Need for a Guard

Xiao Yan looked at Kang Shanzhen and Bai Mochou who were kneeling together in dismay, with mixed emotions in his heart!

Just after the emperor was about to announce his resignation, before the officials left, Kang Shanzhen came to Xiao Yan with a sneer, stared into his eyes, and said word by word: "Prime Minister Xiao, since Cheng Ye is capable of both literature and martial arts, you can do it in front of Xiao Yan." Isn't it a little inferior to my little black-clothed guards to serve hundreds of households?"

"Master Kang...you mean..." Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows and had a very bad premonition.

"What I mean is, from today onwards, Cheng Ye is no longer a black-clothed guard. Your precious son-in-law, I, Kang, can't afford it."

After Kang Shanzhen finished speaking, he didn't care how ugly Xiao Yan's face was. He looked back and smiled and cupped his hands to Bai Mochou: "Bai Yushi, I don't have anything to do today, why don't you come and sit at my house? I have a good painting in my study. , I want Bai Yushi to taste it for me..."

"Okay! It's rare that Mr. Kang has such a good mood. Let's taste paintings and drink wine at the same time..."

Bai Mochou smiled until her eye creases bloomed, and unexpectedly walked out of the hall affectionately with Kang Shanzhen, who was always glaring and imagining.

Seeing this unimaginable scene, all the courtiers couldn't help but feel a little bit of fear in their hearts-the three-legged court situation is afraid that there will be a one-sided situation.

Xiao Yan returned to the mansion, depressed, and told everything that happened to his precious son-in-law, Cheng Ye, who was "unable to achieve success in writing or martial arts".

Xiao Yan knew that from today onwards, he and Kang Shanzhen had formed a situation of equal power!

And the root lies in Cheng Ye!

Cheng Ye is Xiao Yan's son-in-law, and he has another special identity, that is, a hundred households of guards in black!

However, since Xiao Yan was the prime minister, the fundamental reason why he let Cheng Ye follow Kang Shanzhen's footsteps and become a black-clothed guard with hundreds of households was that Cheng Ye was just a setter to balance the tense atmosphere between Xiao Yan and Kang Shanzhen.

In other words, Cheng Ye was just a proton that Xiao Yan sent to Kang Shanzhen!

This shows that he, Xiao Yan, showed Kang Shanzhen's face, and the two big bosses are friendly in terms of face, and they are united and loving.

However, Kang Shanzhen took the initiative to kick Cheng Ye out of the black guard, which meant that Kang Shanzhen was really angry and wanted to tear himself apart and start a showdown.

That is to say, he and Kang Shanzhen are going from a secret fight to an open fight!

Facing the sudden change, Xiao Yan felt a sense of crisis like sitting on pins and needles!What surprised him the most was that he had always been friendly with Kang Shanzhen, how could there be such a big rift in the court?

Xiao Yan squinted his eyes, and after thinking for a while, he realized that he had fallen into Bai Mochou's trap from the very beginning today.

This old man Bai Mochou is really not a fuel-efficient lamp!

This trick uses retreat as advance, practiced like a fire...

Cheng Ye had been staring at Xiao Yan's bald head all the time, when Xiao Yan opened his eyes and revealed a questioning look, Cheng Ye said: "Since we have fallen into Bai Mochou's tricks, we have no way out until now. The only way is to show strength and fight against Kang Shanzhen, as long as he can show the strength that makes Kang Shanzhen afraid, he will never dare to do it alone..."

Xiao Yan didn't expect Cheng Ye not to be terrified by this sudden change, this kind of concentration was beyond his reach.

He thought about it for a while, then slapped the table heavily, and shouted: "That's good! It's a done deal, what can I do! What can I do!"

"Now you send people to let Zeng Shan, Zuo Mo, Meng Chen, and those direct descendants come to Mingyue Tower for a drink, and let's discuss a big plan together."

Cheng Ye got up and went to give orders.

Xiao Yan said again: "Zuo Mo is a new official, in order to win over him, it is best to ask Li Xianyu to come out and have a few drinks with Zuo Mo..."

While Xiao Yan was drinking with the beauties in Mingyue Building with all his direct descendants, Kang Shanzhen and Bai Mochou were having a drink in his study.

Kang Shanzhen changed into easy-going casual clothes, and raised his glass to Bai Mochou: "Bai Yushi, we are in the court together. You and I may have disagreements in political views, but you are still someone I admire very much. Can you invite me today?" When you come to Kang Mansion, it will be a bit more beautiful than when thousands of people worshiped on my birthday."

"Haha... Lao Kang, Lao Kang, it really is a hero who sees the same thing!"

Bai Mochou raised his glass and drank until his cheeks became rosy. He stared straight at Kang Shanzhen and recalled: "Old Kang, me, and Baldy Xiao, the three of us are the elders of the three dynasties, but we each have our own strengths."

"Your old Kang made the enemy fearful because of his prowess in the army. I, Bai Mochou, frightened the court with his straightforward temperament and daring to speak out. But he, Baldy Xiao, took advantage of the magpie's nest with double-faced, despicable tricks. Therefore, in In my heart, the status of you and Xiao Tuzi is a matter of judgment."

"It's just...it's just that the situation has developed to this day, and the ambitions of you, Lao Kang and Xiao Yan, have gradually expanded, which has made the three of us feel like fire and water, and we have lost the bond of being a courtier."

Of course Kang Shanzhen knew what Bai Mochou meant by 'ambition'!

Only Bai Mochou is qualified to tell such heartfelt words to Kang Shanzhen. If it were anyone else, Kang Shanzhen would have already chopped off his head.

Kang Shanzhen squinted his eyes, and if he had a deep meaning, he said: "Thinking of the glorious years in the past, I still feel excited, but I didn't expect the change of the current situation to be so wonderful that I, Kang, would be brought to the forefront of the storm, ah... only Only by sitting on the cusp of the storm can we appreciate the difficulty of retreating bravely from the rapids."

Speaking of this, he changed the subject and asked Bai Mochou tentatively, "Bai Yushi is retreating bravely?"

"Old man Kang, why are you so heartless?"

Bai Mochou pointed at Kang Shanzhen's nose and scolded: "I even gave up the soldiers and horses of the five cities, so what qualifications do I have to compete with you?"

Kang Shanzhen laughed loudly: "Bai Yushi is upright, this...this is not your usual style!"

Bai Mochou sighed, put down the wine glass, and said sadly: "Old man Kang, maybe it's a coincidence arranged by heaven, think about it, you, me, Xiao Yan, which one has a son?"

When Kang Shanzhen heard the words, he shook his hands, and the wine in the glass swayed to his lap, and his eyes shone with complicated and unspeakable light.

Bai Mochou said again: "Xiao Yan and I each have a daughter, but you, Kang Shanzhen, only have a son with a strong personality..."

When Kang Shanzhen heard the words, he couldn't help but sighed heavily.

Bai Mochou said again: "Although he is a adopted son, your old man Kang finally has an heir. That old man Xiao Yan recruited Cheng Ye, a pensioner son-in-law, and plans to let Cheng Ye inherit the family business."

"But... I'm in love with someone! I don't want to recruit a son-in-law for the elderly, and it's impossible to recruit that son-in-law for the elderly, so I can only retire bravely?"

Bai Mochou spoke earnestly, with melancholy in her heart, she raised her head and drank the wine in the glass.

After saying this, Kang Shanzhen really believed that Bai Mochou was really "retiring bravely in a rapid current" and not just pretending to be mysterious.

Kang Shanzhen asked anxiously again: "Bai Yushi was joking, with your power, which man who marries Bai Su won't obediently become a door-to-door son-in-law?"

Bai Mochou pointed at Kang Shanzhen's nose and snorted, "Old Kang, you have to force me to speak out!"

"Hey... That bastard Shi Yue is so arrogant, if I force him to be my pensioner's son-in-law, will he still have to work hard with me?"

Kang Shanzhen laughed out loud when he heard the words, all doubts finally vanished!
