Battle for Northern Frontier: The game begins with the grassland woman buying him.

That Eighth Master clearly pocketed all the money and treated them like fools.

"Brother, this Eighth Master probably isn't even a minor leader, is he? Are we going to lose all our money?"

A hint of helplessness flashed in Lin Qingshan's eyes, but he remained stubborn.

"Don't worry, Eighth Master has already agreed, so nothing will happen."

Su Zhan didn't argue with him. Since things had come to this point, as long as his elder brother was happy, nothing else mattered.

However, if one could actually set up camp in Stone City, then even becoming a street patrolman wouldn't be out of the question.

Let's at least settle down first, and then make further plans.

With these thoughts in mind, Su Zhan and Lin Qingshan headed towards the inn.

Although this trip cost 100 taels of silver, Su Zhan still had 200 taels of silver in his hands, so he could still make ends meet.

On the way, the two bought some food and drinks, and then went to the inn.

Lin Qingshan was naturally very happy, as if joining the Fierce Dragon Gang would put his mind at ease.

"Su Zhan, when we both get in there, we have to work hard. I think this is our chance to turn things around."

Su Zhan nodded outwardly, but that wasn't what he really thought.

Who knows if this is an opportunity? Maybe it'll be a hardship? We'll find out when the time comes.

Lin Qingshan, standing to the side, had already begun to daydream.

"With a powerful backer, we can buy a small courtyard house and then live a peaceful life."

Su Zhan thought buying a small courtyard was indeed a good idea, but he didn't know how much a courtyard in the city was worth.

But now he felt it wasn't a good time to buy a house. He didn't know if he could stay with the Raptors gang, so buying a house was too hasty.

So only Lin Qingshan kept talking, and Su Zhan didn't say anything. In the end, the two of them arrived at the inn.

Lin Yu'er is waiting for them to return in their inn room.

"Brother, husband, where did you go?"

Lin Qingshan was very happy.

"Fish, we have a backer now! It's the Fierce Dragon Gang from Stone City. They're a gang made up of Han Chinese. We don't have to be afraid of those nomadic people anymore!"

Lin Yuer was very happy to hear this, after all, having a gang and a backer on the grassland meant she wouldn't be all alone.

Upon hearing this, Su Zhan thought to himself, "If Lin Yu'er knew that Lin Qingshan spent 100 taels of silver, I wonder what she would think?"

However, seeing that the two of them seemed quite happy, Han Cheng decided it was best not to say anything and let them enjoy their happiness for a while.

So, after everyone had had their fun, Su Zhan took out some food and invited everyone to eat together.

Lin Qingshan was still very happy after finishing his meal.

"I wonder if this city is any fun. I've been so busy gathering information that I haven't really paid attention. Shall we go explore it later?"

Lin Yuer clearly wanted to go too, but she didn't say it. Instead, she looked at Su Zhan with expectant eyes.

Su Zhan couldn't help but smile when he saw Lin Yuer's little expression.

"Sure!"

Lin Yuer was overjoyed upon hearing this: "That's wonderful!"

The three of them then tidied up and went straight out.

……

Stone City is still very lively during the day, with people everywhere, including passing merchants and local residents. Various shouts and calls rise and fall, making it a very lively place.

Su Zhan and his two companions walked down the street, buying things every now and then.

Since arriving in this world, Su Zhan felt so relaxed for the first time, as if all those messy things had disappeared.

A group of people walked on the street, and when they got tired, they went to a teahouse to rest.

Just as the waiter brought the tea over, Su Zhan took a sip and suddenly heard crying coming from outside the window.

Su Zhan and the others were sitting by the window, with a clear view of the street scene. Su Zhan looked toward the sound and saw a little girl sitting on the ground, with wild vegetables scattered around her and a bamboo basket that had been kicked and broken.

"Waaaaah..."

In front of the little girl were several young men. Su Zhan recognized them from their clothes; they were all members of the Fierce Dragon Gang because they were wearing the same clothes as Master Ba San.

The man in the lead grinned maliciously at the young girl and said, "You little brat! What did I tell you last time? If you don't pay your stall fee, and I see you on this street again, I'll break your legs! Tell me, which leg will I break today?!"

The little girl trembled and cried out, "Master Dog, my mother is sick, and I have no money for medicine. Please, have mercy on me!"

Dog Master roared, "What kind of mercy do you expect me to show? If everyone expects me to show mercy, how am I supposed to starve? If you want to set up a stall, hand over three taels of silver! Otherwise, I'm definitely cutting off your leg today!"

As he spoke, Dog held out his hand, and one of his henchmen immediately handed him a stick. Dog took the stick in his hand and weighed it in his hand, his face full of ferocity.

Those watching the spectacle dared not speak, but their eyes were full of sympathy.

The commotion on the street grew louder and louder, but the surrounding people only dared to glance at it before leaving immediately, and none of the nearby vendors dared to come out and stop it.

Even the people in the teahouse turned a blind eye to this, and some even watched the scene with great interest, seemingly looking forward to Dog Master breaking the little girl's legs.

Lin Qingshan and Lin Yu'er also saw the commotion on the street. Lin Qingshan frowned but didn't say anything. Lin Yu'er, who was standing next to him, couldn't stand it anymore and whispered, "That Dog Master is too domineering. How can he bully people like this?"

Su Zhan scoffed at this, "Maybe it's because they're from the Fierce Dragon Gang!"

Lin Yu'er was immediately stunned: "They're from the Fierce Dragon Gang? Is that the Fierce Dragon Gang that my brother and husband are going to join?"

Su Zhan nodded, then looked at Lin Qingshan, but Lin Qingshan gritted his teeth, turned his head away, and refused to look at anything outside the window.

Seeing this, Lin Yuer's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt, but she said nothing.

Su Zhan took in Lin Qingshan and Lin Yuer's reactions, but said nothing and continued to look out the window.

He did have the ability to save the little girl, but he didn't want to because there were too many people who needed saving, and he couldn't save them all.

He is not a saint, not in either of his lives; he is just an ordinary person who can only take care of the people he cares about.

Lin Yuer is the person he cares about most in this life, and Lin Qingshan is Lin Yuer's brother. Lin Qingshan is now single-mindedly thinking about joining the Fierce Dragon Gang, so Su Zhan can only watch the little girl on the street and act as a spectator, just like the other people on the street.

At this moment, Dog Master's men had already stepped forward and pinned down the little girl. The little girl struggled desperately, tears streaming down her face, and kept begging for mercy, but Dog Master remained unmoved, even excited, gesturing with the stick between the little girl's legs as if he were having a hard time deciding.

"Which one should I choose?" Dog Lord muttered to himself.

Just as Dog was scaring the little girl, a cold voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Damn it, such a nice young girl, and you just break her leg like that?"

The henchmen immediately made way for him, and a man with half his face swollen stepped forward.

The man glanced at the little girl and nodded in satisfaction.

"What an adorable child! It would be such a shame if he lost his leg. Why don't you come with me? I'll find you a good job."

Su Zhan squinted as soon as he saw the man, because he recognized him as the cross-eyed man he had met in the alley the night before.
