It doesn't matter what the lord is.

What does it mean? ? Are you going to have sex with me? ?

After thinking it over, I realized that only Fileta could write such a note. But isn't this too bold? I'm only 17 years old. I should be pure and innocent at 17. How could I do such a thing?

So I immediately called Felita into the room. When we were alone, Felita hugged me again, but this time I scolded her seriously:

"Stand still!"

Fileta stood up straight with fear, her plump breasts shaking. I coughed and said:

"Filita. You know, everything has to be done at the right time, otherwise there will definitely be problems. Now that the weather has turned cold, it's best to stay indoors at night, understand?"

Fileta nodded obediently.

I said:

"Yes. I'm glad you understand. Don't be bound by the place. If you have a romantic heart, you can find beautiful scenery everywhere. Okay, take the note back. I won't bother with you this time."

Fileta asked curiously:

"Note? What note?"

I handed her the note on the table and asked:

"Didn't you write this?"

Fileta took it and looked at it, then shook her head. I frowned, called Alaya over, and asked:

"Alaiya, when He Yue and I were out, did anyone come to this room?"

Alayya thought for a moment and said:

"Never seen it, sir. What happened?"

I realized that the situation seemed a bit serious, so I called He Yue and Bai Huang over. After everyone was together, I first handed the policy suggestions I had written to He Yue, then took out the note, put it on the table, and asked He Yue:

"Is there any iconic building in the south of the city? The kind of place you think of when you mention 'south of the city'?"

He Yue put his hands in his pockets and replied:

"The residential areas in the south of the city are relatively sparse and the level of development is relatively backward. If there are any iconic buildings..."

He Yue suddenly clapped his hands and said:

"Granary! The granary of Yuxi City is in the south of the city!"

I held the note in my hand and asked:

"Speaking of which, Alaiya, did you say before that the last time the assassin entered the military tent alone, she was like a ghost. You didn't notice her arrival at all until she drew her knife on Fang Shisan and showed a hint of murderous intent?"

Alayya nodded stiffly.

I smiled bitterly:

"It seems that this 'ghost' is most likely already in Yuxi City."

Bai Huang, who had no idea what was going on, said in bewilderment:

"Ghost? What ghost? What are you talking about?"

I explained the situation to Bai Huang, who asked curiously:

"If there really is such an expert, it shouldn't be surprising that he could sneak into Yuxi City quietly. But the problem is, I've never seen a thief give a warning before committing a crime. According to common sense, isn't this her way of luring the tiger away from the mountain? In addition to the granary, there should be other important buildings in Yuxi City."

"For example, the demon breeding farm and the northern industrial base."

He Yue added, rubbing his brows, and said:

"If there is a problem anywhere, it will have an extremely bad impact on Yuxi City."

I thought about it and suddenly realized that the current battle strength of Yuxi City was still somewhat insufficient. Alayya was perfect in the fifth level of swordsmanship, and Felita was in the middle of the fifth level of magic. Even with the addition of Heji, the sixth level of swordsmanship, it was still a bit stretched in the face of this situation. To put it in an analogy, it was like playing Plants vs. Zombies and there was not enough sunlight. There were several roads that could not afford the pea shooter, and they could only pray that there would be no zombies on this road for the time being. Life and death were completely in the hands of others.

That was really uncomfortable.

Alaia said calmly:

"I will stay by the young master's side. If the assassin's target is the young master, I will find a way to stop her, even if it means sacrificing my life."

Fileta clenched the staff in her hand and said:

"I still have enough magic power now. If I activate the blood of the demons... maybe I can help."

They all looked ready to die.

I was deeply touched, but how could I express it?

Actually, you don't need to protect me like that. Besides, if the opponent is really a seventh-level assassin, you can't protect me at all. This time, I should protect you.

But before that, this situation... isn't it also quite interesting?

18. Start weight training

I feel like I always encounter a lot of bad luck.

I thought it was good to be reincarnated as the stupid son of a landlord, half crazy, half stupid, eating and drinking for free, and this life would pass by, but I didn't expect to be involved in family conflicts again. I finally escaped and fled to Yuxi City, but was ambushed on three sides and had no way to go. After the pattern of He Yue in charge of the interior and Fang Shisan in charge of the exterior was established, I thought I could finally breathe a sigh of relief, but I didn't expect that an assassin would appear again.

To be honest, I'm not afraid of any assassins. When I was in Yunhai, I wasn't afraid of Narus, Bai Feng's ninth-level spearman, when he fired his gun. The current assassin obviously can't even reach Narus' level, so I'm naturally not afraid of her.

The problem is that this is such a big city, you can't just rely on me if something goes wrong.

So I decided to use this assassin to give everyone present a weight-bearing training.

For example, Alayya learned how to use a sword to kill people, and the reason for learning the sword was to protect me.

But the problem is that since we were in Lingyun City, I have never really been threatened with death. Although my mentally retarded brother has troubled me time and time again, I have basically resolved them by myself, and Alaiya is not aware of it.

So even though I always threatened her, "If you don't train hard, I'll chop your head off in the future," Alayya's potential could never be fully realized.

When Alaiya and I encountered the red-maned bear in the demon territory some time ago, it should be considered the moment when my life was at stake in these years. After that battle, Alaiya's strength has greatly increased, and I have also tasted the sweetness - it turns out that as long as I put me in a dangerous place and wait for Alaiya to save me, she will burst out 100% of her potential and her strength will grow like wild grass.

No wonder in Journey to the West the master was captured by monsters every day and relied on the eldest brother to save him. So this is what it meant.

It seems that Brother Sanzang is also a good man with good intentions like me!

The more I think about it, the more it makes sense. The assassin sneaked into the city, and the one who should be under the most pressure should be Bai Huang. She is responsible for the security of the city and needs to search for the whereabouts of the assassin as much as possible. The second is Alaiya and Felita. These two people are the highest combat power in Yuxi City, and they always put protecting me as the first priority. I have to force myself to become stronger. The next is He Yue, who must make accurate judgments to deal with the crisis in the city.

And the best part is, with someone like me hiding behind the scenes, Yuxi City will not get completely out of control.

Then it can be said that this situation is the most suitable for them to quickly improve their strength.

Thinking of this, I was actually somewhat grateful to the assassin who visited Yuxi City at this time. However, this joy was not expressed in words. I still looked sad and said:

"I think that since the assassin only sneaked into my room and left a note, but did not attack me directly, it at least shows that she did not regard me as her main target. So our most urgent task should be to focus on her next action, rather than my personal safety."

He Yue agreed and said:

"Indeed."

When everyone showed panic to some extent, He Yue was the first to calm down. He turned around and comforted Alayya and Felita:

"Although I know that you two are very worried about the safety of the Lord City Lord, it is just as you said. The assassin went to the military camp alone and almost succeeded in assassinating Fang Shisan. At the same time, she was able to escape unscathed despite the siege and interception of so many of you. If she really has any ideas about the Lord City Lord, we can't stop her. We can only leave it to fate. The problem now is that there is not much time left until tonight. Whether it is a warning or a strategy to lure the tiger away from the mountain, the assassin is likely to take action tonight. How we deal with the enemy next has become a top priority."

Bai Huang took the note in his hand, read it over and over again for a while, and said:

"I am a little confused now. Ah...really!! An assassin uses so many tricks. Does he look down on me? Speaking of which, wasn't that assassin looking for trouble with Fang Shisan at the front line? Why did he come to Yuxi City again?"

In silence, He Yue asked Alayya:

"Did the assassin only appear when Rivet City was about to be breached?"

Alayya nodded.

He Yue continued to ask:

"Then she sneaked into the military tent late at night and tried to assassinate Fang Shisan. After being discovered by you, she first defeated you, and then did not assassinate Fang Shisan. She just left like that?"

Alayya nodded again.

He Yue frowned, and after a while, he sighed and said:

"It seems that after you left, Fang Shisan ignored that guy and continued to attack the city."

Bai Huang asked in disbelief:

"Really? She has only been in Yuxi City for a short time, and she is willing to risk her life for this place? Alayya and Felita are back. If the assassin is determined to kill her, she will definitely die on the spot without even a struggle."

He Yue glanced at me with a wry smile and said:

"There is no other explanation... You really can make that little girl fall in love with you. You have only known her for a month, right? I thought she would at best be willing to help, but it would be hard for her to do her best. I didn't expect that she would even be willing to give you her life. But obviously she made the right bet. The assassin didn't intend to kill her. Seeing that she was attacking desperately, he came to Yuxi City to find a solution."

Bai Huang clapped his hands and said:

"Then I understand. In fact, there is no need to think so much from the beginning. Her purpose is just to disgust us and prevent us from expanding our power to the east. If Fang Shisan's route is not feasible, the best way is to sneak into the city and burn the food and grass. Then we will have to return to defend and prepare for the winter."

But in the blink of an eye, Bai Huang held the note again and said strangely:

"That shouldn't be the case. Why would she just go and burn the food by herself? Why would she go through all the trouble of leaving us a note?"

He Yue said:

"I guess there are two possibilities. One is that the person who left the note is not the same person as the assassin. Someone else wants to remind us to beware of danger. Another possibility is that this is a declaration of war from the assassin. She wants to tell us that even if we know about this in advance, there is nothing we can do."

Bai Huang slammed the table:

"How can it be such a coincidence that someone comes to burn our food and someone comes to help? I think she doesn't take me, Yunhai Baihuang, seriously at all! Come on, Heji, let's go meet that guy. I want to see what kind of person dares to bully me. If I don't beat her into a pig's head, I, Baihuang, might as well change my name to Boiled Chicken!"

Heji on the side cast a helpless look at me, clearly telling me -

"I may not be able to beat him even if I fucking win!!"

I shrugged briskly and let him do whatever he wanted.

Heji hesitated for only a moment before running out again after Bai Huang.

19. Everything Can Be Killed

After Bai Huang ran out, He Yue said helplessly to Alayya and Felita:

"You guys stay with the city lord. In any case, the other party doesn't seem to have any intention of killing anyone yet. This is a rare buffer time for us."

What this means is that he hopes Alayya and Fileta can become as strong as possible during this period of time.

I saw that He Yue didn't look too good, so I walked over, patted his shoulder, and said:

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself, just do it. No matter what the result is, I won't blame you."

He Yue shook his head and whispered:

"I may know why there are assassins targeting us."

He looked at me with a complicated expression and said:

"Although I am not well-known, just like Bai Feng was able to find me performing in a brothel, those lords with strong [Anbu] organizations and outstanding intelligence capabilities also know of my existence. Including Fileta and Fang Shisan, they are all well-known people in the West, but due to various reasons, everyone works for various forces and cannot be integrated together. But now that you are here, all of us have gathered in Yuxi City at once, and even Yunhai Baihuang has joined in. In the eyes of some people, we have become a threat."

He Yue said, patted my shoulder and said jokingly:

"But fortunately you are relatively useless, which lowers the average."

I agreed with that, but then I felt something was wrong and complained:

"Hmm... huh?? Are you complimenting me???"

He Yue nodded heavily and said with a smile:

"In the eyes of those people, you were forced to leave Lingyun City because you couldn't compete for the benefits and righteousness. Later, you sang and danced in women's clothes and became a laughing stock. Later, you were expelled from Yunyang. Later, you cooperated with Fangyuan to break through Tianxing City and returned the city. In summary, your reputation is basically negative now. So most people don't care about Yuxi City at all, which gives us the opportunity to grow quietly."

He Yue adjusted her hair and said calmly:

"But there are still smart people in this world. There are thirty-six lords in Yongtian, and hundreds of city lords under them. It is impossible that all of them are idiots. It is normal for someone to cause trouble occasionally. This assassin also reminds us that from now on, we should not underestimate the talents in the world."

What He Yue said makes a lot of sense, and I am also pleased that the strategic vision of my own internal affairs minister has further improved.

Although his vision of people is still as bad as ever.

As early as when I met Bai Feng... No, when I met Fang Yuan, I found that this world is quite interesting. When I was in Lingyun City, I was in contact with those unpromising young masters. Although I felt bullied by fools at first, I could easily integrate into this circle and become one of them over time.

This is also the reason why I was eager to meet the famous [Cloud Sea Phoenix] after arriving in Yuxi City and officially gaining freedom.

However, based on the idea that I will deal with anyone who deals with me, I have no intention of letting the forces behind the assassin go.

I hope they can understand one thing.

Peaceful coexistence is the best outcome. If you don't commit suicide, you won't die. We have no grudges or hatred, so why should we narrow our own path?

Fileta spent the entire afternoon studying alone in the library.
