Chapter 450 Superior Dog

Protect the country with a saddle and protect the country with a sword.

This is the oath that every civil and military official must take when they put on their official uniforms and officially become a member of the court.

However, everyone had long forgotten this insignificant ceremony, along with the passionate oath.

It was not until Yun Chen's words that everyone suddenly woke up and remembered the original intention of being an official to serve the people, the country, and the king. He also used a height that no one could reach, which made Nan Lijun look more and more like a vulgar mortal:

You can't see such a clearly loyal minister, but you insist on believing what that guy named Wu said!

What a pity, what a pity!

However, judging from Nan Lijun's expression, she obviously did not understand the meaning of Yun Chen's words at all, nor did she realize the mood of everyone present.

She just had a happy smile on her face, happy about getting the power of 500,000 soldiers.

She lifted her gorgeous skirt and happily trotted to the small hall behind the dragon throne.

Yan Shijiu had been staying there, sitting on the armchair behind the dragon throne, listening quietly to everything that had just happened.

Yun Chen's words obviously shocked him.

He tried his best to appear calm in front of Nan Lijun, but his unusually dark eyes betrayed his inner joy:

Yun Chen is worthy of being his woman.

Only a woman like this, with such compassion and broad mind, would be worthy of being the mother of his future great kingdom after he unifies the world.

He controlled his emotions and looked at Nan Lijun's extremely beautiful face again, only to find it ordinary and ugly.

Nan Lijun naturally didn't know what Yan Shijiu was feeling. She happily threw herself into Yan Shijiu's arms, hugged his neck, and asked as if asking for a reward:

"How about it, am I awesome? Yun Chen is going to get the military token and hand over the military power!"

Yan Shijiu naturally offered all kinds of praise, hugged Nan Lijun's waist tightly, and gave her a deep and long kiss as she wished, blocking her mouth from chattering.

In the outer hall, although everyone could not see the situation in the small hall, they could hear the increasingly heavy and indescribable breathing sounds inside, and all looked embarrassed.

It’s okay that Nan Lijun likes to indulge in lust in broad daylight, everyone is used to it, and they have to suddenly withdraw from time to time.

But right now, this is the Yong'an Palace, the highest hall for state banquets, court sessions, and handling of major state affairs.

To put it nicely, Nanli Jun's behavior is willful, and to put it bluntly, he does not have the virtues and manners of a king at all.

Su Zhengyang frowned and gestured to the imperial guards to retreat, close the door, and guard outside the palace.

He walked to Hua, took Yun Liancheng's hand, and motioned for them to follow him.

Unexpectedly, Wu Yanguan stopped him and said with a smile:

"Let me take the Hua mother and son away. This is something the Emperor has agreed to."

Su Zhengyang hesitated for a moment, then slowly let go of his hand. His words were directed at Hua Shi and Yun Liancheng, but the threat in his tone was clearly directed at Wu Yanguan:

"Madam and young master, you can go without any problem. Yun Chen will definitely come back to take you home. If anyone dares to bully you or wrong you during these few hours, you can find any of the guards at the palace gate or on the palace road nearby and tell them you are looking for me, Su Zhengyang. I will redress your grievances and will show no mercy to the evildoers!"

"Thank you, Commander Su." Hua bowed gratefully.

Wu Yanguan seemed not to hear the indirect criticism in Su Zhengyang's words. He smiled casually and pulled Yun Liancheng towards the inner hall.

When passing by the small hall behind the dragon throne, Wu Yanguan raised his hands and covered Yun Liancheng's ears to block out the unbearable sound.

Looking at the expressions of Wu Yanguan and the fierce Pai Ruo, Yun Liancheng raised her little face, blinked her innocent eyes, and said crisply:

"You are a good person."

Wu Yanguan smiled slightly, patted Yun Liancheng's head, and said nothing. Hua Shi quickly bowed and apologized:

"My son's family education has not allowed me to...ah no, please forgive me, Lord Huai'an."

…

…

On the other side, after hearing that everyone in the outer hall had left and the door was closed, Nan Lijun became even more presumptuous.

She tried to undress Yan Shijiu several times, but he gently pushed her away.

Fortunately, she was still excited about getting the military power and didn't care too much about these things.

She stopped kissing, leaned in Yan Shijiu's arms, hugged his shoulders, and said happily:

"This time it went really smoothly, except for two things. First, you said you wanted to choose someone to be the 'great traitor'. I originally wanted to choose Yun Wang and use the lives of his wife and son to threaten him to impeach Huo Gannian and Yun Chen. What an interesting story of sibling rifts...

Unfortunately, Wu Huaian, the young eunuch who was best at making plum soup, suddenly jumped out and said he was willing to serve me and play the treacherous minister. Well, there weren't many suitable people on hand, so I had to promote him.

As a eunuch in my palace, he has been with me since he was a child, which makes everyone believe him. Plus, he plays the role of the 'treacherous minister' very well, which is quite good."

Yan Shijiu was obviously not interested in Wu Huaian, a character who was insignificant and doomed to die, and smiled knowingly asking:

"So what's the second 'flaw'? Let me guess, it's because I wasn't able to marry Yun Chen to King Xi Yan?"

"You guessed it right!" Nan Lijun held Yan Shijiu's face and gave him a kiss. Then he stretched out his slender white index finger, gently tapped his chin, and pondered:

"Then where should we 'place' Yun Chen appropriately?"

"I have an idea." Yan Shijiu smiled quite charmingly and whispered something close to Nan Lijun's ear.

Nan Lijun's eyes widened, and he suddenly stood up from his arms and said excitedly:

“No! No way!!”

Yan Shijiu had obviously expected her reaction. He first tried to persuade her kindly:

"Don't you hate Yun Chen and always want to humiliate her? Then this is the best way to humiliate her."

Seeing that Nan Lijun refused to agree, he became even angrier. He overturned all the lamps and teacups at hand and shouted over and over again, "I won't allow it! No matter what you say, I won't agree! Even if you have a million reasons, I won't agree!" Yan Shijiu slowly suppressed all the smiles on his face and looked at Nan Lijun coldly.

Nan Lijun rarely saw Yan Shijiu like this, and knew that he was really angry.

Her eyes rolled around, and she immediately calmed down and changed her attitude. She squatted in front of Yan Shijiu, hugged his legs, looked up at his handsome and cold face, and begged:

"Can you try another method? I can't agree to this!"

Yan Shijiu stood up and threw Nan Lijun to the ground. He looked at her coldly from under his eyes and frowned:

"This is the best way to both stop humiliating Huo Gannian and keep a close eye on Yun Chen, preventing them from resisting or obstructing us. It's also a key step in consolidating our throne. How could you be so ignorant? I'm so disappointed!"

After saying that, Yan Shijiu turned away, leaving Nan Lijun sitting on the floor of the palace with a look of hurt and guilt on his face.

After leaving Yong'an Hall, the coldness on Yan Shijiu's face immediately melted away.

He glanced at Han Biao who had been waiting for a long time not far away, frowned slightly, and his eyes seemed to say:

"Why haven't you left yet? Why don't you hurry back to Xiyan and fight for the throne?"

Han Biao walked over slowly with his arms folded, not looking anxious at all, and said with a smile:

"This drama from your Nan Country is so exciting. I really don't want to leave. I can't help but watch it for a while longer."

Yan Shijiu gestured with his eyes to a place three steps away where Su Zhengyang and the imperial guards were guarding the palace gate, meaning that he should be careful with his words.

Han Biao didn't care at all. He nodded his chin in the direction where Yun Chen had just left, and continued to speak to Yan Shijiu in a familiar tone:

"Do you think she will come back?"

Yan Shijiu didn't say anything.

Instead, Su Zhengyang raised his eyebrows and asked:

"Why not?"

Han Biao laughed and said, "She has 500,000 elite soldiers at her disposal, and she can conquer anything she wants. Rather than surrendering her military power and letting others do the bidding of her, it's better to shake things up and make her own decisions. If you ask me, I definitely won't come back. At least I'll run away first. I don't care about family and friends. The most important thing is to save my own life."

Su Zhengyang looked Han Biao up and down with contempt, his disgust evident in his words, as if to say:

That chrysanthemum smile on your face, is it the expression of someone whose father just died? And who do you think you are? How dare you be compared to Yun Chen? Predicting her noble intentions?

But after all, Han Biao is the prince of Xiyan, so Su Zhengyang couldn't confront him directly, so he could only say coldly:

"Everyone in this world will run away and rebel, but Yun Chen will definitely not."

"Why?" Han Biao asked again.

Su Zhengyang was obviously annoyed by the questions and was too lazy to say anything more.

Yan Shijiu spoke at this time, his tone frivolous but meaningful:

"Have you ever had a dog? The so-called 'dog nature' is that a fickle and disloyal dog is an inferior dog. A dog that wags its tail when given a little benefit, but turns and walks away when the benefit is gone, and a dog that seeks profit is a mediocre dog. This is also the common nature of most dogs.

So what is a top-notch loyal dog? It's one that can't be beaten away, can't be scolded, shares wealth, and doesn't despise poverty. Even if wronged or misunderstood, even if the master is a piece of rotten mud, it will still stick with the master and protect him loyally to the end. This is the rarest loyal dog in the world.

Yun Chen is just such a 'dog'."

Han Biao nodded repeatedly in agreement, and jokingly said to himself, "You're right, it's quite strong, and it hits people with great force."

Su Zhengyang, who was standing aside, had a very ugly expression on his face.

Yan Shijiu's words sounded like high praise for Yun Chen, but why did he have to compare Yun Chen to a "dog"?

It seems that in Yan Shijiu's eyes, Yun Chen is not like a strong, beautiful and independent woman, but more like a pet that people love and want to possess?

This feeling made Su Zhengyang very unhappy, and he opened his mouth to retort. Anyway, he always kept his distance from Yan Shijiu and they had no close relationship.

Just as he was about to speak, Su Zhengyang remembered something: when he got married a few days ago, he did not invite Yan Shijiu, but Yan Shijiu sent someone to send a gift, which surprised Su Zhengyang.

It was a large mirror with a frame inlaid with various gems. It was extremely bright and gorgeous, and it could reflect people very clearly.

Su Zhengyang didn't quite understand the meaning of giving the mirror as a gift, but since there was no reason to return a wedding gift, he had to keep it in the house so that his wife could use it when putting on makeup.

Su Zhengyang has not thanked Yan Shijiu for this yet.

As the saying goes, one who eats someone's food will be soft-hearted, and one who takes someone's money will be short-handed. Su Zhengyang was not good at speaking harshly, and after a long while, he said with a sullen face:

"Yun Chen is a human! Not a dog!"
