It doesn't matter what the lord is.

Bai Feng smiled and said:

"I know. Big brother is loyal and righteous. You, me and Ah Huang, the three of us have always had a good relationship... Even now that we have to decide the winner, I still regard you as my big brother."

Bai Ye said:

"That's why you let A Huang go to Yuxi City."

"Her identity is too sensitive. If she stays in the City That Never Sleeps, she will definitely become a pawn in the hands of someone."

"Even if you and I don't want to involve her?"

Bai Ye shook his head and sighed.

Bai Feng smiled and said:

"Now everything is no longer up to you and me, right? You who said to me, 'If you have a promising future, I am willing to give up my position,' aren't you sitting here now, sitting opposite me?"

Bai Ye said in a deep voice:

"Yeah. I gradually have people I want to protect, so I have to fight for it."

Bai Feng asked tentatively:

"Can't quit?"

Bai Ye shook his head and asked:

"Can you?"

Bai Feng smiled but said nothing.

Both of them stood up. Bai Ye took the initiative to extend his hand, and Bai Feng took it. The hands of the two brothers, Bai Ye's was rough and covered with calluses, while Bai Feng's was white and tender, but very cold. Bai Ye hesitated for a moment and whispered:

"If I lose, take good care of Ah Huang and Yun Hai."

Bai Feng nodded seriously.

……

Lingwu Territory, Lord's Mansion.

Lingwu Territory is located in the north of the thirty-six lords, close to the giant tribe, one of the "six middle tribes". The giant tribe has a huge body and strong skin. It used to be an enemy of the gods and is a more difficult opponent to deal with than the demon tribe. Because the demon tribe is in serious internal strife, most of the demons that invade human territory are low-level demons with strength of about one or two levels. With only the advantage of numbers, the actual threat is not great. But the giant tribe is different. Although there are few large giants above the tenth level attacking, there are occasionally giants with strength above the eighth level invading the border.

The Lingwu territory was still able to be defended, and its strength is self-evident.

Someone estimated that one of the three top ten sword masters should be in Lingwu Territory. In Lingwu Territory, there should be no less than fifty masters who have cultivated various martial arts to the eighth level or above. In addition, there is a magician of the eighth level of magic and a magician of the ninth level of magic. If Yunhai Territory is ranked in the top ten in Yongtian Kingdom, Lingwu Territory is conservatively estimated to be in the top three. It's just that a lot of manpower was used to defend the giants in the north from moving south, which involved some energy.

Inside the manor, a woman with her face covered by a red veil sat on the stage. Judging from her features, she was about twenty years old. Although her true appearance could not be seen, just half of her face was enough to captivate the whole country. The bright red embroidered dress not only did not look tacky on her, but instead highlighted her nobility. Although the loose red dress concealed her curvy figure, the pair of straight beautiful legs revealed between the hems were clearly visible. Her waist-length black hair fell to the ground as she sat down lazily. The woman gently picked up a letter on the table and read in a low voice:

"The minister in white entering the imperial city... is not a good sign."

There was a knock on the door, and the woman sat up a little straighter and said:

"come in."

A girl dressed as a maid came in with a pile of heavy documents, put them on the table, and said respectfully:

"Here are the latest documents and news. Please have a look, Lord."

The woman in red said calmly:

"Back off... Yeah. Wait a minute. I asked you about Yuxi City earlier. Do you have any news?"

The girl lowered her head, not daring to look the lord in the eye, and whispered:

"Yes. The Lord of Yunyang severed his relationship with Lid, which was considered as expelling him from the Yunyang territory."

The woman in red said "Oh" and said:

"That old thief Yunyang is only good at bullying others in his own territory. We should select two people from the three Lingwu guards and secretly infiltrate Li Neng's fiefdom. If Li De wants to advance eastward, we should not let him go too smoothly. But we also should not let people see that we are his enemy."

The maid nodded in agreement. She swallowed and hesitated to speak.

The woman in red glanced at her and said:

"Alian, you've been with me for three years. Just say it if you have anything to say."

The maid named A Lian asked softly:

"My Lord, Yuxi City is not as bad as we originally thought. The chess pieces that Xingzhi had planted before were all caught by the Yunhai White Phoenix, and there were many casualties. A Lian just wanted to ask, why is my Lord so concerned about the situation in Yuxi City?"

The woman in red leaned back in her chair, slowly stretched out a hand, and gently stroked her brows, her tone becoming more soothing:

"It's nothing to say. I just heard that the guy won the Yunhai beauty this year, so I was a little curious. According to the rules, I, last year's beauty, cannot participate in the election this year, so I simply didn't participate in the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce this time. But I missed a good show..."

The woman in red changed the subject and said:

"He is willing to throw his reputation into the gutter and take the unknown He Yue away. Don't you think such a person is scary? Go down and do things more efficiently."

She propped her cheek up and spoke calmly.

A-Lian left the room, feeling her back soaked with sweat. She shivered involuntarily when the autumn wind blew.

1. Actually, we are sorry for him.

"Is it really okay? He Yue, please don't lie to me."

I looked at He Yue who was clumsily putting makeup on me and couldn't help but ask.

He Yue smiled and said:

"Don't worry. I'm not as good as you in drawing beautiful people, but when it comes to drawing ugly people, I'm second to none."

She didn't elaborate, but I probably understood it in my heart. When she was in the Tiancheng Lord's Mansion, she was really in a difficult situation. If she wanted to avoid being taken advantage of, she had to find ways to make herself more ordinary every day. This ability to vilify herself must be reliable.

After He Yue put away the cosmetics, I found a mirror and took a look.

My goodness, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a stubble, he looked seven or eight years older. Carrying the ugliness that was not suitable for my age, I felt the psychological pressure surge to an unbearable level, and couldn't help asking:

"Do I really have to be so ugly? What if Wan Fang Shisan thinks I'm too ugly and doesn't want me?"

He Yue put her hands on her hips, seemed very dissatisfied with my complaints, and kept saying:

"What are you thinking about? You are not going there for a trip, but to take the opportunity to sneak into Tianxing City and find out about Fang Shisan's background. When you ran to the city wall so ostentatiously to show off your power, many soldiers remembered your appearance. If you make the slightest mistake and reveal your true identity, Fang Shisan will chop off your head with one blow."

He Yue made a beheading gesture, threatening me.

That's right, after careful discussion, we decided to split into two groups.

Alayya, Felita, Bai Huang and Heji stayed behind to help He Yue, and together with Luger's army, they prepared to march eastward, waiting for an opportunity to encroach on Lineng's territory, and they would take as many cities from Lineng as they could. However, Lineng would probably increase its defense, and this was a battle that was almost a protracted war.

I will sneak into Zhaochen's territory, and preferably get to the City Lord's Mansion of Tianxing City, where Fang Lita and Fang Shisan live, and get some information. It would be best if I could delay them.

The reason why they finally decided to adopt such a tactic was actually the idea of ​​the fat man Fang Yuan whom they met on the way to Yunhai. Judging from the letters, he should have obtained some intelligence recently. Lord Zhaochen was in poor health. He had been studying immortality before, but failed too many times. It seemed that he was a little discouraged and decided to establish a successor.

Unfortunately, this successor had a very bad relationship with Fang Yuan. If he succeeded smoothly, Fang Yuan's fate would have been determined - he would be executed on trumped-up charges. As a fat man who refused to succumb to fate, Fang Yuan decided to rise up and think of a way to get him a fucking shot, but because of his limited ability, he couldn't gain a foothold, so he had to join forces with me.

According to him, he would mobilize all the troops in his territory and be on standby to cooperate with my actions.

According to his idea, he would first publicly express his willingness to accept refugees from Yuxi City and withstand all the pressure from Zhaochen.

I then said that Zhaochen in the north is now beginning to accept refugees. I know that some of you have always wanted to leave Yuxi City and live a stable life, so you can go ahead.

This is the first group of people to leave.

This group of people will be incorporated into Fangyuan City. At this time, Fang Shisan, who has long advocated accepting refugees, will definitely be tempted and begin to issue decrees to accept refugees from Yuxi City as well.

Another group of people will leave Yuxi City and go to Fang Shisan. And I will have to find a way to blend in with these people, enter Fang Shisan's territory together, and then use my handsome... well, now not handsome at all appearance to seduce her. But Fang Shisan is blind, so it doesn't matter what I look like.

Once I understand the specific situation of Tianxing City, I will find a way to send the defense situation to Fang Yuan. By then, Fang Yuan and He Yue will attack from the front and back. As the traitor, I am by Fang Shisan's side. I guess even gods cannot save Fang Shisan.

Miaozai Miaozai.

He Yue and I discussed it for a whole night and felt that there was no big problem with this tactic. He Yue also told me that if there was a chance, it would be best to lure Fang Shisan over as well. After all, it has been rumored that Fang Shisan and Fang Lita are not on good terms. If we can lure this famous disabled strategist to Yuxi City, we don't have to worry too much about the military.

I mean, you can just let it go and don't hold too high hopes.

After all, to be honest, even I am a little confused about the relationship between Fang Shisan and Fang Lita.

It doesn't seem like family affection, friendship, or love. It doesn't seem like harmony, rebellion, or the Cold War.

The water is deep.

Depending on the situation, killing Fang Shisan would be an easy solution. We'll talk about it later.

Alaiya was still a little worried. She didn't talk much before, but this time she asked me twice:

"You really don't need me to follow you, Master?"

I shook my head:

"Our team is too conspicuous. Everyone knows that Lid is accompanied by a blonde female guard, which is too easy to expose the target. There are also many inconveniences in moving two people. Don't worry, if anything goes wrong, I will hide."

Alayya nodded cautiously.

When He Yue finished putting makeup on me, it was just the time when the second group of people were about to leave Yuxi City. In order to hide my pampered life, I had been basking in the scorching sun in the yard for the past few days. Not only did I get darker, but many parts of my body were also sunburned and peeled, and it hurt when I touched it. But there was nothing I could do. If I ran over with my delicate skin and told people that I was a refugee, who would believe me?

I changed into a tattered cloth dress, carried a small package containing a few silver coins and some copper coins, and wore open-toed shoes. After waving goodbye to everyone, I joined the crowd leaving the city and walked north together.

At first, I thought these people didn't like staying in Yuxi City and must be dissatisfied with me as the city lord. In order to integrate into the group, I showed my self-deprecating spirit and started to diss the city lord crazily. Unexpectedly, I was stopped quickly.

A woman with a family and wearing ragged clothes patted my arm and said:

"Young man, don't say that. The mayor of Yuxi City...his name is Lide, right? He is a very good person. We are the ones who let him down, not him who let us down."

Everyone nodded.

The woman shook her head and said softly:

"But we also have families. Tianxing City's Fangli Tower has ten cities after all, and its power is much greater. Yuxi City is an isolated city. Today the demons are coming, tomorrow Zhaochen's people are coming, and the day after tomorrow Li Neng from the east will also come. We, we really can't see any hope... We are some very ordinary people, and we just want to live without so much fear every day."

After hearing this, I remained silent for a long time.

I thought of what He Yue said before, that the world would soon be in the midst of a time of great strife, with smoke of war everywhere and no place for peace.

But these are not my business. I try to communicate with them as much as possible, discussing the bitterness of life, slowly assimilating myself into an ordinary person, blending in with the crowd and walking towards Tianxing City.

2. Everyone wants to be a good person

When I arrived at Tianxing City, I realized that Fang Shisan was really good at winning people's hearts.

She personally went out to meet me for three miles. Before we even reached the city gate, I saw her in a wheelchair from a distance. She seemed to have deliberately dressed up this time, with a little blush on her cheeks and a little more rosy lips. The sun was shining brightly today, and the aqua blue earrings hanging on her two little earlobes sparkled in the sun, which was very beautiful.

I have to admit that Fang Shisan is indeed good-looking.

Of course, Fang Shisan was not the only one who came. Her guards were standing vigilant not far away, and her maid followed behind her to help push the wheelchair.

The army was there, of course, lined up on both sides, and it felt like a military parade.

Maybe someone told Fang Shisan that we were here. She waved and said with a smile:

"Logically, I should stand up to welcome you all. But my legs have been like this all the time, and I can't stand up. Logically, I should also remember what you look like, but my eyes can't see anything. I can only welcome you like this. But I promise you that you will never be bullied in Tianxing City. Even if it costs me my life, I will definitely protect you."

I led the applause.

This is a really beautiful statement. Regardless of whether it is sincere or not, at least it sounds good.

She came up to apologize first, but in fact she didn't need to apologize at all. As the actual commander of Tianxing City, she came out to greet us in person without any airs, which was absolutely impressive.

Fang Shisan smiled and said:

"I believe that everyone present here has chosen to come here because they have full confidence in Zhaochen and Tianxing City. Therefore, I am willing to trust every one of you. But as you can see, my physical condition is really worrying. Without anyone to protect me, any one of you can easily kill me. And I have the responsibility to protect everyone. Even if I want to trust you, I have to do an examination here. Please understand, I am deeply sorry for this."

As he spoke, Fang Shisan restrained his smile and bowed deeply.

Her hair fell from her back to her chest, and this time she bowed for at least five seconds, showing her sincerity.

Everyone expressed their understanding.

After all, if you run from one territory to another, you must be inspected. Everyone is prepared for this, but it is inevitable that you will feel a little unhappy and feel that you are being suspected. Now that the boss of the other party has personally apologized for this, how could there be any dissatisfaction?

The last bit of unhappiness also disappeared.

Under the guidance of the army, the team came forward one by one to show their identification, and I was no exception.

The ID was a high-quality imitation, but since I was the person in charge of collecting residents' information in Yuxi City, it was not difficult for me to issue an ID for myself. In addition, my strength was difficult to detect, so it was not difficult to pass the inspection. However, I took a peek and found that Tira was also among the people being examined, so when I spoke, I deliberately used the voice I had when we met last time.

Sure enough, Tira quickly looked in my direction, and I smiled gently at her.

Tira walked up quickly and looked me up and down. But because I was covered in blood when we last met, she couldn't see my specific appearance, so she was a little unsure and asked tentatively:

"Are you the hunter from last time?"

I nodded.
