Under the leadership of Zhou Yu, Zhang Cheng met Zhou Yi.

When the two sides met, Zhou Yi, as the host, spoke first: "I didn't know that the master of Jixia Academy would come. I apologize for not welcoming you in person!"

"Brother Zhou, you are too polite. You are Zhou Yu's father and I am Zhou Yu's teacher. So we are a family. There is no need to be too polite."

At Zhou Yi's signal, Zhang Cheng walked aside and sat down.

Zhang Cheng had just sat down when Zhou Yu coughed lightly beside him.

Zhang Cheng heard it and understood it immediately.

"Zhou Yu has a very high talent for magic. If nothing unexpected happens, he has a 90% chance of becoming a great magician within ten years. He has a 70% chance of becoming a being on par with gods within twenty years."

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, everyone present couldn't help but open their mouths wide.

Yunying and others did not expect that Zhou Yu was so powerful.

Although Zhou Yu does not use a sword, Miyamoto Musashi couldn't help but want to challenge Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yi never thought that his son would be so outstanding. For a moment, Zhou Yi even suspected that Zhou Yu was not his own son.

Zhou Yu frowned and looked at Zhang Cheng, cursing Zhang Cheng in his heart for bragging too much.

It will be very difficult to regain the awesomeness in the future.

"You don't have to doubt what I said, because every word I just said came from Zhuang Zhou. Zhuang Zhou is an authority in the King's Continent."

Zhou Yi laughed excitedly.

Zhuang Zhou's words are completely trustworthy.

After laughing, Zhou Yi asked Zhang Cheng, "I wonder if you need any help from the Zhou family during your visit. If so, please let us know. We will use all our strength to help you solve the problem."

"Hahaha, with Brother Zhou's words, I feel relieved."

Zhang Cheng smiled and drank a cup of tea, then continued, "In addition to being an assistant professor at Jixia Academy, I am also the prince of Heluo. To be honest, I came to Wudi on behalf of Heluo. And the purpose of my coming to Wudi is to hope that Wudi can form an alliance with us Heluo."

"Brother Zhou, you also know that Cao Cao is about to lead his troops south, and the first target of Cao Cao's attack must be Wu. Now Shu is in a serious state of internal strife, and Wu alone will definitely not be able to stop Wei's troops."

"Wu, if you can form an alliance with us Heluo, we Heluo can provide continuous assistance to Wu through sea transportation."

"In this way, it should not be difficult for Wu to successfully defeat Cao Cao's invasion."

Zhang Cheng’s words immediately made Zhou Yi frown.

After a moment, Zhou Yi said, "Teacher, do you want me to help make this happen?"

Zhang Cheng nodded slightly.

"You are Zhou Yu's father, and Zhou Yu is my student. If I have a good job, it will naturally fall on your shoulders."

"This... this... this doesn't seem like a good job!"

Zhou Yi gave Zhang Cheng a bitter smile and continued, "For Wu, Cao Cao in the north is a wolf, and Heluo in the west is a tiger. Even if it is feasible to drive the tiger to devour the wolf, we are also worried that the tiger will stay in Wu and be unwilling to leave."

Zhou Yi is able to become the head of the Zhou family, he is no fool.

If Zhou Yi had been the one to broker this matter, Sun Ce would definitely have thought that Zhou Yi had colluded with He Luo in advance.

The Zhou family’s roots are in Wu, so Zhou Yi dared not offend Sun Ce.

"First of all, Heluo and Wu have no territorial borders. Even if Heluo wants to occupy Wu, it does not have the right conditions. Forming an alliance with Heluo and defeating Cao Cao's invasion is a hundred benefits and no harm for Wu."

"Secondly, the purpose of the alliance between Heluo and Wu is only to influence Shu. To prevent Shu from having ambitions towards Heluo. If we form an alliance, Shu can be controlled by you in the future. Wu can also gain huge benefits from Shu."

"So, if we form an alliance, the only ones who will get hurt are Cao Cao and Liu Bei."

"Finally, I just hope that Brother Zhou can relay what I just said to Sun Ce. Of course, it would be great if Brother Zhou could arrange a meeting between Sun Ce and me."

Seeing Zhou Yi lost in thought and not speaking for a long time, Zhang Cheng smiled slightly and continued, "Brother Zhou, you should also think about the future of the Zhou family."

"If the Zhou family cannot seize this opportunity I offer you, the future development of the Zhou family will be limited to Wu."

"On the contrary, if you help to make this happen, He Luo will thank the Zhou family, and the Zhou family will have a broader stage in the future."

Zhang Cheng finished speaking, and Zhou Yu followed and advised: "Father, what the teacher said does make some sense. The biggest opponent Wu is facing now is Cao Cao. Although Heluo is very strong, there are still Xichuan Forest and Shu between Heluo and Wu. At least for a long time in the future, Heluo will not threaten Wu."

"We, the Zhou family, are only responsible for matchmaking and do not participate in the Lord's decision-making. Regardless of whether this matter succeeds in the end, the Lord cannot blame us. And once this matter succeeds, we will gain the friendship of Heluo."

"He Luo's friendship is enough to help our Zhou family reach a higher level of strength."

After listening to Zhou Yu's words, Zhou Yi finally nodded.

"Three days from now, it will be my sixtieth birthday. The lord will definitely come to celebrate my birthday. I can mention this matter to the lord during the celebration. As for whether it will be successful, I cannot guarantee it."

When Zhang Cheng smiled, Zhou Yi quickly said to Zhou Yu, "Zhou Yu, go and arrange four upper rooms yourself and take your teacher down to have a good rest."

As soon as Zhou Yu led Zhang Cheng out of the meeting room, he couldn't wait to ask Zhang Cheng: "You said before that you would give me benefits after I facilitate this matter. Now tell me, what are the benefits? Where are the benefits?"

After Zhou Yu finished speaking, Zhang Cheng said to Zhou Yu: "I have already given you the benefit."

"It was given to me already? How come I didn't know?"

"I gave you an encouraging look, which was full of my expectations for you and my trust in you."

"The benefit you mentioned is just an encouraging look?"

Realizing that he had been tricked, Zhou Yu immediately became angry, "Zhang Cheng, if I continue to listen to you in the future, I will be your grandson."

"Okay, okay, I was just joking, don't take it seriously."

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

"I don't like jokes because I take them seriously. Now tell me, what reward have you prepared?"

"Grandson, didn't I just say that? I gave you an encouraging look."
