Special Expert of Beauty CEO-Chapter 1598 - 1602: A Debt of Gratitude

"Alright, as long as you agree!"

Xiao Zhan stared at Qin Tian, then threw a heavy bomb: "Qin Tian, I have already applied to the Imperial City, promoting you to the first deputy governor of the City Guard Army."

Swish!

Qin Tian was startled, his whole body trembled!

The first deputy governor of the City Guard Army?!

This...

Qin Tian was dumbfounded. With his current military achievements and connections within the City Guard Army, being promoted to deputy governor was absolutely impossible. Xiao Zhan actually proposed to promote him to first deputy governor? How is that possible!

"Governor, please don't joke around. My current rank is two levels away from deputy governor. To be promoted to first deputy governor, that's absolutely impossible. Even if you wrote a memorial to the Imperial City, they wouldn't approve it."

Qin Tian said with a smile.

"They will. If it were in the past, surely not. But this time, I am confident."

Xiao Zhan stared at Qin Tian, saying: "The first deputy governor has the power to act as the governor in the governor's absence. Qin Tian, do you understand my painstaking intentions in promoting you like this?"

Painstaking intentions?

At this moment, Qin Tian didn't truly understand why Xiao Zhan was suddenly being so good and friendly to him. What is the reason?

"I'm frightened and trembling. Please, governor, enlighten me." Qin Tian stood up, bowed with hands folded.

"Haha, no need to explain. In the future, you will understand everything."

Xiao Zhan chuckled and said: "I have already decided to have a decisive battle with the Dragon Clan. Qin Tian, I now order you to lead your troops to garrison and await orders at the rear of Sea City's Xiaochi Town. If Zhao Tuo's men act out, you may take any necessary action. I grant you all command authority on-site."

"Governor..."

Regarding Xiao Zhan's order, Qin Tian knew well that Xiao Zhan was protecting himself, sparing him from the influence of Zhao Tuo and the Dragon Clan's army attacking the city!

But in this way, Xiao Zhan's direct lineage troops lost fifty thousand men. Not only would they be unable to contend with the Dragon Clan army, but should Zhao Tuo's people cause trouble or misuse power, Xiao Zhan might fail against Zhao Tuo in internal conflict!

Xiao Zhan was determined to defend Sea City with the resolve to die!

Yet, with the resolve to die, he still thought of protecting Qin Tian!

Why did Xiao Zhan suddenly place so much importance on him? While Xiao Zhan always treated him well, cherishing him to this extent, Qin Tian was completely unexpected!

"Governor, I am willing to fight with you! I will not leave!"

Qin Tian, being a grateful person, seeing Xiao Zhan treating him this way, immediately stood up and knelt before Xiao Zhan, saying: "Governor treats Qin Tian with loyalty and righteousness. Qin Tian will undoubtedly repay the governor with loyalty and righteousness!"

Xiao Zhan lifted him up, saying: "Qin Tian, I know your ambition. Don't worry; my sparing you is for the greater good. No need to be overly emotional. Stand up. Once my order is issued, it won't change. You must set off immediately!"

Xiao Zhan spoke with great determination. Qin Tian's repeated requests were mercilessly rejected by Xiao Zhan.

At this moment, Qin Tian's eyes moistened. He stood up, bowed three times to Xiao Zhan, and then slowly retreated.

On the way, Qin Tian's feelings remained intense.

All that Xiao Zhan had recently done for him seemed genuine, truly considering Qin Tian's interests.

Yet all this happened so quickly that Qin Tian didn't know how to repay Xiao Zhan's kindness.

Previously, Qin Tian had thought about gaining military accomplishments during this Dragon Clan attack. Now, all at once, his goal shifted to helping Xiao Zhan repel the enemy forces.

Keen on repaying kindness, Qin Tian would never allow Xiao Zhan to be manipulated by people from the Imperial City! Never allow Zhao Tuo to go too far!

However, now that Xiao Zhan's orders have been issued, Qin Tian can only take his troops to Xiaochi Town.

Fortunately, this town is only over two hundred kilometers away from Sea City, half a day's quick march.

Upon reaching Xiaochi Town, Qin Tian immediately ordered them to prepare the city defenses and placed the four True Qi Cannons in concealed positions.

These True Qi Cannons are made from special materials and cannot be transported using a Storage Bag. Therefore, Qin Tian could only have Lin Yu responsible for the safety of the True Qi Cannons.

In the following days, the Dragon Clan began gathering troops to launch an attack on Sea City.

Concerning the matters between Xiao Zhan and Zhao Tuo in Sea City, they did not have any conflicts but were peaceful and harmonious instead.

The more peaceful it was, the more concerned Qin Tian became.

"Is the storm about to arrive? What kind of result will I face this time?"

Qin Tian pondered beneath the sky in Xiaochi Town, feeling troubled.

"Boss, someone wants to see you, saying an old acquaintance sent a message."

Xiao Zhuang approached Qin Tian, saying: "This person came from the Imperial City, claiming to have brought a letter and must deliver it to you personally."

"From the Imperial City?" Qin Tian was stunned.

"Mm, the person seems to have good skills. Their movements were very concealed, arriving outside our camp. It's said they first went to Sea City and, after finding us in Xiaochi Town, followed all the way here. Seems like they came specially looking for you?"

"Oh?"

Upon hearing Xiao Zhuang, Qin Tian was startled, "An Imperial City visitor... My Imperial City... Is it Murong?"

Thinking it through, Qin Tian reckoned that aside from Murong Fei, no one else in the Imperial City would write to him, right?

"Bring him in," Qin Tian said.

Soon after, Xiao Zhuang brought in a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man vigilantly watched Qin Tian, saying: "General Qin Tian, I was sent by someone to bring you a letter, please."

The man handed the unmarked letter to Qin Tian, then cupped his fists, saying: "The letter has been delivered. I take my leave."

After speaking, the man left, leaving Qin Tian and Xiao Zhuang stunned.

Once the man left, Qin Tian slowly opened the envelope, noticing a familiar address—

Lonely Wolf!

Immediately, Qin Tian understood who wrote the letter. An ant Xu Junwei!

"Oh, this is a letter from a friend of mine. Making it so mysterious, haha..."

Concerning Long Yin's matter, Qin Tian didn't want his brothers to know, especially not wanting them to worry. Therefore, pretending to read it and then putting the letter away.

At night, back in the room, Qin Tian opened the envelope to see the content Xu Junwei wrote to him, aside from greetings and peace, mainly about the Dragon Clan's hidden White Fox in East Capital City!

"According to my investigation, the Dragon Clan's White Fox should be a man, around forty or fifty years old, still hiding within East Capital City. Previously, he was a righteous man with a loyal heart, always revered Long Jun. Later, Long Jun was killed, stirring him to become a Long Yin."

"Lonely Wolf, this information I managed to obtain under great effort in the Imperial City, hoping it aids your contact with White Fox. Take care, Ant."

Reading Xu Junwei's letter, Qin Tian was astonished.

"A man? Then I've been suspecting the wrong people before?"

Qin Tian frowned deeply.
