These words made Yang Xiao's blood boil. He prided himself on not being someone who lusted after rank and titles, but there are some things you simply can't do if you're not in the right position. He… he wanted into the Ministry too badly!
After that night, the relationship between Yang Xiao and Zhao Jingde underwent a qualitative leap. Zhao Jingde not only helped him plot out how to ensure a smooth transfer of power within the Han Family, he even took the initiative to send over two whole crates stuffed with blackmail dossiers and dirty secrets on all the major families in Jiangbei Province. You couldn't ask for more sincerity.
Seeing all this, Yang Xiao knew Zhao Jingde was now completely on the same boat as him, and he himself intended to honor his promise: in future he would make sure that once Zhao Jingde stepped down, he'd land safely, spend the rest of his life in peace and stability.
