Chapter 682: That Familiar... Carriage
Chen Chao felt a bit uneasy under Zhou Gouqi's gaze but still said, "I was living just fine in Wei Prefecture when a sudden flood came and shattered my peaceful days. Now I'm going to settle the score with him, is there a problem with that?" "Leaving that aside, I'm now the Lord Warden Commander of Great Liang. He caused the flood and harmed so many Great Liang civilians. It's only right that I do something for the people."
Chen Chao took a deep breath and said seriously, "Since that’s the case, what do you have to argue with me about?"
Zhou Gouqi smiled. "Using your authority to pressure me?"
Chen Chao was silent.
"Did you know? I almost became the imperial son-in-law of the Great Liang Dynasty."
Zhou Gouqi spat on the ground. Judging by his expression, it looked like things were about to turn into another shouting match, just like back in Tianqing County.
Chen Chao rolled up his sleeves and smiled. "You said ‘almost.’ Right now, you're nothing more than a Confucian Saint, so what's with the arrogance?"
"Nothing more than a Confucian Saint" - what a statement.
Probably only Chen Chao would dare to say something like that so casually.
