In terms of rank, Imperial City Guardsmen and General Soldiers are the same, but in strict comparison, Imperial City Guardsmen are more popular and have more prospects. The only drawback is that they need to deal with many high-ranking officials and nobles to build a good relationship.
If the relationship is broken, you will naturally get a lot of benefits. On the contrary, if the relationship is ruined, there will definitely be a lot of trouble.
Especially Ma Xiaoyao, who has a strong temper, is more likely to get into trouble.
Ma Xiaoyao also knows his own temperament, so he rarely goes out. In his own words, if we can't offend him, can we always hide away?
As the imperial city guard, he has a separate office area. Next to the city gate, there is a five-story attic. The interior decoration is quite exquisite. Ma Xiaoyao usually works on the top floor. The entire top floor belongs to Ma Xiaoyao.
Happy and alone.
Counting the days, it has been a month since Ma Xiaoyao came to the imperial city. In this month, he has only done one thing, and that is to scheming with his subordinates. As Ma Xiaoyao guessed, many people are dissatisfied with him, mainly because of Ma Xiaoyao's suspicion.
The martial artist Xiaoyao has a low level of cultivation, so he is not taken seriously.
Ma Xiaoyao spent a month cleaning up all these thorns. From then on, no one dared to target Ma Xiaoyao again.
After straightening out the internal relations, Ma Xiaoyao began to deal with the accumulated official affairs. In fact, they were all trivial matters, such as whose family lost a few pigs, such as whose cows were stolen, such as two families.
A fight broke out over a little friction, or someone was bitten by a dog while shopping on the street...
"Damn! Do I deal with these things every day?" Ma Xiaoyao couldn't help but cursed. He was originally looking forward to his transfer, but after becoming a city guard, he found that it was so boring that he almost lost his job.
Ma Xiaoyao was so suffocated.
"Sir, please be patient." A man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks said with a smile: "You can't underestimate these trivial matters. Once they are not handled well, they may cause big troubles. The last city guard was because of his laziness.
His unwillingness to interfere with these trivial matters led to a series of bloody incidents in the streets, and several people died. In the end, the emperor was so angry that he removed the previous city guard, and then you came, my lord."
This man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks is called Niu Liu. He is the first person to take refuge in Ma Xiaoyao. Although Niu Liu doesn't look very good, he has a very flexible mind and is very good at flattering. He makes Ma Xiaoyao laugh every time.
.
Ma Xiaoyao had just arrived, and there was no familiar person around him. It could be said that his eyes were darkened, and he was having a hard time handling things. Niu Liu's help was a timely help, which moved Ma Xiaoyao very much. After some tests, Ma Xiaoyao
Niu Liu was accepted and trained as a close confidant. Niu Liu did not disappoint Ma Xiaoyao. He handled the matters Ma Xiaoyao told him properly, which saved Ma Xiaoyao a lot of worry.
"Alas..." Ma Xiaoyao sighed: "I understand what you said, and I will also deal with these small things... It's just that I feel depressed. I originally thought that the city guard was so popular, but it turns out he is just a
Housekeeper, my main responsibility every day is to deal with neighborhood disputes, which really makes me speechless."
"It will be fine, adults, just correct your mentality." Niu Liu comforted: "Everything has a process of getting used to it. As long as adults get used to it, you won't be so depressed." At this point, Niu Liu added: "
In fact, these little things don’t require adults to take action at all, I can take care of them."
"You are still considerate." Ma Xiaoyao nodded happily: "I did the right thing by accepting you in the first place. With you here, I feel a lot more relaxed."
"This is what a villain should do." Niu Liu was very happy to receive Ma Xiaoyao's praise: "Before the adults came, I was a city gatekeeper. I was exposed to wind and sun every day, and suffered many people.
His eyes are rolled with his eyes, even if he wants to have a hot meal or sleep well..." At this point, Niu Liu showed a sentimental expression on his face: "Maybe God has mercy on me, and since he sent you to me,
Following you, my life has undergone earth-shaking changes. I don’t have to be exposed to the wind and sun every day, I don’t have to be looked down upon by others every day, I can eat hot meals every day, and even my sleep is sweet... All these are grown-ups.
I am extremely grateful for the gift. I won’t say any more. I will only say one thing: This life of Niu Liu belongs to you. With just one word, I, Niu Liu, can go up mountains of swords and seas of fire. Even if I die, I will never do it.
Frown."
This little flatterer is really awesome! Facts have proved that people with the surname Niu are very awesome!
Ma Xiaoyao smiled: "Although I know what you said is inaccurate, I am still very happy. I will tell you today: as long as you are loyal to me, I will never let you down!"
"I feel reassured by the words of an adult." Niu Liu smiled brightly.
"Okay, you go handle these disputes. After handling them, present the results to me for a look." Ma Xiaoyao threw all the pile of documents in his hand to Niu Liu. Being a leader is good. You can just do things that you don't want to do.
Push everything to your subordinates. Even if your subordinates don't want to, they won't dare to refuse, unless you don't want to do it anymore.
"Yes, I'll go now." Niu Liu left the hall holding a pile of paperwork.
"Huh..." Ma Xiaoyao breathed out softly: "It's better to be the commander-in-chief of the White Tiger Banner. Alas..." If he had to choose again, Ma Xiaoyao would never come to the imperial city to be a city guard. Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world.
, what happened can only be faced with reality.
Fortunately, there is a clever Niu Liu, otherwise Ma Xiaoyao would be even more depressed.
Fortunately, nothing happened, so Ma Xiaoyao went to the backyard to practice martial arts. Recently, he felt that the bottleneck was a little loose, so he increased his martial arts training, hoping to break through the bottleneck and become a sixth-level martial artist in one fell swoop.
"Bang bang bang..."
"Boom, boom, boom..."
"Dang Dang Dang..."
…
"boom!!!"
There were bursts of explosions in the backyard, and because Ma Xiaoyao had warned them in advance, no one dared to enter and disturb them.
"boom!!!"
After another loud noise, the backyard finally returned to calm.
After a long time, Ma Xiaoyao walked out sweating profusely. His clothes were covered with dust and his hair was a mess.
"I feel that Master Ma's aura is stronger..."
"I also have this feeling."
"The improvement in strength should break through the bottleneck."
…
There was a lot of discussion at the scene.
"Finally broke through the bottleneck and entered the ranks of sixth-level warriors." Ma Xiaoyao exhaled softly, feeling very happy: "Upgrading to a level, the feeling is different." Ma Xiaoyao felt that he could smash a building with one punch.
hill.
Breaking through the bottleneck in martial arts is a happy event. Since it is a happy event, it is necessary to celebrate it. That night, Ma Xiaoyao hosted a banquet for a large number of his subordinates. At the banquet, everyone was drinking and drinking, talking and laughing loudly, and the atmosphere was very high.
The banquet didn't end until late at night. More than half of the people were drunk and were finally carried out. Even Ma Xiaoyao was 70 to 80% drunk and began to stagger when walking. Finally, he was helped into the room.
As soon as it was dawn, Ma Xiaoyao simply washed up and went to the front hall to have breakfast. At this time, he heard a noise coming from outside.
Ma Xiaoyao frowned: "Who is making noise outside?" Ma Xiaoyao hated being disturbed while eating.
The sounds outside suddenly stopped, and after a while, several men dressed as cooks walked in with their heads lowered.
"Were you making the noise outside just now?" Ma Xiaoyao asked in a deep voice.
"Yes...it's us..." the cooks replied honestly.
"Why are you so noisy? Don't you know I'm having breakfast?" Ma Xiaoyao's voice was a little cold: "Because of your noise, I'm not even in the mood to have breakfast."
"Plop!"
A cook standing in the middle suddenly knelt down, then lay on the ground and cried loudly: "Sir, please save my sister...Sir, I beg you...wuwuwu..."
"Uh?" Ma Xiaoyao was stunned: "What are you doing? Come up and say something!"
"If you don't agree to save my sister, I will die here today," the cook cried.
Ma Xiaoyao was so angry: "Kneel down and die here? You really dare to say that!"
"Sir, I didn't mean to offend you. I came to beg you because I was really desperate...Sir..."
"Okay, stop crying. I hate it when men cry. Tell me, what's going on? What happened to your sister?"
"My sister was snatched away by a bully, and my parents were seriously injured... Sir, you must make the decision for me."
"Is there such a thing?" Ma Xiaoyao was furious: "In this bright world, someone dares to do such a rebellious and unethical thing. It is simply extremely arrogant." At this point, Ma Xiaoyao waved his hand to the cook who was kneeling on the ground: "
Get up, I take care of your affairs, I will send someone to rescue your sister now."
"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir." The cook kept kowtowing in thanks.
"What's that bully's name? Where does he live?" Ma Xiaoyao asked.
"His name is Long Fei, nicknamed Little Tyrannosaurus. He is a well-known dandy in the imperial city. He is drinking in a restaurant at the moment..." The cook said quickly: "My sister and my parents both work in this restaurant. Long Fei is looking at me.
My sister wanted to tease her because she was so pretty, but my parents stepped forward to stop them and were severely injured by Long Fei's men. They are still unconscious... My sister was arrested by Long Fei to accompany him for a drink..." At this point, the cook said
His fists were clenched, and his eyes showed frightening anger: "Just now, a waiter from the restaurant came to inform me that I wanted to save my sister, but they were stopped." The cook pointed to several other cooks: "They
They were afraid that I would suffer a loss, so they didn’t let me go, so I quarreled with them... and then the adults were alerted..."
"Little Tyrannosaurus? You're quite good at giving nicknames!" Ma Xiaoyao snorted coldly: "I will send someone to rescue your sister now." At this point, Ma Xiaoyao raised his head and looked at the door: "Here comes someone!!!"
"Whoa!"
Two guards strode in: "What are your orders, sir?"
"You two mobilize your troops, go rescue people with this cook, and capture another man named Long Fei." Ma Xiaoyao ordered.
