Need for a Guard

In the hall, only Tian Fen and Shi Yue were left!

With a sullen face, Tian Fen looked at Shi Yue with a puzzled look in his eyes. Suddenly, he chuckled lightly and sighed, "Shi Yue, you have brought me into great trouble!"

"Where does the disaster come from?" Shi Yue pretended to be puzzled.

"I don't believe that with your wisdom, you can't clearly see the stakes!"

Tian Fen didn't put on airs either, he casually asked Shi Yue to sit down, and said with confidence: "We are our own people, and I won't lie to you! Although Liu Wencai is a sinister and sour scholar, he is the one Mr. Kang deliberately wooed. I look forward to taking this opportunity to gain the support of literati.”

"The Beicheng Gang and Liu Wencai are inextricably linked. Therefore, although I am in charge of the security in the north of the city, I maintain a delicate balance with the Beicheng Gang! Now, this balance has been broken by you. Mr. Kang doesn't know what will happen. Trouble me!"

Shi Yueruo said meaningfully: "General Tian, ​​don't you hear of misfortune, where good fortune depends?"

"I fell out with the Beicheng Gang today, but I made a decisive and deliberate arrangement. It's just that I didn't discuss it with General Tian, ​​which made General Tian difficult."

Tian Fen was startled, no matter what, he couldn't figure out what benefit he got from this matter?Then he asked: "I want to hear it, what surprise do you want to bring me?"

Shi Yue stared into Tian Fen's shining eyes, and said with a smile: "General, after the assassination in Beicheng, you are famous, powerful in the government and the public, and highly appreciated by Mr. Kang."

"However, since Shi San is your confidant, he risked his life to say something unwilling. Does the general want to live under Lord Kang's wings forever? Didn't he ever think of sharing the emperor's worries like Lord Kang? Yan is worried?"

This sentence pierced into Tian Fen's heart like a sharp sword!

His ambition is of course great, "Monk Daoyue" can see his long-hidden ambition at a glance, and Tian Fen is also full of yearning for the huge power that Kang Shanzhen enjoys.

It's just that I am in a state of confusion, and I don't know when I will be able to spread my wings and soar into the night sky.

Tian Fen squinted his eyes, looking at Shi Yue's persevering face, and those clear eyes that shone with light.

Although Shi Yue said it very cryptically, he understood the meaning of Shi Yue's words. Do smart people need to speak so bluntly?

"Why did Shi Yue say that? Tian doesn't understand!" Tian Fen wanted to test whether Shi Yue was lying to him.

Shi Yue made an appearance of confiding in his heart, and said solemnly: "If General Tian has greater ambitions, he must seize this hard-won opportunity."

"Where's the opportunity?" Tian Fen didn't know why, but as soon as he said this, he exposed his sinister nature like Kang Shanzhen.

Shi Yue sneered in his heart, but he said persuasively: "Master Kang promised the general to be a marquis, but the emperor did not agree immediately."

"But on the second day, the emperor not only made the general a marquis, but also rewarded the general with gold and silver, gave the general a mansion, and allowed the general to parade through the streets on horseback, showing his true qualities as a man. General, don't you think everything the emperor has done is too enthusiastic? "

Overly enthusiastic?

Tian Fen figured out what Shi Yue was thinking in a split second. Thinking about it this way, everything the emperor did had some ulterior motives.

Seeing Tian Fen sinking into deep thought, Shi Yue waited for a while with a dignified face, and then said persuasively: "Yi Shi San boldly guessed that the emperor must have found your detailed information, general, such as your identity and official position, since you joined the army. I have participated in life-and-death battles, and I have made such a decision after knowing what merits I have achieved, deeply analyzing, and then after careful consideration..."

Seeing Tian Fen in a daze, Shi Yueshen said mysteriously: "General Tian, ​​do you know what this means?"

"What does it mean?" Tian Fen's head became a little dull, completely following Shi Yue's train of thought.

Shi Yue's face was dignified, and he paused every word: "It means that the emperor has chosen you from countless high officials in the court! I want to give you some of Mr. Kang's rights. I hope you can guard the capital together with Mr. Kang!"

"However, I'm not sure what General Tian has in mind, so I want to take this opportunity to test the general and see if the general understands the deep meaning."

what?

I see?

Tian Fen had never thought of things so profoundly!

He felt that his glory was only due to the glory of Kang Shanzhen. If there were no extremely special coincidence or resistance, no matter how high he rose in this life, he would still be inferior to Kang Shanzhen.

However, after being analyzed by Shi Yue, Tian Fen faintly felt that the emperor had thrown an olive branch at him in a subtle way...

For a moment, Tian Fen was dizzy, as if he was stunned by the sudden happiness, and he didn't know how to calm down.

Shi Yue said aggressively again: "Of course, if General Tian is content with the status quo, he can turn a blind eye to the emperor's temptation..."

"No! Never!"

Impulsively, Tian Fen yelled, and suddenly felt that he had lost his composure. He rounded his blood red eyes, stared at Shi Yue in a daze, and said decisively, "What are you thinking?"

Shi Yue squinted his eyes and pretended to be excited, "I was afraid that the general would not dare to take a solid step, so I took a small step instead of the general. Now hearing the general's voice, Shi San is inexplicably happy!"

Tian Fen could get such a courageous and resourceful confidant as Shi Yue, and could analyze the hidden pros and cons for him, so he couldn't help but give Shi Yue a higher look.

He sighed heavily, and asked, "What do I need to do?"

Shi Yue said: "Compared with Mr. Kang, what is the general lacking?"

Tian Fen clenched his fists and said with a smile, "It's prestige."

"The general is absolutely right!"

Yue gave a deep smile: "This is also the real reason why Mr. Tian didn't entrust the task of sweeping the Plum Blossom Sect to the general, but to his godson Nan Batian."

"Because, once the general leads a team independently and wins a battle, it will be a great military achievement. Your prestige will increase rapidly in a short period of time, and all the glory will be added to you in a short time. .”

"If you were a little tougher, you would most likely have shared Master Kang's prestige among the black guards. At least in the general's 2000-strong team, you are their real master. The feelings of fighting on the battlefield, so that their allegiance will be to you alone..."

When Tian Fen heard this, he frowned tightly and clenched his fists.

I thought to myself: Kang Shanzhen, he professed to be a marquis for himself and made himself feel grateful, but in his heart, after all, he was guarding against himself!

He waved his fist fiercely, and said angrily: "Shi Yue, what should I do then? Don't hide it from me. If you have anything to say, just say it."

Shi Yue smiled: "Of course I'm trying my best to improve my prestige. Since Mr. Kang won't give General Tian a chance, let's create it ourselves."

After a pause, he said with a strange smile: "And cleaning up the Beicheng Gang is the beginning of your prestige..."
