Xigou cocked an ear to listen, then suddenly transmitted his voice, "Is that true? So you're telling me, you're now the third in command? Your position is only subordinate to the County Magistrate, his second son, and this Chief Constable?"
Fang Zhixing mused, "It seems to be the case, and I might even sit on an equal footing with the County Magistrate's second son and the Chief Constable."
Xigou immediately expressed his astonishment and doubt, "That can't be right, can it? Don't you think there's a problem?"
Fang Zhixing narrowed his eyes slightly and snorted, "What problem? Are you saying you can't bear to see me succeed?"
Xigou scoffed, "Have you been so dazzled by your joy that you've lost your wits? Think about it, you're a newcomer, just arrived, with no qualifications to speak of, yet you're entrusted with a heavy responsibility just because you've killed a few water bandits and have decent archery skills? Doesn't this feel like a huge trap to me?"
