Traveling through the Qin Dynasty, I seized the throne of Ying Zheng's father

Chapter 270 Trust

Fusu stepped forward two steps to express his trust in General Chen.

He then said, "Now is a sensitive time. I also think you are right. My father would not have sent me to investigate the officialdom for no reason. Something must have happened, but our intelligence network has no idea."

"Since such a big thing has happened here, Lord Zhou is definitely not going to get away with it. I want you to be on guard, because people in officialdom are all very cunning."

“They are not like those simple warriors. They only care about their own interests and do not care about the interests of others’ deaths. Betrayal is commonplace and has become normal.”

Fusu's words can be considered a heartfelt confession.

He truly regarded General Chen as a close friend, not just a trusted subordinate.

He trusted General Chen implicitly, so he didn't want to fall into an abyss because General Chen trusted others too much.

So Fusu thought for a moment and then said, "But you were in a very simple environment before, and you couldn't understand their profit-driven lifestyle at all."

"If you get involved, whether you become friends with them or enemies, you could be taken advantage of. The best way is for us not to get involved."

"Our identities allow us to do this, so why should we get involved and lose our way? We might as well sit back and watch the tigers fight."

In Fusu's mind, one should not engage in conflict with others too early, as it is very likely that others will take advantage of one's weakness when one is weakened.

His status required him to preserve his strength even when fighting with others, and he must never allow himself to become too weak. This principle has prevented Fusu from easily getting involved in disputes.

The method Fusu used most often to strike at or deal with his opponents was to make them fight to the death.

In this way, he wouldn't have to get involved personally, and his position allowed him to do so without being easily embroiled in these conflicts.

General Chen had never been involved in such matters, so he was unaware of what Fusu's power meant, even if he was merely the Crown Prince.

For most people, it's also overwhelming.

Fusu held a legitimate position and was the crown prince. Not to mention the minor officials in the two localities, even officials in the capital would have to keep their sharp edges in front of Fusu.

General Chen, while serving Fusu, was always very careful about his words and actions, and generally did not get too close to anyone.

His departure from Xianyang to a local post may have lowered his guard.

General Chen finally understood why Fusu had been so earnest in his advice to him.

Because of this kind of thing, no amount of talking will help; it all depends on personal understanding.

If one doesn't trust their master wholeheartedly, they might even resent them.

General Chen understood Fusu's good intentions and was deeply moved. He immediately knelt down before Fusu.

At this moment, tears streamed down his face.

The boy does not cry easily.

General Chen did not expect that the young master would trust him so much that he would be willing to tell him such things so that he could understand that so-called Lord Zhou was not a good person.

Getting too close to Lord Zhou could easily lead to trouble.

It was his own fault; he had let his guard down too much.

He was not a competent subordinate, and it was only because the young master reminded him that this was something that should have been ingrained in his very being.
