"If you are willing, I will submit a request to Your Majesty to transfer you to the Ministry of Revenue. How does that sound?"
"Thank you for your promotion, My Lord, but members of the Bureau of Assassins cannot be transferred to other government offices," the adjutant replied. "However, I can ask Lord Han Xiao for permission to remain as your personal bodyguard."
"That works too." Wei Kongxin nodded. He knew very well that the adjutant before him was already a trusted confidant, and through today's events, he had witnessed the man's absolute loyalty. Having been through this together, their mutual understanding was deeper, which would make handling future matters much easier. Moreover, the agents of the Bureau of Assassins were elusive; having one guard his side meant that even if Han Xiao sent someone to monitor him later, he would not be in any grave danger.
