Lin Kai felt that the world shouldn't be like this.

At the very least, you can't always guess the beginning correctly but miss the middle, and end even more so...

"My sword weighs over fifty pounds..."

Lin Kai glanced at the sword in his hand and his lips twitched.

I thought to myself, "What do you mean?"

"I don't care about you..."

Looking through the smoke and dust at the woman in front of him, who was standing with her hands on her hips and roaring angrily, Lin Kai snorted coldly.

Then, Lin Kai gripped the hilt of the sword and thrust it forward.

next moment.

"Pfft!"

Blood spurted out.

【目标つふぬぬ,て&%¥*,%*ほ完成】(Actually: The target character dies, the mission cannot be completed, and it is automatically judged as completed)

[Host has obtained the Lion's Roar!]

[けLion’s Roar (Spirit +30%, ぬせの词将み有ひふは力, みeasilyつぬねみのは心)] (Actual: Roofing Lion’s Roar (Spirit +30%, the words you speak will be more contagious, and can easily win over a woman’s heart))

...

As the smoke and dust dissipated.

"I'll make you, a general, unable to even hold your sword properly... I'll make you, a general, neglect your defense and instead have your entire army celebrate your birthday..."

Looking at the corpse lying on the ground, Lin Kai spat.

He stabbed her four or five times in succession.

As the stench of blood filled the air, the lobby fell into complete silence.

"Who is the magistrate?"

Lin Kai looked up.

After he finished speaking, everyone in the hall exchanged glances, meeting Lin Kai's gaze.

Just as I was about to say something.

"We men already enjoy many conveniences in this society, and it is our duty to always yield to women."

"Yet you have now killed a frail woman in full view of everyone. Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by the world?"

A man with a handsome face, white teeth, red lips, and rouge on his face, holding a folding fan and dressed in light blue casual clothes, pushed through the crowd and slowly walked out.

Lin Kai: ? Who are you?

"Since that's the case, then you..."

With a cold snort, Lin Kai, carrying the blood-dripping longsword, walked towards the man.

She had just walked ten steps in front of the man.

"What, you can do it, but others can't say anything? Is your male chauvinism that severe?"

Guan Xu then angrily rebuked him.

After saying that, Guan Xu turned his head and his gaze lingered on Yan Zhixi's corpse for a moment.

"A respectable man like you not only fails to cherish and show deference to women, but also cruelly murders vulnerable women? I am utterly ashamed to be associated with you!"

glaring at Lin Kai, Guan Xu spat.

Sigh, it's all my fault... I didn't have time to react before General Yan was killed...

But General Yan, rest assured, I, Guan, have a deep affection for you and will never live alone!

Once Guan has thoroughly cursed this shameless man to death and convicted him, Guan will come and keep you company!

Thinking about this...

"Where is the Dingnan Army! Seize this shameless scoundrel!"

Guan Xu spoke loudly.

...

Strictly speaking, Guan Xu really didn't have time to react, just like everyone else in the hall.

After all, kicking down the door, walking in, and then stabbing someone to death... that's not something someone of status would do...

However, Lin Kai was completely dumbfounded at this moment.

Are these really words coming from a man's mouth? And he says them so matter-of-factly?

As Lin Kai's suspicions deepened.

"Scumbag?"

Hearing this roar, Lin Kai came to his senses.

"Then I'll accept this compliment..."

Taking another step, Lin Kai, carrying the blood-dripping longsword, walked towards Guan Xu.

As for the meaning behind Guan Xu's words, Lin Kai didn't care much.

What a joke! My men are down below. There are only a few dozen armored men in the main hall right now. Why would I be afraid of that?

He saw Lin Kai walking towards him, getting closer and closer.

"Yanyi! Are you deaf?"

"General Yan was killed by this man! Don't you want to avenge General Yan?"

Guan Xu turned his head to look at the armored man on his left and angrily rebuked him.

Upon hearing this...

"I……"

Yan Yi's lips trembled slightly.

His fists clenched and unclenched repeatedly.

When Lin Kai thrust his longsword at Guan Xu, the tip of the sword was less than 5 inches from Guan Xu's throat.

"Yan Zhixi is utterly unfit to be a general! How can a garrison commander order his entire army to celebrate a birthday before a major attack?"

Yan Yi's eyes turned red as she looked at Guan Xu and roared angrily.

After that.

Just as Lin Kai was taken aback and stopped his sword in its trajectory.

"The guilty general Yan Yi is willing to surrender, and the more than 2000 soldiers of the Dingnan Army are also willing to surrender together!"

Yan Yi knelt down before Lin Kai.

...

Lin Kai felt that this was another unexpected development.

He hesitated for a moment.

Lin Kai continued thrusting his longsword forward.

"Pfft!"

Blood was sprayed into the air.

"Immediately order the Dingnan Army not to resist."

Lin Kai turned to look at Yan Yi.

Upon hearing this...

He glanced at Guan Xu, who was lying on the ground clutching his throat, and then at Lin Kai, whose dark red armor was stained with blood.

"The guilty shall obey your command."

Yan Yi lowered her head and cupped her hands in a respectful gesture.

...

With Yan Yi's words, the Dingnan Army in Rongyang City naturally gave up even the slightest resistance.

Then the Tiandilai Restaurant can basically be declared as having fallen.

However, strictly speaking, Tiandilai Restaurant was not alone, because in Rongyang City, curses were constantly being heard from the skies above several powerful families.

And then they tidied up the world and came to the restaurant.

Choi Ki has also compiled a list.

After receiving the list, Lin Kai immediately ordered 30000 soldiers to enter the city.

Then.

Curses and roars echoed endlessly over Rongyang City, occasionally punctuated by an increasingly heavy stench of blood.

It continued until almost 7 PM.

As the nauseating stench of blood began to permeate the air above Rongyang City.

Rongyang City, the town general's mansion, the main building.

"How's the situation in Rongyang City?"

Setting down the dossier in his hand, Lin Kai looked at Cui Ji, sat in the main seat, and spoke calmly.

Although I was disgusted today, so much time has passed... and I just vented my frustration at the drill ground...

Well, with the unexpected gain of Yan Yi, and the unexpected gain of 2000 Dingnan soldiers... I can't keep a gloomy face anymore...

"All 1361 people inside the county government office have been killed. Their families... the soldiers are taking action one after another..."

"There were three girls' schools in Rongyang City, with a total of over 2400 students... The schools have now been demolished, and the soldiers will take action against those who have been detained..."

"As for the proceeds of the confiscation..."

Cui Ji stood on the ground and looked at Lin Kai, who was sitting in the main seat.

"There are a total of 3 taels of gold and 40 taels of silver. As for the rest, there are only some spices and rouge..."

Turning to the last page of the ledger, Choi Ki cautiously began to speak.

Lin Kai: ?

"What's going on?"

Lin Kai's eyelids twitched, and he looked at Cui Ji in disbelief.

"According to what Guan Xu saw in his study, Yan Zhixi repeatedly asked the entire city to raise funds..."

"For example, when building streets, it requires aristocratic families to contribute 5 taels of gold, while nearby commoners contribute 500 taels; and Yan Zhixi occasionally encourages the city's residents to pay a 'secondary daughter-loving tax' or a 'third daughter-loving tax'..."

Choi Ki shrank his neck.

"..."

Lin Kai's silence was deafening.

After a while.

"What about provisions?"

Lin Kai took a deep breath to calm his thoughts.

"A total of twelve granaries were captured, but they were all empty. Even after cleaning them all, there was still no grain left..."

"What's going on now?"

"Magistrate Guan Xu believed that men should be more compassionate, so he ordered the construction of more than twenty shelters for stray animals in Rongyang City, and also opened the granaries from time to time to care for these stray animals..."

"Bang!"

A dull sound rang out, directly interrupting Cui Ji's words.

next moment.

"You, go and convey my order: raze the Guan family to the ground. If I find even half an earthworm still alive by dawn tomorrow, I will hold these people accountable."

Lin Kai threw the broken half of the handrail to the ground and stood up.

Well, this Rongyang City is truly beyond saving.

"As you command, young master."

Shrinking his neck, Choi Ki quickly bowed and accepted.

"What about Yan Yi? And Dingnan Army?"

"The Dingnan Army did indeed disperse and be distributed among various camps as the young master instructed; as for Yan Yi, after leaving the drill ground at dusk, she seemed like a completely different person..."

"?"

...

Yan Yi was indeed shocked.

Around 3:30 PM, Lin Kai arrived at the drill ground, naturally accompanied by the 'Deputy Commander of the Dingnan Army'.

However, after arriving at the training ground...

"Who exactly is General Lin?"

"Not only can he accurately hit a target 500 paces away while riding a horse, but he can also wield a spear weighing over 100 pounds?"

Walking down the street, Yan Yi looked at the empty road ahead, feeling conflicted.

That's fine.

Lin Kai even picked up a piece of mud brick and poked a hole in it with his finger.

"This guy is already a match for ten thousand men..."

Thinking of this, Yan Yi shook her head.

He sighed.

"The Yan residence..."

Looking up at an unremarkable building in the corner ahead, Yan Yi pondered for a moment before stepping forward.

This is the second Yan residence that Yan Zhixi specially built outside of the original Yan residence.

It was specifically used to store the handsome guys that Yan Zhixi "took a fancy to".

Yan Yi wasn't "chosen" by anyone, but he knew this place existed.

"Let's go and see... Since General Lin is willing to trust me despite past grievances, then I should do something to help General Lin..."

Yan Yi muttered something.

...

The decorations inside the Yan residence were quite impressive, including a screen carved from rosewood, a carpet woven from fox fur, and a glass-carved map of Dali...

However, after Yan Yi pushed open the door and entered the lobby.

The dozen or so handsome men in the lobby, all adorned with rouge and powder, paid him no heed and were completely unaware of his arrival.

"Miss Yan was killed on the spot! Don't you want revenge? Are you even human?"

"If it weren't for Miss Yan making me her third wife, how could my father have become the registrar in the county government? Is this how you treat Miss Yan now?"

"Young Master Xie, please don't be angry...aren't we trying to find a solution?"

"Since Lin Kai is a general, he must have soldiers accompanying him. The biggest problem is how to get close to him..."

"Doesn't the Yan family have eight hundred servants and maids? Can't all that people subdue Lin Kai?"

"But these people have never handled swords before... what if..."

"Eight hundred it is! Eight hundred men, the first to strike is the best!"

"Yes! We can't let Rongyang City fall into the hands of that scoundrel Lin Kai!"
