Kuang Tianyou was silent for a while, a blush of blood surged on his pale and handsome face, and a deep hatred and unwillingness reflected in his pupils.

"Mr. Meng, do you know what it means to be exiled to Jianan Pass?"

Before Meng Zhao could answer, he had already said to himself,

"It means that the family power has gone from a wealthy family to a crime that is inferior to ordinary farmers. It means that the descendants of the family, from generation to generation, can only live in this world as sinners, cannot be an official, and cannot appear openly in places other than Jiananguan, which means that we are a group of mice living under the impression of the same world.

Perhaps, we can still live a life of surviving life and dreaming of death in Guanzhong, Jianan, but do you think such a life is what we want?”

Poor people may be willing to live such a life, after all, they are not short of money or enjoyment. Such a life is already perfect.

But it is absolutely unacceptable for people who have extremely high identities and status in the past to this point.

What is money? Money is a bastard. Compared to power, compared to his eye-catching and solemn status, sometimes money is really not very good at it.

Otherwise, the master of this world would be merchants, not these nobles and wealthy families.

Meng Zhao realized in a daze that the Kuang family and perhaps some forces united with the Kuang family. Their original intention was to step out of Guanzhong, Jianan and regain the identity of guiding the country in the past, without dying in that barren and difficult place with their crimes.

"It's understandable, but aren't you afraid of failure again? You are optimistic about the Ninth Prince. Perhaps, in the future, you will be disturbed by the battle for the throne. The dangers of your family, as you, should know better and more clearly than me!"

"Hahaha, Brother Meng, you have never experienced the fall and gap between our family from heaven to hell, and you will not experience the fire in our hearts.

If we cannot leave the Jianan Pass and cannot restore our past identity and status, we would rather disappear in this world from now on.

Of course, we have already set up a backup plan, and the survival of blood is inevitable. However, they will not know that they are from the Kuang family, and in the future, they will only spend their lives as ordinary people.

In fact, there are so many foolproof places in this world. Only by seeing opportunities and seizing them can you succeed, otherwise there will be no possibility of success."

"You may not know that we have learned a lot from the Ninth Prince and have observed it for a long time. It is his positive performance this time that has made us make up our minds, follow him and build some achievements. If the Ninth Prince can become a treasure in the future, many of us can use this to rise to the top. Getting rid of this embarrassing identity is only one of them, and maybe we can go further.

Even if you fail, you will be just a death. It may be a relief for us."

Meng Zhao nodded, raised his glass solemnly, and toasted Kuang Tianyou with a glass of wine. He still admired this spirit very much.

"But, in my opinion, not everyone is like this, right? For example, if the people who were ambushed and assassinated just now came for Brother Kuang, I guess I don't want to see you do this!"

Struggle is a very realistic situation. From small families to large countries, as long as there are people, struggle is inevitable, ideological conflicts are inevitable, and mutual dislikes are inevitable.

Although Meng Zhao admired the spirit of a group of people who were dissatisfied with the status quo, some people might enjoy it.

If there are people with kindness and ambition, there are naturally people with deer and rat brains.

Kuang Tianyou did not hide this fact.

"What Mr. Meng said is right. Not only in Jianan Pass, some people do not want to have conflicts with the outside world, especially the royal forces. Even our family actually has two completely different opinions.

However, this is not a big problem. If those who oppose it can gain the upper hand, then there will be no such thing as Kuang coming to see Mr. Meng today."

"After saying so much, I wonder if Mr. Meng can give me a correct statement? Even if the Meng family does not intend to vote for the Ninth Prince, then as an individual, how did Mr. Meng plan?

Although the position of Nan'anbo is honorable, the young master's uncle has two biological sons, and one of them will inherit the title. If you want to do something in the court, I think it is better for the young master to consider and plan more."

In fact, Meng Zhao agreed with this statement very much. For example, the Meng family has a close relationship with the Kong family, and has a close relationship with Baitoushan, one of the thirteen families. They also have in-laws. The more complex and more relationships, it actually means that the deeper the background, the more stable the status, and the greater the benefits they get.

Even if you don’t hang out in the court, you have a legitimate favor. The popular and powerful prince will escort behind the scenes and work hard in the world. You will solve countless troubles and save countless energy.

But Meng Zhao was still determined and shook his head and said,

"Brother Kuang, let me tell you the truth. I have no plans to serve the Ninth Prince, and I don't plan to hang out in the court for the time being. After all, the war in the south is in full swing, and the inside story is complicated. Some things are not as simple as you imagine.

I suggest that even if you are willing to leave Jianan Pass, it is best to wait for a while and make plans until the situation is clear."

Kuang Tianyou was really disappointed this time. He could see the strong and firm side of Meng Zhao's character. If he made up his mind, generally speaking, he would not change his mind easily.

Of course, he didn't agree with Meng Zhao's suggestions, saying good things, but he could wait, and some old guys couldn't wait.

"Young Master Meng's kindness is appreciated. Although we have not reached an agreement, we finally got to know each other and had a good conversation. From now on, I will serve ten jars of tribute wine every year, which is a little bit of my heart. Please don't refuse."

Meng Zhao laughed, and his fair and handsome face was indescribable and romantic.

"Of course I won't refuse. Even if there is no ninth prince, it will not affect our friendship or even cooperation, right?"

Kuang Tianyou was stunned and quickly realized that although Meng Zhao was not interested in the ninth prince, he seemed to be very interested in Jianan Pass and their Kuang family.

"Why, Mr. Meng wants to establish connections and relationships with people from Guanzhong, Jianan?"

Meng Zhao nodded,

"I will leave the house soon and work hard on my own business and need manpower. What I said before has touched me. You have the least shortage of people. This is the time for employed people. Isn't it a great cooperative relationship?

Moreover, I have my back on the Meng family and hold a large amount of financial resources. I believe that this is a matter of mutual benefit. Brother Kuang might as well think about it carefully."

Kuang Tianyou was disappointed, his gloomy mood relieved a lot, and a smile appeared on his pale face.
