"I also returned to the capital. It happened that the deputy chief of the city gate in charge of the 'Dangyang Gate' of the Nine Gate Admiral's Office of the capital was transferred, leaving a position for a military attache from the fourth rank. This time, it was only with the help of the fourth prince that I won this position.
, Otherwise, I won’t be able to return to Beijing." Chu Zijiang said.
"The city gate officer is not bad, but when there are wars, they are always in the border areas, and there are very few incidents in the capital. It is too difficult for this city gate officer to be promoted.
Moreover, despite his humble position, he has great responsibilities.
Can't the fourth prince and your father work together to get a better position?" Xiao Qiyue was a little speechless. After struggling for a long time, the son of the prince could only get an official to guard the city gate.
"Don't underestimate this city gate official, there are many eyes in the capital watching him.
To tell you the truth, even some young princes in Beijing who can inherit the title are jealous.
The sons of first-class officials also struggled to get their hands on it.
However, no matter what, size is an official.
Moreover, it is a real shortcoming. And it is the best stepping stone as a springboard." Chu Zijiang shook his head, feeling helpless and bitter.
"Okay, let's get a firm footing first." Xiao Qiyue nodded, thinking about how to help him.
"By the way, you have been removed from the positions of bodyguard and imperial guard, and now you are left with the identity of a secret agent. Do you want to get a position when you arrive in the capital?
At least it would be easier to do things with a badge on your waist.
Otherwise, if you encounter a major incident and the city gates are closed and you want to enter the city, you can't take out the secret agent order, right?" Chu Zijiang asked.
"Look at this." Xiao Qiyue threw the token to him.
When Chu Zijiang took it, he was stunned for a moment.
"Did King Zhennan recommend it to you?" Chu Zijiang asked after a long time.
"No, the prince doesn't have that ability either. Last time he helped Hang Fei's family treat their illness..." Xiao Qiyue didn't hide it either.
"No wonder, it's Mother Su.
She is probably the only one who has the energy to get you a new position so quickly.
However, you have to be careful with the Queen and her family.
Although you have no intention of taking sides, the Queen's family must have regarded you as a member of the Hang family.
In this dangerous place in the capital, the Queen's family is too powerful, and you have picked up a hot potato this time." Chu Zijiang looked worried.
"Never mind it, what is supposed to come will eventually come. If a man is afraid of this, how can he talk about building a career?" Xiao Qiyue looked relaxed.
"You are heartless. Forget it, just take it one step at a time. However, it will be much easier for you to do things with this dual identity." Chu Zijiang shook his head and returned the token to Xiao Qiyue.
"Brother Zijiang, can I enter the palace directly with the badge of a fourth-class sword-wielding guard?" Xiao Qiyue asked with some expectation.
"It stands to reason that it is possible, but it is very difficult to bring a knife into the palace." Chu Zijiang shook his head.
"It seems that the emperor is still afraid of knives." Xiao Qiyue said with a free and easy smile.
"Hahaha, who is not afraid? However, although you have this qualification, the key problem is that you are not the emperor's personal guard. How can others dare to let you enter the palace with a sword?" Chu Zijiang laughed.
"What about the second-class and first-class guards with swords?" Xiao Qiyue asked.
"Of course someone of that level can enter the palace. After all, there are too few first- and second-class guards, and they are all masters.
Moreover, the emperor personally ordered the generals, and the guards at this level were basically served by some important ministers and generals.
Some princes even hold the title of first-class bodyguard.
There are very few first- and second-class guards who do not hold important positions in the country. Even if there are, they are always with the emperor, so of course he is trusted." Chu Zijiang shook his head.
"After working for a long time, I'm just a single person with a false title." Xiao Qiyue shook his head.
"It's better than nothing. You can't enter the palace with a knife. However, it's good to occasionally use it outside to scare people." Chu Zijiang said.
"The fox pretends to be the tiger's power, haha, it seems not bad." Xiao Qiyue smiled. He was thinking about when he would get a second-class and first-class bodyguard, and wear a sword to show off his power when entering and leaving the palace.
The next night, everything was going on quietly.
Ding Kui, the 'shadow master' sent by the King of Zhennan, is indeed very knowledgeable in the art of Yi. After putting on his makeup, it is impossible to tell the authenticity from a distance.
On the surface, it seems that a large number of people are still gathered in Tianyang County, but in fact, the elite have already quietly arrived at Jingyue Villa on flying eagles.
Xiao Qiyue quietly sneaked into Jingyue Villa with Chu Zijiang, Tian Feng from Qianqiu Mountain and other elites.
Then he destroyed the magic moon mirror and connected to the attached magic mirror in Zhuang Zhizhou's lobby that was used to monitor the enemy.
Through the magic mirror, Xiao Qiyue discovered that everything was normal on the island in the middle of the lake.
After the magic mirror is controlled by the magic moon mirror, it will naturally no longer call the police and monitor Zhuang Zhizhou.
Xiao Qiyue took advantage of the darkness and struck decisively, immediately arresting Zhuang Lixu who was lying on the woman's belly and was hard at work 'ploughing'.
This kid is really a pustule. He usually behaves like a dog. He actually surrendered without any use of torture after a knife was placed on his neck.
Xiao Qiyue directly swallowed the Tianxin fish sauce, thus forming a sharing relationship.
Xiao Qiyue, through master-servant sharing, completely controlled Zhuang Lixu, and led him straight into the mirror prison.
"What are you doing here in the middle of the night?" Mo Siqing, the guardian of the mirror prison, was a little annoyed.
"This is my family's territory. I can come and go whenever I want. If I can't sleep at night, I want to torture the Xiao family for fun. Stop talking nonsense and open the door quickly." Zhuang Lixu couldn't help but say.
Mr. Mo had no choice but to open the passage when he met such a dandy.
Everyone else was waiting in ambush outside the mirror prison. Only Xiao Qiyue used the Tianxin Fish Dew Seed Invisibility Technique and followed Zhuang Lixu in.
Along the way, Xiao Qiyue's whole body exuded the feeling of "pour blindly". This was Xiao Qiyue's exclusive secret recipe that he found out in the Shennong Pharmacopoeia.
The drug was colorless and odorless, but it fell down as soon as it was smelled, and soon all the prisoners in the Mirror Prison fell into a deep sleep.
But Mo Siqing only cared about the pool where the box was hidden, and didn't pay attention to other parts of the mirror prison. This was also the reason why Xiao Qiyue succeeded.
Therefore, rescuing people went very smoothly.
Xiao Qiyue quickly bandaged up the body and directed the Xiao family members to save themselves. After swallowing the elixir, they gathered together to regain their strength.
"It's so sad..." Hearing a strange sigh, Mr. Mo opened his eyes, stared at Xiao Qiyue with cold eyes, and said, "Who are you?"
"Xiao Qiyue." Xiao Qiyue looked at him calmly.
"Xiao Qiyue, you are so brave!" Mo Siqing stood up immediately after hearing this. But he did not attack immediately, but looked at him with contempt.
After all, Mr. Mo felt that Xiao Qiyue was only in the Mortal Realm and was too far behind him.
Although he didn't know how this kid came in without anyone noticing, Mo Siqing quickly checked the entire mirror prison and found no other masters sneaking in.
So I gave up my thoughts and wanted to see what tricks this kid could pull off.
"Senior, don't get excited, I'm here to help you out of kindness." Xiao Qiyue waved his hand.
"Help me, joke, it's just you, what can you help me with.
Do you think my eyes are dim? You came here just to save the Xiao family.
And, you have succeeded.
But, boy, I have to tell you, with me, Mo Siqing, there is no way you can get out of this mirror prison." Mo Siqing sneered with disdain.
"It's a pity that you were smart all your life but were confused for a while. You were deceived by Zhuang Zhizhou for decades without knowing it." Xiao Qiyue shook his head.
"He dares!" Mo Siqing smashed a rock with one palm and said after stopping, "Boy, don't think I don't know that you want to drive a wedge between us.
However, these are of no use.
I don't care about Zhuang Zhizhou's affairs with your Xiao family, but this mirror prison is my place of protection.
So, since you’re here, don’t expect to get out.”
"Can you open the magic moon box and take a look?" Xiao Qiyue pointed at the pool.
