"I just wrote my resignation application, but I haven't gotten the approval yet..."

Private Garfield racked his brains and finally came up with such a reason. Since his application for resignation has not been approved, he is still the commander of the Imperial Guard.

But I don't know that his opponent is a social man who has lived for three lifetimes.

"Oh, then I'll approve it right away."

While talking, Chen Xing picked up the resignation application on the table without looking at the content, and picked up a pen in hand to sign.

"Wait!" Garfield couldn't help reaching out his hands.

"What's the matter?" Chen Xing looked up at the legion commander across the desk, with doubts written on his face.

"Even if I don't have an official position now, as a law-abiding kingdom citizen, I also have the right to report problems to the kingdom's highest consul."

Garfield said seriously, this is probably the most reasonable rhetoric he can think of.

"What did you just say?" Chen Xing didn't seem to understand, and looked at Garfield blankly.

"I mean, even if I don't have an official position now..."

As soon as Garfield started to repeat it, he was interrupted mercilessly by Chen Xing, "Don't you think it is against common sense if you are a commoner, come directly to the highest consul to respond to the problem?"

"There are hundreds of millions of people in the kingdom. If everyone came to me and talked to me like you did, I would be drowned in saliva in less than five minutes."

"I am the Prime Minister of the Kingdom. I am busy with my business and manage my daily tasks. I don't have the time to listen to the short, trivial things of your common people."

"If you really want to report the problem, please turn around and go out, first go to the local civil affairs bureau for the record, report the problem to them, and then report it layer by layer."

"If there are fewer things this year, I might see your report at this time next year, thank you!"

Chen Xing fired cannonballs in a row, making Garfield dumbfounded and speechless, but he said so reasonably that he couldn't think of a rebuttal.

"What are you doing in a daze? You can leave when I finish signing your resignation application." Chen Xing raised the pen and asked to sign.

"Wait, please wait!"

Garfield repeatedly stopped. Chen Xing frowned and glanced at the other person, looking a little impatient, "What do you mean?"

"I..." Garfield was embarrassed, he stopped talking. He had been in the water and fire in his whole life, but it was the first time he encountered such a difficult thing, so that his mind was completely blank and he didn't know what to say.

"Do I approve or not approve your resignation application?" Chen Xing asked. He is helping Garfield to say what he wants to say. The other party only needs to nod or shake his head. In short, it is the skill of communicating with kindergarten children.

"For now, wait for a while..." Garfield said intermittently. Although he realized there was a problem in his words, he couldn't figure it out in such a short time.

"For the time being?" Chen Xing raised the volume, "You mean for the time being?"

"The commander of the Imperial Guard, the important minister of the country, there is still a temporary resignation?" Chen Xing looked at the commander on the opposite side from the desk, as if looking at a fool.

Perhaps Chen Xing's question was too sharp and his eyes were too sharp, so that Garfield felt a dull pain on his face, and even the corners of his mouth twitched.

This is definitely the most embarrassing scene he has ever encountered in his life. He would rather stay in the dangerous zero zone for a month than stay in the other party's office for half a second.

If there is a crack on the ground now, he will definitely get in without hesitation.

"Then are you resigning or not resigning now?" Chen Xing did not let the scene remain cold, and took the initiative to ask questions.

"I..." Garfield was an honest man after all, and his face wasn't thick enough to say anything back and forth.

So Chen Xing helped him.

"Then you are not going to resign?" As he said, he snapped the resignation application to the other party with a "pop", "If you don't resign, take the application back!"

Garfield was still in a daze, and subconsciously picked up the application in front of him.

"Master Marquis, please sit down!"

Chen Xing's attitude suddenly changed a hundred and eighty degrees, and he kindly invited Garfield to sit down.

Garfield was stunned and didn't react. He was dumbfounded, feeling like he was dreaming.

Since he didn't resign, he was the commander of the Imperial Guard and the important minister under his hand, so he would naturally be good at entertaining him.

"Aiyin, serve tea to Lord Marquis."

"Received instructions."

Aiyin soon brought tea and cakes, and now Chen Xing had no servants around, so she had to let her, the liaison officer, do it.

After a while, the honest man's brain circuit finally turned.

Garfield took a deep breath, calmed his mind, cleared his thoughts, and asked seriously, "My Prime Minister, I'm here to ask you this time, why are our officers arrested?"

He had to convince him, at least in the matter of playing tricks, the other party completely crushed him.

Chen Xing did not continue to go around the corner, and asked, "You mean Viscount Pacas?"

Garfield nodded, "Yes."

"Viscount Pacas is suspected of collaborating with the enemy and treason, disturbing the military's mind, and has been arrested by trial." Chen Xing said.

"Is there any evidence?" Garfield asked.

"The evidence is naturally there," Chen Xing said.

"Then ask the prime minister to publish the evidence of his collaborating with the enemy and treason, otherwise..." Garfield raised his voice, "I'm afraid the brothers below will not accept it!"

Looking at the serious army commander, Chen Xing smiled and asked, "What will happen if they don't agree?"

Garfield didn't expect Chen Xing to be so straightforward. He just wanted to warn the opponent through hints not to pinch their Janissaries as soft persimmons.

"Are you trying to say that they will rebel for this, right?" Chen Xing said.

Garfield didn't know how to answer, so he was silent.

"The kingdom gives so much money a year, because it is a little thing to die, even at the cost of launching a rebellion, such a troop can still be raised to do, just withdraw it."

Chen Xing said in a speech, the honest man Garfield clenched his fist, and his veins appeared.

Seeing that the conflict was imminent, Chen Xing's conversation suddenly changed, "But..." He smiled, "As the commander of the Imperial Guard, it is a matter of one sentence to keep the officers under your command."

When Liu Anhua was in another village, Chen Xing closed Garfield's door and opened another window for him.

The change was so fast that Garfield couldn't turn his head a little, and said stiffly, "Then please let the Prime Minister release Viscount Pacas."

"It's okay to release people, but there are some things I must remind..." Chen Xing turned on the black watch and projected the image onto the big screen.

"As long as the prime minister appoints a subordinate officer as the commander of the army, the subordinate officer must be conscientious and dedicated to his duties, and will be loyal to the prime minister, and will never be distracted."

"With a word from the prime minister, he will go through the fire and water, and he will not hesitate!"

On the screen, Viscount Pacas stood upright, vowing to himself.

"The person you want to protect, first suggested that I use the Kingdom Ring to take over the Imperial Guard, and then proposed to me to appoint him as the commander of the army after you submitted your resignation application."

"Even if it is such a person, you still want to protect him?" Chen Xing asked.

"Brother Guards, we are in the same spirit." Garfield said in a deep voice, "He just committed a terrible mistake, and he is also my soldier!"

"As long as it is my soldier, there is no reason to be unsafe!" Garfield's tone was firm, loud and upright.

A trace of doubt flashed in Chen Xing's eyes.

Something is abnormal.

Even if his subordinates tried to seek power, Garfield, as the chief, still did not hesitate to protect him.

Is this Garfield broad-minded, or is there another reason?

As the saying goes, if something goes wrong, there must be a demon.

This is Ice Blue City, and no matter how honest an official is, it is impossible to be indifferent to the betrayal of his subordinates.

If you really look so open, then what kind of official is it? Wouldn't it be a good idea to go home to cultivate the land and enjoy the idyllic scenery?

All those who stand on this power stage are those who want to be high-ranking officials and do big things.

Since he is such a person, there is no reason to be able to endure the betrayal of his subordinates.

Chen Xing was keenly aware that there must be something tricky in it.

Looking back on it carefully, when Garfield saw the video, his expression seemed quite calm and he did not appear surprised at all.

In other words, Garfield probably knew in advance!

"Slap!" "Slap!" "Slap!"

After figuring out the joints, Chen Xing slapped his palms, with a playful smile on his face, and exclaimed, "You guards really have deep brotherhood..."

Garfield didn't know what tricks Chen Xing was going to play. He kept a serious poker face and said nothing.

"Faced with the subordinates who are plotting badly, but they are still calm, let me guess, what is the reason?"

"The commander of the Imperial Guard resigned, and the prime minister rejected all the arguments and promoted a middle-level officer..."

"Then the officer resigned as soon as he turned his head."

When Chen Xing said this, Garfield's expression was already a little unnatural.

"Now the prime minister's face is so embarrassed, maybe from now on, I am embarrassed to ask about the Imperial Guard..."

"Am I right, Lord Marquis?" Chen Xing asked with a smile.

"It's just a guess, there's nothing right." Garfield said stiffly, and then said, "Does that mean that Viscount Pacas's collaborating with the enemy and treason are vain, and can now be acquitted?"

"I think this matter should be judged by the public..." Chen Xing broadcasted the video of Viscount Pacas again, "If I put this video on the Internet and let the people of my country vote, is such an act guilty or not? Sin, I don’t know what the result will be?"

Garfield's face turned pale, his emotions were a little out of control for an instant, his eyes widened, and he roared, "Dare you!"

"Garfield!" Chen Xing slapped the table, equally angry, "Do you know who you are talking to!"

"I am the holder of the Ring of the Kingdom, your immediate boss!"

"Who gave you the right to yell here!"

Garfield's face turned red and white, his fists creaked, but he dared not speak.

As Chen Xing said, he is the immediate boss, and in front of him, the dragon is crouching and the tiger is lying! No matter how unconvinced you are, you have to abide by the basic rules of superiors and subordinates.

"Who I am, Chen Xing, I don't think I need to say much, you have already understood very clearly through newspaper news, through many friends and colleagues."

"Don't ask if I dare to do it, Chen Xing has nothing I dare not to do at all!"

"I went from being a mercenary at the lowest level to where I am today. The difficulties and predicaments I have experienced will only be more than you, not less than you!"

"Don't think that you have some abilities, you can show off in front of me and put on airs!"

"I'm telling you, in this ice blue city, there are no troops under my Chen Xing command!"

With a snap, Chen Xing slapped the Kingdom Ring in front of Garfield, and said viciously, "If there is, let it disappear!"

"Disappear, understand!"

Chen Xing's saliva sprayed on the legion commander's face, but the latter's anger gradually faded.

After a long silence, Garfield said calmly, "Master Prime Minister, let's make a deal."

Seeing the change in Garfield's attitude, Chen Xing also stopped getting angry and sat down again, "tell me."
