It doesn't matter what the lord is.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. To put it bluntly, you are my protector. I can support you even if you eat for free for the rest of your life."

Fang Shisan made a rare joke:

"But I heard that you are the most freeloader in Yuxi City. If I don't work harder, how can I earn money to support you?"

So I am the one being kept, right? ?

Fang Shisan still had a smile on his face, leaning back in his chair, and said:

"It's already very good, Lid. Do you know what I thought about most when I was leading the troops?"

"General of Tiance Mansion?"

I asked.

Fang Shisan shook his head and said:

"I have thought about that, but it is too far away. What I often thought about at that time was that it would be great if someone could help me share some of the pressure outside of military affairs. Now that I think about it, this can be considered as a kind of freeloading, right? I only need to focus on the battles on the front line, and someone will naturally take care of the supplies in the rear. This was something I dared not think about before, but now it has really come true."

Fang Shisan bit his lip and said softly:

"I'm already very happy. What's left is to work hard to make money to support my family... no, to support Yu Xicheng."

As he spoke, Fang Shisan showed a high-spirited look and clenched his small fists.

I also moved a chair and sat next to Fang Shisan. Fang Shisan was still drawing and suddenly asked me:

"Lid, last time when Tira was collecting herbs, I saw you with a girl. You said at the time that she was your wife. Is that Miss Alaiya?"

"Yes."

I nodded and added:

"But I lied to her. Alaiya and I are not married, and I don't have a wife."

"That's it."

Fang Shisan said this, slowly turning his head, his hands still painting without stopping, but his head resting on my shoulder. The brown hair tickled my neck, but I didn't avoid it.

"are you free?"

"Not busy. How about you? Don't you want to take a break?"

"Need not."

After a brief conversation, I found a book and read beside her. She calmly drew scribbled patterns on paper, and the only sound in the room was the rustling of the pen.

I feel like I've gotten used to this feeling over the past month.

4. The kind that is hard to coax

Before going to bed at night, I found another book and read a story to Fang Shisan.

Her thin body was wrapped in a soft blanket, her eyes were closed, and her breathing was even. I wasn't sure if she was asleep or not, so I kept reading quietly until I felt sleepy, then I closed the book and walked out quietly.

I estimate that this kind of life will last about three to five years. As long as I don't mention it, Fang Shisan will no longer be willing to think about the brother who made him sad.

I have always believed that wounds caused by people should be healed by people. For example, if Fileta is bullied, I can help her get revenge. But wounds caused by time can only be healed by time. Fang Lita is no longer the Fang Lita of the past. What Fang Shisan misses is nothing more than the innocent days when they were children. This kind of nostalgia cannot be eliminated by beating Fang Lita, but it is not completely impossible. Isn't it just good for her? Fang Lita's successful experience is there, just copy and paste it and do it. It just takes a little longer, I don't care anyway.

Simply put, it is useless to be a hero for three seconds, you must be prepared for a protracted war.

When I woke up in the morning, Fang Shisan had already arrived at the front line.

I yawned and was about to find something to eat. Not long after I left the room, I saw Bai Huang sitting in the hall with her arms folded. I didn't think much about it at first, but after I took two steps, I heard Bai Huang "snort". I took two more steps, and Bai Huang "snorted" again. Seeing that I ignored her and walked straight to the kitchen, Bai Huang coughed a series of times, hinting wildly.

I frowned, feeling that the situation was not simple, so I walked to Bai Huang and asked:

"What's wrong? Do you feel like there's something foreign in your throat that you can't cough out or swallow? And you feel nauseous and retching when you brush your teeth in the morning? This is chronic pharyngitis..."

Bai Huang turned his head away and didn't listen to me.

I had no choice but to sit next to her and ask:

"What's wrong? Tell me."

Bai Huang said dryly:

"I am angry."

After thinking for a while, he added:

"The kind that's hard to coax."

I nodded:

"Is that so? Then I won't coax you anymore. Just stay here and get angry slowly. It will be fine once you're done with it. I'm going to go find something to eat first. I won't disturb you anymore."

After saying that, I turned around and tried to leave, but Bai Huang grabbed my pants. I just took a step forward, and she almost ripped my pants off. I had no choice but to sit down again while holding up my pants, silently saying in my heart, "I don't get angry when others get angry, but if I get angry and get sick, no one can help me." I sat back down, put on a smile and asked:

"Miss Bai Huang, what's wrong? Who bullied you? Tell me and I'll help you deal with him."

Bai Huang snorted twice and said:

"I'm afraid you don't dare!"

Yo ho.

Sure enough, Xiao Huang, you have learned how to provoke someone, right?

I slapped my thigh and said:

"I, Li De, am still very arrogant in Yuxi City. Tell me, I will help you!"

Bai Huang still turned his head away, not looking at me, and said stiffly:

"You don't have to take the initiative. I'm just angry. How can there be such a mean person? He doesn't look at people who come all the way here. On the contrary, he rushes up to greet those who are reluctant to come. Are all men like this?"

I sniffed and said deliberately:

"What's going on? Why do you smell so much like vinegar?"

Bai Huang stood up suddenly, stamped his feet, and said loudly:

"Lid!"

I also stood up and said:

"here I am!"

Bai Huang was so angry that his teeth itched and he shouted:

"Did I ask you to give my golden velvet silk quilt to Fang Shisan? Did Fang Shisan have more eggs than me at dinner last night? And what about housing? Fang Shisan obviously doesn't live in the City Lord's Mansion all the time, so why is the lighting in her room better than mine? And why does she have the power to mobilize Alayya and Felita, but I can only play alone?"

I looked at her with a question mark on my face and waved my hand:

"Okay, okay, okay, I admit everything you said later, but there is no way I can give your bedding to Fang Shisan..."

Before I finished speaking, I suddenly remembered that I and Alayya had told me yesterday, "Go to the City Lord's Mansion and find the best set of bedding for Fang Shisan"...

Damn, Aleyya can’t be that honest, no wonder she looked familiar when I covered Fang Shisan with a blanket yesterday. What should I do?

I lowered my voice, and Bai Huang sneered:

"Now you remember it, right? A man should take responsibility for his actions. I'm telling you, I don't mind using that quilt. Go ahead and use it with your lover!"

After saying that, Bai Huang walked out the door angrily.

I scratched my head. What the hell is going on? I went out to chase him, but found that Bai Huang had already run away. Instead, He Ji, the guard that Bai Huang brought from Yunhai, stood straight at the door. After seeing me, he smiled slightly, said nothing, and just pointed in a direction.

I smiled at him gratefully.

Heggie said:

"Lord City Lord, don't think that Lord Bai Huang is just losing his temper. I heard last night that Lord Bai Feng and Lord Bai Ye had an open break. Lord Bai Huang drank two pots of wine, but he was still sad. He wanted to talk to you, and after searching for a long time, he found you in Miss Thirteen's room, sitting at the head of the bed and telling her a story. Lord Bai Huang was so angry that he smashed two vases in succession when he went back, and he didn't even eat breakfast this morning."

I sighed.

He Yue once analyzed to me that Bai Feng sent his sister to Yuxi City at this time, which was clearly to keep her away from the center of the vortex, and it also meant that Yunhai would change. When Bai Huang returned to Yunhai, it was estimated that only one of her two brothers would be left, and Bai Huang probably knew it in her heart. In this situation, she really wanted to find someone to talk to, but she found that the only person she could talk to was flirting with other girls - at least that was the case in Bai Huang's eyes. With her spoiled personality, it would be strange if she didn't get angry.

It is normal to have a little temper when you are in a foreign country with no one to love you.

I rubbed my forehead and thanked Heji again. The White Phoenix guard smiled at me calmly and said something that I couldn't understand for a moment, but frowned when I understood it:

"It's a pity that Lady Bai Huang treats me as a guard instead of a friend. I can only ask the Lord City Lord to enlighten her."

There was a flash of loneliness in his tone.

I nodded and ran outside.

After finally calming He Yue down, Bai Huang got upset again. Although Fang Shisan's arrival filled in an important piece of the puzzle, the contradictions it brought were also obvious.

Fortunately, the direction Heji pointed me in was correct. After running for a while, I saw Bai Huang wandering around the street.

I took Bai Huang's arm, greeted him with a smile and said:

"Come on, Bai Huang, I'll treat you to a meal."

It’s a pity that Bai Huang and He Yue are different. She shook off my hand, put her hands on her hips, stared at me, and said word by word:

"Get lost!"

5. Do you have any solution?

Bai Huang and I stood on the street, looking like a couple breaking up, attracting passers-by to stop and watch. The main reason was that Bai Huang was very well-known, patrolling the city with his guards every day, and almost everyone knew him. My exposure was lower, but after all, I was the mayor of Yuxi City, and most people could still remember my face.

So this is not just an ordinary quarrel between young lovers, but a celebrity divorce, with people surrounding it in three layers in the streets and alleys.

"Lord City Lord, Miss Bai Huang is a good child, please comfort her."

"That's right, everyone makes mistakes, right? Life has to go on."

"Miss Bai Huang, you should also be more considerate of the city lord. Being a man is not easy. If there is anything, it would be better to talk it out."

A few brave people shouted in the crowd, and then the voices of all around surrounded Bai Huang and me. In this situation, even if Bai Huang was thick-skinned, he couldn't stand it. He grabbed my wrist with his backhand and dragged me out of the crowd:

"Give in, everyone, give in!"

After finally squeezing out of the crowd, Bai Huang propped himself up on his knees and panted, while I leaned against the wall to rest. At this moment, a pair of white hands holding a red wild fruit was handed to Bai Huang. Bai Huang raised his head, and I also raised my head, and found a little girl standing there with a cloth bag on her shoulder, with a shy smile on her face.

After seeing me, she was slightly surprised and asked tentatively:

"Lord City Lord...?"

I blinked and remembered.

When I first came to Yuxi City, I had met this little girl a few times. Her brother Yama was a disciple of Fileta, a little magician in Yuxi City. This girl's name was Yaqian. She always followed her brother and hid behind him when talking to strangers.

I touched her head and asked:

"Ya Qian, huh? You're not with your brother today?"

Yaqian shook her head and said:

"No."

After saying that, she tried her best to hand the fruit in her hand to Bai Huang and said:

"I just saw Sister Bai Huang here. She looked very tired. I happened to go fruit picking today, so I wanted to give the biggest and sweetest ones to Sister Bai Huang to try."

Bai Huang obviously suppressed all his anger in front of the little girl, smiling brightly, and took the fruit from Ya Qian, praising her for being gentle and virtuous, saying that she would definitely be a good wife in the future. Ya Qian's face was red, she lowered her head, twisted the corners of her clothes with her hands, and was too shy to speak.

I suddenly remembered something and asked:

"I remember the last time I saw you and your brother Yama, you told me that your family's conditions had improved a lot, and that you only needed to help with the housework, and no longer had to go out to pick fruit. Did something happen?"

Bai Huang also frowned and asked:

"If someone bullies you, be sure to tell me."

Yaqian waved her hands hurriedly and replied:

"No, no. It's just...my brother's birthday is coming soon."

Bai Huang and I looked at each other, neither of us understanding for a moment.

A sweet smile spread across Yaqian's face, and she said softly:

"On my birthday, the city lord and sister Bai Huang had not come to Yuxi City yet. Our family was very poor, but my brother still ran out and climbed the tallest tree outside the city, taking great risks to get bird eggs. That night, there were two small poached eggs on the noodles. But when my brother came down from the tree, he was pecked all over by the birds that came back. He slipped and fell, causing his left arm to be broken. It took a long time to recover. This time, it's my brother's birthday, and I also want to buy him a gift."

Bai Huang was deeply moved after hearing this. He touched Yaqian's head and asked:

"Is that why you went to pick wild fruits?"

As she spoke, she pulled Yaqian's arm over and found that there were also many scabs on Yaqian's hands, which looked like scratches. Bai Huang looked distressed and searched her pockets for her wallet, saying:
