A female novel about traveling through a book? Learn about the power of the overlord at the beginnin

Thinking of the tribute, Xu Han's silent heart was inevitably stirred.

If Mr. Wu had not valued his talent and tried his best to protect him in front of the King of Qi, he would have been doomed.

But even with Mr. Wu's ability, he could not find out the existence of this force.

So, Xu Han gradually became desperate.

Once, he was young and frivolous, and he wanted to sell all he had learned in his life to the emperor's family and live up to his youth.

But this huge blow completely broke him.

And now, although Xu Han is alive, he is like a walking corpse.

He numbly copies books every day and only does his insignificant work.

The only thing he misses is his mother.

"Mother, what are you talking about?" Xu Han comforted softly,"When mother gets better, Han'er will take you away from the imperial capital. I heard that the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is very beautiful, so Han'er will take you there to enjoy it.""

"When the time comes, I will marry a wife and give you a grandson."

Xu Han whispered, trying his best to instill motivation in his mother to continue living.

Mother Xu looked at her gentle and elegant son, and a feeling of guilt surged in her heart.

Han'er was always like this, so considerate that it made people feel distressed.

She knew better than anyone how hard her own Han'er worked.

But this God is unfair, why does he treat his son like this?

"My name is Chu Heng. Excuse me, is Brother Xu at home?"

Just as the mother and son were talking, a voice came from outside the house.

Xu Han had just put down the medicine bowl in his hand and was stunned when he heard it.

Chu Heng?

Why did he suddenly come to him?

Even if he tried to stay out of it, he still knew about this upstart who had recently risen around the King of Qi.

This person also recommended himself like himself, but in just a few days, the King of Qi relied on him and became the commander of the personal guard.

Not long ago, at the military parade, the extraordinary performance of the King of Qi's personal guard camp also made the other party's training ability widely known.

This person, except for Mr. Wu, is already the most valued person in the King of Qi's mansion.

Xu Han was puzzled. He had no intersection with the other party, so why did he suddenly come to him?

"Mother, please take a rest first. Han'er will go out and take a look."

Hearing this, Xu's mother nodded:"Han'er will go and take care of things. I feel much better after drinking the medicine."

Xu Han's heart ached when he heard this.

It is said that no one knows a son better than his mother, but as a son, how could Xu Han not know that his mother had been suffering from illness.

It was just that she didn't show it in front of him because she was afraid of worrying him.

Xu Han did not dare to neglect the new noble of the Prince of Qi's Mansion. After saying something to his mother, he hurried out to greet him.

At this time, when Chu Heng saw this handsome but very thin young man coming out, he bowed politely without waiting for the other party to speak, with a faint smile on his face:"Brother Xu, I hope you can forgive me for coming here uninvited." Seeing this, Xu Han hurriedly returned the greeting:"Commander Chu, what are you talking about? It is my honor that you can come to see me."

Although Xu Han had never thought of relying on Chu Heng, he did not want to offend him.

The other party was now a popular person around the King of Qi. Such a person, even a word from the other party, could make him fall into an irretrievable situation.

As Xu Han spoke, he greeted Chu Heng and sat down at the stone table in the courtyard.

When he first came, Chu Heng looked at Xu Han's residence.

It can be said that it was very shabby.

Two small houses and a small courtyard were all this residence had.

Chu Heng knew that with Xu Han's salary, even if he was a third-class guest official, he should be able to live better.

However, most of the money was spent on buying medicine for his mother.

"The house is simple and the care is not good. Please forgive me, Commander Chu."

Xu Han poured a bowl of boiled water for Chu Heng, and his expression was a little embarrassed.

In the past, when he was valued by the King of Qi, he was also glorious.

At that time, he even hired a slave to take care of his mother.

But his luck was bad, and after the tribute case, he fell into decline.

In the end, it was because of the lack of foundation. He continued to buy the medicinal materials needed for his mother's treatment, which emptied the remaining money in the family little by little. It was normal for a guest official like Xu Han.

Unlike Chu Heng, he was rewarded with a large amount of wealth by the King of Qi.

The King of Qi was so generous to Chu Heng, on the one hand, he valued Chu Heng. On the one hand, Chu Heng's talent was also the reason why Chu Heng"miraculously" became the son-in-law of the Duke of Zhenguo.

As Chu Heng's"family", the King of Qi naturally had to arrange a wedding gift for Chu Heng.

After all, Chu Heng was ordered by the King of Qi to marry the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo.

The identities were already unequal. If Chu Heng could not meet the financial resources to marry the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, he would only lose the face of the King of Qi.

Chu Heng sat on the stone bench, picked up the bowl of boiled water and took a sip, and then smiled and said,"It just so happens that I am a little thirsty. Brother Xu's bowl of water can solve my urgent needs."

Xu Han felt the kindness in the other party's words and felt relieved.

However, why do I always feel that the other party's words have a deeper meaning.

Immediately, Xu Han also asked the puzzlement in his heart:"I don't know why Commander Chu is looking for me?"

He believed that he had no intersection with Chu Heng.

Moreover, to be honest, Xu Han also knew that his"reputation" in the Qi Wang Mansion was not good.

As the saying goes,"what goes up means what goes down", he was disliked by the Qi Wang because of his poor work, so the people under the Qi Wang Mansion would naturally not treat him well.

"Brother Xu, to be honest, I came here this time in the hope that Brother Xu could lend me a helping hand." Chu Heng also got straight to the point,"Not long ago, the King of Qi valued me and asked me to establish an intelligence force."

"Brother Xu also knows that I have served the King of Qi for a short time and I don’t have any truly useful talents under my command."

"I heard that Brother Xu had a plan, so I came to Brother Xu as soon as possible and asked him to help me complete this matter."

Chu Heng's words surprised Xu Han.

He thought of many possibilities, but he never thought that this leader Chu, who had never met him before, came to his home to ask him to do something.

Xu Han's silent heart suddenly became like a calm lake, and a stone was thrown into it, causing a wave.

But soon, Xu Han calmed down again.

"Commander Chu, I am not very knowledgeable and will only cause trouble for you if I go there. Please find someone better."

Xu Han still chose to refuse.

He felt that Chu Heng had just entered the Prince Qi's Mansion and must not have investigated his affairs clearly.

He was a person disliked by the Prince Qi, and when the other party knew about this, he would definitely not use him.

Chu Heng was such a smart man, how could he not see Xu Han's thoughts.

Therefore, Chu Heng smiled faintly:"Brother Xu, don't worry, I have actually investigated your affairs"

"I have also learned about the tribute case, and there are many strange things in it."

Seeing Xu Han's astonishment, Chu Heng smiled calmly:"The perpetrator is very skilled, and the hidden power must be very large. It is understandable that Brother Xu would be caught here."

"Brother Xu's talent should not be buried here. You might as well give yourself another chance."

It was noon, and the sun was shining brightly. Xu Han looked at this confident young man. For some reason, a flash of confusion passed through his eyes.

What was that?

Was it light?
