Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Xiao Zeyu had personally issued a test for Zhou Chuan and Zhang Jinglin. He had used Luo City’s city defense map to make one attack and the other defend, giving each of them 500 soldiers.

Zhou Chuan and Zhang Jinglin were familiar with the art of war and fought in full swing in the virtual war.

Su Qing accompanied Xiao Zeyu to watch the battle. She wasn’t too familiar with the art of war, but she could see that both were good at offense and defense, using the smallest number of casualties to obtain the most significant victory.

In the end, Zhang Jinglin won by a narrow margin. Although he did not wipe out Zhou Chuan’s army, who lost and could not enter the city.

Zhou Chuan congratulated Zhang Jinglin on becoming the martial arts champion. Su Qing looked at the high-spirited Zhang Jinglin and felt he was a good match for her cousin Luan Hong.

Xiao Zeyu saw that Su Qing was staring at Zhang Jinglin again. He remembered the task that Su Qing had given him and asked Zhang Jinglin,

“Jinglin, have you ever been married?”

H H

Zhang Jinglin did not expect Young Master to ask him about marriage. His fair face instantly turned red. Zhou Chuan laughed and teased him,

“Young Master wants to be your matchmaker.”

Zhang Jinglin was even more embarrassed, but seeing that Xiao Zeyu was waiting for his answer, he could only cup his fists and report,

“Reporting to Young Master, Jing Lin is still unmarried.”

“If you’re not married, I’ll send you to Jingshi Dao to be the Zhizhou. Take my token to Yan Shikuan and ask him to help you take down the Zhizhou of the imperial court.”

Just as everyone thought Xiao Zeyu would be a matchmaker, Xiao Zeyu’s expression turned cold. With a serious expression, he appointed Zhang Jinglin as Jingshi Dao’s Zhizhou.

Zhang Jinglin was stunned for a moment. Shouldn’t he follow the team to battle after becoming the martial arts champion? At the very least, they would lead troops to protect the city! Why was he sent to Jingshi Dao to be the Zhizhou?

However, the Young Master had already given the order. As a subordinate, he could only obey the order. Zhang Jinglin immediately cupped his fists and thanked him in a clear voice,

“Jing Lin thanks Young Master for promoting him.”

Xiao Zeyu patted Zhang Jinglin’s shoulder in all seriousness.

“Work hard. Don’t you want to repay Miss Su? Help me protect her house and Jingshi Dao’s restaurant and care for her family.”

“Yes, Jing Lin will take good care of them.”

Xiao Zeyu ordered Wu Xiangyang,

“Accompany Zhang Jinglin to Jingshi Dao and assist him in managing the government office.”

“Yes, Young Master.”

Although he was not a Zhizhou, being able to manage the government office with him was also a chance to train. Wu Xiangyang agreed excitedly.

“Jingshi Dao is a bitter and cold place. Later, I will order people to send cotton clothes and quilts to the two of you and your families. 1 will give you two days to prepare.”

Time was tight, and Xiao Zeyu only gave them two days to prepare. Although Wu Xiangyang and Zhang Jinglin felt that time was tight, they still thanked him and hurried home to prepare.

Su Qing wrote a letter to her father. The letter stated that Zhang Jinglin was the husband candidate she had chosen for Luan Hong. He asked her father to arrange for him to meet Luan Hong quietly. After the two confirmed that they were interested in each other, she would tell Zhang Jinglin her intentions.

The letter to her father was accompanied by Xiao Zeyu’s letter of appointment, appointing Wu Xiangyang as Jingshi Dao Zhizhou and Zhang Jinglin to Luo City to be Luo City’s general.

“Shuisheng, thank you.”

Su Qing looked at Xiao Zeyu’s appointment letter and thanked him gratefully.

He had sent Zhang Jinglin to Jingshi Dao for her sake. Now was the time to use people, so good steel was not used on the blade.

“Qing’er’s matter is my matter. Although we are in a hurry to hire people, we are not in a hurry. After we take down Luo City, we can’t leave immediately. Let’s settle down first and recuperate before attacking the capital next spring.”

The road had to be taken one step at a time, and they could not be rushed. The recruits needed to be trained, and in the cities they conquered, they needed to appease the people and ensure an everyday life. They also needed to strengthen the city’s defenses—all required time.

The civil and military officials had all been selected. Chen Qing Zhou was in charge of the government office, while Zhou Chuan was training the recruits. All of them had entered their respective roles.

Xiao Zeyu and Su Qing were still very busy. With recruits, they needed a large number of weapons. Su Qing wanted to level up her forging, so she went to the iron mine.

Xiao Zeyu was afraid that the traps he had set up would not be able to safeguard against the people from the Imperial Court, so he asked his Martial Uncle to accompany him and Su Qing to the iron mine.

The old Taoist priest wanted nothing else but the wine brewed by Su Qing. He brought more than ten jars and still felt that it was not enough.

When the three of them arrived at the iron mine, they discovered that the imperial court had sent soldiers to look for the iron mine, but they had all been wiped out by Su Qing and Xiao Zeyu.

Su Qing’s blacksmith shop opened for business after cleaning up the Eagle Claws from the imperial court. She forged weapons every day. Seeing that her skill points were increasing gradually, she felt that the speed was too slow, so she brought three people to work together. They were all her disciples. Su Qing also gained skill points when they forged weapons; her speed was three times faster.

Zhou Bo and Xiao Zeyu re-set the mechanism. Xiao Zeyu looked at the mechanism designed by his uncle and felt ashamed.

There was no need to worry about the iron ore being discovered by the people of the imperial court.

While Su Qing and Xiao Yu were busy preparing for the attack on the capital, something big happened..
