Once he has completely established his foothold beside the King of Zhou, he will be able to gradually erode the King of Zhou's power, undermine the King of Zhou, and use his power for his own benefit.
Unfortunately, Jia Rui underestimated Luo Zheng's ability and King Zhou's cruelty, and ultimately ruined himself.
After his death, both the Zhou Palace and Luo Zheng blamed him for the poisoning of King Zhou.
The Black Kirin Guards also further strengthened their efforts to capture the remnants of the Chen and Jia families.
When Luo Zheng thoroughly investigated King Zhou, he also pulled out many people who had colluded with Jia Rui, and they were all found out.
As these people were arrested one after another, life on the island naturally became more difficult.
What good life can Chen Shou have if he returns to the island at this time?
Even if Chen Shao was his biological brother from the same mother, he would not be willing to let Chen Shou come and snatch his position as island master.
What's more, although the two are brothers, they spend very little time together.
Langhuan Island.
Chen Shou and Chen Shao are in the same room at this moment.
The two brothers look quite similar, but Chen Shou has pale skin, while Chen Shao has a bronzed skin and a more muscular body because he has been staying on the island for many years.
The two sat opposite each other, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
Chen Shou sat cross-legged, looking at his brother opposite him with complicated eyes.
The last time they met, he was still the renowned Crown Prince of the Cheng'en Mansion. Although his younger brother was the lord of Langhuan Island, managing five thousand able-bodied men and thousands of the elderly, weak, women, and children, he still couldn't live as comfortably as the Crown Prince.
When they meet again now, his brother is still the powerful island owner, but he has become a completely homeless dog, in a miserable state, and is being chased by people, forcing him to hide and run away.
In the end, he had no choice but to come to Langhuan Island and seek refuge with his younger brother.
Chen Shou felt very bitter.
Chen Shao, who was sitting opposite, was making tea with a calm expression.
He also sat cross-legged, but his aura was very intimidating. Even though he was just sitting there quietly, he still gave people a strong sense of crisis, as if he was a tiger that could suddenly attack and hurt people at any time.
In contrast, even though Chen Shou tried his best to straighten his body, his back was still slightly hunched, and his pale face looked haggard and sickly.
He has not been in good health ever since he fell ill while in Duke Cheng'en's mansion.
Later, he hid in the mountains and vomited blood many times because of the coal mine, and his health became worse and worse.
Even though he tried hard to adjust his mentality and drank a lot of tonics, his body was still much weaker than that of an ordinary person.
This time when he arrived on the island, he had difficulty acclimatizing himself to the climate there and his body became even weaker.
It made him completely sickly.
Now he sat here, too weak to even straighten his back in front of Chen Shao.
Chen Shou hated himself for being weak and incompetent now, but he had to beg for mercy in front of his own brother.
He used to look down on his younger brother, thinking that he had been living in the open air and had a very hard life on the island.
Not as glorious and glorious as him, the prince.
Only now did he realize that the glory and prestige he once thought of were nothing but illusions.
Without a large army under his command, he could become a prey on someone else's chopping board at any time.
It was for this reason that my father eventually died in Prince Zhou's Palace.
Thinking of his father's tragic death, Chen Shou couldn't help but ask, "You should know about father's affairs, right?"
Chen Shao finally made the tea.
He looked very handsome, but he was very particular about making tea. It took him a long time to finally make the tea.
He poured a cup of tea for Chen Shou and another for himself. After taking a sip, he said quietly, "I tried to persuade my father not to go to Prince Zhou's mansion, but he wouldn't listen. He insisted that Prince Zhou was a fool who could be easily manipulated."
At this point, he shook his head and said, "If he had listened to my advice and not taken the risk of going to Prince Zhou's Palace, he wouldn't have ended up like this."
Chen Shou was very angry when he saw that he spoke so nonchalantly, as if the other party was not their biological father but an insignificant stranger.
