Chapter 1 The Crown Prince

  Finally, Zou Yun led his family members including Zou Fang out of General Zu's mansion and came to see Chen Guang.

  "Master Zizhong." Chen Guang was very pleased and bowed to Mo Zhu.

  "Your Excellency." Zou Ji's heart was filled with hatred for this eunuch, but now he was in a precarious situation. If he didn't want to invite disaster, he could only swallow his pride and compromise.

  So, with a smile, he bowed and said goodbye.

  "Master Zizhong, you're too kind, too kind." This made Chen Guang somewhat flustered, and he hastily got down from the carriage to help up Mo Zhu. He said with a mixture of fear and respect: "You are an honored guest in front of His Highness, and highly praised by him. I'm just a humble slave, fortunate enough to have left the palace to serve as a heavenly envoy for once. I don't dare accept such great courtesy from you, sir."

  This is the truth. Chen Guang, as Liu Xie's confidant, was also very clear about Liu Feng's abilities. Although he looked young in age, his sharp and decisive personality was chilling to others.

  He really doesn't dare to slack off.

  Chen Guang's attitude was surprisingly amiable, leaving Zou Zhu stunned, but he also obtained a useful piece of information: it seemed that the Crown Prince had immense power.

  Even this angel is awe-inspiring. In other words, he went to do what the crown prince's groom did, and it was estimated that he could get by without being bullied.

  Thinking of this, I feel a little more at ease.

  "The angel spoke again, I'm just a minor official after all." He thought to himself, and with a calm expression, he replied to Chen Guang.

  "Hehe, the Crown Prince's groom is not a minor official. If one day the Crown Prince rises to power, you will be an old minister of the Eastern Palace." Chen Guang smiled and said nonchalantly.

  Cao Cao smiled, but in his heart he didn't think much of it. The dragon is still flying high. Liu Xie is just a puppet, even if Liu Feng sits on the throne, he's still just a puppet.

  What an old minister of the Eastern Palace, alas.

  Chen Guang did not know that Zou Zhuang had such a low opinion of Liu Feng, and if he knew, he would definitely whip him with a leather belt to teach him a lesson.

  He is indeed born with blessings but doesn't know it.

  It's okay, Chen Guang didn't know. After a few more intimate conversations with Mi Zhu, he ordered the departure. First, he arranged for Mi Zhu's family to move into the mansion prepared by Liu Feng.

  This mansion still belongs to the Fu family. The new mansion of Mi Zhu is also next to the mansion where Zhao Yun's family is arranged, and the two families are very close.

  It is also convenient for Zhao Yun's family to be monitored. Liu Feng was also afraid that Zou Ji would escape when he was not paying attention.

  After arranging for Mi Zhu's family, Chen Guang took Mi Zhu into the Crown Prince's palace to see Liu Feng.

  On this day, two big men in Liu Bei's camp came to see Liu Feng one after another. These two people are all recorded in the Records of the Three Kingdoms, Jian Yong, Mi Zhu and others, all phoenixes and world-renowned, as superior scholars.

  They were all unknown in history but very important figures.

  The previous time, Liu Feng did not treat Jian Yong with courtesy and even had him eat a closed-door meal. However, when Zou Jizhong arrived, the situation was different.

  Liu Feng ordered the palace gates to be opened wide and had Zhao Yun stand at the gate to welcome Mi Zhu.

  When Zuo Ci arrived at the gate of the Crown Prince's palace, Zhao Yun was wearing bright armor and a long sword at his waist, standing firmly in front. The maids and eunuchs on both sides came to greet him.

  That grand scene left Mo Zhu in a state of utter astonishment.

  According to Jian Yong, it was because of the closed-door banquet. As soon as he arrived, it became this scene. However, Zou Jiazi had also seen a lot of big scenes and quickly recovered from his shock, walking up.

  "General Zi Long, I have come to report back to the Crown Prince." Chen Guang said as he stepped forward to see Zhao Yun.

  "General Chen, please." Zhao Yun bowed his fist to Chen Guang without any delay.

  Chen Guang smiled and nodded, then turned around and left.

  "Master Zizhong."

  "General Zi Long."

  Zhoa Yun and Mi Zhu gazed at each other for a moment, then exchanged greetings. Both of them felt some emotion, as Zhao Yun had previously been on good terms with Liu Bei, but was now a general under Liu Feng's command, making him an enemy of Liu Bei.

  Mi Zhu was originally a senior minister under Liu Bei's account, but now he has no choice but to be under the account of Liu Feng.

  It's just a matter of January and February, and the world is unpredictable. Because Zhao Yun and Liu Bei are enemies, it indirectly led to Mi Zhu becoming what he is now.

  So after they met, both of them felt a bit awkward.

  Finally, they were unable to catch up with each other. Zhao Yun then said: "The lord has been waiting for a long time in the hall, please enter."

  "Please." Zou Yun nodded and walked in. Zhao Yun followed him.

  Inside the palace, Liu Feng, who had received the news one step ahead, dressed neatly and put on all his ceremonial attire. The crown, coronation robe, etc., sat with a dignified posture, full of imperial majesty.

  Before, Guan Yu had never seen Liu Feng before and only heard about his absurd behavior from Liu Bei's mouth. Now that he saw Liu Feng for the first time, he suddenly felt a big difference from what he imagined.

  If it's about appearance, demeanor and temperament, this person in front of us is absolutely a crown prince who can be entrusted with the country and its people.

  "Your humble servant greets Your Highness, the Crown Prince." Only slightly glancing at Liu Feng, Zou Jue bowed and said. As Zou Jue still held a position as an attendant, he could refer to himself as "minister".

  Liu Feng raised his eyes to look at Zou Jue, this was a movement Liu Feng often made, actually due to his short stature, he had no choice but to raise his head to look at people. However, when Liu Feng looked up at people, it wasn't with a humble gaze, not only was it not humble, but rather gave people a sense of being superior and overbearing.

  That aura is rarely seen on ordinary people. Let alone an eight-year-old child, at this moment, Zou's heart actually felt a few points of real reverence for the crown prince in front of him.

  The royal majesty did not intimidate him, but that gaze did. As soon as the fear rose, Mou Zhi's heart skipped a beat.

  A glint of sharpness flashed in his eyes, and then quickly disappeared.

  This subtle expression was captured by Liu Feng. Liu Feng's sizing up of Zou Ji was actually him considering what kind of face to put on when facing Zou Ji.

  Liu Feng wants to take Xudu, he needs money. To have money, someone has to come forward and help him collect land taxes. Zou Jing is not only the person Liu Feng wants to defeat Liu Bei's purpose but also the talent Liu Feng needs.

  Great merchant.

  So Mi Zong is very important. For an important person, the best way is to show his true face, and directly display his ambition in front of Mi Zong.

  Just like recruiting Zhao Yun. But Mi Zhuo is a man full of uncertainty, this guy is not Zhao Yun, he is a person without any power affiliation.

  Mi Zhu was taken from Liu Bei's hands by clever means. His loyalty is zero. Can Mi Zhu really prostrate himself on the ground just because Wang Ba's aura has been released?

  It's impossible. What Liu Feng had in mind was like tying his head to his belt and rebelling, so he had to be careful. After some thought, Liu Feng decided to first secretly control Zuo Si.

  Using strength to bully the weak, for now temporarily use Zou Yu. Wait until another day when we have taken Xudu, then we can again subdue them.

  When Liu Feng saw the fleeting glint in Mao Zhu's eyes, he became even more determined. This guy was a shrewd person and couldn't reveal half a trace of weakness.
