"Thank you, Mr.." After Wei Qing and others escaped, Dashan took A Niu to Xiao Tianci and his table and bowed and said gratefully.

"You're welcome. If you want to thank me, please thank me, please give me a son." Zhang Liao was still a little cold and looked up at Xiao Tianci.

"Haha, it's okay." Before Dashan continued to thank him, Xiao Tianci waved his hand and pointed at A Niu and smiled, "Speaking of this, I met this little brother yesterday, which is just right."

At this moment, A Niu looked at Xiao Tianci's face, and his face turned red and he said in surprise, "Ah, you are..."

"Didn't we meet at the city gate yesterday?" Xiao Tianci smiled and blinked at A Niu, saying, "Meeting is fate, sit down and eat something together."

"This...we..." Xiao Tianci's invitation made Dashan, a man in his forties, feel a little merciless. "Mr....you should forget it, I...we'll leave now, yes...you'll leave too, young master, too, Wei Qing is not easy to mess with, his father is the sheriff. He may bring more people later."

"Hehe, it's okay." Xiao Tianci was afraid and said indifferently, "You can just sit down. It just so happens that I have something to ask for advice from this little brother."

"Then... let's talk." Dashan still delayed, "Young Master just asks the child if you have anything."

"Young Master told you to sit down, so you can sit down, why bother so embarrassed?" Zhang Liao spoke.

Dashan seemed to be a little afraid of Zhang Liao. When he heard his words, he had to sit down carefully with A Niu, gently facing the stool, and dared not to confirm.

Xiao Tianci saw it, didn't care, and smiled, "Aniu, I'll ask you, have you been on duty at the city gate these days?"

"Yes, young master." A Niu was not afraid of Xiao Tianci and the others, and nodded, "These days General Lin has taken all the soldiers in the city out, leaving only a few of us old and weak to temporarily guard the gate."

"Oh, then do you know where General Lin took his troops?"

"I don't know." A Niu hesitated and shook his head, "But looking at the direction of Lord Lin leaving the city, he should be heading east, and probably to Dongshan Camp."

"Dongshan Camp?" Xiao Tianci and Zhang Liao looked at each other. It was really easy to get it. This news is very important.

"Well, it should be Dongshan Camp." A Niu strengthened his tone and said confidently, "It used to be a barracks there, but it was abandoned long ago."

"Oh, then Aniu, are you familiar with that area?" Xiao Tianci asked afterwards.

"It's so familiar. I've been there since I was a child, and I'm very familiar."

Xiao Tianci was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Aniu, I want to ask you for a favor, is that OK?"

"Young Master is so polite. If you have any questions, please give me instructions. What should I do or not? Doing things for you is a blessing for you." Dashan smiled honestly and slapped A Niu on the back of the head, "You are not willing to agree to your son, you are a kid."

A Niu was slapped innocently, as if a little aggrieved. He touched his head and looked at Xiao Tianci and said, "You are a good person, I am willing to help you."

"Haha, good man." This is the first time someone calls him a good man. Xiao Tianci touched his nose speechlessly, "Aniu, I want you to take us to Dongshan Camp?"

"Okay, when?" This time, A Niu responded without any hesitation.

"I will notify you of the specific time. Okay, let's finish the matter, let's have something to eat with your father."

"I understand, thank you, my son."

………….

Xiao Changlong stood in the pavilion and quietly looked at the lakeside in the garden.

After ten years, Xiao Changlong suddenly felt a little moved that he had been the city lord in this small Starry Night City for a whole ten years. He worked hard and was in charge of a small city, but it was still in charge of a million people. However, all this will eventually end.

After taking a look at the letter paper in his hand, the new order from the Duke's Mansion finally came. Alas! With a sigh, Xiao Changlong shook his head.

"Sir, why is this? Is it because of the order from the Duke's Mansion?" asked Wei Biao, who had been standing behind him.

"You can take it and see it yourself." He handed the letter to Wei Biao, Xiao Changlong shook his head gently, with a little unwillingness on his face.

Wei Biao took it and looked at it quickly, then frowned and said, "Sir, what does this young master mean? Why do you want to stay as the deputy city lord? Isn't this demotion?"

Xiao Changlong laughed ugly, "Haha, don't you understand? The eldest young master meant that I would be demoted to a deputy position openly, but it was to undermine Xiao Tianci and make his position as the city lord have no real name."

"Oh, so that's it." Wei Biao nodded, "Why did the lord behave like this?"

"Huh! Do you think that Xiao Tianci is so easy to fool?" Xiao Changlong sighed softly, "I originally thought that the second young master of the Xiao family was at most a playboy. However, when they talked yesterday, this person was far from that simple and could not be revealed. The eldest young master thought too simply, so it was not easy to talk about a false thing."

"Hi! I said, what are you worried about?" After hearing this, Wei Biao slapped the scabbard on his waist with his hands indifferently, "Damn it, just that little white face wants to make some waves on our 30th acres of land. You should look down on him too highly."

"It's not that the Raptors are just a river." Xiao Changlong sighed lightly, "This second young master of the Xiao family is not that simple person. By the way, Biaozi, will the person you sent to follow come back?"

"Not yet." Wei Biao shook his head and said, "But I guess I should come back, so I'll go back and ask."

"Well, okay, remember, I'll tell them to be careful and don't mess up the matter for me, go ahead."

"Don't worry, sir, the person I sent is clever and promises that it won't be a mistake. Then I'll go first, sir, say goodbye."

As soon as Wei Biao left, the servants in the mansion hurried over.

"Sir, the second young master is back."

"Oh, please." Xiao Changlong looked completely, "By the way, the second young master is the three of them back home together?"

"Sir, I only saw the second young master and General Yingwu, and never saw the Mr. Jia yesterday."

"Well, go." Xiao Changlong waved at him, with a hint of confusion on his face.

In the front hall of the city lord's mansion, Xiao Changlong walked out with a smile and reached out to Xiao Tianci and arched, "The Second Young Master is back, can you have fun?"

Xiao Tianci raised his eyebrows and smiled and said, "It's okay, the people in the small town are simple and simple, and it's a good place."

"Haha, just don't bother with the second young master." A strange look appeared on Xiao Changlong's face.

"Second Young Master, Mr. Zhang, please sit down."

The three of them sat in turn and poured a bowl of tea. Xiao Tianci said, "Old Xiao, you have a rare time today. I wonder if you can get the delivery document first?"

"Haha, of course, of course." Xiao Changlong nodded repeatedly, but took out a letter from his arms, "But the Second Young Master, today the second young master received an order from the Duke's Office, and has been assigned to temporarily serve as the deputy city lord of Xingye City to assist the Second Young Master in managing government affairs. In the future, I will ask the Second Young Master to provide more support."

"Oh." Xiao Tianci's face changed slightly, he looked at Zhang Liao, then nodded, "It should be so. I am indeed too young and I am completely in the dark about handling government affairs. It's great that you can leave support for Lao Xiao, and I can also be more idle in the future."

"The Second Young Master is too humble." Xiao Changlong waved his hand, stood up, walked to the desk behind and took out a stack of books and said, "Second Young Master, this is the grain and money account, household registration documents, and the city lord's seal. Today, I will give it to you. Please give it to the Second Young Master."

"Haha, Old Xiao is so polite. Since you are the deputy city lord, then you can continue to keep these accounts or something." Xiao Tianci smiled, "I will be a hand-off manager. In the future, Old Xiao will still handle all the big and small matters in the city."

Xiao Tianci walked to the table and put away the city lord's seal, but he didn't care about the accounts on the table. He knew very well that these accounts were all open and it would be the same for anyone to keep.

After hearing this, Xiao Changlong did not insist. He knew that these things were of little use, so he didn't say much. Then the three of them said some nutritious words, and Xiao Tianci said goodbye and left.

Originally, Xiao Changlong wanted to give up the city lord's mansion. After all, Xiao Tianci is the city lord now. However, Xiao Tianci firmly refused, so he didn't bother him. To be honest, he was really reluctant to move out of this place where he had lived for ten years. Since Xiao Tianci was unwilling, of course he would not give up the city lord again.

...

After lunch at the City Lord's Mansion, Xiao Tianci took Zhang Liao out again. This time he wanted to find a house. After all, he could not live in the City Lord's Mansion at present. He didn't want to do anything under Xiao Changlong's nose.

Unfortunately, the houses in Xingye City really made him look down on them. In addition to the city lord's mansion, most of the houses in other parts of the city were simple, and the courtyards of rich gentry families were barely enough. Unfortunately, they would definitely not sell them. They wanted to sell them wooden houses, dilapidated and rustic houses.

There is no way, just let it go first, and wait for a while to solve Xiao Changlong, and then enter the main city lord's mansion.

The two of them visited the small town and had no gains. In the end, Zhang Liao suggested that they just go to the military camp to stay for a while. Anyway, Lin Chong is not here for the time being, so it is safer to live with the tiger and leopard cavalry.

Xiao Tianci recognized this suggestion.

So the two went straight to the military camp outside the city. Since it was just a small city and was not a strategic location, the size of the military camp was not too large, and it was estimated that it could accommodate about 3,000 people at most. The position of the garrison in Xingye City was only a lieutenant, and it was not called a general (the unified standard of various countries in the Xuanhuang Continent: ten people set up a squad leader for a squad, ten squads set up a squad leader for a squad, ten squads set up a squad leader for a squad, ten squads set up a squad leader for a squad, ten squads set up a squad leader for a squad, ten squads set up a squad general for a squad, ten squads set up a squad general for a squad, five to ten squads set up a squad general for a squad, and five to ten squads set up a squad general for a squad, Xiao Tianci, his uncle Xiao Shiyun is the general of Zhennan in the Southern Military Region, who is in charge of the overall military situation in the south, and above is the marshal of the military power in charge of the country, and is generally the highest military general in the country.)

Xiao Tianci and his friends entered the military camp very smoothly, and they did not meet any unsightly people. There are still dozens of soldiers in the military camp now, old and young. They are still doing the task of guarding the city gate every day. They live with the elite cavalry who suddenly came here in the past two days. These soldiers have already passed by fear and dared not come out to show off their power.

After meeting the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, Xiao Tianci called out a person and asked him to go to the city lord's mansion to wait for Jia Xu. He was probably still at Zhang Jingting, and he didn't know that Xiao Tianci and the others had moved to the military camp.
