Mo Rang was surprised when he heard Xing'er ask this!
Suddenly, he became a little excited: "Xing'er, please don't misunderstand me. I didn't go to a place like Fenghualou. I was drinking with some friends who were taking the college entrance examination that day. After I came out, I smelled the delicious noodles at that noodle stall, so I went to eat. I didn't expect to run into Miss Xing'er!"
Xing Er suddenly frowned: "I know!"
Mo Rang immediately chased after her, as if afraid that Xing'er wouldn't believe him: "Miss Xing'er, what I said is true!"
Xing'er suddenly turned around and looked at Mo Rang with clear eyes: "I believe you!"
Mo Rang suddenly danced with joy, as if being trusted by Xing'er was a great joy.
Xing'er turned around and left again, and Mo Rang followed closely behind her, seeming to be happy about Xing'er's trust in him.
Xing Er frowned and said, "I'm going back to the palace. Do you want to follow me?"
Mo Rang looked up at the towering palace walls and said, "As scholars, I naturally hope to one day stand on the Yunxiao Palace and admire the majesty of Your Majesty. Unfortunately, I don't have a formal official position yet."
At the end of his words, Mo Rang looked worried.
Xing Er smiled slightly: "How about I take you in to have a look when I have time?"
"Really?" Mo Rang looked at Xing'er in surprise.
"You had no skills at all that day, yet you still helped me block those bad guys. I'll remember it." A bright smile appeared on Xing'er's pretty face.
Mo Rang couldn't stop laughing, but he kept saying, "Although I am a weak scholar, it is my duty to help others when I see injustice!"
"Okay, come to the palace gate at 3:30 pm. I'll show you the Yunxiao Palace."
"Yeah, thank you Miss Xing'er!"
Xing'er had already left, and this time Mo Rang did not follow her.
Mo Rang still had a young and energetic smile on his face. He stood there for a long time before leaving.
At this moment, a woman walked out from the darkness, looked at Mo Rang's departing back, and frowned slightly.
"Isn't it?"
After hearing what Chen An said, Yu Li has been staring at Mo Rang today, hoping to find some clues.
However, after a long time, she didn't find anything wrong.
Afterwards, Yu Li followed again. She wanted to observe further!
…
Chen An sat in the study of the Nine Dragons Palace, looking at Zhang You in front of him.
At this moment, Zhang You was holding a list with a flattering smile on his old face.
Chen An was already used to the image of this old man. He raised his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Your Majesty, I have a list here. It is a list of talents that I have carefully observed and selected. With a little experience, they will surely be able to serve Your Majesty."
"Do you still need to give this to me? Just hand it over to the central department for review!" Chen An didn't even look at it.
Zhang You suddenly smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, I also want to, but the Prime Minister does not agree."
"Why don't you agree?" Chen An asked back.
Zhang You glanced at Chen An, then said with a gloomy face, "It's because the Prime Minister doesn't like me. He said the people I recommended were too young. If he assigns them an official position, he will send them out to serve as local officials so that they can gain experience."
"I don't dislike you at all. Isn't that quite right?" Chen An said angrily, "Zhang You, are you feeling unbalanced because you didn't become Prime Minister? Why are you always saying bad things about Wu Zhang?"
Zhang You revealed a face full of resentment: "Your Majesty, I'm not saying anything bad. There was a vacancy in Tiandu City, and the Prime Minister arranged it for someone he liked. And the people he liked were all very young and inexperienced!"
Chen An's expression gradually became serious.
At this moment, Zhang You saw Chen An's expression change, and he lowered his head, not daring to breathe.
"Zhang You!" Chen An said calmly.
"Your humble servant is here!" Zhang You knelt on the ground instantly, with a look of fear and trepidation on his face.
Chen An frowned: "Do you know why Wu Zhang was able to become the Prime Minister?"
Zhang You raised his head and shook his head. He really didn't understand. Logically, he was a favorite of the emperor, so he should be the prime minister.
But I didn't expect that a robber would show up on the road, someone I had never heard of before!
Chen An narrowed his eyes: "Because I want Wu Zhang to be the Prime Minister!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Zhang You instantly felt a surge of evil energy.
Suddenly, his forehead was covered with sweat, and his back was quickly soaked.
Chen An looked at Zhang You who was trembling with fear.
Chen An's murderous aura subsided: "Then do you know why I made you the Left Prime Minister?"
"I am so terrified!" Zhang You's face turned pale. He felt that he had unknowingly angered Long Wei!
Chen An glanced at the terrified Zhang You and said, "Because I trust you!"
When Zhang You heard this, he was a little confused.
But after a moment, Chen An said something inexplicably.
"The Zhang family is quite remarkable, and has produced many great figures!"
These words struck Zhang Youru like lightning, and she fell to the ground instantly.
His whole body trembled, and he said in a trembling voice: "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. I will definitely live up to your grace!"
After saying this, Zhang You raised his head and looked at Chen An: "Your Majesty, although I am a member of the Zhang family, I am definitely not from the Zhang Qi lineage. They claim to be the orthodox strategists and are only interested in producing a strategist so that the Zhang family can be deified. But my lineage is different..."
"No need to say more, I trust you, so you don't need to explain!" Chen An waved his hand: "Go down!"
When Zhang You walked out of the study, Chen An frowned!
This guy, if I don't give him a good beating, he's going to cause some trouble!
Zhang You, who came out of the study, couldn't help wiping the sweat from his forehead.
Only now did I realize that he had walked back and forth at the door of death countless times!
"This Zhang Qi almost destroyed the Zhang family!" Zhang You said with a bitter look on his face.
But I made up my mind in my heart that I must not make His Majesty unhappy again!
…
"What? What is Xing'er doing at Gu Qingyi's place?" Chen An was surprised.
"Miss Xing'er is so secretive that she didn't even let the Imperial Guards in." Duan Chi frowned, "That's why I reported this."
Chen An shook his head: "Don't worry about that girl. Is there any news from the prison?"
"Uh, Your Majesty, the assassin was tortured and fainted. It will probably take some time before the treatment is effective." Duan Chi looked a little strange.
"What kind of punishment?" Chen An asked curiously.
Duan Chi looked at Chen An with a strange look in his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, Hu Tong wholeheartedly recommended the Wanlong Bath."
"Uh..." Chen An suddenly felt a little cold.
He said depressedly: "This Hu Tong is a pervert. How can that old man tolerate this? And he hasn't confessed yet?"
"I fainted halfway and didn't have time to say anything!" Duan Chi said with a wry smile.
Chen An's eyes flashed: "Wait, spread the word and say that the assassin has confessed. Besides him, there are two other king-level assassins!"
Duan Chi nodded: "Yes, I will do it right away!"
Chen An leaned back in his chair, suddenly feeling a little annoyed!
"When can we deal with these two hidden assassins? Damn it! They're delaying my retreat like this. I can't do that. If I don't reach the second level, that tough woman at home won't even talk to me!"
