Xu Fufu raised his eyebrows and his mouth twitched. Then, he immediately lowered his head. He could not participate in this topic, even though he supported his brother from the bottom of his heart.
The royal family was heartless, but his grandfather, the Cabinet Chief, was the number one fighter of the royal family … or at least the number two.
Therefore, there were many things that Xu Fufu could not say anything about.
Chu Mo raised his head and looked at Xu Zhongliang. He smiled and asked, "What does the Cabinet Chief want me to do?"
Xu Zhongliang squinted his eyes. He knew that the person in front of him was a cunning person. The slight change in the way he addressed him had already expressed Chu Mo's thoughts.
He did not even need to ask any more questions. He could only sigh and look at Chu Mo. "I hope that you will not betray Da Xia."
Chu Mo sat there and thought for a moment. Then, he smiled and said, "I will never betray Da Xia!"
"You know what I am talking about." Xu Zhongliang looked at Chu Mo.
Chu Mo laughed at himself. "Why? Does Grandpa Xu think that I am qualified to challenge the royal family?"
"Yes." Xu Zhongliang nodded without hesitation.
"Why?" There was a flame dancing in Chu Mo's eyes. He looked at Xu Zhongliang. "The grasslands?"
Xu Zhongliang nodded.
Chu Mo shook his head and smiled bitterly. "The soldiers in the grasslands are not mine. Even if they were, what could I do with them? They can't even defeat Da Qi … "
"They might not be able to do much in the hands of others. But in your hands, it's different." Xu Zhongliang said.
"Grandpa Xu, you think too highly of me. I am not that capable." Chu Mo let out a long sigh and leaned back in his chair. Then, he said, "Actually, I never had any strange thoughts. I didn't take the initiative to get the Hero Medal, nor did I take the initiative to be conferred the title of King. Even my grandfather's position as the March General was not something we took the initiative to ask for."
"But those are what you deserve," Xu Zhongliang said indifferently.
"Since it's what I deserve, I shouldn't think about the future anymore. This kind of feeling is very uncomfortable. It always gives me a feeling that these things … … were all forced by me with the will of the people. I always feel that the Emperor did not give them willingly, and then there are all kinds of suspicions. " Chu Mo laughed at himself and said, "I'm afraid that if the news of my grandfather marrying a wife gets out, the emperor will be even more uneasy, right?"
Xu Zhongliang was silent for a while before he finally nodded. "That's right. Actually, everyone knows that you will leave this world sooner or later. It's just a matter of time. Your teacher will definitely arrange a good path for you. And your grandfather is all alone. So, no matter how much he pampers you, in the end … it will still be Da Xia's. "
"But now … you've realized that things are different, right?" The disdainful smile on Chu Mo's face grew thicker as he said in a gloomy tone, "Especially if my grandfather gets married and has children, our clan will have a successor. The Emperor will be even more worried."
Xu Zhongliang nodded and did not deny it.
"So, at this time, if I beg Grandfather Xu to recognize my future grandmother as my younger sister, Grandfather Xu will have some misgivings, right?" Chu Mo asked straightforwardly.
Xu Zhongliang was silent for a while, but he still nodded and looked at Chu Mo with a calm expression. "Yes."
Xu Fufu sat at the side with a bitter smile on his face. He thought to himself, This brother of mine has already become so powerful? Alone … … he can already make the ruler of a country this afraid. If he had a few hundred thousand soldiers in his hands, wouldn't the Emperor be so scared that he wouldn't be able to eat and sleep in peace?
Chu Mo stood up and said, "Actually, when I first came here, although I understood these things, I didn't think about so many problems. Now that I've heard Grandfather Xu's words, I'm suddenly enlightened. Since that's the case … … Grandfather Xu, just pretend I never said anything about this. "
Xu Fufu was very anxious. He looked at Chu Mo and thought, Why did you still say this in the end?
Xu Zhongliang looked at Chu Mo and said, "Sit down first!"
Chu Mo smiled and said, "Grandfather Xu, I'm your junior. I also understand that in your heart, you are thinking for me. But ultimately, you are still the Cabinet Chief of Da Xia. I understand your thoughts, and also the Emperor's thoughts. Don't worry. Within a month, I will leave Yan Huang City. Not only me, but everyone related to me will also leave. I will go to my own fief …. And I will never return! "
As Chu Mo said this, he bowed deeply to Xu Zhongliang. "Thank you, Grandfather Xu, for taking care of this junior all these years. Please take care, Grandfather Xu!"
As he said this, Chu Mo looked at Xu Fufu and smiled. "Goodbye, my brother!"
"Sigh … …" Seeing that Chu Mo was about to leave, Xu Fufu panicked. He turned back and said angrily to Xu Zhongliang, "Grandfather! What mistake did Chu Mo commit? Just because he has too much credit? Just because he has too much potential in the future? As the ruler of a country, can't the Emperor be a little more magnanimous? Don't tell me that Chu Mo wants to usurp the throne? "
"Insolence!" Xu Zhongliang sat there without moving, but his aura exploded. Coldly, he looked at Xu Fufu. "If you dare to spout nonsense again, I will expel you from the Xu family!"
Xu Fufu was infuriated when he heard this. Although he had been most afraid of this grandfather since he was young, Xu Zhongliang's performance today had disappointed him. He had always felt that his grandfather was the most capable and responsible person in the world.
But from what he had seen and heard today, he had only seen a scheming politician in the court …. He was afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind. Most importantly, the feeling that this old man gave him was that he was on the Emperor's side!
This was the real reason that had infuriated Xu Fufu.
It was still the same sentence. He understood, but he could not accept it!
"Chu Mo has never done anything wrong. In Da Xia, he has contributed greatly to the country and the people! Without him, the Broken Heaven Mountain Range would have been lost, and the Qing State Capital would have been lost.... At this moment, the enemy would be attacking Yan Huang City with a crushing force! "Coldly, Xu Fufu looked at his grandfather." Usurp the throne? That's bullsh * t! If not for Chu Mo, Da Xia would have been destroyed! "
"Get lost! Get out of the Xu family! Don't ever come back! "Xu Zhongliang was enraged. He picked up a cup and threw it at Xu Fufu.
Xu Fufu stood there, not moving an inch.
With a smack, the cup landed on Xu Fufu's eyebrows. Fresh blood flowed from it.
"Keke, alright. I'll get lost then!" Xu Fufu's eyes were misty as he turned to leave.
From the start to the end, Chu Mo did not speak. After Xu Fufu rushed out, he looked deeply at Xu Zhongliang. And then, he saw a hint of helplessness in the eyes of this powerful old man.
Chu Mo smiled and did not say anything. He cupped his fists towards Xu Zhongliang. "Don't worry, Grandpa Xu. I will take good care of him!"
As he spoke, he turned to leave.
Xu Zhongliang did not speak. He only let out a sigh as a complicated light flashed across his deep and aged eyes.
