Chapter 752 Zhuge Hong

"Hong'er, at the court meeting tomorrow, I will join forces with those who support you and the officials we have wooed, and nominate you again to make you an alternate official of the Shoufu Pavilion. As long as you reach this position, then replacing Chu Xian will be Don’t worry about the certainty of the matter, the family will definitely do everything in its power to help you ascend to the throne. After you ascend, our Zhuge family can once again stand shoulder to shoulder with the Yang family and return to the power center of the holy pilgrimage. This is also your grandfather’s lifelong wish " In Zhuge's house, an old man said earnestly.

He is Zhuge Hong's cheap father, Zhuge Yanshan.

This Zhuge Yanshan was suave and suave when he was young, but he left a lot of love debts outside, even if he already had several wives in his family, he couldn't stop him from messing around outside.It's just that although he left many illegitimate children outside, only Zhuge Hong was actually brought back by him. After all, only the most promising, and even the entire Zhuge family, had to rely on Zhuge Hong.

On the opposite side, Zhuge Hong nodded.

He is already a Daoist, and his current official position is extremely high. Even if he faces his cheap father, he doesn't need to be too respectful. Of course, the most important thing is that he still hates Zhuge's family and this irresponsible father Father.

He has never forgotten the hardships of childhood and the bullying suffered by his mother.

If it wasn't for the Zhuge family's value, he would have gotten rid of this useless family long ago, but it would be a matter of time.Zhuge Hong is scheming, has a city government, and knows forbearance. If not for this, he would not have been promoted all the way to this position. The reason is that he is indeed capable, and he is indeed meticulous and extremely diligent in official affairs.

He had already made up his mind that even if he stepped into the Shoufu Pavilion, he would never listen to Zhuge's family. This family has been rotten to the root, and it has gradually declined in the past hundred years. It is not bad luck, but Zhuge's family. Generation after generation is wasteful, even if I have no feud with this Zhuge family, it is impossible to be dragged down by this family.

What's ridiculous is that Zhuge Yanshan still expects him to give them a hand after his success?
too naive.

Could it be that Zhuge Yanshan forgot how Zhuge Hong came here in the past 30 years?
Those pains, those despairs are all because of this Zhuge Yanshan.

As for the enemy, I only have one, and that is this person.

At this time, someone from outside made a notification, handing over the news, Zhuge Yanshan's face changed instantly when he heard it.

"Chu Xian is back!"

Hearing this, Zhuge Hong's complexion also changed, but he is now in a high position, and he is also extremely stable. At this moment, he said: "It's normal to come back. After all, Chu Xian is extremely amazing, but the life-eating witch curse is an unbreakable witch clan." The incantation, this point has been confirmed, and I also heard that Grand Master Lu Yan and even the emperor came to help break the witchcraft in Chu Xian's body, but the result was still in vain, and he could only barely suppress it. But the world's spells, the more suppressed they are, the stronger their backlash will be in the future. Ten months have passed, and Chu Xian is now afraid that he is already in danger and is on the verge of falling. Maybe he came back this time to see his family for the last time."

Zhuge Yanshan's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he nodded repeatedly: "It makes sense, but this Chu Xian is really a monster. He was just an ordinary person without any foundation, but who would have thought that he could go all the way to the top and become a leader?" People, immortals, and all of them are supported and favored by the big bosses in the court, but because he is too smooth, even the gods don't like him, hahaha, this gave our Zhuge family a chance. "

What he said was a bit out of level. When Zhuge Hong heard it, his eyes were faintly displeased. Although he was going to compete for Chu Xian's official position, Zhuge Hong still admired Chu Xian. Such gloating is really contemptuous and embarrassing.

But Zhuge Hong didn't open his mouth, nor did he express his thoughts. After all, he still had to rely on the support of Zhuge's family, and no matter what, this Zhuge Yanshan was also his biological father. No good.

"Chu Xian is back, I'll visit him." Zhuge Hong said at this time, Zhuge Yanshan rolled his eyes when he heard it, and nodded hurriedly: "This plan is very good. In this way, those who said you robbed Chu Xian Official position, the discordant remarks with him can be stopped, and it can also reveal the mind of our Zhuge family. Of course, if Chu Xian has self-knowledge, he should retire earlier and give up the official position in the Shoufu Pavilion to you .”

The displeasure and resentment in Zhuge Hong's heart was getting bigger and bigger. He got up to leave now, and he really didn't want to stay here any longer, because if he went on like this, he really couldn't guarantee whether he would say a rebuttal.

Still out of sight and out of mind.

Zhuge Hong asked people to prepare generous gifts, and after changing his clothes, he took people to visit the Chu Mansion. At this moment, the sky was getting dark, and it was time for each family to light up the lamps. It was a good time to visit at this time, otherwise it would be a bit late. It's abrupt.

Chu Xian was talking to Ji Wen. At this moment, someone came to report. After Chu Xian asked who the visitor was, he laughed: "This person doesn't talk about it, but I have heard that Zhuge Hong is not simple. He has an astonishing talent, and although he had met a few times before, he didn't get to know him deeply after all. This time he came, he must have come to find out the truth. I might as well show my edge. I hope he has self-knowledge and is willing to retreat despite difficulties. It’s good to look for boredom and embarrassment.”

When Ji Wen heard it, he smiled: "Chu Xian, you have good intentions. If it were me, you would deliberately show the enemy weak, and then catch him by surprise, and make him lose face at the court meeting. Only by doing this can we hit him and make him lose face." That Zhuge family should stop having such unrealistic and unreasonable thoughts."

Chu Xian shook his head and got up: "You are in a high position, and you should not destroy high officials in the court for your own selfishness. Zhuge Hong is a talent, and the Holy Dynasty needs it. If so, why put people to death, you have to forgive others and forgive others."

Ji Wen nodded: "I see, Chu Dashan, then go and meet this Zhuge Hong."

Chu Xian nodded, turned and left, and went directly to the living room.

There was a servant from the Chu family who went to entertain him, and when he saw Chu Xian walking in, he hurriedly saluted, while Zhuge Hong was slightly taken aback when he saw Chu Xian, but he immediately got up and said hello.

In terms of official position, he is one level behind Chu Xian, and Chu Xian is an immortal official at the level of Shoufu Pavilion, so when he met Chu Xian in the past, he had to salute properly.

In the past, Chu Xian's appearance was much younger than him, but now, Chu Xian's appearance is much older than Zhuge Hong.

At this time, Zhuge Hong didn't put on any pretense, and said directly: "I heard that Master Chu has been affected by witchcraft, and I wanted to visit him a long time ago. Today I learned that Master Chu has returned to Beijing, so I made a special trip to visit. I wonder if it has improved?"

When asking questions, Zhuge Hong naturally observed Chu Xian carefully. Judging from Chu Xian's appearance, he was actually much older than before. You must know that the aging speed of immortals is several times slower than that of ordinary people. Judging from Chu Xian's current appearance, he is the same as those old immortal officials in Shoufu Pavilion.

It really is the life-swallowing witch curse.

The life-eating witch curse that Zhuge Hong found out was to devour life essence at an extremely fast speed, making people age, and finally died at the end of their lifespan. Chu Xian's appearance really confirmed what he knew.

Naturally, this discovery is a good thing for Zhuge Hong.

From Zhuge Hong's point of view, Chu Xian might be able to see that he was pretending to visit, but so what?This is the case in the officialdom. I am visiting legitimately, with good intentions and a clear conscience.
Moreover, Zhuge Hong had already planned to come to "self-recommend". Chu Xian didn't have much life, so he must have been considering the way out, and the Shoufu Pavilion must be withdrawn.You must know that in the officialdom, Zhuge Hong also has some self-confidence. He admires Chu Xian, but this does not mean that he will think that he is inferior to Chu Xian.

This is what Zhuge Hong thought.

In short, it is aboveboard and not false.

But he didn't expect Chu Xian to be the same, he can't play tricks.

Then Chu Xian laughed: "Master Zhuge, I'm sorry, I have some adventures when I go out from Beijing this time. Although the shamanism has not been eradicated, the situation has been stabilized, so there is nothing to worry about."

Zhuge Hong was taken aback for a moment, his heart jumped violently.

its not right.

According to my own understanding, the Life-eating Witch Curse has no solution at all, how could it be stable?
It can be seen that Chu Xian's appearance does not seem to be lying. He is also a Daoist, so how could Zhuge Hong fail to notice the aura and force on Chu Xian's body that is much larger than his own.

This kind of thing can't be faked.

And after careful observation, Zhuge Hong immediately felt terrified. He actually felt an aura from Chu Xian that can only be possessed by a master of Feiyu Immortal Realm.

This discovery made Zhuge Hong's scalp numb and his forehead sweat.

He knew very well that Chu Xian did not pretend to be fine, but really suppressed the witchcraft in his body, and even profited from it, raising his cultivation level by several levels.

Before Chu Xian left the capital, his cultivation had definitely not reached this level. Judging from Zhuge Hong's point of view, even the six current books may not be as powerful as Chu Xian.

In the blink of an eye, Zhuge Hong knew that his previous plan was going to be in vain.

This incident was not without warning. During this period of time, the Zhuge family could be said to be constantly operating, trying to create a posture that Chu Xian had to abdicate to be worthy. Everyone in the official circles in Jingzhou already knew this.

But under such circumstances, those high-level officials in the Shoufu Pavilion still didn't care about it, and they didn't take it seriously. Even if Zhuge Yanshan prepared a generous gift, he went to Yang's house to visit Yang Zhenqing, and wanted Yang Zhenqing to come forward and help Yang Zhenqing herself didn't respond positively, she just played Tai Chi, and with a few words, Zhuge Yanshan was beaten back.

At the beginning, he didn't understand the truth of this, but at this moment, Zhuge Hong wanted to understand.

That is to say, from the very beginning, the top management of the Shoufu Pavilion never thought of replacing Chu Xian, or even if they considered a candidate, they probably didn't include themselves in the candidate.

All the previous things were more like 'entertaining oneself'.
