I'm so hard

Chapter 175
Squeak!

The door was pushed open, and the man in black held Shangguan unhappy and walked out of the door.

The imperial guards outside the door couldn't help but turn pale with fright, and quickly took out their weapons and surrounded him.

"Quickly release Lord Shangguan!" The guard commander on duty shouted with his eyes wide open.

"Get out of the way, or I'll kill him immediately!" The man in black tightly strangled Shangguan Buyue's neck, and the dagger drew a faint bloodstain on his neck.

Immediately, the soldiers of the imperial army did not dare to move.

Although the displeased Lord Shangguan is not welcomed by the officials, he is a treasure in the eyes of His Majesty today. If anything happens tonight, no one present will be able to escape punishment.

Cai You, Minister of Rites, stood in the corner, still very nervous.

If the man in black was still tying him at this moment, he would have peed his pants.

Shangguan was displeased and straightened his chest, and said: "Don't be afraid of him, this thief peeked at the test questions of the scriptures, and he must be captured. My life is not important!"

"No, the test questions can be redone, Lord Shangguan's life must be saved, let this thief go!" Cai You walked out quickly and said loudly.

The surrounding soldiers hesitated for a moment, then retreated to the sides.

"I won't leave. If I die here today, I won't leave! This person must be caught!" Shangguan was displeased with a determined expression on his face, and his body remained motionless.

The file on the table was sorted out by him and Cai You in a few days. The test questions of tomorrow's Tie Jing must be transcribed on a file and then sealed. Once this time is missed, it will have a great impact on the imperial examination.

Shangguan was not sure how much the man in black had memorized, so he didn't want to let him go.

Cai You's eyes were red, and his heart was extremely moved. At this moment, he felt that Shangguan's displeasure was very great.

At this moment, the man in black had one arm stuck on Shangguan's unhappy neck, dragging him towards the outside.

"Get out of the way, or I'll kill him immediately!"

The soldiers on both sides followed from a distance, but they didn't dare to get too close.

And the guard commander on duty, after thinking for a while, winked at the two soldiers not far away.

The latter understood immediately, and suddenly dropped the long knife in his hand to the ground.

When the man in black turned his head to look, the commander of the guards made a sudden move and rushed towards the two of them like a cheetah.

boom!
A left uppercut.

It hit the man in black firmly in the face, and knocked out the dagger in his hand.

Shangguan's displeased reaction was also very quick, he punched the man in black's abdomen with his elbow, and then quickly got away.

"Catch him, beat him up first!" The guard commander said in a cold voice. If there is any danger of Shangguan being displeased today, he will be considered a successful official.

Soon, the man in black was taken down after being beaten up by a group of people.

And Cai You ran up to Shangguan who was not happy, and asked very sincerely: "Master Shangguan, are you okay, do you want to ask the doctor to take a look?"

"It's okay, it's just a small injury, it will heal soon!" Shangguan said displeasedly, touching the wound on his neck.

"Thank you, brother Shangguan, for saving me. In the past few days, I have been narrow-minded, and my words have been inappropriate, and I am not as good as you for your official duties. I am really ashamed!"

"I also have some rude words. The two of us are on errands for His Majesty, so we should work together to get the errands done well!"

……

In the cold night, the moon has already set.

Shangguan Buyue and Cai You stood in the courtyard and began to chat about the imperial examination questions. They didn't go to sleep until the third watch.

The friendship between men is as simple as that, and suddenly they turn from mutual dislike to sympathy!
The next day, around noon.

Three sedan chairs stopped at the gate of Jixianyuan.

Xiao Jingye, Kong Moshan, and Yang Xinghuai, the three giants, walked out slowly.

When the three heard that Shangguan was unhappy and Cai You had a quarrel in Jixianyuan, they started fighting, so they came here to persuade them to make peace, and urged the two to focus on the imperial examination matters.

Just as the soldiers at the gate of Jixianyuan were about to report, they were stopped by Yang Xinghuai with a wave of his hand.

"You can do whatever you need to do. There is no need to report. The three of us are just taking a look."

Immediately, the Big Three walked towards the gate.

The officials of Jixianyuan were about to salute when they saw the three, but they stopped them and told them to keep quiet.

The three of them wanted to see what kind of relationship Shangguan Buyue and Cai You were currently in.

At this moment, the door of the hall is open, and the warm sunlight pours in, making it look very warm.

In front of that big table, Cai You and Shangguan Buyue stood shoulder to shoulder, each holding a file, and the other making a speech.

"Brother Cai, I thought that the contents of the "Shangshu" could be deleted from the content of this thread. Its content is too obscure, and the frequency of entry in previous years is too high!"

"What brother Shangguan said is reasonable, I think this direction is very good."

……

"Brother Shangguan really deserves to be the head of the Yushitai. The ability to sort out the files is really outstanding. This old man admires him very much!"

"Brother Cai is joking, how can my superficial skills compare to Brother Cai's analysis of "Book of Rites"!"

……

The two talked and laughed, praised each other, and they both had bright smiles on their faces, and they seemed to get along very well.

The big three at the door couldn't help being dumbfounded.

Xiao Jingye and Kong Moshan looked at Yang Xinghuai at the same time, obviously questioning, didn't you say they were still fighting yesterday?
Yang Xinghuai also looked depressed, the two of them obviously still had bruises on their faces, but their current relationship was like chatting with friends who had known each other for several years.

The three first-rank officials of the imperial court were peeping and listening at the door, which was indeed not very elegant.

"Cough cough..."

Xiao Jingye coughed twice, then strode into the hall.

Yang Xinghuai and Kong Moshan also followed behind him.

Shangguan Buyue and Cai You heard the sound of coughing, and immediately turned around. After seeing the three giants of the imperial court, they immediately bowed their hands and greeted them.

Xiao Jingye asked suspiciously: "When did the relationship between the two of you become so good?"

Cai You said with a smile: "Shangguan's intelligence and strategy are superior to those of the lower officials. After talking with him deeply, I feel that Shangguan can be my close friend."

"Your Majesty Cai is awesome. I need to learn some of your experience in writing articles."

The two looked at each other with a faint light in their eyes.

Yang Xinghuai felt like the two of them were just on their honeymoon, and he couldn't help asking: "Didn't you two fight yesterday?"

Shangguan Kueyue smiled awkwardly, and said: "It's because of the high spirits of the lower official, I had a little dispute with Brother Cai, and it has been completely resolved."

"I also have something wrong. It's because Shangguan brother has a lot of adults, so he accommodated me!" Cai You quickly added.

When the two were talking, their faces were sincere, and they were short of putting a banner saying "love each other" on their heads.

Xiao Jingye breathed a sigh of relief, and sighed in his heart: "If the civil and military officials of the Great Zhou are as humble and friendly as these two, then the prosperity of my Great Zhou will surely come soon!"
