Before, the emperor did not give Chu Xiu any additional rewards, or even arranged a position for Chu Xiu, but Chu Xiu did not feel that there was a problem, but accepted it silently.

But when Chu Xiu heard that he was going to Jianjiang Mansion, his calmness was completely shattered.

Chu Xiu knew very well what kind of place Jianjiang Mansion was, it was Ji Chunshen's lair, and the deep hatred between Chu Xiu and Ji Chunshen could not be resolved at all.

Now going to Ji Chunshen's lair to do things, what is the difference between that and a sheep entering the tiger's mouth? If this is the case, Chu Xiu probably doesn't even know how he died.

Chu Xiu's face was solemn, and he was even a little overwhelmed.

"This..."

Ji Chunshen looked at Chu Xiu's expression, laughed out loud, and mocked wantonly.

"Haha, Chu Xiu, you just wait to study hard under my hands."

"I'm going to take it!"

After Ji Chunshen finished speaking, he patted Chu Xiu's shoulder and left with a smile.

Chu Xiu was left alone, and his eyes were glazed and he stayed in place.

"It's over, what am I going to do now? Do you want to obey this order? ”

"If I really follow Ji Chunshen, I'm afraid I will definitely die, but if I don't go, it will be a disobedience to the order, and I will also die."

At this moment, several civil officials came over with a smile, looked at Chu Xiu who was at a loss, put on a serious expression, and said.

"Chu Xiu, introduce yourself, this official is Jianjiang Mansion, Wang Wenzhao!"

"Gongzi Ji has already told me, you will come to our Jianjiang Mansion in the future, you should hurry up and give me your identity token now."

Chu Xiu's expression was extremely unnatural, because he didn't have to think about it to know that this Wang Wenzhao must be Ji Chunshen's subordinate, and if he came to find him now, there would definitely be nothing good.

There is no way, how can people not bow their heads under the eaves, Chu Xiu does not have the protection of the emperor, this can't fight Ji Chunshen, and now he has to hold up a smiling face, and said helplessly.

"My lord, Your Majesty's official appointment has not yet been issued, and you are going to take away my identity token now, is it a bit of a hurry?"

Before Wang Wenzhao could speak, several officials around him loudly reprimanded.

"Chu Xiu, what are you? How dare you question our lordship's orders. ”

"What a guts!"

"The adults asked you to take it out, and you took it out obediently, and you dare to object? It seems that you deliberately don't take us adults seriously! ”

These officials attacked Chu Xiu like cannons, but Chu Xiu at this time was completely helpless, so he could only choose to deal with it silently.

Wang Wenzhao looked at Chu Xiu like this, sneered, and directly turned his head to the people around him and said.

"What are you still talking nonsense with Chu Xiu? Grab his identity token for me. ”

"Don't even dare to resist my orders?"

"Chu Xiu, I don't think you're disrespectful to me, you're going to despise the imperial court!"

Chu Xiu's heart was namelessly on fire, but he could only clench his fists tightly and couldn't attack.

A few petty officials around Wang Wenzhao came up, didn't take Chu Xiu in their eyes at all, and directly reached out and snatched the token from Chu Xiu's arms.

"Humph!"

"Chu Xiu, I took your token, and I will return it to you after I have arranged a specific official position for you!"

After Wang Wenzhao finished speaking, he took Chu Xiu's identity token and left with an arrogant face.

Chu Xiu looked at the back of Wang Wenzhao and the others leaving, and suddenly his eyes were dark, and he felt that the sky was spinning for a while, and the whole person almost fainted.

"How is this possible? Isn't Your Majesty going to let me die? ”

"Ji Chunshen, plus so many officials below, how could they let me go?"

"Alas!"

Chu Xiu staggered a few steps, found a place to sit down casually, and calmed his hard work as much as possible, as if he had seen his tragic fate, he felt that his future and future were already bleak.

"I didn't expect it to be a dead end."

Just when Chu Xiu was disheartened, the official of Sima Mansion suddenly walked over, he patted Chu Xiu on the shoulder, pointed to a black robe at the door of Sima Mansion and said.

"Chu Xiu, someone is looking for you outside."

Chu Xiu looked up and found this extremely familiar figure, this was not the great eunuch who gave him the Heaven Rank Exercises?

Chu Xiu had countless doubts in his heart, and he really couldn't wait, so he cheered up and ran directly to the side of the black robe, and said helplessly.

"Father-in-law! You're finally here! ”

The black robe still had no expression, but silently pulled Chu Xiu to the side, and after making sure that there was no one around, he said calmly.

"You will follow me into the palace now, and Your Majesty will announce you!"

When Chu Xiu heard this, he didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly followed behind the black-robed eunuch and walked forward silently, but he had all kinds of doubts in his heart, and he couldn't get an explanation, and he couldn't guess the emperor's true thoughts at all.

I originally wanted to ask the black-robed eunuch in front of him, but after thinking about it, he was about to see the emperor, and it was not a good thing to ask blindly at this time, Chu Xiu immediately extinguished the doubts and curiosity in his heart, and silently followed the black-robed eunuch into the palace.

Along the way, Chu Xiu didn't even dare to raise his head, so he silently followed behind, I don't know how long he walked, before he finally stopped, Chu Xiu looked up, and then saw that where he was now, it was the emperor's residence, the Palace of Nourishing Hearts.

"Chu Xiu? Come on in! ”

Chu Xiu swallowed and foamed with difficulty, forcibly held back the panic in his heart, calmed himself down as much as possible, and then followed the eunuch into the Heart Cultivation Hall slowly.

As soon as I entered, I saw a middle-aged man, dressed in white, holding a book in his hand, looking at it with relish.

You don't have to think about it to know that who else can live in the Heart Cultivation Palace, besides the emperor? Chu Xiu knelt on the ground with a thud and said loudly.

"Minister Chuxiu, knock to see Your Majesty!"

The emperor silently put down the scroll in his hand and looked at Chu Xiu in front of him with interest.

"Chu Xiu, as the winner of this selection competition, do you know the purpose of this selection competition?"

Chu Xiu nodded solemnly.

"Your Majesty's intention, of course, is to select talents for the imperial court!"

The Emperor said with a smile.

"Then do you think you're a talent?"

Chu Xiu was stunned, not understanding what the emperor's purpose was in asking like this? After thinking about it for a while, Chu Xiu replied.

"Whether the minister is a talent depends on how His Majesty uses it."

The emperor laughed, in the emperor's opinion, Chu Xiu's answer was really a bit slippery, but he also listened to it, so he walked to Chu Xiu's side with a smile and asked again.

"As the winner of this selection competition, I haven't assigned you any position yet, I wonder what you think in your heart?"
