Immortality in the Great Qian Dynasty

"Master!" Xu Enzhi stepped forward and bowed deeply.

Fa Kong rolled his sleeves.

Xu Enzhi bowed slightly and could no longer go down, so he could only raise his body: "Thank you, Master."

Seeing that he was excited and his eyes were red and almost losing his temper, Fa Kong pointed to the stone table next to him and said with a smile: "Sit down and talk."

After Xu Enzhi sat down, he controlled his emotions and said with emotion: "This trip to Tianlao can be said to be very rewarding."

"What's the catch?"

"Oh, I have a better understanding of people's hearts," Xu Eunzhi sighed, "and I am even more tired of officialdom."

Fakong raised his eyebrows.

Xu Enzhi smiled bitterly: "I originally thought of becoming an official to protect my family and live a stable life in this world, but now I know that the dangers of the official world are not inferior to those of the martial arts, and are even more dangerous."

Fa Kong smiled and nodded.

In fact, the world of officialdom and martial arts are equally dangerous, and you feel you can't help yourself when you are in them.

When people sit at home, disaster comes from heaven.

What happened to Xu Enzhi this time is the best portrayal.

He did nothing. Just because he and Weng Jingyuan were masters and disciples, he was thrown into the prison.

This is an unforeseen disaster.

Fortunately this time, I trusted King Xin to take care of me secretly. Otherwise, I would have suffered even more.

And fortunately, this time the implicating and climbing was stopped by the emperor in time, otherwise, it would be impossible to escape without trusting the king.

If it weren't for King Xin's relationship, if he hadn't been lucky enough to stop the implicated situation this time, he would have died without a burial place.

But he did nothing.

This is the danger of officialdom.

If you want to survive, in addition to superb skills, you also need a certain amount of luck. If you are not lucky, sometimes a small accident can ruin your future or even your life.

Fakong smiled and said: "Master Xu is tired of officialdom, do you want to resign?"

Mrs. Xu took the tea cup that Lin Feiyang brought over, brought it to Fakong herself, then to Xu Enzhi, and sat quietly aside.

Xu Enzhi shook his head and sighed: "The matter has come to this. It is impossible to resign. I can only do it reluctantly. Fortunately, I have been demoted to Mingzhou, so I should be able to relax for a while."

He was demoted to the position of pushing official in Mingzhou, from the sixth rank.

Although the taste is similar to before, it is actually very different.

Originally a capital official, now a local official.

It is extremely difficult for local officials to rise to the capital.

"It's good to have some leisure for a while." Fa Kong said with a smile: "It's best to wait until the situation in the court is settled."

"Exactly." Xu Enzhi nodded slowly.

He originally didn't expect to be promoted to a high position. After all, those who could get high positions were all ministers of Conglong.

If you don't touch both sides and remain neutral, it means that the new emperor will not reuse you after he succeeds to the throne.

But compared to risking a fight for wealth, it is safer to stay away from both, at least it is not that dangerous.

"When will you leave Beijing?"

"I will leave tomorrow." Xu En knew: "The period of leaving Beijing is too short, and there is nothing we can do about it."

He gave a wry smile.

Obviously someone was trying to interfere with this, deliberately pushing the time to leave Beijing very early, and they were about to leave Shenjing just after leaving the prison.

In such a hurry, he must have been in great embarrassment.

I haven't heard from my mentor yet, I haven't said goodbye to my colleagues, I haven't tidied up my home, or rented out the house, or asked someone to take care of it.

It was too late to do anything.

These people are really disgusting and vicious in their methods.

Fakong nodded: "That's fine. Let's leave early and have peace of mind. Leave your residence to Lin Feiyang. He also has a house here, so I can take care of it by the way."

Xu Enzhi smiled: "Thank you, Master."

Fakong waved his jade hand to indicate not to say thank you. He was too intrusive and said with a smile: "Qingluo, don't worry too much about her homework. I will go over and teach her in time."

"...Okay." Xu Enzhi was about to say thank you, but stopped immediately.

He was extremely grateful.

In the early morning, the mist is like a veil.

Xu Enzhi's family of five got on a carriage and left Shenjing.

During the official ceremony, no one saw him off, and the whole family left alone.

The back curtain of the carriage was opened, and Xu Enzhi was sitting in the hood, watching the south city gate getting further and further away, and the two long queues outside the city also getting further and further away.

His expression was calm, but his eyes were burning.

Mrs. Xu gently took his arm and said softly: "Master, there is no need to feel sad, we will come back."

"Are the father-in-law and mother-in-law sad?" Xu Enzhi smiled: "They must have scolded me, right?"

Mrs. Xu pursed her lips and smiled and said: "They say that ups and downs in officialdom are nothing. It's ordinary things, so don't worry too much about gains and losses. You will come back sooner or later."

Xu Eunzhi nodded lightly: "I will indeed come back, but I have to stay away from my father-in-law and mother-in-law for the time being."

"Mingzhou is not far from Shenjing. If my parents want to come over, they can arrive in two days. It's nothing."

"They are old and should not stay far away. You should come back to visit them from time to time."

"Yes." Mrs. Xu responded, nestled against his shoulder, and quietly looked at the south city gate that was gradually receding.

She grew up in Shenjing and was born and raised here, but she still feels familiar and unfamiliar to Shenjing.

It seems that there is no end to exploring Shenjing, and there are always new things that are unpredictable.

Now I have to leave like this, not knowing when I will come back, and I have to leave my parents. The melancholy and discomfort in my heart are really beyond words.

But he didn't want to show it, so he could only look at the south gate quietly.

Xu Qingluo had been sitting cross-legged with eyes slightly closed, quietly sitting in the carriage. Now she opened her eyes: "Dad, as long as Master says a word, Dad, you can come back."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Xu Enzhi frowned and said: "How can I trouble Master Fakong for this matter? I have already troubled him so much."

"We are all family, why should we be so formal." Xu Qingluo said.

"Qingluo, people should not be too greedy!" Xu Enzhi snorted: "Now we are just asking for things, and we can't help Master at all. How can we cause trouble to him again!"

Xu Qingluo nodded.

She was very disapproving in her heart. Now she couldn't help Master, and she would honor Master after she had mastered martial arts in the future.

What's more, this matter was not a big deal for Master. Just mention it casually, and Prince Xin could handle it.

Father always didn't want to join any side to avoid being involved in party disputes.

This was too naive. How could factional disputes be avoided!

If you don't join a faction, you can't borrow strength. All positions are reserved for people from factions. If you are not from a faction, you will be excluded.

This time is just the beginning.

If my father doesn't find a faction to join, I'm afraid the next step will be to continue to be exiled and get farther and farther away from the capital.

Of course, this can't be said now, otherwise my father will be angry and say that he is a child who knows nothing.

Of course, he doesn't know that he knows much more than he imagined.

Half of these are from reading books, and half are from listening to what the master said in casual chats, plus her own thinking.

She also knows that it's useless to say these now.

Madam Xu nodded gently: "Qingluo, don't make excessive demands on the master casually."

"Mother, of course I know." Xu Qingluo smiled.

Madam Xu smiled: "Qingluo, you are a blessed person."

It can be said that Qingluo is the greatest blessing to be able to worship Master Fakong. His life was saved and he has a strong enough background.

This is also the reason why she is so sure in her heart.

If the master's official career is not prosperous, there is still Qingluo.

The carriage moved slowly along the official road.

The official road was built flat and wide, and the carriage was not bumpy on it.

Xu Qingluo's two younger brothers were sleeping soundly, and she closed her eyes to practice, to push the transformation of virtuality into reality, and step into the state of undoubted faith.

This requires time to accumulate, and the more time you have, the more you believe, and you can't take shortcuts.

Time passed unknowingly, and she felt that it was noon in the blink of an eye.

The carriage stopped at a post station, and the five people got off the carriage and asked the coachman to take the horses to eat some grass, drink some water, and rest.

The family of five went to the pavilion to have lunch.

Just as they were about to take out the dry food, a figure flashed, and Lin Feiyang had already appeared, holding two wooden boxes in his hands, putting them on the table in the pavilion, and said with a smile: "It's time to eat!"

"Uncle Lin!" Xu Qingluo smiled.

Xu Enzhi clasped his fists and smiled, "So it's Brother Lin."

Lin Feiyang clasped his fists and smiled, "Master Xu, don't be polite. I can't afford it. I'm following orders. I can't let little Qingluo starve... Eat it while it's hot. When you're done, just leave. I'll come back and take the lunch box back in a while."

"Thank you." Xu Enzhi didn't say any more polite words, as it seemed too awkward. This hospitality was of course for Qingluo.

I just benefited from Qingluo's help.

Xu Qingluo smiled and said, "Is it your cooking, Uncle Lin?"

"Of course."

"That's good."

"Qingluo, you girl, you're still picky!" Mrs. Xu smiled and said angrily.

Xu Qingluo said with a smile: "Uncle Lin's cooking skills are unique, much better than the chefs in Guanyun Tower."

Lin Feiyang smiled and waved his hand: "It's about the same, hehe, about the same."

Xu Qingluo said: "Uncle Lin, you are too modest. Compared with Guanyun Tower, I still like your cooking!"

"Alas..., it's a pity that you left, but Mingzhou is not far away. I can go there in a while. It won't get cold if I take it with me after it's done."

"Okay!" Xu Qingluo agreed in a low voice.

Mrs. Xu shook her head.

Xu Enzhi said no more.

It can be seen that Lin Feiyang dotes on Xu Qingluo very much, obviously for the sake of Master Fakong.

The two little boys kept shouting that they were hungry, so everyone opened the lunch box.

There were eight dishes in total, two bowls of soup, and a few snow-white steamed buns.

The aroma was delicious, and Xu Enzhi's saliva suddenly emerged and could not be controlled.

After tasting the dishes, he also admitted that Lin Feiyang's cooking skills were not deliberately exaggerated by his daughter. It was indeed extremely amazing and breathtaking.

The five people got on the car again with their bellies full.

After eating, they felt sleepy. They fell asleep in the swaying car. They seemed to hear shouting and begging for mercy.

Xu Qingluo, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened her eyes, lifted the curtain and looked out, and found that there were already two circles of black-clothed masked men outside.

The driver huddled on the shaft of the car, trembling and shouting for mercy. He had old people and children to support, and they depended on him to make a living, but his voice was hesitant and he was already paralyzed by fear.

Xu Qingluo glanced and saw that there were a total of 23 black-clothed masked men here, all of whom had bright eyes and good cultivation.

She was very curious, was this a mistake?

Daddy is now just a magistrate in Mingzhou, a small official of the sixth rank, is it worth mobilizing such a big battle?

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

...

The sound of swords being unsheathed rang out.

Xu Qingluo saw them all draw their swords and pointed their sharp knives and swords at the carriage, and they were about to rush over and kill her family.

Her bright eyes flickered, and she shouted: "Mingzhou Magistrate Xu Enzhi is here, who are you to be so presumptuous!"

Her clear voice floated above the woods, startling a flock of magpies.
