"Hong'er, tomorrow's court meeting, I will unite the people who support you, as well as those officials we have wooed, nominate again, let you become an alternate official of the first auxiliary cabinet, as long as you go to this position, then replacing Chu Xian is a sure thing, you can rest assured, this matter, the family will definitely do their best to help you ascend to the throne, after you take the throne, our Zhuge family can once again compete with the Yang family and return to the power center of the Holy Dynasty, which is also your grandfather's lifelong wish. In Zhuge family, an old man said earnestly.

He is Zhuge Hong's cheap father, Zhuge Yanshan.

This Zhuge Yanshan was suave when he was young, but he left a lot of love debts outside, even if he already had several ladies in his family, he couldn't stop him from messing around outside. It's just that although he left a lot of illegitimate children outside, only Zhuge Hong was really picked up by him, after all, only this one is the most promising, and even the entire Zhuge family has to rely on Zhuge Hong.

On the other side, Zhuge Hong nodded.

He is already a Dao Immortal, and his current official position is extremely high, even in the face of his cheap father, he doesn't need to be too respectful, of course, the most important thing is that he still hates the Zhuge family in his heart, and he hates this irresponsible father.

He has never forgotten the hardships of his childhood and the bullying suffered by his mother.

If it weren't for the Zhuge family's use value, he would have gotten rid of this waste family a long time ago, but it was only a matter of time. Zhuge Hong has scheming, has the city government, and knows forbearance, if it weren't for this, he would not have been able to rise all the way to this position, and because he is indeed capable, and in official affairs, he is indeed meticulous and extremely diligent.

He had already made up his mind in his heart, even if he stepped into the Shoufu Pavilion, he would never listen to the words of the Zhuge family, this family has rotted to the roots, and it has gradually declined in the past hundred years, it is not bad luck, but the Zhuge family is becoming more and more waste from generation to generation, even if he and the Zhuge family do not have a holiday, it is impossible to be dragged down by this family.

It's ridiculous that Zhuge Yanshan actually expects him to pull them after he soars?

It's naïve.

Could it be that this Zhuge Yanshan has forgotten how he Zhuge Hong came over in the past 30 years or so?

Those pains, those despairs, are because of this Zhuge Yan Mountain.

If you want to talk about enemies, there is only one person, and that is this person.

At this time, someone outside reported and handed over the news, and when Zhuge Yanshan heard it, his face changed at the moment.

"Chu Xian is back!"

Hearing this, Zhuge Hong's face also changed, but he is now in a high position, and he is also extremely stable, and said at this moment: "It's normal to come back, after all, Chu Xian himself is extremely amazing, but the Shou Devouring Witch Spell is a witch spell that cannot be broken, this is confirmed, and I also heard that Master Lu Yan and even the Earth Emperor came in person to help break the witch spell in Chu Xian's body, but the result was still in vain, and he could only barely suppress it." But the world's spells, the more suppressed, the stronger the power of the backlash in the future, ten months have passed, Chu Xian is now afraid that it is difficult to protect himself, and he is on the verge of falling, and he comes back this time, maybe it is to see his family for the last time. ”

When Zhuge Yanshan heard this, his eyes lit up, and he nodded again and again: "It makes sense, but this Chu Xian is really a demon, he was originally just an ordinary person without any foundation, but who would have thought that he could go all the way to the top and become a human being, an immortal and an immortal, and they were all supported and favored by the big men in the DPRK, but he was just because he was too smooth, that is, God didn't like him, hahaha, this gave our Zhuge family a chance." ”

This is a bit unlevel, Zhuge Hong heard it, his eyes faintly showed displeasure, although he was going to compete for Chu Xian's official position, but for Chu Xian, Zhuge Hong was still quite admirable, Zhuge Yanshan was so gloating, it was really disgraceful and embarrassing.

But Zhuge Hong didn't speak, nor did he show his thoughts, after all, he still had to rely on the support of the Zhuge family, and no matter how he said it, this Zhuge Yanshan was also his biological father, if he refuted or said some disrespectful words, it would not be good for him.

"Chu Xian is back, I'll go visit him. Zhuge Hong said a word at this time, Zhuge Yanshan heard it, his eyes rolled, and he hurriedly nodded: "This plan is very good, in this way, those who say that you snatch Chu Xian's official position, and the remarks about discord with him can be stopped, and it can also show the mind of our Zhuge family, of course, if Chu Xian is self-aware, he should retire and give way to you as soon as possible, and give you the official position in the first auxiliary cabinet." ”

The displeasure and disgust in Zhuge Hong's heart were already getting bigger and bigger, and at this moment he got up to say goodbye, he really didn't want to stay here, because if it continued like this, he really couldn't guarantee that he would not say anything to refute.

It's better to be out of sight and out of mind.

Zhuge Hong asked people to prepare a generous gift, and then changed his clothes, and then took people to visit Chu Mansion, at this moment the sky is getting dark, it is the time for each family to hold the lamp, it is appropriate to visit at this time, otherwise it will be a little abrupt later.

Chu Xian was talking to Ji Wen, at this time the next person came to report, Chu Xian asked who the visitor was, but he laughed: "This person doesn't talk casually, but I have long heard that this Zhuge Hong is not simple, there is a world of talent, although there have been a few sides of the relationship before, but after all, there is no in-depth understanding, this time he came, he must be here to listen to the truth, I might as well show his edge, I hope he has self-knowledge, willing to retreat from the difficulty, don't find yourself boring, just make yourself embarrassed." ”

When Ji Wen heard this, he grinned: "Chu Xian, you are kind, if it were me, I would deliberately show the enemy weakness, and then attack him unprepared, and make him lose face at the court meeting, so that he can hit him and let the family surnamed Zhuge stop thinking about unrealistic non-points." ”

Chu Xian shook his head and got up: "Being in a high position, you can't ruin the high-ranking officials of the court for your own selfishness, Zhuge Hong is talented, and the holy dynasty needs it, so why bother to put people to death, you have to spare people and spare people." ”

Ji Wen nodded: "I know, Chu Dashan, then you go and meet this Zhuge Hong." ”

Chu Xian nodded, turned around and left, and went directly to the living room.

The Chu family had a subordinate official family who went to entertain him, and when he saw Chu Xian walking in, he hurriedly saluted, and Zhuge Hong over there saw Chu Xian, he was slightly stunned at first, but he immediately got up and said hello.

In terms of official position, he is one level worse than Chu Xian, and Chu Xian is an immortal official at the level of the Shoufu Pavilion, so when he saw Chu Xian in the past, he had to behave in a proper manner.

In the past, Chu Xian's appearance was to look much younger than him, but at this moment, Chu Xian's appearance is much older than Zhuge Hong.

Zhuge Hong didn't pretend to be garlic at this time, and said directly: "I heard that Lord Chu fell into witchcraft and wanted to visit, but today I learned that Lord Chu returned to Beijing, so I made a special trip to visit, I don't know if it has improved?"

When asking, Zhuge Hong naturally carefully observed Chu Xian, judging from Chu Xian's appearance, he was actually much older than before, you must know that the speed of immortal aging is several times slower than that of ordinary people, just look at Chu Xian's current appearance, they are all the same as those veteran immortal officials in the Shoufu Pavilion.

Sure enough, it's a longevity witch spell.

Zhuge Hong's spell of devouring longevity is to devour Shouyuan at a very fast speed, making people age, and finally dying at the end of their lives, Chu Xian's appearance really confirmed what he knew.

Naturally, this discovery is a good thing for Zhuge Hong.

In Zhuge Hong's opinion, Chu Xian may be able to see that he is faking to visit, but so what? This is the case in officialdom, he is visiting properly, with good intentions, and he is worthy of his heart

And Zhuge Hong has already planned to come to 'self-recommendation', Chu Xian Shouyuan is not much, he must be thinking about the way back, the first auxiliary pavilion must be withdrawn, since this is the case, why not be a favor and promote yourself. You must know that in the officialdom, Zhuge Hong also has some self-confidence, he admires Chu Xian, but this does not mean that he will think that he is inferior to Chu Xian.

This is what Zhuge Hong thinks in his heart.

In short, it is above board, not playing false.

But he didn't expect that Chu Xian would be the same, and he wouldn't play false.

I heard Chu Xian laugh: "You are worried about Lord Zhuge Lao, this time I left Beijing, and I also had some adventures, although I have not eradicated the witchcraft technique, but I have also stabilized the situation, so I don't need to worry." ”

Zhuge Hong was stunned, and his heart beat violently.

That's not right.

According to his own understanding, the Longevity Devouring Witch Spell is simply an unsolvable existence, how can it be stable?

It can be seen that Chu Xian's appearance is not like lying, he is also a Dao Immortal, how can Zhuge Hong not detect the aura and force on Chu Xian's body that is much more vast than himself.

You can't pretend to be this kind of thing.

And if he looked closely, Zhuge Hong immediately felt his heart pounding, and he actually felt a breath from Chu Xian's body that only a master of the Flying Feather Immortal Realm could have.

This discovery made Zhuge Hong's scalp tingle and sweat on his forehead.

He knew very well that Chu Xian did not pretend to be fine, but really suppressed the witch spell in his body, and even profited from it, raising his cultivation by a few grades.

Before Chu Xian left Beijing, his cultivation had definitely not reached this realm, and from Zhuge Hong's point of view, even if it was the current six Shangshu, I am afraid that it would not have Chu Xian's momentum.

In an instant, his mind turned a thousand times, and Zhuge Hong knew that his previous plan was going to be in vain.

This matter is not without warning, during this period of time, the Zhuge family can be said to be constantly operating, and if you want to create a posture that Chu Xian must abdicate and make way for Xian, in the officialdom of Jingzhou, it is already something that everyone knows.

But in this case, the high-level officials of the Shoufu Pavilion still ignored it, and they didn't take it seriously, even if Zhuge Yanshan prepared a generous gift and went to Yang's house to visit Yang Zhenqing, wanting Yang Zhenqing to come forward and help him, Yang Zhenqing did not respond positively, just played Tai Chi, and returned to Zhuge Yanshan in a few words.

At first, I didn't understand the Tao here, but at this moment, Zhuge Hong figured it out.

In other words, from the very beginning, the senior management of the Shoufu Pavilion did not think about replacing Chu Xian, or even if they considered the candidates, they were afraid that they would not be included in the candidates.

Before, it was more like 'entertaining yourself'.
