Pledging Allegiance

Zhong Heng was smart, sometimes too smart. All his previous bosses knew that none of their private matters escaped him, thus made sure that he was not frequently promoted and at last, his ambitions died. In his own words, he now wanted nothing more than to get rich and find a peaceful place to live his last years.

To him, pouring out his heart to someone was not only ridiculous but also dangerous. However, he decided to trust Dragon King, if only for the chance of fortune and security for the rest of his days. "I pledge allegiance to you, to help you become a real king and even claim the entire Western Region."

Gu Shenwei was slightly taken aback. He had always appreciated Zhong Heng and had learned many useful principles from him. Therefore, he found it hard to imagine that someone as slippery as him would take their chances with him, whose status was not yet established. "Commandant Zhong is an Officer from the Central Plain."
