Murong Xingchen opened his eyes, turned his head, looked at Qi Bei's frowning expression, and comforted him: "It's okay, if the poison of the curse was so easy to get rid of, it wouldn't have bothered me for so long."

Qi Bei raised his head, looked at Murong Xingchen and smiled, saying: "Xingchen, I will definitely find a way to solve it, trust me."

Murong Xingchen nodded. She expected to see Qi Bei's depressed expression, but he did not give her any negative emotions, but gave her hope with confidence.

Outside, the sun is shining brightly. Although the snow melting period has not yet arrived, the harshest season has passed, the snow has melted, and the return of spring to the earth is just around the corner.

The trading market in Xishan Town is crowded with people. The threshold here is much lower than that in Xiling City. Naturally, the items bought and sold are of a slightly lower grade. However, each level of items has its own market and is suitable for different groups of people.

, so the trading volume here is not low.

At No. 33 East Market Street is Dwarf Tim's weapons shop. Due to its excellent quality and reputation, as well as the diversity of trading methods, his shop's business is very good.

Tim's fame stems not only from his craftsmanship, but also largely from his daughter Lea.

Judging from the appearance alone, Liya is not bad looking and can be called delicate. However, if you look at the muscles of her arms and compare it with her height of just over one meter, you will be surprised.

The reason why Liya is famous is because of her toughness and ability to drink a thousand glasses of wine. She is friends with many adventurers. When she has more friends, her family's business will naturally be boosted and her family's shop will be expanded.

There is a protective cover, so the weapons shop has been running smoothly.

However, at this time, Shop No. 33 was blocked by a group of ferocious orcs such as tiger-men, lion-men, and all the customers who wanted to come in had to take a detour.

Some people in the distance gathered together and talked about it. Someone asked: "What's going on? Who is so bold as to block Tim's shop?"

"It's the people from the Lion Tribe who have taken a fancy to Tim's shop and want him to transfer it," someone answered.

"Don't Liya have many adventurer friends?" the man asked.

"What's the use of that? The leader of the lion tribe, Crow, has defected to the city lord. He has more than 40,000 soldiers and horses under his command. He has a high position in Xiling City. Who dares to provoke him?"

"I just heard that Xiling City has strict military discipline and the city lord loves the people like his own son. Why don't you go to the city lord's mansion and file a complaint."

"Complain? Are you stupid? The city lord wants to rely on the soldiers of the lion leader Crow. It's clear which one is more important. Why would he offend Crow because of such a shop owner?"

Inside the store, Tim and Lea were silent.

Suddenly, Liya stood up suddenly, grabbed two huge hammers and tried to rush out.

"Leah, stop." Tim rushed forward and grabbed his daughter's hand.

"Father, don't stop me, I'm going to fight these beasts." Liya growled like an angry female leopard.

"No matter how hard you try, you're just going to die if you go there. It seems like this store won't be able to stay open." Tim sighed.

"Since you can't drive, why don't you try hard and get a few helpers even if you die?" Liya said angrily.

"Death? Have you forgotten the tribesmen far away in the Black Hills? What will they do if we die?" Tim stared at his daughter and said, "Fight, he is not afraid. The warriors of the dwarf tribe have never been afraid of death, but for the sake of the tribe, they cannot

die.

Liya's anger was like a bucket of cold water being poured over her head, and she felt so depressed that she was about to go crazy.

At this moment, a group of patrolling soldiers suddenly came outside, led by Tietou.

Tietou is already in the position of commander, with a total of 4,000 soldiers from ten battalions under his command. This time, his people are responsible for the defense of Xishan Town.

When he came to Xishan Town for the first time, Tietou wanted to see everywhere, so he personally led a team of soldiers to patrol.

"Commander, something seems wrong there." The captain behind pointed at Tim's shop and said to Tietou.

"Go over and have a look." Tietou frowned and shouted in a deep voice. It was his first day in charge of the defense of Xishan Town and he was about to catch a few role models to emulate. Whoever touches him would be unlucky.

Seeing a group of patrolling soldiers approaching, these orcs were fearless.

"What are you doing?" the captain stepped forward and shouted.

"We're not doing anything, we're just chatting here." One of the middle-aged lion men said proudly.

"Chat? I think you are blocking here deliberately to prevent people from doing business." The captain was also an experienced man, and he could see the problem at a glance.

"Soldiers, please don't talk nonsense. Your General Crow is an uncle in the lower clan. You can go and ask him if we are causing trouble." The middle-aged lion man crossed his arms and looked like what you can do to me.

Tietou's gaze became sharp and sharp.

Xiling City is the Duke's territory. They were originally wary of Crowe. His men accounted for most of the Xiling City army. When the Duke established the Dragon Army, he defeated these orc soldiers.

The purpose of breaking up the formation was to prevent Crow from concentrating on his own troops.

"General Crow has always been self-disciplined. How could he let others do such things as bully and dominate the market? You still want to spread rumors and slander. You are so brave. You should arrest them all and put them into hard labor." Tietou said sternly.

The patrolling soldiers immediately drew their weapons and surrounded the group of orcs.

"Don't regret it." The middle-aged lion man stared at Tietou fiercely and threatened.

Iron Head cracked his mouth, took off his helmet, and revealed his shiny head. With a cold smile on his lips, he walked towards the middle-aged lion man step by step.

"You...what do you want to do?" the middle-aged lion man said sharply.

Tietou grabbed the middle-aged lion man's clothes and slammed his head into his face.

There was a crisp "bang" sound, and the middle-aged lion man's hairy face suddenly blossomed and was covered with blood.

"Threatening me, I'm tired of living." Tietou said as he kicked the middle-aged lion man's knee. Hearing a click, the lion man knelt down on the ground.

As the first group of old people around Qi Bei, Tietou is by no means arrogant because of his favor, but he understands Qi Bei's thoughts.

What Qi Bei wants is absolute prestige, and this prestige needs to be consolidated and carried forward by their confidants. Anyone or anything that goes against Qi Bei's will will be defeated.

At this time, the shop owner Tim and his daughter Lea came out and were stunned when they saw what was happening in front of them.

"Are you the shopkeepers?" Tietou wiped the blood on his head with a piece of cloth and asked.

"Yes, Master Jun, what are you..." Tim nodded.

"Are they causing trouble in front of your store?" Tietou asked. Since this matter involves Crowe, he must do it beautifully and not let others take advantage of him.

Tim was a little hesitant, fearing that this little captain-like military commander wouldn't be able to deal with such a big thing.

"Yes, they want to take over our store." Liya said angrily.

Tietou touched his bald head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the Lord of the City will never allow bullying and hegemony to happen. Anyone who flouts the rules set by the Lord of the City will pay the price."
