Chapter 161: Don't Guess the Leader's Thoughts

Promoted to captain, led an army of 1,000 people, guided the country at the brigade combat meeting, married a beautiful aristocratic lady, and walked to the pinnacle of life......

Generally, most of the people who choose "down-to-earth" and "contented and happy" are because they can't find a way out and have no chance to rise before they choose to keep their duties.

Although this upside may seem illusory, it is like winning the lottery. After all, how could a big man like Prince Riel promote him so inexplicably?

But the problem is, he just won the jackpot once for this kind of lottery thing!

Now that this opportunity is coming again, anyone will fight for it! After all, there is no loss if you fail, if you succeed, then you really have to go to the peak of life!

The young officer Xiao Liu secretly glanced left and right, and then exhaled softly to calm his heart, which was constantly beating and excited.

"What's wrong?" Tong Xi looked suspiciously at Xiao Liu, a young officer whose thinking seemed to be a little drifting on the side.

"Oooh! It's okay! I was just thinking Miss Xi, this is the second time you've come to Pottertown, right? The last time I came with your father, I didn't have to be around town, and I know of a restaurant with excellent steaks! I'll take you there later, shall I? The young officer Xiao Liu snorted without changing his face, and brought the topic over very easily.

"Oh, then trouble the captain, we happened to pass through the town of Potter, in addition to looking for a place to eat, we also need to find a better hotel!" Tong Xi smiled and continued the topic of Captain Liu. As the daughter of a bigwig of the imperial military, isn't it a joke that you can't look at the rank?

Of course, Tong Xi also knows the most basic look at the military rank, and Tong Xi can still understand the position of the squad leader represented by a six-pointed star on Captain Liu's shoulder.

"But I don't know the captain's name yet! Anyway, we've known each other for years, but my dad always taught me to remember everyone who helped me! Tong Xi smiled.

"Oooh! I forgot to introduce myself! The young officer Xiao Liu looked excited, and even showed a faint red smoke of excitement on his face......

"My surname is Liu! It's called Liu Qing! I know it's a very rare surname, but my father told me that my ancestors were once the vice-captains of the Escort of Austin I! At that time, Austin I took in his ancestors who had fled from the war-torn zone and taught him an extremely advanced Douqi cultivation method! Later, my ancestor became a master of the Holy Order, became a close confidant of Austin I, and has always followed Austin I's side! ”

"It is said that most of the refugees who fled from the war zone at that time did not have a surname, but this 'Liu' surname was given to my ancestors by Austin I himself at that time! Although this kind of single-character surname is indeed a bit rare. The young officer named Liu Qing explained with a smile.

"Not uncommon, isn't my last name also a single word?" While walking towards the "city gate" at the gate of the town, Tong Xi chatted with the captain of Liu Qing.

Of course, this "small talk" is just Tong Xi's own opinion, and the object of her small talk, this Captain Liu Qing doesn't think so!

In this seemingly relaxed chat, every time he said a word, Captain Liu Qing had to turn hundreds of thoughts in his heart to confirm and scrutinize repeatedly, and only after confirming that there was nothing wrong with him did he dare to say it.

God knows that his palms are already sweating at this time! And also! The girl who was holding Princess Xi was looking at him with such a smile?! Did you see through his careful thoughts?!

The young officer Liu Huan pinched the cold sweat that came out of his palm with some weakness, and he really "pinched a handful of sweat"!

But this girl who has been smiling didn't debunk him?! The difficulty is purely because he amused Princess Xi, and the atmosphere of chatting with Princess Xi at this time is not bad, does it make this smiling girl very satisfied?!

The young officer Liu Huan thought so in his heart, but he seemed to feel his heartbeat, as if it was speeding up again, and he could already hear the "plop" sound of his heartbeat......

"Not uncommon, isn't my last name also a single word?" Tong Xi may have said this sentence just because she was really chatting, and the words she said were all inadvertent. But if the same sentence falls on different people's ears, it will have different meanings.

Yes?! Princess Xi, this is too good, right?! This is taking the initiative to "pull a relationship" with me!

It was precisely because of this thought that this officer Liu Qing seemed so excited......

Then this officer Liu Qing also glanced at Andrea who was holding Tong Xi with a weak heart.

Wow! It's scary for this girl to look at me with a smile all the time!

This is also the reason why the young officer's heartbeat is racing again......

In the midst of Tong Xi's chat, Andrea's smile and silence throughout the whole process, and the young officer Liu Qing's heart was constantly churning, the three of them walked to the "city gate".

Although it is a small town, but because Potter Town has been continuously joined by adventurers, mercenary groups, and caravans in recent years, leading the economic level of Porter Town to rise, the town has become more and more prosperous, and the empire has put the matter of "Porter Town upgraded to Porter City" on the agenda.

However, this is also on the agenda, and it will take some time for it to be implemented.

It takes "professional technicians" to come to Porter Town to assess the economic level and development prospects, and then build the city walls, increase the garrison of city guards, and set up official management institutions such as "city lords", and there are still many steps to follow.

So at this time, although the upper officials of the imperial capital knew that Potter Town was about to be upgraded to a "city", even some families had already set their sights on the position of the city lord, wanting to fight for their children and grandchildren.

However, at this time, the overall construction had not yet been implemented, the "city wall" outside Potter Town was still a rudimentary brick wall, the city gate could only pass one carriage at a time, and the garrison city guard had only one brigade of troops.

At this time, Liu Qing took Tong Xi and the two through the city gate, and it was natural that they were going to "cut in line".

But after walking through the city gate, countless thoughts flashed in the heart of the young officer Liu Qing again......

"What should I do? Do you want Princess Xi and the others to take out their ID cards and go to the window on the side to register? But what if they feel that they have to register with my help and doubt my ability to do things?! ”

"But Princess Xi is so easy to get along with, she shouldn't be angry if she takes out her ID card, right?! But what I should do now is not to make her not angry, but to make her 'satisfied'! ”

"If you don't register and take them directly, isn't this an abuse of power in front of Prince Riel's cronies and under the noses of military bigwigs?!"
