— — — — —
#小information# A biography of a character will not continue until the end. The serialization adopts a random or alternating mode due to factors such as the author or the plot. After the series of the Biography of the Ranger has come to an end for the time being, the biography of another gay character who is also in this area of ​​the mandala will appear.
Before the text begins, I will send you the following sentence of the plot to whet your appetite - (The young man opened his eyes wide: "Senior Xiaoji, what do you want to do here?" Xiaoji raised his eyebrows: "Change the outcome of the war...")
(Giggle~ No worries, here is the text)

_____The scale of the mandala is not small, but the layout of the city is indeed a bit strange to outsiders: although the area is wide, the buildings in the city are not far apart from each other, and the connections between the markets are also very tight. This may be one of the reasons for the commercial prosperity of the mandala. With such a tight architectural style, even the government offices in the city are no exception. Apart from the only two-foot-plus open road that distinguishes them from residential buildings, the government offices are almost connected to residential areas and markets. However, since the design of the city is compact, what is surprising is that the roads opposite the residential buildings are extremely spacious. Even if it is used to facilitate caravan transportation, it is still obviously more than enough. On the spacious road, a person and a horse were moving forward slowly.
_____Before, there was still a dense flow of people of all kinds around us, but as we got farther and farther away from the market center and closer to the government office, the number of people seemed to have been arranged, and it gradually decreased layer by layer. The road from the market to the government office was not long, but when they reached the government office, only he and the dark horse were left. "Although the government office is close to the market, it still maintains a special atmosphere. Is it because the people in the city are not interested in politics, or is it caused by the 'majesty' of the city lord?" Xiao Ji looked at the building in front of him, which was the residence of the most powerful person in the city. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly and seemed to be talking to himself. The black horse behind him didn't seem to be as interested as he was, closing his eyes and breathing heavily. "But the real attraction of this mansion is not the 'facade'. The tower at the back is several stories higher... Huh? How come we are not the only people in the city who want to visit the city lord when they have something to do?" Xiao Ji was about to comment on the mansion. At that time, I noticed that the scene in front of the gate of the government was different from the deserted surroundings: the officers and soldiers guarding the gate of the government were surrounding a young man. Judging from the situation, the young man wanted to enter the mansion, but it seemed that he was not welcome. "Oops. We happened to be going to find the city lord, but we were blocked... What should we do?" Xiao Ji lowered the brim of his hat and said in a teasing tone, "That young man who is a bit unlucky in life is someone we met before." Hearing Xiao Ji's tone, Heima opened his eyes. After figuring out the sudden situation, he squinted at Xiao Ji, who was looking excited, and curled his lips, seeming to have a depressed expression on his face.
_____Xiaoji held his hat in hand, lowered his head, and approached them silently. He also took a closer look at the structure of the government building. The walls of this mansion are shorter than the buildings at the back... "I really need to meet the city lord! Isn't this the time when we need talents? Someone wants to take the initiative to join us. , He is not a corporal, but he is turned away. You are blind, can a leader be as ignorant as you and block your own development path? Just let me meet the city lord!" The young man told the officers and soldiers indignantly, and after speaking, he broke through the siege of the officers and soldiers and entered the government office. But no matter how correct the truth is, it can be seen from the unchanged expressions of the officers and soldiers that it is impossible for the young people to be let in. When he was about to knock away the officers and soldiers in front of him, sharp weapons with red tassels crossed in front of him. "In this important place of government, no one is allowed to enter! And the city lord has an order: No one will be allowed to visit during this period. Civilians, please go back! If you try to break in, you will be shot to death immediately!"The young man had to immediately stop moving forward. He looked at the sharp weapon that was almost placed on his neck, and then looked at the four big words on the paper posted on the door in front: "Recruiting Talents", and he suddenly shouted loudly: "Damn, damn! Sad, sad! "But after the young man had vented like this, he had no intention of leaving. Instead, he clenched his fists secretly... Just when the young man was about to take action, Xiao Ji, who had been standing aside for a while, reached out and grabbed his shoulder.
_____ Seeing him looking back at him with a complex expression such as surprise, Xiao Ji did not respond. Instead, he looked away from his face and said with a smile: "I'm really sorry, brother officer and soldier! Don't be nervous. That guy is a junior official I sent to explore the way first, but he offended the officers and soldiers because he was ignorant. Please let me take him back and deal with it properly. It's hard for the officers and soldiers. "The young man looked confused when he heard what Xiao Ji said. He was about to respond, but suddenly thought of something and said solemnly: "Please forgive me, master..." The expressions of the officers and soldiers remained unchanged and they said nothing. Xiao Ji pulled him and walked away from the door of the government office. "Senior Xiao Ji! Are you still here in the mandala? But didn't that guy from before say he would capture you alive after capturing the mandala? "After the young man left, he showed excitement when he opened his mouth. Xiaoji did not smile and said: "This is not the point, it's just you. Why do you want to die and throw away your life so easily if you have the ambition to show off your ambitions? You have the potential to become a hero but now is not the time. "The young man was stunned for a moment, with a hint of loneliness in his eyes. "However, since you are going to meet the city lord, and so am I, so I can help you, but you also need to help me, and you can't do it without some key things..." The young man opened his eyes wide: "Senior Xiaoji, what exactly do you want to do here? "Xiao Ji's lips curled up: "Change the outcome of the war..." "As arranged, I will take you in first. ""Um! If it really works, then Senior Xiaoji, you will be a ‘god'! "By the way, what's your name?" "Xiaoji, who was walking to the government office again, suddenly stood up and turned around to ask. The young man seemed to be confident and replied with a smile: "My name is Tomato, and I am a person who will be famous in the future! "
_____"According to my observation, the government is definitely not inaccessible. It's just that sometimes, wishes can be conveyed without direct expression. With your attention purely on the front door, have you noticed the unattractive tower protruding from the back? That's the big factor in decisions and changes. Because of that, I can make it easy for them. "Xiao Ji, who covered his eyes with a hat, smiled and said to the tomato behind him as he walked, "Just wait aside for a moment, I'll signal you to follow me in." " Tomato tilted his gaze slightly to notice the taller tower inside the palace, showing a curious but confused expression. Xiaoji did not explain further, because after saying that, he had already arrived at the front door of the palace again. And Tomato stood aside, holding the black horse.
_____ noticed that someone was approaching again, and regardless of whether they had seen it before, the officers and soldiers on both sides of the station suddenly lined up in front of the door. They said almost in unison: "The palace is an important place, idlers please leave! "Xiaoji seemed not to have heard the warning, and still stepped up the steps. The officers and soldiers decisively stretched out their spears. "Please don't come any closer..." At this time, Xiaoji, who was silent before they were allowed to finish their accustomed words, spoke up: "It turns out that this is the way to treat guests in Tancheng. Instead of making tea and wine to make a soft drink, you directly show your trump card and show off your master's prestige! This is indeed very embarrassing, but it is also a great insult to the visiting staff from other countries! "Xiao Ji raised his eyes, and under his hat, his slightly closed eyes showed disdain for the gleaming sharp weapon. "Cun City Lord!"Xiao Ji didn't target the dull officers and soldiers in front of him at all, but since Xiao Ji spoke, the previously expressionless officers and soldiers had a look of uneasiness on their faces. Some of the officers and soldiers' faces were even covered with sweat, and the sharp weapons in their hands seemed to have lost their texture and became shaky. "The special envoy of the Qingcheng Kingdom came to pay a visit! No matter how busy you are, you still have to come out and say a few words. Can you send me away? Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to go back and report the situation if I couldn't even get through the door! "The officers and soldiers were looking at each other at this time, panicking. But they still had some consciousness and asked: "City Lord, you said today that you will not see guests, so why don't you know that there is a special envoy coming, and you give us other orders? In other words, no one will come to visit today... What's more, you are just talking and have no proof! "Hearing what his colleague said, other officers and soldiers seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw. They all agreed and stretched out their sharp weapons towards Xiao Ji. Xiao Ji raised his eyebrows slightly, and suddenly his expression became solemn: "I am here because the monarch of Qingcheng Kingdom and the Lord Cun made a private agreement secretly, and I came with important confidential information... Do you understand the reason why Lord Cun told him not to see guests? Could it be that you and other lowly people also want to know the secret, or do you hope to steal it? "Xiaoji's sharp eyes glanced at the wandering officers and soldiers, then suddenly turned around and said quickly, "That's all! The Lord of Cuncheng treated guests so well, and the system of the mandala was really strict, so I had no choice but to return without success and report the truth. It's okay for me to be punished, but it's like this. I'm afraid the King of Qingcheng will have some opinions about Lord Cun…” Regardless of the reaction of the officers and soldiers, Xiao Ji finished speaking and left.
_____“Please stay, Special Envoy! The previous presumptuousness was really the fault of ignorant people like us. Sir, please ignore the previous suspicion. The villain does not know the truth and only lives for a few mouthfuls of food. He cannot afford to commit a serious crime! The little man will open the front door for you. "The hat is tilted slightly, but it just covers Xiao Ji's expression, and only the curve of his upper body is visible.
_____" It's just that the city lord is not in the house right now. The special envoy can go in first and sit down and enjoy tea. I will inform the city lord and let him have a confidential talk with you in person. "Xiao Ji turned around and said with an undiminished smile: "You still don't trust me? No need to explain, I can go to him directly, and I also brought a 'gift'. Is he still at the training ground in the back? "The officers and soldiers were all stunned. They only showed expressions of extreme surprise but forgot to reply. Xiao Ji pursed his lips and gave an explanation: "This is not so surprising. I am just speculating, because this tower that only exists in the training ground is too eye-catching, and if it is not a drill, the tower will not have a handsome flag. "The officers and soldiers kept their surprised expressions, looked at each other a few times, and said hesitantly: "Yes... please. "
_____Xiao Ji turned around and waved to Tomato, and then asked: "Can my followers and horses enter? "The officers and soldiers looked at the approaching people and horses, and fell silent, but they had no intention of stopping them.

_____ After all, it was time to have a chat with the Lord of Cunwo City.

Small theater
(a small theater version of the dialogue between Tomato and Dark Horse when Xiaoji was negotiating with the officers and soldiers)
----- —
Black Horse (looked sideways at Tomato, then turned away, and took a few breaths): Ahem—
Tomato (remembering something): That's right! Remember that the horse next to Senior Xiaoji can talk!
Black Horse (whistling, looking away but sweating on his forehead): Shhh—
Tomato (both eyes glowing): What a strong physique, dark skin...not as good as... ...
Black Horse (Thinking: I don't have that kind of hobby, and I won't betray Ma Ge!—Unless there is wine)
Tomato (drooling): Chop it, does the cooked meat taste good?
Black Horse meat (rolls eyes, foaming at the mouth):…
