It doesn't matter what the lord is.

After a while, a quiet conversation was heard outside the door:

"Thirteenth sister, why did you bother to ask the city lord for help? Does he look like someone who would agree? I mean, Thirteenth sister, I'm the only one by your side. But I'm always clumsy and can't help you much. It's so hard to find someone to help you, but the city lord actually..."

"Stop it. Tira...you know I don't like to hear this."

"Um...I'm sorry."

Fang Shisan pushed open the door, pushed the wheelchair's tires, and slowly moved to the bed.

She fumbled for a while, put her hand on mine, and whispered:

"Don't worry. I've made an agreement with Tira that she will come to my place to take care of me a few times a day. The rest of the time, she will stay with you. Just focus on recovering from your injuries. The sooner you get better, the sooner I can breathe a sigh of relief."

She was still smiling, but there was a hint of bitterness in her smile.

I roughly guessed what had just happened, but there was no need to speak out, so I agreed calmly.

Fang Shisan smiled, as if to shake off all the bad mood. She reached out and gently groped, unbuttoned my clothes, and said:

"Let me change the medicine for you. I'll also check your injuries. Otherwise, I'll always be worried..."

17. That day won’t be long

What Fang Shisan did not lie to me was that she could actually complete the dressing change work independently.

Although she can't see, her fingers are very deft. After removing the bandage, she will carefully touch the skin to determine the location of the wound, then gently apply the ointment on the wound, and then carefully wrap a new bandage. I know this is also part of her self-redemption. If I refuse her care, Fang Shisan will definitely feel more uncomfortable, so I let her do it.

The dressing change job, which was very easy for me, caused beads of sweat to appear on Fang Shisan's fair cheeks.

After wrapping the last bandage, Fang Shisan said:

"It feels like it's healing faster than I thought. A trained body does have an advantage in this regard. If an ordinary person were injured this badly, I'm afraid..."

I'm afraid he has died a long time ago.

She didn't finish her words and shook her head hastily, probably not wanting to think about it too much.

When I think about it, I feel that my own brother is a very cruel person.

Fang Shisan hesitated for a moment and said softly:

"Jade. Do you still remember that Ata stabbed you? When I saw him, he always said that it wasn't him. I don't think... he's lying."

He is indeed not lying, but can I tell you this?

After some thought, I decided to give full play to my acting skills at this time.

I was silent for a while, then lowered my voice a little, pretending that nothing was wrong, but deliberately letting people see that something was wrong, and said:

"I don't remember. Maybe I passed out by then."

Then he immediately comforted her:

"In fact, it's not necessarily him who did it. Sometimes, in order to please their masters, their subordinates will guess their masters' minds and do things for them. Maybe when the city lord was away, someone else sneaked into the interrogation room and did it secretly. Haha, I believe that although the city lord is a little rebellious, he is not such a bad person."

Fang Shisan was deeply moved after hearing this, but he bit his lip and the expression on his face changed several times.

I heard that if a programmer's program has a bug, you want to tell him, but it doesn't work to tell him directly. If you tell him "Hey, your program has a bug", he will most likely reply with "Do you know how to use it?", "Have you configured the environment?", "Do you understand the program?", etc. However, if you politely tell him "The result of your program is not as expected, can you help me check if I am using it incorrectly?", his first reaction will most likely be "Oh my god, is there a bug?"

This is very true.

Similarly, there is more to adding insult to injury than just stepping on someone. You can deliberately praise someone to the point that the other person finds it unlikely, and she will naturally start to doubt him. I believe Fang Shisan knows what kind of person Fang Lita is in her heart. There is no need to follow others in pointing fingers at him. Saying a few good words for him will make Fang Shisan feel that she has to bear humiliation for the sake of the overall situation, which is also an important part of strengthening her inner guilt.

As I expected, the pressure from Yuxi City and Qianyuan City is increasing, and Fang Shisan still has a lot of work to do.

However, from her expression, it can be seen that this matter has definitely become a small grudge in her heart.

That's enough.

After Fang Shisan left, Tiara came in, sat in front of the bed, and asked:

"What did you say to Sister Thirteen? She doesn't seem to be in a good mood."

I said:

"Nothing much, just chatting about recent events."

Tira looked at me suspiciously, but soon stopped dwelling on it. It was obvious that she was a girl who could not hide things very well. After trusting me, she opened up directly and said aggrievedly:

"You were injured, weren't you? Thirteenth sister has a lot of things to do recently and can't stay to take care of you. I have to take care of Thirteenth sister, so Thirteenth sister went to discuss with the Lord Mayor, saying that she hopes to arrange two more maids for her. Guess what happened? The Lord Mayor discussed with the people around him for a while and told Thirteenth sister that he was also very short of manpower recently and couldn't transfer anyone."

For the sake of caution, I did not express my opinion, but smiled and said as before:

"Maybe you're really busy?"

Tierra put his hands on his waist indignantly, frowned, and said angrily:

"What? Why are you still on his side? You don't know that after Sister Thirteen and I went out, we leaned on the door and listened for a while. A guard who was very close to the city lord said directly to the city lord, 'Give her two maids today, and she will ask for more things tomorrow. We have finally taken back the power bit by bit, and we must quickly strangle this tendency and kill Fang Shisan's desire in the cradle.' Do you think this is reasonable? I am really angry. Are those people all evil?"

After Tira finished speaking, she puffed up her cheeks and looked angry and sad.

Well, although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, the situation is within my expectations.

In fact, even if Fang Lita really dispatched maids or guards to take care of me here, it doesn’t matter. I will quickly accuse them of trying to poison me, and Fang Lita will not be able to clear himself of suspicion either.

Seeing that Tira was really angry, I also comforted her a few words.

Tira sighed, changed the subject, and said to me with a smile:

"But you are quite courageous! I heard that the immigrants from Yuxi City were classified as undercover agents by the city lord, and you showed up to protect them. In fact, if you hadn't shown up at that time, the city lord probably wouldn't have targeted you specifically. I didn't expect you to be such a loyal person."

"Why do you say I can't believe it... Don't I look like a good person?"

I complained, and Tira laughed and said:

"I originally thought you were definitely planning on hitting on Sister Thirteen."

As Tira spoke, her voice gradually lowered:

"But now I think it would be better if it were true. Thirteenth sister is too indulgent to the Lord City Lord. If she falls in love with someone else, she might become a little selfish, and then she won't give all her love to the Lord City Lord."

I planned to fold my arms behind my head and rest them on the headboard while we talked, but as soon as I moved, I felt a piercing pain.

Logically speaking, it shouldn't be that painful, but the ointment Fang Shisan applied was too irritating.

This is what is called good medicine tastes bitter... No, it tastes bitter on the body!

Tiara's voice gradually became quieter:

"Sister Thirteen said that I only need to go to her a few times a day. But this also means that her eating, drinking, bathing, and going to the toilet have to be scheduled. Especially going to the toilet, hey, even when she wants to go to the toilet, she has to hold it in. This kind of life is a bit too unfair! So sometimes I really wonder how she persisted."

I couldn't help but nodded.

I often think so too.

So, in order to make her no longer suffer one day, I have to continue to make things difficult for her.

But that day won’t be too far away...after all, there’s a bad guy like me here.

18. Create new memories

In fact, according to the actual situation, this knife wound will heal quickly.

But in order not to be exposed, I kept suppressing my strength, including the speed of my body's recovery. The strength I told Fang Shisan was actually similar to Alaya's. If Alaya suffered such an injury, it would take about four or five days to recover, so I stayed in bed for four or five days before getting out of bed.

With this time, many plans can be made more carefully.

Fang Shisan would come to see me every day and help me change the medicine. My injuries gradually improved, and the smile on her face gradually increased.

But every time I see her smile, I actually feel a little sad.

Because I know that I am a liar now, constantly deceiving her. And one day she will know these things, know my identity, know that I peeked at her battle formation sketch and then secretly informed her, know that my motives for approaching her are impure, know that I actually don’t have a wife, and know that the rapid growth of hatred between her and Fang Lita is all due to me.

But when have I ever considered myself a good person?

So I still lied to her.

After I fully recovered, I immediately went back to work to help her share the pressure. But at the same time, I didn't give up the opportunity to get close to her because of fatigue. Occasionally, I would push her wheelchair to walk on the street or outside the city, chat with her, and joke with her.

I have to create enough memories so that she will side with me in the "choice" that is bound to come in the future.

So I've been intentionally interacting with Fang Shisan more recently, and all sorts of things have happened to me. There are at least three things that can be called memories.

The first one is the formation teaching.

That day, Fang Shisan took the initiative to teach me the strategy of deploying troops. I was also very interested in it, so I stayed in the room with her and studied by lamplight in the dark night. Fang Shisan taught me a lot that day, and I also memorized it carefully, so I learned it very quickly. It is of course a pleasure to teach a talented student, and Fang Shisan was always very happy.

At the end of the conversation, Fang Shisan, who was sitting at the table, raised his index finger and gestured in the air:

"Then the center formation will be changed outwards, so that the body is dispersed but the spirit is not. On the one hand, we should avoid being too concentrated and attacked by the opponent's magic, and on the other hand, we should not be too dispersed and lose the formation. In daily exercises, changing the formation must be the focus of the exercise. At the same time, the most important thing is to make them trust each other and move forward courageously. Do you understand?"

I nodded:

"I understand. But Miss Thirteen, what if the other side has a very strong assassin who is aiming directly at the center of the formation?"

Fang Shisan lowered his hands, put them together, placed them on his legs, and continued:

"Soldiers versus soldiers, kings versus kings. In the past, I took the approach of strengthening the strength of the center of the army. Although it made the formation a little difficult to spread out, it didn't matter because there were no particularly strong opponents around. It was just that I suffered some losses when attacking Yuxi City... But I believe it will be fine in the future."

"Ok?"

"Because you are by my side now, right? Jiade."

She laughed and I nodded. Maybe...she became more dependent on me.

The second one is Under the Moon and Before the Flowers.

Recently, Fang Lita and I have been quite busy, except for his usual lagging. Fang Shisan stays in the army during the day and returns to the city lord's mansion at night, but he often stays up late alone. As for me, in addition to continuing to act like a traitor, I also have to deal with many problems in the city.

After a tiring day, I saw Fang Shisan, who was looking at the scenery in the yard. I took the initiative to step forward and bowed, saying:

"Thanks for your hard work."

Fang Shisan sighed, and I took the initiative to walk over and massage her shoulders. Fang Shisan trembled, but did not refuse.

I continued to ask:

"Not going well lately?"

Fang Shisan replied:

"The military pressure is still high, but the offensive firepower of Qianyuan City and Yuxi City has stopped. I don't know if it's my illusion, but they seem to be planning something. Recently, my formation is still occasionally guessed... I don't know if I have become slow."

I picked a still tender flower from the tree and inserted it into Fang Shisan's soft hair, encouraging her softly. It was a little cold that day, Fang Shisan lowered her head and rubbed her hands constantly. I took her hand, and Fang Shisan did not refuse, but showed a slightly confused look.

That day a shooting star streaked across the clear night sky. I clasped my hands together and made a wish in a voice that she could just hear:

"I hope everything goes well for Tianxing City."

Of course, I continued to go to her room in the middle of the night to steal the sketches and then secretly send them out by pigeon.

The third one is spending money lavishly.

No matter how big a crisis Tianxing City is facing now, a happy day is coming soon - the day of salary payment. However, the salary is really pitiful. Fang Shisan himself seems a little embarrassed. When he gave it to me, he specially explained that the ten cities controlled by Fang Lita, including Tianxing City, are now facing direct pressure from the north and south forces, and the money and food are basically used for war preparation.

Of course, I know the real reason is that Fang Shisan had handed over the city's money to Fang Lita a long time ago. And he obviously didn't really let go of his hatred, and retaliated against me in this way.

Everyone has a scale in their heart. How could Fang Shisan not see it?

But she didn't say anything, and I didn't mention it. After weighing the money, I went out to find a traveling merchant, picked and chose, and bought a dark blue necklace. Didn't Fang Lita give his sister a pair of earrings when he was a child? I should show my appreciation in some way.

After returning, I squatted in front of Fang Shisan's wheelchair and said with a smile:

"I'll give you a gift."

Then help her gently put the necklace around her neck.

Fang Shisan couldn't see anything, but she actually cared about her appearance to some extent. She usually kept herself very clean and was a girl who loved beauty. But rather than loving beauty, it was more like she wanted to find more value in herself to make herself less useless.

Just like that year, she, who was blind and lame, chose the job of deploying troops, which was the least suitable job for her.

Fang Shisan's fair and smooth little hand stroked the slightly cool necklace, and a warm smile slowly bloomed on his face.

She asked softly:

"Is it expensive?"

I said no. Fang Shisan smiled and said:

"You're lying. I can tell by the material."

She thought about it and advised me:

"I like it very much, but I'd better return it. It costs a lot of money."
