When Xu Qi arrived at the Beam Tower, Hong Ruhai was already waiting on the second floor. He prepared a jar of old wine and a few side dishes, and waited for Xu Qi.

On the second floor, there were still the four Jindan monks.

Just like last time, because Xu Qi came this time, the door was closed again around the beam building and no longer received guests. However, Zhang Jingting has just died, and no one in the capital has any thoughts, so he will not attract anyone's attention if he comes here to sing poems and have fun in the beam building.

"Boss Hong. ”

"Mr. Jiuyang. ”

Seeing Xu Qi coming, Hong Ruhai stood up and bowed to Xu Qi: "Tang suddenly invited, and I hope Mr. Jiuyang will not be surprised." ”

"Where, there is a shortage of drinking friends who can drink together. ”

The two sat down, Hong Ruhai slapped the mud seal of the wine jar and poured two bowls of wine. He raised the wine bowl in his hand and said to Xu Qi: "Mr. Jiuyang swept away the tumor for the capital and avenged the Confucian Lord, which is really exciting and admirable. This bowl of wine is to pay tribute to Mr. Jiuyang Jiuyang. ”

Xu Qi picked up the wine bowl, shook his head slightly, and said, "I just did what I could, and Boss Hong has a good reputation." ”

The two of them touched the wine bowl, each looked up, and drank a bowl of wine.

Putting down the wine bowl, Xu Qi looked at Hong Ruhai with a smile and said: "Boss Hong was born in a very noble family, with fine clothes and fine food, but he can practice a rather difficult physical cultivation, and he is even more heroic, which is really rare." ”

This Hong Ruhai is the owner of this beam-wrapping building, and it is naturally needless to say that he is from a very noble family. But it is really rare for such a child of a wealthy family to embark on the most difficult physical cultivation.

This kind of thing is like breaking the mud seal, although it doesn't require any cultivation, but it's not something that a son and brother in fine clothes can do casually. Xu Qi glanced at Hong Ruhai with his red fire true pupils, and he didn't see the slightest true qi in his body, but his physical body was strong, and he put a lot of effort into this body.

It's just that he works hard, but his strength is really not very good. This Hong Ruhai only beat three or five non-cultivated sergeants at most, and when he met those who had cultivated, he really had no power to fight back.

"Let Mr. Jiuyang smile. ”

Hong Ruhai shook his head, looked at his palm, and sighed: "I also wanted to cultivate a good ability, join the army, go into battle to kill the enemy, and bring peace to the country." It's just that...... After all, I have no chance with the battlefield, so I can only boil up my body and strengthen my body in my spare time. ”

"Go into battle to kill the enemy and bring peace to the country?" Xu Qi looked at Hong Ruhai, nodded with a smile, and said, "Boss Hong has good ambitions. ”

Nowadays, the Immortal Dao is flourishing, and most of the small countries around the country are backed by the Immortal Sect. The Dao system of the Xianqing faction is thriving in the country, and the immortal sect behind the surrounding small countries also have friendships, and they have a tacit understanding with each other.

The border is calm, and there has been no war for nearly a hundred years.

How can you go into battle to kill the enemy and say that you are in trouble for the peace of the country?

In Xu Qi's heart, he felt more and more that this Hong Ruhai was interesting.

After drinking a few more bowls of wine, Hong Ruhai asked Xu Qi some questions in the "Jishi An Mince" he wrote, and suddenly changed his words and asked: "I heard a news in the next few days, I don't know the truth, I want to take the liberty of asking, and I also invite Mr. Jiuyang Haihan." ”

"Boss Hong, but it doesn't matter. ”

Hong Ruhai nodded, but he was not in a hurry to speak, and instead waved his hand to the four Jindan monks.

Si Jindan had a hesitant look on his face, but he didn't dare to say more, and he took the order and retreated.

There was no one around, and Hong Ruhai asked: "Mr. Jiuyang, I heard that among the Confucian sects, I intended to nominate Mr. Jiuyang as the first seat of the country, but Mr. Jiuyang politely refused...... I don't know if this news is true or not?"

This matter is extremely secret, and only the Confucian masters of the day know about it, and there is no reason to leak secrets at will. Hearing Hong Ruhai ask this question at this moment made Xu Qi feel unexpected.

Knocking lightly on the table, Xu Qi said with a smile: "Boss Hong's news is well-informed. ”

Hong Ruhai arched his hand and said: "This is just news that I got by accident, and I don't mean to find out Mr. Jiuyang's whereabouts, Mr. Jiuyang must not misunderstand." ”

Through Xu Qi's complexion, he couldn't understand Xu Qi's thoughts. This matter can be big or small, don't let this Mr. Jiuyang feel unhappy.

"Yes or no, it's fine. Even if Boss Hong is curious about me and has the heart to inquire about my whereabouts, it is reasonable. ”

Since Hong Ruhai knew the news, Xu Qi didn't hide it from him, nodded and said, "This is true." As for why...... In the previous meeting with Boss Hong, he also said that he had to act effectively in the state capital in order to show his ambitions. Although the position of the first seat of the country is noble, it is not my goal. ”

"Mr. Jiuyang's ambition, I know a little bit below, but I can also understand why Mr. has this choice. ”

Seeing that Xu Qi was not angry, Hong Ruhai breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He hesitated for a moment and said, "It's just...... Mr. Jiuyang, if you want to do things, you have the power in your hands, and you can do things more easily. If Mr. Jiuyang is the head of the country, and he is in a high position, wouldn't it be much easier to implement what he thinks in his heart?"

Xu Qi shook his head slightly and said: "Being in a high position, although you have authority, you must also be subject to authority and fall into endless trivial matters. Fighting in the court, although it can polish a person's mind and means, it also has to thin up energy. ”

At the beginning, Xu Qi did not want to take over the position of the head of the Guozijian, precisely because of this.

Once he takes over as the head of the Guozijian, Xu Qi will be confined to the capital. He is determined to be in the world, how can he be trapped in the capital, how can he waste time between the government and the opposition?

Xu Qi understands the reason that someone is easy to do things in the lottery, but he is not happy to be limited by authority, and secondly, he has no resources in the government and the opposition, and he doesn't think much about this matter.

Mr. Jiuyang's views are admired by Zaixia. ”

Seeing that Xu Qi was determined, Hong Ruhai no longer said anything more on this topic. As soon as the words changed, Hong Ruhai said with a smile: "It is said that Mr. Jiuyang's personal disciple also participated in this scientific examination? ”

"Boss Hong is talking about Chu Zhou Chu Jiangliu......? Let's borrow the auspicious words of Boss Hong. The position of the first seat of Guozijian can hone a person's ability to see the overall situation and hone his mind and skills. If I really talk about it, he is more suitable than me for the position of the head of the country. ”

Although he did not officially accept Chu Zhou as a disciple, but if he counted it seriously, Chu Zhou was really Xu Qi's personal disciple. Chu Zhou walks on weekdays, and he also calls himself "Chu Zhou Chu River under Mr. Jiuyang's seat", in the eyes of others, Chu Zhou has worshiped under Xu Qi's seat and is Xu Qi's personal disciple.

Now that Hong Ruhai is talking about this matter, it also reminds Xu Qi of this twist. Although Xu Qi didn't care, Chu Zhou had always regarded himself as a student and subordinate, and he was forced by Xu Qi's request to call Brother Xu when no one was around.

Now that Xu Qi's reputation has risen, his influence will become bigger and bigger in the future, and I don't know how many people are cast under the door. Although Xu Qi felt that it didn't matter, he also had to give Chu Zhou an official identity, so as not to embarrass him in the future.

As for saying that the position of Guozijian is more suitable for Chu Zhou, this is not false. Although Chu Zhou has study tour experience, he is also different from the poor and rotten Confucians in Confucianism, but after all, he lacks some vision and mind to look at the overall situation, and lacks some thinking and skill in doing things. If he is really put in the position of the head of the Guozijian and honed for a few years, Chu Zhou will be able to take charge on his own.

It's just that Chu Zhou's reputation is not obvious now, and he doesn't have the cultivation of the grandmaster Confucian, and he has no qualifications. From the position of the first seat of the Guozijian, Chu Zhou is still too far away.

The speaker has no intention of listening, Hong Ruhai listened to Xu Qi's words, and secretly moved in his heart, and changed his mind.

After turning over this article, Xu Qihong Ruhai and the two were chatting. From the general trend of the world to the people in the market, the strange things among the demon clan immortal sect, and the history of the rise and fall of the past and present, are just like two drinking friends drinking and chatting.

Xu Qi thought in his heart that Hong Ruhai had something to do on him, so he had today's invitation. But until a jar of wine was drunk and Xu Qi said goodbye, Hong Ruhai didn't mention anything similar.

If Hong Ruhai wants nothing in his heart, it is impossible. He was born in a very noble family, but he befriended Xu Qi, an old demon of the demon clan, and gave him a great reputation.

Who believes that he asks for nothing?

It's just that what makes Xu Qi curious, what is the thing that this very interesting Hong Ruhai is asking for in his heart? What is the identity and origin of this Hong Ruhai, who was born in a very noble family?

Hong Ruhai understands himself, and he can get all kinds of news related to himself one step ahead of others. But he didn't know the details of this Hong Ruhai at all, and he couldn't even determine his identity.

Out of the Circumferential Liang Tower, Xu Qi secretly summoned the Sun Capture Law Body, and used the Red Fire True Pupil in the sky, wanting to track Hong Ruhai's whereabouts.

In the red fire true pupils, the aura of Hong Ruhai and the four Jindan monks was very conspicuous. Xu Qi was going to track down, but after these four people left the Beam Tower, their breath fluctuated and disappeared.

High in the sky, Xu Qi manipulated the Sun-Snatching Law Body, and used the Red Fire True Pupil to see the breath in the entire capital in his eyes.

In the capital, the breath of the living people is like a little star, and all of them fall into Xu Qi's eyes. But on the top of the imperial city, there was a purple qi, and Xu Qi couldn't see through this layer of purple qi when he looked at it with his red fire true pupils. The breath of life in the imperial city was covered by this purple qi.

Xu Qi remembered Hong Ruhai's breath, took a cursory look, and found no trace of him in the capital.

Suppressing his thoughts, Xu Qi secretly said in his heart: "Could it be that he is a royal disciple who has left the country, and he is in the imperial city, so I can't trace his breath?" ”

Xu Qi had previously looked at Hong Ruhai with his red fire true pupils, and he also saw that there was a faint purple qi in his body, which was very similar to the purple qi above the imperial city. Saying that he is a royal child is not wrong.

Xu Qi secretly said in his heart: "This Hong Ruhai is really interesting, and he is not afraid of being said to be a royal disciple and colluding with the demon clan." Hey...... What he wants in his heart is only afraid that it is not simple. ”

Xu Qi really doesn't know much about the royal family leaving the country, and he has never paid attention to the royal family leaving the country. Now there is a royal child who suddenly has something in his heart, and Xu Qi is a little interested in leaving the royal family.

It's just that Xu Qi is full of things, Hong Ruhai wants to hide his identity, Xu Qi can also let him go, he is too lazy to put too much effort into this kind of thing
