"This matter's version you've mentioned earlier is just to make it sound better when spread."
"Once our father ascends, we can secretly reconcile with the Yu Kingdom. The advantage of Yu Kingdom is that they haven't pledged loyalty to Great Shang, so they don't have to pay tribute to Chaoge City. It's just a remote vassal state, and we secretly provide them protection so other lords don't dare invade. It becomes our money pot and training ground."
"Brother, you're still too naive."
Ji Kao blinked, puzzled: "Really?"
"If you don't believe, go ask our father, but don't say I mentioned it. I'm tired, chatting with you is exhausting, you're too childish."
"Hey! You!"

Beside him, faint snoring could already be heard.

Is this kid really five years old?
What was I doing when I was five? Seemingly learning how to walk.
