The world of film and television starts from a young age

Xiao Qinyan's sudden invitation was indeed out of Zhou Chen's expectation, because he had nothing to do with Xiao Qinyan in the past.

But Zhou Chen could also guess several reasons, either because of Gu Qianfan, or because Xiao Qinyan wanted to have a good relationship with him and make plans for the future.

But no matter what, it shouldn't be aimed at him.

What Xiao Qinyan said was pleasant to hear, and his attitude was very enthusiastic, but Zhou Chen still remained vigilant and did not relax.

Xiao Qinyan is an old fox. As one of the leaders of the Queen's Party, Xiao Qinyan was able to defeat Ke Xianggong, and later even Qi Mu, and his power was enough to show how powerful he is.

Facing such a scheming guy, even if Zhou Chendang is not afraid of him, he must be vigilant. This is a real villain, capable of anything.

As the host, Xiao Qinyan kept smiling the whole time, exchanging cups with Zhou Chen, but he never revealed his purpose.

As for Zhou Chen, he also remained expressionless. Xiao Qinyan didn't say a word, so he pretended that he didn't know anything, and he just came to drink with Xiao Qinyan.

Xiao Qinyan had been observing Zhou Chen all the time, and seeing that it had been so long, Zhou Chen still didn't show any signs of anxiety, and he had a higher opinion of Zhou Chen in his heart.

He originally thought that Zhou Chen was young, even if he became famous as a young man, the city would not be too deep.

But now, he knew that he was wrong. Zhou Chen was young, but he could really hold his breath, and he was always as stable as Mount Tai, not affected by his momentum and words.

In the end, Xiao Qinyan couldn't bear it anymore. He took the initiative to find Zhou Chen, not to play tricks on Zhou Chen.

"Ziheng, I heard from my subordinates that you went to Hangzhou Qiantang a few months ago. I was working there at that time. It's a pity that I didn't meet Ziheng."

Zhou Chen chuckled and said: "It's the younger generation's fault. At that time, I thought that Uncle Xiao was busy with his affairs, so I didn't dare to come to disturb him. However, I met a good friend in Qiantang. He was also a Jinshi in the same year as me. His name is Gu Qianfan, the current Deputy Envoy of the Imperial City Department, Uncle Xiao should know, right?"

Xiao Qinyan's eyes flashed, and he still smiled and said: "Vice Envoy Gu, of course the old man knows, it is said that he is highly valued by the officials now, although he can't compare with you, Ziheng, but he is still a very promising young people."

"Yes."

Zhou Chen said with emotion: "I am good friends with Deputy Envoy Gu, and I know him quite well. He is a very good person and worth relying on."

"Really? Hahaha..."

Xiao Qinyan had already understood Zhou Chen's meaning from Zhou Chen's words. The relationship between him and Gu Qianfan seemed very secret to the outside world, but if someone carefully investigated, they could actually find clues.

Especially for a noble with a long heritage like Zhongyonghoufu, it is not surprising to know his relationship with Gu Qianfan.

But of course he wouldn't take the initiative to admit it.

"Ziheng, a few days ago, you wrote the chant of lime specially for Ke Xianggong. It is really profound and admirable. It completely expresses Ke Xianggong's character. Compared with Ke Xianggong, the old man I'm really ashamed of myself."

"Uncle Xiao is serious. Mr. Ke is the mentor of the younger generation. The younger generation respects him very much, but Uncle Xiao is also doing his best for the imperial court. He is also admirable."

"Really, haha, compared to Mr. Ke, this old man is really far behind. My greatest hope in this life is to follow Mr. Ke's example and do my best for the court and the world."

Xiao Qinyan acted as if he cared for the country and the people, as if Ke Xianggong was really his admired colleague.

"It's just a pity. The enthusiasm of the old man is always misunderstood by the world. They say that I am a disaster for the country and the people, call me a minister, and try their best to resist me."

"However, these old men are not afraid, because the old man is very clear about the purpose of everything he does. Everything the old man does is for the sake of the Song Dynasty and the people of the world. I am not afraid that the world will misunderstand me. I only hope that I can do it better."

While talking, tears flowed out uncontrollably, and Zhou Chen's goosebumps came out from watching it.

What is an actor, little fresh meat, hurry up and take a look, this is called an actor.

This is the real actor in reality, and in the future, he will be able to win an Oscar.

He already knew that Xiao Qinyan was shameless, but when he actually saw him, Zhou Chen still couldn't help feeling that he was too shameless.

Xiao Qinyan compared himself with Ke Xianggong, which did not raise his own level, but lowered Ke Xianggong's level.

Although it felt disgusting, Zhou Chen had to cooperate with his performance.

"Uncle Xiao's mind is beyond the reach of the younger generation."

Xiao Qinyan wiped away his tears with a silk scarf, restrained his grief, and became serious.

"Ziheng, you don't know. On the way back to Beijing, the old man was assassinated by gangsters several times. If it wasn't for the servants in the house who swore to protect him, I might not be able to return to Tokyo now, but would have died on the way."

When Zhou Chen heard it, he immediately jumped up: "What? Who is so bold that he dared to assassinate an important official of the court? He really didn't know what to do."

The performance was filled with righteous indignation and anger, but after a few curses, there was no more to say.

Xiao Qinyan who was waiting patiently, the corners of his eyes twitched, Zhou Chen's difficulty was really beyond his expectation, he had already performed so well, but Zhou Chen was always reticent, which made his The rhythm of the performance was disrupted.

"Ziheng, although the old man is already in Tokyo, he is still besieged on all sides, and he is anxious. He doesn't know when he will be assassinated. Ziheng, can you help the old man?"

Zhou Chen frowned, thought for a long time, and finally said: "Uncle Xiao, I have only encountered such things as being assassinated on the battlefield, and I have never encountered it after leaving the border, so I really don't know how to deal with it." , but Tokyo City is the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, it is heavily guarded, and there are also guards such as the Palace Secretary and the Imperial City Secretary, the assassins should not dare to assassinate in the city, right?"

Xiao Qinyan shook his head and said: "Zi Heng's words are wrong. Those killers are so bold, there is nothing they dare not do, and the old man also suspects that the man behind the latest hat demon case is the same as the person who sent someone to assassinate the old man , is likely to be the same force.”

"what?"

Zhou Chen slapped the table again, and said loudly: "Uncle Xiao, what are you waiting for? Let's go to the Imperial City Division and the Dianqian Division now, and let them quickly find a way to arrest people. If it doesn't work, let's go to the official. Family, the government will definitely take care of it.”

Seeing Zhou Chen's 'clumsy' performance, Xiao Qinyan felt a toothache. This kid won't cry when he sees the coffin, why must he continue to be in such a stalemate?

"Ziheng."

Zhou Chen saw Xiao Qinyan's expression so serious for the first time, and gradually restrained his exaggerated expression.

"Ziheng, you must have understood what this old man means. In fact, this old man already has an object of suspicion, and that is Qi Mu and Qi Zhongcheng. Ziheng should be familiar with this person, right?"

Zhou Chen didn't answer, but asked lightly: "Uncle Xiao, are you going to open the skylight to speak out?"

Xiao Qinyan didn't feel embarrassed, but nodded seriously and said: "Yes, open the skylight and speak honestly, but I don't know if Ziheng is willing to listen to the old man?"

Zhou Chen was silent for a few breaths, then stretched out his hand: "Uncle Xiao, please."

Xiao Qinyan wasn't trying to show off, he directly stated his purpose.

"Ziheng, the old man knows that there is a gap between you and Qi Mu, if there is a chance to get rid of him, you should be happy to see it happen, right?"

"I don't have any deep hatred with Qi Zhongcheng, but it doesn't make any difference to me whether he exists or not."

Xiao Qinyan frowned, and asked again: "If the old man wants to cooperate with you and get rid of Qi Mu's party, would Ziheng be willing?"

Zhou Chen tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and said slowly: "Xiao Xiangye, as I said just now, it doesn't make any difference to me whether Qi Mu exists or not, but it's different to Xiangye. This person is not willing to do things that are thankless."

Xiao Qinyan couldn't hear Zhou Chen's meaning, it was nothing more than feeling that it was useless and didn't want to help, but he was already prepared.

"As far as the old man knows, Qi Mu has colluded with the Dianqian Secretary. The Dianqian Sidu Yuhou is Qi Mu's man, and even the Dianqian Si Guo is in charge, and he is inextricably linked with Qi Mu. .”

Zhou Chen's expression changed slightly. He knew that there was Qi Mu in the front of the palace, because in the TV series, the commander in front of the palace who had an intersection with Gu Qianfan was Qi Mu's man. Later, the killers who assassinated Xiao Qinyan on the boat were all The people in front of the palace.

but.

"Qi Mu himself is just a middle-ranking officer, and Commander Guo Du is a second-rank military officer, higher in rank than Qi Mu. Could he be from Qi Mu?"

Xiao Qin said: "That's why the old man said that they might be in collusion. Naturally, the commander of Guo Du is not Qi Mu's person. Qi Mu is not qualified enough, but as far as I know, the commander of Guo Du is very good to Mr. Ke. Admired, and Ke Xianggong and Qi Mu are both in the same line, so there is no guarantee that there will be something between them, you are right."

Zhou Chen chuckled lightly and said, "According to Mr. Xiao, I'm still Mr. Ke's disciple. Does that mean I might have collusion with Qi Zhongcheng?"

"Hahaha……"

Xiao Qinyan laughed loudly: "Master Zhou was joking, you are only related to Ke Xianggong, but you are from the noble lineage, and you are destined to be on the same boat as Qingliu's lineage. I am also aware of the matter, so it is absolutely impossible for you to have anything to do with Qingliu's lineage."

"The commander in front of the palace, the commander of the deputy capital." Zhou Chen said suddenly.

"What?" Xiao Qinyan was surprised.

Zhou Chen smiled and said: "Master Xiao should understand what I mean, I can cooperate with Master Xiao, but I will take the position of commander of the deputy capital in front of the palace."

Xiao Qinyan took a deep look at Zhou Chen, "Master Zhou is really courageous, so why don't you just say that the commander in front of the palace?"

"According to Master Xiang, can I become the commander of the capital?"

"Master Zhou really dares to think."

Xiao Qinyan suppressed the unhappiness in his heart. He felt that Zhou Chen really had too much appetite. The commander in front of the palace was the pinnacle of military officers. How could he have the ability to work in Beijing.

"That's why I was talking about the deputy capital commander."

Zhou Chen took it for granted, he didn't even think about it because it was impossible, but the deputy commander was different.

Now he is the commander of the deputy capital of the guards' army Ma Jun. Among the three yamen, he is second only to the commander of the Dianqian Sidu and the deputy commander of the capital. Therefore, it is impossible to become the commander of the Dianqian Sidu, but he can take the next step to become the deputy capital. Commander, there may not be no chance.

And the most important point is that he knows that in the near future, the position of Commander of the Dianqian Commander will be a vacant position and will no longer be easily established. At that time, the Deputy Commander of the Diandu will become the actual controller of the Dianqian Division.

Xiao Qinyan fell into deep thought, Zhou Chen was originally a loyal and brave marquis, from the third grade, and now he is the commander of the deputy capital of the Ma Junsi, and he is indeed qualified to compete for the deputy capital commander of the Dianqian Division.

It's just that in such an important position, how could he easily let Zhou Chen succeed? If there is such a chance, wouldn't it be better to replace him with his own people?
But he also had to admit that his people were far worse than Zhou Chen.

After hesitating for a long time, he spoke again.

"Then what can you bring me?"

Zhou Chen knew that he was stable, so he became calmer: "Master Xiao, don't forget, I am an honorable man, and my uncle's family is also from the Meng family."

Xiao Qinyan's expression froze. There was also a reason why he chose Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen himself was not simple, let alone Zhou Chen was related to the Meng family.

Although the Meng family would basically not intervene in the disputes of the factions in the court, he did not need their help, as long as the Xungui family did not deliberately target him, it was enough.

"Can you replace Xungui's family?"

"Mr. Xiao thinks too highly of me. Although I am a member of the honored family, I am not qualified to replace the honored family. I just want to tell you that there is the honored family standing behind me, and the honored family may have There are not many promising people, but we are the most united."

Zhou Chen is also very proficient in using power to overwhelm people, whether it is or not, let Xiao Qinyan be fooled first.

How could Xiao Qinyan be intimidated by Zhou Chen, but he is very aware of his own weakness. Although he has great power now, he basically relies on the power of the queen and the officials, just like a rootless duckweed, Floating.

And what Zhou Chen has is the military power that he lacks the most, and the Xungui line represents military power.

Why did he want to ease the relationship with Gu Qianfan?

The reason is naturally that Gu Qianfan is capable, and Gu Qianfan is in the Imperial City Division, and he needs the force of the Imperial City Division.

Although Lei Jing can also intimidate him, but Lei Jing is an outsider after all, how can his own son be trusted.

What's more, Lei Jing is a two-faced man who is not trustworthy at all. He might stab him back at a critical moment, so of course he won't trust Lei Jing.

"Master Zhou, this old man really wants to cooperate with you. As long as you can help me get rid of Qi Mu's party and let me gain a foothold in the imperial court, the deputy chief of the palace will command and envoy, and this old man can help you find it."

"Then it's settled."

Zhou Chen stretched out his hand, Xiao Qinyan also stretched out his hand, and the two clapped their hands together to form an alliance.
