Chapter 178 He can juggle five balls with his hands (Subscribe)
"I understand."
"This old man and Lord Longcheng can no longer talk."
"What a shame."
"Such a talent cannot be used by the Imperial Observatory."
Know it with reason, move it with emotion, and lure it with benefit.
All three tricks were used.
The Duke of Zhenguo never thought that anyone could block these three moves.
Because Chu Wujiang cannot agree with the political line of the Duke of Zhenguo, he will be more inclined to Fang Xiang's strategy.
The two have completely different political positions.
The Duke of Zhenguo had no choice but to say goodbye and keep Chu Wujiang in mind. If they really became enemies in the future, both sides would show their abilities.
Chu Wujiang said:
"Wait a minute, Lord Duke."
The Duke of Zhenguo was about to stand up, but paused for a moment.
What, have you changed your mind?
Chu Wujiang said in a deep voice:
"Just now, the Duke said that he liked this tea. This tea is called Da Hong Pao. It is specially made by the Chu family's Yunming Tea House and is never sold outside."
"Uncle Fu, take out all the red robes in the mansion and send them to the Duke's residence."
"No, this Yunming Tea House will be given to His Excellency the Duke."
The old butler quickly responded:
"Yes, master."
The Duke of Zhenguo stood up and looked at Chu Wujiang, a smile on his face:
"Lord Longcheng, I will not accept any reward without any merit."
"I'm afraid this tea house is unworthy of this and cannot afford it."
The Duke of Zhenguo could understand what Chu Wujiang meant.
He was unwilling to jump to the camp of the Duke of Zhenguo and stab the Mahayana Temple. Even if there was really something wrong with Master Beiku, Chu Wujiang did not want to come out to testify.
At the same time, Chu Wujiang did not want to have a bad relationship with Zhenguo Gong, so he gave the tea house as a gift to express his apology while retaining the possibility of cooperation.
Just because you want to give a gift, does the Duke of Zhenguo have to accept it?
For a big shot like him, people who wanted to give him gifts could line up all the way from Tianjing to Longzhou, but he was too lazy to even accept them, as it was just a tea house.
Chu Wujiang knew that the critical moment had come. He said in a deep voice:
"Your Excellency the Duke."
"I have witnessed countless farmers losing their land and becoming refugees. With food prices rising, they are left with nowhere else to go and eventually fall into the arms of the evil god."
"Can sacrificing small love for greater love really protect the human race?"
"Warriors are indeed the elite of the human race, but the foundation of the human race should not be just warriors."
"There are hundreds of millions of people living on this vast land. Only with such a huge base can more martial arts geniuses be born."
"In order to allow a small number of warriors to use spiritual rice to improve their realm, but forcing the common people into a desperate situation, I think it is cutting the feet to fit the shoes."
"At least, we shouldn't push the output of Lingmi so aggressively."
For example, a farmer like Ba Cheng can also awaken his golden eyes and become an outstanding talent.
Upon hearing this, the Duke of Zhenguo shook his head and said:
"Lord Longcheng is still too young after all."
"The era of demons is approaching step by step, and the time left for the human race is short."
"Prime Minister Fang claims to care about the people and wants to limit the production of spiritual rice, but that's just wishful thinking."
"Master Long Cheng should have seen how ordinary people behave when the evil god whispers to them."
"Small kindness and small justice cannot withstand great storms and waves."
A warrior who has mastered the art of physical training, not to mention being able to withstand the whispers of evil gods, at least the probability of him losing control and transforming into a flesh and blood monster will be greatly reduced, and he will also be able to resist the demons.
If it were someone else, the Duke of Zhenguo would not bother to say so much, but Chu Wujiang's luck could not be completely concealed even with the [Dragon's Concealment], which made the Duke of Zhenguo more interested.
Chu Wujiang was silent for a moment, then continued:
“What is small benevolence and small righteousness, and what is great benevolence and great righteousness, can only be proven by history.”
"Right or wrong, maybe it will take a long time for others to judge."
Upon hearing this, the Duke of Zhenguo couldn't help but look at Chu Wujiang again.
He has many adopted sons, and quite a few of them are skilled in martial arts and have outstanding talents. Four or five of them can make it onto the Hidden Dragon List.
But there was no one like Chu Wujiang who could look himself in the face and maintain his opinions in front of him.
Chu Wujiang didn't intend to discuss right or wrong. When he saw that the Duke of Zhenguo's expression had relaxed slightly, he took advantage of the situation and pursued him:
"No matter who is right or wrong, the Duke is also considering the human race, and I admire you." "As long as it does not violate the principles, I am willing to work for you, the Duke."
Chu Wujiang cannot defect and oppose Mahayana Temple. This is a matter of principle. In addition, due to their different political lines, he cannot join the political line of spreading Lingmi.
But in dealing with the demon era, he can reach a consensus and cooperate with the Duke of Zhenguo.
As the saying goes, seek common ground while reserving differences.
If Chu Wujiang was in Tianjing and deeply involved in the political struggle between the two sides, the Duke of Zhenguo would not consider any biased goodwill at all.
The problem is that Chu Wujiang is more inclined towards local tyrants, so he has a certain opportunity to play both sides.
He joined the Prince's Party, was inclined towards Yuanji Academy, supported Fang Xiang's policies, and was also willing to maintain goodwill towards the Zhenguo Mansion.
Chu Wujiang is just a local tyrant. He must have the ability to juggle five balls with both hands in order to find a suitable foothold in this terrifying political whirlpool.
Otherwise, you will end up like Uncle Zhongyong, who was crushed by a whirlpool.
The Duke of Zhenguo looked at Chu Wujiang with interest and chuckled:
"How do you serve me?"
The Duke of Zhenguo was attracted by Chu Wujiang's potential, amazing luck, and his ability to deal with him. In terms of strength, he was just a local tycoon.
Chu Wujiang said neither humbly nor arrogantly:
"To be honest with you, Lord Duke, I have two ghost kings and 20,000 ghost soldiers serving me, as well as many friends including Marquis Jingping and Marquis Zhenhai."
"Snow Girl, Mei'er."
Chu Wujiang gave an order, and at this time he had to let the Duke of Zhenguo see his strength so that he would not underestimate him.
Chu Wujiang did not want to be a lucky villain who profited from stabbing others in the back, but an important figure who played an important role in the local area.
As for the matter of the two ghost kings, the Duke of Zhenguo has not received any intelligence yet.
The Snow Girl and the Fire Meir appeared together, along with the ghost soldiers under their command.
"Yes, husband!"
The Chu Mansion suddenly became eerie, with all kinds of ghosts filling the entire mansion.
Two Yuanling-level ghost kings command 20,000 ghost soldiers. This force is enough to win respect in Tianjing.
The Duke of Zhenguo finally changed his expression.
If he had just looked at Chu Wujiang with an attitude that one should be feared for the future.
Now the Duke of Zhenguo began to consider whether the other party was worth winning over, even if his political line was different, at least he did not show absolute hostility.
The Duke of Zhenguo pondered for a moment, then suddenly clapped his hands and laughed:
"good, very good."
"It's really a terrible life."
"Si Tian Jian has tried hard for many years but still hasn't been able to grasp the true Ghost King."
"Right now, I really have something that I need your help with, Lord Longcheng."
Chu Wujiang immediately realized that the opportunity had come, and he quickly said:
"My Lord, please give me your orders."
"The Sitianjian monitors the situation at sea. This time when the mermaids come ashore, they will most likely choose Longzhou."
"I came to Longcheng to do two things. One is to collude with the Demon Palace by the Mahayana Temple, and the other is to get the mermaids ashore."
"It just so happens that Lord Longcheng has a ghost king under his command. We can unite with the nobles of Longzhou to encircle and suppress the mermaids this time."
"The reinforcements from the Sitianjian have other uses."
"Of course, I won't let Lord Longcheng work for nothing."
"Once you successfully defeat the mermaid and capture its ghost for me, this Champion Seal will be given to Lord Longcheng."
"Can it be done?"
The Duke of Zhenguo gave the task very straightforwardly. This time the mermen counterattacked with great momentum, and the Imperial Observatory was going to mobilize a large force to wipe them out completely.
Since Chu Wujiang dares to speak so arrogantly, let him try.
The Duke of Zhenguo was willing to take a gamble and use these troops elsewhere.
Chu Wujiang pondered for a moment:
"My Lord, military and national affairs should not be taken lightly."
"Chu is willing to accept the bet."
"But if the situation is urgent and I am unable to cope with it, I will still ask for help from the Imperial Observatory."
Chu Wujiang cannot put his own interests above the safety of the people of Longzhou.
If you can hold off the attack, then go and make some money. If you can't hold off the attack, then you should ask for help.
The Duke of Zhenguo showed a satisfied smile:
"Very good. I will accept the tea house."
"You want to have the best of both worlds, and I agree."
