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

Bai Zhanqiu raised his wine glass as he spoke, "So you don't need to worry about the Prince of Shunyi. Just send someone to pay tribute, keep a low profile, and speak nicely to satisfy his vanity and interests. That should keep him in check."

I'll have Pheasant Neck and Bamboo Viper handle this; they're experts at it."

"As for you," Bai Zhanqiu said, looking at Su Zhan with a more sincere smile.

"Just do what you're supposed to do. The remaining pack of stray dogs from the Agada tribe should be wiped out. Although the royal court has issued a warning, the rules on the grasslands haven't changed. Only those with strong fists can survive better. The stronger we appear, the more difficult we are to mess with. The Shunyi King will be less likely to touch us easily and will only think about how to use us. Go ahead and do it. If the sky falls, the adults of the Great Wu Empire will hold it up for us."

Su Zhan remained silent, slowly swirling his wine glass. Bai Zhanqiu's words sounded reasonable and revealed the backing and confidence of the Fierce Dragon Gang, but the unease in his heart had not completely dissipated.

Who are the leaders of the Great Wu Empire? What are their goals? Is it really so easy to control or even manipulate the Prince of Shunyi?

As the third-in-command, I'm getting deeper and deeper into this game, and more and more unable to extricate myself from it. Where will I end up?

He only wanted to leave with Lin Yuer, but the one-year agreement seemed to be getting entangled with more and more forces, making it increasingly difficult.

"I understand." Su Zhan finally finished his drink, his voice returning to calm.

"I will deal with the remnants of the Agada tribe as soon as possible. As for the affairs of the royal court, I will trouble the second leader to take care of them."

He didn't press the adults for details, knowing he wouldn't get a real answer anyway.

"Great! That felt good!"

Bai Zhanqiu patted Su Zhan on the shoulder with satisfaction, "This is the third leader of my Fierce Dragon Gang."

"Come on, let's not just drink and eat meat. This is top-quality lamb, it won't taste good when it's cold."

Su Zhan picked up his chopsticks and took a piece of meat. The hot pot was still steaming and smelled delicious, but he knew that undercurrents were already surging in this seemingly peaceful Stone City.

Su Zhan ate a few bites of meat, then got up to say goodbye, leaving Bai Zhanqiu to continue enjoying his meal alone.

After Su Zhan left, he went straight to find the wild chicken neck.

Pheasant Neck immediately reported back to Su Zhan.

"Any news about the Agada tribe lately?"

The pheasant nodded.

"My lord, there has been a lot of news about the Agada tribe, but it is too complicated and too chaotic. It is really inconvenient for us to take action against them. They are not as united as the Mandu tribe. They are now torn apart."

Su Zhan nodded, and then said.

"Tell me all their news."

Wild Chicken Neck made no attempt to hide anything and told everyone he knew about the Agada tribe.

"After the death of the chief and second chief of the Agada tribe, all the men under their command went their separate ways and split into five forces, each joining one of the five nearby tribes."

If we want to wipe them out completely, then we will inevitably clash with these five tribes.

Although these five tribes were just ordinary grassland people who had wandered onto the grasslands, they were all quite numerous and each one was very difficult to deal with.

Upon hearing this, Su Zhan's eyes flashed with cold light. He didn't care who these remnants of the Agada tribe had pledged allegiance to, nor how powerful the tribe that took them in was. In his view, these were completely insignificant.

Now that the Fierce Dragon Gang has taken over Stone City, their main task is to clear away obstacles. Therefore, any tribe that dares to take in the Agada tribe is openly opposing the Fierce Dragon Gang of Stone City.

Su Zhan's actions to eliminate them were justified, and their strength was not even within Su Zhan's consideration.

No matter how powerful the tribe is, Su Zhan will take action this time, both to establish his authority and for his own safety.

Su Zhan had a compelling reason to take action, so he immediately ordered Wild Chicken Neck to gather all the information about these five tribes, determine the relative strengths and power among them, and decide which one to attack next.

Pheasant Neck nodded and then left, while Su Zhan returned to the courtyard to keep Lin Yu'er company.

Lin Yuer has been quite idle lately. At first, she stayed in the courtyard, but she was very worried all day long.

But as life gradually stabilized, her worries disappeared.

Lin Yuer had nothing to do at home and spent her days hoping that her brother and husband would come back.

But her brother was busy, and her husband was busy, so she became even more bored.

Moreover, there's no sign of pregnancy in her belly. If she were pregnant, she could be considered to be resting at home.

But since there's no sign of pregnancy, I'll just have to find something to do first.

Lin Yuer didn't want to go into business because she was the wife of the third leader of the Fierce Dragon Gang.

If she were to start a business, it would probably be very troublesome. In the end, it would be unclear whether the money was earned through her own abilities or given to her by others.

Lin Yuer didn't have any other special skills. After thinking it over, he decided that he could open a school. After all, Lin Yuer came from a prestigious family and had been well-versed in literature since childhood. He would be a very good teacher.

The gang members were very welcoming of Lin Yuer's school, and they all sent their children to Lin Yuer to study and learn.

Lin Yuer only charges half price for children from the gang to attend school, and also provides a meal for students from outside the gang.

Such a school has very good conditions, and many people in the city like to send their children to Lin Yuer's school.

As Lin Yuer's school grew larger and larger, he took in several old teachers to teach the children, who read and wrote every day.

Although reading and writing on the grasslands won't lead to officialdom, it will broaden your knowledge, and being able to write is a skill in itself, which will allow you to support yourself in the future.

Moreover, in this era, being able to read and write is a natural skill, which is much more promising than being a merchant or a laborer.

So Lin Yuer is busy every day and feels very fulfilled.

The gang members also took great care of Lin Yuer's school; they couldn't be happier to have such a good teacher for their children.

Anyone who dares to cause trouble at the school gate will be killed by the Fierce Dragon Gang.

Bai Zhanqiu was very supportive of Lin Yuer's situation. After all, providing such a good school and improving the overall quality of the Menglong Gang members was also a way to develop and strengthen the Menglong Gang.

When Su Zhan was free, he would sit and play in the classroom.

Just as he was watching Lin Yuer and the children reading aloud, Wild Chicken Neck suddenly appeared.

"Third Master, here is all the information on the five tribes. Please take a look."

Su Zhan took the parchment scroll handed to him by the pheasant's neck, his gaze calm and collected as he scanned the densely marked information about the five tribes: Gray Wolf Tribe, Black Bear Tribe, White Deer Tribe, Golden Eagle Tribe, and Bloodhoof Tribe.

They were like malignant tumors scattered around Stone City, and it was they who sheltered Agada's remnants.
