Therefore, compared to those low-level guards who hate more than they are grateful, this fourth-level team leader agrees more with Shan Ye's actions.

After all, the relationship between the two parties is just a cooperative relationship. Shan Ye has no obligation to help these people. Even if it were not for the old alchemist, Shan Ye might just leave these people and leave. After all, those purple-armored knights are organized people at first glance. For those who want to

For Mr. Shan, who settled in the imperial capital, being low-key is everything.

As long as the current predicament can be solved, Shanye is also thinking about equipping his own troops with heavy cavalry, so that he will not suffer in terms of speed and impact.

Therefore, Shan Ye did not care about the hatred of those low-level guards. If he did not want to protect the safety of the old alchemist, Shan Ye would have been hiding long ago. It is not that he is really afraid of these people, but at this moment, Shan Ye's

Identity is indeed a bit sensitive. If you want to keep the ice base and the half-elf settlements that have just formed a large scale, Master Shan must keep a lower profile than before.

"Thank you so much, Lord Sam. I didn't expect that you are also a hidden professional!" The old alchemist sat in the carriage with Mr. Shan, and his gratitude was beyond words.

Master Shan smiled and glanced at the guards outside. There was no emotion or anger in his voice: "These guards seem to lack training and actual combat on weekdays. I think they should be improved. It's best to find more new guards.

Enrich these old guard."

Thinking that some of the guards surrendered directly, the old alchemist felt his face heat up: "These mud-legged people have always been used to being undisciplined in the family. It was because of this that Lady Anne's uncle wanted to change some guards.

Yes, but unfortunately something happened before it was implemented."

It can be seen that the old alchemist still has some feelings for Uncle Anne. After all, he is the lord who has ruled that territory for several years. Although he mined the rich magic stone mine without telling everyone, he is indeed a good person.

"Why don't we go to the Imperial Capital this time and tell Lady Anne directly to replace all these useless guards. Anyway, the Imperial Capital is full of outstanding people, so it's time to replace some more advanced guards." The old alchemist and the guards

We usually don't have much interaction with each other, and we also have a lot of opinions about this incident.

Let alone being weak, he actually surrendered with three or four guards. How can he be called a guard? He might as well be called a coward!

It is precisely because of the chaos of more than ten years that these worms are scattered and lack practical combat. If this happens again next time, will the old alchemist go to the battlefield himself?

So thinking that his own safety could not be guaranteed, the old alchemist became angry. He immediately ignored his feelings and told these guards to get out when they arrived in the imperial capital.

Presumably, with the dual suggestions from the old alchemist and Master Shan, Anne would consider it carefully.

On the road again, we did not encounter any danger and arrived near the city wall. Because it was closed in the middle of the night, the city gate was not opened until the morning. After a detailed and rigorous inspection, these carriages loaded with a large amount of alchemy materials and equipment were

Allowed to enter the imperial capital.

After passing through the city wall and looking at the wide roads and neat buildings, Master Shan sighed slightly and focused on the shop.

The location is relatively remote, but that's relative. It's not on the main road, but in a spacious alley very close to the main road.

Although it is an alley, there are still a large number of shops here, and the level of excitement is only slightly less than that of the main road.

It is precisely because of the large number of customers that this store that is not ready to leave has a very high price. Shan Ye does not want to be taken advantage of. After at least half a day of bargaining, with Shan Ye's price reduction skills in his previous life, he can only lower the price.

Just ten percent.

Seeing that the shop owner was unwilling to bite the price, Mr. Shan thought for a while and nodded to the old alchemist.

Because he was ready to leave a long time ago, he just couldn't bear to part with those goods, so after Shanye bought those goods directly, the shop owner happily went to the real estate bureau with Shanye and the old alchemist, registered and signed the sales contract, and paid the

For a certain fee, this shop in the imperial capital becomes the joint property of Lord Shan and Viscount Anne.

The reason why this shop is so expensive is not only because it is located outside the imperial capital, but also because its area is not small.

Not to mention the storefront, with its molded marble floor and high-end edge-wood shelves, except for the somewhat old decoration, everything reflects the prosperity and luxury of the imperial capital.

There is a warehouse, a large yard, and two rooms for people to live in the back, so in total, there are three rooms and a store.

Of course, the area may not be very large, after all, this is an imperial capital where every inch of land is precious.

Looking at this thing called a flyer in his hand, the old alchemist hesitated in his eyes: "Will this thing work?" After Shan Ye bought the shop, he immediately prepared to open it with great fanfare. However, it was really late today, so he could only wait until tomorrow.

.

Distributing flyers and printing advertisements were simply the basic ways of doing business in the previous life. But in this world, Master Shan will set off an advertising craze.

The first thing is to distribute leaflets, which is definitely a scorpion's shit, the only one.

Now that he is going to do it, Mr. Shan is prepared to spend a lot of money. He does not actually go to the streets to hand out flyers, but directly sells door-to-door. There will also be several live lottery performances at tomorrow's opening ceremony.

Because there are nobles in the partnership, when printing the flyers, Mr. Shan also printed the emblem of the Anne family on them. This is a potential statement, proving that this store has nobles as shareholders.

Only with the participation of nobles would they take a serious look at this store. And when Anne came over, Lord Shan immediately asked her to visit the former chief of staff.

Although the chief of staff has retired from his position due to age, his connections are still there. After all, he works in the imperial capital. His son is now also a low-level staff officer. With the advice of the old staff officer,

It is only a matter of time before he is promoted to mid-level staff officer. As for senior staff officer, he can only rely on his own efforts.

After a brief investigation, Mr. Shan arrived at the home of the chief of staff with several bottles of medicine and Annie.

When they arrived at the place, Mr. Shan couldn't help but wonder, is this the home of the chief of staff?

Although it was kept clean, everything looked dilapidated.

It is hard to imagine that the home of a senior chief of staff would look like this.

Even Anne was a little surprised, but she conveyed her thoughts politely. The servant also seemed a little surprised by the guest's visit, but he still helped to inform him.

After waiting for a while, an old man with a depressed look came out. When he saw Mr. Shan and the other two, he was startled at first and seemed a little surprised, because he didn't recognize either of them.

"Who are you two?" Seeing Anne's name card, the old chief of staff knew that the other party was the heir of an old friend. However, his identity was really embarrassing at this time, so it was better to draw a clear line.

"Are you Mr. Burton? I'm Anne..." Anne briefly introduced her identity, but did not make the request of Mr. Shan as agreed, because she saw the dejection in the other person's expression and the location of his residence.

It was so broken that even a fool knew that something must have happened to the other party's family.

Sure enough, when he heard Annie's name, the other party just sighed slightly and told the truth, because the matter was too big and there was no need to hide it.

My father is a senior chief of staff of the military, with a lot of power. In addition, he lives in a wealthy and luxurious environment, so the son of the old staff officer, who is still a low-level staff officer, has developed a unique aristocracy.

sense of superiority.

This is nothing. Nobles are supposed to have a sense of superiority over ordinary people. In addition, the concubine had a son at an old age, and the concubine doted on the only son, so "a loving mother often loses her son".

I didn’t learn much about strategy from me, but I did develop all those bad habits of spending time and drinking. Originally, these were nothing, weren’t they just a bit of a playboy? Everyone’s children are like this, so it’s not a big deal.

But the old staff officer underestimated the power of the "loving mother".

He has been overly pampered since he was a child, and the old staff officer often helped his son wipe his butt. Fortunately, he also knew that this was the imperial capital and did not dare to play too crazy.

At best, he bullies men and dominates women, and he would not dare to kill anyone.

This time, the troublemaking son fell in love with a beautiful girl who grew up in a civilian area.

After robbing and playing, I thought I would give him some money and forget it, but the girl was very stubborn and she used all her strength to bite off a piece of meat from the dude.

This was terrible, the dude was injured, and his anger surged, and he cut off the little girl's legs at once. He originally wanted to cut off her hands, but something happened, so he left the little girl covered in blood in the stinking ditch.

inside.

In the following months, the old chief of staff, who was supposed to retire in a few months, was dismissed for some reason. He was dismissed, not retired.

There is no pension or any subsidy.

At this time, the old staff officer was horrified to realize that his colleagues who were usually close friends with him had already begun to distance themselves from him.

After mobilizing his power to investigate, he discovered that it was a Marquis who was behind the move. In addition, some political opponents in the past had been trying to make trouble, and he had been protecting his faction, and even gave up this chess piece with little use value from the beginning.

But the old chief of staff couldn't figure it out? He didn't provoke the marquis, and they even knew each other. Although they were just acquaintances, they shouldn't suddenly attack him?

But when things got here, it became difficult to continue the investigation. I owed a lot of favors, and the old staff officer found out that it was related to his son.

The little girl who was crippled by her own son was the illegitimate son of the Marquis. Although he did not like to see this low-status illegitimate child, the fact that his own child was crippled by others still made the Marquis feel ashamed immediately.

Light.

Nobles are also human beings. Even though this Marquis did not have many heirs, he still felt compassion for this disabled daughter. Even if he sympathized with him, it was nothing. He would not have angered a senior staff officer who was about to retire just because of this.
