Gu Lanshan stood blankly, she even trembled, looked at Gu Yuanjiang, and asked in a stiff voice: "Dad, what do you mean?"
"What do you mean?" Gu Yuanjiang flicked his sleeves angrily, "I told you a long time ago not to hang out with that stupid son named Zhang, but you just didn't listen. You gave your body to him before you were married. When he threw you away, where did you want me to put the Gu family's face!"
"father!"
Gu Lanshan shouted loudly.
"Hmph! I won't let my father talk about the scandalous things you did!" Gu Yuanjiang glared at Gu Lanshan, "If you were still a virgin, Chen Ke would have to talk to you no matter what. Now you are just... ...You are that kind of person, how can others pay attention to you!"
Although Gu Yuanjiang is a snob, he can also understand a thing or two about human feelings.
Chen Ke could ask Gu Lanshui to come in and join the banquet, but he ignored Gu Lanshan. Do you really think that the immortal master Chen Ke was a fake immortal master? Gu Yuanjiang has dealt with immortal masters, and the immortal masters can tell at a glance whether a man or woman is pure.
Just now, Gu Yuanjiang was just trying to be a living doctor. The result was as expected, and Chen Ke could see it directly.
"It's embarrassing for me. Let the Zhang family come to pay the betrothal gift tomorrow. If the Zhang family abandons you, you can be a concubine for Mr. Huang from now on." Gu Yuanjiang snorted coldly.
"Dad, Mr. Huang is already fifty years old. Her granddaughter is as old as me. I will be my concubine!" Gu Lanshan looked at Gu Yuanjiang in disbelief.
"Master Huang's eldest son is the Minister of Household Affairs. It is the honor of our Gu family to be able to join the Huang family. Don't you think it's worth sacrificing you to help the entire Gu family!" Gu Yuanjiang snorted coldly and grabbed Gu Lanshan. His hands went home.
"Dad, let me go, I won't dare to do it again."
"No chance!"
In Jingzhao Mansion, Chen Ke and Gu Lanshui were still talking about some interesting stories from the past in the countryside, drinking and drinking, while Xiao Jiu next to them was sulking.
Halfway through the feast.
Long Tu asked: "How do you deal with Ansheng Palace."
Chen Ke said: "I will not be a holy master, let them do it themselves."
Long Tu smiled and shook his head, and Chen Ke said, "What's wrong?"
Gu Lanshui listened quietly beside him. With his status, he was just the son of a small official. How could he listen to such important national affairs.
This is already considered a state secret.
Long Tu said: "You have worked hard to solve the troubles in Anshenggong, but now you want to throw him aside. Aren't you worried that Anshenggong will repeat the old incident of Sun Chuanlong? I think Sun Chuanlong is a bit You are right, Zhao State cannot allow practitioners to put pressure on the people."
"But what does all this have to do with me? I suffered a disaster that day, and no one helped me." Chen Ke said, "I am just seeking revenge and don't care about other issues."
Long Tu's kind face was full of smiles, and he said: "Chen Ke, I know you are a kind-hearted person. I thought so from the first time I met you. Until now, I still think you are a kind-hearted person. Good people."
Chen Ke listened silently. Whether he was a good person or not was no longer important.
Long Tu continued: "Zhao State cannot have practitioners weighing down on mortals. This is the value of the existence of An Sheng Palace. Since you have become the next Saint Master, continue to do your job well."
Chen Ke said: "I won't stay in Zhao for too long. Even if I become a Saint Master, I won't have time to deal with Zhao's affairs."
Long Tu said: "Situ Guangxian has never handled the affairs of Ansheng Palace. The real person to handle it is the person you choose to take charge. You can choose another person to do what Sun Chuanlong did, but your palace The rules need to be changed."
Chen Ke was silent for a long time. Looking at Long Tu's hopeful eyes, he nodded slowly: "I can do it. As for the palace rules, just follow the laws of the State of Zhao. Ansheng Palace is the Yamen of the Criminal Department among practitioners!"
"This method is very good." Long Tu smiled and nodded, "Compared to Situ Guangxian, who is a stubborn ass, you are the most suitable person for Ansheng Palace!"
Chen Ke looked at Guard Bai and said, "Brother Bai is upright and upright, and he seems to be a chivalrous person at first glance. Why don't you become the deputy palace master of Ansheng Palace?"
Upon hearing this, Guard Bai immediately shook his head: "I can't do it. I'm good at protecting you. If I were to be an official and make the decision, I really can't do it. Brother Chen, please don't embarrass me."
"This...I can't find anyone else for a while." When Chen Ke saw Bai Weiwei's refusal, he looked at Long Tu and said.
"Don't be anxious, take your time, there are always people who insist on justice in the world, and you will always meet them." Long Tu said with a smile.
Chen Ke looked at the other officials on the table. They wanted to be the deputy palace lord of Ansheng Palace. This was a position of great power, but Chen Ke was not familiar with them and would not give it to them.
Xie Hongfei?
Chen Ke looked at him twice, then shook his head, he couldn't do it. Without perseverance, you just go with the flow. Although you will protect the love in your heart, you will also bow to power.
Chen Ke looked at Hu Xiaoxue and shook his head: "This girl has fallen into a state of madness. If she takes the position of deputy palace master, it will probably be a disaster for the entire Zhao Kingdom."
A woman in hatred is the most terrifying existence.
Chen Ke finally looked at Gu Lanshui and asked a question: "Brother Gu, your father has offended me. If I want to attack him, will you help him or me?"
Gu Lanshui felt dizzy after hearing this. Sure enough, this banquet was not delicious. Why did we go from discussing the selection of Saint Master to the grudges and hatreds surrounding him?
"It's about this." Gu Lanshui said with a stiff head, "My father and Brother Chen do have some conflicts, but they are not mortal enemies. If Brother Chen is willing, I am willing to apologize to my father."
"Brother Gu, don't you know that I am a cultivator, what you mortals call an immortal master? If you humiliate an immortal master, you will die." Chen Ke said lightly.
Xie Hongfei looked at Gu Lanshui with a smile, and he noticed the difference in this person. Long Tu also looked at Gu Lanshui with curiosity, and he somewhat understood the meaning of Chen Ke's words.
"Brother Chen, if you are really angry, I am willing to trade my father's life for another. He and you have only a small conflict, but in your eyes it is a big one. I can't resolve the conflict between you. I can only use my Use your life to dispel the hatred in the hearts of fellow Taoists."
"Aren't you afraid of death?"
"Afraid."
"Is it worth it?"
"It's not worth it, but I have to do it. He gave me life, raised me, and had no worries about food and clothing. In your eyes, he may be a philistine, but in my eyes, he is a loving father! I can't Change his mistakes, but make amends for him!" Gu Lanshui said seriously.
"Zheng!"
There was a clear cry, and Chen Ke suddenly had a sword in his hand. The blade of the sword shone with cold light, as if he was about to drink blood at any time.
The blade cut Gu Lanshui's neck, and a drop of blood stained the blade, spreading a layer of bloody clothes.
"I'm really not afraid of death. I'm not kidding you. If you are willing, my sword will not show mercy." Chen Ke said.
Gu Lanshui closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "Come on, I just want to trade my life for my father's safety."
"Uh-huh."
With the sword in its sheath, Gu Lanshui waited for a moment, but when he didn't feel his neck falling off, he opened his eyes.
Chen Ke and Long Tu were all smiling. Gu Lanshui said, "Brother Chen, why don't you take action?"
Chen Ke said: "I have already taken action. I just killed your selfishness. Deputy Palace Master of Ansheng Palace, you can do it."
"ah?"
Gu Lanshui looked surprised and said, "Brother Chen, I'm not an immortal master, so I can't do it."
"Sun Chuanlong was not an immortal master at the beginning. Ansheng Palace should have special cultivation methods. If you practice them, you will become a master." Chen Ke said lightly.
"But." Gu Lanshui still refused.
Long Tu said: "Little brother Gu, for the sake of the people of Zhao country and for your father, you must also sit on this deputy palace master."
"Okay, if I don't do well, Brother Chen can just kick me out." Gu Lanshui said.
Chen Ke said: "I think you can do a good job and not be greedy for wealth and power, only then can you truly keep the people's hearts in your heart."
Gu Lanshui did not expect that he would become the deputy palace master of Ansheng Palace in just one meal. Life is like a dream, it is really unpredictable!
After the banquet was over, Long Tu asked someone to send Gu Lanshui away.
"Sir, do you think he can do it?"
Chen Ke stood beside Long Tu with a puzzled look on his face.
Long Tu said: "It depends on his heart. I think it's okay, but power needs to be tested. Let's wait and see for a while."
"Yeah." Chen Ke nodded.
Standing on the railing on the second floor, looking at the lights of thousands of houses in the capital, Chen Ke said with a smile: "I didn't expect the emperor to confer me a title today."
Long Tu said: "Sun Chuanlong was killed. His Majesty needs to use your prestige to reorganize the imperial court. By canonizing you, you are regarded as His Majesty's supporter of immortality. If you don't like it, I will apologize to you on behalf of Your Majesty."
As Long Tu said this, he was about to salute and kowtow to Chen Ke. Chen Ke stopped him and said, "I don't want you to kowtow to me, but His Majesty the Emperor is too shrewd. You should be careful. After all, accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. I think our Emperor is not a mediocre Emperor."
The Emperor of Zhao is certainly not mediocre. He has been suppressed by Ansheng Palace until now, but he was able to canonize Chen Ke immediately after Ansheng Palace was defeated and seize Chen Ke's reputation for his own use.
"If you let me die, I will have to die. Just like you practitioners are walking on the path of immortality, and I am walking on the path of human ministers, I have already made such preparations. Besides, I will assist your majesty and prevent him from walking on the path of mediocrity. Road." Long Tu said slowly.
Chen Ke smiled and said: "Then I wish you all the best. If there is really any danger in the future, you can go to the town at the foot of Lingkong Mountain in the southwest border to look for me. I will tell people to wait for you."
"Haha, thank you very much." Long Tu said with a smile.
Chen Ke looked at the sky. The night was like a wash, and the sky was full of stars. The gentle night breeze blew in with a hint of coolness, dispelling the heat of the day.
"I hope there are as many good officials as Mr. Zhao Guoru, the better." Chen Ke said his wish with a smile.
Long Tu shook his head slightly and sighed: "Maybe there were many people who wanted to be a good official at the beginning, but as time went by..."
