"Cheng Xiang, I haven't seen you in the past few years, you have changed a lot. Li Yanji said.

"Brother Li is the same. Qi Chengxiang smiled.

"I heard that you got the top student?"

"This, it was Lord Chu who forced me, but I didn't expect to pass the test. ”

"This is a good thing, it shows that Lord Chu intends to cultivate you into officialdom. ”

"In the future, let's talk about it, I prefer to always be by Lord Chu's side. ”

Li Yanji glanced at Qi Chengxiang meaningfully, looked around, and whispered: "A few days ago, I saw a few cave candle guards in the city, but they were not on the staff. ”

Qi Chengxiang's pupils shrank, but he didn't speak.

Li Yanji didn't ask much, but said: "This time, even Lord Cui has lost his eyes, but fortunately, Lord Chu gave Master Cui a hint, so Lord Cui can find out the matter." ”

Qi Chengxiang smiled, but still didn't speak, there were some words, even Li Yanji, he couldn't say.

Li Yanji couldn't help it, thought about it, and finally asked, "This time, is Lord Chu using Master Cui as a chess piece?"

The air, suddenly quiet.

Qi Chengxiang was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and replied: "Lord Chu, I respect Master Cui very much, and I regard Master Cui as a teacher, this will not change at any time." ”

Li Yanji understood, then smiled bitterly and sighed: "Lord Cui said that I am not suitable for entering the officialdom, but Cheng Xiang, you have the true biography of Lord Chu, even if you enter the officialdom, you will definitely be able to make a difference." ”

When Cui Huanzhi left, Chu Xian was sent outside.

"Chu Xian, the case has come to light, I will also leave to return to Jingzhou immediately, you are famous this time, the official position will definitely change, you must be mentally prepared, Jingzhou, I can move, I will help you move, in short, officialdom should take your time, don't be impatient, but I believe that you can handle anything, which is also my most assured." ”

Cui Huanzhi looked at Chu Xian, and after speaking, he left with Li Yanji.

Chu Xian stood on the side of the street for a long time before turning back.

Chu Xian knew that Cui Huanzhi didn't see anything, but just like he knew Cui Huanzhi and trusted Cui Huanzhi, the other party also understood and trusted him, so in the end, he still didn't ask anything.

So Chu Xian was very moved, if the time was ripe, Chu Xian decided that he would tell Cui Huanzhi about this time.

When he was about to walk to the door of the house, Chu Xian saw a figure on the corner of the street.

"Qi Daochang, go back and tell my mother, I'll go to see an old friend, and I'll come back when I talk about the old days. ”

After speaking, Chu Xian walked towards the figure, but Qi Chengxiang didn't ask much, just glanced at the figure with a look of jealousy, and then returned to the Chu family's mansion.

In the middle of the night, in an extremely remote tavern in Chunjiang City, Chu Xian sat on the side of the square table, looking at the candle flames, sitting on the opposite side.

Under the flickering light and shadow, it was a rather charming woman's face.

If Cui Huanzhi is here, he will definitely be able to recognize that this woman is the same woman who accused Chu Xian of forcibly occupying the people's daughter.

But at this moment, where does she have the previous appearance of hysterically framing Chu Xian in the public court, but there is a kind of unfathomable and even more cold.

"This wine is old, the taste is mellow, now the moon is dark and the wind is high, you and I drink together, drunk in the dead of night, it is enough to make people reminisce, but I don't know if there will be such an opportunity in the future?" The woman asked, not knowing whether she was asking Chu Xian or herself.

Chu Xian took a sip of wine and said: "Your father's case, if there is no accident, it will be rehabilitated soon, this is the momentum I created, with the backing of the Wensheng Academy, many of the other Wensheng cases back then will be rehabilitated, this is not in vain for us to plan for three years, besides, you participated in the planning of this matter, if it wasn't for your help, I really couldn't do it alone." ”

The woman over there smiled: "I just helped a little, it's you who really leads, to be honest, I'm very happy that you can help me." ”

Chu Xian also smiled: "When the case is rehabilitated, you can also restore your official position, and I have something to do in the future, I have to find you, oh, by the way, Wang Ling and Zhu Mi will have to think of something for them to return to the Cave Candle Division." ”

The woman opposite shook her head: "The things you and I are planning must not be exposed, and the safest way is to extinguish the mouth, so that no one will know about it......"

Speaking of this, the woman saw Chu Xian staring at herself, and she paused for the moment, and then said helplessly: "Okay, if you don't kill, you won't kill, Wang Ling and Zhu Mi were trained by you, they are loyal, but loyalty can guarantee a year or two, or even three or five years, but if it takes ten or twenty years, people's hearts will change, once they say it, you and I can still escape the pursuit of the Yang family?"

Chu Xian nodded: "People's hearts are unpredictable, this is a fact, but ten years, twenty years, I am sure that when the time comes, I will fight against the Yang family, even if the matter is revealed, what are I afraid of?"

These words, said domineeringly, the woman opposite was wonderful, staring at Chu Xian with a deep admiration.

After a moment of silence, the woman actually began to stretch out her thin fingers and slowly remove the human skin mask on her face, this process was a little weird and terrifying, especially in this dim light, but her movements were very slow, with a sense of beauty.

Finally, the skin was peeled off, revealing another beautiful face.

This face belongs to Ji Wen.

Although she smiled, her expression had a kind of decline: "I don't understand, where is my Ji Wen not as good as the Miss Li family, her father is a doctor of imperial medicine, the respect of medical immortals, but one day, I will definitely surpass, I can do this." And Chu Xian, if you want to climb up in the officialdom and sit in the position of a first-class immortal official, my help to you is far greater than her, why did you choose her and not me?"

Chu Xian's head was big, but he was calm on the surface: "I told you, this may be fate, I owe her in my previous life, so I must pay it back in this life." ”

"Then why doesn't she like you? Why do you have unrequited love? Besides, your theory of fate may not be reliable, Yang Ke people call the fortune of heaven, but he still suffered a loss under the calculation of you and me, although he was only captured and did not die, but if he wants to return to the holy pilgrimage, it is also very difficult. Ji Wen's expression was a little stubborn, and a little, aggressive.

Chu Xian's expression remained unchanged: "It is not difficult to master the dynamics of Yang Ke, the difficult thing is to master the dynamics of the Wu Clan, guide Yang Ke and even help him kill the Wu Clan's Xuanjing Sacrifice, in fact, it may not be able to lead to the sacrifice of the Dark Moon level to take revenge, this is just a plan for you and me, not to mention, the High Priest of the Dark Moon who captured Yang Ke already has the power to restrain fate, so he is Yang Ke's nemesis, these, you and I can't count, don't you think, this is fate?"

Ji Wen stopped talking.

Calculating Yang Ke, she made suggestions, from Yang Ke's personality and way of acting, as long as he was secretly guided, he could find an opportunity to kill the Wu Clan's Xuan Realm sacrifice on the battlefield.

In this way, it will inevitably attract revenge from the Wu Clan, especially since I have long known that the Xuanjing Sacrifice is not small, and his father is a Dark Moon level sacrifice, so this calculation is more certain.

But as Chu Xian said, there are too many coincidences and deliberateness in this, is it really fate?

Ji Wen couldn't think of a rebuttal, but Chu Xian apologized in his heart, he couldn't tell Ji Wen that many things were bound to happen, as long as he had insight into the future, he had the so-called ability to predict the future.

No one can compare to themselves in this regard.

That's where the strength of a reborn comes in.

Of course, even if it is Ji Wen, Chu Xian can't explain it to her.

Then the two of them were speechless, the wine in the cup was exhausted, and Ji Wen got up: "I'm leaving, Lord Chu's two heirloom works have become famous all over the world, and if you want to be promoted to an official and add products, it's just around the corner, Ji Wen, I wish Lord Chu that you are getting promoted." ”

After saying that, the negative qi left.

Chu Xian is used to it, and he can't see that Ji Wen's move is mostly acting.

Thinking of Ji Wen's appearance, his figure, and his strategy, why can't he turn a blind eye, take her into his pocket, and raise her outside, this is not something that many men dream of?

What's more, if she says it herself, she will definitely agree.

It's just that this idea is just thinking about it, if you really want to do it, forget it.

Chu Xian got up and also walked away.

There is wine in this tavern but no one is there, apparently it has long been acquired by Ji Wen and them, and it is used as a place of contact on weekdays, but in the future, no one should come.

......

The chronicles of rivers and rivers can have a long-term impact, even if they are decades, hundreds, or even thousands of years later, they can be regarded as classics by the world and regarded as must-read.

Comparatively speaking, the shock of the introspective theory was greater, and in a short period of time, the entire pilgrimage was plunged into a discussion, or rather a controversy, because of this book.

The focus of controversy lies in several cases of civil imprisonment in recent years.

In fact, there are not a few officials who have fallen into lawsuits, imprisoned, or even died because of commenting on the affairs of the sages, and some of them are indeed misbehaving, insulting the sages and saints, and it is reasonable to be asked, but there are many just normal comments, but they are also accused of 'disrespect', just like Ji Wenhe.

Some people make a big fuss about this kind of thing, by suppressing others, stabilize themselves, and gain power, but there are also people who are not used to this kind of harsh prison matter, but it involves all aspects and cannot find an entry point.

And now, Chu Xian's "Theory of Self-Reflection" is an excellent starting point.

If there is no previous chronicle of the rivers and rivers, I am afraid that a mere introspection theory is not enough to drive a trend and forces from all sides to crusade against the trouble of civil prison.

However, with the foreshadowing of the history of the rivers and rivers, with Chu Xian's fame, and with Chu Xian's current momentum, all forces are also active, among them, the officials who have long wanted to abolish the scourge of the literary prison are now seizing the opportunity to write their own books to crusade against the recent disaster of the literary prison, saying that if this continues, all the scholars in this world will become flatterers, and where will there be people who tell the truth and tell the truth? When the time comes, the literati are afraid of violating taboos when they speak and write, and it is not too sad, and it will hinder the development of the holy pilgrimage.
