Every time I come home, my wife is making garbage

Chapter 137 I don't want this kind of merit
Adrian, the lord of Xihuang City, recently received some bad news.

The big city in the east, Guangming City, is gathering troops.

The Blackhearted Archmage led 500 elite Knights of the Wise King and, under the pretext of suppressing the impostor, he recruited the lords of several cities in the western part of the kingdom to join the war.

More than 10 lords, big and small, responded to the call of the Black-hearted Wizard and led their armies to join.

With the City of Light as its center, an army of more than 3000 people has gathered. Together with the 300 Knights Templar led by Glass, the total number of people is close to 3500.

Adrian also received a call-up.

But there was no need for him to go to Guangming City, because the army had to pass through his Xihuang Town to enter the Western Forest. He refused to go to Guangming City on the grounds that "to avoid wasting food on the way back and forth, I will join you when you pass through Xihuang Town."

He bought himself some time to think about what he should do.

A trusted advisor whispered, "Lord, what are your plans? The army is here, and if you don't obey, you will be destroyed."

Adrian whispered, "You heard the last battle in the Catman Village, right? The Black Knight personally acknowledged the identity of Elizabeth X."

The trusted advisor whispered, "I heard it! But the Wang family has been destroyed for 16 years. Even if she is of the true king's bloodline, what's the use? Who can resist Ugumantai and the Church of Light?"

Adrian gritted his teeth and said, "No matter how fancy the words or how high-sounding the reasons are, they cannot change the fact that Ugumante is a usurper. He is powerful now only because many people were deceived 16 years ago. Everyone thought that the great wizard Antonio controlled the royal family and turned the queen into his puppet. Ugumante launched a coup in order to 'clean up the court'... As a result, during the coup, Antonio, who was angry and embarrassed, killed the king's family, cutting off the royal bloodline, and then he nominated Ugumante to sit on the throne."

At this point, Adrian said angrily: "I was deceived too! I also thought it was true, until the battle in the Catman Village, when I heard the words of the Black Knight Fed with my own ears."

The trusted advisor whispered, "Whoever has the bigger fist has the truth. This is how the world has been run since ancient times. Lord, our power is not enough to reveal the truth to the world. Even if what you announce is the truth, it will be crushed into a lie by the Knights of Ugumantai."

"No!" Adrian: "There are still many lords loyal to the Wang family. Everyone is just deceived. If they knew that the blood of the Wang family is still in the world, they will definitely turn against them."

"If one hundred, no, one hundred and fifty small lords are willing to stand up! Ugumantai's rule will be shaken."

"If only if." The trusted advisor sighed, "If no one stands up, we will be like an egg hitting a rock, with only one way to go, and even after death we will be labeled as traitors and will never be able to turn things around."

Adrian's heart skipped a beat...

Uncomfortable!

I don’t know what to do!

At this moment, a soldier ran in from outside: "My Lord, the vanguard of the Knights of the Wise King has arrived and is knocking at the east gate."

Adrian: "Ah!"

He quickly straightened his clothes and ran out to meet him.

Outside the east gate of Xihuang Town, a vanguard of about 100 people, led by a knight, lined up outside the town gate. The knight was arrogant, with an attitude of "city people looking at country bumpkins", and looked down on Adrian: "Open the gate quickly! The army will be here soon, prepare houses, food and drinks..."

Adrian cursed in his heart, but didn't dare to say anything more at this time. He quickly told his men to open the town gate and welcome the Knights of the Wise King in.

The leading knight snorted twice, rode his tall horse, and slowly walked towards the town gate. Just as he was about to enter, suddenly, another knight galloped on the official road in the east, shouting: "Urgent news! Urgent news!"

The knight turned his head sharply.

Adrian also looked up curiously.

The messenger knight shouted on his horse: "The impostor led 40 guards and appeared at the northern border of the kingdom. They are heading to Huangsha Pass. It seems that they plan to cross Huangsha Pass and escape to the desert kingdom of Kote."

Knight: "Fuck? Wasn't she in the western forest? How did she appear on the northern border?"

Messenger Knight: "I am just a weak, pitiful and helpless messenger. I only deliver messages and know nothing else. The Blackhearted Mage asked you to return to Sunshine City immediately. He is preparing a strategic-level portal to teleport the entire army to Yellow Sand Pass to prevent the impostor from escaping into the desert."

The knight cursed "Shit" and suddenly turned his horse's head to the north: "Hurry, let's go back to Sunshine City."

The Knights of the Wise King immediately turned around.

There was no time to enter Xihuang Town, and the entire army ran desperately.

Adrian also heard it, and was slightly stunned. He shouted at the knight's back: "There is a war at Huangsha Pass on the northern border. Do I, a small lord on the western border, still need to go?"

The knight said without even turning his head: "You useless bastard, don't go there! Just guard your West Wasteland town."

Adrian: “…”

The word "waste" sounds unhappy, but Adrian is happy that he doesn't have to participate in the hunt for the impostor. The unhappiness and happiness offset each other, and his mentality suddenly becomes very stable.

He waved at the knight's back and said in his heart, "Goodbye."

The trusted advisor came up from behind and whispered, "Lord, in this way, it seems that we have lost the opportunity to make merit and be promoted."

Adrian: "I really want to be promoted and leave this border, but there are thousands of ways to make merit, and I don't need this one."

The trusted advisor nodded and said nothing more.
-
Spring is getting closer day by day.

Zhang Jingyi's cultural and creative park is taking shape day by day.

The speed at which the cultural and creative park was built by the construction company of Zhang Feng and Zhang Yang really opened Zhang Jingyi's eyes. In just one winter, the first three blocks had basically taken shape.

The three small areas, the Kobold Mine, the Catman Village, and the Werewolf Town, have now been developed and are basically ready to be put into use at any time.

Zhang Jingyi and Zhang Yang were walking around the construction site, looking around. Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but sigh, "Brother, your construction team is so efficient."

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Because cultural and creative parks are all bungalows, not buildings, they are of course built quickly. Let me tell you, in 2018, Changsha Malanshan Cultural and Creative Park, a 2.7 square meter park, was built in just six months. In comparison, yours is not that fast."
