Yan Kuan went up to the stands, not daring to look at Xie Lian's face. He bowed respectfully and said:

"Meet the Prime Minister"

Xie Lian's complexion had returned to normal. His slender, clean fingers tapped regularly on the tea table beside him, like the drumbeats of death, making Yan Kuan's heart sink deeper and deeper.

After almost half an incense stick of time, Xie Lian finally spoke coldly:

"Strict Yamen officials are exempt from courtesy"

Yan Kuan slowly straightened up, pretending that his waist was in discomfort, and grimaced as he cupped his hands:

"Thank you, Prime Minister"

He knew that Xie Lian was deliberately torturing him.

But it doesn't matter, as long as he can calm down, he is happy to coax him. Thinking back to the time when he had to do horse stance for four hours every day to practice martial arts, these frictions are nothing.

Seeing Yan Kuan like this, Xie Lian leisurely picked up the teacup, pinched the lid to skim off the foam, and said with a hint of ambiguous ridicule:

"Why is it that when I met Yan Yayi this time, he was not as high-spirited as before, and even spoke less?"

Yan Kuan hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "This, I am not a talkative person."

Hearing this, Xie Lian’s eyes flashed with a sharpness.

Nonsense, he was a talkative person when I beat him that night.

When Xie Lian thought of that night, his eyes turned toward Yan Kuan with a complex look, and even a hint of an intriguing smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Yan Kuan's scalp tingled as he watched this, and he secretly thought that the rumors were indeed true: Xie Lian, the Prime Minister of Daiyue, was a man of great intelligence and almost a demon.

Seeing the smile on the corner of his mouth, Yan Kuan felt uneasy. If he wanted to play a trick on him, it would be like playing with a dog!

In order not to be treated like a dog, Yan Kuan immediately knelt down on one knee and bowed his head to apologize:

"My Lord Prime Minister, I was wrong."

This kneeling was so quick and decisive that Xie Lian was stunned.

Xie Lian was silent for a moment, then waved his hand. Wei Ran, who was standing beside him, understood and walked off the stage, standing with his back turned in the distance.

Xie Lian lazily leaned back on the Qilin chair behind him, squinting his eyes as he looked at Yan Kuan who was kneeling on the ground with his head bowed:

"It's really strange that a brave man like Yan Yayi would admit his mistake."

This weird tone made Yan Kuan feel irritated and itchy. It was true that civil officials were not easy to fight. Unlike the warriors, they were straightforward and didn't go around in circles.

do my best!

Yan Kuan looked straight at Xie Lian, his tone sincere:

"I was so wrong. I drank too much that night and somehow I mistook you for someone who was provoking me, and then..."

"you shut up"

Xie Lian sat up straight, staring at Yan Kuan in shock and anger, the blood rushing to his cheeks instantly.

Seeing that Xie Lian was angry, Yan Kuan was afraid that he would order him to be chopped in a rage, so he quickly took his hand and gently tapped his mouth:

"I'm not good, it's my fault, I don't know how to speak, please don't be angry, okay?"

"At worst, you can hit me back, I definitely won't fight back"

Yan Kuan was tall, and when he knelt on the ground he was almost at the same height as Xie Lian who was sitting. Thinking that Xie Lian was going to punish him, he hurriedly moved closer to beg for forgiveness.

The man had a broad figure, almost covering Xie Lian, and his warm breath sprayed around Xie Lian, making him feel uncomfortable.

He was about to scold him for being shameless. If anyone wanted to hit him, they should hit him with their hands. At this moment, he just wanted to beat him to death with the warden's whip.

But when he turned around, Yan Kuan's resolute and handsome face was staring at him intently, his eyes were sincere and clear, like an innocent big wolfdog waiting for his master's forgiveness.

Xie Lian’s face became hot when he was stared at. He felt that the air around him was thin. He didn’t care about being angry and kicked Yan Kuan’s leg:

"go away"

As he said this, he picked up the teacup and wanted to drink some tea to calm the nerves.

He felt a little breathless.

Yan Kuan didn't expect such a refined person to curse. He must be very angry. He didn't dare to provoke him again. He could only kneel down and take two steps back, saying with some grievance:

"I really didn't mean it"

After a while, he suddenly thought of something and looked at Xie Lian eagerly:

"Let's put it this way. From now on, I will be the Prime Minister's man. If you say east, I won't dare go west. If you ask me to walk the dog, I will never chase the chicken."

"Cough cough..."

Upon hearing this, Xie Lian choked on his tea and couldn’t help but cough softly.

Yan Kuan felt that he was really smart. By working as the prime minister's subordinate and being under his command, he not only escaped a disaster but also had a bright future.

I must hold on to this big golden leg.

Such wealth and wealth!

So Yan Kuan quickly stood up, stepped forward and patted his future boss on the back. Knowing that he was very strong, he slightly reduced his strength and spoke with concern:

"Look at you, Prime Minister. How could you be so careless?"

As he said this, he used his sleeve to wipe Xie Lian’s mouth.

Xie Lian’s eyes widened as he looked at the sleeve covered in oil and dust that kept approaching him. He pushed it away and turned around, coughing even more violently.

"Ahem... ahem... you want to die, don't you?"

Why are you still talking about death? I can't get over this, can I?

Yan Kuan had no choice but to stand aside quietly, waiting for his fate.

It took Xie Lian a long time to recover. He rubbed his brows and glanced at Yan Kuan who was standing beside him with a lonely look.

After thinking for a while, he asked, "Are you really willing to be used by me?"

Yan Kuan's eyes lit up at this and he nodded hurriedly: "Yes, I am a hundred percent willing."

Xie Lian heard the corners of his mouth curl up slightly, and at this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from outside the training ground.

An angry man with wrinkles on his face and wearing an official hat walked in quickly, followed by a group of ferocious thugs.

Good guy, Yan Kuan didn’t believe him when he said he wasn’t seeking revenge.

He thought arrogantly that he had done many righteous deeds in the past few days in Beijing and had no enemies. Only today he humiliated Cui Jue, so he must be the father of his assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

He immediately stood beside Xie Lian. Seeing this, Wei Ran followed him.

Xie Lian glanced at Yan Kuan: "Promising"

Although it was a mockery, the tone was somewhat intimate. Wei Ran was a little stunned. How come the Prime Minister and Yan Kuan had such a good relationship in such a short time?

Yan Kuan shrugged his shoulders when he heard this: "He is a fourth-rank official, and I am just a yamen runner. There is a world of difference between us, okay?"

As Cui Hao was speaking, he had already walked up the stairs. Unexpectedly, Xie Lian hurriedly bowed and said, “Greetings, Prime Minister.”

Xie Lian waved his sleeves and said, “No need to be polite. Lord Cui seems to be in a hurry, but what’s the urgent matter?”

Cui Hao's face flushed red, his eyes were about to spit fire, and he pointed at Yan Kuan and said:

"Prime Minister, this Yan Kuan insulted my son so much in today's martial arts champion competition. It's really too much."

"Oh? Really? Yan Kuan, did you insult Minister Cui's son?"

Yan Kuan bowed and said: "Prime Minister, I don't have any."

"Nonsense! So many people saw it, how can you deny it? I will take you to the prison department now and let you understand what crime it is to openly beat the family members of court officials."

The prison warden can skin Yan Kuan without any action himself.

"How dare you, Cui Hao! How can you be so presumptuous in front of the Prime Minister?"

Wei Ran took a step forward and glared at Cui Hao.
