"You are the only one left at Weiyi in Fengliu Lane. It is most appropriate to be directly in charge of there."
Qu Dayou said: "Next, I will send you five newcomers stationed in the camp. Since they are all newcomers, there is no need to worry about not being able to convince the crowd."
Qu Dayou was more considerate. If it was an old man who was transferred from other places, it would be difficult for Xu Ning to effectively control Weiyi.
"Understood, my lord."
Xu Ning said in response.
After talking about acting as the captain, Qu Dayou asked again: "Your martial arts seem to have improved significantly?"
As the captain of the third camp, Qu Da seldom directly inquired about the progress of the individual's practice, and there were very few people like Xu Ning who could be treated specially.
"Some progress."
Facing the questioning, Xu Ning acted calmly.
"Is it possible to get a yellow card in the assessment after two months?"
Qu Dayou asked again.
"Nine times out of ten."
Xu Ning was not humble this time.
Qu Dayou laughed loudly: "Okay!"
…
Xu Ning returned to the room and found that Tao Qingping had already returned.
He was sitting at the table with a brush in his hand, writing something on the paper.
"It's rare to see you come back earlier than me recently."
Xu Ning joked.
Tao Qingping has been very busy recently because of the affairs of the Dayuan Commercial Bank.
Tao Qingping looked up at Xu Ning, then shook his head with a helpless smile.
Recently, Xu Ning is at leisure, which makes him very envious.
"Sit down and write a letter home."
Tao Qingping said to Xu Ning.
"Book from home?"
Xu Ning took off his coat and leaned over.
"Just now the camp gave the news that everyone has been away from home for almost two months, which is quite a long time. Let everyone write family letters tonight, and someone will send them there tomorrow."
Tao Qingping explained to Xu Ning.
Xu Ning was quite surprised when he heard this.
The Black Armored Guard even specially delivered letters from home.
Although my group of people are away, they are not far from home, and it has only been a little over a month and a half. Although I miss them occasionally, it has not yet reached the point where I have to write a letter from home to express my thoughts.
This black armored guard really has a heart.
However, since there was someone to deliver the letter, Xu Ning naturally had to send a letter to his family.
He sat down, spread out the paper, picked up another brush prepared by Tao Qingping, moistened the ink, thought briefly, and started to write.
Taojiazhuang taught characters from a young age. Although Xu Ning was not in Taojiazhuang when he was a child, he was able to learn basic writing skills. Later, Guo Ye taught him.
So it is not difficult to write a letter to my family at this moment.
In the letter, Xu Ning mainly talked about his living environment and status. Among them, Xu Ning concealed his experiences such as being assassinated, and only talked about the good things.
In addition, Xu Ning also briefly expressed his longing for his family.
At the end of the letter, Xu Ning thought for a while, and finally said something to Guo Ye.
Guo Ye had helped him a lot before, and he sent a letter to express his gratitude again.
After finishing writing, Tao Qingping fetched the envelope.
Xu Ning dried the letter and put it in.
He entrusted the family letter to Tao Qingping, and it will be delivered to the courier tomorrow.
…
the next day.
The weather was fine and the sun was shining brightly.
Feng Sigua worked too hard last night. When he woke up, he found that he was already late.
Not caring about eating, Feng Sigua put on his clothes and trotted out the door without even washing his face.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of Weiyi in Fengliu Lane, Feng Sigua saw two fellow city guards guarding the gate.
When the two saw Feng Sigua, smiles suddenly appeared on their faces.
"Grandfather!"
Feng Sigua was startled by the sound of Gua Ye.
From the previous Guazi to Guazi brother, Feng Sigua is already satisfied.
There is no sign right now, and he suddenly became Gua Ye again, which makes Feng Sigua puzzled.
"What do you two mean?"
Feng Sigua asked.
"You don't know yet?"
One of the city guards came forward: "Master Xu has been appointed as the acting captain of our Fengliu Lane Wei Station!"
"what?!"
Feng Sigua almost jumped up from the spot.
"What did you say, say it again!"
Feng Sigua grabbed the city guard's shoulders and plucked his ears vigorously.
"The news that Mr. Xu has been appointed as the acting captain of our Weiyi station has come!"
Another city guard said with a smile.
After Feng Sigua confirmed that he had heard correctly, he slapped his thigh and immediately ran into Weiyi.
While running, Feng Sigua laughed "hahaha".
"This Feng Sigua, I really didn't expect that he hugged Mr. Xu's thigh..."
One of the city guards looked at Feng Sigua's back and said with envy in his tone, "If I was on duty that day, I should be the deputy next to Mr. Xu today."
"This kid is lucky..."
Another city guard was obviously extremely envious.
It is almost a certainty that Xu Ning will become an acting school lieutenant and become a regular in the future.
With such a young lieutenant, Feng Sigua's success is just around the corner. If all goes well, Feng Sigua might be able to get involved in the upper echelons of the city guard.
Feng Sigua entered Weiyi, and first ran to the notice board in Weiyi.
At the most conspicuous center of the bulletin board, Feng Sigua saw Xu Ning's letter of appointment.
Feng Sigua felt that his blood was hot, and his chest was full of pride.
Turn over!
Feng Sigua took a few deep breaths, trying to calm down.
He tidied up his messy clothes, then wiped his face and walked towards Xu Ning's study.
"My lord, congratulations!"
Feng Sigua entered the room and bowed solemnly to Xu Ning.
Seeing Feng Sigua's beaming expression, Xu Ning once wondered who was the acting captain.
"Congratulations."
Xu Ning smiled, and cut straight to the point: "Before, the person in charge of the city guard of our Weiyi station received money from Xinghe and others because he was too close to Chen Ren, and now he is being investigated thoroughly after being dismissed."
"Now I can be regarded as the official acting captain. With the power to appoint personnel, I plan to let you take this vacant position."
Xu Ning didn't avoid suspicion either.
Appointing the person in charge of the city guard of one's own guard post is itself one's own power.
Feng Sigua satisfied himself with his work, so it was an understandable choice to appoint him.
"Thank you for your promotion!"
Feng Sigua bowed again, his voice high-pitched.
Originally, I wanted to cast a long-term, but it turned into a short-term. Xu Ning started to move forward not long after hugging his thigh.
Feng Sigua felt that he was still in a dream, hanging in mid-air.
Feng Sigua knew very well that from now on, in Fengliu Lane Weiyi, apart from Xu Ning and the new black-armored guards, he, Feng Sigua, had the highest status.
"Old Feng, you can't be inflated."
Xu Ning looked at Feng Sigua showing some signs of emotional upheaval, and reminded: "Don't forget the lessons learned from the past."
"Yes, my lord."
Thinking of Chen Ren and others before, Feng Sigua also cleared his mind a lot.
He is also a smart person, knowing that Xu Ning has a bottom line in his conduct, so he has always followed Xu Ning's standards of words and deeds, and always reminded himself to be humble and down-to-earth.
Only when Xu Ning is satisfied with himself can he truly secure his position.
"My lord, do you want to change the study room where you do errands?"
Feng Sigua asked.
"No need for now."
Xu Ning waved his hand directly: "It's very good here."
"Then Chen Ren's previous study room is just so empty?"
Feng Sigua asked again.
"Let's leave it empty for now, and I'll move there after I become a real captain."
After a pause, Xu Ning continued, "In three days, the new guards of our Weiyi will probably arrive. You can find someone to tidy up their study rooms."
"Also, after a while you go to our new accountant at Weiyi, and check with him the accounts of Chen Ren's period. After checking, report to me."
Xu Ning asked again.
"Yes, my lord."
Feng Sigua suddenly felt a heavy weight on his shoulders.
Feng Sigua went out, and Xu Ning was left alone in the house.
He opened the wooden window to face the breeze.
Although it's not long after the New Year, there is already some warmth in the air.
"Now, I can be regarded as taking over Fengliu Lane Weiyi."
Xu Ning is also ready for a new journey brought about by the change of identity.
