"Master!" Xu Enzhi stepped forward and bowed deeply.

Fa Kong rolled his sleeves.

Xu Enzhi bowed slightly and could no longer go down, so he could only raise his body: "Thank you, Master."

Seeing that he was excited and his eyes were slightly red, Fakong pointed to the stone table next to him and said with a smile: "Sit down and talk."

After Xu Enzhi sat down, he controlled his emotions and said with emotion: "This trip to the Tianlao can be said to be very rewarding."

"What's the catch?"

"Well, I have a better understanding of people's hearts," Xu Eunzhi sighed, "and I am even more tired of officialdom."

Fakong raised his eyebrows.

Xu Enzhi smiled bitterly: "I originally thought of becoming an official to protect my family and live a stable life in this world, but now I know that the dangers of the official world are not inferior to those of the martial arts, and are even more dangerous."

Fa Kong smiled and nodded.

In fact, the world of officialdom and martial arts are equally dangerous, and you feel you can't help yourself when you are in them.

If a person sits at home, disaster will come from heaven.

What happened to Seo Eun-ji this time is the best portrayal of it.

He did nothing, and was thrown into a prison just because he and Weng Jingyuan were masters and disciples.

This can be described as an unnecessary disaster.

Fortunately this time, I trusted King Xin to take care of me secretly, otherwise, I would have suffered even more.

And fortunately, this time the implication and entanglement were stopped by the emperor in time, otherwise, it would be impossible to escape without trusting the king's relationship.

If it weren't for King Xin's relationship, if he hadn't been lucky enough to stop the implicated situation this time, he would have died without a burial place.

But he did nothing.

This is the danger of officialdom.

If you want to survive, in addition to superb skills, you also need a certain amount of luck. If you are not lucky, sometimes a small accident can ruin your future or even your life.

Fakong smiled and said: "Master Xu is tired of officialdom, do you want to resign?"

Mrs. Xu took the tea cup that Lin Feiyang brought over, brought it to Fakong herself, then to Xu Enzhi, and sat quietly aside.

Xu Enzhi shook his head and sighed: "At this point, it is impossible to resign. I can only do it reluctantly. Fortunately, I have been demoted to Mingzhou, so I should be able to relax for a while."

He was relegated to the position of pushing official in Mingzhou, from the sixth rank.

Although the taste is similar to before, it is actually a huge difference.

He was originally a capital official, but now he is a local official.

It is extremely difficult for local officials to rise to the capital.

"It's good to have some leisure time for a while." Fa Kong said with a smile, "It's best to have a rest and wait until the situation in the court is settled."

"Exactly." Xu Enzhi nodded slowly.

He originally didn't expect to be promoted to a high position. After all, those who could get high positions were all ministers from the Dragon.

If he does not touch both sides and remains neutral, it means that the new emperor will not reuse him after he succeeds to the throne.

But compared to risking a chance to get rich, it is safer to stay away from both, at least it is not that dangerous.

"When will you leave Beijing?"

"I'll leave tomorrow." Xu En knew: "The time limit for leaving Beijing is too short, so there is nothing we can do about it."

He smiled bitterly.

Apparently someone was trying to interfere with this, deliberately pushing the departure time to a very early stage, as he was about to leave Shenjing just after leaving the prison.

In such a hurry, he must have been in great embarrassment.

I haven't heard from my mentor yet, I haven't said goodbye to my colleagues, I haven't tidied up my home, or rented out the house, or asked someone to take care of it.

It was too late to do anything.

The methods these people use to disgust themselves are truly sinister.

Fakong nodded: "That's fine. Leave early and have peace of mind. Leave your residence to Lin Feiyang. He also has a house here, so I can take care of it by the way."

Xu Enzhi smiled: "Thank you, Master."

Fakong waved his jade hand to indicate not to say thank you. He was too intrusive and said with a smile: "Qingluo, don't worry too much about her homework. I will go over and teach her in time."

"...Okay." Xu Enzhi was about to say thank you, but stopped immediately.

He was extremely grateful.

In the early morning, the mist is like a veil.

Xu Enzhi's family of five got on a carriage and left Shenjing.

During the official ceremony, no one saw him off, and the whole family left alone.

The back curtain of the carriage was opened, and Xu Enzhi was sitting in the hood, watching the south city gate getting further and further away, and the two long queues outside the city also getting further and further away.

His expression was calm, but his eyes were burning.

Mrs. Xu gently took his arm and said softly: "Master, don't be sad, we will come back."

"Are the father-in-law and mother-in-law sad?" Xu Enzhi smiled: "They must have scolded me, right?"

Mrs. Xu pursed her lips and smiled and said: "They say that ups and downs in the officialdom are nothing. It's ordinary things, so don't worry too much about gains and losses. You will come back sooner or later."

Xu Eunzhi nodded lightly: "I will indeed come back, but I will stay away from my father-in-law and mother-in-law for the time being."

"Mingzhou is not far from Shenjing. If my parents want to come over, they can get there in two days. It's nothing."

"They are old and should not stay far away. You should come back to visit them from time to time."

"Yes." Mrs. Xu responded, nestled against his shoulder, and quietly looked at the south city gate that was gradually receding.

She grew up in Shenjing and was born and raised here, but she still feels familiar and unfamiliar to Shenjing.

It seems that there is no end to exploring Shenjing, there are always new things that are unpredictable.

Now I have to leave like this, not knowing when I will come back, and I have to leave my parents. The melancholy and discomfort in my heart are really beyond words.

But he didn't want to show it, so he could only look at the south gate quietly.

Xu Qingluo had been sitting quietly on the carriage with her eyes closed, cross-legged, and now she opened her eyes: "Dad, if Master just says a word, you can come back."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Xu Enzhi frowned and said, "How can we trouble Master Fakong with this matter? We have already troubled him so much."

"We are all one family, why bother seeing outsiders?" Xu Qingluo said.

"Qingluo, people shouldn't be too greedy!" Xu Enzhi snorted: "Now we are just asking for it. We can't help the master in anything. How can we cause him any more trouble!"

Xu Qingluo nodded.

She was very dissatisfied in her heart. She couldn't help her master now. In the future, she would just be filial to her master after she mastered martial arts.

What's more, this matter is not a big deal to the master. Just mention it and I believe the prince can handle it.

My father never wanted to join any party to avoid being involuntarily involved in party strife.

This is too naive, how can factional strife be avoided!

If you don't join a party, you won't be able to borrow any power. All seats are reserved for people from the faction. If you are not a faction, you will be excluded.

This time is just the beginning.

If my father hasn't found a faction to join, I'm afraid the next step will be to continue to be relegated, getting further and further away from Shenjing.

Of course, this cannot be said now, otherwise the father will be angry and say that his child does not understand anything.

Of course he didn't know that he knew far more than he thought.

Half of these I got from reading books myself, and half from listening to what Master said in casual chats and adding my own thinking.

She knew better that it was useless to say this now.

Mrs. Xu nodded lightly: "Qingluo, don't make excessive demands from the master."

"Mom, of course I know." Xu Qingluo smiled.

Mrs. Xu smiled: "Qingluo, you are a blessed person."

Being able to become a disciple of Master Fakong is Qingluo's greatest blessing. She saves her life and has a strong enough background.

This is also the reason why she is determined.

If my official fortune is not good, Qingluo will still be there.

The carriage moved slowly along the official road.

The official road is smooth and wide, and the carriage does not bump on it.

Xu Qingluo's two younger brothers were fast asleep, while she closed her eyes and practiced the exercises, hoping to take the next step in transforming reality into reality and enter a state of unquestioning belief.

This requires the accumulation of time. A little more time will make you more convinced, and there is no need to take tricks.
