He is just a small person who is ready to skip a grade and transfer to Xiying to become a young man, and he does not have any power and power in Ezhou City, so what is his value? Could it be that Li Hui is completely trying to work against Zhai Xuan, so he is trying to win himself over? If this is the case, the stability of this relationship will naturally not withstand scrutiny, and there is no need for him to covet this advantage.

"Lord Chen, Lord Gao, I still don't understand, why does Li Xianggong want to support him as the governor of Xiying?" his face was full of doubts, and his eyes were also vigilant, and he asked without saying anything humble.

"Zhou Duguan finally got to the point. Chen Xianzhi smiled and said.

Gao Xue continued: "Zhou Duguan used to be under the command of Pushengxiang, Pushengxiang was Li Xianggong's old headquarters, although the defeat in the battle of Xiangyang made Pushengxiang's army collapse, but Li Xianggong is a person who misses the old. Moreover, before Zhou Duguan was transferred to Xiying, he once served under the command of Dong Du, and not long ago, he had just made a miraculous feat, and attacked the grain and grass camp of the Qi army at night, which was an indispensable event, which shows that Zhou Duguan is indeed a rare talent. ”

Chen Xianzhi nodded, and said: "That's right, although most of Zhai Xuan's credit for the last night attack on the Qi army camp was given to Dong Hao, but he only transferred Zhou Duguan to Xiying to make up for the lack of a martial artist, which is a big injustice to Zhou Duguan." ”

"Exceptional promotion by leapfrogging the ranks, I am already ecstatic in the next place, why is it unfair?" Zhou Bo said lukewarmly.

Chen Xianzhi was slightly stunned, but quickly recovered and said, "That being said, after this incident. Who is Zhai Xianggong? Hasn't Zhou Duguan seen it yet? Zhai Xianggong will only appoint cronyism. And he is extremely suspicious, if Zhou Duguan wants to follow Zhai Xianggong, he is only afraid of difficulties. ”

Zhou Bo was silent for a while, his face softened slightly, and said: "It's just, how can he be in the bottom, how can Li Xianggong afford to be in the bottom?"

Gao Xue smiled, stroked his beard and said, "Who is Zhou Duguan?" Li Xianggong is aware of everything, can't he still see it? There are three of us here now, and there are no outsiders, so we can speak outward if it is inconvenient. With all due respect, Xu Wenbo, the former capital of Xiying, designed to frame Zhou Duguan, but instead was countered by Zhou Duguan's scheming and clever words, and finally Xu Wenbo's life was almost lost, this trick is not something ordinary people can do. ”

After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Bo with a deep look in his eyes, as if he was admiring. As if admonishing.

Chen Xianzhi said: "Indeed, Li Xianggong just took a fancy to Zhou Duguan and had the means. It will definitely be great in the future. In addition, on the day of Xu Wenbo's case, Zhai Xuan obviously had the intention of shielding Xu Wenbo, and since Zhou Duguan was able to mention Li Xianggong's name at the last moment, it can be seen that Zhou Duguan still has a lot of affection for Li Xianggong!"

Zhou Bo secretly scolded, these two old foxes are really able to speak, and they can break anything, in the 21st century, it would be a pity if they didn't go to be cross talk actors or insurance salesmen, you must know that your impression of Li Hui in your heart is not good, and when you were in Xiangyang City, you planned to run away with Li Hui, but you were directly betrayed by this guy.

Although he muttered in his heart, his face remained calm and said, "Li Hui really thinks so?"

"What's fake?" Gao Xue said with a smile.

"Zhou is in charge, Li Xianggong has never been jealous of talent, on the contrary, he attaches great importance to meritocracy. It's just one thing, no matter which prime minister he is, he hopes that the talents he has cultivated are loyal, not towards Qin and Twilight, stepping on two boats with one foot, should it be very clear that this single week?" Chen Xianzhi confidently began to say the end, in his opinion, Zhou Bo now has no other choice but to take refuge in Li Hui.

Zhou Bo sighed and said, "Li Xianggong's kindness is unforgettable. Alas, I didn't expect that Zhai Xianggong still couldn't compare to Li Xianggong in terms of instruments. ”

He wished he could find Li Hui's backer now, otherwise it wouldn't be long before Zhai Xuan would start suppressing him. Although he is still not sure what Li Hui's intentions are for him, in this era of interests, as long as he can reflect his value, he will naturally not be abandoned so easily.

When they have no power, they can only be willingly taken advantage of! Of course, the saddest thing is not that they are "used by others," but that they have no value in "being used by others."

"Zhou Duguan is really a person who understands current affairs. Hahahaha, I believe that after I relay Zhou Duguan's words to Li Xianggong, Li Xianggong will be very happy!" Gao Xue said slowly.

Zhou Bo knew the meaning of this sentence, and his subtext was nothing more than telling himself that Gao Xue and Chen Xian would monitor him all the time, so that he would not have any disloyal and unrighteous thoughts.

Zhou Bo chatted with Gao Xue and Chen Xianzhi for a while, mainly revealing that he was "unforgettable" to Li Xianggong, "unswerving to death", "grateful to Li Xianggong" and the like, until both of them showed satisfied and proud looks, and then changed to some other gossip. The three of them talked like this for nearly half an hour, and Chen Xianzhi and Gao Xue got up and said goodbye.

After sending Chen Xianzhi and Gao Xue away, Zhou Bo's mood was a little fluctuating, he still underestimated Zhai Xuan and Li Hui, these two old foxes who have been rolling in the military and political circles for so many years, really have a set of tricks and methods. He sighed deep in his heart, the reason why he is now being caught between these two old foxes and played as a monkey is because he has no real power.

He secretly swore that he must make a name for himself as soon as possible, and he would never let others play with him again.

Things were just as Chen Xianzhi and Gao Xue said, and two days later, Li Hui sent someone to invite Zhou Bo to talk to him temporarily. Li Hui's temporary residence was located in the north of Ezhou City, and it was the house of a wealthy family that was requisitioned. When Zhou Bo came here, Li Hui did not invite Zhou Bo to the back hall, but directly talked in front of the generals under Li Hui's command.

These generals are Li Hui's henchmen, and many of them are still from the former Pusheng Xiang Army, but Zhou Bo's former boss is not among them. may be because Li Hui abandoned the soldier where Zhou Bo was in charge of the break in Xiangyang City. So let Zhou Bo's old boss die or surrender directly.

Li Hui was dressed in civilian clothes. Because the weather is getting cooler. also deliberately added a shawl, which looks heroic. It's just that his face maintains a deep scheming and calculating depth, giving people a cold and even negative feeling.

Zhou Bo was really a little nervous in front of so many people, but he tried his best to say in his heart: You are just some ancients, Lao Tzu and I are from hundreds of years later, and I have advanced thinking and historical knowledge than you, and I am not a first-class figure with you.

Thinking like this, his mood naturally relaxed a lot. The whole person also seemed calm.

"Zhou Xunwu, sit down. Li Hui pointed to a vacant chair under the hall and said.

"Xie Li Xuanfu Xianggong. Zhou Bo arched his hand to Li Hui, and then sat down on the chair. Sitting side by side with him was a middle-aged general, with a rough face and a strong temperament, who looked a bit like a bandit.

The bandit-like general just glanced at Zhou Bo lukewarmly, without any emotion on his face.

"Zhou Xunwu, has Zhai Xuan and Zhai Xianggong looked for you these days?" Li Hui asked while slowly looking at the stack of documents on the table.

Zhou Bo didn't know what Li Hui meant by asking, but he replied truthfully: "Back to Li Xuanfu Xianggong, since the Xu Wenbo case. Zhai Xianggong never went to Xiying again. The lowly position is only a small one, and naturally it is not as favored by Zhai Xuanfu as the minister. ”

Li Hui smiled. Said: "Really, how did I hear that on the day of Xu Wenbo's case, Zhai Xianggong also saw Zhou Xunwu alone in the back hall of Xiying, isn't this a favor for Zhou Xunwu?"

Zhou Bo's face changed, Li Hui's words were extremely lethal, and they could almost be regarded as naked questioning, so that he didn't know how to answer for a while. He knew very well that if he was in a hurry to justify his relationship with Zhai Xuan, it would make Li Hui feel that he was opportunistic and steering, but if he admitted his relationship with Zhai Xuan, then Li Hui would naturally distrust himself even more.

This is a dilemma, and it is not possible for him to choose a compromise answer, because there is no compromise in the question itself. If you want Xu Wenbo to be knocked down so easily, it is precisely because this guy feels that he is very capable and can move between Li Hui, Zhai Xuan and the local official group in Ezhou, but it backfired, and when the disaster came, all forces were in a hurry to fall into the well.

He took a deep breath and decided to remain silent and not answer.

"Zhou Xunwu, why don't you reply?" Li Hui asked with a smile still on his face.

"Back to Li Xuanfu Xianggong, the last general doesn't know how to answer. Zhou Bo said honestly.

"Oh? You're interesting. There have always been only two ways to answer a question, one is to answer truthfully, and the other is to answer with lies. But you are ingenious, saying that you don't know how to answer?" Li Hui stroked his beard and said unhurriedly, his expression seemed quite leisurely, and he didn't blame Zhou Bo at all.

Zhou Bo's face was calm, and he didn't mean to panic, and said calmly: "Back to Li Xuanfu Xianggong, Zhai Xianggong did help Xu Wenbo when he was framed by Xia, but recently I heard that Deputy Envoy Chen and Deputy Envoy Gao of Xiying said that Zhai Xianggong seems to have prejudices about Zaixia, which really makes Zaixia feel deeply sad.

Li Hui pondered for a moment and asked, "Zhou Xunwu is really a person who values love and righteousness." His tone was soft, but there was a hint of chill in his voice. Obviously, he was dissatisfied with Zhou Bo's concern for Zhai Xuan's kindness, if the hand he cultivated went to help Zhai Xuan at a critical moment in order to repay his kindness, wouldn't it be a bad thing?

Zhou Mingyu naturally heard Li Hui's tone, and he immediately said: "I thought that Zhai Xianggong had indeed helped Xu Wenbo when he framed him, but in the whole process, Zhai Xianggong also obviously favored Xu Wenbo, trying to exonerate Xu Wenbo, and it was precisely because of this incident that there was a contradiction with Zaixia. Therefore, in the entire Xu Wenbo case, it can be said that he was putting himself to death, but Zhai Xianggong actually did not have the sincerity to help. ”

Li Hui nodded thoughtfully and said, "So that's the case." Of course, Zhou Xunwu, I also know a little about what you said. Zhai Xianggong is too snobbish and likes nepotism, and what Zhou Xunwu said is not unreasonable. ”

Zhou Bo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and finally confused this topic.

Li Hui said again: "I came to Zhou Xunwu today, in fact, there is an important matter to discuss with Zhou Xunwu. ”

Zhou Bo owed a debt and said, "Please make it public." ”

"Presumably Zhou Xunwu should also know that recently, the princes in Ezhou City have been worrying about the affairs of Xiying. I came to Zhou Xunwu today to ask Zhou Xunwu, as a young man in Xiying, do you have any good suggestions?" Li Hui asked directly, but his eyes were as sharp as an eagle staring at Zhou Bo, as if he wanted to see some flaws in this person.

Zhou Bo said: I knew that I would ask this question, Zhai Xuan and Li Hui are both the same dog, and there is nothing new at all. He pretended to think for a while, and then replied: "Li Xianggong, I have only been transferred to the Xiying Shaodu for more than ten days, and most of the Xiying is in charge, so I don't dare to be arrogant." ”

"Zhou Xunwu, do you know that I have been recommending you to take over as the head of Xiying in front of all the ministers and lords these days?" Li Hui was obviously a little dissatisfied with Zhou Bo's middle-of-the-road answer, two days ago he sent Chen Xianzhi and Gao Xue to find Zhou Bo, of course he should know the current situation of the position of Xiying Da Tou, but the other party still pretended not to know.

"Deputy Envoy Chen and Senior Deputy Envoy did mention this matter to Zaixia, and Zai Xia thought that he was still young in seniority and would never be able to take such a heavy responsibility. Zhou Bo said without saying anything. At this time, he didn't feel bored of being played by Zhai Xuan and Li Hui, and decided not to participate in the political wrestling of Xiying Daduguan. On the contrary, on the contrary, he deliberately showed a non-startled appearance in front of Li Hui, firstly, to show his steadiness in the face of trouble, and secondly, to change his views from passive to active.

Since the Xu Wenbo case, Zhou Bo has been the center of high-level attention, a small eight-rank military attache brought down the five-rank boss, and it was only a few days after taking office. It's a sensational thing. And Zhai Xuan and Li Hui always thought that Zhou Bo wanted to cling to one of the forces and get the position of the governor of Xiying, so they used the governor everywhere.

"So, am I looking at the wrong person?" Li Hui snorted coldly, he originally thought that Zhou Bo was a proactive and unscrupulous person who did not achieve his goals, but now it seems that this guy has disappointed himself too much.

"Li Xianggong's cultivation of humble duties, humble duties will never dare to forget. However, if he has the opportunity to make great contributions in his humble position, he will definitely live up to the grace of Li Xianggong. Zhou Bo said solemnly, and after speaking, he stood up from his seat and solemnly saluted Li Hui.

Li Hui was stunned, and for a while he felt that he underestimated Zhou Bo, or that he couldn't see through Zhou Bo at the beginning. Zhou Bo first said that he was "useless and unlucky", and then said that he "lived up to the grace of Li Xianggong's knowledge", which was obviously thinking about the position of the capital of Xiying, but he was suffering from no one to support him. He sighed secretly, this kid really knows how to schem, and he is really a talent. (To be continued.) )
