Beautiful mayor's wife

"What do you want from me?" Ma Xiaoyao asked.

"My lord, you have been promoted." Gu Zhiqiu said with a smile, "And you are a high-ranking official."

Ma Xiaoyao was stunned: "Promotion? What kind of promotion? What are you talking about? Why can't I understand?"

"Two days ago, the emperor personally issued an order to transfer you to the imperial city to serve as the city guard. This is a high-ranking official, much better than the general army."

"Go to the imperial city to serve as the city guard?"

"Yes, now all the generals and soldiers in the battalion know about it, my lord, you must treat me."

"Why did you transfer me to the imperial city?" Ma Xiaoyao didn't show too much joy: "I have been the commander-in-chief for less than half a year, so I shouldn't be promoted..."

"My lord, although you haven't been the commander in chief for long, you have made a lot of dazzling achievements. Presumably the emperor gave you a promotion because he saw these achievements and Longyan was very happy." Gu Zhiqiu said with a smile.

"Is that true?" Ma Xiaoyao said to himself.

"My lord, promotion is a good thing, you should be happy." Gu Zhiqiu said.

Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "You are right, promotion is indeed a good thing."

"My lord, you want to treat me."

"A treat! Of course we have a treat! Call Tian Zhengang and the others, we won't go home until we're drunk tonight."

……

It took Ma Xiaoyao three days to hand over the military affairs at hand, and then set off for the imperial city. Before leaving, Ma Xiaoyao took Gu Zhiqiu's hand and said emotionally: "Old Gu, thank you for your time." For my support and care, without your help, I would not be able to make so many dazzling achievements, I will propose to the emperor to let you serve as the commander-in-chief of the White Tiger Banner."

"Thank you for your cultivation, my lord! I will work hard and will not disappoint your expectations of me!" Gu Zhiqiu promised.

After exchanging pleasantries with Gu Zhiqiu, Ma Xiaoyao went to say goodbye to Tian Zhengang and others. To be honest, Ma Xiaoyao was really reluctant to leave here, but the imperial decree was hard to disobey, he had to go to the imperial city to take up his post, and Baihu City could only become his memory.

"Everyone take care! Sometimes I will visit everyone back and forth!" Ma Xiaoyao's mood fluctuated a little, he scanned everyone in front of him, and finally he stopped his eyes on Ouyang Zilan, he saw that Ouyang Zilan's eyes were a little bit It was rosy, and it seemed that there were tears in the eyes. Ma Xiaoyao took a deep breath, and then took out a dagger from his arms: "This is my favorite dagger, I named it the black gold dagger, it is very sharp, almost Cut the iron like mud, I will give it to you now as a souvenir." At this point, Ma Xiaoyao stuffed the black gold dagger into Ouyang Zilan's hand.

"I will take good care of this dagger." Ouyang Zilan bit her lip and said, "Come back and see me when you have time."

"Well." Ma Xiaoyao agreed: "After I gain a firm foothold in the imperial city, I will come back to see you, work hard, and improve your cultivation level as soon as possible. Maybe one day you will also be able to come to the imperial city to work. At that time, we We can meet every day."

Ouyang Zilan nodded vigorously: "I will, I will definitely work hard."

"Everyone take care! I'm leaving!" Ma Xiaoyao took one last look at Baihucheng, then turned and left resolutely.

"It's a pity that such a good soldier..." Tian Zhengang let out a sigh.

"I suddenly feel like crying."

"I'm in a bad mood, and I really want to find someone to fight with. Liu Zihao, if you're okay, fight with me."

"Fuck you, I'm not in the mood."

……

The wind picked up, the clouds scattered, the sky suddenly became dark, and a few thunderclaps could be heard vaguely. Judging by the posture, it was estimated that it was going to rain.

Ouyang Zilan stood on a high place, looking into the distance, the tears in her eyes finally couldn't help falling, she really couldn't bear Ma Xiaoyao, just now she really wanted to go with Ma Xiaoyao desperately... But in the end, she was rejected by reason suppressed.

Happy, wait for me!I will go to the imperial city to find you soon.

The sudden transfer directly disrupted Ma Xiaoyao's plan, forcing him to suspend his plan to search for Tiangong map fragments. Before leaving, Ma Xiaoyao deliberately had a deep chat with Hu Yandong and Ouyang Wuwei. The three finally reached a consensus. Xiaoyao went to work in the Imperial City, while Hu Yandong and Ouyang Wuwei went to collect information on the Black Swamp, Random Wind Cave, and Ghost Forest. After the two collected all the information, Ma Xiaoyao must have gained a firm foothold here, and then the three joined forces Go to the Black Swamp, Wind Cave, and Ghost Forest to find pieces of the Tiangong map.

Anyway, just one sentence: the three of them will never be reconciled if they don't find the fragments of the Quantiangong map.

The Imperial City is the largest city in the Secret Realm, it is also the most prosperous city in the Secret Realm, and it is also the center of power in the Secret Realm. There are many dignitaries and dignitaries living here. If you are not careful when you go out, you may provoke important people, so the people living in the Imperial City are very cautious. Be careful, live your own life honestly, never provoke right and wrong, even if someone bullies them, they usually choose to endure it, and will only rise up to resist when they are cornered, of course, this is a rare case .

According to the rules, Ma Xiaoyao took the letter of appointment to report to the Ministry of Officials. The officials of the Ministry of Officials did not embarrass Ma Xiaoyao. He was single-handedly promoted by Jin Tianwei to go to the palace, and Jin Tianwei also single-handedly promoted him to come to the imperial city this time, so Ma Xiaoyao should go to the palace to express his gratitude to Jin Tianwei.

Although he has been to the palace once, Ma Xiaoyao is still a little unfamiliar with the layout of the palace. If there were no guards leading the way, he would definitely get lost.

Entering the Tai Chi Hall, Ma Xiaoyao felt a sense of solemnity. He took a few steps forward, then clasped his hands together, and saluted Jin Tianwei who was sitting on the dragon chair. Kneeling...it was not advocated a long time ago.

"Ma Xiaoyao, you've been very active these days." Jin Tianwei smiled and seemed to be in a good mood.

"I just do what I should do." Ma Xiaoyao replied.

"It's a good sentence to do what you should do! Haha..." Jin Tianwei laughed heartily: "Ma Xiaoyao, you have performed well recently, I am very satisfied, this time I transferred you to the Imperial City under a lot of pressure As the city guard, I hope you will continue to work hard and make more achievements, so as to block other people's tongues and make me look good."

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will work hard and never let you down." Ma Xiaoyao assured loudly.

Jin Tianwei nodded: "I still have great confidence in you. Your only shortcoming is that the martial artist's cultivation base is a little low. You should speed up your training and work hard to improve your martial artist's cultivation base, so that I can arrange more important training for you." job."

"Yes, I wrote it down." Ma Xiaoyao agreed.

"By the way, I heard that you arrested Prince Tiger's son a few days ago?" Jin Tianwei asked seemingly casually.

"There is such a thing." Ma Xiaoyao didn't deny it. Everyone knew about it. Even if he wanted to deny it, it was useless. Instead of being unable to deny it, he might as well admit it directly.

"You are quite courageous." The corners of Jin Tianwei's mouth curled up slightly: "I'm curious, what did you think at the time? Aren't you afraid of offending Prince Tiger?"

"Afraid!" Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "Of course I'm afraid of offending Prince Tiger, but I'm even more afraid of disappointing the emperor's expectations of me!" Having said this, Ma Xiaoyao's expression became serious: "The emperor trusts me, so he let me As the commander-in-chief of the White Tiger Banner, I will of course do my best to repay the emperor's kindness. Hu Wei, the son of Prince Hu, has committed crimes in White Tiger City. He not only robbed businesses, but also beat innocent people. Businessman... Huwei's behavior has severely punished the law. As the commander of the White Tiger Banner, I have the responsibility and obligation to protect the lives and property of the people in Baihu City, so I should arrest Huwei, and then follow the law. Huwei was sentenced to [-] boards, and then imprisoned for another month."

"You have completely offended the Tiger Prince by doing this." Jin Tianwei said, "According to what I know about the Tiger Prince, he will definitely not let you go. , he will definitely attack you, do you think you can withstand the attack of a prince?"

Ma Xiaoyao shook his head consciously: "No!"

"You are quite self-aware." Jin Tianwei smiled: "Let me ask you, if Prince Tiger really attacked you, how would you respond?"

Ma Xiaoyao pondered for a moment, then replied: "Hide if you can, if you can't, you'll have to die."

"The fish is dead and the net is broken! What a boldness!" Jin Tianwei laughed, and the laughter became louder and louder, almost to the point where the roof of the house was lifted. Jin Tianwei laughed for a long time before he stopped: "You are my man, Prince Tiger If I want to deal with you, I definitely can't agree, don't worry, with me protecting you, Prince Tiger dare not go too far."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ma Xiaoyao thanked hurriedly.

"Ma Xiaoyao, do you know what I admire most about you?" Jin Tianwei asked.

Ma Xiaoyao shook his head, expressing his ignorance.

Jin Tianwei didn't show off, and said directly: "I admire your integrity the most! Especially when you are facing the powerful and powerful, you can still maintain this integrity. I hope you can always maintain it. Now this world, like There are not many people as honest as you."

"I will keep the emperor's words in my heart." Ma Xiaoyao felt that there was something in Jin Tianwei's words, and seemed to convey something, but Ma Xiaoyao couldn't figure it out for a while, Ma Xiaoyao sighed, dealing with the emperor is exhausting, the emperor just I like to play charades, and I don’t want to speak out when I have something to say. I have to say some plausible things for you to guess. If you guess right, you will not be rewarded, but if you guess wrong, you will be punished.

"You keep this gold medal, and you can freely enter and leave the palace with this gold medal." Jin Tianwei rewarded Ma Xiaoyao with a gold medal: "If you have anything to do, you can report it to me directly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the gold medal." Ma Xiaoyao looked down at the gold medal in his hand. It was the size of a child's palm, and it was golden. It should be made of gold, with a lifelike five-clawed golden dragon engraved on it.
