Chapter 112 The Four Factions
Seeing that she was almost home, Chen Shou naturally thought of Qiuguo and felt that she had to tell Qiuguo what happened today. This girl might be able to analyze it for him. But the problem is that Qiuguo is not really his military advisor. She only helps him by chance. Most of the time, she still does her duty as a "supervisor". The relationship between the two is indeed closer, but it only takes the meal at the same table. The bowls and plates are still separated, and each eats their own...
I have to think of a trick!
In the blink of an eye, Chen Shou had a plan. Before he could implement it, he couldn't help laughing out loud and cursing himself as bad as he was.
Finally arrived at the door of the house, Chen Shou immediately knocked on the door and listened to Qiu Guo walking towards the door with his own ears.
"Mr. Chen, you are back."
"Yeah, autumn fruit."
Chen Shou responded and then walked into the yard, but his face was bitter, and he bent down and pressed his left hand against the base of his left thigh, limping.
On weekdays, Chen Shou couldn't tell whether Qiu Guo's sympathy was strong or weak. Anyway, there should be no problem with this girl killing chickens and fish, otherwise he wouldn't have such a good meal. At this moment, Chen Shou only hoped that Qiu Guo would not be indifferent, so that he could quickly pour out his doubts.
Sure enough, after only two steps, Qiu Guo, who had just completed the courtyard gate, asked in surprise: "Mr. Chen, what's wrong with your legs?"
"You don't know, today the two boys Yuan Hu Kun and Geshuqi finally attacked me. I and they both fought openly. Although they won, they were also a little injured."
"Are you seriously injured?" Qiuguo said anxiously.
At this time, Chen Shou had already stopped and turned to look at Qiuguo. He saw the girl frowned and looked at his "injured" with concern. Her expression was not at all fake.
It turns out that Qiuguo already cared about me so much. I really don’t know if I pretended to be injured. Chen Shou thought so in his heart, and couldn’t help feeling very warm, and he was ashamed of his behavior again.
"It's nothing serious. I've just been smashed and I guess I'll be able to keep it for one day." Chen Shou waved his hand and said.
"Yeah." Qiuguo was not too concerned about her. She kept a distance from Chen Shou on weekdays. When she learned that Chen Shou's injury was not serious, she tended to return to her original state.
But Chen Shou would not miss this opportunity and immediately said, "By the way, Qiuguo, I encountered something today. Can you help me analyze it?"
Now Chen Shou is a wounded person, Qiu Guo has already felt sympathy for him, so she would not refuse. She said, "I will help Lord Chen into the house first, and then talk slowly."
"Did you agree to that?" Chen Shou said with a smile.
"Um."
Qiuguo helped Chen Shou into the main hall. She was still worried about Chen Shou's injuries, but Chen Shou was enjoying the feeling of her arm being grabbed by her little hand through the clothes...
Finally sat down in the main hall, Chen Shou immediately briefly described the battle with Yuan Hu Kun and Geshuqi today, and finally focused on the conversation with Xue Fushi.
Qiuguo also realized that Chen Shou was not very good at analyzing these complex interpersonal relationships and various "code words" when communicating up and down, and for some reasons, she just happened to see these things thoroughly, so when Chen Shou asked her for help, she had to take the initiative. After thinking about it carefully for a while, Qiuguo said: "Mr. Chen, I think there are only two possibilities."
"Oh? Say it."
"The first possibility is that Xue Fushi is indeed out of love for talent. He thinks that placing you elsewhere will bury your talents, so he has to introduce you to the structural system that Yin Fucheng is responsible for."
"What about the two?"
"The second possibility is that he is trying to win over you. Lord Chen also said that the Xue Mansion Shi had no special care for Lord Chen and did not make friends deliberately. But this time, after Lord Chen showed his strong strength in Fu Dao, he immediately took the initiative to talk to Lord Chen, and naturally he was attracted by Lord Chen's ability. As far as I know, although this mansion is very united outside, he is harmonious on the surface, but in fact the faction is complicated inside, and the struggle is endless."
Chen Shou was startled and glared: "I only heard of this, but why do you seem to be very clear?"
Ru Zhiqiuguo smiled bitterly, shook her head and said, "I actually don't want to know these at all..."
It actually touched Qiuguo’s sad things?!
The two of them have been living under the same roof for half a year. Chen Shou naturally felt sorry for Qiuguo, but he knew very well that if Qiuguo was unwilling to say it, he would not be able to ask anything, so he quickly pulled the topic back: "You mean, Xue Fushi asked me to fight with the faction?"
"It is possible. The Xuandu Zifu has four constellations, namely Qinglong, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Xuanwu. Now, Lord Chen has just arrived in this mansion for half a year and has not officially taken over his post. So he rarely deals with the other three constellations. These four constellations are actually the inherent faction of Xuandu Zifu. No matter which city in the prehistoric world, it is the same. This inherent faction originating from the Heavenly Court is relatively united. And our Demon Dragon City Xuandu Zifu, the faction that has a greater difference is actually the faction under the command of the four principals."
"I heard about it. Yin Fucheng, Cheng Fucheng, Zhu Fucheng and Mu Fucheng." Chen Shou has not been in vain for the past six months, at least the names of these four Fuchengs still know.
"The family forces of these four prefecture ministers are already deeply rooted in this city, and their official positions are almost hereditary. Now, except for a very small number of neutral factions in our mansion, the rest will be divided into the four prefecture ministers. If it is really the second possibility, then Xue's mansion should be among the Yin Prefecture ministers. Seeing that Lord Chen is strong, he will win you over in advance to strengthen their strength. This kind of competition for newcomers should be quite common in our mansion."
"According to what you said, if I don't follow Xue Fushi's arrangements, I have to invest in the other three factions, and I will become ignorant of the praises and will be hated by him?"
Qiu Guo glanced at Chen Shou and replied honestly: "That's the case."
"Then I have to inquire and see if Xue Fushi is from the Yin Fucheng faction." Chen Shou said solemnly.
Qiuguo said, "Since Lord Chen has the ambition to study talismans, why not follow the trend and simply join the Yinfucheng faction? In this way, Xuefushi also inherited the love of Lord Chen, and will naturally regard Lord Chen as his confidant in the future and give more suggestions."
"That's true, but first of all, I don't like to let others arrange my future for me, and secondly, I actually have a place I like."
"So that's it." Qiuguo responded so, but did not ask much, but continued to perform her duties as a "military advisor". "I think what Lord Chen likes must be one of the other three ministers. No matter which one, Lord Chen would better show his talents as he is today, and let them take the initiative to offer conditions to win you over. In this way, they will not look down on Lord Chen, and Xue Fushi will not make things too difficult for you."
"Yes." Chen Shou replied solemnly.
At this point, Qiuguo said again: "If nothing happens, I will prepare supper."
"Okay, let's go together." Chen Shou said with a smile.
For Chen Shou, this is really the first time in his two lives that he lived with a woman of the same age who is so considerate, beautiful and lovable. His identity is obviously far higher than Qiuguo. At the same time, the prehistoric world does not have so many moral and rules restrictions on marriage between men and women, so he still enjoys his current life and has no psychological burden!
What he didn't know was that Qiuguo actually liked his current life more than him, but Qiuguo had a considerable psychological burden.
In a blink of an eye, three days passed, and the agreed period between Xue Fushi and Chen Shou.
When he walked over there, Chen Shou was both excited and uneasy. What was excited was that he could see the two defeated men and get the bet he won, but what was uneasy was that if Xue Fushi asked the question that day again, he didn't know how to answer it.
