Need for a Guard

Chapter 8 Why do officials come to court?

Shi Yue chased after the Ninth Lady's carriage with great strides, but he became suspicious of the old beggar in his heart!

I was obviously wearing a coarse cloth gown, which looked poor at first glance, but that young man was dressed gorgeously, and he was 100% the son of a rich family!Why does he beg only to me?But don't beg for gold and silver from that dandy?

Is it possible that beggars are picking soft persimmons when they beg?Shi Yue pondered for a long time, although he didn't know the truth, but there must be tricks in it!

Mrs. Ninth had already come to the door of Commander-in-Chief, looking around, but she didn't know where Shi Yue had gone, thinking to herself: Didn't this bastard run away secretly because she reprimanded him a few times, and had a grudge in his heart?

She twisted her waist, and there was a hint of anxiety between her brows: This handsome brother, can't he even understand the girl's coquettishness?

Just feeling lost, Shi Yue followed up from behind, sweating profusely!

The Ninth Madam finally felt relieved, stomped on the three-inch golden lotus, and said angrily, "Stinky Stone, where did you go again? As my Madam's personal bodyguard, if you dare to leave your post without permission, what should you do?"

Shi Yue wiped his sweat carelessly with his sleeve, and said with a smile: "When Mrs. Ninth arranges a mule for me, I won't have to be so embarrassed."

Ninth Madam listened to Shi Yue mentioning her wild idea, she couldn't hold back the joy on her face anymore, she giggled coquettishly with a snort, and the air was immediately filled with a sweet fragrance.

This chick smiled at herself again, so seductive!

Shi Yue heaved a sigh of relief, calmed his mind, looked at the dark beast-headed gate and the ferocious stone lion in front of him, and felt the magnificence of the Commander's mansion, this gigantic giant!

The vermilion walls, the dark green glazed tile roof, and a blue plaque inlaid with gold rims hang in the middle, on which are written "Guogong Gong" in three large gold characters.

Eight big horses are carved on the golden frame, with strange shapes and different gods and shapes.

The big horse on the top shakes its mane and neighs; the two unicorns at the bottom shake their heads and tails, playing with a shining golden orb.

Under the plaque, stood a group of black-clothed guards in wild goose uniforms!

Holding double-edged mother-in-law knives in their hands, they stared at all kinds of pedestrians coming and going. Although they looked at each person one by one, they were not very powerful, but standing in a row, they had a majestic momentum, which made people fearful at first glance.

The Ninth Madam walked up to Shi Yue's side, and whispered in his ear, "Little Shitou, this place is no better than Xiong's Mansion. The commanding officer is so powerful that no one can match it. Don't be presumptuous for a while. Put that whole body on your head." Put away all the thorns, otherwise, if something happens, my wife will not be able to protect you!"

Thorns all over?Where do I have thorns?You think I'm a hedgehog!

Shi Yue didn't even listen to a word of Mrs. Ninth's faithful words. He was completely intoxicated by the fragrance that blows like orchids. He twitched his nose slightly and complained: "Mrs. Ninth, you are so long-winded... "

Shi Yue followed behind Mrs. Ninth, and walked into the resplendent hall full of passion!

The civil and military officials of the Great Yan Kingdom gathered together just like the emperor's early court, the only difference is: in the early court, the officials were standing, but at this time, they were all given a seat under their buttocks.

A small ant like Shi Yue is naturally not qualified to enter the main hall.

Mrs. Ninth repeatedly asked him to stand at the corner door in an orderly manner and not to walk around carelessly, so she led Xi'er into the back hall mysteriously.

Up to this moment, Shi Yue didn't understand what kind of benefits the Ninth Madam's participation in the birthday banquet would bring for Xiong Qishan's official promotion?He leaned against the corner door, looked up at the ugliness of the officials, and listened to the flattery and flattery of all the people, feeling very bored!

But when his lazy gaze caught sight of the figure of the commanding officer sitting in the middle, his figure straightened up, and his eyes shot out a strange look.

There was a violent twitch in my heart for no reason: This guy... What a powerful aura!

The Lord Protector of Dayan, the Commander of the Guards in Black——Kang Shanzhen, sat upright on a high platform, with a pair of deep triangular eyes inlaid on his thin cheeks!

Although he is sixty years old, he is imposing.

He glanced majestically at the courtiers whose cheeks were filled with flattery, his eyes filled with satisfaction and confidence.

A burly warrior walked by his side, whispered in his ear, "My lord, Eunuch Zhang reported just now that the emperor was fighting crickets with a group of young eunuchs. The little eunuch presents a pair of blue sea corals, wishing you a long life and a healthy life!" After the warrior finished speaking, he stood respectfully by his side, waiting for Kang Shanzhen to be furious.

Unexpectedly, Kang Shanzhen did not make a big move, frowned slightly, stroked his beard, and said thoughtfully: "The emperor is really fighting crickets?"

"It's absolutely true. Eunuch Zhang reported just now that the emperor was betting with the eunuchs. Whoever loses a game will take off a shirt. Now the emperor is so red-eyed that he almost took off his pants..."

The burly man couldn't help laughing out loud when he said the wonderful thing.

"Presumptuous! You dare to arrange the emperor's story without authorization, don't you? Hurry up and back down!" Kang Shanzhen yelled angrily in a low voice, full of power, the man didn't dare to laugh anymore, bowed his eyebrows pleasingly, and backed down.

He looked down at the ministers, and a smug smile inadvertently crossed the corner of his mouth: What's the use of a little emperor who doesn't understand etiquette, ignores the overall situation, and only knows how to fight crickets?

The wine glasses in the hands of all the officials have already been raised, obviously, they are listening to his instruction.

Kang Shanzhen stood up with a smile, waved his big sleeves lightly, swept the whole body with the momentum of the world, raised his glass and said loudly: "My colleagues, today is my [-]th birthday, thank you for coming, everyone sitting here , is my friend! Come on, let’s drink this cup together, may our Great Yan have good weather, the country is safe and the people are peaceful! Let’s wish our emperor good fortune and longevity, and rule for thousands of years!”

There was a burst of cheers in the mansion, and all the officials were extremely excited. They all prepared generous gifts, and wanted to please the commander to please the adults at this rare opportunity.

Especially Xiong Qishan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, knows the mantra that being an official is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat.

Those wrinkled four-white eyes were full of light, impatient to wait, suddenly got up, raised his glass flatteringly and said: "Your Commander is dedicated to serving the country, working hard day and night, he is indeed a role model for us officials, I feel and admire him , May the commander make you healthy and immortal..." While speaking, he raised the wine in his glass high, and drank it happily!

This act of scrambling and flattering made the high-ranking commander think of the captain.

Shi Yue stood at the corner door, a trace of disdain flashed at the corner of his mouth!

Confucius said: What's the hurry!

You Xiong Qishan is just a minister of the Ministry of Industry, ranked at the end of the six departments, let alone those princes and generals, those big crocodiles have not had time to show their loyalty, you, a little shrimp, want to come out on top?Are you crazy about wanting to be promoted?

Today's short-sighted flattery will surely pay a heavy price tomorrow!

Xiong Qishan had a smug face, Sibai's eyes gleamed brightly, and he said happily: "My lord, I have prepared a small gift for you, and I hope you will enjoy it!" .

Shi Yue has also been wondering, where does Xiong Qishan's outstanding self-confidence come from?

While pondering secretly, a stunner with stunning appearance, graceful figure and wearing tulle flew into the hall like a cheerful butterfly along with the elegant sound of the piano.

It is the charming and graceful Ninth Lady!
