I want to be a good minister

Chapter 342 The Boy You Saw 8, Lord
Cen Xi's relaxed nerves immediately tensed up again. Did the guard named Zhongqi find anything?
"Lord Cen, my master is here to invite you—" Just as Cen Xi was hesitating, a guard was already waiting at the door, speaking respectfully. His black clothes were the same as those of the previous Zhongqi, and he let Cen Xi feel helpless. His eyelids twitched.

Seeing that the task was progressing very smoothly, Cen Xi felt a sense of urgency for the first time. At this critical moment, what would happen if An Xiujun found out that he had deceived him?
Cen Xi wasn't sure, such a long time of hard work couldn't just be wiped out because of her status. Cen Xi gritted her teeth, and she could only take one step forward.

Cen Xi then took a step towards the main hall.

"Your Highness—" Cen Xi said respectfully, not daring to touch the man in front of him.

"Cen Jing, these are the king's personal guards." An Xiujun's expression didn't change at all, he even took a step forward and pulled Cen Xi into the middle.

"Zhong Sixteen, from now on, Master Cen's hidden guards will be handed over to you." An Xiujun said, a guard who came in after hearing this was taken aback, but then quickly knelt on the ground.

"As ordered—"

"My lord, please stand up." Cen Xi felt a little uncomfortable, and wanted to ask An Xiujun to take back his orders.

If Cen Xi didn't know the identities of these personal guards, maybe he just thought they were just ordinary guards, which is understandable.

But Cen Xi knew that the identities of each of these personal guards were not simple. These people were not Houzhao people, but members of the ancient Pu clan of Taikoo, and even the mysterious power left behind by the queen mother of Anxiu.

Cen Xi also understood at this time, why the system did not prompt at that time.

These people can be selected into the personal guards and become Mr. An Xiu's personal guards. Each of them has a special ability.

More importantly, these people only obey the orders of An Xiujun.

Back then, Queen Houzhao encountered an accident. Before she fell into a coma, she handed over the rights of the personal guards to Mr. An Xiu. Over the years, in order to protect the safety of the queen, Mr. An Xiu never used the power of the personal guards, and still let them guard the queen. Qing Gong protected his mother, leaving only Sui Sheng and Sui Ru by his side.

Therefore, it is no wonder that the guard was surprised when An Xiujun said such words at this moment, and Cen Xi naturally did not dare to accept it.

"Your Highness—" Cen Xi said quietly, with eager eyes, Your Highness, Cen Jing, I am a small person, and I don't need the protection of the ancient Pu clan.

An Xiujun immediately looked back at Cen Xi, signaling her to be calm, and then spoke again.

"Let's retreat first, the king has something to discuss with Mr. Cen—" An Xiujun followed up, and several personal guards retreated immediately.

"Your Highness, please take back your life. Although Jing is not proficient in martial arts, there is no problem in self-protection. Please take back your life." Cen Xi knelt down and said immediately when he saw people leave.

Besides, how inconvenient it would be for her to have one more person by her side.

"Cen Jing, there are 30 personal guards for this king, and only one is missing by your side. Why not?" An Xiujun immediately disagreed, and was even slightly displeased. He thought the man in front of him had received such a great honor. Will be very happy, thank you Dade.

"Since that's the case, thank you, Your Highness, Jing." Seeing this, Cen Xi knew that it would be useless to say more. Perhaps, there might be other purposes besides protection.

Cen Xi is not guessing randomly, she naturally does not doubt An Xiujun's trust in her, but besides An Xiujun, An Xiujun also has a national teacher and a queen by his side, these people will doubt herself, if this is the national teacher The meaning of it, or the meaning of others, only Anxiu-jun would cheerfully take it as a kindness, with a ostentatious expression.

"That's right—" Seeing this, Mr. Anxiu nodded in satisfaction, and then sat on the main seat.

"Cen Jing, I'm afraid we have to go back. The Imperial Guard has sent news that the personal guards have successfully eliminated a Soul Eater and found a way to control the Soul Eater. Therefore, we are safe now." An Xiujun His eyes are as bright as stars, "King Lu will also be in Anze County in the next few days. He thinks that with Zhihuashi, he can compete with the national teacher. He doesn't even think about it, but behind this king is the Taikoo Pu family."

Cen Xi listened quietly to what the man in front of him said.

The situation of Houzhao country is not at all as simple as that of Beichang country. When it comes to power struggles, there are only public and secret ones. Therefore, Cen Xi previously thought that the relationship between Houzhao country is simple, but she has no experience.

King Lu, the only younger brother of the lord of Houzhao Kingdom, has been pampered since he was a child. He has no intention of fighting for power and profit.

However, in recent years, the Lord of the Houzhao Kingdom has been blindly focusing on sectarian affairs, ignoring the government, and vigorously supporting the development of the sect. He insisted on making a hundred flowers bloom, which led to the gradual breeding of a lot of dark forces in the Houzhao Kingdom.

Two years ago, a man named Zhihuashi controlled the most powerful sect in the southeast world, and quickly became King Lu's great assistant, which slowly fueled King Lu's ambition.

However, the national teacher and others focused all their energy on dealing with the soul eater, so they ignored the King Lu who was at their feet, which led to the current situation.

"Your Highness, next..." Cen Xi said slowly, feeling a little worried in his heart. The three counties of Anze have never been the focus. Now, are they going back to Fudu?

"Back to Fudu, the national teacher's prediction is really good. This soul eater is indeed inseparable from Zhihuashi, but now, there is no need to be afraid of Zhihuashi." An Xiujun said immediately.

Cen Xi bowed his head, it was as expected.

"Your Highness, Jing has an unfeeling request, and I would like your Highness to fulfill it—" Cen Xi took a step back, bowed respectfully, and said seriously.

"Cen Jing, what kind of relationship do you have with this king? It doesn't have to be like this. If you have something to say, speak quickly—" An Xiujun waved his hand, this kid just respects these vain courtesy.

"Your Highness, the construction of the dam in Lingze County has just started, Jing begs you to stay in Lingze County and wait until the dam is completed before leaving—" Cen Xi had a reason to think so.

What she has to do from the beginning to the end is to establish a Fengyun detection system. Now that there are funds and talents, and Mr. Li has heard the news, then at that time, as long as she discusses all her ideas with Mr. Li, then Hou Zhaoguo With just one more professional talent, the subsequent construction of water conservancy construction and wind and cloud inspection projects will be much happier.

But all of this is based on the successful construction of the dams in Kuishan County, Lingze County, and Anze County, and achieved great success.Therefore, there must be no mistakes in the first step, and she must keep an eye on every process.

Although Cen Xi didn't have the sense of urgency to complete the task and go back when he just closed his eyes at the beginning, but his longing for home increased with time.

So, seeing that the main mission is very clear now, she doesn't want to make any more detours, and wants to complete the mission step by step.

Cen Xi was immersed in his own heart, but he didn't notice that the hall suddenly became quiet. When Cen Xi found out, when he raised his head, he saw An Xiujun looking at him with a dark and sullen face.

Cen Xi opened his mouth, and was about to speak, but An Xiujun had already spoken first.

"Cen Jing, are you lying to me? Are those promises made casually?" An Xiujun's voice was full of displeasure, and without Cen Xi guessing, it was obvious that the man was in a state of collapse the edge of.
