A New Character Every Month

The biting cold wind kept pouring into the city from all directions, and even the people who were used to the cold usually got off work early at this time and went home to rest.

On the streets, apart from the thick snow, there were hardly any people to be seen.

Only on the city wall, there are still dedicated soldiers standing, no matter how the cold wind blows, they can't shake them at all.

If it weren't for the eyes that turned from time to time, people who didn't know would think they were sculptures.

At this moment, their eyes were looking at the thin young man in bright silver armor standing on the edge of the city wall from time to time.

There was a hint of longing and respect for that person in his eyes.

"After so long planning, it's finally here."

The young man looked at the looming mountains in front of him, and a smile was drawn on the corner of his mouth.

"In my previous life, I just wanted to be an ordinary rich man. With gifts from another world, I thought it would be easy. But I didn't know until later that wealth without strength to maintain is like water without a source. The slaughtered lamb, no matter how much it earns, is also a wedding dress for others.

Then the troubled times began, and the life of a human is worse than the life of a dog. I could only do the most menial work, survived for decades, and finally died in an unknown small mountain village. "

"But since God has given me a chance to do it all over again, in this life, I will go straight to the sky and fight for the position of emperor!"

The young man was filled with pride.

"Commander Lin."

A lieutenant came by and said respectfully: "It's very cold today, why don't you go back down and rest first, and just let your subordinates watch over here."

The young man shook his head: "Because of the sharp drop in temperature today, I have to watch over here to prevent accidents. Otherwise, if I go down today, when the marching and fighting encounter danger in the future, could it be that I, the commander Do you still want to hide behind and watch you all work hard?"

The lieutenant showed guilt, bowed his head and said, "This subordinate has been taught."

He looked up again at Commander Lin in front of him, surprised at the maturity of the other party that was extremely inconsistent with his age, and was even more ambivalent about the other party's painstaking efforts with the pawn.

You must know that Commander Lin is a proud man who graduated from Tianjing Academy, and he passed several assessments in a row during the years of graduation, and obtained the position of Juren.

With the help of the academy and such talent, he could have become a county magistrate in the land of fish and rice in the south, but for the sake of revenge in his heart, he came to this bitter and cold place in the north to work with them.

When Commander Lin first arrived, he and the group of soldiers guarding the city were extremely disgusted. After all, civil servants and military generals have never dealt with each other.

Facing the academy faction who only knows how to talk on paper, they have never had a good impression.

But Commander Lin is different from the usual academy faction, in dealing with people and things, he is well-founded, and he has never looked down on them.

And whenever there are savages from the wilderness attacking, Commander Lin is also the first person to rush.

Whether it's one's own strength or commanding troops to fight, they are definitely not comparable to those who talk about war on paper.

"We are really lucky to have such a leader."

The lieutenant sighed in his heart.

Ancient Phoenix City.

After the fundraising started, within a day, the people in the city donated enthusiastically.

Many of them donated most of their net worth.

Not even less than some people yesterday.

The few officials in charge of registration were even more contemptuous of those people yesterday.

After those people donated yesterday, they didn't take this matter to heart.

Your Zhou family asked us to donate, and we donated for your face, what else can you do?

Anyway, if the Zhou family dared to trouble them with this matter, they would not be jealous, and they would be really anxious.

If it's a big deal, ask some adults in the court to help, the Zhou family will naturally be unable to bear it.

Xu Family Mansion.

After finishing the affairs, Patriarch Xu returned to the bedroom as usual, sent out the servants, and ordered a few cronies to guard the door.

Then he walked into the inner room, came to a wooden frame, and slightly turned the direction of an inconspicuous vase on it.

There was a sound of mechanism sliding, and the bookshelf opened to the side.

Behind it was a secret room.

Faint light came through the door, and Patriarch Xu walked in greedily.

In the secret room, several huge luminous pearls were set on the wall respectively, and the light source emitted illuminated the secret room.

Below, there are boxes of treasure chests containing gold, silver, jewelry, and rare and exotic items.

"A few more boxes coming soon."

Patriarch Xu stroked the treasure box intoxicatedly, and murmured to himself: "It seems that, after waiting for two more months, I can still redeem the body of the courtesan of Zuihualou, and accept him as my No. 20 third-bedroom concubine."

Thinking of the extremely alluring oiran when he went to Zuihualou a few days ago, he was a little excited.

If it was normal, he might not spend so much money on concubines.

But soon, he will be able to earn a lot of money, and take part of it, but it's easy.

"Master, master, it's not good!"

Suddenly, the butler's voice came from outside the door.

Patriarch Xu walked out of the secret room and closed the bookshelf.

After tidying up his clothes, he opened the door.

He looked at the flustered housekeeper outside the door, frowned and said, "What are you talking about, I'm doing fine."

"No, sir, it's our shop..."

The housekeeper was speechless.

"What happened to the shop?"

Patriarch Xu looked displeased.

The housekeeper said: "All the shops in our city have been sealed!"

"Sealed?"

Patriarch Xu immediately opened his eyes wide and stared over, "Who did it?"

The steward said: "I heard that it was written by the princess."

"It's Zhou Yunhan? Who gave her the guts to touch my Xu family's property?"

Patriarch Xu's face flushed red with anger, as if he was devouring someone.

"Parents, it's bad, it's bad!"

At this time, a servant ran from a distance.

Master Xu suppressed his anger and asked, "What's the matter?"

The servant hurriedly said: "Outside... the gate is full of soldiers, they won't let us go out!"

"How unreasonable is this? A yellow-haired girl dares to bully me like this. I want to see how much she weighs!"

Patriarch Xu was furious, flung his sleeves and walked out.

As soon as he approached the gate, he saw a group of murderous soldiers surrounding the outside. From the looks of it, they were definitely not ordinary city guards.

And by the door, there are guards he spent a lot of money to train, who are confronting him.

However, compared with the well-coordinated soldiers, these guards faintly fell into a disadvantage.

Seeing Patriarch Xu walking out of the gate, a middle-aged general in charge stepped forward and said, "Patriarch Xu, someone has reported you for oppressing goodness, cheating and causing death or injury, please come with us!"

"Did Zhou Yunhan call you here?"

Patriarch Xu asked with a disdainful expression.

"This matter cannot be shared."

The middle-aged general stretched out his hand to the outside and said, "Patriarch Xu, please."

"presumptuous."

Patriarch Xu scolded loudly: "Even your county king would not dare to talk to me like that, you little official really used chicken feathers as an arrow. Tell Zhou Yunhan to get the hell out of here. I really want to ask, why did she ban me?" The property of the Xu family dares to come and arrest me!"

The middle-aged general sneered and asked, "Patriarch Xu really won't come with me?"

"Let Zhou Yunhan come to see me!"

As Patriarch Xu said, he turned around and walked towards the gate.

"Do it! If there is resistance, shoot and kill!"

The middle-aged general immediately gave the order.

Immediately, a group of soldiers who had been staring at her for a long time rushed towards the nurse who was gradually losing momentum.

Patriarch Xu, who had just walked to the door, heard the voice, and immediately stepped quickly, trying to rush into the door, but his clothes were immediately grabbed by one hand.

"Patriarch Xu."

The middle-aged general smiled and said, "Can you come with me now?"

"Come on! Help me!"

Patriarch Xu struggled twice, seeing that he couldn't break free, he hurriedly shouted to the side.

But as soon as he saw it, he was taken aback for a moment.

There were more than 30 guards, but within a few breaths, half of them fell down.

Although the remaining guards were still struggling to hold on, their defeat was already evident. Facing soldiers who were not weaker than them, and had more cooperation and numbers than them, they were powerless to recover.

"Surrender without killing!"

The middle-aged general shouted, and the remaining guards put down their weapons and knelt down to surrender.

"You... how can you do this?"

When Patriarch Xu saw these heavily-trained guards, he easily surrendered, shaking with anger.

"From now on, the Xu family will be sealed off, not a single fly will be let go."

After the middle-aged general gave the order, he prepared to leave with Patriarch Xu.

"I tell you, you are dead."
