Quickly wear! Bind to the scumbag transformation system

Yan Kuan lay comfortably in the carriage, eating the grapes that Xie Lian handed to him.

His face is full of satisfaction. It is probably unique for an official to have his superiors serve him.

He was also nervous at first, but Xie Lian insisted that he get into the carriage, and even disliked him for eating the grapes with the skin on, so he insisted that he peel the skin before eating.

Xie Lian wiped the juice off his hands with a towel, his eyes were both angry and funny: "Why don't you just be lazy to death?"

Yan Kuan didn't dare to show off too much, so he just joked and stood up and asked seriously, "Why did you go up the mountain alone many years ago? Where are your servants?"

He knew that Xie Lian was a son of a noble family, so why would he go out alone?

Upon hearing this, Xie Lian recalled what happened many years ago, lowered his eyes and said calmly:

"I was weak since childhood and was raised by my parents in my hometown. One day, I suddenly received news from the front line that my father and brother were captured by the Western Liang Kingdom and tortured to death. I didn't believe it, and despite my family's opposition, I went to the capital to find the Duke of Zhenguo to verify it, and then I ran away secretly."

Xie Lian choked up a bit, his voice was desolate:

"I went to the battlefield with the Duke of Zhenguo. He cried and told me that my father and brother were ambushed and captured in order to protect the people on the border of Dai Viet. Even their bodies were missing. When I rushed back to my hometown, my mother had hanged herself."

Yan Kuan had heard the story of Xie Zifeng, the first prize winner of Dayue, but he had never expected that there was such a tragedy behind it, and that even his body had not been returned to his homeland. He was so angry that his eyes were blazing with anger. He took Xie Lian's hand and promised him: "Don't worry, I, Yan Kuan, swear that one day I will conquer Xiliang City and let your father and brother die with peace of mind."

Xie Lian's eyes sparkled with tears, and a faint smile appeared on his lips. He looked at Yan Kuan with trust: "Okay"

The carriage traveled for half a month and when it was about to reach the gate of the capital, a horseman came to report: "Prime Minister, the emperor and all the officials are waiting at the gate."

Yan Kuan was shocked and lifted the curtain to look. There was a huge crowd of people. As expected, they had all arrived.

This is such a huge honor.

"Oh, I see"

Xie Lian remained calm, while Yan Kuan quickly got out of the carriage and mounted the warhorse beside it.

Xie Lian found it amusing, knowing that he wanted to save his general’s face, so after the carriage stopped, he walked out elegantly.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

The little emperor looked at Xie Lian excitedly and said, "Father, there is no need to be so polite. I heard that you fell off the mountain and I was very worried."

"Your Majesty, don't worry. I am unharmed. It was thanks to Deputy General Yan that we were able to recapture Gancheng this time."

The little emperor smiled and looked at Yan Kuan who was kneeling on the ground: "This time, Deputy General Yan defeated the enemy and saved my father. I will reward you well."

Yan Kuan knelt on the ground: "Thank you, Your Majesty"

All the officials were happy to pay their respects to the Prime Minister and compliment the Deputy General Yan Kuan.

After everyone accompanied the emperor back to the palace, a majestic old man dressed in first-grade court robes came over and looked at Yan Kuan.

Yan Kuan hurriedly bowed and said, "Greetings, Duke of Zhenguo."

The Duke of Zhenguo looked at him for a while, then laughed at Xie Lian and said, "Prime Minister, your subordinate is really good. I would like to take him as my son-in-law."

When these words came out, Xie Lian and Yan Kuan were both horrified.

Xie Lian frowned, “Why do you say that, Lord Zhenguo?”

Duke Lu Changyuan stroked his beard and looked at Yan Kuan with satisfaction:

"Deputy General Yan and my daughter have a history. Your contribution this time can be considered a career success. I can decide to marry my daughter to you."

Lu Changyuan had been in the military for many years and had a straightforward character. His son Lu Jiu had met Yan Kuan once before and immediately recognized him as the man who saved Jingjing.

Lu Changyuan admired Yan Kuan's martial arts at that time, and waited for him to conquer Gancheng with a testing mentality.

He patted Yan Kuan's shoulder with his big hand:

"Boy, I admire you. I think you are not a pedantic person. I have had thoughts about you since Jingjing came home. My family is also a military family. You two are a match made in heaven."

Yan Kuan never thought that the Duke of Zhenguo was here to send peach blossoms. He was a little overwhelmed by the situation and immediately looked at his boss.

"Why are you looking at my nephew? Even though he is your superior, he cannot control your marriage."

The Duke of Zhenguo was even more of a rough man, and he didn't even notice Xie Lian's dark expression. He just kept asking Yan Kuan.

"Yes, since the Duke of Zhenguo thinks so highly of you, Deputy General Yan, why are you still hesitating?"

Yan Kuan knew immediately from this familiar sarcastic tone that Xie Lian was unhappy, but he didn't understand why.

For a moment, my whole mind was on him.

Seeing that he had already entered the carriage and ordered Wei Ran to enter the city gate, Yan Kuan felt inexplicably anxious.

Seeing Yan Kuan remained silent for a long time, Lu Changyuan was a little unhappy: "Why, you are not disgusted with my Jingjing's experience, are you?"

If that's the case, then he has made a mistake in choosing the right person. Yan Kuan is not worthy of his precious daughter.

Yan Kuan immediately bowed his hands and said: "How is it possible? How could I be that kind of person? Miss Jingjing is a good girl. I, I don't want to get married yet."

When the Duke of Zhenguo heard that Yan Kuan didn't care about that matter at all, he was even more delighted:

"Good boy, you are worthy of being my favorite. On the day of the martial arts champion exam, I felt that we must have a good temper. Sure enough, it's settled. I'm going back first."

"Remember, you have been busy these days, come to my house to propose marriage"

After saying this, he mounted his horse and led his servants all the way into the city gate.

How did it come to this? This old man has an even more irritable temper than him.

Yan Kuan returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion in a daze. The matter of Prince Xiang was imminent, and since he had made a great contribution this time, it was believed that his final official position and residence would be decided soon.

He turned his ankle and felt that nothing was wrong. Thanks to Xie Lian's good care during the past half month, he recovered so quickly. He immediately went in to thank his boss.

As a result, he was stopped outside the door.

The butler looked embarrassed and bowed:

"Deputy General Yan, the Prime Minister has ordered that you already have a place to go, so we will not take you in."

Yan Kuan felt like he was struck by a bolt from the blue and was kicked out.

What's the situation?

Feeling confused and aggrieved, he said, "Can you let me go in and see the Prime Minister so I can ask him clearly?"

It’s not that I can’t go somewhere else, but why is this happening? What kind of evil fire is igniting me?

On the way back, he was fine. Yan Kuan thought about it carefully. It was what the Duke of Zhenguo said just now. Yes, Xie Lian's face was not good at that time.

Could it be that he likes Lu Jing? Yes, just now the Duke of Zhenguo called Xie Lian his nephew, so he and that lady must be childhood sweethearts.

Yan Kuan didn't know why he felt a little sad when he thought about Xie Lian rejecting him for that woman...

The housekeeper said in embarrassment: "The Prime Minister has entered the palace and will probably be back in the evening."

Yan Kuan glanced at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, stood up, mounted his horse, rode out, and turned away at such a high speed.

The butler didn't know why his prime minister was like this. He clearly felt that he admired Yan Kuan very much. He shook his head and thought that he was old and couldn't understand the affairs of young people.

At night, Xie Lian returned to the Prime Minister's residence with a slightly red face. The housekeeper could smell the alcohol from a distance, but his Prime Minister walked very steadily, but his tongue was a little stammered when he spoke:

"He, where are the others?"
