Need for a Guard

"Why don't I dare? Who doesn't know that I am the biggest gangster in the world? Is it meat that can't be chopped off without cutting it? How can I be afraid of you, baldy Xiao?"

The old hooligan Bai was full of anger, strode forward, rolled up his sleeves, and rushed towards Xiao Yan.

This moment really frightened Xiao Yan.

He dodged and shivered and said: "Smelly rascal, are you being reasonable? You can't even slap a slap, why are you only targeting me? It was he, Kang Shanzhen, who troubled me first, I...I call it self-defense! "

"Self-defense shit!"

Bai Mochou pointed at Xiao Yan's nose, and spat: "From now on, if you dare to mess around again, be careful that I will slap you..."

Shhh!

All the civil and military men in the court were frightened by Bai Mochou: This old rascal is very murderous today, so please don't mess with him!

Moreover, one could faintly feel that the old bastard Bai Mochou didn't let go of his mouth when he caught Xiao Yan, but he didn't complain about Kang Shanzhen - it seemed that Bai Mochou and Kang Shanzhen really had some friendship in private.

After Bai Mochou lost his temper, he said to the little emperor Yan Jing: "The most urgent task is to select a candidate who has both ability and integrity, and is loyal and brave. To serve as the admiral of the nine sects is the worst. Famous generals, as the counselor of the Nine Gates, to prevent the Nine Gates City Guard from falling apart."

The little emperor Yanjing waved his hands impatiently and said, "Oh? Bai Yushi's words are right, then... let's choose, but how should we choose? Hehe...how about casting lots? Or fighting crickets? Who wins, who wins? Dear friends, do you agree? Or do you agree? Or do you agree?"

"I agree with the fart!"

Bai Mochou scolded in unison. ,

This lifetime of drinking has made all the officials terrified, and Yan Jing has been silent as well.

"Of course this general must be selected by the ministers!" Bai Mochou gave Kang Shanzhen a meaningful look, and then said loudly: "Your Majesty, colleagues, I propose that the black-clothed general who is fighting far away in Muping Wei Qianhu, Nan Batian, is extremely intelligent, and bravely crowned the three armies, it is the most appropriate for Nan Batian to be the admiral of the nine sects, what do you guys think?"

All the ministers looked at each other, but no one dared to answer directly.

However, although Kang Shanzhen had a straight face, he was deeply grateful to Bai Mochou in his heart.

After all, Nan Batian is his godson, and everyone knows that if he personally selects his godson, it will definitely attract criticism. After all, Kang Shanzhen still cherishes his pure feathers.

Bai Mochou could think of his embarrassment and urgency, so it could be called his kindness in a timely manner.

Seeing Xiao Yan winking at him, Zeng Shan hurriedly came out and said, "The Emperor Qizuo, formerly a hundred household guards in black, is now the deputy secretary of the Ministry of War——Cheng Ye, with a complete resume, having led soldiers, and read books. He has served as a civil servant, and is young and promising, whether it is qualifications or ability, he is the top candidate for the nine admirals."

"Shangshu Zeng's words are wrong!"

When Kang Shanzhen heard that this bastard Zeng Shan actually chose Xiao Yan's son-in-law, Cheng Ye, to compete with his godson, he couldn't help being furious, and said angrily, "What kind of thing is Cheng Ye? You can't succeed in literature or in martial arts. What virtue and ability do you have to dare to take over the post of admiral of the Nine Sects?"

Of course Xiao Yan refused, scratching his shiny bald head, he said unconvinced: "Your godson Nan Batian is not very glorious. , doing all kinds of evil, even this time Mu Ping suppressed the bandits, exhausted manpower, financial resources, and material resources, but there was no achievement! Wouldn’t it be laughed out of his teeth by others? Such a person with no virtue and incompetence and five talents, An Neng is in charge of the Jiumen City Guard ?”

……

Kang Shanzhen and Xiao Yan argued for a long time...

"Shut me all up!"

Bai Mochou yelled angrily, and when Kang Shanzhen and Xiao Yan settled down, Bai Mochou said: "Electing the nine admirals, you should be cautious. This censor suggests that all courtiers compete to nominate candidates, and civil servants and military generals are also welcome to recommend themselves."

"How about this, I'll give you three days to wait for the list to be selected. According to the people on the list, I, Mr. Kang, and Prime Minister Xiao are in Huitong Emperor, and it will not be too late to choose slowly."

All have no objections.

Although Bai Mochou's words were high-sounding, but after waiting for three days, except Nan Batian and Cheng Ye, who were expected to be selected, none of them were recommended, and no one recommended themselves.

The reason is very simple, the courtiers in Kang Shanzhen's camp, of course, follow Kang Shanzhen's lead, and will definitely not elect others, and it will be bad luck for Kang Shanzhen.

Xiao Yan's camp is also in this situation.

Then there are the courtiers in Bai Mochou's camp. They are headed by the old rascal Bai, so they naturally follow the old rascal's eyes and act.

The old hooligan was unknown, and he did not elect anyone to power, so naturally no one dared to object.

The rest of the courtiers are all the shrimp soldiers and crab generals who are outside these three powerful circles. They are weak and timid, and they dare not stand for the election, nor do they want to take this muddy water.

In addition to these reasons, there is a layer of magic that haunts everyone's eyes and makes people daunting.

That is: Jiumen Chengwei has been very uneasy recently.

The three leaders Xie Ding, Zuo Mo, and Hong Shan were killed one after another, and they were all gone without a trace, which cast an indelible shadow on the Jiumen City Guard.

These three people are all guys with high martial arts skills and unparalleled wit, and their backstage is very tough.

But even so, these three people were easily killed by the assassins. The situation is so serious, who can guarantee that they will not be attacked and killed by the assassins after they come to power by chance?

Although the admirals and counselors of the Nine Gates look beautiful and extremely prominent, they are afraid that they will be elected, but they will not enjoy the blessings.

In the final analysis, these two positions are for those who are not afraid of death - those who are afraid of death can only go out and turn left.

Three days later, I will be promoted to the court again!

When the little emperor Yanjing held the selection list with only two names, Nan Batian and Cheng Ye, he couldn't help being dumbfounded.

"This... This is the list you have dragged on for three days and worked so hard to select? At this level, it is not as good as the one I drew lots. It is convenient and full of fun."

Kang Shanzhen held back his anger with a straight face, and said word by word: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about it, just appoint Nan Batian as the admiral of the Nine Sects."

"Master Kang, how can you make the decision instead of the emperor?"

Although Xiao Yan was apprehensive, he still stepped forward stiffly: "Nan Batian burned, killed and looted, a reckless man, not enough for the job, please ask the emperor to appoint Cheng Ye."

Kang Shanzhen was furious and couldn't stand Xiao Yan's contradicting anymore.

With a gloomy face, he stared straight at Xiao Yan, paused every word, and said coldly: "Xiao Yan, are you... forcing me?"

In an instant, the hall was filled with a gloomy atmosphere.

Xiao Yan couldn't help but turn pale when he heard this - he knew that Kang Shanzhen's patience had been exhausted, and next, he might use force to confront him head-on.

Just when he was hesitating, he heard an urgent call from outside the Tiande Hall: "Mu Ping hurry up for two hundred miles! Mu Ping hurry up for two hundred miles..."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan's pale cheeks instantly turned red, and the joy in his brows flashed away, and he hurriedly shouted: "Why don't you play it quickly?"
