He Rongchuan poured himself a cup of tea, and the familiar spicy taste burned his tongue.He coughed twice because of the spicy taste, and said casually: "Chi Yi, bring your pot."

Chi Yi was dozing off on the couch, but upon hearing this, he slowly got up, rubbed his eyes and carried the pot over.While pouring the man non-spicy tea, he glanced away at the documents on the table.

After just scanning a few words at random, he was startled, and a few drops of tea came out from his wrist, which wetted the wet ink.

If he wanted to read that document carefully, he had to drill into the aura of the protagonist.He spotted the other side's hand and planned to grab it, but when his fingertips touched the cold back of his hand, the hand retracted almost instinctively.

Unable to hold his hand, Chi Yi had no choice but to hold his whole arm in his arms.His arms were also trembling slightly, looking very uncomfortable.

Chi Yi didn't understand. Since this person couldn't feel himself, why would he withdraw his hand?Could it be that he himself was unconscious, and his subconscious took his hand away automatically?But his actions are not aggressive, what is he hiding?Could it be that when he remembered his appearance in women's clothing, he thought some big girl was holding his hand?

About the protagonist's halo, Chi Yi never really understood it.He stuck out his tongue and just looked down to read the documents on the table.

The pure countrymen are at it again.

There were still 2000 people who came this time, but after the last battle, the Gu Kingdom garrison in Longzhou was running low, and it was not enough to borrow a few hundred people from the surrounding area.At that time, the battle was horrific, the general of Longzhou was killed, and almost the entire army of Gu Kingdom was wiped out.

Although he guarded against the brigade of pure Chinese troops, he accidentally let more than a dozen fish slip through the net into the city.Those people sneaked into the barracks and burned weapons, food and grass, and looted and killed dozens of people in the city before they were captured.

Chi Yi was puzzled, so who captured these dozen people?To arrest more than a dozen people would have to be dozens of people. Isn't the entire army of Longzhou garrison wiped out?

In the original book, the pure Chinese had only one tentative attack, and the next battle took place after the Central Army arrived in Longzhou.I don't know what went wrong in this parallel world. Not only has the war started earlier, but the vigor of the pure Chinese has also risen sharply.

Chi Yi subconsciously picked up the teacup on the table, and realized that it was He Rongchuan's cup when it touched his mouth.He laughed, wiped the place he touched with the back of his hand, and fed tea to the tyrant whose lips were red from the heat.

"I said, A Chuan, the people of Chunguo have already hit the door, can you stop thinking about dealing with me? Gu Guo is over, we both have to end, now we have to fight against each other!"

After feeding He Rongchuan a cup of tea, he sat down on his lap, "In the original book, General Xu didn't fight seriously. Chunguo broke through the city gate and messed up Longzhou..."

As soon as he raised his head, He Rongchuan had a look of surprise in his eyes for some reason.So Chi Yi nodded on his nose, raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't believe me. 5000 people are enough, but I can't stand the cunning of the pure Chinese! In the original book, Xu Jian was tricked by them, so that pure An army of thousands of people has entered the city... Can you imagine the consequences?"

He couldn't hear it that way, and it was impossible to say to his face that he knew what was going to happen in this war.Chi Yi planned to retreat.However, after walking a few steps, as soon as the protagonist came out of the halo, a sullen voice called him, "Chi Yi, how many troops will be lost if we go to Longzhou?"

Chi Yi trembled all over, "This... I don't know anything about weapons..."

"I ask you."

Chi Yi pursed his swollen lips, this question was really unexpected and inexplicable.

Just now when He Rongchuan allowed himself to go to Longzhou, Chi Yi was afraid that he would go back on his word, so he deliberately said seriously: "If you ask my opinion, then I will speak bluntly. I don't know if I can retreat from the enemy, and it is hard to say if all 5000 people are lost. There are plenty in the capital." The strength of the army, no matter how many people are filled in, it will not be able to stop it. That Longzhou..."

"How about Longzhou?"

"Longzhou... will be chaotic."

"What kind of chaos?"

"The pure Chinese broke into the city, plundered the whole area of ​​Longzhou, continued to go north, made a turn around Huizhou and Chuzhou, and ran away when they robbed enough. They would not stay for long. But the land far away is not rich at all. , if there are some hidden dangers in the first place, it will be exposed after such a failure."

He almost told him that there was an uprising by the peasants, so Chi Yi quickly shut up and made amends clumsily: "I guessed randomly, I must plan for the worst."

He Rongchuan didn't stop him from sleeping, but just looked out the window, thinking for a long time.

……

The pure country offensive was fierce, and the Central Army had to speed up its pre-war preparations, and the departure schedule was also advanced.

Then came the day of the imperial examination.According to Chi Yi's request, the examiner for the first scientific examination was a student of Prime Minister Yao.But on the day when the results were released, the emperor was sitting in the middle, and the official of the Ministry of Rites was doing the roll call, and the chief examiner was only responsible for standing aside.After the session was over, the emperor sent someone to call back the examinees, and chatted with them for an hour behind closed doors.

During this time, Chi Yi was waiting in the wing room outside the hall, but Yao Han suddenly appeared here.

In this wing room, there were still several officials from the Ministry of Rituals who were processing the examination papers, and when they saw him coming, they all saluted.As if he didn't see Chi Yi, Yao Han walked around those people twice in the name of inspection work.

Pretend to turn to Chi Yi by accident.As soon as he approached him, his eyes became a little gloomy, and he said a few words in a normal tone, and then mentioned Chi Yi's upcoming trip to Longzhou.

Yao Han asked him to add more food and clothes, while reaching out to pat him on the shoulder, and stuffed a piece of folded paper into his neckline by the way.

Then leaned over slightly, leaned into his ear and said: "If necessary, just abandon this person."

Chi Yi didn't dare to open that piece of paper at this moment, and silently settled it.Yao Han went there again to check the work, and when he came back, he added in a low voice: "Chi's family is 120, three people, everything is fine."

Chi Yi twitched the corners of his mouth. These words were not only a reward for his current achievements, but also a threat to the future.But, not to mention that he was transmigrated, even the original body was an impostor. The Chi Yi who was really related to these more than 100 people had already been exposed to the wilderness.

He put on a bright smile, "I will try my best."

That is to say, whether he can achieve the expected result after trying his best is beyond his control.

After Yao Han left, before Chi Yi had time to open the paper, a little eunuch came over and called him, saying that the candidates had left.He hurriedly stuffed the note into his clothes, and went to the only way for candidates to leave the palace.

Candidates came out together.Tian Xin saw Chi Yi waiting on the side of the road, turned around and said something to the people around him, and seven or eight candidates walked towards him together.Everyone stopped in front of him and bowed to him one after another, and then someone said: "You are the son who avenged Brother Tian, ​​I have admired you for a long time!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone stayed on their way and just praised him, Chi Yi was taken aback by the praise.It's true that they did it themselves, but how did they know?

"Second Prince Wang," Tian Xin came to him with downcast eyes, "—I guess you don't have this last name. You are waiting here specially, you are not waiting for us, are you?"

Chi Yi quickly assessed the situation. Originally, he was only looking for Tian Xin alone, but now a bunch of them came over.The date of my trip to Longzhou has been advanced. Instead of driving them away forcibly, it is better to take the donkey down the slope and solve them all at once.

"I'm waiting for you..." Chi Yi raised his eyes, showing an irresistible bright smile, "It's not convenient here, why don't we go out and find a restaurant together, how about we sit down and talk slowly?"

Everyone readily agreed, and Chi Yi let them go first, leaving him at the end.When he passed the porch, he grabbed a eunuch who looked a bit smug, and ordered in a low voice: "Go to Wang Lu and tell him that I was drinking with the candidates for the intermediate examination in Wenzhizhai, and ask him to send someone trustworthy over here." .”

A dozen or so candidates for the pilot test followed Chi Yi to Wenzhi Zhai, and Chi Yi directly chose the private room on the first floor, and sat down carelessly in the private room to ask for wine and food.

Facing these people, Chi Yi was puzzled and said: "It was Master Zhu who stood up that day, why didn't you record this matter on him, or his backer, and give me the credit for nothing?"

Someone answered: "It was written in Brother Tian's article. It said that a young man with a great talent planned a strategy that night and set up a scheme to force the generals of the Central Army to kill the villains, and then retired..."

Hearing this group of people's false praises about themselves, Chi Yi looked at Tian Xin helplessly, "How do you know I did it?"

Tian Xindao: "Guess. At that time, when you asked the young master if he was working for the prime minister's party, you would know that it was almost the same as soon as you hesitated."

"...You are amazing. Then why tell everyone?"

"They will give others the credit for avenging my eldest brother, and they will not let down your hard work, son. I know that you want your heart to be useful, so I will do a good deed for you."

Chi Yi smiled lightly when he heard this, and spent a lot of time coaxing this child these days, and it didn't hurt in vain.After running around that night, I thought it was a marriage for someone else, but I didn't expect that being seen by Tian Xin would also bring me some unexpected benefits.

Chi Yi felt a little guilty after being so talked about, because after all, it was not nice to say his current identity.He toasted around, with the signature Chi smile on his face all the time.

"You don't need to be so polite, you look like this, which makes me think I'm a big shot. ——My name is Chi Yi, and I have a false job in the Zhan Shifu, but I run around every day and deal with trivial matters. That night your The matter was sent to the palace for me to see, and I happened to know the brothers of the Tian family, so I took care of it by the way."

The name Chi Yi was circulated in the streets and alleys, and was made into a romantic affair. Although it was not well-known to everyone, there were still two or three ears among the dozen or so people.

He paused, giving the men a moment to whisper.From surprise to embarrassment, everyone praised this person just now, but when they learned of his background, they didn't know how to end it.

When Chi Yi saw this, he waved his hand boldly and retreated: "I know I'm not a good person, and you educated people look down on me. But it's okay, didn't we come to drink because of what happened that night? What is it? It doesn't matter who you are, we won't talk about anything else today."

So he began to tell everyone the ins and outs of Guo Yuzhi's death.He said it truthfully. The relationship between several forces and the political significance of holding the scientific expedition are all open secrets.

His words successfully attracted attention. Seeing that the groundwork was almost done, he seemed to ask casually: "This matter is so complicated. In the final analysis, I don't want to offend you candidates who are the first scientific exams. —— I don't know if you know anything about this exam. What do you think?"

Asking about the exam is asking about the New Deal.Just now Chi Yi told a lot of "secrets", everyone was not on guard against him, so they expressed their opinions.Chi Yi listened with a smile on the side, observed everyone, guided a sentence or two from time to time, and brought the topic to the direction he cared about.

He had asked Tian Xin about each person's life experience in advance, and also read their articles, and he already knew it well.At this time, to observe their words and expressions face to face, we must not only find out their attitudes towards the New Deal, but also test their views on the parties in the court, imperial power, and people's livelihood.He has to select a group of people who are ideologically on his side.

In the final analysis, this matter was done for the emperor, so Wang Lu sent someone to supervise the whole process, so as not to go back to He Rongchuan and suspect that he was tricky.

Just now when the waiter in the shop came in to serve the food, he quietly gestured to him, and he knew that the person sent by the palace had arrived.

……

The Zuixianlou shop is very opportunistic, and the scientific research held in the capital caused a sensation all over the country, so it was renamed Wenzhizhai.Later, in order to give back to the wealthy and powerful regular customers, an elegant room was prepared on the second floor for their use.

Pipes were dug out of the wall of this room, leading directly to the room directly below, and the voices and laughter of the people below climbed up clearly.

At this time, only one oil lamp was lit in the room, otherwise the light would be noticed by the people below through the pipe.Wang Lu put a cup of tea on the table lightly, afraid to block the sound coming from the pipe, so he didn't dare to open his mouth to inform.

He Rongchuan was listening intently to the conversation between Chi Yi and those candidates, and picked up the teacup to take a sip, but suddenly felt that the familiar acridity was very annoying, so he vomited it all back, and ordered: "Pour a glass of white water. Then get a pen and paper."

Wang Lu got it wrong: "We brought this tea from the palace, don't worry."

"I don't drink tea." His voice turned cold.

"……Yes."

I don't know when sporadic raindrops fell outside the window, and He Rongchuan was a little dazed. In the past few years, he has long been used to tea that must be spicy. Everywhere he goes, such as bedrooms, study rooms, and office palaces, are specially prepared for him. tea.But only when he went to Zuixian Tower, that is, Wenzhizhai, he didn't want to touch such strong things.

After all, many years ago, in those days when he often came to Zuixian Tower, he was not what he is now.Even if you have a father and a mother, and you are high-spirited, you don't need to rely on any smell to distract your mind.

Ten years ago, it seemed like a lifetime ago, the fearless young man shuttled between the drinking and drinking, worrying about who to ask for help to hold the wine this time.Ten years later, Chi Yi was doing the same thing in the downstairs room, just like the self with a fresh heart back then.

The ten years in between smashed the vague but fiery thoughts in his heart, stirring up sharp blades of fire, devouring the sky and the earth.

The surest way to relieve the pain is to kill the person who deserves to be killed at the right time.

……

Chi Yi chatted with a table of candidates until late at night, and roughly figured out the information he wanted.At this time, it was drizzling outside, so he sent everyone back to Zhu Ziyuan.Anyway, the people from Wang Lu faction probably went back to the palace by themselves when they saw the end.

There were no pedestrians on the road, and a few people began to chant poems and compose Fu impromptuly.Tian Xin, on the other hand, lagged behind alone, following silently with his head buried.

Chi Yi noticed this situation. It was only ten days before Tian Geng's death, and Tian Xin, a teenager, was inevitably sad at night.He stepped down a few steps and stood shoulder to shoulder with the man, and said softly: "The exam is over, so it's time to help the spirit go back to his hometown? Don't worry, I'll ask for leave for you here. ——Is the money enough? If not, I'll lend you first .”

Tian Xin said slowly: "Then let's take a leave of absence. There is no need to worry about it, and the people from the Central Army have paid some money." After a pause, he spit out another sentence: "It's not just a miss, right?"

This was all discovered by him.Chi Yi sighed, "I don't know. Although I have only been here not long ago, I also understand that the struggle between the courts is like this. People's lives are often used as bets. Some things may never be found out." Especially when the immediate boss is a tyrant .

Chi Yi wanted to say something comforting: "I know it's not easy for you..."

"Master Chi is even more difficult."

I didn't know when there was someone more around me, Chi Yi looked up, this person was Sun You, he was hesitant to choose one of Chi Yi's list, although he had thoughts and feelings, he didn't seem to like him very much.

Sun You smiled slightly, "You have the talent to rule the world, but you don't have the merits of ruling the world. Don't you feel wronged by doing trivial things to curry favor?"

Chi Yi twitched the corners of his mouth. He had been pretending to be chatting just now, but someone saw through his purpose.

"If you have the talent to govern the world, you must govern the world and make meritorious deeds? Then I would rather be a mortal. The world's major affairs are taken care of by others. I just want to use my ability to exchange for what I really want. Everyone has their own value, and you can't force it."

Sun You thought he understood, and his smile deepened, "I see. Mr. Chi doesn't care about fame and wealth, and he lives a transparent life. I'm ashamed of myself."

"Besides, who said I'm useless in the world?" Chi Yi raised his eyebrows and said angrily, "You only saw me trying to please, but that Guo Yu died after all, and no one messed up after all. The future governance of the world is preserved. Talent, isn’t this the merit of governing the world?”

Sun You smiled even more, looked straight at Chi Yi, and said slowly: "I'm mean. Mr. Chi, don't underestimate yourself. It's just a status. If you look down on you because of this, you dare not use such a person... ..."

His voice suddenly stopped and he lowered his voice, "...For your business, count me in."

Chi Yi: ...

How does this person know everything!

Zhu Ziyuan was not far from Wenzhizhai, but the people who were slightly drunk staggered and delayed a lot of time on the road.Chi Yi bid farewell to everyone in Zhu Ziyuan, but found that there was no one driving the car at night, so he had to go back to Wenzhi Zhai first.

However, at the gate of Wenzhi Zhai, he saw... Wang Lu.

When Wang Lu saw him, he still squinted and snorted, and said sourly, "What a show."

Chi Yi was puzzled, "Where did I offend the prince? Why did you come in person?"

Wang Lu lazily threw out a sentence: "What if I come in person, even His Majesty has been waiting for you for an hour."

The author has something to say: Xiaochi: Why is he hiding when I hold his hand?

Xiaohe: If you touch it, you will be responsible =. =
