NOVEL WEB Chapter 43 - Lamplighters' Government Office
Imperial Guards Government Office!
”My lord, take me with you, the Lamplighters are unruly, your lordship is going to the Lamplighters, surely you need some of your own people to help, I want to serve your lordship!”
Inside the military tent, Li Xi clenched his fists and half-kneeled down, his eyes saying firmly.
Xia Chen looked deeply at Li Xi and spoke in a deep, solemn voice.
We are all serving His Majesty, as a human subject, we are all just sharing His Majesty’s worries and difficulties, get up, for the sake of you bringing me Goubuli Steamed Buns every day these days, go with me!
Xia Chen waved his hand and helped Li Xi to his feet.
‘Thank you, Your Excellency!’
Li Xi said with an excited expression.
‘You go down and get ready first!
Xia Chen watched Li Xi leave before turning to look at the four people behind him, Xia Qian, Xia Hui, Xia Xiao and Xia Kang.
”Xia Qian and Xia Xiao, follow me to the Lamplighters, Xia Hui, you take Xia Kang to develop in the Imperial Guard, you all have meritorious service in your body, the Ministry of War has recorded it, I have already asked for orders for you, in the future you can slowly rise up!
”Young Master, how can this be done, the family master has assigned two of us to Young Master, Young Master is my master, where Young Master goes, we will follow to protect Young Master’s safety!”
Xia Kang was a bit anxious, every Young Master would be assigned a few family soldiers when he left the house, from that moment on, they were tightly bound to the Young Master’s destiny.
From that moment on, they belonged only to Xia Chen and no longer to the entire Xia family.
I arranged for you to be here, this is another intention, listen to me, besides, there is still someone in the capital who dares to assassinate me, if someone really comes to assassinate me, there is no difference between two more or two less people!
Xia Chen shook his head, then looked at Xia Hui, he appreciated this Xia Hui.
As far as he knew, Xia Hui had commanded the army back then and possessed a certain amount of Military Strategy, and had retired from the army over the years, and hadn’t been idle in the Xia residence, being literate and learning Military Strategy.
Even his eldest uncle Xia Qian know this matter, but also examined and taught Xia Hui, and then even personally taught Xia Hui a period of Military Strategy …….
Because he went out of the house, Xia Qian sent Xia Hui to help him.
And these days, Xia Hui’s ability to show, is also quite not bad, Xia Chen felt that letting him serve as a small brigade commander, in charge of a hundred people is simply a bit too condescending.
Young Master, don’t worry, I have me on this side of the Imperial Guard, I will take control of this side of the situation, at least the two hundred people under Young Master now, will always be Young Master’s people!
Xia Hui revealed a smile, looked at Xia Yang with a solemn expression, and said .
……
Lamplighters Government Office!
On the central avenue, just a hundred metres away from the White Tiger Gate of the Imperial Palace, there is a grand and splendid, yet old and rustic building, full of the vicissitudes of time.
The Lamplighters are a group of people who walk in the darkness, but their base camp is located in the light.
Regardless of dignitaries or commoners, all know the exact location of the Lamplighters’ Government Office, but no one has ever dared to approach the Lamplighters’ Government Office within a hundred feet.
Have you heard? Our Eagle Eye Division is going to parachute in a director, and he will report back to take office today! ‘
Parachuted in? Is it the same as the new director of the Shadow Division?
‘Shit! I’m sick of these paratroopers, they all think they know a lot, but they’re really nothing!
‘Alas, since Commander-Chief Lu’s downfall, our Lamplighters are now in a mess, with a sword hanging over their heads, maybe one day it will fall down and take our heads off!
Shut up! Be careful what you say!
……
In front of an office desk, a man held his companion’s mouth tightly.
As he looked around, his expression was incomparably nervous.
You’re crazy to say that, don’t you know that we’re in a tense internal situation right now? Some of the adults have been purified, let’s not get involved with these little people!
There was anger in his companion’s eyes, but reason overcame the anger, and the whole person was impotent, and soon sat paralysed in his position, with no energy left.
Yes, the fights of these big people have nothing to do with us little shrimps, just do your own thing!
Li Wei sighed, knowing that he was indeed a bit tongue-tied right now.
Do you know what this new director is all about?
Zhang Zheng raised an eyebrow.
‘What’s he got to do with me? I don’t know him anyway!
‘You really do know, do you remember the person we received a mission from yesterday afternoon, the one we went to the capital to promote?
Zhang Zheng whispered into Li Wei’s ear.
‘You mean the young Marquis of Zhen Dong Marquis of Zhen Dong …… Xia Chen!’
‘That’s him! He’s the one who parachuted into our Eagle Eye Division Chief.’
Zhang Zheng gave Li Wei a ‘How about that? Are you shocked or not?
”How come it’s him, if I remember correctly, he’s only 17 years old, isn’t that too young?
‘What can be done, what is his origin, moreover, he is the Imperial Son-in-Law, we Lamplighters are His Majesty’s eagle dogs, not to mention His Majesty gave this Xia Chen the position of Director, even if the Commander-in-Chief position is given to Xia Chen, what can be said?
Zhang Zheng sighed, deeply feeling that fate is unfair!
While the two of them were talking, someone hurriedly pushed open the door to the room.
Brothers, hurry up and organise our desks, then clean up, our new director will be here soon!
Xie Ping gasped, then took the initiative to grab a broom and start sweeping up some of the various pieces of paper on the floor.
The crowd looked at each other with some hesitation in their eyes, but in the end, under the leadership of the people, they still got up from their seats and started to move.
So what if they were angry, so what if they were complaining about the injustice of fate?
They are just little people, these big people are fighting, a fallout can smash them, even if the new director is not convinced of this again, and even many people feel that their own son is bigger than the new director, but now the people are the director of the Ministry of Justice, this is an undeniable fact!
They didn’t have the backbone to let others go downhill!
That is the reality!
Fuck! What can be cleaned up, a new yellow-haired child, people are not even here yet, and so pose, but also want us to clean up, to engage in this face project, I do not want to do it!
A young man in his twenties at that time kicked the chair under the seat to the ground, he had a scar on his face from his forehead to his chin, he looked incomparably ugly.
When the crowd saw this young man stand up, they all shrank their heads and then lowered them, their eyes shining.
Right, how could I forget that bastard!
You have no background, no identity, you are a small person, yes, but this prick who has a big identity, a big background!
The current Empress is his aunt, the current Crown Prince is his cousin, this is a real royal family.
I also see him upset, in the Imperial Guard to stay bad, even want to come to our Lamplighters in stirring up the rain, I have heard that the reason why our Commander-in-Chief fell, is because of this kid, everything is this kid single-handedly planning!
Now he dares to come to our Lamplighters, is he looking for death?’ he said.
Another person stood up, he looked about 30 years old and his face was dark at this time.
The crowd’s eyes lit up again, this is Lu Li’s adopted son, it looks like there really is a good show to watch this time!
