Yu Zhengmiao introduced the eldest brother, eldest nephew, Niu Zhengying and others to Chen Gongzhao one by one, and Chen Gongzhao only bowed his head slightly to say hello.

When Shiziling was introduced, Chen Gongzhao's eyes lit up, he looked at Shiziling carefully, and said again and again: "The little brother looks like a talent, extraordinary, and he is really a hero out of a young man, fortunately, fortunately." ”

Shi Ziling hurriedly said politely: "Lord Chen praised it, Shi Ziling is just a nameless junior, how dare you be." ”

Chen Gongzhao said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to be so modest, okay! Let's go in and talk about it, and we must have a few drinks and go later." Saying that, Chen Gongzhao took Shi Ziling's hand and walked inside.

Shi Ziling felt a little surprised when he saw this short and fat old man so enthusiastic, and looked back at the Yu family behind him as he walked.

Yu Zhengmiao, Yu Zhengtian, Niu Zhengying and others looked at each other, and they all understood in their hearts that Chen Gongzhao had come out to greet Shi Ziling, and these people were just touching his light.

But although Shiziling is extraordinary, after all, he is just a junior who doesn't know where the sect is, Chen Gongzhao is not only a court official, but also a master of the city, so he actually gave face to greet Shiziling in person, which is a bit too polite.

Everyone in the Yu family smiled bitterly in their hearts, so they had to follow in.

Chen Gongzhao's 50th birthday banquet had 50 tables, which were placed in two halls, the inner hall 20 tables were prepared for close relatives and friends or more important guests, and the outer 30 tables were for ordinary birthday guests.

The Yu family was brought into the inner hall to take a seat, and Chen Gongzhao wanted Shi Ziling to sit at the chair table in the middle of the room.

Shi Ziling tried his best to refuse, insisting on sitting with the people of the Yu family, Chen Gongzhao had no choice but to give up when he saw this, arranged them in the deputy seat next to the main banquet table, and arranged for his second son Chen Zhongjian to accompany him, and then went to greet the other guests.

Compared with Chen Gongzhao's short and fat, Chen Zhongjian and Chen Zhongping brothers are quite well-proportioned, especially this Chen Zhongjian, who can almost be called a beautiful man, but his eyes are a little inverted triangle and look not so coordinated.

Chen Zhongjian is very good at talking, and he has a cousin on his lips, and he calls Yu Zhengtian and Yu Zhengmiao brothers very happy. He was also very polite to Niu Zhengying, He Yu Deping and others, and several people in the Yu family had a good impression of him.

Shi Ziling doesn't like him very much, and he doesn't know what to do, since he practiced Kato Eagle's "Dementor **", his mental acuity has doubled, as if he can see through a person's heart, no matter what the other party says or does, Shi Ziling can always rely on a feeling, vaguely aware of the true intentions of the other party's inner world.

For example, this Chen Zhongjian, although he was very polite to the Yu family, Shi Ziling clearly felt that he didn't take the people of the Yu family seriously in his heart, and even had deep disdain for Yu Zhengmiao, Yu Zhengtian and others.

As for himself, Chen Zhongjian not only has a lot of curiosity, but also a little fear and jealousy.

Chen Zhongjian asked with a smile: "Ziling, I heard that you won a lot of money in the 'Proud Building' yesterday and provoked Ye Zhenzhen, I think that in a few days, your Shiziling's name will resound throughout Songhu City." I really admire you, even a top master like Ye Zhenzhen attaches so much importance to you. By the way, I don't know which sect you are from? You must be a famous teacher, right?"

Shi Ziling didn't want to tell him about his amnesia at all, but responded lightly: "I used to learn martial arts for a few days on Dongli Island, and then drifted to the Yu family. ”

Chen Zhongjian was stunned for a moment, as far as he knew, the ancestors of the Yu family were just lay disciples of the Three Qing Sects, and at most they could learn some introductory kung fu of the Three Qing Sects.

If Master Yu had the ability to guide a master like Shi Ziling, would he still be nesting in a rural place like Pan'an County for most of his life, and would he still need to give gifts every year to tie up the Chen family? As for what Dongli Island, Chen Zhongjian had not heard much about, but he would have asked his father Chen Gong to take care of it when he had time.

When the people of the Yu family saw Shi Ziling say this, they obviously didn't want Chen Zhongjian to know about his amnesia, Shi Ziling was now the treasure of their Yu family, since he didn't want to say more, then naturally they wouldn't say anything.

Chen Zhongjian thought for a while, and then asked: "Ziling, I also heard that you encountered the famous underworld figure Shen Tugang on the way to Songhu City, and Shen Tugang also died at your hands, I don't know if there is such a thing?"

Everyone in the Yu family was shocked, this Chen Zhongjian was so well-informed, they had only been in Songhu City for two days, and Chen Zhongjian seemed to know their whereabouts all the way.

Shi Ziling didn't care, and still replied lightly: "Yes, that Shentu Gang is very powerful, I was just lucky, and I wasn't seriously injured." ”

Chen Zhongjian was surprised in his heart, Shen Tugang really died at the hands of Shi Ziling. When Chen Gongzhao's father and son first received the news, they were still a little skeptical.

Unlike outsiders who don't know the true strength of Shen Tugang in Ludao, Chen Gongzhao's news is extremely well-informed, and he generally knows that Shen Tugang's true strength is definitely within 100 of the "Top 100 List", and he can kill Shen Tugang and six or seven "Jiangdong Thirteen Villages" in one fell swoop, even Chen Gongzhao will definitely not be able to do it even if he asks himself.

If it is possible that Shi Ziling and Huang Ying are tied in a bet, then killing Shen Tugang and the six village masters under him in one fell swoop is definitely a manifestation of real strength, and it is impossible for the Yu family to help with those few pieces of waste.

Chen Zhongjian's attitude towards Shi Ziling became more and more respectful, and after chatting a few words, he tentatively asked what Shi Ziling's future plans were.

Shi Ziling didn't seem to understand what Chen Zhongjian meant, and asked Chen Zhongjian rhetorically, "What are your plans?"

Chen Zhongjian glanced at the people of the Yu family and said: "My father recently heard the news that two deputy generals will be added to the city, due to the turbulence of the current situation, the imperial court agrees that the deputy general selected this time can be promoted from the commoners by exception, as long as this person has real talent and real learning and the promotion of the officials of the city, he can sign up." Brother Ziling, you are a young talent, if you are interested in a career, maybe your father can guarantee you to sign up, I don't know what you think?"

Everyone in the Yu family was moved. They thought that after Shiziling became famous, someone would definitely offer a high price to solicit it, but they didn't expect it to come so quickly, let alone that Chen Zhongjian would put forward such tempting conditions.

Yu Zhengmiao, who has been in Songhu City for many years, knows that although the rank of deputy general is not large, he can hold part of the military power according to the law. Military power, in the current era, once you hold military power, even a civilian official who is a few levels older than him will have to give a little bit of thin face.

Although Yu Zhengmiao did not know that there was a decree to increase the number of deputy generals in the Lu Dao Imperial Court, he knew that General Zhou, one of the two deputy generals in the city, died of a violent illness last month.

Although the post of deputy general is not large, it is also very important, and it is inevitable that someone needs to fill it as soon as possible. And if Chen Gongzhao, who is a celebrity under the city guard, is really willing to recommend Baoju, coupled with Shi Ziling's own strength, it may not be impossible to ascend to the post of deputy general in one fell swoop.

Thinking of this, Yu Zhengmiao couldn't help but be deeply worried, he had heard a lot about Chen Gongzhao's character, and his reputation in the city was very poor, if he was willing to protect Shiziling, he would inevitably let Shiziling swear to be loyal to him first, and the good old man who lost his capital bought and sold Chen Gongzhao, but he was afraid that he would never do it.

For a while, everyone turned their attention to Shi Ziling to see how he would decide.

Shi Ziling was also surprised in his heart. Judging from the Chen family's courteous attitude towards him, he thought that Chen Gongzhao might recruit him, but he didn't expect Chen Zhongjian to throw an olive branch of "deputy general".

Although he had lost a lot of memories and couldn't remember his own background, he had a general understanding of the chaos of the world today from his exchanges with the Yu family these days and what he had seen and heard along the way to Songhu City. The life of the common people at the bottom is quite hard, the rich and powerful big families are constantly recruiting troops, and everyone regards strange people with strong force as treasures.

Shi Ziling didn't have much interest in being an official himself, but occasionally he thought about whether he could contribute to changing the way of the world, and if he wanted the people to live and work in peace and contentment, and wanted to vigorously change the current way of the world, he obviously had to have strong strength and power first.

If you really want to do something in this troubled world, this deputy general is really a temptation.

Chen Zhongjian saw that Shi Ziling had been silent, obviously moved and couldn't help but be overjoyed. Although he would not openly solicit Shi Ziling to join the Chen family in front of the Yu family, as long as Shi Ziling had this intention, he would always be able to arrange an opportunity. There are more than one family, even if they are dug into the corner, they don't dare to be dissatisfied.

"I'm sorry Brother Chen, I have no plans to be an official for the time being, Xie Lu thanks you for your kindness. I had a great time as a guard in the Yu family. Shi Ziling finally replied.

Although he was a little tempted, according to his intuition, the people of the Chen family were not kind, and intuitively he did not want to be in the company of such people. What's more, in order to be an official, he wanted him to turn his back on the Yu family and switch to the Chen family, and he couldn't do such a thing.

Chen Zhongjian was quite disappointed, Shi Ziling seemed to be moved, as long as he opened his mouth to reveal a little temptation, then Chen Zhongjian would arrange an opportunity for his father to talk to Shi Ziling secretly.

It's just that Shi Ziling actually refused. For a while, Chen Zhongjian was a little dazed. What the hell does this Shi Ziling think, what can he do as a guard in the Yu family? Isn't that too much of his strength?

The people of the Yu family all let out a sigh, but Shi Ziling still refused in the end, although they all saw that Shi Ziling seemed to be a little tempted. The temptation to refuse the post of lieutenant general is obviously not something that everyone can do.

Niu Zhengying, who is more familiar with Shi Ziling, is still a little worried in his heart, he knows a little bit of Shi Ziling's thoughts. Whenever Shi Ziling saw a large number of hungry people along the way, he would always ask him why the court and the government would let it go, and the conversation also revealed that if he was an official, he would definitely try his best to change this chaotic world.

Niu Zhengying also said with a smile that if all those in power are people like Shi Ziling, it will naturally be a blessing for the people, and peace in the world will be just around the corner. But if it was just if, I didn't expect that today would really give Shi Ziling an opportunity to become an official.

It's just why Shi Ziling categorically refused, is it just because of his promise to the Yu family?

Just as everyone was thinking about it, the guests at the first few tables stood up one after another, and at the same time, a loud shout came from the front: "Lord Castle Keeper has arrived ......"
