A thick cloud floated out of nowhere, swallowing the moon in the water.

In the dim light, Chu Chen looked at Chaolu with a longing expression and said, "Huan'er has always told me that she doesn't like you. You're not good. I believe, I always believe her words, because she can see different things in other people's eyes. ”

Asakaru's expression froze.

"I asked Huan'er in detail, and Huan'er told me that you have no ego. Every word and deed is a mask, and when all the masks are removed, there is nothing. ”

Chao Lu suddenly turned his head to look at Chu Chen.

"I like you, since I saw you for the first time, I have fallen in love with you, and Huan'er's evaluation of you makes me cherish you even more. Chu Chen has been silent in his own world, looking at the water, "I want to understand you, I want to protect you, I want to fill your empty heart." ”

"Hehe~" Chaolu's sneer interrupted Chu Chen's words. "Know me, fill me, what are you kidding?"

Chu Chen was about to open his mouth when Chao Lu preemptively said, "Wake up, Master Chu, I'm just a girl in a green building, and I just keep my body for a good price." Every word and deed is completely in accordance with the instructions of the big man, if it weren't for today's Liang Xian... The bustard instructed me to dedicate myself to winning over the Chu family. I'm going to pick you a fool?"

Chu Chen was stunned when he heard this, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, remembering Liang Jiaoxi, who went to the house a few days ago and wanted to talk to his father, but was avoided by his father.

looked at Chaolu in a daze, "Is this a game?" Chaolu sneered, "Do you know? ”

Chu Chen faintly felt that something was wrong, but his mind was in chaos.

"No, no. If that's the case, then why are you telling me the truth?!"

Chaolu threw the peanuts in his hand into the water, turned over and entered the house, and said mockingly, "The truth? People like you can't imagine the darkness of the world at all. ”

"Now that you're done, you can leave. Rumors of you being kicked off the flower boat tomorrow will spread all over Jiangcheng, but be mentally prepared. Chao Lu patted his palms, and two men in short coats came in from outside the door, and they couldn't help but say, and they dragged Chu Chen out after setting up them.

I don't know when, the stratus clouds dispersed, the moonlight sprinkled again, and the river was clear. And Chu Chen's heart was covered with a layer of haze.

As the son of the Chu family, Chu Chen is not a really stupid person, but he has no contact with many things and does not want to think about them. Every year there are disappearance of domestic servants and maidservants in the house, and he has always believed the words of the housekeeper, and those who have disappeared have returned to their hometowns. However, how did he not know that as a big family in Jing Chu, the Chu family was put into the secret nail by various forces.

He wants to protect Huan'er's innocence, and his parents, who are not yet confused, are also protecting his kindness with the same idea.

Sitting on the boat returning to Jiangcheng, Chu Chen looked at the flower boat that was getting farther and farther away, thinking back to Chaolu's words, looking back at Jiangcheng and faintly feeling that a big hand was stretching out towards the Chu family, and secretly said in his heart, after returning home, he must go to tell his father first.

The boat gradually moved away, and the morning dew by the window put away all his expressions, as if everything was a drama just now, and now that the song has ended, he should take off all his makeup.

With an expressionless face, he threw the fruit plate on the table directly into the river, like a mud cow entering the sea, without a trace of waves.

The task arranged by Mr. Liang failed, but the explanation of the prefect of He was completed. This made Chaolu a little relieved. Recalling the sharp sword-like eyes of He Zhifu at the table, Chaolu couldn't help but shiver. He Zhifu's meaning was transmitted to him through that look.

As for whether Mr. Liang has found out, Chao Lu doesn't dare to think about this kind of thing, and he can't think about it.

The two sides are like chess players, Chaolu is a chess piece, and tonight almost became Mr. Liang's outcast.

Water transportation is convenient, information spreads very quickly, and although the matter of Jingshi is blocked, there are also rumors that spread to all parts of the south. Cihang Pudu was removed, the government and the opposition were completely controlled by the Guozijian and Tai Academy, and officials everywhere were all panicked, which was a big crisis and a big opportunity.

Jingchu is a continent of population, and it is a prosperous place, north of Henan Yongnan junction Xu Yang, the governor of this place He Zhifu is to be incorruptible, do not worship Confucius and Mencius, and make good friends with all parties.

Although the affairs of the state need the help of Confucianism, they do not want to let their family dominate. Now that the government and the opposition are in turmoil, if you don't take the opportunity to suppress Confucianism, then Jingchu officialdom may be quickly filled by Confucianism.

Confucianism also needed to conform to the will of the people, so it deliberately wooed local families to seek foreign support.

Two of the games are too complicated inside, and if you talk about them in detail, you can't say them all in a million words.

Chao Lu can only go with the flow in the game, and today's events have completely seen that the discord between the two families has a tendency to break out, although she is more inclined to win the greater Confucian Mr. Liang, but he has become an outcast, and can only choose the local official He Zhifu.

Raising the flask, the spicy liquor ran through her throat, making Asaka cough, drunk, drunk, sleeping, and no longer thinking about the future that made her desperate.

In a deep mansion in the city, a study room faintly shone with light.

"All the words, deeds and actions of that Ayuru are disguises. A middle-aged man of thirty-seven or eighteen turned his fingers and paced.

The middle-aged man is strong, and although he is surrounded by literary energy, he is obviously not comparable to those weak scholars. With black hair and deep eyes, at first glance I thought it was Chu Chen's brother.

Chu Chen sat down at the bottom at the moment, leaned over and said, "Yes, father, Huan'er also said the same thing as me." ”

Father Chu paced in front of Chu Chen, and suddenly smiled, "Speaking of Huan'er, your mother and I also like that little girl, when are you going to take her into the room?"

Chu Chen said angrily, "At this time, I am still talking about these inconsequential things. Someone is going to attack our Chu family, and there is more than one person, isn't my father in a hurry?"

Father Chu laughed, "Of course I'm in a hurry, I'm anxious about your marriage." I married your mother when I was sixteen, and now that you are crowned, there is no movement. Except for Chaolu, who do you say, I immediately went to the door to ask for a kiss. After laughing, Father Chu returned to his seat, picked up the strong tea and continued. "As for the matter of the Chu family, I am not dead yet. I'll see who dares to move!"

Chu Chen looked at Father Chu who lowered his head and tasted tea in surprise, this was the first time he had heard such domineering words from his father's mouth, the confidence and arrogance in his tone made Chu Chen's whole body tremble, and he only felt his blood surge.

And the City God Temple at this moment.

I can't tell at all that this is a fairy dojo, and the ground is full of drunken wine jars, and the strong aroma of wine is drunk with the little ghosts waiting outside, and they are swallowing saliva while glancing at the closed door.

Hongyu drank a little too much, her cheeks were crimson, her body was soft and leaned on Zhou Bai, and the aroma from her mouth made Zhou Bai want to take a bite.

"Tsk~ Watch them sprinkle dog food at Lao Gu's house, come here to watch you sprinkle dog food. Judge Shen looked unhappy and stared at Zhou Bai fiercely.

Jiang Chenghuang got up and poured a full cup for Zhou Bai, stroked his beard and said, "I don't know how many days I plan to stop in Jiangcheng?"

Zhou Bai's eyes were hazy, but he still maintained a trace of sobriety.

got up and took Jiang Chenghuang's poured wine with both hands, "Nothing to do, didn't you dig a pit again and want to kidnap me?"

"Nothing, everything. Jiang Chenghuang glanced at Li Hebo, and Li Hebo hurriedly got up and toasted Zhou Bai.

Zhou Baihu glanced at the two suspiciously, and then glanced at Judge Shen.

Judge Shen frowned slightly, "Brother Zhou wants to go back to Jinling with me to attend Lao Gu's wedding, and he will leave tomorrow." ”

"This ....." Jiang Chenghuang smiled bitterly, this one can't be provoked. "Yes, too. Say hello to everyone on our behalf. ”

Zhou Bai glanced at Judge Shen and nodded happily.

As soon as the matter of Jingshi was over, someone wanted to invite him into the new bureau.

He Zhou Bai is not a chess piece, how can he be at the mercy of others! Confucianism monopolizes the government and the opposition, and officials in various places are bound to have all kinds of differences with it, and this is a swamp that can swallow people, and it will be difficult to get out once you step into it.
