"Zhang Xiong, would you be willing to spare a moment for a conversation" Fu Yuzhi completely disregarded Zhang Biwu's cold attitude and asked with a respectful bow.

Frowning slightly, Zhang Biwu said calmly, "Come with me."

After saying that, Zhang Biwu led Fu Yuzhi into the mansion.

After arriving at a pavilion in the backyard, he waited for someone to bring tea. After dismissing his attendants, only Zhang Biwu and Fu Yuzhi remained in the entire backyard.

"Go on."

Zhang Biwu lowered his head to drink tea, saying in a bland tone: "What did Zhao Xuanji send you here for"

Fu Yu Zhi paused for a moment, then said, "Zhang brother, you and I have been through thick and thin together for decades. Why are you so distant now"

Zhang Biwu sneered, "Mutual advance and retreat What does mutual advance and retreat mean It's always Zhao Xuanji who decides when to advance and when to retreat. When has he ever asked for my or your opinion"

"Now I just don't want to take it anymore, that's all there is to it."

Fu Yuzhi shook her head and said, "Zhang brother, your words can deceive others, but they cannot deceive me."

"Do you still remember twenty-six years ago, when I was just a small clerk in Qingzhou You came to me and said that you wanted to forge ahead with me towards a brilliant future, introducing me to Zhao Xuanji, who was still unknown at the time."

"In my opinion, Zhao Xuanji is a man of deep thoughts and great cunning. Knowing I was no match for him, I wanted to keep my distance. How did you advise me at the time"

Zhang Biwu's eyelids jumped, but he didn't say a word.

"When she saw this, Fu Yuzhi addressed herself and said, “You told me then that the borders of the Great Qin Empire stretched for thousands of miles, covering such a vast expanse. On this land, there were not only hidden masters, but also tens of thousands of officials appointed by the imperial court. These tens of thousands of people were all among the best of the best, and each one wanted to climb higher.”

"While one person can only achieve so much, the two of us have no powerful elders like kings or generals in our family, nor wealthy relatives. We can only rely on ourselves to climb step by step."

"If you don't find someone ruthless and cunning enough to team up with, when will you ever succeed If you don't succeed, you'll waste your life until you're fifty or sixty years old, and then you'll be ordered to retire. What a pointless life! Wouldn't it be a waste of time to come into this world"

Fu Yuzhi gazed intently at Zhang Biwu and said, “Even after hearing your words, I made up my mind to join you in seeking refuge with the elder statesman. This has led to our rise over the past few decades.”

"But now, how have you changed like this"

Zhang Biwu turned his head away, afraid to meet Fu Yuzhi's gaze.

He sighed deeply and said, "Brother Fu, it's not that I've changed, but many things have forced me to make new choices."

Fu Yuzhi said sincerely: "If you have any difficulties, you can tell me, and I will do my best to help you."

Zhang Biwu turned his head to look at Fu Yuzhi and asked, "Among us, you have the best ending. You have both children and they have all found good homes. So you've long wanted to stay away from these troubles, why are you so eager now"

Fu Yuzhi wryly smiled and said, "What I want is to stay out of trouble. The premise is that trouble won't come looking for me. The only way for me to end peacefully is if Elder Ge wins, the cabinet wins. Otherwise, how can the prince let me go, how can the East Palace let me go, and how can the people of the world let me go"

Zhang Biwu looked at Fu Yuzhi and after a long silence, said: "This is spoken from the heart."

"I have always been sincere with Zhangxiong." Fu Yuzhi said in a deep voice.pursue those ethereal things.Although celestial beings on land are indeed powerful."Thinking about this, Li Chen curiously asked: "Sword Immortal, how did you enter this realm"Lord Li glanced at Li Ch...
