King Wu's question is not easy to answer, answering his question is like walking in the sky, and the slightest carelessness will be in danger of being crushed.

King Wu didn't seem to wait for me to give an answer, but quickly changed the topic: "I haven't been to school for a few years, and I am completely illiterate...... English and mathematics were too difficult for me, and I could barely get by with Chinese, so I bought such a villa and set up a study room for me to study. My favorite thing to read is history books, and they all say that reading history makes people clear and wise. ”

Listening to King Wu's words, I nodded slightly, I agree with these words, the wisest book is the history book, this is a sentence that my Chinese teacher told me when I was in high school.

At this time, King Wu suddenly asked again: "Xiao Yang, let me ask you another question, why do you say that in the troubled times, there are the most heroes?" ”

I was stunned, thinking that this time King Wu was still not ready to let me answer, just casually talking, but I didn't expect King Wu's fiery eyes to tell me that he was serious this time.

"Because of troubled times...... Grinding people? I whispered, "Rough circumstances naturally give birth to outstanding heroes?" ”

King Wu nodded lightly: "You are right to say so, but I have another understanding, that is, there is competition everywhere in the troubled times, and only competition can make people progress quickly." ”

After saying this, I vaguely realized something.

King Wu stood up and said with a smile: "I used to love watching the animal world, where the beasts in it grabbed territory and food, and sometimes they could really reflect some big truths. Foxes and wolves are relatively apex predators, but both animals have their own characteristics. The fox relies on cunning, it is good at using its brain, so it can often be taken by surprise, but the wolf relies on a ruthless force, invincible. Xiao Yang, I've said so much, have you guessed my intentions today? ”

Finally, Wu Dynasty threw out an ultimate question for me, which I must not answer, and I must not answer it wrong.

After the fall of the Qin and Tang families, the governance, competition, foxes and wolves in Sioux City...... I think I've found the answer.

"Mr. Sun, are you alluding to Guo Jiaji?" I asked tentatively.

King Wu smiled slightly: "Smart, not only Guo Jiaji, but also another person." Guo Jiaji is a cunning fox, but you are a fierce and brave wolf. Yang Ye, you are a potential and qualified offspring, I had this feeling when you killed Wang Hao at the beginning, and now you actually got rid of Shi Laoweng with your own strength, which makes me even more impressed. ”

I was sweating and caught off guard when I said this. And what shocked me especially was that King Wu actually started noticing me from the time I killed Wang Hao in Lexian.

One is me, one is Guo Jiaji, one is a wolf, and the other is a fox. This is the first time I've heard such an analogy. This analogy is very innovative and makes sense. I would never have thought that I would be compared to Guo Jiaji, after all, no matter our background or experience, including our current social status, the two of us are very different.

"You must have heard that Guo Jiaji is my handpicked heir, and this matter has been recognized by Sioux City public opinion, yes, he is indeed the best candidate for the heir in my hands now. But for me, an heir is not enough. ”

King Wu added tea again, and said: "First of all, I have just told you, there is competition to make progress, although Guo Jiaji is good enough, but this life is too smooth and too smooth, such a person can't withstand setbacks and can't bear big things; Secondly, Yang Ye, do you know why the emperors in the past had to support another prince after he established the crown prince, so that he had almost the same resources and strength as the crown prince? ”

"For the sake of ...... Checks and balances? I responded.

King Wu nodded lightly: "Yes, it is a check and balance." No matter how brave the emperor is, there will be an old day when he will be old, if the crown prince can't wait to inherit the throne at that time, the old emperor will inevitably be controlled by others. Frankly speaking, my current relationship with Guo Jiaji is like that between the emperor and the crown prince, as Guo Jiaji's Bole, I can see his ambitions, so I urgently need a prince to stand up and help me check and balance Guo Jiaji. ”

At this point, I finally figured out why King Wu summoned me. Among the young talents in the entire Sioux City, King Wu only had a crush on two people: one was Guo Jiaji, and the other was me.

That's a good thing, but it's also a bad thing.

The good thing is that I can get the favor of King Wu, which shows that my own ability is good, and I will get more support in the future.

The bad thing is that I have to stand on the opposite side of Guo Jiaji now, Guo Jiaji started higher than me, and has more resources than me, if he wants to kill me, then I will definitely not have a good life in the future.

I'm not afraid of Guo Jiaji, it's just that this kind of life always makes people's hearts beat.

"Yang Ye, you don't have to worry, I know that now, the gap between you and Guo Jiaji is very big, and it would be unfair to you if you let the two of you compete head-on at this time. I'll give you a buffer period, during which Guo Jiaji won't do anything to you, and I won't let the two of you clash head-on until you really gain a foothold in Sioux City, how about it? King Wu said with a smile, adding tea to me again as he spoke.

After drinking this half pot of ninety-seven years old Pu'er, how can I refuse King Wu's kindness?

What's more, even if King Wu is only boiling a few yuan a pack of spring tea in the teapot today, I will never dare to say a "no" in front of him.

King Wu is still King Wu after all, and I am just a mediocre junior in Su City.

"I can accept that." I said slowly, "But I need you to give me a guarantee. ”

The cup of justice in King Wu's hand shook slightly, and he didn't seem to expect that I would dare to bargain with him on this matter.

King Wu's face still had a friendly smile like an uncle next door, but the movements in his hands began to faintly reveal a murderous aura: "What guarantee? Let's hear it. ”

"I want you to assure you that the competition between me and Guo Jiaji in the future is fair, and the status of the two of us is equal, instead of letting me act as Guo Jiaji's sparring partner for promotion, and let me be his pedal for progress."

King Wu's eyebrows frowned slightly, put down the fair cup in his hand, and said in a low voice: "Okay, I can promise you." ”

I smiled lightly and continued to add: "Even if the two of us fight to the end to the point where the bayonet is red, you are dead and alive, even if it is me who has the last laugh, even if Guo Jiaji is eliminated by me, you will not interfere, let alone avenge him?" ”

I was a little angry when I said this, and I regretted it a little after saying it.

King Wu's eyes became less friendly when he looked at me, and it was obvious that I had exposed a little selfishness of his.

Support me to the top? After all, King Wu is not a philanthropist, the reason why he wants me to compete with Guo Jiaji is because Guo Jiaji, and he still has his own selfishness.

There is a difference between relatives and relatives, and he will never be ready to give me his inheritance for no reason because I have performed well.

So to put it bluntly, I'm just a sparring partner of Guo Jiaji.

Guo Jiaji's progress alone is slow, and King Wu thought about it, so he singled me out and gave Guo Jiaji to be a wild monster to level up. On the surface, the two of us have the same status, but in fact, I only exist to motivate Guo Jiaji to improve.

As for checks and balances, it's all a façade. With King Wu's respect for Guo Jiaji, even if Guo Jiaji really has a heart of disobedience in the future, King Wu may not be willing to abolish Guo Jiaji, the "crown prince", and support me to ascend to the throne.

So I asked him to give me this assurance, although I knew that a person of King Wu's realm must lie as simply as drinking water and eating.

"Okay, I promise you." King Wu laughed softly, but how sincere this sentence is, only King Wu himself knows.

"That's good." I nodded, pretending to be satisfied. Although I don't have any hope in my heart for King Wu's assurance, I must have done enough work on the surface.

Maybe it's because of the weakness of being a thief, or maybe because of other reasons, King Wu no longer cooks water and adds tea, and only holds the last cup of aged Pu'er in his hand.

"By the way, Xiao Yang, can you tell me whose hands Qin Yang died in?" King Wu asked inadvertently.

Since Su and Zhejiang have all guessed that Tang Wangye may not be the real culprit who killed Qin Yang, King Wu, who has been making waves in Suzhou City for decades, has naturally seen through our trick of splashing dirty water. The real culprit who killed Qin Yang has always been at large.

This issue is a little sensitive, and Qi Yulian's matter may not be suitable to be disclosed to King Wu. But I thought about it, and finally answered him: "It's an unjust soul, she has a ghost that has been scattered and found Su Cheng, and finally took Qin Yang's life." ”

King Wu seemed a little curious, and then asked, "What kind of unjust soul?" What does she have to do with Qin Yang? ”

I smiled softly and bitterly: "Have you heard of the Shen family's treasures?" ”

King Wu's hand suddenly shook, half a cup of aged Pu'er was splashed obliquely, and the purple sand teacup fell to the ground, instantly falling to pieces.
