A female novel about traveling through a book? Learn about the power of the overlord at the beginnin

The head of the Zhou family was a little conflicted.

On one side was the new nobles around the King of Qi and his son's future, and on the other side was the deeply hidden, invisible terrorist force.

And now, he had to make a choice between the two.

Zhou Cheng saw his father's hesitation and felt a little disappointed.

He originally thought that as the son of the other party, facing such an opportunity, his father would definitely support him strongly.

If it was the eldest brother who was born out of wedlock, his father would not hesitate at all.

"Since this matter makes you, father, embarrassed, then Cheng'er will handle it himself."

Zhou Cheng felt a little sad, but because of this, he didn't want to miss this opportunity.

After seeing his son turn around and leave with a look of grief and anger, the head of the Zhou family suddenly came to his senses from his own contemplation.

"Come back!" The head of the Zhou family shouted,"You are so impatient when doing things, and you always show your temper to me."

Zhou Cheng's stubborn temper also came up:"Since you won't help me, I have to do it myself."

"you"

The head of the Zhou family felt itchy again.

But after thinking about it, he couldn't help but sigh.

Putting himself in his son's shoes, he also knew how important this opportunity was to his son.

It was true that the Zhou family had a lot of resources, but most of them would be used on legitimate children.

And the route of Commander Chu was undoubtedly the best choice for his illegitimate son.

Thinking of this, the head of the Zhou family softened his heart.

""Your father didn't say he won't help you, why are you so impatient?"

At this time, the head of the Zhou family also figured it out.

No matter how huge that hidden force is, it is just the people on the side of the prince.

Now that the Zhou family has made it clear that they want to side with the King of Qi, what is there to hesitate about?

If you offend the prince, you have to offend him. Since you have chosen to bet, you can't be timid.

Obviously, in the understanding of the head of the Zhou family, this hidden force is most likely on the side of the prince, in order to alienate the King of Qi and his important arm, that is, Commander Chu.

When Zhou Cheng heard that his father was going to take action, he no longer felt a little aggrieved, and he smiled for a while.

"Haha, I know that you love me the most, Dad."

"Come, let me give you a back massage. You have been chasing me for a long time. Don't get tired."

"Humph, stop talking so much to me."

Although the head of the Zhou family said this, his tone was no longer harsh.

After thinking for a while, the head of the Zhou family said,"Now, write a complaint letter and mention that it was instigated by the traitor to slander Commander Chu. Remember, you don't need to state that it was Chen Wei who did it."

"Then, after you sign it, take this complaint letter to those guards who have reported you privately and ask them to sign it one by one."

"Remember, if any guards are unwilling to sign, show that you don't need to force them. Use your own name and do not mention the task given to you by Commander Chu."

As if he had thought of something, the head of the Zhou family added:"This matter must be resolved quickly. These guards must sign at the same time within one day."

The reason why the head of the Zhou family said this was that he suddenly thought that if some people were given time to react, it might not be effective.

Maybe, when they react, they will pretend to be submissive and may not be able to distinguish the people who really have problems here.

Zhou Cheng heard this and said puzzledly:"Dad, what do you mean?"

"You just go ahead and do it." The head of the Zhou family did not explain the reason in depth."Remember, take this complaint letter directly and present it to His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi."

Zhou Cheng was also very smart. He seemed to have a vague sense of something, but he could not find the specific context.

However, he believed that his father would not harm him.

""Okay, I'll do it right away."

Zhou Cheng said goodbye and hurried back to the barracks.

As soon as he returned to the barracks, he summoned the guards who had reported him.

Now, he happened to be appointed as the captain of these people by Chu Heng, so it was legitimate to summon them.

"Zhou Cheng, you called us here, what on earth is going on?"

In recent days, the amount of military training has finally decreased a lot. Everyone wants to have a good rest. They are a little unhappy to be disturbed.

In addition, they are more or less envious of Zhou Cheng, who has taken the lead in becoming the captain.

In terms of family background, these people are actually not much different, so no one is inferior to anyone. So, they are not polite to this new captain in their tone.

"Brothers, I am grateful to the commander for his generosity and for not holding a grudge against us. I have thought about it and I must repay the commander for his kindness."

Zhou Cheng laid the groundwork and then stated his purpose:"Before, the elders of my family and I put pressure together, which almost caused a rift between the King of Qi and the commander of Chu."

"Zhou thought about it and realized that it was all because of that villain Chen Wei who was resentful of the commander for removing him from his position as deputy commander and instigated us to cause this."

"Now, Zhou has written a complaint letter, stating the whole process, and asks all brothers to sign it together so that it can be presented to the King of Qi to explain the misunderstanding."When the other guards heard this, they had different thoughts.

Some people thought about it and felt that what Zhou Cheng said did make some sense.

They remembered that when they were drinking before, Chen Wei had been guiding them and intensifying their hatred towards the leader.

But some people didn't think so, and one of them immediately retorted:"It is obvious that we can't stand the hardship, so we asked our family to ask for an explanation. What does it have to do with Deputy Commander Chen?"

"Deputy Commander Chen treated us well in the past, how could we do such a dirty thing behind his back."

Zhou Cheng understood what his father meant at this moment.

At that moment, he could not help but sneer and said,"I will not force you to sign. Now, those who are willing to sign, please come up and write it down. Those who are not willing can leave."

"this"

These people, of course, didn't know that Zhou Cheng had already been authorized by Chu Heng to deal with Chen Wei, and they thought that Zhou Cheng had privately made a complaint to please Chu Heng.

But these people were obviously not stupid. If they didn't sign at this time, they would be included in the unwelcome list in the future.

So, unexpectedly, these people who were called, even if they had some complaints, finally signed.

This surprised Zhou Cheng.

He thought that some of these people would be unwilling to sign.

If that was the case, he had just become the captain, and he just happened to use these people as a scapegoat to establish his own authority as the captain.

Seeing that everyone had signed, Zhou Cheng said directly:"In this case, Zhou will go and submit the complaint to His Royal Highness the King of Qi."

"Brother Zhou, there is no need to be so anxious. It is late today and I am afraid of disturbing His Royal Highness the King of Qi to rest. It is better to go tomorrow morning."

Zhou Cheng heard this and looked at this person meaningfully, but did not listen to his opinion:"It is better to do it sooner rather than later. I have made up my mind. Don't say more."

With that, Zhou Cheng took the complaint signed by everyone and left.

Zhou Cheng didn't know that as soon as he left, several places in the military camp passed on the news of this matter through different channels.

And all this was completely under the control of Chu Heng.

Soon, Chu Heng had the intelligence he had collected.

"Tsk, Li family, Zhang family, Luo family, Zhang family"

"This Royal Guard Camp is really riddled with holes."

These forces in the intelligence are the families of the Royal Guards who passed on the news through various means after Zhou Cheng left.
