Chapter 103: People's hearts change, and so does loyalty
"Good calculation. ”
When Zhuang Ming heard this, he smiled slightly and said, "It seems that this official in charge of the Jiangdi Decree is to consider my ability...... After Fu Lao, if I take over, but my ability is not as good as Zheng Yuanshan, and I can't bring him greater benefits, maybe this Jiangdi business, he thinks that it is time to let Zheng Yuanshan come over and take over. ”
Lu He and Liu Heju are not very good-looking.
Only Bai Qing raised his arm, touched his head, and said, "What?"
Yue Ting's face was cold, and he said: "According to the customs here, a banquet is held, invitations are issued, and the branches of Zhuang's firm are originally a family, and he sends a single one, but how many people to go to, and who to go, we have our own considerations." In the Dongsheng Dynasty, unless the brothers are separated, there is no rule that one family will have two stickers......"
"But now that he's sent two, what does it mean?" Bai Qing asked.
"What do you mean?" Yue Ting said in a deep voice: "If in the past, Fu Lao and Zheng Yuanshan were also considered to be of equal status, and they were on an equal footing, and he posted two posts, which was not considered to be overstepping...... But today's Gongzi is here in person, and his status is naturally higher than that of him Zheng Yuanshan, and these two invitations, one to Hedi and the other to Gongzi's hands, doesn't it mean that he is equal to Gongzi's status?"
"This lord who is in charge of the order, it can be said that he shirks, saying that he doesn't know the identity of the son. Lu He said: "Gongzi is the real master of Zhuang's firm, if Zheng Yuanshan dares to take it, he will raise his status to the same height, and it can be regarded as establishing his self-reliance." ”
"Since there is a big banquet, it is impossible not to know the etiquette, this is the custom of the Dongyuan Realm, he should naturally know that this move is not prioritized. ”
Zhuang Ming said with a smile: "The executor, knowing this, still sent two tickets, either it can be regarded as sowing discord, or he really takes Zheng Yuanshan very seriously, not less than me." ”
He chuckled, looked to the sky, and stood with his hands in his hands.
Did Zheng Yuanshan receive the invitation?
Does Zheng Yuanshan know? or...... This was even decided by him in consultation with Jiang Di Zhengling?
If this is the case, it also means that Zheng Yuanshan has seen a broader world and is unwilling to succumb to him.
was even willing to die for him.
Now he has become an ambitious traitor trying to stand on his own.
At this moment, Zhuang Ming was very complicated.
But there was no anger at betrayal.
He just sighed, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
At the time of the Dongsheng Dynasty, both Zheng Yuanshan and Yuan Tao were loyal people, and it was precisely because of this that he was sent out to go to sea with Fu Lao and Yue Ting and others to develop business in the blessed land of the Heavenly Emperor.
"But ......"
Zhuang Ming said softly: "People will change after all." ”
The blessed land of heaven is too vast.
Endless opportunities, infinite changes.
When you see a broader world and realize that your hometown is a small pond, will you still offer your family foundation that you have worked hard for many years to the people in the pond with both hands?
When you know that the person you once allegiated to was actually just a frog at the bottom of the well, just an ant in the eyes of the truly strong, would you still give up on him?
When you have the opportunity to become a giant and trample this ant to death with one foot, will you still be in awe of this ant?
When you stand on a high place, you have far more power than your former master, and you regard it like an ant, will you continue to obey this ant, and for this ant, to be born and die?

Dongyuan Realm, Seventh Mansion, Hedi.
"Lord Shorei, who is in the area, has sent an invitation. ”
Zheng Yuanshan said slowly: "In addition, he sent an invitation to the Zhuang family firm in Jiangdi and sent it to Fu Lao's ...... But now it is known that Fu Lao is about to die, and this invitation is actually for Childe. ”
Yuan Tao's face changed slightly, and he said, "What does he mean?"
Zheng Yuanshan said in a low voice: "Jiangdi is ordering, he wants to test my guts......"
Speaking of this, he stood with his hands in his hands and said: "That old guy, in charge of a place, more than ten cities are under the rule, his power is high, no less than any of the sixteen mansions of Huai'an, and he is also an old fox, he must want me to face the son, take a look at me and the new ruler of the Jiangdi Zhuang Firm, who is higher and which is lower, who can get his support." ”
Yuan Tao hesitated: "Do you really want to go to the banquet?"
Zheng Yuanshan nodded and said, "Since you are determined to be self-reliant, there is no reason to avoid it. In addition, I also wanted to take over the business of Jiangdi, so I couldn't let this old guy look down on him. ”
"If I don't go this time, the old fellow will conclude that I am too bold, lacking in courage, and afraid of Zhuang Ming. ”
"This time, I made up my mind. ”
Zheng Yuanshan took a deep breath and said: "Yuan Tao, bring all the people under you, Gongzi has always been ruthless, I am afraid that he will not take care of the old feelings, lest he be intercepted and killed by him halfway through." ”
Yuan Tao exclaimed: "This is the Great Chu Dynasty, the law order, it is more rigorous than the Dongsheng Dynasty, he has just arrived, I'm afraid he won't dare to stop?"
Zheng Yuanshan said in a deep voice: "The more you think he doesn't dare, the more likely he is to act like this...... With his scheme, if he really wants to ambush and kill, will you be able to find out the evidence of his crime of sending people to commit murder?"
Yuan Tao's heart suddenly froze, and he said, "I have recruited two grandmasters, including me, three grandmasters...... This time, let the two of them accompany him, and prepare thirty more good players. ”
——
Half an hour.
Fu Lao has awakened.
The body is also gradually recovering.
The remaining medicinal power not only restored his injuries, but also accumulated and increased his vitality.
This Jiuyang True Pill is not only a healing elixir, but also an elixir for prolonging life.
"Childe ......"
"You don't have to get up, just lie down and rest. ”
Zhuang Ming stretched out his hand and pressed him.
Fu Lao's gaze fell on his legs, and he was suddenly a little excited.
Over the years, he has also searched for many wound medicines in the Great Chu Dynasty, but it is difficult to cure old diseases...... Although he also knew that the upper-class people must have treasure medicine, but after a few years of development, they were only private trading houses all over the six places, and they could not get in touch with the higher-class figures.
"Did the Frost Spirit tell you?"
"Hmm......" Fu Lao nodded busily, excited, and said: "Gongzi cultivated a dragon, swept away thousands of armies, and killed immortals. The old slave knew that Gongzi was not an ordinary person, but he didn't expect that Gongzi was actually a person from heaven, only in the Dongsheng Dynasty, he had such achievements, and now that Gongzi came, the old slave was relieved. ”
"Well, you've worked hard all these years. Zhuang Ming sat on the side, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Over the years, in order to accumulate heritage, both you and I have been in the red world, crawling and rolling, intriguing, and being exposed to guns and arrows. ”
"Childe......" Fu Lao hurriedly said: "I heard that Jiangdi has issued two invitations?"
"It's okay, your injuries are just right, so you can rest, and I'll do the rest myself. Zhuang Ming said.
"You're new here......" Fu Lao was still a little hesitant.
"I'll come forward in person, aren't you still at ease?" Zhuang Ming smiled: "In the past, Jiaolong was not successful, when I first arrived here, I should be extremely cautious and explore in all directions, but now, the divine power is in my body, why be afraid? It's just a newcomer, and at present, the royal family of the Great Chu Dynasty and the immortal gate of the Eastern Yuan Realm are indeed not clear, so it is not good to be reckless and trample on the laws they have set...... If it had been any other place, I would have swept away all the forces that were hostile to us today. ”
"Hmm...... With this divine power, there is indeed no fear. Fu Lao sighed like this, he didn't expect that Gongzi would come with such divine power, this time not only by virtue of Gongzi's wisdom, but also with the strength to suppress all directions.
"But what do you think of this deacon?" Zhuang Ming asked.
"Dongyuan Realm, hundreds of boundaries, each of which is no less than the Sixteen Prefectures of Huai'an, the Jiangdi is also quite vast, and the business is also prosperous, so although he is only a parent official in one place, his power is not small. ”
Fu Lao Zhengse said: "The old slave has dealt with him for many years, and I deeply feel that this person is scheming and ruthless, and he is more greedy for money than the Guangfu masters of our Huai'an Sixteen Mansions...... He himself has been successful in martial arts, but he is only condensed with strength, and martial arts is the first heavy, but there are many tolerances under his command, and there are thirteen people on the surface of those who have stepped on the level of martial arts masters. ”
In the Dongsheng Dynasty, there was almost one grandmaster in a generation, but it was not uncommon here.
Regarding this, Zhuang Ming is not surprised, after all, the blessed land of heaven and earth is more extensive, and the so-called outstanding people and spirits are even more treasures.
In addition, the schools under the jurisdiction of the government have a medicine refining pavilion, which sells all kinds of medicines to the outside world, and there is no shortage of things that help qi and blood.
The grandmasters of the Dongsheng Dynasty are mostly based on their own hard work, just like Lu He, at the moment of life and death, they gather the general trend...... And like Yue Yang, his martial arts attainments are sufficient, but the accumulation of qi and blood is insufficient, and he was able to break through only after being bathed in the blood of Jindan Zhenren.
But here, although the elixir that helps qi and blood is rare in the martial arts, it is not unique.
Yue Ting and Yuan Tao also got such an elixir, and with their own attainments, they were promoted to martial arts masters...... Before the two of them came to the Heavenly Imperial Blessed Land, it was actually equivalent to the level of the Willow River.
In addition, his righteous order seems to be extraordinary. ”
"Oh?" Zhuang Ming raised his eyebrows and said, "How?"
"In each place, the capital of the Zhongyuan realm, that is, the city of the Great Chu King, issued two orders, one positive and one pair, just like the official seal of our Dongsheng Dynasty. Fu Lao said: "Therefore, in every place, there are two supreme rulers, one is in charge of the main order, and the other is in charge of the deputy order, and I heard that this token is not only a token. ”
"Heard?" Zhuang Ming said indifferently: "What rumors have you heard?"
"Last year, in the 'Fang' land, the lord who was in charge of the deputy commander of the Fang land went to the disaster area due to the flood, and there were only four guards around him, and a tiger was half out, and those four guards were no match for the tiger. ”
Fu Lao said in a low voice: "But this deputy commander, when he took out the deputy order of Fang Di, he frightened the tiger back...... Among the locals, it is widely spread. ”
After a pause, Fu Lao said: "This kind of story is extraordinary, and it is said that the officials in various places are all officials of the imperial court, so everywhere, no demons, demons, ghosts, and ghosts dare to act recklessly and harm the common people." ”
Zhuang Ming nodded slightly, and said secretly in his heart: "The 'official seal' promulgated by the Great Chu King City of the Zhongyuan Realm is an existence like a magic weapon?"
