Gao Wu Da Qin: You don’t want the secret to be known, right?
Chapter 437 Today's hexagram, wind and thunder encourage 3 waves, Yi Xiang Fei
Then there is no more then.
The special envoy immediately removed Chen Sheng from his position as chairman, personally stepped in, closed the door and sent bodyguards.
After a lot of hard work, I successfully completed the task for that month.
As for Chen Sheng, the special envoy did not dare to make things difficult for him.
Wu Guang is Chen Sheng's biological brother, and now he holds a high position of power. If you kill his brother, he will come back to kill your entire family.
Fortunately, Chen Sheng was arranged to work as an administrator at the Daze Township Library.
After Chen Sheng was forced to resign, the environment of the entire Daze Township plummeted, and there were complaints about the special envoys and other officials sent by the King of Chu.
However, Chen Sheng was relatively restrained in this regard.
From Chen Sheng's perspective, his every word and action was linked to his brother Wu Guang.
Wu Guang is Xiang Yu's subordinate, and Xiang Yu and the King of Chu are allies. Although I have great disagreements with the King of Chu, for the sake of my brothers, I cannot do anything against the King of Chu, as this will implicate my brother Wu Guang.
So, no matter how much outsiders make a fuss, Chen Sheng has always kept his distance from it.
But this world does not mean that you can be a good person just because you want to.
Chen Sheng's former colleagues in the Seven Stars Chamber of Commerce had their families destroyed by the officials of the King of Chu, and were about to flee to the ends of the earth.
At this moment, these former social elites and powerful leaders all want to rebel.
But resistance must always have a leader, a program, and a reason.
So these people quickly targeted Chen Sheng.
There is no other reason. Chen Sheng has the highest prestige in the Dazexiang star field. In addition, Chen Sheng himself is fair in his work, benevolent, righteous and decisive, and is very loved and supported by others.
As long as we get Chen Sheng to join us, half of the task will be accomplished!
Among them was a guy named Ge Ying.
Ge Ying is a man with a complicated background. When he was young, he traveled around and visited various schools of thought in order to get a diploma. However, he had no family background and no resources but no looks. He was a person with nothing, nothing and nothing. After many years, he cannot be said to have achieved nothing. He can be considered a veteran.
After turning thirty, Ge Ying felt so miserable living outside that he returned to his hometown in Daze Township.
After returning home, Ge Ying packaged himself based on his knowledge outside, saying that he was a Taoist descendant, had learned Taoist psychology, and had met the famous Taoist master Yu Ji Zi several times.
It is said that when you are away from home, your identity is given by yourself, and when you return to your hometown, your identity is packaged by yourself.
However, his hometown Daze Township has developed rapidly in recent years. In this age of advanced information, there is no such thing as a country bumpkin. Ge Ying's second-hand identity is obviously a bit far-fetched. He has no where to live in Daze Township. He can only set up fortune-telling stalls everywhere and occasionally act as a storyteller to make a living.
This time, Ge Ying saw hope.
After so many years of wandering outside, Ge Ying quickly won over a large number of local gentry leaders who had been suppressed in various ways, and encouraged them to rise up and rebel against the King of Chu!
Moreover, Ge Ying took the initiative to recommend Chen Sheng as the leader to lead us to fight against the King of Chu!
After all, Chen Sheng has a great reputation and a powerful background!
Everyone agreed with Ge Ying's idea, but how to get Chen Sheng to join?
Ge Ying chuckled and said, there are two ways, one is appeasement, the other is coercion.
The conciliatory method is very simple. I will go to Chen Sheng and persuade him to rebel.
Chen Sheng would most likely not agree.
At this time, coercion is needed. We need to fabricate some evidence that Chen Sheng colluded with Qin to rebel against Chu, hand it over to the special envoy, and then spread the news. If Chen Sheng does not rebel, he will have no way out, and now with my persuasion, Chen Sheng will most likely rebel.
With such strategies, we have to say that Ge Ying has not been living off the land all these years, and there is some wisdom involved.
The local gentry leaders in Daze Township all agreed with Ge Ying's suggestion and said that as long as Chen Sheng was dealt with, they would revolt at any time!
Although Ge Ying agreed verbally and told everyone to follow his gaze, everything was going as planned and it was 100% guaranteed to succeed!
But in fact, Ge Ying himself had no idea at all.
Who is Ge Ying? A second-rate underworld broker.
Who is Chen Sheng? He is the most prestigious person in Daze Township.
The two of them are not from the same circle at all, and Ge Ying has no right to talk to Chen Sheng.
Ge Ying could only be patient and wait for his opportunity.
As the saying goes, those who work hard will benefit those who don’t, and Chen Sheng finally got the chance to meet Chen Sheng.
A month later, "The Light of the Beginning" suddenly became a hot-selling book. Even in a place like Daze Township, there were only ten limited editions.
When faced with [The Light of the Beginning], most ordinary gentry would send someone to buy it. However, Chen Sheng was an approachable and ordinary person. He did not like the ways of the powerful and wealthy, and preferred to buy it himself.
So Ge Ying set up a fortune-telling stall opposite the library early and waited for Chen Sheng to visit.
Soon some curious people surrounded Ge Ying.
Ge Ying was wearing a Taoist robe and muttering something.
"A bird in a cage cannot be free. It is difficult for people with this hexagram to get ahead. They cannot make money as they wish, and they will be troubled by gossip and rumors."
"This year, the White Tiger is sitting on your head. If there is no disaster, there will be misfortune. The biggest event will be a lawsuit. You can't avoid losing money and getting angry."
"A bright moon shines in the water. My plan fails and I feel guilty. I think it is a treasure and go down to touch it. But I find nothing."
"..."
"The Taoist priest is effective!"
"The Taoist priest hit the nail on the head. We all admire him deeply."
"Master, what should we do next?"
It has to be said that Ge Ying's fortune-telling by weighing bones is quite tricky. For a moment, the people surrounding Ge Ying were all amazed and exclaimed that it was so effective.
Ge Ying waited quietly, and finally, Chen Sheng, dressed in ordinary clothes, was about to pass by in front of him.
Seeing this, Ge Ying said in a long voice, "It is unbearable for a tiger to fall into a trap. It is difficult to move forward or backward. If your plans are not fulfilled, your fate will be miserable. You will be implicated in unnecessary gossips."
Chen Sheng did not stop, but walked straight past Ge Ying and was about to go home.
Ge Ying was confused. What the hell, I called you, why didn’t you stop? Why didn’t you play according to the rules?
Ge Ying had no choice but to chase after Chen Sheng and said, "Brother, please stay!"
Chen Sheng looked at the fortune teller who blocked his way, his eyes as calm as water, "Sir, I don't believe in Taoist gods and ghosts. I am a firm believer in materialistic science. I don't think we have anything in common."
Facing Chen Sheng's words, Ge Ying took out a physics book on the origin of all things from his arms like a magic trick, "To be honest, I am also a believer in science! I think we will have something in common."
Chen Sheng did not continue to play a trick with Ge Ying, but said directly, "Your name is Ge Ying, right? I have heard of you. You have been studying abroad for twenty years and have achieved great success. Some time ago, you came to my men and wanted to see me, but you were rejected."
Seeing Chen Sheng's direct statement, Ge Ying did not try to hide it and simply said, "Master Chen, Ge Ying has something to say to you. Please listen to me."
Chen Sheng walked around Ge Ying and headed out. "I'm not interested and I don't want to listen."
Seeing this, Ge Ying gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Chen Sheng! If you continue to be a coward, you will be thrown into prison next!"
Chen Sheng still didn't look back.
Ge Ying added, "Your brother Wu Guang will also be thrown into prison!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Sheng stopped in his tracks.
Chen Sheng looked back at Ge Ying, whose beard and hair were flying, and then looked at the crowd of onlookers. He frowned and pointed to the teahouse next to him, "Let's go in and talk!"
Ge Ying finally breathed a sigh of relief, as he thought the matter had been messed up!
Fortunately, his bet was right. Chen Sheng didn't care about his safety, but he cared about the safety of his brother Wu Guang.
Ge Ying followed Chen Sheng to the teahouse. As they walked in the hall, he changed his Taoist robe into an ordinary person's attire and then walked into the tea room.
Chen Sheng sat in the main seat in the tea room and did not touch the tea. He just looked at Ge Ying coldly, making no effort to hide his murderous intention towards Ge Ying.
Ge Ying also felt his face turn cold. This Chen Sheng was definitely not some good man. The fact that he could become the president of the Seven Star Mining Association and be supported by so many people was definitely not just because he had a strong background and a powerful brother. It had a lot to do with his vicious style of doing things.
Those who work in the mining industry are always among the most powerful local tyrants and bullies, no matter what era. To put it bluntly, if you are not from the underworld, you are not worthy of making a living in the mining industry.
If you want to be the president or the boss of these people, you won't be able to stand firm unless you are more ruthless than them.
Chen Sheng had killed people, and killed a lot of people, but Chen Sheng's level of killing was very high, and he was on the Godfather level.
Ge Ying knew that if his answer could not satisfy Chen Sheng, Chen Sheng would find someone to kill him when he went out.
Ge Ying sat opposite him, looked at Chen Sheng, and said directly, "Sir, Master Wu Guang's situation is much more dangerous than you think!"
Chen Sheng asked, "Really? How dangerous is it?"
Ge Ying said, "Everyone knows that more than half a month ago, Lord Xiang Yu gave the thirty-six cities of New Jiangdong to Master Wu Guangda. On the surface, it seemed that he trusted Master Wu Guangda and gave him power."
“But this is a disaster!”
"Now, you and I, the people in the martial arts world, all know that the King of Chu wants to run the Pangu Universe, and the best place for the King of Chu's royal family to settle down is in the Northern Territory!"
"Among the Northern Territory, the thirty-six cities of New Jiangdong are the best developed, second only to Wuzong's base camp, Wudi City!"
"The King of Chu has always wanted thirty-six cities, but Xiang Yan has never been willing to give them to him."
"The conflict between the two sides is acute, but they cannot really fall out."
"Without the King of Chu, Xiang Yan will not be able to support Xiang Yu's military operations. Once Xiang Yu is defeated by Han Xin and the local forces of Tianzhu, Jiangdong will be finished, and the Xiang clan will be finished too!"
"The King of Chu cannot lose the Xiang Clan. The King of Chu has no roots in the Jiehai. If he loses the Xiang Clan, he will lose his way out."
"In this case, the focus of the game between the two sides is the rights to the thirty-six cities of New Jiangdong."
"The King of Chu wants more cities, and Xiang Yan doesn't give them to him, so small-scale controllable friction will inevitably break out!"
"And just at this time, Xiang Yu led his army to leave the Thirty-Six Cities and gave all the cities to Wu Guang!"
"Isn't this the same as throwing a hot potato directly to General Wu?"
Ge Ying analyzed it for a moment, and Chen Sheng immediately put away his murderous eyes. He sat upright in front of the stage, his eyes diffusing, "As you said, what will happen next?"
Seeing this, Ge Ying heaved a sigh of relief and continued, "According to my deduction, the King of Chu will send his forces to engage in a small-scale battle with Xiang Yan in the Northern Territory, and General Wu Guang, as the chief officer, will definitely have to fight."
"Then, there will be three situations in the battle."
"In the first result, the King of Chu wins and Xiang Yan loses. All thirty-six cities will belong to the King of Chu. General Wu will become a scapegoat and be sentenced to death if he loses thirty-six cities."
"The second result is that the King of Chu loses and Xiang Yan wins, but Wu Guang will be accused of ruthlessness. The Xiang clan will not break off relations with the King of Chu, so they can only sacrifice Wu Guang and say that it was Wu Guang's private actions, thus drawing a clear line between him and the Xiang clan. At that time, Wu Guang will still be sentenced to death!"
"The third result is a draw between the King of Chu and Xiang Yan. On the surface, Wu Guang has calmed down his anger, but someone must be held responsible for the conflict between the King of Chu and Xiang Yan. As the general in charge, Wu Guang must also be held accountable for his poor performance and failure to mediate the conflict in a timely manner. This is a dead end."
Chen Sheng couldn't hold it in any longer after hearing this. "It feels like there's no way out, no matter which way you look!"
Ge Ying said, "This is the fact."
Chen Sheng said, "If what you said is true, doesn't it mean that Xiang Yu gave the position of the lord of these thirty-six cities to my brother, and he had no good intentions!"
Ge Ying laughed and said, "Master Chen, you think too highly of Xiang Yu."
"I have been traveling for a long time. I have also been to the Earthly Immortal Realm, and even to Jianye City in the East China Sea. I have also walked around the campus of Tianxia Wuzong."
"From what I have seen and heard of Xiang Yu, although he has amazing fighting ability and unparalleled dominance, he has the narrow-mindedness of a typical country landlord."
"Xiang Yu strictly enforced bloodline kinship for his people. He never gave face to any of his relatives who were more distantly related to him."
"Xiang Yu treated his own people like this, so you can imagine how he treated outsiders."
"Although General Wu Guang has made outstanding military achievements, he is not a member of the Xiang clan after all, and it is impossible for him to be Xiang Yu's confidant. Moreover, as a foreigner, Wu Guang's current status is too high. He is already one of the top three generals under Xiang Yu. If he is not weakened, he will become a major concern in the future. Therefore, Xiang Yu wants to use this incident to give General Wu Guang a decent exit."
Chen Sheng slapped the tea table, and the teapot on the table was scattered all over the floor. "Is the so-called dignified exit the stage a death sentence?"
"Is my brother's life going to be played around with by this bastard King Chu and that bastard Xiang Yan?"
"My brother is a great war god and a first-year graduate of Wuzong. Why would he end up like this?"
"Damn it! Xiang Yu, Xiang Yan, and the King of Chu are all birds of a feather!"
Ge Ying looked at the furious Chen Sheng with a deeper look in his eyes. "At this moment, the only way for General Wu Guang to escape from this situation is to raise an army and rebel. Damn it!"
"First, let General Wu Guang take over the thirty-six cities, and then use them as bases to expand his power!"
"By then, even if Xiang Yu comes back, he may not be able to gain an advantage over General Wu Guang!"
"After all, the Northern Territory is the territory of the martial arts sects of the world. The martial arts sects allow students to fight among themselves, but they do not allow people to die."
"No matter how hard Xiang Yu and Wu Guang fight, they will not die. But if Wu Guang fights against King Xiang Yan of Chu, he will surely die! Because King Xiang Yan of Chu does not belong to the academy and is not subject to the laws of Wuzong."
Chen Sheng didn't say anything, just sat there quietly without saying a word.
Ge Ying said, "My Lord, what are you hesitating about? The opportunity is fleeting. Let's go and inform General Wu Guang now. Everything is still in time. We have no choice but to rebel!"
Chen Sheng looked complicated and asked, "What if we fail?"
Ge Ying said, "If you fail, then you can just wander around the world. The sea of boundaries is so vast, there is nowhere you can't go."
Chen Sheng thought for a moment and said, "How about you tell my fortune for me, sir?"
Ge Ying sighed, took out his own eating stick tube and handed it to Chen Sheng.
Chen Sheng closed his eyes, shook it a few times, and then stopped hard, and three wooden sticks fell.
Ge Ying picked up the lots, and all three lots were "bad", "bad", and "bad".
Chen Sheng opened his eyes at this moment, "How is it?"
Ge Ying held the three wooden sticks in his hand and did not answer.
Chen Sheng said, "It's a bad sign, right?"
Ge Ying broke the wooden stick with both hands and said word by word, "If the stick is bad, will we surrender and wait for death?"
"It's already this late, and you still believe in ghosts and gods!"
"Throughout the ages, those who have accomplished great things have all defied the heavens and conquered the gods!"
"There's no point in believing these things!"
"If you insist on having a hexagram."
"The hexagram I gave you is Qian Gua Jiu Wu, a flying dragon in the sky, which is beneficial to seeing a great man."
"If you want to make up a hexagram, my hexagram is wind and thunder inspiring three thousand waves, and Yi Xiang flying dragon fixed in the sky!"
Ge Ying was full of vigor, his eyes were like torches, looking down and staring at Chen Sheng.
Chen Sheng closed his eyes for a long time, and after a long time, he let out a long sigh.
"I, Chen Sheng, have never married or had children in these years, just to prevent my brother from dying one day and me being implicated by my family and unable to help him."
"Now that my brother is in trouble, why should I, Chen Sheng, care about my wealth and glory?"
"As you said, sir!"
"Rise up in rebellion!"
"We're working together to achieve great things!"
