It doesn't matter what the lord is.

Tira said happily:

"It's really you! You came to Tianxing City!"

As she spoke, she took my hand and led me towards Fang Shisan. I finally had a chance to take a close look at Fang Shisan. She raised her head with her eyes still closed. She probably knew we were in this direction based on the sound, so she raised her head instinctively.

Tira said excitedly:

"Sister Thirteen, the hunter I told you about last time is here!"

Fang Shisan's smile was as gentle as spring breeze and rain.

I cupped my hands and said:

"Meet Miss Fang Thirteen."

Fang Shisan said:

"No need to be so polite."

She hesitated for a moment and asked:

"I heard from Tira before that he encountered a [Demon Wolf] while collecting herbs outside, and was rescued by a hunter couple from Yuxi City at the critical moment. Since then, I have wanted to thank you. I wonder if your wife came with you this time?"

I knew you would ask this.

If Alayya came to Tianxing City with me, it would be very inconvenient for her to move around and the possibility of being exposed would greatly increase.

But if she doesn't come with me, she will be suspected.

Fortunately, we had already discussed this issue in advance.

I bowed and said:

"To be honest, when Zhaochen Territory was first opened to Yuxi City, I sent my wife and family over. But because Yuxi City still had some cleanup work to do, I had to stay to deal with it. So when Zhaochen Territory was opened for the second time, I came here with other people. I thought that since we were both in Zhaochen, we should be able to meet soon."

Fang Shisan’s face froze for a moment.

Of course she would feel stiff, because if it was really as I said, my wife and family were delivered to Fang Yuan. Fang Yuan and Fang Lita had a bad relationship, so it was impossible for him to let them go easily. At that time, I was the only way to go. If I were Fang Shisan, after hearing such an explanation, my main thinking direction would definitely not be "doubt whether this person has problems", but "how to keep this person in Tianxing City".

This change in thinking is actually beneficial to me.

Tira was a straightforward person, and couldn't help but cover his mouth after hearing this:

"How could it be...If he went to Fang Yuan's place, I guess..."

Fang Shisan took the lead and said with a smile:

"Of course. Although I may not be able to arrange a family reunion right now, we will still meet sooner or later. You already know my situation, welcome to Tianxing City."

I laughed in my heart. We will meet sooner or later. Isn't this typical procrastination?

Let me work in Tianxing City first, and when I have enough money, tell me about the discord between Fang Yuan and Fang Lita, and then give me some compensation. This is really easy to do. Unless Fang Shisan has the ability to swallow up Fang Yuan's territory, I am afraid that my "wife" and I will never see each other again in this life.

Well, but we teamed up to deceive her anyway. My "family" is still living a good life in Lingyun City, and my "wife" is staying in Yuxi City. I am the only one who came here to mess things up.

I nodded and said with a smile:

"My name is Jiade, I'm twenty-four years old. My weapons are bare hands, and my fighting skills are at the level of the fourth level of perfection. I had no choice but to be a hunter in Yuxi City before, but now I want to be a good person."

Fang Shisan said softly:

"Everyone wants to be a good person. But the world forces good people to become prostitutes."

3. It turns out that you two have a good relationship

There are no strong people in Tianxing City.

Fang Yuan said so, but even if Fang Yuan didn't say it, I knew it very well. Fang Shisan is very proficient in formations, and his ability to deploy troops is absolutely first-rate. If he had someone like Alaya or Felita under his command, Yuxi City would have been lost long ago. Back then, under Yuxi City, I watched with my own eyes a fourth-level archer shoot an arrow at the sixth-level archery level under the protection of the formation. If there was someone who was already at the fifth or sixth level, he would have been in trouble.

"You've been strengthened, come on!"

When the time comes, Fang Shisan will add a buff from behind, and the brothers who are responsible for the main responsibility will immediately become energized. It’s a bit tricky just thinking about it.

It is also because of this that Fang Shisan seems to value me very much.

The lies I had told her before helped to dispel her suspicion of me, but it was impossible for her to believe me. She treated me with courtesy for two reasons. The first was that I had saved her maid's life and helped her maid collect herbs. The second was that Tianxing City was so short of manpower that she had to use as many people as possible even though she knew it was unstable.

Therefore, Fang Shisan's indirect hints to me seemed particularly cautious.

But I am not a fool who knows nothing. I always find ways to cover up my lies, and so far they have been flawless.

When we reached the city gate, Fang Shisan asked me one last question:

"You said before that you would let your wife and family go first, and you would stay in Yuxi City to deal with something. What is it? Can you tell me about it?"

I shook my head decisively:

"I promised Lide, the Lord of Yuxi City, that I would not reveal a single word."

Fang Shisan asked without giving up:

"You know so many secrets, but Lidkin is willing to let you go?"

I said:

"It is precisely because I know so many secrets that he dares not let me go. It is precisely because he knows that I won't reveal a single word that he can let me go with confidence. Although it seems contradictory, this is the situation. The mayor of Yuxi City is not a bad person, but this city is too difficult and too shaky. I can't see any hope and future. Let's part ways in peace. Miss Fang Shisan, please don't embarrass me."

Fang Shisan laughed.

She said:

"How could that be? I will treat you better than Lid, but if one day you have to leave Tianxing City, I also hope that you can keep your mouth shut."

"That's natural."

It looks like he guessed it right.

I have always firmly believed in one very important point, that is, traitors will never have a good ending.

I, a hunter from Yuxi City, came to Zhaochen Territory, which was an act of betrayal. If I reveal a lot of secrets about Yuxi City, it would inevitably be branded as a traitor in Fang Shisan's mind. Maybe if I did this, she would give me a higher position as a reward, but to be fair, she would not discuss any important matters with me. She would even be on guard against me all the time, which was completely different from the purpose of my coming to Tianxing City.

Fang Shisan waved to the people on the city wall and said:

"Open the city gate."

To be honest, Tianxing City is more imposing than Yuxi City. At least the city wall is much higher, and it looks like a military stronghold. In fact, Tianxing City is indeed more important than Yuxi City. Yuxi City is more like a nail stuck in the border of the demon clan, wandering on the edge of Yunyang territory and even Yongtian Kingdom, no one loves it. But Tianxing City is a springboard for Zhaochen to go south to Yunyang, and its geographical location is relatively more important.

Moreover, Tianxing City is not directly adjacent to the demon clan, and there are two or three cities to the west. This is a bit like my Li Neng territory to the east, which is not directly disturbed by the war, the city wall is relatively new, and there are fewer scars.

It can be seen that Tira is Fang Shisan's close maid, who is responsible for pushing Fang Shisan's wheelchair. At Fang Shisan's invitation, I followed her into the city. The heavy city gate rose up. It is worth mentioning that Tianxing City also has a moat. The wooden bridge fell down, and we officially entered the city.

When I entered the city, the first thing I did was to look around to see what was going on. This certainly wouldn't arouse suspicion, because people would definitely do this when they arrive in a new place, and the more vigilant people are, the more they will pay attention to this, so I just looked around without worrying about it.

After just a quick look, I didn't find any useful information.

Judging from the clothes of the people on the street, Tianxing City is undoubtedly richer than Yuxi City. But I don't think they are that rich either, as they are all wearing cloth clothes and cloth shoes. They looked at us with curiosity, doubt, and clear hostility, but when their eyes touched Fang Shisan, they were obviously gentle and respectful.

It can be seen that Fang Shisan has a very high reputation.

Fang Shisan quickly arranged housing for the people who had migrated here, and told them to have a good rest. He would help them find work tomorrow. I was about to follow him, but Fang Shisan called me down.

Fang Shisan hesitated for a moment, then said with a smile:

"Would Jiade like to come and help me?"

I asked:

"doing what?"

Fang Shisan said softly:

"Working in the City Lord's Mansion. It might be a bit complicated at first. After all, most young men now go to the army, and the City Lord's Mansion is a little short of manpower."

I pretended to think, wondering if this was Fang Shisan's further test, and said:

"Since we are in Tianxing City, it's all up to Miss Thirteen to arrange. I'm not a picky person. I've done a lot of dirty and tiring work before. As long as I can stutter, it's fine. And I believe that with Miss Thirteen around, I won't end up in a situation where my talents are wasted."

Fang Shisan nodded. She seemed to be in a good mood and made a joke:

"You came to Tianxing City for a better future. If I still hide the sword in the box, it would be unreasonable. It's just that I didn't receive the news in advance, so I don't know what kind of position to assign to you. Letting you stay with others makes me feel neglected. After thinking about it, the only idea is to take you to the City Lord's Mansion."

I quickly said:

"Thank you for your kindness, Miss Thirteen. But if there is no suitable position, it's okay for me to live outside first."

Fang Shisan shook his head and said stubbornly:

"Come with me. Tira, when you come back, you can arrange a place for Jiade to live."

Jiade nodded in agreement. We walked towards the City Lord's Mansion with the guards. As soon as we arrived at the door of the imposing building, I saw a short boy waiting at the door. When he saw Fang Shisan, he ran over happily like a young swallow flying into the forest, took Fang Shisan's hand and said:

"Sister, you are finally back!"

It was none other than Lord Zhaochen’s young master, Fang Lita, whom he had met in front of the battle formation not long ago.

The difference is that at this moment he didn't have any rebelliousness or annoyance at all, and was as well-behaved as other children.

Well, he is someone else's child. But the contrast is too big, is this kind of cute contrast popular now?

Fang Shisan gently held his hand and said softly:

"Well, I'm back."

4. Please be the conflict mediator

After entering the City Lord's Mansion of Tianxing City, I felt embarrassed to look around.

This involves the issue of avoiding suspicion. It is normal to look around after entering the city. You will live here in the future, and everyone is curious and will inevitably want to see what is going on. But if the owner does not take the initiative to ask you to look around after entering someone's house, it is better not to look around. What's more, there are many female relatives in the city lord's mansion, and it is not appropriate for me to look around like a thief.

Fang Shisan introduced me to Fang Lita, but Fang Lita naturally didn't realize that I was the city lord who had been showing off in Yuxi City before. For some reason, Fang Shisan didn't talk about my strength, but only said that I was an outsider with good talent and planned to stay in the city lord's mansion to do odd jobs.

Fang Lita was somewhat hostile towards me, but I pretended to ignore it.

I guess his hostility comes from the fact that he doesn't want other men to get close to his sister, and he doesn't want a grown man like me to live in the City Lord's Mansion.

Tiara took me to find a vacant room. After I packed my luggage, I went to report to Fang Shisan. However, she said that I was tired from the journey and asked me to take a day off today and arrange work for me tomorrow. Naturally, I read a book in the room and then went to sleep.

When I first arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, the surrounding environment was quite tense. There must be countless pairs of eyes watching my every move all the time. No matter how I thought about it, I couldn't be careless at this time, so I chose to stay put.

After sleeping on a hard bed for a night, I suddenly missed the soft bed in Yuxi City. Although I had to sleep on the floor in the demon territory, at least I could sleep with Alaiya, which was a happy ending. The bed here was so hard that I felt sore in my waist and back after waking up. It was really miserable for a pampered young man like me.

After washing up, I followed He Yue's method to put on makeup. Just as I finished, Tiara came to the door and told me that Fang Shisan wanted to talk to me about something.

When I went over, Fang Shisan was eating breakfast alone.

Because she couldn't see, she often poked her chopsticks on the table. She had to use her chopsticks to search around and find the plate before she could pick up the food.

There were two guards standing at the door, one of them was yawning.

Fang Shisan's breakfast was not shabby, but it was somewhat simple. There was no meat or fish, and it was not very exquisite. It looked like something he had just cooked at home. Hearing footsteps, Fang Shisan raised his head and turned his face towards this side.

Tiara took a step forward and said:

"Sister Thirteen, I brought Jiade here."

I also bowed and said:

"Meet Miss Thirteen."

Fang Shisan put down his chopsticks and said with a smile:

"Have you had breakfast? Do you want to eat something together?"

I sat opposite Fang Shisan, picked up half a steamed bun, and said:

"Then I will respectfully obey your command... Miss Tira, please add another pair of chopsticks."

Tira was stunned for a while, then burst out laughing and said:

"If I tell you to eat, then you really eat it."

Fang Shisan was also stunned for a moment, but immediately said:

"That's fine. Jiade, you just woke up not long ago, I didn't think it through. Ti La, bring a pair of chopsticks. It's just a simple meal, if you don't mind, you can join us."

Fang Shisan ate faster. She put down her chopsticks while I was still wolfing down her food. I knew she had something to say, so I put down my chopsticks too. To be honest, it wasn't very tasty. Strictly speaking, it wasn't as good as the stewed radish and cabbage made by Alaiya. The dish was woody and astringent, and it was obvious that they didn't use much oil.

I wiped my mouth with the back of my hand and asked:

"Miss Thirteen, do you have anything for me?"

Fang Shisan nodded and said:

"Yes. Although you, Jiade, have just arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, I hope you can do something as soon as possible. This way, when I promote you in the future, the people in the army will be convinced. Otherwise, it will not be a good thing for you or the army to receive rewards without merit. The reason why the army of Tianxing City is strong is not only due to my dispatch, but also the result of everyone's unity."
