After Xu Baichuan received the holy decree, he was stunned, how could such a good thing fall on his head?

"Brother Xu, this is the emperor's grace, and it must be the full recommendation of Brother Zhenduo. That's a good thing, congratulations. Lin Guozhong said with a smile.

"This is a great thing for me, but I may not be able to do it? The Imperial Capital is a place where dragons and crouching tigers are hidden, and I don't have the ability to manage them. Xu Baichuan also understood that there was a lot of stake, and after he was happy, he was worried again.

"You are the deputy city lord, just return the things that offend people to Brother Zhenduo, what the hell are you doing?"

"Brother Lin, aren't you kind, how can you come up with such a bad idea?" Xu Baichuan quipped.

"The emperor's arrangement is also well thought out, he must have made the arrangement, so don't think too much about it. ”

"Then who will do it after I leave?"

"Is this something you need to consider? The emperor didn't say who would be the city lord, if my guess is right, he should give Xue Jiao a will, and the city lord must let Xue Jiao choose. "Lin Guozhong is very sophisticated, he can guess a rough idea.

"Even if you let Xue Jiao choose, you have to have the right person. ”

"Who is the most suitable? You are smart and confused, this city lord is not suitable for anyone except the Zhao family. Lin Guozhong said with a smile.

"Hahahaha. I'm really confused, and I don't need to think about it. Xu Baichuan said with an embarrassed smile.

"Then let Zhao Zhenbiao be the city lord, don't let Xue Jiao come forward, how about you and I jointly sponsor Zhao Zhenbiao to be the city lord of Flame City?"

"Hahahaha. Ginger is still old and spicy, so according to what you said, let's jointly write a book. ”

Lin Guozhong and Xu Baichuan sent someone to inform Lin Xuejiao, and at the same time, they quickly wrote a letter to sponsor Zhao Zhenbiao as the city lord of Flame City.

After Lin Xuejiao received the holy decree, she knew the emperor's intentions, and she also felt that the fourth uncle was the best candidate. At the same time, she also has to consider the selection of the deputy city master, but it can't all be the Zhao family.

"Zhao Yang, who do you think is more suitable to be the deputy city lord of Flame City?"

"Sister Xue Jiao, our ambition is not here, you can decide who will be the deputy city lord. ”

"Nonsense, why would I ask you if I had my own idea? Lin Xuejiao glanced at him.

"I didn't suggest, I had other things to do, so I'll go first. After Zhao Yang finished speaking, he got up and ran.

He didn't know who to choose in his heart, maybe Lin Xuejiao already had an idea, and he didn't want to suggest it casually.

"When did this stinky guy become such a mother-in-law?" Looking at Zhao Yang's escaping figure, Lin Xuejiao said helplessly.

"Yu'er, what are you busy with?" Lin Xuejiao came to Zhao Yu'er's house in Qinghuang Academy.

"It's okay to play with the kids. Zhao Yuer said with a smile.

"I've come to discuss something with you, and I'd like to hear your opinion. ”

"Sister Xuejiao, if you have something to order, do we still need to discuss it?" Zhao Yuer obeyed Lin Xuejiao's words.

"Uncle Xu has been transferred to the imperial capital as the deputy city lord, and the third uncle has become the city lord. ”

"This is a good thing, the city lord of the Imperial Capital City is not ordinary. Zhao Yuer was very happy to hear it.

"They're gone, but Flame City needs someone at the helm, and the fourth uncle will be the city lord. I want Ruyi to be the deputy city lord, what do you think?" Lin Xuejiao asked tentatively.

She really can't make decisions for Xu Ruyi in this matter, and she won't force Xu Ruyi to be the deputy city lord. In fact, to put it bluntly, whoever is asked to be the deputy city lord is the work of the city lord, Zhao Zhenbiao is only in name, and he is too lazy to be the city lord.

"No, no, this is definitely not going to work. Ruyi is the left and right hand of the eldest brother, he will have to follow the eldest brother to fight in the Quartet in the future, how can he be a small city lord

The position restrained him?" Zhao Yu'er waved her hand again and again, she absolutely disagreed.

When Lin Xuejiao saw this, she knew that she would definitely not be able to convince them, so she had to give up this plan. He wanted to give Xu Ruyi an official background, and he was also a kind of protection.

"Then who do you think is more suitable to be this deputy city lord?" Lin Xuejiao asked Zhao Yu'er.

"Then let Brother Zhao Kun's father-in-law, Wang Dahua, be the deputy city lord. Although the Wang family is not a big family, Uncle Wang is exquisite, and he does things well. The most important thing is that he is low-key and has a good personality, which is very suitable for this position of deputy city lord. Zhao Yuer suddenly suggested that Wang Dahua should be the deputy city lord.

"Hmm. He's also a good candidate, although I don't know him very well, but judging from Sister Snowflake's style of life, her father is definitely not bad. Since this is the case, he will be the deputy city lord, and he will inform Sister Xuehua first. Lin Xuejiao made a decision.

"There's no need to look back, I've already made an appointment with her, and she will come to my place for dinner at noon, so I'll talk to her at noon." ”

"Okay, since she's here, just tell her directly. ”

At noon, Wang Xuehua came to Yu'er's house.

"Sister Xuejiao, you are also here, such a coincidence. Wang Xuehua was overjoyed when she saw Lin Xuejiao.

"I'm waiting for you here, otherwise I wouldn't have time to eat at Yu'er's place. Lin Xuejiao quipped.

"Sister Xuejiao, do you have anything to say to me waiting for?" Wang Xuehua was a little puzzled, Lin Xuejiao had never told her anything alone.

"That's the case, Uncle Xu was immediately transferred to the imperial capital as the deputy city lord, and the city lord of Flame City was taken over by the fourth uncle. Now that there is a lack of a deputy city lord, I want Uncle Wang to be the deputy city lord of Flame City, and I want to ask for your opinion. ”

"Do you still want to ask for advice? Such a good thing can't be sought, then I thank Sister Xuejiao for my father." As soon as Lin Xuejiao finished speaking, Wang Xuehua was excited. It was a great thing, and she never dreamed that such a good thing could fall on her father's head.

"Since there is no opinion, then it is decided, come with me to Flame City tomorrow, and I will settle things over there. ”

"Okay, I'll accompany you to Flame City tomorrow. Wang Xuehua still feels like a dream.

The next morning, Lin Xuejiao took Mei Lan, Zhuju and Wang Xuehua, and quickly rushed to Flame City. The emperor left the matter of choosing the lord of the city to her, and she had to arrange everything.

"Daughter, how can I have time to go home?" After Wang Xuehua arrived in Flame City, she went home directly to see her father first.

"Father, I came back with Sister Xuejiao. She went to the mansion, I'll come over and tell you first, she wants you to be the deputy city lord of Flame City......" Wang Xuehua hurriedly told her father about it.

"Ah, there is such a good thing, I'm not dreaming, right?" Wang Dahua was excited when he heard this, he didn't expect that he could be the deputy city lord of Flame City.

"What kind of dreams are you dreaming, what Sister Xue Jiao said can still be fake? Wang Xuehua hurriedly urged.

When Wang Xuehua led her father to the Zhao family's mansion, many people had already arrived.

At this time, Lin Guozhong, Xu Baichuan, and Li Sanchang had already arrived, and they were discussing things with Lin Xuejiao.

"Wang Dahua sees the eldest princess, participates in the Hou Ye, and participates in General Li's ......"

Wang Dahua greeted everyone when he entered the door, although it was a relative, he didn't usually have many opportunities to meet everyone. After all, there is a huge disparity in status, and it is difficult to meet each other when there is nothing to do.

"Uncle Wang, what are you doing here? We are real relatives, do you still want to be polite to us?" Lin Xuejiao hurriedly stopped him.

Zhao Kun is the pillar of the Zhao family, and his father-in-law must give enough respect, otherwise it will embarrass Zhao Kun.

Wang Xuehua glanced at Lin Xuejiao gratefully, she was very grateful to Lin Xuejiao for what she did. Although she is the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family, but

can't because of his own relationship, his father can be on an equal footing with Lin Guozhong and others. Now that Lin Xuejiao respects her father so much, how can she not be moved?

"Brother, what are you doing here? Zhao Zhenbiao took Wang Dahua's hand and brought him to the seat.

"Uncle Wang, don't be so polite when we meet again in the future, otherwise it will be too angry. ”

"Okay, thank you for looking up to me Wang Dahua. Wang Dahua was very moved.

"Uncle Wang, Sister Xuehua has already told you about the situation, right?"

"Hmm. She has already told me, thank you so much for your recommendation, I must do a good job and can't plaster your face. Wang Dahua hurriedly stood up and made a promise.

"Uncle Wang, Flame City is now among the top few in the entire Imperial Capital, and now I will hand over Flame City to you and Fourth Uncle to manage, which can only be better than before, so that I can explain to the Emperor. ”

"Don't worry, I don't have the ability of Brother Xu, but Brother Xu has laid a good foundation for us, and we are confident that the prosperity of Flame City will continue. Wang Dahua said that there was no leakage, and Lin Xuejiao nodded with satisfaction.

"Brother, I'm lazy, in the future, the affairs of Flame City will be handed over to you, and I will be a hands-off shopkeeper. Zhao Zhenbiao laughed.

"Fourth uncle, this is not child's play. The Emperor has good intentions in doing this, and you and Uncle Wang must manage Flame City well. Lin Xuejiao hurriedly reminded.

"Xuejiao, don't worry. The two of us are definitely inferior to the three and Brother Baichuan in terms of ability. But fortunately, Flame City has a good foundation now, and Brother Guozhong is still here, so he can guide us at ordinary times, so there shouldn't be much of a problem. Zhao Zhenbiao hurriedly said.

"With everyone to help out, there shouldn't be any problem. Lin Guozhong said on the side.

"Uncle Xu, then you go to the fourth uncle as soon as possible to do the handover procedures, after the handover, you will go to the imperial capital, and the third uncle will wait for you with a blank eye. ”

"Hahahaha. My handover was easy, but it was so sudden. To be honest, it's not because your third uncle is the city lord that I don't go to the imperial capital. Not to mention that the hidden dragon and crouching tiger there are not easy to manage, I have lived in Flame City for nearly fifty years, and I am really reluctant to leave. What Xu Baichuan said was the truth, and it was also what he said in his heart.

"Uncle Xu, people go to high places. Flame City is a small place after all, we will all go to the imperial capital in the future, you just went a while before us. Lin Xuejiao understood what Xu Baichuan meant.

"Okay, since it's all decided, then don't say anything else. After I finished the handover, I went to Qinghuang Town, to see my little grandson, and then said goodbye to Ruyi and Yu'er, and then I went to the imperial capital. ”

"Hahahaha. Brother Xu, you won't be lonely when you go to the emperor. Father, eldest brother, third brother are all here, Zhao Ming has also gone to the imperial capital, and the Wu family brothers. With them you won't be lonely, don't worry. Zhao Zhenbiao hurriedly comforted.

Then they made arrangements for some matters in Flame City, and everyone had a meal together in the evening, which was considered to be practiced for Xu Baichuan.

The news quickly spread in Flame City, and everyone was both happy and reluctant. Xu Baichuan's reputation in Flame City is extremely high, and he has contributed a lot to Flame City to having today. Everyone was happy for his promotion, but at the same time they were disappointed that he was leaving.

After Xu Baichuan handed over to Zhao Zhenbiao and Wang Dahua, he went to Qinghuang Town, and he talked with Xu Ruyi for a whole day. He knew that it would not be easy for him to enter the imperial capital and then come back at will, although he was just going to be a deputy city lord, but he knew the importance of that deputy city lord.

It was the imperial city at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and that deputy city lord was not weaker than the average first-rank master. The location is both prominent but also full of risks, and there are too many masters and talented people there. Without a strong basis, it simply can't be done, let alone done well.

Fortunately, there is a big tree of the Zhao family, which can shelter himself from the wind and rain. He never dreamed that he could be the deputy city lord of the imperial capital, and this time he must assist Zhao Zhenduo to do everything well, so that everyone in the imperial capital can see the ability and strength of the Zhao family.
