Mule, Shi Yihao and others retreated.

Zhang Chu and Liang Yuanchang were the only ones left in the Rising Sun Palace.

Zhang Chu let out a long breath, leaned on the big chair, and put his legs on the desk.

Liang Yuanchang also pulled up a chair and placed it in front of him, crossing his legs with his hands on his abdomen and looking up at the top of the beams of the Rising Sun Palace in trance.

They have a lot to say.

But no one was in a hurry to speak...

The scene was very similar to those frustrated business owners who had just finished a passionate pep rally for their employees, but as soon as they returned to the office, they threw themselves on the boss's chair in despair and smoked one cigarette after another.

After a long while, Liang Yuanchang said softly: "Today, this is not like your style of doing things."

When he spoke, his eyes were still looking at the top of the beam.

Zhang Chu didn't look at him and replied directly: "There is no way, there are an extra 150,000 troops all of a sudden. I have to test the thoughts of the people below. Don't worry about anything outside. They have already prepared my royal robe for me and are waiting for me."

Waving the flag..."

If these words come from someone else.

Liang Yuanchang would definitely not believe it.

But it came out of Zhang Chu’s mouth.

he believe.

Because Zhang Chu had approached him more than once to discuss the handover of the position of leader of the Peking Alliance.

He estimated that if the world had not been so corrupted, Taipingguan would not be able to do without Zhang Chu, and the Beiping Alliance would not be able to do without Zhang Chu.

This guy has long since given up and ran away...

"Disappointed?"

Liang Yuanchang asked.

Zhang Chu tilted his head, stared at the gloomy sky outside the hall, and sighed: "A bit... If you want to talk about mule, Da Liu and Zhang Meng, they have this kind of idea, that's it, why does even the Shi family want to join in?

Where is this fun?"

Just now he asked what the Peiping Alliance should do next.

Mule Zi and Zhang Meng's idea, overtly or covertly, was to take advantage of the chaos to expand the army and accumulate food.

As for those two bastards of the Shi family, their idea was to take advantage of the chaos to grab money and territory, both overtly and covertly.

On the surface, no one mentioned rebellion.

However, from beginning to end, no one mentioned anything and took the initiative to move closer to the court...

It already shows everything!

It is true that the Peiping League is a Jianghu force.

It’s true that Zhang Chu is the deputy leader of the Grand Alliance.

But now that the Beiping Alliance has more than 200,000 troops, it can still be protected by the unspoken rule of "the rivers and lakes return to the rivers and lakes, and the court returns to the court."

If you want long-term peace and stability, continue to establish yourself in Kyushu.

We can only actively move closer to the court...

The meaning of getting closer to the imperial court does not mean that the imperial court must reward him with an official position as Zhang Chu or something like that.

Rather, it means that one must take a stand.

Alternatively, it is also feasible to hand over some of the troops and horses to the court to clarify the will.

otherwise.

When the imperial court frees up its hands, it will definitely deal with the Peking Alliance!

But no one mentioned this.

Could it be that Shi Yihao and Mule are both stupid? Can't they see the real crisis in the Beiping Alliance right now?

How can they get to where they are now? How can there be such a fool!

Just pretending to be confused...

"Who doesn't want to follow the dragon's merits?"

Liang Yuanchang said calmly: "You have had enough of being the leader of the Peking Alliance. Do you want to retreat bravely? This is your business? You can't force everyone to cherish blessings as you do? How many people who run around in the world don't want to stand out? Don't want to make a name for themselves? But

Now that you are sitting in this seat, they can't beat you and can't compete with you? They can only hope that if you take another step forward, they can also rise with the tide..."

Zhang Chu laughed angrily at his words: "Based on what you mean, am I blocking their way?"

Liang Yuanchang finally lowered his eyes and looked at him meaningfully and said, "You were already blocking their way."

Zhang Chu said nothing.

After another long silence? Liang Yuanchang spoke again: "Have you ever thought about it? Why have you come to this point? It's obvious that you don't even want to sit down as the leader of the Peking Alliance..."

Zhang Chu really hasn't thought about this problem.

He pondered for a long time and said jokingly: "Is it possible that I am too successful? Those who have gained the truth will help me more?"

Liang Yuanchang thought for a while, nodded and said: "This should be considered part of it, right?"

"Part of it?"

Zhang Chu asked in confusion: "Then what else do you think?"

Liang Yuan looked at him and said seriously: "In my opinion, destiny is yours!"

This topic...

It's just too heavy.

Zhang Chu was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said word by word: "Fuck, God's fate!"

Liang Yuanchang looked at him with eyes as if he were looking at an angry young man. He chuckled and said, "I know you won't admit it. But this thing, how should I put it, isn't yours? You can't fight for it, it is."

It’s yours, you can’t escape!”

Zhang Chu smiled disdainfully.

Liang Yuanchang: “Don’t believe it?”

Zhang Chu: "Of course I don't believe it."

"Well."

Liang Yuanchang sat upright and said seriously: "Let's take a look."

"Don't you want to retire from the world?"

"Can!"

"You can take your siblings and leave now!"

"After you leave, I will disband the Honghua Department and hand over the Zhenbei Army to the imperial court."

"With your connections and power, as long as the Honghua Department and the Zhenbei Army are gone, I, Liang Yuanchang, can still defend Taiping Pass!"

"But without the ties of Taipingguan, can you really live the kind of peaceful life you want?"

"Li Zheng, do you care?"

"Do you care about your eldest sister and the others?"

"If the northern barbarians knock on your door, do you care?"

"The sand people have taken over the Nine Provinces and enslaved the people of the Nine Provinces. Do you care?"

Zhang Chu was silent, but he was also thinking about whether he would care if the world turned out to be what Liang Yuanchang said.

Liang Yuan hadn't finished his long story: "The debate between heroes making the times and times making heroes has been going on for thousands of years. No one can come to a conclusion yet about who is right and who is wrong."

"But you, I think times make heroes..."

"God has spotted you and wants you to clean up this mess!"

"You don't have to retreat!"

"There's no way to escape!"

Zhang Chu was silent for a long time, let out a long sigh, and said, "Elder brother, why are you telling me this?"

He doesn't want to hear this.

If he didn't listen to this, he might still be an ostrich.

After hearing this, the last hope in his heart was almost extinguished.

It's not destiny.

He still didn't believe it.

If God had eyes, how could he allow a person like Huo Qing to live until now?
