Hm! After hearing what Shauna said, Tang Yin secretly nodded his head, she was not the kind of person who would compromise when doing favors.

Shauna told Tang Yin exactly how he had tested Qi Heng and how Qi Heng had answered him. In the end, he concluded that Qi Heng was a courageous and scheming person, a loyal, humble, calm, and patient person who was willing to obey the King's orders. He was a very important person.

Tang Yin respected and valued Shauna's perspective, and he had yet to express his gratitude towards Qi Heng for saving Shauna, so he used this as an excuse to find Qi Heng and personally ask him.

After being summoned by the King at this time, even an idiot like Qi Heng could guess the reason. His whole heart was in his throat, whether or not he would be able to accomplish anything in the future would all depend on this.

In the Duke Palace's study room, Qi Heng saw Tang Yin, bowed to him, and then stood to the side obediently.

After waiting for a while, Tang Yin finished reading the imperial edict. He smiled at Qi Heng, pointed at the seat opposite him, and said: "General Qi, please sit!"

"Thank you, your majesty!" Qi Heng carefully sat on the soft cushion in front of Tang Yin. His lower abdomen was tightened, his head was lowered, and he sat upright.

"Do you know?" Tang Yin lifted the teacup, took a shallow peck, and said: "Shauna came here to persuade me for you, and asked me to appoint you as Regiment Chief. What do you think?"

Qi Heng could not react in time as he did not expect Tang Yin to ask him so straightforwardly. After pausing for a moment, he hurriedly slid off the soft cushion and kneeled on the ground. He then hurriedly said, "Great King Mingshui, this general absolutely has no ill intentions towards Madam!"

His sudden words caused Tang Yin to be shocked. Yeah, he knows that there's nothing between Shauna and Qi Heng, is there really a need for him to say it in front of him?

Although some servants had come to him recently to make small talk about Shauna and Qi Heng being too close, Tang Yin could understand that People of Bessa City was a passionate and martial artist from the start. Shauna might admire Qi Heng and even like Qi Heng, but it was not the kind of love between a man and a woman.

He stared at Qi Heng in disbelief. After a while, he burst out into laughter and said, "Qi Heng, you don't think that the reason I called you out this time was to suspect that you and my wife are having an affair, do you?"

Qi Heng shuddered and hurriedly said, "No, no, no, of course not, this general does not dare."

Tang Yin waved his hand, allowing him to sit up, then said: "I heard that the last time you tried to assassinate Madam Ye, were all the assassins from Mo Country?"

"Yes, my lord!" The identity of those assassins have been mostly verified, and the majority of them are from neither the help nor the faction. Some of them even come from the middle and small Ranger Gang of the Mo Country. "

"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded, and laughed: It was you who killed them all?

"Yes."

"They are all so lonely!"

"No matter who it is, to have ill intentions towards Madam, even if they are the enemies of Feng Country, they are still Qi Heng's enemies!"

"Well said!" Tang Yin laughed: "I am also very happy that you have such loyalty. Shauna said that you have mastered the strategies, tactics, formations, and techniques of Cavalry Regiment very quickly, and I also have the intention to promote you to become a Regiment Chief. I wonder, are you willing to stay in the Directly Subordinate Army that was formed long ago, or do you want to start a new army? "

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Qi Heng said seriously, "For this general to have such a day, it all depends on the king's kindness towards this general. No matter which legion this king wishes for this general to join, this general will do it from the bottom of his heart."

"Is that so?" Tang Yin blinked his eyes, a sharp light flashing through them as they landed on Qi Heng's body, as if they could see into the depths of his heart.

Qi Heng's heart trembled, he looked straight into Tang Yin's eyes, and subconsciously lowered his head, but he soon realised that something was amiss. Right now was the time for the King to probe him, what would happen if he showed fear?

He forced himself to raise his head, secretly took a deep breath, met Tang Yin's eyes, and said with a booming voice: "This general is loyal to the King, the heaven and earth are witness to this, and the sun and moon can be seen, if there are any empty words, even if my body were to be smashed into smithereens, I will die without regrets!"

That was the truth. No matter what methods he used secretly, he did not have any ill intentions toward Tang Yin. Therefore, when he expressed his loyalty, he was not afraid of looking Tang Yin in the eye.

For Tang Yin, it was enough as long as he could see through Qi Heng's loyalty. As for saving Shauna, although there was something fishy about him killing the assassin, it was not important.

He smiled and nodded, revealing his white canine teeth as he said slowly, "Remember what you said today. As long as your loyalty remains, no matter what mistakes you make in the future, there will still be room for manoeuvre. However, if you change your mind and hide yourself, no matter how well you do, you will still have a head to sleep and no head to get out of bed. "

Cold sweat ran down his neck and into his collar. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying with a trembling voice, "This lowly general has long made up his mind. I vow to follow the King until the end of my life. I will never give up!"

"Stand up!" The sinister smile on Tang Yin's face disappeared, then became a brilliant and harmless smile, and said: "Tomorrow, at Morning Meeting, I will publicly appoint you as. Also, how about Ye Tang, Gao Yu become your Vice General?"

Qi Heng kneeled on the ground, his heart beating so fast that it seemed as if it would leap out of his throat. The muscles on his face were trembling.

Tang Yin laughed: "Alright! Go back and prepare. " With that, he took out three pieces of silk from the table and handed them to Qi Heng. "There are three houses here with sketches and locations drawn on them. Choose one and inform the Prime Minister Shangguan."0

"Thank you, my lord!" Qi Heng hurriedly took the silk. Not daring to look at Tang Yin's face any further, he held it in both hands, kowtowed to express his gratitude and left the study room with his head lowered.

After he left, Shauna came out from behind the wall in the study, smiling as she came to Tang Yin's side. She leaned on his shoulder and sat down, laughing: "General Qi seems to have performed pretty well!"

Tang Yin gave a bland laugh, shrugged and said: "Qi Heng is quite the schemer, he is not someone an ordinary boorish man can compare to."

Shauna said: "Cavalry Regiment Master needs talented people with quick thinking and quick reactions. Only by doing this can you adapt to the situation on the battlefield and defeat the enemy easily."

Tang Yin lightly pinched her fair and delicate cheeks, and said: "I don't really understand how Heavy Cavalry fights, so I respect your opinion."

It was rare for him to have the initiative in front of Tang Yin, so Shauna was very proud of himself. She nestled into Tang Yin's embrace, her face flushed red, while stroking his sharp chin, she asked softly: "Husband, have you finished your chores, can you do your proper work now?"

Tang Yin was startled for a moment, then laughed out loud, pinched her nose and said: "Doing 'proper work' again, you want to squeeze me dry?!" After saying that, he suddenly turned around, and had already pressed Shauna down below him.

The next day, Tang Yin was indeed announced in front of everyone. He was promoted to Middle General and assumed the position of Ninth Regiment's Regiment Chief, Ye Tang and Gao Yu were promoted to Middle General, becoming the Ninth Regiment's vice commander-in-chiefs.

In the past few days, the Regiment Chief s of the Ninth Regiment had finally settled down. In regards to the King giving Qi Heng such an important position, they made some surprises, but there were some who weren't surprised at all, as if they had expected this to happen.

Guo Jue is one of them, Cai Gui is one of them.

After the imperial court dispersed, Cai Gui took his time to walk, he was right at the back, walking shoulder to shoulder with Qiu Zhen, he sighed while shaking his head: "How wise!"

Qiu Zhen looked at Cai Gui strangely, he did not know what Cai Gui was muttering to himself, and asked: "Who is Master Cai praising?"

"Of course it's the General Qi. No, it's time to call him Marshal Qi." Cai Gui laughed and asked: "Does Prime Minister Qiu not think that he is wise?"

Qiu Zhen was so smart, of course he understood why Cai Gui said that. He pretended to be confused and asked: "What's so good about General Qi?"

Cai Gui laughed and said: "If I knew that Regiment Chief was so easy to fight for, I would have asked for a group of assassins to pretend to assassinate my wife. At the moment of crisis, I would have asked someone to come forward and save my wife.

"Pu!" Hearing that, Qiu Zhen almost choked on his own saliva. He grabbed onto Cai Gui's wrist and stopped walking. He warned in a low voice, "Master Cai, you can't speak carelessly about this sort of thing."

Cai Gui restrained his smile and looked at Qiu Zhen with a deeper meaning: "Whether or not this official is spouting nonsense, the Prime Minister Qiu must have already figured it out. Qi Heng is just a martial arts man, he can do battles, but this kind of scheme, if one does not have guidance from the others, how would he be able to think it through. The King is most afraid of forming alliances, civil and military collusion, the Prime Minister Qiu, as the King's arm, the backbone of the imperial court, cannot be avoided, and cannot be ignored! " With that, Cai Gui cupped his hands and bowed towards Qiu Zhen, then quickly left.

Feng Ren might still be able to tolerate the fact that no one was allowed to occupy a high position in the imperial court, but Cai Gui could not tolerate the fact that the Ning Ren was already a lowly person, and if he was stepped on by another person, how could he tolerate it.

He purposely did not make his words clear, leaving Qiu Zhen the space to think about it. This made Qiu Zhen's heart tremble, Cai Gui definitely did not have good intentions in front of him, but his words were not unreasonable.

Looking at Cai Gui's back, Qiu Zhen secretly sighed, the fighting spirit of the imperial court was no worse than a battlefield where a life and death battle was imminent, he did not know how many generals who were valiant and invincible on the battlefield had died in the battles of the imperial court.

In the past, the imperial court of Feng Country was filled with people from the wind, and everyone followed Tang Yin to build their own house, they were very familiar with each other, and even if there were differences, they would not leave behind any knot in their hearts, and could be resolved with a few words, but now there were more people in the imperial court, Ning and Mo, and I am afraid that the imperial court will no longer be as friendly as it was before.

This was something that made Qiu Zhen even more upset than forming a alliance.
