The Zhou family, a prominent family in Shandong, is a local wealthy family. Zhou Qi came from the Zhou family in Shandong. For Zhou Qi, he left his hometown since he passed away and has not returned to his hometown for so many years.

After so many years, he has not made many Mingtangs while traveling outside. This time he was able to enter Lu Zheng's palace and become Lu Zheng's confidant. His career was decent. Therefore, this time he returned home and returned home in glory!

"Prince, the Zhang family in Shandong is now a wealthy family. Over the years, the Zhang family has been engaged in trade with Dongyi and Goryeo in Shandong. After a few years of hard work, it has become very large now!" Zhou Qi said with great concern. He paused and continued:

"By the way, the Zhang family is now a woman. It's very strange that the woman is in charge of the family. This woman is called the Second Grandma Hua, and is said to be the most powerful figure in the No. 1..."

"Oh?" Lu Zheng was stunned for a moment, staring out the window for a long time and couldn't speak. Countless thoughts appeared in his mind. The Zhang family in Yangzhou was the starting point of Lu Zheng's life in this world. Hua Hanjun of the Zhang family, the extremely beautiful and extremely cruel woman, when Lu Zheng thought of her, his appearance could not help but appear in his mind. Thinking about all the things he had in Yangzhou that day, it was as if it had happened yesterday.

In a sense, the decline of the Zhang family in Yangzhou and Zhang family is also related to Lu Zheng. After all, Lu Zheng caused trouble in the capital at that time, and the Zhang family collapsed because of this reason. After the Zhang family, the Lu family, the Chen family and even the Gu family may collapse. However, luck made people so that only the Zhang family became cannon fodder.

"This time I go to Shandong not only to pay homage to Your Majesty, but also to meet old friends!" Lu Zheng murmured. Years have passed in a flash. Lu Zheng is no longer the boy on the Yangzhou River that day. Is the old friend still the old friend of the past?

...

It has been almost five or six days since the Central Plains, Bianzhou, and Qi Yuanzhi arrived in Shengjing. These five or six days are really exciting. Qi Yuanzhi feels that what he has experienced is from hell to heaven.

When Qi Yuanzhi first arrived in Bianzhou, Cao Weiming had a very bad attitude towards him. He was surrounded by strong hands and obviously wanted to prevent him from escaping. His posture clearly regarded Qi Yuanzhi as a crime!

But then Cao Weiming's attitude changed subtly. He brought Qi Yuanzhi to the Honglu Pavilion and took good care of his food and daily life very carefully. However, he shirked his responsibilities in every way and even avoided him most of the time.

From yesterday to today, Cao Weiming's attitude has changed tremendously, especially today, Cao Weiming has visited him three times!

Qi Yuanzhi sat upright on the chair, thinking in his mind. He now felt that Lu Zheng was speaking incisively. When he came, Lu Zheng said to him: "Yuanzhi, don't worry about going here, because there are no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, only eternal interests! Our Liaodong Army defeated the Northwest Army, and from then on the overall situation of the world will be earth-shaking. When you come to the Central Plains, you will definitely be able to hold Cao Weiming!"

Qi Yuanzhi was very nervous before coming, but after these days of situation, he became more and more confident in his heart, and naturally he was completely convinced by Lu Zheng's advice!

Cao Weiming was also the prince. He wore a python robe and a big belly and came in casually. Qi Yuanzhi stood up calmly, but bowed a little and said, "General Cao, how can I see you today? Is it not that our prince's words that made General Cao understand. General Cao is willing to cooperate with us in Liaodong?"

Cao Weiming grinned and said, "Your prince? I am not the prince? I am serving the king in the name of the emperor. I am currently in charge of the two provinces of the Central Plains. Liaodong and us are not the same world. If Lu Zheng can submit to my great cause, then everything is easy to say. Otherwise, Mr. Qi, you will be afraid that you will run away in vain this time!"

"Haha!" Qi Yuanzhi laughed and said, "General Cao, our prince has another word for me to bring to you. If General Cao is stubborn and insists on his own, when the spring is blooming, he will come to the Central Plains in person. However, if he is coming to the Central Plains, he will definitely follow 100,000 cavalry after him. There is no war in the north, and there is right and wrong in the Central Plains. Lord Cao, don't make it difficult for us prince!"

Cao Weiming's face changed. There were several guards standing behind him. One of them stood up and shouted angrily: "Bold, you dare to talk to my prince like this. You are seeking death!"

A kind of guard surrounded Qi Yuanzhi. Qi Yuanzhi was fearless and said, "You guys, are you talking here? I'm saving your master's life. Humph, don't know what you are doing, get out of here!"

Qi Yuanzhi rebuked him angrily, and his tone was so stern. Cao Weiming stared at him for a long time, raised his hand with a gloomy face and said, "Go down!"

The guards retreated together, and Cao Weiming's face was still ugly. He said, "Qi Yuanzhi, do you really think that a few words can scare me? This king can be considered a battle on the battlefield for half his life. I have never seen any big scenes. Can you scare me with just a few words of intimidation?"

Qi Yuanzhi said lightly: "General Cao, the Central Plains is not peaceful. To the east, there is a capital city Tan Lei staring at him. Tan Lei's men are all tigers and wolves. If he wants to take the Central Plains, the general may not be able to stop it!

The general wanted to borrow the power of Longyou, but since the defeat of Liaodong, Song Naifeng of Longyou suffered a wind disease, was sick in bed, half of his body was paralyzed, and the entire northwest was in chaos. His two sons are now facing each other and are ready to fight. It is obvious that they want to fight for control of Longyou. They are too busy to take care of themselves, and they still have the ability to worry about the Central Plains?"

Qi Yuanzhi bowed and said, "But our prince is different. The prince and Princess Long Lingxiu have an agreement that he can let Princess Long Lingxiu lead elite troops south at any time to defend the eldest son. In this way, Zhongyuan can have more power, which is a constraint for Tan Lei, and for General Cao, it is also very beneficial at the moment. In this way, the general still feels that our prince has no means?"

Cao Weiming's face changed, and he had known about Long Lingxiu's going south for a long time, because Long Zhaoyan was obsessed with it! Long Zhaoyan has been very panicked since he left the capital. On the one hand, he was worried that Tan Lei would be angry and sent troops to attack him. On the other hand, he heard about Cao Weiming's infamous and was worried that he would leave the tiger's mouth and fall into the wolf's nest again, so he really hoped to join forces with Long Lingxiu.
