Chapter 1973 - Old Man, New Arrival
"No, no, please stop working." Sun Dian quickly declined.
"Oh, Shao Jin, there's no need to go then."
"Yes, Master."
Soon, Shao Jin moved a chair for Chi Zhongtian, and then he also moved one for Sun Dian.
"Commander Sun, sit down."
"Don't dare."
"Why are you so polite? Sit down."
"Thank you, General Chi."
After Sun Dian sat down, Chi Zhongtian said: "Commander Sun is different from me. I am just a sinecure. You are different. You shoulder the important responsibility of protecting the emperor, so don't be polite to me."
"General Chi, you are joking."
"General Sun is here, what can I do?"
Seeing that Chi Zhongtian knew what he was asking, Sun Dian didn't dare to express his anger even though he was angry.
"Come and explain a misunderstanding to General Chi."
"What misunderstanding?"
"It's this little brother. I didn't know him before, so I offended him a lot." Sun Dian said with a smile.
"I can't blame you for this. Doesn't he know you too?"
"That's that." Sun Dian responded awkwardly.
"I don't think it matters whether you know each other or not. Just distinguish right from wrong. People in the Guards are all soldiers. Soldiers have simple minds and don't understand the many twists and turns. It's enough to know who is right and who is wrong.
Yes, what do you think, Commander Sun?"
"General Chi's words make sense."
"If you lead a group of people who are thinking about other things all day long, I'm afraid you will have a headache."
"What General Chi said is that it was indeed my fault that time. Today I apologize to this brother."
With that said, Sun Dian stood up and saluted Shao Jin.
"You're welcome, Commander Sun. Please don't break the rules next time." Shao Jin said unceremoniously.
"Definitely."
"Commander Sun, if you have nothing to do, just go back."
"Okay, then I won't disturb General Chi."
"Walk slowly."
"You stay."
In fact, Chi Zhongtian didn't even move his butt off the chair. Sun Dian said this just to comfort himself.
"Master, if I encounter him messing around again next time, will I still care about him?" Shao Jin asked suddenly after watching Sun Dian leave.
"Of course you have to take care of it. As long as you have to take care of things, you must take care of them. Remember, people can't be troublesome, but they can't be afraid of things either."
"Master, I remember it."
"Master may go back in a few days. You should be more careful here alone. You should have a better relationship with others and make more friends."
"Master, there are many good people in the Imperial Guard, but I think they are quite boring. They just do those few things every day, either patrolling the palace, or eating and sleeping."
"Don't feel bored, that's their responsibility, and it's also your responsibility."
"oh."
"Listen more, watch more, and learn more. When you succeed here in the future, Master will still count on you."
"Master, you are really good at joking. You are so powerful, how could you expect me."
"That's not necessarily the case."
While they were chatting and laughing, a servant came in from outside and said that someone asked to see Chi Zhongtian.
Chi Zhongtian thought that another official was coming, so he asked Shao Jin to go down to rest and asked the servants to bring the guests in.
As soon as he entered the living room, Chi Zhongtian felt a little strange.
Because this guest actually wore a bamboo hat, he couldn't see his face clearly.
"This friend, who are you?" Chi Zhongtian asked doubtfully.
"General Chi, are you okay?"
After the visitor took off his bamboo hat, Chi Zhongtian quickly stood up.
"Your Highness, why is it you? Please sit down quickly!"
The person who came was none other than King De.
Chi Zhongtian didn't expect that King De would be here, let alone that King De would be dressed like this.
"General Chi, I heard that you have just arrived in the capital, so I won't disturb you, right?"
"Your Highness must be teasing me on purpose." Chi Zhongtian said with a smile while pouring a cup of tea for King De.
"How could that happen?"
"Your Highness, with all due respect, you must have something important to do when you come to me dressed like this, right?"
"General Chi is quick to talk, so I won't be verbose. I came to you this time to ask you for something."
"What's up?"
"How about asking General Chi to be my personal guard for a few days?"
"Your Highness, what does this mean?" Chi Zhongtian seemed a little confused.
"From today to the first day of next month, how about asking General Chi to be my bodyguard for personal protection?"
"Why, is Your Highness afraid that someone will do something bad to you?" Chi Zhongtian said jokingly.
"Alas, General Chi doesn't know something. His Majesty will appoint the crown prince immediately on the first day of next month. Now everyone feels that I am determined to win. If this is the case, some people will be unhappy, and if they are unhappy, they will do something wrong.
Things to do.”
"Your Highness, as a prince, do you still lack the protection of experts around you?"
"Haha, General Chi did this on purpose. Counting all the guards in my house, can they survive ten moves against you?"
"Haha, His Highness said this on purpose. Well, since His Highness thinks so highly of me, Chi will do my part."
"Okay, it would be great if General Chi can agree to this."
"I don't dare. It's time to do something for His Highness."
"In this case, I will take my leave."
"Your Highness, if you don't mind it, just have a drink here."
"No, no, General Chi has just arrived in the capital, so we might as well make friends."
"Thank you for your consideration, Your Highness."
"Farewell."
When King De left, he left alone through the back door.
Chi Zhongtian knew why King De was so scared, but he also felt that King De was making a fuss out of a molehill. As long as he was here in the capital, who would dare to do anything against him?
Soon, there are only two days left until the first day of next month.
Officials from all over the country who were ordered to come to Beijing have already arrived. The people in the Ministry of Rites are busy with various matters for the ceremony of establishing the crown prince every day. The whole palace is full of joy, but in fact some people are happy and some are worried.
King Qing had long lost his thoughts and drank wine every day. No one could control him. When he was happy, he would go outside for a walk.
A movement.
The emperor treated him well. He still had the throne and salary, so he treated him as if he had raised an idle man.
Early that morning, Prince Qing was in a pretty good mood. After walking around in the garden for a few times, he asked someone to get some food and wine and started drinking.
At this time, someone came back to report that someone wanted to see him.
Since King Qing lost power, no one comes at all except for some ministers who come to pay their respects during some festivals every year.
So when he heard that someone wanted to see him, King Qing felt very strange.
After meeting this person, it became even more strange.
This person seemed to be a woman, but she had a mask on her face and a sword in her hand.
"Who are you?"
