Need for a Guard

Yan Jing looked at the sweat on the post soldier's forehead, even though it was far away, she could still hear the post soldier's breathing, feeling extremely disturbed.

However, at this time, he shouldn't be too enthusiastic about state affairs!

Kang Shanzhen looked at the postman kneeling in front of him with anger on his face, and said gloomyly, "Why are you panicking? What happened?"

The post soldier grinned and said in a mournful voice: "Nan Qianhu fought to the death with the Plum Blossom Sect, but was attacked by the Plum Blossom Sect, and fell short. More than 2000 black-clothed guards died, and the whole army collapsed. Shou, pray for the imperial court to send troops to help."

One stone caused a thousand waves!

The courtiers suddenly panicked!

"What? Nan Batian lost? Nothing... useless things!"

Kang Shan's heart was like a boulder pressing down on him, it was so heavy that he couldn't breathe, and he completely lost the arrogance and coldness just now.

You know, in order to let Nan Batian make contributions, Kang Shanzhen allocated another 2000 people to him on the premise of 2000 people in one household.

After careful calculation, although his designation is a Thousand Households Office, there are 4000 people.

But these 4000 people actually lost the battle.

This... this is simply unreasonable.

Seeing Kang Shanzhen's distorted and perverted face, Xiao Yan showed a smug smile, and teased: "Master Kang, this is so strange, didn't you just praise your godson for being fierce, invincible, wise and brave? Lost the battle?"

"I've heard that Nan Batian boasted about himself, claiming that he has many soldiers and generals, his military appearance is clean, and he kills the enemy like a torrential rain, but why did he lose the battle? Didn't the military salaries and money allocated by the imperial court all go to waste? Floating?"

These words were like a knife, and Kang Shanzhen's cheeks were slapped in public. He wanted to object, but he had no basis to refute.

As for promoting Nan Batian to the position of Admiral of the Nine Gates again, he would not say such shameless words no matter what.

In terms of emotion and reason, Xiao Yan had the absolute upper hand.

Xiao Yan sneered, and said triumphantly to Yan Jing: "Your Majesty, I invite Cheng Ye to be promoted to the position of Admiral of the Nine Gates. If I want to come to Lord Kang, I will never object again."

Turning around, he said again: "Master Kang, do you still have any objections?"

The little emperor Yan Jing had a worried look on his face, and he didn't expect that there would be troubles, so he couldn't help but wink at Bai Mochou.

Bai Mochou understood, and sternly shouted at Xiao Yan: "Xiao Tuzi, the soldiers of the imperial court were trapped in the Plum Blossom Sect. When the officials heard the news, they were very sad and indignant. Why did you, the leader of the officials, speak out heartlessly? Laughing? Could it be that the court’s defeat and the Plum Blossom Sect’s victory is something that makes you feel at ease? Are you a fucking prime minister of Dayan or a spy of the Plum Blossom Sect.”

"Bai... Bai old rascal, how can you label yourself indiscriminately? You...you are the spy!"

Xiao Yan just realized at this moment that he was getting carried away with complacency just now, and hastily put on a sad and lonely expression.

But I thought in my heart: Bai Mochou, this old man, is really against me everywhere.

Bai Mochou winked at Kang Shanzhen who was obsessed with silence, coughed lightly, and said slowly: "Now the Mu Ping war is in a state of turmoil, with unexpected changes, all courtiers should focus on the Mu Ping battle and discuss how to fight back." Plum Blossom Sect, restore peace to the common people! Lord Kang has a heavy burden on his shoulders, and he has to discuss with the generals how to kill and retreat the enemy soldiers. Let’s put aside the matter of the nine admirals.”

"How did that happen?"

Xiao Yan was furious, and said aggressively: "The Nine Gates City Guard is the first line of defense in the city of Kyoto, the bridgehead to protect the emperor, how important is the stability and unity of the Nine Gates City Guard? How can the nine city guards resist when all the people are desperate to kill them in the capital?"

As soon as these words came out, Bai Mochou was speechless, she rolled her eyes in anger, and cursed secretly in her heart: Paralyzed, this baldy Xiao is so sharp at critical moments, I underestimated him in the past.

Xiao Yan's momentum was like a rainbow, and he continued to argue: "At such a critical moment, there should be someone who is brave enough to guard the first city gate for Dayan. Cheng Ye is capable of writing and martial arts, and he should take on this important task without hesitation. Please, Your Majesty. Yupi handpicked Cheng Ye as the admiral of the Nine Gates."

While making a generous statement, he knelt down and forced Yanjing to express his opinion.

"Please appoint the emperor!" Zeng Shan fanned the flames and knelt down to force the palace.

"The emperor please appoint..."

"The emperor please appoint..."

……

The courtiers headed by Xiao Yan saw that the momentum was going well, so they went all out to force the emperor and Kang Shanzhen to submit.

Seeing Xiao Yan knelt there, showing a face that he was holding the winning ticket, Yan Jing was furious, but there was nothing he could do, it was really a headache.

Kang Shanzhen looked at the smug Xiao Yan with a sullen face, smiled slightly, then knelt down, kowtowed to the emperor, and said, "My Majesty, what Prime Minister Xiao said is right. At such a critical moment, a suitable candidate should be selected immediately." , in charge of the nine city guards..."

Xiao Yan was overjoyed, thinking that Kang Shanzhen had given in to him.

But when Kang Shanzhen changed the subject, he said with great enthusiasm: "But Cheng Ye's qualifications and prestige are still low, neither of which is enough to be an admiral of the nine sects. If I recommend one person, regardless of qualifications, prestige, experience, and reputation, he is far above Cheng Ye. .”

When Xiao Yan heard this, his face suddenly changed, he squinted his eyes, and asked, "Who?"

Yan Jing stood up nervously, walked down the high platform, stood in front of Kang Shanzhen, and said word by word: "Who? Who is it?"

Kang Shanzhen glanced at the flustered Bai Mochou, and took a deep breath: "I chose Lan Jian as the admiral of the Nine Sects."

"Lan Jian used to be General Ma Si of the Five Cities Army, and has rich experience in leading troops. He is currently the Military Supplies Counselor of the Military Council. but."

blue sword?

The ministers are in a commotion!

Xiao Yan was taken aback, and just about to refute, he suddenly realized that Cheng Ye really had no chance of winning in front of Lan Jian.

"Master Kang, you..."

Bai Mochou looked at Kang Shanzhen's helpless eyes, and wondered why he gave up the pie to others?

After thinking about it for a while, he repeatedly declined: "Hey, Mr. Kang doesn't know something. Lan Jian has no intention of holding the position of admiral of the Nine Sects, so..."

"Bai Yushi's words are wrong!"

Kang Shanzhen retorted: "This is Dayan's critical moment, how can we refuse?"

"To be a general, one should have a whole body of righteousness, an iron-blooded heart to serve Dayan, an indomitable sharp and hostile spirit, and a blue sword that is extremely brave. There is absolutely no reason to refuse to be loyal to Dayan."

Seeing Kang Shanzhen's words are decisive, Bai Mochou has no doubts anymore, and hastily knelt down to Yanjing, and said word by word: "Master Kang's words are every word, and I agree with you!"

Seeing this, Bai Mochou and other officials hurriedly fell to their knees.

"My minister agrees!"

"My minister agrees!"

……

Kang Shanzhen's group also hurriedly knelt down, raising their voices.

"My minister agrees!"

"Chen Secondary"

……

At this time, almost all the officials of the Manchu Dynasty knelt down in front of Yan Jing, and the total number of direct descendants of Bai Mochou and Kang Shanzhen was far more than that of Xiao Yan.

At this time, the two bosses had an absolute advantage, and they silenced Xiao Yan's lineage!

Yan Jing's body and mind were agitated, and she deliberately walked in front of Xiao Yan, looked at Xiao Yan's eyes that were still ferocious even though he was kneeling, with a sullen face, and said in a high voice: "I hand-picked Lan Jian as the admiral of the Nine Gates, in charge of the Nine Gates City Guards , Immediately go to office, keep the enemy out, defend the family and the country."

"Your majesty is wise!" Kang Shanzhen and Xiao Yan led the group of ministers to shout Long live, and smiled at each other, remembering the scene where they fought side by side many years ago, with a sense of sympathy for each other.

Listening to the deafening mountain call, Xiao Yan's face turned pale, his teeth creaked, and he almost fainted.
