yan'er next month."
The Duke of Zhenguo decided to"send" both of his daughters away next month.
Now that the rumors are getting more and more intense, the Duke of Zhenguo also wants to calm them down as soon as possible.
Chu Heng didn't mind what the Duke of Zhenguo said, but the King of Qi was dumbfounded.
What's going on, marriage? What marriage?
However, the King of Qi quickly realized that he sent Chu Heng here just to find out the truth about the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion in the name of marriage, didn't he?
So, this guy Chu Heng really succeeded in his marriage?!
The Duke of Zhenguo doesn't care about family background anymore?
Just as the King of Qi was thinking about it, the Duke of Zhenguo sighed again and said,"It's a pity that you don't want to be under my command. Otherwise, with your talent, you can go to the battlefield, kill the enemy, get military merits, and it won't be difficult to be granted a title. Now your family background is a little low after all."
The words of the Duke of Zhenguo made the King of Qi realize that the Duke of Zhenguo really valued Chu Heng, so he was willing to marry his daughter to him regardless of the difference in family background.
This seemed to be somewhat different from the plan he had made with Mr. Wu.
Originally, according to Mr. Wu's plan, the Duke of Zhenguo was to deliberately turn to the Prince's faction, and then let the Prince's power expand, arouse the suspicion of his father, and then use this to bring down the other party.
As long as the Prince falls, who can compete with him for the supreme position. What the King of Qi didn't know was that Mr. Wu did want the Prince to fall, but the ultimate goal was not to benefit the King of Qi, but everything was for the King of Yong to finally take the throne.
Wait, all of a sudden, the King of Qi"realized".
This must be the expedient measure of the Duke of Zhenguo. Could this guy be trying to bet on both sides?
"Your Majesty, I have already inquired clearly from the Duke of Zhenguo about the rumors coming out of the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion." Seeing the uncertain expression on the face of the King of Qi, Chu Heng said at the right time,"When we return to the King of Qi’s Mansion, I will explain it to Your Majesty in detail." Upon hearing this, the King of Qi could only say,"That’s it, we will go back to the mansion now."
The King of Qi originally wanted to take Chu Heng away directly. He was full of doubts now and was ready to ask about it after returning.
But at this time, the Duke of Zhenguo stopped him and said,"Your Majesty, why don’t you go back first? I still have to discuss the marriage with this kid."
The Duke of Zhenguo used the important matter of his daughter’s wedding banquet as an excuse. The King of Qi could not refute anything and could only leave in disappointment.
As soon as the King of Qi left, the Duke of Zhenguo looked at Chu Heng and said unhappily,"You kid, you are really good at acting."
Chu Heng did not refute, but smiled faintly and replied,"This is all thanks to the help of your father-in-law."
"Humph, stop trying to get close to me, you’re not my son-in-law yet." The Duke of Zhenguo’s tone was full of dissatisfaction,"Yan’er has been smart and beautiful since she was young, and she is lucky for you."
In fact, the Duke of Zhenguo knew that compared to his legitimate daughter who thought highly of herself, this concubine's daughter, who usually kept a low profile, was the smartest in the backyard.
However, his daughter was deliberately hiding her incompetence, and the Duke of Zhenguo would not deliberately expose anything.
After all, men are responsible for the outside world, while women are responsible for the inside world. In the backyard, the Duke of Zhenguo would not interfere in ordinary matters.
If Yan'er performed too well, she would inevitably be envied by his legitimate daughter, and the Duke of Zhenguo was very clear about this.
But Li Yunshang was his legitimate daughter after all. Although they were like flesh and blood, there was still a difference.
Therefore, although the Duke of Zhenguo knew that his concubine's daughter was hiding her incompetence, he was just like a bystander and did not participate too much in the affairs of the backyard.
Now, Li Yunshang deliberately spread rumors without his consent and insisted on marrying Prince Yong, which made the Duke of Zhenguo very disappointed.
In comparison, Li Yunyan, a concubine who never did anything out of the ordinary, stood out.
"Don't worry, father-in-law, Yan'er and I are in love, and I will definitely treat her well. If Yan'er suffers any injustice, I will bring my head to see you."
Chu Heng said with a solemn oath, and then suddenly said:"In fact, Xiao Xu doesn't mind working part-time, father-in-law, if there is a vacant position for a general or something, Xiao Xu can work harder and help father-in-law share the worries."
