When Gu Xizhou heard this, he felt that there was a step down, so he shook his hand with a smile and said nonchalantly, "It's okay, I'm just worried about your comfort." ”

Qi Lichen sighed, "In the past, I never thought that one day I would have to care so much about the six princes of the dynasty, I am afraid that this life will not be worthwhile." ”

Gu Xizhou smiled and waved his hand, "You are my person, I should care about you, it is a bit strange to say this, have you really thought about what kind of plans to make next?" ”

Qi Lichen thought for a while, "There is Qingyu Pavilion on the rivers and lakes, and there are six princes in the court, I am afraid that I really don't have to worry about my life, I still want to follow the previous plan, take the imperial examination, and then enter the court as an official." ”

Gu Xizhou nodded approvingly, "Mr. Qi has always had a gully in his chest. ”

Qi Lichen smiled, "The six princes are overrated. ”

"Have you ever wondered where to use your talents?" Gu Xizhou asked.

Qi Lichen thought for a while, "As long as you can help the people, what kind of official you are, no matter if the official position is a big thing or a small one." ”

Gu Xizhou nodded, "Mr. Qi has great ambitions. ”

Qi Lichen smiled, "The sixth prince asked this, didn't he arrange a place for me to go in the future?" Saying that, it seemed a little ridiculous.

Gu Xizhou thought about it and said: "In the court, there are a lot of talented students who have won fame, and they are really outstanding, there are not a few of these poor students, either they are bought by the interests of high-ranking officials and lose their self, or they can't get the appreciation of those people because they insist on themselves, in short, it's sad to watch, you are a genius, if you can stay by my side, I can consider promoting you in front of my father, and it will not be a problem to be an official in the capital at that time." ”

Qi Lichen smiled, "I didn't expect that you know so much about the customs in this court." ”

Gu Xizhou smiled, "I've been in this muddy mess since I was a child, how can I not know?" Have you figured it out? Do you want to be my person? ”

This time it was like asking for a definitive answer.

Qi Lichen was a little hesitant, he didn't belong to anyone, everything he did could only make him alone in this world, and he couldn't trust anyone.

It's been so long that he's not sure he'll be able to keep going.

The pain of walking on this road was too great for him to be sure if he could still bear it and walk alone.

He smiled bitterly, hoping that everything would be solved in the end and that he could find his own answer, but now it was too chaotic, and he didn't have time to think about it quietly, so he could only go against the current in this turbulence.

Seeing that he had not answered positively, Gu Xizhou frowned slightly and asked, "Don't you still think about the old master." ”

"No one can be my master." Qi Lichen said coldly.

Although Gu Xizhou was slightly dissatisfied with this sentence, it was not the time to say it explicitly, so he immediately changed to another tone, "Would you like to be my partner?" ”

Qi Lichen thought about it, and didn't answer yes or no, just nodded slightly.

Gu Xizhou was satisfied, but his eyes were still full of doubt and distrust, Qi Lichen's identity was too strange, and this eccentricity made him have a lot of doubts.

In this way, he just wants to use Qi Lichen's power, if one day he finds that this person is so unfathomable and difficult to control, then he will not hesitate to kill this person.

There will always be many stumbling blocks on the road, but one by one, these stumbling blocks will no longer be a problem.

Just when Qi Lichen was accused in the capital and was controlled by the two parties, a news came from Yanzhou.

While the dam was being built, something suddenly happened, and dozens of workers fell into the surging river, were submerged by the floodwater, and disappeared.

Although this matter is a big matter, as soon as it happened, it immediately spread to the capital, which is also a little strange.

These dozens of workers, whose lives are dying, may have been buried in the surging rivers a long time ago, this matter is not a trivial matter, the project supervised by the imperial court, dozens of lives, I am afraid that speaking out will also make the people lose hope in the imperial court.

The wind direction in the capital is also very calm, and some civil and military officials didn't do anything after knowing about this matter, maybe in their eyes, the fifth prince Gu Jianglin is already a person abandoned by the imperial court, and it is useless to make a fuss about him.

But Gu Xizhou didn't think so.

This time, the emperor suddenly enabled Gu Jianglin, and what he did in the early stage was really good, and he was applauded by the people, and many people in the local area even called Gu Jianglin the river god, because he was the one who could suppress the river demon.

In Yanzhou, more and more people love Gu Jianglin more and more, and there are even children's nursery rhymes singing praises to Gu Jianglin, which is undoubtedly laying a good foundation for Gu Jianglin.

In this case, how can he not panic?

It was hard to find a little flaw in the construction of the dam, how could he not magnify this matter?

And this matter is also a good opportunity to test Qi Lichen, such a talent, this can't be retained and must be killed as soon as possible, otherwise he will grow stronger in the future, he won't be able to control it, wouldn't it be a problem to raise a tiger?

It just needs him to do this, and he must strengthen his momentum and attract the attention of the people before he can make a fuss in it, and this first step has to be done by Qi Lichen.

Not long after Qi Lichen got the news, he knew the seriousness of this matter, and before he could think of a countermeasure, he was approached by the people of the Six Princes, he was a little unclear about what was going on, Gu Xizhou didn't come in person, but just brought him a letter.

Qi Lichen took the letter and thanked the visitor before returning to the room to read it.

The letter said that Gu Xizhou asked him to help, with the help of the power of Qingyu Pavilion, to publicize this matter on the rivers and lakes, he must have something to do with Qingyu Pavilion, so he did not ask, but ordered directly.

Qi Lichen frowned, this is probably the child of the royal family, in order to inherit the throne by unscrupulous means, when others were worried about this matter, but Gu Xizhou was thinking about the struggle for power, he laughed and put the letter down.

Bai Bing brought food for him, glanced at the letter, knew the contents, frowned and asked, "What should I do now?" This matter cannot be left undone, if even the six princes are offended, then there will be no one in the court to help the prince, this matter is really difficult to do. ”

"There is a way that is not difficult to do, that is, to leave everything in the court, return to the rivers and lakes, and with the power of Qingyu Pavilion, I'm afraid no one will be able to find us." Qi Lichen didn't seem to believe himself when he said this, laughed and lowered his head.

Bai Bing immediately persuaded: "Childe, we have finally come to this point, how can we give up easily?" ”

Qi Lichen turned his head to look at him, "If you weren't carrying the same thing as me, now think about it, what is the most beautiful thing in the world?" ”

Bai Bing couldn't imagine it for a while, and only after a long time did he say: "I don't know, I just know that we have to complete our business now." ”

"Sometimes I don't even understand if it makes sense." Qi Lichen smiled bitterly, "Forget it, thinking that all this is just a mediocre disturbance, many things, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge." After speaking, he smiled faintly, looked at the contents of the letter again, and then said: "It doesn't hurt to do this kind of thing, go do it." ”
