Chapter 69: Southern Invasion The meeting with Duke Gregg gave me a different perspective. I had been belittling myself as a poor, rural noble, but others saw the Robertson family differently. Those with political savvy viewed the Robertson family as already having joined the ranks of the great nobles. Perhaps I was being too self-deprecating. Not being assertive when I should be would only attract unnecessary trouble. Therefore, I decided to proceed with Ricardo's engagement to Duke Gregg's youngest…-

Chapter 69: The Backyard Hides a "Treasure" "Thank you, Young Master Lin." The two guards thanked him in unison and quickly entered the house. Lin Xi stood in the courtyard, his heart filled with panic. He learned from Mu Chuang that the two Taoists were somewhat skilled. He himself had transmigrated, and he wondered if they could see through his disguise. The two Taoists chased after them to the outside of the rear office, but were stopped by the gatekeeper. "Old Taoist, what's the rush?" Guard A,…-

Chapter 68: Ricardo's Engagement Even before Waomou declared himself king, various movements were already happening in Toriholi Village. One was the increasing influx of farmers into Toriholi Village. "If you go to Toriholi Village, you can cultivate fields with peace of mind," they said, and the number of people settling in the village was rapidly increasing. The population of Toriholi Village exceeded 20,000 in one fell swoop. Seeing this trend, I changed the administrative divisions of…

Chapter 68: Mu Chuang is Fierce to Outsiders Lin Xi froze upon hearing this. He hadn't expected Mu Chuang to be so shameless when he dropped all pretense. His heart tightened, and his palms began to sweat. Just then, a maidservant arrived to report. She had an unfamiliar face, and Mu Chuang didn't recognize her. "Young Master," she said, risking punishment, having persuaded the guards at the courtyard gate to let her in. Seeing Mu Chuang, she knelt down with a thud and said urgently, "My young lady has…

I thought the chaos in the country would eventually subside once the riots had raged to a certain extent. Based on my past life experiences, I knew that things fueled by anger alone don't last long. Eventually, people tire of rioting and things return to normal. I was sure of it. Even if they're consumed by riots, people will eventually want to get back to their daily lives. Even if they can loot food during the chaos, once there's nothing left to loot, they'll try to produce food to get their hands…

Chapter 67: Sleep First Chapter 67: Sleep First Once decided, two "whooshing" sounds were heard again from the treetops, and two black figures flew out one after another, disappearing from the Taoists' sight in an instant. However, the two Taoists were not to be trifled with. Their speed was no less than that of qinggong (light body skill). Two were in the sky, and two were on the ground, forming a chase. On the other side, Mu Chuang's "brakes" failed, and he fell into the backyard of the yamen…

Chapter 66: Hofa's Visit Returning from the capital, I peered into my daughter's sleeping face. "Marina is so happy," my wife Margarita said with a smile. In my daughter Marina's hands was a doll I had bought in the capital. "There were so many urgent matters this time, I couldn't choose something I really liked." "Seeing your face was the happiest thing for me." Indeed, my daughter, whom I hadn't seen in three weeks, couldn't hide her excitement. Now, it seems, she was exhausted and fast…
