Beautiful mayor's wife

The banquet went smoothly, and everyone got along happily.

Ma Xiaoyao is such a person, if you are polite to him, he will be polite to you, basically he will not put on airs.

After the banquet was over, Ma Xiaoyao went back to his room to rest, and the ten ten thousand chiefs also left.

After coming out of the General Military Mansion, the ten ten thousand commanders immediately got rid of the state of drunkenness, and each of them became energetic. After a long time, they were pretending to be drunk.

"Come up, I have something to tell everyone." Ding Xiong shook his head and boarded the carriage.

The other nine people also got into the carriage.

……

The carriage is very spacious, not only is the stove lit, but also tables and chairs are placed, and there are several plates of fruit on the table.

"How is it? What do you think of the new general?" Ding Xiong asked blankly.

Everyone, you look at me and I look at you, but you don't speak.

"Why don't you talk? Aren't you usually good at talking? Why are you all dumb now?" Ding Xiong frowned. Among the ten ten thousand chiefs, he had the oldest qualifications and the best skills, so the one who spoke The tone is a little rushed.

"Ahem..." Wu Haibiao cleared his throat: "Let me say a few words... I think the new commander-in-chief looks pretty easy to talk to... As for his real personality, we need to observe slowly."

"Well, what Old Wu said is right. If you want to understand a person, you need time to observe slowly." Liu Zihao said with a big belly and a smile.

"Don't give me sloppy eyes." Ding Xiong snorted softly: "I know very well what each of you are thinking in your heart. There are no outsiders here. You don't have to be scruples about what you say, just say what you want..." Speaking of here , Ding Xiong paused: "Let me express my position first, Ma Xiaoyao is the chief soldier, I don't accept it, he is only a fifth-level warrior, the same level as me, what right does he have to control me?" The reason why Ding Xiong hates Ma Xiaoyao Another reason is that Ma Xiaoyao used to be his subordinate, and he used to depend on his face to live. Now the positions are suddenly switched, and the subordinate has become the boss. Ding Xiong feels very uncomfortable.

"Old Ding, since you are not convinced, why are you acting so polite today?" Wu Haibiao raised his eyelids: "Isn't this contradictory?"

"Yes, Lao Ding, you respect Ma Xiaoyao very much today." Others also said.

"What do you know?" Ding Xiong curled his lips: "I'm just pretending, no matter what, Ma Xiaoyao is the commander-in-chief appointed by the superiors, I can't be too indifferent, let alone let Ma Xiaoyao take advantage of me. "The most taboo thing in the officialdom is to offend the superior. According to the size of the official position, Ma Xiaoyao is Ding Xiong's boss. If Ding Xiong dares to contradict Ma Xiaoyao, it is a disrespectful superior. At that time, Ma Xiaoyao will have an excuse to deal with Ding Xiong. And no one else can say anything.

"Then what do you say?" Wu Haibiao pouted.

"One thing on the surface, another thing on the back." Ding Xiong said slowly: "On the surface, we should treat him respectfully, so that he can't find any faults. Behind the scenes, we should trip him up and make him make mistakes. In a word, he doesn't want to be the chief soldier safely."

"Okay, I support you." Wu Haibiao was the first to express his opinion: "Speak from the bottom of my heart, let a fifth-level warrior be the chief soldier, I am not convinced!"

"I'm not convinced either!"

"Just listen to Lao Ding, flatter him on the surface, and plot against him behind the scenes. With ten of us working together, we can definitely play him to death."

"Hey, I listen to the big guys, you can do whatever you say, I have no objection."

……

Everyone expressed their opinions one after another.

Seeing that everyone supported his point of view, Ding Xiong was very happy: "Okay, from now on, the ten of us will be an alliance, advance and retreat together, and share happiness!"

"Old Ding, have you ever thought that even if Ma Xiaoyao is gone, the top will still send a new general soldier, maybe another fifth-level warrior." Someone said worriedly.

"Hehe..." Ding Xiong smiled slightly: "I tell you some news, I will soon break through the bottleneck and enter the ranks of sixth-level warriors."

"Really?"

"You're not kidding, are you?"

"Oh, this is a happy event."

"Old Ding, congratulations."

……

Ding Xiong smiled brightly: "It's a bit early for you to congratulate, I haven't broken through the bottleneck yet."

"Oh, it's not a matter of time, Lao Ding, once you become a sixth-level warrior, you will be qualified to compete for the position of chief soldier." Wu Haibiao laughed.

"Well, I won't hide it from you, I do have this idea." Ding Xiong nodded: "And I'm already in operation, and I promise you now that as long as I become the chief soldier, I will reward you well. The White Tiger Banner Barracks is our world."

"Okay, I'm relieved with your words."

"Old Ding... oh no, I should call you Zongbing Ding, please take care of me in the future."

"It's all right now, Lao Ding will be the chief soldier, and our life will be easier."

"We must celebrate tonight, go to the best restaurant, eat the best food, and drink the best wine!"

……

No matter what everyone thinks in their hearts, they are very happy on the surface anyway, and they keep complimenting Ding Xiong.

"It's easy to talk about." Ding Xiong said with a smile: "I'm treating guests tonight, you can eat whatever you want, don't be polite to me." Speaking of this, Ding Xiong's words changed: "But there is one thing, what we said today It must be kept secret, absolutely not told to other people, not even your wives, especially my plan for the general army must be kept secret."

"Don't worry, we will keep it a secret."

"Yes, we won't talk nonsense."

"Put your heart in your stomach. This matter is related to our future, and we will definitely keep it secret."

……

Everyone patted their chests to promise not to leak the secret.

"Well, well, let's talk about this today. Everyone, go back and rest. I will hold a banquet in Yuxiang Garden tonight. Remember to come here early." Ding Xiong said with a smile, Yuxiang Garden is the best restaurant in Baihu City, not only the environment is good , the food is also delicious, and it is very popular with everyone. Of course, the food in Yuxiangyuan is very expensive, and most people can't afford it.

"Okay, we will definitely go." After agreeing on a time to meet, everyone left the carriage one after another.

……

General military mansion.

In the backyard hall.

Ma Xiaoyao was sitting on a chair with a golden knife, holding a cup of tea in his hand and slowly sipping, sitting on his left was a person, an old acquaintance, he was Gu Zhiqiu, the chief steward of the General Military Mansion.

After the banquet, Ma Xiaoyao called Gu Zhiqiu over.

Gu Zhiqiu's mood at the moment is very complicated. A few days ago, Ma Xiaoyao was still a fugitive, living a miserable life. Unexpectedly, the situation suddenly changed in a few days. Ma Xiaoyao became the chief soldier, and the fugitive His identity was also revoked. This accident was so shocking that Gu Zhiqiu felt like he was dreaming until now.

"Brother Gu, you must have many questions in your heart, right?" Ma Xiaoyao looked at Gu Zhiqiu with a smile.

"Eh..." Gu Zhiqiu squeezed out a smile: "I'm really surprised... I really didn't expect you... to become the chief soldier..."

"To be honest, I didn't expect it either." Ma Xiaoyao shook his head: "God treated me well this time, and gave me a chance to feel proud."

Gu Zhiqiu smiled and didn't speak, mainly because he didn't know what to say.

"Brother Gu, speaking of which, we are also considered friends. You have helped me, and I will definitely not treat you badly." Ma Xiaoyao said, "In this way, you will still be your big housekeeper, and you will be responsible for what you are usually responsible for. Apart from me, there is no one else." People can order you."

"Ah?" Gu Zhiqiu was stunned: "You still let me be the housekeeper?"

"Yes." Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "Not only will I let you be the housekeeper, but I will also give you Han Mingguang's second wife, so that you can be together in a fair and honest manner in the future."

"Thank you, Mr. Zongbing, for your kindness. I don't want to be the housekeeper anymore." Gu Zhiqiu shook his head: "I want to leave here, and please be fulfilled by Mr. Zongbing. As for Han Mingguang's second wife... I have already broken up with her. come and go..."

"What? Do you have a problem with me?" Ma Xiaoyao's expression darkened.

"No, no, no, how dare I have an opinion on you." Gu Zhiqiu waved his hands hastily: "It's my own problem. I have been the housekeeper for many years, and I am really tired. I want to go home and recuperate."

"Tired? I can arrange a few more subordinates for you. From now on, you will lead the overall situation and leave the trivial matters to the people below." Ma Xiaoyao said.

"No, I really don't want to be the housekeeper anymore." Gu Zhiqiu's attitude was very firm.

"Brother Gu, I am sincerely trying to keep you, you won't even give me this bit of face?" Ma Xiaoyao said in a dissatisfied tone, "Do you know how I became the chief soldier?" Zhiqiu replied, and Ma Xiaoyao continued, "It was appointed by the emperor himself."

"What? The emperor personally appointed him?" Gu Zhiqiu's eyes suddenly widened.

"Yes, it's the emperor." Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "The emperor appreciates me very much, that's why he promoted me. Let me tell you the truth, I won't be the chief soldier for long, and I will definitely go to the imperial city to develop in the future. At that time, I hope that the person who will take over as the chief soldier will be you."

"Me?" The corner of Gu Zhiqiu's mouth twitched violently.

"It's you." Ma Xiaoyao nodded very positively: "I know you have some doubts in your heart, wondering whether I have the ability to help you become the chief soldier... Let me tell you one more thing, the emperor owes me a big favor, No matter what condition I ask, as long as it is within a reasonable range, he will agree."

Gu Zhiqiu suddenly fell silent. The temptation to be the general soldier is still great, at least he can't refuse. He has been the chief steward of the general soldier's mansion for so many years, and he knows the position of the general soldier very well. To put it bluntly, the general soldier is the overlord of a party , in Baihu City, he is the Emperor of Earth, with terrifying power, who can determine life and death with one word. If Gu Zhiqiu can really become the chief soldier, then his future life will be comfortable.

"What? You don't want to?" Ma Xiaoyao slightly raised his eyebrows: "Or do you doubt my words?"

Gu Zhiqiu was silent for a moment, and asked: "I am not related to you, why do you help me like this?"

"Even if you don't ask, I will tell you." Ma Xiaoyao smiled slightly: "In this world, there is no hatred without reason, and there is no love without reason. There are conditions for me to help you."

"What conditions?" Gu Zhiqiu asked in a deep voice.

"It's very simple." Ma Xiaoyao didn't go around the bush, and stated his conditions directly: "During my tenure, I need you to help me stabilize the situation and settle the thorns below. , the people below will definitely not obey me, so I need your help."

"You seem to think too highly of me." Gu Zhiqiu twisted his lips: "I'm just a housekeeper, but I can't help you stabilize the situation."

"You are not an ordinary butler." Ma Xiaoyao shook his head: "You are the chief steward of the General Military Mansion, and every day you come into contact with such figures as the Commander-in-Chief and the Commander-in-Chief. A friendship was created. Besides, you used to be a popular person around Han Mingguang, and the following commanders and commanders will definitely try to please you. I hope you can speak a few words of kindness for them in front of Han Mingguang... Let’s not talk about other things, let’s just talk about the contact surface, you know the details of those commanders and commanders very well, I’m new here, my eyes are darkened, I don’t understand anything, I really need someone like you to help me.”

Gu Zhiqiu took a deep look at Ma Xiaoyao: "I didn't expect that my status in your heart is quite high."

"Tall, very tall." Ma Xiaoyao nodded seriously: "You are the Jiang Ziya in my heart! I really need your help. Of course, I won't let you work for nothing, as long as you are sincere Help me, I will guarantee you to be the chief soldier in the future."

"Can you let me think about it?" Gu Zhiqiu was visibly moved.

"Okay, I'll give you time to think about it." Ma Xiaoyao nodded.

Afterwards, both of them stopped talking, Ma Xiaoyao sat on a chair and drank tea, while Gu Zhiqiu frowned and thought hard.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and half an hour passed without knowing it.

Just when Ma Xiaoyao got a little impatient waiting, Gu Zhiqiu finally made a final decision: "Okay, I promise you, I will help you, but you must swear that you will help me become the chief soldier in the future."

"No problem." Ma Xiaoyao immediately raised his hand and made a poisonous oath.

"Lord Chief Soldier, I will be your soldier from now on. I will do whatever you ask me to do, and I will never hold you back." Gu Zhiqiu had already adjusted his position at this moment, stood up and saluted Ma Xiaoyao.

"From now on, we will be our own people, so you don't need to be so polite, come, sit down and talk." Ma Xiaoyao waved his hands with a smile: "By the way, how is the bared tooth beast?"

"It's good. I've been feeding it myself these days. It eats and drinks every day. I guess it's gained weight." Gu Zhiqiu said.

"In this way, find some people to get it out of the swamp, and let it stay in the General Military Mansion from now on." Ma Xiaoyao ordered.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements later." Gu Zhiqiu nodded.

"Brother Gu..."

"Oh, don't call me brother Gu. You are the chief soldier now, and I'm the housekeeper. It's too inappropriate for you to call me that. It's not good for others to hear you. You should just call me by my name."

"Calling you by your name is too old-fashioned, why don't I call you Old Gu."

"Okay, as long as you don't call me Brother Gu."

"Old Gu, help me analyze the situation in front of me, where should I start?" Ma Xiaoyao asked humbly.
