Chapter 0001: The Most Unique Person in the Border Town

Fu Baobao said very seriously: "I never deny that I am afraid of death, and I take pride in being able to survive... But what about that scoundrel Fang Jie? He never thinks he is afraid of death, yet damn it, when has he ever dared to come forward during a fight against bandits? I bet you, in less than a quarter of an hour, that scoundrel will definitely pop out from somewhere with a grin, and then casually say to us: 'To celebrate our border army's great victory once again, I invite everyone to the Yunji Dog Meat Bun Shop for drinks!'"

Fang Jie, the character is understood.

Did you urinate

Fang Jie looked back and confirmed that there was no longer any smoke rising from his backside, preparing to take his leave

Li Xiaozong is the highest commander of the eight hundred elite troops stationed at Fangu City. Although he holds the rank of a fifth-grade officer, there is no doubt that within this small city of Fangu, which measures no more than three and a half miles in length and width, and even within the vast area exceeding two hundred miles, he possesses absolute power and status

Thus, Li Xiaozong felt a bit of a headache. The military achievements reported were fewer; how could he obtain more rewards? ... Upon thinking of this, he couldn't help but be taken aback, and then he had to reflect on when he had started to become so greedy ...

Because ... ...

Fang Jie said with some difficulty

Fang Jie tidied up the clothes and then replied earnestly yet somewhat smugly: "I am sent by heaven to benefit all of humanity..."

Of course, if nothing unexpected happens... you won't even live to see twenty-five...! A fool who has studied at the training academy for three years and still only knows how to attack without any defense, and the Ministry of War actually plans to transfer you to the border city... I almost want to mourn for you now

The battlefield and the slaughter have always been excellent subjects for poets to reflect upon

Since he was transferred to the position of deputy commander of the Fangu border troops three years ago, the area within a radius of two hundred miles has been significantly more peaceful than before. In his first year, the border troops were mobilized thirty-three times, killing over nine hundred bandits. Last year, the border troops were mobilized six times, killing over two hundred bandits. ... This year ... . ... To be precise, since the border troops killed the horse bandits last June, it took a full eight months before there was another operation.

How could the heavens bear to let you come down? If you were to stay up there, how much more silver would you help Him earn?

The brazier burns fiercely, with fine ash occasionally rising with the flames. The temperature inside the room is vastly different from that outside, warm enough to make one reluctant to leave.

If there is a solution, do I still need to pay for it?

A border soldier shook his head and said, "Even if the squad leader brings out five years' worth of military pay, it wouldn't be enough for each of us twenty-three brothers to have a drink at the Red Sleeve Tavern."

Chang Qiu Xiaoshu said with a smile: "He has a fortune to protect, so naturally he fears death a bit. You are different; you are a lone bachelor... Surviving eleven wars, yet you are still just a sergeant, which is indeed not a glorious matter"

... ...

The team is boasting again

Observing the young man squatting by the fire pit to warm himself, Li Xiaozong could not help but exclaim in admiration

Those who dare to sit with their backsides facing the fire in Li Xiaozong's study are not few among the eight hundred border troops of Fanggu City, for Li Xiaozong is not a general whose severity instills fear. His study is not as difficult to enter as the boudoir of the only one who dances with flowing sleeves in the Red Sleeve Invitation, which is said to belong to a young maiden. As for him... No more to say. His study is not as difficult to enter as the boudoir of the only one who dances with flowing sleeves in the Red Sleeve Invitation, which is said to belong to a young maiden. As for him... No more to say.

Li Xiaozong gazed at the banknote in his hand and sighed

... ...

With clear eyebrows and bright eyes, Fang Jie earnestly replied: "When Li Gandan and the others were fighting against the bandits, you have no idea how strong the wind was. To avoid freezing to death, I had no choice but to dig a snow cave to hide in. This is the best way to conserve energy and maintain body temperature. However, it cannot be denied that sitting for a long time will still make it damp..."

The New Year has just passed, and the weather remains so cold that one cannot bear to expose their hands. Especially in this desolate place at the northwestern edge of the Empire, it is not an exaggeration to say that if there are any issues with the prostate, the trickling urine could freeze solid on that useless appendage.

Fang Juexiao, you truly are a remarkable talent

Steam is rising from the buttocks, floating up in a whitish haze

He was born into the Li family of Longyou. Although he was merely a collateral descendant, he could still be considered a noble to some extent. From birth, he held the nominal position of Right Shixun, a rank equivalent to the seventh grade, a status that even a commoner would struggle a lifetime to attain. However, what commands the most respect for Li Xiaozong is not his lineage, but his exceptional abilities

Be content!

The lanterns of the capital are the subjects of their verses, the Yangtze River, the largest river in the empire, is also a subject of their poetry, and the delicate courtesans in the Half-Moon Pavilion are certainly among their inspirations. However, it cannot be denied that the young women of the Half-Moon Pavilion are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Fangu City

Li Xiaozong sighed and said, then shook his head: "Unless I change myself, you will always be the most special one in Fangu City. Go back to sleep, just looking at you makes me feel annoyed"

Rest assured, General

After finishing this sentence, the soldier Li Gan was momentarily taken aback. He turned around and seemed to remember something, asking: "Where did Fang Jie go? I haven't seen him since the fighting started!"

If there is no smell of urine, then it definitely is not urine

Fang Jie saluted and then turned to leave the study. Just as he stepped out and walked three or four paces, he suddenly heard Li Xiaozong's voice drifting over from behind: "Fang Juexiao, did you just fart?"

If the general has no matters to attend to, I will return to Jinyuanfang first. Tomorrow is the market day, and I need to prepare a bit.

Three years ago, Li Xiaozong took up the position of a border army officer in Fangu City. He also appeared in this small yet well-known city. In just a year, he became a celebrity in Fangu City. To explain it in the words of the border army's Zheng Li Gandang, this guy is just too damn good at making money

From this statement, it is evident that Dean Zhou places great importance on Li Xiaozong, but perhaps the next sentence from Dean Zhou is the key point

Li Xiaozong looked at Fang Jieren and asked earnestly

As they were organizing their equipment, the more than twenty border soldiers who had perished nodded almost simultaneously.

This incident involves a young man named Fang Jie

Outside the small forest, dozens of corpses lay scattered in disarray. Due to the extreme cold, the recently deceased had already stiffened, resembling stone. Under the glow of the setting sun, the blood that had turned to ice on those bodies refracted an eerie hue, akin to the wine produced abundantly in the Western Regions, which, when viewed through a delicate crystal glass, exhibited a similar color.

To speak frankly, it was indeed due to an unexpected incident that he ceased to act recklessly as he did before, for there are now many things in this world that he finds too beautiful to part with.

A person who is excessively afraid of death is surprisingly liked by everyone, why is that

Li Xiaozong cast a glance at him and said

A border soldier clad in imperial black leather armor and a deep blue uniform approached the corpses, wiping away the icicles hanging from his nose with a hint of pride as he said: "Beheading at level 43, recovering plundered goods, this achievement is neither too big nor too small. At the very least, I, as an accompanying deputy officer, can be promoted by half a rank. If I really get promoted to a captain, I will treat you all to drinks and entertainment at Hongxiuzhao."

In the study of Li Xiaozong, the military officer stationed at Fanggu City.

Feeling that his bottom was finally warm, Fang Jie took out a stack of square papers from his bosom and handed them to Li Xiaozong, saying: "The harvest from last month was not particularly remarkable, but it was less than a ten percent increase compared to the month before last."

... ...

The border army sergeant, who had survived eleven battles against empires and foreign enemies, sighed and said to the librarian, "Surviving eleven battles is nothing more than a scentless fart in front of Fang Jie. I dare say that even if he were to experience one hundred and ten wars, he would still come out unscathed."

The fierce cold wind blows in from the north, carrying snowflakes that brush against the ground, and then it sweeps up a considerable amount of withered yellow grass into the sky. The desolate scenery is still a form of beauty; if the sentimental poets from the imperial capital were to witness such a scene, they would likely compose a few verses that ordinary people would never understand.

It seems necessary to replace the current law enforcement team with a new group of individuals

Captain Li dared to bend down and pull off a gold chain hanging around the neck of the bandit leader, huffing as he held it up to his eyes: "That guy Fang Jie... he really knows how to make money. The living conditions in Fangu City have improved year by year because of his presence, I dare bet on it. The Imperial Capital's Imperial Guard doesn't have equipment as good as ours! They don't eat as well as we do either!" The living conditions in Fangu City have improved year by year because of his presence, I dare bet on it. The Imperial Capital's Imperial Guard doesn't have equipment as good as ours! They don't eat as well as we do either.

He turned around in surprise and asked, "General, has your skill improved again?"

Is this surprising

As Fang Jie walked towards the door, he said, "It’s not the first or second time I’ve eaten meat and drunk wine with the law enforcement team. Last time, one of the officers pretended to be serious about catching me, but after two pots of old wine, he started discussing brotherhood with me. You know, those who rely on others will always be at a disadvantage, and those who take from others will always be lenient."

Whenever Li Xiaozong recalls Dean Zhou's remarks, he cannot help but smile

The leather boots crushed the ice formed from coagulated blood, producing a crunching sound.

Fang Jie was taken aback, thinking to himself how this silent fart could have been discovered by the general

Here!

He just celebrated his twenty-sixth birthday last month. Not only does he come from a prestigious family, but it is also said that he graduated as an outstanding student from the Imperial Capital's Martial Arts Academy. Immediately after graduation, he was appointed as a border army officer. This also serves to confirm the rumors about his charismatic nature during his time at the academy. Oh no, the rumors of him being a charming figure are indeed true.

Fang Jie was taken aback, and then sighed deeply, "Fanggu City is great in every way, but it's just too damn cold! You can see your breath when you fart... you can see it..."

Baby Fu pouted and asked

... ...

At that moment, a handsome young man, seemingly around fourteen or fifteen years old, emerged from somewhere. He was wearing ill-fitting leather armor and approached with a smile, rubbing his hands together as he said: "To celebrate our border troops' great victory once again, I invite everyone to the Yunji Dog Meat Bun Shop for drinks"

Qiu Xiaoshu patted him on the shoulder and said: "Ever since this fellow named Fang Jie appeared in Fangu City, our meals have indeed improved quite a bit. You cannot deny that among the eight hundred border troops and two thousand civilians in Fangu City, there is not a single person who does not like that guy"

If you do not go back to sleep, I will throw this stack of silver notes into the brazier and burn them

That is thousands of taels of pure silver

Li Xiaozong shook his head and then said earnestly: "I ... ... saw it."

In order to secure the silver note ... ... I must take this rest now

It is said that in the imperial military, power is not the greatest, but prestige and status are undoubtedly the highest. Director Zhou of the Academy of Martial Arts, who can influence the attitude of the imperial military with every word and action, once publicly praised Li Xiaozong, stating that if Li Xiaozong has not perished due to his bad temper by the age of thirty, he is very likely to become the youngest governor in the empire.

Dean Zhou miscalculated, because Li Xiaozong has lived extremely well in the border town for these three years

Only Fang Jie would dare to sit with his backside exposed to the fire in Emperor Li Xiaozong's study, and it is indeed his own backside that is being warmed

Li Xiaozong exclaimed: "Fang Jie, were you sent by heaven to bring blessings to Fanggu City?"

Go ahead, I know you must have agreed to let Li Gan and the others have dog meat hot pot. Remember not to drink too much alcohol; if you get caught by the law enforcement team, I cannot show favoritism.

I completely agree
