What’s even more depressing is that all these responsibilities were put on his head.
Of course, he did doubt Cui Zhihao's words, because in his impression, Cui Cen would not be so narrow-minded.
However, the current situation and the repeated blind actions of the Cui family have indeed made him a little discouraged.
If Cui Cen could be considered a wise leader.
The second generation of the Cui family was simply too much for him to bear to look at.
He even couldn't help but think pessimistically: "At this rate, even if he can really assist Cui Cen successfully, he will end up dying in the second generation!"
Liu Zhi thought as he walked forward with his head down, without even looking at the road. The guards and servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion recognized him and naturally did not stop him, allowing him to walk out of the Prime Minister's Mansion unknowingly.
By the time I realized it, he was already on the street outside the Prime Minister's Mansion. I wanted to turn back...
But thinking of the attitude of the Cui brothers, he couldn't help but hesitate again.
Suddenly I remembered that Nanshifang was not far ahead, and when I thought of Nanshifang, I remembered the newly opened restaurant called Tianxiaju.
"Humph, Tianxiaju, a mere restaurant, what a boast!"
Thinking of the three words "Tianxiaju", he couldn't help but sneer.
But then he shook his head and said, "Never mind the taste, at least the wine is really good."
Never mind, it’s like this anyway, I might as well go get drunk for a while, and we can deal with other things later.
The thought came to Liu Zhi, and without thinking too much, he took big strides and headed towards Nanshifang.
But after taking a few steps, he was suddenly blocked by someone.
Looking up, I saw that although the man was dressed as a scholar, he was very tall and strong, and his face and demeanor seemed to have a vague murderous aura.
Seeing Liu Zhi looking over, the man raised his hand and saluted, saying with a smile, "I, the emperor's minister, Wang Xuance, greet Mr. Wenshan."
Liu Zhi's eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing this, but his expression remained unchanged. He smiled faintly, cupped his fists, and returned the greeting, saying, "I've long heard of your great name. I didn't realize that Mr. Xuan Ce, a close minister to the Emperor, had come to see a mere country bumpkin like Liu."
"Ha ha!"
Wang Xuance laughed heartily upon hearing this, then shook his head and said, "Mr. Wenshan, you are mistaken. Not to mention that Mr. Wenshan also holds a title of nobility from the Qin Dynasty, and is no peasant, let alone the residence of the Prime Minister of the Great Qin. When did it become a wilderness?"
"You are a good debater, worthy of being the emperor's think tank. No wonder the emperor has such a counselor as you by his side."
Upon hearing this, Liu Zhi narrowed his eyes again and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
It is not unfair that Cui family lost this time. The emperor has such a wise and strategic person with extraordinary temperament and eloquence around him. As Cui family's counselor, I didn't get any information at all. If I know myself but not the enemy, how can I not be defeated!
Instead, the other party happened to find him at this time. It was probably because he had already known everything about the Cui family.
For a moment, I couldn't help but feel a little frightened.
Almost subconsciously, I wanted to tell Cui Cen about this immediately.
But as soon as he had the thought, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
However, although he smiled bitterly in his heart, he showed no sign of weakness on the surface. He sneered slightly and said, "So... Your Excellency, have you come here today because you think the Emperor has already won the battle and are here to challenge me?"
