Chu Xian estimated that Leng Xu must have noticed something, no matter how she said it, she was also a cultivator, and she knew how to do magic, maybe, although she was controlled and captured by the man in black, she was still conscious and knew what happened afterward.

Of course, this is just Chu Xian's guess, and you have to ask Leng Xu about it.

If she didn't want to say it, Chu Xian couldn't do it.

Compared with the sensitive Leng Xu, Shen Ziyi didn't know that he was almost plotted against him, besides, he was burned and confused now, Chu Xian gave him medicine, and the result was only relieved, and when he returned to Jingzhou, Zhongshufu sent someone to pick up Shen Ziyi.

Chu Xian secretly said sorry in his heart, if it wasn't for the rain he got with his magic, Shen Ziyi would not have been contaminated with the wind and cold, but Chu Xian had been diagnosed and treated before, and knew that Shen Ziyi was fine, and he would be able to recover after a few days of rest.

As for Zhao Yanzhen's plot against Shen Ziyi, Chu Xian didn't tell anyone else, not that Chu Xian wanted to deliberately conceal it, or let Zhao Yanzhen go, but that Chu Xian was waiting.

That is, depending on the situation.

Zhao Yanzhen will definitely not admit herself, but after all, she has lost a master at the innate peak level, and it is not an ordinary house slave, so it is impossible for Zhao Yanzhen to easily cover up this kind of thing.

It is very likely that her father, that is, Zhao Heng, the secretary of the Holy Dynasty Military Department, will also ask, and with the existence of Zhao Heng's realm, it is almost impossible to cover it up.

The truth of the matter, many times, is over there, you have a high realm, you can see it clearly, so it is clear at a glance, as long as you think about it a little, you will find flaws in it.

Let's just say that this time in the wild, Zhao Yanzhen's innate peak subordinate died, and Zhao Heng would definitely know about it, and the latter would be able to know Zhao Yanzhen's plan as soon as he checked it, and what virtues these officials had, and what the accompanying guards were, Zhao Heng would definitely be able to find out.

In this way, the only one who can quietly kill the innate master is the only one who has this means.

Even if it was just a guess, Zhao Heng would definitely not do nothing, so what Chu Xian had to do was to wait and see what this Zhao Shangshu would do. This is also a matter of no law, what Chu Xian killed was not a loose cultivator, but an innate peak master with an official background, this kind of thing, it is impossible for no one to pursue it.

Of course, even if the opposite is Zhao Heng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Chu Xian is not afraid, this time he will do things by himself, it is reasonable, and as long as Zhao Heng knows the truth of the matter, not only will he not blame himself, but he will also be grateful to himself.

Chu Xian didn't wait long this time, two days later, Cui Huanzhi suddenly came over, and then told Chu Xian that tonight, Zhao Heng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was going to have a banquet for Cui Huanzhi, and Chu Xian was also included.

Cui Huanzhi is also very human, and he came to Chu Xian at this moment to ask clearly, after all, this is good, and suddenly a banquet is held, there must be something greasy in it.

Chu Xian couldn't tell Cui Huanzhi all about this kind of thing, so he could only say it briefly, saying that it was related to Shen Ziyi and Zhao Yanzhen.

Cui Huanyi listened to it, pondered it, and didn't ask again.

"Although Lord Zhao and Lord Zhongshu are allies in the court, but on weekdays, I don't have much contact with Lord Zhao, he suddenly invited me, mostly to play a buffer, it is very likely, he is mainly looking for you this time, but if you look for it alone, I am afraid of attracting attention, so this is the case. Cui Huanzhi said this, Chu Xian also thought of it, there is no way, in the officialdom, many times, you have to hide it, you can't explain it, you can't do it directly.

This is learning.

The knowledge of officialdom.

Because it is going to the Shangshu Mansion for a banquet, it is not allowed to be sloppy, after all, the Shangshu of the Ministry of War is a dignified martial saint, a third-grade master, and there must be no lack in the number of etiquette.

This point is checked by Cui Huanzhi, naturally, Chu Xian only needs to go by himself, whether it is Concubine Luo, Luo Yong or Chu San, they all have to stay at home.

Even Cui Huanzhi only brought a few guards, and only Li Yanji could step into Shangshu Mansion.

At night, the lanterns are hung on the beams, and the Shangshu Mansion is also bright at the moment, and the chief housekeeper in the Shangshu Mansion personally stands outside the mansion to greet Cui Huanzhi and Chu Xian.

Cui Huanzhi is now a fourth-grade, and Chu Xian is also a sixth-grade, all of whom are officials of the Holy Dynasty, of course, Shangshufu will not be sloppy, and all kinds of etiquette are also in place.

After entering the mansion and entering the hall, I saw Zhao Heng.

In front of Zhao Heng, Cui Huanzhi was also very respectful, and Chu Xian was not stage frightened. This military secretary looked to be only forty or fifty years old, but in fact, Zhao Heng was over one hundred and fifty years old.

However, in the officialdom of the Holy Dynasty, one hundred and fifty years old is nothing at all, it can be said that he is 'in the prime of life', and Zhao Heng is already a martial saint, and the martial saint also belongs to the category of Taoist immortals, but he specializes in martial arts, so Zhao Heng's strength in blood is awe-inspiring.

Chu Xian knew that Zhao Heng was majoring in spear art.

It is said that Zhao Heng has an eight-foot spear in his hand, and when he uses it, it is unparalleled, in the early years, Zhao Heng once marched to fight, and also did clerical county orders, all in the border land, no matter the demons and monsters, he has dealt with them, and he is a civil and military all-rounder.

Such people are the most difficult to deal with.

So even Chu Xian is cautious at the moment.

"Huanzhi, don't be restrained, come, sit down, you have been in the Ministry for a while, I should have talked to you a long time ago, and I should have drunk a drink, this has been a lot of time, I happen to be free today, we have to have a good chat, after all, I have a good relationship with Lord Zhongshu, in the early years, I was also promoted by Lord Zhongshu. Zhao Heng smiled at this time, there was no shelf at all, he was very kind.

Cui Huanzhi nodded and agreed: "I can come to drink Lord Shangshu's wine today, that is also something I have dreamed of for a long time, and today I finally got my wish." ”

Then the two laughed, but one laughed freely, and the other laughed carefully.

After laughing, Zhao Heng looked at Chu Xian again, and said with a smile: "Chu Xian, you are a famous person, don't talk about others, my daughter, Yan Zhen, you have also seen it, her favorite thing on weekdays is your "Jiangshan River Chronicles", to be honest, I have also read it, it is indeed wonderful, it is indeed heavy, the Wensheng Academy's Wensheng is like a torch, and it is set to be a hand-me-down, it is well deserved, and because I heard that you are Huanzhi's protégé, so I invite you to come today, you can talk more about the things when compiling, I am very curious." ”

Zhao Heng spoke, it was natural, it would not make people feel deliberate, this ability was really powerful, but in a high position, who would not have this kind of conversation skills.

Chu Xian also smiled and agreed, and said a few words modestly.

After a few simple conversations, the chief housekeeper in the house over there has already come, invited the three of them to the table, and the banquet is ready.

A round table, more than a dozen exquisite dishes, flower decoration, here is not luxurious, but it is exquisite, more unique taste, after sitting, it is a formal banquet.

Most of the time during the banquet, it was Zhao Heng and Cui Huanzhi who were talking, of course, they would also bring Chu Xian, which would not make people feel left out, and in the middle of the meeting, Zhao Heng actually called Zhao Yanzhen and asked her to talk with Chu Xian.

Chu Xian couldn't figure out what medicine was sold in Zhao Heng's gourd, but he could only chat with Zhao Yanzhen without a word.

It can be seen that although Zhao Yanzhen looks nothing, there is a sad look in his eyebrows, and he is also very nervous, Chu Xian knows that Zhao Yanzhen's two brushes must have been touched by Zhao Heng, and it is estimated that he was reprimanded.

To Chu Xian's surprise, on the entire dining table, Zhao Heng did not mention anything about the wild hunting, but Chu Xian was sure that the purpose of Zhao Heng's banquet was because of the hunting.

Moreover, Chu Xian could feel that Zhao Heng was observing himself.

Satiated.

Cui Huanzhi said goodbye at the right time, Chu Xian naturally wanted to leave together, Zhao Heng nodded, so Chu Xian and Cui Huanzhi said goodbye and left, and it was not until they were outside that Chu Xian reacted.

Although Zhao Heng didn't mention it or asked a word, he actually mentioned it and asked it.

I have to say that when you are an official, what you like most about doing things is metaphors, and you can't understand it at first glance, so you need to think carefully about it to know the implications.

Zhao Heng invited Chu Xian to the banquet, just to tell Chu Xian that he knew that the innate peak master brought by Zhao Yanzhen died in the hands of Chu Xian.

In this, you can get a glimpse of what Zhao Heng said at the banquet.

Zhao Heng said that when he led the troops, he had no choice but to sentence his meritorious subordinates to death, not because the other party made a mistake, sometimes it was a last resort, sometimes it was forced by the situation, and sometimes, it was a coincidence or luck.

The meaning of this sentence, Chu Xian's later taste, was already an obvious hint.

That is to say, Zhao Heng knew that Chu Xian killed his subordinates, but he did not blame Chu Xian, because sometimes he would kill good people by mistake, but there was a reason for this, if it was for the sake of the overall situation, there was nothing wrong with it.

It's very vague, but that's what it means.

In addition, there are many similar obscure words, and Chu Xian can also be sure that Zhao Heng called Zhao Yanzhen halfway, which also has a special meaning in it.

Regarding this point, that is, what Zhao Heng meant, Chu Xian was a little difficult to do.

Because of Zhao Heng's implication at the table, that is, to let Chu Xian help and truly determine the marriage between Zhao Yanzhen and Shen Ziyi.

If his daughter and Shen Ziyi don't deal with each other, it is impossible for Zhao Heng not to know, but for the sake of long-term consideration, it is obvious that Zhao Heng knows that this is something that must be promoted.

So he said a word at the table, to put it simply, that is, Chu Xian and Shen Ziyi are brothers and best friends, and the relationship with Zhao Yanzhen in the future is not ordinary, so let Chu Xian take care of it more and be more tolerant.

Isn't that obvious?

This is the most difficult place for Chu Xian, because Zhao Yanzhen and Shen Ziyi look down on each other, they intrigue with each other, there is only grudges, no friendship, how can these two people match?

In addition, Chu Xian knew that in addition to the above two things, Zhao Heng also had one more thing, that is, please ask yourself not to tell the inside story of this hunt.

It's going to rot in the stomach.

At the banquet, there is a dish called Qiankun roast goose.

At that time, Zhao Heng said: "Qiankun roast goose, it seems ordinary, in fact, there is Qiankun, in the belly of the roast goose, there are chickens, in the belly of the chicken, there are small quails, if you want to be delicious, the meat must be stewed in the stomach." ”

When he said this, Zhao Heng looked at Chu Xian, and Chu Xian could hear the meaning of Zhao Heng's words, that is, these things that Zhao Yanzhen did this time were not allowed to say it by himself, and they would be rotten in his stomach like this dish.
