Seeing that the master was sad and speechless, Xiaozhi immediately pursed his lips and said to Zhou Bo angrily: "I didn't expect that I really know people and faces, Zhou Guanren, you are so disappointing." Hmph, since my wife came to Ezhou, she has been persuading the husband to push off the marriage contract with the Xu family, until the night before yesterday, my father-in-law wrote a resignation letter and sent it to the Xu family. Zhou Guanren, are you?"

"Xiaozhi, what are you talking about!" Qin Han immediately pulled Xiaozhi and reproached in a very serious tone, her pretty face blushed and lowered her head a little.

Xiaozhi was unwilling to continue talking, but seeing that his master was angry, he immediately didn't dare to say any more, just pouted and glared at Zhou Bo unhappily.

Zhou Bo heard some news from Xiaozhi's words, and it seemed that Qin Han's father Qin Lang was also a snob. Qin Han persuaded his father to withdraw from the marriage since he returned to Ezhou, and it was obvious that it was not smooth at first. Later, after Xu Wenbo's case came out, Qin Lang felt that the reputation of the Xu family had been greatly damaged, so he naturally didn't want to marry the Xu family anymore, so he obeyed his daughter's wishes and immediately resigned from the marriage contract.

From this, he can see that it is even more difficult for him to chase Qin Han's heart. In ancient times, there was no such thing as free love, and if there were no parents in charge of marriage, it would never be established. He sighed secretly, since this is the case, he has nothing to worry about, and men still focus on their careers first.

"Dare to ask Qin Niangzi if there are any other instructions?" he said bluntly, deciding to say goodbye to Qin Han.

Qin Han glanced up at Zhou Bo, and finally said, "The slave family is here to explain to Zhou Bo this time. Naturally, there is nothing else. Since Zhou Bo is busy with military affairs. Then leave it at that. After saying that, she stood there and hesitated for a moment, then finally called the twig and turned and walked to the other end of the alley.

Zhou Bo looked at Qin Han's delicate back, and could only sigh to himself, such a beautiful woman is not available, this era is really sad. However, at this moment, a strong ** suddenly ignited in his heart, and he wanted not to let others underestimate him. You have to get ahead. This idea had been thought of many times before, but not once was it so strong and impulsive as it is now. As a person who has traveled through the 21st century, he has such a unique advantage, if he can't mix up a famous hall, it is really a great sadness.

Thinking of this, he sank down, since the beautiful woman is gone, he doesn't need to stay longer. So with a serious look, he turned and returned to the western camp.

After returning to Xiying, I made a handover. Zhou Bo went back to the wing room to rest with nothing to do. These days, the water in the city is not sufficient, and the weather is still extremely hot. After a casual exercise, I sweated profusely. He remembered that since he was transferred to serve in the west camp of Ezhou City, he had not taken a bath until today. But fortunately, I've gotten used to it for a long time, and the sour smell on my body is not significant.

He sat at the table in the wing, holding Fan Yang's hat in his hand and fanning the wind, but he was still thinking about the picture of saying goodbye to Qin Han just now, it seemed that he still had some feelings for this little beauty in his heart.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door.

Zhou Bo put down the Fan Yang hat in his hand, got up and walked towards the door, and asked, "Who is outside the door?"

"Zhou Duguan, a certain Chen Xianzhi and Master Gao Xue Gao came to visit you. Chen Xianzhi's voice came from outside the door.

Zhou Bo was slightly stunned, what did Chen Xianzhi and Gao Xue do when they came to him? Since the Xu Wenbo case happened, he was actually very wary of Chen Xianzhi and Gao Xue, after all, these two deputy envoys were Li Hui's subordinates, and now that he had taken refuge in Zhai Xuan, he naturally formed a-for-tat political stance with these two people. And when he was supervising the military affairs of Xiying in the past few days, he also found that Chen Xianzhi and Gao Xue's attitude towards him had changed a little.

When he was just in Xiying, although he was transferred by Dong Hao, he was not a subordinate under Zhai Xuan's direct jurisdiction after all, so Chen Xianzhi and Gao Xue were polite to him. It's just that after the Xu Wenbo case, Zhai Xuan has been recommending him to succeed Xu Wenbo as the head of Xiying these days, even a fool can see that Zhai Xuan has regarded himself as a confidant.

At this time, Chen Xianzhi and Gao Xue came to find themselves, weren't they demonstrating?

He wasn't sure what the comer meant for a while, so he didn't think much about it, and he would see each other after the meeting. He came to the door and opened the door, Chen Xianzhi and Gao Xue standing outside the door were both wearing civilian clothes, judging from the smiling faces of the other party, it seemed that they were not looking for fault with themselves.

"Vice Envoy Chen and Vice Envoy Gao came to the Humble House, which made Zai Cheng fearful. Zhou Bo immediately said in a flattering tone.

"Look at what you said, Zhou Duguan, this is too out-of-the-box. Gao Xue laughed twice, shook his finger and said.

"Zhou Duguan has been proud of the spring breeze recently, Xiying is such a big place, Zhou Duguan still uses such polite words to greet a certain class, it is really a noble person who does not care about old friends. Chen Xianzhi also said with a flattering smile.

Zhou Bo was really unexpected, and he was even more puzzled in his heart, what tricks did Chen Xianzhi and Gao Xue want to play? He smiled again and again and said: "It's a lowly slip of the tongue, it's a humiliation slip, let the two adults laugh, please come in." ”

welcomed Chen Xianzhi and Gao Xue into the house, and invited the two of them to sit down in the small living room.

"Brother Zhou, you are terrible, during this time, the old men in Ezhou City have been arguing about the affairs of our new capital in Xiying, and there is no mention of your name, Brother Zhou. Not long after he sat down, Gao Xue stroked his beard and said with a meaningful smile.

Chen Xianzhi nodded in agreement, and then said: "Exactly, exactly, look, Zhou Duguan has become a household name in Ezhou within a few days of taking office." Alas, it is naturally a good thing if people are famous, especially to let the above fathers and gentlemen know that there is such a person. Promotions or vacancies in the future. That's handy tight. ”

Zhou Bo smiled. said: "Deputy Envoy Chen, Deputy Envoy Gao, aren't you two laughing at the bottom? Fortunately, the sky has eyes, and the two deputy envoys have been able to rehabilitate him smoothly. ”

Chen Xianzhi secretly thought: This kid is really good at talking, and Lao Zhou and I didn't help at that time. He laughed twice. It was a shift in his gaze, and then he said: "Zhou Duguan, today a certain family and Gao Da came to visit you, in fact, it is not for other things, I still want to discuss with Zhou Duguan about the new Dadu of our Xiying." ”

Gao Xue saw that Chen Xianzhi had turned the topic to the topic, but he was stroking his beard on the side, with a look of not planning to interject and say more.

Zhou Bo remained silent and asked, "Oh? It's just a matter of the appointment of the majority of the capital of Xiying. Where do you dare to speak beyond the ranks?"

Chen Xianzhi's face gradually became serious, and he smiled lukewarmly. said: "Zhou Duguan, there is no one else here, we might as well put it aside if we have something to say, so it will be more convenient for everyone." ”

"What Deputy Envoy Chen said is extremely true, but I still don't understand it, isn't what I said directly enough?" Zhou Bo said insistingly, he was a little worried that Chen Xianzhi and Gao Xue were specially sent by Li Hui to test him, so it was inevitable to be cautious when speaking.

Chen Xianzhi and Gao Xue glanced at each other, and both of them showed a hint of a smile. Chen Xianzhi continued: "Zhou Duguan is still too much for you, since it is inconvenient for Zhou Duguan to talk about it, then let a certain family and Gao Da take the first step to be open and honest, so that Zhou Du Guan can understand the mind of a certain and Gao Da. ”

Zhou Bo didn't speak, waiting for Chen Xianzhi's so-called "openness and honesty".

"Zhou is in charge, we are all people who understand, Zhai Xianggong so strongly supports Zhou Duguan to take over as the capital of Xiying, although this matter is too unusual, but after all, it is not without precedent. According to the speculation of a certain and Lord Zhou, the position of the majority of the Xiying is the one who is in charge of Zhou. Chen Xianzhi said calmly, without any joke or flattery.

For this, Zhou Bo was surprised, Chen Xianzhi and Gao Xue represented Li Hui's interests, but at this moment Chen Xianzhi said such a thing, could this also be what Li Hui meant? But some can't say it, Li Hui and Zhai Xuan are mortal enemies, how can they help themselves when this interest is about to rush?

"What does that mean?" he asked, confused.

Chen Xianzhi smiled and said, "Zhou Duguan, if a certain family is not wrong, you have always thought that Li Xuanfu and Zhai Xuanfu are mortal enemies, right? Although it is normal for Zhai Xianggong and Li Xianggong to hold their own opinions on the overall situation, which is also very normal, which one of those officials does not have his own ideas and opinions? Zhou Duguan, are you right?"

Zhou Bo was really surprised by Chen Xianzhi's words, Chen Xianzhi, no, what exactly does Li Hui want to say to himself? He was silent for a while, and then slowly nodded and replied: "What Deputy Envoy Chen said is extremely true. ”

Chen Xianzhi nodded with satisfaction, and then further said: "In fact, in the past few days, the ministers and lords in Ezhou City have been a little uneasy about Zhou Duguan, compared to Zhou Duguan, you have just been transferred to Xiying for only ten days, and you have been promoted to Dadu for more than ten days, I am afraid that it will seem hasty." However, Li Xianggong overrode public opinion and strongly supported Zhou Duguan to take over the position of Dadu Guan. ”

The more Zhou Bo listened, the more confused he became, was this person who supported him Zhai Xuan or Li Hui? He believed that Chen Xianzhi was naturally not making up right and wrong here, and this kind of big thing would never be said so easily. But he still can't believe it, what is this Li Hui's intention?

"Just yesterday in the Zhizhou Yamen, Li Xianggong also praised Zhou Du in front of everyone, praising Zhou Du for being cautious, caring and quite methodical, even though the qualifications are still shallow, but you have the spirit of unremitting efforts. Moreover, at present, Ezhou is an extraordinary period, and it is reasonable to promote talents exceptionally, so it is understandable that most of Xiying will be in charge of Zhou Du and you will take over. Chen Xianzhi continued.

"Since Vice Envoy Chen said that he was going to put things away, why did he not understand the more he listened?" Zhou Bo asked bluntly. Since you can't guess the reason, it's better to let Chen Xianzhi understand what he said. Since Li Hui asked Chen Xianzhi and Gao Xue to come to him, if he didn't figure it out, then Chen Xianzhi and Gao Xue would be derelict in their duties.

Chen Xianzhi smiled indifferently and said, "Don't you still understand Zhou Duguan? It was Li Xianggong who supported Zhou Duguan's transfer to Dadu from beginning to end, and Zhai Xianggong never said a word for Zhou Duguan except for taking out Xu Wenbo's Baolu's document and reading it again." ”

Zhou Bo was stunned, he hadn't been to the Zhizhou Yamen these days, and he didn't know the process of negotiating the position of the chief minister of Xiying in Ezhou City. If what Chen Xianzhi said was true, then he admired Li Hui a lot. It is not difficult for him to guess now that Li Hui must have known that Zhai Xuan wanted to promote himself to the position of the governor of Xiying, so in the discussion meeting of the past few days, he deliberately rushed ahead of Zhai Xuan and proposed that he be promoted to the governor of Xiying.

Zhai Xuan and Li Hui have been intriguing since they gathered in Ezhou, Zhai Xuan said east, Li Hui must go west. Therefore, as soon as Li Hui's proposal to preemptively protect Zhou Bo came out, it made Zhai Xuan feel unhappy. Even though Zhai Xuan will not be so easily deceived, or that Zhai Xuan will not be as ignorant as a child, but Li Hui's draft will at least make Zhai Xuan suspicious, that is, is there anything between Zhou Bo and Li Hui behind his back?

After all, Zhou Bo used to be under the command of Pushengxiang, and Pushengxiang was Li Hui's old headquarters, although after the defeat of the Xiangyang Campaign, Pushengxiang's entire army was wiped out, but many of Li Hui's subordinates in his hands were transformed from Pushengxiang's army.

What's more, when Zhai Xuan actually noticed Xu Wenbo's case, Zhou Bo took out Li Hui's name at the last moment to press him, so he naturally had to pay more attention to this. From this point of view, Zhai Xuan is now unsure of which side Zhou Bo is on, so he has to have reservations on the issue of Xiying Metropolitan Manager taking over.

Zhou Bo sighed secretly, this is good, Zhai Xuan began to suspect himself, and he had never been cared for by Li Hui, how should he gain a foothold in Ezhou, a land of right and wrong, in the future?

"Vice Envoy Chen, can you take this seriously?" he asked suspiciously. This question was something he dared to say after careful consideration, and to Chen Xianzhi's ears, it meant that he had fallen into a state of hesitation and helplessness.

Chen Xianzhi really smiled, with a somewhat smug smile, and he said: "Zhou Duguan, how dare I lie to you about such a big thing." And I can't do it. Isn't it?"

Zhou Bo pretended to be anxious and fell silent.

Chen Xianzhi and Gao Xue glanced at each other again, and this time Gao Xue spoke: "Zhou Duguan, what are you worried about now? Since Li Xianggong supports you to serve as the capital of Xiying, this position will be yours sooner or later, and Zhou Duguan should be happy now." ”

Zhou Bo glanced up at Gao Xue and asked, "Lord Deputy Envoy Gao, is this really what Li Xianggong meant?"

Gao Xue nodded solemnly, and said solemnly: "Deputy Envoy Chen has already said it just now, how dare we joke with Zhou Duguan about this matter? This is indeed what Li Xianggong meant." ”

Zhou Bo finally understood Gao Xue and Chen Xianzhi's purpose of coming to him this time, it was right for the two of them to test themselves, but to a greater extent, they came to convey Li Hui's subtext to win him over. He knew that Zhai Xuan didn't trust him now, and it would indeed be a good thing if Li Hui could cover himself, but why should Li Hui support himself? )
