Chapter 99: Keeping the Position Vacant

  ♂?,,

  Astonishing reversal in one word.

  In this world, apart from Liu Feng, who else can come up with such "absurd and ridiculous" speculation?

  That's Zhou Yu, who has been like a brother to Sun Ce since childhood. After the death of Little Overlord, he relied on his own prestige to support Sun Quan's ascension to the throne of Jiangdong, and then conquered east and west, making great contributions to Sun Quan's stability in Jiangshan.

  Such a person who is so loyal to Sun would say that he would rebel against Sun Quan, it's probably laughable even to Sun Quan himself.

  If it were the Liu Feng from a few months ago, he probably wouldn't have had such a ridiculous guess even in his dreams. However, after that meeting at Xia Kou, where he personally heard Xu Shu's analysis of how Sun Quan suspected Zhou Yu, Liu Feng has learned to cast aside the warm and affectionate surface of human relationships and dig deep into the hidden underlying meaning.

  Now, Pang Tong lets Liu Bei go, lets Sun Quan go, and lets Cao Cao go, but instead goes to join Zhou Yu, a famous general who works for others. This is a very strange move in itself.

  Liu Feng thoroughly understood Pang Tong, whose ambition was to be like Zhang Liang and Jiang Shang. By going to join Zhou Yu, it meant that in his eyes, Zhou Yu was the future Liu Bang and Zhou Wen Wang. If so, then he would inevitably urge Zhou Yu to establish himself as a hero.

  At this moment, Pang Tong was as if struck by a thunderbolt, his face revealing an unprecedented shock. The astonishment flashing in his eyes seemed to be facing not just an awkward identity, but a young man with great ambitions, who could see through his own soul and understand his thoughts, like a ghostly being.

  A gust of wind blew into the tent, and Pang Tong suddenly felt a chill on his back. Liu Feng's previous words had actually made him break out in a cold sweat without realizing it.

  Suddenly, Pang Tong burst out laughing, his laughter wild and arrogant.

  Liu Feng knew that his words had hit the nail on the head of what he was thinking, and this loud laughter was nothing but a cover-up for the embarrassment of being seen through.

  Taking a sip of wine, Liu Feng's expression became gentle again: "Actually I was just randomly guessing, Mr. Shi Yuan please don't take it seriously, come, let's drink to the bottom of this cup."

  Liu Feng's timely intervention gave Pang Tong an opportunity to dispel the awkwardness in his heart, and he hastily drained a cup with ease.

  "Although I'm just guessing, but I think even if the master really has this heart, I'm afraid Zhou Lang also doesn't have this intention." Liu Feng was again speaking in a roundabout way.

  Pong Tong's mood quickly returned to calm, and he said with interest: "If I really have this heart, then how can Liu Gongzi think that Zhou Lang doesn't have this mind? As far as I know, Zhou Lang is a man with great ambition to win the world."

  It seems that Pang Tong was eager to know the reason for his own guess, and this curiosity happened to be in line with Liu Feng's plan.

  "Zhou Lang indeed has the ambition to conquer the world, but he only wants to do it for Wu Hou's sake, so that he can make a name for himself and be remembered in history. If not, he wouldn't have taken the opportunity of sending a message to recommend someone as talented as you to Wu Hou."

  Pang Tong's mouth corners twitched slightly, and this subtle change did not escape Liu Feng's eyes. It was clear that this extraordinary talent had been struck again by his own sore spot.

  "Unfortunately, even if Zhou Lang really had the intention of standing on his own, relying solely on that extraordinary self-confidence of his would ultimately be just an empty dream." Liu Feng seized the opportunity to throw out another conversation starter.

  As expected, Pang Tong sneered: "Is it bad to have confidence? Those who achieve great things, if they don't even have faith in themselves, how can they make their followers have faith?"

  Liu Feng took a sip of wine, and replied with profound meaning: "Although it is said so, self-confidence is actually a double-edged sword. In my opinion, Zhou Lang will eventually be hurt by it. If you don't believe me, just wait and see."

  At this moment, Liu Feng's words and deeds are not like those of a 16 or 17-year-old boy. Every word he says is not only deeply profound and difficult to fathom, but also the result of careful consideration and deliberation after repeated refinement.

  Piercing eyes, through the gap between the eyelids, once again carefully examining the unusual young man in front of him. Pang Tong couldn't help but admit that this young man, who was about to break with his father, possessed extraordinary courage and judgment. Although he didn't entirely agree with Liu Feng's conjectures, it didn't diminish the deep shock he felt from Liu Feng.

  After a long silence, Pang Tong suddenly sneered: "Liu Gongzi, you came all the way to Bazhou to wait for me. You wouldn't have just come here to discuss this unique insight with me, would you?"

  All the necessary preludes have been exhausted, and the topic has finally turned to Liu Feng's true purpose for this trip.

  He stood up straight, stretched out his arms and said seriously: "I've been waiting for you here, actually I just wanted to tell you that Liu Feng's door will always be open for you, the position of Xiao He Zhang Liang will also be reserved for you, hoping you can make a wise choice."

  After several months, Liu Feng finally stopped beating around the bush and sincerely invited Pang Tong.

  Pang Tong was also very clear that Liu Feng's sincerity did not need to be questioned, and when Liu Feng sincerely said this, at that moment he really had a little bit of heart.

  However, he shook his head and smiled, sighing: "With Liu Gongzi's such ingenuity and profound insight into worldly affairs, would he need my help?"

  Liu Feng sighed and said with a bitter smile: "Sir, have you forgotten how I answered you when we were at Mount Lu?"

  Onlookers see most of the game!

  Liu Feng's answer is indeed so.

  "Maybe he was right, I can see through others' futures but not my own destiny."

  At this moment, the two ends of the scale in Pong Tong's heart have begun to waver. His own future and destiny, the only stake he has, should be cast on which side? He was originally firm, but now he is somewhat at a loss.

  One is a world-renowned hero with extraordinary talent and charisma, while the other is an unknown young eagle, silently struggling to break free from its shackles despite possessing exceptional abilities.

  In comparison, if it were anyone else, they would probably make the choice without hesitation, but now, Pang Tong, facing this young man who can almost see through his thoughts, is trapped in indecision.

  The surging waves crashed against the shore, and Pang Tong's heart was as turbulent as those rolling waves. Time seemed to slow down, and in just a brief moment, he felt as if years had passed.

  Forget it, let's gamble again.

  After a long while, Pang Tong let out a deep breath, his complex expression faded away, and the usual nonchalant and irreverent look returned to his face.

  He suddenly got up and walked to the case, picked up his pen and wrote a letter on silk, then took out a brocade bag from his bosom, put the letter in it, and handed it over to Liu Feng.

  "Sir, what's this..." Liu Feng looked puzzled at Pang Tong's sudden strange behavior.

  "My two plans, although they can help the flying bird escape from its cage, will be of no use when it comes to establishing oneself as a hero. That is, when Liu Xuande's great army presses on our borders, that will be the most difficult time. If one day we are forced into a desperate situation, then you can open this brocade bag and the plans inside will help us escape from death."

  Liu Feng's face suddenly showed a look of surprise: "Sir, this is an answer..."

  Liu Feng thought that Pang Tong had made up his mind to surrender to him, but Pang Tong waved his hand to stop Liu's excitement: "I have received someone's entrustment, and this trip to Chaisang is unavoidable."

  He still had to leave, and Liu Feng's mood suddenly became gloomy again.

  At this time, Pang Tong smiled faintly: "If Liu Gongzi is really the master of heaven's fate, then he must have a life that can hold on until the opening of this brocade bag. If it really comes to that time, I, Pang Tong, will be willing to go through fire and water for Gongzi, no matter what."
