Weren't you the first to jump out and respond just now?

Why do people in front do one thing and people behind do another?

Wang Chen seemed to have seen what Guo Pei was thinking, but when he saw it, he threw the notebook on his cotton-padded clothes and sighed:

"King Feng Gui's move seems to give us a choice, but in fact it leaves us with no choice."

Precisely because I saw that there was no choice at all, I might as well be the first to respond.

Only then did Guo Pei understand what Wang Chen meant.

He thought again of what Chang'an and his party had seen and heard, a wry smile appeared on his face, and he walked over and sat down:

"Hong Gao's words are very true. Alas, if I had a choice, why would I be willing to do this?"

Wang Chen smiled bitterly and explained:

"Zhong Nan, I don't mean to blame you. Feng Mingwen's wisdom is unparalleled in the world."

"In the past, when he was still weak, he could play with the powerful people of Shu."

"Not to mention that now he is taking advantage of the general trend of the world and is beyond our power to stop him."

When a new dynasty was first established, it was a routine operation to attack the powerful rightists.

Even the pseudo-Wei Dynasty, when Cao Cao founded the country, respected etiquette and the law, and often punished the powerful.

Not to mention that Ji Han has always had a tradition of suppressing wealthy families.

Although when Wang Chen knew that Guo Pei had gone to Chang'an to marry Pei Qian, he was very angry at first.

He just said that he had lied to him and went to Chang'an privately to find a way out.

But after learning the news brought back by the other party today, Wang Chen had to admit that it might be considered a good result now.

After all, every family in the world has heard of what happened to the great clans of Shu.

Anyone who is somewhat sober is not afraid that King Feng Gui will do this to his family?

With the current power of Ghost King Feng and the resources at his disposal, as long as the family targeted by him is not dead, it will definitely shed several layers of skin.

No one wants to become the clan leader of the Li family in Shu.

But who wants to become the Li family of Longxi or even the Li family of Tianshui?

When Guo Pei heard Wang Chen's words, his face was somewhat moved:

"It would be best if Hong Gao knows me."

Then he sighed again like Wang Chen:

"How could I not know that with this move by King Feng Gui, Bingzhou Hedong and the big clans in the east will probably break apart!"

But can he refuse?

In other words, any wealthy family that deserves the title of Bingzhou dare not accept it?

I'm afraid people on the east side of Hedong are eager to do this.

Wang Chen shook his head, his expression becoming more and more serious:

"It would be easy to just break up, but I'm afraid that there will be bloodshed later, and we will see the old conflict between Chang'an, Guanxi and Guandong again."

More than forty years ago, the murder of key members of the Wang family during the Chang'an war had deeply penetrated into Wang Chen's bones.

Over the years, I have seen events from that time in my dreams from time to time.

It is precisely because of his experience that he knows better than others that King Feng Gui's design behind the cotton incident is really very sinister.

He is preparing to split Guandong, or in other words, he wants to dismember the Guandong family just like he dismembered the Shu family.

It's just that King Feng Gui is acting under the general trend. Even if Wang Chen can see what the other party wants to do, he has no way to stop it.

This made him feel very powerless.

"Probably this is called going with the flow and you will prosper, and going against the flow and you will perish..."
