With the support of his servant, Chen Deng staggered back home. Originally, Chen Gui wanted to ask about today's events, but Chen Deng was so drunk that he couldn't ask anything, so he had to give up. The next day, Chen Deng woke up, finished washing, and was about to go to see his father. Just at this time, a servant came to report, and Chen Gui asked him to go over and ask questions. "Yeah!" Chen Deng nodded and said, "I'm about to go to see my father. You can lead the way." So, the servant led the way, and Chen Deng followed behind, rushing towards Chen Gui's lobby one after the other. . When I came to the hall, I saw my old father sitting on the main seat. He had obviously been waiting for a long time. "Meet my father!" Chen Deng bowed and said. Chen Gui waved his hand, signaling Chen Deng to stand up. After Chen Deng stood up, Chen Gui was about to ask a question, but found that Chen Deng's eyes were full of bloodshot eyes. He immediately swallowed the words that came to his lips and said, "Drink some soup first, sober up before talking." "Thank you. Father!" A look of gratitude flashed across Chen Deng's face, then he walked to his seat, sat down, picked up a bowl of clear soup on the table, and drank it. After finishing the drink, Chen Deng felt his mind clear and the fatigue on his face dissipated a lot. "Huh!" Exhaling a breath, Chen Deng had fully resumed his attack. He calmed down and asked his father, "Why is father looking for his son?" "How was yesterday?" Chen Gui asked. "Father, don't worry! My lord has sent Lu Bu to Xiaopei to resist Cao Cao. Both the north and the south are safe, and there will be no more wars in Xuzhou in the short term." Chen Deng said with excitement. "Yes!" Chen Gui nodded and said, "It is indeed a clever plan to let Lu Bu guard Xiaopei." After hearing this, Chen Deng had a flash of pride on his face. He came up with this plan, and now it is even more so. The old man approved and was naturally excited. After a pause, Chen Deng quietly looked at his father and said cautiously: "Father! Next Liu Bei has had enough time to grow and develop. Does the family fully support it?" "It's not good for you to be so eager." Chen Deng Gui frowned and looked at Chen Deng, scolding him. Chen Deng was a little dissatisfied and said: "It is always better to provide help in times of need than icing on the cake. I don't know what is wrong." Chen Gui looked at Chen Deng disappointedly and said: "It is good to provide help in times of need, but what if Liu Bei is defeated? Should the family be allowed to do so? Buried with him? " "This" Chen Deng was speechless. "You have to remember that family inheritance is the most important, followed by fame and fortune." Chen Gui said seriously. "I've written it down!" Chen Deng replied seriously. Afraid that Chen Deng would be hit, Chen Gui comforted him: "You don't have to think too much! Liu Bei's performance is still good. Although his background is not good, his surname makes up for it. But" "But what?" Chen Deng asked hurriedly. "Liu Bei's own abilities are limited and he relies too much on his subordinates. It is easy to create powerful ministers. If it is Huo Guang, everyone will be happy, but if it is Wang Mang, then" Chen Gui frowned, his face full of hesitation. Chen Deng's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "What father said makes sense! But why isn't this an opportunity?" Chen Gui suddenly raised his head, looked directly at Chen Deng, and a surge of momentum arose spontaneously. Under the pressure of Chen Gui's momentum, Chen Deng did not dare to breathe, and was trembling with fear. He didn't know why his father suddenly became angry. "My Chen family will never be involved in the struggle for hegemony." Chen Gui said word for word. "My father's teachings must be kept in mind by my son!" Chen Deng hurriedly replied. Chen Gui nodded slightly. Fighting for world supremacy seemed to have unlimited glory, and the ultimate benefit was also the most. However, the dangers involved were simply beyond imagination. If he was not careful, his family would be destroyed. Chen Gui did not dare to gamble, nor did he want to Go gamble. For a moment, the father and son were speechless. After a moment of silence, Chen Denggang wanted to say goodbye to his father and go to the official residence to do some business. Suddenly, Chen Deng thought of something that happened yesterday, and his heart couldn't help but move. "Father! Something happened yesterday." Chen Deng said to his father. "Huh?" Chen Gui was stunned and asked, "What's the matter?" "Mi Zhu asked me to go to Shouchun to do business." Chen Deng said casually. After a pause, Chen Deng said with a smile: "Just as father expected! Mi Zhu really plans to accumulate family wealth for promotion." Chen Gui was not as proud and relaxed as Chen Deng expected, and his face was extremely solemn. "Mi Zhu went to Shouchun in person?" Chen Gui asked. "That's right! Moreover, his younger brother and younger sister have already taken a step ahead, and I'm afraid they are already in Shouchun City now." Chen Deng also noticed the strange behavior of his father, but he didn't take it seriously and explained:?Father, don¡¯t worry! Naturally, Er also thought that the Mi family might never return. However, I think this possibility is unlikely. " "How can you judge? "Chen Gui asked sharply. Chen Deng was full of confidence and said: "Father! This time, Mi Zhu did not sell the land in his home, but used up most of his family's savings. The shops across Xuzhou were not touched at all. In comparison, what Mi Zhu took away was only a small part. Most of the Mi family's property was still in Xuzhou. How could he give up? " " Stupid! Chen Gui cursed loudly and said: "Even if you have never seen the prosperity of Shouchun, haven't you never heard of it?" Who is Mi Zhu? In places like Shouchun, as long as he is given enough time, he can definitely earn more wealth. How can he take the wealth in Xuzhou seriously? " Having said this, Chen Gui glared at Chen Deng and asked, "You have to bring your whole family with you to do business! Don¡¯t you have any doubts about such ridiculous things? " After hearing this, Chen Deng was dumbfounded and stared blankly at the angry old father. "In fact, it's no wonder that Chen Deng was deceived by Mi Zhu. The most important thing in the Chen family is the land and how to save others by oneself. Chen Deng naturally thinks that Mi Zhu values ????the most. It is also land, but he did not expect, or did not think for a while, that Mi Zhu is essentially a businessman, and he may not value the land as much as the aristocratic family. Looking at Chen Deng with a dull look on his face, Chen Gui was furious. He came and cursed: "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Hurry and report this to Liu Bei and send someone to pursue him! " Chen Deng came to his senses and hurriedly said: "Let's go now! Go now! " After saying that, Chen Deng stood up hurriedly and hurried to Liu Bei's official residence. " Huhu! Whoops! " Chen Gui breathed heavily, with a look of resentment on his face. He had a premonition that even if Liu Bei sent people to go, he would not be able to catch up with Mi Zhu. Thinking that Mi Zhu had slipped away under his eyes, Chen Gui felt a sudden surge in his heart. After Liu Bei took control of Xuzhou, he began to use Chen Deng, and the Chen family also benefited. However, Chen Gui also knew about this. He originally wanted to slowly restore the family's strength, but for other families, he was angry. It was Chen Gui's plan to rise peacefully, regardless of past grudges. But now that the Mi family has fled, his plan has been disrupted. Although the Mi family has a bad background, it is still one of the top three in Xuzhou. One of the most influential families in Xuzhou. Now, if the Mi family moves to other places, it will definitely cause chaos among the upper class in Xuzhou. If other families follow suit, it will be a huge disaster in Xuzhou. A storm is coming. ¡°Damn it! "Chen Gui cursed secretly. What he fears most now is chaos. After the previous battle, the Chen family's vitality was seriously injured and has not recovered yet. At this time, the Chen family can no longer withstand any blow. Can they survive this storm? Chen Gui was really unsure about this. Thinking of this, Chen Gui couldn't help complaining about Chen Deng, thinking: "Drinking is a waste of time! " If Chen Deng hadn't been so drunk last night, he would have known about it earlier and would have had enough time to pursue it. Now I'm afraid it's too late. " After a long time, Chen Gui sighed and said: "Alas! Although Deng'er is smart, his ability to observe words and emotions is average, and his grasp of people's hearts is insufficient. This is definitely a fatal flaw, and he needs to be taught well in the future. ¡±¡
