The antagonistic relationship between the Xu family and the Chen family is not much different from that between the Zhao family and the Sun family.

The difference is that the Sun family can rank in the top three or even the top two in the gate, while the Chen family ranks low in the door, and because of the discord with the prime minister over the years, the benefits of the men's suppression of the door cannot be reaped, not to mention, and they have been squeezed out, and the family's situation is declining day by day, and there is already a risk of crane tailing.

Some time ago, the Liu Mansion overturned, and many important official positions were vacated from the central center to the locality, and the Chen family united several families who were also at odds with the Xu family, recommending each other's family children to fill the vacancies, wanting to take the opportunity to pick up the leaks.

However, it backfired.

The Chen family and other families have gained little, and the majority of the head is still occupied by the Xu family and other families.

For Chen, they have reached the edge of a cliff in the middle of their home road.

In this case, Xu Minglang suddenly visited the Chen family, once he gave a generous condition, the Chen family was afraid that it would be difficult to refuse, and it was not difficult to imagine that he would turn the war with the Xu family.

In the final analysis, there are no eternal enemies and no permanent friends in the power field.

Even if the starting point of everything is not the interests of the family, it will eventually return to the interests of the family, after all, no head of a family can sit back and watch the family decline. That is not fundamentally different from the king of the dead country.

It is obvious that Chen Anzhi's rapid promotion and release is one of the benefits of the Chen family, and he is naturally not the only one of the Chen clansmen with similar treatment.

I just don't know what the Chen family has received from the prime minister and what they have paid.

After Chen Anzhi finished speaking, he turned over and got up from the carpet, and went to find half a jar of wine under the messy food table with all four hands, and raised it quickly, "There is wine today and drunk today." Come, whoever falls first will be the grandson!"

"!" Zhao Ning and Wei Wuxian also turned out of the wine jar.

No one really lay down and couldn't stand up at the wine party this night, and the three of them didn't stay in Yanlailou, although they couldn't stand up straight, they still staggered out of the door.

Chen Anzhi drank the worst, and today he drank the most violently, and he vomited for a while while holding the carriage, and was helped into the carriage by his entourage.

The Chen family's mansion was not in the same direction as the Zhao family and the Wei family, Zhao Ning and Wei Wuxian watched the carriage leave, and stood by the door for a while, the latter said coldly: "This guy should have lived a very aggrieved life in the Ministry of Rites these days, I see that he wanted to scold his mother several times, but in the end he held back."

"In the end, he didn't complain to us, complained, spat on the officials, and complained. This is not Chen Yanjin's character, he has always been straightforward and fast-talking, saying whatever comes to mind, not too brainy. ”

Zhao Ning was a little silent when he heard this.

Although there are Chen clan people in the Ministry of Rites to take care of them, the Book of Rites is from the Pang family, and the Pang family is the Xu family's in-laws, according to the previous relationship between each other, I think Chen Anzhi is not very smooth.

However, this situation has changed, and there is no practical point in saying more, and the grievances of the past can only be swallowed by yourself.

Wei Wuxian grabbed his chin and said: "This guy has always been as hot as fire, he likes to call friends the most, he can't bear loneliness, he doesn't care about etiquette and rules, and he is lonely to serve in the most strict etiquette department, and he has to endure his anger, he is indeed bitter in his heart, no wonder he drinks so fiercely today." ”

Zhao Ning pondered for a moment: "A man has learned to be silent, and he has learned to swallow bitterness by himself, which can be regarded as the first step towards maturity." ”

Wei Wuxian nodded his head, and then made up his mind, "Take advantage of the New Year's Festival, let's go to him for more drinks! ”

Of course, Zhao Ning had no reason to disagree.

In order to make his fox friends and dog friends seriously happy, Zhao Ning and Wei Wuxian summed it up, just drinking and prostituting people naturally can't do it, you have to have strenuous exercise to open your mind, Zhao Ning proposed to learn more from each other, and by the way, you can also cultivate yourself, Wei Wuxian immediately shouted against it.

This afternoon, he had been chased and beaten up the tree, and said that he wanted to practice Zhao Ning to practice, and he would never mix, in order to avoid the pain of flesh and skin, Wei Wuxian even began to pour bad water in his stomach, saying that he wanted to create some opportunities to beat the young handsome man in the family.

For example, deliberately competing with others in the Qinglou, colliding with other people's tents when the eagle is a lackey, pretending to be a thief and thief to rob the rich and help the poor, etc.

The two of them walked to their mounts while taking precautions, and were about to get on their horses, when suddenly there was a commotion behind them, and the two looked back and saw that someone had been beaten out of the building.

This kind of thing is too common in Qinglou, Zhao Ning and Wei Wuxian were not surprised, and they didn't plan to pay attention to it, but when they saw who the person who was beaten was, they looked at each other and chose to help.

The one who was beaten to the point of being unstable was none other than Zhang Wenzheng, the chief flag of the Governor's Mansion. It wasn't an ordinary person who beat him, but a few generals and Korean-style disciples, and I don't know how the conflict broke out between the two sides.

However, those who will fight in the Qinglou, in addition to the rough people in the gangs in the market, there will only be young sons in the family, and the slightly older family members with official status will pay attention to the influence, so as not to damage the reputation.

Because of this, there are no masters among these Korean-style disciples, and as soon as Zhao Ning in the late stage of the Imperial Qi Realm made a move, he put down two of them in the blink of an eye and stopped the others.

In addition, he and Wei Wuxian were both in order to calm the situation, and they didn't really want to fight with people, so the scene was quickly controlled.

"Since we are friends of Zhao Gongzi and Wei Gongzi, we will not pursue it, please do it. The Korean son who was the leader hugged his fists, and turned around with his own people, the Korean style is not the opponent of the Zhao family, and there is no reason not to give this face.

Zhao Ning didn't entangle, just now he had roughly asked the reason, Zhang Wenzheng was not bullied.

Wei Wuxian pulled Zhang Wenzheng, a drunkard who was a bastard, up, and when the other party stood up, he almost fell down by himself, which showed that although his mind was still sober, his body could no longer bear the strength of alcohol.

Zhang Wenzheng was beaten quite miserably, his face was crooked, and he didn't know whether he was beaten to the point of losing strength or drinking too much, he couldn't stand steadily, and one leg seemed to be lame. And this guy didn't have an entourage, and he didn't have anyone to help take care of him.

"Thank you both. Zhang Wenzheng, who was only in his forties and had gray hair on his sideburns, made a crooked salute to explain the reason for this farce.

The thing is very simple, because he wants to drink Yanlailou's signature wine pear blossom white, he often frequents here, in the past, there was not much silver in his pocket, basically he bought wine and left, but now his waist is bulging, so he naturally has to call a Qingqier to play.

I didn't expect to drink too much, and when I went to the thatched house, I collided with the Korean-style disciples, and I vomited all over the family, which led to this conflict.

Zhao Ning saw that Zhang Wenzheng couldn't go back on his own, and he was roughly on the way, so he took the horse and gave him a ride.

Wei Wuxian was completely unsteady because of the strength of the wine, and was taken back by his entourage.

Half an hour later, Zhao Ning helped Zhang Wenzheng, who was stumbling, into the door of his house. Contrary to Zhao Ning's expectations, Zhang Wenzheng's house was poor and cramped, not to mention that he didn't even have a hostess, and there was only an old servant in the family, who was still lame.

Anyway, it is the general banner of the Governor's Mansion, a six-grade official, such a family business is too shabby.

Not long after Zhao Ning entered the door, he found the problem.

The main house with the widest courtyard is not used to live in people, and Zhang Wenzheng, the head of the family, lives in the wing room.

At this moment, the door of the main room was open, and there was red light inside, and there was heat emitting, Zhao Ning saw the stove with bellows at first glance, and a few blades hanging on the shelf that only showed a corner, and felt the slightest wisp of aura, obviously a Fu soldier.

Zhao Ning's heart moved, his eyes were slightly sunk, but he didn't say anything immediately.

Entered the wing room, helped Zhang Wenzheng to the chair and sat down, Zhao Ning also sat down on the other side, glanced at Zhang Wenzheng, who still looked drunk, and got straight to the point: "Zhang Zongqi went to great lengths to lead me to your mansion, just to let me know that Your Excellency is a talisman master?"

"What do you mean by going to great length?" Zhang Wenzheng's face did not change, the old servant came in with tea, and he stretched out his hand to invite.

Zhao Ning said: "Although the pear blossom white is good, Zhang Zongqi often puts it in the wine gourd, but it is not this kind of wine. ”

Unexpectedly, Mr. Zhao was so young that he could distinguish the type of wine by smelling the aroma of wine in Zhang's gourd. Zhang Wenzheng did not deny it.

Zhao Ning didn't drink tea, "Although Zhang Zongqi looks like a prodigal corpse, he is just a vegetarian meal, he is cautious in dealing with people, he never fights with people in the Governor's Mansion, and I have never heard of Zhang Zongqi clashing with people when he was a prostitute."

"Today, Zhang Zongqi was so involved that he couldn't walk, and it just happened for me to bump into him, and it was when I was already out, but it was too coincidental. ”

"Zhao Zongqi is really thoughtful. Zhang Wenzheng said with a glance at Zhao Ning.

Zhao Ning looked at Zhang Wenzheng: "I do need a talisman, but I am not an ordinary talisman. ”

"It just so happens that Zhang is not an ordinary talisman master. Zhang Wenzheng's face was completely drunk.

Zhao Ning raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"

"Zhang will refine amethyst. Zhang Wenzheng said solemnly.

Zhao Ning said: "This is the purpose of Zhang Zongqi tonight?"

"The Zhao family has obtained the Liu family's amethyst mine, so they naturally need a talisman master who can refine the amethyst stone rune soldiers, and Zhang's ability also needs a place to display it. Zhang Wenzheng was blunt.

Zhao Ning chuckled, "It seems that the reason why Zhang Zongqi is dealing with errands in the Governor's Mansion is because he is intoxicated with the way of Fu soldiers and has no time to take care of him?"

Zhang Wenzheng sighed: "To be exact, there is no hope for a career in office, so I can only rely on things and study the way of Fu soldiers that I am good at." It's a pity that Zhang Mouguan has a humble position, and he has exhausted his money, and he has not refined a few decent talismans. On the contrary, he is half a life, middle-aged, and lives like no one or a ghost......"

Speaking of this, he laughed at himself, without showing too much sadness and loneliness, and took a sip of the tea bowl.

Zhao Ning pondered slightly, "Amethyst stone is extremely precious, before the Liu family controlled the direction of sales, and there were very few people who flowed into the people, how did Zhang Zongqi refine amethyst stone runes?"
