Nothing happened, Xiao Yao changed into a black robe and left the barracks, he wanted to go directly to the City Lord's Mansion, but he felt embarrassed empty-handed, so he went to the bustling street to buy some cheap pastries and fruits, and then went to the City Lord's Mansion satisfied.

Inside the hall.

"It's all a family, why should Captain Zimang be so polite. ”

Glancing at the garbage on the table, the city lord Su Yu cursed secretly in his heart, he handed over three thousand taels of silver after two bandits, but he still pretended to be poor in front of himself, which was really shameless enough.

"The subordinate has just taken office, and the cyst is shy, and I hope the adults don't mind with a little courtesy. Xiao Yao clenched his fists and said.

"Then I'll be disrespectful. The city lord Su Yu glanced at him, and the master retreated, and immediately looked at Xiao Yao, and continued: "For your performance this time, I have specially prepared a commendation, you wait a minute." ”

"My subordinates have caused a lot of trouble to the adults by leading troops to fight against bandits without authorization, and now they want to reward me, which really makes me feel ashamed. Xiao Yao bowed politely.

"Where is this, I can get a fierce general like you and can't ask for it, if the bandits are punished, the people of this ancient city of salt will not have to demolish my city lord's mansion." City Lord Su Yu laughed.

After a short time, Master Chen Jian walked in with a square plate full of silver ingots.

"This is the three thousand taels of silver that the city lord rewarded Captain Zimang, please accept it. Master Chen Jian put the square plate in front of Xiao Yao and said with a smile.

"Thank you, City Lord!"

Xiao Yao pretended to be flattered, but he understood in his heart that he handed over three thousand taels of silver and rewarded him as it was, and the city lord was knocking on the mountain and warning him not to treat him as a fool.

Gently blowing on the hot air from the tea, the city lord Su Yu said lightly: "As long as you have one heart with me, I guarantee that this is just the beginning, and a lot of glory and wealth will be at your fingertips in the future." ”

"The subordinates naturally look forward to the city lord, and they will never dare to have two hearts. ”

Xiao Yao knew that the city lord wanted to buy him, so in order for the plan to progress smoothly, he had to coax him first.

"Well, well said!"

Putting down the teacup, the city lord Su Yu hurriedly came to Xiao Yao, holding his hands excitedly, with a caring expression.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Xiao Yao changed his words and said, "Actually, I came to meet the city lord because I had something to ask for. ”

"It's all my own, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

At this time, the city lord Su Yu was in a good mood, and he didn't notice the subtle changes in Xiao Yao's words, and he was still drinking tea carelessly.

"In these two crackdowns on bandits, the cavalry team has suffered heavy losses, and the establishment is already incomplete, can the city lord add some soldiers for me to supplement the losses. Xiao Yao smiled.

Stunned, the city lord Su Yu frowned, and said in embarrassment: "I'm afraid this is not in line with the rules, you belong to the third battalion, and you should tell Commander Kang if you are short of people, this application for skipping the level is not good for you." ”

"Could it be that the city lord still doesn't treat his subordinates as his own?" Xiao Yao said.

"Captain Zimang, don't think about it too much, I'm worried that Commander Kang will be unhappy, the palms and backs of his hands are full of meat, which really makes me very embarrassed. City Lord Su Yu said helplessly.

"This time, the four commanders have asked for war to suppress the bandits, how can I not know their thoughts, and I was forced to make a request to the city lord out of desperation. Xiao Yao said.

City Lord Su Yu paced and pondered silently, and the master Chen Jian on the side rolled his eyes, stepped forward, and whispered in his ear.

After a while, Master Chen Jian stepped aside, and the city lord Su Yu hesitated, turned his head to look at Xiao Yao, and said: "It's a good thing that young people want to make contributions, I approve of it with both hands, instead of everyone making discord, why don't I change your position, what do you think?"

Frowning, Xiao Yao said cautiously, "Please ask the city lord to signal." ”

"The city defense battalion is an independent organization and is directly under my control, if you think you can, you might as well transfer to my side to be an assistant commander, so that there will be no disagreement with Commander Kang, and the manpower problem can be solved. City Lord Su Yu said lightly.

Xiao Yao smiled bitterly in his heart, the city lord really played a good hand, and directly planted himself under his nose, it is impossible to act first and then play in the future, it is called the city defense camp, to put it bluntly, it is a watchdog.

"The reason why my subordinates joined the army is because I have a common enmity with the bandits, and I don't want to be bound. Xiao Yao said sincerely.

"I can give you the right to suppress bandits, but you have to ensure the safety of the ancient city of Yan, and the north and south gates are absolutely not allowed to slip up. City Lord Su Yu reminded.

Hearing this, Xiao Yao was overjoyed, he didn't expect the city lord to agree to his conditions so happily, although he was using himself, but he was not using him, as long as the things in principle did not touch the bottom line, everyone else would be much simpler.

"Oh, you're in a good cavalry team, let's bring it with us. ”

Seeing Xiao Yao's excited look, the city lord Su Yu took another fierce medicine, since he wants to be a good person, let him owe more and more, until he becomes his confidant.

......

Leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Xiao Yao hurried back to the barracks, and now he has become a real gate god in the ancient city of Yan, although his position is not as high as the four commanders, but he has real power, and the city defense soldiers of the north and south city gates add up to 2,000 people, even compared with the commanders.

On the first day of taking office, Xiao Yao had a general understanding of the city defense situation, his own work is not sloppy, if there are bad people in the city who can be caught, it depends on whether the city defense control is strict, as long as the murderer can't get out of the city gate, he is a great achievement, as for the outside of the city, there is no need to think about it, after all, it is not a war period, and there will be no situation of rebel party attacking the city.

With nothing to do, Xiao Yao came to the city defense barracks.

"Are you used to being here?"

Looking at this cavalry brothers who were born and died with him, Xiao Yao was in a good mood, after all, he had experienced fighting together, and he was more or less biased towards them.

"Head, we can be regarded as crows turning phoenixes with you, how refreshing it is in my heart, how can I not get used to it. One of the horsemen laughed.

Everyone on the side laughed in agreement.

"Just get used to it, don't be idle and go out and start training. Xiao Yao smiled indifferently and said.

Hearing this, everyone had a black line on their faces, thinking that the captain's promotion could allow them to rest for a while, but Na Cheng wanted to start the training camp on the first day.

"It doesn't seem like everyone is happy when they look at their faces?" frowned, Xiao Yao asked.

"Head, let's go out and find a restaurant to have a good gathering today, can you give us a day off. The vice-captain grinned.

"Whatever, if there is one who does not participate in the training today, I will let you stand guard under the city gate until you die. Xiao Yao said lightly.

"Head, I'm just making a suggestion. Trembling, the vice-captain said nervously.

"Your suggestion is good, I agree, you can see for yourself the rest. Xiao Yao said with a smile.

"Oh my God, do you agree or disagree. ”
